Play treasure master

Chapter 2 is really a ghost!
Yu Yao is usually very courageous, but who can stand this kind of thing?He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only keep talking, asking for blessings from all the holy gods and Buddhas he could remember.

Fortunately, the time of this golden light was not long, and at the same time, there was no sound anymore.

Darkness returned before his eyes.

After another 5 minutes of silence, Yu Yao slowly opened his eyes.

Look left, look right, look up, look down.

A crescent moon hangs in the air, intertwined with the dim street lights, and casts obliquely on the "Geguzhai" plaque; no one is passing by on the old street for the time being, and there are vehicles roaring past on the Binjiang Road connected to the east entrance.

The pile of ashes on the ground has lost half of its anger; the grimace in his hand has spent money, but nothing has changed.

Phew... Yu Yao let out a long breath.

At least there is nothing wrong with the eyes and they can see clearly.

Could it be that I was blinded just now?Hallucination?

Yu Yao stood up slowly, first carefully put the grimace money into his pocket temporarily, and lit another cigarette.

Xu is a little tired recently, dreaming and hallucinating.

However, until the end of a cigarette, this self-comfort did not play a big role.After Yu Yao returned to the shop and locked the door, he still felt a chill down his spine.

Walking to the washbasin stand in a corner of the shop, Yu Yao rubbed his temples after washing his hands and drying them, "Let's sleep for a while and be quiet."

There is only him in the store, there is no silence.However, there was an extra rolled up newspaper on the counter.

This seems to be left behind by the middle-aged man.

Yu Yao picked it up and unfolded it.

What newspaper is this?Not even a big color picture on the front page.

Ok?No, black and white?this ink?
Minsheng Lianbao.

October 27, the 26th year of the Republic of China, the fourth day of the ninth lunar month.

Yu Yao hastily read a few headlines, all of which were current events of the year.Turn over again, still.

Inadvertently, a news headline suddenly came into view.

A generation of masters passed away mysteriously yesterday, and the national treasure-level cultural relics are missing.

Next to it, there is a photo.

Looking at the photo, Yu Yao's hand seemed to be on fire, and he threw the newspaper out!

Although this photo is a black and white photo of a half body, it can't compare with today's high-definition pictures, but Yu Yao can still recognize it, it is the middle-aged man who just entered the store!

This is really a ghost!
I said why do people still dress like this these days!

Also, that newspaper was published on the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, so the "yesterday" mentioned in the newspaper was the third day of September!

Today is also the third day of September!
Death day.

Poor on the third night of September, the dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow.What a beautiful day this should have been, why did something like this happen to me? !

Ghost, I should have nothing to do with you?How did you find me?
Yu Yao stood by the counter, looking at the newspaper he threw on the ground, he was startled and frightened now.

However, it also brought a little curiosity.

the Grand Master?
Who is this person?I haven't looked at it just now...

In the end, Yu Yao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, forcing himself to go forward and pick up the newspaper, and put it back on the counter.

Now that they have all come to the door, is it a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided!

"A generation of folk legends, Xu Taiyan, a master of antique and cultural relic appraisal..."

ah?So, he is Xu Taiyan?
For a while, Yu Yao lost his mind.

As an antique peddler whose theoretical level and historical knowledge are much higher than eyesight, Yu Yao knows about Xu Taiyan.

During the period of the Republic of China, there was a saying that "three words of cultural relics are half of the country", which refers to the influence in the circle of cultural relics and antiques.

The so-called "Sanyan" refers to people whose three surnames all have words next to them.

Xu Taiyan, Xie Liuzhai, Tan Rusu.

However, these three people are not all the way.

Xu Taiyan is the most legendary, and he is a genius in the appraisal of cultural relics and antiques.He once opened a shop in Liulichang, and he was quite popular in the industry at that time. He had the nickname of "Xu Yiyan", regardless of whether it is true or not, one glance is qualitative.But his background is very mysterious, and it is said that he has a lot of contacts, but he never does anything for the government.

Xie Liuzhai is an antique dealer who specializes in "exporting" cultural relics. He opened an antique company in Shanghai, and also has companies in the West. Nowadays, many good things that are grandly placed in foreign exhibition halls are made by him.

Tan Rusu was at the helm of the largest antique counterfeiting group at that time. He mainly focused on ancient paintings, and also dabbled in bronzes and porcelains.To put it bluntly, there may be some collectors or even museums that still have things made by the Tan Group.

"My surname is Xu."

This voice resounded in Yu Yao's mind again.

In Yu Yao's heart, however, he seemed to feel a little more at ease.

Because, if it is really Xu Taiyan, this "ghost" is extraordinary, a great master of a generation!It shouldn't be difficult for such a small person like yourself, right?

While thinking about it, Yu Yao finished reading the news with less than [-] words.

Dare to love the news during the Republic of China to play headline party, writing that Xu Taiyan passed away, but the cause of death was unknown, is this weird?Yu Yao also wanted to see what the national treasure-level cultural relics were, but in the end he only guessed that Xu Taiyan should have national treasure-level cultural relics in his possession.However, I doubted the Wa people.At that time, the Japanese had already invaded China, and at the same time searched for antiques and cultural relics wantonly.

Not many were useful, but one of them caught Yu Yao's attention.

That is, Xu Taiyan had a shop in Liulichang back then, also called "Geguzhai"!
This seems to explain why he "appeared" here?

Could it be that his old man is short of money "down there"?

Yu Yao recalled the whole process again, he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions; as for himself, he burned the paper money for him again, a total of five knives, this should be placed "underneath", enough to buy a garden villa, right?
If so, shouldn't there be any more trouble?

If the golden light in Qian's eyes is not a hallucination, could it be a kind of "feedback" indicating receipt of money?
After thinking about it wildly, Yu Yao found out that grimace to spend money again.

Don't dare to sell this thing!
Finding a red lanyard from the shop, Yu Yao carefully spent money to wear this grimace and tied it up, then opened the small safe in the corner of the counter.

There was nothing in the small safe, except for a few thousand yuan in cash, and a small brocade box.

Yu Yao put the grimace wearing the red string into the money carefully, bowed his hands and bowed, "Master Xu, the name of the store is a coincidence, I don't intend to offend you. I also burned this paper money, enough for you to spend below. You Look, don't you need to come up? The main reason is that you will be tired..."

After finishing speaking, Yu Yao patted his heart, feeling a little relieved.

After looking at the brocade box in the safe, Yu Yao couldn't help but took it out again.

In this brocade box is a white jade finger ring that he picked up two days ago. Whether this year can have a good year depends on it!

After opening the brocade box, Yu Yao couldn't help picking up the wrench again.

The patina is smooth, the hand feels first-class, and the door is cooked well.On the facade of the finger, there are fretwork engraved on the top and bottom, and a Tang poem is engraved in the middle: the sand in the desert is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan is like a hook.He Dangjin connects the brain, and walks quickly to step on the clear autumn.

According to Yu Yao's previous judgment, this is an old jade piece from Su Gong in the Qianlong Dynasty. Although it is not comparable to the official work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is still considered a fine product.

But at this moment, Yu Yao's brow suddenly became a pimple.

　Thank you old and new friends for your support.
