Play treasure master

Chapter 589 A small rest, jade pair

"Well. In my opinion, there is a priority in everything, and the ghost eye door's secret treasure should be the first; after it's done, it's not too late to do this." Yu Yao said.

"The secret treasure of the Ghost Eye Gate is of course the most important thing. However, there are so few clues now, and I have found nothing in Wuliang Mountain; I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain anything in a short time." Xiao Ying frowned slightly, "But, Wang Mang's golden treasure , although there are clues and scope, it may not be easier than the ghost eye door secret treasure!"

Yu Yao suddenly tapped his forehead, "I just remembered. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm about Wang Mang's treasures. Even Su Dongpo once wrote that after Wang Mang's defeat, a large number of golden treasures 'returned to the mountains'."

Without waiting for Xiao Ying to speak, Yu Yao said again, "For thousands of years, countless people have searched for Wang Mang's treasure, but none of them succeeded. This matter is not only difficult, but also involves too much, so let's settle down."

"Well. I think, find a chance, the seven people should meet again, just to collect clues about the secret treasure." Xiao Ying replied.

"Yes. Then go back separately first?"

"You go back first, I'll go to Taibai Mountain to have a look."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao said, "Good guy, you still can't hold back!"

"It's okay to just take a look, anyway, it's been out for so long, it's not bad for three or two days."

"That's all! I'll go with you!" Yu Yao lit another cigarette.

Xiao Ying smiled, "That's fine. Actually, I didn't have much hope. This Taibai Mountain has been closely related to Taoism since ancient times; there is a mountain called Laojunling. Finding the specific location is enough to explain the mystery and complexity of discovering the treasure."

"Is it possible that he found the wrong place? It's not actually in Taibai Mountain?"

"No, he has found and cracked the other four auxiliary formations, so it's not difficult to determine the center position. At most, he won't run out of a hundred miles around Taibai Mountain."

"Okay, let's rest early today and leave tomorrow morning."

The next day, the two flew to Chang'an first, and found a well-known local mutton bun shop for lunch together.

During the meal, Xiao Ying proposed whether to go directly to Baomei County where Taibai Mountain is located after dinner, and stay in Baomei County for one night; or to stay in Chang'an for one night, and leave early tomorrow morning to go straight to Baomei County.

After discussing, the two decided to stay in Chang'an for one night.Baomei County is about 150 kilometers away from Chang'an. If you charter a car tomorrow morning, you should be able to reach the foot of Taibai Mountain in more than two hours.

"Do you still want to visit the antique market in Chang'an?" Xiao Ying asked.

"It's not a weekend today, and there are few people in the antique market in the afternoon, so you can go shopping or not."

That's what I said, but Yu Yao and Xiao Ying still went in the afternoon.There are several antique markets in Chang'an, the more famous ones are Datang Xishi Antique City and Zhuque Road Antique City, but neither Yu Yao nor Xiao Ying went there.Because there are only street stalls in these two places on weekends, most of them are shops, and it is not a weekend, and some shops are not open.

They went to the Eight Immortals Temple antique market, which was mainly suggested by Xiao Ying.

The place name Baxian Temple is naturally related to the Eight Immortals. It was originally a Taoist temple, and a folk antique market has been formed in the surrounding area for a long time.The market is quite small, the main body is a two-story building, and there are not many stores. In the corridor downstairs, you can set up street stalls.The corridor is better than the open air, not on weekends, and sometimes there are stalls.

When they arrived in the afternoon, it was almost three o'clock. The market was not crowded, but there were few people.There were only a few stalls left in the corridor, and Yu Yao scanned around, but found nothing good at all.

However, the shops here are not the same as those in the large antique city. Many shops are small, but they have miscellaneous things. They are not the kind of relatively specialized shops.

Outside the door of a shop, Xiao Ying caught sight of a hanging screen hanging on the wall opposite the door, and said involuntarily, "The front wall of my studio really needs something earthy, and the one hanging on it now is a marble hanging screen." , but it’s not very pretty, go in and have a look at this, give me your palm.”

As soon as Yu Yao heard it, he followed in.

This pair of hanging screens is two pieces of jade pair wooden hanging screens inlaid with jade.

The frame and bottom plate of mahogany are inlaid with the running script of Hetian sapphire.

"Is this Jin Shengtan's pair?" Xiao Ying asked while watching.

The content of this couplet is:

wear away the pride but bow

washing away ambition in half

There is no signature, but seven characters are inlaid with sapphire in a pair of mahogany frames.

"Yes." Yu Yao nodded.Needless to say Jin Shengtan's name, and the authentic calligraphy of this couplet has also been handed down, and it is in the museum.

"Well written and insightful!" Xiao Ying sighed.

yes.If you are obedient, how can you be proud?Unexamined, where does the ambition come from?

The shop owner is a man in his 40s, with small eyes and a big nose, except for Yu Yao and Xiao Ying who came in to say hello, he has not said a word, standing beside them and waiting with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until Xiao Ying asked how to sell it that the shop owner said, "You two have good eyesight, this mahogany and sapphire are both of high quality, and the carving and inlay are perfect for each other; to tell you the truth, there have been several calls in front of you to inquire about the price. Damn, I'm not even willing to sell it."

There is no one who runs an antique shop who can't speak, this statement is unbelievable, it is nothing more than a foreshadowing.

Yu Yao smiled and said, "The age is so young, it's basically the price of handicrafts."

This pair of jade hanging screens should be from the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

"I can't say that, 100 years is not a small year now. In the current market, there are more than 100 days of things!" The boss still had a smile on his face, "Let's do it! You two have a look. They are all masters, just look at it and give it a bite!"

Xiao Ying couldn't help but look at Yu Yao and nodded.This means that I can buy it, and I will leave it to you to negotiate the price.

"I'll tell you the real price, 8000 yuan, so don't pretend, okay?" Yu Yao looked at the shop owner.

"Hey, to be honest, this is not even the purchase price! There are mahogany and hot fields in this road. Where are the materials and money for it? Whoever gets it, the price can't be lowered. Give it a little more."

"You say it."

The shop owner thought for a while, "Let's do it, [-], just make friends! I'm honest enough."

In fact, the owner of the store did not come cheap for this item, he bought it from an old house; coincidentally, it was the same price as Yu Yao's price, and it cost 8000 yuan.Don't say eight thousand, even if ten thousand is up for grabs, he won't come out.

Yu Yao broke up with him again.In the end, the shop owner froze at [-], not even [-].

Xiao Ying remained calm and just watched.

At this time, Yu Yao raised his hand and waved lightly, "Let go first, since it's here, let's look at other things."

This is also a bargaining technique in the antique industry, if it is too stiff, it will easily cause trouble.

Yu Yao was just an excuse, so he looked at it casually.As a result, just looking around casually, I found a piece of porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty on the shelf.

　Today I don’t know if there is a problem with the background or my computer. I couldn’t post it several times, so I’m sorry for the delay.
