As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

"Okay, definitely."

Gu Zhou nodded, but he will definitely not do this business again in a short time, it is too high-profile.

"Uncle Zhao, can I ask a question?" Gu Zhou pulled Zhao Reforming aside.

"Just ask."

"It's been a long time. Are things made in ancient times necessarily antiques? There must have been counterfeiters in ancient times. So, are ancient imitations considered antiques?"¨?"

"what do you mean?"

"For example, there is an antique from the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, about 400 years ago, but now there is a high imitation antique from the Zhenguan period, which is no different from the antique from the Zhenguan period in all aspects, except that the time is 100 years less. About, only 300 years, what is the value of this high-end antique?"

What Gu Zhou said was rather convoluted, but Zhao Reform understood it all at once, nodded slightly and said:

"I understand what you mean. For example, there was a porcelain in the period of Li Shimin in Zhenguan, but someone imitated this porcelain in the period of Li Longji in Kaiyuan 100 years later. Years later, I learned that it was a high imitation. Is this high imitation porcelain an antique?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

The reason why Gu Zhou didn't pay attention to antiques is that there was a 100-year failure to match the number, which can be identified with the naked eye.

Zhao Reform smiled: "It is still considered an antique, and an ancient imitation is also an antique in modern times, called an old imitation."

"The ancients also thought about this problem. The ancients would also summarize the historical objects they saw at that time, not only writing them into books, but also making them out. For example, there are now imitations of objects from previous dynasties, from the perspective of material design and craftsmanship."

"Just like the cultural and creative products we are making now, after hundreds of years people see them, they will say that our generation is nostalgic and imitating the past."

"In Western civilization, re-examining the architectural elements and styles of ancient Rome and ancient Greece to achieve a breakthrough in architectural design at that time is called the Renaissance."

Zhao Reform's knowledge in this area is very profound, easy to understand, and the explanation is simple and easy to understand: "Of course, whether the imitation is precious or not depends on the level and purpose of the ancient imitator's imitation. If it is an imitation made by an ordinary craftsman, it is similar to an ancient imitation. , its purpose was to deceive the collectors at that time, so the value of such artifacts will not be very high.”

"If it is an official/court imitation, its purpose is to enjoy and reflect the ruler's aesthetic taste, and the imitation is well-crafted, and its value is high. For example, the Qianlong court's one-to-one imitation of Hanbo Mountain Furnace must be more expensive than the same model It’s expensive to go to Mount Daibo.”

"If there is an element of artistic re-creation, such as Yongzheng's pink-celadon glazed Shuanglong Zun imitating Tang Shuanglong Zun, the price is far more expensive than the original Tang Dynasty. There are quite a few in existence.”

"Another example is the calligraphy world. Wang Xizhi's original Lanting Preface has long been lost, and the dozens of copies that have been handed down to this day are all invaluable."

"During the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of "imitation" works appeared, such as: the Song Dynasty imitated the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

Although it is a copy, the level of painting is very high, and it is also a long time ago, so it has been handed down to this day as a precious antique. "

Gu Zhou's heart was beating violently. He originally thought that with a time gap of more than 100 years, it would be impossible to be an antique.

After listening to Zhao Reform's explanation, he realized that if high-quality imitation antiques are old enough, rare enough, and high-tech enough, their value may not be much less than the genuine ones, and may even be more expensive.

You must know that decades of war have destroyed countless antique toys, making countless antiques lost and disappeared in the long river of history.

If these antique toys reappear, they will be no different from the genuine ones, but there is a time difference of more than 100 years. Even if they are identified as high imitations, there may be many people who want to collect them.

"`ˇLooks like even the old man can do it."

Gu Zhou thought.

Zhao Reform observed Gu Zhou's expression, and seemed to have noticed something: "Why, you have a channel to get such high-quality imitation cultural relics? There are many people who are willing to collect such high-quality antique cultural relics. The original copy of Xizhi's Lanting Preface, Gu Kaizhi (Li Ma's) copied Luoshen Fu pictures, although they are all copies, if they can appear on the market, people like Dongfangquan and me will definitely be flocking to the altar."

"There are channels, but we need to make sure." Gu Zhou said truthfully.

Zhao Reform looked around, as if he was a thief: "If you got something good, tell me, don't notify them yet."

Gu Zhou couldn't laugh or cry: "Uncle Zhao, you are going to eat alone."

"What words! What words are these!"

Zhao Reform opened his eyes wide, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead burst out. He argued, "Why do you defile people's innocence out of thin air? Can collectors be called eating alone?"

The Yangcheng party, except for some accidents in the middle, everything is expected, the income is more than 3 million, and there are a few more contacts. If there are good things in the future, even if they don't buy them, the people they know may not buy them.

Chapter 77 - Let the Bullets Fly - Zhang Muzhi

Had a family banquet in Zhou Yuan's manor, and then experienced one-stop service with Zhou Baicheng. Of course, Gu Zhou was the one who treated the guests.

Watching Gu Zhou earn hundreds of millions, it was impossible for Zhou Baicheng to treat guests honestly, not to mention the coercive conditions in the car.

Although Zhou Yuan is worth tens of billions, judging from his vigorous appearance, Zhou Baicheng will not have the opportunity to control this large family property in 20 years. A few hundred million is still a big amount for Zhou Baicheng.

After staying in Yangcheng for a day and a half, Gu Zhou returned to Nancheng.

…………

US-Mexico border.

Thousands of miles of wilderness, under the vast sky is a large piece of low vegetation, and above this land, there are often dozens of miles of desolation.

At this time, a chasing battle of planes chasing people is unfolding in the wilderness.

Boom boom boom!

From time to time, shells fell, sand and stones flew, and flames scattered.

More than a dozen fighter jets were flying in the air, and above the wilderness, a man was running wildly. With only his feet, the fighter jets couldn't catch up to him in a short time.

He was [-] meters away in an instant, trailing tens of meters of smoke and dust behind him, the dust was billowing, looking like a sandstone dragon from above.

Suddenly, the man's hair stood on end, as if he was being watched by a beast king, he kicked his feet suddenly, turned suddenly, and continued to run wildly in a '540' shape.

Rumble!

A cannonball exploded tens of meters behind him, blasting a crater ten meters in radius and several meters deep.

This is a man in his 30s, his whole body is covered with wounds, bullets remain on the surface of his body, his flesh wriggles constantly, forcing the bullets out, and there is a deep wound on his chest, A beating heart is faintly visible.

His heart was beating fast, and the dozen or so unknown flying monsters brought him a great sense of danger. The dozen or so flying monsters were chasing after him, making him feel like he was in the crater of a volcano, and he might be caught by a monstrous monster at any time. The magma swallowed, leaving no bones.

"Fuck you! What the hell is this place!"

Qiu Shentong was furious in his heart, with a hideous expression, wounds all over his body, excruciating pain, and running wildly all the time, making his breath smell like blood, which made him want to go crazy.

He stole the Sun Shooting Bow from Xuankong Temple, and was being hunted down by the bald donkeys of Xuankong Temple, but those bald donkeys suddenly disappeared. Before he was lucky, a group of inexplicable people began to round up and hunt him down.

Those who surrounded him were too weak, as weak as ants, but these ants had powerful hidden weapons and weapons, and they could also ride flying monsters.

Within two days, they hunted him down for thousands of miles and pursued him relentlessly, leaving him without a single moment of rest.

"Fuck you! What the hell is this place? People can be weak, but they have such a powerful weapon in their hands."

"Let me recover, I will slaughter you all!"

Rumble!

Shells wash the ground.

The bullets are like a torrent.

And their goal is just one person.

Under this kind of offensive, not to mention one invincible, even ten invincibles would all die.

…………

"David, I always feel like I'm dreaming."

"James, it's not just you, I also feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought that there are such terrifying human beings in the world."

The pilots on the fighter jets were communicating, their voices were full of surprise and shock. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions, they all knew that each other's faces were full of disbelief.

"Our two-day experience is enough to make a Hollywood blockbuster."

"Some people suspect that this terrifying human is not from our world, do you believe it?"

"Is there really another world? Actually, I believe it, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there are people in this world who are so terrifying."

James was driving a fighter jet and staring at the running figure below. He swore that he had only seen such terrifying humans in movies in his life.

With a leap of tens of meters, it can climb hundreds of meters high in a few seconds (agfc). The speed of 200 meters per second is not as fast as a fighter jet, but its flexibility is ten times higher than that of combat.

Relying on the speed of more than 200 meters per second and their extremely high flexibility, they dispatched fighter jets in time. From the first time they chased to the US-Mexico border, the distance of thousands of miles was nothing to him.

You know, this person was baptized with overwhelming artillery fire along the way.

And this person is not only running away, but also fighting back.

Although he couldn't reach the fighter jets, he had a powerful bow, which was so powerful that a record nine planes were shot down by him at the same time.

So although they chased and killed them all the way, their nerves were always tense, for fear that he would suddenly draw a bow and shoot an arrow, which would mean that at least one plane would be shot down.

And hundreds of soldiers died in his hands, and so many people died in one battlefield in the United States.

"Damn! Fortunately, the president changed his decision to capture him alive. I can't even imagine how such a terrifying person can be captured alive. It's much easier to kill him."

James exhaled.

Fortunately, this thousands-of-mile chase is coming to an end, and it can be inferred from various intelligence sources that this person's physical fitness is rapidly declining due to serious injuries.

"I'm almost at my limit."

Qiu Shentong's eyes were fierce, and he wanted to fight them desperately, but he knew that he would die if he fought hard.

"It's the sea! Hahahaha! We're saved!"

A few seconds later, the endless Pacific Ocean appeared in front of him, and Qiu was overjoyed by his supernatural powers, and dived into the sea.

And a group of pilots on the fighter jets were incompetent and furious.

………………

Back in Nancheng, I made a phone call with Gu's mother, and Gu Zhou returned to the plane of the Republic of China.

As soon as he came back, Gu Tian came to report a situation: "A man came back from outside. He was originally from Qingshan Town, but his surname was not Gu. He was the new army commander under Yuan Shikai's command. He wanted to retire because he didn't like Yuan Shikai's actions. Go to Yunnan Lecture Hall."

"This time he came back to visit his family. After seeing our regiment training, he changed his mind and wanted to join the regiment training. Gu Zhou, his military quality is very good, I suggest keeping him."

Gu Zhou nodded: "What's his name?"

"Zhang Muzhi!"

Gu Zhou was slightly surprised: "Zhang Muzhi?"

"You know him?"

"Take it to see him."

Lecture Hall, Cai E, Goose City, Master Huang, Zhang Muzhi.

The plot of Let the Bullets Fly took place ten years later. I didn't expect the two main characters to appear now.

In the original plot, Zhang Muzhi was a fierce general in Cai E's army. After Cai E's death, the Beiyang War was chaotic and turned into a bandit, becoming a green forest bandit across the mountains and fields.

As for Cai E, he will concurrently serve as the instructor of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall in two years, and Zhang Muzhi wants to go to the Lecture Hall, which is probably how he became a fierce general under his command.

Chapter 78

On the shooting range, Gu Zhou saw Zhang Muzhi, with rough facial features and an extremely heavy body, with a pistol pinned to his waist, his eyes seemed lazy, but in fact he was always vigilant.

Seeing Gu Tian following a person, his eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists from a distance: "This must be Gu Zhou and Gu Tuanzong, and Zhang Muzhi has met the Tuanzong."

"You are Zhang Muzhi? I'm curious why you changed your mind. With your military quality, you have a better future in the martial arts hall."

Gu Zhou squinted his eyes slightly, sizing up this quack-like man.

"Nothing but gratitude - that's all."

Zhang Muzhi looked sincere, and his voice was heavy and resonant. When meeting him for the first time, Gu Zhou felt an outstanding personality charm from him. He is indeed a man who can overthrow Master Huang.

"Where does the gratitude come from?"

"My father died early, and there is only an old mother and a grandmother in the family. Five years ago, he wanted to serve the country, so he went to join the army and sent back some salary every month. But I know that the salary I send back is only enough for my mother. My grandmother barely eats and lives. It’s not good. But loyalty and filial piety are difficult, and I only came back twice in the middle.”

"Later, I felt more and more that this country was not the country I wanted to serve, so I resolutely came back. I planned to visit my mother and grandma and then go to Yunnan."

"But when I came back, I found that my mother was working in your house, and her salary was unprecedented. Grandma could receive one hundred catties of rice and ten catties of meat every month. Her life was more than ten times better than I imagined."

"You may not know me, Zhang Muzhi, and I didn't mean to be kind to my mother and grandma, but I have kindness to them. I, Zhang Muzhi, have never read any books. I am a rough person. I will repay my kindness, and there is nothing to repay. , only this life, I'm afraid the boss will not want it."

I have admired Zhang Muzhi for a long time, so how could I not know about it.

Gu Zhou smiled secretly in his heart, and readily agreed: "In that case, you can follow me from now on."

"Yes!"

Zhang Muzhi made a solemn military salute.

"Do it well, I won't treat you badly."
