I changed the world

Fatty immediately transferred 21 yuan to Zhang Jing through his mobile phone, and said generously that he would also settle the processing fee of 50 yuan for rough stone peeling.

Now that the transaction was completed and the excitement was over, the fat man said that there was no need to cut the remaining parts. He planned to take them back and study them carefully before making a decision, whether to cut them into several seals or simply make a whole ornament.

There is also a saying here that as far as seal stones are concerned, cutting them into seals is always the highest-priced option for the same volume.Because relatively speaking, cutting is the most material-consuming processing method.However, for materials of the same quality, the larger they are, the more scarce they are, and the price per gram will be relatively more expensive than those of smaller volumes.Therefore, from this perspective, overall processing is also a good choice.

Of course, the specific balance has nothing to do with Zhang Jing. After the transaction was completed, he said goodbye and left.Zhang Jing was quite happy to have made a fortune for nothing. More importantly, it proved that his previous idea was correct and that his secret technique "Refining Pupils with True Fire" could indeed be used to make money.

Maybe it was his luck today. After making some money, Zhang Jing found another cyan jade plaque that looked familiar to him in an antique shop on the third floor of Tongbao City.He had seen similar shaped jade tablets many times, so when he saw them, he used his secret skills to take a closer look. In his secret skills, the entire body of the jade tablets exuded a faint white light.

It seemed that it was really a treasure, and Zhang Jing was a little excited.Although according to his experience, such a light-colored Dharma treasure should not contain relatively important information, but Zhang Jing felt that he had made a profit by being able to find it without making a wish.

After some haggling with the shop owner, Zhang Jing bought the jade plaque for 1200 yuan. He put it into his shoulder bag and planned to read the information inside when he went back.

This harvest made Zhang Jing feel very good. In addition, it also made him more sure that there must be a lot of good things scattered in the antique and collectible markets across the country... From this, it can also be extended that in Dazhao and even In foreign folk collection circles, there must still be many Dharma collections and spiritual treasures, and these items are collected by their owners as ordinary antiques.

And these are all things you can get without using wish points...

Zhang Jing continued to wander around Tongbao City while thinking about it. Whenever he saw an uncertain item, he would use secret techniques to check it. Unfortunately, after that, he never found anything worth noting.

After visiting all four floors of Tongbao City, Zhang Jing felt a rare sense of fatigue. This feeling had not appeared for a long time since he became a monk.Zhang Jing guessed that this may be caused by his repeated use of the secret technique of "Refining Pupils with True Fire" and excessive consumption.

Fortunately, he had finished reading everything he should see. Zhang Jing rubbed his slightly swollen temples and walked downstairs along the escalator.Since today is Saturday, this time period is the time when Tongbao City has a large flow of people. There are many people coming and going and stopping in front of various shops and windows.

Arriving on the first floor, Zhang Jing put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door. However, at this moment, he felt an uncomfortable feeling coming from the side. This was a feeling that he instinctively felt. The feeling of disgust was not very strong, but Zhang Jing still turned his head away immediately.

Almost instantly he located the source of his discomfort, which was a middle-aged woman wearing ordinary clothes, a common long-sleeved sweater, and a bun on her head. She was walking forward while looking left and right. He seemed to be looking at the decorations in the shop window, and he looked no different from ordinary citizens on the street.

Zhang Jing frowned. Although he didn't see anything unusual about this woman, he believed that his feeling was not groundless.The next moment, Zhang Jin's eyes lit up with golden light. Under the sight of the True Fire Eyes, changes suddenly appeared. He saw that the woman was surrounded by wisps of red and black aura. When he focused on this aura, Sometimes, you can even hear faint cries.

Is this... resentment?Although Zhang Jin didn't actually know what this was, he instinctively felt this way.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Out of curiosity, Zhang Jing decided to follow up and take a look.

The hand in his pocket quietly made a seal, and Zhang Jin disappeared from the sight of ordinary people.After that, he fell a few steps behind and followed directly behind the middle-aged woman.

Following this middle-aged woman all the way, Zhang Jin gradually felt something was wrong. For example, this middle-aged woman often stopped and pretended to look at the shop windows, but in fact, her eyes were not on those windows. Instead, he was obviously checking the surrounding situation.

There is indeed something wrong with this woman... Zhang Jin thought to himself.

The outermost part of the first floor of Tongbao City is a circle of street-facing shops. Since Tongbao City is built on a T-shaped corner, there are two sides of the street-facing shops directly adjacent to the road.

The woman left Tongbao City through the side door, but did not leave. She walked slowly along the shops facing the street, carefully observing her surroundings as she walked.

About 5 minutes later, she quickly looked around and then stopped. She took out her mobile phone and pretended to answer the call. Zhang Jing could say with certainty that her mobile phone had not been used before. There is a ringtone.

While answering the phone, she stared at a little boy not far away who was playing in front of a store. This little boy was about 4 years old and was playing with a car in front of a store. Two cars were placed on the ground. Then he grabbed one of them and pushed it hard to drive it forward. Then he grabbed the other one and tried to drive it farther than the previous one.

Unconsciously, the little boy began to move away from the store. He didn't realize there was any problem and was still playing with the car happily.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman who had been talking on the phone looked around again. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she walked up quickly, walked to the little boy, squatted down, With a smile, he took out a beautiful car and handed it over.

Chapter 63 Catching the crutches

The little boy's attention was immediately attracted. A pair of ignorant eyes revealed undisguised curiosity and desire. The middle-aged woman said something to the little boy, and then pointed not far away. Seeing that the little boy hesitated for a moment, he nodded and followed the middle-aged woman further away.

At this moment, Zhang Jing discovered that a van that had been leaning on the roadside suddenly started, drove towards the middle-aged woman, and stopped on the roadside not far from them.

The middle-aged woman reached out and grabbed the child's hand, restraining him and walking straight towards the van. The door of the van had been opened, and Zhang Jing could see that in addition to the driver, there was a bald man sitting in the back seat of the van.

At this time, Zhang Jing didn't know what these people did. It was obvious that this was a business with a long history - human traffickers.

The middle-aged woman led the little boy to the van and reached out to pick him up and stuff him into the van. At this time, the little boy seemed to finally realize that something was wrong and began to struggle violently. However, the man in the back seat of the van The bald man also came to help at this time, took out a white towel and covered the boy's mouth and nose...

At this moment, a strong arm stretched out from the side, grabbed the middle-aged woman's left arm, and pulled her back, causing her to lose her balance and fall backwards.The little boy was also hugged over.

The person who took action was Zhang Jing. Now that he was sure of the other party's intention, he couldn't just watch the child being taken away. Especially considering the resentment on this woman, it must not be the first time he had taken action. Someone's life is at stake.

In his previous life, Zhang Jing was also the father of a child, so he always hated inhuman creatures like human traffickers.

The woman was thrown to the ground heavily, her forehead hit the masonry pavement, and blood immediately flowed out.But this man was also aggressive. He struggled to get up and reached out to hug Zhang Jing.

When the bald man in the van saw someone obstructing him, his eyes flashed fiercely, he took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Zhang Jing.

Obviously, this was not the first time that this trafficker was thwarted, and his reaction was skillful and accurate. If he were an ordinary person, if he was caught off guard, he would be stabbed if he couldn't break away.

In Dazhao, there have been tragic incidents where children from noble families were abducted and found begging on the streets with their hands and feet broken.Therefore, under great pressure from public opinion, human trafficking was classified as a felony, punishable by up to the death penalty. This also led to human traffickers fighting desperately once they were discovered, and their methods became increasingly cruel.

Unfortunately, they met Zhang Jing. Before the woman could hold her tightly, Zhang Jing's calf swung very quickly, and a hook kick hit her chest and abdomen, sending the woman flying backwards. He bumped into the flower bed nearby, holding his belly and arching into a shrimp shape.

And the arm that was holding the dagger and stabbing it in the chest had already been grabbed by the wrist before it reached Zhang Jing. After that, the bald man felt a strong force coming, and he was dragged out of the carriage, and then He was pushed to the ground.

Zhang Jing put his foot on the bald man's back, clasped the wrist holding the dagger with his right hand and twisted it. He heard a toothache-inducing sound of bones breaking, and the man at his feet let out a shrill wail. The entire arm was abnormally twisted 180 degrees...

I was disgusted by these people's mischief, so Zhang Jing did some tricks. Even if this arm heals in the future, the muscles and bones will not be as good as normal.

Perhaps realizing that the situation was not good, the driver of the van did not get out of the car and stepped on the accelerator. He opened the door and sped forward without caring about his two accomplices.

Zhang Jing glanced at the vehicle that was leaving quickly and did not pursue it. After all, he did not want to expose the fact that he had supernormal strength, so he would only control the exposed strength within the range of a "martial arts master".

At this time, passers-by were already crowding around the street to watch the excitement. They didn’t know what was going on and stood far away without daring to get close.Zhang Jing then shouted to passers-by: "These people are human traffickers and have been caught by me. Is anyone here to help?"

Hearing that he was a human trafficker and had been caught, the passers-by immediately became commotion. Soon a middle-aged man came up to help control the middle-aged woman who was still nesting on the ground, while another girl was on the ground. Dial the phone to call the police.

"Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu! Where are you?!" At this moment, an anxious shout came from not far away.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." The little boy who had just been rescued by Zhang Jing and was standing on the roadside with a confused look on his face, cried out as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then cried towards the voice. The direction trotted all the way over.

Then I saw an old man who looked to be six or seventy years old and hurried over after hearing the sound. The old man had silver hair, but he was dressed meticulously and looked quite decent. When he saw the little boy, he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and hugged him. little boy.

The little boy sobbed and said something to the old man. Then the old man's expression changed and he led his grandson and walked quickly towards Zhang Jing's location.

When Zhang Jing saw the old man walking up to him, he bowed his hands to him, then pointed at the two traffickers on the ground and recounted the incident again.At this time, more and more people were gathering around, and several passers-by who had arrived early came up to describe the scene.

"You old gentleman, you really need to thank this young man properly. Your grandson almost got carried into a van and abducted!" An old woman dragging a trolley for grocery shopping frowned and looked at it. He glanced at the old man and said: "You are really too careless. Don't worry about such a young child going out to play alone..."

"It's really careless. I let him play at the door, and I was watching. But I just greeted the customers, and no one paid attention, and something almost happened..." The old man was also a little scared, and as he spoke, he said solemnly to Zhang Jing He bowed and said, "I also want to thank this benefactor for saving my grandson."

"With a little effort, you can't just watch a child being abducted." Zhang Jing also returned the gesture.

"Sigh... I only have this grandson. If I really lose it, I don't dare to think about it..." As he said that, the old man saluted the passers-by who were helping him: "Thank you all, thank you so much..." Everyone also returned the gift one after another. .

At this time, a siren sounded in the distance, and a police car marked with the word "Patrol Police" quickly drove up to everyone and stopped.

"Who called the police just now?" Two policemen got out of the car one after another and walked to the crowd and asked.

"I called the police." The girl who called the police on her mobile phone hurriedly walked out, pointed at the trafficker on the ground and told the two police officers what had just happened.The police went to see the two traffickers on the ground. At this time, the two people were much more embarrassed than when Zhang Jing had just knocked them down. During this period, passers-by heard that they were traffickers and stepped forward to say "Justice for passers-by". ”, so there were a lot of footprints on his face and body, and his hair was disheveled.

Chapter 64 Benefactor

"I'm not a human trafficker, I have good intentions...Look...it seems like this child is not being taken care of, and I want to take him to find his parents..." The middle-aged woman who was curled up on the ground struggled to get up and defend herself. He said, but his speech was a little blurry, and it looked like he had been kicked in the face.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of accusations all around, and some angry passers-by were even ready to surround him and beat him up...

What is intriguing is that the police on the side did not stop her. They watched her being kicked severely and then slowly walked forward to separate the crowd.

"Let's handcuff these two people first and take them to the station. Don't worry, everyone, as long as there is a problem, we will not let it go lightly." Listening to the chatter of passers-by, the two policemen were also serious. He cupped his hands at passers-by, and then a policeman knelt down, took out handcuffs and handcuffed the middle-aged woman. He ignored her explanation, took her to the police car, and handcuffed her directly in the back seat of the police car.

Another policeman also took out handcuffs and cuffed the other bald man who was lying on the ground with his twisted hands behind his back.

"Ouch... Ouch, be gentle, sir, please be gentle..." The bald man's right hand was obviously broken, twisted abnormally, and a little swollen, but the policeman didn't show any sympathy and raised his hand. Slap him in the face: "MD, what bothers me the most is kidnappers like you..." As he said that, he roughly cuffed his hands together, then dragged him up and stuffed him directly into the police car.

After that, one of the two police officers stayed in the police car and looked at the suspect. The other one, who looked older, walked up to Zhang Jing, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Young man, you were the one who acted bravely just now, right? According to the procedure, I I also want to ask you what happened, is it convenient for you?"

"Of course it's convenient," Zhang Jing said with a smile. He first took out his ID card and asked the police to verify it, and then described the cause and effect in a clear and logical manner.Of course, he did not mention that he followed the middle-aged woman because of his secret skills and saw the resentment lingering on her body.I just said that I came to Tongbao City to buy things. When I passed by, I saw this middle-aged woman acting strangely, so I stopped to check and found that she was abducting children, so I rushed to stop her. During the period, the two of them tried to attack me, and even The bald man stabbed the dagger directly into his chest.And he happened to have learned a few martial arts skills, so he beat them like this.

Hearing that a murder weapon was used, the policeman's expression became serious, so the two of them searched the place and soon found a dagger that had fallen on the edge of a flower bed. The policeman then took an evidence bag from the police car. Wearing gloves, he picked it up and put it in the evidence bag.

After questioning Zhang Jing, the police were originally going to question the middle-aged man who came to help first, but found that he had already left.However, some passers-by also saw the scene at that time, and they were able to prove that what Zhang Jing said was true.

"Mr. Zhang is very skilled, amazing, amazing..." As a member of the powerful department, the police naturally knew what it would be like to face two vicious traffickers in that situation, with bare hands, and to subdue them instantly. difficulty.Therefore, I couldn't help but think highly of a "master" like Zhang Jing, and even sounded a lot more polite.

"It's not worth mentioning that it's just a blind practice." Zhang Jing smiled and shook his head.

As the matter was basically over, the spectators gradually dispersed, and the two policemen were also preparing to leave. Before leaving, one of the policemen said to the old man meaningfully:

"Mr. Zheng, you are really lucky this time to meet this Mr. Zhang..."

The old man said yes again and again, and at the same time he took out a few hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into one of the policemen: "Please, sir, please come here just once. It's such a small thing, you two can take it to drink tea..."

The two policemen did not refuse. They took the money and put it directly into their pockets. At the same time, they handed over their hands to the old man and said, "Don't worry, old man. These two traffickers will be greeted well when they enter the police station."

....................................

"My dear friend, please stay!" Seeing that things were over here, Zhang Jing was about to leave and go home when he was stopped by a voice from behind. When he looked back, he saw that it was indeed Mr. Zheng.

"My benefactor really saved my family's life. I can't repay it. Please let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

"The old gentleman is too polite..."

Zhang Jing still wanted to refuse, but Mr. Zheng was quite persistent and pulled him to his store half-asking and half-pulling him.

Mr. Zheng's shop is located at the corner of Tongbao City, so it has two display windows facing the street. The door is designed with Chinese-style cornices, and a plaque "Ji Gu Zhai" hangs under the cornices. The store is very spacious and well decorated. It is elegant and has two floors upstairs and downstairs, and the two floors are connected by stairs.A calligraphy frame hangs on the wall on one side of the shop: The famous mountain is hidden, and the people tell it.

There were many utensils on display in the store. Zhang Jing remembered that he had come in to look at them when he was wandering around before, but he didn't find anything at that time.

"Come, benefactor, sit down, please sit down..."

"Old sir, don't call me that again..." The two of them gave in again, and finally agreed that since the old man's surname was Zheng, his given name was Han, and his given name was Baoping, Zhang Jing would call the old man Uncle Baoping, while the old man would just call him Uncle Baoping. Zhang Jing's pseudonym is Hongjian.

The old gentleman asked Zhang Jing to sit down on the Chinese-style red rosewood sofa in the lobby of the store, while he made tea for Zhang Jing: "I have a private collection of Lapsang Souchong. It's fragrant with cinnamon. Try it."

Zhang Jing picked up the blue and white porcelain cup in front of him and took a sip. He actually didn't know much about tea, but after tasting it carefully, he still felt that the bitterness of this tea was very light, with a hint of sweetness, and the taste was indeed much better than the popular products outside. It happened that I was thirsty even though I didn't drink any water all afternoon, so I drank it up in a few sips.

Seeing that Zhang Jing liked it, the old man was also happy and hurriedly filled up his teacup.

"Qiuqiu, come here." Putting down the tea cup, the old man called to his grandson, who was already carefree and started playing with the car again.

"Kneel down and kowtow to your Uncle Hongjian."

The four-year-old chubby boy was obedient, ran over, knelt down, and then kowtowed to Zhang Jing.

This time, Zhang Jing did not refuse. He sat down and received the child's greeting. Then he picked him up with a smile and said with a smile: "Qiuqiu, please remember next time. When you see a stranger, take you to other places. But you must not go.”

"Yes, Qiuqiu remembers it." The child nodded ignorantly, and then said: "But, that aunt said that she was going to give Qiuqiu a lot of cars, so she can't go either?"

"That aunt is a bad person. She deceived Qiuqiu, and if Qiuqiu followed her, she would snatch away Qiuqiu's car, then lock up Qiuqiu, and never see his parents again." Zhang Jing nodded. road.

"Oh... Then Qiuqiu won't go with the bad guys from now on!" The little boy looked scared, but his innocent words made both of them laugh.

Chapter 65 Relics from the Pottery Era

"Okay, let's go play Qiuqiu." The old gentleman reached out and touched his grandson's head.

The two of them drank tea and chatted, and the old man also told Zhang Jing about his situation.

It turns out that Mr. Zheng Han's family has been dealing in antiques for generations, and this shop was passed down from his father's generation. He is also a well-known figure in Linzhou's antique collecting circle.He has an only son. After his wife passed away two years ago, the old man felt that his health was not as good as before, so he wanted to pass on the business to his son. However, his son was not interested in this. He studied mechanical automation in college, and he and his friends recently started a business together. He set up a factory to produce certain sensors for specific purposes used on spacecrafts. The old man didn't know much about this, so he could only let his son do it.

As for the store, he originally thought about retiring, but he couldn't bear to close the store he had run all his life, so he continued to operate it. Anyway, for him, store management is not too hard, and the customers are mainly accumulated over decades. He is a regular customer, and in his spare time, he helps his son take care of his grandson, which is considered a family happiness.

Whether it was a hobby in his previous life or a special need in this life, Zhang Jing was actually quite interested in antiques and collections. Seeing that the old man was an expert in this field, he asked him for some knowledge on appreciation. The old man also told him everything he knew, and even directly I took a lot of samples from the store to explain, and Zhang Jing often felt enlightened after just a few words. He knew that the old man had nothing to hide.

"Uncle Baoping, please take a look at it for me. I bought this today." With a move in his heart, Zhang Jing took out the jade medal from his backpack.

The old man took the jade plaque, looked at it carefully in front of his eyes, and said after a while: "This thing is good. Judging from the marks of the knife and the patina, it has a large door opening. It is not a new imitation. I saw this type of instrument correctly. If so, it should be something from the Pottery Era. Most of the things from that era are somewhat damaged. It’s rare to find something as intact as this. You just bought it.”

What the old man said is similar to what Zhang Jing himself found from the data before. The pottery era was an era 5000 years ago in this world. According to the current modern data, it should be in the clan commune period, but because of the time, Over time, most of the information that has been passed down to this day is in unreliable forms such as myths and legends. Therefore, the specific conditions of society at that time are still confusing, including whether there was a country, whether cities existed, and whether the races of the time were The most basic issues such as the known human races in modern times and the political system of society at that time are still in the hypothesis stage. Therefore, the history of that era, both in the East and the West, seems to be shrouded in fog.

Seeing that Zhang Jing liked these jade articles, the old man walked into the house again, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and found several jade articles with different styles. The old man put them on the coffee table in front of Zhang Jing and introduced them to Zhang Jing. , these jade articles come from different eras, including ancient jade from the Xia, Liang, and Qi dynasties, with exquisite craftsmanship. Even Zhang Jing, a person who knows little about ancient jade, seems to know that the value must be high.

In terms of pure value, each piece of ancient jade here is much more valuable than Zhang Jing's piece of jade.

What I want to explain here is that antiques are somewhat different from what most people think. That is, the older they are, the more valuable they are. This is like the stones on the ground, each one has a history of hundreds of millions of years, but There is no value at all.The truly valuable things are the crystallization of human civilization in antiques. Therefore, antiques that can represent the achievements of a certain period of civilization will be valuable. This is like the celadon of the Song Dynasty and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty in Zhang Jing's previous life. , ancient seals of famous figures from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and ancient Japanese swords are all one of the pinnacle symbols of the culture of their respective eras, so they are of great value.

"Hongjian, look at these things. Since you like these things, I'll take them out for you to look at. Take whichever one you like. If you like them all, take them all, even if I leave them. Pressed in a box.”

While the old man was going to the toilet and leaving, Zhang Jing used his secret skills to observe the jade articles. Unfortunately, they were just antiques.

However, Zhang Jing was not short of money at this time, especially after finding a way to make money, he was sure to make more money, so his interest in these simple antiques faded a lot.

"Uncle Baoping, I really can't take this," Zhang Jing then waved his hand and said: "It's rare for Qiuqiu to call me uncle. I also like this kid. What's the point of taking such a valuable thing?"

Seeing that the old man wanted to say more, Zhang Jing said: "Well, Uncle Baoping, I am particularly interested in the ceramics era and have been collecting jade tablets, jade guis and crystal pillars of this shape. You have a wide range of paths, so just Please help me keep an eye on some of them. If anyone has such a collection and is ready to sell it, if it's convenient, introduce me to take a look."

Seeing Zhang Jing's resolute attitude, the old man stopped insisting and just sighed: "Hongjian, you have the style of an ancient gentleman!"

It was almost evening at this time, so the old man closed the shop and took Zhang Jing to have a meal at a nearby restaurant he was familiar with. Zhang Jing did not refuse because there were children present and due to the previous incident, both of them were We didn’t drink, but we still ate quite harmoniously. After the meal, we felt like we had been together for a long time.

Before leaving, the old man repeatedly reminded Zhang Jing to walk around more. If you don't understand something about the antiques, or you can't make up your mind, you can ask him or ask him to help you look at them.Zhang Jing knows that in the antique business, it is important to keep one's own unique skills. Mr. Zheng's ability to say this was beyond an ordinary relationship, and he immediately agreed.

..........................................

After hiring an online taxi to go home, Zhang Jing opened the news app on his phone to check today's news while sitting in the back seat of the car.
