Chapter 199: Sending the Bell
The treasure sent by Tang Hu was unveiled, a pitch-black standing table clock.
Half a person's height, narrow figure, solemn appearance, and dark colors made the onlookers silent as soon as they appeared.
"Shen Qiu ......"
Xie Jingwen's face was heavy, and he slowly shook his head at Shen Qiu, signaling him not to easily appreciate this object, each line has its own rules, and the antique shop industry is no exception.
The bell is not judged in the morning, and the clock is not identified in the evening.
It means that in the morning, do not identify the antiques of clocks and watches, and do not identify the things dug up in the tomb at night, because of the special meaning of these objects, so it is very taboo to open the door to do business, and the owners of antique shops know the rules.
Sending the bell in the morning, sending the homonym of the bell to the end, has a double meaning, one is to curse the owner of the store to die, and the other means to curse the store to close as soon as possible, no matter which side is not a good meaning.
Obviously, this was deliberately done by Ye Dashao, deliberately embarrassing Shen Qiu and Xuan Baozhai in front of so many people.
"We can't take this order!"
Xie Jingwen took a step forward and said to Tang Hu and the group: "Don't you understand the rules of the antique business?
"Can't take it? hehe!" Tang Hu grinned: "Open a shop to do business, you can't take the order to open an antique shop, then don't occupy the pit and don't, hurry up and close the door!"
"Yes, yes, yes, close the door! Close the door! Close the door! If you can't take the business, we will help you smash this broken shop!" The younger brothers behind him followed and coaxed, all of them gearing up to make a big fuss.
The voices of the younger brothers were higher and higher, and the atmosphere at the scene once pushed Shen Qiu and Xuan Baozhai to the forefront, seeing that the situation was about to become uncontrollable.
"Wait!"
At the critical moment, Shen Qiu shouted loudly and stopped everyone's ridicule: "Don't make any noise! I Shen Qiu took this list!"
The scene was suddenly booed: "This Shen Qiu is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! He dares to take this kind of list? He is not afraid of bad luck when he takes this kind of order in the morning! Last year, there was a boss who was not afraid of death and took this kind of list, and he hung up in a few months!"
"Does he dare not take it? Who doesn't know what virtue Ye Dashao has? So many people come to block the store is ready to smash the store, Xuan Bao Zhai dares not to take it, Ye Dashao dares to smash the door of the store justifiably!"
Shen Qiu...... I can't take this list...... My father explained it when he was alive......" Xie Jingwen shook his head again and again, his voice short.
Shen Qiu nodded and whispered, "This bell is far from being as simple as you imagined...... To be precise, this table clock is not only an antique, but also a well-designed game, and there is only one way in front of us, and that is to break the game!"
"Bureau, what do you mean by Brother Shen?" where did you see that?" asked Zhu Xiaogang next to him curiously.
"You don't need to know about this kind of harmful thing, in short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Next, I'll teach Ye Dashao a good lesson!" Shen Qiu instructed Xie Jingwen a few words, calmly came to the clock, and confirmed to everyone again: "Everyone! I repeat, I want this bell from Shen Qiu!"
"Okay, good! You said it yourself! We didn't force you!" Tang Hu insisted on Shen Qiu, for fear that Shen Qiu would regret it: "You come up and see what kind of treasure this table clock is?"
Tang Hu deliberately made a gesture of please, motioning for Shen Qiu to get his hands on this special table clock.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Shen Qiu stood next to the black grandfather clock and said: "Let me first popularize the situation of this grandfather clock to everyone, everyone present, it is estimated that there are not many people who have really seen this grandfather clock! This grandfather clock is definitely not ordinary!"
The owner of the antique shop shook his head and said: "I have seen a lot of Western table clocks, most of them are beautifully made, most of them are brass, bronze, or franc plating, like this pure black grandfather clock is the first time I have seen it, although it is also a Western thing, but its black color, curved shape, looks really awkward!
Shen Qiu nodded: "As for me, I've seen this kind of grandfather clock a few times in the past few years, so I'm here to show myself the ins and outs of this kind of grandfather clock! First of all, I want to correct one point, although this grandfather clock is from abroad, it has a special name called Heslang Clock! It was produced in England in the last century, and it was spread in the late Qing Dynasty, probably when Cixi was in power, and it was brought into China by foreign missionaries back then!"
"Then this grandfather clock is too ugly, isn't it? It's still black! It's bad luck when you look at it! Who would pay for such a thing and go back to it!"
Some people in the crowd were extremely puzzled, and Shen Qiu replied: "That's right, the appearance of Hei Silang Bell is indeed very ugly and unlucky! But he is used on a very special occasion!
"Back then, foreigners held funerals in the church, and the foreign priest stood in front of this Heslang bell with a Bible in his hand and recited it, which is the special grandfather clock we saw in front of us! Tang Hu? You said that this treasure was handed down by Ye Dashao's ancestors? Could it be that Ye Dashao's ancestors were the priests of the church?"
Shen Qiu stared at Tang Hu and said, Tang Hu's face changed suddenly: "No, no, no! Shen Qiu? You just look at it with your naked eyes? Don't you check it out, what can you see with your eyes?"
"Don't panic yet...... Listen to me tell you the story of this Hesi Lang Clock again!" Shen Qiu pointed to the black table clock and said, "Now everyone understands! This table clock is a funeral sacrificial item, plus it is a Western thing! So there is no collection value at all, so to speak, even if this thing is thrown on the street, no one will look up!"
"It wasn't until later that someone discovered the special role of the Hesi Lang Bell and set up an evil array! Because this Hei Silang Bell sent away one dead person after another, the resentment on his body was particularly heavy, and some people used their own grievances to design the evil array, and used the particularity of the evil array to do some bad things that lost their conscience!"
"For example, hiding someone's birth date in a certain evil thing, using the evil spirit of the evil thing to gather, so as to form a fierce curse on the owner of this birth date! Once the main owner touches this thing, then this curse will be indirectly formed!" Shen Qiu turned to face Tang Hu: "Tang Hu? Am I right? You have been letting me get started, the purpose is to let me touch this evil thing, if I guess correctly! This grandfather clock hides my Shen Qiu's birth date, right? It's true to curse me first!"
"No, no, no! It's just nonsense!" Tang Hu denied it, and kept shaking his head to deny: "Everyone must not believe what Shen Qiu said! It's just nonsense! Who are we, Ye Dashao! How could we do such a shameless thing! I don't think Shen Qiu can see it! Just make up a story to deceive everyone!"
The sweat on Tang Hu's forehead continued to overflow, he didn't expect Shen Qiu to see the mystery after just one glance, Master Su mentioned that there are very few people who have seen this black table clock in China, could it be said that Shen Qiu is one of these rare people, what a coincidence!
"That's right! Shen Qiu! You come up with evidence! If you don't have evidence, don't just BB! A good antique is stunned by you to be called an evil thing, and if you can't see it, you just say it!"
The younger brothers followed and coaxed, and although the onlookers had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't say that they were ugly.
"You want proof!" Shen Qiu nodded and took out a special object from his pocket, a yellow copper coin pendant: "Since I can say it, there must be enough evidence!"
"After all, this Hesi Lang Zhong is an extremely ordinary magic circle, but if there is a magic weapon on the body, you can break this evil array, it just so happens that I have such a magic weapon on my body, this is an object lent to me by an old acquaintance, the Hongwu Tongbao of Astragalus Jade!
Shen Qiu simply hung the Hongwu Tongbao on the edge of the clock, and the moment the astragalus jade touched the clock, everyone clearly heard a crisp click.
