Big red firecrackers crackled and smoke rose into the sky.

Zhang Kun looked sideways slightly, looked at Yao Zhiping who was in the air beside him, and saw that the last trace of gray gas in Yao Zhiping's body began to slowly overflow, and then disappeared into the sky with the billowing smoke.

Yao Zhiping's last trace of obsession with this world finally dissipated, and the translucent soul body was crystal clear.

As mentioned before, Yao Zhiping has two main obsessions with this world.

First, it is the collection he collected in the collection room on the second basement floor of the courtyard, which he treasured all his life.

This obsession began to slowly dissipate after Zhang Kun personally promised to donate all the collections to the Yenching Museum.

Although Zhang Kun is unreliable, Yao Zhiping still believes in this bit of character. He trusts that his eyes can't be wrong.

And the second point is an apology to Qi Pengfei's family.

However, what happened was irreparable, and he couldn't cure the madness of the third child of the Qi family, and he couldn't make Qi Pengfei stand up again, so he repaid his apology to Qi Xiangyang.

So there was Zhang Kun to accept apprentices on his behalf.

Yao Zhiping took Qi Xiangyang into his disciple, and then through Zhang Kun's relay, he taught everything he had learned, and he also gave Qi Xiangyang a craft to make a living.

But that's not enough.

The master-apprentice relationship is traditionally second only to the father-son relationship.

As the saying goes: the parents who give birth to me, the master who teaches me.

In the tradition, the master-apprentice relationship is second only to father and son, and the master not only has the responsibility of teaching the disciples, but also has the responsibility of finding a way out for the disciples.

Just like in modern times, parents are responsible for buying a house for their son's marriage. Although there is no rational legal provision, it is reasonably recognized.

And after Zhang Kun opened this Tibetan Pavilion for Qi Xiangyang, Yao Zhiping's last obsession in the world disappeared.

With the Tibetan True Pavilion, not only does Qi Xiangyang have a way out, but also means that even if Qi Xiangyang has no more money on the way to antiques in the future, just the goods in the Tibetan True Pavilion are enough for Qi Xiangyang to have no worries for a lifetime.

In this way, Yao Zhiping is worthy of the words master and apprentice.

As for the mantle.

What Yao Zhiping learned is not a unique skill, and he has to find a successor to pass it on.

The study of antique appraisal is the study of thousands of archaeologists in China. The reason why Yao Zhiping can occupy the title of the first person to identify in China is that although his profound archaeological knowledge accounts for a large factor, it is more because of the light of his special eyes.

Otherwise, if you don't say anything else, let's just talk about Wen Zhiming, just say that in the archaeology of bronzes, you will not lose to Yao Zhiping at all, and even, if you don't have those eyes, Wen Zhiming will be even better.

Therefore, it never matters what the mantle is not and what is not.

Without Yao Zhiping in China, there will be Wen Zhiping, Liu Zhiping, and Zhang Zhiping. As long as there is meaning in archaeology, it will not be severed.

At noon, Zhang Kun booked several private rooms in Huizhen Building, feasted guests, ate and drank, and until the evening, Zhang Kun also invited two tables in the courtyard.

Late at night, sending the last Hou Baoguo, Tang Xinhua and others out of the courtyard, Zhang Kun helped Qi Xiangyang, who was already drunk, and arranged for him to go back to his room to sleep.

Today he is the protagonist, so Qi Xiangyang, who was poured by everyone from noon to night, and the amount of alcohol was not good, was already in a daze and unconscious.

After arranging Qi Xiangyang, Zhang Kun was relieved, turned his head to look around, but found that Yao Zhiping was nowhere to be seen.

I remember seeing him at noon, but at night he seemed to be gone.

Already...... Gone?

Zhang Kun thought for a while, then returned to his room, opened the secret door behind the screen, and walked into the collection room below along the secret passage.

In the collection room on the first floor, it was originally full, but at this time it was already empty.

Just as Zhang Kun said, all the things he could move had been placed in the Zangzhen Pavilion at this time, and even if there were things that could not be placed, Zhang Kun had also put them in the vault of the Zangzhen Pavilion.

Zhang Kun didn't leave any of them.

Zhang Kun glanced at it, did not stop, and continued to open the secret door on the second floor.

The metal door slowly opened, and a heavy historical atmosphere came to the face.

Before entering the door, Zhang Kun saw Yao Zhiping floating in the air at a glance.

Sure enough, it was here.

I saw Yao Zhiping floating in the air, silently looking at the treasures in the collection room, Zhang Kun didn't bother, silently found a corner, didn't care whether there was dust on the ground, and sat down.

After greeting the guests for a day, even with his strong physique, he felt a burst of fatigue at this time.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Kun said softly: "Are you leaving?"

Yao Zhiping paused, glanced back at Zhang Kun, and nodded lightly: "Hmm!"

"Oh. Zhang Kun answered, then stopped talking and looked at Yao Zhiping silently.

Yao Zhiping didn't care about Zhang Kun anymore, and silently looked at all the cultural relics in the collection room.

Zhang Kun looked at Yao Zhiping, and slowly his eyelids began to fight. Originally, it was a busy day today, plus Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan coaxed, and poured Zhang Kun two glasses of wine.

I didn't drink much in the past, so the amount of alcohol naturally couldn't be good, and it was a miracle that I was able to hold out until now.

Looking at Yao Zhiping silently, slowly, slowly, Zhang Kun let out a slight snoring.

Yao Zhiping turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kun, looking at Zhang Kun's sleeping appearance, with a smile on his face.

At this time, Yao Zhiping didn't look at those collections anymore, a pair of eyes looked at Zhang Kun, looking at the baby-like smile on Zhang Kun's face when he was asleep, and the corners of Yao Zhiping's mouth slowly raised a smile.

"Zhang Kun, thank you!"

After speaking, I don't know when, Yao Zhiping disappeared into the collection room.

(Yao Zhiping finishes the volume.) ）
