Xiao Ying nodded solemnly and sat down slowly.

"Big Palm Eye is the supreme manager of the Ghost Eye Gate. ”

"Ghost Eye Gate?"

Yu Yao actually felt strange when he heard that there was a "top manager" behind the "Ghost Eye Gate". However, he also faintly smelled something else.

Sure enough, Xiao Ying said next: "Actually, the Ghost Eye Gate has long ceased to exist. ”

"And you just now?"

"Despite this, our Xiao family has never broken the inheritance of the hidden word, and there has been no way to know whether the big palm eye has inherited it. Now, I am the only man left in the Xiao family, and I finally got what I wanted!"

Xiao Ying took a sip of the coffee that was already cold, "Also, I just said that the big palm eye salute was also for my great-grandfather." My great-grandfather Xiao Gong was a hidden word during the period when Xu Taiyan was the big palm. However, Xu Taiyan died very suddenly, and my great-grandfather didn't know the reason, and he didn't see the last time, and he has always regretted it. ”

As soon as Yu Yao was about to speak, Xiao Ying raised his hand, "Listen to me tell you from the beginning." However, there is always something missing in my generation, and what I know is not too comprehensive. ”

"The Ghost Eye Gate was founded during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, the emperor took the lead, the wind of folk antiques was also very popular, the ghost eye door was originally a group of several ghost market masters, the eyesight was quite high, and it started with a treasure appreciation, so it was called the ghost eye door. Later, it gradually grew and made a fortune by trading antiques. In the middle of the Qianlong Dynasty, it was already large in scale and orderly in structure.

"At that time, there was a big palm, six people with each word, and a total of seven grimaces were cast to spend money. The one in your hand is the token of the big palm of the ghost eye, and the other six are the tokens of the palm of each word. The money is golden, and the back is cast with five elements of seals, so the unified internal incision is 'five elements wear gold'. ”

"The big palm-eyed leader is the ghost eye door, and the grimace spends money to cast the five elements of the complete character, and the unique incision 'ghost eye pierces the heart'. The five characters of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, each on the back of a single casting corresponding to the five elements of characters, the unique incisions are: ghost eyes through gold, ghost eyes through wood, ghost eyes through water, ghost eyes through fire, ghost eyes through earth. ”

These five words correspond to the attributes of the five elements, which are responsible for different types of antiques. Jinzikou is mainly responsible for gold, silver and bronze ware, wooden characters are furniture woodware, as well as ivory rhino horn and other wood-like miscellaneous items; water characters are mainly ink calligraphy and painting, taking into account various ancient book carvings; fire characters are mainly ceramics; clay characters are mainly jade, stone carvings, stone seals, inkstones, etc. ”

After introducing these, Xiao Ying paused, and Yu Yao took the opportunity to go out and tell Pu Jie that he still needed to talk for a while. Seeing that it was okay to talk for so long, Pu Jie couldn't help but nod and relaxed. Later, Yu Yao asked the waiter to reserve two cups of hot coffee.

Obviously, Xiao Ying knew a little more about the hidden words, and he continued:

"Hidden words, palm eyes token grimace spend money on the back of the wordless, but its meaning is the hidden five elements. Spending money is a square mouth, taking the meaning of the sky is round and the hollow is hidden. You should also understand by now that the hidden word mouth is not responsible for any type of antique alone, but is good at the art of Xuanmen, and has a unique incision 'ghost eye piercing the air'. ”

"This antique line, all-encompassing, in addition to the tombs unearthed things, there are also strange artifacts in the heirlooms, the hidden word mouth to deal with these, with feng shui magic. At the same time, it is also often used to eliminate disasters for the ghost eye door. ”

"The five words of the ghost eye door have a lot of communication and cooperation, and they are familiar with each other. But the hidden word mouth, only listen to the big palm eye to act, other words of the mouth, know that the ghost eye door has a hidden word mouth, but also know what the hidden word mouth dry is, but do not know that the hidden word mouth palm eye has a different characteristics of the five words of the face to spend money, and there is also a 'ghost eye through the air' incision.

This is because the big palms of the past dynasties are often the only all-rounders, and their eyesight is not inferior to any of the palms of the five elements, and they are not afraid of what will happen between them. But the hidden word mouth is a group of strange people, who can only be controlled by the big palm alone, and cannot be co-opted by any word. ”

"By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the power of the Ghost Eye Gate had been greatly weakened. Mainly an antique line, huge profits, the longer the time, the more internal strife. During the period of the Republic of China, there was a chaotic situation, Chinese and foreign forces were intricate, a large number of antique heavy weapons flowed into the people, and there was also an upsurge in counterfeiting. ”

"In the chaos, there was one person who turned the tide, and he was Xu Taiyan, the big palm eye at that time. ”

"Xu Taiyan's identity on the face is the shopkeeper of Gegu Zhai in Liuli Factory. He is a genius in the appraisal of antiques, and he also has a very high reputation in the bright industry, known as 'Xu Yiyan'. The so-called three words of cultural relics, half of the country, Xu Taiyan is the first among the three. ”

According to the word of mouth of his ancestors, Xu Taiyan was exquisite, ambitious, he changed the way of the ghost eye door and did not ask where to go, and tried to prevent the heavy equipment from flowing out of the country, and in the thirties of the last century, he also organized people to contribute a lot to the anti-Japanese war. At the same time, a large number of unqualified doormen have been eliminated. ”

At that time, the five words were all too heavy, and they would rather not make a move for the time being, carefully investigate, and resolutely put an end to the flow into the West and the East. However, with the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese people, the life of the Ghost Eye Gate became more and more difficult, and they could only disperse their forces to all parts of the country and act in a mobile manner. ”

At this time, Xiao Ying took a sip of coffee and looked at Yu Yao, "You are from Jiangzhou, and Xu Taiyan's descendants found you, but it is also a little more conformist." Do you know that when Yanjing fell, Xu Taiyan also struggled to protect a heavy weapon, and finally it was the Jiangzhou Cultural Relics Department that was accommodated. ”

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, "Could it be too upside down?"

"That's right. Although my great-grandfather was out of town at the time, I just heard about it, but it shouldn't be bad. ”

Yu Yao suddenly remembered what Pu Jie's father Pu Cunzhi had said, the Qianhe Art Museum in the Wa Kingdom said that the Provincial Museum's Taidian Fangding was fake, and what they collected was real. If Xu Taiyan handled it, how could it be fake?

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ying couldn't help but ask when he saw Yu Yao's expression.

"It's okay, a little emotional. You continue. ”

Xiao Ying continued: "On the third day of September 1938, the news of Xu Taiyan's death came out in Liulichang, and it is said that he died in Gegu Zhai, and the cause of death is unknown. At that time, Yanjing was already a puppet regime, and it was rumored that someone from the police station saw someone from the police station carrying Xu Taiyan's body from Gegu Zhai, but after that, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no relevant news. ”

"My great-grandfather has been searching for the whereabouts of the 'Devil's Eye Piercing Heart' since then, but to no avail. Xu Taiyan married a wife and had children relatively late, and there was only one son back then, named Xu Changan, who had just turned six years old. Before the Japanese invaded Yanjing, he was taken away from Yanjing by his wife and brother-in-law. ”

"Later, when my great-grandfather finally found Xu Taiyan's wife in Yuzhou, she was terminally ill and had only her last breath, and the words she left for my great-grandfather were: On the way from Hankou to Yuzhou, she, her younger brother, and her children were lost one after another!"

Xu Taiyan died mysteriously, and the situation was turbulent, the war was raging, and the Ghost Eye Gate fell apart, and the connection between the words was gradually broken, and finally completely dispersed. At that time, my great-grandfather was a hidden word and a palm, and he had great respect for Xu Taiyan, the big palm, and he thought about it in his heart, so he passed down a Xuanmen technique and 'ghost eye piercing the air'. ”

Xiao Ying said this, it was the end, after he stopped, he slowly took a sip of coffee, and when he put down the coffee, he suddenly said, "Oh, there is one more thing, I forgot to explain it to you." ”
