Chapter 151: Invitation
Since the money had to be prepared for the last piece of Fangwei, Meng Zitao did not take any pictures except for the stone turtle, but fortunately, there were no lots that he had to buy during the period, so he didn't have to feel a pity.
"The last one is the highlight of this auction, please take a look!"
The Pony King asks everyone to look at the lot brought by the waiter, which is Meng Zitao's target bronze square.
This Fang Wei is exactly the same as the one in the photo in Meng Zitao's hand, and Meng Zitao is also quite surprised, after the Pony King motioned for everyone to come on stage to admire, he walked on stage with great interest.
However, after Meng Zitao got closer, he found that there was something vaguely wrong with this Fang Wei, and when he looked closely, he was immediately disappointed that it was actually a fake.
Although this fake is too realistic, Meng Zitao can still feel it at a glance, it has not been baptized by time, and the rust color on its body is completely made.
It's just that Meng Zitao was a little puzzled, as far as he knew, Fang Wei had not been in the hands of the old fox for a long time, how could the other party have time to make such a realistic fake?
Or is there two pieces of the same square, and this one is based on the other? or some other reason?
Meng Zitao returned to his seat thoughtfully, it seemed that he had to figure out Fang Li's master, otherwise he couldn't figure out what was going on.
This Fang Wei is too realistic, and many people on the scene do not have such an eyesight as Meng Zitao, so in the auction process, the price is higher than the other, and the money doesn't seem to be like money.
Seeing that Meng Zitao was watching coldly throughout the whole process, Yuan Zili was a little strange, and he was worried that Meng Zitao would make trouble, so he asked, "Teacher Meng, why didn't you raise your card?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "What's the point of me raising my card at this price?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Zili began to worry in his heart.
Meng Zitao looked at him and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in it." ”
Yuan Zili understood and said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Just like you think. Meng Zitao said: "But I still want to know who the owner is, and I believe that the owner is very likely to have the original in his hands or have seen the original." ”
Yuan Zili nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”
Fang Wei's auction is over, and the whole auction is over, the guests who have just harvested are all taking the money to settle the bill, and the organizer is also very considerate, arranging a room for the first person to settle the bill, so as not to be disturbed.
Meng Zitao settled the account and was about to go back, when the staff suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, can you stay, my boss wants to see you." ”
Both Mencius and Yuan Zili couldn't help but be stunned, Mencius wondered why the Pony King wanted to see him, while Yuan Zili was very nervous, for fear that the Pony King would see that Meng Zitao had changed his face.
I have seen a lot of accidents, and I am a master of the arts, Meng Zitao has nothing to be nervous about, and asked, "I don't know why you Mr. Ma are looking for me?"
The staff smiled: "Mr. Ma asked me to tell you that if you are interested in the stone turtle, you will not be disappointed." ”
If Meng Zitao had no intention of meeting with the Pony King just now, after hearing these words, his attitude was different, not to mention that the aura in the stone turtle was very rich, and Meng Zitao accidentally discovered that the aura in the stone turtle had a special spirituality, which could actually speed up the operation of the exercises.
If there is more than one such stone turtle, the benefits to him are too great, and this possibility is very high.
You must know that the turtle is one of the four spirits in the ancient culture of our country, "three hundred and sixty beetles, and the turtle is long", "the turtle is the one?? The upper is the heavens, and the lower is the law".
The Chinese nation's worship of turtles has a long history, and the turtle culture accumulated from this is magnificent. In ancient times, it was believed that the dorsal carapace of the tortoise was raised and round, like the sky, and the ventral carapace was square and resembled the earth. The tortoise's feet symbolize the four pillars that support the heavens, which actually means that the tortoise is a shrunken heaven and earth.
In addition, the turtle is a symbol of power, the ancient people chose birds, turtles and fish as objects to worship, and in their minds have a high status, it is the totem of the clan, the turtle symbolizes praying for the clan, the prosperity of the people, and the harvest of fishing and hunting. The turtle was favored by the ancients for its vigorous vitality.
In China's ancient jade, there have been turtles made of jade since the Neolithic Age, extending to various cultural periods and the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Therefore, Meng Zitao has reason to believe that this stone turtle should have been used for sacrifice at that time, and it was not only so, otherwise how could it have such a miraculous effect now. Therefore, the staff's words hit Mencius Zitao's death hole, and now money is no longer very attractive to him, and he can't care less about this kind of things related to abilities and exercises.
"Good. Meng Zitao nodded: "I don't know where Mr. Ma is now?"
"Please come with me......"
The staff took them out of the villa, got into an electric car, and drove to another villa not far away.
In comparison, this villa is a bit less located and much smaller in size, so there is not much comparison, and the only benefit may be that it is quieter.
The electric car stopped at the door of the villa, and the staff was about to take Meng Zitao and them into the villa, but a young man about thirty years old stopped them.
The young man said to Meng Zitao, "You are Shi Baixing?"
Meng Zitao nodded, he instinctively reminded himself that this person had some ill intentions towards him.
The young man continued, "Come with me." ”
When the group walked into the villa, the young man was expressionless, and he didn't say anything to Meng Zitao, and of course Meng Zitao would not be looking for trouble.
Different from the villa just now, the style here belongs to the Jiangnan garden, with small bridges and flowing water, birds singing and flowers, which is very exquisite.
Meng Zitao admired the surrounding scenery, and just as he was walking across a wooden bridge, the young man in front of him suddenly paused, and then let out an exclamation from his mouth, and fell towards Meng Zitao.
At this time, Meng Zitao had to help him, and if he retreated, he would definitely fall into the river next to him. Moreover, Meng Zitao believed that he did it on purpose, and if he did not help, it was likely that there would be a battle of words.
So, Meng Zitao stretched out his hand to help him, but he noticed that a trace of fierceness flashed on the young man's face, coupled with his intuition just now, he knew that the other party was about to make a move. As soon as he glanced at the rest of his eyes, he immediately noticed what the young man was holding in the palm of his right hand, and if he looked closely, it was clearly a thing with a spike on his head, if it was pierced on his body, it would be a terrible thing, not to mention, what if there was poison on it?
Meng Zitao felt a little inexplicable, he had no grudge against this man at all, why did he use this against himself? Did he have a problem with his brain? Besides, he was a guest invited by the Pony King, didn't this man slap the Pony King in the face by doing this? Or did he say that all this was instructed by the Pony King.
In any case, it was certainly impossible for Meng Zitao to sit still, and on the surface, he still pretended to help the young man, but in fact, with a strong left hand, he stabbed the spike held in the young man's hand towards his own thigh.
So, the young man let out another scream, his face suddenly turned pale, he broke free from Meng Zitao's side, took a few steps back, and fell into the water with a pop.
Meng Zitao pretended to be surprised: "What is he doing here, why did he fall into the water again?"
Yuan Zili originally thought that it was a ghost made by Meng Zitao, but Meng Zitao pretended to be too similar, so this thought flashed away, thinking that there was something wrong with this person, he screamed just now, and was supported by Meng Zitao, and now he actually fell into the river by himself, it is inexplicable, it can't be a mental problem, right?
The young man was stirred by the cold water, his brain suddenly cleared up, and he pointed at Meng Zitao: "You ......"
Meng Zitao said in surprise: "I helped you just now, could it be that I still helped you wrong?"
The young man's face turned pale with anger, of course he couldn't say that he was going to plot against Meng Zitao just now, but Meng Zitao saw through it and smashed his own foot, but he couldn't swallow this breath.
Just as the young man was about to burst out, the pony king came over, he glanced at the young man in the pool, his face was not very good, and reprimanded, "Change my clothes!"
When the young man saw the Pony King, he didn't dare to say anything, so he got up from the pool and walked towards the villa.
The king of pony apologized to Meng Zitao first, and introduced that the young man was his nephew Ma Yuecheng, and as for the rest, he didn't say much, and Meng Zitao didn't ask much.
Pony King led everyone straight to the restaurant and sat down, and then asked, "Does Mr. Shi have any taboos?"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Mr. Ma, let's put the matter of eating first, I don't know what you called me over, and besides, what do you mean by stone turtle?"
As the saying goes, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, although he is not afraid of the Pony King, but he doesn't want to be confused. In addition, he cared about whether the other party still had something like a stone turtle in his hand, and there was no need for the two parties to hide it, so he went straight to the point.
Seeing that Meng Zitao attached great importance to the stone turtle, the Pony King smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't have that kind of stone turtle in my hand anymore, but I have similar artifacts, and they were found in the same place." ”
Meng Zitao nodded lightly: "Then can you let me see?"
At this time, Ma Yuecheng changed his clothes and came over, he glanced at Meng Zitao, and sat next to the pony king, looking at Meng Zitao with hatred, eager to peel Meng Zitao and cramp.
It's just that although he didn't want to, he had to admit that Meng Zitao did have a hand, and he was able to let himself lift a stone and hit his own foot without preparation just now, and Meng Zitao's strength was so great that he couldn't even use the strength to struggle, and it was really incredible to stab himself in the leg.
