In Ding Qi's primordial spirit, he seemed to hear the bronze ancient sword crying softly. The shopkeeper was a little stunned, this customer was so strange, saying that he was appraising things, but he closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time. The boss finally couldn't help but speak: "This gentleman, what's wrong with you, do you want to buy it or not?"

On this occasion, Ding Qi couldn't concentrate on the senses, but only felt it very roughly, he opened his eyes and said, "A thousand yuan, how about it?"

The boss was dissatisfied: "You are joking! I just said, the minimum is 3,000, and if it is lower, I will have to discount the capital." ”

"Didn't you collect this sword for 500 yuan last year, why did you lose 3,000 yuan? I said Wang Wentong, what the hell is going on with you today? It doesn't look like doing business at all!" Another voice came from outside the door, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was still Guo Yi, the person in charge of the Public Security Joint Defense Office just now.

Guo Yi was very angry, and when he was on patrol today, he happened to meet Li Pin, the leader who also worked in the political and legal system, and he accompanied Section Chief Li to visit the store, but he met Wang Wentong, an unlucky boss. After sending Section Chief Li away, Guo Yi came back again, wanting to ask Boss Wang what he meant today, and happened to see someone wanting to buy the sword.

Guo Yi is just a grassroots police officer, although the official is not big, but he has a lot of things in charge of this market, and he is also very well-informed. The antique market has always been mixed, and he turns a blind eye to many things, because he really can't manage it, and he can't offend too many people.

Boss Wang spent 500 yuan to collect a bronze sword in the hands of the workers who buried the water pipe, Guo Yi happened to have heard about it, and he simply broke it at this moment, which can be regarded as looking for bad luck.

Boss Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Director Guo, you also saw it just now, it was obvious that the two guests were angry there. Open the door to do business, I can't offend anyone, I'm in a dilemma."

Guo Yi: "Don't talk about it just now, just talk about it now, what's going on with your sword, is there a problem with the origin?"

Boss Wang hurriedly explained: "There is no problem with the origin, I just spent 500 yuan to collect it, doesn't Director Guo know it? As for how people came here, the rules of our antique shop do not inquire." ”

Guo Yi: "This is a cultural relic, right? The public sale of talismans does not comply with national regulations, does it need to be checked?"

Boss Wang stepped forward and bowed and said, "This is a modern imitation, not a real antique, how can I receive the real thing." ”

This is a standard jargon of a contemporary antique store, and it is a skill to sell a fake to customers as genuine, but when it comes to official inspection or someone finds fault, such as a cultural relic with a questionable origin, the boss will say that it is a modern imitation of the craft, anyway, he is accepted as a fake, and he is not a professional appraiser who can't actually tell the difference.

Ding Qi on the side smiled, took the sword and said: "Modern imitation handicrafts?

Boss Wang: "Although I received 500 yuan, the rent, water and electricity, market management expenses, and my own labor are also money." If you really like it, give it another price. ”

Speaking of which, 1,500 yuan was sold. Those who do business will observe their words, just now Boss Wang saw Ding Qi holding a sword and didn't put it down for so long, it is clear that he has already taken a fancy to it, usually in this case, ten out of ten will buy it. So he had already planned to bite 3,000 yuan without reducing the price, but unexpectedly let Guo Yi find a stubble, but he still sold it at a discount.

Ding Qi swiped his mobile phone to pay, handed the sword to the boss and said, "Help me wrap it." Then he pointed to the two ancient bricks on the shelf and said, "Pack it with the sword frame." ”

The boss was stunned: "You also want to take away those two bricks?"

Before Ding Qi could speak, Guo Yi shouted again: "Nonsense! There is more than one company that sells swords in this market, and who sells things, not with a shelf? You just said that these two bricks are the shelves for putting swords, and when the swords are sold, of course the shelves must be wrapped for people." ”

Ding Qi said with a smile: "This Director Guo is right, this is indeed the truth, give me the sword frame together." ”

Boss Wang: "But these two bricks" said this, and suddenly stopped his voice, because he saw Ding Qi's eyes.

Ding Qi turned his back to Guo Yi, his eyes looked directly into Boss Wang's eyes, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he looked extremely cold. Boss Wang has never had this kind of look, as if he has been able to see through the depths of his soul, which makes people have a feeling that they can't hide, and his mind is also in a trance, as if his mind has been lost, as if he was hypnotized instantly.

I only heard Ding Qi say unhurriedly: "The guest just now won't come to buy these two bricks again, and he won't buy anything from your store again."

Boss Wang himself knows what the origin of these two bricks is, and it is not a rare object, so it is a big deal to pick it again, but the real problem is his shop and the customer just now. At this moment, Ding Qi's tone paused, and Boss Wang suddenly came back to his senses, feeling like a drowning man finally plopping ashore, and he was already in a cold sweat.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Why are you talking so much, I'll wrap things up for you." ”

The two bricks that were not sold for 2,000 yuan were given to Ding Qi as a sword frame at this moment. The ancient sword was too long, wrapped in a long strip of cardboard shell, and the bricks were too heavy, so he found a nylon bag to carry it, and Ding Qi left the Xinshikou antique market with his things.

Dinner was made by Xian Hao, and Ding Qi ate ready-made. At dinnertime, Zhu Shanxian also returned, Ding Qi put the ancient sword and two bricks he bought on the table, and the two of them introduced the day's events to Xian Hao respectively. Ding Qi asked again: "District Chief Zhu, are Section Chief Zhang and Director Guo your people?

Zhu Shanxian replied: "I am a native of Jinghu, I have lived here for more than 40 years, and I have worked for 20 years, how can I not have a group of trustworthy people? Even if it has nothing to do with the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, it is okay to find someone to do something." Li Pin is indeed my person, but I don't know that Director Guo, it was purely by chance. ”

Xian Hao asked Ding Qi again: "You accompany Senior Brother Zhu to block Zhang Wangxiong, go to the antique market and come back with a sword by the way, why do you want to get these two bricks back?

"Not really, just because these two bricks have a story. ”

Zhu Shanxian: "Story, what story?"

Ding Qi seemed to answer the question: "Senior Brother Zhu, you deduced that Zhang Wangxiong was looking for special artifacts, and used the method of registering the door to assist in the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Induction, in an attempt to make the Juemen Wangqi Technique realm to a higher level." I've studied a bit of the Door Technique, and you've taught me the Juemen Qi Technique, so I want to try it too.

When I entered the shop today, I felt it, I seemed to hear the sword crying, and then I seemed to see its experience, but I didn't feel it very clearly, and what surprised me even more was that these two bricks, they actually had a story, and when I felt it carefully, it was like reading the story that happened to them, it was very clear, so I brought them back as well. ”

Xian Hao frowned and said: "There are bricks with a story? I have been to Huangzi Mountain with you, these two bricks should have been on the mountain at that time, why didn't you find them? There are so many bricks on the mountain, all of them have a story? You have to move back to see it, or simply go to Huangzi Mountain again to read the story?"

Ding Qi sighed: "It is a mountain with a story, a tower with a story, a world with a story, and the ground is full of bricks with a story. But these two bricks are different, I should have seen them at the time, but they came down the mountain and walked in the red dust, and the feeling was actually changed, and I can really read the story in them, which is different from the other bricks on the mountain. ”

Zhu Shanxian was curious: "What story did they tell you?"

Ding Qi shook his head and said: "It's not that they are telling stories, but if you feel them carefully, you can see, hear, or feel the stories that happen to them, as if the artifacts have spirituality."

When Ah Quan introduced the micro-technique, he once said that after the cultivation is successful, the things in his hands seem to become alive, and they can speak. It's not things that speak, it's people who can feel it. Senior Brother Zhu's cultivation of the Juemen Wangqi Technique was originally a living thing, mainly looking at people. But what if we used to observe everything in this heaven and earth?

Senior Sister Xian, when you were on Huangzi Mountain, you mentioned primitive shamans and animism. Everything in this heaven and earth has its own spirituality, including every brick on that mountain, but how can we find out, or how can an artifact have a special spirituality, in fact, I can't say, but today I suddenly feel a little something.

It's a crying sword, and these two bricks gave me the feeling that they would walk on long legs. I saw the path they traveled and even sensed what was going on around them, which is why I said they were bricks with stories."

When Ding Qi saw these two bricks, a heart plate inexplicably appeared in the Yuan Shen, containing the location and route. Starting from Huangzi Mountain, the two bricks were brought down and sent to the antique shop called Wuhua Tang.

The boss deliberately put two bricks on the shelf, and in order to hide people's eyes, he set up a rusty copper sword. Later, Zhang Wangxiong came to buy these two bricks, and a series of disputes broke out over these two bricks. If the bricks have spirituality and can tell their own stories, this is a bizarre story.

Zhu Shan couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not that bricks have stories, but Mr. Ding, you have stories." You know exactly what these two bricks have gone through, that's why you feel this way. ”

Tincey: "That's true, but it's really what I sensed from these two bricks. ”

Xian Hao: "Could it be just a psychological suggestion, because of these two bricks, you hypnotized yourself." ”

Ding Qi didn't refute, just nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, but the phenomenon that artifacts can produce psychological suggestion to people is itself worth studying." Do you remember Ah Quan's double-blind test? You can each take a piece and go back to feel it.

Senior Brother Zhu, you shouldn't know the details of Huangzi Mountain. Senior Sister Xian, you shouldn't know the details of the antique market. If you can sense it clearly, and it matches the facts, it proves that these two bricks are indeed spiritual in themselves, and they have changed from bricks with stories to bricks with stories.

I'm still thinking about another question, where does the spirituality of the so-called artifacts come from, from heaven and earth, created by the environment, or simply given by people? For example, why can we give it the wonderful function of opening the door to the outer worlds, for example, when we have been refining the Jingwen stone?"

Zhu Shanxian nodded and said, "Okay, then Senior Sister Xian and I will take a brick and study it well, what about you?"

Ding Qi: "I'll study this sword well." ”

Xian Hao: "Don't worry, eat first." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "Yes, yes, eat first." There is another thing to discuss after eating, and I got the evidence of the crimes of Sha Langzheng's gang back then. ”
