Chapter 43: Jade, Magata, and Mirror
Although Xing Jie sometimes makes mistakes, or sometimes he is not so tone-on.
However, when it comes to what he longs to see the real thing, that attitude is still quite rigorous.
His father-in-law and Major General Ye obtained information through three photos, thinking that the jade he obtained might be related to Dongying's magata, not only that, but the old man in front of him, who was like an ordinary farmer, said the same.
This is worth Xing Jie's gamble.
If this is a trap set by Tokugawa's true self, then, just as I originally thought, I wasted so much energy and spared such a big circle, and this pit was a little too big.
Xing Jie stretched out his hand and went down from his neck, and then solemnly handed it over.
After the other party took it, he took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. A little bit of looking, a little bit of speculation. However, Xing Jie didn't see him take out other information, nor did he see that the so-called huge ancient jade was there. Well, probably it's been done by heart. This is also possible, after all, a family has guarded the ancient jade for so many years, even if there are a few cracks on it, it will be clear.
"Mr. Xing Jie's jade is really quite magical, and I find it hard to believe that although the two countries are not far apart, they are also separated by the sea after all, but there is such a magical thing happening, which really makes me feel incredible. The old man said after handing it back.
"When I was still in Kagoshima, I heard from Tokugawa-kun that the ancient jade in Mr. Toba's hand was amazing. I wonder if I can see that I'm here?"
As soon as Xing Jie's words were finished, he saw that Tokugawa Shingo and the old man were stunned, and then they smiled bitterly. This made Xing Jie feel a little incredible. After thinking about it, there was nothing wrong in what I said.
"Xing-san, this gentleman's surname is not Toba, but ......" Tokugawa Mame had not finished his words when the old man interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Mr. Xing Jie doesn't understand the customs on our side, and it's not an exaggeration. Let me elaborate. In fact, you should also know that my ancestor was the Emperor Toba, so he was given the name Toba, but he was deprived of the status of a nobleman, and he will always guard this mountain. Therefore, there is only one bird feather in each generation, which is both an official name and a personal name, but it is not a surname. As for the other descendants, they can only be called Da Lang Erlang.
In fact, in my generation, I am the only one left. So this generation of Toba, that is, an ordinary person, should not be the word sir. If Mr. Xing Jie is not accustomed to calling me by my first name, there is nothing wrong with the original statement. ”
This made Xing Jie muttered in his heart, what kind of rules are these special mothers. At first, I thought he was an old aristocrat, but after making trouble for a long time, he was just a rich man! But it was really awkward to ask him to call a man in his fifties or sixties by his full name. Forget it, let's call it according to the original shouting.
Seeing Xing Jie nodding, the bird feather stood up. With a wave of his hand, he walked to the back of the house.
Generally speaking, the degree of cherishing of ancient jade is basically carefully placed in the heavily protected warehouse. Even if it's a large jade, it's better to get a shed or something like that to shelter it from the wind and rain.
But today, Xing Jie can be regarded as having opened his eyes. At the same time, I also know what the concept of the large ancient jade that Tokugawa said is!
Big, really big. A mountain, can it be a big mother?
In fact, strictly speaking, it cannot be said to be a mountain, but on a cliff, a protrusion in the shape of a magatama can be faintly seen. But the pattern that Tokugawa said they said, Xing Jie didn't even see that his eyes were about to pop out.
"This is the real eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade! As for the string in the palace, of course. However, the secrets contained in that string of magatama are only known by the royal blood of this branch.
The rest of the collateral branches, hum, are keys, at best. Toba still has a little bit of the elegant appearance he had just now, and the hideousness on his face fully exposes his hatred for the royal family.
Xing Jie said that this is completely understandable, no matter who is trapped in this barren mountain and wilderness for the best years of his life, guarding this so-called stone wall hook jade, I am afraid that it will not be much better than this bad old man. Also, the word key is very interesting, such a royal secret, this bad old man can also know?
"Mr. Bird, may I ask, how do you see that there are patterns on this magata?" Xing Jie asked with a shrug of his shoulders.
Toba didn't explain, but handed over a round thing.
Xing Jie took it in his hand, looked at it several times, and finally came to the conclusion that this was a mirror.
Although the style looks simple and generous, and it is cold to start, it is not the mercury mirror and bronze mirror that Xing Jie is familiar with. But the clarity is still quite high, and it's not bad at the point of subtle clarity.
"Look in the mirror!" Toba said lightly.
Xing Jie did as he was told, and really saw a giant blue magatayu floating on top of the cliff in the mirror. The pattern is exquisite, and the carving is simple and generous.
Well, it's amazing, but it's useless.
Even if you tell the world that this is the most mysterious eight-foot jade in Toying, so what? The final result is that this old immortal named Toba is completely famous, and he can die of laughter just by earning ticket money!
Seeing Xing Jie helplessly put down the mirror in his hand, Toba also smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Xing Jie, do you know what my age is? I might as well tell you that I am only thirty-nine years old this year. It's a year younger than Tokugawa-kun. But since I took over this mirror from my father at the age of eighteen, it has taken me all my energy to get to the bottom of the secret of this mirror and Magatama.
So my advice to you is that the jade is fine as an ornament, and don't try to understand the mysteries of it, so that you waste all your good time on things that you don't have any objections to. I'm a lesson from the past!"
Xing Jie nodded, expressing absolute agreement with this. I just want to make some money, and as for the fact that I can solve the mystery of history, I should leave it to people with IQ of more than 200 to complete. Isn't it better to accompany your daughter-in-law to travel than anything else?
"I'll give you this mirror as a souvenir, don't be surprised, it's an imitation anyway. It's not very precious, but it's hard to find materials. For so many years, Ise Jingu and Atsuta Jingu have only made four sides, and I still have one, so this one will be given to you. ”
Xing Jie was stunned, of course he had heard of the two places of Ise Shrine and Atsuta Shrine, and every Dongying tour group would make a big deal about these two shrines, and it was awesome. Atsuta Jingu is claimed to be dedicated to the great god of Amaterasu, Suzhan Mingzun and Tiancong Cloud Sword, and although Ise Jingu did not say it explicitly, Toba said so, so the Yaga Mirror, one of the three artifacts, should be placed there!
So, what is this imitation?
Tokugawa looked at the mirror in Xing Jie's hand with hot eyes, and nodded straight at Xing Jie. And Toba said indifferently: "Hmph, that's what kind of eight-point mirror, but it's hard to say whether the mirror enshrined there is real or fake." ”
Awesome, you're a Dongying person, is it really good to despise your own ancestors like this?
