Chapter 14: Antiquities

A blind man who wants to learn treasure appreciation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

How funny this sounds.

But Su Shen's expression was serious, and his tone was serious.

Looking at Su Shen's appearance, Tang Zhen took a long breath and began to weigh his words at an extremely slow speed:

"The young master wants to learn to appreciate treasures and be inspirational and enterprising, which is of course a good thing. However, this treasure appraisal business is varied, all-encompassing, and extremely complex. Even those veterans who have been in the industry for many years often have times when they lose their eyes......"

He said this word in a very low and deep voice.

Su Shen listened to it, and said: "The big shopkeeper wants to say that those clear-eyed people may lose their eyes, not to mention that I'm a blind man, I don't even have the qualifications to walk my eyes, so what kind of palm-eyed and eye-walking eyes are talking about? Just take into account my feelings, it's not easy to say too clearly, right?"

Tang Zhen smiled wryly, but still replied: "Young Master, forgive the old man for being rude and outspoken...... Precisely. ”

Su Shen smiled: "The big shopkeeper is willing to tell me bluntly, which is a good thing." I also know that I have bad eyes, and it is very difficult to learn how to appreciate treasures. But I always believe that one day, my eyes will be restored. Learning now is to lay the foundation for that time. Besides, even if I don't recover and don't study well, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that I don't preside over any antique trading. I'm here to learn, and I won't get in the way of the big shopkeeper's work. ”

Hearing this, Tang Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, there is naturally no problem. ”

"In that case, leave everything to the treasurer. So where do we start?"

Tang Zhen didn't expect Su Shen to be so studious, so he was going to listen to the lecture now, and thought about it: "It's better to start with Yuzhen Pavilion first." Since you have come to your own store, you must first understand the situation in the store. ”

"Good!"

"Yuzhen Pavilion currently mainly deals in some antiquities handed down from the Glorious God Dynasty, and occasionally takes over some antiquities from the ancient period, but this kind of antiquities requires a higher eyesight, and unless you have a definite grasp, you will not accept it easily. Young master, please come with me, and I will show you the treasures of our pavilion. Although the young master can't see it, he can smell, hear, and touch it. I'll tell the young master about this knowledge first......"

Tang Zhen said, and he had stuffed a piece of ancient jade into Su Shen's hand.

The ancient jade was warm and moist, holding it in his hand, Su Shen actually felt a bright and majestic aura lingering in his hand.

"This is a three-color jade with a slack cow pattern, with three colors: blue, red and yellow, from the period of Emperor Ping of the Glorious God Dynasty, it was a personal thing of the Kyushu judge Wang Shi of that year, and his name was engraved on the reverse side of this jade. The owner can touch it. Wang Shi was valued by Emperor Ping and supervised the punishment of Kyushu, I don't know how many unjust prisons Zhaoxue had, and he can be regarded as a rare clear person in that dark era. This three-color jade has followed him for many years and has been contaminated with the upright spirit on his body, so it is worn on his body and has the power of driving away evil and avoiding evil. ”

The source of the desolate antiquities, there are many miraculous effects.

This sloppy three-color jade, which can be called the treasure of the town pavilion, naturally needs some special effects to be worthy of this title.

Although the effect of this piece of jade is average, it can only suppress ordinary yin and evil qi, but for ordinary people, it can be regarded as very good.

After introducing this piece of ancient jade, Tang Zhen took Su Shen to a counter again.

"There's a book by the Austrians. The Austrians are a powerful race that existed 50,000 years ago and possess incredible inventive abilities. Many great inventions came from that time, but they were also lost in that period. It took a lot of effort for the Jade True Pavilion to get this book "On the Influence of the Composition Form of Genzi on the Use of Arcane", although it has no special effect, it is the oldest thing in the Jade True Pavilion. Because of the age, it is not easy to preserve, so I will not give it to you to touch. ”

Su Shen said curiously: "Shopkeeper, how do you know the title of the book?

Tang Zhen stroked his beard and smiled proudly: "Naturally, it's because the old man and I know the Austrian language." You must know that the appreciation of cultural relics is not an easy task, and an excellent treasure connoisseur must also be a person who is well-versed in the past and the present. Knowing history and literacy is the basis for identifying antiquities. ”

"I see. Su Shen's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Tang Zhen: "Please also ask the big shopkeeper to teach me." ”

"Eh, I can't help it, I can't help it, the young master is serious. Tang Zhen hurriedly helped him up: "If the young master wants to learn, I'll teach you." If you can't see it, it's better to start with this level of knowledge. The history, geography, and cultural writing of dozens of Zhi clans in the Origin Continent, as long as the young master wants to learn, I am willing to teach you!"

This is an era of emphasizing martial arts over literature, and the threat of the Source Desolate Beast Clan has made every Zhi Clan survive in a difficult environment, and they have to develop their weapons with all their strength to resist the endless beast tide in the wilderness. As a result, the role of culture was reduced to the lowest level, and it was replaced by a strong martial spirit and a complete and rigorous lineage of spiritual practice.

In contrast, the status of knowledge systems has declined significantly. The people who possess knowledge are no longer the upper echelons of human society, but constitute the middle part of this social pyramid. Like craftsmen, doctors, and other people who have mastered special crafts, they form the backbone of society and are passed down from generation to generation.

Those who do not have either will be reduced to the bottom of society.

In this environment, Su Shen wanted to learn knowledge, but Tang Zhen actually couldn't ask for it. He didn't have any value to cherish himself, but was pleasantly surprised that what he had learned could find a way out. In case Su Shen can achieve something in the future, as a former teacher, Tang Zhen is also destined to rise. Of course, considering Su Shen's current situation, Tang really didn't expect this. Now he just likes Su Shen and likes this young man's intelligence, studious and enterprising. At the same time, it is also a matter of being loyal and doing things for the Lord's family.

So in the following days, Su Shen began to follow Tang Zhen to learn the history of the Origin Continent and the characters of various ethnic groups.

Tang Zhen was very pleased to find that although he couldn't see it, Su Shen's comprehension was amazingly high, and he could understand many things as long as he spoke them once, and even draw inferences.

Although blindness caused him a lot of inconvenience, it also gave him a delicate mind and a stronger memory, which made him more focused.

For those things that need to be memorized by rote, Su Shen almost always memorizes them all over again.

It only took three months for Su Shen to completely memorize the main historical process of the Source Wilderness Continent, and he also knew about dozens of Zhi clans, including the human race, and even mastered some of the characters and basic usages of the Austrian and Tyrant clans. said that Su Shen's 100 days of work is worth three years of hard study by others.

And here in Tang Zhen, Su Shen finally really began to understand the history of the origin and famine, which was not recorded in the history books of the human race.
