Chapter 22: The Dragon Cup
When he got home, Yang Ling saw the strange thing that was still on the ground of the study, so he opened the circle of friends and found a lot of information, but almost all of them said that they had never seen it, and a few familiar friends persuaded him to take a few bites to see if it was a super big potato, and some said that it was cut and fried to try back the pot meat, and some people even said that it might be the eggs of the divine beast, let him sleep and cover the quilt every day, maybe a divine dragon will hatch that day.
Yang Ling pouted, these people were simply too unreliable, so he turned on the computer and found a website called Qi Tanke, and posted a post for identification in the post bar, with a photo.
This strange Tanke website is very fun and lively, there are all kinds of people in it, there are all kinds of jobs, down to the cleaners who sweep the streets, up to the engineers of the Shenzhou spacecraft, those who look at the faces, and sell rat pills in the rivers and lakes, etc., etc., even if you don't know anything, just say "I don't know what it is, it looks delicious?" can find the answer for you. Every day, countless people seek identification and truth, and various technical posts emerge one after another, such as "Teach you how to spot a thief on the bus?" and "On the technical essentials of stealing wallets on the bus system." And so on.
Not long after the post was put up, the top posts began, and it seems that the people who mix this site are quite idle, and they are very enthusiastic, and they are keen to help others all day long.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a person known as the "senior researcher of the China Research Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" said that this thing is a Tai Sui, it is a good thing, it is rare to see in nature, you can stew soup or soak in water to drink, it has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing qi, nourishing the kidney and liver, and sent a few links to Tai Sui, open it to see that it is almost the same as Yang Ling's thing, the last reminder of the post, it is usually best to soak in water, this thing will die after a long time.
Yang Ling was very happy after reading it, the miner's product must be a high-quality product, I didn't expect this thing to be a good thing, so he went to the kitchen to find a bucket, put Tai Sui into the bucket, and thought about it when he was about to put the faucet, and simply mentioned the small yard of the miner system, and soaked it in a bucket of well water.
Seeing that it was still early, Yang Ling simply changed into big pants and picked up a pickaxe to start mining. Yang Ling's current speed is so great that he can dig almost a thousand pieces an hour, and he can dig for about five or six hours a day intermittently, and if he has to dig a million pieces, he has to dig for at least two hundred days, and if he wants to rise to level nine or ten, he doesn't know that he will dig until the year of the monkey.
The tinkling in his mind kept ringing, and the hints on the light curtain were also rolling like flowing water, and when Yang Ling felt a little hungry, he looked at the third little star, and the white on the sharp corners seemed to be a little more.
"Ding Ding~"
Two consecutive reminders sounded, and a black thing turned out from under the pickaxe, and disappeared before it could be seen clearly, only to see the light curtain showing: civilized minerals, processed products, worthless.
Ha ha~! Yang Ling happily dropped the pickaxe and returned to the small yard, and found the thing in the ore all over the ground, this thing looked like a black cup, stained with soil, although there was no damage in the slightest, but it was also very inconspicuous, the shape of the cup was very peculiar, the square was not round, the hand was very heavy, the material could not be seen, but it was definitely not metal, the outside was wrapped in mud to cover the original face, Yang Ling walked to the well and prepared to wash it, but then he came to his senses, took the cup and went back to the room directly, found a small brush to brush the soil on it, and wiped it with a clean cloth, and then carefully observed。
The cup is about 20 centimeters high, about 10 centimeters in diameter, and the whole is square, but the four edges and corners on the side are polished into an arc, and the inner diameter is also seven or eight centimeters, and the opening is relatively large, and it gradually shrinks to five or six centimeters downward, so the base looks thick and very stable on the table. After looking over and over for a long time, there is no logo on the cup, neither the signature nor the pattern, but the tight and fine lines can still be seen with a magnifying glass, which is faintly mixed with a trace of gold, like wood and ivory rhino horn materials.
It seems to be an ancient cultural relic, but he can't tell it, although he studies archaeology, but he can only identify the age of the item from the signs such as text patterns and styles, the place of origin, etc., and he is also a half-hanger, after graduation, he is dealing with ores, like this kind of single ancient cultural relics, he has become blind, and his eyes are black.
Doesn't Sun Xiaojing work at the Beijing Institute of Antiquities? Maybe she recognizes it. Yang Lin thought of this, so he called Sun Xiaojing, and learned that her morning study had ended, and she didn't ask Yang Ling to pick her up, saying that she would take a taxi over in a while, Yang Ling thought about it and went to take a bath first, and after digging for nearly two hours just now, her body was already sweaty.
From yesterday to today, three reward items have been dug up in a row, Yang Ling was proud while taking a bath, and then realized that it was not his luck that had become better at all, but that the speed of his own mining had accelerated, at the beginning, he could only dig a few hundred pieces a day, and then more than a thousand pieces a day, and now he has to dig more than a thousand pieces in an hour, if he continues to calculate like this, there will be different reward items almost every day, and his mood suddenly became excited.
After taking a bath, sit on the rattan chair on the balcony of the living room to bask in the sun, at this time, at noon, the faint sun shines on the body, peaceful, warm, unrestrained, drink a sip of freshly brewed tea, listen to the music from the living room stereo, life is like this, what more can the husband ask for.
"Ding Dong~"
The doorbell rang, Yang Ling jumped up from the chair and hurriedly opened the door, under the sun, Sun Xiaojing stood slim at the door, seeing Yang Ling, her smiling eyes and eyebrows crooked.
"Yang Ling, aren't you going to work?" Sun Xiaojing walked into the living room, put the small bag on the sofa, and took the water cup handed over by Yang Ling.
"I've resigned!" Yang Ling didn't hide it, "There is intrigue in the unit every day, and it's not suitable for people like me at all." ”
"So?" Sun Xiaojing was a little surprised, followed Yang Ling to the balcony and sat down, the noon sun, through the sparse branches, shone on her delicate face, her fair skin faintly glowed with a crystal luster, tied up ponytail, white sweater, holding a glass of water in both hands and sitting quietly like this, Yang Ling looked at her blankly, and couldn't help but make her face flush.
"You said you found an ancient treasure, where is it, let me palm your eyes for you!" Sun Xiaojing put down the water glass and rolled her eyes at him.
Yang Ling turned around and picked up the black cup from the coffee table behind him and handed it to her, "That's it, I haven't figured it out after watching it for a long time, you should be better than me, I think when I was studying, I basically slept in class." ”
"Who told you not to read well, you hate less when you use books, now you understand?" Sun Xiaojing took the cup, calmed down and began to look over and over again, and after a few minutes, she also shook her head, "It seems that I shouldn't have said you, and I didn't see what it was." But it's right because it's supposed to be a cup, and since it's a cup, it should be able to hold water, so let's fill it with water and see. ”
"Scared~, why didn't I remember. Yang Ling stood up with some annoyance and went to pick up the kettle.
The water cup was placed on the coffee table, Yang Ling carefully poured the water into it, just when the water was about to fill, suddenly burst out from the water cup a wisp of golden light, the golden light of the stars rippled with the water in the cup, entangled with the sun in the air, like fireworks, and as the water in the cup gradually stopped, the golden light of the stars in the air gradually stabilized, turning into a golden dragon pattern that was about to fly, the dragon body was thirty centimeters long, three-dimensional, the scales were stacked, the hook claws were long, the head horns were grandiose, lifelike, under the sunlight, it seemed to want to break through the sky。
"It's so beautiful! It's amazing!" Sun Xiaojing's eyes widened, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaiming.
Yang Ling, on the other hand, looked at this qiē in amazement, couldn't believe his eyes, stood up with his mouth open, and slowly circled around the coffee table, finding that the dragon-shaped pattern looked different in different directions, which was simply a miracle.
Yang Ling didn't give up, poured out the water in the cup, and then looked at the cup, it was unremarkable, it was empty, and then poured water, and it was exactly the same as just now, and a dragon slowly and clearly appeared in the sun.
"Yang Yangling, where did you get this cup?" Sun Xiaojing's usual calm and quiet demeanor was gone at this time, and her mouth couldn't close in surprise.
"I said it's an ancestral heirloom, do you believe it?" Yang Ling couldn't help but be careful, and his liver trembled for a while.
The most important thing is that once the secrets of the miner system are exposed, it is estimated that the whole world will be in chaos, and a nuclear war may not be able to stop it.
"I believe you're a big-headed ghost!" Sun Xiaojing stared at his big eyes and gouged out his eyes fiercely.
"Hehe!" Yang Ling poured out the water in the cup with a wry smile, and asked thoughtfully, "Senior class leader, if you say it's sold, how much is it worth?"
"Sell?" Sun Xiaojing snatched the cup from Yang Ling's hand, "Are you in the eye of money, right? Look at you now, living in a big villa and driving a luxury car, are you short of money?" she thought for a moment and said with a somewhat confused look in her eyes, "This thing is so magical and mysterious, it can be called a national treasure, and it must not be sold." ”
"Can't sell it?" So this thing can only be seen and not eaten, what's the use of me keeping it?" Yang Ling pulled his hair in distress, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Senior class leader, why don't I give it to you!"
"Give it to me?" Sun Xiaojing suddenly turned her body and looked at Yang Ling with wide eyes, "Do you know how valuable it is, just give it to me like this?"
