Chapter 9 Tongbao Garden
As the name suggests, Tongbaoyuan is an antique market, as early as the end of the eighties of the last century, this market has been formed.
In the beginning, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, most of the vendors traded in the middle of the night, but later it became very lively after it opened.
The scale of the market is also getting bigger and bigger, even foreigners are admiring it, and it is the largest antique trading market in Beijing.
Xie Yun looked at his phone, and the [Mission] icon flashed non-stop, and it seemed that he didn't run here.
The crowd is surging, this situation is not much worse than Taobao Double Eleven, and there are a few shouts in my ears.
"Everyone, let me go, be careful when you touch my porcelain vase!" a strong man walked out of it with a blue and white porcelain vase in his arms, his eyes were a little hot, and he grinned.
These small stalls are arranged in a "king" shape, leaving a winding path in the middle, so that you have to pay attention to your feet from time to time, and you can't go fast if you want to. Xie Yun couldn't, so he could only walk slowly forward along the flow of people, the stalls on both sides were very simple, a piece of parchment about one meter or so, and some antiques were piled up on it, with a variety of varieties, whether it was Buddha statues, seals, gold and stones, or some porcelain, and there were some things that Xie Yun had never seen in his life.
Xie Yun swept around, and gradually frowned, wouldn't it be a needle in a haystack to find the magic weapon here.
It wasn't until he came to a corner that there were fewer people, Xie Yun didn't rush inside, but relied on his own feelings to observe carefully.
Not only from the clothes of these people, but also from the expressions of these people.
"There it is!"
I saw a small man in a yellow coat rubbing his hands together at an inconspicuous stall, and his heart seemed to be a little anxious.
Xie Yun came to his stall, squatted down, picked up a porcelain vase with very poor painting and said, "Brother, how to sell this bottle?"
The man's eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically: "Five yuan, no two prices." ”
"Huh, five pieces?" Xie Yun frowned, didn't reply immediately, and played with it quietly.
The man's eyes flickered, he looked Xie Yun up and down, and said, "Little brother, I think you should be the first time to come to Tongbao Garden." ”
Xie Yun was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said: "Hehe, I walked around, and you have the least things in this stall, but there are only five pieces, what do you mean?"
The man withdrew his hand, chuckled for a moment or two, and then remained silent.
Xie Yun's intuition was right, the person in front of him, the stall was so orderly, it was intentional, he was waiting for his prey, so the insider didn't stay in his stall longer.
Coupled with his dress and appearance, he is definitely not a local, and he looked anxious just now, there should be something that needs to be done urgently.
Xie Yun plucked up his courage and said, "I didn't come to you to see these things in front of me, let's take out other things." ”
The man took off his cap, flicked his fingers on it, and said, "Young man, you go, these things are not cheap." ”
Xie Yun was not only not annoyed after hearing this, but also a little happy, it seemed that he had come to the right place, took out the two thousand yuan in his pocket and put it in front of the man.
The man glanced at Xie Yun and said, "Young man, two thousand yuan is not enough. ”
Xie Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, pinched his wrist with one hand, and said coldly: "If it's enough, let's talk about it, otherwise I will look down on you, don't blame me for pinching your arm." ”
"Ho..." The man only felt a tightening of his wrist, and then an overwhelming force drilled into his heart, and his heart was beating in shock, thinking that he had met a master today.
"My name is Huangshan, not the Huangshan of AH, I am from the Central Plains, if you want to see it, I will show it to you, but there is one sentence I want to explain to you first, this thing is not something that ordinary people can use. ”
Huang Shan glanced around and carefully took out an item from his backpack.
I saw that the three layers inside and the three layers outside this object were wrapped in newspapers, and after slowly opening them, it was nothing else, it was a stack of rune paper.
The text on the rune paper is scribbled and messy, and looking at the color of the rune paper, it is also a few years old, let alone decades ago.
Huang Shan explained: "These things are all Maoshan Taoist priests, you can take a look." ”
Xie Yun picked up one of them, felt a little disappointed in his heart, looked at it twice and put it back, and said, "You should keep this thing, these are like ghost talismans, I can't use them if I buy them." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up to leave, Huang Shan hurriedly stopped, hesitated for a while, hammered his hammer hand and said, "Wait, I still have something." ”
I saw Huang Shan take out a crystal clear green bottle from his bag again, similar to a snuff bottle, half a finger high, and a vermilion round cap.
"Good thing, this snuff bottle is from the late Qing Dynasty. I saw an old man walking behind Xie Yun.
He was wearing a white and yellowed suit, a pair of rubber shoes under his feet, and his eyes were fixed on the bottle in front of him.
Seeing this, Huang Shan said, "Old man, don't worry, this little brother came first." ”
The old man behind Xie Yun lowered his eyebrows and kind eyes, and always maintained a sense of calmness.
For the appreciation of antiques, Xie Yun is a blind man touching an elephant and has no clue, but for things like magic weapons, if his thoughts are correct, he should have some feelings with this thing.
So the moment Xie Yun took the jade bottle, there was a ringing sound in the mobile phone.
Xin said: "This thing should be the so-called magic weapon, yes, but I found a small crack at the bottom of this bottle that is difficult to identify with the naked eye." ”
Xie Yun pointed to the bottom of the bottle and said, "Brother Huang, I see that there is a small crack at the bottom of this bottle, why don't you give it to me cheaply." ”
"What, bring it over and I'll take a look!" Huang Shan hurriedly took the jade bottle, took out a magnifying glass and looked left and right, and found that there was really a thin crack, slapped his thigh and scolded: "Damn, it's a big loss now, shit." ”
"Forget it, I'll give it to you, two thousand yuan, I won't sell it if it's less!" Huang Shan said angrily.
Xie Yun naturally didn't explain much to him, bought the bottle and slipped away, as for the old man behind him, he glanced at Xie Yun meaningfully, and after he left, he squatted on the ground and bought all the runes.
Along the way, Xie Yun was carrying the jade bottle, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, if he cheated people, his day's salary was gone, and he had to be with Yan Ni when the time came, what should he do, he couldn't let her pay for it.
Back home, Xie Yun took out his mobile phone and excitedly clicked on the software.
I saw that it was written above that this bottle is really a magic weapon, called the Phantom Cigarette Bottle, and the grade is the first level of yellow products, although it is broken, but it can also be used.
The bottle will contain some phantom smoke over time, and when the bottle is opened, the smoke will be emitted from the bottle, similar to the smoke bomb, but this smoke has a more confusing effect than the smoke bomb.
