Chapter 174: Wooing
After listening to Yan Xuan's words, Yun Kang nodded and said: "Most of the copper drums used in ancient wars were fierce weapons, and the charms on them could trap the ghosts, and women, children, and infirm people could not get close. This is the same as the blood-drinking weapons on the ancient battlefield, like the sword of King Goujian of Yue, which has been soaked in countless blood, murderous and awe-inspiring, blowing hair and breaking hair, extremely sharp. ”
For ancient objects, Yun Kang is like a number of treasures, from war drums to thunder drums and soul drums, all kinds of things at his fingertips, listening to several people present in amazement, even the people who drink next to him are attracted by him.
Only Shen Duo was silent, drinking a glass of stuffy wine, he had guessed that Yun Kang was the Witch Spirit King, but the Witch Spirit King he knew never liked to talk, not like Yun Kang to talk eloquently.
Shen Duo glanced at Yun Kang carefully, and couldn't help but start to have doubts again. Is Yun Kang and the Witch Spirit King really the same person, or Yun Kang wearing a blue light mask, it is a complete coincidence, because the personalities of these two people are too different.
As early as ten years ago, Shen Duo had worshiped the Wuling King as an idol, and every Qiē trait on the Wuling King became the target of his imitation, with a cold face, a deep character, a mysterious whereabouts, and hidden thoughts...... Those who possess these traits are the true Witch King.
And Yunkang has such a detached character, hanging, cynical, and likes to be lively, which is very different from the Wuling King, with a difference of 108,000 miles.
Shen Duo was thinking about these things, when he heard Yan Xuan's persuasion: "Yunkang, you have such a wealth of treasure appreciation knowledge, why bother to mix in the entertainment industry, isn't it a waste of talent to be a star?
Yan Xuan's "Kanyu Culture Research Institute" specializes in exploring ancient mysterious cultures, and the identification of antiques is also within the scope of research, because the more he looks at Yunkang, the more he likes it, and he loves talents, so he wants to join the research institute to help.
"Uncle, forget about going to the research institute, I'm not the one who does research. Yunkang poured Yan Xuan a glass of rice wine, and said in his heart: "To be honest, I'm really not interested in studying antiquities, I'm facing those gloomy and smelly things all day long, lifeless, and I've been half-dead myself for two years." ”
Yunkang easily mixed into the entertainment industry, just gained a firm foothold, and planned to mix in the circle in the future, but suddenly let him give up and change his career to identify antiques, which is not the lifestyle he wants.
What's more, there are all new things in the entertainment industry, full of excitement and fun, and every day is different. When I went to the Institute of Kanyu Culture and Culture, I could only be in the company of a group of nerds, playing with those old things in ancient times, in Yunkang's opinion, those studies were meaningless.
As soon as Yan Fucha heard that his father was wooing Yunkang, he hurriedly helped and tried his best to instigate him: "Brother-in-law, there are many dragons and snakes in this industry now, and real masters are too rare, and good things are not easy to come out. This antiquity is similar to Maxima, you need to have Bole's insight to see the pearl, otherwise it will be treated as broken copper and iron, what a pity, you won't watch the treasures become waste. ”
Yan Fucha praised Yun Kang as a master in a few words, and at the same time used the method of agitation, so that he had to be tempted to be a consultant.
How could Yunkang not hear what Yan Fucha meant, and glanced at their father and son in a blink of an eye, thinking that the Yan family was not short of money, what was the use of studying antiquities, it was better to take money to travel around the world.
Especially Yan Fucha, a promising college student, a rich second generation from a rich family, does not enjoy life while he is young, but wants to indulge in antiquities, and he doesn't know what to do.
Yan Fu didn't seem to be moved when he saw him, and couldn't help but persuade: "Now that I play with old things, they are all called literary play, and the experts in this industry are all quaint people." Brother-in-law, being a star is too vulgar, it's not a grade. ”
Yun Kang squinted at him, and said disapprerovitically: "What kind of elegant and vulgar, antiques you say it's elegant, in the past, it was a common people's homely object, but after a long time, it became the hall of elegance." Think about those cups, dishes, and dishes of porcelain, which point was elegant in ancient times for serving fruits and vegetables. Now I want to make a blue and white porcelain, I can't wait to offer it, and I put on the incense twice a day, and the whole is more expensive than the ancestral tablet, what is this? ”
He himself has survived from ancient times, so his view of antiquities is different from others, and he has never felt how precious antiquities are, and he does not understand that if someone sees a piece of porcelain and goes bankrupt and pounds it into his hands, isn't that sick?
After saying this, Yun Kang in turn persuaded Yan Fucha: "It is rare for young people to be interested in antiquities, studying these things is boring, and it is also dangerous to do this business in the future, if you want to make money, you can consider changing to another career." ”
An expert in pounding and appreciating antiques cannot be cultivated by sitting in a research institute. Book theories are only the foundation and scratch surface, and most of the experience is accumulated in actual combat. If Yan Fucha decides to do this business after graduation, he will not be able to stop in the future, like the danger he encountered in Wufeng Mountain last time, it will be a piece of cake.
And this kid's personality is skinny and urine, he doesn't want to let go if he sticks to Yunkang, and if he is in any danger in the future, he will definitely pull his cheap brother-in-law into battle and let his brother-in-law be a shield.
Everyone else is a cheating father, and Yan Fucha specializes in pit brother-in-law. What makes Yunkang most depressed is that he, who is a brother-in-law, used to be a fake couple with Yan Ruoxuan, but now even the fake couple has broken up, why is the brother-in-law still staring at his brother-in-law.
Sure enough, Yan Fucha pursed his lips and retorted very unhappily: "Brother-in-law, you seem to be comparing us with those antique dealers when you say this. Those people are engaged in this business to make money, I am to pursue my dreams, not to turn upside down, to engage in antiquities research, to burn youth, understand!"
Yun Kang looked at him with a straight face, and what he said was the same as the truth, and he actually made a burning youth, and he despised others for not dreaming.
His palms tightened, and he really wanted to pop out a flame immediately, ignite the bear child on the spot, and let him taste what it was like to burn youth.
It was easy to suppress the urge to ignite, Yun Kang did not laugh at Yan Xuancha, but turned his head to look at Yan Xuan and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing in this antiquities research, what are you trying to do, or what are you looking for?" ”
If they don't even have a goal at all, and don't know what to do all day, it's a waste of life.
Yan Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze became a little complicated, and then he used the strength of the half-drunk wine to tell some of the situation of the Kanyu Cultural Research Institute.
It turns out that the ancient genealogy of the Yan family can be traced upwards, and the ancestor was a doctor of King Xuan of Qi during the Warring States Period, and he was ranked among the people of the Qi State, and he was a famous naturalist.
This person is proficient in astronomy and geography, the sun, moon and stars, and the gossip of the five elements, and is famous in the Warring States Period, and founded the Yin and Yang School, which is extremely special in the knowledge of the sons of the Seven Kingdoms, and occupies an important position.
Listening to Yan Xuan's introduction, Yun Kang secretly pondered that the naturalists of the Warring States Period were, to put it bluntly, immortal scholars and stargazers.
At that time, the place where the people of Qi lived was close to the East China Sea, and their knowledge was far richer than that of the inland people, so the myths of cultivating immortals were also the most, and Penglai Immortal Island in the East China Sea was adjacent to the Qi country, and the kings and people of the Qi country cultivated immortals and cultivated the Tao, and there were indeed favorable conditions for the time, place and people.
In the late Warring States period, the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu, and Qi were the strongest and the most extensive, and the three vassal states all had the possibility of unification. But the people of Qi do not pay attention to practice, they talk about it all day long, talk about metaphysics and talk about immortals, from the king of Qi to the common people are fascinated by cultivating immortals and refining pills. Since their dreams are not in the real world, but in the fairyland world on the other side, many people are not attached to the great cause of reunification.
The state of Chu is a descendant of the Miao people, and the kings and people are addicted to witchcraft, and the witch immortals were the most prevalent in the state of Chu at that time, and there was a momentum to overpower the Yanqi Fangshi. The state of Chu attaches great importance to sorcerer divination, and both state and family affairs are based on sorcerer prophecy, and political and legal affairs are not developed, which affects the strength of unification.
The people of the Qin State originated in the west of Middle Earth, and the capital Xianyang Heights had a tendency to swoop, and the five elements belonged to the west of gold, and the main army fought from west to east, attacking from west to east, and was invincible with gold and wood. At the same time, the king of Qin legislated, emphasized agriculture, advocated that the whole people should retreat for agriculture, and advance for soldiers, and reused the talents from various countries, so he was finally able to conquer the six countries and unify the world.
But Qin Shi Huang pursued immortality all his life, and appointed Xu Fu, a Qi man, to go to the East China Sea to seek the elixir. In order to wait for the return of the elixir, he built a mausoleum to protect the body from destruction, and finally did not wait for the elixir, but because of the perennial pill pills developed a violent temperament, the people and money were lost, and the country was full of complaints, and he died in Qin II.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was still obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortals, and introduced witchcraft into immortal arts. Even a brave emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was almost ruined by the Immortal Cultivator Witch Gu, not to mention those wealthy families, and countless people who died and went bankrupt for the Witch Gu Immortal Law.
Yun Kang couldn't help but ask Yan Xuan, which master of his ancestral naturalist was, Yan Xuan stared for a moment, and said with a smile: "My ancestor is known as the grandmaster of the Yin and Yang family, and Dr. Zou Yan is it. ”
"Zou Yan?" Yun Kang was slightly stunned, of course he knew that Zou Yan was the ancestor of the Five Elements of Yin and Yang, and he invented the University of Virtue Transfer.
Regarding Zou Yan's establishment of Wude, he had talked to Qi Zhongqi before. Qi Zhonglu's surname is Qi because he is a descendant of the Jiang family of the ancient Qi Kingdom, and his surname was changed to Qi to commemorate the country's name. But Yan Xuan's situation is different, he and Zou Yan are not the same surname, how did this Yin and Yang family grandmaster become his ancestor?
As soon as Yan Xuan talked about Zou Yan, his eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled proudly: "My ancestor Zou Yan is a native of Qi and is very famous in the late Warring States period. After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he sent troops to find Zou Yan's descendants, hoping that he could refine the immortal elixir with the method of the Five Elements. Although Zou Yan knew the art of the five planets, he was not good at alchemy, so in order to avoid disaster, his descendants moved his family to settle in Yanbei and changed his surname to Yan. ”
Because of the ancestors, the descendants of the Yan family were naturally interested in the thaumaturgy of the Five Elements Bagua, and for generations they took the operation of antiquities as their business, and in the Qing Dynasty, they created the "Kanyu Antiquities Zhaifang", which was quite famous in the capital and the northeast, and cultivated many famous naturalist researchers.
Yan Xuan's great-grandfather worked as a foreign comprador during the Republic of China, and poured the antiques in the palace and the palace.
Later, most of the children of the Yan family went to live abroad, and only after the 80s did they return to China one after another, and the time-honored "Kanyu Antiquities Zhaifang" was changed into a non-governmental academic Kanyu research institution, and it was reopened.
In recent years, the Yan family has cooperated with the National Feng Shui Research Institute to establish the "Kanyu Cultural Research Institute", with Yan Xuan as the director.
