"Loose Ancient Sword!"
At this time, under Yu Feibai's reminder, Wang Guan suddenly realized, and his fingers gently swept over the sword pattern, and sure enough, it seemed to be the texture of pine wood, which was very regular. Moreover, the blade of this pine-patterned ancient sword is extremely tough and sharp, and the edge has the effect of hidden serrations, and the lethality must be very amazing.
After weighing the pine pattern sword a little, Wang Guan approvingly: "Well, it's okay, it's good." ”
"It's okay to be good." When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately said with contempt: "This is obviously a peerless sword, I think you must be jealous and refuse to admit ......it."
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." Wang Guan smiled, not mentioning the Gongbu sword, so as not to hit Yu Feibai's self-confidence, and then he continued to sound: "You said that this is Wang Zhi's side-worn weapon, then it must have found Wang Zhi's treasure." ”
"If the so-called treasure is just this pine-patterned ancient sword, will you turn your face?" Yu Feibai asked seriously.
"No, it won't."
Wang Guan shook his head directly, and said truthfully: "It's just that I suspect that you have swallowed the treasure privately." ”
"Cut!" Yu Feibai snorted and said, "You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, am I that kind of person...... Actually, I really want to be that kind of person. ”
After sighing, a bright smile bloomed on Yu Feibai's face: "After all, my time was not wasted, and the hard work of nearly two months was worth it." The moment I dug up the treasure, I almost wanted to fly away and immigrate directly to the United States. ”
"What does this mean......" Wang Guanxi said, "The treasure is very rich? ”
"It's not just rich, it's just ......"
Yu Feibai was a little excited, and stretched out his hand to gesture: "There are many, many things, not only gold and silver treasures, but also many weapons." If it was in ancient times, it would have been possible to use those weapons to pull up an army of more than a thousand people. ”
"It's not strange."
At the same time, Qian Lao smiled and said: "According to historical records, Wang Zhi was engaged in smuggling activities and traveled between China and Japan. He even settled in Hirado, Japan, and hung up the banner of King Hui. There are at least more than 3,000 men. Such forces. It is also relatively normal to prepare a batch of weapons for backup. ”
"yes, that's normal." Yu Fei smiled with white eyebrows, and then sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, hundreds of years have passed, and those weapons have not been maintained, and most of them have rusted. There are only some more expensive weapons. Including this pine-patterned ancient sword, it is intact because it is properly placed in a sealed box. ”
"Weapons and stuff like that." Wang Guan waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about gold and silver treasures." ”
"Huh."
Yu Feibai was immediately surprised: "When did you become so obsessed with money?" ”
"Nonsense." Wang Guan rolled his eyes and said: "When you spend hundreds of millions of dollars and try the taste of being poor in a bank account, you will also become obsessed with money." ”
"I want to experience this kind of taste, if you give me a few hundred million first." Yu Feibai was also very unhappy. In his opinion, this is clearly a naked/naked show-off.
"Well...... this"
Wang Guan blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Didn't you say that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures, then there should be hundreds of millions." ”
"Huh?"
At the right time, Yu Feibai rubbed his chin and muttered: "I haven't made specific statistics, it's really hard to say." ”
"It's not simple, where did you leave your things, I'll count them." Wang watched his fists and palms. As he himself said. Now he is poor, and he has a great deal of gold and silver treasures in his account. Naturally, it's a little bit uplifting.
"Jinmen Pier!"
Yu Feibai said casually: "There are a lot of miscellaneous things, and I can't carry them for a while, so I just put them on the ship first." ”
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take a look."
While talking, Wang Guan called friends to attract friends, and then under the leadership of Yu Feibai, he came to Jinmen Wharf. Then they boarded a huge freighter, and the treasure was housed in the wide hold. Entering the cargo hold, all the lights were turned on, and everyone could see very clearly, only to see more than 20 large boxes stacked in the cabin.
Wang Guan walked in and took a look, only to see that each large box had been sealed with iron nails, and when he touched it with his hand, he felt that the box was very heavy, and he didn't know how many things were placed inside.
At the same time, Yu Feibai found tools and said with great interest: "Come here and show you some good things." ”
While speaking, Yu Feibai pried open a large box, and the moment he opened the lid of the box, a reddish luster immediately poured out, which was very eye-catching.
"What is it?" Everyone gathered around to watch.
"Red Coral."
At first glance, Wang Guan was also a little surprised: "And it's still a coral tree." ”
"It's beautiful."
The others couldn't help but admire. It is important to know that red coral is the highest status and most expensive of corals, and it is also the mainstream of corals in the market now. After all, the colorful red coral, for the Chinese who prefer red, red coral naturally has a special meaning, symbolizing auspiciousness and prosperity.
Coral trees, in particular, are not ordinary.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong and Wang Kai fought for wealth. Emperor Wu of Jin was Wang Kai's nephew, and he often helped Wang Kai. Once, he gave Wang Kai a coral tree more than two feet high, with very long branches, and the historical records said that the thing was a rare treasure in the world, and its value may be several times higher than that of pearl and jade.
This is also understandable, after all, things produce the bottom of the sea, and the ancients had a sense of ignorance and fear of the sea. Therefore, the coral produced in the sea must be regarded as a rare treasure.
And not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, coral trees are worth a lot. For example, the coral tree in front of me is more than a meter high, the color of the crimson is very gorgeous, and the branches spread out are as gorgeous as a peacock's screen, and the quality is perfect. Something like this, the price must be more than a million.
"Good stuff."
At this moment, a shrewd look flashed in Pi Qiushi's eyes: "Take it and ask the master of Mid-Levels to open the light, and then you can use it as a feng shui tree, and the price should be directly doubled." ”
"It's still Brother Pi who is experienced." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Write it down, let's do it." ”
Of course, in the big box, there are not only red coral trees, but also many bits and pieces. It is nothing more than ornaments such as gold and silver, and the workmanship is very delicate and more valuable.
However, what really makes people's eyes light up and can't help but indulge in it. Or a large chest full of gold and silver. The color of yellow and silver. It fills people with the urge to hold things in their arms.
Anyway, there are scientific studies that prove that according to the conditioned reflexes formed over thousands of years, human beings unconsciously beat faster when they see these two things, and it is difficult to resist the temptation in them.
It is better to act than to move, Wang Guan slightly stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of gold and looked at it. The gold nuggets are irregularly ingot-shaped, and there are also clear stencils. But it's a small king word.
This is not surprising, there is no doubt that these gold and silver were all minted by Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng, in private. However, in the minds of the ancients, it was not an honorable thing to be a pirate, so he habitually hid his name and called himself the king to the outside world, so as not to affect the villagers and elders. Therefore, it is a matter of course that a king's character is printed on the cast gold and silver ingots.
Besides. People call themselves the King of Hui, which means that the word "king" is not fixed. However, for everyone, the printed text is a subsection, and real gold and silver are the last word.
"It seems that the ancients understood that gold and silver were hard currency." At this time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "So among the twenty-seven large boxes, twenty are gold nuggets and silver ingots. ”
"What's left?" Wang Guan said curiously: "Jewel and jade jewelry? ”
"Almost." Yu Feibai nodded and said, "In addition, there are some well-preserved weapons, which I also brought back by the way." ”
"By the way, there's something you wouldn't have thought of." Meanwhile. Yu Feibai smiled happily and said, "Among Wang Zhi's treasures." There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings in the collection. ”
"Really?"
When Wang Guan heard this, he said with interest: "Where is it?" Are there any famous works?
"I didn't look closely. However, there are indeed a few famous paintings. Yu Feibai smiled: "It's just a celebrity at that time, and it may not be familiar now." ”
"I understand this." Wang Guan nodded in understanding, after all, Wang Zhi wanted to be elegant, and what he collected must be the poems, calligraphy and paintings of famous literati at that time. But celebrities at the time may not be celebrities now.
After all, the environment of each era is different, and the evaluation is diametrically opposed. Taking Cai Jing as an example, when he was proud of the spring breeze, there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for Mobao. But when he fell and was scolded as a national thief, then all the poems, calligraphy and paintings were burned, so very few authentic works have been handed down.
Of course, this is a political factor, but there is also a reason for the big waves. Some things were good at the time, but after a while, everyone suddenly found that this thing was not as good as they imagined, and they were naturally eliminated. Therefore, people are fickle, and as the times change, the aesthetic will also change.
However, it cannot be denied that Wang Zhi was mainly active in the Jiajing period, so the calligraphy and paintings he collected must have been from that era, or before that era. In any case, things have been handed down to the present day, and they are also antiques. Even if it is an ordinary literati work that is not well known, its value is not much lower.
Under Wang Guan's urging, Yu Feibai pried open a large box again. I saw that the spacious space in the box was indeed full of scrolls of different lengths, and it looked well preserved, with no traces of rot and insect damage.
At the right time, Wang Guan casually picked up a short scroll, quickly untied the rope, and then spread it out and looked at it carefully.
"Follow the Heavens!"
Everyone came closer to take a look and found that there were only these three big characters on the scroll. Wang Guan was a little surprised, and his eyes must have looked at the payment carefully, but it was the four characters of Dexing Guo Chen.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him." ”
"Who is he?" Tang Qinghua said inexplicably: "Is it very famous?" ”
"Flying pen Guo Panhu!" Wang Guan chuckled and said: "During the Zhengde years, he participated in the calligraphy selection and took the first place in the exam, which was praised by the whole country. By the time of the Jiajing period, he was already a great calligrapher who was well-known throughout the country, and was famous for his poetry, calligraphy and painting. At that time, it was indeed very famous...... (to be continued......
