Chapter 666: Carrying the Burden
After listening to Tang Yi's words, Mu Wushuang's expression relaxed. After thinking about it, he said, "Oh! In this way, this graphic has nothing to do with the antique you are looking for, because this is a set of graphics handed down from our family, and I just think it looks good, and I have a lot of pride in the family, so I printed it on the business card. ”
"Family?" Tang Yi then asked, "The descendants of General Muying in the early Ming Dynasty?" It seems that you are a direct descendant. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Mu Wangfu also participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Mr. Tang also knows?" Mu Wushuang was slightly surprised, and pulled his hair in front of his forehead, "Forget it, I don't think you are lying, let me tell you, but I think it really has nothing to do with the antiques you said." ”
"This set of graphics, I heard my father say, is indeed the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also related to the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Qing Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and the descendants of the Mu family also knew that it was hopeless to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but this set of graphics was passed down from generation to generation. Just so, maybe the graphics are a kind of commemoration of the decline of the Ming Dynasty. I have never heard of the antiques you said, what kind of magic lamp, and I have never heard of it from my father. ”
Tang Yi combed through the memories of the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty in his mind and nodded, "Yes, at that time, Emperor Yongli fled to Mu Wangfu, and Mu Tianbo, the hereditary descendant of General Mu Ying, has always been loyal to him, followed him to Burma, and finally died with him, which can be said to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty." However, Mu Tianbo's son was cleared. ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so familiar with this history!" Mu Wushuang was even more surprised.
"I'm ashamed, I'm a student of history." Tang Yi thought to himself, this set of graphics should have been drawn by Emperor Yongli himself after he lost those things, and it should have been given to the Mu family before he went to Burma, otherwise it would not have been passed down. Although Mu Tianbo's descendants were cleared, fortunately remembered this set of figures.
"No wonder." Mu Wushuang said suddenly, "By the way, in addition to this set of graphics, there are also a few mantras, my father remembers very clearly, I heard him say a few times, it seems to be: Kunlun sunrise, the moon is like a pearl, the earth is clear, and Bixi (sound) bears it." ”
"Oh? Did your father explain that? Tang Yi hurriedly asked.
"My father didn't know what it meant. It is said that although the figure was handed down at that time, only the ancestor of Mu Tianbo, the protector of the lord, knew the meaning of the mantra, but he died for the country and never passed it on to future generations. As a result, only the graphics and mantras were handed down. ”
Mu Wushuang frowned, and said, "That's all I know, in fact, fortunately I don't know what it means, otherwise this is a family secret, even if you help me, I won't tell you." Now, this set of graphics has become nothing more than a memory and a memento. I almost can't remember this set of formulas. ”
"I'm thankful for that, and I basically understand it. In the end, I have to make sure, is the money you are talking about, is it a bully? Tang Yi asked again.
"I don't know what 'Bixi' is, it's a mantra, I only know the pronunciation. What are you talking about? "Mu Wushuang has lived in Myanmar for a long time, and it seems that he doesn't know much about these things.
"You should know that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, right?"
"I know that."
"It is one of the nine sons of the dragon, also known as Baxia, the dragon's head and turtle body, carrying a stone stele, and is often used as a stele base. Folk also have the meaning of longevity and auspiciousness. ”
"Oh, that's the!" Mu Wushuang smiled embarrassedly, "Answering your questions, I also learned from you by the way." ”
After chatting a few more words, Tang Yi and Wen Jia took their leave. There was a lot of delay in this store, and they were going to go directly to the door, and when they arrived, they contacted Lin Huanting and Zheng Wu.
And that translator, in Mu Wushuang's shop, before identifying Kangxi Cowpea Red Glaze Laihuazun, Tang Yi had already let him go first. Translated into the car in the parking lot at the door, and was waiting for them with the driver.
While walking, Wen Jia said again, "The stump is a dragon's son, so burdened, and he has carried the stele over the years, and the mantra says, 'The earth is strong, and the stump is carried'." From this point of view, could it be that this Yellow Palace is a stone tablet? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Jia shook his head again, "Impossible, how can you put a stone tablet in the location of the Xuanhuang Divine Lamp?" ”
"I'm thinking about this too, and it doesn't seem to make sense that steles are generally erected to refer to the earth." Tang Yi didn't have a clue for a while.
"And this figure is obviously elliptical, how can there be an elliptical stone tablet?" Wen Jia pointed to the graphic on the business card and said, "Yes, it's still a clue to guess!" I think it's going to have to be something that gives us a flash of inspiration someday! ”
"An oval-shaped stele?" Tang Yi took the business card, and his heart suddenly moved, is the oval-shaped inkstone considered a stone tablet? Ancient bricks, tiles, polished into an oval shape, are they considered stone tablets?
However, this was only a temporary thought, and he quickly denied it in combination with the characteristics of the Xuanhuang magic lamp. He put away his business card, and the thoughts in his head popped up one by one, and one by one they were denied.
"Tang Yi!"
Just as I was about to get involved, I suddenly heard a greeting from the front. It turned out that Zheng Wu and Lin Huanting had the same plan as them, and they also thought of contacting them again at the exit, but they didn't expect to run into them halfway.
"Wen Jia also bought something?" Lin Huanting looked at the box in Wen Jia's hand.
"I bought more than one." Zheng Wu looked at the Huang Xueba beads that Wen Jia hung on his wrist.
"Huh." Wen Jia smiled, "I really like this Huang Xueba, this box is a string of amber, Tang Yi helped the boss identify a Kangxi official kiln, and someone gave it away." ”
Zheng Wu glared, "Hey, don't pick up the leak, change it to white!" ”
Tang Yi retracted his thoughts and glanced at Wen Jia, "Master Wen is still not satisfied, what else is the porcelain that is several million yuan, and the appraisal fee starts from 100,000 yuan." ”
"Hahahaha." Zheng Wu and Lin Huanting laughed.
"What did you buy?" Wen Jia saw that Lin Huanting was empty-handed, but Zheng Wu was carrying a sturdy plastic bag.
"I didn't buy it, he did!" Lin Huanting said, "Don't you carry this!" ”
Wen Jia opened the bag and looked at it, and it was actually a stone the size of two fists, "I'll go, you haven't bought enough of the public market?" Why did you buy jadeite rough again? ”
When Tang Yi heard this, he thought, yes, could it be that in this market, Zheng Wu found some of the best? However, after stepping forward to look at it, Tang Yi understood, because this was not a jade rough, and then he looked at it.
"This isn't a rough jadeite." Zheng Wu saw Tang Yi look at it carefully, and knew that he had seen it.
"This stone looks ordinary, if it's not a jade rough stone, why would you buy a stone?" Wen Jia picked up the stone and looked at it, it was black, a bit like a coal block, and there were a lot of honeycomb-shaped places on the skin, so I really couldn't see anything.
