PS: I owe more 11,000 this month, and I will make it back next week.

Taoism was one of the hundred schools of thought in the Warring States Period, but it really developed into a sect after the emergence of the Heavenly Master Sect in the late Han Dynasty.

After hundreds of years of development, the religious form of Taoism was gradually perfected in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, in order to beautify the Tang royal family, the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu was enshrined as the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism entered a golden period of development.

There are also many schools of Taoism, and at present, the most famous ones are the Quanzhen Sect and the Zhengyi Sect, which developed from the Heavenly Master Sect and integrated the Maoshan, Lingbao, Qingwei and other sects.

is similar to what is said in "Shooting the Condor", the Quanzhen Sect did appear in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty and was founded by Wang Chongyang, but the most famous in its religion is Changchun Zhenrenqiu.

At the age of 74, Qiu Chuji went to the Western Regions to persuade Genghis Khan to stop killing the people, and he was famous all over the world, and then because of many martial arts works such as "Shooting the Condor", he became almost universally known, and it can be said that he is a banner of the Quanzhen Sect.

Just now, Li Yi was not suspicious when he got the portrait at the beginning, but he habitually verified his judgment with the spirit identification card, but he didn't expect that the spirit identification card actually gave him two identification conclusions.

One, naturally, is the information of the portrait of Wang Chongyang. This portrait was made by a Taoist priest with the Taoist name Xuanchenzi during the Republic of China, and it is not a too rare thing.

But the other one surprised him very much, because it was a silk work from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and the picture was Huang Gongwang's "Live Sermon Map", which depicted the scene of Changchun Zhenren preaching to Genghis Khan!

Huang Gongwang was a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty, and together with Wu Zhen, Ni Zhan, Wang Meng and others, he was called the "Four Yuan Families" and was respected as the head of the "Four Yuan Families". His most famous masterpiece is "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and that work has also become famous because it was once put on the big screen by the handsome old man Liu.

If these are the only things, it only proves that this silk work is more precious, and it does not associate it with Taoism. But the completion time of this work and Huang Gongwang's other identity let Li Yi know that this work is definitely a treasure for the current Quanzhen Sect. Because, Huang Gongwang converted to the Quanzhen Sect when he was middle-aged, and he is a big idiot!

He is a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect!

Because he was curled up in the scroll, although Li Yi saw several lines of inscriptions in the upper right corner of the portrait, guessing that he should be able to see the origin of this work from it, he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture now, so he could only wait for a while to return to the hotel and take out the silk before he could know the whole picture.

However, there was no way to explain these things to Ma Weizhong, so Li Yi just said a few vague words and changed the topic, and although Ma Weizhong had doubts in his heart, Li Yi didn't say it, and he couldn't help it.

The three of them played in the Eight Immortals Palace for about an hour, tasted a Taoist meal, and were about to rush to Chang'an antique shopping mall to take a turn, Li Yi suddenly received a call from Zhong Haoqing, her old man was finally able to find time to come to the party, and the person had already arrived in Chang'an!

Li Yi hurriedly told Zhong Haoqing the address of the hotel, and then several people hurriedly returned to the hotel.

Zhong Haoqing was in good spirits, and after a brief chat, he knew that the two of them had originally arranged to go to Chang'an Antique Mall, so he couldn't help but be interested. She has been taking Li Yi as an apprentice for so long, and she has never visited the antique market with this apprentice who often picks up big leaks that scare people to death, it seems that now is an opportunity.

Ma Weizhong saw that the two of them seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and found an excuse to leave, while Zhong Haoqing took Li Yi and went straight to the Chang'an antique shopping mall after a simple grooming.

"Master, we ......"

Li Yi knew that Zhong Haoqing was only proficient in the appraisal of ancient paintings and calligraphy, but the others did not have too deep research, so he wanted to ask her what she was going to think.

"It's okay, you just don't exist for me, you can shop as you want, I just want to see how you picked up those big leaks."

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be a little embarrassed, Zhong Haoqing smiled and said:

"What? Have a secret, afraid that the master will steal the master? ”

"No, I'm just afraid that your old man won't be able to stand it then......"

"Stinky boy, I really don't believe it, none of the people in this baby scene can find it, and I'm waiting for you to pick it up! Hurry up, if you can't pick up a big leak today, you won't be allowed to eat at night! ”

The layout of Chang'an antique shopping mall is not much different from that of antique shopping malls in other cities, with counters on the first floor, and independent shops from the second floor.

The biggest difference between the counter and the store is that you can't just look at whatever you want, so in the past, when Li Yi's eyesight was not good, he had always rarely patronized, but this time, he decided to start with the counter, anyway, with his speed, this hundreds of square meters of business area should not be long.

"Boss, take this out and I'll take a look."

didn't look at a few counters, Li Yi fell in love with something, and when the boss took it out, Zhong Haoqing frowned when he saw it, it was actually this thing?

The boss took out this piece, called Taiping Che, also known as the hand wheel, which is a facial massager used by people in ancient times, and now it is also very common in some small jade pieces.

The shape of the Taiping car is similar, generally in the shape of a T-shape, the horizontal head is a roller, and there is a long handle in the middle through the middle of the roller, and the roller rolls back and forth at the acupuncture points on the face, which can promote the blood circulation of the face, so as to achieve the effect of beauty.

Rollers are commonly used in ivory, agate, jade and other natural materials, precious, the handle may also use gold, silver, jade and other materials, the Qing Dynasty compiled the medical book "Yizong Jinjian" has been specially introduced, "skin dark spots, commonly used jade grinding, a long time to fade."

Li Yi doesn't know when the Taiping car started, but he knows that the massager with more luxurious materials only gradually began to rise during the Qianlong period, and since then, almost every concubine in the Qing Palace has a few pieces, and if there is nothing to do, he or let the palace maid roll twice on his face, the beauty effect is not known, but it should be no problem to relieve loneliness.

Li Yi noticed that this Taiping chariot was mainly because of its rare materials, its rollers and handles were made of cloisonné enamel, and the parts connecting the rollers and handles were pure gold, which should be an old Qing palace object.

Cloisonné enamel is what we often call cloisonné, cloisonne is said to have originated from the "big food kiln" in the Arab world, in the 13th century, brought back to China by the Great Yuan Empire that swept through Central Asia and Europe, and during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, its technology gradually matured.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, cloisonné has always been an exclusive luxury item of the imperial palace, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, it gradually appeared as a commodity in the people, and almost all the products at that time were used for export, which is still very rare in China.

After carefully checking the tread of the Taiping car, and gently rolling it on the back of his hand twice with the Taiping car, Li Yi activated the spirit card, since this piece may be used by the concubine, then, maybe the spirit card can also give the user's name.

A meager cool air flowed through, and the Jianling card really gave the name of the former owner of this Taiping car, but when Li Yi saw this name, even with his composure, he was still taken aback, because this was actually Yehenara. The things that Xingzhen uses!

When it comes to Yehnara, the name Empress Dowager Cixi will inevitably come to everyone's mind, yes, Cixi's original name is called Yehnara. Xingzhen, this Taiping car is actually something used by the Empress Dowager Cixi!

"Boss, how do you sell this Taiping car?"

"600,000."

600,000? Zhong Haoqing raised her eyebrows, but she couldn't help but speak. She knows cloisonné and knows that most of them are old things in the palace, but this Taiping car is so small, and it looks very average, it costs 600,000 yuan when she opens her mouth, and she really can't buy anything in the current market.

"600,000? How much does it cost? ”

Li Yi said as he picked up the magnifying glass that the boss had placed on the counter.

This Taiping car, if it can really be confirmed that it is Cixi's thing, this price can be regarded as a small omission. But if there is no money left on the Taiping car, just by virtue of the appraisal of the spirit card, no one will believe that it once belonged to Cixi, then the price is a bit high.

After carefully looking for a while, Li Yi shook his head in disappointment, it seems that this is another thing that only he himself is sure of its origin, but even so, he can't miss it.

"If you really want to, 580,000. Brother, the Taiping car of the concubine of the Qing Palace is not unusual, and the cloisonné material is really rare, at least I have been in the antique business for so many years, and I have only seen this one. ”

The boss saw that Li Yi had finished reading the thing, and quoted a new price, but it was only 20,000 yuan cheaper.

"The price ......"

Li Yi groaned while playing with the Taiping car, and suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face,

"320,000! If you operate this thing, you should have understood its price, even if the general gemstone material is only 300,000 at most, your piece is indeed special, so I will add 20,000 more. ”

The boss shook his head, took out another thing from the counter and put it in front of Li Yi,

"If I could sell it at this price, I would have sold it a long time ago. In this way, the price is 480,000, if you can accept it, you will take it, if you can't accept it, you will look at the others, I have a lot of good things here, and this bronze mirror is also from the Qing Palace. ”

Li Yi grinded a few more words, but the boss bit the price very hard, and finally had to obediently pay 460,000 yuan to buy this Taiping car in his hand.

After getting this thing, Li Yi picked up the bronze mirror that the boss had just put in front of him and looked at it carefully.

This is a bronze hand mirror, which is a small round mirror with a handle that can be held and looked after by hand.

Compared with the bronze mirrors that Li Yi has seen before, this bronze mirror is also a rare object, its mirror ring and mirror handle are carved from a piece of red sandalwood as a whole, and the copper mirror inlaid in the mirror circle, its back, is also a sky blue cloisonné enamel, on the top, with copper wire pinched out of the fruit plate, vase, bird stand and other palace furnishings, it looks very luxurious.

After carefully inspecting several parts, Li Yi handed the bronze mirror to Zhong Haoqing, and then asked:

"How do you sell this?"

"I won't talk about the false price of this piece, if you really want it, 680,000."

Li Yi touched his chin silently, normally speaking, this price is more affordable than the quotation of the Taiping car just now, but if it is just a thing used by the nameless concubine of the Qing Palace, it is still a bit high, because he just appreciated the boss's brain, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense with him,

"650,000, take the achievement, if you don't succeed, you can take it, and I'll turn around."

"Okay, 65 is 65!"

This time, the boss was more cheerful and made a deal directly.

After swiping the card, Li Yi held the Taiping car, Zhong Haoqing held the bronze hand mirror, and Gu Feng, who followed behind the two, held the two boxes and left the counter together.

"Xiaoyi, what do you say about these two pieces?"

Although Zhong Haoqing usually doesn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, after all, he runs a big pawn company and auction house, and vaguely knows that Li Yi's price is not cheap, so he stopped after taking a few steps.

Li Yi saw that she hadn't put the bronze mirror into the box just now, and knew that she must have something to ask, and now seeing that she really asked, he smiled and said:

"Master, wait a minute, I'll check the information."

took out his mobile phone, called up Baidu, and after entering a line of Chinese characters, four Manchu characters were immediately displayed on the Baidu page.

"Master, look, these two Manchus are Yehenara, and these two are Xingzhen."

Zhong Haoqing stretched out his head to take a look, and raised his eyebrows,

"You said this bronze mirror was something that Cixi used to use?"

"Well, not only that bronze mirror is, but also this Taiping car, otherwise I wouldn't have paid such an expensive price!"

"It's impossible, if there was a deposit on it, others would have found it a long time ago, or did you find something special?"

Li Yi nodded, pointed to the position holding the ring above the handle of the bronze mirror and said:

"Master, look here, is it a phoenix?"

Zhong Haoqing nodded.

"Then look at the feathers of this phoenix, what do they look like?"

Zhong Haoqing looked carefully for a while, suddenly "Huh", took the mobile phone from Li Yi's hand, compared it carefully, and said:

"Xingzhen?"

"Well, the handle of this bronze mirror, as well as the swallow of the connecting parts of the roller wheel and handle of this Taiping car, although the texture of the two phoenix feathers is not the same, if you know Manchu, you should be able to recognize the word Xingzhen. According to the pulp and style of these two things, it should be able to conclude that they are from the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in the harem of the Qing court at that time, there was only one person called Xingzhen, and that was Cixi! ”

"Shhh Can you frequently pick up leaks, and sure enough, it's not just luck, just say that this Manchu text, how many appraisers can recognize it? ”

Zhong Haoqing took the Taiping car from Li Yi's hand, and at a glance saw the phoenix at the swallow on the left, its tail feathers were really very similar to Xingzhen's Manchu, and he couldn't help but gasp, today, the master is going to be an apprentice!

"These two things...... If it is put up for auction, one piece will be at least 2 million, and if the two pieces are auctioned together, I estimate that it will not be possible to get it without 5 million! Xiaoyi, you have picked up another big leak! ”

Zhong Haoqing carefully put the two treasures in his hand into the box that Gu Feng was holding, and then put his hand behind his back, let's go, see how many surprises you kid can bring me.

After looking at more than a dozen counters, Li Yi never made a move, and she didn't even stop, Zhong Haoqing was not in a hurry, she followed him all the way around, her heart was peaceful, she hadn't felt this way for a long time.

After turning around for a while, when the hall on the first floor was almost finished, Li Yi suddenly stopped, and then asked the boss to take out a dark red big round box from the counter.

Tick red, also known as carved red lacquer, red carved lacquer, is one of the Chinese lacquer craft, the specific method is to take wood ash, metal as the fetus, in the fetal bone layer by layer of red paint, less than eighty or ninety layers, as many as one or two hundred layers, to the considerable thickness of the sketch, and then carved patterns.

This technique has been very mature in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the subsequent Ming and Qing dynasties have reached an almost perfect level, among which the fine products are worth a lot of money.

The boss took out this big round box of red, with a diameter of about 22 centimeters, the paint color was dark red and nearly black, on the surface of the box, carved with a cloud dragon with teeth and claws, hair and beard, the cloud dragon was surrounded by clouds in the shape of wish, and in front of it, it was a round pearl, the cloud dragon was volleying into the claws, wanting to incorporate the pearl into the palm.

Li Yi carefully studied the carving for a while, then turned the box over, and saw the retention at the bottom of the box at a glance, Daming Yongle New Year!

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

"3.2 million, an old object in the Yongle period."

"3.2 million?"

Li Yi's brows slowly furrowed.

"Little brother, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person, I don't ask for this price."

The boss took out his mobile phone, simply tinkered with it twice, then brought up a page, looked at it twice, and handed it to Li Yi.

"You see, this is the auction price of some red lacquerware, and my piece, whether it is in condition, age or size, is not worse than them, that is, I am not willing to pay that commission, otherwise it would have been auctioned earlier."

Li Yi took a look at the mobile phone and found that it was a promotional page of an auction company, which listed the auction information of more than a dozen pieces of red lacquerware, the most expensive was a Ming Xuande red peony pattern large cover box auctioned in 12 years, the transaction price was 2.99 million, and the cheapest was a red peony pattern round box with a Ming Yongle New Year inscription auctioned in 13 years, and the price was 2.07 million.

"Nowadays, young people are very dependent on the Internet, so I have saved a few URLs for a long time, how about it, I don't want much of this thing, right?"

Li Yi shook his head with a smile and returned the phone to the boss,

"Let's talk about the real price, the thing looks good, but the price is really high."

"Hehe, the decoration of Yongle carved lacquer is generally the most common flower pattern, followed by the character pattern, and the dragon pattern is the rarest. This piece is precisely the dragon pattern of catching the pearl, and you look at this size, as well as this carving, to be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't make a business today, I wouldn't have shouted this price at all! ”

"Even if there are fewer dragon patterns, you are 800,000 higher than the average price of Yongle red above! It's too high! ”

"It's not high, little brother, if you look at these dozen pieces, you don't see the dragon pattern at all......"

The two tugged for a while, Li Yi took down this lacquerware at a price of 3 million, and Zhong Haoqing, who had been standing next to him, saw that he had bought another thing, and couldn't help but shake his head with emotion, this one is cheap! (To be continued.) )
