What is Ding?

The important weapon of the country, the ritual weapon, the artifact.

In ancient times, Dayu cast nine tripods and divided the world. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the Son of Heaven had nine tripods, the princes had seven tripods, the Qing doctors had five tripods, and the scholars had three tripods. As for the common people, they are definitely not qualified to use the tripod.

Although in the beginning, Ding was just a utensil for cooking food in ancient times. But with the development of the times, the meaning of the tripod began to gradually evolve and became a symbol of power.

So in ancient times, Ding was also a very taboo thing for ordinary people. Without a status comparable to it, whoever dares to cast a tripod in private is definitely a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family.

That is to say, since ancient times, Ding has only been circulated in a small area, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.

Of course, modern society is enlightened, as long as you have money, you can just cast a tripod at home, which is not a difficult thing. However, the modern casting tripod and the ancient tripod are completely different concepts. In terms of value, it's a world of difference.

Anyway, seeing this tripod, Qi Xiang was very excited, carefully cleaned up the tripod body, and then looked at it intently.

This look is more than an hour. During this period, Qi Xiang behaved like a drunken man, devoted himself to his body and mind, and completely forgot himself, let alone took care of Wang Dong and others.

Wang Dong and the others stood by and waited, and found that Qi Xiang had no intention of stopping, which was also a torment for them. After all, they were half drunk during the day, and at night they climbed mountains to carry things, and they were half tired to death.

It's around two o'clock in the morning, and it's the perfect time to sleep.

Wang Dong couldn't hold it anymore, let out a big yawn, and then covered his mouth and said, "I'm going to sleep, you guys...... Leave one to guard outside, and let the rest rest. ”

As soon as Wang Dong left, the remaining few people looked at each other, and then dispersed in a hurry.

There was one unlucky man left, who had to stay behind for the vigil because he was running slowly. But he was not stupid, he directly brought a long chair to block the door, and then lay on the chair with half-squinted eyes.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one else in the room except Qi Xiang himself.

It took a long time for Qi Xiang to wake up from his addiction. He looked left and right, only to find that there was no one around, so he took off his gloves and threw them away, slowly twisting his neck.

He felt tired, but he also felt fulfilled.

After all, Gu Ding like this is generally a national treasure, and he is a small player, and he usually has no chance to contact it at all. Now I can watch it up close, and I am naturally fascinated and completely immersed in it.

"It should be a real thing, but I don't know the specific age......" Qi Xiang said to himself: "Spring and Autumn? Warring states? Forget it, when you go back, let Boss Jiang ask another master to appraise it. ”

Qi Xiang is very self-aware and knows that he doesn't have this ability to appreciate. It's good to be sure that this is the real Gu Ding. For something as difficult as dynastic, it's better to leave it to experts to study.

Rubbing his neck for a moment, Qi Xiang was a little relieved, his body was relatively tired, but his spirit was full of energy, without the slightest sleepiness. Soon, his gaze shifted to a pile of scattered things next to him.

Although the things are fragmentary, there is no doubt that they are also antiquities.

Qi Xiang was a little curious, and walked lightly to take a look.

A bunch of things, mostly jade miscellaneous pieces, jade rings, jade bi, jade brown, and pieces of knife coins.

Qi Xiang swept over, but his gaze froze slightly, landing on a piece of jade the size of a fist.

That piece of jade seems to be a jade, without any carving, unpretentious, gray-brown in color, a little muddy spots, very ordinary.

However, it was this piece of jade that gave him a very strong impulse. It was as if in the dark, there was an intuition that told him that this piece was too important to be missed......

Qi Xiang was a little confused, picked up the piece of jade with his hand, and when his fingers touched the jade, his heart immediately fluctuated, and there was an indescribable throbbing.

"What's going on?" Qi Xiang was shocked.

At this moment, Qi Xiang suddenly felt a numbness in his fingers, as if he had been electrocuted, and an arc of light jumped up in the jade, making his hand tremble, and he wanted to throw the jade out.

At the same time, he immediately saw a flash of brilliant electric light appearing inside the jade. The gray-brown jade immediately became crystal clear, as pure and transparent as crystal, and it was jeweled.

In an instant, the light was as bright as a snake of electricity, more like pervasive mercury, seeping through his hand, and then winding up his arm and into his brow.

Qi Xiang only felt that his eyebrows rose, and then his eyes went dark, and the sky was spinning. However, he did not fall into a coma, but felt that his mind was blank, his thinking was very slow, and he turned into paste, and the whole person was stupid.

In a trance, ethereal......

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt a shock in his eyebrows, and a wisp of heat flowed out, rolling like beads in his body.

Between the rolling air currents, he felt that his body was gradually heating up, and his qi and blood were stirring.

With every churning and turbulence of qi and blood, his whole body became warm, and the pores of his skin were gently dilated, which was very comfortable.

This kind of light, fluttering, swinging feeling is very fascinating.

The qi and blood are turbulent, and the spirit is also swaying.

The senses of hearing, touch, and spirituality spread out all at once, as if an amplifier had been added.

Faintly, Qi Xiang felt as if he could catch the traces of air movement, and the soft night breeze blew outside, "slipping" in the crack of the door, bringing up a little dust.

The man who was guarding the door was also asleep, swallowing his throat from time to time, scratching his face unconsciously, and sleeping restlessly.

A wisp of wind swept by, slowly reaching the end of the corridor.

In that direction, it seems that someone is talking......

“…… Rest assured, boss, that we've got this done, and he doesn't have the slightest suspicion. ”

"Yes, yes, we led him directly to the tomb and let him watch us move things out......"

“…… Everything is real, and he changes one of the things, and he can't see the quantity. ”

“…… Foolproof, absolutely foolproof. ”

"Okay, okay, contact ...... again"

The sound stopped, and the room returned to silence. A moment later, there was a tossing and turning movement. It was a long time before the sound of breathing stabilized, and it was clear that the man was asleep.

At this time, Qi Xiang's heart was shocked, and he also woke up from this mysterious state. He looked down, but saw that the lump of jade in his hand had turned into a pile of powder.

However, he didn't care about studying the reasons for it, and immediately fell into deep thought......

The night passed quietly, and the next morning Wang Dong and the others got up one after another and gathered together again.

"Brother Qi, you really haven't slept all night?" Wang Dong's eyes were a little different.

"It's not that exaggerated." Qi Xiang was in good spirits and said with a smile: "After you went to rest last night, I also fell asleep. ”

"Oh." Wang Dong didn't doubt it, after all, looking at Qi Xiang's complexion, it didn't look like he had stayed up all night. Then his eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Brother, you watched it last night, what do you think of these things?" ”

"Good ......" Qi Xiang said sincerely: "Every piece is a fine product." ”

"My brother has vision." Wang Dong gave a thumbs up.

Qi Xiang smiled, and the words changed: "It's a pity, ......"

"What a pity?" Wang Dong hurriedly asked.

"It's a pity that it's a water head (stolen goods), it's not easy to shoot!" Qi Xiang chuckled: "And in terms of price, it is even more difficult to estimate." ”

"Ha, haha." Wang Dong was relieved and said very arrogantly: "If the price is something, let Boss Jiang look at it, presumably he will not let our brother work in vain." ”

"It's nature." Qi Xiang smiled indifferently: "But Boss Jiang is very busy, and before I came over, he also handed over the bargaining matter to me." Brother Dong, if there is something to offend for a while, please bear with me. ”

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, then became more enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier." Let's go for a walk and have breakfast......"

"I'll go back to breakfast." Qi Xianghuan pointed with his hand: "Brother Dong, you can make a price for these things." ”

"Brother, talking about money hurts a lot of feelings." Wang Dong waved his hand and said, "You name the number, don't treat us badly." We don't care if it's more or less, we should just make friends. ”

Wang Dong was polite, but Qi Xiang didn't relent, and directly slashed a big knife: "100,000? ”

"Sizzle......" The corners of Wang Dong's mouth twitched, and he had a toothache. His group of younger brothers were even more dumbfounded, feeling that Qi Xiang was too dark and definitely a big profiteer.

Even if everyone knows that these things are shady stolen goods, the price must be very low. But I never expected that Qi Xiang would be so black-hearted and thick-skinned, too shameless.

"Ahem......" Wang Dong smiled bitterly, and had to break his word and change his words: "Brother, don't you think this price is ...... Is it a little less? ”

"100,000 is already a lot." Qi Jiao analyzed: "Brother Dong, you don't know, the current market of antiques is really not as good as a year. In the past few years, there were many sky-high prices. But now, it's basically gone. ”

"In the words of experts, it is the return of investment to rationality, and the overall market is falling."

Qi Xiang shook his head and sighed: "What's more, these things are too clear and obvious, at least they will have to be shelved for many years before they can be shot." Considering the factor of inflation, the money will not be worth much after many years, so 100,000 yuan is really a lot now. ”

A group of people were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, there are such brazen people in the world who talk nonsense with their eyes open.

Wang Dong couldn't help frowning, and said with patience: "Brother, you have to talk about your conscience when you are a man, and this tripod alone is more than 100,000." ”

"This ding?" Qi Xiang shook his head again: "Brother Dong, are you a layman, in fact, this Ding is not worth much......"

Wang Dong's anger surged to Tianlinggai, and he was forced to press back, barely squeezing out a smile: "Brother Qi, you are laughing." This is Gu Ding, how can it not be worthless. ”

"Of course, Guding is valuable, and it can even be called priceless." Qi Xiang sighed: "The problem is that if this thing is dug up by the state, it is only valuable." In private hands, you can't put it on the table at all, you can only enjoy it yourself......"
