You Fang secretly said in his heart: "Since you have today's sigh, why bother to separate from Wu Lao in the first place?"

It seems to be sacrificing Liang Sicheng, but in fact, he is worshipping Wu Pingdong more in his heart, right?

At the same time, he was also very touched, seeing the stunned expressions of Yang Chengbin and Ai Xiaocong, does this monument really not exist? No, it's just that they can't see it! He could feel that Xue Qinan was not reciting the inscription, but staring at the empty place and "reading" the inscription, is this the unique "cultivation" that the best archaeologists today have accumulated throughout their lives?

One of the most important purposes of You Fang coming to Yibin is to experience the way of "condensing the sword intent with divine consciousness and spiritualizing it into a real form", and the scene in front of him seems to have nothing to do with the secret method, but it shocks him greatly! Even the experience of the subtleties of the heart disc is vaguely helpful. 【】

There is this place in Wu Lao's hand-painted transcripts. There is also this monument. There is also a small print mark next to it. Mr. Liang Sicheng had passed away at the time of his painting. The tablet is also missing, but he painted it anyway.

As soon as he thought of this, You Fang suddenly "saw" that there was a stone tablet there, which was suddenly as true as it was drawn by Wu Lao, and he could even clearly see the inscription on the tablet, which was impossible for Wu Lao to draw in a pencil hand drawing, and it was the first time he heard Xue Qinan recite it just now.

His consciousness had been in a state of incomprehension, and he immediately woke up and did not reveal anything abnormal. I didn't have a heart plate and I didn't run any secret methods, how could I have this illusion?

Recently, there has always been a feeling that the laws are like illusions, could it be that the cultivation of the secret laws has reached an unknown juncture again, or is there some other reason?

After Xue Qinan bowed and saluted and recited the inscription. Naturally, You Fang stepped forward and bowed to the non-existent monument. As soon as he bowed, Hua Youxian bowed without saying a word, Shen Sibao glanced at Xie Xiaoding, and bowed side by side. Wu Yushi looked at You Fang and the others, and then saw that her grandmother had been looking at her, blinked, and stepped forward to give a deep salute.

Xue Qinan smiled at this time, and on the way to Li Zhuang, her expression was as plain as water.

There are still a few kilometers to go to Lizhuang Ancient Town Scenic Area from Chestnut Pass, Ai Xiaocong and Yang Chengbin drank a lot yesterday, and they were busy until late before going home, and today they got up early in the morning to bring Feng to pick up people, and at this time in Muli, the two couldn't help but yawn. You Fang asked, "Have you been to Li Zhuang many times?" ”

Section Chief Yang asked and answered with emotion: "I can't remember how many times I've been here, and whenever there are important guests, I will accompany them to Lizhuang." ”

You Fang: "I see that you are very tired, you don't need to accompany us in today, with Mr. Xue here, in fact, we don't need a tour guide, you and Miss Ai can stay in Mu and have a good rest." ”

Ai Xiaocong raised his hand and said, "I'll go in with you." This time is different, accompany the handsome guy to visit the ancient town, and have another feeling. ”

You Fang smiled: "Look at you, your eyes are bloodshot, you need to take good care of your spirits, otherwise you will have dark circles under your eyes." ”

Ai Xiaocong took out a small mirror from Kun's bag with some concern and looked at it, and then said to You Fang:

"Have you always been so gentle with girls?"

Before You Fang could answer, Xie Xiaoding hurriedly said: "Brother You Fang is a friend of my cousin, he is very good to everyone, and the first thing I persuaded just now was Section Chief Yang to pay attention to rest." This sentence was said to Ai Xiaocong, but the corner of his eye involuntarily glanced at Wu Yushi.

At this time, Xue Qinan spoke: "Xiao Yang, Xiao Ai, You Fang is right, you don't have to accompany us, take care of your spirits, these two days have been really hard!" …… I am a native of Yibin, I have been to Lizhuang many times since I was a child, and it is for art sketching and historical site research, this time I want to tell the children about this place in person, no need for a tour guide.

In the end, he did not let the two local officials accompany him, Xue Qinan led five young people into the ancient town of Lizhuang, and Section Chief Yang led people to visit without buying tickets, but now he went directly to get six tickets and handed them to them as a souvenir of the visit. The scope of the ticketed scenic spot does not include the entire Lizhuang Town, and for the purpose of historical site protection and tourism, many residents of the original ancient town have moved to the periphery.

Before entering the tourist area, there are many newly repaired antique buildings on both sides of the training, all kinds of shops have been opened, and there are vendors carrying various handicrafts on the road and at the entrance of the scenic spot. Their demeanor is very distinctive and quite good. Walking together is very eye-catching, and there are many small vendors who come up to sell all kinds of souvenirs.

It is not easy to get rid of the entanglement of the hawkers in front of the ticket office of the ancient town scenic spot, which is relatively open and has a lot of tourists, or queues up to buy tickets, or take pictures, or rest and chat in twos and threes, or gather in groups to count the number of people, in short, it is very lively. They were walking through the crowd when they were stopped by a hawker again.

The peddler was about 30 years old. Burly with a burly face and a white complexion, he listened to the accent like a native of Sichuan, and came to You Fang's side and said mysteriously: "Boss, do you want to buy antiques?" The ancient sword dug out of the ground, I don't want to hand it over to the government, if I know the goods, I will sell it to you, what a sword! ”

As he spoke, the man took out something from a canvas pocket on his body, and the hilt of the sword in his hand only showed the scabbard, which was a dagger-like sheathed short sword, about the same length and size as Qin Yu of Youfang.

Depend on! You Fang has heard a lot of this kind of talk in Panjiayuan, and it is all to fool the layman. There are many folk collectors who have heard a lot of Taobao wealth stories, hoping that they can become such lucky people, and they are looking forward to the cheap price of picking up leaks all day long.

But this person's business seems to be in the wrong place, ordinary people will not look for "antiques" of unknown origin at the gate of the scenic spot, everyone is here to travel, not to visit the cultural relics market to Taobao. Unless the price is so cheap that it is about the same as a modern imitation with a clear price, someone will buy and play with the psychology of not being deceived, but then it will not sell for a good price. Nothing to gain.

This trick is only most effective for the kind of layman who is just getting started and thinks he is an insider, and things have to be done like the same thing.

You Fang felt a little funny, he was really looking for the wrong person to do this in front of him, and he wanted to use all kinds of fakes at home and abroad to slap out all of them, I'm afraid it would be too difficult! Digging out of the ground? Look at the calluses on the hands of the peddlers, and there is no trace of the hoe at all.

These are small details, if you want to deceive people, you have to be like a point, the scabbard is obviously new, look at the craftsmanship is not bad, is the dug up thing still equipped with the modern craft scabbard of the commission?

You Fang also felt a little strange, the most eye-catching and high-return rate among the six of them was of course Wu Yushi, and he was neither like the richest nor the best to cheat, how could this person find himself in business? But at this moment, he didn't have time to entangle with the hawker, so You Fang made an impatient look and waved his hand: "Don't buy, don't buy, don't bring money!" "Walk forward.

The peddler followed, stepped forward and said, "Don't lie to you, it's really an antique, I don't believe you, look at ......" He had already drawn his short sword, but he didn't say anything but let out a "oops", the sword was gone.

It doesn't matter if you take business, how can you let the fence pull out the murder weapon at such a close distance? As soon as the sword was unsheathed, he reached out and grabbed the man's wrist holding the sword, and whispered, "What do you want to do?" If you don't buy it, you don't buy it, so many people still want to commit murder and robbery in broad daylight? ”

The hawker's arm was weak, half of his body was numb, and the short sword couldn't hold it down, and it was picked up by You Fang, and before he could speak, the people next to him let out a "huh" together. When You Fang stretched out his hand, he already felt that something was wrong, and looked down. In his hand, it was really a well-preserved and extraordinary ancient sword in the world.

This short sword is actually a dagger. The blade of the sword is less than 20 centimeters long, and in ancient times it was also a sharp weapon hidden in the sleeve or placket, and the small sword has two seal characters cast into the word "green feather", a square straight pen seal, the style of the Ming Dynasty utensils, and its appearance really looks a bit like a cyan feather.

The blades on both sides are not straight, there is a small arc that converges to the tip of the sword, and no matter how well preserved the ancient sword is, it is impossible to shine like new, but there is no rust, as if it is covered with a layer of hazy mist. Look carefully at the surface of the sword body and there are still lines emerging, which is commonly referred to as "loose lines", the more obvious lines are like waves, and the more hidden lines are like snowflakes, which can only be faintly seen when they are reflected.

With only eyesight, You Fang can also see that this bottle of ancient sword is probably something from the Ming Dynasty, and it has another appearance with divine sense. This thing was indeed unearthed, and the unearthed time was not long, probably less than a year, and it was very well preserved. What's even more special is that it is not an ordinary sword. It is a spiritual blade, a weapon that is difficult to find by secret masters!

Someone has used it to kill a lot of people, it doesn't seem to be very sharp, but the sword body is condensed with a faint fierce intent, and in the hot day, he holds it in his hand, concentrates his breath, and the hairs on his arms will stand up inexplicably, and he already has spirituality.

The so-called spirituality of the artifact is of course impossible to be as exaggerated and unbelievable as Qin Yu of Youfang, it is a unique material property that has been accumulated and condensed naturally or artificially in the process of building and the long experience, just like the inanimate artifact has its own character.

The spirituality of this sword is very weak, of course, far less than Qin Yu, but in the hands of the master of the secret law, it can continue to raise the sword and make it a magic weapon. This kind of thing is rare and not very easy to come across. In the eyes of the master of the secret method, the value is far greater than that of ordinary antiques, and it is almost impossible to let go of them when they see them in the market.

You Fang's divine consciousness is in a state of concealment, and does not take the initiative to disturb and operate the surrounding earthly qi. However, when the earth's atmosphere in the environment changes with various physical properties, there is a reaction immediately. Just now he had a preconceived idea that this peddler was fooling the layman. Didn't pay much attention to it. When the peddler took out the sword, the hilt was completely held in his hand, the blade was in the sheath, and you could not see its original appearance.

And it was obviously impossible for the peddler to use secret methods to stimulate the spirit of the sword and intrude on the environment for You Fang to notice, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. Wait until the sword is drawn. fell into his own hands again, of course You Fang could sense it clearly, and he was secretly taken aback.

You Fang's heart was shocked, and his divine sense immediately sensed the faint whistling sound of the sword in his hand. This is not an illusion, but someone has touched it with the secret method of the unique Nine Star Palace, which stimulates its spirituality. Shen Sibao did it very cleverly and concealed, if it weren't for the sword in his hand, You Fang wouldn't have noticed it at all. It seems that this descendant of the Nine Star Sect, after a few temptations, has completely regarded You Fang as an ordinary person who does not know secret methods.

Xue Qinan, who was in front, turned around and saw the sword in You Fang's hand, sighed, and blurted out:

"What an antiquity."

Shen Sibao also stretched out his hand and said with great interest: "Show me." ”

You Fang handed the sword to Shen Sibao. The vendor rubbed his wrist and shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Look, how is it? I say it's an antique! You are also knowledgeable, and since you can recognize it, give a price. On the other hand, he couldn't hide a little smug look.

You Fang glanced at the other party from his forehead to his feet, looked at the vendor carefully, like a treasurer who has been visiting the women's market for a long time, frowned slightly and asked in a reserved tone: "Where did this thing come from, and what happened to the scabbard?" ”

Xiao Ming lowered his voice and said: "The foundation of the repaired house was dug out and put in a wooden box, the box is rotten, this sword is quite good, and the scabbard is matched." ”

You Fang: "How much do you want to sell?" ”

The peddler's eyes glanced at both sides, leaned closer and opened a hand and said: "This sword is special, you will cry at night, it is a very valuable treasure, since you know the goods, I will give you a real price." I'm running a business and I lack 500,000 capital, so this sword will sell for 500,000! ”

Half a million? You Fang chuckled in his heart. A possibility suddenly came to mind, related to a famous ancient story. In the seventh episode of "Water Margin", "The flower monk uprooted the weeping willows, and the leopard's head strayed into the White Tiger Hall", Lin Chong went shopping and met someone selling weapons and bought a treasure knife at a very cheap price.

The scene described in "Water Margin" is very similar to the current scene, when Lin Chong was shopping with Lu Zhishen, someone was selling knives on the street, but he deliberately only stared at Lin Chong, a "person who knows the goods", it was obviously a treasure knife, and Lin Chong bought it with a few thousand. Looking at the later plot, this knife is actually a bait, a chess piece set by Gao Yanei and others to frame Lin Chongbu.

Is the hawker's asking price high or low? It's hard to say, because the price of antiques varies greatly depending on the condition. Don't look at the current Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain and ancient famous calligraphy and painting market is so hot. Basically, they are all deliberately fried, like this ancient weapon, if it is not in good condition, I am afraid it can only be sold for a few thousand yuan in the industry.

This short sword is quite well preserved and in extraordinary condition, if you really want to make an insider price, it should be at least 100,000, although it is not as exaggerated as the layman thinks, but it is already very good. In fact, the transaction of this kind of thing mainly depends on the psychological position of the buyer and the seller, and the bargaining capital, and the transaction price is not certain, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The asking price of 500,000 is naturally outrageously high. Laymen don't know it, and insiders won't buy it. But this sword is not an ordinary antique, it is a spiritual blade, much more valuable than a short sword of the same age and the same quality, depending on whether you know the goods or not. If you are a collector with a keen sense of spirituality, or a master of the secret method, you will never let go of it if you meet it, and 500,000 is quite low!

If you see this sword in another place, such as in the Panjiayuan antique market, you Fang will find a way to buy it anyway, 500,000? I don't have a counteroffer in my heart! The only thing I am worried about is that I am afraid that the boss who sells the goods will have suspicious flaws and regret not selling.

The so-called priceless treasures in this world, as long as they can be traded on the market, are actually valuable. It depends on the willingness of the buyer and the seller. As far as You Fang is concerned, he is definitely willing to spend more than one million, as long as it is not more than two million, he will happily buy this sword. As for the higher price, it's not that the sword is necessarily not worth it, but he can't afford it.

But at this time, the tour party was very cautious and had already become suspicious of this vendor. The things that stop passers-by to sell in this place are usually cheap overseas Chinese handicrafts that don't cost more than 50 yuan, who will spend 500,000 yuan to buy things here? The only seemingly reasonable explanation is that this person is a nearby resident, who does not understand the market and attention to antiques, and really digs up the treasure and runs to the gate of the scenic spot to try his luck in a place where there are many outsiders and rich people.

But You Fang obviously didn't think so, this peddler was holding a spiritual blade, so many people didn't look for it, but stopped in front of him, and quoted an outrageously high and low price of 500,000 yuan. If you think it's an antique. Of course he wouldn't buy it, if he was a master of secret arts, encountering this kind of thing was equivalent to pie in the sky, even if the vendor was unwilling to sell it, he would definitely try to buy it.

It's very likely that this man is testing him! This spiritual blade is the stone that throws stones and asks for directions.

If so, is the peddler tempting him or is he tempting them? Who instructed and for what purpose? Xiao Youzi thought of so much in a blink of an eye, but on the surface, he remained silent, showing an expression that was both interested and felt very worthless: "500,000, what about you robbing money?" Up to the most. It's worth 50,000 yuan! Fellow. I can tell you, you have met an insider today, our family is in the antique business in Panjiayuan, Beijing! ”

You Fang's price is really ruthless, even if this sword is traded in Panjiayuan, it is worth more than 100,000 yuan. But there is one point, here and now, the origin of this thing is unknown, and it will take a lot of effort to deal with it after buying it back, which is to press the reserve price of the goods received in the bank. Don't think that things like appraisal certificates, where to sell them, and matching transaction tickets are not valuable, they are also part of the value of antiques.

Suppose this sword is put in New York. With the nod of an internationally renowned expert like Xue Qinan, it may be no problem to ship from there and sell it for 100,000 US dollars. But at the gate of Lizhuang Scenic Area, I bought it from a sneaky vendor, and if the other party was also an expert, I would understand that You Fang was calling the price to death.

You Fang quoted this price, which obviously meant that he thought it was a real ancient sword, but on the other hand, he didn't see it as a spiritual blade at all.
