Chapter 3 Eight Immortals Ghost Market

After resting at home for a few days, the jet lag finally reversed, playing chess with the old man at home every day, drinking tea and chatting, eating home-cooked food made by his mother, teasing the two baby sisters, Li Mobai's life was extremely comfortable.

Life at King's College is extraordinary, but how can it compare to the joy of being with your own family?

"Mo Bai, the jet lag has finally been reversed in the past few days, right?" After dinner, the family watched TV together, and the old man suddenly asked, the old man looked kind and kind, and he was in good spirits, not at all like an old man who was almost eighty years old, and people who were not familiar with it thought he was in his sixties!

"Grandpa, you see that my body is very good, and I can still use jet lag, and besides, this body is still conditioned by your old man, you have to have confidence in your grandson!" Li Mobai raised his arm, made a bodybuilding star posture and smiled, "Hehe, do you have any instructions from your old man?" Your grandson and I will definitely do it, no matter how swords and fires we have! ”

"It's not in shape, it's still a sword mountain and a sea of fire, how can you talk to grandpa!" Mom patted Li Mobai's head and scolded with a smile.

"If you don't get in the way, young people should be energetic, the times are changing, we can't stick to the rules, we have to keep pace with the times!" Although the old man has a serious patriarchal style, he is still very open-minded, and after a pause, he said, "Then let's go to the Eight Immortals Nunnery with the old man tomorrow, I haven't been to visit for a long time, let's compare our eyesight!" ”

Baxian Nunnery is a well-known antique market in Qincheng, every weekend, the whole Baxian Nunnery area is crowded, the lights and shadows are full of lights, it is a good place for Qincheng antique lovers to "Taobao". The so-called ghost market originated from the "not being a person, but only being a ghost", who took out the stolen things and sold them while it was dark, which is often called "not seeing the light". Because it was traded before dawn, there were merchants who took advantage of the darkness to sell some unsightly fakes, and the buying and selling were all carried out in the dark, and the transactions between the two sides were all based on wishful thinking, so it was called the "ghost market".

After liberation, the ghost market was banned, but after the reform and opening up, the ghost market gradually developed again. Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and the ghost market has completely become synonymous with the sale of private cultural relics, with more and more people who like to collect, as well as people who are eager to get rich overnight under the promotion of film and television works and businessmen, the cultural relics vendors will seize the psychology of cultural relics lovers to detect leaks, and the ghost market will be vividly interpreted to the end, in fact, the ghost market is a mixed place, fakes are mostly or are big road goods, and occasionally there is no shortage of good objects, but the price of the hawkers is much higher than the actual market value, and the real heavy weapon will never appear in the ghost market. Of course, it is very common for hawkers to sell treasures as garbage without recognizing them, and now there are ghost markets in many places, among which the ghost markets in Yanjing, Qincheng, Tianjin, Nanjing and other cities are the most famous.

"Hehe, old man, it's dark and blind in that place, you always be careful of getting eye drops!" Li Mobai smiled and made a joke with the old man, but he knew in his heart that this was the old man's intention to check his eyesight, and the ghost was Taobao, but it was all based on his eyesight. The so-called eye drops, which are often called eye-punching in antique shops, are buying fakes.

"Hmph, the objects that can make the old man and me eye-catching will not appear in that place! But you kid, I don't know how much progress has been made in the past few years! "When people get older, they are like children, they are competitive, and they are so competitive.

……

"Ha, old man, you really have the spirit of dragon and tiger, you want me to see, let's find a wife, the quilt is warm fast in winter!" At about four o'clock in the morning, Li Mobai completely completed the self-cultivation that he had insisted on practicing for more than 20 years under the old man's high pressure, and suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and turned around to wash, but found that the old man was standing at the door in good spirits, watching himself practice self-cultivation.

"Stinky boy, no big or small, you dare to make fun of my old man, increase your ability, or I'll scratch you, old man?" The old man raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Mobai's strong muscles and said again, "Yes, it seems that in Britain in the past few years, I have not disappointed the old man." ”

For the ghost market of Baxian Nunnery, Li Mobai is no stranger at all, starting from a small age, the old man took himself here to practice his eyesight, until he came here alone to practice Taobao to earn pocket money, and the first time the eye hit happened here, after being discovered by the old man, it was a good training, it was a lifelong unforgettable memory.

The grandfather and grandson came to the Eight Immortals Nunnery together, but the situation was very different, the follower of the fart back then is now a man who is close to the age of establishment. Looking at the ghost market full of lights and shadows, the feeling has never changed, it is still so kind, as if it is back to the old man holding his little hand, pointing out all kinds of things that seemed strange at that time in secret words.

"Come with me, or go separately?" When he arrived at the realm, the old man asked a little narrowly.

"Hehe, let's go with the old man, I feel like I was back then!" Li Mobai thought that he hadn't followed the old man's ass to the ghost market for many years, and he missed that feeling very much, not to mention that the old man was old, and he didn't worry about the old man wandering around the ghost market alone.

"Hehe, it's really my grandson, miss the old!" The old man was also happy, knowing his grandson's worries, "But with me, you have to be careful to go back empty-handed!" ”

"Hehe, I'm worried that you're always blind, so I'll give you a heads-up when the time comes!" The grandfather and grandson are at loggerheads, refusing to give in to each other, and they are happy.

"Hey, it's a pity for your father, the tradition of my Li family, he is blind!" Just as he was talking and laughing, the old man suddenly remembered his son and sighed.

"Grandpa, don't think about it, in fact, Dad is doing well now! A little old man in his fifties, but he still looks like a middle-aged man, and my mother, who went out with me, I didn't know and thought it was my sister! So, the little old man is actually quite happy! Li Mobai knew the pimple in the old man's heart, and quickly diverted the topic.

"Haha, why is this kid getting poorer and poorer now, with you boasting like this!" The old man was also amused, and raised his hand to knock on Li Mobai's head, Li Mobai quickly shrank back, but he was still knocked squarely, "Okay, don't be poor, you're in the world, let's compare our eyesight!" ”

The two of them talked and laughed, but they didn't forget to get down to business, so they looked at them one by one, the old man was fully equipped, with a strong flashlight and a high-powered magnifying glass, and he looked at it with interest as he was fully armed. When I saw the objects I was interested in, I looked at them carefully, and my professional style did not diminish at all.

Walking in the ghost market, from time to time someone whispered to the old man to say hello, but Li Mobai is already very few people know, the fart worm back then, and the little fallen master has now grown up Chengren. Follow the old man and take a big look, all the stalls are basically fake, even if there are old objects, they are all ordinary goods, and none of the objects can be seen. Nowadays, Li Mobai's eyesight is not comparable to that of the past, from a distance, you can see seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and since he was born, he has been soaking in the old man's special medicinal bath for twenty-six years, and the visual, auditory, tactile, smelly, and taste exercises are very comparable, otherwise the old man will sit in the corner of the wall and draw circles and curse the old ancestor bastard.
