Chapter 1: The Divine Beast Pixiu

Next Chapter

In the Panjiayuan Antique Market in Yanjing City, in a pawn shop called "Fengyuantang", Li Tianbao was listlessly wiping the glass of the counter.

Since coming to work here a month ago, Li Tianbao and this sixty-five-year-old appraiser Gui Qiren have been very close to each other, perhaps because Li Tianbao is an orphan without a father or mother, and Gui Qiren happens to be alone without children and daughters, so within a few days, this master accepted Li Tianbao as an apprentice.

Although Gui Qiren is not a master of identification, but he has been in the industry for more than 40 years, he has never looked at ordinary things, if Li Tianbao is willing to work hard to learn this appraisal craft with an open mind, he will definitely hold the handle in his hand.

Although Li Tianbao is clever, he doesn't put his mind on this at all, as long as he gets off work, he goes out to eat, drink and have fun with a group of fox friends and dogs, but no matter how muddy he is, he respects his master like his own father.

The owner of "Fengyuantang" is called Zhang Xiaoqi, and he knows that he is a typical stingy ghost when he hears the name, he rarely comes to the store, so the normal business is basically in charge of Li Tianbao and Gui Qiren.

"Tianbao, are you here so early today?" Gui Qiren said with a relieved face after entering the door.

"The master is here, I'll pour you tea." Saying that, Li Tianbao was going to pour tea.

"Tianbao, you can rest, I'll go out and buy breakfast, and we'll eat together in a while." Saying that, Gui Qiren turned around and walked out, but before Li Tianbao could open his mouth to stop him, Gui Qiren disappeared. Helpless, Li Tianbao had no choice but to continue to tidy up the counter.

Suddenly, a jade pendant in the corner attracted Li Tianbao's attention, and it was still shining through the glass. Because the jade pendant was placed too close to the corner, Li Tianbao had never found it before.

The pulp on the jade pendant shows the age, although the texture is ordinary, but the two divine beasts carved on it are lifelike, and the smart posture and expressive expression are the icing on the cake.

The two divine beasts connected from head to tail are like Taiji patterns, the two divine beasts have no other difference except for a single horn and a double horn on their heads, they both have a pair of wings on their bodies, and their bodies are also covered with fine scale armor, their mouths are very large, as if they want to absorb something, and their sharp claws and teeth will fully reflect their ferocity. The twist tail scattered behind is even more ingenious.

"With horns on the head, wings on the back, and a twisted tail, isn't this Pixiu!" Of course, Li Tianbao knows this shape, this is the legendary Pixiu, and the ancient Pixiu shape does have a single horn, and it was not until modern times that all the Pixiu shapes became a single horn. Pixiu is the son of the dragon, feeds on jewelry, only eats without leaking, and people have taken it as a symbol of fortune and treasure from ancient times to the present.

Although Li Tianbao didn't learn anything, he also learned something under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Although this Pixiu is the son of a dragon, he is more capable than a dragon, and can swallow all things, especially eating jewelry, so he is deeply appreciated by the Jade Emperor and keeps it as his pet. The Jade Emperor's pet is of course more generous than other divine beasts, and it can enjoy all the treasures to its heart's content. As soon as he said, Pixiu was sleeping on the Dragon Chair of the Jade Emperor, and because he had just eaten too much, he discharged dirt on the throne in his sleep. The Jade Emperor was very angry when he found out, and slapped Pixiu's buttocks, which was good, and since then Pixiu has no anus, and can only eat and not excrete.

"Wow, it's so run, it's not a woman's ** to this extent." Li Tianbao held the jade jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it vigorously, and involuntarily hummed eighteen touches in his mouth, obviously looking self-absorbed.

"Li Tianbao, what are you doing?" The boss Zhang Xiaoqi's yin and yang weird tone came, interrupting Li Tianbao's silver word tune.

I don't know if it's because Zhang Xiaoqi's sissy tone is too lethal, or the jade pendant in his hand is too lubricated, in short, Li Tianbao heard the cracking sound of the jade pendant after it came into contact with the floor, and looked down to see that the jade pendant had been split into two sections.

"Ahh OMG! Oops! ”

After three sighs that made people extremely collapse in a row, Zhang Xiaoqi pointed at Li Tianbao's nose and said, "You bastard, this jade piece is worth more than 100,000 yuan, you dead thing!" ”

"**Speak with your voice straight, don't be a sissy tone, I'll get angry when I hear it, master." Li Tianbao has long been fed up with this Zhang Xiaoqi's yin and yang strange voice, not to mention counting himself one by one, usually he and the master are good here, but I didn't expect this guy to have an accident as soon as he came.

"Yo Yo Yo! What kind of attitude do you have, what kind of attitude, you break my things and it's so horizontal, I don't think you can do this job. ”

Zhang Xiaoqi had long seen that Li Tianbao was not pleasing to the eye, in his eyes, Li Tianbao did not understand antique appraisal, and he was not a beautiful woman who could attract customers, if it weren't for the old appraiser Gui Qiren who had been helping him speak, Zhang Xiaoqi would have fired him a long time ago, at this time Zhang Xiaoqi just took advantage of the topic to play, and his purpose was not only that.

Li Tianbao is a quick temper, don't look at the master Gui Qiren is obedient, even if others are the king of heaven and Laozi, he is not worried. Li Tianbao threw the rag in his hand to the ground and said, "**I thought I was willing to serve you sissy, if it weren't for the fear that my master would be too tired, I would have quit doing it a long time ago." ”

Zhang Xiaoqi stretched out his hand to stop Li Tianbao, who wanted to leave, and said sharply: "You don't want to do the work, but you can't leave, you have to compensate me for my losses." ”

Li Tianbao heard that this guy was going to make himself lose money, and you still want to ask me for money this month. Li Tianbao sat down on the sofa and put on an indifferent look, and said: "If you don't want money, if you don't want it, the master won't give it to you, what can you do to me." ”

At this moment, Gui Qiren walked in with two bags of buns, and seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Li Tianbao, "Tianbao, what's wrong?" ”

Li Tianbao said everything just now, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqi walked up to Gui Qiren and said fiercely: "Look at the good things you have done as an apprentice, don't say that I am stingy, if he doesn't lose money, I will deduct it from your salary." ”

"Fuck you, you dare to embarrass my master, you can find me if there is anything." Li Tianbao stood up and glared at Zhang Xiaoqi angrily.

Zhang Xiaoqi put his hand in front of Li Tianbao and said, "If you want it, 100,000 yuan, bring it." ”

"Boss Zhang, this thing is the price I set, obviously it is 10,000 yuan, do you want this child to pay less." Gui Qiren lowered his airway.

Zhang Xiaoqi clasped his hands to his chest, first "hummed", and then continued: "What I do is trading, of course I have the final say on how much things are worth, in short, if he can't afford to lose, I'll look for you." ”
