Chapter 52 Provincial City Cultural Relics Street
As soon as the Spring Festival passed, many of the Sandaogou villagers who returned home a year ago packed their bags one after another to continue their annual trip. At this time in previous years, Wu Dao was undoubtedly one of them. But with the income of the farm, it is far more lucrative than working outside, and he naturally does not have to go out to work this year.
After the Lantern Festival, Wu Dao also began to go home for the first time to the provincial capital. Regarding the invitation of the Ma family, although Wu Dao did not understand, the Ma family, which had such a prominent position in the Han River. Why did he deliberately invite a country boy like him to participate, the kind of banquet where high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen gathered. But the invitation cards have been sent, and if you don't go, it's a little unkind.
Thinking of Ma Gongcheng's father who passed the birth this time, but the official worshiped the head of the organization of the provincial party committee, Wu Dao also took a lot of effort when choosing a gift. Originally, in his opinion, it was perfect to send two dragon trout. I can think of what my uncle told me about the news that dragon trout can improve the physique of martial artists.
He decided that if he didn't have the ability to protect the fish that he had so hard to get, he wouldn't sell one outside. Therefore, the idea of giving fish as a gift naturally has to be abandoned.
I really can't understand that the Ma family can be said to be rich and powerful. He is a rookie who has been cultivating for less than a year, and he really can't get anything good. In the end, there was really no way, so he could only buy a gift box containing ginseng at the Chinese medicine store in the county. He took out a hundred-year-old ginseng from the space ring and put it in it as a gift for this birthday.
In fact, for Wu Dao, he was really reluctant to give such a valuable century-old ginseng. In addition, he deliberately checked the online information about the century-old ginseng. It is clear that the price of wild ginseng in China has always been much higher. It is even more difficult to find this kind of ginseng that is more than 100 years old.
As for the ginseng that he took out from the ring that was just over 100 years old, if it was put on the market for auction, the price was estimated to be at least one million. For this reason, with such ginseng as a favor, Wu Dao was still a little reluctant in his heart.
But the problem is that if a family like the Ma family invites him, if he doesn't have anything to offer, it will indeed make Wu Dao feel a little embarrassed. Sometimes, Wu Dao also knows that when he does this, he is a bit dead to save face. can think of this kind of ginseng, giving it out is far more heartfelt than the dragon trout, and it is not enough to make people guess too much about his origin.
Anyway, Wu Dao knows that the big man has lived a life in recent years, and the price of antiques collected casually is also around one million. The value of this ginseng is almost enough, so in the end, he decided to give ginseng as a gift.
After choosing the gift, Wu Dao greeted his family a day in advance, and set off to take the shuttle bus in the city. When you arrive at the county seat, you will change to a shuttle bus to the provincial capital. As for the evening, he decided to find a hotel in the provincial capital for the night. After going to the birthday banquet tomorrow, I will immediately return to Sandaogou Village.
As his cultivation gradually improved, Wu Dao finally understood why it was difficult to see some very high-level martial artists or even immortal cultivators in the world. The main reason is that cultivators who are accustomed to enjoying a quiet life of cultivation. I don't like a lot of people or lively places, plus the aura of heaven and earth in big cities, there are far fewer than in the wild.
For cultivators who are bent on improving their cultivation realm, they naturally don't like to run to such a crowded and lively place. In this regard, Wu Dao, who had already reached the peak of the eighth order of the Qi Cultivation Realm, also began to have a detached temperament on his body. For this reason, if it wasn't for Ma Gongcheng's special invitation, he would not have joined in this kind of fun.
In addition, when he went to the provincial capital a day in advance, Wu Dao also wanted to go around the cultural relics street in the province to see if he could find some cultivator items that were regarded as antiques. Since opening the space ring, Wu Dao finally understood that the world of cultivators was probably a mysterious place that he could not explore in his life.
In order to be able to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, Wu Dao urgently needed to understand the past and present lives of these immortal cultivators who were called immortal cultivators by modern people. Learn how magical each level of cultivator is. As for the relics left to him by the Venerable Herbs and Trees of the Master of the Next World, more of them are only suitable for the cultivation of cultivators above the Jindan stage.
Now he is a rookie who has not even reached the foundation building period, and he can only look at the precious wealth left by those masters, and sigh with joy. But if he wanted to explore the relics and the world of cultivators, it meant that Wu Dao had to carry out a cultivator's traveling career.
Just thinking that most cultivators obey the rules of the law of the jungle, Wu Dao didn't want anything to endanger his family's safety in his cultivation career in the future. Therefore, before the foundation building period, he was able to make protective jade pendants for his family, and he did not dare to step out of the small village that raised his family and himself at will.
Although from his uncle's words and the search on the Internet, Wu Dao found that the deeds of Huaxia about cultivators, that is, immortal cultivators, were difficult to trace at all. But Wu Dao has always had a hunch that this Huaxia, which has a history of 5,000 years, will definitely not be the only one left who cultivates the truth.
Therefore, he must always keep in mind the dangers that he may encounter in his cultivation, and keep as many back paths as possible for himself. Otherwise, his ending is also very likely to follow the old path of the Venerable Herbs and Trees. This is a cruel reality that Wu Dao is unwilling to accept. It is also reasonable to be cautious about this.
After nearly four hours of driving and riding, Wu Dao, who was wearing casual clothes, finally came to the long-distance bus station in the provincial capital. Looking at the crowded scene in the station, Wu Dao also sighed that he should not be able to see such a scene from time to time in the future.
Walking out of the long-distance station, Wu Dao stopped a taxi and found a chain hotel that was relatively close to the cultural relics street. It cost more than 200 yuan to set a single standard room.
Even if he was interested in going upstairs to see the room, Wu Dao took the key handed to him by the hotel front desk, and immediately stopped a taxi to go to the cultural relics street near the outskirts of the provincial capital.
Although Hangang Province is not an ancient cultural capital, it has the most mysterious Yunling primeval forest, so that some can be unearthed here. Cultural relics of great historical and archaeological value, coupled with the rise of domestic cultural relics collection, this street that was the focus of cultural relics lovers at that time has gradually become a popular place for tourists in the provincial capital.
When Wu Dao came to Cultural Relics Street, in addition to those time-honored cultural relics shops, the street was also full of small vendors selling so-called cultural relics. The so-called cultural relics sold by these vendors are naturally fakes. But because of these people, most of them usually go to the countryside to buy ancient things from the people in the mountain villages. If you're lucky, it's still quite possible to receive one or two genuine items.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to buy collectible items at low prices at these vendors' stalls. It can also be described as a good fortune, but this kind of good thing, a hundred people who go shopping and buy things, it is very good to have one of them pick up this kind of big leak. After all, these vendors selling cultural relics and antiques are still somewhat higher than ordinary people who can distinguish antiques.
If you want to pick up the leaks, only those who are familiar with antique knowledge can buy antique artifacts from these shrewd small vendors at a higher value than the vendors sell for them.
Watching those vendors shout most of the antiques on the stalls as 'blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty and bronzes of the Han Dynasty', people who don't know really let them fool them. When will such expensive antique relics be sold on the street?
However, Wu Dao, who came to visit the cultural relics street for the first time, also found that among the vendors who set up stalls, there were also many silent bosses. It is only when the customer squats down to pick up the object that he enthusiastically introduces them to the so-called antique artifacts on his stalls. Generally, only those stalls that are not patronized will appear that the boss will talk big and attractive.
Wait until Wu Dao is unhurriedly in the stalls of these small vendors, and after carefully sensing it. Most of the items on these stalls were counterfeit or refurbished imitations. Something that really has some value is often sold at a price that exceeds the market price of the artifact. Therefore, if you want to pick up the leaks from these stall owners, the difficulty is not ordinarily high.
For these cultural relics and antiques sold at the stalls, Wu Dao only paid attention to ancient jade and bronze objects, especially objects that looked similar to the Dan furnace used by cultivators, and Wu Dao would take a good look at each of them. As a result, he was a little disappointed that he walked down the street and found nothing good.
Is it true that there are no cultivators in this world?
Wu Dao, who sighed in his heart that this cultivator's magic weapon was difficult to find, could only give up the idea of looking for it on this street, and instead began to browse most of the cultural relics stores there with good prices. The odds of buying the real thing in these antique shops are higher than the wandering vendors outside. But for these antiquities shops that are sold at a marked price, once the thing is sold, there is no such thing as a return.
Therefore, if you accidentally hit the eye, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Most of the merchants who can open shops and sell antique relics on this street have a certain background, and if they want to make trouble, they must also consider the consequences.
As the number of foreign tourists attracted by the cultural relics street increases, the owners of these cultural relics shops will also sell some imitations that are not easy to be detected, in order to obtain more profits. After all, the boss who doesn't open a store to make money must be very few in the past few years!
