At five o'clock in the evening, Jin Muchen arrived on time on the street where the ghost market was located, a three-mile-long street, which was now well arranged, although the market had not yet opened, but it was already crowded with people outside the street.

Some of these people are tourists, some are residents of the neighborhood, and some are antique dealers who come from all over the world to look for antiques.

Most of these people are concentrated in some small shops outside the street, or in taverns, restaurants, and cafes, everyone's faces are full of excitement, and the topics they talk about are inseparable from this night market.

Jin Muchen asked for a hot dog at a stall on the side of the road, and when he came out of the hotel in the afternoon, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to eat.

As soon as I took a bite, I saw that all the small TIKI lights strung on the side of the street were lit up, and then I heard a boom, and countless people poured out from the various shops around me.

Everyone smiled happily and walked into the street bustlingly, and Jin Muchen also followed the flow of people and walked inside unhurriedly.

The street is very long, and a long street for three miles is lined with all kinds of small stalls, and there are even a few relatively open areas, and many greenhouses have been built.

Jin Muchen roughly estimated it, just looking at the posture, there were about three or four thousand small vendors on this street, which was definitely not small in a country like the United States, which was sparsely populated.

When I entered the market, the first section of the street opened small stalls on both sides of the street were selling second-hand clothes. and second-hand furniture. Those clothes and furniture. It can't be counted as an antique, it can only be regarded as second-hand, which should be specifically aimed at customers who come for this purpose and have shallow pockets.

As you go inside, the goodies gradually increase, some old-fashioned porcelain and glassware, and some exotic rattan furniture. And it began to appear gradually.

Even some black African things, such as various bone polishing pendants, and some things full of Southeast Asian style and Hawaiian style, have gradually begun to increase.

Jin Muchen, who was new to the city, could be said to be dazzled, feeling that his spirit was almost a little unable to keep up, he walked very slowly, and looked left and right after reading it, for fear of missing a good thing.

Soon the hot dog in his hand was finished, and Jin Muchen felt that it was not very enjoyable. In such a market, there is no shortage of places to sell snacks. I found a stall and bought a hamburger and ate it as I walked.

It's already cold in Illinois in October, and if you don't have enough to eat, it's not a pleasure, it's a sin.

Jin Muchen knew that there were still more than ten hours waiting for him, so he was not in a hurry.

No matter how slow he walked, he walked about a third of the distance in more than an hour, and although he saw a lot of good things along the way, it was a pity that he still couldn't meet the good things that made him feel excited.

In the front of the porcelain stalls, he took a fancy to a few pieces of fine export porcelain exported during the Qing Dynasty, and the condition was very good, but the stall owner's asking price was very high, so he didn't make a move.

As for some other European and American antiques, I also took a fancy to a few, such as a Rockford gold watch, but unfortunately the stall owner asked for too high a price and had to give it up.

After walking for such a long time, his stomach was full, but he didn't see the thieves that Uncle Fang talked about before, which made Jin Muchen feel a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again and continued to walk deeper into the street.

After all, before he came, Uncle Fang also told him that those thieves are very secretive in such a ghost market, and their stalls are generally very small, and they may miss it if they are not careful.

Although this is a place where the U.S. government turns a blind eye, those thieves don't dare to be too blatant, after all, the things in their hands are not from the right way, and in this market, there are not only antique dealers with the intention of picking up bargains, but also many hunters who come to them.

These hunters are usually sent out by employers who have lost their precious antiques to find lost items, and if they are found by those guys in this market, the thieves will definitely not be able to make any gain.

Jin Muchen calmed down, slowly walked around the market with the flow of people, walked for about half a mile or so, and had reached the middle of the market, but still couldn't find anything good that made him excited.

Just as he was about to continue to move forward, an unusually strong yellow light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye, causing him to stop suddenly, and his eyes swept to the right, just in time to see a very inconspicuous stall.

Sure enough, as described by Fang Bo, this stall is located in the middle of two greenhouses, that is, an area of about one square meter, and the stall is simple and can even be said to be very shabby, that is, a white blanket is spread on the ground, and a few things are simply placed on it.

If you don't look closely, many people may not notice that there is such a stall in the gap between these two greenhouses.

Jin Muchen walked quickly to the side of the stall, came to the stall, squatted down, and took a closer look at the stall.

The surrounding light is very dim, and even if there is a long list of TIKI lights overhead, such decorative lights do not play a very good role in lighting, so many customers have to bring their own flashlights.

But this dim environment is not difficult for Jin Muchen, who has a pair of eyes that can see at night.

The things on the small stall in front of me were just a few simple items, an old-fashioned brass lighter of no brand, a Dupont lighter studded with broken diamonds, and a few old-fashioned table lamps with brass pedestals.

Although these are all valuable things, they have not been able to enter Jin Muchen's eyes, what he really pays attention to is the contents of a leather box placed at the back of this stall.

The style of this leather box is very Chinese, very similar to the kind of jade boxes that can often be seen in jade stalls in China.

Black leather, but the top layer is a layer of glass, through which you can see the red satin backing inside the box, and on the backing, a white circular seal is placed.

The only difference from the domestic boxes containing jade is that most of the domestic boxes are flat, and this box is a cube.

Through the glass on the top cover of the box, you can see that inside is a white white jade cylinder, about 20 centimeters high, about 10 centimeters wide, and the top is a layer of jade skin.

Just looking at the appearance, Jin Muchen guessed that this should be a seal, but the jade was upside down, and he couldn't see what was engraved on the side of the seal.

But just by looking at the jade pillar, you can know that this must be a good thing, because the warm and milky white of this jade pillar, just under this not very strong faint light, you can see a touch of fireflies on the white jade pillar, not to mention that in Jin Muchen's eyes, this jade pillar is constantly flashing with a very strong yellow light.

According to his past experience, as long as there is this kind of antique with yellow light flashing, it can generally be related to the royal family, and the jade pillar in front of him is already quite remarkable just by looking at its appearance.

Thinking about it again, in this world, I am afraid that the most favorite to play jade is the Chinese nation, Jin Muchen couldn't help but take a deep breath, this time it seems that he has encountered a royal treasure again.

However, he did not rush to reach for the object, but raised his head, and at this time, a dark shadow flashed in the shadow of the greenhouse next to him.

This guy was very careful, wearing a pair of fat jeans and a pullover, it was obviously dark at this time, but he still had a hood on his head, and the part of his eyes was still wrapped in a scarf.

Just by looking at the dress, Jin Muchen could already conclude that this guy must be the thief he had been looking for.

And these things in front of him should be his stolen goods.

"Can I take a look?"

Before coming, Uncle Fang had already explained to him that if he met such a person, he must not be tempted with them like he did with ordinary vendors, don't ask the other party's origin, and don't ask the other party's name.

If you can see something, then you can see it, then you can see it, and immediately discuss the price with the other party, if both sides are satisfied, then immediately pay for the goods, and then go back to their respective homes.

The man with the hood didn't speak, just nodded at Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen directly reached out and grabbed the leather box, then opened the top lid and took the jade pillar out of it.

If this is someone else, when identifying such an ancient jade, there must be something to do with a magnifying glass, something to serve with a strong flashlight, but for Jin Muchen, such a means can be completely saved.

Before, his divine eyes had already seen the quality of this jade pillar through, and this time, just by virtue of the warm and cool feel, he could conclude that this must be made of Hetian jade.

He directly turned over the jade pillar and looked at the seal inscription below, and this look was immediately suppressed like five thunderbolts.

I saw that under the round jade pillar, there are four big characters of Emperor Taishang, the lettering is in a cross-shaped layout, the two words of Taishang are divided into left and right, and the two words of Emperor run through the middle!

He felt that his brain was a little messy, this is special, what a big surprise, sure enough, this ghost market has not come in vain, and he has encountered such a good thing since then.

As soon as he thought of this, he was even more impatient, and directly turned over the no seal, and he only paid more attention to the jade quality of this seal through the glass before, and did not pay too much attention to whether there was an inscription on the top of the seal.

If the guess is correct, then there should still be an inscription on the top of this unsealed, and there should even be a pattern! (To be continued......)
