Chapter 66 The Whirling Turtle Spirit Beast?
Chapter 66 Spiral Turtle Spirit Beast?
This wooden box is not big, only the size of an adult's shoebox, after leaving this ancient jade shop, Li Moyang still found a place to sit for a while, curious to open this thing that he bought from Tufuzi. Tufuzi, Li Moxu heard from Daniel Zhang's mouth, is a nickname for tomb robbers, who digs soil all year round to make a living, so he is called Tufuzi.
When he opened the box, Li Moxu saw a strange specimen, saying that it was strange, that is, its body was like a turtle, the head of a bird, and the tail of a snake. Saying that it is a specimen, it is not known how many years it has been dry, but there is a little magic, if it is an ancient artifact, it should be a fossil. Because it is not a stone carving object, but a real animal, Li Moxu affirms this.
"What is this?" Frangipani, who was sitting next to her, looked at the turtle with a turtle body, a bird's head, and a snake's tail and asked.
"How do I know, but I think it should be the emperor of the eight emperors." Li Moxu said when he saw this specimen that had existed for no two years and could still maintain its lifelike appearance.
"Wang Ba? The last time I was in a used bookstore here, I read a book that said that the longer an animal lives, the more it will have an inner dan or something like that. Do you think this Wang Ba is in the body? I heard that after eating Neidan, you can prolong your life! Su Xin pointed to a bookstore called Shuzhai next to the old street.
"I said how come you're like my friend, you've read too many novels, and you're still Nedan?" Li Moxu had heard Daniel Zhang tell the story of the lonely immortal before, saying that if he could fight the demon orphan, it would be worth dying.
"Otherwise, let's go to the owner of the study shop and ask, that old man seems to be a knowledgeable and antique expert." Frangipani thought that this thing was from Tufuzi's hands, and it should not be an ordinary specimen.
"It's okay, I've always thought this thing was a little weird, but I couldn't say what weird it was." Li Moxu nodded and said.
Since today is a cultural fair, there are not only many sellers, but also many people who buy things, not to mention the flow of people in the study shop. Many people held one thing after another in their hands, waiting there for the old gentleman to identify them, and the appraisal fee ranged from 50 yuan to 100 yuan.
When Li Moxu entered this bookstore, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, not because there were many customers, but because the bookshelves inside were all old books, and none of them were new. And these old books are all from the sixties and seventies, most of them are thread-bound, and each set, each one is wrapped in some plastic wrap. There are also many official badges left over from the war era, etc., Grandpa Mao's memorial portrait, and comics from the 70s, but most of them are Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West comics, and the size of a palm.
"No, there are invasion maps for wars, too?" Li Moxu looked at the yellowed maps and said.
"There are newspapers in the sixties and seventies, and there are also postage stamps in the late Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of yuan to millions of yuan each." Frangipani said.
"I said, is there something wrong with the collectors of this world, or do they have a lot of money and no place to put them, so they collect these things?" Li Moxu said.
"It's an investment, a taste, a connotation, where there's a need, there's supply and demand, and you don't know it." Su Xinbai glanced at Li Moxu and said.
Li Moxu walked around the bookstore, and Su Xin lined up and listened to the old gentleman politely identifying these antiques. When it comes to identification, others generally use a magnifying glass and the like to study carefully, but this old pioneer, touch the item in your hand, and you will come to the result, it is true, talk about its age. If it's fake, give it back to the other party.
"This is a jade nose pot in the Kangxi era, and the appraisal fee is 100 yuan." After saying that, return it to the owner.
"Well, this knife coin belongs to the Qin Dynasty, not bad, not bad." Another owner stuff said.
"This small partial clock is fake, the imitation is very real, it is worth thousands of yuan, it should be imitated by people in the World War II era, it is worth collecting!" He said.
"This is Hetian jade, really, not glass."
"This is an imitation blue and white bowl, fake."

Soon it was Li Moxu's turn, Li Moxu handed over a wooden box, but he didn't expect this old gentleman to take it, his eyes did not stay on this carved wooden box, but looked at Li Moxu like a man looking at a beautiful woman, and finally his eyes stopped on Li Moxu's forehead.
Similarly, Li Moxu looked at his eyes, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he thought to himself: "It can't be the person in the rivers and lakes that Huanyumen garbage said, right?" â
"Sir, do I have something on my face?" Li Moxu asked.
"Oh, no, this wooden box is something from the late Qing Dynasty, and it is mainly used by a lady to hold cosmetics. Collectible! The identification fee will give you fifty yuan. When he heard Li Moxu's words, his eyes fell on the carved wooden box and said. I thought to myself: "Huangwu Realm Five Heavens? This little guy is from that family, why is his face so unfamiliar? â
Frangipani who was next to her couldn't help laughing when she heard the old gentleman's appearance, coughed lightly and said, "Old gentleman, we identified the contents of the box." Not this wooden box! â
"Why didn't you say it earlier, but it's okay, the wooden box also charges for it."
After saying that, he gently opened the wooden box the size of the shoebox, and when he saw the turtle body, bird head, and snake tail specimen inside, he sat up from the chair at once. As if he was taken aback by the contents of it, the eyes fell on the long line of guests behind him and said, "Business has been done here this morning, and it will be opened again in the afternoon, sorry, sorry, please move to the jade step." â
As he spoke, he began to catch up the guests, drove them out of the study pavilion, and then pulled up the floodgates, leaving only Li Moxu and Frangipani inside. had to make Li Moxu a little nervous, Meng Chu told him that the Huangwu Realm was in the ancient martial arts realm, even if he was a bird, the Xuanwu Realm could also shoot him away with one palm.
"Don't worry, I won't rob you of your things, don't be nervous." The old gentleman said with a smile, and then began to look for it on his bookshelf and said: "You sit here, I'll look for information, alas, people are old, I don't remember where the things were, you wait, I'll look for it, soon." â
Soon, the old gentleman came to his desk with a yellowed old book in his hand, and looked at the specimens of the turtle's body, bird's head, and snake's tail in the wooden box. began to flip through the old book in his hand, the name of this old book, Li Moxu knew, and it read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
"Found it, found it, Dream Turtle! Boy, you are lucky to get the spirit beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". He said to Li Moxu with a smile, and then read it on it and said: "Dream tortoise, you know, the average little turtle is born only the size of a mother's finger, and you, who are only two adults with the size of a palm, should be the eighth king of the millennium." It has a special feature, that is, it likes to sleep, and it wakes up once every hundred years, and its cry is like the sound of splitting wood. â
Speaking of this, the old gentleman pretended to cry: 'Click, click' is probably like this, although it is said to be a bird's head, it is not as beautiful as those larks, but the sound it makes can attract many birds, as long as the food is fish! â
The spirit beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? When Su Xin heard this, she thought that she had read an old book here before, which recorded some stories about demons and Neidan, who used Neidan to save their lovers. She couldn't help but ask: "Millennial King Eight Spirit Beasts, does it have an inner pill?" â
However, Li Moxu didn't ask Nedan, he asked: "Aren't the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas made up randomly?" â
This old gentleman, when he heard Li Moxu's words, he looked at Li Moxu with a pair of strange eyes, it was hard to imagine that this little guy was an ancient martial artist. All ancient warriors are from some ancient guys, and among the ancient guys, there will naturally be some ancient records, and that ancient record, it seems that all ancient warriors know it. At this time, he was wondering, is Li Moxu from an ancient family, or is it a registered child of the ancient family in the world?
"No, do you know where the records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" came from? Let me tell you, maybe in five years, it will be an adventure for you. He thought that in five years, a big competition would break an event that had not been seen in hundreds of years.
Then, he began to talk to Li Moxu about the origin of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", saying that the history of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did not follow to the early Warring States period, but to the ancient Stone Age of Fuxi. The authors are different, and there are people in each era who are rewriting it and perfecting the records in it, just like a dictionary, recording the strange beasts in the mountains and seas of this world. After the Warring States Period, there were people who wanted to perfect it once, traveled all over the world, tribes, etc., and recorded the gods, spirit animals, spiritual objects, etc. in the mouths of those people, and it can be said that there are many things recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas in the Warring States Period.
Due to the chaos and war of the Warring States, many records of that era were lost, and five thousand years later, not to mention the Classic of Mountains and Seas left behind, the losses in World War II were even stricter. However, there are some ancient families, that is, there are zĂ i, because it pays attention to some legendary records, records some ancient myths and other things.
"Don't tell me that there are immortals and the like in this world, right?" Li Mo thought of the hidden information in his body that was recorded in the thousand-year-old and 10,000-year-old best woman.
"How do I know if it's true, but I only know that most of the spirit beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are true. If you have time, you can take a look, the ones outside are just stories, and what I have here is the facts, and the hidden ones in those old guys, more detailed. If I'm not mistaken, this specimen in your hand should have escaped from a small world of an ancient sect. He looked at the lifelike Dream Turtle and said.
"Small world? What came from? Is it the spiritual world? Li Moxu thought that in his spiritual world, he could take out the things inside, and mistakenly said that the small world in the old man's mouth was the spiritual world.
"You don't know? Since your elders didn't tell you, I can't say, by the way, what are you going to do with this thing, if it is known by someone with ulterior motives, it may cause death. He didn't continue to talk to Li Moxu about the small world, but just pointed to the Dream Turtle in his hand.
"Does the spirit beast have Neidan?" Li Moxu remembered Su Xin's words in the past, if there was Neidan, maybe the martial arts skills in his body would be upgraded.
