Chapter 53: Old Chen

The mossy bluestone road carries a lot of historical vicissitudes, washes away the prosperity of the past, leaves the most beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River, lies dormant in the alleys of the old days, and is willing to enjoy the rare cleanliness in the city, the old man sits in a rocking chair and listens to Kunqu Opera or Huangmei Opera pleasantly, and the ignorant naughty children play to their heart's content, and they have long been accustomed to the passing tourists, there is no fear, only an innocent smile.

"How nice it would be to buy one here."

Ouyang Bing seemed to be infected by this almost paradise-like life, the softest part of the girl's heart was touched, and there was a little intoxication on her cold face.

"You're not going to catch thieves." Liu Sheng joked half-jokingly.

"Nasty."

Ouyang Bing frowned lightly, a trace of blush bloomed on her pretty face, indescribably cold, Liu Sheng just said a word that wiped out the softness in her heart.

"Hehe, let's go, it's coming soon." Liu Sheng pointed to a small Jiangnan courtyard in front of him.

He doesn't want to dwell on this issue, after living comfortably for a long time, you will find that the gap between reality and ideals is not ordinarily large, there will still be chengguan on the stalls, and there will still be trouble from the Family Planning Commission when giving birth to a child, no matter if you are a star or a director, you don't have to pay a huge fine.

Liu Sheng walked a few steps briskly and stopped in front of a typical courtyard of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Two stone lions guarding the courtyard immediately appeared in front of them, without the roughness of the north, arrogant, with a little Jiangnan elegance, slender, full of interest, a pair of brick carved gatehouses with the rising sun, protruding from the snow-white sealed volcanic wall, more exquisite than the northern gate, so that Liu Sheng couldn't help but think of the 'Qinhuai Eight Uniques' that he had just tasted.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk..." Liu Sheng took a deep breath and knocked on the sparkling brass door knocker on the vermilion lacquer door.

"Here we are."

Immediately, there was a loud, middle-spirited old voice in the courtyard, and soon the sound of powerful footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

"Squeak."

The vermilion lacquer door opened a gap, revealing an old man wearing a black robe and gown, with a somewhat thin figure, his appearance was clear, plump and cool, Xiao Shuxuan lifted, the robe was not a little sour and rotten, showing free and easy, as if Jin Yong's Huang Laoxie was resurrected, which made people feel impressed.

"You are?"

Looking at Liu Sheng's image is quite unfamiliar, the old man couldn't help frowning, now he is idle at home, raising cats and dogs all day long, waiting for some flowers, birds, fish and insects for fun, those disciples and grandchildren are not interested in bothering, I don't want to have guests come to the door today, and the boss is a little unhappy.

"You are Old Chen, boy, my name is Liu Sheng, it was Yang Gongming and Yang Lao asked me to visit you." Liu Sheng hurriedly explained when he saw Old Chen's appearance.

Looking at Chen Lao's appearance, Liu Sheng couldn't help but think of Yang Lao's introduction, who was born as a native mouse but wore a robe and pretended to be a literati, extremely eccentric in his bones, after washing his hands in the golden basin, he raised cats and dogs at home, he liked to be quiet and didn't like to make trouble, and he didn't like others to disturb.

"Well, come in." Old Chen nodded expressionlessly, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

"Let's go, why are you still stunned?" Liu Sheng shouted at Ouyang Bing, who was a little distracted.

Looking at Chen Lao's back, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that it was a mistake to bring Ouyang Bing here, knowing the temper of the great god of Lu Dao, and carrying one of them, I really don't know how much Lu Dao's purpose can achieve today.

Passing through the brick carved gate, you will see a small lotus pond, a few pink lotus flowers are blooming brightly, and several varieties of goldfish are a little comfortable, constantly playing around the lotus stems. From a distance, you can see the smoke curling in the hall facing the door, and the aroma of it is like nothing, which makes people feel shocked.

"Sit."

Chen Lao entered the hall and sat straight on the circle chair in the first place, and with a glance at Liu Sheng and Ouyang Bing, he ignored the two of them and began to taste the little dragon that had just been soaked.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard this, could it be that this visit would be disadvantageous? I didn't offend him, looking at Chen Lao's appearance, he was a little confused by the second monk. Seeing that Chen Lao didn't pay attention to himself, he couldn't help but start looking at Chen Lao's hall.

This Chen Lao really has a material, no wonder the ability to mention this is that even Yang Lao is a little admired, the gable on the front seems to be the Southern Tang Dynasty master Li Yu's favorite object, the great painter Dong Yuan's "Lushan Tu" almost didn't stare out Liu Sheng's eyes, hanging here is not afraid of theft, there is a bronze Boshan furnace in the middle of the case, it seems to be the Han Dynasty, the smell of earth is not concealed at all, and now there is a curling cigarette rising, Liu Sheng can almost conclude that what is burning inside must be the best Qi Nan agarwood, Otherwise, there is no such strong aroma.

This is not the end, Liu Sheng found that the furniture in the whole house is made of Hainan Huanghuali with good hair, although it is not the old furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but this newly created furniture is more precious, now the sea yellow material is almost exhausted, and it will take hundreds of years to complete the material, to create such a complete set of furniture is simply extremely luxurious, and the exquisite carving on it will know that the Tao is from the hands of famous artists. The most annoying thing is that this old Chen is holding in his mouth, which is actually the handwriting of Gu Jingzhou, a master of modern purple clay pots.

"Old Chen?"

Looking at Ouyang Bing, who was still distracted, Liu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed that he had to rely on himself to break the embarrassment, so he called out tentatively.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chen Lao pursed the spout lightly, didn't even look at Liu Sheng, squinted his eyes, and asked lightly.

"Ugh." Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this old man Chen to seem to know what he was coming for, and he said it so directly.

"Then Old Man Yang must have something to do with you asking you to find me, otherwise he wouldn't bother to take care of my bad old man."

Chen's eagle-like eyes were not ordinarily sharp, as if they had penetrated Liu Sheng's heart at once, and the secrets in his heart were revealed, and he was really worthy of being a veteran figure in the tomb robbery world.

"That's the case, someone is planning Sun Quan's tomb, do you know the way?" When Liu Sheng saw this, he told the story of the incident one by one.

"Hmph, the courage is really not small, but Xiang Yu's treasure is so easy to get, otherwise it would have been carved up a long time ago, do you point to them and leave some soup and water for future generations like the captain of the gold school in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", they have already been excavated cleanly, and now the cucumber dishes are cold.

Chen Lao is worthy of being an old and refined character, just by Liu Sheng's words, he can see that this group of tomb robbers has a great plan, and it is rare to explain it quite trendy.

"Could it be that Xiang Yu's treasure is real?" Liu Sheng was shocked, and there were more questions in his heart.

"Really, fake, where is it so clear, maybe there is, maybe not, it was squandered by Xiang Yu at that time, after all, a war, the amount of grain and grass consumed, silver taels can be said to be astronomical." Chen Lao shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer.

The depressed Liu Sheng couldn't help but have an urge to hit the wall, and looked at Chen Lao with questions.

"You ask your friends to be a little more careful around the cemetery, they have their own way of handling things, and the wealth is attractive, and things are not so easy to get." Chen Lao said predictively, it seemed that he knew some unknown inside stories, but he just didn't want to tell them.

"Okay."

Liu Sheng turned his face away and looked at Ouyang Bing, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and say a few words, this matter is not to charge into battle by yourself, now it is completely a friendly cameo.

"Xiao Liu, do you have anything else? If not, let's go. Chen Lao stood up and prepared to see off the guests.

"Ah, there's something."

Liu Sheng was almost scared by Chen Lao's direct peeing, and he didn't say anything when he entered the door without water, but he didn't expect to start picking up guests now, it's really a strange news in the world.

"Old Chen, your old man hasn't said what to do, but Elder Yang asked me to consult your opinion." Liu Sheng hurriedly said.

Chen Lao was born in a bad family, and when he was young, he often did some inverted things, and he was clear about the things inside, and he didn't ask who he asked.

"Didn't I say it, Xiang Yu's treasure is up to them to toss, as for Sun Quan's tomb, then solve it yourself, I have already washed my hands in a golden basin." Chen Lao suddenly felt a trace of decline, as if he had touched something.

"Hmm." Liu Sheng accepted the reality a little helplessly, cheeky, and continued, "Do you know when the nearest underground black market will be held?" ”

"Underground black market? Let me think about it, by the way, there was really an underground black market deal recently, and they gave me two more, you can take it. As he spoke, he didn't see Chen Lao use any spells to conjure up two invitations.

"Xie Lu Xie Chen, we won't bother." Liu Sheng happily accepted the gilded invitation, pulled Ouyang Bing, and chose to leave directly.
