Jiang Yugang stepped off the bus, and in front of him was a quiet town, this is Moning in Kachin State, Myanmar, in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, it also had a name, Mengyang.

If the Tumubao Revolution was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline, the Battle of Luchuan that took place here may be an important reason for this beginning.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the Luchuan War, which lasted for ten years from 1439 to 1448, which consumed too much national strength of the Ming Dynasty, so that the border defense of the northern Wara was weak, there might not have been a later Tumubao change at all.

What made Jiang Yu even more embarrassed was that the battle of Luchuan, which was so large, did not get enough results, not only failed to completely quell the rebellion, but also led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the southwest. Two hundred years later, Donghu, which had become more powerful here, launched a curse and completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

However, Jiang Yuyan came here not to visit the ancient times, but for a helmet left by the legendary Ming army who fought here back then.

He didn't believe that there would be a helmet that could be preserved for hundreds of years and intact, but the pictures sent by the seller were indeed perfect in shape, even if it was a modern imitation. Not to mention that my friend, who is a movie prop master, has been begging to get it back since he found out about it during a drinking chat, and the price is negotiable.

Brother seller, don't lie to me, it's not easy to travel all the way to Kachin State. Jiang Yu muttered and sent a message to the seller on his mobile phone: "Brother Luo Xuan, I'm here at the bus station." ”

The seller on the other side replied very quickly: "I see you too, look up!" ”

Jiang Yu barely raised his head in the dazzling sunlight, and a heroic middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walked down from the black car across the road not far away, grinning and waving at him.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Yugang." Jiang Yuyan walked over and shook hands with the seller.

"I'm Luo Xuan, get in the car, the things are at my house." Said the seller.

Jiang Yu didn't hesitate, pulled the car door and sat in. He is a martial arts master, with an extremely strong physique, and over the years he has traveled north and south in order to collect antiques, and he has seen many winds and waves, but he is not worried that Luo Xuan has evil intentions.

The car drove for twenty minutes and soon arrived at Luo Xuan's home. It is a three-storey villa, and around the villa is a well-tended garden that can be seen, and several gardeners are still working in sunhats.

"Your house is magnificent." Jiang Yu looked around and couldn't help but admire.

"This place can't be compared with the country." Luo Xuan waved his hand, walked into the front hall of the villa first, took off his sunglasses and hung them on his chest casually, "You can sit casually, I'll take out the things." ”

While waiting for the seller Luo Xuan to take the things, Jiang Yu leaned on the back of the sofa boredly, thinking about how to bargain for a while.

The price offered by Luo Xuan is completely to treat this helmet as a real Ming Dynasty soldier's helmet, if he really buys it at this price, let alone as a middleman to make a difference from the movie props master friend, he can't get it with all the money he has.

Luo Xuan had to be persuaded to buy it at the price of a modern imitation. Jiang Yugang was thinking about it when Luo Xuan walked over, followed by a young woman pushing a small cart, who seemed to be his family's servant.

There is a silver helmet on the cart, the shape is exquisite and elegant, there is a kind of majestic and murderous aura on it, although there are some mottled wear marks on the metal surface, but the overall is still exceptionally smooth and bright, and Jiang Yu's face can be faintly reflected.

Jiang Yuyan looked at this so-called Ming Dynasty military helmet and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Although this helmet is very old-fashioned, and it really has a quaint taste of the battlefield, if he believes that the military helmet of the Ming Dynasty can be preserved so well under such environmental conditions, then he does not need to mix up this antique collecting world.

"It's so advanced, it's old-fashioned." Jiang Yu couldn't hold back for a while, said what was in his heart, and then looked at Luo Xuan a little embarrassed: "Brother Luo Xuan, this, I really don't believe that there will be such a well-preserved helmet under such conditions." ”

"But it's the real thing." Luo Xuan looked disappreciative, and his voice was extremely affirmative of this military helmet.

"It does look like it's real, but it proves that it's not real, and from the very beginning, this helmet should be kept in the most advanced museum in modern times to keep it in its current state." Jiang Yugang felt that he still had to explain to Luo Xuan, otherwise he insisted that the military helmet was from the Ming Dynasty, and there was no need to talk about the price, "Brother, this imitation is really good, but it is a bit unauthentic if you insist that this is from the Ming Dynasty." ”

Luo Xuan shook his head: "You may not believe it, this helmet is really magical, it was a toy when I was a child, I never paid attention to maintaining it, but it never rusts no matter the wind or rain." ”

"What? Could it be that this helmet is made of stainless steel? Jiang Yu almost laughed out loud, but he still couldn't help but continue to talk to the seller's uncle.

"This is something that I have inherited from my family, but my newly married wife doesn't like to put these antique devices at home, so she takes them out and sells them," Luo Xuan ignored Jiang Yu's jokes, his eyes were full of nostalgia: "Once my grandfather told me that the ancestor of our family was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the southwest, and then the chief who followed the ancestor died in battle, and the troops were scattered, and the ancestor fled for his life, leaving only this helmet on the chief to be passed down from generation to generation in my family." ”

"No, isn't it..."Jiang Yu couldn't help but have a headache, this Luo Xuan's story was told very well, but it was a pity that the money his friend gave him was just one zero less than the price offered by the seller. Could it be that you can only go back empty-handed?

Jiang Yugang also wanted to make one last effort: "I really can't afford this price, after all, I have always regarded it as a modern imitation, you see, can you give it a discount?" ”

“…… I wouldn't sell it for a penny, and if it weren't for my wife's tantrum every day, I wouldn't have sold the antiques at home for the money. Luo Xuan thought for a moment, but still refused without leaving any room, and as he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the military helmet, looking distressed.

Jiang Yu watched Luo Xuan touch the helmet directly, not even wearing a glove, and couldn't help but sneer: If you really treat this as a thing of the Ming Dynasty, you won't just touch it.

"That's a shame." Jiang Yu sighed helplessly, got up from the sofa and prepared to say goodbye. He had already decided that this was a scam, and it was better to replace the wronged person with another idiot.

"It's a pity, but you're also from afar, so I have to entertain you with a meal no matter what." Luo Xuan said to stay: "We are also destined to meet, let's be friends in the future." ”

"Well, that's disrespectful." Jiang Yu nodded happily, but his heart was full of loss, the style of this helmet is extremely elegant, and the antique craftsmanship is also top-notch. It's just that he didn't expect this seller to be so stubborn, holding an imitation just and not letting go, obviously the price he offered is also very interesting for a modern handicraft.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the helmet, thinking that although he couldn't buy anything, it was not in vain.

But that's when something strange happened.

As soon as the skin of the palm of the hand touched the military helmet, there was a comfortable cold feeling, but in the next moment, the palm inexplicably began to become hot. Jiang Yuyan only felt that as the palm of the military helmet touched the heat, the qi and blood in his whole body began to surge, and his eyes darkened violently, and his consciousness began to dissipate rapidly.

Oops, what's going on? Can't it be that this seller sees that he can't deceive himself, so he wants to harm me? Jiang Yu shouted in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late, and in less than a few seconds, he had completely fainted.
