Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ancient Moon Cup

Lu Yun traveled all the way and finally arrived at Jiujiang Mansion, he was not in a hurry to visit Zhu Jianwen, because he wanted to study the Guyue Cup in his hand carefully, so he found an inn at random and opened a room, and closed the door after telling the shop staff not to disturb.

Lu Yunzhi took out the Guyue Cup from a cloth bag, this bronze square cup was still unchanged as he had seen before, but the liquid inside was missing. On the night when the Zhongzheng Yimai Mansion was besieged, this bottle of Guyue Cup was pocketed by Fang Qingze, and Du Haiyong's small gold medal was picked up by Lu Yunzhi. Before Timur parted, Lu Yunzhi deliberately asked for the Guyue Cup in Fang Qingze's hand, and the rebellion against Shang Delirium relied on this Guyue Cup and the gold medal of Yong Engraving Zhongzheng, so naturally he had to make the liquid inside before he could use it. If Yu Qian's secret letter can be faked, and Chao Xing's testimony is also false, then the image presented by Gu Yubei will never deceive people, Lu Yunzhi knows this, and Shang Yu, who was once a disciple of Zhongzheng, also knows it.

Lu Yunzhi carefully looked at the ancient moon cup, it is made of bronze, boxy and has no feet, on the surface of the cup is also engraved with a circle of simple and strange patterns, several bronze vines are wrapped around the cup, the vines look as thick and powerful as the real one, vigorous and lifelike.

Lu Yunzhi took out a short dagger from his arms and wiped it on his hand, blood immediately gushed out of his palm, Lu Yunzhi turned his palm into a fist and clenched his fist, letting the blood slowly drip into the cup. It didn't take long for the Guyue cup to be filled with Lu Yunzhi's blood, Lu Yunzhi took out a handkerchief that had been prepared, and then took out a bottle of medicinal powder and lit it on his hand. After a while, the blood on his hand stopped, and he quickly wrapped it with a handkerchief, and then looked at the Gu Yue Cup.

At this moment, the blood in the Guyue Cup gradually became clearer, and the bright red color slowly weakened, Lu Yunzhi nodded and kept shaking the Guyue Cup, and finally took out a grain of cinnabar from a small bottle and put it in the cup, the blood in the cup seemed to be boiling, and from time to time there were puffs or two of green smoke. After a cup of tea, the liquid in the cup is no longer bright red, but becomes cloudy and opaque, and the liquid is very viscous but can reflect the scene in front of you, like a mirror.

Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly and said to himself: "Sure enough, it's five taels of blood wearing cinnabar, this method is hard for me to find." "When Fang Qingze walked the Guyue Cup back then, the liquid in the cup was poured out in the subsequent battle, and he didn't care if he thought it was just an ordinary liquid. But Lu Yunzhi kept trying to fill the cup with all kinds of water and wine along the way, but he couldn't make it look like a mirror.

When approaching Jiujiang Mansion, Lu Yunzhi suddenly vaguely remembered that in the iron tower in the Shuanglong Valley where the leopard was, there was such a mural, on which a thing resembled an ancient moon cup was painted, and a person was dripping blood into it. The man was drawn in a very strange way, his body was cut off by a horizontal line in the middle, and in addition to dripping blood from the quilt in one hand, the man was holding a piece of ore in the other, and a red dot was dotted in the middle of the ore. Lu Yunzhi was just busy running around, and then he remembered that the ore was most likely cinnabar, and the person who was drawn in half by the horizontal line represented the person who was five two five, the intersection of yin and yang. So he made such an attempt after coming to the inn, but he didn't expect it to be extremely successful.

Lu Yunzhi took the gold medal in his hand, looked at it, and said secretly: "Senior Brother Du Hai." After saying that, he put the gold medal on the table and pressed it with the Guyue cup. A picture gradually appeared in the Guyue Cup, which was the picture of Du Hai's murder, Lu Yunzhi picked up the Guyue Cup after a few glances, and the picture disappeared abruptly. Lu Yunzhi sighed and said with emotion: "It's done." ”

Lu Yunzhi put the Guyue Cup away, set up a small phantom array to prevent anyone from stealing it, and then put the small gold medal in his arms, and opened the door with his clothes, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Revenge was always on his mind, and he needed to relax today.

When I walked to the door of the inn, I found that the street was full of people, so I hurriedly called the guy in the store and said, "Little brother, dare to ask what day it is today and why the street is so lively." "That shopkeeper originally looked at Lu Yunzhi's utensils, and Lu Yunzhi lived in a first-class room, so he naturally looked up to him and had a good courtesy. Seeing Lu Yunzhi greet himself very politely, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Objective, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, eat zongzi and drink realgar to open a market." ”

"Oh, I see, thank you, little brother." Lu Yunzhi replied politely, and took out a few copper plates to reward the guy, and he walked towards the street. Lu Yun smiled secretly in his heart: Just busy trying to form an alliance to overthrow Yu Qian, and he doesn't even remember the Dragon Boat Festival.

Walking through a street, Lu Yunzhi saw a group of people around the door of a shop, discussing something, so he stepped forward to see what was going on. In fact, Lu Yunzhi doesn't like to join in the fun on weekdays, but the more lively the distraction at the moment, the better. He looked up and saw that it was a pawnshop, with three big characters written on the plaque, "Calligraphy and Painting Dictionary", which seemed to be a place to collect some antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

A scholar sat at the door and wept loudly, and everyone watched as the scholar pointed and pointed at each other, talking to each other without knowing what was happening. A man who looked like a three-cabinet came out of the store and shouted: "You can't leave, you have to cry and cry elsewhere, and if you cry here again, I will let people throw you out." "Pawnshops no matter what they mainly receive, they are basically divided into two cabinets and three cabinets, and the three cabinets are responsible for some low-level goods pawns, such as the three cabinets in this calligraphy and painting dictionary are responsible for the first level, and the acquisition of ordinary calligraphy and painting antiques is mostly bought by catties.

If you encounter good calligraphy and painting antiques, you will ask out of the second cabinet, negotiate the price for further identification, if the second cabinet also feels that you can't see it accurately, and the seller's price is too high, but it is true that the goods are genuine, you will invite out the big shopkeeper. Of course, the second cabinet and the big shopkeeper are only for people who know how to trade, if the pawnbroker who comes to the pawn does not know how to trade, he will generally be confused by the third cabinet and the transaction at a very cheap price. Most of the people who come to pawn choose to die, that is, sell to pawnshops, and no one wants to be a thing to let the merchant earn interest. If the so-called live pawn does not come to redeem it during the current period, it will also be used as his own property by the pawnshop, and the money from the pawnshop is less than that of the dead, so the pawnshop is mostly for the dead and the three cabinets come forward.

"Take a look, I'm really out of life, I really can't open the pot at home." When the scholar saw that the three cabinets had come out, he hurriedly hugged the legs of the three cabinets and shouted to the heavens and the earth.
