Prologue: The Revelation of Destiny

Next Chapter

This summer, the weather in the north was surprisingly hot, and even people's moods became inexplicably irritable.

However, even in hot weather, people are still busy with their lives.

Beidu Antique Street was once a paradise for collectors and speculators. Here you may become rich overnight because of "picking up leaks", or you may lose a lot of money because of "eye-catching".

With the change of the times and the gradual improvement of urbanization, the stall culture is gradually declining.

The current situation of the antique street is a perfect interpretation of this, in the bustling market in previous years, at this time there are only a dozen stalls scattered in the dying and persistent.

......

"Boss, how much does this thing cost?", a young man in bright shorts pointed to a round object four or five inches in size that lay on the red cloth on the ground.

At the other end of the red cloth, the thin old man sitting on the horse looked up at the young man, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out five fingers, "5,000 yuan for you."

"What's so expensive?", the young man was a little surprised, squatted down and picked up the disc-like object with his hand, and put it in front of him to observe it carefully, "Isn't it just a broken pottery plate, it costs 5,000 when you open your mouth, I think you're a little too dark!"

"Hey, little brother, have you heard about the recent theft of the prince's tomb in the south?" the thin old man leaned forward and said in a very small voice.

"I heard that, what? Could it be that this thing came from?", the young man heard the old man say this, and suddenly thought of the theft of an ancient tomb in the south, and instantly understood what the old man meant, and then asked rhetorically.

When the old man heard this, he first nodded mysteriously, and then said, "That's right, but this time the movement is a bit big, and the police have already targeted it, so I am in a hurry to ...... it."

The young man was suspicious, and fiddled with the clay plate a few more times, "Isn't it?! What the police are targeting, do you dare to put it out?

"Hehe, the tomb can be in the south, the police just want to investigate, and they won't be able to find it here for a while, besides, in this realm, the little old man and I, the door is clear," the thin old man smiled and whispered to the young man.

"How is it, little brother, I see that you really like this thing too, can you?", the thin old man asked tentatively when he saw the young man's hesitant expression.

"5000 is too expensive, I still don't want it!", the young man was asked by the old man, put down the disc, and was about to get up and leave.

"Wait, if we don't do this, you can see how much you can get!?

When the young man heard the old man say this, not only did he not show a happy expression, but his face became even more difficult to look at.

He stood up and gritted his teeth, "I'll have a thousand dollars at most!"

As soon as he heard this, the thin old man who set up the stall quickly grabbed the disc and stood up suddenly, "Little brother, let's not bring such a bargain, this is a real old thing! It's a baby! If you really want it, let's get a discount! 3,000 yuan, I'm also trying to be auspicious early in the morning, can it!?"

As he spoke, the thin old man handed the clay plate in his hand to the young man opposite.

"No, no, I can't say anything, this thing looks so ordinary, it's a fake at best, and it's useless for me to buy it back," the young man shook his head like a rattle and stretched out his hand to refuse.

Seeing this, the old man was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly found a black lacquered wooden box from the miscellaneous items placed behind him, carefully put the pottery plate in his hand and covered the lid, and held it in both hands and handed it to the young man, "Well, you are really good at bargaining, today the little old man I will eat back the dumb loss, 1000 yuan, you can get it! What will you find in the future, please take care of it!?"

Seeing this, the young man on the other side did not reach out to take the wooden box, but turned around and ran away.

"Stop!Ersheng, stop this kid for me!Don't let him run!", the thin old man reacted very quickly, and after shouting to the fat black man standing not far in front of the young man, he stepped over the red cloth and chased after him.

The young man who ran away naturally heard the old man's shout, and saw that the fat man who was still chatting with others just now was turning his head to look at him, and secretly shouted "not good" in his heart, but at this time he didn't have time to think about it, and he was about to rush not far behind the fat man with an acceleration.

But what he didn't expect was that the black fat man's body showed agility that was extremely inconsistent with his figure, just a dodge in front of him.

The young man really didn't expect that a fat man who looked to be more than 200 pounds could move so quickly, and before he could react, he plunged into the fat man's arms, and at the same time was locked by two thick arms, allowing him to struggle hard, but he couldn't shake it.

This is the thin old man who also caught up, "Good boy! Even grandpa, you dare to shabu, you have to buy this thing today, and you have to buy it if you don't buy it!"

The fat man frowned and let go of his arms, and instead grabbed the young man's neck with one hand. Without waiting for the young man to speak, he was the first to speak, "What's the matter, Master Dog? This kid is here to make trouble? Do you need me to teach him a lesson first?"

"No, no, I'm just out shopping, I don't have any money, and I can't afford it!", the young man hurriedly explained when he saw the fat man with a fierce expression.

"What nonsense are you talking to me, I'll tell you, don't say that I'm not kind, this thing costs 3,000 yuan, no one can be missing, Malier found someone to send it over, you take the thing and leave", the thin old man groped around the young man, and found that there was nothing but a mobile phone and dozens of dollars scattered.

"Didn't you just say 1,000 yuan?!!Why did the price go up ????" said the young man with the courage to wince when he heard this.

The thin old man glanced at the young man with slanted eyes, and sneered, "Ersheng, tell him why!"

"You kid messed up our dog's business, and you're embarrassed to ask why?", the fat man said.

"That's right! Master will give you two ways now, either Malier will call someone to send the money, and you will take the things and leave, and we will be fine, or, waste a finger of you, and don't let Master Dog and I see you in this realm in the future." The thin old man grabbed the young man's right hand and patted his face, and said viciously.

I don't know if it was because of the weather or fear, the young man was already sweating profusely at this time, and when he heard the old man's threat, he shivered involuntarily.

"Uncle, am I wrong, I apologize to you, I came here to go to school, how can I have so much money, you spare me this time."

"You ......", the thin old man was about to say something, but was interrupted by another deep voice.

"What's the matter, Master Dog, it's so angry in the morning, it's so angry, it's hurting the liver......"

The one who spoke was the one who was chatting with the fat man just now. But at this time, he was already standing in the middle of the thin old man and the young man, and was reaching out to hand the old man a Chinese cigarette.

"Yo, isn't this Wu Sanye, a rare guest. Why don't you stay in the south and come to our side?", the thin old man was not polite, took the cigarette and put it to his mouth.

The man called Wu Sanye is about forty years old, and his appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes give people a sense of sharpness that is different from ordinary people.

"Didn't I hear that there are a batch of new treasures here, come and see ......", Wu Sanye took out the lighter, lit a cigarette for the old man, and took out one himself, put it to his mouth, and lit it.

"This kid is a mallet, he doesn't understand anything, what are you doing with him", Wu Sanye took a puff of cigarette, glanced at the young man who was caught by the fat man, and said slowly.

When the old man who was called the dog master heard this, he glanced at the fat man and did not speak. Seeing that the other party nodded knowingly. He pulled the third master Wu to his stall with one hand.

"I have a hot commodity here in a hurry, this kid has been here for a long time, thinking that it will be over if it is sold cheaply, but I didn't expect him to give me ink here in the morning and there is no money, don't you say it's annoying?", the old man picked up the black wooden box from the stall and patted it twice with his hand.

"What's hot, isn't it?"

"That's right...... You're from the south, you know that," the old man said in a low voice. From time to time, his eyes glanced around.

"I'll take a look!?", Wu Sanye's heart moved when he heard this.

The thin old man was not surprised, and handed the box to Wu Sanye.

"I want this thing!" Wu Sanye just opened a small gap in the box and said categorically.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and his expression immediately became strange, "The third master really plans to take this thing, I heard that this thing is evil, I don't dare to take him home to ......."

"When did Uncle Dog's courage become so small? When I first went to the ground, I always took you as an example!"

"You can't say that...... Since you want to, I can still stop you!? It just so happens that the kid shouldn't be able to get the money, I wish someone would buy him away!", the old man seemed a little unhappy.

"That's okay, give me the phone, I'll transfer the money to you now, 3000 is right?", said Wu Sanye and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

A few minutes later, Wu Sanye walked with the old man to the young man who was caught by the fat man with the black wooden box in one hand.

"This kid, can you give it to me?", Wu Sanye looked at the young man, then at the old man, and said thoughtfully.

"As you like, it's useless to keep him ...... fart", before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Sanye, "Ersheng, give him to me!"

The fat black man glanced at the thin old man, and when he saw him nodding, he let go of the hand that was holding the young man.

Seeing the young man who seemed to have been amnesty, his eyes fluttered and he looked at a few people, Wu Sanye said in a deep voice, "Don't play tricks, follow me!"

Hearing this, the young man nodded quickly and snorted.

"Uncle Dog, if you have any treasures in the future, don't forget me Wu San!", after speaking, Wu San walked away without looking back. The young man obediently followed him.

......

"Thank you for saving me just now", the young man from the antique street was standing in a palatial room with his head bowed at this time.

And Wu San, who brought him here, sat on a chair not far in front of the young man, fiddling with the pottery plate he had just bought.

"You think too much, if I hadn't seen what I'm looking for, I wouldn't have been too lazy to wade into this troubled water, but since you said so, it's not too much for you to help me do something, right?"

"What are you going to let me do?", the young man's voice trembled.

Wu San looked up at him and sneered, "Don't worry, it's not illegal, just go and send me a courier", as he spoke, Wu San put the pottery tray back into the black wooden box, and picked up a note from the table behind him and handed it to the young man.

"This is the address, bring me the receipt after sending it out, and you can go!"

"Well, I see," the young man took his things and turned to leave.

"Wait, what's your name?", Wu San suddenly asked.

"I... My name is Sun Yu, is there anything else wrong with the third master?", the young man was suddenly stopped by the other party and was startled.

"Oh, it's okay, just send it with your name. Panzi, you pay Xiaosun for a trip, go and come back quickly", Wu San thought about it and was still a little uneasy, and waved his hand to call the burly man who had been standing at the door in.

"Okay, Third Master, let's go, little ghost ......", Pan Zi's voice was a little hoarse, he answered Wu San, and turned around and left with Sun Yu.

Seeing Pan Zi and the others walk out of the room, Wu San took out his mobile phone and broadcast a string of numbers, "Hey, the photo of the thing has been received?...... I've already sent someone to send it to you by courier, and I'll give you the tracking number later...... , just hit my account, huh...... I said that I would pay 500,000 ...... first".

Wu San, who hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, opened the mobile phone album, and looked intently at the pottery plate in the photo, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed that the burned cigarette burned Wu San's fingers, making him stand up with a stirring spirit.

Wu San quickly enlarged a certain edge of the pottery plate in the photo, until it was still clear to the limit.

Only then did he realize that there was an imperceptible crack in the edge of the pottery plate.

He had inspected the pottery plate many times before, and judging from his years of experience, the pottery plate came from the Eastern Han Dynasty or even earlier, and it seemed that it had undergone some kind of treatment, and its surface was as smooth as porcelain.

It stands to reason that after so many years, it is not uncommon for some flaws to appear on the pottery plate.

And what made Wu San feel weird was not this crack, but the faint and terrifying grimace that a few wisps of black gas floating out of that tiny crack condensed in the sky above the pottery plate.

Wu San suddenly remembered those rumors about the pottery plate, and even he, who had long been surprised by the strange things in the tomb, couldn't help but shudder.
