Volume 2 Xuanwu Mystery Burial Chapter 74 Longbow County (I)

Last time, it was said that Shen Yifan saw a place about Longbow County in the teahouse, and a feng shui level was marked on the map, and this feng shui level corresponded to the seat of the Seven Star Immortal Palace of Beidou Mountain, which became the dragon's eye and dragon horn of the great feng shui level on the land of China, Shen Yifan guessed that the Luofeng Tablet Shop in Longbow County may have a close connection with Beidou Mountain and Yuanzhou.

After Shen Yifan heard Yu Mengcheng talk about the Zhang family's mansion in Longbow County, he was very interested in this mansion, and at the same time he was also very interested in the proprietress of this hotel, he felt that this proprietress was very interesting, why should he recommend a haunted house for them to go sightseeing.

Shen Yifan felt that it was necessary to test this proprietress first, he told Yu Mengcheng about this idea, and Yu Mengcheng also felt that Shen Yifan was right, thought for a while and said, "Let's explore this hotel tonight." ”

Yu Mengcheng thought about it again and said, "I'll go to the periphery of the Zhang family's compound during the day to have a look." You wander around the county to see if there are any other clues or legends about the place. ”

Tomb robbing and Chinese medicine have the same effect, both pay attention to looking and hearing. Yu Mengcheng asked Shen Yifan to wander around the county town and listen to clues and legends, which was a trick to hear words. Many places have names related to local legends, which in turn are related to local tombs and the like.

Shen Yifan naturally understood this meaning, nodded and came to the window alone to look at the streets of the county, feeling that there should be a lot of stories in this Longbow County, at this time a big tall man on the street attracted Shen Yifan's attention, this big tall man delivered food to this hotel, very tall at first glance, at least more than 1.95 meters, very burly, dark skin, a bald head, what people pay the most attention to is the tattoo on the back of this big man, this big man is full of tattoos because he is covered by clothes, and he can't see everything, but looking at the neck and shoulders should be a picture, but what exactly the picture is unknown.

Yu Mengcheng leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Shen Yifan pointed and said, "The tattoo on that big man's body." There are still such good tattoos in this kind of county. ”

Yu Mengcheng looked at it and said: "It seems that this Longbow County is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, you and I must be careful and low-key when acting alone." ”

Shen Yifan nodded and said, "I know." ”

Shen Yifan and Yu Mengcheng went their separate ways, Yu Mengcheng went to the Zhang family's mansion, while Shen Yifan wandered around the county all the way to see if there were any clues.

The words are divided into two ends. Shen Yifan walked alone on the streets of the county seat, and he really didn't have any purpose, just what kind of wandering. The pace of life in Longbow County is very slow, and it is already nine o'clock in the morning, but the shops in Dadu on the street have not yet opened except for drinking tea and playing cards.

This is an antique shop, there is a signboard of old objects hanging at the door, and the word 'Feng' is written on it, Shen Yifan looked at which sign and walked to the store.

There was an old man in his fifties in the store, a thin man wearing a black gown, a certain melon skin hat, a three-bearded beard, a bit of buckteeth and small eyes, looking a bit like a rat spirit reincarnation, a mouse face.

Seeing Shen Yifan walk in, he walked over with a smile on his face and said, "This little brother, what do you need help with?" ”

Shen Yifan is slender, with a pair of jeans and a white shirt and a black casual suit, and his hair is done with a pair of Randolph sunglasses, looking like a rich young man.

The old man saw that Shen Yifan felt that a fat sheep was coming, and hurriedly greeted Shen Yifan and invited him into the store, pouring tea and handing cigarettes, and said, "What does the little brother need?" ”

Shen Yifan looked around the store, seeing that there were few good goods in the store, all of them were Xibei goods, he smiled and said, "Boss! You don't have a lot of good things here! ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately became alert, but he still asked with a smile on his face, "Little brother, what kind of objects do you want?" ”

Shen Yifan said with a smile: "Let's start with a few rare objects." ”

When the old man heard this, he was in awe and bowed his hand: "The contemptible surname is Hong Dan, dare to ask the little brother's name?" ”

Shen Yifan smiled slightly and was about to drink a cup of tea, when he was stopped by the old man in Hong Zhong and said, "Little brother! Let's talk in the back room. There is good tea in the back room. ”

Although Hong Zhong has been very polite to Shen Yifan from the beginning to now, why does his attitude suddenly seem to have changed, in fact, Shen Yifan entered this store, Hong Zhong's politeness is out of business hospitality, a very ordinary attitude towards receiving guests, and now he looks polite but there is still a bit of awe in it, why do you say that? It is the word "rare" in Shen Yifan's sentence "Let's take a few rare things first", inside and outside the antique industry, in fact, a few words in the industry can weigh out the details. Take Shen Yifan's sentence that sounds like a very ordinary sentence!

"Let's start with a few strange things." Looking at the very ordinary people who practice it, they are in front of them and they are full of insiders, and the insiders are insiders in the word "rare", which is actually something that is not in the world, and it is basically out of the pit, and there is no one in the world.

In fact, most of the things in the world in the antique industry are Xibei goods, good things who will be put on the counter to trade, and the antique shop can not come to a few customers all year round, and the people who come are not fat sheep or human spirits, so good things will not be taken out casually, so insiders enter the door to ask for rare objects are actually to be objects that are not available in the world, who will run antique shops to find rare objects, all of them are running for old objects.

As soon as Shen Yifan said that he wanted a 'strange object', the old man in Hongzhong naturally heard that the person in front of him was an insider, and the insider was not easy to fool, so he hurriedly invited Shen Yifan into the back room to make compensation.

Hong Zhong said: "Xiao Ke is clumsy and doesn't see that the little brother is an insider. Wait a minute. ”

Hong Zhong asked Shen Yifan's name once, Shen Yifan did not answer, Hong Zhong naturally did not ask a second time, this is also the rule of the industry, buyers are unwilling to reveal their true identities, naturally sellers can't ask more, most of the strange objects are things that come out of the pit, these things are illegal, naturally most people are unwilling to reveal their names.

After a while, Hong Zhong was holding a wooden tray with yellow pears and a few small objects on it, looking at the dead pottery objects. Hong Zhong put down a smile and said, "Little brother, please get started." ”

Shen Yifan glanced at it from the corner of his eye, lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "It seems that Boss Hong doesn't believe me!" Get! Then I'll take my leave. ”

When Hong Zhong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't be impatient!" Waiting, I'm going to pick it up. So saying, he walked towards the curtain of the door.

Shen Yifan stood in place and faced a very inconspicuous thing like a pickaxe next to the curtain, and said, "Boss, slow down!" Show me the object. ”

Hong Zhong was a little puzzled when he heard this, pointed to the thing that looked like a mountain pickaxe and asked, "That's it?" ”

Shen Yifan nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Hong Zhong handed the object like a mountaineering pickaxe to Shen Yifan, Shen Yifan took it in his hand and looked at it, this thing is not too old, with a layer of black and gray on it, and it looks like a short pickaxe.

Shen Yifan looked at it and gently rubbed it on the handle of the pickaxe with his thumb, and a layer of dazzling silver actually came out of it, and there were some carvings on it.

Shen Yifan said: "Boss! How much does this stuff cost? I want it. ”

Hong Zhong looked at it and said, "This ...... Which ......" seems to be unsure of what to pay attention to.

In fact, this thing is a short pickaxe in Hong Zhong's eyes, although it is a little old, but it is still a thing of the Republic of China and is not worth anything at all, but this person in front of him should be an expert, why did he take a fancy to this short pickaxe!

Hong Zhongsi fu: "Is it that he has lost his eyes, and the person in front of him is actually a layman?" ”

Shen Yifan said: "It stands to reason that there should be a set of three pieces of this thing. The boss doesn't know if there are two other pieces? If I take it together, the price won't be bad for you. ”

As soon as Hong Zhong said this, his mind was even more foggy, and he thought about it and said, "Little brother, come with me." With that, he took Shen Yifan and left the antique store with Shen Yifan and headed towards another street.

After talking all the way, Shen Yifan learned that the antique shop was actually not this Hongzhong, but the industry of Hong Fa, the owner of the pawnshop in the county seat, Hong Zhong just had some eyesight to do business, and Hong Fa's cousin handed over the antique shop to Hong Zhong to take care of.

In the past, some pawnshops would also open an antique shop, and the antiques received in the pawnshop could be sold in the antique shop when they died, so the pawnshop owner would generally be the owner of the antique shop.

After a while, I arrived at the only pawnshop shop in the county, this pawnshop shop looked at the door for some years and still hung a 'Feng' word, looked up at the signboard, the signboard of vermilion lacquer gold characters 'Xingfeng pawnshop'.

When I walked into the pawnshop, I saw that it was the kind of old-fashioned pawnshop, with a high counter; sturdy fencing; There is a big courtroom sitting inside, Shen Yifan saw the word "Feng" at the beginning and thought of the "old court" before he walked into the antique shop, and now looking at the signboard with the word "Feng" at the door, he can't help but think of whether this Hongfa is also a person in the old court.

As soon as Hong Zhong entered the pawnshop, another shriveled old man on the counter said with this tooth flower: "I said cousin, you are not good at Xingfeng guarding, what are you doing in my Xingfeng pawnshop?" ”

Hong Zhong got into the counter and said a few words in the ears of Hong Fa, the shriveled old man stood up with his teeth and looked at Shen Yifan under the counter, thought for a long time and walked to the back room of the pawnshop, and after a while holding two kraft paper bags, he went out of the counter and urged Hong Zhong to close the door of the pawnshop and go to Xingfeng together.

After returning to Xingfeng, there was a person called Hong Zhong to close the door of Xingfeng, and then opened the contents of the kraft paper bag and put the short pickaxe together, Shen Yifan looked at it and said to himself: "Yes, these are the three things." ”

The old man at the pawnshop was Hong Fa. Later, in a conversation, I learned that Hongzhong; Hong Fa is really a cousin, but not the locals are fleeing from the war in Yubei Changgong County, the two brothers used to be in Shenhu was a pawnshop in the court, the boss pawnshop was robbed by the ruffians at that time, and the boss was also shot by the ruffians, and the brothers saw that there was no way to live in Shenhu and fled with the proprietress and his two sons, and the boss and his two sons fled together, and the boss and the family were unlucky, a cannonball just blew up on the carriage that pulled the proprietress family, and the two children and the proprietress were blown up. The two brothers fled all the way with the boss's 200 yuan of the current ocean, and fled here as soon as they escaped, and looked at the fact that they were far away from the war and settled here, and opened a pawnshop with the boss's 200 oceans, because the boss's former ownership still used the previous name 'Xingfeng' to hang the signboard left by the boss.

These two old men have never married a daughter-in-law and had a baby, and the two have been dependent on each other until now, and they are also older and are considering whether to leave the pawnshop and antique store to find a place to retire. In fact, the pawnshop and antique shop business has not been good in recent years, before there were some ordinary people who took some broken porcelain bowls to be, and then there were Taobao from outside, this pawnshop began to work, antique shops can be out of all the same, so you can only use the next three things to fill the scene.

Shen Yifan basically understood when he heard it, the two brothers Hongzhong and Hongfa actually didn't have any good goods in their hands, and the antique shop slaughtered fat sheep here, and they could hear that these three things were also the only old objects in their hands, and it was estimated that they wanted to buy a good price to support the elderly.

Shen Yifan looked at the three things on the table, smiled slightly and said, "So I'll get out of the ......" said and raised three fingers and said, "Three hundred thousand." ”

When the two old men heard this, they were all excited old tears, their hands trembled, and they almost knelt down in gratitude.

Shen Yifan said: "But tell me how you received these three things." ”

Hong Zhong and Hong Fa thought for a long time, and the two of them took a sip of tea at the same time and said, "This object has been sitting here for some years. I remember that when we first arrived in Longbow County, a foreigner brought this thing to be, as if it was five pieces of the ocean. ”

Shen Yifan said: "Is there a ticket? ”

Hong Fa said: "It's all about old age. When the ticket is long gone. But I remember that the man was not in his twenties at the time, and he was all injured and brought this little daughter-in-law and a newborn doll. ”

Shen Yifan didn't have any concept when he heard it, so he thanked Hong Zhong and Hong Fa, put down a bank card and left with three things. In fact, Shen Yifan's card was also given to him by Yu Mengcheng just in case, and when he returned to the hotel for 300,000 yuan, Yu Mengcheng was already in the room.

Yu Mengcheng saw Shen Yifan with three things packed in black plastic bags and asked, "Are you going to shop for goods?" ”

Shen Yifan said with a smile: "It's not just shopping for goods, but also three good things." ”

When Yu Mengcheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Show me." ”

Shen Yifan gave these three things to Yu Mengcheng and said, "With your 300,000 yuan, this object is yours." ”

Yu Mengcheng was also very surprised when he looked at it, and said, "Yifan! You kid is also out of shit luck. This backcountry has brought you something like this. ”

So what did Shen Yifan find? In addition to the short pickaxe mentioned earlier, there is also an umbrella and something like a Luoyang shovel.

Yu Mengcheng touched the black and gray on the short pickaxe, the silver and white dazzling makes people feel comfortable, the handle of the short pickaxe is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, the umbrella is not an ordinary umbrella, the whole body is made of stainless steel, it is also silver-white, open the umbrella surface, the umbrella surface is also the carving of auspicious clouds and rain, and the object that is like a Luoyang shovel is also engraved with the pattern of auspicious clouds.

In fact, these three things look like nothing more than that, they are all silver objects, but there are also mysteries hidden in them, it may be that this thing has been put in the 'Xingfengjia' for nearly half a century, and no one cares about it.

What exactly are these three things? Why did Shen Yifan spend a lot of money to buy them? What is the secret of the innkeeper in Longbow County and the big man with tattoos on his back?

Shen Yifan looked at the three objects in front of him and said with a smile: "The Three Treasures of Taosha."

What are the 'Three Treasures of Dust'?
