1. The Cave of Taihang Chapter 3 The Eightfold Treasure Letter

On the weekend, I took the hand-drawn picture, about Fat Ru in the middle of the road in an antique city to meet, the antique city is called Beigong City, the scale is not large, compared with the Beijing Panjiayuan I have been to like a stall, although it is messy, but there are also a lot of connoisseurs and large stores, we did not hope for those stalls to swagger and deceive, directly into a door of the notice on the expert treasure store, of course, we have no antiques in our hands, only a picture, or I painted it myself. So unsurprisingly, it hit a wall all morning.

At noon, we had a little bite to eat at the small noodle restaurant at the gate of Beigong Castle, went to the Internet café next door to play a game for a while, and in the afternoon we humbly wandered around Beigong Castle.

"You said we've been looking for a day, either you don't know, or you blew us out, we've asked a lot about this peddler, where is the head? There's also an indoor antique city in the city center, and it's next to your house, so why don't you go there? "It's hot, Fat Ru is holding a popsicle in his hand, his T-shirt is up, his real body under the clothes is exposed to the sun, and sweat is wet his pants along the fat.

"Most of them are selling fakes, there are relatively few here, the scale is still larger, hold on a little longer, there is another one in front, if there is no progress, let's think of other ways." The fat man didn't say much after hearing this.

On the corner of Kitamiya Castle, a Chinese-style building with a gold plaque reading Fengcai Tang is very luxurious among the surrounding vendors and shops, with a Bentley Mulsanne and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked in front of the door.

"Why don't I think this store will help us?" The fat man wiped his face with a wet towel and said.

"Just go in and see." As I spoke, I had already stepped into the main entrance of the Maple Hall with one foot.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a little inconsistent, the interior of the store was very exquisite, but it was obvious that it did not match the appearance of the building seen outside the door, as soon as I entered, I could smell a special fragrance, it smelled like aromatherapy, and I looked around and found a bronze vessel on a small mahogany round table next to the display case, and wisps of white smoke wafted out of it. The base is a dragon, and on the dragon is a man holding the furnace body with one hand.

"Boshan incense burner?" I was thoughtful.

"Comrade Xiao Ran is so well-informed? Still know what this thing is? The fat man patted me on the shoulder, "What is this, is it worth it?" ”

"I saw this thing in the antique shop opened by my grandfather when I was a child, although I don't understand antiques, but I know that this incense burner is an object of the two Han Dynasty, and it is very rare, it can be said to be a national treasure, generally this kind of national treasure-level bronze is either state-owned, or a collection, this thing appeared in an antique shop in Dragon City, itself is not logical, so this is very likely to be fake."

Fat Ru pouted, "Cut, you can really pretend to be B, and you can make a fake to support the scene." Either they don't understand the idea of rich people. ”

"But there is a possibility," I touched my chin and deliberately lowered my voice, "If the thing is real, then there must be something wrong with this shop, it is illegal to resell this kind of national treasure, but since they are reselling cultural relics, they must have seen more things than those vendors outside, maybe they can see what the wooden box is......"

"What a wooden box?"

Before I could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind, it was very good, and I even smelled the faint fragrance on her body, but at this time, I and the fat man were in the mood to think about this, and stood there motionless.

I slowly turned around and didn't dare to look up at the man, "That... Sister, we're here to buy something, that ......"

I saw the woman, with a ponytail, fair skin, wearing a short black dress, looking a few years older than us, she smiled, "Oh~, yes, but I heard you talk about what wooden box?" Also, you seem to be interested in that incense burner. ”

I didn't know what to do, I looked at the fat man and found that this kid had already been hooked by the woman in front of me, and looked at her with a lewd smile.

"You're quite clever, the analysis is quite right, it is indeed the genuine product of the Dragon Descending Boshan Furnace, there are only two known, one is in the Xi'an Museum, and the other is here."

"Heh... ......"I didn't know what to say, so I could only smirk to hide my embarrassment."

The two sides were silent for a long time, and then the woman spoke, "Say, what are you doing here?" ”

"We want to ask you to do us a favor, and we really don't mean to offend."

"Hee-hee, come with me." So saying, the woman went upstairs.

I patted the fat guy and went up with the woman.

It's a two-story building, and from the second floor you can see the lobby on the first floor, and we were taken to a Huanghuali tea table, and the woman sat down slowly, and the whole movement was very elegant, "Sit down." ”

After we sat down, the woman began her "tea ceremony performance", the tea was brought to me and I took a sip, almost didn't spit it out, the tea is a good tea, Biluochun, but there is a very heavy rancid taste.

"Sister, this tea is rancid."

"You're not a guest, it's good to drink some"

I put down my teacup and smiled awkwardly.

"How do you want me to help you?"

My heart warmed, "This sister has a black belly, it's black, it's quite enthusiastic." ”

"It's nothing, just take a look at it and see if you recognize it," I said, pulling out the folded painting in my pocket.

The woman took the painting and looked at it and was stunned, but she tried to hide her surprise and said to me, "What are you looking for this?" ”

"Well, a friend asked me about this." I didn't tell her the facts, so I made up a random story.

"This thing is called the eightfold treasure letter, which is a set of box letters given by Tang Yizong to the gold and silver utensils to worship the Buddha Sakyamuni's true body Buddha finger relics. Judging from the picture, this is a silver-edged sandalwood treasure letter, which is the eighth treasure letter. But this thing is in Baoji Famen Temple. ”

"How could it be...... "I only saw this thing last week.

After that, I didn't say anything, and I returned with Fat Ru in vain. I don't know if the old man will ever find me, I don't know what the silver-rimmed top has to do with me, why the old man deliberately let me see it. The clue seemed to come to an abrupt end.
