As soon as I heard the old man's words, I immediately came to my senses, and the old man said clearly, he knew the characters in these photos.

"Old man, tell me, what is on it, is it an ancient character?"

"It's an ancient word."

After the old man's identification, it can be determined that the characters on these stone tablets are indeed ancient characters, a very special kind of ancient characters.

The process of the old man knowing these ancient characters was very accidental and unexpected, it was fifteen or sixteen years ago, at that time, the old man had not washed his hands, and his energy was more vigorous than now, and he was a first-class palm eye in the ancient line (the person who identifies the authenticity of antiques is called a palm eye in the jargon).

At that time, there were a few people who went to Tibet to poach Tibetan antelopes, and they came to a place called Qionglongweikar. Qiong Ngungweikar is Tibetan, and if translated into Chinese, it means "Dapeng Silver City".

Dapeng Silver City has a special and important position in history, firstly, it is the important town of the ancient Zhangxiong Dynasty, it is said to be the capital of the ancient Zhangxiong, and secondly, it is also a necessary place on the Silk Road. Because the Zhangzhung Dynasty, like the Mayan culture in South America, seemed to disappear overnight, the places or objects related to the Zhangzhung Dynasty have a certain sense of mystery and attraction.

The poachers did not poach the Tibetan antelope, but they unintentionally dug up two stone slabs. The slate is finely polished, and some characters are engraved on it.

These two slate slabs have been wandered into the mainland, before this, no one has ever seen this kind of slate, and the characters on the slate, a little experienced people can see that this must be an old thing, not artificially old, but this kind of thing is a unique product, because there is no corresponding reference to make a comparative reference. In the jargon of the ancient line, such a thing is called "meat goods".

Everyone will maintain a very cautious attitude towards meat, it may be valuable, but it may also be smashed into the hands and lose all the money. At that time, someone wanted to accept these two stone slabs, but they couldn't eat them accurately, so they found the Ma Devil and wanted the Ma Devil to help take a look.

When the Ma Devil saw the rubbings of these two stone slabs, he was also confused, because he had never seen them before. But he is a face-saving person, and he refuses to let people know that there are other things he can't recognize, so Ma Devil told an old friend who has known him for many years about it, and asked the other party to follow for reference.

The old friend of the hemp devil is on the right path, a real expert-level character. But it is impossible for experts to know the world, and the two of them can only sigh at the characters on these two unique stone tablets.

This is the first time in his life that the hemp devil has planted his head, and he can't hang his face.

Whether these two slate slabs were finally sold or not, the hemp devil doesn't know. About a year later, his friend called him and brought it up again.

After the two stone slabs flowed out of Huayang, I don't know how to hand them over to the public. At that time, a special research group was set up to do research on slate characters, and the friend of Ma Devil was also in the research group. The research team did a lot of work and finally came to the conclusion that the characters on the two stone tablets had never been found before, but in terms of the structure of the characters, there were similarities with some of the ancient Zhangzhung characters that have been unearthed so far.

The characters on the tablets were finally concluded by a Bon monk, who said that this script and the Zhangzhung script are of the same origin, and may have been used in the sacrificial activities of the Zhangzhung Dynasty. Although it is from the same origin as the Xiangxiong script, its function is completely different, and the meaning of the words is also very different, and only a few priests who were in charge of the sacrifice at that time recognized it. The Zhangzhung Dynasty has mysteriously disappeared for so many years, and the text used in this ritual has obviously become a dead script, and it is impossible for anyone to decipher the meaning of the words.

The study of the characters on the two slates has come to an end, thanks to the fact that the old man has a super good memory, and he can recognize that the characters in the photos I took are exactly the same as some of the characters on the two slates back then.

I don't have any research on what Zhangzhung culture is, but there is still some relevant geographical knowledge, the Zhangzhung Dynasty was at its peak, it was located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but their sphere of influence never touched the northwest region. The Danmeng Basin and the Zhangxiong Dynasty are still far apart, how can the sacrificial text that originally belonged to Zhangxiong appear in Danmeng?

The only explanation can only be that the two regions have had a great degree of cultural exchange and mutual penetration.

Although I can't decipher these sacrificial texts, at least I know the origin of these characters. I am very grateful to the old man Ma and express my admiration and admiration. As soon as a few big hats were buttoned, the old man was happy, and poured the tea from my cup and replaced it with better tea.

While the old man was happy, I took out the dzi that Wu Po had given me. The old man must have seen a lot of good things in his life, even if he told him about the heirloom treasure of the longevity box at that time, he didn't show any unusual expression. But when he saw this dzi, the old man's eyes obviously flashed with a bright light, and he ran back to the bedroom to get a pair of glasses.

This time, the old man didn't look at it for that long, about five minutes, he took off his glasses and asked me, "This thing, is it yours?" ”

"It's mine." I nodded, I didn't say the specific origin of this thing, this dzi came too strangely, but Wu Po had already made it very clear that the thing was mine.

"Since it's yours, then you're developed." The old man solemnly handed over the dzi to me again, and said, "When you get to Beijing, you can change the courtyard house." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" I was really taken aback, I knew that the approximate price of the real dzi was definitely sky-high, but it was not that expensive.

"This is the oldest dzi, the ancestor of the dzi." The old man said with certainty: "People in the industry say that the nine-eyed dzi is the best, but although the nine-eyed dzi is few, it has not yet reached the point of being a unique product. This kind of thing can't just be measured by money, sometimes, there may be people who pass this thing over, and their fortunes will change. ”

The old man has seen a lot of good goods, when I was drinking with Blind San'er, Blind San'er said that someone wanted to buy a dzi in the past, and asked the old man Ma and another connoisseur to go over to palm, and after getting the approval, the buyer decisively bought it, spending 23 million. Later, during the financial crisis, the buyer was unlucky, and he almost jumped off the building, forcing him to have no way out, so he took this dzi to sell it, and sold it for 60 million, at least to save his life and not die, and gradually eased up after a few years.

Blind San'er said that the buyer did not buy this dzi at that time, and the more than 20 million yuan had to be spent elsewhere, and when the financial crisis came, he would directly braid, and there would be no chance to turn over.

This kind of thing, I just listen to it as a story, and I never associate these old things with fortune or anything.

"What, don't you believe me?" The old man rolled his eyelids: "Do you know Lu Fangding?" ”

"Old man, are you kidding, who doesn't know Lu Fangding if you are a person who mixes in the ancient line."

The industry of Guxing is the same as all industries in the world, pyramid-shaped, and there are always a few people standing at the top of the tower. Lu Fangding is the person on the spire of the ancient line, and the ancient business in Huayang and several surrounding areas, which Lu Fangding directly or indirectly controls, must have 40%. In my opinion, the kind of person who receives and looks for goods in Blind San'er is already a big deal, but whether a character like Blind San'er can eat depends on Lu Fangding's mood.

"Twenty years ago, Lu Fangding was nothing, he just took shit luck and found a triangular dzi similar to yours, and exchanged the dzi for money, so he mixed it up."

Twenty years ago, the dzi market could not be compared with now, and Lu Fangding's dzi was sold at a loss. However, he relied on that money to gain a firm foothold in the ancient industry, and in twenty years, he became the leader in the ancient industry.

I listened to the old man's words, but I still didn't think so, Tianzhu just gave Lu Fangding a chance to make the business bigger and sit firm, relying on people's real skills.

However, I just think so in my heart, I will definitely not tell the truth and make the old man unhappy.

"You dzi, I dare to guarantee it, it's genuine." The old man fell in love with me, knowing that I had such a good thing in my hand, and seemed to be even happier than me: "I can't spend all the flowers lying down in this life." ”

"I haven't planned to sell it yet." I am also happy in my heart, there is no one who does not love money, I opened a shop in the morning and night at Qikongqiao, in order to make money, but this dzi is not a simple cultural relic for me, so I really have no intention of selling it for the time being.

"Nope." The old man shook his head, restrained the smile on his face, and said to me seriously, "I advise you, it's better to sell it." ”
