Chapter 67: Touching the Golden Talisman
Meng Hu kept greeting acquaintances he met on the road. We didn't dare to talk much, and after walking for a while, we returned to Meng Hu's house.
Feng Laonong said: "What kind of bird is written on the coffin? "
Yang Kexing said: "It was written by Cao Mengde. "
Feng Laonong asked Wan Bao to take out the things he found in the coffin and let everyone take a look.
Wan Bao took it out and put it on the table. I glanced at them and saw that these things turned out to be five gold touch talismans! These gold talismans are tied with golden silk threads, and when you touch them, you know that those silk threads are actually gold threads. Each charm is four or five centimeters long, with an animal tooth at the front and a hollow gold flower at the back. Looking closely at the ornament, it looks like some kind of beast.
Wan Bao said: "The ancestor lied to me. These are gold talismans, not the stuff on my dace shovel. But we can be regarded as a great creation. A total of fifteen gold talismans were made back then, and now we get five at a time! "
Feng Lao Nong picked one up and looked at it, and then casually hung the golden talisman around his neck. Chao Wanbao smiled and said, "There are five miles here, you might as well sell a favor and give me a yesterday." "
Wan Bao smiled and said, "Take it, give it to you." These are not the things I want. "
After Yang Kexing heard this, his eyes turned green. I didn't say anything polite, but reached out and took one. Then he threw the fake gold talisman hanging around his neck on the ground. Really hung this up. Wu Feifei also reached out and took one. Meng Hu saw that there were two more, so he also took one. I've heard Wan Bao just say he doesn't want it. So he took the last one and put it in his hand to play with.
I looked down at the fake one that Yang Ke was still on the ground, and saw that the fake one was white. And what came out of the tomb was yellowish and translucent. It's a lot like cow horns or something. I asked Wan Bao what it was made of, and Wan Bao replied that it was made with the claws of a pangolin.
Feng Laonong asked Wan Bao if he was so sure that these were true yesterday. Wan Bao replied that the world thinks that the gold touch talisman is made of wild boar teeth, so he can see at a glance that the gold touch talisman that has been circulated in the world is fake. The real gold touch talisman is made with the claws of that pangolin spirit, so that it has divine power. And his ancestors once said that Cao Cao had instructed before his death not to bury anything in his tomb. The underwater bucket we poured this time is all in line with the characteristics of Cao Cao's tomb.
Such a big official, even bigger than the emperor's official, why didn't he let the funeral stuff go in? I asked Wanbao.
Wan Bao said: "Cao Cao dug other people's graves before his death to obtain funeral property as military resources. Therefore, before he died, he was afraid that others would dig his grave in the future, so he made special arrangements not to bury anything in his tomb. to cut off the thoughts of the earth's masters. This is the so-called not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves. If he did this, no one would think of digging his grave. "
I looked at the gold talisman and thought it was quite cute, a very good object. When I put it around my neck, I remembered that I already had a string of Buddhist beads around my neck. I thought about it for a moment and decided not to do it. Because I have already seen the effect of the Buddha beads, and this so-called gold touch talisman has not been seen powerful. But according to the legend, it is just a thing to ward off evil spirits and show identity. And Wanbao has worked hard for so long, but he has not gained anything, which makes me feel a little guilty.
I handed the gold talisman to Wan Bao and said I don't want it, I can't use it. After some resignation, Wanbao accepted it.
Seeing that it was almost morning, Meng Hu went to the stove house to clean up the food, saying that the matter was over and he wanted to have a drink. We all readily agreed. After a while, the wine and food were served, and after everyone ate and drank a lot, they went to sleep with a drunken spirit.
The next day, Meng Hu was going to the market on a motorcycle to buy meat and wine, but was stopped by Feng Laonong. Feng Laonong proposed to return to Zhengzhou, but Wan Bao and Meng Hu tried their best to keep him. Feng Laonong explained to the two of them, saying that they were in a hurry and wanted to go back quickly. And when he left, he also promised Father Yang that he would return as soon as the matter was done. So be sure to go today.
Meng Hu and Wan Bao saw that they couldn't keep us, so they helped us pack our things. Meng Hu rode a motorcycle to the market and called a van to stop on the road by the river. A few of us got into the car before they went back.
When I arrived at Anyang Bus Station, I bought a ticket to Zhengzhou. A few of us discussed the next steps.
Feng Lao Nong is ready to sell his things and have a good time in Zhengzhou for a few days. Then go back to Pingyu. At the beginning of December, I will go back to Zhengzhou and wait for Wu Tian and them.
When I returned to Zhengzhou, it was already dark. After Yang Xingxing arranged us to the hotel, we went back to the antique city store. We slept until the next morning, when Yang came to us with a few new clothes. After we changed into new clothes, we took our things to Father Yang's store together. Feng Laonong handed over the things he brought out to Father Yang, saying that it was for him. Father Yang refused, and after calculating the price. He returned the jade wine cup, jade pillow, cash and other things that we had temporarily stored with him to Old Farmer Feng.
Feng Laonong left the jade pillow to Yang's father, and asked Yang's father to keep it temporarily, and if he met a big buyer, he would sell it. Then I polished the jade material when making the jade pillow and made a few small pendants, and gave one to Father Yang and each of us. After Father Yang excused himself, he had no choice but to accept it. I took a look at the one given to me, green, I don't know what shape it is, and the carved knife work is not as good as Cao Xu's.
In the days that followed, we bought a few good clothes at the Asia Mall and went in and out of the high-end hotels every day. I have tasted Moutai, Wuliangye, Wang Ba Soup, Abalone Fin, and Swallow's Nest.
After playing, a few of us said goodbye to Yang Kexing and Yang's father. And agreed to come back in more than ten days. Then they went back to Pingyu together.
After arriving in Pingyu, Feng Laonong divided the money from the sale this time. It sold for a total of 35,000 yuan. Everyone shared a million. The remaining 2,000 yuan was temporarily kept by Feng Laonong, and when he returned to Luozhuang to see his father coming, he let him treat him.
Wu Feifei went home to see his grandfather. I went back to my uncle's house to see him. The 11,000 yuan I got was handed over and 10,000 yuan was deposited by my uncle. The remaining 1,000 yuan, I took it myself, and invited those brothers to drink wine and eat meat.
Soon, it's almost December. Feng Laonong rushed over from Luozhuang, and after eating and drinking together in Pingyu for a few days, we returned to Zhengzhou by car.
Every day in Zhengzhou, I had nothing to do, so I went to Yang's shop to help, and at the same time learned some knowledge about antiques. We lived like this every day, waiting for Wu Tian and their arrival.
