Uncle Ming showed me the album, which was full of all kinds of coffins, the coffin lids were all open, revealing the dried corpses inside, the ages and styles were different, some of them were one coffin and one corpse, and there were also two corpses lying on their sides, they were husband and wife who shared a coffin, and there were dozens of dried corpses concentrated in a huge coffin, and the outside was covered with transparent cabinets that isolated the air.

I asked Uncle Ming what these dried corpses do? Some people collect antiques, but the real "bone Dong" can't imagine that there are also people who want it, I have heard that the dried corpses in Xinjiang can be sold for a lot of money, but it is really the first time to collect so much, and it is a bit eye-opening.

Uncle Ming said that many foreign museums specialize in purchasing well-preserved ancient corpses, and the research value and appreciation value of these corpses are a kind of document that solidifies the beauty of eternal death, which contains great commercial value and cultural value.

Uncle Ming said to me, Brother Hu, since you have seen my collection, can you let me see the ancient mirror of the corpse that you got from Yunnan? The price is yours, or whichever one of my antiques you like, you can exchange them.

I secretly thought in my heart, this Uncle Ming is a knowledgeable person, maybe he knows the origin of the bronze mirror is not known, it is better to set a set of porcelain, not to tell him that the ancient mirror has long ceased to exist, so I asked Uncle Ming, what is the origin of this mirror?

Uncle Ming said with a smile: "Brother Hu also talked to me, this bronze mirror is of little use to you, but it is of great use to me, there is nothing more evil in the world than this, speaking of history, although I have not seen it with my own eyes, but at that time, as soon as I heard a few friends from the antique shop talk about it, I immediately thought that it must be an antiquity before the pre-Qin Dynasty." Qin Shi Huang is a Legalist, you should know this, right? ”

I only remember that during the Cultural Revolution, there was a period of "criticizing Confucianism and commenting on the law", as if some Legalist doctrine had been mentioned, and I couldn't figure out what was going on at all, so I had to nod my head without pretending to understand, and the big golden tooth said beside me: "We all know that there is such a family when a hundred schools of thought contend, which is a theory of governing the country." By the middle of the Han Dynasty, after respecting Confucianism, it became extinct. ”

Uncle Ming continued: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, the bronze mirror that can suppress corpses and evil spirits is a symbol of Legalism. According to legend, it was built in Ziyang Mountain, can be according to the four dimensions of heaven and earth, etiquette, righteousness and shame, according to records, there were x corpses in the Yellow River in the wind and waves, and the ship was destroyed, the king of Qin ordered people to hang this mirror at the mouth of the river, and sent troops to guard it, until the Qin and Han dynasties replaced, this ancient mirror fell into the hands of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, and finally somehow fell to Yunnan again, the ancient mirror that can be installed on the bronze coffin to restrain the corpse, there is no second side in the world, you give it to me. I won't let you suffer. ”

I listened to a rough idea, although I felt a little pity in my heart, but there is no regret medicine sold in this world, and the price is appropriate, but I have nothing in my hand, so I told Uncle Ming bluntly, I don't have any ancient mirrors at all, and they are all fat people running trains with their mouths. What he said at the front door, you have to go to Babaoshan to listen.

After speaking, I was about to get up and say goodbye, but Uncle Ming didn't seem to believe it, and kept it again and again, so I had to stay for a meal. Uncle Ming still thought that I was reluctant to part with love, so he took out an ancient jade and held it in front of me, I knew at a glance that this was not a vulgar thing, and he meant to "shoot" (exchange) with me, and there were rules for doing our business, and if you wanted to show others, you must first put it on the table, and wait for the other party to pick it up and see it, and you can't hand it over directly, because this thing is very valuable, once it falls to the ground and is damaged, you can't tell who is responsible.

Since Uncle Ming held it in his hand, I didn't take it well, I only looked at it twice, although it was only the thickness of the little finger, but it was definitely a licensed commodity with a sea price, next to this thing, I felt that the scorching heat outside was all gone.

The big gold tooth likes jade the most, and it is full of praise: "The ancients said, jade is in the mountains and wood, produced in the water and flowing, although this jade phoenix is small, but once it is taken out, it feels that the whole room is so moist, it really makes me feel comfortable, dare to ask which lady in the Tang Dynasty wore it?" ”

Uncle Ming smiled proudly: "Brother Jin still has eyesight, which lady?" Although "The Remains of Tianbao" is a romance, but there is no lack of real materials, which says that Yang Guifei contains jade to quench thirst, which refers to this piece of jade, this material is carved with a piece of ancient jade that has been sunk in the sea for tens of millions of years, jade nature is moist, immersed in seawater for a long time, and it increases benign, can diarrhea heat and dryness, soft and hard detoxification, is a priceless treasure, and it is also my favorite thing.

The big gold tooth looked straight: "Since ancient times, when the ancient corpse was like a living corpse, there must be a large amount of beautiful jade in its abdomen, and the ancient jade taken out of the zongzi is priceless, not to mention that this is the ...... that the concubine Niangniang holds in her mouth every day" As she spoke, she poked her neck over and stretched out her sweet head to lick it.

Uncle Ming hurriedly retracted his hand: "Is there any mistake, not now, after changing it to you, you can lick it as much as you want, you just hold it in your mouth every day, and there is no problem." ”

Uncle Ming saw that I didn't speak, thinking that the price code was not enough, so he took out a scroll of ancient paintings, put on gloves, unfolded it for us to see, and said to me As long as you nod your head, the deep sea jade, plus this volume of the Song Dynasty's authentic "Luoxia West Cow Picture", will be all yours.

I thought to myself that this Uncle Ming has a lot of good things, I opened my eyes first and then said, so I was noncommittal, and looked at the ancient paintings, although our group of people poured antiques on weekdays, but rarely touched calligraphy and painting, and had not seen many authentic works at all, but these years of dealing with antiquities, this kind of real thing, there is an intuition, plus I have seen a lot of murals in the ancient tombs, at a glance, I know that nine times out of ten it is also a genuine "elixir". (Elixir: Superb)

The structure of the whole work is two oblique cuts, the close-up is dominated by the rich woods, an old cow gnaws grass under the tree, the lines are simple and smooth, the brushwork is wonderful, the old cow's docile and calm demeanor is vividly outlined, there is a hut located in the forest in the middle of the scene, and the distant view uses light ink to express the mountain-shaped twilight of the distant mountains, the far, middle and near levels are connected naturally, rendered to cover the virtual and real, the light smoke and mist, like a layer of green sand covering, so that people have a cable, producing a sense of deep and remote, ethereal and comfortable away from the world.

Uncle Ming said that at night, when the light dimmed, the cow that was grazing under the tree would return to the grass hut to lie down and sleep, which was a rare treasure.

I was immediately stunned, although this painting is good, but the cow in the painting will move, that is too godly, I have heard that there are antiques commercial two paintings of the people, there is a traveler with an umbrella in the painting, the umbrella in the painting will be opened when it rains, in fact, it is two secretly exchanged, I don't know what it is a sacred object, this "Luoxia West Cow Picture" is afraid that it is so.

And Uncle Ming immediately covered the light, and then looked at the old cow in the painting, sure enough, it was lying next to the grass hut, and the place where the grass was originally eaten was empty, I was surprised, this ancient painting was painted by a god and man?

Uncle Ming did not hide it, and told the truth that this painting was dyed with the secret medicine in the palace, so there is this wonder, even if there is no link, this "Luoxia Cow Picture" is enough to buy more than a dozen sets of decent houses.

Uncle Ming took two more things, the price is getting higher and higher, it is really a bloody investment, it seems that he must have been wanting to do it for a long time, and seeing that I still refuse to agree, he will find something else.

I said to Uncle Ming: "We really opened our eyes today, we have grown a lot of knowledge in you, but I can't hide it, I did take the ancient mirror of the ancestor of the Legalist family, but there was an accident and I couldn't bring it out, otherwise we can really do this single-gun business, you spend so much blood for that ancient mirror, is it a sign that the zongzi in the house will be transformed?" If it's convenient, can you tell us, I know of a few ways to make a corpse. ”

I said to Uncle Ming again: "I don't think there is any need for us to have any scruples, we are all peers, your thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat is worshiped by the corpse in Xiangxi, even so, you must also understand this way, is there no way to deal with the corpse?" “

Uncle Ming's ancestors are indeed the corpse bearers of Xiangxi, "carrying the corpse" does not refer to carrying the dead behind him, but a way of robbing the tomb, digging a pit to disassemble the baffle of the coffin at the cross, and crawling into the coffin with his body upside down, and not daring to face down, doing all the "backhand work", these mysterious and weird rules, I don't know which dynasty and which generation have passed down, Uncle Ming's family has made a windfall by this, and later his father ran into the Xiangxi corpse king when he carried the corpse on Mayu, and gave away his life, and the last generation of corpse bearers came to an end thereBecause of the wealth of the family, and did not pass down the ancestral craft, he went to Nanyang to start a business, and finally settled in Hong Kong.

Later, it began to pour out the dried corpses, the desert, the Gobi, the mountains, the wastelands unearthed dried corpses, if there is a little identity, well-preserved, buckle the name of a certain king, a certain general, a certain princess, you can sit on the ground and start the price, a million profits, more than anything can be profitable, the next family is more than some museums and exhibition halls private collectors and the like, of course, they are all traded underground.

Not long ago, an overseas museum came to talk to Uncle Ming about business, they had an ancient scripture obtained from Tibet, which recorded the strange phenomenon of the death of a Tibetan demon princess, she died because of a strange disease, and after her death became a glacier crystal corpse, which was recognized as a miracle, she was buried on the snow-capped mountain with the "nine-story demon building", and the scriptures even mentioned some specific clues about the location of the tomb.

This is the biggest business, but according to the information collected by Uncle Ming, this thousand-year-old glacier crystal corpse is extremely cold, and the yin qi is extremely heavy, if there is no Tibetan tribute to Master Padmasambhava's spiritual pagoda, ordinary people will die once they get close, but that kind of thing is impossible to get, in fact, the things that suppress the corpse are all useless, think about it, maybe use that ancient mirror, it is possible to carry her out of the nine-story demon building.

It's the first time I've heard of this term with Big Golden Tooth, but the legend of the Xiangxi Corpse King has been heard for a long time, what is the glacier crystal corpse in space? How is it better than the Xiangxi Corpse King?
