Chapter 584: Fakes
The jade pig dragon has been pondering in Ye Jiuqing's hands for decades, and with Ye Jiuqing's old way, he can't see the clues on this piece of jade, of course, this can't be blamed on Ye Jiuqing, this piece of jade was not originally left to the descendants of the Peng family, only specific people can know the secrets hidden inside.

But I thought that the jade pig dragon is rare, how can this thing have a source, and some people are far more familiar with jade ancient artifacts than me, I took the jade pig dragon to the Sifang pawnshop, and saw Zhao Yan and Cheng Qianshou playing in the corner alley at the door.
These two people are also enemies, it seems that everything has to be won or lost before they are willing to give up, one identifies the authenticity of the utensils, and the other specializes in making fake fakes, so they have been fighting in Xiaoguanmiao for most of their lives, and they are still happy to do it when they are old.
I hadn't seen the two of them for almost five years, and everyone I knew was getting older with the passage of time, and I hadn't recognized them when I first saw these two gray-haired old men.
Between the chessboards, there are only twists and turns, and the intriguing endgame remains, and the two of them are engrossed in contemplation, I stood next to me for a long time, and no one looked up at me.
If you can't tell the winner, I guess these two people can really sit here until they get old.
"The car is one and two." I stretched out my hand to move Zhao Yan's black chess, and then said to Cheng Qianshou. "Your side should be three into five, and this game of chess will be considered a draw."
The two of them looked up in anger almost at the same time, it is estimated that when the two of them were playing chess in Xiaoguanmiao, no one dared to watch the chess, let alone who dared to touch the chess pieces of the two of them.
"You ......" Seeing that it was me, the two sighed helplessly, and Zhao Yan was unwilling to argue with Cheng Qianshou. It's not Chaoge to stir up the game, you are doomed to lose this game. ”
"It's almost the same if you lose, Chaoge is to give you face, and you will make peace, otherwise I will definitely lose if I have seven soldiers and one of them." Cheng Qianshou argued with reason.
"You're still going to do it, try it all over again, take your chess back and see who wins."
"It's endless, how old are you, and you still care about winning or losing, and you two don't hate others to see jokes." I reached out and stroked the board.
"Hey, when you weren't there, this small temple was so clean, and I stopped it for more than five years, and as soon as I came back, I got a miasma." Zhao Yan was unwilling to throw away the chess pieces in his hand.
"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, Feng Cheng has taught you since childhood, where have you learned?" Cheng Qianshou also gave me a blank look.
"Yo, you two also know that you haven't seen me for five years, just passing by Guo Blind's shop, that grabbed my hand and didn't let go, chattering endlessly, the heat made me a little helpless, but Guo Blind is also a temperamental, and he knows that he will miss me if he doesn't see me for five years, how can I look at you two and don't seem to have any reaction."
I am older than them combined, but I am still used to calling them uncles, and in Gu Chaoge's memory, they are my relatives.
"Aren't you back, and you don't lack arms or legs, do you still expect me to hug you and cry?" Zhao Yan reached out and pinched my face, and actually smiled at Cheng Qianshou. "Old thing, do you remember, this kid was only so tall when he first came here."
Zhao Yan used his hand to compare a height, and continued with emotion: "And it's as thin as a monkey, it's grown so big this moment, it looks like the two of us are really old." ”
"Otherwise, from now on, I will stay in Xiaoguan Temple and honor you two every day." I sat down on the chessboard and laughed.
"Don't, you can go as far as you want, the temple of Xiaoguan Temple is small, and it can't accommodate the Buddha of Gu Xiaoye, besides, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, you want to toss in other places, I still want to live leisurely for a few more years." Although Zhao Yan's words were sarcastic, his hand pinching my face gently stroked my head.
"Boy ......"
"Yes, don't say it, I know, the boy is ambitious in all directions, and staying in Xiaoguan Temple will not become the climate, and you hope that I can get ahead." I interrupted Cheng Qianshou with a smile.
"It's a man, why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? Cheng Qianshou sighed heavily, probably because he couldn't do anything about me, and said in a majestic voice. The shopkeeper has polished you for ten years, and I don't hope you can be a blockbuster and dominate, how many years have you been out and about, and I haven't heard of your name in the circle, and I'm embarrassed to come back and give us two old things. ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, all the ruins I found, any one of them was enough to cause a sensation, but none of them could be made public, and I didn't bother to argue with them.
"You two are big names, and when you come back today, I specially asked you two to give you a palm." I took the jade pig dragon out of my body and placed it in the middle of the chessboard, and said with a hippie smile. "Excuse me, what's the origin of this thing?"
The jade pig dragon has always been in Ye Jiuqing's hands, because the relationship is important and the involvement is widespread, Ye Jiuqing is worried that it will affect the pawnshop's brothers, and the jade pig dragon has never taken it out.
Zhao Yan picked up the jade pig dragon and looked at it carefully for a long time, he was known as the king of Hades, and the identification of antiques could judge the authenticity at a glance, the jade pig dragon had been in his hands for a long time, and the gaze in the reading glasses was cold, like the king of Hades holding the book of life and death.
Then he handed the jade pig dragon to Cheng Qianshou on the opposite side, and squinted at me: "What do you think of this jade pig dragon?" ”
I followed Zhao Yan to learn the identification of ancient artifacts, and later under the training of Cheng Qianshou to distinguish the true from the false, although the attainments are not as good as the two in front of me, but after all, they are all true, and the judgment is not far from ten.
My eyes fell on the jade pig dragon held by Cheng Qian, this ancient artifact is finely carved with Xiuyan nephrite, the shape is simple and majestic, the jade beast Jue the size of a finger, and the whole body is toothy white.
Fat head and big ears, the snout is flat, the triangular incision is not cut through the inner circle, the body is connected from end to end, curled in a clump, the back is drilled with round holes, and the face is engraved with inscribed lines to show eye circles and wrinkles, and the whole device is like a pig's embryo.
Because the pig is a dragon elephant, such a jade beast Jue is also called the jade pig dragon.
The jade pig dragon is a symbol of status and status, and one of the earliest dragon-shaped artifacts of the known era, which should not be regarded as mere ornaments, but as sacrificial ritual vessels representing a certain rank and power.
Originally, it was an artifact used to communicate heaven and earth and pray for rain, and it was also a totem.
If the jade pig dragon is hung with a rope, you will find that the dragon's mouth and tail are completely on a horizontal plane, which shows that when the jade pig dragon first appeared, this thing was used to hang high and be worshipped.
"As soon as you leave, you have not heard from us for five years, and as soon as you come back, you will take this thing and ask us, I'm afraid this artifact is not simple." Cheng Qianshou asked seriously.
"It is said that when Yu ruled the water, there was a dragon to the tail of the land, for Yu to point out the route of the flood, so there is a vast river in later generations, so there will be ancestors pious worship, that is a kind of oracle power, and the jade pig dragon is actually on behalf of Ying Long, this thing has a supreme divine power." I looked back and forth to see no one around, and said to the two of them in a low voice. "Ying Long is a flying dragon with two wings......"
"Feather Dragon ......" Zhao Yan was taken aback, and immediately became cautious. What does this thing have to do with that ship? ”
I nodded, pointed to the jade pig dragon and said, "There should be a clue to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace hidden on it, but I have never been able to decipher the secret, so I want to trace it back to the source of this jade." ”
"If you want to find the origin of this jade pig dragon, this matter will be in big trouble." Zhao Yan pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Why?" I frowned.
"Because this jade pigrosaurus is a fake." Zhao Yan blurted out.
"Fake?!" I was surprised, this thing was found by Ye Jiuqing from the Jiqu Tomb, although the Longbo people had already entered it, but in order to lure out the Guiru people, they did not move the things inside, and it was impossible for anyone to move this jade pig dragon.
Cheng Qianshou was silent for a moment, and rubbed it back and forth in his hand a few times: "Theoretically, this thing is indeed fake. ”
Zhao Yan and Cheng Qianshou both judged that something was a fake at the same time, so it was absolutely impossible for this thing to be real, and I was dumbfounded for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"Where did you get this?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Found in the ancient tomb of Jiqu in Beibi Mountain."
"It was even more wrong in those days......" Zhao Yan said thoughtfully.
"Uncle Cheng, you just said that this thing is theoretically fake? What does this mean? ”
"As an ancient jade, this artifact should belong to the early and middle Western Zhou Dynasty, but it retains the characteristics of Hongshan culture in the shape of the vessel, and at the same time, some details and craftsmanship can still see the traces of the ancient Shu Kingdom." Cheng Qianshou said to me seriously. "The fact that the same artifact has the characteristics of craftsmanship from three different periods at the same time shows that it is a fake, but there are very few fakes like this, because even if this jade pig dragon is a fake, it is also a priceless fake."
"Red Mountain, Ancient Shu and Western Zhou?" The more I listened, the more dazed I became, a jade pig dragon had such a long span. "Can you tell the origin of this jade pig dragon?"
"It's really hard to say for a while, and even if I ask myself, I can't make such a beautiful utensil." Cheng Qianshou glanced up at me. "Zhao Yan is known as the king of Hades, and even he can't tell the dynasty at a glance, you can imagine the bizarre nature of this thing."
It was rare that these two people could work together to reach a consensus on one thing, and let me give them a few days to study the origin of the Jade Pig Dragon, and their attention was completely on the fake that had aroused their interest, and they didn't pay any attention to me, who had not seen me for five years, and left me and turned away.
They were obsessed with ancient artifacts, and I couldn't laugh or cry at the messy chess pieces alone, and sat across from me alone, looking up to see the unsmiling inheritance.
"Uncle Feng, I haven't seen you for five years, your body is ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you something." Feng Cheng interrupted me stiffly, looking a little puzzled and surprised.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, the world is really cold and the people are weak, I haven't seen me for five years, and no one has asked me more than half a sentence, as if they saw me yesterday.
"What's the matter?"
"What is the palace lord hiding from you?"
