Chapter 68: The Bronze Mask

We followed Ye Jiuqing and the general back to the Sifang pawnshop for dinner, and as soon as we arrived at the door, we saw Feng Cheng coming out from inside.

"Blind Guo waited in the backyard for a long time, saying that he had to wait for you to come back."

"Guo is blind? What is he here for? Ye Jiuqing asked.

"I said I was here to congratulate you on your birthday."

", he's not unclear about the rules of my longevity." Ye Jiuqing frowned. "Go in and take a look."

In the backyard house, Guo Blind was restless and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and when Ye Jiuqing and us entered, his face was immediately full of smiles: "Yo, Brother Ye is finally back, you have a big birthday today......

"Come on, don't talk about polite words, you Guo Blind is a person who can't afford to be early, you can wait for me here for a while, I'm afraid it's not a little for me to congratulate my birthday, say, what's the matter?" Ye Jiuqing sat on the chair and waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Look at what you said, Brother Ye, I really haven't seen Brother Ye for a long time, plus you have a big birthday today, so you came here to walk around." Guo Blind sat next to Ye Jiuqing with a smile on his face.

"How many years have we known each other, you and I still need to be polite before, and go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, who in the circle doesn't know that you Guo Blind is the most well-informed, you come to me, is it possible that there is a deal?" Ye Jiuqing picked up the tea and asked casually.

"Where can my little news get into Brother Ye's eyes, I'm just making a little trouble to make some hard-earned money, how can I not compare with Brother Ye." After Guo Blind finished speaking, he carefully sent a porcelain vase to Ye Jiuqing. "A little heart, I hope Brother Ye will appreciate his face."

Ye Jiuqing didn't look at it, Zhao Yan next to him pushed me behind him, probably to see my skills, I walked up and picked up the porcelain bottle and looked at it for a long time, smiling.

"Yo, Uncle Guo is generous, as soon as he makes a move, he is a black glazed plum bottle from Dingyao, which is called a little heart, then Uncle Guo has to be serious." I turned around and smiled at Ye Jiuqing. "I'm afraid this thing will not be easy to collect, there is definitely something important to ask of you."

"How can you speak, as soon as you come back, you will mess up my green-backed business, and this account will not be settled for you." Guo Blind pulled me away in a hurry. "Don't mess around."

Ye Jiuqing put down the teacup and pushed the plum bottle back in front of Guo Blind: "We haven't known each other for a day or two, and we can be regarded as the same spirit, we are all people in this circle, you don't need to come here, you can say anything about it, I can help without prevarication." ”

"Brother Ye is righteous, I really congratulate you on your birthday today, and there is one more thing I want to ask Brother Ye for advice."

"People who have known each other for decades on the street, pointing out a fart, talking about something, don't ink." The general probably listened in a hurry.

Blind Guo hurriedly took out a wooden box from his body, opened it and took out a bronze mask, and sent it to Ye Jiuqing with both hands: "Brother Ye is well-informed, can you give it a look and see what the origin of this object is?" ”

The bronze mask on the table is oval and arc-shaped, the ears are erect, the hanging nose is protruding, the fangs are open-carved, the face shell is convex and concave, and the facial features are similar to the human face, and the shape is fierce, which can be worn on the face.

Judging from the shape and characteristics of these masks, they may be a kind of war mask.

"There are very few bronze masks worn by people unearthed, this is the first time I have seen them, and it is well documented that the bronze masks worn during the war can be traced back to the Zhongshan Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, so I estimate that this mask should also be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but I am not sure, so I ask Brother Ye for advice."

Ye Jiuqing was obviously attracted by this bronze mask, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head. "It's not an ancient artifact from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this bronze mask is much older."

"Not from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Guo was stunned.

Ye Jiuqing handed the bronze mask to Zhao Yan, he looked at it for a moment and shook his head and said that it was not an artifact from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhao Yan said that the bronze ware developed into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the lines on the utensils were thinner and denser, and the lines on this mask were extremely rough.

And it is densely decorated with thunder patterns, which is a relief attached to the outline of the line with a sense of roundness, which is completely different from the straight and sharp style of the bronze decoration in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"But the shape of this bronze mask is very unique, not like an ancient artifact from the Central Plains, but as for the age, I can't deduce it for a while." Zhao Yan looked at it very carefully.

"What's the matter?" Ye Jiuqing was a little interested in looking at Guo Blind. "For the sake of an era of masks, you did not hesitate to send me a black glazed plum vase."

"Brother Ye said with a smile, a few days ago, I had a guest there, and he was very generous, so he took out this bronze mask and asked me about the origin." Guo Blind replied with a smile. "It is said that as long as the news is inquired, the remuneration is not a problem."

"You've always been shrewd, you didn't calculate this account correctly." Ye Jiuqing smiled faintly and pointed to the black-glazed plum bottle on the table. "This is a Dingyao thing, you just put it in my pawnshop, I have to give you six figures, you just give it to me, just for the origin of a mask, really let you find out, a piece of news can make you earn a six-figure honorarity?"

Guo Blind smiled but did not speak, and the essence of a philistine was clearly revealed.

"Yo, Uncle Guo has encountered a big deal, and the six-digit object is used to throw stones and ask for directions, without blinking his eyes, this guest is afraid that he promised you something." I asked with a smile.

"The guest said that this bronze mask is related to a treasure, if you find it, I will share it." Guo Blind smiled slippery.

"Then if you don't find out, won't you lose a black-glazed plum vase for nothing?" Tian Ji asked.

"Of course, you can't buy and sell at a loss." Guo Blind smiled meaningfully. "The honorarium given to me by the guest is almost the money of this plum bottle, anyway, I don't lose money, I can't inquire, so I should borrow flowers to offer Buddha to Brother Ye as a birthday gift."

"You really know everything in your head......"

Click!

Feng Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, he just took the bronze mask in Zhao Yan's hand, he didn't expect the mask to be movable, and it was closed together in Feng Cheng's hand, Feng Cheng looked down at the bronze mask, and his face immediately changed: "What is the origin of the person looking for you?" ”

"It's also a walk with us, and those who do antique business are just people from Taiwan who come back to visit relatives."

Zhao Yan, who was standing next to him, looked at Feng Cheng's hand, and his expression was immediately solemn, looking at their reactions, I knew that there was something wrong with this bronze face, and the two looked at Ye Jiuqing at the same time, they were all people who had been together through thick and thin for decades, and the tacit understanding between them was self-evident.

"You take the plum bottle away, leave the mask here, give me a few days, and I'll help you inquire." Ye Jiuqing picked up the tea and said lightly.

Guo Blind hurriedly got up and thanked him, if Ye Jiuqing didn't know anything in this industry, it was estimated that no one would be able to know, not to mention that Ye Jiuqing had always been true to his word, as long as he promised something, he would definitely spare no effort to do it.

After Guo Blind left, Ye Jiuqing hurriedly asked Feng Cheng what was wrong, Feng Cheng sent the closed bronze mask to the table in front of Ye Jiuqing, I was stunned when I looked at it, and was shocked to find that the bronze mask became another pattern after it was closed.

I quickly took out the paper that the woman had given me, and when I folded it, the pattern that appeared was exactly the same as the one on the mask.

Three-eyed unicorn!

"This thing was given to you by the woman who asked the gold lord?" Ye Jiuqing frowned and asked sternly.

I nodded, and the palace lord and Tian Ji came up and were surprised, why did the pattern on the paper in my hand appear on the bronze mask.

"What's this pattern?" I looked up at Ye Jiuqing, and from their expressions, it was obvious that I knew the origin of the pattern on this bronze mask.

"Does that really exist?!" Ye Jiuqing looked at them in surprise.

"What the hell is going on? What the hell is this three-eyed unicorn? Tian Ji asked anxiously.

"This pattern is not called a three-eyed unicorn." Zhao Yan said behind him.

"What's that called?" The palace lord turned his head and asked.

"Into the Eyes of the Earth!" Ye Jiuqing said three words loudly.

I frowned together, puzzled for a long time, I am no stranger to the eyes of the earth, the first time I saw this book was in my father's collection, this is a Northern Song Dynasty funeral book, written for hundreds of years, the secret has been a long time, the Kanyu family regarded as a treasure of the Yin House Feng Shui book, whether it is a pawn or an emperor general, as long as you are buried according to Feng Shui, you can find the location of the mausoleum by reading this book.

"This ...... Is this the eye into the ground? I opened my mouth blankly and turned to look at Feng Cheng. But the eye of the earth is obviously a book.,Didn't you force me to learn it when I was a child.,How can it be a three-eye pattern.。 ”

Feng Cheng looked at me without saying a word, his expression was very serious, and it took a long time to hear his low voice.

"When did I tell you that the Eye of the Earth is a book?"
