Chapter 69: Quirky Tyrants
Originally, I was a little worried that this porcelain bowl was not easy to sell, although Lei Zi and I didn't know about the antique industry, but we also understood some basics.
Because this porcelain bowl was poured out of the ancient tomb by Lei Zi after all, whether people are collecting antiques or collections, they pay attention to a "clean", clean source, clean things.
This source is clean, that is to say, the antiques were not illegally stolen by tomb robbers, and now it is not the past, this tomb robbery is a big crime that can be shot.
And things are clean, let's put it this way, I believe many people have also heard of it, because some people love to collect antiques and antiques, and many strange and inexplicable things have happened.
When I was a child, I once heard my grandfather tell me a story about the antiques in the tomb, because it impressed me so deeply that I still remember it clearly.
Grandpa told me that during the Republic of China, there was a large landowner surnamed Feng, the family was very rich, and he had a son named Feng Yongkang, who did not know when he suddenly suffered from a quirk, and especially liked to collect things on unmarried women in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
From necklaces and earrings to the intimate silk and shrouds worn at the time of burial, as long as the cloth is not rotten, he wants it, no matter how much money the seller opens, as long as the goods are good, he will not even return the price.
To describe it in a current word, Feng Yongkang is a willful and perverted tyrant.
Because of this quirk, in the room of Na Feng Yongkang, there were countless pieces of half-rotten clothes and fabrics that had been pulled from the corpses, as well as countless jewelry and jewelry that accompanied the funeral.
It is also thanks to the great business of this Feng landlord's family that he can withstand Feng Yongkang's toss, and if he wants to replace himself with an ordinary small landlord, he has already lost his family business.
And since Nafeng Yongkang began to collect those antiques, he has been nesting in his room all day long, not leaving those clothes and jewelry, which is even more concerned than himself, and outsiders see it, and the whole thing is psychotic.
Although the landlord Feng knew that his son might have mental problems, he sought medical advice everywhere and saw many doctors, but he couldn't cure his son's illness.
After so many years, the landlord has no hope, he can only let his son go, he is such a son, as long as he lives well, does not steal or rob, marries a daughter-in-law in the future, lives a stable life, and then gives birth to a big fat grandson for a lifetime, there will be no regrets.
After all, in those days, it was not a crime to collect those antique clothes and cultural relics privately.
But it's bad here, this Feng Yongkang since he was obsessed with collecting clothes and jewelry in those ancient tombs, the whole person has changed, becoming more and more introverted, and talking less and less, all day long is to look at those clothes and jewelry non-stop, sometimes Feng landlord gets up at night to urinate, passes by his son's room, and finds that the lights are on in his room, talking to himself in front of those antiques......
It's scary.
These are not counted, the most important thing is that whenever the landlord of Nafeng told his son about marrying a daughter-in-law, Feng Yongkang's face sank, and he said that he would not marry anything.
The more you talk about him, the more angry he becomes, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
Do you think it's weird? At that time, but it was not now, there were not so many friends, and it was strange that this man didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law.
Seeing his son like this, the landlord sighed secretly, he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep well, and he said in his heart that he had relied on his ability to make money all his life, and he had never done anything lacking in virtue, so why did he give birth to such a son?
Could it be that he did evil in his previous life? Thinking about it left and right, the landlord felt that his son's collection of those things was definitely not a hobby, and there must be something strange about it!
So the next day, the landlord Feng went to a nearby Taoist temple and invited a Taoist priest who specializes in catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, and asked him to come to his home to see what his son was like.
The Taoist priest must be about fifty years old, and he has been cultivating in the Taoist temple for decades, and he can be regarded as having some ability, and when he followed the landlord Feng into the door, his face immediately became gloomy!
Seeing this, the landlord hurriedly asked the old Taoist priest what he saw.
The old Taoist priest didn't say much nonsense, and directly stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the rooms and said:
"If you want your son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, burn that house right now!"
The landlord looked up and saw that the room that the old Taoist priest was pointing to was his son's room, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed, so he said to the old Taoist priest:
"Dao Chief, it's not that I don't listen to you, it's mainly that my son takes the things in his house too seriously, if I burn all his lives at once, and when he comes back, he won't have to play with my father?"
But the old Taoist shook his head and said:
"You can go and burn it with confidence, the bigger the fire, the better, I promise that your son will not look for you when he comes back, and he will not even ask."
When the old Taoist said this, he was confident, and the landlord of Nafeng was also out of the way, anyway, the dead horse was a live horse doctor, so try it!
Immediately called someone to set a fire, and directly burned the house to ruins.
When the old Taoist priest saw that the fire had stopped, he said to the landlord Feng:
"Starting tomorrow, your son's house will be converted into an ancestral hall, and three hundred spirit tablets will be placed in it, and no name will be written, and they will be offered in it, and they will go to make incense, light candles, and burn paper to worship on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month."
The landlord could only nod his head in agreement.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the fire stopped, Feng Yongkang came back from outside, and when the landlord saw his son returning, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and if he saw that his house was burned, he might have to make such a fuss with himself.
But what made the landlord Feng strange, after his son came home, he looked at the room that was burned to black ashes, and asked the landlord Feng curiously:
"Dad, what's the fire in my house?" There was not a trace of anger or anger in his tone, except for surprise and curiosity.
The landlord was dumbfounded at that time, what happened to his son, why did he suddenly change his sex? I usually take the antique jewelry that is the root of my life and burn it for him, and I don't get angry at all, and I don't even ask.
At that moment, the landlord of Feng looked up at the old Taoist priest he invited several times.
After sending the old Taoist priest away, the landlord Feng did not hesitate, and spent money to hire craftsmen with good craftsmanship on the same day, and in less than ten days, he built a very imposing ancestral hall.
The landlord of Feng also according to the old Taoist priest, there are 300 spirit cards without names written in them, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, incense is burned on paper.
Since then, Na Feng Yongkang has never collected antique clothes, and he has also promised to marry a wife and have children, and those previous quirks have never been committed again.
In fact, this story, to put it bluntly, is not a ghost, but a problem with antique utensils.
This is just one of many examples in history.
There are even some antique jewelry that are very famous in history, and whoever falls on them will not go well, and a series of disasters will occur, which is definitely not alarmist.
Therefore, no one dared to accept the porcelain bowl that Lei Zi and I took out of the ancient tomb, and I estimate that it was mostly because the porcelain bowl was "not clean".
Looking at the "Maoshan Taoism" in my hand, I searched for a long time, and saw the catalog from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the end, but I didn't find any records about antiques at all.
It seems that this "Maoshan Taoist Technique" is not everything, put the book together, put it in the backpack, Lei Zi came up, and asked me with an expectant face:
"How is the third brother? Did you find out what's wrong? ”
I sighed and said to Leizi:
"I didn't find out, and there was no record or explanation related to antiques in my book."
After hearing this, Lei Zi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, sat aside, and said a little dejectedly:
"Third brother, no matter what, I thank you for accompanying me out and running around."
"What are you talking about? What do we say between the two of us, just give the money. "I made a joke on Reiko and tried to ease his feelings.
Just as Leizi and I were about to get up and go to have a bite to eat, a red Audi sedan drove towards me and Leizi.
We both looked at each other, and we didn't understand who was coming, and Lei Zi and I didn't know anyone who drove such a famous car.
Could it be that Lin Sen's people are looking for trouble? Thinking of this, I hurriedly whispered to Lei Zi:
"Leizi, get ready, see something is wrong, run quickly."
The red Audi stopped not far in front of us, the window was lowered, and a charming young woman's head came out of the window, looked at me and Leizi and shouted:
"Hey! Young man, you two get in the car. ”
As soon as I saw it, wasn't she the proprietress in the "Treasure Pavilion" antique shop just now, why did she come to me and Leizi again?
