Chapter 6: Pixiu Qiyu
Lu Yuanyan pushed his glasses and repeated, "I said, let you look at each other and catch ghosts." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In Dingyan Zhai, the incense was curling, but suddenly a little embarrassed, Zhou Mushu got up silently, walked to the door silently, and opened the door silently.
"Huh, you want to run?" Lu Yuanyan hurriedly blocked the door, holding the edge of the door with one hand, with a rogue on his face, "You won't be afraid, right?" ”
"That's right." Zhou Mushu turned his head to look at him, he didn't want to sell Guanzi, "I'm very scared, I can't wait to take a detour when I mention this thing all these years, and now you still let me go to relatives with them, and I don't have such a loss to be a person." ”
"I didn't let you go up to climb relatives, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll let you look like a good thing." Lu Yuanyan suddenly let go of his hand, went around to the back of the medicine cabinet and began to look down for something, the medicine cabinet was red and black, the style was old, and there were seven hundred and eighty-eight herbs piled on it.
Zhou Mushu only heard the sound of "ping pong" inside for a while, and a lot of ash erupted, but he never raised his head, and finally couldn't help but speak, "What good things?" ”
"A piece of jade." Lu Yuanyan said in a sullen voice, "I just moved here, and a lot of the previous things were messed up, hey, here." ”
Zhou Mushu stepped forward when he heard this, but saw Lu Yuanyan excitedly take out a Pixiu from the head of the cabinet, put it on the table like a baby, and patted the Pixiu's already mottled and rusted belly with a little ostentation, "What's the matter, it's beautiful." ”
"Didn't you say it was a piece of jade? How is Pixiu. Zhou Mushu was suspicious, but he couldn't help but go up and look at the Pixiu, he had seen the jade stone in many shops, as well as the portrait, but his cognition only stayed in this thing to attract wealth and treasure, but he never knew that there was a bronze one.
The jade carving looks warm and peaceful, but this bronze one has an inexplicable sense of solemnity and oppression, like a lion, with wings on its back, and the two corners are delicately patterned, long and narrow, hanging down at the back of the head like a flat square.
Lu Yuanyan was stunned when he saw it, and his complacent appearance came up again, and he ordered, "You touch the belly of the ninth prince." ”
Zhou Mushu touched his hand to his belly in response, but he suddenly retracted his hand as if he was burned, and his fingertips were numb and painful, although it was only for a short moment, Zhou Mushu broke out in a cold sweat, "What is it?!" ”
Lu Yuanyan snorted unexpectedly, patted the bronze vessel, lowered his head and stroked the two horns, as if he was stroking a baby, "One horn is Tianlu, and two horns are evil spirits, I didn't expect your ghost fate to be much more powerful than I guessed." ”
"Ghost?" Zhou Mushu's surprise was greater than the pain, because the cone that really hurt just now was piercing, like flesh and blood bursting, but when he looked back at his fingertips, the painful place was smooth and clean, and no trace had fallen, he shook his hand and smiled bitterly, "Boss Lu will not say what kind of Tiansha Lone Star life I am, what special skills such as Tianyan are next, and then let me go through the rivers and lakes, support justice, exorcise ghosts and demons, and finally become an immortal?" ”
Lu Yuanyan twitched his face on the counter, suddenly rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "How many legendary scripts have you read since you were a child?" The Heavenly Evil Lone Star is a ghost. ”
"Then you have a ghost on the left, a ghost on the right, and an evil spirit, and the old way of the bull's nose is rarely so godly and chattering." Zhou Mushu was not convinced.
"Am I like a bull-nosed veteran?" Lu Yuanyan frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Mushu's comparison with the old way of Niu Nose, hugged Pixiu and walked to the small table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Ghost fate, there are more or less people, you are just a little more than ordinary people, and there are not no people who are stronger than you, you can see those things, it is caused by this ghost fate." ”
"Then if the ghost sees someone, doesn't it mean that the popularity is good?" Zhou Mushu was amused by his thoughts, and sat back in his seat, "But this thing doesn't look like a jade no matter how you look at it." ”
Lu Yuanyan patted Pixiu's stomach, "Who said this is jade?" Jade in its belly, boy, do you know what this thing is? ”
"Pixiu."
"Pixiu, you ghost." Lu Yuanyan put Pixiu across in front of him, with an internal injury on his face, "What I asked is the age and function of the instrument!" ”
If you want to talk about antiques, it sounds like a plaything of the upper class, but in that year, the soldiers were in chaos, and the homeless people were everywhere, and often ordinary people could also get a piece of the pie, Zhou Mushu and his father Zhou Xiucai were very good at these vassal and elegant things, such books at home occupied a whole cabinet, even if he hadn't seen a few real things, but he could also tell a doorway.
Bronze flourished in the Qin and Han dynasties, the shape of the vessel is an obvious look, Zhou Mushu took it in his hand and weighed it twice, and then carefully looked at the pulp on Pixiu's body, the oil and water were smooth and bright, although it had been carefully maintained, but the green embroidery embedded in the pattern was still conspicuous, revealing a fishy smell of earth.
"Do you see what's coming?" Lu Yuanyan unhurriedly blew on the tea that had not been hot for a long time.
Zhou Mushu flattened his mouth and guessed uncertainly, "Han Dynasty? ”
Lu Yuanyan didn't say right or wrong, he just continued to compete with his tea bowl, "Also, think about the shape of the device." ”
Zhou Mushu hugged Pixiu, desperately thinking about the record of this thing, but the pot of ink didn't drink into his stomach, and finally lost, "Aren't they all the same, two horns to ward off evil spirits, and one horn is called Tianlu." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yuanyan slapped Zhou Mushu on the brain, but this was very light and not punitive, and sure enough, there was a voice of approval from Boss Lu's head, "Yes, yes, although the level of this ancient appreciation is a little worse, you remember everything I said, I like this." ”
Zhou Mushu didn't bother to flatter him, so he just said, "What's that?" ”
"You remember, no one knows what Pixiu looks like, this lion's head and tiger eyes were all set in the Tang Dynasty, and the Pixiu in the Han Dynasty looked much better than this." Lu Yuanyan said, "But you are not wrong about one thing, this object is indeed the material of the Western Han Dynasty, and it was later disassembled and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Why is it so troublesome?" Zhou Mushu is difficult to understand.
"Well... Some things are beautiful, they occupy a good piece of material, but there is no soul in them, and they must be given a soul by the master caster to make a difference. Lu Yuanyan touched Pixiu's open mouth with admiration, and tapped it lightly, "This thing is borrowed from the ancient shell to reshape the new life, so that it can be used to raise the piece of jade I told you." ”
Zhou Mushu only felt incredible, and he also learned to knock Pixiu's mouth with Lu Yuanyan, "What's the origin?" ”
"It's big, this thing is called a double treasure, the outside is a treasure, the inside is a treasure, don't think about the gold, silver and jade into the belly of Pixiu, and then raise it with the well water of the water dragon vein, it is much better than those wild mountain springs, no, it must be more beautiful than before." Lu Yuanyan raised his hand to uncover the pixiu, Zhou Mushu probed to look, unexpectedly, the inside of the bronze was much cleaner than the rust on the outer skin, the inner wall was dark blue, full of clear water, and a piece of jade was floating on the clear water.
Even if Zhou Mushu has never eaten pork and has seen a pig run, he doesn't understand Lu Yuanyan's words, but jade is quite common, and this piece in the water is wrapped in a layer of silver net like Lu Yuanyan's wrench, and it is green on it, which is beautiful, and you can know that it is worth a lot of money at a glance.
Lu Yuanyan fished out the jade with his bare hands, took out a cyan handkerchief to absorb the water, and held it up in the sun, "What do you see?" ”
Zhou Mushu didn't know what he was selling and kept staring, until the jade was moved to the sun, he was shocked to find that the countless silks of floating green inside did not seem to be fixed, but slowly swimming, the silver net was focused, and the white jade was flawless, like a few pale cyan swimming fish floating in a long river, and the tail cut through the clear lake from time to time, leaving a few green ripples.
No matter how much he reads, he didn't know that there was such a wonderful and ingenious thing in the world.
"It's beautiful." Zhou Mushu muttered.
"Pretty." Lu Yuanyan shook the piece of jade, and suddenly threw it at Zhou Mushu with his backhand, and he pinched his fingers leisurely, "Go find a stronger rope and put it on, this jade can make it easier for you to deal with those things." ”
The jade jumped twice on the sandalwood table, Zhou Mushu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled twice before he barely caught it, and trembled when he heard Lu Yuanyan's words, what "those things" are self-evident, if he accepts this gift, it is equivalent to agreeing to be his apprentice, and he just wanted to return the jade, but he saw Lu Yuanyan closing his eyes and pinching his fingers, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, and the door of Ding Yanzhai suddenly sounded, and immediately, two people rushed in from outside and knelt on the ground.
A man and a woman cried loudly, "Is there a doctor?" Doctor! Save my old man! ”
