Chapter 33: The Flooded Pond
The fat man was talking nonsense, and the poison-eyed dragon kept snickering on the side, which caused Emma to be confused, and she didn't understand what they were laughing at for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
An Changwei whispered a few words in her ear, and Emma's originally smiling face suddenly turned red and white, and she glared at us fiercely.
I wanted to let them entangle this topic and speculate wildly, it was estimated that it would be really endless, so I hurriedly diverted the topic: "You can't really be so coincidental, it's an accident to come here, right?" Come here and see what we can do to help. ”
After saying this, I regretted it, emma said: "The world is naturally not such a coincidence, I went to Wuhan to look for you, Zou Yanchang said that you came to Guangzhou, I just flew to Guangzhou to find you." ”
Originally, the two of them should have taken the same flight, but unfortunately there was only one ticket, out of their so-called gentlemanly demeanor, An Changwei chose to take the train, and the two made an appointment to meet in Guangzhou, so they did not go directly to Jiangmen.
An Changwei had heard emma mention me beforehand, and I met him on the train, but after all, emma was not there, and he was not sure that the person emma was talking about was me, so he told a story on the train to attract my attention. Later, after listening to some of my opinions on the matter of feng shui tombs, I had some affirmation in my heart.
When they saw me again, they were not as surprised as I was. From their tones, it seemed that An Changwei was looking for me.
The poison-eyed dragon also heard what they said, but in this place where fish and dragons were mixed in Yiyi Street, it was not a place to speak, so he stepped forward and said, "Everyone, my stomach has begun to rebel, so let's find a place to eat and catch up." ”
As soon as the fat man heard that he wanted to eat, he immediately came to his senses: "What Brother Si said is that people are iron and rice is steel." ”
Because there is something to talk about, the poison-eyed dragon found a relatively secluded Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, asked for a small private room, this time is far from the meal, Cantonese people like to soak in this kind of tea restaurant, a morning tea can be eaten in the morning, an afternoon tea can naturally be eaten in the afternoon. The one we came to was already the most secluded, and the hall was full of people.
Everyone sat down in the box and ordered some food. Emma began to tell me why she had come to me.
An Changwei is a bad man who buys and resells antique toys everywhere, and he has traveled through many places over the years, and has encountered a lot of strange things.
The story of the secret burial on the train was just one of them, and it was there that he encountered the most incredible thing in his life.
There is a small mountain village in the mountainous area of western Hubei Province, called Manshui Pond, the place name comes from a deep pool, the water of the pond is very deep, and no one has ever touched the bottom.
Last winter, there was heavy snow everywhere, and An Changwei said that there was a family here with some ghost weapons in his hand that wanted to be shot, and asked him if he was interested in collecting them.
An Changwei has been in this industry for decades, and naturally knows that this kind of remote mountainous area can produce treasures, not to mention that this place has always been ruled by Tusi in ancient times, and it is not surprising that there are treasures in places beyond the reach of centralized power.
When he got here, he saw the treasure that the man said, so he naturally wanted to take a good look at it, and he took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see a clue, but his intuition told him that this thing was extraordinary, so he took it back.
Emma paused, then turned to An Changwei and said, "Mr. An, you should say the following things yourself." ”
An Changwei nodded and took over the conversation: "Originally, the deal was negotiated, and I should have left, but I felt curious in my heart, so I casually asked where this thing came from." ”
Before buying and selling, the seller will often associate him with his ancestors, or simply leave it all away, saying that he is taken back from someone else, of course, it must also be based on his actual situation. Since the way is explained in the transaction, it is taboo to ask again.
The honest farmer who sold things to An Changwei originally told An Changwei that this thing was left by his ancestors, and if it weren't for his son's eagerness to wait for money to get married, he would be reluctant to sell it.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, I got another sum of money, and I was secretly happy in my heart, who would have thought that An Changwei asked such a sentence coldly. This person only thought that he had committed a taboo, and he was scared into a cold sweat at that time, where could such a performance escape An Changwei's eyes, and he immediately felt that there was something greasy in it.
casually asked a few more words, where had the fellow seen this posture, and he recruited it at that time.
There is a pond not far away, on the opposite side of the pond is a mountain, there were air-raid shelters built during the Anti-Japanese War, a total of nine, one of which is not known for some reason, it has been connected to the depths of the leyline, and no one has ever entered it. Everywhere it is said that there are Tujia treasures left in it.
If this fellow hadn't had his son getting married when he was old, the family would really not have been able to get the bride price money, and he wouldn't have made this bottomless empty idea.
The thing was taken out of the bomb shelter, but according to him, it didn't go very deep, at most only four or five hundred meters, because a person, who was timid, was full of black rumblings, and he didn't dare to take more, so he picked up a piece of it and came out.
The fat man was eating the things on the table, and before he swallowed it, he muttered: "What's so strange about this, in my opinion, it's a fellow adventure in the mountains, so you didn't go to see it?" ”
I didn't say anything with the poison-eyed dragon, and looked at An Changwei questioningly, An Changwei smiled: "Brother said that I laughed, I saw that I went to see it, but I didn't dare to go in, I have poured a lot of antique weapons, and I have not sold a lot of ghost weapons, I am in my fifties, I have a few catties and a few taels, and I still have a number in my heart." ”
An Changwei took out the thing he received in the hands of the fellow and handed it to my eyes, this thing was exquisitely preserved, with several layers of cloth inside, it was a disc-shaped object, I took it in my hand and looked at it for a while, and I didn't see anything valuable, so I handed it to the poison-eyed dragon.
The poison-eyed dragon took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, then sniffed it with its nose, and then put it under the light to take care of it. Although the poison-eyed dragon is the same as me, but I don't know anything about it, the person who is a child needs to nourish the nose and taste, and the sense of smell and taste is an important means for them to distinguish antiques.
The poison-eyed dragon learned art earlier than his father, although he couldn't ban smoking and drinking, but he had a good start from an early start, and he used secret recipes to recuperate, and smoking and drinking didn't bring him much hindrance.
After looking at it for a long time, the poison-eyed dragon pouted: "If I don't look away, this should be a sacrificial vessel, and it is estimated that it is also a spring and autumn thing." ”
An Changwei listened to the analysis of the poison-eyed dragon, his eyes lit up, and his jaw almost fell on the table. Picking up the thumb brother, he praised repeatedly: "Brother Zhao is really good eyesight, I have consulted a few masters on this plate, but no one has such a skill as you, you can understand it in a few minutes." ”
I asked him again, "Since Mr. An already knows where this thing came from, what is the matter with coming to us?" ”
Emma interjected: "It's not that Mr. An is coming to you, but I asked him to come, Brother Si, take a closer look at what the pattern on this plate looks like." ”
The poison-eyed dragon took the plate and said casually: "Isn't the pattern just a phoenix?" It's no surprise that something from the past was either a phoenix or a golden dragon. ”
Emma explained: "When Mr. An came to me with this item, my team fought for several days and nights and came up with the same result as Brother Si, and I didn't think anything was wrong at first, but Mr. An told me a local legend. ”
Most of the so-called legends are related to the grotesque gods and goddesses, and the same is true of the local legends of Manshui Pond.
There have been monsters to haunt them, causing a great drought for many years, and the villagers within a radius of ten miles are miserable, and they are trying all kinds of ways to please the monsters, what to pay tribute to boys and girls, build temples and worship, anyway, I have thought of all the ways I can think of, this monster seems to not eat this set at all, and I have never seen a drop of water.
The villagers had no water for days and couldn't stand it anymore, so they searched for the master and invited the master to come and subdue the demon.
This master practiced in a small village behind the pond, and the sky was blue and white, but suddenly the wind was fierce, and the monster seemed to be angered by the master, and lightning and thunder roared in the sky.
The master held two magic weapons in his hand, held them high above his head, and said something in his mouth, and almost at the same time, the master's hands were together, and a lightning bolt in the dark clouds in the sky also thundered at him.
The original windy sky, suddenly there is a five-colored glow to compete with it, with the master as the center, a huge peony flower suddenly blooms, and a phoenix in the sky is draped in five-color glow, and the monsters in the sky are pushed to the bottom of the pond little by little, and the monsters are suppressed with the cold to the bone, and the bottomless pool water is suppressed.
This is the later manshui pond, the water is pitch black and bottomless.
The fat man asked suspiciously: "I seem to have heard your story somewhere, it doesn't seem to be the place you said." ”
The poison-eyed dragon smiled: "The fat man has a good memory, we heard this story when we were in Baishan County, but only the first half, the peony leads the phoenix." But there is no story of fighting monsters. ”
After this reminder of the poison-eyed dragon, I also remembered the picture and text carved on the box I saw in the ancient tomb at that time: "Brother Si, do you remember the box we saw in Baishan?" A person is now on a disc, and there are also those two magic weapons in his hand, can it be said that this disc is in..."
I didn't say any more in the second half of the sentence, An Changwei is an outsider, and our good deeds of fighting and touching gold are not for outsiders. Emma naturally knows everything about what we are doing in Baishan, so I don't need to say it clearly.
The Poison-Eyed Dragon stroked his chin and pondered what I said. (To be continued.) )
