Chapter Thirty-Eight: Old Port Farmers

"The thing you brought with you doesn't have a name, and we don't know where it came from, which means it doesn't have an official name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but whether it is official or folk antique shop, there is an unwritten rule, the name must conform to the characteristics of this thing, for example, the treasure of the Shang Dynasty found in Hunan in 38 years, Siyang Fangzun, in the Shang Dynasty this thing is definitely not called this name, but what is the specific name and there is no written record, and the age is too long ago to be verified, so it took a name according to the characteristics of this thing, Zun is a wine container in ancient times, and Siyang is its foreign trade characteristics. ”

"The name of this white jade dragon core pillow has already expressed his characteristics and uses. White jade is the material for the production of this thing, I don't know if you have seen it carefully, this white jade pillow is engraved with two dragons, the dragon symbolizes nothing in the ancient mind, I don't need to say more, you all know, the important thing is that there is no trace of anything on the surface, it is like growing inside, natural, this kind of production process is the first time I have seen, as for what means I use, I still don't know, the position of this dragon is exactly in the pillow core, so I call a white jade dragon core, When you found it, you put it in a coffin as a pillow, and naturally it has such a name. ”

I said, "Brother Zhang, as far as I know, dragon accessories were only owned by emperors in ancient times, and this thing we found in Yunnan, has there ever been any emperor in that place?" ”

The poison-eyed dragon took a sip of tea: "I also have you carefully read it, these two dragons are engraved in the pillow core, there is a paragraph on the side of the pillow, which is engraved on the surface, and there are two words on it I have never heard of the name 'Miao Qiang', if this is a personal name, it must be the owner of this white jade dragon core pillow." ”

Miao Qiang sounds so familiar with the two words, I didn't remember where I heard it after thinking about it for a long time, the fat man patted his thigh and pointed at me for a long time: "Oh oh oh, I remembered, it was when we were soldiers, oops, why is your memory so bad, this egg, do you remember?" When you came back, you bragged to me that you went to lie on the ancient altar, and that there was a place where you could respond, and I asked why you didn't pray to God to send you a little daughter-in-law, and you also said that the place was called the Seven Stars Altar. ”

When it comes to the Altar of the Seven Stars, I will never forget it in my life, that kind of inhumane mermaid paste, everlasting lamp. It's just a nightmare, when more than a dozen of us went into the mountains to perform a mission, when we came back, there were only five people, it was in that place that I got this bronze ancient sword, and I saw some ancient stories on the mural, when the old man Song mentioned that the last payment of the mural was Miao Qiang, the king of Dian.

The poison-eyed dragon nodded: "That's it, the original size of the Dian Kingdom is also a country, but it was later attached to the Han Dynasty, if this thing is not rewarded by the emperor, or he himself wants to fulfill the emperor's dream after death, plus the remoteness of the tomb, it is impossible for anyone to find out, although it is risky, but there are not a few such people in ancient times." I think that Yuan Shikai only served as the emperor of the yang world for eighty-three days, and after his death, in order to continue to dream of the emperor in the underworld, he found people to look for a gloomy wood coffin, which is also a typical representative of the emperor's dream. Not to mention the kings of such small vassal states two thousand years ago. ”

I feel like I'm listening to a book from heaven, the more I listen to it, the more mysterious it becomes, even the underworld and the yang world come out, but the important meaning can still be understood, since the fat man knows the value of this thing, he put it on a table of dishes, what rice rolls, salt and pepper shrimp, siu mai stuffed into his mouth one by one, and from time to time he also came to take a sip of beer, and the things without salt in the forest were eaten quickly, and he could eat a normal meal today, and he hated that his parents had one less mouth and couldn't keep up with the speed of picking vegetables.

I asked the Poison-Eyed Dragon what was the most valuable thing in the antique shop and could be bought for a large price.

Poison-eyed dragon said: "The less things in the antique industry, the more valuable they are, regardless of whether they are foreigners or our countrymen, things are scarce and expensive, such as porcelain, the most valuable ones are firewood, Ru, official, brother, Jun, Ding, etc. 29 kilns, each kiln has the characteristics of each kiln, take the firewood kiln as an example, blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like chime, moisturizing and delicate with fine lines. The most famous porcelain of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, even if it is only the size of a fingernail, is worth a thousand gold, mainly because there is basically no complete firewood kiln porcelain. Besides, the white jade dragon core pillow that you two brought back, although this thing is rare, but there is no serious provenance, if this thing comes from the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the value is different, because it is unique, and it is a famous family, only this one can be a million or less. ”

I said yes again and again, and said to the poison-eyed dragon: "This is what you said, next time if you have the opportunity to take the two of us to have a long experience and open our eyes." I now have an idea, next time we are going to go out to a big fight, one time to earn enough, our industry should be in the deep mountains and old forests all day long, the day of the day will be folded in which ravine, the risk is too great, nine lives are not enough for us to toss, during this time I at home to study the book left by my grandfather, to find a top treasure cave tomb, but this matter still has to do some preparations, in order to be perfect. ”

The poison-eyed dragon asked, "Brother Zou, do you really want to go back and forth?" Do you have any goals? ”

I said: "Not for the time being, I just had such an idea, if I want to find a feng shui treasure land, it would be easy to find, but to find this kind of feng shui treasure cave also have to have a general direction, I don't know anything about these archaeological history and other things, even a general direction is difficult to find, we are purely lucky this time, the people in Yunnan only think that this place is haunted, we are also bare-ass wolf - bold and not ashamed, blindly bumped into, more or less can only be regarded as a pre-actual exercise, increase experience." ”

The poison-eyed dragon said: "What you said reminds me of an incident, there is a Hong Kong businessman..."

It turned out that the poison-eyed dragon happened to know a Hong Kong businessman, this old Hong Kong farmer is very rich, it is said that there are assets in Hong Kong, Britain, and the United States, and there have been several transactions between them. Recently, there have been some moths in this old port, and this is the case.

In the first ten years, many cultural activities have been forced to interrupt, such as the college entrance examination, archaeology, after the reform and opening up, these things have resumed, the number of college entrance examinations is more and more year by year, the development of archaeology is also thriving year by year, in recent years has reached a peak, a large number of ancient tombs, monuments have been excavated.

The trading of the antique market is also extremely hot, Guangdong is low on the coast, and it is the forefront of reform and opening up, the tomb robbers in Shaanxi, Henan, Hunan and other places dug up antiques and did not dare to sell them in the north, and brought them to Guangdong to sell in this mixed place.

Since the discovery of the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan in Xinjiang, the desert of Xinjiang has become a place that tomb robbers and archaeologists will never forget. The Silk Road, the 36 countries of the Western Regions along the Peacock River, all have buried secrets and treasures under this long yellow sand.

Countless archaeological teams, tomb robbers, and expeditions of different natures rushed into the Taklamakan Desert. The protection of ancient tombs in Xinjiang is also imminent, and the government is also increasing manpower and financial resources year by year to carry out protective discoveries in the Taklamakan Desert, but it is still impossible to stop the ubiquitous tomb robbers.

The old Hong Kong farmer said that the poison-eyed dragon is from Hunan, and the family has been scholarly for generations, and after three or seven years, the family immigrated to the United Kingdom, and after the reform and opening up, he will come to contribute money and efforts to build his hometown, in his own words, in the British Museum, he saw so many Chinese national treasures that were snatched away and put on display there, and we had to pay money to see them, and my heart was like dripping blood, and there was a steady stream of national treasures in the country that were resold abroad by tomb robbers, and I was worried day and night, and it was difficult to sleep. Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics Protection wanted to organize a desert archaeological team to carry out rescue excavations of some ancient tombs in Xinjiang. Money is not a problem for the old port farmers, due to the reason of the **** ten years, there are fewer and fewer people in China who know Tianxing Feng Shui, for desert archaeology, if you don't understand Tianxing Feng Shui, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's not easy to find this kind of person, there are fake blind people like the poison-eyed dragon in front of the temples everywhere, most of them are just deceiving the world and stealing fame, and they know a little bit about palmistry and face reading.

The poison-eyed dragon asked me if I wanted to go, because the old port farmer had not found anyone, the bid was raised again and again, and now the price is surprisingly high, and this trip to the desert, there are any requirements, equipment and materials are provided by the old port farmer, such a good condition should be a little bit of knowledge, and lay a solid foundation for going it alone in the future.

The fat man said, "It's a good chance, hey. Lao Zou, isn't it because of lack of preparation that we almost folded there, this time someone contributed money, it was simply a good thing that pie fell from the sky. ”

I said: "Chubby is right, this kind of hard-working work is of course the more complete the preparation the better, and it is indeed a rare opportunity to practice, you said that the Hong Kong businessman is so rich must have organized a group of masters, and then we can learn more from them, I have never been to the desert, and the desert survival experience is not to mention, I also understand the feng shui of the stars, as long as I can see the stars, I can guarantee that I will not get lost in the desert, and I can also take them to find the place they want to go." I have the impression that a Hong Kong businessman should be a capitalist, and he can't afford to be unprofitable, not to mention that he is still an old Hong Kong farmer who grew up in the British and American empires, and he is simply a capitalist with deep roots, how could he think of protecting national cultural relics? ”
