I turned on the tape recorder and music began to play on the loudspeakers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the horn is worn, no matter how beautiful the music comes out of the speaker, the sound will become unpleasant.

But the two of us didn't care, anyway, they just sang better than us, and the fat man, after my long explanation and education, was in a much better mood, and began to sell at the top of his voice.

The passers-by and the people who set up the stalls around us all cast strange eyes at us, as if it was strange, there was a man next to us, he came over and greeted us, and he had a pair of round black sunglasses on his ears, just like the kind brought by the blind fortune teller who set up a stall at the entrance of the temple, he took out a cigarette and gave one to each of us.

I took the cigarette and looked at it, the grade is not low, American smoke, Marlboro.

While lighting cigarettes for us, he said in a strong Hong Kong and Taiwan accent: "Two bosses, you are the first to sell tapes on this old clothes street." ”

I took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a wisp of white smoke, looked up and said to him in a non-trivial Hong Kong and Taiwan accent: "We are pushing a broken three wheels, wherever we go, you don't have to think too much, let's take a break and leave." ”

As a result, the two sides chatted for a while, and the love was not far from us, his name was Zhao Si, his hometown Hunan, and he had been in Shaanxi before. His father joined the Red Army in his twenties with the revolution, and he was an old revolutionary. It's fateful. The roots of the family are also Siye's, but later, because the head of Siye was taken off, their veteran soldiers also suffered more or less.

Backwards, before the liberation of his father also served as a Taoist priest for a few years, a pair of two compartments, and my grandfather was a Taoist priest in the same place, Zhao Si is no more than two years older than me, in his words, his father is an old man, almost fifty years old before he was born, I have to call him uncle in terms of generation. However, when the old Taoist priest was preaching and teaching, each apprentice learned different things, the father of the poison-eyed dragon learned the skill of appreciating antiquities, and before joining the army, he was specially grateful for the deeds of holding the treasure, and the family had a lot of treasures, and they were targeted, and finally they were targeted by the toast in Enshi, and the treasures were also snatched away. The original intention of joining the army was to take revenge, and after a long time in the army, he forgot about it, and after liberation, he was caught by the seedlings and died in the cowshed. After the reform and opening up, the poison-eyed dragon took his father's craftsmanship to the south and started to resell antiques.

The nickname of the poison-eyed dragon is that his eyes are poisonous, as long as anything passes his eyes, the age and use, and the value can be clearly known, and the score is exactly the same. It's better to be able to speak than to listen, the most this is to hear, if he really has that ability, will he still need those archaeologists?

Going deeper, the father of the poison-eyed dragon followed a few people to do the inverted fight after coming down the mountain. I asked him, "Did your father ever encounter a salted fish?" (Salted fish refers to the unrotting corpses encountered during tomb robbing.) From ancient times to the present, people often salted the fish in order to eat it for a long time to ensure that it does not spoil. Tomb robbers call this undecomposed corpse a salted fish because both things are indecomposable. ）

When the poison-eyed dragon heard this, although he couldn't see his eyes, he obviously felt that his expression was stunned, and he had to take me and the fat man to have afternoon tea and talk in detail by the way. So the three of them packed their things and went to the bright road.

A teahouse on Guangming Road was full of diners, many people had finished eating everything on the table, and they were slowly tasting a cup of herbal tea with a cup of herbal tea in their hands, and the sound of conversation was endless.

We found an empty table in the corner and sat down, the afternoon in Guangdong was first popular from Hong Kong, and Hong Kong was influenced by the British, saying that it was drinking tea, but in fact it was eating. The Poison-Eyed Dragon asked us if we were drinking, and we both nodded without much thought, saying that it was too hot to drink some ice, and served two beers first.

As a result, we were both dumbfounded as soon as we drank it, and the two of us couldn't drink him in turn, thinking that this guy was not well-intentioned, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, this beer is too strong, my stomach is too small, I can't hold it anymore, let's drink tea." ”

While eating and chatting, we unconsciously talked about the inverted fight, and the poison-eyed dragon took off his glasses, looked at us and said, "How do you think my name for the poison-eyed dragon came from?" I've been mixing in this old clothes street for some years, a few years ago a young man came to the north to find a buyer with two antiquities in his hand, but the thing was too biased and no one dared to accept it, I took that thing, guess what? Two days later, a Hong Kong merchant came and bought this thing for ten times the price."

I asked him what it was, and we almost didn't squirt out, the white silk that Emperor Chongzhen hanged in the Ming Dynasty.

This person is really enough, the white silk hanged by the king of the dead country is also accepted, and the Hong Kong businessman is really, since he still took it away at a high price, don't you plan to hang this white silk in the future, and there is a show off when you go to the underworld?

We chatted casually about some old things, looked at the doorways of feng shui and the like, and talked about our deeds in the primeval forests of Yunnan back then.

Although the father of the poison-eyed dragon and my grandfather came out of the same class, but the two learned things are very different, the old Taoist priest taught each apprentice something different, my grandfather learned a secret text of the ancient seal of the sect, practiced a body of martial arts, the father of the poison-eyed dragon learned the secret art of feng shui and the art of phase objects, the result of the feng shui secret art did not learn, but developed a strong interest in the appreciation of antiquities, according to the aptitude of teaching this practice, in China has long been there, the old Taoist priest specially taught him the art of the identification and appreciation of antiquities.

The art of physiognomy is not only for things, but also for people, there will always be old blind people at the door of the temple who look at fortune-telling, in fact, they are also a kind of physiognomy, right people, his father is only interested in things, and it has to be antiquities, so this craft is passed to the hands of the poison-eyed dragon There are only five or six out of ten, and these are enough for him to mix up some fame in the antique circle. You can imagine what kind of master my grandfather's master must have been.

The poison-eyed dragon listened to me and admired me even more: "Brother, I have served you, as the old saying goes, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, you have been a soldier like you, you know the art of Tianxing Feng Shui, and the most important thing is that you still have the ancient seal of Qimen that my father has always admired, if you don't go to the upside down, it's a pity to turn over the meat dumplings." ”

I shook my head when I heard this: "I don't dare to do this, my grandfather said back then, the things in this book will definitely be of great use in the future, but they must not be used for such immoral deeds as touching gold and turning upside down." When my grandfather went down the mountain, he took a few junior disciples to learn some skills, and followed others to the inverted bucket, but he was put in and never came out again, and the most terrible thing in this tomb is not the meat dumplings, but those hidden weapons made of secret arts. ”

The poison-eyed dragon said that there must be a risk, and most people are afraid of meat dumplings, since we are not afraid, there is nothing to worry about, after all, the hidden weapons of those tombs in the ancient seals will also be recorded to some extent. Besides, although the reputation of the inverted fight is not good, most of them are corrupted by some indiscriminate thieves, and they mess around destructively, can they not attract hatred? They ruined a lot of things.

The industry has a history of more than 2,000 years, from Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, Wen Tao in the Five Dynasties period, to the great warlord Sun Dianying in the Republic of China, etc., are very famous official thieves, they often use a large number of soldiers, open fire to do a lot of work, this kind of people are very destructive to the tomb.

There is also a kind of people and thieves, scattered all over the place, all of them are carried out secretly, digging graves, opening coffins, taking out the treasures and treasures of the burial, and making a windfall. One of them evolved from official thieves, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set up a special army to dig ancient tombs to steal finances, Faqiu generals, touch gold captains, move mountain people, and unload Ling Lushi.

However, in the later dynasties, the government and court of various dynasties were afraid that the tomb would be stolen after their death, and the intensity of suppressing the tomb robbers was stronger than a year.

The poison-eyed dragon sighed, and said to us: "In the past, this line of inverted buckets may have been a lack of morality, but now if there is no such person, many things will not see the light of day, Jiangmen is currently the largest market for buying and selling old gadgets today, if you have something, I can help you identify, estimate, if you want to sell, I can also help you contact buyers, you can negotiate the price yourself, give me some mention of the line." ”

The fat man had been busy eating and drinking, and at this time the things on the table had been swept by him for seven or eight minutes, and after listening to the words of the poison-eyed dragon, he took the strange egg out of my pocket and handed it to the poison-eyed dragon, and then he showed him what it was, and how much it was worth.

The poison-eyed dragon looked at it, put on his dark black sunglasses again, so that people couldn't see his eyes, and then put it on the side of his nose and sniffed: "This is a good thing, it must be at least a few hundred years old, what is it, I believe Brother Zou should have heard of it, huh....... This thing should be something from the Ming Dynasty. The above black and white pictures actually prove the identity of this thing, the ancient legend is that there is a bird named Phoenix, in fact, these are two birds female for the phoenix and male for the phoenix. It won't take 500 years for a pair to be born, so there should be one more egg. How did you get this egg? ”

If we talk about our heroic deeds, both of them are interested, and the fat man was about to brag about Haikan when I stopped him: "I am not satisfied with you saying that this thing was picked up by us, and the reason for the matter is a long story, so let's put it this way, when the two of us were soldiers in Yunnan, a mission, mistakenly broke into a trapped Longtan that I don't know who arranged, this thing is not willing to be from the sleepy Longtan, and the two of us picked it up, and it saved my life." ”

The whole thing, in the afternoon tea process when we drank until more than 11 o'clock in the evening, I also told him in detail, when parting, the poison-eyed dragon gave the two of us a thing, jet black, with the length of a little finger, it was densely packed and untidy to the touch, it was too dark and we didn't see it too clearly, but it looked old, like an antiquity, with a hole at one end with red silk thread, which could be hung on the neck as an ornament.

The poison-eyed dragon said: "Our buddies are familiar at first sight, plus the grievances of the older generation are also considered world friends, these two small objects made of extraterrestrial dark iron, they are full of some words, I can't understand it, so I'll leave it to you two to make a thought, let's have a date later." ”
