Chapter 62: The Gilded Mask

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Hu Bayi sighed with emotion: "It's still the old branch secretary who has a high consciousness, so he will hand it over to the state immediately." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When the big gold tooth saw the newspaper, he guessed that they would not return empty-handed, and asked itchily, "Did the three of you bring back any good things this time?" ”

The fat man grinned, his face was colorful, and he couldn't wait to take out the things: "Bring back two pieces of jade, a mask, Jin Ye, you can palm your eyes." ”

As soon as the big gold tooth saw the dark golden mask, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, so he quickly took it over, and his mouth made a smacking sound.

"Master Jin, you are talking. Seeing that the big gold tooth was carefully held in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and he didn't speak for a long time, Wang Fatzi couldn't help urging.

"Good thing!" said the big gold tooth in amazement.

"Master Jin, do you also see that this is a good thing?" When Wang Fatzi heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Then tell me quickly, how much can these things be worth?"

"Don't worry, fat man. The big gold tooth smiled, then glanced at him and Hu Bayi, his face was straight, he first picked up the pair of jade, looked at it and said: "We are not outsiders, I won't go around the bend, this pair of jade, the quality is average, fortunately, it is a pair, and it is worth some money, a few of them are poured out of the tomb of the general of the Jin Dynasty, right?"

"In ancient times, this moth was a symbol of sacrifice of the warrior. The spirit of the ancients was highly respected, and the shape of the moth was used to make accessories, and the reward was given to those who had made meritorious achievements, which was a great honor! ”

After speaking, he put the pair of jade on the table, picked up the dark golden mask again, stretched out his thumb, and said excitedly to them: "But this mask is really a good thing! You three can even get this thing out, my big gold tooth really has nothing to say, just one word, serve!"

When Wang Fatzi heard that the value of the pair of jade was not much different from what Xia Yang said at the beginning, he was already smiling from ear to ear, but listening to the meaning of the big gold tooth, this mask seemed to be more valuable, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Yang again, and his face showed ecstasy: "Master Jin, you also said that this mask is more valuable, right?"

"How can these two things be compared together?" The big golden tooth glared at him, feeling that it was a great insult to compare the pair of jade bi with this mask: "This is not a thing of the Jin Kingdom, if I am not mistaken, the pattern on this mask should be a kind of totem of the Liao Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is the spoils of war taken by the Jin State after destroying the Liao State." You see, this mask is not only very delicately textured, but also made of gilding, just because it has been almost a thousand years, and it has black rust, this is a precious metal, this is a really valuable thing!"

"Then how much can it be worth?" Fat Wang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The big golden tooth shook his head, leaned over and said word by word: "This thing is quite rare on the market, priceless!"

Wang Fatzi was extremely excited, and turned his head: "Ouch, fat man, I really don't know gold and jade." At that time, I saw that this thing was dark and not slippery, so I didn't take it, fortunately, Brother Xia, you have the eyesight to bring this thing out, otherwise we will lose a lot this time!"

"Oh?" The big golden tooth was very surprised, and looked at Xia Yang in surprise, with a shocked face: "Xia Ye, this is a real person who doesn't show his face!"

Xia Yang smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Fatzi asked curiously: "Master Jin, although you say that it is priceless, this thing always has a value, right?

"It's hard to say how much it is, but I'll have to ask a few peers before I can set a price for it. The big golden tooth shook his head, and said: "But conservatively estimated, the value of this thing is at least ten times more than that pair of jade, which is still the lowest!"

Hu Bayi was speechless when he heard it, more than ten times, that is at least six figures, which is enough to build a road for the villagers of Niuxin Mountain!

He glanced at Xia Yang with shocked eyes, and then said, "Master Jin, these two things, we want to sell them as soon as possible, you can find a buyer for us as soon as possible." ”

"That's it, three. The big golden tooth pondered for a moment: "This pair of jade, regardless of whether it is a loss or not, I will directly receive 40,000 yuan, how about it?" As for this mask, if you want to sell it at a good price, I am afraid that it will not be easy to sell it in a short time, if the three of you can trust me, put me here first, I will go back and discuss it with a few experts immediately, see how much it is worth, and then contact the buyer, do you think it?"

Wang Fatzi looked at Hu Bayi, and Hu Bayi set his eyes on Xia Yang again, saw him nod slightly, and then said to the big golden tooth: "Yes, just do it." ”

"It's refreshing!" The big gold tooth slapped his thigh, then stood up, walked into the store, and took out two large stacks of thick banknotes: "This is jade money, 40,000, a lot of money, Hu Ye, you order!"

"We still can't believe you, Master Jin, don't count. Hu Bayi didn't bother, and directly put the money into his bag.

"Yes! I like cheerful people like you. The smile on the big golden tooth's face was even bigger: "Let's go, last time in that restaurant, we still had mutton shabu, and I was the east!" ”

Happy, he didn't do business, and after closing the shop, a few people went straight to the mutton restaurant, found a corner location, and chatted while eating.

The big golden tooth was very interested in their trip to Inner Mongolia, and asked about the situation of their ancient tomb, and Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi told some about the trip. Especially when it comes to Xia Yang, he praised him fiercely, and blew his mighty deeds of kicking a wild boar to death, shaking a big zongzi with an iron gun, burning bats, and how he saved their lives.

After learning about Xia Yang's achievements, the big golden tooth was also extremely shocked and shocked!

Then he said, not only did you get acquainted with such a great master as Brother Xia this time, but you also got that gilded mask, which is really worth it.

Wang Fatzi nodded in agreement, who said no, if it weren't for Xia Yang, even if they entered the ancient tomb this time, they were afraid that they would die in the hands of the big zongzi. Even if they were lucky enough not to die, the two of them would not have the sight to see, and they would definitely miss the mask.

The big golden tooth sighed and said to Hu Bayi and the others, you really should figure out the doorway inside, just like this time, go out, if you can't recognize good things, then wouldn't it be blind.

Hu Bayi also agreed with him, and asked Da Jinya to see if he could find an opportunity to bring them with him next time he went to collect things, and strive to learn some ways and grow some knowledge.

His words reminded the big golden tooth that there was really such a thing, especially suitable for a few of them.

It turned out that there happened to be an elder of the Great Golden Tooth, who was a professor of archaeology, and they mentioned such an incident when they were communicating in this area. It was during the Cultural Revolution that archaeology and cultural relics protection activities were interrupted, and after the reform and opening up, the country paid attention to it again, especially in recent years, it was an archaeological boom, just like the Niuxin Mountain they went to, a large number of ancient tombs and relics have surfaced.

The antique market has become extremely hot, and all kinds of large and small tomb robber gangs are also moved by the wind, digging when they see the tomb, and digging the grave when they see it, among which Shaanxi, Henan, Hunan and other places are even worse, and there is a tendency to intensify it.

Especially since the discovery of the tomb group of Loulan Xiaohe in Xinjiang, the talents in their archaeological field suddenly woke up to the fact that in the great desert of Xinjiang, the once glorious Silk Road, the 36 countries of the Western Regions along the Peacock River, Huhu, Loulan, Milan, Niya, Luntai, Pu, Gumo, Xiye, etc., I don't know how many treasures and prosperity are covered by the vast yellow sand. For a time, countless expeditions, archaeological teams, and tomb robbers rushed into the Taklamakan Desert in search of treasure.

The professor who Da Jinya knew had been studying the culture of the Western Regions for a long time, and was worried about the destruction of ancient tombs in Xinjiang, and had been looking for the leaders above to apply, hoping to personally lead a team to the desert to conduct an on-site assessment of these relics, and then apply to the relevant departments for excavation or protection.

However, the superiors have repeatedly postponed it under the pretext of insufficient funds. On the one hand, they really can't come up with the money, and secondly, there are too many people who have had accidents in the desert recently, and they are worried that the professor will have some accidents when they go. This is also an unspoken rule of officialdom, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

However, recently, a Chinese-American woman came forward to provide comprehensive funding to the professor's archaeological team, which made the old professor's wish come true. At present, this archaeological team is still in the preliminary preparations, they need to find a team leader with rich experience in desert survival, in addition to the lack of a capable person who understands the art of feng shui stargazing.

It's just that it's not easy to find people who really understand the rare knowledge of yin and yang feng shui, and most of the people who go to apply are people who deceive the world and steal their reputations, so this professor is also asking him to find this kind of strange person.

Da Jinya felt that Hu Bayi was very suitable for this job, because most of the archaeological team members were nerds who gnawed on books, and if they didn't have a team leader, they would definitely not be able to get out of the desert. And if there are no masters who know the feng shui of the stars, where can they find the existence of ruins and tombs?

After telling the three of them about the general situation of the archaeological team, the big golden tooth said: "Master Hu, Master Xia, Fat Master, if you are interested in going to the desert to have a look, I will write you a note at that time, and you can mention my name directly after you go." ”

Hu Bayi thought about it for a while, and didn't immediately agree, but just nodded and said, "Cheng, Master Jin, then the three of us will go back and discuss it, and then I'll write back to you." ”
