Chapter 434: Picking Up the Leak

Tang Chen thought that his acting skills had reached a peak, and the expressions of "shock", "helplessness" and "pity" all jumped on his face, and even Zeng Lao wondered if he had done something wrong.

The boss's eyes lit up and said, "It's better for your husband to say something...... It's just 5,500 yuan, I'll lose a little......" said so, but in fact, the boss was already happy in his heart. Although this estimate of 3,000 to 5,000 was a few years ago, and now that inflation is so strong, the current 5,000 is definitely less valuable than the previous 5,000, but the problem is that this Shanhai Town has not been cared for!

Although something is good, it is only a theoretical value if it cannot be sold, and the actual value is when it is sold. This boss also understands this truth, in the end, it is better to "bag and bag safety", and it is the safest to put money in your trouser pocket.

Ignoring Tang Chen, who was frowning, the boss said to Zeng Lao with a smile: "Do you still pay by card?"

"Hmmm......"

Zeng Lao said lightly, but he was a little frightened in his heart, afraid that he would ruin Tang Chen's good deeds.

After the transaction was completed, the boss also gave a woven bag and carefully put this piece of Shanhai Town into it: "You always go slowly!"

Tang Chen looked at this woven bag and felt very funny in his heart.

Zeng Lao couldn't help but wonder, this woven bag is actually from a nearby shopping mall, and it is estimated that the boss paid for the woven bag when he went to the mall to buy something.

When they were far away from this shop, Zeng Lao Cai asked, "Master Tang, is this ...... No problem, right?"

Tang Chen was stunned: "What's the problem?"

"This Shanhai Town?" Zeng Lao asked cautiously, "Isn't it a magic weapon?"

Tang Chen understood, it turned out that he had deceived Zeng Lao with his acting skills just now, and hurriedly said: "Zeng Lao, you don't have to take it to heart, I was acting just now...... If that's not the case, I'm afraid I'll be slaughtered like a fish by that boss. As he spoke, he took out this piece of Shanhai Town from the woven bag, felt the surging aura on it, and said in amazement: "This is an intermediate magic weapon, and the effect is powerful, it is really a magic weapon like gold balm, and it is the most suitable for home use." ”

Zeng Lao had also heard Tang Chen and the boss's explanations before, and asked in a little surprise, "Intermediate magic weapon?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this should be enlightened by Taoist methods, ordinary magic weapons, there is absolutely no such a strong aura......"

Tang Chen sighed with emotion and continued, "In this way, I will be more sure that I will be able to break that evil feng shui bureau." ”

Zeng Lao thought for a while and said, "Peach talisman, incense burner and Shanhai Town, these magic weapons can work?"

Tang Chen nodded and said, "It's enough, I was almost here, but now with the addition of Shanhai Town, I am more sure." ”

"But there are cracks in this Shanhai Town......" Zeng Lao said worriedly, "Is it okay?"

"Magic artifacts are not antiques......"

Tang Chen smiled bitterly, "If it's an antique, if there is any damage or flaw on the surface, it will definitely affect the price." But the most important thing about the magic weapon is its aura. If the aura is pure, even if it is a stone or a piece of wood, it has not been carved or concocted, it is still a magic weapon. Just like lightning striking wood, the wood that can still grow after being struck by lightning is naturally a magic weapon to drive away evil spirits and suppress evil, and the aura contained in it is the most severe. ”

Zeng Lao understood: "I see!"

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Then how much is this Shanhai Town worth?"

Tang Chen thought for a moment before asking, "Elder Zeng, from your point of view, how old is this Shanhai Town?"

Zeng Lao took the Shanhai Town in Tang Chen's hand, looked at it carefully, and then said uncertainly: "It's been several years, but I can't say which year it is." But I'm sure it's at least half a century old......"

Tang Chen nodded: "I think so too, it may even be Shanhai Town during the Republic of China, otherwise, how could the aura above be so pure and profound?"

Zeng Lao was surprised: "So powerful?"

"Of course......" Tang Chen nodded, and said with a look of disbelief, "No matter what else, even the thousand-year-old peach talisman just now, in terms of aura, it may not be comparable to this Shanhai Town." ”

Zeng Lao asked in surprise: "How can this be, this ...... This peach talisman is obviously older than the history of Shanhai Town?"

"This is the credit of the enlightenment of Taoism," Tang Chen said with a wry smile...... "Although the lightning strike wood peach talisman is powerful, its aura has not increased much in the past thousand years, and it may even lose its own aura because it has passed too long a time." On the contrary, Shanhai Town has been enlightened by Taoism, so in the past few decades, its aura has risen instead of falling. If there is any source of evil qi around the house, it is the best nutrient for the nourishing aura in Shanhai Town......"

Zeng Lao was amazed: "This Shanhai Town can grow its aura on its own, wouldn't it be able to reach the top magic weapon in time?"

"I'm not sure, but top-level magic weapons have to go through a certain amount of chance......"

Tang Chen thought for a moment and said, "If the opportunity is not met, the intermediate magic weapon is still an intermediate magic weapon, and there is no further possibility." ”

Zeng Lao suddenly realized: "Is this so? Then Master Tang, are we making a lot of money?"

Tang Chen said with a smile: "Sort of, if this Shanhai Town is in my shop, it will have to be sold for at least 300,000 yuan." But someone didn't know the goods, so they sold it to us for more than 5,000 yuan. ”

Zeng Lao also understands this truth, some special things can only play their role on special occasions. It's like the incense burner, some people think of it as an antique, and some people use it as a ritual utensil. It's hard to say which price is higher, after all, there are different people who are willing to bid. It's like a rich man is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the seal of Emperor Qianlong, but some people think it's not worth anything. You must know that in the life of Emperor Qianlong, there were as many seals on both sides. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and when there are too many of them, there is nothing of value.

Not to mention anything else, Emperor Qianlong alone wrote more than 10,000 poems in his lifetime, but what you are catchy now is not those famous Tang poems?

Therefore, scarcity is expensive, and this principle is the same wherever it is placed.

Of course, many people don't have the same eyesight as Tang Chen, so it's no wonder that they lost their eyes and were missed by Tang Chen.

Zeng Lao was in a good mood and asked, "Master Tang, then what are we going to buy next?"

Tang Chen snapped his fingers and said, "There aren't many left, now there are only brushes, willow branches, rootless water, and some medicinal herbs...... By the way, the Eight Treasures Seal Clay also needs to prepare some!"
