Chapter Seventy-Five: A Jade Plaque from the Ming Dynasty
"Hmm. ”
Ye Jian had to admit that Tong Luda was a master of the Blossom Realm, and he could see at a glance that he was a lower-level cultivator.
"However, you only broke through the embryonic realm a few days ago?"
Tong Luda felt that he was a highly talented person, but it took him three months to break through from the first stage of the Sprout Realm to the second stage of the Sprout Realm, and it was still the result of reading books day and night, and practicing hard, but the Ye Jian in front of him only took a few days, which was incredible.
Ye Jian could only laugh a few times without explaining, Tong Luda knew that Ye Jian must have his adventures, since he didn't say it, it was inconvenient for him to ask more.
"Tong Lao, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Oh, look at me, I'm so old, I forgot to get down to business, you come with me. ”
Ye Jian and Tong Luda came to his study, only to see a chubby middle-aged man sitting in the room.
The man saw Tong Luda and Ye Jian and quickly got up.
"Let me introduce you, this is Wen Xuan, the master of the Pearl Hall. ”
Mingzhu Hall is specialized in the auction of artifacts, and there are branches in the big cities of the entire Mixed Yuan Continent, not in small places like Dayue City, but in big cities like Qingzhou City, Ye Jian once passed by Mingzhu Hall in the Shenxu Market, and when viewed from the outside of the building house, it was very magnificent.
Ye Jian immediately hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the Master of Wentang." ”
Although the influence of Mingzhu Hall on ordinary people is not as great as that of Xinhua Bookstore, but its influence among the elite high-level people of book qi cultivation is very large, no less than Xinhua Bookstore, because in this era, artifacts are precious and difficult to find, especially the more high-grade artifacts, many of which will be auctioned in Mingzhu Hall, and will not be placed in the small shops of those god markets.
Wenxuan has always regarded himself too highly, he is in charge of the artifact auction work of Qingzhou City Pearl Hall, he is knowledgeable about ancient books, has some understanding of various artifacts, and is good friends with Tong Luda, one Tong Luda's identity and status are equivalent to his own, and the other is that Tong Luda is the big shopkeeper of Xinhua Bookstore, and his knowledge of ancient literature is good.
Wen Xuan came to Tong Luda this time, because he had taken over a new customer's auction item, but there seemed to be some problems with this artifact, he and Mingzhu Tang's subordinates studied for a long time, but they didn't find out what the problem was, so they came to Tong Luda to discuss, Tong Luda also said that he didn't understand, but Tong Luda said, "Master Wentang, I have a master here, I ask him to come out and help you take a look." ”
Wen Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and now that he saw Ye Jian, this young man was only about 16 years old, could he be a master in Tong Luda's mouth?
Ye Jian greeted Wen Xuan with a fist, but Wen Xuan looked a little arrogant, but for the sake of Tong Luda's personal introduction, he reluctantly nodded.
"Brother Tong, didn't you just say that you would introduce a master to me?"
"Hehe, Master Wentang, this 'Master Ye' is what I call a master. ”
Tong Luda admired Ye Jian's knowledge of ancient texts from the bottom of his heart, and he respected Ye Jian as a teacher, and he was also sincere, when he saw that the master of the Wentang looked down on Ye Jian, he deliberately bit the word 'Master Ye' very hard.
Wen Xuan thought to himself, is this Tong Luda old and confused, how to call this young man a teacher, looking at his cultivation, he is only the second stage of the embryonic realm, although he is not bad among people in the same year, he is definitely not outstanding.
Wen Xuan naturally didn't want to refute Tong Luda's face, and smiled, "Since Brother Tong calls this young man a teacher, he must have some special skills." ”
Wen Xuan's tone of voice was very light, very disapproving.
Tong Luda didn't break it, and said, "Do you have the ability, it's not the age level, shopkeeper Wen, since you're here, why don't you show your things to Master Ye, maybe he can help you provide some advice." ”
"Okay, then let me see the benefits and disadvantages of the 'literary teacher'. ”
Wen Xuan also deliberately bit the word 'Wenshi' very hard, but it was the opposite of Tong Luda's meaning.
Wen Xuan slapped the storage bag, and a jade plaque flew out, appearing in front of Ye Jian.
The jade brand is antique, and it looks like an artifact of some ages.
Ye Jian held it in his hand and took a closer look at the words on it, and an ancient poem was engraved on the jade plate: "Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and ten thousand horses are sad, I advise the heavenly prince to be vigorous and eclectic to reduce talents." ”
Ye Jian looked at it for a moment, then looked up at Wen Xuan, "I don't know if Hall Master Wen has any questions?"
"Alas, that's the case, I have an old customer, yesterday sent this jade plate to me, let me help him auction, I see that this jade plate is at least something from the Ming Dynasty, and there is such a good poem on it, it is naturally a high-grade artifact, but ,,,"
Wen Xuan glanced at Tong Luda, and then said, "However, when we injected the book qi and refined this jade plate, the power of the book qi that was stimulated was not as high as we imagined. ”
"I also asked the old customers who sent the jade card, he said that we should not understand the ancient text on the jade card enough, so it was not able to be completely refined, and it was not possible to stimulate all the contained book gas, as soon as I heard what he said, it made sense, and it was recommended to auction according to the Ming Dynasty artifact, and the day after tomorrow was the auction time, but I was always a little unsure in my heart, if the jade card was auctioned according to the Ming Dynasty artifact, the price was expensive, in case something went wrong, but it was going to smash the signboard of our Pearl Hall. ”
The hall master looked at Ye Jian, "No, I'll find the shopkeeper of Tong Da and ask him to help me palm my eyes, Brother Tong can't be sure, and said to recommend a master to me to see, so I called you over, I don't know what you think?"
At this point, the master of the hall decided that it was impossible for Ye Jian to see what was wrong, Ye Jian was too young, even if he started reading from his mother's womb,
It is impossible to surpass his and Tong Luda's insights.
Ye Jian smiled, "Actually, this jade plate is real. ”
Tong Luda and Wen Xuan looked at Ye Jian, "Ahhhhhhh
"I said that this jade plaque is real, but I just affirm that this jade is indeed a thing of the Ming Dynasty, but there is a problem with the ancient characters on it?"
"What? There's something wrong with the ancient texts on it? However, I can obviously stimulate the spirit of the book, and it should also be the ancient texts of ancient times. ”
The hall master said.
"Well, the ancient text on the jade plate is indeed the ancient text of the ancient period of the human race, but the era of the ancient text is not the same as the era of the jade plate. ”
"Inconsistency?"
"Yes, the jade plate is the Ming Dynasty, but the ancient text on it is from the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, someone engraved an ancient poem of the Qing Dynasty on a piece of ancient jade in the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing for the artifact is the time when the ancient characters were born and the time of engraving, the time when the ancient text on the jade plate was born in the Qing Dynasty, and the time of engraving is also after the Qing Dynasty, so this artifact can only be counted according to the era of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Ahh
Wen Xuan and Tong Luda suddenly realized, no wonder the calligraphy inspired on the jade plate was not strong enough, it turned out to be just an artifact of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Wen Xuan's contempt for Ye Jian in his heart was completely swept away, he clenched his fists at Ye Jian, and said solemnly, "Master Ye is young, but he has such profound knowledge, Wen admires it, I was offended just now, and I invite Haihan." ”
Wen Xuan, like Tong Luda, relied on his own cultivation and knowledge of ancient literature the most, and admired those who were more knowledgeable than himself, although he had contempt for Ye Jian before, but after learning that Ye Jian did have real materials, he immediately changed his attitude.
Tong Luda is a person who is respected as a teacher, what else is he Wenxuan not convinced?
"Haha, it's easy to say, Master Ye is open-minded and doesn't care about himself, what's the matter? Master Wentang, the person I recommended is right, right?"
Tong Luda stroked his gray beard and laughed.
