Chapter 79: Meet Kou Ye
Wang Ruxiang's heart was a little broken.
He has been engaged in treasure appraisal work for decades, and it is the first time he has such a feeling.
It seems that Lin Cheng's level of treasure appreciation is not inferior to himself.
Even stronger than yourself.
This discovery made Wang Ruxiang a little frustrated.
Although he has passed the age of competitiveness, Wang Ruxiang is quite proud of his treasure appreciation level.
But now, his pride has been shattered by Lin Cheng.
Wang Ruxiang, who came back to his senses, slowly sat back in the rocking chair, with very complicated emotions on his face.
"I kind of understand why you don't want to worship me as a teacher."
"At your level of appreciation, I really don't have the ability to teach you, and I didn't say anything about the previous words that asked you to apprentice."
Ye Xinquan and Wang Ruyan were both shocked.
These words came out of Wang Ruxiang's mouth, which was tantamount to admitting in disguise that Lin Cheng's treasure appreciation level was on an equal footing with him.
Who is Wang Ruxiang?
That's the grandmaster of the treasure appreciation world, a character of the Taishan Beidou level.
Lin Cheng can be compared with Wang Ruxiang's treasure appreciation level, which shows that Lin Cheng also has a grandmaster-level level.
Ye Xinquan looked at Lin Cheng in a daze.
I even have an urge to apprentice.
He has always wanted to find a master to apprentice, but he has never been able to get what he wants.
But when he saw Lin Cheng's young face, the impulse in Ye Xinquan's heart was suppressed again.
Worship a hairy boy who is more than 20 years younger than himself as a teacher, this thing is not good to say.
And Wang Ruyan grabbed Lin Cheng's hand excitedly.
It was as if he had picked up a treasure.
What a treasure!
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Elder Wang has recognized your treasure appreciation level."
"I told you a long time ago that I am very good at treasure appreciation."
"I know you're amazing, but I don't know you're so powerful, it's beyond my imagination."
Lin Cheng smiled.
was not excited by Wang Ruyan's exclamation.
"Elder Wang, I want to talk to you alone."
"yes, okay."
Wang Ruxiang also had a stomach for words, and wanted to say it to Lin Cheng alone.
So Ye Xinquan led Wang Ruyan out of the hall and rested temporarily in the small hall next to him.
"Why are you just like a demon, you have so much ability at a young age."
"You say that you are a family heirloom, but in my impression, there is no treasure expert surnamed Lin who is so rebellious."
What puzzled Wang Ruxiang the most was how Lin Cheng learned his skills.
"My father is not a professional treasure connoisseur, in your eyes, he is just a folk treasure connoisseur."
“!!!”
Wang Ruxiang was speechless for a long time in surprise.
A folk treasure connoisseur can teach such a powerful successor as Lin Cheng, so how powerful should Lin Cheng's father be?
"And where is your father now? I'd like to pay a visit and ask for advice. ”
"My father has been dead for a few years."
"Alas! It's a pity, it would have been nice to have met your father sooner. ”
Wang Ruxiang had a look of pity on his face.
At this time, Lin Cheng's heart moved.
Suddenly I felt that I might be able to ask Wang Ruxiang if I knew the jade carving of the horse-riding immortal that was handed down by the family.
That jade carving is definitely a fine jade, and if it is collected, it is likely to be known by people in the antique circle.
And Wang Ruxiang has a very high status in the antique circle and has a wide range of contacts, so he may have seen or heard of it.
Thinking like this, Lin Cheng immediately took out his mobile phone.
Find a photograph of a jade carving of a horse riding immortal remade from Liu Sanbai.
"Elder Wang, let's see if you've seen this jade carving."
"Let me see."
Wang Ruxiang took his mobile phone and looked at it.
After zooming in on the picture and looking at it carefully for a few minutes, Wang Ruxiang slowly shook his head.
"The carving should be a jade carving in the Han Dynasty, the workmanship is very exquisite, and the jade material is also of high quality, presumably used by the princes and nobles."
"And the pulp is very natural and oily, without the color of Tuqin, it should be a heirloom, and it is not easy to be handed down from the Han Dynasty and still be well preserved."
I have to say that Wang Ruxiang's eyesight is very powerful.
Just by looking at the photos, you can get so much information.
And every point is true.
"Have you ever seen this jade carving?"
"I haven't seen it, whose collection is this? The one who can collect this thing should be a very famous collector. ”
Lin Cheng smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ruxiang had never seen it.
This collector is really mysterious.
"I don't know who collected it, this jade carving was originally a family heirloom of my family, but it was stolen later."
"Then this jade carving went through several times, and anyone who owned this jade carving would die in an accident, and my father has been chasing this jade carving."
"In the end, he found the trace of the jade carving, but he also had an accident."
Lin Cheng briefly explained the situation.
This complicated situation made Wang Ruxiang frown.
"According to you, this jade carving is not ordinary, it seems to be a bit of a hindrance, but the things that have been handed down are generally not contaminated with resentment, is it a curse?"
"That's right, there's a curse on the jade carving."
"Then it's no wonder, a cursed jade carving is not a good collection, and the average collector is either dead or injured."
Wang Ruxiang paused, and his fingers tapped lightly on the arm of the chair a few times.
It seems that something is being decided.
"Do you want to use this jade carving to find out the cause of your father's death?"
"Yes, this is the most useful clue now, and the other clues are too old to follow."
"If you can find the collector of the jade carving, you may be able to ask him directly about the year."
"You first tell me about the events of that year."
Wang Ruxiang was also curious about the matter of Yudiao and Lin Cheng's father, and wanted to know more about it.
Then mobilize your network to investigate.
So Lin Cheng told everything he already knew.
After listening, Wang Ruxiang closed his eyes and recalled.
"Liu Sanbai, I know, I have also dealt with Kou Ye behind her, but Wu Zhong, the middleman, has never heard of it too much."
Lin Cheng's eyes lit up.
Wang Ruxiang actually dealt with Kou Ye.
"Do you know Master Kou? Then can you find a way to ask Kou Ye to meet me, I think Kou Ye should know a lot about that matter. ”
"Kou Ye is not easy to meet, even if I ask him to meet, he may not agree."
Although Wang Ruxiang has a big face in the antique circle, he can't do it in the inverted bucket circle.
What's more, Kou Ye is very cautious.
No one usually knows where he is, and it's even harder to see him.
