"You say, will the incense burner in front of this idol and the brass bowl for the sacrifice also be treasures?" Zhang Bao said as he picked up an incense burner and two copper bowls and looked at them carefully.

"As long as it's an ancient thing, it's basically a treasure." Zhao Mingding said, "You can't take it away." ”

The two were just about to turn around and leave, and at a glance, Zhao Mingding saw that the statue was holding a swarthy sword in his right hand, as if it was installed, so he stepped forward and pumped it with his hand, and as expected, it was pulled out. Looking at the left hand of the idol, what is it holding not the scabbard? The statue holds the scabbard of the sword in its left hand and puts it on its waist, and holds the sword above its head in its right hand to slash, its eyes are round, its teeth are bared, and its facial expression is fierce and vicious.

Zhao Mingding pulled out the scabbard, inserted the sword into it, and closed it tightly. The sword and scabbard were all black, and it was impossible to see whether it was gold or wood, but it was very heavy and surprisingly heavy, Zhao Mingding didn't pay attention at first, and the sword almost fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing that everything that could be moved was taken, Zhao Mingding and Zhang Bao returned to the platform, seeing that the time was not early, so they decided to return the same way and come back tomorrow.

Zhao Mingding took a look at the time and found that the time they stayed in it was actually very short, no more than two hours, so if they wanted to stay in it for a longer time, they would either come early or leave later, rather than come late and stay in this silent ancient city at night, Zhao Mingding would rather come early and return early. After all, he is not a professional grave robber and does not like to be active at night.

They were about to return to the stone room on the left, when they saw a black spot in the sky rushing towards them, as fast as lightning, as the distance got closer and closer, the black spot became bigger and bigger, it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, and they arrived in front of them.

Zhang Bao seemed to be stunned by this sudden attack, and he didn't know how to escape or fight back, but subconsciously shrank his head.

The bird of prey didn't catch Zhang Bao's head, but grabbed the backpack on Zhang Bao's back, vibrated its wings, and flew into the air, a pair of wings spread out to be four meters long, and the strong wind made Zhang Bao's head and face hurt. Seeing that the bird of prey was about to take off while grabbing Zhang Bao, Zhao Mingding didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out the sword in his hand and waved it over. As soon as the bird of prey saw Zhao Mingding pull out his sword, he immediately dropped Zhang Bao, fluttered his wings, and had already flown more than ten feet, stretched out his head, and shouted four times in a row, and the sound was permeable. As soon as the crying stopped, I listened to the continuous response of "yoyo-yo", from light to heavy, dense black dots overwhelming, but it was thousands of birds of prey that responded to each other, echoing each other from afar.

Zhao Mingding saw that it was not good, and hurriedly danced the sword flower to protect Zhang Bao and retreated into the stone room, fortunately, the door hole in the stone room was not very wide, Zhao Mingding had a sword in his hand, although there were many birds of prey, but they could not enter the stone room, only circling and flying outside, "slippery" screaming, the poultry manure of the white flower covered the platform instantly, and it was very sour and smelly.

Seeing that Zhang Bao had withdrawn from the stone chamber, and the birds of prey outside did not dare to rush in, Zhao Mingding quickly withdrew from the stone chamber and came to the arched door at the entrance of the ancient city. Zhao Mingding looked at the platform from the doorway, and saw that those birds of prey were still hovering in the sky, but none of them chased into the stone room, so he calmed down and turned to chase Zhang Bao.

Because they were worried that the birds of prey were chasing after them, the two walked very slowly, looking at the road from Zhang Bao in front of them, while Zhao Mingding paid attention to the back, until they walked for about an hour, and did not see any movement from the birds of prey, so they relaxed and hurried away.

When I returned to my residence, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Huang Li was leaning against the door and looking, and when she saw Zhang Bao and Zhao Mingding coming back, she immediately put on an apron and cooked, and after a while, she served a few side dishes and a glass of good wine, but the two of them couldn't care about eating, and couldn't wait to know if what they got today was worth it.

The first thing that came out was the piece of dog's head gold, which shone in the light. Both agreed that this piece of ko's head gold could be sold for a very high price.

As for the white pebble the size of a pigeon egg obtained by Zhao Mingding, neither of them knew what it was, so they put it aside and ignored it for the time being.

For the jade seal of the Emperor of the Kingdom, from the appearance, it seems to be real, but after all, no one has seen it, so I dare not draw conclusions.

"See what these things are?" As he spoke, Zhang Bao took out the three things he had been given in front of the statue: an incense burner and two copper bowls.

This incense burner is about 10 centimeters high, about 12 centimeters in diameter, has a mouth, a wide edge folded outward, a neck, a flat body of the stove, a round bottom, and bears three dwarf animal feet. The surface of the incense burner has a green glaze, and the inner wall and bottom are unglazed. The glaze layer is crystal thick and thick, the neck is engraved with peony petals, and the abdomen is engraved with peony leaves.

"This incense burner seems to be called 'Yaozhou kiln blue glaze printed peony pattern three-legged furnace', which is something from the Southern Song Dynasty." Huang Li said on the side, "Once there were a few Hong Kong customers in the restaurant, and they chatted about this thing, I just went into their private room to serve the food, and I saw the picture in their hand. When they saw me enter, they kept silent and put the picture in their hands upside down on the table. ”

"It is said that this incense burner is expensive!" Huang Li added.

"What about these two copper bowls?" Zhao Mingding hurriedly handed the two copper bowls on the side to Huang Li.

"What kind of copper bowl is this?" Huang Li said, "How do your eyes grow?" ”

"Different copper bowls, what kind of bowl is that?" Zhang Bao urged, "If you have something to say, don't sell it, I'm in a hurry!" ”

"This thing, it's called 'flower-shaped marigold', and it also belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty." Huang Li said, "You see, the outer outline of this marigold is in the shape of a flower, with distinct petals, and the heart of the marigold is a stamen, sticking out of the vase-shaped stamen. ”

"Made of gold, you say?" Zhang Bao asked, his voice out of tune.

"yes!" Huang Li affirmed.

"I can't see that Huang Li is still a treasure connoisseur!" Zhao Mingding smiled and handed over the sword in his hand, "Please help me identify this sword." ”

Huang Li took the sword and played with it carefully. The sword was unedged, and the sword and scabbard were all black, heavy and heavy, and I don't know whether it was gold or wood, and it was dull and silent when it was struck. Looking closely at the light, the scabbard and the sides of the sword blade are carved with two different human images and two strange characters.

"This sword is called the Exorcism Sword, and it is made of ancient peach wood." Huang Li said, "According to legend, in ancient times, there was a big peach tree on Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, the trunk bent and stretched for 3,000 miles, and the forked branches stretched to the ghost gate in the northeast, and the ghosts living in the cave under the ghost gate entered and exited this gate every day. Under the peach tree, there are two gods called 'Shen Tu' and 'Yu Lei' who will guard it. As soon as these two gods found evil spirits that were harming people, they tied them up with a net made of mango reeds and threw them to feed a tiger, because the ghosts were afraid of these two gods. Since the Zhou Dynasty, every New Year's Day, the people will use the peach board to paint the images of these two gods or inscribe their names, and hang them on both sides of the door or bedroom door to suppress evil spirits and drive away ghosts, pray for blessings and auspiciousness, this is the peach charm. Later, Taoist priests hunted demons and exorcised ghosts, so they used peachwood swords. This ancient peach tree has an unusually hard texture due to the aura of heaven and earth, and can withstand lightning and lightning shocks, ordinary knives and axes can't help it, I don't know which way the gods made it into a sword and a sheath, how much time and energy was spent? ”

Huang Li said, raised her sword and swiped lightly at the coffee table in front of her, and the coffee table fell in response, split in half, like cutting bean curd.

Zhang Bao and Zhao Mingding didn't expect this inconspicuous and unedged ancient mahogany sword to be so sharp, so they picked it up and watched.

"Jiuding, you'd better keep this exorcism sword, it can come in handy in the future." Zhang Bao quipped.

Speaking of which, as a Da Luo Jin Immortal who has ascended to the immortal register, how can he not have the sword of subduing demons and slaying demons? It didn't take much effort to get it.

Zhao Mingding pinched the trick with his left hand, and gently raised the palm of his right hand upward, and the evil exorcism sword slowly rose and stood in mid-air, and then pointed forward with his fingers, and shouted in his mouth, "Bah! Zhao Mingding opened his left hand and grabbed the evil sword lightly in the air, Zhang Bao and Huang Li didn't see it clearly, the sword was grabbed by Zhao Mingding, and then the sword was held flat with his left hand, and his right hand wiped the sword from left to right, and immediately hid the sword, as if it was a trick.

"Jiuding, I didn't expect you to have such a hand!" Zhang Bao smiled, "In the future, you don't need to bring money when you go out." ”

"I'm not an entertainer!" Zhao Mingding didn't have a good airway.

"Why don't you teach me?" Zhang Bao said with a smile, "If you really want to rely on your performances to eat one day, let me show up." Ha ha! ”

"Wow!" Zhao Mingding smiled, "If you want to teach you, you can kowtow to me three times first, and then call the master." ”

"Think beautifully!" Zhang Bao smiled, "In this way, I will be a generation lower than you, and I will never come out." ”

"If you want to learn art, you can't do it without apprenticeship!" Zhao Mingding said in his mouth, his right hand grabbed out of thin air, and the hidden exorcism sword immediately appeared again, and at the same time, the index finger of his left hand was lightly hooked, and the scabbard on the table slowly floated over, and he put the evil exorcism sword in his own pocket, and then inserted the sword into the belt behind his back, and became a Taoist priest who walked the world with a sword on his back. Zhang Bao and Huang Li watched dumbfounded.

"No, you must teach me!" Zhang Bao couldn't help but scream again, impatient.

"Actually, it's not that I don't teach you, it's that I can't teach you." Zhao Mingding said.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid someone won't agree."

"How is that possible?"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"No one who learns this art can get married!" Zhao Mingding looked at Huang Li with a smile, only to see her blushing face and staring at Zhang Bao viciously.

"That'...... That's it. Zhang Bao glanced at Huang Li, like a deflated ball, and suddenly became listless.

"To learn, or not to learn?" Zhao Mingding asked.

"Don't learn!" Zhang Bao replied categorically.

"What a pig's head!" Huang Li glanced at Zhang Bao and said, "Have you forgotten the ninth sister-in-law?" ”
