Chapter 275: The Old Taoist Priest in the Witch Temple

The speed of the car is neither fast nor slow, driving on the national highway. Shi Hongguan frowned, and his fingers clicked on the armrest, making a soft "click" sound.

Those who know him well know that he will only make such a move when a difficult problem arises.

Seeing that he knocked for a long time and had no intention of stopping, Tang Ling narrowed Danfeng's eyes: "Mr. Shi, is it not easy to do?" ”

Shi Hongguan woke up like a dream: "It's really a bit difficult!" ”

"You don't have to worry about the funds!"

Is it just because of the money?

Otherwise, when you hear the word 'Baoli', you should stop fighting!

"Mr. Tang, can you change places? For example, change to Fengyuan Industrial Zone on the left side of the river, or Xiaogang Town on the right side of the river, or Shitan Town on the south bank of the river? ”

"There are ancient kilns and ancient porcelain in these places?"

Shi Hongguan was speechless, and pinched his eyebrows slightly embarrassed: Of course not!

Tang Ling thought for a while: "What is the origin of that young man?" ”

"Changfu Mining Duan Baofu's son!"

It's really a narrow road, no wonder you're so worried?

"What about the other two?"

"I don't know, it should be his friend!"

"Can you investigate? Especially the one who is a little thinner and a little more handsome! ”

"No problem!"

Tang Ling subconsciously sighed.

Shi Hongguan agreed too quickly, and he didn't even ask why, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Go to the City Museum!"

"Huh?"

Shi Hongguan instinctively turned his head, including Shi Hongsheng, who was driving, also looked surprised.

"I'll show you something."

……

It's not a weekend and there aren't many tourists. After a simple registration, a group of three entered the hall on the first floor.

The exhibition hall is very large, nearly 2,000 square meters, long or square, sitting or standing, with fifty or sixty display cases. The lights were very bright, and the glass reflected a dazzling light.

The hall on the first floor exhibits all first-class cultural relics that have relatively cultural highlights, characteristics of the times, and can represent the local historical heritage, which is commonly known as national treasures.

Tang Ling walked quickly, straight forward, her high heels tapping on the marble floor, the sound was crisp and rhythmic. The two brothers were confused and followed closely behind.

Bypassing the milk nails and thunder pattern circle-foot copper and copper three-legged cover inkstone, and passing through the hollow green jade statue, Tang Ling stopped in front of a rectangular display case.

It is very large, nearly three meters wide, but there are few cultural relics, only two.

The first is a large cyan jar, with a short neck, skimming, flat bottom, no lid, and a blue-gray glaze, which is estimated to be the reason for the relatively sufficient light, and it looks very bright.

Look at the label, it is a blue-glazed applique four-series pan pot in the Western Jin Dynasty, the name is quite long, and it was unearthed in 1988 at the Hongzhou kiln site in Jiangwan Town, Fengcheng

Just glancing at it, Tang Ling retracted her gaze and raised her hand to point to another item in the display case: "This is it!" ”

This one is a bit strange, the shape of the vessel is thick and round, there is a handle on the back, it looks like a pot, but the mouth is very large, and the diameter is six or seven centimeters. The four-legged bend is engraved, and the top of the spout is engraved with ornaments representing the eyebrows, eyes, ears, and nose, and the whole is a bit like a tiger.

The name is very short, just four words: celadon tiger, but the introduction is extremely long: national first-class cultural relics, the only celadon tiger unearthed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty so far. In 1992, it was jointly excavated by the Jiangxi Institute of Cultural Relics and Beijing University at the Hongzhou kiln site in Jiangwan Town, Fengcheng, and in 2013, it was listed as a cultural relic prohibited from leaving the country for exhibition......

Shi Hongsheng was a little suspicious: there are a lot of porcelain unearthed from Jiangwan, which are displayed in eleven first-class museums in the province, including many cultural relics at the level of national treasures, and the shape of the vessel is not stranger than this.

Why did Mr. Tang let them see this?

Shi Hongguan next to him slowly recalled.

When he met Duan Mu, Shi Hongsheng was driving, and there was still him in the middle, so he didn't pay much attention. But he could see it very clearly, Duan Mu's friend was holding such a piece in his hand.

Since it is an antique porcelain factory, it is a signboard of "Hongzhou kiln antique porcelain", and it is normal to imitate some classic vessels unearthed from Hongzhou kiln, so the one in the young man's hand should be the one he picked up in the factory.

At this time, whether it is the shape, color, and the texture on it, it seems that there is no difference with this one in the showcase, so it is very similar to the imitation, and the degree of simulation is very high, almost identical.

At the same time, it also means that Tang Ling is not exaggerating: the artificial porcelain technology she has mastered is quite advanced, and the porcelain clay in Jiangwan Town is also very suitable for firing antique porcelain.

But it's okay to say it directly, I just asked for her opinion, I don't have to change places, there is no need to come to the museum.

Shi Hongguan sighed secretly, and nodded solemnly: "Mr. Tang, I understand!" ”

"No, you don't understand!"

Tang Ling's expression was extremely serious, "That one, it's not an imitation!" ”

What?

Shi Hongguan's pupils shrank, and Shi Hongsheng leaned back directly, staring at the label in the display case with sudden eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Didn't you say the only one, and where did that one come from?

"Soup...... Mr. Tang, have you seen it? ”

Tang Ling ignored Shi Hongsheng and just looked at his eldest brother: "Mr. Shi, you also saw it at that time, there is still mud in the toes of that thing, it must have been picked up from the factory just now, and there is soil on the glaze, and there is rust......

The key thing is that Jiangwan Porcelain Factory only imitates ware, not old ones...... Ji Yinglong even wants to be old, and he doesn't have such technology. So, that one is definitely an antique! ”

"How can it be so coincidental?"

"It's definitely not a coincidence: do you remember, when I said I wanted to take a look, he covered the soil and rust with his hands, so he knew exactly what it was!"

"Meaning, a connoisseur...... But so young? ”

"That's why I'm asking you to investigate!"

"This is a little too magical, you can pick it up?"

"When Ji Yinglong first shipped out, the real products were all hidden in imitations, and it is estimated that this is how they were mixed in, so there is no need to doubt ......"

After a pause, Tang Ling looked at the display case and lowered her voice, "That one is no different from this one, they are both national first-class cultural relics!" ”

Shi Hongguan frowned, looked at the display case again, and his eyes gradually narrowed into two slits.

National first-class cultural relics?

From this, it can be seen that there must be such things under the ground of Jiangwan Porcelain Factory. Not to mention, there are a lot of ...... That's the main purpose of this woman!

His heart beat twice involuntarily, and he swallowed hard: "I don't want to be the second Ji Yinglong!" ”

"I always think too much! You only need to cooperate with me to acquire land and build a factory in the early stage, and you will only be responsible for sales after completion. I'll take care of the rest of the raw materials and production......"

Tang Ling smiled lightly: "I brought you here just to let you know: Jiangwan has the best soil quality, the most ancient porcelain pieces, and the most suitable for the production of antique celadon, so Jiangwan Factory cannot afford to lose ......."

The meaning is: you just do your own thing, don't care if it's porcelain or antiques that I dig up, even if it happens, it has nothing to do with you.

Tang Ling said categorically, Shi Hongguan had some gains and losses: this is a veritable national treasure, even if one piece is only sold for 10 million, ten pieces are 100 million, how many antique porcelain can be sold to make so much?

But at most, it's about thinking.

Invest 30% of the capital, account for half of the shares, but can get 70% of the sales profits, travel all over the world, and it is impossible to meet a second such cooperation object, so Tang Ling and the big boss behind her will never let themselves get involved in any business other than antique porcelain.

What's more, if one of them is not good, it will be confessed in the second half of his life......

After thinking for a long time, Shi Hongguan nodded vigorously: "Mr. Tang, rest assured, I will take the Jiangwan Factory at all costs!" ”

Tang Ling finally showed a satisfied expression: "Mr. Shi, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic." If necessary, you can also use some unconventional means! ”

You can't kill people, Duan Baofu is not a vegetarian, not to mention that there is a Baoli?

"I understand!"

After reading the things and achieving the goal, there is no need to waste time here.

The three of them walked out unhurriedly.

Shi Hongguan told Tang Ling about the grievances between the Shi and Duan families, and Shi Hongsheng followed behind, his expression gradually gloomy: Extraordinary means?

Duan Mu, you're going to be unlucky......

was secretly ruthless, the mobile phone "buzzed" twice, and Shi Hongsheng subconsciously clicked on it.

Immediately, his hand couldn't help shaking: "Big brother, Mr. Tang, what do you see?" ”

The two subconsciously stopped and turned around at the same time.

A message was displayed on the mobile phone screen: Mr. Shi, ask clearly, they are also here to buy the factory...... I went to the town government first, and then I went to the porcelain factory, and I looked more seriously, and all the workshops went around......

In the end, a lot of antique porcelain was pulled away, and two carts were pulled and sent directly to Nanchang. So when we saw them, they were walking...... The doorman said that they were all defective products, and the things were very miscellaneous, and there were bottles and cans...... There is also a celadon urinal in it......

Chamber pot...... Isn't it a celadon tiger?

Two whole cars?

"Whew"!

Tang Ling's face changed, and there was a cold light in her eyes: "Mr. Shi, if you can't do it, I'll change the cooperation ......."

……

After walking for almost four kilometers, the online car-hailing service was late, and it took another half an hour for the three of them to return to the hotel.

After washing, I dealt with it casually at noon, and several people went back to their rooms. Lei Ming really didn't want to live alone, and said that it was boring, and he wanted to squeeze in a room with Li Ding'an.

There was no way, Li Ding'an could only change to a suite.

"When you pick up an antique, shouldn't you contact the Public Security Bureau or the cultural relics department, just like the stone scripture before, what did you call Professor Wu for?"

"Because the Hongzhou kiln at that time was a joint archaeological excavation between the School of Culture and Museums of Beijing University and the JX Provincial Institute of Culture and Research, including the Hongzhou Kiln Museum, which was also established under the joint guidance of the two companies, so even now, Jingda is still a joint protection unit of the Hongzhou kiln site......

"Your school is pretty good, isn't it?"

"That's!"

"What about this thing?"

"Just take it back when you go back to Beijing, Professor Wu has already asked the school to go through the process, and it can be regarded as my donation to Beijing University......"

"You are a student of Beijing University, and if you donate to the school, you will at most receive a certificate of merit, which is equivalent to saving even the bonus?"

Lei Mingzhen frowned, "You always have to develop a topic or something, right?" ”

"Your subject is Chinese cabbage, and you can develop it if you want to? Hongzhou kiln has long been thoroughly studied......"

"Then you're busy......"

"You know a hair?"

After a few words, he called Chen Jingshu again and asked her to send someone to buy a bag box (a special box for transporting cultural relics) in Nanchang and send it over.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Lei Mingzhen urged him again and asked Li Dingan to take them to Miao Wu.

After asking several times, Fu Yan said that she would not sell those few things, and she would not sell them no matter how much she was given. Then Lei Mingzhen thought about it in his heart, and hung it on his lips every day, asking Li Dingan to buy him one or two pieces no matter what.

Li Ding'an also wanted to see where Miao Wu, who Fu Yan said that "there seem to be a lot of similar objects", got so many Taoist things.

As soon as he said go, he called Duan Mu and Fu Yan, and the four of them left the hotel and went straight to Liujiajing.

Fengcheng has many wells, so most of the streets and squares in ancient times were named after "wells". During the Republic of China, there were about more than 200 people in the entire urban area, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the name was changed one after another, and most of them were filled in because of the expansion of the city.

Nowadays, there are not many left, the most famous is "Fengyi Seven Wells", which still retains the original ancient wells and buildings, and is also the city card of Fengcheng City, among which Liujiajing is the most.

There are many shops, there are also many tourists, and among the green trees, there are many ancient houses, and the arches are staggered.

The gray walls are mottled, like the annual rings carved by the years. The ancient alleys are deep, and the bluestone-paved paths seem to be huge, winding and not knowing where to go.

Simple and lively, long and intimate.

"Goo...... Gollum ......"

The pig's blood kept tumbling, and the soup had turned a dark red. The claw fence rubbed the bottom of the pot and fished out a full basket. Throw a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkle a spoonful of chili peppers, red and salivating.

There was another "sting", and the fresh and tender slippery river had just come out of the cage, and a spoonful of hot oil was poured down, and the fragrance immediately entered the nose.

Li Ding'an tasted it lightly, but Lei Mingzhen shook his head and praised it. The four of them wandered in the deep alleys, appreciating the unique ancient meaning and customs of Jiangnan.

Not long after leaving, Fu Yan pointed to a door: "Teacher Li, this is it!" ”

It opened on the side of the street, with bluestone steps and a red-lacquered wooden door, and there was a screen at the entrance with a huge grimace carved on it: blue-faced fangs, angry eyes, and a terrifying and eerie aura.

The religious culture of the Miao nationality is very distinctive, advocating that "everyone can reach the sky, and every family can be a witch", so there are many and miscellaneous schools. There are more than 200 "ghosts" of all kinds who believe in them.

Li Ding'an couldn't recognize which of the more than two hundred people it was, but at least he knew that there was indeed a Miao witch living here.

"Miao Wu has a lot of taboos, after you go in, don't talk less, don't be open-mouthed!"

"Don't worry!" Lei Mingzhen scoffed, "Haven't I ever experienced it?" ”

Li Dingan nodded: It's good to know, save yourself from being beaten.

Don't believe it, Lei Ming really suffered......

After a few words, a few people entered the door, bypassed the screen, and were cheerful.

The place is not small, there are more than 200 square meters, the middle is very empty, and there is a square platform. On all four sides there are counters and wooden shelves, which are filled with objects: cymbals, gongs, drums, bells, trumpets, rulers, orders, hexagrams, and seals...... All sorts of things, all kinds of things, and so on.

There are also many hanging on the walls: floral robes, robes, rust, and all sorts of masks and silver ornaments......

Lei Ming was extremely curious: "What kind of place is this, the troupe?" ”

God's troupe, do you dare to say that you have been to Longhu Mountain to ask for charms?

"This is the Dharma Hall, also known as the Witch Temple!"

That is, the place where Miao Wu performs things, whether it is gongs, drums and other musical instruments, rulers, orders, and robes, flower clothes and masks, etc., all of them are magic weapons.

Look around the square platform again: the bluestone floor has been polished and reflected, which means that the altar is often opened, and there are many onlookers.

It seems that it is indeed like what Fu Yan said: this Miao Wu has a high prestige and many believers.

It's hard to say how complete the inheritance is, but it should be pure.

"Dad, someone looks like they're coming in?"

"Then why don't you go out and have a look?"

"Tired!"

"Am I not tired? Bastard things, don't say let Lao Tzu take a break......"

There was a voice from inside, and with a flurry of footsteps, two men came out of the side door.

It looks very similar, at first glance, it is father and son, the younger is about thirty years old, with a ponytail and riveting boots, which is not ordinary fashion.

The old man is in his early fifties, short and thin, but the strange thing is that he is wearing a Taoist "class robe" and a lotus crown on his head?

In Wuguan, a Taoist priest ran out, which is quite magical.

Sure that she was not mistaken, Fu Yan greeted respectfully: "Mila! ”

In an instant, Li Ding'an was stunned: this is the ...... An old wizard of the Miao nationality with profound mana and a wide range of followers?

But what about your pure Taoist dress?

It's a shame that I just praised you for your pure inheritance...... (End of chapter)
