After breakfast, the four of them said goodbye to these hospitable uncles and uncles, and drove to the hotel near the Longmen Grottoes to check in.

Recently, there have been night tours of the grotto.

It couldn't be more suitable for them.

At this time, familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment first, recharge your energy in the afternoon, and then visit Longmen at night in the evening.

"At that time, I came to Luodu once with my old man, and in the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed, and this place has really changed a lot."

Qian Sheng lay on the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"I haven't heard you mention it last time we came back."

Wang Qiang asked in front.

"Didn't we patronize our way last time? Coming non-stop, walking non-stop, not even eating, how can I still have the heart to recall the past. ”

"That's right! Why did you come here back then? Tourism? ”

"Hey, how can you still have this leisure at that time, do our antique business, if you don't come to Xijing and Luodu to walk around, you will be doing it blindly.

I didn't listen to Uncle Wang, he also walked all the way west along the Yellow River with his baggage, which is the birthplace of our Chinese civilization, and everything can be seen.

When I came with our old man, I came here to pick up the leaks.

I didn't go anywhere, I got up in the middle of the night for several days, just to go to the ghost market in the old city, I have the impression that my old man changed a lot of things in that ghost market, and he came back to make a fortune in Panjiayuan.

The deepest impression is that he received a pen wash from an official kiln in the Song Dynasty, and went back to earn a small 5,000 yuan. ”

"According to this, Luodu is still your family's 'blessed land', since you are here, why don't we also go to the 'ghost market' to see if there is anything left to pick up."

After listening to Wang Qiang's proposal, everyone summed it up, and now that the sky is not yet dawn, the "ghost market" in the old city should not have ended, so I just took this opportunity to go over and hug my eyes.

There are Qian Sheng and Lin Yishuang insurance, as long as they scan it, there will be no "fish that slip through the net".

What if it's like the last time in Xijing, and bumps into the "mallet"!

The car drove into the old city, where the pace of life is obviously not at the same frequency as the new district, many businesses have not yet gotten up to do business, and the streets are very deserted.

The ghost market is located on the market street in the old town, and according to the Internet, it is said that the market is open at 1 o'clock in the morning every day until 5 o'clock, making room for those who sell vegetables and sell breakfast.

They were over just in time for the end of the show.

"At this time, let's go over, whether it's good or not, how can I say it. The advantage is that those sellers who have not opened will not bite the price too hard at this time, so we can bargain.

The disadvantage is that if there is a real leak, it will definitely be picked up by others, so we can only try our luck. ”

When he arrived at the place, Qian Sheng told the door to the ghost market in front of him.

"Ordinary heart. Let's just come to consume food, take a walk, and see the excitement. ”

Lin Yi instructed behind him.

A group of four people entered the "ghost market", and the first few stalls were placed under the street lamps, and those things didn't need to be looked at a second time.

Said that it is a modern handicraft exhibition and sales have lifted him.

The porcelain fired by the gas furnace in Jingdezhen imitates the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, but that thing is glowing with "thief light", and there is no trace of the warm luster of ancient porcelain at all.

Wang Qiang was also about to take a look at the condition of the things, but was pulled by Qian Sheng, for fear of turning out a "microwave oven" payment from the bottom of the bowl.

On the other hand, in some of the stalls selling used books, many people gathered in a circle, pulling the dusty old books.

Let's say it's old, it's not that old, it's basically all taken back from their library after the collapse of the former state-owned factory.

In good condition, the old books of the big publishing houses have long been bought.

The rest is nothing more than some books that are poor, not complete, and not highly readable.

Bai Lu was more interested in those villain books, and squatted on the ground and flipped through a few books.

Lin Yi and Wang Qiang stood aside and were about to smoke a cigarette, but found that none of them had a fire.

"Can I borrow a fire from you?"

Wang Qiang saw that the owner of the second-hand bookstall had a half-open Hongqiqu cigarette box in his hand, presumably this old brother should also be a smoker, so he stepped forward and asked.

The bookstall owner, wearing high glasses and a military coat, sat on a horse, leaning against a lamppole, and looked intently at a book he was holding.

Hearing Wang Qiang's voice, he turned his head to look at him, and with his other hand, he took out a half-palm-sized piece, stuffed it into the pages of the book as a bookmark, and handed it over with a lighter.

Bai Lu took a hand and handed it to the two of them.

As soon as he lit the cigarette, Qian Sheng came over from the side.

"In stock!"

"Where? Where? Wang Qiang looked around.

Qian Sheng immediately lowered his voice:

"Don't shout, it's in the hands of the bookstall owner."

The two of them looked over in the direction, and the boss was rubbing the piece in his hand, and he was fascinated.

"Is that book an ancient book?"

"What kind of ancient book have you ever seen with a waist seal on the cover? Third child, are you talking about the nail piece in his hand? ”

"It's got to be big brother, you have good eyesight. If I'm not mistaken, it's a pangolin scale. ”

"Pangolin scales? That's not uncommon, this thing used to be available in pharmacies, and now pangolins are protected animals, but this nail piece can still be bought. ”

"Can I not know this? I'm going to show you both the shape of the armor. ”

The scales of pangolins are basically diamond-shaped.

But the piece of armor in the hands of the bookstall owner is a bit like a shield, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, thin in the middle, and there is a round hole at the top, on which some concave handwriting can be faintly seen.

"How do you feel like this thing looks a bit like a waist tag or a token?"

"That's right! This thing has something to do with the things hanging around our necks, the one on our neck is issued by Boss Cao, and this brand is the 'general order' issued by the Tuoba clan to the 'General of the Wilderness'! ”

"General's order?"

"Yes, in order to distinguish it from the gold talisman in the Jinxiao Lieutenant District, the Tuoba clan simply took the scales of the pangolin as a token, and used gold thread filigree on it to write: Imperial power concession, no danger in and out, eight words.

And this armor piece is only a part of this general's order, it is the shell, after it is roasted, it is covered on a black donkey's hooves, and several pills are placed in the hollow structure, which are used for detoxification, corpse suppression and self-cutting. ”

"Is there such a coincidence in the world? Yesterday we were still discussing the matter of the 'Wilderness General', and today we just landed, so we bumped into it? ”

"Whether it's true or not, let's see first."

Lin Yi walked to the bookstall owner with the cigarette case, pulled out a piece of Huazi and handed it over.

"I see you're about to close your stall, we want those villain books, let's get cheaper."

"Medium."

The boss happily clasped the book on his knee and reached out to take Lin Yi's cigarette.

"What kind of bookmark is this? It's pretty chic. ”

As he spoke, Lin Yi took the armor piece in the boss's hand.

When your fingers touch the surface of the nail piece, you can feel the traces of depressions on it, and when you look at it by the light, the dents have been turned down a lot by the bookstall owner, but you can still vaguely make out the word "in and out".
