Chapter Forty-Eight: Jade Jane
Chapter Forty-Eight: Jade Jane
At about two o'clock in the morning, a BMW X5 drove out of the hotel parking lot, drove through a few empty roads and stopped at the corner of the entrance of the night market, and two young people, Shi Shiran, walked in.
"Uncle Xiao, this is a ghost market?"
Li Tianlin looked at the stalls on both sides of the street, scattered with dots.
The night market is brightly lit and crowded, this ghost market is really a ghost market, there are no street lights on the whole street, not to mention, there is a small light bulb on each stall to illuminate, and even some thieves will take a flashlight, what you want to buy will give you a photo, if you don't buy it, you will stand under the tree and guard the stolen goods without making a sound, only the light and dark cigarette butts can see that there are people in this place.
It was also thanks to Ying Jun who heard Lao Peng say that the ghost market was a black light and was prepared, so he took out a small flashlight from his pocket and signaled to the little fat man, but did not speak, and walked to the nearest stall and glanced at it.
The stall owner came on a tricycle, and there were miscellaneous things in the compartment, radios, video recorders, pressure cookers, and so on.
Isn't this just a collection of rags! After sorting things out, they will be sold in the ghost market.
A middle-aged man next to him was debugging a portable radio in his hand, and the speaker made a noise of "hiss-la-hiss".
"How much?"
"Fifteen!"
"Ten pieces!"
“... OK!"
After a few simple and soft words, a question and an answer, a small portable radio was sold for ten yuan, and the buyer took the radio and left quickly.
Hey, it's kind of interesting! Such a new radio costs at least sixty or seventy yuan, and ten yuan is cheap to buy a second-hand one.
Ying Jun and Li Tianlin glanced at each other, and seeing that there was nothing needed in this stall, the two continued to walk forward.
There are various stalls selling second-hand household appliances, clothes, shoes and hats, glassware, pots and pans, and miscellaneous items comparable to department stores.
But that wasn't what the two of them needed, until they came to the shade of a tree.
A few woven bags lay on the floor, and in the dim light of the other stalls, there were several bronzes, porcelain, and a small pile of ancient coins.
As soon as I walked into Ying Jun, I smelled a muddy smell, just unearthed!
Touching the little fat man who just wanted to speak, Ying Jun shook his head slightly, and swiped the small flashlight in his hand at a few things on the woven bag.
Several bronzes are not very large, they are full of green rust, and they can vaguely distinguish that they are food and wine vessels, which are used for cooking and drinking wine in ancient times, but they are all seriously damaged, the only four-legged tripod has a broken leg, and there is a brick on the side, and the porcelain is also an ordinary plate and bowl or the like, the corners are damaged, and the only complete wine glass is also gray.
Neither of them was an archaeologist or an expert in cultural relics, and they couldn't tell whether these things were precious or not, and they were both not interested in seeing these objects clearly.
"Is there any ancient jade?"
Ying Jun thought for a moment and asked softly.
“... Yes!"
The two men in the dark shade gestured to each other, one whispered in reply, and then pulled a cloth bag from the waistband of his trousers and placed it on the woven bag.
Then in the dim light, Ying Jun also saw the person's face clearly, under the chicken's nest-like messy hair was a wrinkled and thin face, and the black finger joints of the cloth bag were thick, and when he put the cloth bag on his body, he carried a strong earthy smell to his face.
It's definitely been two days since I came out of the tomb!
Because Ying Jun not only smelled the smell of earth, but also smelled a trace of rotten stench, although this person had taken a bath, but the breath in the ancient tomb could not be dissipated after a few baths, this breath was best basked in the sun for a few days to get rid of it, but Gwangju was cloudy yesterday.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Ying Jun, his mind is attracted by the cloth bag.
Finely untie the cloth bag, and there are a few pieces of ancient jade wrapped in cloth, and a few pieces of jade pendants and a jade cicada are all seriously colored.
"Is there such a long jade slip?"
Li Tianlin saw that these were ordinary tomb ancient jade, and couldn't help but gesture with his hands and ask.
"Nope!"
The thin man glanced at Li Tianlin and shook his head slightly.
Seeing that the young man who was looking at Gu Yu put Gu Yu back, he nodded at him without speaking, and put the cloth bag back casually.
Seeing that the little fat man was going to ask something, Ying Jun hurriedly pulled him and signaled that needless to say, these two tomb robbers are obviously coolie characters, and the good things have been taken elsewhere by the leaders to get rid of, and the remaining rags will try their luck with the ghost market.
The jade slip in the cultivation realm is not just to dig an ancient tomb to find, the ancient cultivators also do not communicate much with the world, unless they can hit the great luck to touch the cave left by the cultivator, and then pray that there is no formation laid in it, and then the character explodes to find the resources left by the cultivator, and the most important thing is that this cultivator still has to cultivate his divine sense, otherwise why do he want a jade slip without divine sense? A thin piece of jade slip is not as valuable in the world as a beautifully carved jade pendant.
So the two continued to walk forward, but unfortunately the next few cultural relics stalls either did not see the value, or were modern handicrafts.
The two of them saw a few bronzes on a brightly lit stall, and when they got closer to take a closer look, they didn't see anything, but they smelled a trace of fireworks.
This is obviously freshly cast, and then stained with mud and patina.
After walking around the ghost market, I didn't find ancient books and jade slips, and the time was almost four o'clock in the morning, and the two of them were a little frustrated, just when Ying Jun pressed the car key to unlock it and was about to drive back, a voice came from behind.
"Two bosses, wait a minute!"
An obscene figure emerged from the darkness.
"What's the matter?"
Ying Jun was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked.
"The two bosses are looking for that kind of jade piece? hehe......
The person who came asked softly with a smile, gestured with both hands, and after seeing the two nodding, he continued: "I have a few pieces there!"
"Oh, can you elaborate on that?"
"It's about three or four centimeters wide and six or seven centimeters high, and it's carved with various symbols......"
Just as this person was talking about the characteristics of the jade tablets, two tricycles turned around the corner, and some stall owners in the ghost market withdrew their stalls and went home.
"Zhang Laosan, your jade pieces are worthless, don't lie here?" haha~"
Two men on tricycles turned the corner and heard someone talking, and when they heard carefully, Zhang Laosan, who was lazy and lazy, was fooling people again, and one of them laughed and teased.
"Old Li Tou, don't you sell handicrafts as antiques? My jade piece is genuine, although the quality of the jade is a little worse, but it is still ancient jade!
"Hahaha~"
"Okay, okay, then you sell slowly, let's go first, haha~"
The two men laughed a few words and stopped arguing, Zhang Laosan was right, the jade quality is not very good, but it is always ancient jade.
"Let's go, take us to see it, we'll buy it!"
After listening to Zhang Laosan's description, Ying Jun also had a little confidence in his heart, the texture of the jade tablets used to make jade slips is generally very ordinary, of course, there are some top exercise inheritances that will use mutton fat white jade to make jade slips, and the surface will generally be engraved with specific runes to lock the divine consciousness information.
The same is true of the jade slip in the Ten Khotanese Pagoda, Zhang Laosan described it very right.
So Zhang Laosan rode a bicycle to lead the way in front, and Ying Jun and Li Tianlin drove behind.
The two of them are not afraid of what tricks he plays, if it is really a jade slip retained by a cultivator, it is nothing more than a matter of price, but for Ying Jun, if he can buy a genuine jade slip with money, will he care about how much money there is?
More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the edge of a low dormitory, and in front of it was a small alley, and the car could not drive in.
The two walked into the alley, entered a small courtyard, stood at the stone table in the courtyard, and then waited for Zhang Laosan to go to the room to get the jade piece.
Although both of them are cultivators, it is indispensable to guard against people, and after being by Mixiang once, it is better not to enter the unfamiliar room at will.
"It's all here, you take a look. ”
Soon, Zhang Laosan took out a dirty small cloth bag from the room and put it on the stone table, and gestured to the two bosses who drove luxury cars.
He risked his life to get these jade pieces, so he wanted to sell them for a high price, but he sold them for almost half a year, and he was too lazy to take a look at them if he wasn't interested, and he was scared away by the price he said.
Under the light of the small flashlight, the gray-white runes on the surface of the four pieces of jade slips were clearly visible, and neither of them had any divine sense, so they could only take two pieces each to block the loss of a little spiritual power to investigate.
If it is a true jade slip, the runes on the surface will change and glow under the agitation of spiritual power, which is also the only way for Qi cultivation stage cultivators to identify the authenticity at present.
After a while, Ying Jun and Li Tianlin glanced at each other, and their eyes invariably flashed with joy.
"Alas~ The quality of this jade is indeed a little worse, and the surface is engraved with ghost painting talismans... Alas... Forget it, let's buy it cheaper! ”
Ying Jun pretended to be disgusted, and casually put the jade slip back on the cloth bag, with an attitude of not buying it if it was expensive, just when he retracted his hand, he found that there were words on the dirty white cloth wrapped in the jade slip, and the small flashlight that was quiet flickered and suddenly saw it clearly.
This dirty white cloth is the same material as the ancient seal book that he got in the cave of Liang Yuanchao in Yandang Mountain, like silk and brocade, and the two ancient books record the Shenglong Fist and the Imperial Sword Technique with the seal characters, and this cloth is also full of seal characters, and it seems to be a method of cultivating the heart with a few words at a cursory glance, but it was thrown in a corner by Zhang Laosan, who did not know the seal characters, wrapped in a jade piece, and looked wrinkled and dirty.
He suppressed his excitement and rubbed his hands together, as if disgusted with such a dirty white cloth for soiling his hands.
Zhang Laosan has been looking forward to it with hopeful eyes, and if he doesn't make some money, it will be a problem to eat today, and when he heard that the two bosses were interested, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Inexpensive ...... not expensive"
Zhang Laosan rubbed his hands happily, said continuously, and then carefully stretched out a finger.
"A hundred?"
The little fat man glared and asked in surprise, "Yu Jian!
"Alas... No, you can take a thousand dollars!"
Zhang Laosan waved his hand again and again, if someone wanted him to sell it early if he had a hundred yuan a piece before, but it would not be this price when he met these two bosses, he also knew that the car was called BMW, a good car that started at hundreds of thousands, of course the price was raised a little, and it was not too late to negotiate the price if it was too expensive.
"That's a bit high!but..."
Ying Jun said a word, he had already seen that this Zhang Laosan was not honest, he not only wanted jade slips and dirty white cloths, but also wanted to figure out where to get them, so he continued.
"You have to tell us where this jade piece came from, if we don't know where we came from, we won't dare to accept it!"
"Oh, two bosses, don't worry, I, Zhang Laosan, am a little poor, and I will definitely not do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, and there is absolutely no problem in coming!"
Zhang Laosan's eyes rolled, the boss was interested in the jade piece, and slapped the chest of a few taels of flesh, and then said: "You see that this jade piece is ancient jade, right! The symbols on it are also carved by the ancients, which definitely has high research value, if it weren't for the two bosses to make such a trip, I wouldn't have sold it for this money, right!"
Ying Jun didn't bother to compare his acting skills with Zhang Laosan, he had a lot of dreams at night, so he quickly got the jade slip and white cloth first, and quickly asked the source.
"A thousand yuan is no problem, but you have to tell me honestly how this jade piece came from!"
As he spoke, he took out a wad of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket, counted out ten and threw them on the cloth bag.
He originally meant that everyone should be happy, not missing your thousand yuan, but this pile of money made the other party's greed high.
This action of counting the money made Zhang Laosan's eyes red suddenly, he deserved to be a big boss who drove a good car, how good would it be if he gave himself so much money?
"Boss, tell you that the place is fine, but this information fee, hehe~"
As soon as he heard this, Ying Jun suddenly felt that he was reckless, his wealth was not exposed, and his eyes were red when he saw this pile of thousands of yuan, but the place he said was probably the cave mansion left by the cultivators.
Forget it, if you can find a cave left by a cultivator, let alone a few thousand yuan, hundreds of millions will be considered a lot of money.
casually wrapped the jade slip on the stone table in a white cloth for Li Tianlin to put away, handed the 1,000 yuan to Zhang Laosan, and shook the remaining pile of money.
"Take us there, the money will be yours!"
"Okay! It's a long way away, and I'll take a ride on the BMW of the two bosses......"
Zhang Laosan clutched a thousand yuan tightly, thinking that he could get a few thousand more yuan, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
Gwangju is located in the south of Daebie Mountain, and flash floods often occur during heavy rains, so the Namwan Reservoir was built after the founding of the People's Republic of China for flood control, irrigation, power generation and aquaculture, and this reservoir is also the largest reservoir in Gwangju.
The BMW meandered along the mountain road on the edge of the reservoir, and Zhang Laosan's hometown was at the innermost part of the reservoir.
Last summer, he went back to his hometown to live for more than a month, firstly to avoid debts, and secondly, he had no money to eat.
In the summer, the water level of the reservoir dropped, there was nothing to do to go to the reservoir to fish and touch the snails, that day luck caught a big fish, the result slipped for a long time fish, the fish drilled into a hole, he was unwilling, relying on his own water quality, directly hold his breath to drill into the hole to catch fish, only to find that it is a cave after entering, and there is no hole in it......
"Right here, now the water level is high, there is a cave about two or three meters down, there is a bigger cave three or four meters down the cave, there is air in it, as soon as I go in, I see that there are stone tables and stone chairs or something, my jade piece is taken on the stone table, but after I took the jade piece, I couldn't find the hole to enter, and I walked around for more than a day in it, and I was about to starve to death..."
This is obviously a trapped formation, as soon as the jade slip moves, the formation is triggered, and the little fat man then asked, "Then how did you come out later?"
"Good luck! I was so hungry that I couldn't walk on the ground, so I turned over and wanted to rest, but as soon as I turned over, I was back at the edge of the cave, and I was scared to death!"
Hearing Zhang Laosan say this, Ying Jun couldn't help but secretly admire, this product is really lucky, fortunately it is just a simple trap, it is estimated that he just hit the right position as soon as he turned over, and he came out alive by mistake.
"And you haven't been in since?"
"How dare I go in! I don't even dare to talk to anyone when I come out, people think I'm crazy!"
"It's right to be cautious, no matter how rich you are, your life is not as important as your own life! Tianlin, you and Zhang Laosan are waiting here, I'll go down and take a look!"
