Chapter 167: Determination
After Qiao Shijiao and Ming Lao looked at the jade lingzhi for a while, they put away their sighs and began to identify the ancient artifacts placed in the secret vault one by one.
To do this, you need not only a lot of knowledge and experience, but most importantly, a lot of character.
Qiao Shijiao and Ming Lao almost relied on the utensils for the silver bureau to eat, and also signed a contract, if something went wrong, the silver bureau wanted to find them accountable.
When Zhang Yu came in, he didn't sign any contract, and no one came to ask him what he wanted to do, not for anything else, just because he was Xia Shi.
From the perspective of the bank, if Xia Shi's identity can be taken out separately to talk about value, then the sum of all the things in the secret vault can't be compared, so even if Qiao Shijiao and Ming Lao have problems, Zhang Yu will not have a problem.
As the artifacts are identified, time is slowly passing.
Most of the time, it was Master Qiao and Mr. Ming who were busy.
Zhang Yu only watched from the sidelines and did not speak. However, although he stood there without moving, whether it was Wang Zheng, Qiao and Ming, they all took it for granted.
In their opinion, Zhang Yu is a Xia Shi, an ancient naturalist, and also a profound Taoist cultivator, so there is naturally no need to work on him for easier things. Unless he encounters something difficult and uncertain, he will come to him for determination.
Qiao and Ming are indeed a little capable, not only can quickly distinguish the origin of the utensils, but also accurately estimate an approximate price, the two of them say a record, and sometimes take turns, the action is fast and accurate, and the cooperation with each other is also very good.
However, this good atmosphere was broken when a wood carving of a moving horse was identified.
Ming Lao believes that this thing is re-carved and modified by later generations with the wood carvings of their predecessors, and the original one may be worth a few dollars, but now it is worthless.
However, Qiao Shijiao disagreed, he thought that this was an antiquity, and many traces on it were just immature skills and backward tools, which happened to be a true reflection of the primitive roughness, and it was still very collectible.
The two of them have their own reasons, so they can't argue, and in the end they can only ask Zhang Yu to come forward to judge.
Zhang Yu noticed this wood carving just now, he didn't take that thing, but he restored the truth from every detail with his superhuman first-class sense.
He said: "The two judgments are right, when this thing was first carved, the original owner made the stone tools, the work was completed at least two thousand years ago, although the original owner carved very seriously, but the original finished product is very rough, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning."
Later generations on the basis of the old, with a metal knife simple grinding to a few points, which not only retains the original rough appearance, but also makes the wood carving full of aura, it can be said that the decay into magic, later this carver, can be called a master, this is a very worthy collection of a thing. ”
When he made his judgment, he also took a pen and drew the general shape of the original wood carving, and also pointed out the positions of the changes on the wood carving.
After Qiao and Ming saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time they were very convinced of him.
Wang Zhi also nodded, but he was secretly proud in his heart.
It was his idea to ask Zhang Yu to come here to make a decision, and now it seems that this is the most correct thing to do.
And he also thought about it, if Zhang Yu agreed, then he would take out the latter's picture together and put it up for auction, so that the price would definitely be a few points higher.
After such an incident, in the following determination, whenever they encounter a problem, Qiao and Ming will come over to ask for advice, and Zhang Yu can always give accurate suggestions and judgments, which makes the two even more admired.
However, in one summer, the three of them had successfully identified everything, and Wang was in a good mood, so he invited them to the tearoom above to drink tea.
Ming Lao sat down on the soft chair, stroked his beard and said: "There seem to be a lot more utensils this month, there are almost a hundred pieces, right? Although it is only the New Year, there are usually only thirty or forty pieces." ”
Qiao Shijiao also said: "Yes, if Ming Lao doesn't say it, I don't realize it yet." ”
Wang Cheng said with a smile: "It's not surprising, recently a large number of goods and military supplies have been transported to the north, and there are rumors that the north is going to fight again, so many businessmen have sold these things at low prices." ”
Qiao Shijiao said strangely: "There is such a rumor, is there anyone still buying the cloth?"
Wang Zhi took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Yes, why not? He put down his teacup and smiled, "As long as the Metropolitan Protectorate is still there, then what's there to worry about." ”
Qiao Shijiao seemed to think of something at this time, put the teacup down, snorted, and said: "Today I read the newspaper and saw that Yao Hongyi, the shogun, wrote an article, and said those theories about the founding of the country there. ”
Ming Lao said: "Isn't Yao Hongyi always like this, just ignore him." ”
Master Qiao taught: "That's what I'm angry about, but there are people who believe in him, if I were the acting officer, I would have kicked this person out a long time ago, and it was his turn to bewitch the public there?"
Ming Lao shook his head and said: "Master Qiao, how can I be mixed with my generation? ”
Qiao Shijiao turned his head to look at Wang Zhi and said, "Wang Zhi, what do you say?"
Wang Cheng said helplessly: "The affairs of the capital hall, there are all the princes of the capital hall to theorize, I am engaged in a bank office, but I am just a person who takes care of a money bag, what can I say?"
Zhang Yu didn't open his mouth either. On the way here, he also read this morning's newspaper in the carriage, Yao Hongyi had been instigating the capital to establish a country on its own before advocating the new ceremony, although his remarks did not mention the overthrow of the beacon, but there is no doubt that the ultimate goal is this.
However, even if this person can be kicked out of the capital hall, it is not a solution to the problem, and if the Divine Captain Army and those subversives are not eliminated, then there will still be the next person who will stand up and advocate this set.
He stood up at this time and said, "It's not too early, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
Wang Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll send one to Zhang Shijun." ”
Zhang Yu nodded, said goodbye to Qiao and Ming, and walked out of the bank under Wang Cheng's send-off.
At this time, he looked at the sky and found that it was already midday, and he had only been in the bank for nearly two summer hours.
However, before he walked out of the secret vault, he had already absorbed the source energy in the jade lingzhi, and he almost had to observe the two seals of the divine yuan, which was also a small gain.
He found that with the improvement of his strength, the speed of absorbing source energy was also correspondingly improved, and this was still without damaging the artifact.
Glancing at the bustle of the harbor ahead, he walked down the steps, and instead of returning to the palace, he rode in a carriage all the way to the south of the city, and after leaving the city gate, he escaped to a mound to the east.
He took out a bone whistle from his sleeve and flicked it into the sky, and the object went high in the air with a high-pitched whistling sound.
After a long time, the object fell, and he grabbed it.
Because this trip will go to that abandoned place, and the Suyang predecessor that Tao Dingfu said also died in this battle, so he wanted to call his people to go with him on this trip to see if he could help him find that Dao inheritance.
And his senior brother has also been to the hinterland of Anshan, and his strength is enough, if the two join forces, most of the dangers can be handled.
But he waited here for a long time, but he never saw the figure of the peach dingfu.
He thought about it for a while, remembering that Tao Dingfu had said last time that he wanted to do something, and that he needed to leave Ruiguang City for a while, and it was likely that he hadn't turned around at this time, so this time he was the only one to go.
If you can find that place, find another opportunity to tell them.
At this point, he turned back into the air.
After noon, he returned to the Xue Palace, but instead of going to the residence, he went directly to the Xuan Mansion, and soon after, he appeared in the affairs hall.
Xiang Chun had been waiting for news from him for the past two days, and when he saw him coming, he immediately stood up, bowed his hand, and then asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, how are things?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and saluted back, and said: "I have already translated and read all the secret scrolls, if there is no mistake in the secret scroll itself, then I almost know the general location of the abandoned place." ”
Xiang Chun's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said, "That's good." ”
He thought for a while, took out a scroll of maps of the Metropolitan Protectorate from the side of the drawer, spread it out on the desk, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, come and see, judging from the location you deduced, can you point out which location it is?"
Zhang Yu looked at it and said, "When you really get to that place, you still need to sense the spirituality, and follow the secret scroll to see that boundary, but the general range is ......."
He looked along the vicinity of Ansan, drew a large circle with his finger, and said, "This is about the location." ”
Xiang Chun took a closer look, this boundary was already very deep in the depths of Anshan, and the range demarcated by Zhang Yu on the map, if it fell into detail, was actually a large and powerless area.
He sighed secretly, raised his head and said: "Senior Brother Zhang, the people who can fly away in the Xuanfu are except for you, that is, me and Senior Brother Dou, but in the current situation, neither he nor I can get out of it, and we can only rely on you for this matter." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I know, I'll clean up a little after I go back, and I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Xiang Chun solemnly advised: "Then you must be careful, if you encounter the worst outcome, you can first ensure yourself, there is no endless road, as long as the person is still there, you can find a way after you come back." ”
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiang, I will be careful." ”
