Prologue
Lin Cheng is an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, if you ask him what he likes to do the most, he will happily pull you to chat for a day and a night.
Lin Cheng likes history very much, and he applied to the history department in college, and after graduation, he was fascinated by the most precious cultural crystallization in China for 5,000 years, antiques!
With the knowledge learned in four years of college and the experience of crawling in the society after two years of entering the society, now those stall vendors and antique owners in Panjiayuan, Beijing, who see him will say hello cordially, "Xiaolin is here, do you have any old goods in hand today?"
Ordinary people are joking when they ask this, after all, how can the leakage of antiques be so easy to pick up, and it is just a good omen to ask when you encounter it.
But today is different, Lin Cheng actually smiled and nodded, and said to the stall owner who greeted him: Uncle Xu, I really got my hands on a treasure today, the material can't be seen through, the age can't be understood, there are no marks and textures, I spent a hundred yuan from Sister Chen, and I was ready to go home to study and study.
Lin Cheng called Uncle Xu is a middle-aged black and thin man, and he has been setting up a stall in this Pan Jiayuan for several years. "Hey, you kid loves to think about these haves and haves, and if you have this kung fu, you won't find a partner, and you're blind with such a good-looking skin!" Xu Laohei said with some hatred for iron and steel.
To say that Lin Cheng is really not bad, one meter eighty-three tall, with a beautiful face, if he wears a set of antique clothes and cosplays, he can definitely be called a handsome and chic handsome and handsome son, but those who know him know that this child is only interested in history and antiques, and he has never seen him take the initiative to talk to a girl. So everyone likes to tease him with a partner.
Hearing the words of the thin black man in front of him, Lin Cheng just scratched the back of his head and smiled, without answering his words.
"Forget it, I'm not kidding you, let's take a look at the goods that Uncle Xu has picked up in the past few days? ”
Xu Laohei specially went to the countryside to dig out the old house, he has more genuine goods here, but the price is also higher, but I don't know why, Xu Laohei looks at Lin Cheng very pleasing to the eye, so generally just after digging out the old house and seeing Lin Cheng will let him pick it first, Lin Cheng will not ask for anything in the sky.
This is fundamentally different from those outsiders or tourists, the antique vendors in Panjiayuan see outsiders who are going to the death pit, and it is not uncommon for a few dollars to sell for tens of thousands...
Of course, Lin Cheng himself also has two brushes, and his eyesight and knowledge are a little higher than those of these vendors, so that these antique dealers dare not pit him, and at the same time, he can also find some small things every once in a while, and he will not worry about eating and drinking when he sells them.
Squatting in front of Xu Laohei's stall, Lin Cheng took a look at it, and there were dozens of various things on the one-meter-long and wide thick cloth, most of which were small porcelain, and there were even several clay pots that were used to pickle pickles at a glance.
"Uncle Xu, next time you finish collecting things at someone's house, you have to make a little fuss, it's not easy to fool people," Lin Cheng said helplessly.
"Hey, hey, isn't it in a hurry, come early to occupy a good position, maybe you can open a show, don't you know, uncle hasn't opened for a week, and now people are thieves and thieves, most of them just look at it and don't buy it, and they also come to feel the cultural atmosphere of the antique market"!
Lin Cheng shook his head and stopped talking, carefully observing the antiques on the stall, his body trembled violently when the corner of his eyes swept to a corner of the edge of the thick cloth, and he reached out from his jacket pocket to take out the unknown nine-story pagoda that had just been retrieved from Sister Chen's side.
This nine-story pagoda doesn't look at him as having nine layers, but it is only the size of two fingers, and it is rusty on it, like an iron product, what Lin Chen can't see through is that this pagoda looks very heavy, but it is as light as a feather in his hand, and there is no payment and decoration, and when he asked Sister Chen, she said that she picked it up in a broken Taoist temple on a mountain, because it looked like it was very old, so she picked it up as an antique.
Lin Cheng usually likes to delve into these strange gadgets, so he spent a hundred yuan to buy them and prepare to go back to study and recreation, who knew that when his eyes swept over a corner of Xu Laohei's stall just now, the pagoda actually shook, which made him very curious, Lin Cheng approached the corner, and saw a square dark stone pressed against a thick cloth, and a pressed cloth stone caused the vibration of this nine-story tower?
Quietly picking up a miniature wood carving on the stall, Lin Cheng said to Xu Laohei: Uncle Xu, how much is this wood carving, I look at the carver is okay, please go home as an ornament, I will open it for you.
"Hey, it's still your kid who is sensible, and my uncle likes you, so let's take one hundred and eight, and ask for a good omen!"
That line, Lin Cheng happily took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and counted out one hundred and eight and handed it to Xu Laohei, then turned around and pretended to leave, but just turned around and turned back to Xu Laohei with a smile and asked: Uncle Xu, do you have a square stone here? I thought that this wood carving still lacks a base, and it is not worth much anyway, just find a stone to cushion.
"Hey, blue and white porcelain and bronze are hard to find, this little stone is not everywhere, slave, Xu Laohei pointed at the stone that Lin Cheng fancied with his big hand, you can take the stone pressed on the stall, uncle, it is square, just like tailor-made."
Lin Cheng nodded, and said as if satisfied: That's okay, then I'll take it.
Putting the dark stone and the nine-story pagoda into his pocket, Lin Cheng turned around and left the Pan family with the wood carving.
Returning to the small one-bedroom house rented next to Pan Jiayuan, Lin Cheng closed the door and sat on the only mahogany chair in the living room that he had retrieved from Pan Jiayuan before, put the wood carving next to him at will, and then prepared to take out the nine-story pagoda and the dark stone from his pocket, and took out Lin Cheng's face changed, only to see that he only took out a nine-story pagoda the size of a two-finger belly in his hand, and the stone was gone, he lowered his head and rummaged through his pocket, and it didn't look like it was broken, and it was impossible to fall off if he walked slowly on the road, Lin Cheng was puzzled!
And when Lin Cheng was thinking, the nine-story pagoda he was holding in his hand suddenly vibrate, and the amplitude became bigger and bigger, and just when Lin Cheng came back to his senses, he found that the pagoda in his hand had risen into the air and floated in mid-air.
The pagoda continued to vibrate and rotate in the air, faster and faster, faster and faster, Lin Cheng's eyes could only see a black light circulating, and he didn't know how long it had been turning, only to hear an explosion, all around was black powder drifting, and the nine-story pagoda rotating in the air emitted a strong golden light like a washed lead bloom and flew to the top of Lin Cheng's head, slowly landing under Lin Cheng's stunned expression, and when it fell to Lin Cheng's heavenly spirit cover, it seemed to disappear through a layer of water waves, and Lin Cheng also fainted on the ground after the nine-story pagoda entered his head。
After a long time, Lin Cheng, who was unconscious, was wrapped in a layer of golden light and disappeared in place...
