Volume 1: The Emperor of Heaven Collapsed Mountains and Rivers Shattered, Wen Run's Young Man Asked the Immortal for the First Time Chapter 63 Identifying the Fake
"If this mirror is genuine, it must be a black lacquer ancient dragon pattern mirror of the Tang Dynasty. But whether it's genuine or not, my eyesight is limited, and I have to ask Zhou Lao for advice!"
As soon as Qian Yang's voice fell, Zhou Lao and Song Yi were stunned.
Zhou Lao pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Xiaoyou's talent in antique appraisal really makes the old man feel ashamed, this 'black lacquer ancient' three words, the old man is still the first time to hear of it, and the Tang Dynasty mirror is a copper and tin alloy said, so that the old man suddenly has a feeling of opening up." ”
"Old Zhou is too famous!" Qian Yang didn't dare to say.
Song Yi took over the conversation with a smile: "Song Mou's eyesight is really not bad, I don't want to be able to find this treasure of Taoist friends among thousands of people!"
Zhou Lao chuckled and received: "The old man was still doubtful about the authenticity of this mirror, but when he heard Xiaoyou's words, he suddenly became enlightened. Little friends don't have to be polite, it's good to say whether it's true or not!"
"Huh?" Qian Yang was stunned, in his memory, there was a bronze mirror very similar to the one in front of him in a certain episode of the TV program, and it was naturally no problem for him to tell the source according to the script, but to identify the authenticity? Just kidding? What else did you say, "Listen to my words and suddenly open up"? What did I say? I don't even know what I said!
Qian Yang was apprehensive in his heart, but his face was silent, once he showed his timidity, he would be embarrassed, and if he caused a misunderstanding, it would be extremely unbeautiful. He hurriedly flipped through the information again, and carefully recalled that there were clues in what he had just said.
Suddenly, Qian Yang's eyes lit up!
Copper-tin alloy!
A smile appeared on Qian Yang's face. The breakthrough is here!
"If there is no accident, this mirror must be a forgery. Qian Yang opened his mouth with confidence.
"Indeed, after listening to Xiaoyou's explanation, think about this mirror, there is nothing to be desired!" Zhou Lao smiled and nodded.
Song Yi also spoke: "Such a beautiful bronze mirror is indeed not like the burial goods of ordinary poor people, but it is also consistent with our previous speculation, this bronze mirror must be a fake obtained by Lu Tian from some unknown source!"
Zhou Lao casually removed the soundproof shield, and at this time, there were still a few scattered soundproof shields standing there in the house, thinking that the communication between those people had not yet ended.
Qian Yang finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and this level was passed. Even if he can't understand all the things after thinking about it, he can barely complete the task with the performance just now!
Qian Yangshi made the judgment that the mirror was fake, but the reason was simple.
If the mirror surface is a copper-tin alloy, its density should naturally be between copper and tin. When Qianyang was in junior high school, he was a good boy with excellent character and learning, and the density of common metals naturally couldn't help him, the density of tin was 7.3, and the density of copper was 8.9. The density of copper-tin alloy should be between 7.3 and 8.9.
I haven't really touched a large piece of copper and tin Qianyang, so I can't say what it should feel like to hold it in my hand, but large pieces of iron are very common. The density of iron is 7.9, and the density of copper-tin alloy is 7.3-8.9.
Qian Yang checked the mirror just now, and he could clearly feel that the weight of the mirror was about half lighter than that of iron of the same size, which proved that this mirror was definitely not made of copper-tin alloy.
It does not conform to the production process of the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror, but it is engraved with a dragon pattern in the style of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Qian Yang boldly speculated that this bronze mirror must be a fake, and the person who made the fraud must have taken pictures of cats and tigers according to pictures that came from nowhere, and did not know its material.
After crossing a pass, Qian Yang also put down his burden and watched the excitement with a relaxed mood.
Seeing that the soundproof shield in the room had been lowered, Lu Tian also opened his mouth with a smile: "Before coming, Uncle Shi explained that this bronze mirror has 6,000 spirit stones, and interested Taoists can bid." ”
Six thousand spirit stones!
The price set the tone for the bronze mirror quite clearly: it was an item for the monks of the foundation period!
As we all know, the greatest role of prehistoric antiques is to break through the bottlenecks of monks. For a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, an antique worth three hundred spirit stones was enough to break through the bottleneck of the third layer of Qi refining. The value of the antique required to break through the bottleneck of the seventh layer of qi refining should be around a thousand spirit stones. Breaking through to the foundation building period requires antiques worth about 5,000 spirit stones.
The value of prehistoric antiques is determined by the content of the aura in them, but for monks, it is not possible to buy suitable antiques with spirit stones.
Prehistoric antiques have been in a state of price for a long time, and the scarcity of antiques is the main reason, and the flood of fakes in the market has also increased the difficulty for monks to buy prehistoric antiques. For example, Song Yi a few days ago, as a Shaodong of a store, when he encountered a bottleneck, he had nothing suitable for a breakthrough at hand. The rarity of prehistoric antiques can be seen from this.
Since the Qi refining period monks only need about 5,000 spirit stones to break through to the foundation building of prehistoric antiques, then regardless of the authenticity of this bronze mirror for the time being, the reserve price of 6,000 is naturally to be sold to the foundation building period monks.
Qian Yang thinks this reserve price is a bit interesting. He once roughly estimated the price ratio of the coins in the previous life and the current spirit stones, for example, Yuan Datou, who was worth a few hundred yuan in the previous life, is now worth one or two hundred spirit stones, and the beeswax beads that were worth three thousand yuan in the previous life are now worth more than a thousand spirit stones, which means that the exchange ratio between the coins in the previous life and the current spirit stones is about 3:1. Counting his pennies worth more than 1,000 yuan in his previous life, he couldn't escape this price ratio.
The bronze mirror in his mind from his previous life was genuine, estimated at about 80,000 yuan. In this way, if the bronze mirror in front of you is genuine, the value should be between two and thirty thousand spirit stones.
Now Lu Tian has opened a reserve price of six thousand spirit stones, but it leaves a lot of price space for those who want to pick up the leaks, if someone has a fluke mentality, this level of return is really worth gambling on six thousand spirit stones.
Sure enough, an ordinary-looking monk made a bid: "Six thousand spirit stones!"
The scene was very quiet for a while, and the monk's expression seemed to be a little tangled, and if no one fought with him, he didn't know whether to be happy or regret to speak.
"Six thousand one hundred spirit stones!" a monk in a black cloak added one hundred spirit stones.
The second person opened his mouth, and suddenly several people temporarily put aside the doubts in their hearts and opened their mouths to ask for the price, and the price of the bronze mirror reached eight thousand spirit stones in the blink of an eye.
Lu Tian always looked at people with a smile on his face behind the long table, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
When the price reached nine thousand spirit stones, the sound of the price suddenly fell down. This price has forced the merchants present to start thinking about the expected return after combining risk and reward.
Although most of the bronze mirrors they get are also for sale, the risk can be passed on to others. But if a store has a bad reputation because of a few spirit stones, it is worth the loss.
In the end, the black-cloaked monk who made the second offer took the bronze mirror for the price of nine thousand three hundred spirit stones, and it seemed that he was quite confident in it. He stepped forward and handed over the spirit stone, and then took the bronze mirror into his arms.
Lu Tian made the final decision, and then without stopping, he took out a second lot.
