It was two o'clock in the afternoon when she woke up. The sun was warm.
The few of them left Dongsi and walked along the streets, making many turns before arriving at Lord Hu's residence. This was a flat shop. Although the door was small, there was a room behind it. It was quite big.
Master Hu took out a bunch of keys and opened the old-fashioned anti-theft door. Then, he opened two more locks.
"Ha, I say, Master Hu, you're really well-guarded!”Ye Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, it's a small business. I've spent a lot of effort to get all of this. I can't lose it…"
The door opened and Master Hu led the three of them into the house.
Although it wasn't big, it was filled with all kinds of antiques and jade pieces. There were even a few stone statues squatting in the corner.
" Quite a collection…" Jun Zi could not help but look around curiously.
"Come, sit! "Take a look around. Oh right, I have something to give you…" As he spoke, Master Hu pulled open a large closet and looked around.
"Here, give it to me! " Please take a look…" Lord Hu took out a brocade box and took out three black pendants. He gave them to Li Xun, Ye Yuan, and Jun Zi respectively. Then, he sat on the chair and did not say anything else, revealing a faint smile.
Ye Yuan looked at his expression and thought that this should be Lord Hu's final test for the few of them. They had drunk the wine and chatted, but caution was the best way to sail. Lord Hu had been doing business for so many years and had developed a stable personality. He never did things that he was not confident in.
This thing was a hook-like object, about an inch long. It was black and shiny, and extremely hard. There were also two seal characters carved on it. From the shape, it looked like the words "Touching Gold".
Ye Yuan touched the ancient patterns on it, thinking that this was the gold-touching talisman.
As an ordinary person in the past, this was the first time he had come into contact with the things in this novel. In the past, he could only say that it was a fantasy. He did not expect it to really come true today. He was a little excited.
However…
Ye Yuan, who had extraordinary experience, could roughly guess that this was probably an imitation by feeling it.
This thing was extremely secretive in this world. Not everyone had it, and most grave robbers had never seen it. The value of the talisman itself was not considered valuable. If it fell to the ground, it might not even be bothered to pick it up. However, to the tomb raiders who had been passed down from generation to generation, it was a priceless treasure. It symbolized a kind of seniority.
The real golden talismans were usually antiques passed down from the Later Han Dynasty. They were made from the sharpest claws of pangolins and were slightly transparent like black crystals. There was a circle of gold thread at the base of the claws, and the whole body was engraved with flying tiger patterns to ward off evil. It was as famous as the black donkey hoof in the tomb raiders. It was rumored that it really had the magical effect of warding off evil. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was not comparable to the antique modern artwork in Ye Yuan's hand.
However, at this moment, Ye Yuan did not need to say it out loud.
"What is this?" Jun Zi couldn't figure it out for a long time and asked Li Xun softly.
Li Xun raised his head and looked at Lord Hu.""Golden Talisman."
"Yes, the Golden Talisman. Chief Li is right!”Lord Hu clapped his hands.
"At the dining table just now, I've also familiarized myself with Chief Li's Feng Shui secret technique. That's real gold, real gold, and it can't be faked at all! As for Ye Ye, he is also very capable. This morning, when he stomped on the ground and shattered it, it scared my heart!”
Lord Hu stood up and looked at the two of them.
"In my opinion, the two of you have your own strengths. If you help each other, where can you not go in the world? It would be a pity if he didn't become a gold-looting captain!”
Jun Zi was also very excited when he heard this. He swallowed his saliva and quickly looked at Li Xun. He was mainly concerned about the treasures in the tomb.
" Touch gold, touch gold. If you don't touch gold, it's very likely that you'll die…"
Li Xun sighed, sat down, and told him frankly.
"Actually, I really don't have any experience in this matter. It's all taught in the secret art of Feng Shui that I learned at home when I was young. It's passed down from my grandfather's generation. To be honest, he was indeed a gold-hunting captain back then. In the end, he met a big dumpling and almost lost his life.”
Li Xun shook his head." So, I don't intend to do such a wicked thing!"”
When Lord Hu heard this, he became anxious and quickly said,"I didn't ask you to fight back! I'll let you go down and collect some things and sell them as you please. After all, I respect people like you very much now!
In this world, the history was slightly different. After the Qing Dynasty, it was the government army that overthrew the Qing army and established the Republic of China. In some aspects, for example, zombies and dumplings really existed, so Taoists and the like were very popular. However, the status of the gold-looting lieutenant was not low.
Lord Hu saw that Li Xun wasn't tempted and rolled his eyes." Please take a seat."”
He turned around and went into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a bowl and gently placed it in front of Li Xun."Chief Li, take a look!"
Li Xun took it and flipped through it. Actually, he was just looking blindly. One line was another line. He did not have the ability to appreciate it.
"Do you know how much the bowl in your hand costs?”
"How much?" Jun Zi asked.
Lord Hu mysteriously extended three fingers.
"Three hundred?"
Lord Hu smiled and shook his head.
"Three thousand?"
He continued to shake his head.
" Could it be…ten thousand?!" Jun Zi gasped in shock. Li Xun was also a little surprised and looked up at him.
"From the Wanli era." Lord Hu knew what was going on. He gently took the porcelain bowl from Li Xun's hand and carefully placed it in the box.
Ye Yuan suddenly understood.
Looking at it from the side, he saw that the bottom of the bowl indeed had the inscription "Made during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty". The overall glaze was smooth and thick, so it should be real.
However, it was true.
Jun Zi and Li Xun couldn't be blamed for being surprised.
In this era, ordinary people would not understand that a bowl could be worth so much money. It was simply unbelievable. However, Ye Yuan knew that the value of this blue and white porcelain bowl could be even higher in the future market. He remembered that he had seen a blue and white porcelain pot made of red material and double phoenix from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty auctioned off for more than 120 million yuan. It could be said to be a sky-high price, making people click their tongues.
At this moment, Lord Hu stood up.
"Guys, look at this! Do you know what price someone is offering him now?”Lord Hu pointed at a cloud pattern stone statue in the corner.
This time, Jun Zi learned his lesson and only looked at him.
"Seven!"
Junzi swallowed his saliva and said,"Ten thousand again?"”
Lord Hu nodded." They're from Western Zhou. Look, I collected all these!"”
Jun Zi turned his head with difficulty and looked at Li Xun with a face full of desire.""Good fellow…Damn, you're really powerful!”The meaning in his gaze was unclear.
Li Xun frowned.
"To be honest, I've been a soldier for ten years. I'm not willing to dig graves at all! Even if Junzi's father knew about this, he would jump out of his grave and whip him to death.”
" This..." Lord Hu's tone paused." Lord Ye, Brother Junzi..."
He looked at the two of them.
Through simple contact, Ye Yuan knew that money was not the most important thing to Li Xun. It could be said that he did not care much about money. Just from the time he reported those numbers to Master Hu, it could be clearly seen. However, life was always full of contradictions, and now he needed money too much.
Ye Yuan, who had read Li Xun's information, knew that many of Li Xun's brothers had died on the battlefield.
He cared a lot about his dead brothers. He valued friendship and loyalty, and he always felt that he owed them a lot.
Hence, after thinking for a while, he said to Li Xun,"Big Brother Li, I think Master Hu's words are not without reason." Big Brother Li, you were a soldier. Your parents died young, and you don't have a family to support you. You can eat your fill and your family won't be hungry.”
"But what about your brothers who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield? Who will take care of their parents? The cost of medical treatment and medicine, as well as the tuition fees for their younger brother and sister's school, was not enough for them to live on! Don't you think so?"
When Li Xun heard this, his body trembled slightly.
