World Tibet Bureau

That night.

I dreamed of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing seemed to be sitting on the edge of my bed, gently holding my hand, with an extremely anxious expression, as if she was about to cry: "Little brother, why are you so disobedient? Don't do anything, you won't be able to go home if you do." !"

I said to her: "Sister, stop talking, she killed you so cruelly, I swore to avenge you."

Followed by.

Suddenly woke up from the dream.

Very strange.

After Xu Qing died, I never dreamed of her.

This is the first time.

Daylight the next day.

In order to let myself get rid of those messy thoughts, I simply went to the stall market.

It rained continuously for several days.

The water in the Huangpu River has risen and turned yellow.

However, the air is very fresh after the rain.

Walking around in the market, many people pulled me and told me to look good.

People in the industry often compare the domestic antique industry to a dragon. There is a saying that "one head, two eyes, one gall and five claws, the dragon soars towards the sea".

One dragon head refers specifically to Kyoto.

Shuanglongyan is from Zhengshi City, Henan Province and Xishi City, Shaanxi Province.

One gentian is Jinling.

The five dragon claws are Hangzhou City, Cheng City, Wu City, Ji City, and Wulu City.

The sea is the capital of magic.

The status of the magic city in the antique market is not high, but the economy here is developed and the sales volume is large. Antiques from all over the country gather in the magic city, showing the trend of dragons roaming the sea.

Especially for foreign films, there is no such thing as a magic capital in China.

This is also the main reason why the old manager regards Modu as the important city of his antique kingdom.

If the card point of Modu is removed.

The old manager probably won't be able to sleep.

You may be curious about Ulu City among the Five Dragon Claws.

The economy of this place is underdeveloped, and there are not many antiques, but it has always been the center of antiques in the Western Regions. As one of the five dragon claws, there are two important reasons. Whenever a treasure is unearthed, it is almost a heavy treasure, and the value is relatively high.

In the market, I saw a dusty inkstone.

This is the dragon tail inkstone.

Longwei inkstone is actually also called She inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones.

It is named after the place of production in the stream under Longwei Mountain (Luowen Mountain) at the junction of Wuyuan and Shexian County.

Many literati in history liked Longwei Inkstone.

Su Dongpo once rated it as "astringent without leaving a brush, smooth without rejecting ink, melon skin with smoothness, golden sound with jade virtue."

The material of the inkstone in front of me is good, but the carving work is average, and there is a small missing corner on the side.

The chipping does not look like bump formation.

It seems that it was scrapped during the carving process.

The key is.

There is a small poem on the top.

The old woodcutter lies on the white clouds, but Xiu Ke does not use an axe.

Pick up Taishan pine with a smile, and Liang's father under the pillar.

Signed as "Shang Zuosheng".

The main value of collecting inkstones is whether they are celebrity inkstones.

Even if the inkstone is average, if you say that this thing was used by Tang Bohu, it will be worth tens of thousands of gold.But if it is not used by celebrities, no matter how good the texture is, it will actually be sold at its own price.

Seeing me staring at the inkstone, the stall owner raised his head and asked, "Brother, do you like this inkstone?"

I nodded: "How to sell?"

The stall owner scratched his head: "Longwei Inkstone, the corners are missing after receiving it, so don't bargain, can you give me [-]?"

The market value of this thing is at least 80 million.

The words "Shang Zuosheng" above Gein.

Few people know who Shang Zuosheng is.

But if you mention the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou, everyone is familiar with it.

In fact, Shang Zuosheng is one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, Gao Fenghan, a famous calligrapher and painter in the Qing Dynasty.

At the age of 55, Gao Fenghan began to write calligraphy and painting with his left hand because of a diseased right hand, and named himself Shang Zuosheng.

After writing with his left hand, he formed a unique, spicy and ancient official script calligraphy style, which enjoys a high status in the world of calligraphy and painting.

He also has a hobby, like collecting inkstones and carving inkstones. It is said that he has collected more than a thousand squares of inkstones in his life, and he also wrote the book "History of Inkstones".

When Sister Jiu'er taught me, she didn't ask me to memorize too many poems of famous people, but she asked me to memorize nicknames, nicknames, quirks and anecdotes of famous people by force.

Now it seems that she is really smart to the extreme.

Those with inscriptions or seals of famous people's real names have already been collected by people, and it is often these unrecognized things that are left behind in the world like pearls.

The texture of this Fanglongwei inkstone is very good, but the carving is missing a corner.

I can even guess that this is an inkstone carved by Gao Fenghan himself, and it was lost in the world. It is very likely that after his right hand became ill, it was inconvenient to carve with his left hand and broke it.

Otherwise, with his carving skills, such a situation would not occur.

In the past, literati or master craftsmen had a very distinctive feature. They usually threw away or smashed waste calligraphy and paintings, failed porcelains, or things that were liked at the time but were not pleasing to the eye later.

this kind of stuff.

In the antique industry, it is called "immortal covering face".

It means that the fairy has pimples on his face, and he is embarrassed to see people, so he covers his face with his sleeve.

A very interesting metaphor.

Don't underestimate the fairy covering your face.

These things are sometimes worth more than complete antiques.

Because the works of celebrities covering their faces are too scarce.

I replied: "The carving is useless."

The stall owner said: "That's why I only opened 1 yuan. I don't know. People have seen it before and said that the quality of this dragon tail inkstone is very good. If the small horn is not carved, it will cost at least [-] yuan to start!"

I still say the same thing: "The carving is useless."

The stall owner was speechless: "... give me one thousand, and take nine thousand away?"

"It's ruined."

"It's a repeater, isn't it? Old carvings are useless, there is no perfect antique, and Venus's arms are missing, isn't that also a world-famous statue!"

"It's ruined."

"..."

After he explained it seven or eight times, and I repeated it seven or eight times in a row, it was useless.

The stall owner finally became furious, and stuffed the square inkstone into my hand: "Take away the three thousand! If you say those three words again, I'm afraid I'm going to beat someone up, so don't come here in the future! I'm so pissed off!"

I paid 3000 yuan and took the inkstone away.

I am planning to sell Tongyue antiques to Yan Xiaoyue.

Hit her hard.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

After leaving the market, I went to a department store and bought a telescope with strong infrared night vision function, a high-gloss flashlight imported from abroad, and a map of Shanghai.

The owner of the flashlight told me that this thing must not be pointed at people's eyes, it will easily light up for ten seconds.

This high-gloss flashlight is brighter than the LED headlights of today's cars. It is generally used in large-scale mines. It was considered a rare commodity from abroad in those days.However, it is no longer allowed to use it. Normally, searchlights with relatively soft light are used when going down the mine.

With these few things, as long as Lu Xiaoxin goes after the mad bugs as planned, that's enough.

By evening.

Xia Xi told me the news.

They are the location of the treasure appreciation meeting and the place where the lunatics are held.

I took the map and drew a line on it.

Went out and rented a super-performance sports car.

I drove the car alone and came to the bridge.

The location where the lunatics are controlled is the suburbs.

If the lunatic wants to escape, he must drive a car and pass this bridge.

Because after crossing the bridge, there are highways, national highways, country trails...

If he goes in the opposite direction, the road is being built at the other end, and there is no way for him to escape.

The location of the treasure appreciation meeting is only two or three kilometers away from the place where the lunatics are imprisoned.

Lu Xiaoxin had to pass this bridge if he wanted to chase the mad bug.

of course.

Even if there is a sudden change in the middle, the route is changed.

I'm not worried either.

Because Xia Xi knew exactly where Lu Xiaoxin was chasing her.

My location is not too far away.

As long as she comes out.

With the speed of this sports car, it is absolutely impossible for her to fly.
