the last priest

In the early morning of the next day, a visitor came to the house, the person who came was the same Uncle Chang from yesterday, and Su Su stood behind her arm holding a middle-aged man.The man was about the same height as Dashan, but he was well-proportioned. He was wearing a black cardigan with a stand-up collar, shiny leather shoes, and looked like a businessman.His skin was slightly pale, and the years hadn't left any marks on his face, but his eyes were full of sharpness, this is the so-called experience.

The man has a jade finger on the thumb of his left hand, and his right hand often turns it. When he sees Cha Wenbin, he just smiles and nods. After taking the tea made by Hetu, he just puts it aside, but he takes out one from the Susu bag. The thermos teacup drank on its own.

Chaozi had a bad temper, so he was naturally a little annoyed when he saw that the visitor was putting on such a show, but seeing that Cha Wenbin was still calm, he didn't want to point it out, he just wanted to play tricks on this man behind his back.His mind was spinning fast, the pot was still rolling with the freshly cooked gruel, he filled a bowl full and pretended to bring it over. The gruel was spilled immediately.

Seeing that the gruel was about to splash on the man's back, unexpectedly the man stood up suddenly and leaned forward, the spilled gruel fell on the ground through his back.

Zha Wenbin has been staring at the boy, and seeing the smirk on his face as he walks over, he can't make a guess, but the man's figure is really fast, as if he has eyes behind his back. The inadvertent movement just escaped like this.With just this hand, this man is not easy. He was afraid that Chaozi would provoke him again, so he immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Go to the side for dinner, and I don't even know how to be polite."

The man smiled back at Cha Wenbin, and withdrew his hand that was originally on the table, and a beautifully shaped box appeared.The golden box was as big as a palm, with four red, green, white, and black gemstones inlaid on the outside, and a yellow gemstone on the top of the middle, which was as big as a fingernail. It looked extraordinary at first glance.

"My lord Tang Yuanshan, it is indeed a bit abrupt to visit Mr. Zha today. A small gift is not considered a respect. I hope you will accept it."

Cha Wenbin glanced at Chaozi again, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and said, "Mr. Tang, you are too polite. Someone Cha is just a farmer. I can't stand it. Please take it back."

The man looked at Zha Wenbin quite playfully and said, "I think it's better to wait for Mr. Zha to open it first."

"Oh?" Cha Wenbin glanced at the man, "If that's the case, then take a look." Then he picked up the box and gently opened the lock. Inside the box was something wrapped in a yellow brocade handkerchief. , and then opened the brocade handkerchief, it turned out to be a mirror.

It's really strange that Chaozi is thinking of you behind with half a bowl of porridge. My brother Wenbin is an old bachelor, and you give away the whole mirror.But thinking about the box is a rare item, the things in it can't be worse than the box, so he raised his head and looked up, good guy, Chaozi immediately gasped, this mirror is definitely not ordinary Taste!If you put it on the market, both the appearance and the shape are top-notch, at least he has never seen such an exquisite bronze mirror in his hands, this guy is really generous when he makes a move.

It was a palm-sized bronze mirror. It was not a modern object at first glance. I have seen this bronze mirror too many times. There are a few in any shop on the Antique Street, but most of them are worthless.But this mirror is different, he looks at it from this distance, the surface of the mirror is polished and shiny, not to mention any flaws, it is almost clearer than modern glass mirrors.

Zha Wenbin turned over the mirror, and on the back was engraved a picture of Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams, a Yinglong was circling the Eight Diagrams picture, its wings raised and lowered just to enclose the picture. .This Yinglong looked at Cha Wenbin and his heart tightened. No one knew the meaning of this thing better than him. After encountering this only dragon with wings several times, he had a premonition in his heart and secretly warned himself not to... Take this muddy water.

Wrapping the mirror again and putting it in the box, Zha Wenbin pushed it to the man again and said with a smile: "Such a generous gift is even more unacceptable, please take it away, Mr. Tang."

The man had already held down one end of the box before Zha Wenbin made a move. He said, "Mr. Cha, this is specially prepared for you. Only a gentleman can use it."

Cha Wenbin said with a smile: "I'm afraid it cost you a lot to get this thing, so it's better to take it back." The box froze like this.

When the two of them were in such a stalemate, a big hand descended from the sky and held down the box, only to hear Chaozi say: "Since you don't want it, then I will!" Chaozi lifted the box up, but saw that The man also pressed down his hand and said, "Little brother, you can't lift this thing."

"Why can't you hold it?" Chaozi pointed to Dashan and said to him, "You want to compete with me, don't you? How about replacing him?"

Cha Wenbin shouted to Chaozi: "Put it down! All of you go out."

"Go out and go out. If you really don't want it, leave it to me. They didn't know how much money they cheated on me last time."

There were only the two of them left in the room, and Cha Wenbin let go of the box and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Do me a favor and move a grave for me."

"Move the grave? With your handwriting, why do you need to come to me for this matter?"

The man smiled and said, "It's up to you."

"What grave?"

"An old grave."

"I don't care about yin and yang anymore, Mr. Tang should go and hire someone else."

Tang Yuanshan reached into his arms, took out a photo, and gently handed it to Cha Wenbin, "Look at this first."

It was a black and white roll photo, it should be some years old, some parts are starting to turn yellow, the outside of the photo is now covered with a protective film, which is enough to show that the owner of the photo takes it seriously.

There are two men in the photo, one of them is dressed as a Taoist priest, and the other man is somewhat similar to Tang Yuanshan, and the Taoist priest is [-]% similar to Cha Wenbin. If the photo can be clearer, this [-]% is probably the same will be ten.

"This photo is a group photo of my great-grandfather and a tall man more than 100 years ago. The place where they are standing is the place where I want to invite Mr. Zha to go."

Cha Wenbin also pushed the photo back and said: "What can an old photo explain? There are too many people who look alike in this world."

"Yeah, at first I thought it was just a coincidence. This photo was taken by a cameraman of the imperial court at that time. Their purpose was to find a continuation of the dragon vein for the Qing Dynasty. This mirror was the only thing they left behind. According to my great-grandmother’s recollection, it was found by my great-grandfather as a gift to this expert. To be honest, Mr. Cha, I am proficient in antiquities, and I have also dabbled in Taoist culture. This Yinglong Eight Diagrams Mirror has its source. I know a little bit about it."

Zha Wenbin smiled and said: "The companion of Zhang Daoling, the celestial master, that's why I said I can't bear it."

"Okay, then you can look at one more thing, please follow me." After finishing speaking, Tang Yuanshan got up to go out. The box containing the gossip mirror was not taken away, but Zha Wenbin still took it away after taking a look. He put his hands in his hands and walked out with him.

Outside the house is Tang Yuanshan's car, a high-end black imported car. There is a safe in the trunk of the car. Open the safe and inside is a long brocade box. Tang Yuanshan opens the brocade box and carefully pulls out a portrait from it and spreads it out .

"Mr. Cha, please take a look!"

I saw that the portrait was about one meter long after it was fully unfolded. In the painting, there was a person with a long sword on his back, holding a gossip mirror in one hand and an evil spirit bell in the other, and trampled a vicious glutton under his feet.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Wenbin!" "It seems to be, Brother Wenbin, it looks like you."

Cha Wenbin winked and said, "Chaozi."

Chaozi immediately went to the side of the painting scroll and looked at it carefully. After some inspection, he said with certainty: "It's been a few years, at least about 300 years old. Rice paper, a bit like a court painting."

"Mr. He has good eyesight. This painting is also from our ancestors. There used to be court painters in our ancestors. This painting is a family heirloom of my Tang family, but the characters in the painting are not from that era. Do you think it is strange?"

Chaozi didn't make a joke this time, but just asked: "Why do you think you are not from that era?"

"Didn't you see that there are two people behind this portrait? The painting is a distant view. If you look carefully with a magnifying glass, the two people are indeed holding modern guns. They are fake AK series. This kind of gun is no more than the Soviets. It was only invented in the 50s, how could the ancients know about it more than 300 years ago?"

Chaozi was a little suspicious: "Really?"

"Really! If you don't believe me, Mr. He can give it a try."

"Okay!" Chaozi went back to the house without saying a word. He had plenty of archaeological magnifying glasses, so he hurried back to take a picture after taking it. He was so shocked that he was almost speechless: "My God, This person seems to be me!"
