My years as a fortune teller

Jin Nantian and I successfully entered Shang Jie's group, and at the same time successfully avoided my senior brother.Although he has been praising me, it can be seen from his eyes that from the bottom of his heart, my brother either trusts me or Ruan Shijie.Of course, my senior brother is just one of them, and it should be said that Master Xiao doesn't trust him too much.Maybe it was Brother Shangjie, who was more or less distrustful.

In fact, I can understand this point.After all, Ruan Shijie has been missing for too long, and outsiders rarely know his information.Unlike Jin Nantian, even if he disappeared.But many people, especially those who are on the way, can still find him.

After Jin Nantian disappeared for a day, Ruan Shijie also appeared.But the problem lies in the place where Jin Nantian disappeared, in a vast area of ​​Mang Mountain.And if Ruan Shijie, who is relatively young and likes to enjoy life, hides in the mountains of Mangshan, this is somewhat unreasonable and almost impossible.

So if it was someone like me, I might be a little more suspicious.So if you want to gain a firm foothold without being suspected, you must first use the thinking of a professional grave robber to win their trust.

But I have never been a tomb robber for a day. The only time I went to a large tomb was to save someone, and the road ahead had already been explored, so that time was not considered a tomb robber at all.

So the thinking of a professional grave robber is quite difficult for me.The only good thing is that I know a lot about what happened this time.Maybe in some respects, he knows more than the brothers of the Shang family.

So I want to use this method to take the initiative, although I don't know if it is possible.But you can only know if you try it. This is the same as guessing the size in gambling.It's just that Jin Nantian and I are betting on our lives.

In Shang Jie's narration, although I was unhappy because I interrupted his narration twice.But I secretly saw that the rest of the people were staring at me very seriously.And this kind of atmosphere is somewhat like the many examiners encountered during the interview.

And Jin Nantian not only didn't stop me, but also helped me explain the truth and encouraged me secretly.Therefore, I knew very well in my heart that doing so should be effective. Not only could I get more words from Shang Jie, but it might also make them believe me more.

Shangzhi's triangular eyes, like poisonous snakes, hardly left my face.I guess this kid has studied psychology, so he hopes to discover and make judgments through some tiny details.

And I am most afraid of these people, because I have a lot of small movements.A small move at any time may completely betray me.Especially my senior brother is also here, after all he knows me too well.

But I can't deliberately change, because even a small change of mine can betray me.So I can't hide anything, I can only do my best to follow my current thinking.If you hide yourself too much, it will attract the attention of others.No one here is easy to mess with, and a single mistake can ruin the whole thing.

However, just when I felt that I was about to gain the upper hand, suddenly a powerful aura pressed over from behind me.Although Shangzhi also stood up at this time, I could feel that the danger came not from his side, but from behind me.Is there another powerful person who didn't show up at the scene?

Although I thought so, I dared not look back at all.He just smiled faintly and said to Shang Jie: "Mr. Shang, don't worry, we are just discussing. If these things can't be clarified, we will find nothing this time when we go to find the tomb. As you said, we will use a lot of advanced equipment None of them were found. If we don’t understand clearly, hehe, we will return without success, which is something none of us want to see.”

Shangren stood up to smooth things over and said: "Mr. Ruan, no, what Lao Ruan said makes sense. Xiaojie, you should listen to different opinions more and look at the problem here comprehensively. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket. Money is a trivial matter, and it will be difficult to bother you in the future."

There is something in these words, both Jin Nantian and I can hear it.But it's hard to justify now, after all, we've only come here for the first day, and we haven't gained a firm foothold here yet, so too many justifications will make them suspicious.

So I looked at the painting and said with a blank face: "These five paintings are all painted on silk. Although rice paper began in the Tang Dynasty, the technology was not perfect at that time, so few people used rice paper to paint. In the Yuan Dynasty In the beginning, the technology of rice paper improved and paintings began to be made on it. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the peaks of using rice paper. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for you to set these five paintings in the Song Dynasty."

At this point, I looked at them with a smile, and continued: "But don't forget, the characters on this are all dressed up by Taoists. Before Sui, most of them were paintings for Buddhists, and there were very few Taoist figures. From the Sui Dynasty At the beginning, while painting continued the tradition of the Six Dynasties, it began to paint Taoist gods. But it was not until the early Tang Dynasty that Taoist figures began to become popular. But one thing must not be forgotten, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, most of them were ladies. And the A group of figure painters headed by Wu Daozi appeared, paying more attention to detail description. Didn’t Wu take the lead? That is to say, at this time, the details of the figures are dealt with. And the paintings we see now, you can see for yourself , the lines are rough, and the expressions of the characters are uneven but slightly rigid, so I think this painting should be from the Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. It should be decades earlier than Yan Liben's "Picture of Walking Chariots", otherwise the expressions of the characters would not be so rigid."

As soon as my painting was finished, I heard a burst of clapping from behind.I looked back and saw an old man with silver hair in a stand-up collar, holding a pipe in his hand and being pushed in by someone in a wheelchair.

And the moment he appeared, that very powerful aura reappeared.I took a sneak peek, not only the brothers from the Shang family had their hands down, but even my senior brother and the others.It seems that this old man must be the real man behind the scenes, and he is an elder of the Shang family.

When I thought of an elder from the Shang family, I suddenly thought that Chi Laodao once asked me to take time to meet a senior from the Shang family.Could this be the senior of the Shang family that he said?If it really is, I'm going to be a little bit lucky now.

If I had really gone to see this senior back then, I guess this would have been beaten back to its original shape no matter what.The eyes of this old man pierced my eyes like two sharp swords, and they saw into my heart all the way.

The old man looked me up and down, then looked at Jin Nantian, and said with a smile: "I think you two are from the world, Jin Nantian and Ruan Shijie! Hello, my name is Shang Sixing, and I am Shang Jie's grandfather." .”

Jin Nantian and I reached out our hands at the same time.Shang Sixing clasped his fists and said: "We are all from the Jianghu, let's use the etiquette of the Jianghu!" Jin Nantian and I both laughed and clasped our fists together.

He held out his hand for us to sit down, and then motioned for everyone to sit down too.At this time, I saw Sheng Ergou who was following behind. He had a bruise on his face, obviously he had been beaten.Needless to say, it can be guessed that he was beaten here.

Shang Sixing looked at Jin Nantian and me and said with a smile: "After listening to Mr. Ruan's analysis just now, I think it makes a lot of sense. But according to the word passed down from our ancestors, this tomb is from the Northern Song Dynasty. It should be earlier, but it will not pass the period of five generations."

I nodded as soon as I heard it, and said to Shang Sixing: "Mr. Shang can call me Xiaoruan, or Shijie. What I said just now has no other meaning, just some doubts in my heart. Because only the tomb is confirmed. We can basically infer what kind of treasure is inside. Or what kind of mechanism will appear, these are all things we have to consider. My style of doing things has always been like this, so don’t be offended if you are still old.”

Shang Sixing smiled and said to me: "Why would I be offended by this? What we need here is a talent like you. Mr. Jin didn't interrupt when you were talking just now. It means that you two have the same views. I admire you for being an old man." Having said that, he said to Shang Jie: "Xiao Jie arranges a banquet, and I will personally clean up the dust for the two gentlemen!"
