Chapter 741 Lijiang Ancient City, Double Lion Warm Inkstone

"I hope so." Yu Yao nodded, "I also hope they leave early, so that we can find the cave of the flying bear owner as soon as possible..."

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ying came back, looking a little tired.

"How about it?"

"not ideal."

"Take a break first." Yu Yao said, "What is known so far is not too small."

Xiao Ying waved his hand, "It's not that I didn't get anything. However, that old man knows a lot, but his spiritual consciousness is very strong, and it's hard for me to disturb him. I almost woke him up. To be safe, I'd better go first."

Lin Fengcao frowned and said, "That old man's temples are slightly raised, he is a master of the inner family, unexpectedly, he also knows the art of Taoism?"

"It's not like, maybe it's because of special training." Xiao Ying asked Lin Fengcao, "Did you tell me everything you know?"

"Correct."

"They have done a lot of research on mutated species, and there are also specimens of other winged mammals, but most of them are meat wings. This flying bear, they suspected it was wings, so they paid special attention to it. The [-] Research Institute mainly has There are two opinions." Xiao Ying began to introduce his new situation.

"One of the factions must be regarded as the mounts of practitioners?" Yu Yao asked.

"Yes, but this faction is weak." Xiao Ying replied.

"Then the other school's opinion is due to the genetic variation of species and environmental factors?" Lin Fengcao asked again.

"No." Xiao Ying said, "The other school of thought is that in ancient times, some people specially bred special animals to defeat the enemy. There are actually many descriptions of this point in ancient times, commanding wild animals to participate in battles and so on, and there are often strange animals. .”

Both Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao nodded.This shows that the last time the [-] Research Institute had investigated the environment and carried out research, it was not believed to be an environmental factor.At the same time, I don't really believe in the legend of the so-called Jiejiao expert's practice.

"I have the best news." Xiao Ying said again, "They called the monitoring ship, not to investigate the environment and look for clues, because the last time they did a thorough investigation. This time the monitoring ship was requisitioned mainly to collect a large number of water samples .”

"It's indeed good news." Yu Yao smiled, "This is already ideal, we don't need to know so much about their core secrets!"

Xiao Ying nodded, "I do have some interest in this research institute. But the only thing I asked was that this research institute was established on June 1986, 6, that's why it's called that."

After a pause, Xiao Ying said again, "There are priorities, and this research institute will leave him alone."

"Since this is the case, it means that these three people will stay for a while, so let's wait. When they leave, hurry up and explore the Crescent River Beach!" Yu Yao continued.

The three of them didn't sleep all night, and then they simply ate breakfast and went to sleep.

After sleeping until evening, Yu Yao also received a call from Liu Dali after waking up. Liu Dali happily told Yu Yao that the people in the research institute will use the monitoring ship tomorrow, and they may leave the day after tomorrow.Liu Dali said that he would try his best to arrange for the day after tomorrow to leave the boat early in the morning, and at the end he flattered Yu Yao by saying that he had "smart tricks".

Eat people soft-mouthed, take others soft-handed, but Liu Dali is indeed very caring.

The three of them discussed it during dinner. Since the [-] Research Institute is the itinerary, Liu Dali promised again, let's stop for a while in the next two days, and relieve the nerves that have been tense for a while. .In the face of major events, there should be no chaos, and relaxation is also necessary.

The three decided to go to Lijiang Old Town tomorrow.

The next day, the three of them arrived at the Old Town of Lijiang and walked around very freely.Lijiang is a hot spot for tourism, and the season is good now, so there are so many tourists; in addition, there are many tour guides with loudspeakers leading the team with Little Red Riding Hood, which is quite noisy from time to time.

In the morning, the three of them mainly strolled around Sifang Street in the ancient city.This Sifang Street can also be said to be an "antique" market in Lijiang; there is an open-air square, about [-] square meters, covered with five-flowered stones.

There are row upon row of stalls here, of course, most of them are not "antiques", it is more appropriate to say they are "department stores".However, you can also see distinctive old things, and some small-year handicrafts are also very interesting.

Yu Yao walked around half of the market, but there was basically nothing that caught his eye.At this time, Lin Fengcao made a move.

He took a fancy to a pair of iron walnuts.The difference between iron walnut and hemp walnut is that the cortex is hard, the oil content is large, and it is pure wild.However, most of the iron walnuts are used for oil extraction in Yunnan Province, and only a few varieties can be played.Moreover, iron walnuts often have one variety per tree, and the fruit is limited, so there are not many good pairings.

Lin Fengcao fell in love with this pair because they were well matched.The stall owner said that this species is called "Kang Rinpoche", because this ancient iron walnut tree grows in the sacred mountain of Gang Rinpoche; and he will not be able to get it in the future, because this tree was bought by a nuclear dealer in Jinling .

When Lin Fengcao was buying walnuts, Yu Yao caught a glimpse of a copper box on the stall, and picked it up because it looked a little old. It was indeed a copper ink box from the late Qing Dynasty, but it was very ordinary and worthless.

Such goods are generally called "Old Pu" in the industry, which is a bit tasteless.

Yu Yao shook his head lightly, put it down, and it happened that Lin Fengcao had also finished the transaction; Yu Yao was about to leave, when the stall owner leaned over and took out another "copper box" from under the stall, and put it in front of Yu Yao:

"Boss likes copperware? I have another one here, which I collected together with that one. This three-dimensional one is just too rusty. I originally wanted to wear down the green rust before displaying it."

Yu Yao took a closer look, and thought, it's thanks to you that you didn't grind!

This is a bronze warm inkstone.

The warm inkstone is divided into three layers, the box cover, the box body and the box bottom.There are double lions on the lid of the box, and there is a hydrangea in between the two lions; the middle box body is where the ink is ground and stored; and the bottom layer of the box can be filled with hot water to prevent freezing ink in cold weather.There are also patterned borders and four feet at the bottom of the box.

Many parts of the warm inkstone are covered with patina, but the overall effect of the leather shell is very good.The age of this pair of lion warm inkstones is much older than that of the copper ink box, and it is from the Yuan Dynasty.

"This one is layered and not ugly." Yu Yao picked it up without any hassle.There are many people in the market, before asking the price, you can't be cut by someone.

At this time, Xiao Ying was looking at some old Tibetan objects at a stall not far away. Lin Fengcao held a walnut in his hand and said intentionally, "If it's not expensive, you can buy it for fun."

"This." The stall owner smiled, "This is really a bit expensive."

Yu Yao also smiled, and Xin Dao just said that it was going to be worn out, "How expensive is it?"

The stall owner held out four fingers.

"Forty?" Yu Yao was just hanging out, so he wasn't afraid of wasting time.

"That pair of walnuts just now cost two hundred! It's worth a lot of money just by looking at the handwork! Four thousand!" The stall owner didn't make any fuss, "I just quoted the lowest price!"

To be honest, it is really difficult to pick up leaks in the antique market nowadays, because there are almost no good things, how to pick them up?But this does not mean that there are no leaks, and for people with ordinary eyesight, some leaks cannot be picked up, which is the most depressing.

There are many situations here.For example, if you encounter something, but you can’t understand it; for example, you think it might be a good thing, but you can’t make up your mind to buy it, because if you buy the wrong thing, you’ll throw money away; for example, you think it might be a good thing, but the price is too low Not too high, even if you buy the wrong one, you can still afford the tuition fee, but you didn’t control it well when you bought it, and the stall owner was shocked by the purchase, or the person next to you cut it off, and so on.

But right now, Yu Yao is facing this leak, he really feels sorry for himself if he doesn't pick it up.
