It’s said to be a private collection, but...it’s more like an exhibit placed in a private collection coffin.
Old Hu thought of the thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat again, and he knew what this wealthy Hong Kong businessman was trying to do.
So many ancient corpses.
This is the corpse-suppressing mirror that Chong Zhouxun brought out from King Xian’s tomb!
Old Hu was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Lei, why do you collect so many ancient mummies?"
Although Lao Hu knows that some people like to collect ancient corpses, collecting so many ancient corpses is abnormal.
Shirley Yang said, "I don't think many people in China like to collect ancient corpses. Mr. Lei, you have collected so many ancient corpses. Do you want to sell them abroad?"
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "That's right. Now many museums abroad specialize in purchasing well-preserved ancient corpses. They say that these corpses are cultural relics that solidify the beauty of eternal death, and they contain huge commercial and cultural value."
Zhou Xun shook his head speechlessly.
He snorted in his heart, thinking that the history of foreign countries is not so long, so naturally he likes to search for things related to history of other countries.
If they had a cultural history of five thousand years like our country, you would think they would still like to collect these corpses.
Zhou Xun had a deep hatred towards corpses and coffins.
Even the thousand-year-old coffin in King Xian's tomb, Zhou Xun was not interested in taking it out.
What's more, there is a corpse inside. Unless it is an extraordinary empty coffin, Zhou Xun might take it out if he is in a good mood.
Uncle Ming finally got straight to the point and said, "Everyone, since we have a predestined relationship, I will not be polite. Brother Hu, since you have seen my collection, can you let me see the ancient corpse-suppressing mirror you brought back from Yunnan?"
"Don't worry, you can name any price you want. As long as I can accept it, I will never bargain. If you like any of my antiques and jades, you can exchange them with me. I will never let you suffer a loss. How do you think?"
Old Hu thought to himself: It is true, he really came here for the ancient corpse-suppressing mirror, but how did he know that Master Zhou brought out an ancient corpse-suppressing mirror?
Not only Lao Hu, but also Zhou Xun, everyone was very curious about how Lei Xianming knew about the ancient mirror that could suppress corpses. Those who went to the tomb of King Xian also knew Fatty Lao Hu and Shirley Yang.
Only ten people in the palace knew about these things.
Except for Zhou Xun, everyone else present turned their attention to the fat man who was looking around at the side.
Suddenly, the fat man seemed to sense something.
Look back!
Oh my god! Why is everyone looking at me?
Could it be that they knew that I went out to have fun at night these past few days?
He shrank his head in confusion.
Then he looked down at his toes.
When everyone saw this, they realized that the fat man was actually feeling guilty.
It turned out that the fat guy with a big mouth was bragging outside.
Zhou Xun was also drunk watching this scene.
Of course he knew it was Blind Chen who said that, but why was this fat guy so guilty?
Has the plot changed?
Old Hu took his eyes off the fat man and asked Uncle Ming, "Why? Do you know the origin of this ancient corpse-suppressing mirror?"
Uncle Ming looked at the people present and smiled, "Brother Hu, you are still arguing with me. This ancient corpse-suppressing mirror is of no use to you, but it is very useful to me. There is nothing better than this in the world to ward off evil spirits."
"As for its origin, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, when I heard a few friends in the antique business talking about it, I immediately thought that it must be an antique from before the Qin Dynasty, there is no doubt about it."
"Qin Shi Huang was a Legalist. You should know this, right?"
Those who knew naturally nodded.
Those who didn't know, like Fatty Lao Hu, nodded pretending to know.
Chapter 221 Big Gold Teeth's Abnormal Behavior
Only Zhou Xun remained unmoved, crossing his legs and continuing to play with the jade dragon-patterned ring on his left hand.
Da Jin Ya said beside Zhou Xun: "We all know this. During the time of the Hundred Schools of Thought, there was such a school. It was a theory of governing the country. It was extinct after the Confucianism was respected in the middle of the Han Dynasty."
After Big Gold Teeth finished speaking, Fatty Old Hu looked as if he had realized what was going on.
Fortunately, Lei Xianming did not notice the expressions of the two people.
"I won't lie in front of you all. That ancient mirror that can suppress corpses and ward off evil spirits is the symbol of the Legalists. It is said to have been made in Ziyang Mountain and can illuminate the four dimensions of heaven, earth, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame."
"According to records, there was a turtle corpse in the Yellow River that caused a storm and sank ships. The King of Qin ordered people to hang this mirror at the mouth of the river and sent soldiers to guard it."
"Until the Qin and Han dynasties, this ancient mirror fell into the hands of the princes, and finally, I don't know how it ended up in Yunnan."
"There is no other ancient mirror in the world that can be placed on a bronze coffin to prevent corpse transformation. Master Zhou, Brother Hu, please give it to me. I will never let you suffer any loss. How do you think?"
Uncle Ming told everyone everything he knew, and acted as if he really wanted to exchange the ancient mirror with everyone. At the same time, he looked at Zhou Xun closely, hoping that Zhou Xun would agree.
He knew that whether this deal could be done would ultimately depend on the opinion of this young Mr. Zhou.
After Uncle Ming finished speaking, Old Hu was shocked. He didn't expect that an ancient corpse-suppressing mirror had such a great origin and could have suppressed the corpse of a giant turtle in the Yellow River.
Then this ancient corpse-suppressing mirror is a divine artifact with immeasurable merits.
The fat man's eyes were shining. He didn't understand the rest, but he understood one thing: this ancient corpse-suppressing mirror was related to Qin Shihuang, so it must be extremely valuable.
Shirley Yang was also stunned. She didn't expect that this ancient mirror had such a great origin.
Now, Lao Hu couldn't make the decision anymore, and everyone was waiting quietly for Zhou Xun's reply.
Zhou Xun played with the dragon-patterned jade ring while saying, "Now that we've talked about it, I'll be frank. I have the corpse-suppressing ancient mirror, and it's exactly the one you mentioned, but I won't give it to you."
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Ming got anxious on the spot: "Master Zhou, if the price I offer is not suitable, you can raise it at will. As long as I have it, you can take it directly!"
Zhou Xun said: "Don't worry, we have the means to suppress corpses. I won't hide it from you. Except for Da Jin Ya, all the others present are tomb raiders, and I am the tomb raider of this generation."
"Touch Captain Jin?"
"General Faqiu?"
Uncle Ming said in shock.
Unexpectedly, these people turned out to be the legendary tomb-raiding lieutenant and the fachou lieutenant general.
Others were looking for one person but couldn't get him, it turns out that they were all gathered together.
No wonder, no wonder they are all so rich, living in palaces, driving luxury cars, and even the things they injured are treasures from the palace.
If it was the tomb-raiding lieutenant and the fachou lieutenant general, then... everything can be explained.
Thinking about the golden mask and moth jade pendant mentioned earlier, it turns out that they were all taken out from the tomb!
If he is the Captain of the Tomb Raiders or the Lieutenant General of the Fa Qiu, then it is natural for him to have means to suppress corpses.
Uncle Ming immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the people present here are actually the legendary tomb-raiding lieutenants and generals of the tomb-raiding army. If I could ask you to do it yourself, I would naturally be more willing."
Zhou Xun held out his hand and said, "Don't be happy yet. You should know that the price of hiring a tomb-raiding lieutenant is not something that ordinary people can afford, let alone you are going to hire four tomb-raiding lieutenants and a general of the tomb-raiding army at once."
Zhou Xun’s meaning is very simple, we... are very expensive!
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "Of course, of course, please wait a moment."
After a while, Uncle Ming appeared again, holding two valuable wooden boxes in his hands.
Place it on the table next to Zhou Xun.
He opened the smallest wooden box first, and saw an ancient jade artifact inside.
Everyone felt that once the wooden box was opened, the scorching heat in the room suddenly disappeared... 0
Da Jin Ya loved jade artifacts the most, and when he saw the piece placed in front of him, he quickly went over to take a look.
Da Jin Ya was full of praise: "The ancients said that jade grows in the mountains and makes wood moist, and is produced in water and makes its fragrance flow. Although this jade phoenix is small, once I take it out, I feel that the whole room becomes moisturized. It really makes me feel comfortable."
Then he asked Uncle Ming, "May I ask which lady in the Tang Dynasty wore this?"
Zhou Xun also felt that this jade was extraordinary. Although it was much inferior to his own spiritual jade, it was indeed a treasure among jades.
The fat man almost drooled when looking at the jade.
To be honest, this is better than the ancient jade worth a million that Zhou Xun gave them last time!
Even people as knowledgeable as Shirley Yang and Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but praise him in their hearts.
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "Brother Jin, you have a good eye. Although the story of the Empress Tianbao is a fiction, it also contains some real information. It says that Yang Guifei swallowed saliva with jade in her mouth to quench her lungs' thirst. She was referring to this piece of jade!"
"This material is carved from an ancient jade that has been buried in the sea for tens of millions of years. The jade is naturally moist, and the long time it has been immersed in the sea has made it even more beneficial. It can relieve heat and dryness, soften hard masses and detoxify. It is a priceless treasure and one of my favorite things."
In order to make Zhou Xun accept 2.8, Lei Xianming introduced it with extra effort. Although he worked hard, he spoke the truth.
Zhou Xun naturally knew that these words were true.
People can feel the preciousness of this jade.
After all, the originally hot room is now refreshing like the spring breeze.
After Uncle Jingming introduced it to Da Jinya, his eyes widened: "Since ancient times, whenever a tomb is opened and a corpse is found that looks alive, there must be a lot of beautiful jade in its belly."
Da Jin Ya thought that the ancient jade taken out from the rice dumplings was priceless, not to mention that this was what the empress held in her mouth every day.
Thinking of this, he stretched his neck over and stuck out his tongue to lick it.
Uncle Ming wanted to get on the big gold tooth when he saw it.
He quickly grabbed the big gold tooth.
Chapter 222: The Cow in the Painting Moves
He stopped her, saying, "Are you kidding me? You can't do that now. As long as you are willing to come with me, you can take it home and lick it however you want."
"You can put it in your mouth every day, and there will be no problem!"
Zhou Xun felt so embarrassed seeing Da Jin Ya like this.
He supported his forehead with one hand and used the other hand to pull the big gold tooth aside.
Uncle Ming saw that Zhou Xun still didn't say anything, and he knew that the price was still not enough.
Yes, if there was only one tomb-raiding lieutenant, it might be fine, two or three would be fine too, but here there are four tomb-raiding lieutenants, and one is the leader of the Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang.
Fortunately, I had foresight.
He carefully put the wooden box containing the ancient jade aside, opened another long box, and took out an ancient painting from it.
Lei Xianming put on another pair of gloves.
He carefully unfolded the painting for Zhou Xun and others to see.
After everyone saw the ancient jade, they realized that this person had a lot of good things, and this ancient painting was probably extraordinary as well.
They gathered around to watch.
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "Master Zhou, as long as you give me a nod, the Deep Sea Jade and this authentic Song Dynasty painting of a cow resting in the sunset clouds will all be yours!"
Picture of a cow resting in the setting sun?
Everyone looked at the painting of setting sun and cows resting on the ground, although they rarely came into contact with calligraphy and painting.
Only Zhou Xun has calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, ancient jade, weapons... Zhou Xun also has the authentic works of Tang Bohu and Wang Xizhi.
Except for Da Jin Ya, other people rarely come into contact with calligraphy and painting, and have never seen many authentic calligraphy and paintings. The most familiar things they are about calligraphy and painting are the various murals seen in ancient tombs.
However, even so, everyone could feel that this painting was extraordinary!
The structure of this painting is composed of two large blocks cut in at an angle. The foreground is dominated by dense trees, and an old cow is eating grass under the trees. The lines are simple and smooth, and the brushwork is magical, which vividly and vividly depicts the old cow's gentle and calm demeanor.
In the middle ground there is a thatched cottage in the woods, while in the distance light ink is used to depict the shape of the distant mountains and the evening mist.
The layers of distance, middle and near are connected naturally, the virtual and real are intertwined, the light smoke and mist are as if covered by a layer of veil, which makes people feel a deep, distant, ethereal and comfortable feeling of being away from the world at a glance!
Uncle Ming saw the admiration in everyone's eyes.
He introduced it to everyone with a smile: "At night, when the light gets dim, the cows that were originally grazing under the tree will return to the grass shed to lie down and sleep. This is a rare and genuine product!"
The fat man said in disbelief: "You are exaggerating, aren't you? The cow in this painting can move? Could it be that this cow has become a spirit? Haha!"
Everyone didn't believe it.
Zhou Xun knew that this was the most amazing part of the painting.
Big Gold Teeth looked at the painting and shook his head, saying, "Although this painting is good, the cow in this painting can move. That's too magical!"
Lao Hu joked, "I've heard before that an antique dealer used a painting to deceive people. In the painting, there was a traveler with an umbrella on his back. When it rained, the umbrella in the painting would open. In the end, everyone found out that the two paintings were secretly exchanged. You..."
