A middle-aged Taoist whose surname is Ding Dan has the Chinese character Hong. Although he does not know the art of divination and hexagrams, at his level of cultivation, he can already deduce the secrets of heaven and predict good and bad luck.
Especially since he and Ge Kai were from the same family for hundreds of years, after the other party encountered an unexpected incident, an ominous premonition immediately arose in his heart.
"Master, have you finished your retreat?"
Ding Hong came out of the retreat cave, and a young man also wearing Taoist uniform hurriedly greeted him, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "Master, it has been four or five months since Uncle Ge went out, and he has not been here for a long time."
See you back."
"Something must have happened. I have to go out!" Ding Hong waved his hand and said, "While I'm out, if anyone asks me to please say that I'm in retreat!"
One day later, deep in the foothills of Kunlun Mountain, a figure suddenly appeared from the sky, and was immediately wrapped in a cloud of fog. The fog paused in the air for a while, determined the direction, and flew straight to the capital.
go.
"Brother, do you want to come forward and say hello to the auction house and ask them to remove that thing from the auction?"
One week in the evening after Yun Huajun told his younger brother about the past, the two brothers sat in the courtyard again, with an obviously unhappy look on Yun Huatong's face.
In order to ensure that he got the crystal, Yun Huatong contacted Christie's in the past few days and wanted to buy the crystal privately at a high price, but was rejected by Christie's. The CEO of Yun's Group was in China.
I have never been rejected by someone like this.
"I think you are used to doing business in China."
Yun Huajun glared at his younger brother angrily, "Then what kind of organization is Christie's? Does he need to look at the faces of our Yun family to do things? Just go to the venue in a few days and take pictures of that thing."
"Okay, brother, don't worry, I will definitely get things done this time!" Yun Huatong nodded. Neither of the two brothers noticed. The air around them seemed to fluctuate, and a figure slowly appeared behind them.
came out.
"Little friend Yun, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing, my father?"
A crisp voice suddenly rang out. The Yun brothers who were drinking tea and talking were so frightened that they trembled all over. They looked around and found that there was an extra person in the yard.
"Who are you? You...how did you get in?" Although Mr. Yun has passed away, the old lady is still there. Even though the security level has been lowered by one level than before, not everyone can enter the yard.
"One day in the mountains, it's been a hundred years in this world, but I didn't expect that the little babies back then would have grown so big?" Ding Hong smiled slightly, looked at Yun Huajun and said, "My little friend, do you still remember Pindao?"
"You...are you Master Ding?"
Yun Huajun's voice trembled, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward. He looked at the man carefully, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he bowed deeply to the man.
"I haven't seen him for many years. His pure appearance has not changed. He is indeed one of the immortals!" Yun Huajun extended his hand to invite Ding Hong to take a seat. He looked at his younger brother and said, "Second brother, why don't you come over and see Ding Hong?"
"Brother, he...is he that one?" Yun Huatong had not yet woken up from the shock, looking at the Taoist priest in disbelief.
"Okay, people from the mountains and plains don't care about worldly etiquette, so don't be so polite."
Ding Hong tilted his head slightly and said, "It seems that your father is no longer here. My friend, is there anything important to do with summoning Pindao this time?"
Ding Hong used his spiritual sense to observe and found that Yun Huajun's father should be gone long ago, and judging from the expressions on the two brothers' faces, it seemed that his junior brother had never been here either.
"Master Ding, you left an album of pictures back then, but the things on it were too rare. I have only found two of them in so many years, and that's why I dared to invite Master Ding to come!"
While Yun Huajun was speaking, he secretly glanced at the Taoist in front of him. He was horrified beyond words. Nearly half a century had passed, and this Taoist's appearance remained the same. Time seemed to have left no trace on his face.
"Oh I got it?"
Ding Hong was stunned for a moment. He had asked Yun Huajun's father for those materials just to renovate the lower cave.
Even if I left a picture album later, I didn't have much hope because the chance of those things appearing in the world was really very small.
"Let's not talk about this matter for now."
Ding Hong waved his hand, stared at Yun Huajun, and said, "Little friend Yun, my junior brother left the mountain and came here four months ago. Have you ever seen him?"
The three jade pendants that Ding Hong gave to the Yun family were all refined by him using his master's secret method. Not only could he receive the messages from the jade pendants, but so could Ge Kai.
"Junior brother of Zhenren?"
Yun Huajun and his younger brother looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "Master Ding, we did break one of those jade pendants four months ago, but no one came looking for it!"
Ding Hong stared at the two of them for a while and said calmly: "Forget it, show me what you found!"——
"Dad, what have you been busy with lately?"
In the past, Ye Dongping couldn't see his son all day long. During this time, Ye Tian couldn't see his father for several days. Today after breakfast this morning, he saw something in his father's arms.
As he was about to walk out, he quickly grabbed him.
"Dad, stay home with my mom when you have nothing to do. Why are you always running around? If you raise a baby outside, I won't agree to it!"
In the past, when my father was at home, he would chat with Song Weilan, but these days Ye Dongping has disappeared, and Ye Tian has become the target of his mother's teachings, and she is working hard to transform Ye Tian into a gentleman.
It's just that Ye Tian grew up in the countryside, and later traveled around the world with his master. In fact, he still has a rough atmosphere in his heart. How can he stand this? That's why he left his father at home.
"You brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you!"
Ye Dongping was startled by his son's words. He quickly looked into the middle courtyard and took a look at Ye Tian.
It’s a good item, but I’m thinking it would be too much of a loss to sell it in a store, so don’t I want to send it to an auction house?”
Although Ye Dongping's antique shop still bears his name, Liu Wei'an is actually doing the management, operation and sales.
Moreover, all the profits gained belong to Liu Wei'an, but after all, it is still his own business. Ye Dongping now has a title there, and is known as a technical consultant. He will go there every now and then.
This time Liu Wei'an bought some pieces of good-quality Han jade. Several old customers were originally interested in it, but they were stopped by Ye Dongping. The auction price of this old jade was double the price, and he couldn't look at it.
My brother-in-law is at a disadvantage.
So Ye Dongping has been in contact with the auction house these days. With Song Weilan's relationship, he just finalized the deal with Christie's, and they were just preparing to hold a spring auction in the capital.
It's just that Ye Dongping contacted a little late. The promotional color pages for Christie's had already been printed, so he contacted a printing house in the past few days to rush to produce the promotional brochures for those pieces of Han jade.
"What is that you got?" Ye Tian curled his lips when he heard it was an auction, and his interest suddenly dropped.
Last year, Ye Tian collected Taoist classics, but he went to many auction places. Although the items there were old items and very precious, they had no effect on Ye Tian.
"I want the Christie's brochure to be printed according to unified specifications. You kid, you can't talk nonsense in front of your mother!"
Ye Dongping handed the picture album to Ye Tian while talking. He knew that his wife was blindly obedient to his son. If Ye Tian told nonsense, he would definitely start a fire in the backyard.
"Hey, this...why does this look so much like the spirit stone?"
Ye Tian took the brochure handed over by his father and started flipping through it. When he turned to the third page, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, his eyes fixed on the photo on the page.
This is a long spar about the length of a finger. It is fiery red in color and has four corners artificially cut out. Although it is just a photo, it still looks exquisite.
When others saw this thing, they would just think it was a gem, but in Ye Tian's eyes, the color and brightness of this thing were very similar to the fire attribute stones he had hidden in the safe.
.
"Dad, what is this thing? It's very beautiful!" Ye Tian pointed at the photo and looked up at his father.
Ye Dongping stretched out his head to take a look at the photo and said: "I heard that after a volcano erupted somewhere, a man picked it up near the crater. It was bought by a jeweler and cut into something like this. Why,
Are you interested in this stone?"
"Yes, I'm interested. Dad, when is the auction?"
Of course Ye Tian was interested. The value of the spirit stone could not be measured by money. Not to mention the figure of eight million on it, even if there was a zero added after it, Ye Tian would not hesitate to bid.
"In three days, if I don't want to talk nonsense with you, this thing has to be printed today."
Ye Dongping snatched the picture album from his son's hand, turned around and walked out of the yard, "You brat, if you dare to chew your tongue, I will deal with you when I come back!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head. His father was really funny. Who in this family didn't know that he was afraid of his wife. If only he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to mess with women outside.
"Is it erupted from the crater? It really might be a fire-attributed spirit stone!"
After returning to the room, Ye Tian took out the several spiritual stones hidden in the safe. Except for three of them, which were larger than those in the album, the rest were not as good as that one.
"No matter how much it costs, you must take a picture of it. This thing is not common. Who dares to go to a place like the crater to take it?" After playing with the stone in his hand, Ye Tian secretly made up his mind.
