Chapter 166: It’s Not What Money Can Measure (Part 1)
"Haitao, what?! What did you see?!" He Qing said in surprise. Lin Haitao was so surprised that he was confused.
Lin Haitao pointed to the "Jade Purification Vase" and said with joy: "Brother Qing, look here, does it emit a fluorescent light, light yellow and light yellow? It looks very weak, but in a dark environment, look carefully
I can still see clearly!”
"Huh?!" He Qing noticed immediately. Under Lin Haitao's instructions, as expected, he could vaguely find a ball of yellow light emitting from the vial, which looked beautiful and mysterious.
That ball of light is naturally not the "treasure light" emitted by antiques, but a real light that can be discerned by the naked eye, just like the legendary luminous pearl, which naturally emits luminous light.
"Yes!" He Qing widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Why didn't I notice it?! Haitao, how did you know about this phenomenon?!"
Lin Haitao smiled and replied: "I have only heard of this phenomenon. It is said that in the past few years, miracles of 'relics' glowing in the middle of the night have appeared in some temples in our country. In the dark night, the 'relics' in the temples have appeared
It actually emits a glowing phosphorescence, either dark red, lavender, or light yellow, which is beautiful and strange. For a time, devotees came to pay their respects. Although your bottle emits fluorescence with a relatively short afterglow, rather than obvious phosphorescence,
But the rumor that the relics are glowing has been proven, which at least shows that it is possible for the relics to glow! It’s so beautiful and magical!”
"So that's it!" He Qing nodded in sudden realization, "Can we now prove that this piece of bone china is not ordinary bone china, but a magical artifact made of relics?"
Lin Haitao nodded solemnly and replied: "Of course, it's basically certain! It is conceivable that not all relics can shine, only a very small number of relics can shine, Brother Qing,
This means that the material you used to obtain this small bottle by mistake is not an ordinary relic, but should be the spiritual bones left behind by a real enlightened monk! It is of immeasurable value!"
"Haha, maybe so." He Qing said with a smile.
Although he sounded like he didn't have much confidence, in his heart he was more sure than anyone else, because he knew the origin of the porcelain in his hand. It was made from the relics of an eminent monk. There was no doubt about it.
Now Lin Haitao identified the bone china as the product of authentic relics based on the phenomenon of fluorescence. With this, He Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. Isn't what he has to do is to let others accept his idea?
, to be precise, it is an objective fact.
"Brother Qing, you have to be admired. Your vision is indeed unique. You actually found a relic vase from a pile of ordinary bone china!" Lin Haitao praised. "I have heard of 'Jade Fat' before.
The legend of the vase is that it is a precious Buddhist treasure, but unfortunately it was snatched away by the Japanese invaders during the Republic of China, and its whereabouts are still unknown! Although your thing is not like the 'jade fat vase', the quality is definitely not good.
Duorang is also a very precious magic weapon, but not many people know about it now. If people in the magic weapon world know about it and publicize it, I don’t know how many people will come to visit, just to take a look!
"
"Ah?! No way?! No way!" He Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lin Haitao's words were so exciting that he described the small "white jade bottle" in his hand as a peerless national treasure that countless people could only dream of.
Although he was skeptical about Lin Haitao's endless praise, He Qing still had confidence. As the saying goes, "things are rare and valuable". Relics are not common, and they are fluorescent relics. Therefore,
You know how precious things are.
"Haitao, do you know any friends in the magic weapon world? Maybe someone can help confirm it." He Qing then said. He was making some insinuations and wanted to find a master to give him a hand. After all, he and Lin Haitao must still be there now.
It is far from enough. Only by gaining everyone's recognition can the potential huge value of something be realized.
I only heard Lin Haitao reply: "I know a few of them. Some are professional Feng Shui masters, but I feel that they are not very reliable and don't have much ability. If I want to appraise such a treasure for you, I must find someone with real talent."
You are a master of practical learning! Brother Qing, I can leave this matter to your master, who is my grandfather. He has great powers in this industry. He basically knows all the famous people and is very familiar with him.
, with him taking action, we will definitely be able to find a reliable magic weapon master!"
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, I understand, let's talk about it later."
When he and Mr. Zheng parted last night, the other party had already told him that he would come to see He Qing today. It seemed that he had something important to discuss. However, he did not explain it at the time, and He Qing had no way of knowing.
When Mr. Zheng arrived later, he would be able to talk to him about this matter. He Qing made up his mind.
Afterwards, he and Lin Haitao walked out of the dark inner room and returned to the antique shop lobby.
"Brother Qing, Haitao, what are you talking about inside?" Gu Qing, who was packing his things, asked.
He Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "Nothing, just looking at one thing. Gu Qing, those are four pieces of bone china that I just collected from Mr. Smith. If you like it, take it back and keep it yourself. If you don't like it, just take it back and keep it."
Put it on the shelves, the bone china is really beautiful and can add luster to our store."
Gu Qing shook his head and said: "I already have it. There's no need to collect a lot of the same things. Then I'll put them up. Oh, by the way, how much did you spend?"
He Qing answered truthfully: "We spent 80,000 together."
"Eighty thousand?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Qing was shocked, but Lin Haitao who was standing aside also couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
Gu Qing hurriedly asked: "Why is it so expensive?!"
Lin Haitao also said: "Yes, it is indeed a bit expensive. Bone china doesn't cost that much."
He Qing said calmly: "You get what you pay for. The items are really good, well-made, and they are old items. The price is worth it. Besides, Mr. Smith gave me such a beautiful girl as a gift."
vial, in general I shouldn’t suffer any loss, even if I lose money, it won’t be much of a loss, right?”
"So this is included?!" After hearing his explanation, Lin Haitao's face was suddenly filled with smiles, and he said excitedly, "Brother Qing, you made a lot of money, this time you picked up another
A big leak!”
"What?!" Hearing this, Gu Qing looked at Lin Haitao and then at He Qing, confused.
Lin Haitao immediately explained: "Sister Gu Qing, you don't know, Brother Qing has found another big treasure!"
"What treasure? Where is it?" Gu Qing asked in surprise and joy.
Lin Haitao pointed to the mutton-fat jade-like porcelain vase in He Qing's hand and said, "Here, it's that thing!"
Gu Qing said disapprovingly: "Isn't that just a piece of bone china?"
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "It is indeed bone china, but it is not ordinary bone china, but made of relics, and it is very old! That piece of porcelain can not only prove that China has mature bone china manufacturing technology a long time ago
, and it is a magic weapon with special functions, so let alone tens of thousands of yuan, it is worth considering the high price of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions! Now this thing has arrived
If Brother Qing has it, it belongs to him, and he can do whatever he wants!"
"Ah?!" Gu Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at He Qing with a look of disbelief. Due to being too excited, his voice trembled slightly and he said, "Brother Qing, is this true?"
He Qing nodded vigorously and said: "Well, it's true. Gu Qing, why don't you come and experience it too? Even though this bottle is small, it does have something different. It is extremely delicate.
, as if it were made of mutton-fat jade.”
"Well, let me take a look!" Gu Qing nodded enthusiastically, and then she stepped forward to carefully inspect the so-called "relic bottle".
The thing feels as warm as jade when touched, and emits a strange light, which is enough to convince people.
"It's really unexpected!" After reading it, Gu Qing sighed, "Old Duan will take you there, and you will find such a good thing. If it is really made of relics, it will be of immeasurable value.
!”
Lin Haitao agreed: "Isn't that right?! Brother Qing is so lucky! Why is it so easy for him to pick up leaks?!"
Gu Qing said with a smile: "That's because he has good eyesight!"
The two of them praised He Qing one by one. After a while, Lin Haitao suddenly said: "Brother Qing, let's play with the Four Seasons Bagua Lock. I really want to study that thing.
So funny!"
He Qing agreed without hesitation: "Yes, okay."
So they played with the machine lock. In addition to explaining the lock-picking methods that they had already used to Lin Haitao and Gu Qing, He Qing also showed them other lock-picking methods, step by step, until the other party completely
Until it becomes clear.
"It turns out it's so simple!" After understanding it, Lin Haitao tried it several times, and it worked every time. He was very happy and said hurriedly, "Brother Qing, you are so smart! The simpler something is, the more complicated it is. If you don't understand it,
It is really difficult to open this lock, and it will only become more and more complicated and fall into a messy cycle!"
He Qing smiled and said: "Yes, it was only because I had some understanding at the beginning that I opened the lock relatively easily."
Lin Haitao said: "Brother Qing, these methods are simpler than the ones you used before, especially the method of directly opening the machine. It's so amazing! Why didn't you demonstrate it to Grandmaster and the others at that time?
, I think they don’t know the method. It’s as if you made this lock yourself!”
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "Just open it."
He didn't want to show off in front of the Patriarch and the others. Firstly, it was to give face to the seniors present, and secondly, he had to keep a low profile and not be too arrogant, otherwise he would be jealous.
While the three of them were talking casually, several people suddenly walked in...
