After buying the golden toad, He Qing called to Lin Haitao and said: "Haitao, it's getting late. We have to go back. We have to go to Hanshan Temple in the afternoon. The master is still waiting for us in the hotel. "
"Well, okay." Lin Haitao responded, "Let's go."
So the two walked to the parking lot and drove back to the hotel.
"Brother Qing, I'm very curious and want to ask you a question." Lin Haitao said with a smile in the car, "Do you believe in Feng Shui fortune telling?"
He Qing replied: "There are some believers in this thing, and some are not. I didn't believe it at all before, but now I do believe it a little bit. I think things like Feng Shui patterns still have a certain basis. They are not completely feudal.
superstitious."
"Indeed!" Lin Haitao nodded, "I'm about the same as you. Before I entered the antique shop, I didn't believe in fortune telling at all, but now that I've been exposed to it more, I seem to have that feeling subtly. Brother Qing, no wonder you are very
If you like to play with weapons, is that 'Wealth Toad' you just bought at a high price a Feng Shui decoration for yourself?"
He Qing nodded and said, "Well, let's have some fun by ourselves."
He hasn't had this idea yet. In fact, although he has changed his views on Feng Shui now, he has not accepted it, let alone superstitious. Therefore, he has not thought about Feng Shui decoration for his shop or the place where he lives.
I just feel that the magical artifact has a mysterious quality and has special collection value.
Lin Haitao shook his head and sighed: "Hey, Brother Qing, the price you just offered is really too high. It seems that you still need to learn more experience in bargaining! In our antique shop, there are endless asking prices.
They are everywhere. People who sell things always brag about their products to the sky at first, but in fact the products are far from that level. Just now the boss was full of lies. He also said that this thing can shine. This is not nonsense.
What?! Do you really think that magical artifacts have spiritual energy?! Those are just people’s beautiful fantasies, so that they can place their wishes on divine objects to enhance their self-confidence!”
"Haitao, that's not necessarily true!" He Qing smiled and shook his head, "Maybe this thing really emits the so-called 'spiritual light'!"
"Impossible! How is it possible?!" Lin Haitao smiled bitterly, "To be honest, apart from relics, I have never seen a magic weapon that can naturally emit light for a long time, except of course those that have been tampered with. Oh, by the way,
Brother Qing, why did you refuse verification just now?! If you want to verify the luminescence of the magic weapon, then the boss's boast will be defeated."
He Qing said: "Just trust others once. Anyway, the thing is not very expensive, only 120,000 yuan. You can also tell that the thing is an old antique or a magic weapon made of gold materials. No matter
The value is there."
"That's true! You won't lose a lot." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement with a relieved look on his face, "You have picked up so many big leaks before, it is only human nature to give others a little sweetness."
The two of them returned to the hotel where they stayed not long after. At this time, Mr. Zheng had not returned from his trip, so He Qing and Lin Haitao went back to the guest room to wait.
When he returned to the room, He Qing carefully placed the golden toad on the table, and then looked at it carefully.
"Brother Qing, what are you looking at?" Seeing He Qing staring at the golden toad on the table for a long time, Lin Haitao couldn't help but said in surprise. He always felt that there was something strange about the other person, as if he was a small magic weapon.
What kind of fame can be seen on it.
He Qing replied without looking back: "Haitao, I studied it carefully. There is indeed something different about this magical weapon!"
"Oh?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise, "What's the difference? Isn't it just an old copperware? It's not made of pure gold."
He Qing nodded and said: "I know it's not made of pure gold. The difference is not in the material, but in other places. Haitao, please close the curtains in the room and let's do an experiment!"
"Ah? Doing an experiment?!" Lin Haitao became more and more surprised, but he still followed the instructions and closed the curtains.
He Qing picked up the golden toad, stood up and said, "Come and take a look."
As he spoke, he walked towards the bed, lifted up the quilt and covered his hands, also covering the toad.
"Yo!" Soon, Lin Haitao, who was walking over, noticed it. He immediately exclaimed, "Brother Qing, this... this thing really shines! What the hell is going on?! It emits white light."
Fluorescence, the boss must have done something to it and filled it with luminescent substances such as fluorescent powder, otherwise how could a piece of copper emit white light?!"
Lin Haitao said: "You know, most of the light emitted by night pearls is white, just like this one."
"But this has nothing to do with the Night Pearl!" Lin Haitao gasped, "It would be really weird if it wasn't filled with fluorescent powder or other substances! I don't believe it - Brother Qing, you
Show me the thing and I'll check it to see if there's anything wrong with it!"
"Well, take a look." He Qing handed the thing to Lin Haitao. Lin Haitao picked up the thing and looked over it over and over, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't see anything. Except for the mouth, there was no trace of the toad.
It is impossible to fill the gap with fluorescent powder, and the vague white light seems to be emitted from the mouth, but there is nothing abnormal inside, and even after shaking it hard a few times, there is no movement.
After reading it, Lin Haitao handed the things back to He Qing and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qing, it's very strange. There doesn't seem to be any flaws!"
He Qing said: "Haitao, this kind of light feels different from the light emitted by fluorescent powder. This light is naturally a lot, very uniform, and there is no change. According to my judgment, it should not be something the boss did deliberately before. If he has done anything in the past,
If it is filled with fluorescent powder or other substances, it will definitely leave traces."
"Well, I think so too!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly.
Then he frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that this magic weapon is really that powerful?!"
"I don't know, I'll take a look." He Qing shook his head. After saying that, he went to open the curtains and continued to study the thing seriously.
After about a few minutes, He Qing cheered: "Haitao, I understand, I understand!"
"What do you know?!" Lin Haitao, who was reading, was startled and asked quickly, and then he came over to take a closer look.
He Qing said solemnly: "The problem is in the toad's mouth."
As he spoke, he put his finger into the toad's mouth and groped carefully for a while. Then he took his finger back and gently twisted the toad's head. It twisted loudly and twisted a hundred times.
Eighty degrees.
"Eh?! There's a mechanism here!" Lin Haitao's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the twisted part of the toad with a look of disbelief on his face.
He Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, there are small mechanisms. Fortunately, I have studied the layout of mechanisms on small objects before, otherwise I really wouldn't have discovered them."
"It's amazing!" Lin Haitao sighed, "I just don't know what the mystery is. Could it be... could it be..."
His expression became solemn, as if he had remembered something, but before he could say the words, He Qing thrust his hand into the toad's mouth again.
"Okay! It's finally done!" After a moment, He Qing said in surprise and joy, "Haitao, just close the curtains again, and I'll do a magic trick for you!"
"Yeah!" Lin Haitao hurriedly ran to close the curtains. He didn't expect that the magic weapon was not as simple as it seemed, but had great potential. Under this situation, he was naturally full of curiosity.
I want to know immediately what kind of magic trick He Qing mentioned.
Then he walked back to He Qing and asked: "Brother Qing, is there something in the mouth of this toad?"
"Haitao, congratulations, you guessed it right! Look, it's this one!" He Qing said in a very excited tone. At the same time, he withdrew his fingers from the toad's mouth and poured the thing onto the bed.
Suddenly, a small thing suddenly jumped out of the toad's mouth, fell on the bed, and rolled into the quilt.
"A luminous pearl?!" Upon seeing this, Lin Haitao was shocked and said excitedly, "Brother Qing, this turns out to be a luminous pearl! There is a luminous pearl in the toad's mouth!"
The answer has been revealed. It turns out that the golden toad that He Qing just bought has a bead in its mouth. The bead will shine, so the golden toad will glow.
It's just that the beads are inside the toad, so the luminescence is relatively weak. It's almost unnoticeable during the day and can only be vaguely seen in a dark environment.
At this time, He Qing had cleverly taken out the bead from under the toad's mouth, and he could directly see its luminous intensity.
I saw that the luminous pearl rolled into the quilt was shining like a small light bulb. The light emitted was very bright and had the same effect as the legendary luminous pearls in the palace in history.
"So bright?!" Lin Haitao couldn't believe his eyes and said in shock, "Isn't this a light-emitting device that the boss put in deliberately? But it doesn't look like it, it looks like a very ancient pearl.
!”
He Qing nodded vigorously and said: "It is definitely not a fake luminous pearl deliberately arranged by the boss, but this thing has always been in the mouth of the golden toad. The mechanism was specially built by the manufacturer in order to embed it well.
The luminous pearl inside.”
After that, he carefully picked up the magical luminous pearl, and saw that the pearl was not small, with a diameter of two or three centimeters, colorless, pure and transparent.
It's flawless!
"Brother Qing, isn't this the 'Ming Moon Pearl'?! How else could it be so bright?!" Lin Haitao asked doubtfully.
"Are you talking about the 'Ming Moon Pearl', which is a rare treasure in ancient times and is the same as the Heshi Bi?" He Qing asked in return.
"Yes!" Lin Haitao nodded, "I know it's unlikely, but the ancient luminous pearl you got by chance is almost the same as the one recorded in history! Congratulations, Brother Qing, I didn't expect you to pick up another one.
