"Yes, this is the ghost market. People who see the ghost market for the first time have similar expressions to you!"
Wu Xiaoli chuckled and said, as more and more people collect, more and more people know about ghost markets and go shopping for treasures in ghost markets. In the early years, especially more than ten years ago, ghost markets were still very popular.
The selection started at midnight and ended before dawn, but now the ghost market has started at midnight.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Zheng Kaida rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement. He didn't buy anything good in the antique city, so he pinned his hopes on the big market in this ghost market, and with Li Yang following him, at this time
Zheng Kaida is very confident.
Walking into the ghost market, Li Yang immediately frowned. He always smelled a faint and unpleasant smell from the stalls around him.
"There are also a lot of fakes in the ghost market, but these fakes are all of a certain level. It's not like people in antique towns who directly use handicrafts as antiques to deceive newbies who have just entered the collecting world!"
Entering the ghost market, Wu Xiaoli immediately explained to Li Yang in a low voice. At this point, Wu Xiaoli's voice became even quieter, and almost only the two of them could hear it.
As she spoke, Wu Xiaoli stopped and squatted in front of a stall to observe a blue and white porcelain jar. She looked at it for two or three minutes before gently shaking her head and getting up to leave.
Wu Xiaoli walked a few steps and squatted at another stall to observe a piece of ancient jade.
Li Yang squatted down. In addition to ancient jade, this stall also had some ceramics. Wu Xiaoli didn't ask any questions, and the stall owner didn't say anything either. He just looked at them with a smile.
Li Yang carefully looked at several pieces of ancient jade in front of the stall, and finally shook his head with a helpless smile. When it comes to new jade, he can almost recognize it, whether it is soft jade or jade, but these are ancient jade in front of him.
I really don’t know if it’s true or not. Anyway, it looks like it’s true, but it also feels like it’s all fake.
"At least these things are all jade!"
Li Yang secretly thought that even if the ancient jade was fake, he would still have to use jade as the material, so that no matter how fake the ancient jade was, it would still have a certain value.
There were a total of thirty pieces of ancient jade in front of him. Li Yang simply turned on his special ability to cover these thirty pieces of ancient jade. At least he could use his special ability to tell whether it was a real jade or not.
The internal three-dimensional structure of more than thirty pieces of ancient jade immediately appeared clearly in Li Yang's mind. Li Yang squatted there blankly, with a bit of disbelief on his face.
Nearly half of the things that looked like jade to him were not jade at all. The level of these fakes was so strong that even Li Yang was fooled by them. Without this special ability,
Even if these fake jade are not ancient jade, they are just new jade and can be deceived by Li Yang.
In addition, there is another third that is very poor jade. Li Yang has not seen these jade, but the internal arrangement is very messy, and they are basically worthless things.
The few remaining ones were actually real jade. Li Yang quietly glanced at Wu Xiaoli and realized that what he was observing was these few ancient jade. After a few minutes, Wu Xiaoli shook her head and left again.
The last real jade was also shot by Wu Xiaoli. In fact, Li Yang himself felt something was wrong just now. He always felt that these were not real ancient jade. Li Yang himself didn't know why he felt this way.
After walking two booths, the two stopped. Zheng Kaida was standing there carefully observing a calligraphy and painting. Sima Lin stood beside him, looking at the words on the picture with his hands behind his back. Is this painting an old version of him?
I don’t know, but the writing of this word made Sima Lin quite appreciate it.
"How about Xiaoli, do you like anything?"
When Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli walked by, Zheng Kaida happened to put away the calligraphy and paintings and handed them to the vendor next to him.
"No, every year is worse than every year!" Wu Xiaoli smiled bitterly, and Zheng Kaida nodded deeply.
Nowadays, more and more people are collecting, but in the antique world, most of the collectibles are obtained by those who are early, and the rest have to be found in the vast sea of people. It is not so easy for you to encounter and miss.
So nowadays, there are more and more eye-catching examples in the collection industry, but less and less people are hearing about things that are missing.
Li Yang didn't even study calligraphy and painting. Li Yang was too lazy to waste energy and use special abilities to observe. Anyway, he couldn't observe anything.
"Let's go and have a look ahead. You can't rush this kind of thing, just take your time!"
Zheng Kaida walked in the front again. In the end, he didn't mention the calligraphy and painting, but Li Yang already understood that there must be something wrong with the calligraphy and painting, otherwise Zheng Kaida would not have left so happily.
As we walked forward, there were more and more people, and time slowly passed by. After a while, it was already past midnight. The stalls in the ghost market were basically full, and people speaking many dialects were here non-stop.
Bargaining or arguing with buyers is very much like a hodgepodge market.
During this period, Li Yang activated his special abilities twice more. One time he was observing ancient jade, and the other time he was observing a batch of root carvings to see if he had any luck finding any treasures from the root carvings. Naturally, he was completely disappointed.
One thing that caught Li Yang's attention during these two observations was that whether it was ancient jade or root carving, there was a faint yellow halo on the surface, which was the same as the cat's eye diamond he saw before. However, these yellow haloes were not all the same.
There are a few apertures that appear slightly thicker, and several layers can be seen.
Li Yang remembered again that the thirty-odd pieces of ancient jade he had observed for the first time were the same. No matter what the thirty-odd pieces of ancient jade looked like inside, the light yellow halo on the outside all behaved the same, they were all thin.
layer.
Whether it is a single layer or multiple layers of light yellow aperture, it can only be seen with Li Yang's special ability. Only with special ability can he tell that there are layers in the middle of this light yellow aperture. Those thin layers
The layers were thinner than hair. If it weren't for the unusual clarity of the three-dimensional view and Li Yang's careful observation, Li Yang would have almost ignored it.
Li Yang was thinking about whether there was any connection between these aperture levels. Wu Xiaoli and Zheng Kaida suddenly took a fancy to a ceramic horse at the same time. This horse didn't look anything special. Li Yang felt that it was not as good as the big horses at home when he was a child, at least.
It doesn't look as good as the one at home.
"Xiao Li, you take a look first, I'll go to the front!"
Zheng Kaida suddenly laughed. Both of them found that the other was interested in this item, and Zheng Kaida took the initiative to make concessions.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zheng. I'll look for you later when I see it!"
Wu Xiaoli is not polite. This ceramic horse is really good, and Wu Xiaoli has basically seen that it is an authentic Tang Sancai. She finally encountered an old object that caught her eye tonight.
