"This should be a painting from the Republic of China. The painter is pretty good, but there is no payment or inscription. It is just a nude painting, so the price is not very high. I wonder if the little brother wants to sell it?" Han Kongque said.
.
"Not worth it?" Money bastard said a little disappointed.
Qian Zhongshu said: "Are you crazy about money? As Mr. Han said, there are no words on it, and it cannot be proved that it is a painting by a famous artist. Do you want Mr. Han to pay a hundred for such a painting?
Want to buy it?"
"Mr. Han, how much money can you offer?" Money bastard said unwillingly.
Since he was very good at painting tigers, Han Peacock really didn't like this painting, but he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers, so he said: "It's been seventy or eighty years, if you want to sell it, I'll give you three thousand!"
"
"Three thousand?" Hunzi Qian was even more disappointed.
"Put it away carefully. The value of this kind of painting may increase in a few years. It's a pity to sell it now. Keep it well! After all, it has been passed down in your family for seventy or eighty years. It's a pity to sell it. It's a pity to keep it.
Think about it." Originally, the money bastard thought that Han Kongque deliberately lowered the price, but when Han Kongque said this, it was obvious that he didn't want the painting.
At this time, the money bastard was in a hurry. Three thousand yuan was not money, was it?
"I sold it for three thousand yuan." Mr. Qian left the scroll in front of Han Peacock and waited to get the money.
Han Peacock was speechless. Han Xing looked at Han Peacock, waiting for instructions.
"Give it to him! It's only three thousand yuan. If the tiger wasn't painted so tenderly, there would be no problem at all selling it for thirty to fifty thousand yuan!" Han Peacock sighed.
When Qian Zhongshu heard Han Peacock's painting, he was also happy: "Don't say that. When you say that, I also look at this tiger and look awkward. Look at this tiger's eyes, are they smiling? This
The painting is truly amazing.”
Han Kongque sighed: "This painting is really impeccable in terms of painting skills. Even if the brushwork is still a little immature, it can still be seen that the author is extraordinary. But is this how the tiger descends the mountain is painted? So gentle
A tiger with a smile in its eyes, this is so cute!"
"Huh? This painting is interesting! Whose painting is this? Is it yours? Someone in your family has been sick all year round, right? However, judging from the fact that this tiger has no evil spirit, although the patient is weak, it is not fatal."
I don't know when, Li Xin walked into the yard gracefully.
"Ah? Master Li? How do you know that Hunzi Qian's grandfather is not in good health? You are truly a master. Ever since I can remember, Hunzi Qian's grandfather has been very sick. But he is still alive and well now.
Do you think it's strange?" Qian Zhongshu asked.
"That's right, your family has never produced a general, right?" Li Xin looked at Qian Hunzi and said.
Qian Hunzi was a little embarrassed, Qian Zhongshu said: "His family has eight generations of poor peasants. There is no way he can produce a general."
Although they are both from the same family, they have been blessed by the Five Blessings for a long time. Therefore, although they are both from the Qian family, their relationship has become very estranged. After all, the Qian family has reproduced here for more than three hundred years and has been passed down for more than ten generations.
Yes, some of the family relationships are already very distant.
"We have never had a general in our family, as if you are very honorable? Isn't our family's surname Qian?" Bastard Qian quit.
"Okay, you don't want to know why your grandpa is weak? You know, in the homes of ordinary people, tigers can be killed when they climb up the mountain, but when they come down the mountain, ordinary people cannot hold them down.
The picture of going down the mountain is suitable for the homes of officials and yamen, especially the homes of military generals. If such a picture is hung in the homes of ordinary people, they may be plagued by illnesses all year round, or suffer from accidental injuries, often lose money, and have unhappiness every year due to financial stress.
It's something." Li Xin interrupted them.
"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed, even Han Peacock was no exception. He really didn't know that pictures of tigers descending from the mountain were usually not allowed to be hung. You know, he had one in his hand, and he still wanted to hang it at home!
It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. No one can find discomfort on his own.
Qian Hunzi said: "Ci'ao, my parents are fighting every day! Grandpa is sick every day, and my parents are fighting every day because they are poor. It turns out it's all because of this painting. Fortunately, I sold him."
Just now, I felt a little unwilling because I had sold three thousand yuan, but now I heard from Li Xin that the money bastard seemed to have seen the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain and wanted to bite someone, so he hurried away and stayed away until he got the three thousand yuan.
He ran away immediately. He was deeply afraid that Han Kongque would regret it.
"This kid? I haven't finished speaking yet? You see, this tiger coming down the mountain doesn't have any murderous intent at all. Although it has collided with people, it shouldn't be too powerful." After the money bastard ran away, Li Xin added
road.
Han Peacock couldn't help but smile even more bitterly at this time. I really don't know what the use of keeping such a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain is, but I think there should be no problem in putting it in a museum. After all, the painter is displaying it there!
Although this tiger looks a bit ridiculous, if you look at it as a cartoon, it is still very cute. I think some little girls will like it after seeing it.
Li Xin said: "You don't want to eat? What time is it?"
"Oh! You see, I was so excited that I forgot about eating. We are going to eat right now. Fortunately, I have made arrangements. Today we will eat pan catfish for lunch. The catfish native to our reservoir is absolutely clean." Qian.
Plant a tree path.
Catfish is rich in nutrients and contains a variety of minerals and trace elements. Because it is a carnivorous fish, the meat quality is particularly good and the taste is better. However, it is now farmed too much and the food it feeds is even more dirty, so outside, it is really
No one dared to eat it.
During the meal, Han Kongque saw Han Xing's classmates. They were all young people. When they saw Han Kongque, they were very reserved. Han Kongque just nodded to them briefly and followed Qian Zhongshu to another room.
Have dinner there.
This is a farm restaurant. Although it is not big, it is very clean. It serves farm dishes, especially the iron pot catfish, which is very authentic. Korean Peacock was full of praise for the food.
There are specialties in the art, and practice makes perfect. Even if the restaurant is small, if you can grasp the key points and make the same dish, the business will still be prosperous.
Since Han Kongque didn't drink, everyone ate quickly. After eating, Han Kongque said, "Han Xing, what do your classmates think?"
Han Xing said: "Many have agreed to join our company, but should we let them join our consulting company?"
"Well, let them follow you first. When our research institute comes down, we will transfer you all to the Archaeological Research Institute." Han Kongque said.
After a brief exchange with Han Xing, Han Kongque stopped talking and started talking about other things with Li Xin and Qian Zhongshu.
At this time, Qian Da, who was sitting at the table with them, spoke: "Boss, the water plant found something when they were cleaning the Zhenshui Temple."
"Did you find something?" Han Kongque was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Li Xin was very interested and said: "What did you find? Is it an ancient tomb?"
"Ancient tomb? No, it's just a darkroom. But the darkroom has been destroyed. There is nothing in it. There are just some words carved on some stones. I know the boss likes stone carvings, so I told him." Qian Dadao.
Qian Zhongshu said at this time: "I know the darkroom under Zhenshui Temple. I often played there when I was a child. I heard that when my ancestors moved here to live, there was a stone house there.
Later, when building Zhenshui Temple, the land needed to be leveled, so the stone house was buried underground. The stone house you found must be that stone house. It was later enclosed in a dark room by the Taoists of Zhenshui Temple.
It was a stone house made of hollowed-out stone. When we were children, we often climbed on the stone roof to play. If this is what we found, there should be nothing precious about it."
"Where are those handwritings? Can you recognize them? Are they the same as the handwritings on the stone tablet I bought from you?" Han Kongque said.
Qian Da touched his head and said, "Those handwritings were buried under earth and rocks. We didn't clean them up, and we didn't recognize what the handwriting was."
At this time Qian Zhongshu spoke again: "If you are right, it should be the words "Long Live Chairman Mao." I know that the inside and outside of the stone house were carved with such slogans during special periods. If there are no accidents, it should be these.
Character."
Han Kongque was speechless. He originally thought it was an ancient inscription like the inscription on the jade tablet they bought! He didn't expect it to be a slogan praising Grandpa Mao.
"It's not an ancient tomb! I thought there was some strange discovery!" Not only Han Kongque was disappointed, but Li Xin was also disappointed.
Han Kongque became energetic at this time. He said to Li Xin: "Why do you think there is an ancient tomb over there? Is the Feng Shui of Zhenshui Temple so good?"
"That's of course. There is a large Feng Shui cave over there, and all the dragon veins around it are concentrated at the Zhenshui Temple. If there are people buried here, they must be buried at the Zhenshui Temple." Li Xin said.
Han Kongque said: "This is impossible! The Qian family moved here more than 300 years ago and built Zhenshui Temple. That place belongs to them. It is impossible for their family to let outsiders bury people on their land."
"You have preconceptions, why isn't someone from the Qian family buried there? If the Qiandi Golden Dragon had not been destroyed at that time, it is impossible that no one would have discovered such a dragon lair. Also, if the ancestors of the Qian family had not discovered anything,
How is it possible to move here and settle down?" Li Xin said.
"Is there really an ancient tomb? And it is the tomb of the ancestors of the Qian family?" Han Peacock looked at Qian Zhongshu and asked.
Qian Zhongshu said: "I have never heard that anyone from our Qian family is buried on the hilltop where Zhenshui Temple is located. Not only has it not happened before, but even in the future, no one from our Qian family will be buried near here. Our Qian family
My family’s cemetery is on the south side of the village, and there is no cemetery on the north side of the village.”
"This is definitely not normal. If you have just moved here and haven't noticed that the Feng Shui pattern here is fine, but in the future, the descendants of the Qian family will have to hire a Feng Shui master no matter whether they choose a yin house or a yang house.
Even if some Feng Shui masters are Xibei people who sell dog meat to others, it is impossible to hire unlearned and unskilled people for hundreds of years, right?
As long as one person sees it, the Qian family will not be able to choose such a good tomb and bury their ancestors in the south of the village." Li Xindao.
Han Kongque also realized at this time that the art of Feng Shui has been passed down from generation to generation. Since Li Xin can see and think about it, then the original Feng Shui master can naturally also see it.
In this way, there is really a problem in this area where no one is buried.
Li Xin looked at Han Kongque thoughtfully, and said again: "So there is only one problem here. Some people don't want to destroy the Feng Shui pattern on the north side of Qianjiajiao, so they stipulated that no one can be buried in the north. Village Chief Qian, don't you know?
Does the Qian family have such a rule?"
Qian Zhongshu was dumbfounded and said: "Our Qian family really has such a rule. Although it is not like what you said, the purpose is the same. The rules passed down by our Qian family ancestors must be followed by all Qian clan members.
In the family cemetery.
No one can be buried in the north of the village because it affects the feng shui of our Qian family, so outsiders can't be buried there either.
Even during the War of Liberation, many martyrs died in the war there and were hastily buried in the ravine. Later, my father took people to find them one by one and buried them next to our family cemetery. The tombstones of those martyrs are still there.
exist."
Li Xindao: "That's right. If I guessed correctly, there should be a large tomb under the hilltop where Zhenshui Temple is located."
"Ah!" Several people working on it exclaimed.
"Actually, the thing is very obvious. If there is nothing special, how could the Qian family build a Taoist temple there? Especially the stone house, which should be used by the tombkeepers and is a sacrificial object similar to stone carvings." Li Xindao.
The expressions of Qian Zhongshu and Qian Da kept changing. After a while, Qian Zhongshu said to Han Kongque: "Mr. Han, I hope my ancestors will not be disturbed."
Han Kongque immediately said: "That's no problem. Without your consent, I won't excavate an inch of soil at Zhenshui Temple at will. Besides, when the water plant is built in the future, there will definitely be many people working in your village. If
If there is any unusual movement, the people in your village will definitely know it immediately, so you can rest assured."
As soon as Han Kongque expressed his determination, Li Xin smiled: "Village Chief Qian, actually you don't have to worry at all. If we are wrong, the ancient tomb should have been tampered with, and more than one group of people have tampered with it."
"Ah? Has it been touched?" Qian Zhongshu screamed.
Li Xin said affirmatively: "That's for sure. Let's talk about your ancestors first. If the True Water Temple was built to guard tombs and offer sacrifices, they would naturally not give up the True Water Temple to those Taoists who came later.
If your ancestors don’t know or understand the situation, then at least the Taoists of Zhenshui Temple know the situation. They must know the reason why Zhenshui Temple was built, and they must know that there is an ancient tomb under Zhenshui Temple. Otherwise, they would not be able to
Use the Qiandi Golden Dragon to dig out a spiritual spring."
"You mean, even if the ancient tomb was not touched originally, the Taoist priests at Zhenshui Temple must have done so later?" Qian Zhongshu said with an ugly expression.
Li Xindao: "Just looking at the layouts laid out by those Taoists, I know that their attainments in Feng Shui are much higher than mine. If I can see it, they can naturally see it too.
Therefore, it is impossible for any ancient tomb to escape their eyes, and since they have been here for so many years, it is even more impossible for them to remain indifferent to the ancient tombs under their feet.
It’s just that they built a secret room and hid the stone house, so they have discovered the secret passage leading to the ancient tomb, and the secret passage should be in the stone house, or around it.”
"In this case, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we will go take a look. If there is really a passage over there, let's go in and take a look. Anyway, we are the ancestors of the Qian family, and no one can do anything to us." Qian Zhongshu was still very decisive.
of.
If the ancient tomb was not moved, he naturally did not want anyone to disturb the peace of his ancestors, but since it was possible to easily find the passage to the ancient tomb, he might as well go in and take a look himself.
If he still stops him, he can only give Han Kongque an advantage. You must know that the place belongs to Han Kongque now. If he doesn't let others discover it now, Han Kongque will always find a chance to explore it in the future.
If the passage was easy to find and they could enter the ancient tomb without any great effort, then they would not know that Han Peacock had emptied the tombs of their ancestors.
Since it is necessary to excavate the secret room under Zhenshui Temple, it is naturally impossible to keep the secret. Therefore, after Qian Zhongshu made arrangements, the news that the ancient tomb appeared at Zhenshui Temple immediately spread throughout Qianjiajiao Village.
When Han Kongque and his party arrived at Zhenshui Temple, the place was already crowded with people, and unexpectedly, Han Kongque also saw some interesting people.
"Jiang Lin, why are you here?" Han Kongque looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile.
Jiang Lin also smiled and said: "My construction site is over there. There is so much noise here, so I was naturally alerted."
"Huh? Mr. Gao, are you here too?" Han Peacock looked at the tall mountains emerging from behind Jianglin and was immediately surprised.
Gao Dashan said: "This area is now under the jurisdiction of the Magic City. As the director of the Magic City Museum and the president of the Collection Association, if an ancient tomb is discovered here, I will naturally be there."
Han Kongque was speechless, but Qian Zhongshu was not polite at all: "This is not an ownerless ancient tomb, but the cemetery of our ancestors. It is because the ancient tomb was damaged, so we want to know the situation of the damage.
We will fix it if possible."
"Your family's ancestral tomb?" Gao Dashan asked in surprise.
Qian Zhongshu said: "Of course, you don't know that the ownership of this place originally belonged to our Qian family, right? This site also belonged to our family in the past, and now it has been sold to Mr. Han. You said there are
The ancient tomb is not the ancestor of our Qian family, but whose family’s ancestor?”
Gao Dashan said: "This needs to be verified."
"Stop arguing. If I guessed correctly, there should be nothing left in this ancient tomb." Li Xin looked funny, so he directly separated the purpose of the two people's argument. If the ancient tomb was empty, these people
There is no need to fight for sovereignty anymore.
The secret chamber below Zhenshui Temple is not deep, and the earth and rocks above have been cleared a lot, so it can be dug out easily.
In the secret room is the stone house that Qian Zhongshu talked about, and the writing on the stone house was also washed out by the water. It is really the same slogan as Qian Zhongshu said.
"You said there is a passage leading to the ancient tomb?" At this time, everyone was confused, and Qian Zhongshu was no exception.
Han Kongque said: "If there is a mechanism, it can only be in this stone house, but this stone house is so simple, where is the mechanism?" (To be continued...)
