15. Coarse Porcelain Bowl

Two days have passed and it’s the 13th.

Su Wu was so busy these two days that he only had time to simulate a few times in the evening.

In the simulated future, he tried to use only the Imperial Bell to escape the pursuit of the Shadow Slayer, and finally succeeded and mastered this method proficiently.

Every subsequent simulation starts from the small temple archive and explores outwards.

But every time he couldn't go far, his body and head would be separated under the light of a red lantern, and he would die unexpectedly.

In fact, as long as you are within the sphere of influence of the lantern, you will most likely be killed when the red lantern appears, even if you are not exposed to the red light.

The owner of the grocery store was hiding in a dark hut, unable to escape the fate of being separated from his body;

Su Wu hid in a basement for half an hour, but could not avoid being killed.

This is the horror of random killings.

There is no pattern at all.

Just like rolling a dice, people never know what number they will get next time, whether it will be life or death?

If you cannot grasp the rules, you will not be able to respond effectively.

Fortunately, Su Wu could stay in the small temple.

He speculated that the main reason for his survival in the temple was the flame burning on the lampstand in the temple.

The next time he enters the simulation, Su Wu is going to use a candle to continue the flames in the temple. He tries to hold the candle and walk within the lantern's influence. Can he avoid being killed?

Before that, he had to prepare as much as possible in reality to deal with the strange recovery two days later.

Su Wu has been busy these two days just to deal with future crises.

It was only today that he had some free time and thought of visiting this most famous antique market in Mingzhou City.

With your talent of being possessed by a blue koi, see if you can find one or two mysterious items.

Mysterious items do not necessarily have the function of restraining weirdness.

However, some items are relics of their original owners. By purchasing such items, Su Wu can take the opportunity to explore the past life of the original owner.

He wandered around the street stalls.

From time to time, I pick up things on the stalls and ask them what era they are from and how much they cost.

The replies I got either said that the things were from the 'War-Han' period, or that they were from the 'Han-Tang' period. Ming and Qing dynasties are very rare.

The stall owners' quotations also ranged from 3 million to 320,000.

After wandering around for a while, Su Wu finally squatted down in front of a stall.

On the stall were several poorly made snuff bottles, a row of copper-nickel alloy silver ingots, two tokens with the words "Jinyiwei" written on them, and other items.

Su Wu first picked up the Jinyiwei token placed next to a coarse porcelain bowl and played with it for a while. His hands were stained with a layer of rusty dust. He rubbed his hands and asked the stall owner: "How much does this token cost?"

"Five thousand!" The stall owners here always dare to quote.

Rubbing the token in his hand, more rusty dust stained his palm.

Su Wu threw down the token: "Is this five thousand?"

Afterwards, he rummaged through a few more things at the stall, asked the stall owner one by one for their prices, and finally picked up the coarse porcelain bowl at hand.

The porcelain bowl was poorly made, with a pattern painted on it that looked like a fish.

The colors of the pattern are blurred and exceed the boundaries of the lines.

This kind of porcelain bowl is just used as a dog bowl for dogs, and dogs may not be happy to use it.

"How much does the bowl cost?" Su Wu asked the stall owner while holding the bowl.

The stall owner sat on a horse and glanced at the rough porcelain bowl in Su Wu's hand. The old god said: "Let me give you five hundred for this. It's a modern thing..."

"You still need five hundred for this?" Su Wu shook his head, put down the bowl, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then how much did you say? You have to quote a price, right?" The stall owner stopped him and asked.

Su Wu turned around and stretched out a hand to him, with his fingers spread out.

"Fifty? This..." The stall owner's eyes flashed, but he hadn't finished his sentence yet.

Then Su Wu interrupted: "Five dollars!"

"No, no, five yuan is too little. I can't sell it. I can't sell it."

"Hey, how about you add another five yuan? If you add five more yuan, you can take this bowl away. It's such an old thing!"

"If I hadn't seen this bowl as unique, I wouldn't have bought it. The maximum price is eight yuan. Do you want to sell it?"

"Sell!"

For eight yuan, Su Wu bought a coarse porcelain bowl.

He had walked past this stall before and felt that the porcelain bowl was inexplicably attractive to him, but he resisted the urge to buy it on the spot.

Even if he returned to this stall later, he would first find a few items and ask for prices, thus concealing his true intentions.

If you pick up the bowl and say you want to buy this, then the bowl in the stall owner's mouth may not be just a modern object.

If it weren't for the fact that the porcelain of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was rarely very primitive, the other party might have been able to say that this bowl was from that time!

After packing the porcelain bowl, Su Wu left the antique market.

He took a taxi to the street in front of Ping'an Garden, got off the car, and walked along the street. He had memorized the locations of most supermarkets and food stores on both sides of the street.

The cake shop called "Palace Pastries" is not open today.

Next to this cake shop, there is no shadow of a small temple.

But in the future, there will indeed be a temple next to the cake shop.

Su Wu had rented a small utility room behind the cake shop in advance and put a batch of compressed biscuits, instant noodles, ham sausages, drinking water and other supplies in it.

At that time, he can quickly transfer the supplies from the utility room to the small temple, reducing the risk of being killed by the lantern trick when exposed.

Su Wu walked around the corner of the street and walked along the branch road towards Ping'an Garden.

At this time, his cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated several times.

Take out your mobile phone, and it will display a message: Your account with the last number 6239 completed a transfer transaction of 1643072.56 at 9:43 on April 13, with a balance of 1649321.86.

When their parents passed away, they left two apartments to Su and Wu.

A house in his hometown, the capital of Pingyuan County, was prepared for his future development in the capital. Su Wu's family rarely lived there.

The strangeness is about to revive. Su Wu plans to return to his hometown to live in his hometown after escaping from Mingzhou City. It is impossible to run between the capital and his hometown anymore.

I don’t know what the real estate market will be like at that time. If something strange happens, it will inevitably plummet.

So Su Wu chose to sell the house in the provincial capital in advance.

It's hard to sell the property now, so he sold it after lowering the price.

The money finally arrived, and Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

He has spent a lot of his savings in the past few days, most of which were used to buy gold, and a small part to buy grain. He asked his hometown boy to store the grain at home, and the gold was stored in a rented house.

After all, tens of thousands of dollars can't buy much gold.

This gold may become hard currency in the future.

Now that the money has arrived, Su Wu will continue to buy a batch of physical gold and store it. In the foreseeable future, with the revival of weirdness, various antique cultural relics may also be accompanied by weirdness.

Collectors may then rush to sell.

At that time, even if the currency depreciates, gold should still be strong.

He can use this gold to buy antiquities that he couldn't buy before!

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times!
