A hot pot restaurant in Dongsi was full of diners. The steam in the hot pot filled the air, and the sounds of changing cups and drinking cups could be heard all the time.
We found an empty table in the corner and sat down. Da Jinya kept pouring wine for me. I thought to myself that this guy wanted to get me drunk and set me up, so I quickly stopped him: Mr. Jin, this Erguotou is so powerful.
It's too strong. I'm not a big fan, so I'd better have a beer.
While we were eating and talking, the topic came up about the fight. Big Gold Tooth grinned, tapped his own gold tooth with his fingertips, and said to us: You two are very interested, this gold tooth is
I collected them in Panjiayuan. I dug them out of the tomb and pulled them out from the mouth of the rice dumplings. I was not willing to sell them, so I pulled out my own teeth and replaced them.
This person is really serious. He said this during a meal and refused to let others eat it. If you don’t want to spend money, why don’t you just say it? The more I think about what he said, the more disgusting it becomes. I quickly changed the subject and asked
He talked about other things.
Money is more important than slaves, and art is more important than being a traveler. We casually chatted about the secrets of Feng Shui tombs, and talked about our deeds as engineers in the Kunlun Mountains. The big gold tooth was amazed and admired me.
Before Da Jinya's father was captured by the Kuomintang, he was an apprentice to a master of fighting from Hunan named Cai. He knew a lot about the business of digging graves, but he didn't learn the skills of searching. Because his master, Mr. Cai,
They themselves did not understand the art of Feng Shui. It was only after 12 years of the Republic of China that Luoyang farmer Li Yaya understood the Luoyang shovel. Before that, the Luoyang shovel had not become popular. They mainly used their noses to smell. In order to maintain the sensitivity of their noses, they
Avoid tobacco, alcohol and spicy food.
Use an iron drill to drive into the ground, then pull it out and smell it with your nose. The iron drill brings up various smells from the underground soil, and the feel of the soil when digging. The ground is empty, or there is wood or masonry. These feel
It's definitely different.
In fact, the principle of digging soil with a Luoyang shovel is similar, except that one uses the nose to smell, and the other uses the eyes to see. The soil brought up by the Luoyang shovel can be used to check the composition of the underground soil. If there are any pieces of porcelain, wood, or cloth,
Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, mercury and lead, including rammed earth, bricks and tiles, etc., are all proof that there are tombs underground. These clues can be used to infer the age and layout of the underground tombs.
However, Wentu's craft was lost when it reached Dayjinya. His father's legs were disabled and he had congenital asthma since he was a child, so he stopped doing gold-touching. Generally speaking, people who work in this industry have never seen him.
Shao Zhendong, with this little bit of vision, started an antique business.
I jokingly said that your ancestor's skills were a bit trendy. I heard the elders in my family said something about inverted fighting. Real masters don't use iron shovels. Those are all stupid moves. People who are capable can do it.
If you take a quick look at a place, you will know whether there is an ancient tomb underground, where it is buried, and what structure it is. These can be seen at a glance. Any place with excellent Feng Shui must have a large tomb.
They are not ordinary people. This kind of tomb is full of treasures. The real experts will disdain those things shoveled in Luoyang, because if the underground soil is not dry enough, the effect will be greatly reduced, especially in those wealthy places in the south of the Yangtze River, where the rainfall is
Many ancient tombs were flooded by groundwater, and the underground soil was washed away into a mess.
Da Jinya listened to what I said and praised me even more: Mr. Hu, I am convinced. As the saying goes, you will die if you hear the truth in the morning. After listening to your lofty words, I am convinced.
I have lived such a long life in vain. Talents like you who not only understand Feng Shui, but also worked as engineers and understand civil engineering operations are really rare and hard to find. With your ability, it would be a pity not to be a gold captain.
I shook my head and said: I don't intend to do that kind of immoral thing. What I just said was told by my grandfather. He also did the job of touching the gold captain, but he almost died when he ran into a big rice dumpling.
catch up.
Da Jinya said that there was definitely a risk, and he wouldn't be afraid of a few black donkey hooves. Moreover, as the saying goes, thieves have their own ways, and the reputation of back-fighting is not good. It is all because of some low-life thieves.
They are corrupt, they are not in this industry to begin with, they don’t know the rules, and they act destructively everywhere. How can they not be hated by people? The history of back-and-forth fighting can be traced back to more than three thousand years ago.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had an army that excavated treasures from ancient tombs to pay for the army. This is how we got the nickname "Mojin Xiaowei".
Before the liberation, this industry was divided into four sects: southeast, northwest and northwest. By the 1980s, the talent had withered and there were not many people left. The few remaining people also gave up their jobs. The juniors now,
They are all idle men from the countryside, who go to dig graves in groups. They don’t know how to pick up the best of both worlds. The rules of three incense, three bows, blowing the lamp and touching gold are all ruined in their hands.
Up.
Da Jinya sighed for a while, and then said to us: I have been messing around in Panjiayuan for many years. If you two come up with something good in the future, I can be responsible for contacting the buyer for you. You can go and negotiate in person, and the negotiation will be successful.
I'll just click on it.
The fat man had been busy eating and drinking. At this time, he was about 80% full. Suddenly he remembered something, so he took out the piece of jade and asked the big gold tooth to appraise it to see how much it was worth.
The big gold tooth looked at it, then put it to his nose and smelled it a few times: Fatty, this piece of jade is really good. It is at least a thousand years old, maybe even earlier. It should be from before the Tang Dynasty. The words above
It's not in Chinese, and I can't tell what it is. It must be worth a lot of money, but before you can judge the specific value, you'd better keep it and don't sell it, otherwise you may suffer a big loss. Where is this piece of jade?
Earned
The fat man became interested when he talked about the history of his family: If you want to talk about the origin, it's a child without a mother. It's a long story. Let me tell you this. This piece of jade was given to my father by his old comrades when he participated in the jute riots.
, my father’s old comrade-in-arms was the No. 1 Commander of the Wild Division. When he led the troops into Xinjiang, his troops encountered a group of bandits. These bandits were also looking for death. The guard regiment around the No. 1 Commander of the People’s Liberation Army could
Are they for work? In less than five or six minutes, all the bandits No. 100 were wiped out. When cleaning the battlefield, I found this piece of jade on one of the bandit leaders. The No. 1 commander gave it to my father as a souvenir.
I don’t know what happened to this jade going forward.
We kept drinking until after twelve o'clock in the evening before we parted. When we were leaving, Big Gold Tooth gave each of us a hook-like thing. This thing was more than an inch long, black and shiny, extremely hard, and had two inscriptions on it.
The shape of the seal character looks like the word "touch gold". This object is very old and looks like an ancient relic. It has a hole punched at one end and is threaded with red silk thread. It can be hung around the neck as an ornament. The big gold tooth said: Our buddies
We felt like old friends at first sight. These two are amulets made of pangolin paws. I leave you both with a thought. Come to Panjiayuan to see me when you have time. The green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. We will see you later. Book Alliance
