The grudge that existed in Ye Yufei's heart was not because of me, but because of Ye Yumeng's death. The pain of losing her loved ones made her subjectively unable to easily accept me as the biggest suspect.
But in fact, she also had a stronghold in her heart, and what Si Weiyu did was destined to lose people's hearts.
"The poison you have been poisoned is very dangerous. If you go wrong at the slightest mistake, it will invade the internal organs. If it is a quarter of an hour later, even Daluo Jinxian will be unable to save you." Si Weiqi said, "However, because you have a good physique, after taking the antidote, it will be basically
It’s nothing serious.”
"But my stomach hurts..."
"Don't scare me, how could it happen?" I was a little surprised, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen. Is it because the poison hasn't been detoxified yet?"
"This is a normal phenomenon. You may have abdominal pain in the past few days. Just rest assured and take care of yourself."
"Si Weiyu didn't get rid of me, she will definitely make another move next." Ye Yufei said cautiously, "There is no point in saving me."
"You worry too much!" I didn't take it seriously at all, "First of all, the person Si Weiyu will target next will never be you, but me, because I have what she wants in my hands. Secondly,
Si Weiyu is not stupid enough to openly rob someone. It will do her no good to go to such trouble, unless she has some vital points in your hands. But from what I know about her, this person will never give you such a chance.
of!"
I pretended to cry out.
Sure enough, Ye Yufei lowered her head and said: "You are right, I am just a pawn in her hands. My death is not important at all."
"Just take good care of yourself. It's safe here."
"Since we saved you, we will take care of you to the end!"
Hearing what Si Weiqi said, Ye Yufei looked at each other and said in surprise: "You...you...why do you want to save me? I'm obviously your enemy?"
"An enemy of an enemy is a friend."
"Okay!" Ye Yufei nodded, and it seemed like she had agreed to stand on the same side as us, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"Since you came to me on your own initiative, you must know something?" I said straight to the point, "Did Si Weiyu know what I had in my hand?"
"Yes, you have been targeted since you came out of the ancient tomb. Later, when you went to meet the people of Wumai, you were all under her control."
"In this case, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I brought something out from the ancient tomb, which is a corpse jade bracelet. This bracelet is extremely rare. Even people with five veins can only
I can give you a rough idea, but its origin still needs to be examined in detail.”
"Where is the Longling silk book?"
"The silk book has been destroyed."
"What?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is true."
The next day, Mr. Liu sent someone to send a message, saying that we can go to Liulichang to find someone. He is also a member of the Five Meridians, but his family fortune is not big, and he has been considered a middle-aged man by this time. It is said that,
He may know some details.
There is a row of blue and gray shops along the wall of the antique shop, all with a window and door layout. The inside is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room is stocked with goods, and the inside room is a seating area. Only customers who are doing big business will be invited in to have a cup of tea.
Talk. Every household hangs a gold plaque above it, and some even hang a disguise. Compared with the street stalls, this place is relatively high-end and more formal. There are fewer idle people, and most of the people coming and going are professional collectors or traders.
I straightened my collar and strolled around. Those shop owners were also jealous. Once they saw my appearance and talked a few words, they knew I was
My colleagues didn’t want to coax me, so they didn’t greet me as warmly as they did with Bang Chui, but let me watch as I pleased.
The restaurant recommended by Mr. Liu is called "Yishufang". It has an apricot-yellow pick at the door, which looks a bit like a country tavern. When I entered the store, the boss was dozing against the wall. We chatted briefly, and the boss let him go.
I watched randomly around the house.
I looked around on the shelves, but there was nothing particularly worth buying. I looked around as a habit, and suddenly found that there were no doors in the inner and outer rooms, only a curtain hanging, and the curtain only blocked the upper half. I
After getting a little shorter, I could see the scene in the back room from below.
There was something dark lying next to the sofa in the back room. I took a closer look and saw that it was actually two Buddha heads, and I immediately became somewhat interested.
"Boss, can I see the Buddha's top?"
When the boss heard my question, he said "Oh", turned around and went into the back room, and soon came out holding two stone Buddha heads.
This Buddha head is that of Sakyamuni Buddha. It is not big, about the size of a child's head, and its style is typical of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The Buddha's head has a spiral high bun, a high nose, big ears, plump lips and wide cheeks, and two long eyes with high corners.
, pupils looked down. I touched the face of the Buddha's head with my hands. The stone was blue and had many natural cracks. It seemed that it had experienced many years of wind and rain, and moss marks could even be seen in the cracks.
"Boss, who and where did you get this?" I asked.
"Collected by the Sun family in Anhui. Late Tang Dynasty goods. Absolutely authentic."
The so-called Sun family does not really buy it from people named Sun, but the incisions in antique shops. Antiques collected from local people's homes are called Sun family; they are bought from customers who enter the store.
, asked the Zang family to collect it; I personally dug it from the grave in the ground, and asked the Tong family to collect it. These are all old words. As for why these three surnames were chosen as lingo, no one can explain clearly.
To identify a Buddha head, in addition to the style of the Buddha statue and the texture of the stone, the most important thing is to look at the fracture on its neck. From the shape of the fracture, we can roughly infer the posture of the Buddha statue. And the fracture on the neck of this Buddha head
It is very flat, with only a long and narrow shallow groove on the right side. The color of the stone skin is slightly different from that of other parts. This shows that the person who stole the Buddha is very skillful. He used a special shovel to shovel from the right side of the neck of the Buddha statue and wedge it in all at once.
After digging into the stone neck and gently lifting it, the entire Buddha head was chiseled off.
"How much does this Buddha's head cost? I'll take it."
"Not for sale."
"Not selling?" I was stunned, "How can I open my business and not sell it? Tell me, why don't you sell it to me?"
"If you can tell which of these two Buddha heads is real and which is fake, I won't take any money from you. If you can't tell, then I won't do this business."
I looked him up and down and thought: "He is indeed a person from the Five Meridians. He is really unusual."
So I took the Buddha's head and glanced at the new crack behind the Buddha's head. My heart suddenly suddenly jumped. Then I put my eyes in front of the crack on the Buddha's head and took a closer look, and then sniffed. "This must be a fake."
of."
The boss also frowned: "Why do you see that?"
"If you want to prove the authenticity, there is a way, but this method is irreversible. Once this method is adopted, the Buddha head will be destroyed. If I make a mistake, boss, don't feel bad?"
The boss looked me over and said with a smile: "I can't tell you have some ability. I know what you want to say. In that case, I won't bother you."
In fact, there is an extremely rare technique for forging Buddha heads, called the Mao Tuo method. There is a kind of stone called Mao Shi, which has a soft texture, strong plasticity, and is easy to change color, so it is especially suitable for replicas.
The Buddha head is also made old, which can imitate the moss pattern and weathered pattern so vividly that it is extremely difficult to distinguish. However, the Mao Tuo method also has an obvious flaw, that is, the stone. The relatively hard sandstone Buddha head falls to the ground.
It is torn into pieces; and a fake carved using the Mao rubbing method will break into dozens of pieces with obtuse edges when dropped to the ground.
"Little brother, if I guess correctly, you should be a distinguished guest from Yuling, right?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Liu recommends you to me. I came here to visit you today."
"Mr. Liu told me that you have encountered a difficult matter recently."
"Exactly."
"Well, I feel ashamed to say it. Although I am a member of the Five Meridians, I am not very talented and knowledgeable. Mr. Liu recommended me. I am on pins and needles. I am afraid I can't be of much help to you. Besides, your Longgutang is dealing in antiques.
We are all here together, what is it that can cause you difficulties?"
"Corpse Jade Bracelet, I wonder if you know about it."
When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said sternly: "We in Wumai have a family motto: never fake, treat others with sincerity. So there is not even a single fake in my shop - at least I choose based on my eyesight.
There are no fakes.”
"What do you mean by that?" I was a little surprised. I felt that what he said was a bit out of line, as if he was not on the same channel.
"To be honest, I do know something about this corpse jade bracelet. This bracelet suddenly appeared twenty years ago. It was unique at the time."
"Did this bracelet cause any uproar back then?"
"On the contrary, this thing disappeared immediately after it came out and has never been circulated on the market."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Removing the false and preserving the true is the purpose of Wumai. However, because of this bracelet, differences have arisen within Wumai." I can probably guess this. Wumai is an authoritative treasure appraisal institution. If it also makes fakes, wouldn't it mean that it is self-inflicted?
Have you become a judge? Furthermore, people who appraise antiques must be familiar with counterfeiting techniques. If they become interested in forgery, the harm will be endless. Therefore, good treasure appraisers will never dare to do so.
The word "fake" - just one mistake can completely destroy the brand.
"Get rid of the fake and keep the real? Is this bracelet fake?"
"No."
"The more you talk, the more confused I become. What does this mean?"
"Truth means telling the truth, and falsehood means telling lies. However, sometimes truth and lies are not so simple to judge. We have to lie because of some other factors."
I frowned, not understanding why he suddenly said that.
"Since Mr. Liu recommended you here, it means that he also hopes to have an end to what happened back then."
"What exactly happened back then?"
"Actually, the inside story involved in this matter is very deep. What I know is just some superficial knowledge. Even within Wumai, few people know the details."
"You mean the five meridians are involved?"
"Indeed!"
"..."
When he said this, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"If this ancient corpse jade bracelet is related to the Five Meridians, the story will be much more complicated. More than 20 years ago, this bracelet was born and happened to be in the hands of the Five Meridians. There should be a lot of inside stories behind it that can be unearthed. It is even possible.
