Three-eighty-five Blood Jade
More than an hour later, Li Tian took the bus to the subway to Shenzhen's largest antique city. He has lived in this city for so long, and it is the first time he has come here, because he has always been a low-income person, and the place of luxury jewelry like Antique City is really not a place for people like him to consume.
Along the way, Li Tian carried the wallet that Lin Qian gave him, although she didn't tell herself how much money was in these cards, did she have a credit card, but how much did she swipe? But Li Tian knew that this was by no means a small amount, and it was also Lin Qian's net worth.
Entering the antique city, Li Tian walked towards the largest and most luxurious store in it.
"First ......" heard someone enter the store, and the salesperson who was sitting inside chatting hurriedly stood up to say hello, but as soon as he saw the person who came in dressed as a security guard, he returned to his seat and continued their conversation.
Li Tian couldn't talk about being angry at their contempt, after all, even he himself had never thought about what he would come back here to buy in his lifetime! Li Tian looked around carefully, hoping to find what he was looking for.
The chatting salesmen glanced at Li Tian, who was watching the antiques, from time to time, and looked attentive, and finally a slightly older salesman muttered to other colleagues: "It's like 2580,000 yuan!
"Hahaha......"
"Hehehe......"
"I can't pretend to understand if I don't understand?......"
Since it was still morning, there was no one here, and this shop was only a customer of Li Tian, so they dared to speak so unscrupulously.
At this time, Li Tian also took a look at almost the goods in the entire store: not to mention, the things in this store are really complete, antiques and jade, ceramic carvings, calligraphy and paintings are all dazzling. But no matter how complete their things are, they don't have what Li Tianxiang likes. So, Li Tian walked out amid their taunts and turned around and walked towards another shop.
In the antique city of nearly 3,000 square meters, Li Tian walked around for three hours, but there was no object suitable for him. At this time, almost everyone had already had lunch, and Li Tian saw an old gentleman in a calligraphy and painting shop, holding a purple teapot, spreading out a roll of rice paper, grinding ink, and began to paint.
And the old gentleman seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, so he raised his head and saw Li Tian who happened to walk to the door. Li Tian nodded at the old gentleman, and was about to leave, but heard the old gentleman say: "Brother, I see that you have been going back and forth here for a long time! Why is there not a single thing you like in such a big antique city?"
Li Tian smiled slightly and said, "Brother said that I was laughing! I'm just fine, I'm just going around here! I don't buy anything!"
"Ahem!" The old gentleman coughed dryly twice and said: "I am a painter, so I have to observe things more carefully than ordinary people, if you want to say that you are not here to buy things, I don't believe it if you kill me!" Immediately, the old gentleman said with a somewhat depressed expression: "It seems that you are really a big expert, brother!"
"Brother praises it falsely!" Li Tiangang was about to say a few polite words, but he heard the old gentleman say: "Brother doesn't have to be too humble! In fact, there are really few genuine products in this huge antique city!"
It was precisely the speaker who had no intention of listening to the listener that the old gentleman's words woke up Li Tian: Yes! Why are you so confused? In this noisy city, how can you find something spiritual? You are even stupid to find a few magic artifacts in the antique city? What a fantasy novel you have read too much!
"Brother, do you have dansha and gold lacquer so much, can you sell me some?" After thinking about this, Li Tian opened his mouth and asked.
"Dansha and gold lacquer?" The old gentleman who was about to paint put down the brush in his hand, looked at Li Tian puzzled, and said: "Brother, don't pretend to understand! Although the world often says that Buddhism and Taoism are a family, there is still an essential difference between them! I have both of these things here, but I still advise you to choose one of the two!"
Li Tian said with a smile: "I'm just running errands, and I'm just going around in this market to kill time! Brother, let's calculate the price for me! I want all the dansha and gold paint you have here!"
"What?" Li Tian's words surprised the old gentleman! Dansha and gold lacquer are not commonly used by the Dao Buddha family, so many shops hardly have much inventory. The reason why I have these is because I like to write and paint, so why does this old man want so much at once?
Obviously, Li Tian's explanation was not enough to convince the old man, the old man helped his glasses and looked at Li Tian carefully, and soon found that his hips were much more open than normal people, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that this was the result of long-term meditation. The old gentleman frowned and said, "If you can help me slap my eyes, what does it matter if I give you a little dansha and gold paint from the people in my shop?"
Although Li Tian is not short of this money now, it is all Lin Qian's, so when he heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother has any treasures, just take them out, I really don't mind earning this extra money!"
Hearing Li Tian's reply, the old gentleman hurriedly walked into the counter, took out a very exquisite box from under the counter, and then carefully opened the box. Li Tianding looked at it, and there was a blood-red dragon-shaped ancient jade inside.
When the old gentleman cautiously took out the ancient jade and wanted to hand it to Li Tian, Li Tian said with some regret: "Brother, you don't have to take it out! You still have to calculate how much your dansha and gold paint are!"
The old gentleman asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, brother?"
"Brother, this piece of blood jade of yours is a fake!" Li Tian said.
"It's impossible, isn't it?" the old gentleman tried his best to defend: "Although I am not very proficient in jade antiques, I have also been in the antique market for so many years, they shouldn't cheat me, right?"
"Antiques are also things that the wise see and the wise see the benevolent. It's like a painting you paint......" Li Tian didn't want to argue, so he said: "For those you like, it's not too expensive to spend eight thousand; But if I? I'm afraid you give it to me for nothing, and I won't ask for it!"
"You, you ......" The old gentleman was so angry that he pointed at Li Tian and didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said with a suffocated face: "You are also not a big boss! Why can't you say a word? You understand, just explain to me; I don't understand, even if you don't have to, you don't have to bury me like this?"
"Oh~ That's what I'm wrong about!" Li Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Does that brother know the origin of the blood jade?"
"How can I not know this reason?" the old gentleman stroked the beard of his chin and said: "Blood jade is not just that kind of jade, but refers to the jade that has penetrated the blood, whether it is jade, Khotan, or topaz and other categories, as long as it is really penetrated with blood, it is blood jade." ”
"It is said that the formation of blood jade is related to the corpse, when the person is buried, as the jade of the jade, is forcibly stuffed into the population, if the person just died, the jade swallowed in one breath was stuffed in, it will fall into the throat with the gas, enter the dense blood vessels, and stay for thousands of years, the dead blood is stained, and the blood will go straight to the heart of the jade, and it will form a gorgeous blood jade. ”
"This kind of thing often falls on the skull's swallow, and it is the most precious of all the corpses. Prices can range from a few thousand to a million. Therefore, the pseudo-merchant also uses a similar natural means to make blood jade. ”
"Well, I know a lot!" Li Tian nodded.
"That's it!" The old gentleman said smugly: "Think about it, I've been in this antique city for most of my life, and I know all the things by just listening!"
"Really, do you know how these fake blood jades are made?"
In order to prove that he was not a white-necked child, and that his blood jade was by no means a fake, the old gentleman boasted: "Of course I know! In ancient times, the builder always stuffed some jade into the dog's mouth, and then sealed its mouth, and after the dog was choked to death, the bones were buried in the ground. If you dig it again after a few decades, you can get the blood jade. Of course, whether it is human blood or dog blood, it is more psychic (human is better), and dog blood jade has resentment condensed in it, which is not good for the wearer; There is also a kind of blood jade that uses high-quality Xinjiang white jade, buried under the skin of the lamb, so that the blood penetrates deep into the jade, and then takes it out after a few years, this kind of jade is also expensive, and it is rare on the market. ”
"Although these blood jades you said are not as spiritual as the blood jade taken from the dead, it can't be said that they are not blood jades, at most they can only be said to be of bad quality!
"Oh! You're right! But I'm not done yet!" The old gentleman defended: "These are some tricks of some mercenary people in ancient times! Modern people's counterfeiting skills are much higher than theirs: most of the blood jade on the market today is obtained by artificial dyeing, and such jade cannot be called blood jade at all! Because they have no spirituality at all. ......”
Speaking of this, the old gentleman suddenly saw Li Tianyan looking at him without blinking and nodded, so he immediately understood something, and asked eagerly: "You, you, are you saying that this piece of blood jade of mine is artificially dyed?"
Li Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know if this piece of blood jade of yours is artificially dyed! But on this piece of blood jade of yours, I can't feel any spiritual power at all!"
"What?" Hearing Li Tian's words, the old gentleman felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't plant on the ground. If Li Tian said the truth from the texture of the jade, maybe he didn't believe it much, but Li Tian explained it from the spiritual power, and he also found that this person's hip was different from ordinary people, so he wanted him to give him a palm.
After a period of dizziness, he suddenly realized a lot: Could it be that this person is really a person who has attained the Dao? The reason why he spent a lot of money to buy this piece of blood jade before was precisely because he wanted to discover some supernatural things from it?
