Chapter 3: The Ancient Characters on the Goblet
"The key point is above the Wei in the middle. Wei is both 'wei', and can also be interpreted as status and wealth. You came here because you wanted to get this status and wealth."
I couldn't say anything. I looked at the fat man and found that his face became a little serious. We originally came with the intention of having fun, but the old man's words, whether it was people or things, were very similar to our own situation, almost just the point. This made people wonder, is this old man really a master?
"What's next? Do you think we can successfully find the status and wealth here?"
"Haha, the key is to the word "Wei". "Wei" means that "Wei" is missing one person, and this person is a noble person, or a villain, because if this person is added below, it will be a word "hidden". Just from the literal meaning, it means that you may be obstructed by some villains this time and be trapped in a dilemma, but if a noble person appears, he will turn bad luck into good luck, and maybe he will really get what you want."
After hearing his words, we couldn't help but fall into deep thought. These two words "villain" and "noble man" make people think a lot. Think about it, there are quite a few people who have sinned, but there are really not many friends. Is this time the matter destined to be difficult? I have nothing, but it is probably not a good thing for the fat man with ambitions!
"Hey, little prince, don't think too much. These are just a guess of the old man. He himself said that the situation in the near future cannot be seen clearly, maybe not as he said?" The fat man comforted everyone softly.
The old man nodded after hearing this and said, "Human fate is the most elusive thing. Since ancient times, some people have said that conquering nature. The most important thing is to believe in yourself. The purpose of fortune-telling is not to change your destiny, but to make people be vigilant. Just treat everything with a normal mind. Don't be too persistent, otherwise you will fall into the trap of destiny."
"Hey, I found that the old man said the most right thing in your words. Man conquers nature. I don't believe that there is anything we can't solve. Brothers are united and have the advantage of cutting off gold. As long as we can unite our hearts and virtues and overcome all obstacles, victory is within our control."
It was already late at night when we returned to the hotel. Four people and four rooms were a little extravagant, but people were more comfortable. Just after taking a shower and preparing to rest, the fat man broke through and ran in quickly. He was holding something in his hand, not sure what he wanted to do.
"Little Prince, please help me see if this thing is valuable."
I took a look and found it was a goblet from the Tang Dynasty, which was of fine porcelain. If you want to say it is worth it, there must be some, but it is not the kind of thing that makes people tremble with their hands. I guess he must have bought it from Panjiayuan, and it is rare to get such a thing here. "How much?" I asked.
"It's a thousand oceans." The fat man said with a heartache. He rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your expressionless face, can't this thing be fake, right? No, if it's fake, I'll have to look for that old thing tomorrow."
"Don't talk nonsense." I gave him a blank look: "Fatty, you made money and you are lucky enough. This thing is real. The price can at least make you more than ten or twenty times."
"Really? Gaga, Master Gua is so amazing. I didn't expect that I could make a profit by just taking one. No, I will go to him tomorrow. You don't know, little prince, there were several items on the old man's stall at that time. Master Gua was the cheapest one. I guess there were real things on it. If we buy them all, we will get rich."
When I heard this, I had to pay attention. There are some people who come here to sell things. They have a few real things in their hands, all of which are passed down by the older generation. The value of them is already very vague in this generation. If they have no money, they may be sold. Some people are pure farmers who get something unexpected and don’t know the goods themselves, so they take it over and exchange it for some money. For such a group of people, the value of things is not important, and it is already very happy to be able to sell them.
I put the goblet in front of me again and looked carefully, and soon found a strange place, with an ancient word "big" at the edge of the bottom of the cup. It is not uncommon to engrave words on the vessel, but it is very rare to see such words that only one word is invisible to people. Finally, I had a guess that the function of the ancient word on this cup should be equivalent to numbering, such as splitting a sentence and engraving a word on each cup, then putting it together is a sentence. This means that there is more than one thing, it is a set of things.
I immediately became interested. I put the object on my nose and smelled it, with a smell of earthworm. Obviously, it was not long since it was unearthed. I immediately confirmed that this was an underworld weapon, and it was a newly unearthed underworld weapon. For example, this underworld weapon with a number, just from the number of items, the owner's identity must be either rich or noble.
From the price bought by the fat man, we can see a message that the seller does not know the goods at all. Since it is the one who does not know the goods, it is impossible for outsiders to get it here to sell it. Then, the final conclusion is that there is a large ancient tomb nearby here that has been exposed, and no one has discovered it except the people who sell this thing.
I quickly asked the fat man where the person who sold this thing set up a stall. The fat man said that the person had just arrived when he bought it. Although it was night now, the market had not yet dispersed, and the man probably was still there.
"Hurry up, call Monkey and A Bing, let's go."
However, when we arrived at the market, we did not find that person. After searching through the entire market, we did not see his figure. "If the loss is big, the loss is big, he must have sold out all the things so he left. There must be some people who are hiding in this place. Those are real things! This time, the loss is big." The fat man shouted like a disaster.
