In Ding Qi's primordial spirit, it seemed to hear the ancient bronze sword weeping softly. The owner of the shop facing him was a bit stunned. The customer was so weird. He said he was appraising things, but closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time. The boss finally couldn't help but said: "This gentleman, what's the matter with you, do you want to buy or not?"
On this occasion, Ding Qi couldn't concentrate on feeling, he just felt it roughly. He opened his eyes and said, "A thousand yuan, how about it?"
The boss is dissatisfied: "You are joking! I just said that the minimum is three thousand. If it is lower, I will have to lose money."
"Isn’t this sword that you paid for five hundred yuan last year? Why did you lose the money for three thousand? I said Wang Wentong, what the **** is going on with you today? It doesn’t look like doing a good business at all!" A voice came from outside the door, and he turned to see that it was Guo Yi, the person in charge of the Public Security Joint Defense Office just now.
Guo Yi was very angry. When he was on duty today, he happened to meet Li Pin, a leader who also worked in the political and legal system. He accompanied Section Chief Li to stroll around the store, but he met a hapless boss like Wang Wentong. After leaving Section Chief Li away, Guo Yi came back and wanted to ask what Boss Wang meant today. He happened to see someone wanting to buy that sword again.
Guo Yi is just a grassroots police officer. Although he is not a big official, he manages a lot of things in this market, and the news is very well-informed. The antique market has always been a mixed bag. For many things, he closes one eye, because he can't control it, and he can't offend too many people.
Boss Wang paid five hundred yuan for a bronze sword in the hands of the worker who buried the water pipe. Guo Yi happened to have heard of it, so he simply broke it at this moment, and it was considered unlucky.
Boss Wang said with a bitter face and smiled: "Director Guo, you saw it just now, and it is clear that two guests were stunned there. Opening the door to do business, I don’t want to offend anyone, I’m in a dilemma..." /
Guo Yi: "Don't say just now, just say now, what is going on with your sword, is there a problem with its origin?"
Boss Wang quickly explained: "There is no problem with the origin. I just paid 500 yuan. Doesn't Director Guo know all of them? As for how they came from, the rules of our antique shop are not to be inquired." /
Guo Yi: "This is a cultural relic? The public sale of symbols does not comply with national regulations. Do you need to check it carefully?"
Boss Wang stepped forward and bowed and said: "This is a modern imitation, not a real antique. How can I receive the real thing."
This is a standard lingo in contemporary antique shops. Selling counterfeit products to customers as genuine is considered a skill, but when encountering official inspections or finding faults, such as cultural relics with questionable origins, the boss will say that this is a modern imitation handicraft. Anyway, he just collected it as a counterfeit, and he can't tell if he is not a professional appraiser.
Ding Qi smiled on the side, holding the kendo: "Modern imitation crafts? Then you can sell them more expensive!"
Boss Wang: "Although I received five hundred yuan, but the rent, water and electricity, market management fees, and my own labor, these are all money. If you really like it, you can give me another price. Right."
Speaking of which, it was sold for 1,500 yuan. Those who do business will be observant. Just now Boss Wang saw Ding Qi holding a sword in a trance, and he hadn't put it down for a long time. He had already taken a fancy to it. Usually, under such circumstances, he would buy it out of all likelihood. So he had planned to kill three thousand yuan without reducing the price. Unexpectedly, Guo Yi found a problem, but he still sold it in half.
Ding Qi swiped his phone to pay, and handed the sword to the boss and said: "Help me wrap it." Then he pointed to the two ancient bricks on the shelf and said: "Pack with the sword stand."
The boss was startled: "Do you also want to take those two bricks?"
Before Ding Qi could speak, Guo Yi yelled again: "Nonsense! There is more than one company selling swords in this market. Who sells things, not along with the shelf? You just said these two pieces by yourself. The brick is the shelf for the sword. When the sword is sold, the shelf must of course be wrapped."
Ding Qi smiled and said: "This Director Guo is right. It is indeed the truth. Give me the sword stand together."
Boss Wang: "But these two bricks..." At this point, he suddenly stopped his voice because he saw Ding Qi's eyes.
Ding Qi turned his back to Guo Yi, and looked directly into Boss Wang's eyes. The smile on his face had been reduced, and he looked extremely cold. Boss Wang has never seen such a look, as if he can see through the depths of his soul all the time, which makes people feel that they cannot be hidden. There is also a trance in his mind, as if his mind is lost, as if he is instantly hypnotized.
Just listen to Ding Qi's unhurried and slow words: "The customer just now won't come to buy these two bricks again, and won't go to your store to buy things again..."
Boss Wang knows the origins of these two bricks, and they are not rare objects. The big deal is to pick them up. The real problem is his shop and the customer just now. At this moment, Ding Qi's tone paused, and Boss Wang suddenly recovered. It felt like the drowning man was finally throwing ashore, already in a cold sweat.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Why do you say so much? I just wrap things up for you."
The two bricks that were not sold for two thousand dollars were given to Ding Qi as a sword stand at this moment. The ancient sword was too long, wrapped in a long strip of hard paper shell, and the bricks were too heavy, so he found a nylon bag to carry it, and Ding Qi left the Xinshikou Antique Market with his things.
Xian Hao made dinner, and Ding Qi ate ready-made. At dinner, Zhu Shanxian also came back. Ding Qi put the bought ancient sword and two bricks on the table, and the two introduced Xian Hao about the day. Ding Qi asked again: "Zhu District Chief, are those Section Chief Zhang and Director Guo both yours? The cooperation is very good, and the acting skills are good!"
Zhu Shanxian replied: "I am a native of Jinghu. I have lived here for more than 40 years and have worked for 20 years. How come there are no people I can trust? Even if I have nothing to do with the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, It’s okay to find someone to do something. Li Pin is indeed my person, but Director Guo, I don’t know him, it just happened by chance."
Xian Hao asked Ding Qi again: "You accompany Brother Zhu to stop Zhang Wangxiong, go shopping the antique market and pick up the sword by the way, why do you want to get these two bricks back? There are still things on the mountain. Quite a lot...Is it because people are vying in the store and want to take advantage of it by the way?"
Ding Qi explained: "That's not the case, just because these two bricks have a story."
Zhu Shanxian: "Story, what story?"
Ding Qi seems to have answered the wrong question: "Brother Zhu, you inferred that Zhang Wangxiong is looking for special artifacts, using the method of the sect to assist in the cultivation of the primordial spirit, in an attempt to increase the realm of the knight's aura. I've studied a little bit of the art of micromanagement. You have also taught me the art of Jumeirah, so I want to try it too.
When I entered the shop today, I felt it. I seemed to hear the sword crying, and then I saw the experience of it, but the feeling was not very clear... What surprised me more was these two Bricks, they actually have stories. When you carefully sense them, it's like reading the stories that happened to them. It's very clear, so I brought them back. "
Xian Hao frowned: "A brick with a story? I have been to Huangzishan with you. These two bricks should have been on the mountain at the time. Why didn't you find it? There are so many bricks on the mountain, all with stories? You both Want to move back and have a look, or simply go to Huangzishan again to read the story?"
Ding Qi sighed: "That is a mountain with a story, a tower with a story, a world with a story, and the ground is full of bricks with stories. But these two bricks are different, I should see After passing them, they went down the mountain and walked in the red dust. The feeling has changed. I can really read the story in them, which is different from the other bricks on the mountain."
Zhu Shanxian curiously asked: "What story did they tell you?"
Ding Qi shook his head and said: "It's not that they are telling stories, but if you feel carefully, you can see, hear, or feel the stories happening in them, as if the artifacts have spirituality.
Aquan once said when he introduced the minimalist technique that after successful cultivation, the things in his hands seem to be alive, and they can talk. It's not that things can speak, but people can feel it. Brother Zhu practiced the nobility of looking at aura, which was originally a living thing, mainly to look at people. But what if it is used to observe everything in this world?
Sister Xian, when you were on Huangzi Mountain, you mentioned primitive shamans and spirits. Everything in this world has spirituality, including every brick on that mountain, but how can we discover it? In other words, how can an artifact possess special spirituality, in fact, I can't tell, but today I suddenly felt a little bit.
This is a crying sword, and these two bricks gave me the feeling that they would walk after they grew feet. I saw the way they traveled, and even sensed what happened around them, so I said that they are bricks with stories..."
The bricks don’t have long legs, how can they walk? When Ding Qi saw these two bricks, a heart disk appeared in the primordial spirit inexplicably, containing the location and route. Starting from Huangzishan, the two bricks were taken down, and then sent to the antique shop called Wuhuatang.
The boss deliberately put two bricks on the shelf, and in order to conceal people, he set up a rusty bronze sword. Later Zhang Wangxiong came and wanted to buy these two bricks, and a series of disputes occurred around these two bricks. If the bricks are spiritual and can tell their own experiences, this is a bizarre story.
Zhu Shanxian cried and laughed and said: "This is not the bricks with stories, but Teacher Ding, you have the stories. You clearly know what the two bricks have gone through, that's why you have this feeling."
Ding Qi: "It is true, but it is really what I sensed from these two bricks."
Xian Hao: "Could it be just a psychological suggestion, because of these two bricks, you hypnotized yourself."
Ding Qi did not refute, but just nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility, but the artifacts can produce psychological hints to people, and it is worth studying in itself. Do you remember the double-blind test performed by Ah Quan? You can take it alone. Go back together and feel it.
Brother Zhu, you probably don't know the details of Huangzishan. Sister Xian, you probably don't know the details of the antique market. If you can feel it clearly and it is consistent with the facts, it proves that these two bricks are indeed spiritual, and they have changed from story-telling bricks to story-telling bricks.
I am still thinking about another question, where does the so-called spirituality of artifacts come from? Obtained from the world, created by the environment, or simply given by people? For example, we have been sacrificing the aragonite, why can we give it a magical effect to open the door to the outside world..."
Zhu Shanxian nodded and said: "Okay, then sister Xian and I will take a brick and study it, how about you?"
Ding Qi: "I will study this sword carefully."
Xian Hao: "Don't worry, eat first."
Zhu Shanxian: "Right, yes, eat first. After dinner, there is another thing to discuss. I got the evidence of Sha Langzheng's gang back then."
