Chapter 178 Glacier Crystal Corpse
The album that Uncle Ming showed me was full of various coffins, and the lids of the coffin were all open, revealing the mummies inside. The styles of the ages were different. Some were coffins and corpses, and there were two corpses lying on the side, which were couples who had a coffin together. There were dozens of mummies concentrated in a huge coffin, and there were transparent cabinets that were isolated from the air on the outside. It was said that they were private collections, but they were more like exhibits placed in an exhibition hall.
I asked Uncle Ming what these mummies do? Some people collect antiques, but some people don’t expect that there are also real “blades” to be wanted. I have heard that mummies in Xinjiang can be sold at a high price, but I’m really the first to see them after collecting so many, which is a bit eye-opening.
Uncle Ming said that many museums abroad specialize in purchasing well-preserved ancient corpses. The research and appreciation value of these corpses is a cultural relic that solidifies the eternal beauty of death, which contains huge commercial and cultural values.
Uncle Ming said to me, Brother Hu, since you have seen my collection, can you let me see the ancient corpse-storing mirror you got from Yunnan? The price is up to you, or which antiques you like here can be exchanged for.
I thought to myself that Uncle Ming is a person who knows the goods. Maybe he knows the origin of the bronze mirror, so it is better to condom porcelain. If you don’t tell him that the ancient mirror will no longer exist, so I asked Uncle Ming, if there is any explanation for the origin of this mirror?
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "Brother Hu has also started to talk with me. This bronze mirror is of no use to you, but it is of great use to me. There is no more evil things in the world than this. Speaking of history, although I have never seen it with my own eyes, when I heard a few friends in the antique industry talk about it, I immediately thought that it must be an antique from before the pre-Qin period. Qin Shihuang is the Legalist, you should know that you should know, right?"
I only remember that there was a time when I was "criticizing Confucianism and commenting on Laws". I seemed to mention some Legalism theory. I couldn't figure out the specific matter at all. I had to pretend to understand and nodded. Da Jinya said, "We all know that there was such a school of thought when the hundred schools of thought controversy was a theory of governing the country. By the middle of the Han Dynasty, it was no longer the roots after respecting Confucianism."
Uncle Ming continued, "In front of the real person, the bronze mirror that can suppress corpses and evil is a symbol of the Legalists. It is said that it was built in Ziyang Mountain to reflect the four dimensions of etiquette and integrity in the world. According to records, in the Yellow River, there were corpses causing waves and destroying ships. The King of Qin ordered people to hang this mirror at the mouth of the river and send troops to guard it. Until the Qin and Han Dynasties changed, this ancient mirror fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty. In the end, somehow it fell into Yunnan again. There is no second side in the world that can be installed on a bronze coffin to control corpses. If you give it evenly, I will never let you suffer."
I heard it a little bit regretful, but there is no regret medicine in this world. The price is right, but I didn’t have anything in my hand, so I told Uncle Ming bluntly that I don’t have any ancient mirrors at all, and that’s all the fat man’s mouth is running on the train. If he says at the front door, you have to go to Babaoshan to listen.
After saying that, I was about to get up and say goodbye, but Uncle Ming didn't seem to believe it, so he kept it and had to stay for a meal. Uncle Ming still thought that I was reluctant to give up, so he took out another jade artifact and held it in front of me. I knew it was not a common thing at all. He saw that he wanted to "shoot" with me (exchange) and behave in our industry. Both parties were just hands. If they wanted to show it to others, they must first put it on the table and wait for the other party to pick it up and see it themselves, and they cannot hand it over directly, because this thing is valuable. Once it falls to the ground and is damaged, it is impossible to tell who is responsible.
Since Uncle Ming was in his hand, I couldn't take it over. I only looked at it twice. Although it was only a section as thick as a little finger, it was definitely a free product at a price. Next to this item, I felt that the heat outside was gone.
Big Gold Teeth likes jade the most and she praised it: "The ancients said that jade is in the mountains and wood is moist, and produced in water and flows in square shape. Although this jade phoenix is small, when it is taken out, it feels so moist in the whole room. It really makes me feel more comfortable. I dare to ask which empress wore it in the Tang Dynasty?"
Uncle Ming smiled proudly and said, "Does Brother Jin have the eyesight? Is the Empress next to me? Although "The Legend of Tianbao" is a legend, there are also real materials. It says that Yang Guifei contains jade and swallows the body to relieve lung thirst, which means this piece of jade. This material is carved with an ancient jade that has been sunk for tens of millions of years at the bottom of the sea. The jade is originally moist. After being immersed in the sea for a long time, it increases benignity. It can relieve heat and dryness, soften and detoxify. It is a priceless treasure and one of my favorite things."
Da Jinya looked straight: "Since ancient times, I saw ancient corpses as if they were alive in the tomb. There must be a lot of beautiful jade in its belly. The ancient jade taken out of the rice dumplings is priceless, not to mention that this is what the imperial concubine holds in her mouth every day..." As she said that, she poked her neck over and stuck out her tongue to lick it.
Uncle Ming quickly shrank his hand: "Are you mistaken? You can't do it now? After you change it to you, you can lick it as much as you want. Even if you hold it in your mouth every day, there will be no problem."
Uncle Ming saw that I didn't speak and thought the price was not enough. He took out a scroll of ancient paintings, put on gloves, and spread them out for us to see. He told me that as long as you nod, the deep-sea jade, plus this original Song Dynasty book "The Picture of the Cattle in the Falling Clouds" will all belong to you.
I thought to myself that Uncle Ming has a lot of good things, so I opened my eyes first, so I didn't know if it was possible to look at the ancient paintings. Although our group of people usually spend their time with antiques, they rarely come into contact with calligraphy and paintings, and have never seen many authentic works. However, when they deal with antiques over the years, they have intuition about such real things. In addition, they have also seen many murals in the ancient tombs. After looking at them, they know that most of them are real "immortal elixirs". (Immortal elixirs: the best)
The structure of the whole work is two large pieces diagonally cut into the direction. The close-up is mainly rich trees. An old cow is gnawing grass under the tree. The lines are simple and smooth, and the brushwork is magical, which makes the old cow's gentle and calm expression vivid and vivid. There is a cottage located in the forest in the middle, and the distant view uses light ink to express the shape of the distant mountains. The distance is connected by natural layers, and the rendering is hidden by the virtual and real. The light smoke and mist are like layers of green sand covering it. It creates a clear, deep, distant, ethereal and comfortable feeling away from the world.
Uncle Ming said that at night, the light dimmed, and the cow that was eating grass under the tree would return to the grass cottage to lie down and sleep. This is an impossible treasure.
I was stunned immediately. Although this painting is good, the cows in the painting can move, which is amazing. I have heard of two antiques commercially confusing people. There is a traveler carrying an umbrella in the painting. When it rains, the umbrella in the painting will be opened. In fact, the two paintings are secretly exchanged. Those who don’t know the truth think it is a magical object. I am afraid the same is true for this "The Picture of the Cattle in the Falling Clouds".
Uncle Ming immediately blocked the light and looked at the old cow in the painting. As expected, he was lying beside the grass hut. The place where he originally ate grass was empty. I was shocked. Could this ancient painting be painted by a god?
Uncle Ming did not hide it and told the truth that the painting had been dyed with secret medicine from the palace, so there was such a wonder. Even without this link, this "Landing Clouds and Cattle Picture" was enough to buy more than a dozen decent houses.
Uncle Ming took two more things, and the price was getting higher and higher. He really spent a lot of money. It seemed that he had to have been trying to figure it out for a long time. Seeing that I refused to agree, he wanted to find something else.
I said to Uncle Ming: "We have really opened our eyes today. We have gained a lot of insights from you, but to be honest, I did take the ancient mirror of the ancestor of the Legal family, but I couldn't bring it out if something unexpected happened. Otherwise, we could really do this single shot business. If you spend so much money on that ancient mirror, is it a sign of corpse transformation in the zongzi in the mansion? If it is convenient, can you tell us? I know a few ways to make corpse transformation."
I said to Uncle Ming again: "I don't think there is any need for us to have any concerns. We are all walking together. Your thirteen-bearded porcelain cat was worshipped by the corpse-carrying man in western Hunan. Since this is the case, we must understand this. Will there be no way to deal with the corpse transformation?"
Uncle Ming probably understood that he had already offered a sky-high price. If he didn't agree, he would be a fool. It seemed that he had nothing to do. He had no choice but to leave us for dinner. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Uncle Ming told the reason for the matter.
Uncle Ming's ancestors were indeed the corpse-carrying corpse-carrying people in Xiangxi. "Bound corpse" does not mean carrying a dead person behind his back, but rather a way to rob a tomb. He digs a pit to disassemble the horizontal baffle of the coffin, climbs into the coffin with his body back, and does not dare to face down. He does "backhand job". These mysterious and strange rules are from which dynasty and generations. Uncle Ming's family made money by this. Later, when his father was carrying a corpse on Zoumayu, he encountered the corpse king in Xiangxi and lost his life. The last generation of corpse-carrying corpse-carrying people came to an end there. Because his family is rich and the craftsmanship of his ancestors has not been passed down, he started a business in Nanyang and finally settled in Hong Kong.
Later, we started to rush into mummies. If the mummies unearthed in deserts, Gobi, mountains, and wastelands have some identity and are well preserved, and they will be given the name of a certain king, a certain general, and a princess of a certain country. They can start at a price, making a fortune of a thousand yuan, and make money more than anything else. The next ones are private collectors of museums and exhibition halls, and of course they are all trading underground.
Not long ago, an overseas museum came to Uncle Ming to discuss business. They had an ancient scripture obtained from Tibet, which recorded the strange phenomenon of the death of a princess in the Demon Kingdom in Tibet. She died of a strange disease. After her death, she turned into a crystal corpse of a glacier. She was regarded as a miracle and buried her on a snow mountain with the "Nine-story Demon Building". The scripture even mentioned some specific clues about the location of the tomb.
This is the biggest business, but according to the information collected by Uncle Ming, the corpse of this thousand-year-old glacier crystal is extremely cold and has a very heavy yin energy. If there is no spiritual tower that is tributed to Master Padmasambhava, ordinary people will die once they get close to it, but that kind of thing is impossible. The rest of the corpse-suppressing things will be useless. After thinking about it, maybe using that ancient mirror can carry her out of the nine-story demon building.
