The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Ancient jade and high ancient jade are distinguished according to age.

The so-called high ancient jade usually refers to the jade wares of the Han Dynasty and before the Han Dynasty, which can be traced back to the year more than 2000 years ago, that is, BC; while the ancient jade refers to the jade wares before the Ming Dynasty. ①

Gao Guyu is mainly Hetian jade, which has always been selected from thousands of miles, most of which are kept in the museum and a few collectors, and are of great value.

At Christie’s auction on Hong Kong Island, the Liangzhu culture-three-layer jade cong with human, god and animal face pattern was hammered for 2600 million, and it was in the limelight for a while; million Hong Kong dollars; the transaction price of the Western Han Yulong Wenbi also reached a high price of 236 million.

In the latest Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong Island, none of the eleven pieces of high ancient jade was top-notch, and several of them had a premium of more than ten times!

As for other high ancient jades on the market, they can basically reach prices of hundreds of thousands or even millions.

'If this jade pendant can really be confirmed as Gao Guyu', thinking of this, the young man's breath suddenly became short of breath, then the debt they owed can be paid off.

All problems will be solved!

Yun Zhou put the jade pendant into the mahogany box very carefully, and fastened the copper buckle.

This is really a surprise. In his memory, it seems that when he was very young, he heard his father say that there was an ancestral jade pendant in his family. It is said that his great-great-grandfather spent a lot of money to buy it from a descendant of a declining official. of.

But after their family moved into the villa, they never heard from their father again.

Yun Zhou took out the mahogany box and put it in his backpack, then put the iron box containing the coins back and put it under the clothes in the cabinet.

Regardless of whether the rumors about the ancestral jade pendant are true or not, he will not let go of this opportunity.Even family heirlooms are not as important as mother's life.

The next morning, Yun Zhou came to the antique market in S City.

The antique market and the flower and bird market in S City are connected together, and the entire street is occupied by them, and you can feel the noisy crowd as soon as you approach.

On a hot summer day, under a handful of large parasols, there are endless streams of vendors. There are various coins, porcelain, bronze statues, calligraphy and paintings, handles, etc. on the stalls. There are many middle-aged people standing on their heads. He bargained with the stall owner under the big sun above his head, fanned the wind with his hands from time to time, and complained about the scorching heat.

There are many shops on both sides of the road. Unlike the stalls outside, these are basically regular antique shops, and their strength and collections have to be upgraded to a higher level.

Yunzhou wore a white baseball cap and held a gray backpack in front of him. He walked nimbly through the stalls, rejected several attempts from vendors along the way, and soon came to the largest store in the middle of the street—— Treasure Court.

This is a comprehensive antique shop, known for its fair prices and excellent eyesight of the shopkeeper, it is quite famous in S city.Except for ancient coins, stationery utensils, and large furniture, other types of antiques are basically accepted.

The vermilion plaque hangs high, with the three big characters of "Zhenbao Pavilion" written on it, with strong strokes and a magnificent momentum.

Inside is an antique layout, with various rare curios and scrolls placed on the high and low antique racks. The second floor seems to be a tea room with the fragrance of tea. Several old men are sitting by the window drinking tea, enjoying themselves.

As soon as Yun Zhou entered the door, he took off his baseball cap, fiddled with his light chestnut hair a few times, wiped off the crystal sweat on his forehead, let the cold air from the air conditioner infiltrate every pore, and squinted his eyes slightly to show a satisfied expression.

The sun outside was too strong, and it was already in the middle of the day at ten o'clock in the morning, which made the boy who was already suffering from summer a little uncomfortable.

Seeing a guest coming in, shopkeeper Wu immediately greeted him with a smile, and while greeting, he scrutinized the young man in front of him without any trace.

It seems that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bit of immaturity and youthfulness, he seems to be still a student.However, he looks very good, with exquisite facial features and fair complexion, no less than those stars on TV.

Wearing the simplest white T-shirt and black cropped pants, wearing a pair of canvas shoes, without any accessories such as watches, the extremely ordinary dress looks extraordinarily clean and refreshing.

Shopkeeper Wu could tell with just a glance that all the outfits of the young man would not exceed 200 yuan.Not to mention any of the antiques in the store, I'm afraid I can't afford even the valuable gadgets at the stalls outside.

Even so, he did not neglect, but set his eyes on the backpack tightly held by the young man, thinking in his heart: since he is not here to buy things, he must be here to sell things.

Shopkeeper Wu has seen many people who sell heirlooms. They are dressed in rags and looked downcast. They look worse than beggars outside. However, the things they sell are priceless, and there are many treasures that cannot be seen on the market.

The antique shop is a typical person who can't be judged by appearance.

So he smiled and said: "Little brother, do you have any old things to sell? If it is convenient, you can take them out and let the old man hold your eyes."

Yunzhou nodded: "Thank you shopkeeper, I have a family heirloom jade pendant, I don't know if there is an old one, I will trouble you."

Shopkeeper Wu gave him a surprised look when he heard the words, and couldn't help feeling a little good in his heart.

This young man looked tender, but his demeanor was extremely mature and stable, and he was very polite, better than many young people or even middle-aged people nowadays.

He invited the other party to a tea table in the inner hall, instead of rushing to appraise the treasure, he brewed a pot of Yuqian Longjing with a purple sand pot, and the two of them tasted a few sips of tea before officially starting.

This is the way Zhenbao Pavilion has been treating guests for many years. It can not only relieve the tension of customers selling heirlooms, but also gain two points of friendship when negotiating prices. Even if an agreement cannot be reached, it will not tear their faces.

After drinking tea, Yun Zhou took out a palm-sized mahogany box from his backpack and pushed it in front of shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu opened it and looked a little surprised: "Oh, it's a piece of jade? It looks old."

Generally, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings are mostly sold here, and jade wares are rarely seen.

After observing it with his hands, he exclaimed, "That's right, it's a typical Hetian white jade seed material. The jade is shiny and soft, and the color is soft. Only the princes and nobles in ancient times would be willing to give up such a large piece. There is no such good thing now. myself."

Although it was only a few glances, shopkeeper Wu can almost tell that this is definitely a real ancient relic, and it is an extremely rare boutique.

As for the year, we need to observe carefully to judge.

Shopkeeper Wu took out a magnifying glass specially used for jewelry appraisal and put it in front of his eyes. He was about to observe it inch by inch, but he felt an extremely cold air coming out of the jade pendant, almost freezing his fingers, and hurriedly put the jade pendant back into the In the box, I was shocked in my heart: "What a heavy yin and evil spirit!" '

There are two types of general antiques, unearthed and handed down, and ancient jade is naturally included.

Most of the things dug out of the soil are the funerary objects of the princes and nobles in ancient times. They are stained with the Yin Qi below, so they are not suitable for wearing within a short time after they are unearthed.

The handed down ancient jade refers to the jade articles that have been passed down from generation to generation as family treasures or have been circulating in the market during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Due to the long time of excavation and the nourishment of popularity, the yin energy is gone, and it can be worn safely.

This Panlong jade pendant has a natural color without any ominous color such as 'xue qin'. angry?

Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help asking: "Little brother, tell me first, how did you get this piece of jade?"

Yun Zhou: "It was handed down from the family. It is said that the great-great-grandfather bought it from a down-and-out official son."

Shopkeeper Wu nodded, which coincided with his judgment.only--

He took a closer look with a magnifying glass, and the more he looked at it, the more exquisite it became. The material, carving workmanship and coloring were all superb, and even the dragon's beard on the jade pendant was clearly visible, and it was well preserved.

According to the shape and style, the age of the jade pendant should be earlier than the Han Dynasty, and can even be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It is a veritable masterpiece of high ancient jade.

If it is placed in an auction, the starting price may not be lower than 300 million.As for the transaction price, according to the current people's pursuit of Gao Guyu, it is very possible to double or triple it.

Not to mention the auction, let's just talk about the few big customers he knows who love jade, if they know that there is such a piece of exquisite high ancient jade, they will definitely buy it, and they may not be able to sell for a good price.

Shopkeeper Wu did not give up and picked up the jade pendant to check it again. As soon as he picked it up, he was shivered by a burst of cold, as if his limbs and bones were covered with cold air, and he broke out in a cold sweat in the hot summer. Can reluctantly let go.

"Alas..." There is no problem with the source of this jade pendant, how could it have such a strong yin energy?

In such a situation, no matter how good the jade pendant is, there is no way to make a move. If something goes wrong, he can't afford it!

Shopkeeper Wu gritted his teeth, because he was unwilling to give up such a rare boutique: "Well, little brother, wait for a while, I will let the master take a look." He picked up the box and went to the backstage.

"Well, okay." A trace of doubt flashed in Yunzhou's eyes, but he still agreed.Although he didn't understand why the shopkeeper showed the jade pendant to the master, but with the reputation of Zhenbao Pavilion for many years, it would not damage his reputation just because of a piece of jade.

A large antique shop like this collects a wide variety of objects, and there are also many cultural toys unearthed.After all, good things are buried with their owners as funerary objects, and their fineness and delicacy are much higher than those handed down from generation to generation.

To do this line of work, it is inevitable to come into contact with some artifacts.

If you don't accept it, other families will accept it. There is no way to do this.

Therefore, there will be a master of metaphysics sitting in a large shop like Zhenbao Pavilion. If there are unearthed objects, let the master remove the filth and evil spirit inside, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents.

After waiting for about half an hour, shopkeeper Wu came out dejectedly, and shook his head at Yunzhou: "I'm sorry, little brother, but the master can't get rid of the yin in the jade pendant. Zhenbao Pavilion can't accept this jade pendant."

The master is not only unable to get rid of it, he vomited blood at the very beginning, and then his face changed drastically: "This item is absolutely extraordinary, if you wear it forcibly, it will definitely cause disaster!"

With such a sentence, how could shopkeeper Wu keep Yupei again.

"Yin Qi?" Yun Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party's last words, his clear eyes were filled with anxiety: "You said this thing can't be taken? Why is that?"

Shopkeeper Wu sighed: "You will know when you pick up the jade pendant and feel it."

Yun Zhou carefully picked up the Panlong Jade Pendant, but felt that the tentacles were warm and cold, which was very comfortable in the cold and cold in the summer, and he didn't want to let go while holding it, so he couldn't help frowning and looked at shopkeeper Wu.

"Huh?" Shopkeeper Wu's expression was rather shocked, "You, don't you feel cold?"

Yun Zhou shook his head: "I don't think so." Maybe it has something to do with his horoscope being Yang.

Shopkeeper Wu was amazed: "It seems that this jade pendant is destined for you. Except for you, everyone else will be eroded by the strong evil spirit inside, which will bring disaster. You should take it back."

Hearing the other party's explanation, the boy's bright eyes instantly darkened.

The largest antique shop in S City does not accept it, and other shops naturally will not accept it, and it is impossible for him to sell a jade article that can bring disaster to others.

Yun Zhou walked on the road in a daze, his slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes were a little dazed.

The scorching sun almost melted people, and the antique market was full of crowded people. Yunzhou was accidentally knocked to the ground by a person, and when he opened it, even the palm of his hand was scratched.

Fortunately, the backpack was protected by him in his arms, and the jade pendant in the bag was not damaged in any way.

He pulled the brim of his hat and lowered his eyes in disappointment.

God gave him hope, but immediately destroyed this hope, such a gap is enough to make people crazy.

If there had never been hope, maybe he wouldn't be so desperate.

When Yunzhou returned home, his mentality had slowly adjusted.

Being able to be reborn once is already a unique gift from heaven, and he can't ask for more.

If this method does not work, then think of other methods.

The boy's eyes became clear again. He patted the dust on his body, put his hand on the tap to rinse, and saw a few tiny scratches on the palm of his left hand, from which traces of blood oozed out, against his porcelain-white complexion. It looks a bit shocking.

'It's just a small injury, it should heal soon. '

Yun Zhou dried his hands with a clean towel, and didn't take this little matter to heart.

He took out the iron box under the closet, opened the lid, and prepared to put back the mahogany box containing the Beaulieu Jade Pendant.

Before putting it back, he paused with his fingers, took out the jade pendant from inside without giving up, and looked at it carefully.

It is obviously a high-quality Gao Guyu, why does it have a strong yin energy?

If the Yin Qi inside can be removed, can other people wear it?

Just as Yun Zhou was thinking, he didn't notice that a strand of blood in his palm was sucked in by the dragon head on the jade pendant, and then the whole body of the dragon glowed with a glaring white light, and the whole dragon flew out of the jade pendant as if alive. There was a loud dragon chant in mid-air, and finally disappeared into the boy's wrist.

Yunzhou:! !
