Chapter 20 Han Wang Ding
“Brother, where did you get the bell, the sound is very nice.”
Early the next morning, sitting in the car Zheng Dagang was driving, Su Xiaoxiao kept staring at the wind chime in his elder brother’s hand, and stretched out his hand to play with it for a long time before returning it to Su Xiaofan.
“I bought it yesterday, and I will put it in my town house later.”
Su Xiaofan told the truth, if the little girl asked about the price, he would also say it, but obviously Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think how much a copper bell was worth, so he didn’t mention the price at all.
“In the future, I will also find some real artifacts to sell.”
Zheng Dagang, who was driving the car, said, now he doesn’t say the bell is expensive anymore, Su Xiaofan bought it for 1.2 million, as long as he wants to sell it, he can sell it for 1.8 million at any time, and Zhao Hengjian can take over.
This huge profit stimulated Zheng Dagang a lot. Although the profits of the fake instruments he sold were much higher than this bell, the price could not be sold, and the price would be tens of thousands of dollars. It is not like Jingxintang. Earn tens of millions in one order.
“Dharma artifact? Brother Gang, aren’t you selling magic artifacts?”
Su Xiaoxiao sometimes goes to the market with her brother on weekends, so she naturally knows what kind of business Zheng Dagang is doing.
“Ahem…”
Zheng Dagang was almost stunned by Su Xiaoxiao’s question, coughed twice, and said: “The magical artifacts you sold before are too low-grade, and you will specialize in high-end ones in the future.”
Several people were chatting, and the car had already left the city and got on the highway.
Sujia Village is located in the northern suburb of Luochuan City, not very far from the foot of Mang Mountain. After driving for a section of expressway, you have to go down to the national road, and then there is a small road built in the countryside. The road is not very easy to walk.
“Xiaofan, we don’t know how many ancient tombs there are underground.”
The car was driving on the muddy road with potholes, Zheng Dagang looked towards the foot of Mang Mountain not far away, pouted and said: “Speaking of which, your village is not far from the Eastern Zhou royal tomb. Tomb?”
“There must be. When digging wells in the village before, things were dug out, but the sixth grandpa didn’t allow it to be dug, and no one dared to do so!”
Su Xiaofan nodded, to be honest, growing up at the foot of Mang Mountain, Su Xiaofan really saw too many things like tombs, not to mention the famous big tombs, there are many unknown tombs everywhere Yes, the number is unimaginable.
The ancients once circulated a saying, that is, “Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, dead and buried in Beimang.”
This sentence means that people should live in a bustling and prosperous place like Suzhou and Hangzhou when they are alive, and they should be buried in Beimang, a treasured place of geomantic omen, after death. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that “there is less idle soil under Beimang Mountain”.
Su Xiaofan has seen a statistic before. There are more than 970 large-scale princely tombs in Mangshan, and the number of ordinary ancient tombs is as many as hundreds of thousands. It can be said that you can find ancient tombs by digging any place here. In ancient times, tomb robbers of all dynasties have come here to rob tombs, and countless national treasures have been lost and disappeared.
However, within the scope of Sujia Village, there has never been a tomb robbery in the past few decades. That is because the old village head hates such things that eat the dead.
In the words of the old village chief, his ancestors might be buried on some hill, and those grandchildren might dig up their ancestors’ tombs one day.
The old village chief organized a village protection team in the village decades ago. When he encountered people who came to survey the terrain and prepare to rob the tomb, they were all arrested and sent directly to the police station. Ten sentenced to ten will definitely not bring wronged people.
There used to be a gang of tomb robbers who wanted to retaliate against Sujia Village, but the people of Sujia Village were united and the people were tough. After suffering a few times, the local masters from other places dared not come to Sujia Village to rob tombs anymore.
Many people from the village next to Sujia Village have gone out to do tomb robbery. In some villages, more than half of the people are engaged in this profession, but later they were arrested and sentenced, and even the whole village was depressed.
On the contrary, Sujia Village has been making antique bronzes. Although the business was mediocre at the beginning, after the reputation was established, the business is getting better and better. Now it can be said that it is the wealthiest village in Shili Bacun.
After entering the boundary of Sujia Village, the road became easier. When the car drove to the entrance of the village, Su Xiaofan saw a red banner hanging at the entrance of the village.
“Warmly congratulate Su Xiaoxiao from my village on being admitted to Yenching University.”
At the entrance of the village, the old village head who just talked to Su Xiaofan on the phone, waited there with a group of people.
Su Xiaofan asked Zheng Dagang to stop the car more than ten meters away from the village entrance, then got out of the car with Su Xiaoxiao and walked over.
“Okay, a little boy is promising.”
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, the old village chief couldn’t hide a smile on his face, “Our village finally has a college student from Yanjing.”
The old village head is seventy-six this year, but he is in good spirits and in good health. He has retired from the position of village head long ago, but he still keeps his word in the village. The village head makes up his mind.
“Grandpa Six, it’s because you pay attention to education, otherwise our village wouldn’t have so many students admitted to college.
” Su Xiaoxiao has stayed in the village longer than Su Xiaofan, and has a very close relationship with Grandpa Six, so she stepped forward and took the old man’s arm.
“It’s better for you to learn by yourself, Xiaoxiao.”
The old village chief burst out laughing when he heard the words, but when he saw Su Xiaofan, he gave him an annoyed look, “You are disobedient, I told you that the village pays tuition fees, and you have to review for a year and retake the exam. You just don’t listen!”
Su Xiaofan’s previous academic performance was much better than his younger sister’s. If it wasn’t for the car accident, he would probably be the first person to be admitted to Yenching University. Until now, the old village head is still regretting that Su Xiaofan failed to repeat his studies.
“I’m going to carry forward our village’s handicraft, that’s the business.” Su Xiaofan said with a smile.
“You son of a bitch, what are you doing with me and your father?”
The old village chief knew that Su Xiaofan was a little alienated from him, he sighed, and said: “Don’t go back today, there is a floating mat in the village, and it will probably last until evening, so you can go back tomorrow morning, and the school fee for the first year of Xiaoxiao will be given by the village.” gone.”
“Grandpa Six, the small tuition fee has been prepared.” Su Xiaofan said hastily, he didn’t want to go back to the village to borrow money before, and in the end he didn’t want to accept the favor of the village chief.
“Is Su Xiaoxiao from Sujia Village? Are you, Su Xiaofan, from Sujia Village?” The old village chief’s eyes widened, and there was a sign that Su Xiaofan would turn his back if he refused again.
“Okay, we will listen to Grandpa Six.” Su Xiaofan agreed with a wry smile.
Besides being a little uncomfortable with the old village chief, Su Xiaofan is very popular in the village. After introducing Zheng Dagang to everyone, a group of people walked into the village.
“Um?”
When he came to the entrance of the village, Su Xiaofan suddenly stopped, and looked at the big bronze tripod at the entrance of the village.
【Han Wang Ding, a high-level magic weapon, can be absorbed! 】
In Su Xiaofan’s mind, a line of words suddenly appeared. Su Xiaofan, who was joking with someone, froze for a moment, walked forward involuntarily, and put his hand on the bronze tripod.
【Han Wang Ding, a high-level magic weapon, can be absorbed, can it be absorbed? 】
After touching the bronze tripod, Su Xiaofan had the option of absorbing it or not.
Su Xiaofan is no stranger to the bronze tripod that is as tall as a person at the entrance of the village. It has been placed here as long as he can remember, and it has never moved in the wind and rain. When he was a child, Su Xiaofan often climbed with his friends. Go hide and seek in the tripod.
Every year and festival, the old village chief would bring the people of the village to the entrance of the village to worship the ancestors in front of the bronze tripod. Everyone in Sujia Village was very familiar with this bronze tripod.
So Su Xiaofan never imagined that this bronze tripod called Hanwang Ding was actually a high-level magic weapon.
For so many years, Su Xiaofan always thought that this bronze tripod was cast by the village himself, but the words Hanwang Ding displayed in his mind indicated that it should be an object from the Han Dynasty.
What shocked Su Xiaofan even more was that the three words “absorbable” appeared in his mind, and this was the first time Su Xiaofan encountered an object that could be absorbed since the repair value appeared.
But in this way, Su Xiaofan couldn’t figure it out again. The bronze tripod of the Han Dynasty is so big, it is definitely a national treasure, let alone tomb robbers will miss it, even the country will not allow it to be placed so casually. here.
“By the way, how did Uncle Jing know that Sujia Village has magical artifacts?”
Su Xiaofan suddenly thought of something. When he bought the Zhan wind chime yesterday, Jing Shizhen seemed to have mentioned that there is a magic weapon in Sujia Village, and he really let him talk about it.
Su Xiaofan felt as if there were many things, as if covered by a veil, as if he was about to come into contact with it, but also as if he didn’t know anything.
“What’s the matter, haven’t you seen the tripod in our village?”
Seeing Su Xiaofan stop in front of the bronze tripod, the old village head said angrily: “You have only been out for a few days, and you forgot our town and village treasure?”
“Ahem, no, Grandpa Six, I think our bronze tripod has been stored for decades, why is there no copper rust at all?”
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Su Xiaofan coughed, and took back his right hand that had been stuck on the bronze tripod.
“This is the treasure of our village, can it be the same as ordinary bronze wares?” The old village chief snorted coldly without further explanation, and took Su Xiaoxiao’s hand into the village.
“Xiaofan, your village’s craftsmanship is really good, you can make such a big tripod!”
Zheng Dagang, who was following behind, gave Su Xiaofan a thumbs up. There is no tripod that has been unearthed in China that is larger than this one. If this is a real tripod, it is not an exaggeration to call it the treasure of the country. .
“Is it not sure if it is made in the village?”
Su Xiaofan couldn’t help muttering in a low voice, he was very conflicted in his heart now.
This is the first time Su Xiaofan has encountered an absorbable object. Su Xiaofan believes that as long as he confirms the absorption, the repair value in his mind will definitely change.
But Su Xiaofan didn’t know what would happen to the bronze tripod after absorbing it.
If the bronze tripod is rotten or damaged, then I will be a sinner of Sujia Village. After all, as the old village chief said, it is the “treasure of the town and village” of Sujia Village.
Finally, Su Xiaofan made up his mind not to absorb the bronze tripod.
Although he chose not to absorb this high-level magic weapon, Su Xiaofan feels that he has gained a lot.
Because he knew that the high-level magic weapon can be absorbed by the repair value in his mind, so that as long as he can find the high-level magic weapon in the future, he can replenish the repair value.
