After listening to Lin Han's words, Monkey King's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice, approached Lin Han, and said:
"To be honest, Master Lin, I have a mirror at home right now... I'll give it to you now!"
Forehead……
Before Lin Han could say anything, Monkey King stood up and quickly went down the partition steps.
He went to the front desk to settle the bill and then left in a hurry.
The whole process may only take a minute or two.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "It really is Monkey King!"
Chen Laosan sighed, a little doubtful:
"This guy is a well-known sly guy. Master, you want a mirror, and he happens to have one? Why do I feel something is wrong?"
Lin Han said nothing.
He was never afraid of looking at things.
It has been such a long time since he obtained the Eye of True Vision that even without opening it, he can still make accurate predictions.
If you're really not sure, just activate the Eye of True Vision.
Don't be afraid of Monkey King doing bad things.
About twenty minutes later, Monkey King appeared at the door of the teahouse carrying a black garbage bag.
He was calm and composed, and the things in the garbage bag looked a bit heavy.
However, if it were a stranger, he would never have guessed what kind of antiques were in his bag.
Sun Wukong closed the door of the private room, sat down, and then took out the mirror.
hiss……
When the mirror came into view, Lin Han couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It should be a Dharma mirror from the Daoguang period.
Taoists use mirrors and pay attention to the five elements and eight trigrams.
The mirror in front of me is about the size of an A4 paper.
The mirror in the middle is made of round copper, and the bronze edging around it is carved into an oval shape.
Although the mirror texture is delicate, it is blurry, and there is mottled red and green copper rust around it.
The oval edging is carved into the shape of auspicious clouds.
Below the mirror, there is a hollowed-out Bagua diagram.
The mirror has no handle, so it should be hung from the beam or used by hand.
"How much money do you have to pay?"
Lin Han looked at Monkey King with sharp eyes and asked.
Sun Wukong had been observing Lin Han's reaction. When he heard Lin Han asking the price, he was sure that the other party was interested in his things.
A sly look flashed across his eyes, and Monkey King smiled flatteringly:
"Master Xiaolin, I can't tell when this thing came from."
He scratched his head and stared at Lin Han:
"But I really took it out of it, it's definitely old stuff!"
"Haha... As for the price, Master Xiaolin, it's up to you to decide!"
Lin Han chuckled in his heart.
Even if the tomb robber cannot see anything, he will definitely do a long investigation on the owner of the tomb before going underground.
It would be a fantasy that Monkey King didn’t know the time of this mirror!
"Old Sun! It's just how much it is! Tell the truth!"
Unexpectedly, before Lin Han opened his mouth, Chen Laosan was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
Sun Wukong was afraid of Lin Han and gave Chen Laosan some face.
Now Chen Laosan is actually being so arrogant to him.
Sun Wukong was instantly displeased, and said with a fake smile:
"Chen Laosan, what do you know? Stop yelling here!"
you!
Chen Laosan's face turned red after what he said, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
Lin Han took over the conversation: "Brother Sun, the mirror is an old thing. You said you don't know the age, then I will tell you."
He pushed the mirror in front of Monkey King and said slowly:
"It was made in the third year of Daoguang's reign. Judging from the shape of the mirror, the owner was not of high status, at most a country gentleman."
ah?
Sun Wukong's eyes froze, and he stared at Lin Han's eyes, full of disbelief.
"Master Xiaolin... How could this possibly be Daoguang's?"
He obviously had no confidence, his eyes rolled around and he said:
"Obviously, it's from Shunzhi... We saw it, the signature is Shunzhi."
"Hahaha!"
Lin Han finished laughing, shook his head and said:
"Brother Sun, Shunzhi has just entered the country. They haven't even learned all the Confucianism, let alone the Taoist Mirror."
He pointed to the Bagua carvings on the mirror and said:
"See? The carvings from the Daoguang period are all recorded in the Qing palace books. Even the patterns are the same."
Forehead……
Sun Wukong paused and opened his mouth, but had no words to refute.
"The Daoguang mirror has decent historical value, but as for its market value, there aren't many of them in circulation right now, so the price has never gone up. Maybe 80,000."
"Eighty thousand?"
Monkey King stretched his body and repeated Lin Han’s offer, then shrank back, looking somewhat dejected.
Eighty thousand is his reserve price.
He knew the market price of the mirror.
The general selling price is between 60,000 and 70,000 yuan.
It’s just that their line of work is shady and they walk on the edge of the law and life and death every day.
He is a person who makes a living by hanging his head on his belt.
Moreover, in recent years, their business has become increasingly difficult.
There are burial sites everywhere, and almost all the ancient tombs have been dug up.
Sun Wukong had a lot of trouble finding this tomb from the Daoguang period.
I originally wanted to sell the mirror for hundreds of thousands, but if I met a sucker, I might be able to sell it for more than 200,000.
Unexpectedly, Lin Han directly cut the price to the lowest price!
"Master Xiaolin... add a little more, add a little more... our business is not easy either."
Lin Han was silent for a moment: "This is all I can do."
After saying this, he glanced at Monkey King's palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Sun Wukong seemed to have his weak spot caught. His whole body immediately tensed up and he sat up straight.
"Okay... okay then."
After that, the money was paid and the goods were delivered.
Twenty minutes later, the money arrived in Monkey King's bank card.
He didn't dare to say a word and left in a hurry.
Holding the magic mirror, Lin Han and Mr. Zhang returned to the hotel.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Chen Zeng and Ge Fu each holding a tomato and eating it with relish.
They told Lin Han that someone wanted the silver bowl as soon as it was released.
Chen Zenggefu and others have already received dividends, and they have already transferred Lin Han's share to Lin Han's account.
As for Bai Tingwei and Xing Xiao, they made headlines in major media and on television in the morning.
The largest Tang Dynasty terracotta warrior tomb in China was discovered, and they are the direct responsible persons.
Nowadays, media people, cultural relics experts, and antique circles from all over the country are rushing to northern Shaanxi!
Even the five-star hotel where Lin Han and his friends were staying was fully booked.
"Then you guys stay here and take any good stuff you find. I'll go to Song Town with Elder Zhang."
After Lin Han finished explaining, he asked about Bai Tingwei's schedule.
Only then did he take the mirror and rush to Song Town with Mr. Zhang.
Zhang family’s old house, wing room.
Lin Han threw the mirror into a big iron pot.
It contains boiled broth, peppercorns, star anise, scallions, and ginger slices, which are bubbling and emitting a fragrant aroma.
As soon as the mirror was thrown in, it fell to the bottom and a string of bubbles popped out.
Zhang Lao sniffed and asked Lin Han: "Are you sure you are not cooking meat?"
"It's similar to cooking meat, but with a little more stuff."
Lin Han used a large spoon to scoop up the bottom of the pot and found everything from iron lumps to rotten copper.
"I've never seen you handle things like this."
