Antiques with golden eyes

Shen Yu listened quietly, trying to distinguish in his mind how much of what the veteran said was true and how false.

As if he deliberately gave Shen Yu time to think, after a full three minutes, the old Taoist continued to speak: "This seal was left to me by Master before his death. I have always kept it close to my heart. It is also a thought of Master.< /p>

"A week ago, I walked into a pond and saw someone falling into the water. I quickly went to rescue him. When I was drying my Taoist uniform, a thief accidentally took my seal and some personal belongings away.

"How could I give up? I chased him day and night for three days, and finally got the news from him. He sold the seal to an antique dealer in Dongjiang, and the antique dealer sold it to an antique collector in Chuzhou as a Tianhuang stone. Home.

"I didn't dare to rest and immediately chased me from Dongjiang to Chuzhou. I couldn't sleep for the past seven days. Finally, I couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed in my friend's shop. I want to thank you so much for saving me."

"Since you said that every head of the Li family has a seal of 'Master Jianfeng', it means that there are many seals with the same name, maybe five or six, or maybe a dozen.

"With so many seals, how can you be sure that the one in my hand is the one from your master?" Shen Yu asked the doubt in his heart.

But the old Taoist smiled: "Since my little friend admits it, it's easy to handle. You can use a high-power magnifying glass to look at the seal's seal."

"Seal? Isn't the seal just the four-character seal script: Jianfeng Louzhu?"

The old Taoist stroked the long beard under his chin, with a look that you could tell just by looking at it, "That's right, but there is something else going on under the four-character Zhuwen seal script of 'Jianfeng Louzhu'."

"If it is true, then I am really careless."

Shen Yu directly took a hand-held high-power microscope, and took out the seal from a drawer of a certain archaeological shelf. After a look, as expected, as the old Taoist said, there were four small characters in regular script under Zhu Wen's "Jianfeng Louzhu" , "Li Changkong Seal".

"Is there a three-character regular script engraving of 'Li Changkong' in miniature? Li Changkong is my master's common name."

Shen Yu thought for a moment and went straight to the point, "Taoist Master, if the seal is mine, then I bought it and gave it to you. But now this seal belongs to Uncle Song, and it is just kept with me for the time being. I have no right to dispose of it without the consent of Uncle Song. I hope you can understand."

"Can you call and ask? Don't worry, how much did he buy it for? As a poor man, I paid twice the price for it. As an old man, I'm always old, so I can't say I'm rich, but in a secular family, I still have a few nephews. , usually they still give some money to the old man."

"Okay."

Shen Yu took out his mobile phone and found Lao Song's number and called it, but immediately received a message that the phone had been turned off.

Shen Yu spread his hands helplessly: "Uncle Song's phone is turned off."

"Then do you know the other person's home address?"

"I don't know. I can't tell you even if I know." Shen Yu refused simply.

"Well, I don't want to force anyone to do anything difficult for me, so I'll keep this seal with you for now. I'll come back in ten days."

"Little friend, you are really in a dark mood..." The old Taoist continued to say Shen Yu's question, but was immediately interrupted by Shen Yu.

"Taoist Master, what you said really makes me a little anxious. If you have nothing to do, go ahead and get busy. I really don't want to hear about the bloody disaster." Shen Yu smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.

"Why is this old Taoist priest not done yet? I'm fine. Where did the darkness come from in the Yintang?"

The old Taoist sighed: "My little friend, whether you believe it or not, I have a bunch of Five Emperors' Money that can ward off disasters and turn evil into evil. If you don't want it?"

"I don't have money to buy it. To be honest, my pocket is cleaner than my face." Shen Yu forced a smile.

The veteran waved his hand cheerfully: "No money, I'll give it to you for free."

"Of course."

"Take it!"

The old Taoist threw something to Shen Yu. Shen Yu took it and looked at it, but his expression changed drastically.

"It's really Five Emperors' money!"

Qian Shenyu is no stranger to the Five Emperors. The Five Emperors originally referred to the five emperors of the east, south, west, north and center, and later evolved into the five emperors in ancient times.

The five emperors' coins include the half-liang coin of the Qin Dynasty, the five-baht coin of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the Song-Yuan Tongbao of the Song Dynasty, and the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty.

Small Five Emperors' Money often refers to the "Five Emperors' Money of the Qing Dynasty", which are the reign names of the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, namely Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing.

Of course, there are also differences in material. The big Five Emperors coins are made of bronze, while the Small Five Emperors coins are generally made of brass.

Since ancient times, China has had the custom of using coins to ward off evil spirits. If the money exceeds ten thousand people and the hand is full of yang energy, a red thread is hung around the neck. The righteous energy from the five directions can be added to ward off evil spirits, and there is a hope of attracting good fortune and wealth.

Of course, Shen Yu didn't believe these statements. If you let a few copper coins play such a big role, it would be too hard for this copper coin brother.

At this time, Shen Yu held three Five Emperors coins, namely: Kaiyuan Tongbao, Song and Yuan Tongbao, and Yongle Tongbao. The three ancient coins were connected in series with a beautifully woven red rope.

Although there are two missing half-liang coins from the Qin Dynasty and five baht coins from the Han Dynasty, there is another way of saying that the Three Emperors' coins are the combination of Qingyang Qi, Xuanyang Qi, Huangyang Qi, and the three Qi in one. It can ward off evil spirits, bring luck, and ward off evil spirits.

Shen Yu does not reject metaphysics such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Three Elements and Nine Movements, and the Five Elements Calendar, but he doesn't pay much attention to them either.

What surprised him was the value of these three Five Emperors coins. From an antique point of view, these were all money mothers.

Qianmu is mother money, second only to Diaomu in terms of value of ancient coins.

Bao Kang, a famous coin collector in the Qing Dynasty and the owner of Guangu Pavilion, wrote in his "Daquan Illustration" published in August of the second year of Guangxu: "Whenever the Yuan Dynasty changes to mint new coins, the cleanest ivory is first selected to carve the coin pattern. The money was submitted to the Minister of the Law Hall for appraisal, and then it was chiseled into ancestral money from fine copper.

The hole cannot be cut by anyone except the money bureau, and then the ancestor's money is used to cast sand into the mother's money. When it is cast later, the mother's money is used to seal the stamp, and when it is issued to each province, it is also called the mother's money."

These three ancient coins are thick in body, pure in color, and all have deep and sharp characters. They are rust-free and undamaged. At a glance, you can tell that they are ancient coins handed down from ancient times, and they are real treasures in the spring.

And it is very rare to put together three coins of Kaiyuan Tongbao, Songyuan Tongbao and Yongle Tongbao. It can be said to be extremely rare.

Even those big collectors who specialize in collecting ancient coins may not be able to collect them all. In terms of value, these three ancient coins are more valuable than all the ancient coins collected by Shen Yu himself.

How could you give something so precious to yourself just by saying it?

"Oh, Taoist Priest, this is too precious. I can't have it... Hey, where is the person?"

I don’t know when, but the old man who was still talking eloquently left quietly.

Shen Yu casually hung the Five Emperors' Money around his neck and ran quickly outside the store, but where was the old Taoist figure outside?

"Forget it, this Taoist priest said he will come over in ten days. Regardless of whether he will be given Uncle Song's seal or not, he will just return the Five Emperors' money to him. Now we should sacrifice the Five Internal Organs Temple first."

Arriving outside Lanting Ju, Shen Yu picked up the steel hook and pulled down the anti-theft rolling shutter door.

Before he could take a step, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Brother, please stay."
