Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Most people who open antique shops have this nasty habit of judging people by their appearance. This kind of people are the so-called lack of discernment.

Li Mo was not angry at being ignored by the clerk. He came here to shop for treasures, so it would be better if no one paid attention.

"Shaving my head, when will the Tori expert arrive?"

"He had something urgent to deal with yesterday. It is estimated that he will not arrive in Guyuan until late afternoon today. We can go to Liupan Mountain tomorrow."

Li Mo came to visit the antique street first today because Tori didn't come with them, so he had to wait for him.

There are many types of items on display in this antique store, which feels like a grocery store. What he is most interested in is porcelain. Once you find genuine antiques like porcelain, the starting price is several hundred thousand.

If you encounter rare ones, the price will go beyond the ceiling, such as the secret color porcelain of the late Tang Dynasty, the five major official kiln porcelains of the Song Dynasty, the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, the underglaze red of the Ming Dynasty, the top porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qian Dynasties, etc.

However, it is difficult to see such porcelain in antique stores, and even if it does exist, it is tightly collected by the boss as a treasure of the store or a family heirloom.

Three of the items displayed on the archaeological shelf are high-quality imitations, five are fabricated items, and the rest are forcibly aged by pouring sulfuric acid on them. I don’t know who I am trying to fool by putting these items on display.

Gu Qianqian has been following silently. Whatever treasures there are in this store will definitely not escape Li Mo's eyes. She doesn't dare to keep chattering.

Li Mo looked around the entire store, but there was nothing he could get away with. However, there were still a few customers bargaining with the clerk. Judging from their enthusiasm, they probably thought they were going to miss something.

"Boss, I have packed up all the things in the warehouse at the back. What do you want to do with them?"

When Li Mo was about to leave, another clerk walked out of the back door carrying a box. The box was filled with messy things, covered with a thick layer of dust. He stirred up a puff of dust as he set the box down on the floor.

The boss was a woman in her forties. She covered her nose with one hand and fanned herself with the other hand and said, "Move out first and wipe off the dust. Hurry up."

"Okay boss."

The male clerk quickly picked up the box and walked outside, fearing that the boss would be angry and deduct his salary if he was too late.

Out of the desire to never let go of any opportunity, Li Mo glanced at the strange eyes and his face suddenly moved slightly. There was actually an incredible treasure in that box from before the Ming Dynasty.

"Wait."

Li Mo called out to the male clerk.

"Are you okay?" The male clerk glanced at him and saw that he was a man wearing glasses and wearing ordinary clothes. He looked a little impatient and sounded unhappy.

Li Mo smiled and pointed to the things in the box and asked, "Were all the things here collected from your warehouse?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Whether it's for sale or not? It's like betting on a stone. You set a price, and if I think it's a good bet, how about we make a deal?"

Li Mo still said with a smile, as if he was talking about the most normal thing. He seemed to play such a game often.

The clerk lowered his head and looked at the dusty debris in the box. He couldn't see any clues. Could it be that he was a professional gambler?

"I'll ask the boss." The clerk didn't bother to clean it up slowly. If someone wanted to swallow it in one gulp, it would be better, so he turned around and asked the boss. The boss glanced at Li Mo, then whispered a few words to the clerk, who nodded.

"Sir, our boss said that if you really want to try your luck, we can give you 100,000 yuan."

"How much? One hundred thousand?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "If this was really worth one hundred thousand, you wouldn't just throw it away in the warehouse and ignore it. One hundred thousand must be I won’t play with you. If it’s ten thousand or twenty thousand, I can still make a bet.”

The clerk looked back at the boss and saw her holding up two fingers.

"The boss's final bottom line is 20,000."

Li Mo deliberately thought about it for a while, then clapped his hands at the end and said, "Twenty thousand is twenty thousand."

He took out 10,000 yuan in cash from his newly purchased satchel, and then transferred 10,000 yuan in cash via his mobile phone, clearing both money and goods.

The barber picked up the box and walked outside. Li Mo and the boss waved and left the antique store. When Gu Qianqian saw this scene, she wondered, are all rich people doing this?

"Boss, I'll put these back in the car first."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, just let it go."

Sha Tou put the box on the ground. Li Mo reached out and rummaged through it, and took out a rectangular piece with rounded corners from underneath. He wiped the dust off the surface to reveal his true appearance. This looks like a gold medal, but it may be because the gold is impure, so the color of the surface is slightly dark, which is completely different from the bright yellow gold of real gold.

The gold medal is a rectangular piece with rounded corners and a round piercing at one end. It weighs 350 grams, is about 26 cm long, 8 cm wide and 0.1 cm thick. The outer diameter of the piercing is 5 cm and the inner diameter is 2 cm. The rim of the round piercing is engraved. There are six Chinese characters for "王子号76", and there are two lines of very special text on the front and back of the brand, which are different from any text he has seen before.

Gu Qianqian came closer and stretched her head to take a look, and then said a little strangely: "The carvings on it should be in ethnic minority characters. I don't know what they mean."

Li Mo looked carefully, recalling something in his mind. Since he found Genghis Khan's mysterious mausoleum and learned the meaning of the Mongolian characters on the stone gate at the entrance, he also gained a lot of knowledge about Yuan Dynasty culture during this period. He had some impression of these lines and had read them in an ancient book.

"This seems to be the Bath Bawen of the Yuan Dynasty."

Shatou and Gu Qianqian didn't know what Basi Bawen was, so they both pricked up their ears to listen to what Li Mo said.

"Don't look at me. I have only recently gained a little knowledge about the culture of the Yuan Dynasty, and I don't know much about the Basi Bawen. I can roughly tell you that in the Yuan Dynasty, the Basi Bawen was a kind of culture that only a few imperial courts had. Only officials can learn the text, so the number of people who can recognize it and read it fluently is extremely limited.”

"The highest administrative body of the Yuan Dynasty saw the unique characteristics of Basba script and cleverly applied it in military confidentiality. At that time, if the court wanted to transmit military orders to a Mongolian army, it would let A Han official who does not understand Mongolian but can read Basiba fluently will bring the imperial edict and gold medal order for troop deployment and gold medal written in Basiba to the army garrison. The Han official will read and write it aloud in front of the supreme commander of the garrison. With Basi Bawen’s imperial edict for troop deployment, the Mongolian garrison commander will soon understand the content of the edict.”

"But even if this Han official reads the entire content, he will not understand the slightest meaning of the imperial decree on troop deployment. In this way, the military orders issued by the imperial court have a high level of confidentiality during the transmission process. This is a Something that astonishes today’s military scientists.”

Gu Qianqian asked half-understanding: "Mr. Li, what does the Basiba text above mean?"

"I don't know either. We need to wait until the Tori experts arrive." Li Mo took out a piece of paper and wiped the dust on the surface again, then carefully put it into his bag. Although he still didn't know what the words on this gold medal meant, he knew that this gold medal was very rare and was definitely a cultural relic like a national treasure.

"Just find a trash can and throw the rest away."

After shaving my head, I didn't even look for a trash can. I just put the box against the wall and chased Li Mo away.

"How did Mr. Li know right away that there was a treasure in the box? I watched the whole process. It's just like the superpowers described in novels. Does Mr. Li also have superpowers? That's why his goal is so clear."

Gu Qianqian fell a few steps behind and whispered to Shao Tou. The latter turned around and looked around, then replied in a low voice pretending to be mysterious: "Our boss can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. We saw him perform it with our own eyes. It is more powerful than Superman in the movie." Ten times, even a hundred times.”

Gu Qianqian had a shocked expression on her face. She shaved her head and sighed secretly. This woman had such a funny brain that she could even take these words seriously.

The three of them went shopping in the antique street for more than two hours. In the end, they didn't come across another antique, not even one worth hundreds of thousands. Fortunately, it was not in vain this time. He actually found a gold medal from the Yuan Dynasty, which should be worth a lot of money.

"Mr. Gu, is there a place to eat nearby? The environment is a little better."

"Mr. Li, how about we go back to the hotel and eat? There is a top chef in the hotel who can cook southern cuisine. Although there are places to eat nearby, they are all about beef and mutton. I guess you won't be interested in eating."

Li Mo looked at the time and it seemed that he could only go back to the hotel to customize meals.

Tori did not come alone this time. He also brought five slightly younger archaeological experts, some from the border areas and some from Inner Mongolia. They took the earliest flight and waited until it was past dinner time when they arrived at the hotel.

"Expert Toli, do you think Li Mo can find another suspected tomb of Genghis Khan in Ning Province similar to the one in the border area?"

Tori was drinking tea and shook his head slightly when he heard this: "We must treat the problems left over from history with a cautious attitude. As for Li Mo's ability to hunt for treasure, I have seen it with my own eyes. His logical reasoning is very good. Awesome. First find out what is unreasonable, then make bold assumptions, and finally verify it at all costs."

Another man in his forties muttered: "They say he has fairy eyes. I thought he could really see through everything with his eyes."

Several people laughed.

"Expert Tori, when did you arrive?"

Tori quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "I was really talking about you just now. I wonder if you found some treasures in the antique street."

"Haha, I really got something good today." Li Mo pointed upstairs, meaning that he would talk about it in detail after returning to his room.

Tori's eyes lit up. He unexpectedly found another treasure after only one trip to the antique street. Judging from his cautious look, that treasure must have a great background.

"Mr. Gu, ask the chef to cook a few more dishes and then send them directly to my room."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Back in Li Mo's room, under the eager and envious eyes of everyone, he took out the gold medal from his bag.

"Expert Tori, what do you think this gold medal means?"

Tori put on his reading glasses and took a closer look. Then he suddenly lost control and stomped his feet excitedly.

"This is Basi Bawen, a gold medal issued by the imperial edict of the Yuan Dynasty. Oh my God, this is the only gold medal among the cultural relics unearthed from the Yuan Dynasty. It is definitely a national treasure among national treasures." Expert Tori could no longer control his emotions, "It is said to be an imperial edict. Gold medal is actually an alloy of gold and silver, but gold takes up slightly more proportion."

He pointed to the few lines of Basiba text engraved on the imperial edict gold medal and said: "Translated from Chinese, in layman's terms it means, 'The emperor's holy metaphors are sacred and inviolable. Anyone who violates them will be punished. Obviously, this is the Yuan Dynasty. The imperial edict gold medal that the emperor handed over to his ministers has been unearthed in silver in several places. However, there is currently only one imperial edict gold medal in front of me. If it were placed in a museum, it would be a treasure. Academician Li, what do you plan to do? How to dispose of this antique?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll probably bring it directly back to Yandu and put it on display in the Guyunxuan No. 1 Museum. Of course, if the museum in Inner Mongolia wants to display this imperial edict gold medal from the Yuan Dynasty, I will agree to transfer it to the outside world. On display. There are too many top-notch national treasures in my Gu Yunxuan Museum, so it doesn’t matter if one or two are missing.”

Tori really had this idea, hoping that Li Mo could put this imperial edict gold medal on display in a museum in Inner Mongolia. It's just that he was embarrassed to open his mouth. Now that Li Mo has taken the initiative to say it, it means that there is something serious about this matter, and he can contact his superiors later.

Tuk-tuk-tuk—

Gu Qianqian came with the chef to deliver food. In order for everyone to eat delicious meals, the chef also used all his tricks.

"Everyone is hungry, let's fill our stomachs first."

"The sweet and sour pork loin, braised crucian carp, double pepper fish head with a side of noodles are very delicious, and the tiger skin green pepper into eggs, braised red fish offal, braised lion head, and ground pot chicken are also very fragrant."

This meal finally satisfied Li Mo. At the end of the meal, he could drink delicious lemonade to relieve his tiredness. That was a sense of satisfaction.

"Mr. Li, are you going to visit other attractions this afternoon?"

Gu Qianqian asked respectfully.

"I'm not going. We have an internal meeting to discuss some things in the afternoon, so you can go and get busy. By the way, we will leave for Liupanshan after breakfast tomorrow. If you need to book tickets or anything like that, please prepare them in advance. The fee will be charged to me.”

"Yes, Mr. Li."

Before Gu Qianqian left, he glanced at the imperial edict gold medal of the Yuan Dynasty on the table. He heard that it was at least a first-class national treasure. If placed in a museum, it would be a treasure. How much would it cost?

And Li Mo only spent 20,000 to buy it. As soon as he turned around, it was estimated to have appreciated a thousand times, or even thousands of times. No wonder his current net worth is unimaginable. He spends more than 100,000 yuan on charity every year. Tens of billions.

Gu Qianqian was ready to convey such important news to his superiors immediately. This imperial edict gold medal from the Yuan Dynasty royal family was found in the antique street. Perhaps he could also discuss with Li Mo to put the imperial edict gold medal in the Guyuan Museum. Just display and collect them.
