Chapter 23 There are mythical beasts in the tomb of King Chu

Wei Qiansui looked Feng Jiuxiao up and down and praised: "What a handsome young man in troubled times!"

Mr. Gao smiled and said: "You are more like my student than the three of them." The three brothers just smiled without any jealousy.

Feng Jiuxiao flicked her folding fan, opened it, and fanned twice, "Does it look more like a scholar rushing to take an exam?"

Mr. Gao said: "Huh? Rebirth in bliss? What can you say?

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Mr. Gao, do you still remember Ying Dingtian?"

Mr. Gao said: "A Thousand Miles Away?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I didn't expect Mr. Gao to still remember this person's nickname."

Mr. Gao said: "Of course I remember, didn't Wei Qiansui say that this man is extremely murderous, well-known in the world, and has superb martial arts skills."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Ying Dingtian became crazy about martial arts and pursued the limits of martial arts. He now regards me as his whetstone. In order for me to be a good whetstone, he gave me a copy of "The Divine Art of the Rebirth Curse". I want to

I always remind myself to be on guard against Ying Dingtian, so I asked someone to write these words!"

Mr. Gao said, "Whetstone? Isn't it just a living sandbag?"

"Isn't that right? Moreover, he will come to me anytime and anywhere. There is no telling which fight will be my last battle!"

"Ying Dingtian is indeed very evil. I heard that many martial arts masters will choose to retreat in order to achieve breakthroughs when they encounter bottlenecks in their practice. It is unprecedented for him to use living people as targets. Judging from his martial arts, he suddenly became violent.

The possibility of him being killed or being killed by someone is very small. Your only chance to get rid of him is to improve your martial arts and surpass him in strength. It is estimated that he will die out."

"It's naturally best to do this. I'm afraid that the higher my martial arts skills are, the more entangled he will be. Then it will be counterproductive and I'll be in big trouble."

"Then kill him and avoid future troubles!" Wei Qiansui suddenly said.

"Then I have to have that strength," Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed. With his current martial arts, it would be absolutely wishful thinking to kill Ying Dingtian.

"Everything is possible!" Wei Qiansui's eyes were deep, "Does killing have to be like a martial arts competition in a ring? Fairness? Rules? Morality?"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at Wei Qiansui, who had a murderous look on his face, and frowned: "Qiansui means by any means necessary?"

"What's the point? If everything was fair and moral, I would have died a thousand times over! You and Ying Dingtian talked about morality and rules. Did he tell you? He can take action whenever he wants.

He can take action wherever he wants, life and death are all in his hands! We have to be moral to such people, what is the difference between this and being killed at the neck? Is there such a truth in the world?"

Feng Jiuxiao sighed: "There is indeed no such truth." Mr. Gao said: "There will be a road to the mountain, so there is no need to worry. Let's go!"

Everyone got on their carriages.

The journey was uneventful.

Feng Jiuxiao occasionally went to question Ma Liu and the axe-wielding man. Ma Liu was still a good man, very bachelor, and kept his mouth shut. It wasn't that the axe-wielding man was very tough, but he just couldn't stand Feng Jiuxiao's coaxing and lying.

After a few rounds, I basically told everything I knew.

What Wei Qiansui said is absolutely right. This big man doesn't know anything about any issues you are concerned about.

After more than ten days of long journey, the large group of people finally arrived at Pengcheng. When they were still more than forty miles away from Pengcheng, they happened to pass through a small town, Guanqiao Town.

It was noon, the weather was hot, and people were sleepy and horses were exhausted, so Mr. Gao signaled to take a short rest in the town.

Feng Jiuxiao followed Mr. Gao, Wei Qiansui, three brothers and others to find a small wine shop in Guanqiao Town and prepare to have a few drinks. The top ten bad guys were patrolling around dozens of feet away pretending to be passers-by. Five

Hundreds of officers and soldiers found an open space outside the town and set up camp.

Although the small restaurant is small, its interior is elegantly decorated. Business is booming, and all six of the Eight Immortals tables are occupied. The boss sees that Mr. Gao is the most dignified among the people, and everyone respects him, so he discusses with Mr. Gao whether

I deign to move to the backyard. The environment in the backyard is elegant and quiet, and the courtyard is open. You can have a separate table for just a few distinguished guests.

Mr. Gao naturally had no objection. It was just a meal, so where else could we eat? What’s more, the scenery in the backyard was even better than expected. Several ancient pines had grown to towering proportions, and a trellis was specially built under the trees to plant grapes.

The growth is also excellent, and the vines are lush and leafy, forming a natural shade place. Under the scorching sun, the grape trellis is undoubtedly a paradise for enjoying the shade.

Everyone nodded to express satisfaction.

Feng Jiuxiao asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, your business is good, it's full every day."

The shop owner smiled and said: "How is that possible? Occasionally, there are only three or two tables, and we can barely maintain it. There have been a lot of outsiders coming in these days, so the business seems to be okay these days."

Feng Jiuxiao said oh and asked with a smile: "Does the shop owner know the reason why these people suddenly gathered here?"

The shop owner said: "I don't know about this, but what's a little strange is that all these outsiders seem to be martial arts people."

Feng Jiuxiao exclaimed, and couldn't help but look at Wei Qiansui, only to see that Wei Qiansui was also looking at him at this time. Both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes, and they understood each other tacitly.

Mr. Gao smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "If you have any good wine or food, just bring it over." The shopkeeper responded and went to prepare it immediately.

Mr. Gao said: "His store doesn't look big, and there aren't many people. The owner is both the shopkeeper and the waiter, but his taste is not bad. Did you just see the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of his store?"

In fact, it’s a bit like taking a test for everyone in school.

Wei Qiansui said: "I noticed that on the east wall is Cao Mengde's "Yan Xue" and on the west wall is Monk Huai Su's "Fish Eating Tie". They are both rare treasures. I don't know if they are fakes. If they are genuine,

In this small and windy place, why haven't you lost it eight hundred times?"

Mr. Gao said: "Wei Qiansui has a good eye! In addition to calligraphy and painting, have you ever paid attention to the statue of the God of Wealth he enshrines?"

Wei Qiansui said: "It's a bronze statue, but I didn't see clearly which God of Wealth it was."

Brother Shi Shi said: "Haha, I looked specifically at the statue of the enshrined god." Then he smiled and said nothing, and actually became disloyal.

Feng Jiuxiao looked at Brother Shi Shi with a smile and said, "Is it Zhao Gongming, the True Lord of the Dragon-Tiger Mysterious Altar who has an ingot in his left hand and a silver whip in his right hand?"

Brother Shi Shi couldn't help but blush, "Haha, it turns out Mr. Feng has noticed it too."

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "It's not difficult to figure out who the statue is, but I guess that's not what Mr. Gao wants to say."

Mr. Gao laughed and praised: "Yes, little friend Feng knows my feelings. I just want to ask you if you know the origin of this bronze statue!"

Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help being surprised and said: "The provenance? Can Mr. Gao be able to tell the origin of this bronze statue just by looking at it? I have to ask for advice on this."

Mr. Gao smiled and said: "Then you have to worship me as your teacher!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuxiao, who was beating the snake with the stick, immediately knelt on the ground to perform the apprenticeship ceremony! Everyone present was instantly shocked!

Mr. Gao hurriedly helped Feng Jiuxiao up and said hurriedly: "I'm just joking, how can I take it seriously? You and I just need to communicate more about treasure appraisal methods. Why is this necessary?"

Feng Jiuxiao said solemnly: "Mr. Gao, the students sincerely worship you as their teacher, and you are not joking."

Mr. Gao said: "I know this! However, I have something to say first. I will definitely tell you everything about treasure appraisal techniques and some insights, but I will never accept you as my disciple! You all know that I am the master who is today's emperor.

, how can we arbitrarily accept others as disciples? This is a crime of great disrespect! Please don’t mention it again in the future!"

Feng Jiuxiao had just been on a whim and had forgotten Mr. Gao's identity. If Mr. Gao did not have such identity restrictions, he would be fully qualified for the position of master due to his profound knowledge. Although he regrets not being able to become a master, it does not affect him.

The friendship between the two people. Feng Jiuxiao said with a calm smile: "I was a little reckless just now in my impatience." In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Feng Jiuxiao then smiled and said: "You are all witnesses to what Mr. Gao just said. When the time comes, can you

You can't cheat."

Wei Qiansui and the three brothers all laughed and cheered: "That's right."

Mr. Gao laughed and said: "I never lie. I have three major hobbies in my life, and collecting antiques is one of them. I have been exposed to all kinds of treasures for a long time, and I have quite a lot of experience in the method of identifying treasures.

.General Zhao Gongming God of Wealth statues hold five ingots and hold a silver whip horizontally. Only the God of Wealth made by the Ye family in Suzhou holds three ingots and holds a silver whip diagonally. This is the case for this statue, mainly to prevent counterfeiting.

.In addition, the eyebrows of ordinary statues have two sharp eyebrows, and this statue also looks like two sharp eyebrows, but there is a slight adhesion between the eyebrows. Although it is not obvious, it is definitely a unibrow.

!”

Everyone cheered!

Observation is nothing more than that!

Being knowledgeable is nothing more than that!

You are truly worthy of being an emperor’s master!

Although Mr. Gao is suspected of showing off his knowledge, everyone is not disgusted with it. On the contrary, they hope that Mr. Gao will show off as much as possible!

Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!

Xunzi once said: "Learn not to follow the example of others, not to explain the rituals, music, and methods, not to describe the poems and books, not to follow the Spring and Autumn Period, but not to follow the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, so that people can learn from the gentleman's teachings, and then they will respect them all over the world."

That’s why it’s said: If you don’t learn from others, you won’t get close to them.”

If you surround yourself with more senior people, your knowledge will improve quickly.

Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: It would be a pity not to learn more about Mr. Gao, a master of this generation who is knowledgeable about the past and present! Before he arrives in the capital, he needs to learn some treasure appraisal methods!

Suddenly I heard someone in the lobby of the restaurant slamming the table and shouting: "Why don't we have a share of this one-horned chicken?"

Another person also slapped the table and shouted: "One horn, one horn, one horn, how to divide it? Of course whoever has the ability will get it!"

An old voice suddenly said: "Don't make any noise, everyone. The Chu King's Mausoleum in Xiaoguishan is full of mechanisms. Whether we can capture Dujiaosi alive is a matter of doubt, but everyone is fighting here. What's the point? We are the only three people present.

, we should unanimously report to the outside world how many people have arrived at Xiaoguishan, don’t you know? We should eliminate these disruptors, and then everyone here will reward them according to their merit!"

"Uncle Ye, you said it lightly, and you will be rewarded based on merit? Just one horn, how to cut it? Cut it into slices? Or grind it into powder?"

"Can you please stop being so arrogant when you talk? The horns of the Dujiaosi can be used as medicine themselves, so why not grind them into powder? Whoever makes the most contributions will get an extra one, two or three cents. I think Gang Leader Ye's opinion is fine!"

"I think it's feasible too."

Unexpectedly, the tense situation that was about to break out into a life-and-death battle was turned around by Gang Leader Na Ye's words, and everyone formed an alliance again.

Feng Jiuxiao asked Wei Qiansui softly: "Qiansui knows the origin of this one-horned bird?"
