Today is the fifth time I came to the Bronze Branch of the Kyoto Museum. The mysterious energy in the colorful halo crazily penetrated into my eyes, nourishing the pupils, and then turned into a cool breath that spread throughout the body and integrated into the internal organs. , improving body functions.
As the number of times increases, the mysterious energy that the strange pupils can hold becomes less and less. Today, there may be a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative change.
Li Mo came in after the museum closed. It was just a word from Director Shi. Besides, Li Mo himself has a high prestige. As soon as the museum staff heard that he would spend more time studying bronzes, many people wanted to follow him. He studied together, but Li Mo made an excuse and declined.
Time passed little by little, and his eyes began to heat up. This feeling is very familiar, and the strange pupils begin to transform. Li Mo stabilized his mind and continued to absorb the mysterious energy in the colorful halo.
Suddenly, Li Mo clearly heard two sounds of bubbles bursting, coming from his eyes. The originally hot eyes instantly became cool, and the world in front of me became clearer. Even in dimly lit environments, it looked like daylight.
The strange pupils scanned for a week, and hundreds of bronzes collected in the Bronze Museum simultaneously raised colorful haloes of light, making the world become colorful and beautiful.
The perspective vision is unimpeded all the way, passing through the extremely thick reinforced concrete wall of the Bronze Museum, passing through the steel plate partition in the middle of the wall, and seeing the world outside the museum. Tourists on the museum square, endless traffic on the avenue...
Li Mo felt that the visual distance of his strange pupils was at least more than a hundred meters. As soon as he detected the limit of his vision, he immediately withdrew his perspective gaze. There were too many pedestrians on the road, which was too irritating for his eyes.
This time, not only did the ability of the strange eyes transform again, but the conjoined ability also seemed to be strengthened again. He felt that if he punched with all his strength, the destructive power could be increased by 30%.
Li Mo walked out of the museum and saw a brown bear squatting on the steps smoking a cigarette.
"Didn't I ask you to spend more time with your wife at home?"
Brown Bear put out the cigarette butt and put it into the trash can next to him. He stood up and said with a smile, "I've been staying at home for a long time. My wife thinks I'm annoying, so she urges me to come out and help you every day."
"How is your wife's recovery?"
"I went for a physical examination last week. All the physical data are very good, and the bones have begun to heal. I will be fine after a good two or three months of rest. Boss, you better not let Xiaojun send you any more supplements. You can eat it every day."
"Your family can eat together. I brought a lot of people to Ao Island this time, so you should stay at home and take care of your wife. After all, your parents are old. If there is any urgent matter, you can handle it quickly."
Brown Bear thought for a moment, it was really inconvenient for his wife to take a bath and go to the bathroom without his help. This time the boss brought almost everyone from Safe Shield Company with him. It was definitely not an ordinary thing, so he had to go with him.
"Don't think too much, just follow my arrangements."
"Yes, boss."
When it comes to Ao Island, the most famous one is its gaming industry, which is one of the three largest gambling cities in the world. Li Mo's knowledge of Aodao was only about tourism, shopping and gambling, so when he came out of Aodao International Airport, his first thought was to go shopping first, and then go to Aodao Antique Old Street.
As for Jia Siyuan's matter, let's take it easy for the time being. That kid is so arrogant, and he will feel better when he falls into his hands. The person who came to pick up Li Mo at the airport was Viper. He drove him towards the most upscale hotel in Ao Island in an ordinary car rented locally.
People from Safe Shield Company had chartered a flight to Ao Island two days earlier, and based on the information provided by Li Mo, they had gone to every corner to find out the news.
"Have you found the boy?"
"We have found that kid. He has been hiding in Tianhe Entertainment. He is not under strict control. He still wanders around there every day and keeps making small moves. Boss, this is a bit weird."
"He lives quite comfortably, so let him live happily for two more days. Let's go to the hotel to arrange accommodation first, and then take me around. This is my first time here after growing up. Let's first feel the customs here and the inland. What’s the difference?”
Tomorrow is the National Day holiday in the mainland, and Macao Island will also see a peak in the number of tourists, and the gaming industry here will also usher in a peak. Of course, most of Australia Island's gambling revenue comes from VIP rooms, where people lose hundreds of thousands or even millions, starting from a small amount of money.
Li Mo once read a report that there is a licensed gaming company in Australia Island, whose monthly income can reach up to more than 3 billion. Just think about it and you will know how many rich people have fallen into it.
Although it was Li Mo's first time here, the information provided by Mr. Qin was quite comprehensive. After all the hotel arrangements were made, Viper drove him around in the car.
"Boss, in fact, there is not much to see in Ao Island. Any tourist attraction in the mainland is prettier than this one. It's just that some of the buildings here have a bit of an exotic style, which can make people's eyes shine."
Li Mo visited three places and felt they were very ordinary, because this is one of the three most famous gambling cities in the world. According to statistics, nearly 30,000 people from all over the world walk into the casino every day, trying to get a lot of money here. The short-lived excitement and the realization of the dream of getting rich easily, so very few people actually come to hang out.
"Go to the Ruins of St. Paul's. There is an antique street over there. Let's go check it out."
The extension of the Ruins of St. Paul's is a famous antique street. Like the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai and the Confucius Temple in Jinling, there are a lot of passengers here every day, and it is even more crowded during holidays. The shops on the old street include jade, lacquerware, porcelain, wood carvings, antiques, second-hand designer bags, watches, etc. There are even old Chinese furniture and European and American classical furniture.
There is also a flea market near the old street. Many vendors gather there every day. There are regular rows of stalls on the ground. Tourists can walk through it and inquire about the ones they like.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car parked in the centralized parking lot near the Ruins of St. Paul's. Li Mo held a mung bean popsicle in one hand and a map in the other. Viper followed closely behind him. He now took over Brown Bear's job and temporarily protected his boss.
"Boss, there are so many people here, many of them are from the mainland."
"Tomorrow is the first day of the National Day holiday, and there will be more people. Looking at the lively scene, I feel like I have returned to the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai, with the aroma of various delicacies and snacks filling the air. Are you hungry? Why don't we buy two to try? ?”
"Boss, you ordered a lot of dishes for lunch, and I haven't digested the food yet."
"Forget it, let's find a specialty restaurant to try local delicacies in the evening. Come on, follow me into those antique shops. Do you remember what I told you before? If I see something good, you have to be there in time. Please cooperate with me."
"Boss, I kept it all in mind, but you explained it so seriously, and I started to get nervous even before I entered the antique store." Viper said a little distressed, he really didn't know how to cooperate.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it if you cooperate a few times."
Li Mo walked to the door of an antique store that sold appreciation stones. He followed the flow of people into the store. There were many people inside, most of whom were selecting products. Li Mo looked around. There were two rows of counters in the store. There were all kinds of strange stones in different and bright colors. There are two rows of antique shelves against the wall behind the counter. The shelves are filled with works carved from various stones.
"Boss, the surface color of those stones looks so red. Are they the legendary bloodstones?"
Viper asked softly.
"The same size of soapstone is enough to buy 10,000 pieces of this stone. This is a stone with red impurities. You can call it an appreciation stone. It looks very distinctive, but it is just a stone."
Viper scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "When we have nothing to do in Kyoto, we brothers will read some antique books. I am more impressed by the chicken blood stone."
"There's nothing to see here, let's find another one."
Li Mo smiled and walked into the porcelain shop next door after leaving the shop. This shop is more than twice the size of the one next door, and its shelves are filled with all kinds of porcelain and ceramics. The exquisite style and exquisite craftsmanship make many tourists willing to bargain. But they mainly focus on porcelain, and almost no one cares about the small part of ceramics.
At a glance, Li Mo saw that the quality of the imitation porcelain here was really good, comparable to the high imitation porcelain sold in the Gu Yunxuan store in the Magic City. It seems that the boss here is also a smart person. Instead of fooling customers with old and broken porcelain, he would rather make high-quality porcelain with craftsmanship so that customers can't help but buy it after seeing it.
He slowly looked at the porcelain on the shelf, and finally came to the corner, where more than ten celadon-glazed ceramics were placed. Ceramics are far from exquisite in terms of shape or glaze craftsmanship, so displaying them in a porcelain shop is just a foil.
Li Mo glanced at it and was about to turn around when his eyes suddenly returned to one of the pottery pots. It was a green-glazed pottery pot. The reason why Li Mo's attention was caught was that there was a poem on the pottery pot.
The earliest poetry pot appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, a period after the Anshi Rebellion.
The poem on the pottery pot in front of me reads: Before you gave birth to me, I gave birth to you and you are already old. You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early.
This is a five-character poem from the Tang Dynasty. Many people have heard of this poem. It reflects the deep friendship between two people who love each other despite the age gap. The reason why this poem is known to people today is not because it was included in an anthology of Tang poetry and passed down from generation to generation, but because it was originally from a piece of Tang ceramics unearthed in the mainland, and the author is unknown.
Currently, there are two identical Tang Dynasty poetry pots collected in mainland museums. There is only one word difference in the poem above. One is "I gave birth to you, you are old", the other is "I gave birth to you, so you are old". The latter one is It is stored in the Jinling Museum, and Li Mo happened to visit it before.
Because this poem was touching, Li Mo turned back and looked at it a few more times. But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the Tang Dynasty poetry pot on the Bogu shelf was a little different. He couldn't help but scan it with his special pupils, and the celadon-glazed poetry pot actually transmitted a light red halo, and then formed a red halo that spread around.
This pottery pot is truly authentic from the Tang Dynasty.
"Hello, sir, if you like anything, I'll take it off for you to take a closer look at." A female shop assistant in her thirties came over and asked in standard Mandarin.
"I don't particularly like them, I just think these ceramics are very special. I'd like to ask where you buy them. I'll buy some when I go back."
The female clerk was stunned for a moment, and then said with a professional smile: "Sir, you may be disappointed. These ceramics are not purchased from any company, but we purchased them from the mainland through personal connections."
"Is that so..." Li Mo had a look of disappointment on his face, and then asked, "Then how do you sell this ceramic?"
He pointed at random.
Viper had been standing nearby. When he saw the boss looking at him, he immediately understood that the boss had taken a fancy to a certain piece of ceramics.
"If your husband likes it, you can take it away for only 3,000 yuan. Our cost of acquiring it from the mainland is close to 2,500 yuan, so we don't make much money."
The female clerk said it very sincerely, as if the price difference was just a little hard-earned money.
Li Mo despised her a little. In the Mainland, he could pick these things for tens of dollars, but they became a rare thing in her mouth. But if others are acting, why aren't you acting?
"Master, three thousand yuan is not worth it. This thing is only five hundred yuan at most." The viper started to play, and he killed the price all at once.
"Only two hundred?" Li Mo asked deliberately in surprise, and then looked at the female clerk with a somewhat unkind look, as if to say that you still want to fool me.
"I'm sorry, sir, the lowest price for the ceramic piece you are interested in is 3,000 yuan. You said these three pieces are worth 500 yuan." The female clerk responded very quickly, without changing color on her face, and pointed to the other three pieces. One of them happened to be the Tang Dynasty celadon poetry pot.
"Forget it, I'll just buy something and take it back. It's a rare trip to Ao Island. If you don't buy something, it would be a waste of time. Just that pot with poetry on it."
The female clerk said with a smile on her face: "Okay sir, after I package it for you, please pay here."
Soon, Viper followed Li Mo out of the porcelain shop carrying the packaged celadon poetry pot.
"Boss, which dynasty is this pot from?"
"During the late Tang Dynasty, there were not many unearthed ceramics with poetry and prose of this kind. There were only twenty or thirty pieces in total. They were collectively called celadon-brown poetry pots. The one you are holding in your hand is also called Tang Qingglai 'Jun Sheng Wo' Wei Sheng's Poetry Pot."
Li Mo walked in front with his hands behind his back and continued: "You saw those ceramics just now. What was the first thing you thought of?"
"Boss, I don't have any idea. I don't recognize these antiques. They all look the same in my eyes."
"When I first saw it, I thought of the fireworks of the Tang Dynasty. Every piece of ceramics like this is a treasure. I didn't expect to encounter a third piece here, and I don't know where they found it in the mainland. of."
"The world is full of fireworks!" Viper muttered a few words, feeling more and more that these words were too beautiful to describe and very artistic, "Boss, you are more knowledgeable."
"Haha, I just moved the content from the book here. Viper, you have to be careful about the treasure in your arms. Take it back and place it in Gu Yunxuan Hall No. 1. It will also be a treasure. Especially the one on the pot. The poem has been circulating for so long, enough for many people to rush to see its true appearance up close. Let’s go and visit other stores.”
