It's still the same street, still a combination of a child and an old man, but the old man Yu Peng was familiar with is no longer there. I don't know if he was transferred away for retirement or some other situation.
Although this old man looked as muddy and lifeless when he looked at Yu Peng, he could not hide his murderous aura.
Yu Peng is a frequent visitor to this place. After all, not everyone can bring a few antiques here to buy and sell them every now and then. He almost regards this as a job.
Sitting in a slightly higher-standard reception room, Yu Peng thought about recent events and waited for "Mr. Ye" to come over.
Ever since Yu Peng grew up, the few times he came here, the person who received him was "Mr. Ye", the same person who received him for the first time. This was of course not normal, especially one day when Yu Peng came in the afternoon. Yes, it was still "Ye Lao" who received him.
Yu Peng didn't know the reason, but he didn't care. Every time he put down his things, took the money after appraising the price, and left. There weren't many real exchanges.
The standard of this reception room is also a bit high. Not to mention it is spacious. The waiter who makes tea next to it, according to normal people's aesthetics, can be regarded as the Qingguo type, right?
He has a well-proportioned figure, wears simple ancient-style robes, and has fair and supple skin. He makes tea and pours tea. Every action he makes is just like in the painting. Even Yu Peng finds it interesting when he looks at it.
But it just felt interesting, that's all. The tea this girl made was just like that, not as good as the tea she made herself.
Moreover, when it comes to fairy aura, the spirit body in my family is really aura, and this girl is far behind.
All the beauty that was given to Yu Peng was in vain, just like a rose dropped in the mud, more like a rose on cow dung, it was in vain. Not to mention that Yu Peng is 13 years old, even if he is 23 years old, his heart will not be shaken.
After a while, "Mr. Ye" knocked on the door and entered the house.
When he first met "Ye Lao", Yu Peng was three years old. At that time, "Ye Lao" was in his twenties, young and energetic. Now his temples have begun to have white hair, and his words and deeds are getting worse. Becoming more and more calm.
When "Mr. Ye" sat down, Yu Peng took out two jade tokens from his pocket and put them on the table as before. However, the difference from before was that when he put down the jade tokens, Yu Peng said
"I'm looking for some special materials recently. They must be extremely hard, have high density, and be difficult to destroy by ordinary external forces. If I can find them, I'm willing to trade them for two high-grade spiritual weapons."
As an appraiser, "Mr. Ye" naturally has a good eye. When Yu Peng took out the jade plaque from his pocket, he saw the general style and even had a rough estimate. It was just equal to Peng's. When my hand left the jade sign, I was still calm and calm on the surface, but deep inside I felt like a turbulent wave, and I was shaking wildly.
In the past, it was okay if you just took out a jade jade antique. At most, I thought your family was rich. What is this? This is a spiritual weapon. A spiritual weapon. If you put it in other places, which family would not regard it as an ancestor. When you offer it, you just take it out of your pocket?
Moreover, someone who can easily take out two high-grade spiritual weapons, what kind of family do you have?
Of course, these were just thoughts for a moment. Yu Peng sensed the magnetic field fluctuations of "Ye Lao". When he looked at "Ye Lao", he happened to see a stream of white smoke coming out of the top of his head. It was not hair, but The brain thinks too much at a moment, and after being stimulated, the heat generated in a short period of time is dissipated.
Yu Peng felt embarrassed when he wanted to laugh, so he kept it there. "Mr. Ye" didn't say anything either. The two of them looked at each other in a tacit understanding.
After holding it in for a long time, "Ye Lao" was still more calm. He asked Yu Peng in detail what he wanted to buy. After thinking for a while, he responded that Yu Peng said to give him three days, and Yu Peng would come over in three days. .
Yu Peng left the jade token, turned around and walked away gracefully, leaving "Mr. Ye" there rubbing his hands and waiting for a long time before going to a room inside to discuss with his eldest brother and second sister.
Inside the antique shop, there is a very old-fashioned and simple bungalow, one bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. The living room is equipped with two very old-fashioned wide benches, which belonged to the original owner of the antique shop, Mr. Ye. All the antiques at that time were passed through this living room and then sold.
Later, it developed slowly, and the area became larger and larger, with more and more houses, but this one has always been preserved and is still in use today.
When something particularly big happens, the owners of the Ye family will discuss countermeasures in this room, just like now.
The eldest son of the Ye family sat on one bench, and the second and third children sat on the opposite bench.
There are three "Ye Laos" in this generation of the Ye family. The eldest of the Ye family is called Ye Shen. He is over forty years old. His personality is also like his name. He is steady and cautious, generous and has the style of a big family. He makes some key decisions in the family. , and it’s all him who has the final say.
The second child is a woman named Ye Ming. She is in her thirties, but she has a loli face. She looks cute and well-behaved, but she is actually a very shrewd person. She usually takes care of the family's accounts. Moreover, she has been very talented in treasure appraisal since she was a child. Usually when she encounters something that cannot be solved, she is the one who comes forward to solve it.
The third child is the one who has been dealing with Yu Peng, his name is Ye Zhen. He was handsome when he was young, and now he is a bit mature and stable. Compared to the eldest brother and second sister, he is a bit ordinary, but there is no pressure, and he is getting along. It is the most leisurely.
Ye Ming was rubbing two jade tiles in his hand. They were very ordinary square tiles, but the aura they contained was so powerful that he almost drooled. The jade tiles hidden in the antique shop were different from these two tiles. In comparison, it's not even a little bit worse.
My three brothers and sisters also grew up relying on the nourishment of spiritual weapons since they were young. They are very familiar with these things, but they have not handled such high-quality spiritual weapons for many years.
Ye Shen looked at the jade token that his second sister had been holding on to, and stretched out his hand to grab it.
"Second sister, it's almost okay. If you touch it, you can only absorb so much spiritual energy."
Ye Ming was robbed of something by his elder brother. He pouted and responded coquettishly.
"Brother, we haven't seen a spiritual weapon of this quality for many years, and we still haven't recognized its owner. It's full of spiritual energy. If I don't touch it for a while, I'm really sorry for my delicate hands. I can only absorb as much as I can."
"Besides, you said to me, you took it just to suck a few mouthfuls." As she said this coquettishly, her hands were naturally not idle. A shadow swept towards the elder brother's hand and snatched one piece back.
Although Ye Ming's speed was so fast that it was difficult to detect it with the naked eye, Ye Shen was not unable to guard against it. He just didn't guard against it. He took the remaining jade plaque and looked at it carefully.
Ye Ming grabbed something from his eldest brother. Whether he gave it to him intentionally or not, it made Ye Ming particularly happy. It felt like he was back to his childhood, when everyone was playing together, but when he saw that the third brother didn't react, he turned around. asked
"Third brother, you're not interested? It's not like your style."
Ye Zhen didn't reply. He grinned in response, but he was laughing wildly in his heart.
That child came at noon. Why didn’t I show it to you until evening?
Ye Ming saw Ye Zhen's thoughts at a glance, glanced at the third child with contempt, turned back to his eldest brother, and said in a serious tone
"This matter is a bit tricky. Someone who can get two high-grade spiritual weapons will naturally know its price, but I'm worried that we don't have what he wants to exchange for. This will easily damage our brand."
"It's a bit tricky, Third Brother, tell me about this person's situation and what he wants"?
The eldest brother and second sister both spoke, and then waited for the third child's response.
"This guest has come to us 12 times. He first came when he was three years old. There was a parent at that time. After he was eight years old, he would replace things by himself. The things were quite complicated and he had everything. I have sold everything from antique jades, gold and silver jewelry, and some jade and jade. I thought he was here to sell things this time, but I didn't expect that he would just come here with two spiritual weapons in his pocket."
When talking about this, Ye Zhen still felt a little dazed. He thought of something that happened at that time, and then said
"But I really didn't realize it before. He is an accomplished master of Taoism."
"A successful cultivator? How do you say that?" Hearing this, Ye Shen asked solemnly.
"When he took the spiritual weapon out of his pocket and put it on the table, I didn't feel any fluctuations in spiritual energy. It wasn't until he took off his hand that the spiritual energy escaping from the spiritual weapon told me that it was a spiritual weapon. A top-grade spiritual weapon. I didn't see him make any other movements during the whole process, so he was basically relying on his own cultivation to suppress the spiritual energy."
Hearing this, the eldest brother and the second sister took a deep breath.
On the one hand, he was shocked that this child had such advanced cultivation at such a young age. On the other hand, he was shocked that a small place like Chengde could actually hide such a powerful Taoist master.
No wonder he has been coming here to resell various antiques since he was a child, spending money like water. No wonder he can take out two spiritual weapons. This is not a Taoist inheritance, and he really has no such foundation.
At this time, Ye Ming also interjected a sentence
"If I read it correctly, these two spiritual weapons are both newly made and did not take long to make."
After saying this, the three people in the room stopped talking. They didn't dare to speak and didn't know what to say.
Antique shops are indeed quite famous in North China, and the three Mr. Ye are also very qualified, but they are only limited to valuable objects in the world.
Spiritual weapons are not something that can be bought with money. No matter how many large families, clans or aristocratic families have hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, they may not necessarily have a few high-quality spiritual weapons that are available.
Not to mention, there are fewer and fewer people who can make spiritual weapons.
The antique shop with its profound heritage only has four spiritual weapons, which were collected at high prices in the early years and have been kept for future generations.
Ye Ming and Ye Zhen really have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so they can only look at their elder brother
"We will be busy with this matter for the next few days. Let's go to the library and search carefully to see if there is anything like what he said. He didn't specify what it was. Just take a look and bring out all similar things. He picked, if it is available, it is a good luck to find it, we can give it a discount, either take it or resell it, it doesn’t matter. If you can’t find something suitable and you have to return it, there is nothing you can do.”
After the eldest brother spoke, the two of them did not hesitate. They arranged their tasks and went straight to the warehouse together.
The warehouse of an antique shop is naturally not a simple warehouse, but a two-story basement buried underground, with an area as large as a stadium. Utensils of various ages, types, and sizes are sorted separately and stored in their respective houses. .
There are also some restricted areas that are not allowed to enter and exit at will. Most of them are kept for others or extremely valuable things.
Of course there are no supernatural events here. The owner of the antique shop has always been very knowledgeable about ghosts and gods. Even the ghosts of the first-generation owner who died are still watching the scene from the basement.
It's just that in this generation, their psychic abilities are not that strong, so they cannot see or communicate with their ancestors for a long time, and they can only occasionally have brief conversations through dreams.
Going into the warehouse to search is one thing, and another reason is naturally to ask for help from the ancestors. After all, the ancestors are the ones who are most familiar with this place.
