"Brother, where did you get the bell? It sounds very nice."
Early the next morning, while sitting in the car driven by Zheng Dagang, Su Xiaoxiao kept staring at the wind chime in her brother's hand. She reached out to play with it for a while before returning it to Su Xiaofan.
"I bought it yesterday and will put it back home to support my family."
Su Xiaofan told the truth, if the little sister asked about the price, he would tell her, but it was obvious that Su Xiaoxiao didn't think how much a copper bell was worth, so he didn't mention the price at all.
"In the future, I will also look for some real magic weapons to sell."
Zheng Dagang, who was driving, said that he did not say that the bell was expensive at this moment. Su Xiaofan bought it for 1.2 million. As long as he wanted to sell it, 1.8 million could be sold at any time, and Zhao Hengjian could take over.
This huge profit greatly stimulated Zheng Dagang. Although the profits of the fake magic weapons he usually sold were much higher than this bell, the price was not high. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. It was not like Jingxintang. Earn tens or millions from one order.
"Magical weapons? Brother Gang, aren't you originally selling magical weapons?"
Su Xiaoxiao sometimes goes to the market with her brother on weekends, so she naturally knows what kind of business Zheng Dagang is doing.
"Ahem..."
Zheng Dagang almost lost his breath after being asked by Su Xiaoxiao. He coughed twice and said, "The magical instruments your brother Gang used to sell were too low-grade. In the future, he will specialize in high-end ones."
A few people were chatting, and the car had already left the city and got onto the highway.
Sujia Village is located in the northern suburbs of Luochuan City, not far from the foot of Mang Mountain. After driving on the highway for a while, you have to go down the national highway, and then there is a section of country road, which is not very easy to walk.
"Xiao Fan, we don't know how many ancient tombs there are underground here."
The car was driving on the bumpy dirt road. Zheng Dagang looked at the foot of Mang Mountain not far away, pursed his lips and said: "Speaking of which, your village is not very far from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty King's Tomb. Are there any ancient ancient things underground there? Tomb?"
"There must be something. In the past, things were dug out when digging wells in the village, but Grandpa Six refused to allow digging, so no one dared to dig!"
Su Xiaofan nodded. To be honest, growing up at the foot of Mang Mountain, Su Xiaofan has really seen too many things like tombs. Not to mention the famous tombs, there are also many unknown tombs everywhere. All of them, the number is unimaginable.
There was a saying from the ancients that was "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang."
This sentence means that people should live in lively and prosperous places like Suzhou and Hangzhou while they are alive, and they should be buried in Beimang, a geomantic treasure land, after death. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that "there is little free land under Beimang Mountain".
Su Xiaofan has seen statistics before. There are more than 970 large-scale princely tombs here in Mang Mountain, and the number of ordinary ancient tombs is as many as hundreds of thousands. It can be said that you can find ancient tombs just by digging anywhere here. , tomb robbers of all ages have come here to rob tombs, and countless national treasures have been lost without a trace.
However, within the scope of Sujia Village, there has never been any tomb robbery in the past few decades. That is because the old village chief hates such things as eating the dead.
In the words of the old village chief, his ancestors might be buried on the top of a certain mountain, and those grandsons might dig their ancestors' tombs someday.
The old village chief organized a village protection team in the village decades ago. When he encountered people who came to explore the terrain and prepare to rob tombs, he would arrest them and send them directly to the police station. Those who came to Beimang Mountain for free would be arrested. Ten sentences out of ten will definitely not lead to injustice.
There used to be grave robbing gangs who wanted to take revenge on Sujia Village, but the people in Sujia Village were united and the people were strong. After the locals from other places suffered several losses, they no longer dared to come to Sujia Village to rob graves.
There were many people from the villages next to Sujia Village who went out to engage in the tomb robbing business. In some villages, more than half of the people were even engaged in this profession. But then they were caught and arrested, and the entire village was depressed.
On the contrary, Sujiacun has been making antique bronzes. Although the business was mediocre at the beginning, after the reputation was gained, the business got better and better. Now it can be said to be the richest village in the eight villages in ten miles.
After entering the boundary of Sujia Village, the road became easier. When the car drove to the entrance of the village, Su Xiaofan saw a red banner hanging at the entrance of the village.
"Warm congratulations to Su Xiaoxiao from our village for being admitted to Yenching University."
At the entrance of the village, the old village chief, who had just spoken to Su Xiaofan on the phone, was waiting there with a group of people.
Su Xiaofan asked Zheng Dagang to stop the car more than ten meters away from the village entrance, and then he and Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car and walked over.
"Okay, Xiao Xiao has a lot of potential."
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, the old village chief couldn't hide the smile on his face, "Our village finally has a college student from Yanjing."
The old village chief is seventy-six years old this year, but he is still energetic and in good health. He has long since retired from the position of village chief, but he still keeps his word in the village. Villagers who encounter problems still like to go to him. The village chief makes up his mind.
“Grandpa Six, that’s because you value education, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to have so many people in our village go to college.
"Su Xiaoxiao has stayed in the village longer than Su Xiaofan, and is very close to Grandpa Six. He stepped forward and took the old man's arm.
"It's better for you to learn on your own, little one."
The old village chief laughed loudly when he heard this, but when he saw Su Xiaofan, he glared at him angrily, "You are disobedient, kid. I told you that the village will pay for your tuition and let you review for a year and take the exam again. You just don’t listen!”
Su Xiaofan's academic performance was much better than his younger sister's before. If it hadn't been for the car accident, he would have been the first person to be admitted to Yenching University. To this day, the old village chief still regrets that Su Xiaofan failed to repeat the studies.
"I carry forward our village's craftsmanship, and that's business." Su Xiaofan said with a smile.
"You kid, why are you meddling in the matter between me and your father?"
The old village chief knew that Su Xiaofan was a little distant from him, so he sighed and said, "Don't go back today. There is a running water mat in the village, and you will probably have to eat until evening. You can go back early tomorrow morning. In addition, Xiaoxiao's first-year tuition fee will be provided by the village." ”
"Grandpa Six, the small tuition fee has been prepared." Su Xiaofan said quickly. He didn't want to go back to the village to borrow money. In the end, he just didn't want to accept the village chief's affection.
"Is Su Xiaoxiao from Sujia Village? Are you, Su Xiaofan, from Sujia Village?" The old village chief's eyes widened, showing signs that Su Xiaofan would fall out if he refused again.
"Okay, let's listen to Grandpa Six." Su Xiaofan agreed with a wry smile.
Apart from feeling a little jealous of the old village chief, Su Xiaofan was still very popular in the village. After introducing Zheng Dagang to everyone, a group of people walked towards the village.
"Um?"
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Su Xiaofan suddenly stopped and looked at the big bronze tripod at the entrance of the village.
[Hanwang Cauldron, a high-level magical weapon, can be absorbed! 】
A line of words suddenly appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind. Su Xiaofan, who was joking with someone, suddenly froze. He walked forward involuntarily and put his hand on the bronze tripod.
[Hanwang Cauldron, a high-level magical weapon, can be absorbed. Can it be absorbed? 】
After coming into contact with the bronze tripod, the option of whether to absorb or not appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
Su Xiaofan is no stranger to the bronze tripod that is as tall as a person at the entrance of the village. It has been placed here since he can remember. It has never been moved despite the wind and rain. When he was a child, Su Xiaofan often climbed with his friends. Go hide and seek in the cauldron.
Every time during the holidays, the old village chief would bring the people in the village to the entrance of the village to worship their ancestors in front of the bronze tripod. The people in Sujia Village were all very familiar with this bronze tripod.
Therefore, Su Xiaofan never expected that this bronze tripod called the King of Han Dynasty was actually a high-level magic weapon.
For so many years, Su Xiaofan had always thought that the bronze tripod was cast by the village itself, but the words Hanwang tripod displayed in his mind indicated that it should be an object from the Han Dynasty.
What shocked Su Xiaofan even more was that the words "absorbable" appeared in his mind. This was the first time Su Xiaofan encountered an absorbable object since the emergence of repair value.
But then, Su Xiaofan couldn't figure it out again. The bronze tripod from the Han Dynasty was so big. It was definitely a national treasure. Let alone tomb robbers, even the country would not allow it to be placed so casually. here.
"By the way, how did Uncle Jing know that there were magic weapons in Sujia Village?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly thought of something. When he bought the wind chime yesterday, Jing Shizhen seemed to have said that there was a magic weapon in Sujia Village, and he really told him about it.
Su Xiaofan felt as if there were many things, as if they were covered with a veil, as if he was about to be exposed to them, but also as if he didn't know anything.
"What's the matter? You haven't seen the tripod in our village?"
Seeing Su Xiaofan stop in front of the bronze tripod, the old village chief said angrily: "You have only been out for a few days and you have forgotten the treasure of our town and village?"
"Ahem, no, Grandpa Six, I think our bronze tripod must have been stored for decades. Why is there no patina at all?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Su Xiaofan coughed and took back his right hand that had been attached to the bronze tripod.
"This is the treasure of our village. Can it be the same as ordinary bronzes?" The old village chief snorted coldly without explaining much, and took Su Xiaoxiao's hand into the village.
"Xiaofan, the craftsmanship in your village is really good, you can make such a big tripod!"
Zheng Dagang, who was following behind, raised his thumb at Su Xiaofan. There is no larger ding that has been unearthed in China. If this is the Zunzhen Ding, it would be an exaggeration to call it a national treasure. .
"It's not necessarily what the village does."
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. He was extremely conflicted now.
This is the first time Su Xiaofan has encountered an absorbable object. Su Xiaofan believes that as long as he confirms the absorption, the repair value in his mind will definitely change.
But Su Xiaofan didn't know what would happen to the bronze tripod after it was absorbed.
If the bronze tripod decays or is damaged, then you will be the sinner of Sujia Village. After all, as the old village chief said, this is the "treasure of the town" of Sujia Village.
In the end, Su Xiaofan made up his mind not to absorb the bronze tripod.
Although Su Xiaofan chose not to absorb this high-level magic weapon, he still felt that he had gained a lot.
Because he knows that high-level magic weapons can be absorbed by the repair value in his mind. In this way, as long as he can find high-level magic weapons in the future, he can replenish the repair value.
