The space under the abandoned mine was not very large, and now it was even more stretched with three people squeezed in. A secret discussion in such a dim environment felt a bit like an underground battle.
There were no outsiders present. Everyone present was a tomb robber, and they started talking straight to the point.
I asked: "Sister Yu, were you responsible for the Baiyi Temple?"
Yao Yumen looked surprised and said how did you know.
I found cigarette butts from Inner Mongolia cigarettes in a cave on Qingyang Road. I knew...
This group of people from the north came from Inner Mongolia.
Efficient, fast, bold and professional.
These people are by no means comparable to dabblers like me and Dou Sprout. They are a real organization.
I tentatively asked again: "Is Baima Temple stocking up?"
Yao Yumen's face was calm and he said: "It's my uncle's wish. He has been having trouble recently and is a little tight on money. In addition, our group of people have been waiting in Yinchuan for a long time, so I couldn't help but do it. But Mingta does It's not as good as the Song Pagoda, and it's even worse than the Tang Pagoda. Fortunately, we shipped a pair of "Da Xuan", so we can just save money."
Anyway, Master Yao is no longer here. Let me tell you what happened back then.
The Baiyi Temple Pagoda was built in the fourth year of Chongzhen, that is, 1631 AD. It was first called Bai'an Temple. The Baiyi Temple was two hundred years earlier than the Pagoda. In other words, there was the Baiyi Temple first and then the Baiyi Pagoda.
The "Daxuan" in Sister Yu's mouth does not refer to the name Xiaoxuan. Daxuan refers to the blue and white porcelain from the Yongle and Xuande dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. Antique shops say that Yongxuan does not separate the family. As long as it is moneyless, it is called Su Mali. Blue and white porcelain fired with cyan cobalt material is collectively called Daxuan. They got a pair of Xuande blue and white Sanskrit high-foot offering bowls. These two small bowls should have been used to put butter, like Buddha headlamps.
There is a very small underground palace under the foundation of the Baiyi Temple Pagoda, covering an area of less than ten square meters. There are two gilt-bronze Medicine Buddhas and a wooden prayer flag. These few small things add up to more than 100,000 yuan. If not This pair of Sanskrit Daxuan bowls was sold at a high price, which was really not enough money for the work.
At that time, Qingyang Road was opposite the Rabbit Farm, and there was a construction site. There was an abandoned well within the construction site that needed to be backfilled. Yao, the leader, spent money to buy the connections, and all the soil that came up from digging holes was buried in the well. After such operations, Ordinary people can't even notice it.
As for the robbery hole, according to what I heard, it was not backfilled. In the next few years, when Lanzhou carried out city reconstruction, the robbery hole was dug out. Because of the deadline, the big problem was reduced to a small matter in the end. Fortunately, no one had any trouble.
.......
Near evening, Sister Yu and the others left. When they left, he told me this:
"Yunfeng, you must remember that the morning after tomorrow, you bury white flags from the mine, with the flags facing southwest, one every one kilometer, until 30 flags are planted."
"You must hide well. If things go well, a person will knock on the wooden board at the entrance of the cave the night after tomorrow, ten times in total. Then you ask him if he is here to visit. If he says yes, it is Liao Sanding. If he doesn't say anything, Or if you say no, you must be extremely careful at this time, the other party may not be one of ours."
"Do you remember all this I said?"
I nodded in understanding, and then asked puzzledly: "What about Sister Yu? What will happen if Liao Sanding comes? What will we do if he doesn't come in the end?"
Sister Yu thought for a while and said: "If Liao Sanding comes, you just wait here."
"If you don't come, it proves that something went wrong in Wang Baotou's plan. You three must go back to Yinchuan and hide as soon as possible."
"Yunfeng, now we are like playing football. There are coaches, goalkeepers, players, team doctors, substitutes, backups, etc. in a game. Wang Bantou is now like a forward who has a chance to shoot."
"You must pass the ball to him."
"If the ball is scored, you will have the last laugh and take the trophy home."
"As for the camels you brought, my brother and I need to borrow them temporarily, and we will take care of them for you."
"There's going to be a war, cheer up."
Sister Yu left after saying these words.
"What do you want to do with your head, Yunfeng?" Dou Sprout rubbed his face hard after Yao Yumen left.
I shook my head and said that I didn't know, so we could do whatever we were asked to do. After two days, we would put up a white flag as a road sign and then pick up Liao Sanding.
Dou Sprout said "Oh" and said nothing.
.....
Two days later in the morning.
"Is this okay, Fengzi?"
"No, you have to bury it deeper and expose a little bit of your head."
Dou Sprout pressed down again.
"Okay, pile it tightly with sand."
I raised my head and looked at the big sun: "Speed up, it's already half past noon and it's not ready yet."
In this way, we walked about one kilometer and buried a white flag along the southwest direction. We were lucky enough that there was no strong wind in Alxa that day.
We finished this quickly and slowly. By the time we returned to the mine hut, it was already past 8 pm. We were sweating all over. Dou Sprout drank two bottles of water and burped while shirtless.
"Do you think Liao Sanding can come over? Fengzi."
"I don't know, but the small flag with red letters on the white background looks conspicuous at night. As long as he can see the flag we buried, he should be able to find it along the road."
We covered it with wooden boards when we came down. Now we are waiting and no one dares to sleep.
11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, I take out my mobile phone to check the time from time to time.
"Don't sleep!" I saw Dou Sprout's eyelids fighting.
Xiaoxuan yawned and shrank.
I was also very sleepy, so I forced myself to cheer myself up.
It was late at night, 3:30 in the morning.
"Ta! Ta-ta!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the plank over the pit.
Late at night, the tapping sound was particularly harsh.
I remember Sister Yu’s instructions, no matter who is above, there will be no reply until I knock ten times.
eight.
Nine.
I don’t know if this person remembered it wrong, but he paused for a moment when he reached the ninth stroke.
My nervous palms were sweating.
"despair."
No more, no less, exactly ten times.
I immediately stood up and shouted: "Are you just visiting?"
Soon, hoarse words came.
"yes."
"Uncle Liao!" My face lit up, it was right!
The wooden board slowly moved away, and a flashlight shined right on me.
The person who came had gray hair and a face full of travel dust. He was none other than Liao Sanding and Liao Bo, who I had met once before.
With our help, Liao Sanding slowly slid down the rope with a big bag on his back.
"Is there water?" he asked first when he came down.
"Yes, yes," I hurriedly handed him a bottle of water.
Uncle Liao had chapped lips and sand on his head. He unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a whole bottle of water.
"We still have not enough."
He waved his hand and muttered that enough was enough.
"Uncle Liao, why are you here?" I asked the first question.
He patted the sand on his head, looked at me and said, "It's impossible not to come. Wang Xiansheng's price is very high. However, this place is so hard to find. If it weren't for those red and white flags along the way, I would never have come." I can’t find it here.”
At this time, Douyazai frowned and said: "Uncle Liao, aren't you a repairman? What, you came all the way here just to repair things?"
Liao Sanding rubbed his hands after hearing this, looked at Dou Sprout and said:
"Young man, you are only half right. Our old Liao family is not only good at repairing things."
"I can still make things."
"doing things?"
"What do we want you to do with your head?" Dou Sprout asked the old man curiously?
"Haha," Liao Sanding said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know what to do. I have to wait for Wang Xiansheng to bring the things over before I can decide."
Liao Sanding was not bragging. He relied on his inherited skills to do whatever he said he wanted to do with them.
This person has a lot of background.
The great ancestor of Liao Sanding was named Liao Hong. He was a craftsman in the manufacturing office during the Qianlong and Yongzheng dynasties. Liao Hong was a proficient carpenter, blacksmith, and handyman. His methods of imitating the ancient times were amazing. However, this man was mute and could not speak, so although he was highly skilled , but in the end he couldn't get an official position and worked as an antique craftsman in the manufacturing office all his life.
Qianlong was fond of antique things. At that time, the imperial kiln factory that Tang Ying was responsible for mainly imitated the five famous porcelain kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty. Liao Hong was working in the manufacturing office to imitate antique bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, and jades. In the end, he wanted to have both spirit and form for Qianlong to enjoy. .
After Liao Hong's death, it was passed down for seven generations. By the Republic of China, the manufacturing office in the palace had long been disbanded, but the Liao family's craftsmanship continued. So Liao Sanding's grandfather, Liao Jia, went to Rongbaozhai to Helping others to forge antiques, Rongbaozhai was able to rise at that time, and Liao Sanding's grandfather Liao Jia was indispensable. His imitations deceived the eyes of many experts, including Yue Bin, the king of counterfeiters.
Counterfeiting is tantamount to counterfeiting.
Today, an industrial chain has been formed.
Because I have been exposed to it, I know some cheating methods.
There are three main types of bronze artifacts.
Low-grade ones use strong acid glue. If you encounter this kind of thing, just lick it with your tongue and you will know.
For intermediate level, throw the bronze into the pit for a month, then fish it out and bury it in the soil for a year. After a year, take it out and dry it again until the smell disappears. The red spots and green embroidery on the bronze made by this method will look more like the real thing. Yes, the way to identify it is to scrape it with a knife. The genuine ones are covered with bone-penetrating rust that has been buried for thousands of years and cannot be scraped off.
The advanced one is to splice together, for example, two or three pieces of leftovers, remove a leg here, remove an ear there, and finally use special glue boiled in fish bladders to put them together and apply soil on them. It is very strong and is made of original leather. The original rust is not visible to ordinary people if it is well made.
As for fake calligraphy and painting, there are copying, printing, dyeing and peeling.
Peeling off the layers is the most powerful thing. You can't tell the authenticity from the fake. You just peel off one layer of a painting and re-frame it. In the end, one real painting becomes two real paintings. Most of the time you encounter this, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Jade counterfeiting.
Stamping, vomit pit, computer engraving, rough stone dyeing.
Counterfeit porcelain.
There are too many things like re-painting old colors and new paintings, reburning old ones, one-to-one computer stamping, making flint red, deliberately breaking them and then wrapping them with gold, etc.
The counterfeiting method of Liao Sanding's family history is the most advanced of all the methods mentioned above.
I also realized it later.
This is a dangerous chess move with wild and unconstrained abilities.
The so-called wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Will it succeed in the end?
It also depends on what brings the head out of Blackwater City.
