Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 96



Handan used to be the capital of the State of Zhao, and the word Handan toddler originated here, and Handan was next to Pengcheng, which was the birthplace of the Cizhou Kiln’s Eight Classics in ancient times, and the Cizhou Kiln had white-carved plum vases and porcelain pillows. Famous, in the past, people who shoveled land from all over the world to collect antiques would go to Handan when they came to Hebei. Those people wanted to receive Cizhou kiln tiger pillows and sell them at high prices to make a fortune.

The green leather train was running slowly. At that time, there was no high-speed rail station in Handan area. There was only Handan West Station. After packing our luggage, we got off the train at around 10:[-] p.m.

"Do you stay in a hotel?"

"Single room, double room, bathing and charging, only 30 yuan a night!"

"The name is Wei County, the name is Wei County, one person is short of departure immediately!"

When I left the train station, I shouted at people staying in hotels, and people who drove black cars to work, and people kept approaching me to strike up a conversation.

Bean Sprout yawned and said, "Yunfeng, turn your head, let's find a place to stay for the night, this place is unfamiliar and I don't know the way, so don't wander around at night, okay?"

The small hotel near the train station is dirty and messy. I really don't want to live in it, but there are other people at the moment, and I have to consider other people's thoughts and feelings.

I asked Zhao Xuanxuan, Miss, are you tired, should we stay in a small hotel or find someone.

Zhao Xuanxuan said listlessly: "I think what Bean Sprout said is right, we'd better find a place to live and wait for the dawn to continue. We're all here, and we're not in a hurry for a few hours."

"Okay, then let's rest at night and get back to recovery."

I waved to the woman who was soliciting customers just now.

"Young man, are you staying at the hotel?" The woman trotted over immediately.

We have three extra rooms, and the female boss wants 120. Bean Sprouts is used to the hard life on the boat, and desperately bargained with her. Later, this woman accidentally saw the mobile phone she was using, her eyes lit up, and she bit the price to death. Don't let go.

At that time, the mobile phone I was holding was Bird s2000, with a market price of more than 3000 yuan. The Nokia 8210 at the same time was only more than 2000 yuan. The advertisement that Bird advertised back then was a fighter jet in a mobile phone, with a flip cover and a one-inch display with a radio function. Awesome No, Samsung Ericsson has to stand aside.

This woman saw that we used thousands of mobile phones, that's why she refused to lower the price, she didn't want to waste time on such trivial things, she shook her hand and said that's it.

The place where I live is a guest house, three floors, the environment is average, I share a room with Bean Sprouts, the first room, and Miss Zhao's room.Ms. Zhao asked the proprietress where to take a shower, and the answer she got was that there were only public bathrooms for men and women.She may have a cleansing habit and didn't adapt, so she didn't go.

At 11:30 in the evening, I came back from the shower in drag, and when I passed the corridor, I suddenly saw a wave of more than a dozen people going up to the third floor at the same time, and then the third floor continued to be noisy.

The person on duty at the front desk was a young girl with red hair and spirit in her early twenties. I walked over and asked curiously, "Hey, beauty, what are you doing on the third floor?"

The spirit girl yawned with her chin in her hands, and said sleepily, "The rendezvous is about to start. Today is the 16th. Those are antiques."

As soon as I heard about bed rendezvous, I became interested.

Came across this is.

Bed fairs can be regarded as a trading method that only exists in antique shops. It is said that it existed in the Qing Dynasty. Everyone is selling things on the hotel bed, using the bed as a medium to exchange utensils.

I have heard about it long ago, but I have never had the chance to see it with my own eyes. Now I must go to see the excitement.

Called Bean Sprouts and went up to the third floor. We saw more than a dozen rooms with their doors open, passing through the corridor in the middle, and the view inside the room was unobstructed.

Vendors in twos and threes sat cross-legged on the floor playing cards, the bedding on the bed was tidy, rows of antique goods were neatly placed, including porcelain, ancient jade, bronze Buddha statues, ancient scrolls, miscellaneous treasures, if people passing by in the corridor fell in love with it For a certain item on the bed, the door will be knocked three times first. Three knocks means that the buyer is coming to see the goods, and four knocks means that a colleague wants to come and get acquainted.

Although Bean Sprouts knew nothing about antiques, he was still very interested. When he walked to the end of the corridor, something in the room caught my attention.

The shopkeeper is a bald man in his 50s with a Northwest accent.

My first impression of this person is that he is a tomb robber, and he is a colleague.This person has an earthy smell, and the earthy smell I am referring to is not the earthy smell of smell. How to put it, it is like throwing two chefs together, and one person says you are a dry kitchen, and you can smell it from a long distance Your body smells like lard and scallions.

After entering the room, the man said indifferently: "There is no cage leak (no leak picking)."

I smiled and didn't speak, and continued to look at that thing.

There is a layer of quilt on the bed, and on the quilt is a bluestone carving board with a length and width of about 30cm. The overall stone carving is made of bas-relief craftsmanship. It should be a male figure with three heads and three faces. , you can vaguely see some ancient stone inscriptions with complex strokes.

"Can you get started, brother," I pointed to this thing.

The man said lightly: "Take it easy, this is something of a high age."

I nodded and said yes.

I have never seen such a stone statue of Guanyin, with three heads and three faces. The front face is full of compassion with low eyebrows and narrow eyes. The strange shape, and the open face of the male Guanyin, this must be a treasure.Because I have never seen it, judging from the texture and weathering of the bluestone, I preliminarily dated it to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

This thing is definitely not a handed down product, it has a high probability that it came out of a certain tomb.

"What's the price, brother?" I asked him.

"28." The man quoted the price indifferently

Bean Sprouts stared: "Crap, 28! I think this thing is okay, I'll give you 30! No need to look for it!"

I hurriedly stopped Bean Sprouts and said with a smile: "Brother who just entered the industry, don't be surprised. Brother, I see that the mouth of this thing is dry. Dare I ask, but it came from Ningxia and Inner Mongolia?"

The man's face changed, and he got up suddenly and closed the door.

He walked in and handed over a cigarette, and whispered: "Good eyesight, brother, I can tell you are young, where are you going?"

Before I could reply, Bean Sprouts immediately grabbed the conversation: "The leader of the Northern faction! Have you heard of it!"

The man was taken aback for a moment, looked at me and asked, "A recruit?"

"He's just here, brother, don't laugh at him," I pointed to the door and said, "It's fate to meet each other. How about we go downstairs and get to know each other? Let's see if there is any way to make money that we can cooperate with."

"Okay."

While putting on his clothes, he said, "I have encountered difficulties in a project recently. If you are interested, you can talk about it."

Before leaving, I asked him to take the stone carving and show it to my head, because I didn't think I could figure it out. If I had a good eye, I might be able to see something.

When they went down to the second floor and saw the boss, after both parties reported their homes, the man took out the stone carving.

He looked at his head carefully, and kept rubbing the three-faced Avalokitesvara with his hands. After a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"This is something from the Western Xia Buddha Kingdom."
