"1000 dollars."

"Impossible!" Upon hearing the price, the man became excited.

He looked a little annoyed.

"It's fine to bargain, little girl, you have cut too hard, right? I won't sell it, you should find another place."

"Is it too much?" An Xia said as she picked up the pearl in hand, "This pearl looks good, and the material is also top-notch. At first glance, it looks like a high-quality pearl, but there is a small flaw."

Yu Chen watched seriously, An Xia looked a little naive when he spoke, but what he said was very serious, and also a little cruel.

"The pearl is fake."

The boss's expression is unpredictable.

"Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." He suddenly changed his face, and when he said it with a sneer, his tone was already a little threatening.

An Xia was not panicked at all.

"Did I hit it?" She picked up the string of pearls. Judging from the appearance, it was perfect and impeccable. At first glance, the real ones could indeed be confused, but they couldn't stand up to scrutiny. They could only be said to be polished. The person who made this string of pearls is really a very powerful craftsman.

"So you're angry from embarrassment?" An Xia chuckled.

The boss snatched his pearl from An Xia's hands indifferently: "I can forgive you for being ignorant, but I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Generally speaking, most people who like to meddle in other people's business will end badly."

He lowered his voice if he pointed.

"Boss, you misunderstood." An Xia smiled, "I'm not here to disturb your business."

The boss was taken aback for a moment, but he was a little unclear about their intentions.

But still watching them vigilantly.

"I want to meet the man who made this string of pearls."

Although he didn't speak, Yu Chen, who had always had a very strong sense of presence, spoke, pointing directly to the center in one sentence.

The boss's gaze was unpredictable, looking back and forth between An Xia and Yu Chen.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I've been looking for such a craft for so long, and I've only seen it from you." Yu Chen sighed.

With a smile on her face, An Xia secretly rolled her eyes inwardly.

She said how could Yu Chen have time to chat with her here, unless there was something he had to do.

In fact, she was attracted by this string of pearls at a glance, and even she didn't recognize it for a while.

Just instinctively feel strange.

This kind of full-bodied pearl is worth a lot at first glance, [-] is simply the price of cabbage, and it is impossible for people who really know the goods to sell it at such a price.

And the people who have been here for a long time have some ability to appraise. It is impossible for the boss not to know the price of this string of pearls.

It was only after Yu Chen reminded her that the string of pearls was actually fake.

So An Xia was not at all surprised when Yu Chen proposed to meet someone who could make such exquisite handicrafts.

The boss was speechless: "Since this is the case, then you should understand that this is the guy I eat, and I am not so stupid that I will say whatever you ask."

An Xia smiled: "If you don't tell me, I will report you for selling fake pearls."

"...There are a lot of counterfeit goods here, so what if you report it? Can the police arrest everyone? Girl, I'm just doing a small business, so let me go!" He said Scratching his head, he found that the innocent-looking girl in front of him was not easy to mess with at all.

"Small business? It seems that you are going to say it. If this is the case, then I will call the police now."

Seeing his brave look, An Xia took out his phone.

The boss looked at them angrily: "Okay, okay! I'm afraid of you, but I still have to ask, why are you looking for him?"

If his colleagues rob food, even if he enters the police station, he will not let them succeed easily.

"We are just a little curious, who can have such a superb craftsmanship." Yu Chen said.

For example, An Xia's thorny flower, on the contrary, Yu Chen's calm attitude convinced the boss more.

After confirming that they were telling the truth, he nodded suspiciously.

"But let me say it first, even if I take you to see him, he may not necessarily meet you."

Even for himself, it was not easy to meet him.

"He doesn't usually go out, and I haven't seen his real face. We don't have much time to talk, and most of the time he is silent, like a weird person." The boss said while leading the way.

He lives near here.

It only took a few minutes to arrive.

"It's really unlucky, not only didn't sell anything, but also met you." He muttered.

An Xia walked behind, hearing his thoughts, raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything.

"Here, he's inside." The boss said reluctantly.

An Xia stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long while.

She looks to the boss.

Boss: "It's been said that he is a weirdo, even I don't know what he looks like."

An Xia felt that she could not count on him.

The boss gloated a bit and said, "He only opens the door to let me in when he is in a good mood. Even I haven't gone in a few times. You are just strangers. No matter how you think about it, he will not allow you to go in."

Yu Chen ignored his words, looked up and saw the camera on the door.

If so, he can hear their conversation now.

He thought for a while.

"Zhou Ling, have you heard of this name?"

An Xia tilted her head slightly.

The boss also felt baffled.

In the next second, the closed door suddenly opened.

A trace of shock flashed in An Xia's eyes, and a glint of light flashed in Yu Chen's deep eyes.

A person appeared at the door, no, it should not be called a person, it is more accurate to say that it looks like a mummy.

The exposed skin was almost covered with layers of black cloth, and only a pair of eyes, nostrils, and lips were exposed on that face.

He looked like someone who came out of hell.

The red eyes are bloodshot.

He stared at them blankly, without any extra emotion.

"come in."

When he spoke, his voice was a bit hoarse, and his real age could not be heard.

But judging from the black hair on his head, his age should not be too old.

Yu Chen and An Xia walked into the small house.

The boss wanted to follow in, but was ruthlessly isolated.

"..."

The small room was very cramped.

There are no such unnecessary things as ordinary tables, chairs, and sofas. Large and small shelves are filled with ceramics, pearls, and emeralds. Almost all the types seen in the market just now can be seen here.

The difference is that the craftsmanship of these porcelains has almost no flaws, which is dazzling.

An Xia was so shocked that she could hardly speak.

How much was done, and what exquisite craftsmanship.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a piece of blue and white porcelain, and her eyes narrowed.

"This is... a porcelain plate with light relief dragons made in Yongming, Daqing."

"And this one, the official kiln Eight Immortals picture wine bottle unearthed in Daming Mountain ten years ago..."

These were almost all artifacts she had seen in the library.

She picked it up and looked closer to her eyes.

She has been in close contact with those cultural relics, including where there are minor flaws, where they were transported from, and when they were unearthed, she is almost clear.

The pattern on the top is even more memorized.

When she picked it up, apart from the difference in weight, the appearance, pattern, and the most difficult carvings were all exactly the same, but these porcelains looked a little newer, without the old-fashioned sense that comes with cultural relics.

She sighed: "If I didn't know that those cultural relics would never be taken out in the museum, maybe I would really think these are real, they are really too similar."

And like this, you can see it everywhere in the living room, almost all of them can be named, very valuable cultural relics.

It's hard to imagine how long it took to make these things.

"Can I ask? How long did it take to make these knockoffs?"

"It won't take long, about three days." The man coughed slightly, and answered An Xia's question casually. He looked at Yu Chen with a pair of eyes, "How did you know Zhou Ling? How did you find it?" From here? No, how do you know me?"

An Xia was still a little apprehensive when she met those eyes, and after amazed, she obediently sat beside Yu Chen.

"Do you know Tibet?" Yu Chen avoided talking about it, skipped his question and asked instead.

The man's eyes narrowed, and he quickly regained his composure.

"do not know."

"Zhou Ling is very safe for the time being." Yu Chen said, with the emphasis on the word "temporary" in the tone.

"What exactly do you want to know?" He coughed, his body trembling slightly, his eyes became more red, and he coughed heart-piercingly without saying a few words.

"You just have to answer my questions."

"know."

The man glanced at him and made a movement similar to frowning, but he was wrapped in a black cloth and couldn't see the movement on his face.

"Does Tibet still exist?" Yu Chen asked.

An Xia was taken aback, isn't Tibet a legend?This was said by Yu Chen himself.

Although she had many doubts in her heart, she still listened quietly.

The man glanced at him, but he didn't expect Yu Chen to ask such a question.

He shook his head and said numbly: "It has already been destroyed."

Yu Chen nodded and concluded: "In other words, it used to exist."

The man stared and said nothing.

An Xia suppressed the shock in her heart, that is to say, the legend is not a legend, but a real existence.

Just when An Xia thought Yu Chen would ask again, he suddenly stood up.

His expression was not as leisurely as before, but there was a hint of urgency.

"I'll find you again."

The man's tone was hoarse: "Where's Zhou Ling?"

"He's safe."

After Yu Chen finished speaking, he took An Xia and left.

An Xia was still at a loss, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and asked with her eyes.

Yu Chen nodded.

Sure enough, where the two touched, his skin produced an unstable high temperature.

He's about to turn into a cat.
