Chapter 58 Pass three levels in a row!

Chapter 58. Pass three levels in a row!

In order to test Ren Ping in one fell swoop, Qi Heng really took out all the things at the bottom of the box this time.

Four of these five cheap coins were treasured by him for many years and he refused to show them easily. The other was borrowed from the Guquan Association. The original owner was Wang Youlong, the president of the Guquan Association, and it was also valuable.

This is just the second thing. The key to this question is not the ancient coins, but the question itself!

Because it is very remote, very few people know about this kind of test, as long as they don't say anything, the other party doesn't even know what the test is about, and of course they will lose without winning.

But now, when Ren Ping heard it, he seemed to have a clear look, as if he had heard it before. How is this possible?

"You know three new things and two differences?"

With a hundred disbelief in his heart, Qi Heng couldn't help asking again.

Ren Ping nodded and looked at the five bad coins in front of him:

"Three new and two different, also known as 'Three Kingdoms and Two Jin', originated from the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and it is said that it was created by a curator of an ancient coin museum in Sichuan Province in the last century,"

"This question can be regarded as very remote. Firstly, the ancient coins themselves are very rare five baht bad money. Second, instead of taking the test of dynasty year and craftsmanship, the test is the unpopular classification and identification. That is to say, the five bad coins There are two types of money, one is called the Three Kingdoms, and the other is called the Two Jins."

"Three Kingdoms and Two Jins? Isn't that still dividing the ages?"

Wu Yousheng couldn't help asking.

Including the other people present also looked blank, it seemed that they were really confused by this weird topic.

Ren Ping smiled slightly:
"Everyone may not know that most of the existing five baht coins came from before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and 90.00% of the bad coins were cast during the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties,"

"Just because this period is a rare era of great turmoil in the history of China. Wars broke out, the society collapsed, and the currency system was also greatly affected. There appeared many private speculators who minted their own coins for personal gain, and a large number of inferior coins circulated. That's where the money comes from,"

"As for the classification just mentioned, it is because bad money can be divided into two types. One is that people deliberately cut corners and reduce copper content during casting. look complete,'

"The other is man-made destruction, which is to use scissors, iron pliers and other tools to damage official coins of better quality, split them into two, and then simply return them to the furnace and recast them to obtain huge profits."

"The former appeared more frequently during the Three Kingdoms period, so it was called the 'Three Kingdoms'. And because it was casting new coins after all, it was also called the 'Three New' coins. The latter type was more prevalent during the Jin Dynasty, and even new coins were counted. If not, it is an outlier among the five-baht coins, that is, the 'two variations', Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Three New and Two Variations, which refers not to the era, but to the classification of bad money."

In just a short moment, after explaining the ins and outs of this question clearly, Ren Ping looked calm and calm.

The rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other. When they turned their heads to look, they saw Qi Heng with a dull expression, sweating profusely, and an unbelievable sense of shock on his face.

It's no wonder that in his opinion, even many famous Guquan masters may not know this question, let alone a young boy?

However, when Ren Ping opened his mouth and spoke with eloquence, it seemed that he was much clearer than the person who wrote the question. How could it not make people feel like a thunderbolt?
What he didn't know was that in Ren Ping's mind, all the knowledge of antique collection from history to the next 300 years was recorded.

Not to mention these little tricks that are not on the table, even if you directly ask him how many precious ancient coins exist in China today, where they come from, and who collects them, he can answer them one by one!

"You really know? Okay, okay... Then tell me, among these five cheap coins, which three are new? Which two are different?"

Holding on to his last sliver of hope, Qi Heng felt unwilling and still had to answer the questions according to his procedure.

Ren Ping didn't talk nonsense, he stretched out his right index finger, and pushed up three of the cheap coins that looked relatively complete, and pushed down the other two that were slightly damaged.

Two types of bad money, three new and two different, clear at a glance!
There was a soft bang, very sudden, but the simple wooden box in Qi Heng's hand fell out of his hand. In addition to the previous question, the remaining two wooden boxes containing answer sheets also rolled out.

When he looked at Qi Heng again, his face was ashen-colored, his old face was sallow and sallow, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Obviously, he knew it well, and didn't even think about verifying the answer.

The question that I carefully prepared was answered so easily?
Although Ren Ping already had a premonition when he told the origin of the three new and two different things, it was all too fast, so fast that it made him feel ashamed. He is a ridiculous person who is self-righteous and becomes the laughing stock of the whole audience.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have such opportunistic questions!
"The collection of five baht coins is quite unpopular, especially the bad money among them. Isn't Mr. Qi very strange? How could I know these things at a young age?"

Seeing the other party's distraught appearance, Ren Ping didn't feel pitiful, but just got angry.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, a gleam of light appeared in Qi Heng's already cloudy eyes, and his voice suddenly raised:

"You are not an ordinary person, absolutely not! There must be some expert behind you, it is your father or teacher, right?"

It's a pity that Ren Ping ignored it, and instead pointed to the table, thinking to himself:

"Among the five bad coins, there are 'edge milling coins', 'cut edge coins', and 'pair pattern coins', but there is no 'extending ring coins'. I guess you are looking for them too, right?"

"Do you know where it is?"

Qi Heng was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, in a hurry, he even forgot that the two sides were in hostile camps.

"You want to know?"

"Nonsense, hurry up!"

"Come to Youshenghang after today, I'll be there anytime."

Ren Ping snorted.

"you--"

Qi Heng was furious and his face turned red.

What Ren Ping said just now were several typical types of bad money, among which was the "Yanhuan money" that he had been looking for for many years but could not get. It is a pity that this kid played tricks and asked himself to come to ask for advice.

Is this not intentional humiliation?
"Stinky boy... don't get too complacent, right now you only answered two questions correctly, and there is one more!"

After calming down, Qi Heng slightly suppressed his anger, picked up the wooden box from the ground, and put it back in place.

These three questions had been prepared a long time ago, and according to the assumption, they would be answered one by one, but now Ren Ping's strength in ancient coin identification far exceeded their expectations.

In this way, although the third question is quite difficult, it may not be effective.

Under the entanglement, he fell into hesitation for a while.

"Mr. Qi, I'll take the last question!"

Seeing that Ren Ping passed two tests in a row, Qiu Ming couldn't sit still and volunteered.

Qi Heng waved his hand to signal that he couldn't do it. He had already stated that this matter was mainly about the Spring and Autumn Alliance. At this time, letting outsiders get in the way, regardless of success or failure, would be a slap in the face. He would never allow this to happen.

Originally, it wasn't too difficult to come up with this kind of question. At this moment, he thought of several spare ones, but after much deliberation, he was not satisfied, so he couldn't help but glanced at the people at the round table.

The nine members of the Spring and Autumn League are united in the same spirit, one is prosperous and the other is hurt, so naturally they are also thinking hard at this time.

Unfortunately……

"Grandpa Qi, I have a topic here, let me come up with it."

At this moment, suddenly, someone said.

The voice is crisp and tactful.

Following the prestige, I saw a young girl in her early 20s, with a delicate and pretty appearance.

This girl was exactly the young girl when she first entered the conference room, and she looked out of place among the many antiques of the Nine Families.

If Ren Ping remembers correctly, before the members of the nine families humiliated You Shengxing and himself in every possible way, there were only two people in front of the round table who were silent. One was the middle-aged man Rong Luxing at the main seat, and the other was the girl. .

And looking at the ranking, right next to Rong Lu Xing, it is actually Han Hai Xing, which ranks fourth among the Nine Great Masters.

Why, the representative of Han Hai Xing is so young?
"Xiao Su, do you have a good idea?"

"I don't know if it's a good idea, but since none of you can think of it, why don't you try my idea?"

The girl called Xiao Su smiled, looking at her brisk face, she seemed to be full of confidence.

Only when others were not paying attention, did he sneak a glance at Ren Ping, and blinked swiftly while laughing.

Ren Ping was taken aback, who is this girl?Do you know yourself?Why don't you have any impression?

"Okay, it's up to you, the face of the Nine Great Masters depends on you."

Qi Heng didn't notice the girl's small movements, and said after pondering for a moment.

In his opinion, Hanhaihang has a deep heritage in ancient springs, no less than Qitaihang. He also knows that this young girl is named Su Rui, who is the key cultivation target of Hanhaihang Su's family, and has won the true biography of Su's parents. It may be a pleasant surprise if she presents the question.

"My question is very simple, it's called 'One Step to the Sky', as long as you answer it correctly, not only will you pass, but I will even give you this ancient coin, so I took this name,"

At this time, Su Rui had already got up and left his seat, and while explaining casually, he walked slowly to Ren Ping.

After blinking mysteriously again, he deliberately raised his voice:

"However, my question is not only about ancient coins, but also about some ancient characters. You have to recognize the meaning of these six ancient characters I wrote first. How about it? Accept it?"

Ren Ping frowned. Although the topic was nondescript and a bit weird, he still nodded and didn't say much.

"Okay, take a look, it's these six words."

Su Rui smiled slightly, and put the note that had already been written in his hand on the table.

When Ren Ping saw it, he couldn't help being stunned, his face was full of surprise and amazement, he looked at the six words on the note for a while, and Su Rui for a while.

After a while, he read out doubtfully:
"Returning to the country together with a sword?"

"Yes, the answer is correct! Then do you know the origin of this ancient coin?"

As he spoke, Su Rui took out an ancient coin that was as long as a ruler and shaped like a blade from behind. It was covered with green rust and waved it in front of his eyes.

This time, Ren Ping was even more shocked, his eyelids twitched, and he was as shocked as the rest of the audience, and he paused every word:
"Qi Liuzi Knife!"
