Rebirth, possession in the opening game

Xu Litao took the scimitar, banged it on the blade, and then tried to twist the 18 iron caps on the handle.

But none of them have any effect.

The 18 iron caps were engraved with patterns similar to screws, but Xu Litao didn't know their function for a while.

"Is it just a decoration?"

As soon as this idea arose, it was instantly rejected by Xu Litao.

The identification information clearly stated that there was a precision mechanism designed on the handle of the knife, so there must be a mechanism, but he had not yet found a way to open it.

Moreover, Xu Litao had a strong hunch that the key to opening the mechanism lay in these 18 iron ornaments.

"Forget it, take it home and think about it later. Anyway, I have the scimitar in my hand."

Xu Litao said, with a thought in his mind, "Hey, maybe we can show it to Boss Mu and see if he can figure out the clues."

Xu Litao thought that he was going to Mu Shibo's shop and planned to buy the "Safe Note" written by Yuan Datou and Mi Fu. Maybe he could show Mu Shibo the scimitar later.

So, Xu Litao walked quickly towards [Guyun Yayuan].

……

At the same time, in the antique shop of [Guyun Yayuan].

Mu Shibo was showing off to his friend Chen Xingping:

"Old Chen, how are you? Brother, these Qianlong Tongbao I collected are in good condition."

"Hahaha, no wonder I heard the magpie chirping at the door today. It turns out I am lucky today!"

Ignoring Mu Shibo's scolding, the old man opposite him who was about the same age and wearing a straight Chinese tunic suit, with white hair and a boyish face, reluctantly put down the Qianlong Tongbao "World Peace" mother's money in his hand.

"Old man Mu, you are so lucky."

Chen Xingping looked at the proud Mu Shibo with a sour tone.

"I have been looking for this mother's money for a long time, but I didn't expect you to receive it today."

At this point, Chen Xingping said flatteringly:

"Lao Mu, how about we discuss it?"

"The mother's money of this Qianlong Tong Bao was transferred to me, and I paid 1300 million!"

"You're thinking about farting!"

Upon hearing that Chen Xingping was interested in his precious coins, Mu Shibo stopped showing off and immediately snatched the coins back with his beard and eyes wide open.

He glared at Chen Xingping like a henchman.

"It's impossible for me to take action. Just give up on me!"

"Don't tell me!"

Chen Xingping looked at Mu Shibo who was guarding him like a thief and curled his lips.

"Everything is easy to discuss."

"Aren't you always coveting the "Wind Bamboo Painting" by Tang Bohu that I collected? As long as you are willing to sell me this mother's money, I will lend it to you for a month."

Hearing this, Mu Shibo's heart skipped a beat, but he still shook his head.

"Three months!"

Chen Xingping gritted his teeth and made a concession.

But Mu Shibo remained indifferent.

Chen Xingping became anxious, his eyes rolled around, and then he said tentatively:

"I don't want it anymore. You can let me watch it at the main office for two months, and I can also let you watch "Wind Bamboo Pictures" for two months."

"Is it fair?"

Chen Xingping thought that Mu Shibo would agree.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shibo glanced at him with disdain.

"cut!"

"No door, no window."

"Do you think your nickname 'Chen thick-faced' in the capital's antique circles is just for show? I'm not as shameless as you, and you won't return the favor even if you look at it."

Hearing Mu Shibo's words, Chen Xingping couldn't help but blush. He had indeed had this idea just now, but Mu Shibo ruthlessly pointed it out, making him smile.

"Haha, rumors! Rumors!"

"Lao Mu and the others are slandering me! Am I that kind of person?"

"You are."

Mu Shibo said calmly.

After being friends for so many years, he still doesn't understand Chen Xingping's character. If he really believes in him, his Qianlong Tongbao mother's money will be wasted by then.

Although he won't let anyone suffer, and the price is very high, he didn't want to sell it in the first place!

Over time, the glorious title of "Chen Houlian" spread among the antique circles in the capital.

"Old wood!"

Chen Xingping puffed his beard and stared at Mu Shibo, who was not to be outdone.

For a moment, the scene in the store made people dumbfounded.

The two old men, who were over a hundred years old in total, were as angry as children.

"Uh... well, did I come at the wrong time?"

Suddenly, an inappropriate sound came from the door.

The two of them each snorted, turned around and sat down.

Mu Shibo looked at Xu Litao at the door, his face lit up, and he quickly greeted:

"Oh, Brother Xu, did you find something good again?"

"Come in, come in, come in!"

Xu Litao nodded with a smile and walked into the store, "Haha, Boss Mu, good luck. I found something good. You always help me keep an eye on it."

"If it's convenient, I'll sell it to you."

Xu Litao walked to the table and placed a bag of silver coins, the "Peace Note" and the scimitar on the table.

"Boss Mu, is this old gentleman your friend?"

Xu Litao looked at Chen Xingping aside and asked with a smile.

Mu Shibo glanced at Chen Xingping, but still nodded and said:

"Brother Xu, let me introduce to you. This is my old friend, Chen Xingping. He is a big player in the antiques circle in Beijing."

After Mu Shibo finished speaking, he said to Chen Xingping angrily:

"What airs are you putting on? This is Brother Xu, who has a very good eye. He got those eight Qianlong Tongbao from a street stall."

After hearing Mu Shibo's words, Chen Xingping immediately stood up and shook hands with Xu Litao enthusiastically.

"Haha! Brother Xu, since Lao Mu calls you that, I will do the same."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, you can do whatever you want."

Xu Litao said politely.

Chen Xingping looked at him expectantly and asked:

"Brother Xu, do you still have Qianlong Tongbao coins in your hand? It's best to have mother's money."

Xu Litao shook his head, "No more, I sold them all to Mu Lao."

"That's a pity. This guy Lao Mu doesn't want to bear the pain and give up."

Chen Xingping shook his head and said regretfully, with Mu Shibo's stubborn temper, it would be difficult for him to get the mother's money.

After waiting for Chen Xingping to look at him, Mu Shibo smiled at Xu Litao and said:

"Brother Xu, ignore him, let's take a look at your things."

"Okay, let's take a look at the silver dollar first. There is a Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China. Your old gang is the first to take the lead."

Upon hearing Xu Litao's words, before Mu Shibo could answer, Chen Xingping next to him excitedly came forward.

"Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China! What a good thing!"

"Brother Xu, do you mind if I take a look too?"

Xu Litao would not refuse, "Mr. Chen is willing to hold the palm of your hand. I really want it. Please do it."

Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo had piles of silver coins everywhere, and they were flipping through them casually. Chen Xingping, with his sharp eyes, was the first to find the silver coin.

"Haha! Lao Mu, you are too slow."

Chen Xingping looked at Mu Shibo sullenly and showed off Yuan Datou.

Mu Shibo's old face darkened, "This old guy, just wait here for me!"

Ignoring Chen Xingping, Mu Shibo went in to look at the silver dollar.

"Excellent!"

Chen Xingping also nodded happily and said:

"This is the best I have ever seen among Yuan Datou!"

"The characters, patterns, and patterns have bright and natural colors, moderate depth of decoration, uniform edge lines, and consistent spacing."

"Small details such as portraits, hair, beards, and awns are clear and precise. It is truly a rare masterpiece among Yuan Datou."

As Chen Xingping spoke, he came to his senses and said to Xu Litao first:

"Brother Xu, I'll give you 500 million, sell it to me!"

Before Xu Litao could speak, Mu Shibo shouted at the side.

"Old Chen!"

"How dare you cut off your beard in my shop?"

"Don't be angry, Lao Mu, you and Brother Xu haven't started talking yet, anyone can bid now."

Chen Xingping looked at Mu Shibo with a smile.

Although he was angry, Chen Xingping said nothing, and Mu Shibo could only stare at him.

"510 million! Old Chen, I remember you have so many silver coins in your collection. Give me this one."

"But the condition of mine is not as good as this one."

Chen Xingping shook his head, and then changed his tone.

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

Mu Shibo asked, it would be fine if Chen Xingping didn't fight with him. To be honest, in terms of financial resources, he really couldn't compare with him.

Chen Xingping looked at Mu Shibo with a smile on his face, and then said with clear eyes:

"Unless you lend me that Qianlong Tongbao mother's money for two months."

Mu Shibo thought for a while and nodded in agreement. "All right."

He was not afraid of Chen Xingping cheating, otherwise he would go to his house every day, eat his food and drink his food, and would not leave unless he paid back.

Let's see who can survive who.

Upon hearing Mu Shibo's agreement, Chen Xingping immediately stretched out his hand with a smile and said:

"Okay, this Yuan Datou is yours."

Mu Shibo looked at Xu Litao and said:

"510 million, what do you think, Mr. Xu?"

"Okay, I have no problem. Mr. Mu might as well help me deal with the remaining silver coins."

To be honest, Mu Shibo didn't like the remaining silver coins, but Xu Litao had already spoken, so he couldn't refuse.

So I thought about it and said:

"Brother Xu, these silver coins are not worth much. I can only offer you 100 yuan for one."

Xu Litao naturally had no objection. These silver coins were just incidental.

"no problem."

After talking about the silver coins, Xu Litao spread out some dirty rags.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Chen, look at this copybook again."

Looking at the dirty rags, Mu Shibo and Chen Xingping didn't care at first, but when they looked at Xu Litao, they took it seriously.

They didn't dare to neglect it, what if it happened?

The two of them went in and took a look.

The more they looked at each other, the more solemn their expressions became.

"Wen Zhengming's seal? And Qianlong's seal!"

"Huh? This copybook is in cursive script!"

"Like! So similar! The movements are agile, the stippling is indulgent, and the brushstrokes are smooth and elegant."

"Oh my god! Old Man Mu! This is Wang Xizhi's "Peace Note"!!!"

Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo looked at each other in shock and exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't get excited yet, let's check it carefully."

"Yes, yes! It's safer to look at it again!"

As the two of them spoke, they continued to examine it carefully, reading word by word.

Very patient and careful.

Xu Litao did not disturb them. He sat aside and drank tea, patiently waiting for the results of the two of them.

After about 10 minutes, Chen Xingping and Mu Shibo stopped excitedly, looked at each other, and already made a decision in their hearts.

Authentic!

This is the authentic "Peace Note" written by Wang Xizhi!

"Brother Xu! Where did you get the copybook?"

"Based on my and Lao Mu's judgment, this is the authentic copy of Wang Xizhi's "Peace Note"!"

Chen Xingping was very convinced that he and Mu Shibo had been in the antique circle for most of their lives.

The eyesight is still there.

There is rarely anything wrong with what they handle.

The two of them talked excitedly, originally wanting to see Xu Litao's surprise.

But unexpectedly, Xu Litao's reaction was very calm.

He also shook his head at the two of them, expressing disapproval of their identification results.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Mu, don't get excited."

"Why don't you take another look? I feel this is not Wang Xizhi's authentic work."

"Instead, it's Mi Fu's copy of "Peace Notes"!"

"No way? Mi Fu?"
