Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

After the New Year, everyone returned to their daily life and work.

It is said that the 24th Chuan Tian Festival will be held in many locations, including Tangcheng Scenic Area, Guanjia Alley, Gulongzhong Scenic Area, Yuliangzhou, Guansheng Ancient Town Scenic Area, etc.

With so many places, it's definitely impossible for him to go to every one of them.

Wu Yuansheng discussed with Yi Xiaoyue and chose "Guanjia Alley", which they thought was more prosperous and not too far away.

On the morning of the Chuantian Festival, the two of them went there and played for half a day.

Guanjia Lane is a newly built tourist attraction in Beijie and also an antique building.

Like previous events, there were vendors and programs.

There are many people and it is very lively.

The cultural wall, the characteristic commercial street, the various folk performances on the stage, etc., ensure that everyone who comes here to play will gain a lot and make the trip worthwhile.

While strolling along North Street, he saw that many of the antique shops that used to be connected here had changed their business and become stores selling "special snacks".

The antique market has been bad in the past two years, and it is normal to change careers if you can't continue your business.

The good times of the past, “If you don’t open for business for three years, you can make enough money for three years after you open it!” are gone forever.

One day in March, Master Jiang took him to the "Zhenwu Mountain" Taoist temple, where he met several friends.

Last year I talked about learning to draw talismans. Whenever Wu Yuansheng has free time, he will draw for a while.

After persisting for a period of time, his technique and proficiency in drawing talismans have greatly improved.

The talismans he drew came from a book called "The Secret Method of Changing Destiny with Spiritual Talismans".

He also bought this book after seeing it on a stall in an antique market.

Currently, he can draw three types of symbols:

One is to carry a talisman with you.

The other is the evil-removing talisman, which can eliminate the evil spirits in the house.

There is also a fortune-changing charm, which can change the current bad fortune.

Of course, in addition to the talismans, there are also related "spells" before painting.

For example, the talisman:

"Gods and spirits enter the earth without any reservations. The divine talisman is buried an inch deep in the earth, and the mountain gods and evil spirits dare not invade. I obey the command of the immortal master XX."

He left his phone number to friends at the Taoist temple and added them on WeChat. If he occasionally had questions or didn't understand something, he would ask them for advice and they would discuss with each other.

Friends made in real life know each other well, unlike those made online, so there is no chance of him being deceived.

24 years later, there are even fewer houses being built in the entire city, and there are not many other projects.

This way of passing time besides treasure hunting makes his life more fulfilling.

Sometimes when chatting with the Taoist priest, they would also talk about some health topics, which also benefited him a lot.

This year's Qingming Festival is a little special. It is a leap year, and there is no "Lichun" in the twenty-four solar terms. It is said that it is not easy to visit the graves.

Even if you want to visit the graves, don't do it on the Qingming Festival.

According to taboo, Wu Yuansheng took his family back to his hometown two days in advance.

This was also discussed by his relatives.

Like in previous years, we gathered together for two meals.

Such reunions among family members have been going on for several years, and everyone has become accustomed to such gatherings.

The situation is a little different from previous years. Among his relatives, there is one who is his cousin within five generations. In recent years, he has made money by opening two large repair shops and buying and selling used cars.

He suggested that when relatives from the family come over for dinner during the Qingming Festival, he and Wu Yuansheng would cover the living expenses.

Because they are the two who are doing the best right now.

Everyone agreed with his proposal, including Wu Yuansheng.

Two meals, one for each of them, it won’t cost much.

Besides, you are inviting your own family members to dinner, not outsiders, so the money will not be wasted. You never know when you will need your help in the future.

On May Day, another exchange meeting was organized at Fengqing Street Antique City.

There weren't many people participating in the event this time when we came to set up stalls.

The current market conditions are getting worse and worse, and in an environment where the transaction rate is low, many outsiders are too lazy to run around.

After all, going out requires expenses. Apart from other things, expenses such as accommodation, meals, and travel expenses are definitely inevitable.

Wu Yuansheng still went over and looked around for a while.

(He thinks the bad market situation is also largely related to online shopping, because there are many people who like to collect things. If they want to buy something, they just go online to buy it. There are many choices, good quality and low prices.)

After 24 years, he rarely buys anything when he visits antique markets on weekends.

It’s not a matter of money, it’s that if you buy too many things, you need a place to put them and they take up space.

I have been buying things non-stop in the past few years, both valuable and worthless, and the villa I bought is almost full.

Although they were all items that he personally liked and thought were valuable, he suddenly realized that many things were repetitive.

During these years of treasure hunting, whether in demolition areas, landfills, antique cities, street stall exchanges, antique house fairs or auctions, he has seen too many objects.

I now look upon all kinds of collectibles as being rather dull.

He basically has all the types of collections that should be there.

If you want to see something more valuable, in his current opinion, just go to a museum.

He has become indifferent to the antique collecting industry.

Now in his 40s, he feels that living well, being healthy, happy and safe is the most important thing!

People need to understand life and learn how to live.

Looking at the whole society, people who like collecting are only a minority after all, perhaps only one in ten people.

In the past, he spent a lot of time and energy in the antique treasure hunting industry. In the future, he will understand life better and pursue other beautiful things besides appropriate treasure hunting.

Besides, he no longer needs to struggle for money. Understanding life, living well, and improving the quality of life are the most worthwhile things to do.

Time always moves forward in its own way.

After that, Wu Yuansheng would occasionally go to the antique market on weekends.

It’s not that I want to find a bargain or anything, I just want to kill time, watch the fun, and experience some things.

When he has nothing to do, he would draw talismans, get a gym membership, and sometimes go to the gym.

In the evening, he would still do live broadcasts, help others identify treasures, and chat.

During holidays, I will take my family out for fun.

His life was very ordinary, but he felt that this ordinary life was the real and best.

Those bumpy lives, with ups and downs, are wonderful but not perfect, because there are too many regrets, and it is always sad to recall them.

Okay, that’s all.

See you in the next “jianghu”!

【End of book】

[After writing for about a year, this book is finally finished.

Here the author would like to first thank the friends who have invested in this book and the book lovers who have given various supports.

Although the current performance of this book is not good, I believe that as more and more people read it, there will always be people who like it in the future, which will occupy the list and give greater support to this book!

Although the book is finished, if you are interested, you can join the group chat.

Whether it is a demolition area, antique market, second-hand goods market or other treasure hunting aspects and things in life.

In the future, the author will share some special collections or interesting stories about antiques with everyone in the group!

Let me emphasize this again:

I have only written two books with the background of demolition areas and real-life treasure hunts. One is this one, and the other is "Financial Freedom, Starting from 04".

If I write a book in the future, it will be very unreal and have little practical significance.

Any book friend who invests in any novel I write, no matter which one it is, will definitely not let your investment fail.

In the next period of time, I will focus on writing the book "Financial Freedom, Starting from 04". If you have time, you can take a look at it.

Once again, I would like to thank all the friends who supported me! 】
