Big Dream Chase

I want from all times, from all nights

From all golden banners, from all swords

take you back

I'll throw away the keys and drive the dog off the stone steps

Because in the night on the earth

I am more loyal than a dog*

-

Low pressure, dull low pressure, still going on.

This is the scene of Sotheby's Hibiscus City Autumn Art Auction. Since it started three days ago, this large-scale auction, which is divided into categories and is said to have attracted many Tibetan friends at home and abroad, is drawing to a close.

What is surprising is that if the million-dollar turnover rate is still lower than [-]% today, it will hit a new low for unsold auctions this year.

From the first auction in the spring to the present, the ever-decreasing turnover rate seems to have another unknown allusion.

The market for antiques was sluggish, and Tibetan friends both inside and outside the venue were disappointed.The dullness in the air caused all the moisture to evaporate.

Inside the venue, bustling bidders hold number plates.They sat on their seats looking at their eyes, their noses and their mouths, looking serious and bored.The bidders flipped through the album at random, as if they had lost interest in the rest of the collection.

To pass the time, they cast their eyes on table No. 8. The two men on the left and the right are too eye-catching.

Zoom in again.

Before the Tibetan friends had time to comment on the "meeting of the century" between the two, the man in a high-end suit on the left suddenly turned sideways, and he said loudly to the man on the right: "Boss Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The man called Boss Su raised his head from the album. He was wearing a rain brocade Tang suit with delicate hibiscus and white phoenix embroidered on the sleeves, a collar with a slanted lapel, and gold and silver trim.He was dressed in snow and green, with the rain-like streaks on the brocade, like a slanting and bright rain falling in a lush mountain forest.

Boss Su smiled ambiguously: "Young Master Lian, what a coincidence."

That's just unfortunate.

As we all know, Lian Ming and Su Muyu have already found out about each other's "notorious" anecdotes from the rumors.

Smart people deal with each other, and they naturally understand how to avoid each other skillfully in this business where the water is deep and hard to find the bottom of the river.

In this auction, Su Muyu and Su Muyu squeezed together at the same table, Lian Ming did not expect it.Once the probability of Mars colliding with the Earth occurs, major events off-line will surely follow.

No, here comes the point.

The two exchanged a few words and five words, and Lian Ming went around the bend to get out the collection that Su Muyu was bound to take.

If you want to talk about it, three points are true and seven points are false.Boss Su thought that Lian Ming didn't like what he was looking for, so he intentionally revealed the purpose of the trip "with all his heart and soul".

Lian Ming asked the reason seriously, only to see Su Muyu holding an ivory fan and clicking on the album.The pure white fan leaves and the cold light of the sword formed a strong visual difference. Su Muyu deliberately lowered his voice, making it mysterious.

He said: "The first of the nine famous swords in history, the Tangxi sword, should not be unfamiliar to Lian Shao. The gold of Tangxi is the benefit of the world."

Lian Ming shook his head, and said modestly: "I'm not good at ancient weapons. Although the Tangxi sword in Xiping County has recovered its historical fault, I understand the difference between one thousand and one million. It's just the mystery of this sword. Why?"

Su Muyu teased for a few seconds with the ends of his eyes raised, those peach blossom eyes looked up along the corners of Lian Ming's suit trousers.The trouser line is straight and the folds are just right.A crisp coat, a solid color shirt.There was a folded square scarf in his coat pocket, and a dark red lightened his attire tonight.

Su Muyu thought, people look like people, but they have a lot of eyes.

He cleared his throat and took a sip from the teacup in front of him.Lianming didn't urge him, and he cooperatively stirred the cup of coffee in front of him.The gossiping Tibetan friends saw something was wrong, the two clearly drew a line in the middle!

No matter in terms of clothing or taste, Chinese and Western styles collided on table 8.The collision was ingenious and brutal. At first glance, it seemed a bit nondescript, but at another glance, it was inexplicably harmonious.

What does this mean - Hey, we are not the same!The two ends of the road are facing the sky, please refrain!

What a concise and clear hint, but Lian Ming just wanted to pretend to be blind selectively.

Su Muyu was speechless for a while, and then shifted his eyes to Lian Ming's coat pocket, inside which was a dark red handkerchief folded squarely, how it looked... Strange.

Seeing this, Lian Ming unconsciously took out the scarf and wiped his fingers slowly.

He intentionally reminded: "Boss Su, may I ask what is the mystery of this sword?"

Su Muyu seemed to wake up suddenly, squinted his eyes, and slapped his palm twice with a fan.

Where is Lian Ming strange?

While thinking about this strangeness, he distractedly said: "The mystery is that it is a bronze sword. The sword is thin and long, fifty centimeters, and the hilt is solid in the shape of a round stem. There are two hoops, and there are Kui Longyang on the hoop. pattern, inlaid with turquoise. The color of the edge is reddish yellow, indicating that the bronze contains about [-]% tin, has good toughness, and high strength and hardness."

Lian Ming also sensed that something was wrong, and he drew a line on the album with a pen: "But this is clearly..."

"Yes," Su Muyu said, "but this thing that has been open to generations, its year is Tang! Isn't it a mysterious thing to cast bronze swords in Tang Dynasty?"

Lian Ming fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

According to ancient books, more than 2700 years ago, the Western Zhou Dynasty entered the Bronze Age.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, iron smelting and sword casting cultures coexisted.Then, due to Tangxi's superior geographical location and unique sword casting resources, a large number of craftsmen gathered in the Spring and Autumn Period, as many as [-].

With the advancement of technology, steel swords appeared in the Warring States period, and the military industry rose to another level, gradually replacing copper swords.

Over time, various reasons caused the sword to gradually withdraw from the battlefield. In the Tang Dynasty, swords were mostly decorations used by literati knights, kings and generals to show their identity and power.

Therefore, casting swords in the Tang Dynasty was no longer a preparation for war, let alone casting bronze swords with such advanced technology as steel swords.

Which craftsman can do such a thing?

What's terrible is that the craftsman who cast this sword must have been a master, no matter from the straight spine, the flat face of the sword, or the Kuilong pattern on the sword grid and the sword hoop.

Su Muyu smiled casually and said, "Master Lian should know that I am always very curious about these mysterious things."

"Ten points for the year, and two points?"

Lian Ming put the dark red scarf on the table, and naturally pinned the pen in his coat pocket.

This action caught Su Muyu's attention, and he frowned, thinking of Lian Ming's strangeness in his heart - another evaluation of Lian Ming in the industry - this person has a Parker pen in his pocket all the year round, not like an antique dealer, but like a university professor.

Why did you change your handkerchief today?

Su Muyu didn't study it carefully, he was mysterious and alarmist: "There are still two points for the soul in the sword! It's very evil."

Lian Ming raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Boss Su's hobbies are as rumored in the market, so unique."

Su Muyu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm free."

When he smiled, those peach blossom eyes were completely bent into two round moons.The eyes are blurred, very ecstatic.

Capitalized sexy.

Lian Ming looked rather distracted, and had to admit that the title of "Su Meiren" was worthy of the name.

Lian Ming also knows—Boss Su of Gongyi Pavilion is as beautiful as he is beautiful, but what he did was not righteous at all.

But there is no business and no evil, and it can't stand the good vision and high ability of others.

A typical hooligan is educated and afraid of everyone he sees.

Su Muyu is somewhat mysterious.The door of Gongyi Pavilion is rarely opened, and no one knows how rich his family is.Only he knows that he is a serious pauper.

Compared with Lian Ming, Su Muyu is a beggar who picks up trash.

Why?Ask Gongyi Pavilion to go.

Because of this, Su Muyu is particularly "mean" in doing business.Every time the world is determined in the sleeves, the opponent can be as good as a pig's liver, and in the end they are willing to give in.

After all - these things that are willingly transferred to Su Muyu are all ominous things.

There is a saying in the circle: Boss Su's favorite product is really real, but evil!It's too evil, so no one dares to compete with him.

But Su Muyu didn't expect it, never expected it!

After talking back and forth for less than half an hour, Lian Ming raised his number plate just after such a wicked "broken sword" was put on the booth!

He also scrambled loudly!

"5000 million! Grandpa wants it!"

Su Muyu was so shocked that his mind went blank and he couldn't think!

There was silence for a minute.

The telephone entrusted bidders were flustered with the microphones in their hands, and the online bidders also stopped typing on the keyboard.

what's the situation? !

For "Broken Sword" with a starting price of 150 million, Lian Ming jumped directly to "5000 million" without panting at all? !

Looking at that posture, it is inevitable.

The auctioneer thought he was hallucinating, and asked anxiously, "Mr. 2209, how much?"

Lian Ming said, "5000 million."

Su Muyu can't wait to jump up immediately and lift the cover of this person's sky. Leaving aside the concept of 5000 million, it is not uncommon to see market prices of hundreds of millions in auctions in antique shops.

The problem is, this sword is not worth the price to ordinary people!

Su Muyu's face suddenly darkened, he quickly unfolded the ivory inlaid gold fan, and a magnificent halo jumped on the frivolous eyebrows of this man.

He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Lian can be described as a master."

Lian Ming said, "Boss Su has a better vision."

Since then, Su Muyu's beautiful face like a banished fairy has been completely blackened into the bottom of the pot in [-].

He gritted his teeth: "Master Lian, this sword is very evil!"

"I know, you said it." Even Ming Tiao straightened his tie without raising his eyelids.The sound is like a bass brushed on the strings, calm and magnetic.

"Then what's the point of Lian Shao raising his card?"

"Without him, there is more money."

What a stupid but domineering sentence!

Su Muyu has to admire, the prodigal has lost to a certain level, IQ?nonexistent.

"A lot of money is not such a game. Lian Shao, which one of the Qianlong enamel colored porcelain bowls and Tang Sancai in the back is not worth collecting? Why bother to jump on this evil thing?"

Lian Ming was upright: "I can't just watch Boss Su jump into the fire pit by himself."

Su Muyu almost got up and bowed to me, thank you.

"Master Lian, dare to ask again, what do you want this sword for?"

Lian Ming seemed to be really thinking, and after a while, he said, "What can you do, Zhen Zhai."

……

Tibetan friends looked sideways, live broadcasting in real time, and a news swept through the circle of friends in an instant.

— have you heard that?

Young Master Lian of Furong City and Boss Su of Gongyi Pavilion are fighting today!

—Why are you on the bar? !

——For an unheard of, little-known "broken sword"!

—Everyone in the world knows what Boss Su likes!He even dare to snatch it? !

Isn't it? !

One does not believe in evil, and the other does not believe in evil!

Tianlei collided with each other like a fire, one of them was calm and composed, and the other pretended to be magnanimous.

Who would have known that Su Muyu wanted to yell at this time, which was insulting to gentlemen.

Lian Ming suddenly smiled in Su Muyu's "hypocrite" convincing eyes, and this smile was incredible.There are a pair of willow-leaf eyes embedded in his elite face, both narrow and seductive of Danfeng, with slender and upturned eye tails.

If Lian Ming hadn't just snatched his "broken sword", Su Muyu, a gentle scum, would have desecrated this person in his heart.

not in the mood.

Su Muyu tapped the ivory fan on his palm in annoyance, and the auctioneer made a final decision that he couldn't afford so much money to compete with Lian Ming.Even if Lao Di was overthrown and taken down, the "ancestor" of Gongyi Pavilion would have to yell him to death.

Therefore, whether you can take down the sword or not, you are not a human being inside or outside.

Before the concierge staff delivered the transaction confirmation letter to Lian Ming, Su Muyu couldn't sit still, and got up to leave the venue first.

There was a lot of discussion in the auction house. Some people said that today's trip was worthwhile. If it hadn't been for the "Broken Sword" battle, even the young master and Boss Su would still be living in enclosures, and the world would be fine.

Now that these two well-known figures are fighting, how can there be fewer good shows in the future?

Ke Lianming didn't care about the scandal, and continued to selectively pretend to be blind to Su Muyu's confused face.

Before Su Muyu left the field, he raised his voice and said, "Boss Su, make a friend?"

Su Muyu rubbed the fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you can see the same thing, you must be a confidant."

The Sumerians did not answer positively and were noncommittal.It seems that Lian Ming doesn't care, as if "making friends" is just a casual talk.He nodded, and finally took a sip of the cold coffee.

Lian Ming said, "Boss Su, see you later."

Su Muyu looked straight into Lian Ming's eyes, and there seemed to be another deep meaning in those as black as obsidian pupils.Su Muyu's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little puzzled.

If I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, it must be a disaster.

Su Muyu adhered to the polite attitude of "you laugh and I laugh too", and then continued: "See you by fate."

Of course there is a fate, the thing I fancy was robbed, could it not be a bad fate?

Of course I will see you again. After all, the sword is something from "over there". Su Muyu can't get it from serious channels. He has to do something else.

Either negotiate with Lian Ming privately and exchange things, or you can only-

Su Muyu walked out of the hotel, yet to figure out a safe way.

A rough and hoarse bird song pierced the silence in the dark night. Su Muyu suddenly stopped. He looked up and saw a black crow flapping its wings in front of the huge full moon, standing on the wire not far away, not daring to near.

Su Muyu stood where he was, lifting his chin coldly.

It was "those people" who came.

He raised his hand and beckoned to the crow. It's unreasonable for him to mess up this matter today.

He said, "Come here."

The crow flew over, not daring to land on Boss Su's shoulder, but kept flapping its wings.

Su Muyu took the bundled letters from its lap, the old rules of red letters on a black background panicked, but the "Su Qinqi" written in a thin gold font was still acceptable.

He didn't open the envelope, waved back the raven, and stared at the shadow without smiling.

Su Muyu was silent for a while, and slowly turned his head under the skyscrapers. The resplendent hotel stands in the grotesque city.This world is the most magical world, but also the most real world.

The giant wheel of the times keeps rolling forward to meet one future after another.

There is a group of people who are watching the past closely in the dark, and when necessary, they lean down towards the abyss.

Su Muyu unfolded the ivory fan, and the late night in September was still hot.He turned around and walked down the long steps in front of the hotel, the phoenix outlined by the golden thread on his clothes seemed to take off.

Su Muyu thought about all kinds of things today, and finally had to make a conclusion.

"Lian Ming, I have to teach you how to be a human being."
