Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 60 The Great Secret

  Li Mozhen asked the right person, and he got the answer as soon as he took out the bracelet, which gave him a direction to explore the origin of the bracelet.

   "Not to mention, this bracelet is really exquisite."

   "Golden snakes are very impressive. In ancient times, people who used gold and silver to make bracelets are definitely not ordinary people. It's just that this bracelet is a bit heavy, and it seems that the bracelet is solid."

  Yu Huilian also took the hand and observed it carefully for a while, then said: "Old Shi, tell me about the golden snake entanglement?"

  Curator Shi cleared his throat with a sip of hot tea and said, "A few years ago when we participated in an ancient book restoration seminar, we came across a miscellaneous journal of anecdotes and strange events. There were such records in it."

"In the feudal era, the imperial power was supreme. The emperor wore a dragon robe, which represented that he was the emperor of the real dragon, and it also meant that the dragon protected him. Naturally, the clothes worn by the folks should not be violated, otherwise they would be suspected of treason, which is the crime of extermination. .”

   "So those merchants with money but no status tried to make their children grow up to be dragons and phoenixes. They used golden snakes as a metaphor for real dragons, and made bracelets wrapped around golden snakes. Wearing them on the wrists has the meaning of wealth and power in the palm of the hand."

   "Later, other versions were circulated among the people, that is, wearing a golden snake bracelet has the meaning of transshipment."

  Li Mo thinks these ancient miscellaneous notes are quite interesting, and what is recorded in the ancient books is not entirely groundless.

  Professor Yu put the bracelet back into the wooden box and said, "Li Mo, this bracelet is interesting, how much did you pay for it?"

   "Professor Yu may as well guess?" Li Mo knew that they only saw the appearance of the bracelet.

   "Well, although this bracelet is an old item, after all, it is only a few fragments of records in ancient miscellaneous notes, and it is not familiar to the world. However, it is possible to sell for one or two thousand in terms of the value of its materials and craftsmanship."

   "Professor Yu's valuation is similar to what I thought. If it is an antique, there are not many people who know its history, so it is almost impossible to sell it at a high price."

  Curator Shi smiled and continued: "However, the lower surface of this bracelet is coated with paste, and the appearance should be very good."

   "Li Mo, how much did you pay for it?"

  Li Mo gestured a 'five' with his right hand.

   "Five hundred? Five hundred is worth the price, not bad."

   "Li Mo, I can give it to your girlfriend later. This kind of gold snake-ridden bracelet is extremely rare."

   "Do you have a girlfriend? If not, let me introduce one to you. There is a niece in the family who is also going to college this year. She has a good character and appearance."

  Professor Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Fu, I guess it's too late for you to start."

   Everyone in the private room laughed for a while.

  At this time, Gu Zhijun opened the door and walked in, followed by two waiters, each carrying a bottle of red wine.

  Li Mo quickly stood up and said: "Let me introduce to you seniors, this is the old restaurant of Tangtianxia Restaurant, and he will prepare a table of dishes for us by himself tonight."

   "Thank you old board."

   "Thank you old board."

   "Second Brother Gu, let me introduce these distinguished guests to you." Li Mo introduced everyone in turn.

   "Everyone is my bread and butter. I am a cook. You are satisfied with the dishes today. These two bottles of red wine are my heart. Please taste them."

   "You are too polite, old man."

   “A little kindness is no respect.”

   "Second Brother Gu, let's get ready for the banquet. By the way, please get me some paper."

   "Okay, everyone wait a moment."

   One piece of paper will be delivered quickly.

   "Li Mo, what do you want this for?"

  Li Mo didn't answer immediately, but took out the bracelet again. He rubbed the uneven texture with his fingertips, then took out a magnifying glass from his backpack, and pointed it at a place with slightly complicated lines.

  Looking at the magnifying glass, the texture on the surface of the bracelet is clearer.

  He used a pen to imitate a line of drawing on the paper.

   Seeing that Li Mo was a little abnormal, the others calmed down and looked at him.

   Soon, a piece of white paper was covered with various lines, long and short, horizontal and vertical, and folded vertically, making the eyes dazzled.

   "Li Mo, what is the origin of this bracelet?"

  Professor Yu knew him quite well, and suddenly remembered that he had the title of Golden Eyes, and the ones he could buy should not be worth one or two thousand.

   "Let's take a look first, can you see something?"

  Sitting next to him, Yu Huilian was the first to take the piece of paper. She only looked at it for a few seconds before smiling wryly: "It's all dense lines, and I feel dizzy when I look at it."

  Others also looked at them curiously. As Professor Yu said, there is nothing to see except the lines. But Li Mo is so solemn, then there must be some secret hidden in these lines.

   "Li Mo, you should reveal the secret."

  The paper turned around and came back to him. Li Mo took a pen and drew two frames on the paper.

   "It's really a bit of a secret. The lines in this box are a bit like hexagrams." Curator Fu looked at it, handed the paper to a researcher and said, "Old Zhao, you have studied Feng Shui, what is this?"

  The expert surnamed Zhao took a closer look and was surprised: "Except for the fourth line which is a long line, the rest of the five lines are two dotted lines. This is the modest hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams in "Book of Changes."

   "In the hexagram body, the upper hexagram is Kun for the earth, and the lower hexagram is Gen for the mountain. The modest hexagram Gen goes down to Kun and up, which is the image of a mountain under the ground. The mountain is tall, but it is underground, so the height cannot be displayed."

"A humble person is like a mountain. He never degrades himself, never exalts himself, never shows off his beauty, and never hides his bare rocks and cliffs. He always treats everything around him sincerely and sincerely treats everything around him. It is a fine virtue to deal with a much lower earth."

  Expert Zhao looked at Li Mo: "Have you also studied "Book of Changes?"

Li Mo shook his head and said: "Master asked me to read more books when he taught me about antiques and miscellaneous studies. I don't understand the Book of Changes. The reason why I have an impression of Qian Gua is because of the sixty-four hexagrams. Each hexagram has six lines. Each line has good or bad luck, but only the Qian Gua, the six lines are all auspicious."

   "Translated in the current language, it means Liuliu Daji, Liuliu Dashun."

  Professor Yu took a sip of tea and said: "It seems that the person who made this bracelet is still very hardworking, and has high expectations for the owner of the bracelet."

   "Yes, the person who made this bracelet is not only very hardworking, but also very ambitious."

   Li Mo's words of not throwing away made everyone puzzled again.

  He took a pen and drew a frame on the paper again, and circled four circles inside the frame.

  Professor Yu's complexion changed drastically at this moment. She grabbed the paper, and the originally unclear lines formed four seal characters in four circles.

   "Kaiyuan Tongbao."

  The four characters in seal script are surrounded by Qian hexagrams in the sixty-four hexagrams of "Book of Changes". Their existence is hidden by lines, and they are micro-carved on the surface of the bracelet. People who don't know the truth will never discover this secret.

  Kaiyuan Tongbao is the currency issued after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. In a certain sense, currency is the foundation of a country, and it can also be said to be something that condenses the destiny of the country.

  Golden snakes are entwined, and snakes are used to describe dragons.

  Hidden hexagrams of modesty, all six lines are auspicious.

   Also hide the four characters of Kaiyuan Tongbao. Is this to compete for the foundation of the country and the destiny of the country?

  The owner of the bracelet wants to rebel? This is the great crime of exterminating the nine clans.

  The origin of this bracelet is a bit scary.

  Everyone gathered around, exclaiming incessantly. They vaguely felt that a huge unknown secret in history was about to be revealed,
