    Meng Zitao just told Lao Chuantou about the advantages and disadvantages of auctioning, which made Lao Chuantou very confused. Should he settle down now, or should he auction it off? If he auctioned it off, he would be better off.  It's not a big deal to make money, but if you only make 800,000 yuan for a shoot, including all kinds of expenses, the money you can get is far from what it is now.

    So, he discussed it with his wife again, and in the end it was his wife who made the final decision and chose to settle down.

    Meng Zitao would not express any opinion on their choice, and then the old boatman opened another box. There was something special inside, it was an ancient jade mirror.

    Someone may have said, can a jade mirror shine on people?  In fact, jade mirrors are not smooth enough and are generally used for display.

    This jade mirror is very large. To say it is large means that it is larger in diameter than the average bronze mirror for taking photos (about 30 centimeters in diameter).

    The most unique thing about this white jade mirror is its back.  The relief technique is used to carve landscapes, ancient trees and other patterns, and the knife technique is simple, rough and grand.  There are high mountains and clouds at the top, pine and cypress trees in the close view, and a white deer wandering among the trees.

    "There is also an immortal jade boy among them, with rich patterns and decorations, distinct layers, fluttering clothing patterns, and a leisurely look, quite like an immortal.  The characters are all vivid and lifelike, showing the jade carver's profound observation and perfect expression.

    To be honest, this is the first time Meng Zitao has seen this kind of jade mirror, and judging from the decorative style, it should be an inheritance from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

    Moreover, the jade boy's flowing clothes, densely carved short parallel lines on the hem, tight stripes on the cuffs, multiple long and short parallel arcs on the clothes, and grid decoration on the boots clearly follow the style of jade carving figures in the Tang Dynasty, and the outer part of the back of the head is  Features such as convex and realistic facial features, and the word "rice" in the clothing pattern were elements that became popular in jade carvings of boys in the following two Song dynasties.

    Judging from various characteristics, this jade mirror should have been made during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In addition, the landscape content on this jade mirror gave him a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu, reminding him of the landscape painting that might contain Wen Tao's treasure.  .  But if you look closely, there is a big difference between the two, and they are probably not related.

    But no matter what, this jade mirror gave Meng Zitao a very unusual feeling, and his intuition reminded him that the jade mirror was very important to him.

    Although this jade mirror is very important, Meng Zitao still told the truth, told the situation of this jade mirror, and valued it according to the market price.

    The old captain said in surprise: "Is this thing worth 800,000?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Yes, the jade quality is excellent, the carving skills are also very high, and the diameter is large enough. There is no problem in estimating the price at 800,000."

    The surprises that came one after another made the old couple overjoyed and somewhat unable to recover.

    After a while, Meng Zitao asked directly: "Uncle, what are you going to do with this jade mirror?"

    The old captain came to his senses and began to hesitate again, but this time his wife spoke directly: "Do you agree with the price you said?"

    "Of course."

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll sell you all these things!¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled and nodded: "The total is 1,648,000. Let me round up the whole number, 1,650,000. What do you think?"

    The old captain smiled happily: "Okay, here's the price, the deal is done!"

    Meng Zitao signed an agreement with him, and then went to the bank to transfer the money. During the transfer, Meng Zitao asked Lao Chuantou if he wanted to give the money for the jade gourd. Lao Chuantou simply agreed and wrote a letter to Meng Zitao.  A receipt.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Back at the hotel in the evening, Meng Zitao said goodbye to Luo Danran and returned to his room. He took out the jade mirror and couldn't wait to study it.

    However, after studying for half an hour, Meng Zitao didn't find anything special, and he felt a little strange. Could it be that there was something wrong with his intuition this time?

    This was obviously impossible. He thought that he must have failed to find the key point, so he simply used his superpower to inspect the inside of the entire jade mirror.

    A few minutes later, Meng Zitao's face showed excitement. His intuition was correct. There was indeed a secret in this jade mirror, but this secret required certain conditions to be seen.

    Meng Zitao was a little troubled at first, because he couldn't tell what the specific conditions were, and he only knew that it was related to the reflection of light.  But thinking about it again, the jade mirror has not changed during the day, so is it possible that it will change at night? What kind of light will there be at night?  It's undoubtedly the moonlight.

    But what troubles Meng Zitao is that it is only the beginning of the month, and he will definitely not be able to find suitable moonlight.  One wayWe would wait for a while, but Meng Zitao couldn't wait any longer, so he went to find some lamps to simulate the moonlight.

    The light of the moonlight is relatively dim, and it is not easy to simulate without suitable things. Meng Zitao went to a few supermarkets that were still open and found a few desk lamps but was not very satisfied. In the end, he was lucky and found one.  A moon lamp that simulates the moon.

    After returning home, Meng Zitao directly tried the moon lamp and placed the jade mirror under the light. He first adjusted to the white light. The light was relatively dim and matched the brightness of the moonlight.

    Since the landscape and human faces were carved on the back, Meng Zitao turned the back of the jade mirror to the light. After waiting for a while, it had no effect. Then he turned the jade mirror over again. After a while, something surprising happened.  There is actually a faint scene on the surface of the jade mirror, but it is not obvious.

    After about a minute, Meng Zitao finally saw clearly. First of all, there was a mountain with a small river flowing from the foot of the mountain. In addition, there was a fairy boy standing on the mountainside.  With a gentle smile, she holds the fairy peach in her hands as a tribute. She has a graceful figure, elegant dress, and ribbons hanging around her body.

    Meng Zitao was very surprised that he was able to express these scenery, which shows the author's superb skills!

    Apart from these, nothing else appears on the jade mirror.

    After that, Meng Zitao hypothesized that if this picture was related to the landscape and figure picture he had seen before, that is, it involved the treasure left by Wen Tao, then the place where the treasure was buried was probably within the area where Fairy Tong was.

    However, the difficult thing now is that it is difficult to find this mountain, because thousands of years have passed, and the terrain must have changed to some extent, such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, etc.

    Especially during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in that area. At that time, the Sichuan Plain was rifted, the suburbs were moved, the roads were changed, the trees were turned upside down, and the streets were reversed.  The five mountains were shaken, and the whole world was shaken.  The mausoleum valley changes, rising up to form a mound and descending into a ravine. Some hills and valleys sink into the plains, or mountains protrude from the plains. Those that surge become springs, and those that split apartMountains move and rivers move four or five miles, sand surges and sinks countless times.  Thousands of miles.

    Under the devastation of such a major earthquake, even if Wen Tao did leave a treasure, would he still be able to find it?

    This is one of the main reasons why the exact address has not been found even after so long.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
