Chapter 198: Questioning
Whether it is Wang Yang, Sun He or Gu Feng, it is not the first time Luoyang has been here.↗
Wang Yang and Sun He have visited here with their classmates. Students who go to school like to go out to play. After earning some money from work, they start traveling around. Usually, they cannot go far away, but these are always close.
Gu Feng came with Lao Lai, more than once, and basically someone paid a lot of money to ask Lao Lai to come out of the mountain to help. Gu Feng was already familiar with Luoyang's road. After making an appointment, he drove there immediately.
That collector is a private entrepreneur who is not doing the real economy, but financial loans and so on.
Private financial companies have been in a bad state in the past two years, especially in Luoyang. There have been several major events, and the whole market is full of grief. Although this collector is a little better, he can no longer hold on in such a general environment. He is now selling his collection and wants to exchange it for some cash to save the company.
Some of his collections have been auctioned, and most of the remaining items are unsold, including this war drum.
The collector lives in a high-end community in the south of the city. The house is large, with five bedrooms and two living rooms and a duplex structure. When Wang Yang arrived, his home was a little messy and there were many things.
"Boss Peng, is this the drum you mentioned?"
As soon as he entered the collector's door, Wang Yang saw a big red paint drum on the balcony. The drum was quite large, with a diameter of the drum surface definitely exceeding fifty centimeters, which is more than half a meter long.
The drum also has a drum stand and a drum hammer. It looks like it is the original match and is very majestic when it is placed there.
"That's right, this side of the stock was obtained by accident in Shaanxi more than ten years ago. The drum is engraved with the word "Yulin". According to the expert's identification, this side of the drum was used by Sun Chuanting's army in the late Ming Dynasty. Isn't what you want a war drum? That's it!"
Boss Peng is named Peng Hui, who is 49 years old. He usually likes to collect. This drum has been bought by him for more than ten years. He has also obtained an expert to identify it. It is a very good war drum.
Sun Chuanting was a civil servant, but he could train troops. He was a famous general with both civil and military skills in the late Ming Dynasty. He defeated the civil rebels at that time several times. He was captured by King Gao Yingxiang of the rebel king. Li Zicheng was defeated by him several times and was almost forced to death by him.
If it weren't for the overall situation in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng would have probably been wiped out by him long ago.
After Sun Chuanting died in battle, Ming Shi said: Chuanting died, and Ming was destroyed.
"Mr. Wang, if you really want this drum, the price is easy to negotiate!"
Peng Hui has been observing Wang Yang. He had handed the drum to the auction company before. But it failed to sell and later it was put online for hawking. Wang Yang contacted him through online information.
Wang Yang said on the phone that if the drum is really a war drum and meets his requirements, the price is not a problem.
When he first met Wang Yang, he was still a little confused. He didn't expect that Wang Yang was such a young man, like a student. If it weren't for their car that was more than one million Escalade and they came to find him, Peng Hui would probably think they were having fun and joking with him.
The psychological price of this drum he went to auction was 600,000, which ordinary people could not afford.
"Boss Peng, it's not a matter of price. I need the war drum to play an important role, not to collect it myself. Your drum is not a war drum!"
Wang Yang sighed. From the first sight of this drum, he knew that he had been in vain. Peng Hui's drum was not a war drum at all, but a drum or a opera drum. Wang Yang didn't know what it was. He was not a collector or an appraiser.
But he was sure that this was indeed not a war drum.
Any war drum, as long as you have been on the battlefield, will have its own breath. The atmosphere on the battlefield is completely different from what you use in daily life. War drums are an important prop on the battlefield and are used to boost morale. This breath is the most contaminated.
Whether it is a victory or a defeat, this kind of aura will exist, and it cannot be seen or touched, but Wang Yang can feel it. Unfortunately, Wang Yang did not feel this kind of aura on this drum, which only means that it is not a real war drum.
If it is a war drum and it is really used in Sun's traditional army, it will meet Wang Yang's requirements.
Although Sun Chuanting was defeated and died in the end, it was not entirely his reason. Besides, he had won many battles before, with more victory but less defeat. However, after he was defeated, he never had the chance to recover. Unlike his opponent Li Zicheng, who was defeated repeatedly and defeated repeatedly, like Xiaoqiang who could not be beaten to death, he finally forced Chongzhen to death.
"How come it's not a war drum? I have an expert appraisal, take a look!"
Peng Hui hurried to get the appraisal certificate, while Wang Yang shook his head to stop him. Those appraisal certificates were useless to him. Without a certificate, he would take away the real war drum. No matter how good the certificate is, it would be useless if it was not a war drum.
What's more, he bought it not to collect it, but to use it.
As for the price, he never thought that Liu Kui would pay for these things. He would call Liu Kui and ask him to buy or pay for them. Wang Yang could help them, but it would not be so good that he could pay for him out of his own pocket. Liu Kui's family is not short of this money.
"let's go!"
Hope comes and return disappointed. Wang Yang shook his head and sighed. There was nothing he could do if the drum was not right, so he could only continue to search. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared before and knew that such drums were not easy to find, so he never thought that he could find them once.
Wang Hui was disappointed, and Peng Hui was even more disappointed.
His drum is indeed an antique, but no matter how good the antique is, it needs to be exchanged for money. What he lacks now is money rather than antiques. If he can't sell it, it's useless.
"Wang Yang, I feel that the drum is pretty good. It looks very domineering. Isn't it really a war drum?"
When he went back, Sun He asked there. He knew the purpose of Wang Yang looking for the war drums, and also knew that Wang Yang wanted to help Liu Kui change the Feng Shui and build their building again. He was not surprised by this.
After returning from Tibet, they all knew that Wang Yang had such ability and was very powerful.
"No, it has its own form, no intention!"
Wang Yang shook his head slowly. It was indeed not a war drum. If so, Wang Yang would have contacted Liu Kui long ago and asked him to come and buy it directly.
Luoyang is not far from Jiyuan. In the afternoon, Wang Yang and the others returned to the institute. Yan Pengchao and Ma Teng did not come back. The institute was deserted, except for the Taoist priests who were in seclusion, there were only three of them.
Sitting in front of the table in the yard, Wang Yang took out the three copper coins and was about to ask for a divination.
I have had the experience of asking questions before. When Tian Wang Yang was fine, he studied it in depth. The more he studied it, the more he felt it was very profound and attracted enough interest.
Wang Yang held three copper coins in both hands and threw them on the stone table. The three copper coins turned around on the silk thread and fell down quickly.
"Mingyi Gua, Kun is above and below?"
Wang Yang asked about the Mingyi hexagram of the 36th hexagram. The inner hexagram of the original hexagram is Li, Li is the sun, the outer hexagram is Kun, and Kun is the earth.
The hexagram is the fourth line of the Mingyi hexagram. The word of the hexagram is "enter in the left abdomen, to obtain the Mingyi heart, and to come out of the door." The image says: Entering the left abdomen, to obtain the heart and mind.
Looking at the hexagram, Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
