334: Chapter 334 Qing Dynasty Daoguang Period Walnut Wood Carved God of Wealth Statue
"Name: Qing Dynasty Daoguang Period Walnut Wood Carved God of Wealth Statue."
"Grade: Fifth Grade."
"Attribute: Wealth Attraction +9."
"Skill: Rolling Wealth."
Good stuff!
Han Jingyang nodded with satisfaction.
This attribute and skill are the most popular on the market and can sell for a lot of money.
The grade is not low either.
It is an excellent choice for either individual use or setting up formations, and it can even serve as a core item for certain feng shui arrays, which is what people often call the 'eye of the formation.'
If sold individually, it would fetch at least ten million.
Using it for a feng shui array would only be more expensive; twenty or thirty million, or even fifty or sixty million, is possible. Although there aren't many people willing to spend that much on a feng shui array, they do exist; one just needs to wait patiently.
Thinking this, he looked up and examined the young man with the flat-top haircut, and the more he looked, the more incredible he found it.
How could such a good item exist in an ordinary home?
Oh, there was an elder who was a Yin-Yang Master in the family. That explains it. It's perfectly normal for a folk expert to leave some good things for their descendants.
It's just a pity that the descendants are unworthy and can only treat these good items as ornaments, unable to utilize them at all. It's like starving while guarding a mountain of treasure; that's quite miserable.
However, that's how the transmission of metaphysics goes; it could break at any time. Especially with this kind of small family transmission model, the risk is extremely high.
How about I provide some appropriate compensation to this young man?
Thinking of this, Han Jingyang took out a jade pendant and handed it to the young man: "This is for you."
The young man was stunned: "Mr. Han, what does this mean? I... this is a thank-you gift. Thank you for saving my whole family, but I cannot accept a return gift from you."
Han Jingyang waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's not a return gift, just a small token of appreciation. It's not worth much, but it can help you attract some romance, let you meet a few more girls, and you should seize the opportunity."
"Ah?" The young man was both surprised and happy, his eyes full of anticipation, but his expression was conflicted: "This kind of... dharma instrument must be very precious, right?"
"It's mediocre. What's wrong?"
"I, I cannot accept it. You saved my whole family, yet we could only bring two insignificant pieces of junk as a thank-you gift. I am already very ashamed; how can I accept your things in return?"
Han Jingyang laughed: "How about this, you help me find two more similar pieces of junk, and this little item will be your errand fee."
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Han."
"You're welcome, go about your business."
Zhou Rui left after expressing his endless gratitude.
Han Jingyang continued to accept the gifts.
He had saved over two hundred villagers directly. Counting those who weren't at home but had Lyu Zhiqiang's oil paintings in their homes, the total number of villagers exceeded three hundred. Converted into families, that was about a hundred households.
Every household brought something as a thank-you gift.
Some were valuable, some were cheap.
He refused all cash, gold, and silver jewelry, returning them directly.
He would examine other items first; if they were useful, he kept them; if not, he returned them.
He kept busy until after ten o'clock at night before finishing.
But the harvest was not much.
Although the villagers had some awareness of hoarding antiques because of Wang Zhiwei, what good items could ordinary people hoard?
Most were worthless, common goods.
Occasionally there would be one or two small boutique items, but they couldn't be identified.
So, overall, the gains were not really high.
However, with those two great boutique items from Zhou Rui, this trip to Shen Village was very fruitful and well worth it.
Whether it was the God of Wealth statue or the Cavalry General seal, both were very rare and good items.
Not to mention, Deng Darong also contributed a good item.
In the final tally, adding up all the odds and ends, there were over twenty items, and the overall value was not low.
At least Han Jingyang was quite satisfied.
After packing up and saying goodbye to Deng Darong, just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhou Rui, who had left in the afternoon, rush in panting while holding a package: "Mr. Han, take a look at this."
Han Jingyang glanced at Zhou Rui and secretly frowned.
This earthy smell all over him...
Could it be that it was just dug out from some pit?
That's amazing!
This Shenzhuang Village looks unremarkable, but I didn't expect it to have such resources.
And it looks like they are already used to it; whenever they need something, they just go and dig.
That's incredible.
Han Jingyang pointed to the coffee table calmly.
After Zhou Rui put down the things in his arms, he reached out to uncover the black cloth wrapped around them.
After seeing clearly what was inside, he was immediately startled.
A tripod!
A bronze artifact!
That is fucking amazing!
This tiny Shenzhuang Village is truly hiding dragons and crouching tigers; it has all kinds of talents, and they can even get something like this out, without any fear at all, as if they were already accustomed to it.
You have to know, this is a serious crime punishable by a firing squad.
It's not child's play.
Looking closer, inside the bronze tripod, there was a small cloth bag, the kind of drawstring bag from ancient times. In ancient times, it was mostly used to hold money, also called a money bag; now it is mainly called a lucky bag.
There were just two items: a bronze tripod and a small lucky bag.
Han Jingyang first picked up the small lucky bag and shook it; it was empty inside.
But the system reacted.
"Ding: Identifiable item discovered. Do you want to identify it?"
"Yes / No."
Identify.
"Name: Eastern Han Dynasty Gold and Silver Thread Brocade Drawstring Bag."
"Grade: Second Grade."
"Attribute: Storage +26."
"Skill: None."
Holy crap?
Han Jingyang jumped up, staring at the drawstring bag in his hand with a fluctuating expression.
Second Grade!
Storage attribute!
The first Second Grade item appeared just like that?
And it comes with such a top-tier attribute!
Although it has no skill, this attribute is worth dozens of top-notch skills.
With this item, I won't have to carry so many bags full of items when going out in the future. I can just store them in this little drawstring bag and take them out to use anytime, anywhere. It's simply too convenient.
This attribute is really too awesome!
It was even tailor-made for him.
He was worried before because he had more and more items in his hands, and each one could potentially be useful, but he couldn't carry every item with him, so he could only choose selectively, which was too inconvenient.
And now he has it.
Han Jingyang didn't even know how to describe his feelings.
Excited!
Thrilled!
He wished he could take a megaphone and announce his harvest to the world.
Deng Darong and Zhou Rui, who were on the side, were very uneasy when they saw Han Jingyang's reaction. They both knew the origin of these items very well, but they didn't know Han Jingyang's attitude. If Han Jingyang saw through the origin of these items and wanted to turn them over to the relevant authorities, both of them knew that many people in their village would have to go to jail or even face the firing squad.
Therefore, the two of them were not only nervous but also very regretful; they shouldn't have been so reckless.
Now they could only bet that Han Jingyang couldn't tell the origin of these items.
Or, bet that Han Jingyang would not expose or report them.
Therefore, their moods rose and fell like a roller coaster, following Han Jingyang's expressions.
After a long while, Deng Darong cautiously probed: "Mr. Han, is, is there any problem with this little bag?"
Han Jingyang came back to his senses, noticed the changes in their expressions, and smiled: "No problem, it's a very good drawstring bag, and it's something I really need. Thank you."
Deng Darong was instantly relieved: "No need to thank us, no need. It is we who should thank you. No matter how valuable these things are, they are not as valuable as the lives of our whole families. You saved so many people in our village, so they will naturally use the best things to repay you. Especially this child, Zhou Rui, he is the kindest and most grateful. You saved his family of three, and he would repay you even if it cost him his life."
This was very well said; it meant that Zhou Rui doesn't usually do this, and this time he only did it to repay Han Jingyang for saving his life.
Han Jingyang nodded, stared into Zhou Rui's eyes, and asked: "Are there any more things like this?"
