In the past, it had always been people who tried everything to be his apprentice. Now, someone was trying everything to take him in as a disciple. Moreover, it was the highly respected Qi Shaowen.
Many passersby turned to look at them. Many of the archaeology students did not know who Tang Zheng was. They were all trying to guess who he was.
Yan Liang almost fainted. Damn, was there any justice in this world? What exactly was so great about this kid?
Qi Shaowen stared at Tang Zheng with burning eyes, waiting for his answer. However, Tang Zheng shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness. My ambition lies elsewhere."
Qi Shaowen gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to turn me down. You don't know the charm of this industry. Today, I'll take you to a place. I'll let you experience the charm of this industry before you make a decision. “
Tang Zheng found it difficult to turn down Qi Shaowen's offer. Since the old man was so enthusiastic, he would follow him and see what charm he had.
"Alright. Where are we going?"
Qi Shaowen's eyes lit up. He was excited. "Let's go. You'll know when we get there. I promise it'll be a good place."
Then, he grabbed Tang Zheng's sleeve as if he was afraid that he would run away. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two of them disappeared.
However, before they could reach the school gate, they were stopped by Li Xiaotian.
"Where are you going?"
"Hey, it's you." Qi Shaowen had a deep impression of Li Xiaotian. He could not forget the Ladies of the Nine Heavens Painting.
"Hey, can we talk about this again? Can I borrow the original Ladies of the Nine Heavens Painting?" Qi Shaowen asked.
The news that the Ladies of the Nine Heavens Painting was a fake had spread within a small circle. It caused a huge commotion in the archaeology world. Many people asked Qi Shaowen how he discovered the flaw.
When they heard that it was one of his students, they found it unbelievable. They wanted to know where the original painting was and if they could have a chance to appreciate its charm.
Li Xiaotian still shook his head. "I'm not the one keeping the original painting. I can't get my hands on it, so I can't show it to you."
"What a pity, what a pity." Qi Shaowen let out a long sigh.
Li Xiaotian changed the topic and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, I'm Tang Zheng. I'm going to see the charm of archaeology."
Li Xiaotian suddenly had an idea and asked, "Can I go with you?"
"Of course. Let's go together." Qi Shaowen readily agreed.
Li Xiaotian walked to Tang Zheng's side and asked in a low voice, "Why is this old man so enthusiastic? He's like a completely different person from yesterday."
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "He wants to take me as his disciple."
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, so you're quite popular? By the way, how did you determine the authenticity of those things yesterday? "
"It's just a feeling," Tang Zheng said lightly.
Li Xiaotian pursed his lips and pretended to be mysterious. "Is this a secret skill of cultivators?"
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't sure if this was a common skill of cultivators, especially the airflow in the bronze mask. If other cultivators could also sense that airflow and then absorb it, wouldn't they be able to quickly increase their cultivation?
Besides, what was so special about that bronze mask? He couldn't tell at the moment and could only say perfunctorily, "Maybe."
"Cultivators have so many magical things. It seems that the legends are true. No wonder the people of Wu Zong hate you to the core. You have too many advantages in many aspects." Li Xiaotian said meaningfully.
"Why does Wu Zong want to kill cultivators so badly? I don't think all martial artists are prejudiced against cultivators. "
"In this world, only Wu Zong hates you. There is a historical reason for this because Wu Zong was created by Nu 'erha's descendants to guard against you cultivators."
"Nu 'erha's descendants?" Tang Zheng was shocked. He had a deep impression of this legendary figure from hundreds of years ago. He actually used such a great method to expel such a powerful cultivator to the Sky Beyond Heaven.
"Weren't all the cultivators expelled back then? Isn't it unnecessary to create a Wu Zong? "Tang Zheng asked suspiciously.
Li Xiaotian shook her head and said, "It seems that you don't know much about what happened at that time. I only know a few words, but after the cultivators were expelled, it didn't take long for some other cultivators to emerge. These were some people who obtained the cultivation method left behind by the cultivators by chance. The purpose of the Martial Sect was to eliminate these people."
Tang Zheng suddenly realized, but he also felt a chill in his heart. Nu 'erha really wanted to kill all the cultivators, he did not want a cultivator to exist in this world.
"After hundreds of years, there are very few cultivators, so I'm very surprised that you can still become a cultivator. Furthermore, your master's cultivation is so high that he was able to avoid being hunted down by Wu Zong for so many years. It's truly a miracle." Li Xiaotian praised.
Tang Zheng said that Tian Chanzi did not cultivate to such a high realm bit by bit, but was the result of his rebirth.
"What are you two whispering about? Hurry up and get in the car." Qi Shaowen stopped a taxi and called out.
The taxi went straight to Pan Garden. It was the first time for Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian to set foot here. This was a huge antique trading market. It was bustling with people, and there were all kinds of real or fake antiques.
Qi Shaowen brought the two of them to an antique shop called the Imperial Treasure House. As soon as they stepped through the door, Tang Zheng felt a vast ancient aura blow against his face.
He could not help but gasp. There were many treasures in this shop, this aura was condensed from many real antiques.
An old man with a white beard wearing a long robe walked over and shouted, "Old Qi, how come you're willing to come to my little place? Don't you have classes today? "
Qi Shaowen's face was glowing as he said, "Old Wei, I've brought my apprentice here today to experience the charm of archaeology. Of course I'd pick your shop. In the entire Panjiayuan Gardens, you're the one with the most treasures."
This old man with a white beard was the one who spoke to Qi Shaowen on the phone yesterday. He was also the one who discovered the true mystery of the Twinklegem Pagoda.
Old Wei stared at Qi Shaowen as if he was looking at an alien. "Old Qi, when did you take in a disciple? I thought you never took in disciples? "
Qi Shaowen chuckled. "That was in the past. Now I've met a genius, the future star of the archaeology world. Of course I can't let go of such a piece of unpolished jade." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Zheng with a burning gaze.
Old Wei was enlightened. "What did you say about the future star yesterday? Was it not a joke? Was it real?"
"Of course it was real. But let me tell you, you're done for. Don't think about such good things. I'm taking this disciple. No one else can compete with me." Qi Shaowen said eagerly, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
Old Wei was shocked. He and Qi Shaowen had been classmates since they were young and had been close friends for many years. He had never seen Qi Shaowen so attentive to anyone.
He could not help but look curiously at Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian. Huh? This young man's aura was strange. There was a kind of domineering aura. It was almost impossible for a young man to have this kind of aura. It would only appear in people of high status.
Old Wei's eyes flashed as if he wanted to see through Tang Zheng. But in the end, he could not see through Tang Zheng even with his decades of experience in antiques.
Huh? This little girl's temperament was not simple either. He could vaguely sense a fierce aura. These two were so young, but why did they give off such an extraordinary feeling?
This was the taste. Ordinary people would not have such feelings when looking at Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian, but Old Wei was the owner of this Imperial Treasury. He had been dealing with different people for decades. Moreover, he had been going through all kinds of real and fake antiques all day long. He had developed a pair of sharp eyes.
"Old Qi, who's the disciple you're talking about?" Old Wei could not make up his mind.
Qi Shaowen pointed at Tang Zheng and said, "Hey, this is the future star of the archeological world."
Tang Zheng was thick-skinned. He did not blush at such a compliment. Instead, he looked at the Imperial Treasury curiously.
There were many antiques in the shop, including jade, calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, bronze, iron, and so on.
Each of them had a kind of vicissitudes of life, which meant that all the antiques in this shop were authentic.
This was the amazing part. It was rare for a shop to guarantee that all the antiques were authentic.
After listening to Qi Shaowen's introduction, Old Wei stared straight at Tang Zheng. After a while, he said, "Old Qi, where did you find him?"
"He's this year's undergraduate student at Yenching University. I've really found a treasure."
"You said he's a genius. What proof do you have?" Old Wei was skeptical. He had lived for so many years and had seen so many so-called geniuses. Therefore, he was not surprised. After all, many geniuses were just bragging.
Qi Shaowen laughed. "I'm going to open your eyes today. Let's talk in the back hall."
He was very familiar with the Imperial Treasury. He strode to the back hall. "You two, hurry up. Let me tell you, Old Wei has a lot of treasures hidden away. Today, I'm going to open your eyes and let you understand the real charm of this business."
The number of treasures in the Imperial Treasury was well known in the Panjiayuan. However, most people could only see the antiques placed in the lobby. These were all for sale, and many of the treasures were not for sale. These were the treasures of the Imperial Treasury. This was the foundation of the Imperial Treasury. It was something that others could not compare to.
Seeing his old friend so excited, Old Wei did not stop him. Instead, he went with them to the back hall. The back hall was slightly smaller than the front hall. The decorations were also simpler. There were even fewer antiques on the wooden shelves.
However, when Tang Zheng walked in, his entire body couldn't help but tremble, and his gaze turned cold, because this time, not only did he feel an even denser ancient aura, he also felt a few slowly flowing streams of air. Especially one of the streams of air that was like a clear spring flowing on the stone floor, the clear and melodious sound caused Tang Zheng's mind to tremble.
