Chapter 353
When Chen Fan and others arrived, there were already people sitting behind two long tables.
What is astonishing is that sitting in the upper left corner are a pair of monks, one old and one young.
Sitting on the right side is a pair of middle-aged men. Both of them wear glasses and are full of elegance. They look like professors and scholars.
There is nothing placed on the stone platform next to these two positions.
"Mr. Chen, how about I sit with you?"
Sun Mingen came over and said diligently.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Sit next door. It's not far away. If you're not sure about something, just ask me anytime."
"Okay, okay!" Sun Mingen smiled apologetically and sat in the second seat on the right with his father.
Chen Fan also sat in the third seat on the right with Zhong Yishan and continued to look at the environment here.
Unlike the empty booth, there were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
The light was also very bright. Looking up, Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Huang Tingjian's "Inscription on Pillars", Wang Shimin's "Dwelling in Fuchun Rivers and Mountains", Chen Rong's "Six Dragons", Zhao Mengfu's handwritten "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra"...
A total of more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings were hung, and each one was of astonishing value.
It can be said that the value of the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall is probably no less than one billion.
This is Chen Fan's handiwork, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Several of these paintings were auctioned abroad in recent years, and the people who took them were very mysterious and their identities have not been announced.
The pair of middle-aged male and female professors from above were also looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
The woman just now came with a copper stove in her hand and knelt down beside Chen Fan. A beautiful copper pot was boiling water on the incense burner.
Spices are placed in the copper stove, and the fragrance overflows, making people feel refreshed and refreshed.
After Zhong Yishan smelled it, he couldn't help but asked: "Girl, is this ambergris burning here?"
"Sir, it's ambergris that can calm the mind, remove filth, and strengthen the body."
The woman answered respectfully.
Zhong Yishan's breathing became rapid.
Ambergris is now sold at a sky-high price on the market. Zhong Yishan is proficient in medicine and naturally knows a lot about it. Once he smells it, he can tell that the burning ambergris is of the highest quality, and the formula is also an extremely rare ancient recipe. .
"Mr. Chen, this is too luxurious!"
Zhong Yishan looked at the other tables and saw a woman making the same arrangement over there, and he couldn't help but said in shock.
Chen Fan smiled and said: "If it was really Hao, shouldn't it have already been arranged and waiting for us to come?"
Zhong Yishan couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.
"Master Zhong doesn't need to care about this. Maybe it's just pretending to be luxurious and creating a psychological impact."
Chen Fan said calmly.
"I cannot agree with what Mr. Chen said. This environment and arrangement are definitely not something ordinary Chinese can achieve. The background of the owner of the Fish and Dragon Society is definitely beyond our imagination!"
"Some things feel mysterious and unattainable just because you have never been in contact with them." Chen Fan said calmly: "When you get to know and understand them, maybe you will find that it is nothing more than that."
Zhong Yishan shook his head. He was shocked by the handwriting of the master of the Fish and Dragon Society. Coupled with some legends circulating in Jinling, he was deeply in awe of the master of the Fish and Dragon Society.
Chen Fan stopped talking and wanted to speak, but saw Sun Mingen approaching again, "Mr. Chen, do you want to take a look at what we brought?"
Chen Fan looked over and saw that Sun Chuancheng had opened the box he had brought and was carefully taking out the things.
"That's fine!"
Chen Fan stood up and walked over.
The first thing Sun Chuancheng took out was a jade seal, which was green in color and had a button in the shape of a dragon. It was beautifully and elegantly shaped.
"Mr. Chen, take a look." Sun Mingen said.
Chen Fan picked up the jade seal. On the bottom were the four Chinese characters "Edict of Ten Thousand Fa" written in Yang script.
Chen Fan looked a little strange, "Taoist utensils?"
Sun Chuancheng nodded and said: "There are rumors that the master of the Fish and Dragon Secret Society likes this kind of things the most. The possibility of using this kind of things in exchange for treasures is greater. Ordinary curios and antiques, then
Often it cannot enter his eyes."
He took out another object, which turned out to be a jade tablet with some messy ancient seal characters and characters engraved on it.
Chen Fan put down the jade seal, picked up the thing and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This thing?"
"Um, make up the numbers, make up the numbers." Sun Mingen was a little embarrassed and said: "I asked an expert to appraise it. The jade is good, but the seal on it is pure nonsense."
Making up the numbers?
Chen Fan asked: "What do you want to change?"
"We don't know, let's see what we can get in exchange." Sun Mingen said slightly embarrassed: "Actually, we didn't expect to receive an invitation, so we brought everything we could."
"However, it is said that the owner of the Secret Meeting of Fish and Dragon will generally not ask the people who come to the meeting to suffer. The value of the things exchanged will be higher than that of the guests."
"Of course, the main thing is face." Sun Mingen said with a smile: "If you can participate in the Secret Meeting of Fish and Dragon, you can brag about it for a lifetime, and your face will definitely be bright."
Just as he was talking, Sun Chuancheng took out the third thing.
This is a Yushanzi, engraved with the story of meeting an immortal on the rooftop.
Chen Fan picked it up and looked at it, his expression slightly condensed, and he said: "How long have you owned this thing?"
"It's been more than three years." Sun Mingen said with a wry smile: "I spent 10 million to buy it. Because of this, I was secretly called a stick by many people. I carry it with me, but I didn't let you see it last time, Mr. Chen.
arrive."
Chen Fan put it back in Yushanzi, pondered for a moment, and said, "I guess I can get something good in exchange for this."
"Really?" Sun Mingen said in surprise.
"The owner of the Secret Society of Fish and Dragons should be trying to collect something like this." Chen Fan smiled and said, "Of course, it's just my guess. We'll find out later."
As he was talking, footsteps came from outside the door.
Another person walked in under the guidance of several women.
Chen Fan took a quick look and looked startled.
He saw an acquaintance again.
Gu Zian and Tao Xiaoyan.
However, the two of them are not together, but on the front and back legs.
Regardless of Tao Xiaoyan's identity, Gu Zian comes from a century-old Chinese family and has many treasures in his family. It is not surprising that he was invited to participate in the Secret Meeting of Fish and Dragon.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Fan returned to his seat.
Ping Yihong stepped forward and called everyone to sit down.
Chen Fan noticed Gu Zian and Tao Xiaoyan, and they also noticed him.
Gu Zian turned around and sat behind the desk with a woman of the same age, pretending not to see Chen Fan.
The poison has been cured, and he no longer needs anything from Chen Fan, so there is no need to fawn over Chen Fan anymore.
However, Tao Xiaoyan showed a look of surprise and walked straight over, squatting down and shouting: "Chen Fan, are you also coming to this secret meeting?"
Chen Fan nodded lightly.
"Hey, what kind of treasure did you bring? Can you show it to me?"
Her eyes rolled darkly, and she said curiously.
Chen Fan said: "I didn't bring anything with me, I was just invited to come and take a look."
Tao Xiaoyan didn't believe it and hummed: "You are very stingy. Do you want to see what I have brought?"
Chen Fan said: "The trade fair is about to start. It won't be too late to check back later."
"It's boring." Tao Xiaoyan couldn't show off, so she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: "Do you want to know who is holding this secret meeting?"
Chen Fan was startled and said, "You know?"
Tao Xiaoyan looked proud and said: "Others don't know, but I really know. Why don't you go over and sit with me and I'll explain it to you in detail."
Chen Fan looked at Tao Xiaoyan's beautiful face. Although he was curious, he rejected her, "There's no need to sit together. If you want to say something, just tell me."
Tao Xiaoyan was speechless.
At this time, a middle-aged woman came over and said, "Xiaoyan, what are you doing? How can you be squatting like this?"
The tone was quite stern.
Tao Xiaoyan looked bitter, stood up, winked at Chen Fan, turned around and sat behind an empty table with the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman also has a beautiful face, but her expression is extremely cold and her aura is extremely strong.
