Pick up treasure

"Okay, among the tens of thousands of three-legged golden toads, one has already paid a high price of [-], and there are two remaining. Whose question board do you want to see next? Ms. Han."

Ms. Han has read the question boards of three people, and the two she is optimistic about bid one 50 yuan and the other [-] yuan. Now, Ms. Han expects the most is the [-]-year-old man who knows his destiny.

But Ms. Han said with a coquettish smile, "I want to see this little boy, yo, little boy, show your question board and ask my sister to have a look, I think you are worth [-] yuan?"

Zhu Zhiyuan was not angry, and said contemptuously, "Ten thousand or so, I'm afraid I'll surprise you by revealing it, you'd better look at this uncle first."

The man Zhu Zhiyuan called uncle shook his head lightly. He simply didn't bother to take a second look at a kid like Zhu Zhiyuan.

Indeed, the price offered by this uncle was higher than that of all the previous ones. In his heart, this golden toad spitting out pearls was already something he was determined to win.

As for Zhu Zhiyuan's words, he sounded like a joke.

"Little boy, sister, I want to read your question board, are you bright?"

Seeing that Ms. Han and Zhu Zhiyuan were about to quarrel, He Luo hurriedly intervened. "Okay, okay, since the question board has already been written, it doesn't matter what happened before and after, I think it's up to the uncle to show it first, what do you think?"

He Luo smiled and looked at the 50-year-old man. This man was very polite. He nodded towards He Luo and said, "The host said to tell me to light up, then I will light up. My price is [-]. I think I'm afraid this is the highest price here! To tell the truth, I am a collector who started out as a sculptor. I am personally very interested in this sculpture of golden toad spit beads, so I gave the price of [-]. To be honest Yes, except for someone like me who has a hobby of carving, no one would spend [-] yuan to buy this golden toad made of clay."

"Who said that, I offered [-]. My price is higher than yours!"

Zhu Zhiyuan presented the question board, which was 1 yuan higher than the uncle. Just after the uncle finished the passage just now, Zhu Zhiyuan slapped him in the face, and he didn't know what to say.

"Sister, what's the matter? Did my offer of [-] make you so excited? Yes, I'm the one who wants to buy your three-legged golden toad, haha."

Zhu Zhiyuan had never tasted what it was like to be a rich man, so he would not let it go when he had an opportunity to perform.

Ms. Han looked at Zhu Zhiyuan's embarrassing look and really didn't want to talk to him, but the young man who paid [-] just now sarcastically said, "Oh, I think you are a local tyrant, you paid [-] to buy this golden toad, tell you you like it Where is it?"

"I like it, I like it everywhere, can you control me!"

Zhu Zhiyuan stared dryly, but he really couldn't tell what's so good about this golden toad,

"You can't tell, you are a local tyrant!"

"I... I'm a rich man, what's wrong?"

"I'll just ask you, sister, if I offer [-] yuan, will you sell it?" Zhu Zhiyuan didn't want to talk nonsense with others, so he locked his eyes on Ms. Han, but Ms. Han stuttered.

"I…"

Before Ms. Han could say anything, He Luo said on the sidelines, "Ms. Han definitely wants to trade with you. This is the rule of our program. Come, both parties sign here, and our cooperation will be concluded!"

What He Luo held in his hand was the sales contract submitted by the staff in the audience. When it was handed over to Ms. Han, the latter had to take the pen and sign it.

Then Zhu Zhiyuan excitedly wrote his name on the contract.

Zhu Zhiyuan succeeded in robbing the treasure, and with the robbing of the golden toad, the treasure appraisal program came to an end.

He Luo announced that today's treasure appraisal is temporarily over here, and will continue tomorrow. Xiao Changyi rushed to his antique shop because of something.

After Wang Ding and Zhu Zhiyuan left Beijing #京TV, they went to meet with Xiao Yuan and the others. Xiao Yuan was resting in the courtyard after being tired from playing with everyone.

Seeing that Wang Ding was holding a treasure in his hand, Xiao Yuan's tired body was filled with strength immediately, and his eyes fixed on Wang Ding. "What kind of treasure is this for a show?"

"A three-legged golden toad has a special shape, so I bought it back." Wang Ding smiled, took out the golden toad, and placed it on the table in the yard.

"How much did you buy it for?"

"Forty thousand!" Wang Ding laughed.

"Forty thousand, this golden toad is so expensive!" Xiao Yuan was stunned, this little thing actually costs forty thousand.

"Yeah, I also don't think this golden toad is worth 4 yuan, but Brother Ding insists on buying it. Brother Ding, tell me why you asked me to spend [-] yuan to buy this thing? Everyone asked me where it was worth [-] yuan , I don’t even know how to answer.” Zhu Zhiyuan was trying to show off his limelight on the show, but in private, Zhu Zhiyuan also felt that this treasure was not worth it.

"I won't talk about it, it has a strange shape, you should pay attention to it."

"Let me take a look." Xiao Yuan knows Wang Ding Jianbao's ability, he said the shape, there must be his reason.

Xiao Yuan walked around the three-legged golden toad, thinking he had found the key, and said, "Brother Ding, this golden toad is really special. Their golden toads either spit out money, or take money, or Simply put a lot of copper coins on the bottom, all of which are good meanings and omens. But your golden toad has a bead in its mouth, which is really rare. I even doubt whether this thing is a fabrication of modern people. "

"You found out quite right. The golden toad contains beads, or it is called the golden toad spitting out beads. It is indeed rare to see such decorations. However, it does not mean that there are none."

Wang Ding pointed to the three-legged golden toad and said: "This kind of thing was quite popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Especially in the study case, there are often golden toads. It is said that there is a three-legged toad in the Moon Palace. Later generations also called the Moon Palace the Toad Palace. So there is the saying that the Toad Palace wins the laurel, which is used as a metaphor for getting a Jinshi."

"Well, there seems to be this, I've heard of it." Xiao Yuan said, he heard Brother Xiao Changyi mention it!

"Toad Palace, I can understand." Zhu Zhiyuan nodded, but he was a little confused: "But why do you have to spit out pearls? What's the meaning in it?"

"What's so hard to understand." Xiao Yuan said contemptuously, "You don't know how to read, what shape are the beads?"

"Round..."

As soon as he said that, Zhu Zhiyuan immediately came to his senses and suddenly realized: "The number one scholar."

"That's right." Wang Ding said with a smile: "Toad Palace Zhegui is a Jinshi in the middle school. In Jin Chan's mouth, there is a ball in his mouth. bit."

"Understood, it turned out to be this stalk."

Zhu Zhiyuan and Xiao Yuan nodded in admiration, they never thought that such a small ornamentation contained such a profound meaning.

"Actually, the early golden toads appeared more in Taoist culture." Seeing that the two were interested, Wang Ding said with great interest: "Later, after going deep into the people, it slowly evolved and let scholars use it. Yes. Liu Hai plays Jin Chan. Do you know? The allusion of Liu Hai playing Jin Chan and step by step fishing for money can be said to be deeply rooted in the collection circle. In the circle, we often see ornaments of Liu Hai playing Jin Chan, not only bald ones There are monks, portraits of people with disheveled hair, and even children. Folklore has diversified the character of Liu Hai, and there are even God of Wealth, Eight Immortals, Taoist priests, Zen masters, etc., and even in Huagu Opera, there is a woodcutter Liu Hai. .”

"That's right..." Xiao Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"Why so many bangs?"

Zhu Zhiyuan is a bit of a monk.

Seeing Zhu Zhiyuan's resentful expression, Wang Ding continued: "There are too many and complicated legends about Liu Hai, but the one that is closer to the original form should be Liu Haichan, one of the five Northern Patriarchs of Taoism. Liu Haichan, birth and death The year is unknown, he is a Taoist priest of the Five Dynasties. His surname is Liu, his first name is Lv, his style name is Zongcheng, his style name is Zhaoyuan, and his nickname is Haichanzi... Most of the prototypes of Liu Haixi Jinchan are him. You just need to remember this character and use it as a reference. gone."

"However, just this shape is worth [-] yuan!" Although Zhu Zhiyuan was confused, he still grasped the key points very well.

Wang Ding also opened the skylight and said, "It's not the three-legged golden toad that is worth [-] yuan, but the bead in the golden toad's mouth."

"This bead? What's so special about this bead?"

Undoubtedly both Xiao Yuan and Zhu Zhiyuan were curious about what is so special about this bead, but Wang Ding really couldn't answer their doubts for the time being.

"I'll tell you this after I study it." Said, Wang Ding picked up the three-legged golden toad and went to his room.

Wang Ding decided to buy this treasure after absorbing the aura in the beads at the show.

At the moment, there was no one around, so Wang Ding opened the perspective.

After filtering, Wang Ding found that the bead held in Jin Chan's mouth was a nearly round bead. Wang Ding couldn't tell what shape it was, but he could see through Jin Chan's clay. The "bead" in its mouth is actually just a coat with something wrapped inside.

Wang Ding gathered his spiritual energy, continued to see through, and discovered the hidden mystery of the "beads" that Jin Chan spit out.

"I said the beads that spit out beads, how can they be so weird." Wang Ding thought with some hindsight, reached out and touched the mouth of the three-legged golden toad, and saw that most of the beads contained in the golden toad's mouth were hidden in the golden toad's body The interior, only one-third of the area, is highlighted in the air.

"Can you take it out?" Wang Ding frowned slightly, and flicked his fingers lightly, only to feel that the bead did not move at all, and was firmly embedded in Jin Chan's mouth.In other words, if he wanted to take out the beads, he would have to break Jin Chan's mouth.

Discovering such a situation, Wang Ding couldn't help hesitating.

At this moment, he already understood why the three-legged golden toad was made of clay, and it was only baked until half-dry. It turned out that the treasure was hidden when the clay was half-soft.Then, trim it with a knife, and finally form the appearance of a golden toad spitting beads.

As long as the three-legged golden toad is not broken, the treasure hidden inside will be seamless and no one will be able to find it.The problem is that if you smash the golden toad to get the treasure now, you don't know how to explain it afterwards.

"It doesn't matter, it's fine to say that it was accidentally broken." After hesitating for a while, Wang Ding couldn't bear the temptation, looked around, and found that there was no such thing as a hammer and a hammer in the whole room.If it really fell from the air, Wang Ding would be worried again, not only the three-legged golden toad, but also the beads in the golden toad's mouth would be broken.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ding had no choice but to adopt the most stupid method, took a fruit-peeling knife, and gently poked and picked slowly on the three-legged golden toad bit by bit.The progress was very smooth. After all, after hundreds of years, the fetus of the three-legged golden toad has become very loose, and it has become a little muddy.

Wang Ding even suspected that if the knife in his hand was sharp enough, he could cut the golden toad in half with just one swing.Even now, slowly picking and picking, the mud crumbs of the golden toad also fell off with a clatter.

Soon, the head of the three-legged golden toad was easily cut open by Wang Ding, and the bead in its mouth was smoothly taken out.

"People kill chickens to get eggs, but when I come here, it's like breaking toads to get pearls." Wang Ding laughed at himself, first cleaned up the messy ground, and then carefully studied the round object in his hand with incomparable curiosity.

At this time, Wang Ding undoubtedly absorbed more aura, and the energy of the taken out aura made Wang Ding feel a rare comfort all over his body.

Look carefully, the object obtained from the golden toad's mouth is the size of an egg and round.However, it is not a perfect circle, but rather an oval shape.But this item was just taken out of Jin Chan's mouth, and it was still covered with dust, which seemed a bit overwhelming.

Wang Ding weighed it a little, took some banknotes, and gently wiped the surface of the things.Soon, all the mud and lime chips wrapped on the item were cleaned up, revealing the original appearance of the item.

Dragging a round object in his hand, Wang Ding inspected it carefully, but felt a little disappointed.

Because, with ordinary eyes, this thing is inconspicuous at all. It is gray-brown in color and has no luster at all.When touched by hand, it feels very rough, even worse than ordinary pebbles.What's the use of just having the aura that you can only feel?

The most urgent thing is to discover its goodness and its beauty, otherwise the 4 yuan will really be lost!

Wang Ding continued to see through, and suddenly a ray of light jumped out, followed by vigorous energy, and the bead-shaped object in his hand was like a floating purple cloud at this moment, so bright that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.

Such a contrast made Wang Ding amazed, but also more curious, wanting to discover the connotation of the round bead.

However, no matter how much Wang Ding studied and looked at it repeatedly, he felt that this thing was very ordinary.The only special thing is that until now, Wang Ding has not figured out what material this thing is made of.

Metal is definitely impossible. Wang Ding held it in his hand, and he couldn't feel the hardness and coldness of the metal at all.If it is a stone, it is a little light, without the weight of a stone.

It doesn't look like wood, because Wang Ding has weighed it, and the weight of the hand is much heavier than wood.

It is not gold, not stone, not wood, and it is not like pearls and jade, which are crystal smooth and full of luster.

How can I see what this bead is?

After pondering for a while, Wang Ding decided to start from the simplest. He poured a glass of water first, then picked up a piece of white gauze to soak it, wringed it half dry, and gently wiped it on the beads.

At this time, Wang Ding also noticed that the color of the beads became darker after being stained with water.However, the surface of the bead has not changed much, it is still that inconspicuous brown.

"Sure enough, it's not so easy to crack the blindfold." Wang Ding frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless.

Scratching his head and thinking for a while, Wang Ding hesitated, and suddenly dropped the beads in his hand into the cup filled with clear water.With a thud, the slightly heavy beads immediately sank to the bottom of the cup, splashing a small string of bubbles.

It was at this time that Wang Ding observed carefully.

One minute passed, and the beads lay quietly at the bottom of the cup without any change.Then, 1 minutes, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes... Time is passing, and ten minutes have passed in a blink of an eye, and the beads are still the same.

Wang Ding rubbed his slightly sore eyes, feeling a little impatient in his heart.Could it be that this thing only has aura, but isn't it a treasure?

However, he did not take out the beads and let the beads continue to soak in the clear water.Anyway, even if Wang Ding couldn't identify the material of the beads, but the texture was as hard as jade and stone, it would definitely not let the water melt.

Toot toot....

When the call came, it was Gu Si calling. Gu Si had already calculated the cost of repairing the courtyard house, which was probably within 500 million.

Wang Ding asked the other party to make a list of materials and send it to his mailbox, saying that 500 million is acceptable, and he asked Gu Si to prepare for the repair immediately.

After making the phone call, he went to the mailbox to check the building materials used for the repair, and Wang Ding ordered Zhu Zhiyuan to inquire about the price from the relevant material manufacturer. After completing these matters, Wang Ding suddenly remembered that he was doing an experiment, and quickly looked up at the cup.

"what!"

In an instant, Wang Ding found that the beads in the water had finally undergone obvious changes.

At this moment, on the surface of the bead that sank at the bottom of the cup, tiny tiny bubbles appeared, like the tiny bubbles of soap, hanging sticky around.

Seeing this situation, Wang Ding was pleasantly surprised and knew that his strategy had succeeded.No matter what substance it is, it wraps on the surface of the bead, concealing its true colors.However, after soaking in water for a long time, there will always be some clues.

This is a good start. After careful observation, Wang Ding also found that there were indeed some tiny air holes on the surface of the beads, which fully explained the existence of gaps in them.

At this time, Wang Ding really wanted to pick up the beads and peel off the layer covering the surface of the beads, but he was worried that the soaking time would not be long and thorough enough, so he had to wait patiently.

Wang Ding checked the time, another half an hour passed, and the bubbles on the surface of the beads became more and more dense.Tiny air bubbles surround the bead, making it look like one big foam.

Even, the buoyancy of these air bubbles actually lifted the beads slightly, half a centimeter above the bottom of the cup.Seeing this, Wang Ding calmed down, restrained his eagerness to try, and waited and observed slowly.

At the same time, Wang Ding used the perspective function to stare at the beads in the cup.Just like that, his gaze penetrated the air bubbles on the surface of the bead and penetrated into it.

Then, Wang Ding saw that there was a very light and thin film coat attached to the surface of the beads.This film coat is very fine and dense, completely covering the beads and concealing its real entity.

Through the gaps in the film coat, Wang Ding saw... (To be continued.)
