Pick up treasure

Wang Ding was shocked, absolutely unbelievable.

If what Qian Zhongshui said is true, then the price of this small bead of gloomy wood is probably much more expensive than red sandalwood.You must know that red sandalwood is already a high-grade wood, if it is still red sandalwood and dark wood, it will be even more expensive.

Regarding wood, Wang Ding and Xiao Changyi don't know much about it, but Li Nengqian can echo Qian Zhongshui in this field!

At this moment, Li Nengqian smiled, and couldn't help agreeing: "What Qian Lao said is very reasonable, and strictly speaking, the gloomy wood Jinshen has gone beyond the scope of wood, and should be listed as a treasure. Because It is rare in number, low in yield, non-renewable, and highly ornamental, so it has extremely high scientific research value, cultural value and economic added value, and can be called a national treasure.”

"National treasure..." Xiao Changyi suddenly shook his head and said, "I think this bead is more precious than the national treasure."

"Xiao Changyi, what you said is a bit too much. It is more precious than a national treasure..."

Mr. Qian was a little surprised, looked down at the beads in his hand, and slowly commented: "The texture is as hard as a stone. In terms of volume, it is slightly heavy and has some weight. The wood grain is fine, the whole body is dark and purple, and there is a faint fragrance. .These are all the characteristics of the dark red sandalwood. My judgment is correct. Is there any hidden secret? But it doesn’t matter, as long as you can scrape a little powder and watch the inside to verify it.”

"Can't scratch..."

In an instant, Wang Ding and Xiao Changyi spoke to dissuade them at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Qian was a little puzzled.

"Don't scratch it, it will cause bad things."

At this time, Xiao Changyi suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's not that Mr. Qian's judgment is wrong, it's just that what you said, you still misjudged. This bead is not as simple as you said."

"My dad was wrong? Impossible! My dad has studied these woods for most of his life, and it is impossible to make a wrong judgment." Qian Le is full of admiration for his father.

Besides, it wasn't just his father who said that, Li Nengqian and Uncle Li also had the same attitude.

Qian Le looked at the bead as he said that, he was taught by his father, and has been exposed to all kinds of wood since he was a child. Qian Le is also very sensitive to wood.

He took the wood from his father, weighed it first, then took out the magnifying glass to look at it for a while, and finally said affirmatively after he smelled the scent of sandalwood clearly again.

"Uncle Xiao, and this brother, I think it's the red sandalwood and gloomy wood, I can't be wrong, so Uncle Xiao, it might be you..."

"Maybe I'm wrong, right?"

"Haha" Xiao Changyi laughed out loud, making everyone unable to understand.

In fact, if Xiao Changyi hadn't seen the miraculous phenomenon of this wood, he would have agreed with Li Nenggan and Qian Lao's opinion at all, because after all, he had seen that it was red sandalwood.

However, there is something hidden in this bead, and that hidden thing is its existence beyond the national treasure. How can we not talk about it now!

"I think let's talk about it in another place. It's too noisy here, and it's not convenient for what I'm going to say next..."

Xiao Changyi made it very mysterious, and Mr. Qian and the stall owner Li couldn't understand it even more.

However, Li Nenggan's store was right next to him, and after hearing Xiao Changyi's talk about changing places, he said generously, "Then why not just go to my store. I really want to know what you have to say."

"Then Uncle Li, where is your stall?"

"Haha, my stall, wait for me to ask someone to look after it. Wait a minute!"

Li Nengqian went out after speaking, and then the remaining four people looked at the bead with complicated emotions.

For Mr. Qian, he saw that it was red sandalwood and gloomy wood. Xiao Changyi said he was wrong, he was the second monk.

As for Xiao Changyi, he looked forward to asking them to witness a miracle.

The most speechless was Wang Ding, who clearly knew what Xiao Changyi was going to say, but he still couldn't announce the answer in advance.

After 3 minutes, Li Nengqian brought back a young man who was very fair, and Li Nengqian asked him to help look after the stall.

He took Wang Ding, Xiao Changyi and his party to a nearby shop.

This store, Wang Ding imagined it was just a place to stay, but when he entered the store, he found that it was simply a manor.

First, there is a yard with a square of [-] meters. The yard is full of bonsai, many of which have classic shapes, such as ginseng, and the shape of the old man is simply weak.

There are various shapes here, such as the slender gentleman bamboo, the bejeweled Futai with a big belly, the beautiful girl, the tiger, and the kitten.

Qian Zhongshui said regretfully, "Old Li, you should have someone to inherit your huge business, but your son is unfilial and addicted to gambling. Otherwise, it would be great."

Qian Le met Li Nenggan's son, and knew that Li Delong used to be a child of good character and learning, but it was a pity that Li Nengqian was stealing women outside when Li Delong's mother saw him when he was entering university, and his mother jumped out of her temper foolishly. Upstairs, his mother passed away, and Li Delong's personality changed drastically. He lost money in gambling in China, and it was his father Li Nenggan who helped him pay off the debt. Later, Li Delong went to Macau to get rid of his father.

Macau is a big casino, and Li Nenggan lost contact with his son when he arrived there. He tried several times, including asking someone to look for him now, but all failed.

Li Nengqian shook his head. For a moment, he had the urge to cry, but he looked up at the sky and said firmly. "Yeah, it's all my own fault, and I can only blame myself."

Wang Ding saw something, but he was too embarrassed to ask right now, so he didn't say much.

It's just that Wang Ding was envious of Li Nenggan's shop like a herbal garden, and even Wang Ding had a thought in his spare time, that is, if he had such a herbal garden and planted flowers and raised dogs, how comfortable life would be.

Li Nengqian brought everyone into the house.

The area of ​​this building is also more than [-] square meters.

With three bedrooms and two halls, Li Nengqian took out two as offices and one as his own.

After taking these people to one of the offices and drinking a cup of West Lake Longjing, Li Nengqian regained his senses.

Xiao Changyi sat on the sofa, took out Wang Ding's beads, and presented them to the tea table again.

At this time, there were already several glass cups on the coffee table, Xiao Changyi saw that there were cups and water, so he didn't call Li Nenggan to prepare anything.

"Everyone, now you can take a good look at this bead, it is not that simple."

"Oh?"

Reminded by Xiao Changyi again, for a moment, Qian Lao thoughtfully, held up the red sandalwood gloomy wooden bead, and observed it more carefully.

"Old Qian, if you look at it this way, you won't see anything."

At this time, Xiao Changyi smiled, and Qian Lao was a little confused.

Li Nenggan was also anxious, and asked, "Then what do you think?"

"Is this? It happens that there are water glasses and water here. Be careful, and I will let you witness a real miracle."

"What kind of miracle can you see with a cup and water? It's so mysterious, you can't do magic, right?"

Xiao Changyi waved his hand slightly, he poured a glass of clear water briskly, and said, "Now the water glass is filled with water, now, if you put the beads in the water, you will naturally see a miracle!"

While Xiao Changyi was speaking, Wang Ding remained silent. He had seen this miraculous existence many times. In fact, he was recalling that scene in his mind and thinking about how this phenomenon occurred. How is this miracle achieved.He was not sure that Mr. Qian and Mr. Li would be able to explain this phenomenon.

Mr. Qian slowly put the beads in the water, and at the same time carefully fixed his eyes on the cup. The more mysterious the other party was, the more Mr. Qian became interested.

Qian Le felt that this was Xiao Changyi's blindfold, there was not much to see, and his mind was very peaceful.

Li Nengqian shook his head. He didn't believe that this bead could produce miracles when it was put into the water?

The bead entered the water, and in an instant, the clear water soaked the entire bead, and a bright purple air immediately floated out, rolling and surging, like a dragon baring its teeth and claws.

"What's going on here!" Originally, Li Nenggan, who was still a little careless, was stunned when he saw this situation, and he couldn't help getting up, staring intently.

With the rotation of the beads, lofty mountains, majestic passes, and middle-aged scribes appeared one by one.Through the cup, due to the refraction of the light in the water, the volume of the beads appears to be a bit larger, and the patterns on them are very clear.

Then, wisps of purple air swirled around, and Lao Tzu, who was riding a green bull, also suddenly appeared.

"I went down to Hangu Pass from the west, and the purple air came from the east..." At this time, Mr. Qian was no longer calm, his piercing eyes became very bright, and his emotions were very excited.

"Miracle, miracle, I am not dreaming."

At the same time, Li Nengqian was amazed, his face was full of shock and disbelief.

"Yeah, when I watched it for the first time, I felt like I was in a dream. That's why I deliberately kept this suspense, waiting for you to be shocked when you see it. This is a miracle!"

Xiao Changyi agreed, even though he had watched it several times, there was still a bit of obsession in his eyes.

Even Qian Le couldn't calm down.

Looking at the slowly rotating patterns in the beads, he seemed to have traveled through thousands of years of time and space, and was under Hangu Pass. Together with Yin Xi, he was waiting for the arrival of the Taoist sage with nervousness, joy and anticipation.

"I really want to be carried away by the whole picture, it's amazing. This feeling is like being in a dream, very... very comfortable.

"Yeah, this..."

Qian Lao has read countless books in his life, but he can't find a suitable word.

After a long time, Mr. Qian slowly came back to his senses, and sighed: "Sure enough, I was mistaken. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't know that this red sandalwood gloomy wooden bead has such a wonderful strange appearance." .”

"A strange treasure, definitely a strange treasure." Qian Le murmured, "This must be a legendary treasure. It is even rarer than a national treasure, and it is even more unbelievable..."

"That's right." Xiao Changyi said with a smile, "This is the inner alchemy of the three-legged golden toad who has practiced for thousands of years."

"Really?" Qian Le seemed to believe it.

"fake."

Wang Ding smiled helplessly. He knew that brother Xiao Changyi couldn't explain this phenomenon, so he deliberately made up a fantasy explanation, but this is not a fantasy novel, it should be more realistic.

"Wang Ding, it's fine if you think so. Now we don't know how the bead was formed. I think there is an explanation. It's okay to deify him."

"No!"

Wang Ding was thinking about how to explain this phenomenon just now, and said immediately: "Didn't Mr. Qian say that this is red sandalwood gloomy wood. I don't know if it was buried for thousands of years, and it was unearthed later, and was discovered by a skilled craftsman. It was carefully carved into the shape of beads, and the pattern of Lao Tzu's journey to the West was carved on the beads."

"Impossible. The patterns on the beads are obviously formed naturally. Otherwise, why would the patterns disappear after the beads surfaced?" Xiao Changyi shook his head and said, "Besides, how do you explain the floating purple air?" ?”

"That's not the purple air, but the light refracted by the beads in the water. When the beads are spinning in the water, the purple light is also shaking, as if a dragon snake is opening its teeth and claws, twisting and twisting."

After one night's research, Wang Ding almost had a thorough understanding of the red sandalwood gloomy wooden beads, and his explanation also made Xiao Changyi reflect.

Because Xiao Changyi's statement is not abrupt, and it seems to be true.

At this time, Mr. Qian and Mr. Li looked at Wang Ding one after another, and asked softly, "What about the pattern? It is indeed like what Xiao Changyi said, it doesn't look like it was carved by hand."

Wang Ding smiled and immediately explained: "As for this pattern, some of it is indeed a natural texture. However, if you observe carefully with a magnifying glass, you will find that most of the veins of these textures are formed after micro-engraving. of."

"It's just that the microcarved person is definitely a master-level craftsman. I don't know how he discovered that when the beads are soaked in water, the texture will take on the general shape of mountains, cities, and Laozi riding a bull."

Wang Ding said in admiration: "Then, this master, with his ingenuity, used his superb carving skills to modify the natural texture on the beads, and finally formed the figure we see now."

"Wang Ding, how do you know these things?" Xiao Changyi was stunned.

"Yeah, what you said is true. The pattern looks nothing like this, but when you pick up a magnifying glass, you can still find that it has been micro-engraved."

Qian Zhongshui is a master of carving with a knife, and he has a deep understanding of carving, but even so, he has not noticed the nuances just now. Wang Ding, a junior in the antique circle, can he be so good?

Qian Zhongshui looked this kid up and down, he is definitely the pillar of the future.If he hadn't only had one son under his knees, he must be accepted as a good son-in-law.

The reason why Wang Ding was able to see and explain these phenomena was not because he had studied for a long time, and finally had a sudden epiphany just now.

This is still thanks to his sharp eyesight and ability to carve, all of which allowed him to reveal this secret.

"Then isn't this a miracle? Didn't Jin Chan cultivate the inner alchemy for 3000 years?" Qian Le said to Xiao Changyi with a smile.

Xiao Changyi knew that the nephew was humoring him, so he slapped Qian Le's ass with a slap. "Believe it or not, I am Bone Bone Palm, I slapped your ass off!"

"Haha." Everyone laughed!

In fact, many things are like this. Before I understand it clearly, I think it is a miracle, a miracle, an incredible phenomenon, etc., but once I understand it, the shocking mood slowly returns to normal.

However, even so, Mr. Qian couldn't help sighing: "It's too great. The wisdom of the ancients is indeed beyond the imagination of today's people."

"Who says it's not." Li Nengqian took it seriously, nodded and admitted: "Actually, before little brother Wang Ding explained, I had the same feeling as little brother Xiao Changyi. I don't think this thing should be Immortal baby. Looking back now, I finally understand why there are so many legends about immortal deeds in ancient times."

"It makes sense." Qian Zhongshui said with a smile: "In ancient times, a lot of knowledge was not popularized and was not valued by people. When seeing such a magical thing, the first reaction was not to solve its mystery, but to enshrine it to the gods and gods. Get up. In addition, the ruler is also happy to make such a big publicity out of the need to consolidate the imperial power and increase the majesty."

"That's why, Xiao Changyi, you have spent more than ten years of reading in vain, and your ideological realm is actually on the same level as the ignorant people in ancient times." At this time, Qian Zhongshui took the opportunity to teach: "Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Ah! You old man is not happy because you saw that I hit your son with the palm of the bone, and now I am shabby, but then again, you don't see the same thing, I brought my brother here today to call Look at this baby, but you..."

Xiao Changyi was also making fun of Qian Zhongshui. After everyone bickered like this, the atmosphere really became lively.

"By the way, I still want to ask, why did you say, Uncle Xiao, that this is the inner alchemy that Jin Chan has practiced for 3000 years, and not something else?"

"This, this, you have to ask your brother Wang Ding carefully. When you know how this kid bought such a miraculous bead under my nose, you will have to admire him."

Qian Le was really interested, tilting his head and asked, "Brother Wang Ding, how did you get this bead? Could it be Jin Chan...?"

Qian Le is also very smart, since Xiao Changyi said so, Qian Le can be expected to have something to do with Jin Chan.

Wang Ding replied lightly, "Yes, this bead is in Jin Chan's mouth. I bought him in an appreciation program. But I didn't know that this bead is so magical at the time, so I can only say it was a coincidence! "

"No no." Xiao Changyi denied, "This is the second time he has picked up a leak, at least the second time I know of it, and the leaks he picked up are more precious every time. Now, it's even more outrageous. A wonderful treasure like the red sandalwood gloomy wooden bead can also be picked up. Tell me in front of me!"

"Brother Wang Ding, no, my nephew is really amazing, I am ashamed of myself, Qian Le, you must communicate with Wang Ding more in the future. I think you have to learn from him in this regard." (unfinished to be continued.)
