Chapter 130 Five Unexpected Disasters

Chapter 130 Five Unexpected Disasters

Liu Jing holds a silver hammer in his hand that is as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. If the hammer goes down, it will be related to whether his life can be preserved. His parents named him Liu Jing because he can carry forward the ability of carving jade for generations. There is nothing in the eye-catching stone, even after death, it will become a laughing stock in others' mouths.Liu Jing looked at the crowd of spectators all around, and the four sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren behind him were all looking at him at this time.Three of the four sons opposed their quarrying, and only their wife and youngest son Liu Chengyu have always supported it.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and now Liu Jin suddenly feels a little bit of fear.Holding the silver hammer, the man stood like a log for more than half an hour, and there were too many worries in his heart that made him unable to strike.Some of the spectators around started to complain.

"Uh, Uncle, it's not a problem if you always stick around like this. We came all the way from Datong Mansion, Shanxi. Do you think this is for you? Isn't it all for you? Liu Jing came from the name of Chang’an City. Uncle, you have been standing for a long time. Seeing that the sun is getting more and more poisonous, why don’t you open the stone? This is not authentic. It's over." Liu Jing turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke, he was a thin middle-aged man dressed in brocade silk, and he knew without looking that he was a Shanxi businessman who had exploded.Liu Jing felt even more uncomfortable being provoked by the words of the Shanxi people. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet with the silver hammer and chisel in his hand, and hit the big stone...

The silver chisel is the guy that craftsmen eat, not the guy who cuts the stone. The chisel curls the edge of the big rock without cutting it.Liu Jing's youngest son, Liu Chengyu, knew that his father wanted to use the ancestral silverware to imbue him with blessings, but right now the stone was not cut open, everything was just wishful thinking.Liu Chengyu served Liu Jing a bowl of herbal tea and asked three or four stonemasons to replace Liu Jing. He looked at the old man himself, fearing that the old man would commit suicide if nothing came out of the stone.

The stonemasons in Jianning Mansion are all capable, "Hey, hey, hey..." Three or four young men chiseled half a stone with less than a stick of incense, and the inside of the stone was really real. There is nothing but half a stone left.The mountain chisel in the young man's hand was still busy, and now not only Liu Jing was nervous, but thousands of people were present with their hearts hanging out.They are all here to see the baby, if they came here for nothing, it would be a wrong.From the halfway up the mountain to the two sides of the rock, people are constantly pouring in like a tide. Those who come early may still be lucky enough to see the rock, and the people behind can still listen to what the people in front say. One can only guess on one's own...

The sound of the young man chiseling the stone suddenly stopped suddenly, and all the stonemasons let out a sigh.Liu Jing left the stonemason in front of him and rushed over, only to hear Liu Jing shouting and standing in front of the stone like a wooden stake.After a while Liu Jing started laughing wildly, and when the laughing was over, he burst into tears again.The spectators were taken aback by Liu Jing's strange behavior, and there was even more discussion among the crowd...

"It's over, it's over, Liu Jin, who didn't get out the jade stone, is crazy. We made a trip in vain, and a jade craftsman who is doing well is going crazy."

"Hehe, thousands of taels of silver are in vain, as I said earlier, how can it be so easy to find the treasure."

The Shanxi man yelled at the people next to him: "What are you doing, what are you doing? Then what is this for? You only know that your feet are muddy when you pull your legs. What are you talking about?"

Liu Jin turned around and shouted, "Oh my God, it's a tourmaline. I... I... have never seen such a big tourmaline."

Liu Jing's shout made everyone understand that there is really a treasure in the big stone.But not many people know about tourmaline.Tourmalines in the Western Han Dynasty are not as famous as Hetian jade, jadeite, and amber.Tourmalines are mostly produced in Ceylon, and only the royal relatives in the palace wear tourmalines. Tourmalines can absorb sunlight and emit various dazzling brilliance.Ordinary tourmalines can reflect seven different colors of luster when they see light, but the tourmaline that Liu Jing saw in Datiaoshi can reflect thirteen kinds of luster.Among Buddhists and Taoists, tourmaline is also highly respected. Using tourmaline can ward off evil spirits and extradite the dead to ascend to heaven and become immortals.

Little by little, Liu Jing extracted the tourmaline from the boulders. Several young stonemasons had never seen such a radiant gemstone.Liu Jing was busy from the morning until the sunset on the western mountain before peeling off the tourmaline stone. He held the cone-shaped light yellow translucent tourmaline stone in his hand, and it was even more dazzling and gorgeous under the afterglow of the setting sun.Hu Xiaoyan had been watching Liu Jing mining tourmaline, all the onlookers surrounded him all at once, wanting to see this rare treasure with their own eyes.

"Uncle, it's the first time I've seen this baby in my mother's womb, why is it so beautiful. Uncle, I want to buy this piece of jade...tourmaline stone from you. 5000 is not enough? Not enough, uncle just Open your mouth and say the number." Shanxi merchants from Shanxi were willing to pay 5000 taels for the tourmaline stone in Liu Jing's hands, and the crowd burst into exclamation.

A cold voice came from behind the Shanxi guy: "No matter how much that Shanxi guy pays, I pay double."

"1 taels of silver, 1 taels of silver... just to buy a stone. 1 taels are enough for my family to live and live for dozens of generations."

"Look, Shanxi people are good at saving face. If that person offers 1 taels, the Shanxi people will definitely increase the price."

"Add more? They're all crazy..."

"Uh...uh, the amount is 5 taels." The Shanxi man blushed and said angrily.When the spectators heard that people from Shanxi paid 5 taels, a few timid spectators were suddenly stunned.

"10 taels. From Shanxi, I think you are looking for death, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth." The still cold voice said calmly.

If 10 taels of silver is pulled by a donkey cart, it will take more than a dozen carts. If you see the first one, it is absolutely difficult to see the last one.The Shanxi native didn't expect to encounter a difficult problem here, and was about to ask for a price but was stopped by Liu Jing.

"Two, two, stop arguing. I won't sell this tourmaline." Liu Jing's words shocked everyone in the audience. He would not sell a stone for 10 taels of silver.The spectators felt that Liu Jing's head was kicked by a donkey, and no one could understand why Liu Jing had gone through untold hardships for nine years in Undead Mountain.

Liu Jing took the tourmaline back to the residence of Jianning Mansion, and several sons were also sent back home by Liu Jing, and the bustling Hu Xiaoyan gradually subsided.The uncut tourmaline that was mined was polished by Liu Jing for three days and became more and more flawless. During these three days, Liu Jing almost fell asleep bouldering.In my dreams, I would often be woken up by laughing. My wife said that he was stupid and didn’t want 10 taels of silver, and that holding a stone was not enough for food or clothes.

Liu Jing laughed back and said, "I'm not stupid, think about it, old lady. If I take the 10 taels of silver, among the four sons, three of them will be lazy and work hard. When the money is spent, the old bank will also forget. What else can they use to make ends meet? As long as they can take care of this stone, it is worth more than 10 taels of silver, it is a priceless treasure."

"Hehe. So old man, you have already planned. I thought you were a fool. Xiaosi and you have the same temper. These days, I have been wandering around in the mountains and said that I want to find a stone like this." My wife laughed.

While the two old men were chatting, Liu Jin and my house were suddenly broken into by a group of soldiers in iron armor.Liu Jing hurriedly came out and scolded: "What do you guys want to do in the open sky? Is there any law?"

"Liu Jing, we met again. Giving you 10 taels of silver is flattering you, because you are ignorant of current affairs!" Liu Jing knew from the cold voice that he spent money to buy his own stone three days ago People, but now they look like generals in silver helmets and bright armor.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"I'm Feng Dakun, general of Liu Xu's family, Li Wang of Guangling. I was ordered by the young master Liu Ba to buy your stones. But now it's different. Liu Jin, do you want to keep the stones or their heads? Bring them all to me. With a big wave of the general's hand, the sergeants pushed and shoved in a group of people whose hands and feet were bound from outside the door.Liu Jing saw that Liu Chengyu, the youngest son who had not yet married, was not among them, and all three sons and their families were here.

Liu Jing said angrily; "You...you are so despicable!"

"I've already said, do you want to keep stones or their heads? Come on, cut off those children first." The soldiers framed several grandchildren of Liu Jin like wolves. When he came out, the family members wept and watched as the child was about to be killed by the knife.

"Stop it, I'm willing to offer tourmaline stones, you let them all go." Liu Jing shouted.

"Haha, Liu Jing, do you think this is Chang'an, the imperial capital? You are famous in Chang'an, but here you are nothing." The wife behind Liu Jing was dragged to the courtyard by the soldiers, and the whole family cried.

"General Feng, I have already agreed to donate stones, why are you still being aggressive." Liu Jin knelt down and begged in tears.

Feng Dakun said in a strange way: "Everyone says that you, Liu Jin, are a skilled jade craftsman. Now that King Guangling is building the Han Tomb, he wants to invite you. The fate of these people depends on your words."

People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Liu Jin is now tired of being famous, and sighed: "Okay, I will go with you." Liu Jin was taken away by the soldiers with his tourmaline stone. After Jin walked away, Feng Dakun gave the soldier a look.More than a dozen people in the courtyard were slaughtered, from children under three years old to Liu Jin's wife, and none were spared. Before leaving, the soldiers set a big fire...

When Liu Jing was brought to Guangling, he was imprisoned in the dark side room of Hanling. A few days later, Liu Ba took a blueprint full of runes and handed it to Liu Jing. Liu Jing knew it was a beggar. Day payment.After the death of Guangling King Liu Xu, he wanted his tourmaline stone to become a road to the sky. Liu Jing could only carve tourmaline stone under the supervision of soldiers every day during the day.At dusk, the tourmaline stones would be taken away by soldiers, and this ear room is where Liu Jing can walk.If you take a step out of the ear chamber, you will be beaten violently by the soldiers.After three months of this kind of life, Liu Jing's life changed only after another person was imprisoned in the ear room...
