Seeing Chu Chen's joyful appearance, Liu Sizhe quickly asked, "brother Chen, what's the difference in this needle? Can you tell us about it?"
Chuchen mysterious smile, said: "if I guess correctly, this should be a key."
"The key? What kind of lock can such a small thing open? " With that, Liu Sizhe looked at the thin needle again. He couldn't imagine what kind of lock such a small key could open.
Chuchen said with a smile, "what else can I do with the lock? The lock on this statue of Buddha!"
After listening to Chu Chen's words, everyone was not surprised. They all looked at the Buddha statue, but after looking around, they didn't see where the lock was.
"Brother Chu, please tell us where the lock is." Dong Pang said eagerly.
Chuchen turned over the Buddha statue with a smile, pointed to the cover under it and said, "here, this is the lock."
"No? There's no keyhole! " Dong fatty looked at the cover carefully, some Lengshen said.
Chuchen said with a smile, "isn't it covered with a layer of paint! If I read it correctly, this cover should have been installed later. I think it should have been installed in the early and middle Qing Dynasty. "
"I thought that this was the former owner. After he got this thing, he opened the light again. Because he wanted to store it, he installed a cover. It seems that the matter is not so simple."
Hearing this, Liu Sizhe couldn't wait to say: "brother Chen, what are you waiting for? Open it quickly and see what's inside!"
Chuchen said with a smile: "you have to ask the owner of the Buddha about this. Lao Yu, if you want to find the keyhole later, you have to remove the paint on the cover. But after all, it's only my personal guess. Maybe the result is different from my guess, and it's not certain."
From just now to now, Lao Yu's spirit has been in a trance. He never thought that this thing that looks like an embroidery needle would be a key, but the corresponding one is his own Buddha statue.
This made him feel incredible and excited. If there were any rare treasures hidden in it, he would not have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life?
Therefore, Lao Yu agreed immediately when he heard what Chu Chen said. As for Chu Chen's idea that he might make a mistake, he never even thought about it. Chu Chen was Liu's close disciple. How could he make a mistake?
When Chu Chen saw that Lao Yu agreed, he asked Wang Xiaoyue for a knife. Then he took the statue upside down in his hand and began to scratch it gently.
As the paint on the cover was slowly removed by Chu Chen, you can obviously see the square crack in the middle of the cover.
Seeing this, Dong said, "Gee! It's true! But why don't you see where the keyhole is? "
Liu Sizhe was not angry and said: "I said fat man, can you not be so anxious, don't you see that there are still some places on the cover where the paint hasn't been removed?"
Dong chubby chuckled and said, "I don't want to see what's inside quickly."
Chuchen smiles and ignores them. He carefully scrapes off the paint. After a while, a pinhole appears on the left side of the crack. Needless to say, it should be the "keyhole".
"Come on, I'll see what's inside!"
Then Chu Chen picked up the needle and cleaned up some gelatin like substances on it. These substances should play a role in preventing the needle from rusting. When he cleared those materials, he slowly inserted the "key" into the small hole in people's expectant eyes.
The depth of the small hole is not long. It's almost half the distance of the thin needle. It's at the end, but the mechanism hasn't responded at this time. Chu Chen was not surprised when he saw this. This kind of "belly hall" with its own key was different from the previous one. It was necessary to turn the "key" to the right position to open the mechanism.
So he carefully began to gently rotate the thin needle, and so on a third of a turn, only to hear a "pa", the middle of the square board was bounced out.
Chuchen gently smiles at everyone, and then carefully dumps the contents on the table. What he sees is a small piece, which is wrapped in yellow silk and looks like a seal. It catches everyone's eyes.
Everyone was disappointed to see that it might be a seal, but on second thought, it's not that there are no rare treasures in the seal. If it's the emperor's imperial seal, it's too bad.
Thinking of this, Lao Yu's hands trembled slightly and opened the silk. A golden square seal immediately came into everyone's eyes. The seal looks golden in color, moist and condensed in texture, delicate, transparent and beautiful. When carefully examined, it seems to be emitting a golden light.
"The best Tianhuang jelly!" Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe cried out in unison.
If Tianhuang is the king of the stones, Tianhuang jelly is the king of the stones. It is the treasure that many scholars and collectors dream of. Tianhuang jelly is rare, and the best Tianhuang jelly is even less. How can chuchen and Liu Sizhe not be surprised?When you see such a good seal, you are very eager to appreciate it. However, there are so many people with just one seal. The typical one is that there are too many monks and too few people.
Old Yu ha ha a smile, way: "Mr. Chu, you first please!"
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Chu Chen hugged everyone, then wiped his hands carefully, and then carefully picked up the seal and looked at it carefully.
As Chu Chen picked up the seal, we first noticed that there was no lettering under the seal. In short, it was an embryo of the seal, which disappointed Lao Yu.
However, Lao Yu is also an old man. He soon changed his mood. He was very lucky to get such an excellent Tian Huang frozen Zhang embryo. Now that he has picked up the big leak, what's more unsatisfied?
This seal is made of frozen Tianhuang. As soon as it enters the hand, Chu Chen can't help but praise it. The stone of Tianhuang is solid, glossy, and smooth. It may be because there is hot spring soaking when it is buried, and it has a gentle feeling when it is started. The stone is moist, and it is suitable to touch the hand. It is as soft and lovely as a baby's skin.
On close observation, the unique radish silk pattern of tianhuangshi is indistinct in the texture of the stone. The radish silk pattern is clear and transparent, and the bright yellow color is incomparably beautiful, which seems to be born with the spirit of emperor. Moreover, the seal is very delicate, with the naked eye or general magnifying glass can not see its composition particles, it can be described as delicate and neat.
In addition, with careful taste, there seems to be aura in the stone, as if the light of life is flashing. It's introverted and reserved. It's like not eating fireworks. It makes people feel very ethereal.
The seal is engraved with carved buttons of fish and dragon playing in the water. The buttons are all exquisite. The head of the dragon and the body of the fish occupy the whole end of the button, which is magnificent and vivid. Its mouth spits out springs, turns into clouds, and covers with rain. It leads the little dragon to play in the water, and the fish and the Dragon make trouble in the sea. The water pattern is exquisite, but it is like the strong wind taking advantage of the situation to help the surge and the waves, showing the atmosphere between the square inches.
The shape, layout and decoration of the whole stone are all ingenious. It has both spirit and form, and is quite ingenious. It perfectly shows the heroism and momentum of dragon swimming in the water. Without deep skill, it can't carve this kind of artistic conception.
This square Tianhuang is fine, clean, moistening, greasy, warm and congealing. It has six virtues. It is regular in shape, huge in shape and exquisite in carving. It can be said that it is the best seal of Tianhuang.
Finally, Chu Chen asked Wang Xiaoyue for a ruler and measured it. It was 3cm in length and 5cm in width and 5.8cm in height. The output of Tianhuang stone is rare, and most of them are small pieces, which are extremely rare. What's more, they are the best of Tianhuang frozen. It's extremely rare to have such a huge Tianhuang frozen carved square seal.
Next, everyone watched the seal in turn, and they all admired it. Everyone wanted to take it as their own.
Chu Chen said to Lao Yu with a smile: "Lao Yu, I don't know what you want to do with this seal? Can you give up
"This..."
Old Yu pondered for a while, and he liked the seal very much. After all, this kind of high-quality Tianhuang jelly is a rare thing, but if you want to say that he can't put it down, it won't be.
After all, his main collection is only Buddha statues, and he is not a scholar, and he has no habit of using seals. As a result, he had to know more about the seal.
Thinking of this, he said: "Mr. Chu, if it wasn't for you today, I wouldn't have such an unexpected harvest. Since you like it, let it be for you!"
Chuchen was very happy to hear Lao Yu's promise and repeatedly expressed his thanks to him.
"Brother Chen, it's true that the people who see it have a share. I also want this seal. What should I do?" Liu Sizhe said with a bitter face.
Chuchen said with a smile, "what should I do? Salad! Just one seal, can it be divided into two? Or do you want to bid with me? "
Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "if you don't say I can't compete with you, I'll bid with you. That's not hurting our friendship! I think so. Brother Chen, you are so lucky. When you get the best Tianhuang, can you give it to me? "
Chu Chen speechless way: "do you think this kind of best Tianhuang jelly is Chinese cabbage, want to have?"
Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I know this kind of tianhuangshi is very rare, but I want to take brother Chen's luck. I'm sure you'll meet it in the future. Then, you can give it to me again."
Chu Chen shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "OK, I'll write you a blank check first. When I meet Tianhuang like this in the future, I'll give it to you."
Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "thank you, brother Chen!"
"We want it, too!" Dong Pang, they all yelled in unison.
Chu Chen said: "OK! Then all of you will have a share! "
