Chapter 49: Magic Calcite

Chapter 49: Divine Skills for Solving Stones

Stone? Tong Mao laughed wildly: "You still want to lay the stone, you really can't see the coffin without crying!"

The most intuitive way to prove whether a piece of stone is valuable is to untie the stone skin and see what it contains.

However, in the face of this sleeping baby stone, if Yang Teng insisted that it was worth five million taels of silver from an ornamental point of view, this almost rascal method really made Tong Mao a little difficult to handle.

There are many factors for the price of a piece of stone. The reference price given by the appraiser largely determines the final price of this piece of stone.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the seller insists on a high price, just like this sleeping baby stone. All appraisers believe that this stone is worthless, but Kistler Xuan still set the high price of 500,000 taels of silver and refused to relax.

Yang Teng bought this sleeping baby stone, and then sold it to others at a sky-high price of five million taels of silver. Tong Mao couldn't just say that this sleeping baby stone was not worth five million taels of silver. After all, this was the transaction price. Price.

So after agreeing to Yang Teng's bet, Tong Mao immediately regretted it, fearing that Yang Teng would join hands with others to play with him.

Hearing that Yang Teng wanted to solve the stone to determine the value, Tong Mao felt very relaxed.

If this sleeping baby stone really contains good things worth five million taels of silver, it would prove that the appraisers who have previously identified this stone are blind!

Obviously such a thing cannot happen.

Tong Mao was full of confidence, "Yang Teng, we have something to say first. After you untie the stone skin, if there is no good thing in it, you are not allowed to shame."

Yang Teng laughed: "Don't worry, I am not as shameless as you!"

Li Guan hurriedly finished the round, "The shopkeeper, Master Jieshi, please come over and Jieshi quickly."

There was such a big noise in the Kishishi Xuan that even pedestrians outside were attracted in, and the first floor of the Kishishi Xuan was crowded, and the shopkeeper finally squeezed out to find the Master Jieshi.

The master of Qishixuan Jieshi is an old man in his sixties, holding a black knife in his hand.

"Master, can you start now." The shopkeeper was sweating profusely and asked Li Guan for instructions.

Li Guan didn't dare to call the shots and looked at Yang Teng.

Yang Teng nodded, "Go ahead."

In order to be more intuitive, the shopkeeper ordered a table to be placed in the middle of the crowd, and the sleeping baby stone was placed on the table.

Seeing that this piece was placed in the Kishishi Pavilion for fifty years, it was regarded as a strange stone among the strange stones, and the master Jieshi was also a little agitated.

Analyzing stone is a highly skilled craft that cannot be learned by ordinary people. It requires a high level of cultivation and many years of experience. It requires calcite masters to be very familiar with all kinds of stones, only familiar with the attributes of each stone, and roughly judge. Only the things conceived inside can be cut accurately.

Otherwise, if you cut it down and destroy the good things inside, the value will shrink.

The safest way to dissolve the stone is to peel off the stone skin layer by layer, keeping it to the thinnest every time, so as not to harm the contents inside.

Master Jie Shi didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to untie the sleeping baby stone with his own hands and observe it several times before and after he decided to start with the head of the sleeping baby stone.

Under the gaze of everyone, Master Jie Shi took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, raised his powerful hand, and the black knife hit the stone part of the sleeping baby with a knife.

To some extent, a master of stone calcite is a master of swordsmanship.

Of course, this kind of knife skill of Master Jieshi may not be useful in combat.

"Puff!" With a slight sound, everyone saw a flash of light in front of them, and the head of the sleeping baby stone was peeled off a thin layer.

The stone skin fell off, and the exposed part remained unchanged, still so crystal clear.

Tong Mao looked confident with his hands upside down, with a smile on his face, but he was indeed too ugly, and laughter was better than crying and couldn't see where he went.

"I said that there is nothing in this stone. How many appraisal masters have said that this stone is worthless. What did Yang Teng think about it, and actually said it contains good things." Someone in the crowd said .

Tong Mao was even more proud, and the stone peeled off with this knife, and Yang Teng just couldn't regret it anymore.

Master Jie Shi raised his head and glanced at Yang Teng.

According to the rules, every time you untie a layer of stone skin, you must get the buyer's permission if you want to continue to lay the stone.

"Go on, as long as I don't speak, you can continue to lay the stone without stopping." Yang Teng said indifferently.

With Yang Teng's words, Master Jie Shi was full of confidence, and the black knife was raised and dropped, and a layer of stone skin peeled off the sleeping baby stone.

Everyone stared at it, and some people expected a miracle.

Not everyone believes the results of the appraiser's appraisal, after all, through the thick stone skin, who can see through the inside of the stone.

Master Jie Shi paused, but did not hear Yang Teng call to stop, but raised his hand with another knife.

The third layer of stone skin was peeled off.

"It's over, this piece is a waste rock. If you don't untie it, it can still be used for viewing. Now it's really worthless. No one wants to give it away." Someone sighed.

Solve the stone, three swords will set life and death.

There is no result after the two cuts. The third cut is the last cut. If the third cut still yields nothing, there is no need to continue smashing the stone. This stone can be declared as waste stone directly.

"Yang Teng, what do you have to say!" Tong Mao looked at Yang Teng triumphantly, and he knew this was the result.

Everyone also looked at Yang Teng. Now that the matter is up, Yang Teng should give up.

Although it was okay to know that Yang Teng lost, at most 500,000 taels of silver, Zhao Yilin still felt a little uncomfortable, and she really hoped that Yang Teng would win.

Yang Teng didn't care, "Ugly ghost, do you think you are sure to win?"

Tong Mao was happy in his heart and didn't care about Yang Teng calling him an ugly ghost, "Why, there is nothing to gain from three swords, don't you admit defeat!"

Yang Teng looked at Tong Mao strangely, "Ugly ghost, whoever stipulates that three swords must surrender, what kind of truth is this!"

"You still quibble!" Tong Mao was angry. This is the default rule for appraising jieshi. Although no one said that it must be three knives to decide the victory or defeat, the business of Qishi has been like this since ancient times.

It's not that you can't continue to lay the stone, but after three knives, the inside of the stone is basically in front of you, there is no need to continue.

"I knew you would not admit defeat!" Tong Mao pointed at Yang Teng and shouted, "In front of so many people, you can never deny you today."

"I deny your size!" Yang Teng strode forward and said to Master Lishi: "Excuse me, Master, let me use your Lilith knife."

Master Jie Shi looked at Yang Teng in a puzzled way. What did he want to Jie Shi Dao for? Isn't he reconciled to continue to solve the stone? Does he know how to solve stone?

Doubts and doubts, Master Jieshi still lent the black knife to Yang Teng.

"Ugly ghost, you are optimistic, let you open your eyes today!" Yang Teng raised the knife and fell.

"What is this kid doing! How can there be such a calcite!" There are many people in the crowd who have seen calcite before, but they saw Yang Teng's stab and the action of calcite was clearly slashed.

"Kacha!" After the crisp sound, the sleeping baby stone was chopped in half by Yang Teng, and the neck was broken.

Tong Mao was also stunned. Could it be that Yang Teng wanted to destroy this stone in a rage, it would be best!

Now it seems that the sleeping baby stone is really destroyed. From the fracture surface, no matter the color or texture inside, it is consistent with the appearance and has no value at all.

"Yang Teng, don't be impulsive." Zhao Yilin greeted Yang Teng loudly. Yang Teng even sneered at Tong Mao holding a black stone knife. Zhao Yilin worried that Yang Teng would become angry and do stupid things.

Such a trivial matter is not enough to turn around, I hope Yang Teng can restrain it.

Tong Mao was a little scared at this time. He was good at identifying stones. Fighting was not his strong point. Facing Yang Teng, he had no confidence.

After second thoughts, it was wrong, this is Qi Shi Xuan, when is Yang Teng's turn to go wild.

"Yang Teng! What are you going to do! If you can't lose, don't say anything! Do you want to do it? Let's see where this is." Tong Mao shouted, threatening Yang Teng while emboldening himself.

"Do it?" Yang Teng laughed loudly: "You are also worthy of letting me take the shot! Open your eyes and watch!"

With that, Yang Teng raised his hand with a knife.

"Puff!" Half of the sleeping baby stone was cut off again.

The part that was cut off this time was the waist.

Now, the Sleeping Baby Stone is divided into three parts. Yang Teng's head is pushed to the ground, and then he waved his hand to push away the parts below the waist. Only the front chest and stomach parts from below the neck to above the waist are left on the tabletop.

What do you mean? Could it be that the good thing Yang Teng has always insisted is in the belly of Sleeping Baby Stone?

No one dared to talk nonsense. Judging from Yang Teng's decisive action and calm expression, there might be something good.

Tong Mao didn't take it seriously. He cut off the sleeping baby stones at the upper and lower ends, leaving only a palm-sized piece. Such a small piece of stone, even if there is something bred in it, is not a big piece. It is totally impossible to be worth five million taels of silver.

After all, the layers of stone skin have to be peeled off, and the contents inside are even smaller.

"Swish!" Yang Teng didn't make everyone wait for a long time. After breathing smoothly, he raised his hand with a knife.

A black light flashed, and a layer of gemstone skin peeled off.

"Yeah!" The stone interpreter exclaimed.

As the so-called expert is in the doorway, he has been sculpting stones for many years and is very familiar with this craft.

Yang Teng slashed down, and the peeled stone skin was thin, but it was very different from the stone skin he had removed.

The stone skin removed by the master slab is broken. This is because the shape of the sleeping baby stone is irregular and cannot be used horizontally.

The stone skin that Yang Teng unwrapped perfectly followed the shape of the sleeping baby stone. There was no trace of damage. It looked like a layer of skin was really peeled off the sleeping baby stone!

Such a magical ability alone made Master Jieshi admire the five-body cast.

If you don't look at Yang Teng's face, you think he is a master who is proficient in calcite, and he can't do it without hundreds of years of skill!

Tong Mao was also moved. As an appraiser, he was also very proficient in jieshi. He believed that he could not do Yang Teng's.

This is too demanding for stone makers. The stone is fragile and the arc is irregular. How did Yang Teng do it!
