Chapter 256: Exquisite Trap Box

After getting the wooden box, Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask: "Xiaohu, is there anything special about this wooden box?"

He didn't believe that Populus euphratica was interested in the object just because it was interesting. According to his understanding of Populus euphratica, it is probably not that simple, right?

This is a cube box larger than an ordinary Rubik's cube, with six sides, each of which is divided into dozens of small pieces, which looks dense and complex. People with a phobia of density certainly don't like such things.

There are many small squares, all with carved patterns.

Zhou Xing also looked at this item, but found that the material was very ordinary, so he didn't bother to get it.

The main thing is that I feel that there is nothing inside, otherwise I have to unravel it and see if the items inside are valuable treasures. Even, even if you can't untie it, you have to smash it if you smash it, and check what is inside.

Unfortunately, according to their analysis, this box should be an empty box.

"Hehe! The carving on this is still quite good, but the puzzle is a bit troublesome, I don't know what its whole is like at all, there is no reference, it is difficult to spell. Zhou Xing said with a smile.

After all, it's an item from your own auction house, no matter how bad it is, you have to praise it, right?

The old audience in the live broadcast room also didn't believe that Brother Hu was interested in an ordinary box. That box should have something special that others can't see!

"I think there should be a treasure inside. "Someone is going to say that again.

Everyone else in the live broadcast room was powerless to complain, do you really think that Brother Hu has a clairing eye?

Hu Yang played with the mechanism box and said with a smile: "It's quite an interesting box, just this mechanism, it is definitely an ancient precision mechanism, very rare." ”

Compared to today's machinery, it's really nothing, but at the level of ancient science, it's quite remarkable.

"What else?" Zhao Xin asked.

"There is also the carving that Brother Zhou said, and you will know when you spell it out. Hu Yang responded.

After saying that, he began to put it together without anyone else, moving the small squares on six sides, and working according to the pattern in his mind.

The others didn't make a sound to disturb, just quietly looked at Hu Yanglong.

Although I don't know what fascinates Populus euphratica, I am very curious to see him so serious.

After fighting for a while, Hu Yang himself was a little dazzled, and when he stopped, Hu Yang couldn't help frowning.

"It's hard, isn't it? Don't rush, take your time. Zhou Xing said with a smile.

If it wasn't difficult, their auction house would have been opened a long time ago, so why would it still be there until now? Aren't the people in their auction house curious? Don't you want to spell it out and open it?

At this moment, Populus euphratica pressed a small square in the middle and slowly pressed it down with his fingernails.

Just now, he couldn't help but look at the structure inside again with his perspective eyes. He found that the small square in the middle of each side could not be moved, but could only be pressed in or popped out.

As soon as he pressed it in, a mechanical sound came from the small wooden box.

Not to mention Andy and others present, even the people in the live broadcast room also heard a little movement. After all, Brother Hu's live broadcast equipment is very advanced, not only the picture is clear, but the sound can also be captured very well.

Hu Yang didn't care about the surprised expressions of others, and continued to face the other five faces, repeating the action just now.

Waiting for the middle piece of the six sides to be pressed in, at this time, everyone had ghost-like expressions. I saw that the six small squares were arranged by themselves, and in just a few seconds, the complete pattern of each side was displayed in front of everyone.

"Damn, is it so advanced?"

"I thought there was a complex mechanical system in it, amazing!"

"Based on this, I feel that 10,000 yuan is definitely worth it. ”

"Indeed, it turns out that the small square in the middle of each side is the key, and it is also where the mechanism lies, and Brother Hu is smart. ”

......

Zhao Xin looked at the stunned Zhou Xing with disdain: "This is what you said is difficult?"

Zhou Xing saw the pattern on each side, and it was like six paintings! The length is magnificent, and it looks so familiar.

"This is, "Qingming Riverside Map"?" Zhou Xing's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"?

The audience in the live broadcast room was also taken aback by Zhou Xing's voice.

Of course, they also know that one of the top ten ancient paintings is very precious, and the works of Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty are mainly the natural scenery and prosperity of Bianjing and the banks of the Bianhe River.

It was a folk custom at that time to go to the river during the Qingming Festival, like today's festival gatherings, through which people participated in commercial activities. The whole map is roughly divided into three parts: the spring light in the suburbs of Bianjing, the scene of the Bianhe River, and the market in the city.

Hu Yang shook his head: "It can only be said to be a partial picture of "Qingming Riverside Picture", so I guess that there is more than one such box, there must be others, but I don't know where it is, or whether it is damaged." ”

The box in front of me, with a carved picture on six sides, is just a scene from a street market.

If you're serious, you'll see a tall castle tower as the center, with houses lined up on both sides, including teahouses, sake shops, foot shops, butcher shops, and so on.

Some of the characters in it are too small, and Zhou Xing can only see them clearly with a magnifying glass.

Still, under a magnifying glass, the characters are vividly carved. This is a very elaborate carving, and it is a miracle that it has been carved so meticulously without a magnifying glass before.

Even if it was a partial picture, Zhou Xing was shocked.

You must know that the Qingming Riverside map, even if it is painted on paper, is twenty or thirty centimeters wide and four or five meters long. Now, part of it is condensed in this six-sided box. This kind of kung fu is not a simple combination of painting ability and carving skills.

This engraving, like the picture of the original, is almost a miniature version.

One side was opened, and sure enough, there was nothing inside, it was empty. Moreover, the capacity in the box is very small, and it is estimated that it can only hold about one table tennis ball.

"This miniature sculpture is amazing, and I don't know whose work it is. Zhou Xing sighed.

Micro-carving is the most delicate and tiny handicraft in traditional Chinese arts and crafts, is a collection of Chinese cultural essence of the pocket artwork, is a branch of carving techniques.

It can even be carved on ivory slices the size of rice grains, bamboo slices or several millimeters of hair, and its works can only be seen with a magnifying glass or microscope, so it has been called a "stunt" by successive dynasties.

You know, the construction is very small, without a fairly high micro carving skills and calligraphy skills and skilled use of micro carving tools skills are difficult to complete, and when carving, to hold your breath, concentrate, meticulous.

The master of miniature carving reminded him of many people, such as Wang Yi, a native of Jiangsu in the Ming Dynasty.

He is good at miniature carving, and can carve fine palace pavilion utensils, people, birds, beasts, wood and stones on a one-inch size wood, all of which follow the situation and have their own moods.

Ming Wei Zijing's "Nuclear Boat Record" recorded that he carved "the story of the east slope boating red cliff" on the core of the fruit that was not full of inches. Although this authentic relic has not been seen today, this deed has been widely spread in the folk cultural relics circle.

The hardcore audience in the live broadcast room was happy for Brother Hu, and it was as they expected: what Brother Hu liked was not ordinary.

Although I don't know if it's worth the money, just the performance of the organ just now, and the miniature carving picture that now makes the auction house appraiser Zhou Xing sigh, is enough to make people breathtaking.

"Brother Hu, how about our auction house repurchase 500,000 yuan?" After thinking for a while, Zhou Xing couldn't help but speak.

This box, if they let the auction house auction it again, more than 1 million may be auctioned.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but want to laugh, they worked hard for 10,000 yuan to shoot it, and now they have to pay 50 times the price to buy it back, which is also wonderful!

But since the auction house is willing to buy it back at a price of fifty times, it means that the value of the box is still more than 500,000.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Brother Hu again, in this world, as long as you have the ability, there is no situation where you can't reach it without the principal.

10,000 yuan, who doesn't have it? Even if you don't have it, can't you borrow it? Or work for a few months, you can always save it.

This change of hands is fifty times. Isn't the first pot of gold coming? And then the money rolls in, and that's how the rich make their fortunes. Therefore, it doesn't matter if it's not the rich second generation, the second generation or something, you must learn some real skills, and you won't be afraid of being forced by life.

"There are so many anchors, I will serve Brother Hu. ”

"Don't compare other anchors with my brother Hu, they are not in the same realm. ”

"Alas, if I had half of Brother Hu's ability, I would also live in a villa and marry a school girl. ”

......

Zhao Xin glanced at him with contempt: "I said Lao Zhou, aren't you clearly trying to take advantage!"

Zhou Xing listened, was slightly embarrassed, and smiled: "Brother Hu can also continue to be auctioned in our auction house." ”

He secretly blamed the people in his auction house for not taking things seriously, and of course, including himself, such a simple mechanism, none of them found out.

If it was discovered, the auction would not have almost been auctioned, and in the end, it was the Populus euphratica auction at a reserve price of 10,000 yuan, so that there would be no shame.

"Forget it! I like this box when I look at it, Xiaohu, transfer 800,000 yuan to me. Zhao Xin said.

It just so happens that he can use it to hold some gems or something, and it should feel good. It's not just those carved pictures that attract him, but the performance of the mechanism just now is also eye-catching.

Hu Yang didn't care, nodded and handed over the box: "Okay! Brother Zhao likes it, then take it!"

10,000 yuan, in the blink of an eye, is 80 times, this kind of thing is estimated to only happen to a very small number of people like Brother Hu.

Moreover, let's calculate it, Brother Hu's income today is shocked again. Especially for those who have just come in, the first Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln pendant, more than 45 million, and the second Yongle sweet white glazed plum bottle, more than 50 million, is already 100 million.

"The anchor has made a fortune. ”

"Hehe, rookies, for Brother Hu, what kind of fortune is this?"

"Indeed, Brother Hu is a rich man, this money is nothing!"
