"What!" exclaimed my dad, looking at me with strange eyes. As the saying goes, a son is better than a father. If you want to say that it is antique knowledge, I have been dabbling in it since I was a child, but it is never to such a high level of appreciation, if you want to say that it is luck, this luck is simply open, and the explosive leakage in two weeks is more than the leakage that ordinary people pick up in a lifetime.

I know that my recent performance has been too eye-catching, but I can't explain it because of the fact that I can't reveal it. It seems that I will learn to hide clumsily in the future, and when I thought of this, I immediately dispelled the idea of showing off the original rhino horn carving.

"What's going on with the inkstone?" my dad asked.

I smiled wryly, "It can only be said that it was a coincidence." I saw the original brick inkstone, one corner was slightly bumped, and when I looked closely, there was that kind of grit feeling, and I wondered how this inkstone was made of stone, and it was made by craftsmen, how could there be sand?"

As I spoke, I observed their expressions and saw that there was nothing unusual about them, and that the original brick inkstone had been destroyed and there was no evidence to check, so I had the courage to continue: "I was suspicious at that time. I looked at it carefully, and found that there were no traces of human use on the front of this brick inkstone, and I rubbed the bump with my hand, and there was indeed a feeling of sand, so I guessed that this was a brick made of mortar by someone, and then carved into the shape of a brick inkstone. However, I really couldn't think of a reason, and this brick inkstone was not very expensive, so I simply decided to open this brick inkstone to see if there was anything in it. ”

"Heck, it seems that this luck didn't come for nothing. Good luck is reserved for those who are prepared!" Uncle Fang sighed. I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that my statement is not too outrageous.

But my dad still stared at me and didn't speak.

I hurriedly continued: "Uncle Fang, why would someone make such a good inkstone like this?"

Da Zhuang replied: "In order to protect the baby!"

When I woke up from my dream, I said: "Yes! In order to avoid the flames of war, the ancients would use many means to disguise the treasures! Some time ago, I read a news special report, during the Republic of China, someone clumsily forged a famous work of Tang Bohu, and there was a lover of Chinese painting, who saw that it was a work imitated by later generations, and bought it at a low price as a handicraft. ”

"Then how much is this inkstone worth!" Da Zhuang was still more interested in this.

"In the past two years, the economic crisis has passed, and the collection has also recovered. At the time of the Jiade Spring auction, there was an ancient inkstone, without a seal inscription, and the price was 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the calf was probably 2 to 3 times as much! Although it is not as valuable as Tang Bohu's painting, it is undoubtedly a big leak!" Uncle Fang said.

"So much money!" Da Zhuang said in astonishment, 2 to 3 times, wouldn't that be 2 million smaller?

My dad was also taken aback, and if so, wouldn't the store be given to us for nothing? And he gave us a lot of start-up capital.

"This kind of thing! it's all creation!" Uncle Fang said.

After listening to this, my dad was relieved, after all, no one would have thought that I could know in advance that there was such a treasure in it, and the matter of creation cannot be seen or touched, and most people have the attitude of believing it rather than believing it. However, there was no excitement in his tone to pick up the baby, nor envy and sigh, and he said lightly: "Okay, let's go back today, I'm quite tired." ”

I answered, Uncle Fang and Da Zhuang also went back to the store, and we left Xuande Zhai. Of course, I put the wooden box in my bag, but I still can't put this treasure in the store.

I didn't go far when I suddenly remembered the rhino horn carving, and the picture of Panasonic asking the boy was not only why, but it was deeply engraved in my mind at once, and then I had a headache.

I felt a panic, and I hurriedly stood still, holding my breath and adjusting my breath, but I still thought about the carving. No, I'm going to take him home and study it.

"Dad, my stuff has been left in the store, you can wait for me. Without waiting for my dad to reply, I turned around and ran back quickly.

When I opened the door of the store, I went straight to the safe and took out the carved pieces hidden in the innermost part, and I suddenly felt a sense of solidity. Then, I found a random gift box, put the carvings in, put them in the bag and left again.

Along the way, my dad was very silent and didn't mention the inkstone.

When I got home, my dad told me to put away the inkstone and then we went back to the house to rest.

I went back to the house and hid the precious brocade box in the cupboard. Then, I sat down on the bed, crossed my legs, opened the gift box, took out the carved rhino horn, and observed it carefully. This Panasonic asked the boy's carving, the color is honey-colored, the idea is conformal, simple and sparse, the carving is vigorous and powerful, there is no ingenuity, the praise is strong, it is natural, there is a typical carving style of the early Qing Dynasty, but the caviar pattern of the rhino horn is not very obvious. It's just that this thing is a pen holder, maybe there are fewer of this material, and it is considered by Boss Gu to be an imitation?

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes... I fell into deep thought, and gradually entered a state of concentration.

I recognized it.

Danyangzi's voice floated out, and the disciple really had deep roots.

I shouted out to Master unnaturally.

"Still worried about the ability to appreciate treasures?" Danyangzi seemed to see through my thoughts.

"Yes. The collection of treasures relies on talent, vision and long-term experience. Although I have read some books, how can I be able to appreciate the treasure?, and how do I see this brick and inkstone today?" I was puzzled.

"Attentively. Danyoko said.

I was just about to continue posting, but Danyangzi interrupted me and continued: "You are different from ordinary people, you can't look at you with the eyes of the world. Heaven and earth Xuanzhu, the root of all gases. To put it simply, all the treasures in the world have jewels, and people in the world can only see the surface with their eyes, and you can achieve the purpose of distinguishing them from the treasures by practicing qi. ”

I thoughtfully asked, "Even if I know it's a treasure, how do I know what kind of treasure it is?"

Danyangzi smiled and said, "The Tao is natural. The Tao is not only the tangible "matter", the "spirit" of thought, and the "law" of reason, but also the formless, void and spiritual root of the universe that causes all this. "Matter", "spirit", and "law" are all derivatives of "Tao". Apprentice, you have been good at historiography since you were a child, and you are well-read and memorized, and the affairs of this world have already been loaded into your mind, but you don't know it. ”

"Could it be that these things are all judged by myself through knowledge?" I was even more surprised, thinking to myself, is this the legendary knowledge is power?

"Yes and no. "Danyangzi's words, I can't hear whether they are affirmative or negative.

"It's the way. The Tao is the foundation, and knowledge is the law. Don't be in a hurry, take your time to understand the meaning of this way. Danyoko continued.
