Chapter 33: The Score and the Rusty Knife
Luo's goal was the knife and the strange pot, but it was best to save the appreciation of both in the middle, or at the end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first collection he chose was the Mu Monkey Stone Statue, which was nearly one meter tall and was an upright stone monkey wearing a pointed horned hat, with an extremely expressive appearance, which vividly expressed the ferocity of human beings through his expression.
The carving is excellent, but not enough to make this stone monkey a collector's item.
Evil Face (Genuine)
Quality: Antiquities
Year: 612
This object is from the hand of the famous sculptor Fortin, who loves to carve sharp-beaked monkeys who are good at imitating human expressions, and carved 139 stone statues of sharp-beaked monkeys in his lifetime, but all of them are works with good faces.
Evil Face is the 140th stone statue of Fordin's sharp-billed monkey, and its preciousness is not only its specialness, but also the craftsmanship and raw materials that make up this work of art.
……
More detailed information about Evil Face and Fording was left in Law's head.
Luo learned about the stone monkey almost instantly, and not only that, but a slightly blurry picture flashed in his mind without warning.
In the four-walled room, a decadent middle-aged man holds a strangely shaped stone chisel, and in front of him is a stone pillar that has not yet taken shape.
Although the man's face is not very clear, he can feel the extreme madness coming from the man.
In the picture, the man holds a stone chisel and persistently does the same movement in one position, but there are other different images.
These strange images swirled in Law's mind, as if a demon hidden in the shadows was whispering to him: to accept, to accept...
Luo slowly withdrew his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, this situation had never been encountered when he came into contact with the hand of the evil omen.
If this is the spirit left by Ferdin, then this stone monkey should also have a residual thought.
Since Luo had his back to the elder, the elder didn't see Luo's strange expression.
After standing still for about a minute, Luo suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned to look at the elder, and said: "This is a stone statue of a sharp-billed monkey from the hand of the famous sculptor Ferdin, he has carved 140 stone statues of sharp-billed monkeys in his life, and likes to carve a straw hat on the head of each sharp-billed monkey, only this stone statue of the sharp-billed monkey with a wicked face is the most special, whether it is its expression or the sharp-beaked hat." ”
The first 139 stone statues of sharp-billed monkeys are all carved with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, smiling and lively, but this 140th stone statue of sharp-billed monkeys is carved with evil faces. ”
Luo stretched out his index finger and gently swiped a faint blood stain on the pointed cap of the stone statue, and sighed: "This is not only Ferdin's last work, but also a real painstaking work. ”
Although there are only 139 sharp-billed stone monkeys in Fording's works, and there is no carving of evil-faced sharp-billed stone monkeys, the skills of the self-contained school cannot be imitated, because the stone used is very special, so even the years can not polish the edges and corners, which is one of the reasons why it is easy to be judged as a fake. ”
"However, there is no such thing as a fake. ”
"Judging by the time of Ferdin's death, the year of this vicious-faced sharp-billed monkey is about 600 years old. ”
Although the work has not been recorded in the literature, the first 139 stone statues of the sharp-billed monkey in Fording were uniformly named Good Faces, so it is not surprising that the name of this collection would be given the name Evil Faces. ”
Luo organized the information in his mind and his imagination into words, trying his best to explain the relevant information of the evil face, but as for the deeper information he learned from the pictures, he would not reveal it at all.
If he leaves Meteor Street in the future, he will definitely go to Fordin's address, and the information revealed by the memory screen seems to be an unknown and strange sheet music, called... Dark Sonata.
It's just that, after 600 years of change, it should no longer exist.
Still, Luo wanted to check it out.
The unknown, like the demon's whisper, is very tempting.
After listening to Luo's account, the basement became silent.
Curry and his companions stared at Law with a look of hell, completely unexpectedly this scene.
Almost half of the hill of bones next to the black dog was planted by the sharp-beaked monkey.
Kuli and his companions watched as sanctimonious connoisseurs were transformed from living people to corpses, as they all identified the sharp-beaked monkey statues as fakes.
The elder was silent, but Luo could feel that the elder's gaze was full of surprise, and judging from the reaction of the two Kuli, most of them were right.
If it weren't for Kulolo's explanation of the hand of bad omen before, Luo Xingxu couldn't be sure whether the information displayed in the white smoke font was correct, although he didn't want to admit it, but Kurolo did help a lot.
"Go on. At this moment, the elder had already decided to let Luo live, and asked Luo to collect antiquities and treasures for him.
became...
Luo quietly walked towards the next collection, wanting to absorb the thoughts of the knife and the strange pot under the noses of the elders, perhaps using rich language to attract their attention, in short, to fool Dafa.
The next collection is a silver bowl without any features, and its value lies in the name engraved under the silver bowl, which seems to be a very famous warrior three hundred years ago, and the name under the silver bowl is carved with a finger.
After Luo touched it, he learned about the silver bowl, but the strange picture did not reappear.
In the absence of interest, Luo didn't deal with the matter, and he said as much detail as he could, which made the elder stunned.
The appraisal of just two collectibles has already highlighted the staggering value.
At this moment, the elders had already regarded Luo as a true connoisseur, and even his immature age could not reverse this view.
After all, Meteor Street has never been based on age and appearance.
The third collector's item is a gold pen with an extraordinarily intricate openwork engraving, and regardless of the age, this appearance alone is collectible.
Similarly, the royal gold pen of a certain royal family in this long history is the same as the silver bowl, and there are no memory fragments popping up in Luo's head.
When Luo told the name and year of the golden pen, Kuli knew that the elder would definitely be wrong, but his twin brother's feud would not end there.
As long as the elders recognize Law's value and send Law, he has a chance.
At this moment, the elder's mood began to improve, and the value shown by Luo was beyond his expectations, and he was really a rare talent.
The fourth collection... A long knife with a rusty blade is also a collection with trace thoughts.
Luo's heartbeat increased slightly, and he felt like he was stealing under someone else's nose.
It was a risky move, but he didn't want to miss it.
The knife was about five feet long and resembled a Miao knife in appearance, with a slender blade, black and red patterns on the handle, and no gauntlets.
Under the light, the rust on the body of the knife formed round spots the size of tail nails, densely arranged in a row, like the spots on the body of a poisonous snake.
A rusty knife, a knife that has fallen and can't kill people, a knife that has finally become an ornament.
But... The spirit is not lost.
When Luo stretched out his hand, before his fingertips touched the blade of the knife, he felt a trace of sharpness, like a thin needle pricking his fingertips.
Luo was slightly startled, and when his hand touched the handle of the knife, his face gradually changed.
At this moment, Luo had only one thought.
I'm going to... Get this knife.
