Zhao Tianming walked around and found that this shop was quite wide, but it hadn't been repaired for a long time, and it looked a little dilapidated everywhere, and it could be seen that the shopkeeper had no intention of operating at all.

Walking around outside, Zhao Tianming didn't find anything to see, so he walked inside.

The workshop in the back is also very large, and in its heyday, it can accommodate dozens of workers working at the same time. Moreover, there are some large utensils inside, which seem to be very old, and it is likely that they are really inherited from ancient times, and there are such rumors, which may not be groundless.

Nearby, some unprocessed jade materials were scattered and discarded. The floor of this workshop is made of hard soil, which is very solid, but over the years, there have been some potholes, and there is no repair.

A lot of jade materials are scattered in these soil pits, and a few young people are not too dirty, digging out the jade materials in the pits one by one, and they are very busy, trying to find some dusty jade.

Zhao Tianming picked up a piece of jade, looked at it, and said that it was about the same stone, no wonder it was thrown everywhere, and he suddenly lost interest.

In addition, Zhao Tianming found a lot of jade carving tools in the workshop, all kinds of things, he was not interested in this aspect, just picked it up and looked at it, and put it back.

Walking to the innermost, Zhao Tianming found a statue of "Qiu Zu" on the wall, covered with thick dust, which had obviously not been taken care of for a long time.

"Qiu Zu", which is not only Qiu Chuji, but also known as "Changchun Zhenren", has always been known as the originator of jade carving.

When Qiu Chuji was a child, his family was poor, and after becoming a Taoist priest, he traveled everywhere, saw a lot of knowledge, and learned the skill of jade cutting. Legend has it that he once went as far as Xinjiang and Khotan to collect jade, and used a small donkey to transport white jade back to the capital.

He specially selected smart and dexterous people from among the homeless children who suffered from disasters and taught them to cut jade, and from then on, there was a jade shop in the capital. Because of his contribution to the jade industry, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Zu's birthday, the jade carving artists in the capital have to go to Baiyun Temple to worship this ancestor.

Liulichang also has the Changchun Guild Hall, which houses the statue of Qiu Zu, and the guild hall has become a place to commemorate Qiu Zu and the jade shop.

However, in Gusu, there are also many people who regard Lu Zigang as the ancestor of jade carving, and they have their own statements, which are difficult to sort out.

Just like the barber industry, there are those who set up Guan Yu as the grandfather, and there are those who establish Luo Chuhong as the grandfather.

It is difficult to say exactly when Qiu Chuji became the originator of the jade carving industry, but judging from this statue, the age is a little old.

Zhao Tianming put his hand on it, used the ability of the ancient mirror to identify it, and found that this statue turned out to be a work of the Qing Dynasty, and it was really old.

However, what surprised him the most was that he found that there was another mystery in this wall, under the corner of the wall, there was an empty place, and there were still things hidden in it!

There was originally a place where there were living bricks for hiding, but now, the secret door has been completely sealed and cannot be shaken.

It's just that after such a long time, the dilapidated wall has long since ceased to be strong, Zhao Tianming took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, found tools to pry around, and quickly pried a few bricks open and took things out of it.

This is a brocade box, twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters high, for a long time, even if it is sealed inside, the color becomes a little gray.

Zhao Tianming took it in his hand, opened it casually, and found that there were some jade tools inside, wrapped in brocade tiles, and besides, there were no other things to see.

However, he was not disappointed, because in the middle, separated by a somewhat strange knife, the blade of which turned out to be made of diamond, shiny.

Its hilt, which looks like jade, is as thick as a thumb, and it looks a little long, and it is a little inexhaustible in one hand. On the handle of the knife, carved with some exquisite patterns, at the end, there are two Yin script seals, which are "Zigang"!

Zhao Tianming immediately thought of a possibility, legend has it that the Kunwu knife must be used to carve jade, and what tool Lu Zigang used to carve jade so delicately is still a mystery. According to Lu Zigang's own words, his unique skills are all from the original Seiko carving knife "Kun Xuan".

But this "Kun Gong knife", he has never been secret, and his knife skills are not passed on to others. Since Lu Zigang had no descendants, after his death, his stunt and the "Kun Gong Knife" were also annihilated together, which made future generations sigh.

It is said that Lu Zigang's "Kun Gong knife" is made of diamond, could it be that this somewhat strange knife is Lu Zigang's "Kun Gong knife"?

Zhao Tianming's breathing was a little short, and he immediately identified it, and got the result he imagined, and suddenly felt that the knife in his hand was very hot.

Zhao Tianming forced himself to calm down, and after the appraisal just now, he found that the handle of this knife was also hollow, and there were still things hidden in it, most likely, this was Lu Zigang's lost jade stunt!

The ghost made a miracle, he used his ability again, identified the brocade box, and found that inside the brocade box, sure enough, there was also a hidden compartment, and inside was a book.

Zhao Tianming knocked on the dark grid, took out the book, and found that there were four big characters on the cover: "Zigang Secret Technique"!

For a moment, he felt as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake!

However, what is written in this book is Lu Zigang's stunt, what is inside the hilt?

It's just that I don't have time to study it carefully for the time being, and I'll talk about it later when I have a chance.

After a while, Zhao Tianming came back to his senses, quickly put the book back into the dark grid, took out the "Kun Gong knife", hid it on his body, thought about it, took it out again, and put it into the dark grid with the book.

The other tools in the brocade box are also a little strange in style, and Zhao Tianming guessed that they are likely to be commonly used tools in ancient times.

He took out the brocade wrapped in things, threw it into an unnoticed place, took a bunch of small jade tools and a few smaller pieces of jade from the workbench, put them in the brocade box and put them together, and then, with soil ash, wiped the surface of the brocade box again, until there was no flaw in it, then he took the brocade box and walked to the outside storefront.

Walking outside, I saw Gu Jiahua observing the jade on it in front of a row of shelves, and in his hands, he was still holding two pieces of jade, but, looking at his expression, there seemed to be no unexpected surprise, just when he was bored waiting for Zhao Tianming, he looked around.

Also, if there is anything worth making a move here, just now in Guo's shopkeeper's shop, he would have already reminded him that he was on the same street, and it was impossible not to know.

Most likely, he himself had already patronized it, and the geese had plucked their feathers, and there was nothing left.
