Chapter 716: Gloomy Wood
Needless to say, the efficacy of the spiritual fluid is good. It didn't take long for Lin Zukang's disgraced face to become ruddy again, and even his breathing became steady and powerful.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zukang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Ping with some confusion and asked, "Where am I?"
Faced with such a problem, Xiao Ping didn't know how to explain it to Lin Zukang for a while.
Fortunately, Lin Zukang quickly remembered what happened before, slowly sat up and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I, Lin Zukang, have been in the shopping mall for so many years, and so many winds and waves have come over, and today I almost planted it on this gloomy wood! Xiao Xiaoyou, it really makes you laugh." ”
Xiao Ping said: "The most important thing is the safety of people. Mr. Lin, don't get so excited!"
"Speaking of which, I still don't have enough concentration!" Speaking of this, Lin Zukang also sighed: "When I see gloomy wood, I won't be calm!"
Xiao Pinggang was trying to persuade Lin Zukang not to get too excited, but his secretary had already run over excitedly and said loudly: "Mr. Lin, are you awake? It's really good! The situation just now is too scary, fortunately Mr. Xiao is here, otherwise it would ......."
Speaking of this, the secretary felt that this was not very lucky, so he quickly stopped talking and asked Lin Zukang: "Mr. Lin, the ambulance is already on the way, do you want to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination first?"
Lin Zukang didn't pay attention to the secretary at all, but just sighed to Xiao Ping: "I had long expected that Xiao Xiaoyou could configure such a good oral liquid, and his medical skills must be very clever, it seems that this is the case today, and I want to thank you for saving your life!"
"Mr. Lin, you are too polite. Xiao Ping said modestly: "I hit it off with you at first sight, how can I have the truth that I can't save you when I see death? This is just what Xiao Ping should do, if you keep this matter in mind." It made me feel uncomfortable. ”
Lin Zukang returned to his original open-minded appearance, and soon smiled and said, "Okay." Well, it's true that I'm too hypocritical. We won't talk about it in the future!"
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Lin Zukang's secretary couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Lin, let's go to the hospital for a checkup, right?"
"With Xiao Xiaoyou here, what are you going to do in the hospital?" Lin Zukang glanced at the secretary, turned around and asked Xiao Ping: "Do you think it is necessary for me to go to the hospital immediately?"
Lin Zukang had just taken a drop of spiritual liquid, and he knew that his current physical condition must be very good without checking Xiao Ping, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't think it's necessary, Mr. Lin is very healthy now!"
The secretary just wanted to persuade Lin Zukang again, but he waved his hand and said, "Since Xiao Xiaoyou said that I have nothing to do." Then we don't need to go to the hospital, let's cut these two rosewood trees completely apart first, and see if they are all gloomy wood!"
Lin Zukang is a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and when he said this, a momentum naturally emanated, so that the secretary didn't dare to say anything. However, for the sake of Lin Zukang's safety, he decided to let the ambulance come and stand by, so that he could be prepared in case of any accidents.
Xiao Ping was not worried about Lin Zukang's comfort, but was more concerned about the "gloomy wood" he mentioned several times, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Lin." What is this gloomy wood that excites you even the most knowledgeable?"
"Come and see!" Lin Zukang pointed to the place where the red sandalwood tree had been stripped of its bark and asked Xiao Ping: "Do you see any difference from ordinary red sandalwood?"
Xiao Ping has handled a lot of small-leaved rosewood trees, and he also knows a little about rosewood. When he got closer, he realized that although the rosewood tree had all the characteristics of rosewood, it was at the same time a little different.
Compared to ordinary rosewood. The wood of the tree is more delicate and hard, and the color is darker, even very similar to some of the stones that have been carefully crafted. But it's clearly just wood. It does feel very different.
Xiao Ping gently touched the surface of the wood and whispered, "Sure enough, something is different, it's like ...... It looked like a stone in the shape of wood!"
"You're right!" Lin Zukang clapped his hands and said, "The gloomy wood is originally a tree that is buried in the ground or water. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it is a semi-fossilized wood. You say the wood feels like it's turned into stone. It is one of the main characteristics of becoming gloomy wood!"
Xiao Ping couldn't help but nod secretly after hearing this, no wonder this wood gave people a stone-like feeling, it turned out that it had begun to transform into fossils.
Lin Zukang, who escaped death, was in good spirits, and soon continued: "Gloomy wood is also divided into two types: earth sinking and water sinking, and water sinking is relatively rare. Because it is soaked in water all year round, the wood becomes extremely compact and delicate, combining the advantages of both wood and stone. The wood that forms the gloomy wood is much more precious than ordinary wood of the same kind!"
Lin Zukang's words are also very understandable. After all, gloomy wood has been preserved after so many years, and of course it is much more precious than new wood of the same kind. However, what Xiao Ping didn't understand was that these two red sandalwood trees had only been soaked in the river in the demon refining pot for a few months, how could they become gloomy trees that had been sleeping in the river for tens of thousands of years when they arrived at Lin Zukang? Even if the speed of time in the demon refining pot passed relatively quickly, such a gap was inevitably too big.
However, Xiao Ping also knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to find the answer to his question. In the end, he could only attribute the reason to the magic of the demon refining pot, which was not something that ordinary people could comprehend.
Lin Zukang didn't know what Xiao Ping was thinking, and continued to popularize the knowledge of gloomy wood to him: "The most precious thing in gloomy wood is golden silk nanmu, and the other woods are worse. Moreover, the age of burial should be just right, if it is too short, the degree of petrification is too light, and if it is too long, it will be completely petrified and fragmented, and the quality will be much worse. And these two rosewood trees are just the right degree of petrification, retaining the appearance of wood and some of the characteristics of stone, which is simply perfect!"
Xiao Ping was born in a poor family, and he didn't know anything about gloomy wood, and he couldn't see what was good about the two red sandalwood trees in front of him, which had become gloomy wood. However, Xiao Ping still understood Lin Zukang's words, especially the sentence "perfect", which moved his heart, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Even a rich man like Lin Zukang has made an evaluation of 'perfect', these two trees must be very valuable, I don't know what kind of high price he will offer, maybe the money for the private jet ordered will be in hand!"
Xiao Ping was looking forward to the price of these two red sandalwood trees here, but Lin Zukang seemed to suddenly remember something, and slapped the wood in front of him and said: "Oh, I actually forgot about this, it's going to be terrible!" (To be continued......
