In the antique jargon, if you can't see it accurately, if you can't see it well, it means that the thing is wrong, but because of the presence of the owner of the thing, it is more euphemistic.

As for the word demonic energy, it is not something that can be used casually, it refers to the color, luster and light left behind in imitation and counterfeit products for the sake of aging. This kind of artificial illusion is often very deceptive, so it is called demonic energy.

Therefore, when Wang Guan said that this Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue has a demonic spirit, everyone subconsciously thought that he wanted to say that this thing was an imitation or a fake.

At the same time, without waiting for the others to react, the whole person of the big shopkeeper seemed to have blown up his hair, and jumped to his feet and said: "There is a demonic spirit? Where's the demonic spirit? This of mine is definitely the real product of He Chaozong. ”

"Xiao Li, don't worry." Qin Lao hurriedly persuaded him.

"Old Qin, you don't know how precious this thing is, how can I not be in a hurry." The big shopkeeper walked quickly to the table, picked up the statue of Guanyin and looked at it repeatedly, and then glared at Wang Guan and said, "You say, where is the East and West Demon?" It's good, but I didn't find anything wrong......"

"Xiao Li, you calm down first, if you care, you will be chaotic, and being anxious will not solve the problem." Tian Lao frowned.

"Tian Lao, I'm very calm now." The shopkeeper exclaimed, "I'm just asking him for advice, wondering what's wrong with this thing." ”

"Nonsense, you're yelling and yelling now, is it the attitude of asking people for advice?" Zhang Lao blew his beard and glared, then stood up and walked to the table, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Give me something, you stay there." ”

Suddenly, the big shopkeeper was like a wilted eggplant, and he put down the statue of Guanyin in frustration. However, he didn't leave, just stood by and watched Zhang Lao's appreciation.

At this time, Zhang Lao picked up the Guanyin statue and looked at it carefully, observed it repeatedly for a few minutes, and then frowned. beckoned: "Lao Tian." You can come and have a look, too. ”

"Huh!"

Everyone was shocked and thought it was very strange. You must know that with Zhang Lao's appreciation ability, it should be easy to see the authenticity of a thing, and there is no need to call others at all. Calling someone now shows that Zhang Lao is not sure of his judgment, so he wants to find someone to advise.

In this regard, everyone naturally felt very surprised, so Tian Lao hurriedly walked over and carefully took the Guanyin statue from Zhang Lao's hand. Then he looked at it very carefully.

At first, Tian Lao's brows were furrowed terribly, and after a while, he relaxed a little, but after a few minutes, he immediately wrinkled again, and his brows were almost twisted into Sichuan characters. In the end, Tian Lao shook his head lightly and discussed a few sentences with Zhang Lao in a whisper. He turned around and exclaimed, "This thing seems to be a little strange." Let's all come up and take a look. ”

In fact, several old people were a little curious, even itchy, and now when they heard this, where could they still sit still, they got up and walked around the table. After that, two or three people watched the statue at the same time, and the people next to them were not idle. When he saw that there was a gap, he reached out and took out a magnifying glass and gestured on the statue of Guanyin.

All of a sudden, the statue of Guanyin was covered with a magnifying glass, and there was no room from head to toe.

At the same time, Gao Dequan asked softly, "Wang Guan, what do you see?" ”

"It's hard to say, I don't know if it's right." Wang Guan frowned and said, it's not that he wants to sell Guanzi. The main reason is that this thing is really very strange, and if there is no basis, no one will believe it even if it is said.

"Ade, come and see."

Just when Gao Dequan wanted to ask, Zhang Lao and the others also saw that it was almost there, and also called him over. At the right time, he had no choice but to let go of Wang Guan and walked over to inspect the statue of Guanyin with a stomach full of questions.

When Gao Dequan was studying, Zhang Lao and the others returned to their seats, either thoughtfully, frowning, or confident, anyway, everyone's expressions were different.

Seeing this, the chief treasurer was also in his heart, like a prisoner who listened to the sentence, very curious about the final result, but afraid of hearing unfavorable news. This kind of apprehensive taste is very uncomfortable, which is equivalent to a kind of torment.

"Seniors, is there anything wrong with me?" The shopkeeper asked, afraid that even he himself had not noticed, and his voice was already trembling. However, no one responded to him, and one or two old men wanted to speak, but when they found that no one next to them spoke, they continued to remain silent suspiciously.

The big shopkeeper trembled in his heart, and pleaded a little: "Old Qin, even if you die, you have to let me know the reason." ”

"This thing...... How to say it. Qin Lao looked left and right, frowned and muttered: "The craftsmanship, modeling, fetal quality, and style seal are all right, which is in line with the characteristics of He Chaozong's works." But ......"

"But what?" The big shopkeeper asked in shock, this is what he is most afraid of.

"But I always feel like something is wrong." Qin Lao was puzzled and said, "The question is, what is wrong, I can't say for a while." ”

"Ahh The big shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and said eagerly: "Old Qin, you are a master appraisal, how can you not say it." ”

"Nonsense, and I'm not a porcelain player." Qin Lao glared and said, "You go and show me something like walnuts and tooth horn wood carvings, and you will know if I can speak thoroughly." ”

"Old Qin, it's me who is stupid, don't take it to heart." The big shopkeeper hurriedly laughed, and then Zhu Zhuzi turned around and said: "Old Qin, it's not me who said, you shouldn't be preconceived, I listened to the words of the little brother, so I felt that something was wrong." ”

"Xiao Li, do you think I'm the kind of person who is easy to be swayed?" Qin Lao was a little unhappy.

"You're not easily swayed, but suspicious."

At this time, without waiting for the big shopkeeper to answer, an old man next to him shook his head and said: "You are all suspicious, I don't think there is anything wrong with things, but I feel very good, it is a fine product of Dehua white porcelain." The condition is exquisite, worthy of a master's work. ”

"Bai Lao, you are so right." The big shopkeeper was stunned, and then overjoyed.

"Lao Bai, it's not that we are suspicious, but that something is really wrong." At the same time, Zhang Lao frowned and said: "Porcelain is different from ancient books and paintings, you can't see anything just by looking at the appearance." ”

"What's the matter, who said that ancient books and calligraphy only look at appearance?" Bai Lao exhaled angrily: "There are also paper, author's seals, various inscriptions, collection marks, textures, sizes, decorations, etc., which are dozens of times more complex than porcelain." ”

"It's just that it's too complicated for you to be distracted and take care of everything else, so the identification of porcelain is a little weaker."

Zhang Lao had something to say, and he was not afraid that Bai Lao would be more angry. After all, after more than ten years of friendship, it is impossible to turn your face because of a few unpleasant words.

"Hmph, you play miscellaneous, learn miscellaneous, and it's even more difficult to master, maybe it's not as good as me." Bai Lao retorted.

"I don't quarrel with you."

Zhang Lao waved his hand, then turned his head and asked, "Wang Guan, what do you think is wrong with Guanyin?" ”

"Can you say that?" Wang Guan asked in a low voice, after all, the big shopkeeper was here, which made him somewhat scrupled. Saying that something is wrong has already made the big shopkeeper jump in a hurry, and then analyze it face-to-face, isn't it similar to slapping his face.

"Say, what can't be said." Boss Zhang grinned and said: "Anyway, there are no outsiders here, you can say whatever you see." You say yes, Xiao Li? ”

"Yes......" The big shopkeeper smiled bitterly, and he didn't dare to say no. Besides, he also wanted to know what Wang Guan, Zhang Lao and others thought was wrong with the Guanyin statue.

With Zhang Lao's words, it was like having Shang Fang's sword, Wang Guan had no worries, and said bluntly: "This thing, I think it seems to be put together." ”

"Huh!"

Everyone was stunned and thoughtful.

At this moment, the big shopkeeper suddenly burst out laughing.

"Xiao Li, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Lao frowned.

"Old Zhang, I'm laughing at the little brother if he is confused for a while." The big shopkeeper patted his chest and said with palpitations: "I thought he was going to say something?" I didn't expect it to be this ......."

The big shopkeeper shook his head lightly and patiently explained: "Little brother, don't you know, in ancient times, due to technical limitations, even if the porcelain Buddha statue was molded, the body demoulding was generally decomposed into three parts: head, body and base. Each part is cut into two pieces, the front and back, and finally the pieces are spliced together into a complete statue. ”

"Therefore, if it is found that the Buddha statue is an intact molded work, then it must be a modern fake, and only the one that is put together is correct." Between the words, the big shopkeeper was very sure: "However, my statue of Guanyin of He Chaozong, no matter which aspect it is identified, it meets the standards of the times. It is definitely not a modern fake, let alone an imitation of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. ”

"However, I didn't say that it was a modern fake, or an imitation of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China." Wang Guan said, with an innocent expression.

"What?"

A group of people felt stunned for a while, Wang Guan didn't say this for long, so he didn't forget it immediately, right? This kind of thing, if it is light, it is to see the wind and make the rudder, and if it is heavy, it is two-sided and three-edged, which is very despised.

However, under the contemptuous gaze of the big shopkeeper, Wang Guan quickly explained: "I just said that this thing has a demonic aura and is very weird. Moreover, when I say splicing, I don't mean the connection at the time of production, but the new glaze of the old tire. ”

The so-called old tire new glaze, to put it bluntly, is to re-glaze the waste products picked up at the kiln site and then enter the kiln for firing. If the workmanship is good, it can also be fake.

"It's impossible to ......" For a moment, the big shopkeeper shook his head and subconsciously retorted.

At the same time, Zhang Lao asked, "Wang Guan, what evidence do you have for saying this?" ”

"There is no definite evidence, but it can be deduced." Wang Guan said that with the correct answer in mind, the process of inferring backwards is simply a breeze.

"Reasoning?"

Zhang Lao said with interest: "How do you reason? ”

"It's simple."

At this time, Wang Guan walked to the table and gestured on the statue of Guanyin: "I think that this statue of Guanyin is actually made up of four parts of the fragments of the old fetus. The area from the head to the back is a part. The second part is the piece engraved with the seal of He Chaozong. The third part is the whole body in front and all the way to this large piece that connects to the bottom. The fourth part is self-evident, it is the base of this group. ”

"What evidence do you have?" The big shopkeeper asked loudly.
