Chapter 374: Master Style
"How do you two take this wooden stick and look at it, as long as we go to the charcoal factory in the countryside, we can bring back as much as we want!" No, why is this thing so heavy, isn't it made of wood?! Ning Huanyan on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lin Bai holding the wooden block and looking left and right, so he reached out and snatched the wooden block. The best novels are comfortable to read
Hearing Ning Huanyan's words, the stall owner immediately showed a touch of unhappiness on his face and said: "Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, the things in my stall are all carefully selected and goodies." Look at my stall, there are not only turtle shells used by King Wen to deduce the sixty-four hexagrams, but also fishing rods used by Jiang Ziya for fishing......"
"Everyone understands people, so there is no need to say these foolish words to foreigners! I advise you, boss, this kind of hurtful thing, it's better to touch less in the future, not only is it not good for your own health, but also for your children and grandchildren, it's not a good thing! Lin Bai put the wooden block in his hand on the stall, and then looked at the boss with a smile.
He now knew what the wooden block he was pinching just now was, and he also knew that the real identity of this boss should be a Tufuzi, commonly known as a tomb robber. Although he was far away from the boss, Lin Bai still felt a dull dead aura, and this kind of dead aura could only be possessed by people who often went in and out of the grave!
Dead air is actually a kind of yin, heaven and earth are originally formed by the combination of yin and yang, and it stands to reason that there will be no great damage to the human body. However, the yin qi in the tomb is accompanied by the decay of the corpse, as well as the cultivation of feng shui, which will cause great harm to the human body. It may be difficult to notice when you are young, but when you are older, you have to endure all kinds of backlash!
As soon as the stall owner heard Lin Bai's words, his face turned blue and red for a while, and then he frowned and looked at Lin Bai and said sharply: "How do you talk, how do you talk, if you like to buy, you will buy it, and if you don't like to buy it, you will pass!" ”
"Although the money in the soil is fast, but there is always a smell of dirt on it, and it has damaged the wind of other people's families, and the retribution of the heavenly cycle is not happy, the words are only here, what will happen in the future, please think about it yourself!" Lin Bai smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced around, and chuckled.
After saying that, Lin Bai got up and walked out of the stall with a few women. After walking forward for a while, Xia Xiaoqing looked at Lin Bai with a strange face, and said softly: "Lin Bai, what is so strange about that thing, how can you say those strange things to the boss." In my opinion, it should be some vintage, so it's a good thing! ”
"It's indeed a good thing...... Lin Bai shook his head with a smile, and continued: "But that thing is too dirty, I'm afraid if I say it, you want to rush back to the embassy to wash your hands now!" ”
Xia Xiaoqing couldn't see what the wooden block was, but as soon as Lin Bai stretched out his hand and felt the touch, he instantly understood that the wooden block was a thousand-year-old gloomy mahogany wood. The so-called gloomy wood is something that was formed by the large trees in ancient times being pressed into the ground for various reasons and then isolated from oxygen carbonization, which is also an unusual thing.
But this piece of wood is not just gloomy wood, it is essentially a coffin board. Before the Qing Dynasty, the ancients were very fond of gloomy wood, and many royal nobles liked to choose gloomy wood as the material for coffins. And that piece of wood should be a piece of core wood that the stall owner took from the coffin.
In Lin Bai's opinion, this thing should be something from the Song Dynasty, that is to say, it has been buried in the ground as a coffin board for thousands of years, affected by feng shui day and night, and the material is still peach wood. If this kind of thing is placed at home, I am afraid that the men, women and children in the family will be haunted by rotten peach blossoms, and may even die because of peach blossoms.
"I said that the boss's face changed greatly when you said that, it turned out that he took out the coffin board and sold it......" After listening to Lin Bai's words, Xia Xiaoqing was suddenly a little dumbfounded, took out a wet tissue from his pocket and wiped his palm constantly, thinking that he was holding a coffin board and looking over and over again, he felt sick to his stomach.
Looking at Xia Xiaoqing's appearance, Lin Bai shook his head and smiled: "Seriously, gloomy wood is indeed a rare thing, Xiaoqing, if you really like it, you might as well accept it!" ”
"Come on, you'll just think about that kind of bad thing, if I really take it...... Then it's really psychopathic! Xia Xiaoqing waved her hand again and again when she heard this, wrinkling her nose and looking disgusting.
In fact, what Lin Bai said was not purely a joke. Just the piece of peach heart gloomy wood, he felt that if he got it to the auction house, at least it could be sold for hundreds of thousands, and if it was carved by a skilled craftsman, it was not impossible to sell it for a million, of course, the prerequisite for all this was that the buyer did not know the origin of this gloomy wood.
The formation of gloomy wood is extremely complex, and the number of surviving in the world is extremely scarce. Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong once sold a piece of gloomy wood formed by gold sandalwood, which was raised to a price of 10 million by a group of buyers at that time, even if it is more expensive than gold. Even if the mahogany material is not as good as gold sandalwood, it is far from something that ordinary people can buy casually.
Strictly speaking, gloomy wood cannot be said to be wood, but rather a type of carbon. After thousands of years of underground chemical evolution, the wood is extremely heavy, sinking when entering the water, and will produce beautiful patterns, the utensils carved with gloomy wood do not need any lacquer decoration, because the formation conditions are difficult, excavation is not easy, so in ancient times, it was a thing that the royal family and nobles could enjoy.
Moreover, in ancient China, there were rumors that the gloomy wood as the coffin can not only waterproof and repel insects so that the corpse does not decay for a long time, but also can nourish the earth's qi, and most of the gloomy wood is made into the coffin of the royal family. This thousand-year-old gloomy mahogany is supposed to have been excavated by the stall owner from the tombs of princes and nobles somewhere in the country.
"To tell the truth, the stall owner is also lazy, if he can find a carver to carve that thousand-year-old gloomy mahogany wood into some ornaments, I think there will be a lot of collectors who will flock to it, but now this appearance, I'm afraid that even if it is placed for a day today, no one will be interested in it!" Lin Bai sighed and sighed.
To be honest, he still had some thoughts about that thousand-year-old gloomy mahogany. Although this thing is not very auspicious for ordinary people, as long as he uses the secret method to dissolve those obscure qi in it, put it at home as an ornament, or take it out and sell it, it is a good choice.
"Just think about it, if you dare to move this kind of bad thing home, a few of us will move out to live!" He Jiaer wrinkled his nose, and then said: "And if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in my belly, let's accumulate some yin virtue for him, and in the future, like you, I will always worry about people!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Bai couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh dryly. It seems that the women are a little frightened by the fact that they give them a heart-pounding drama from time to time, and now they even say such a thing as Yin De.
"When it comes to carving, I think of one thing. When I came out of the rainforest, the Great Elder told me that when you woke up, you must ask Karzac, a master carver in Mexico, to bring him a message. It's okay anyway, and the place where the master carver lives is not far from this Chinatown, so we can go and have a look! Sima Yilan said when she heard this.
When Lin Bai heard this, he nodded and agreed. Although there are quite a few stalls on the streets, most of the things on them are fakes, which really makes people feel bored from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, in the rainforest, the Great Elder also has great kindness to Lin Bai, and since he has recovered, he should indeed give them a message, saving them from worrying about this matter.
And after Xia Xiaoqing's daughters went through this incident, their original interest in this antique street was gone. These women all came here with the purpose of picking up leaks, but seeing that the fakes in this antique street accounted for at least ninety percent, and it was really not interesting to stay any longer, at this time, when they heard Sima Yilan's proposal, they nodded in agreement.
As Sima Yilan said, the place where Karzac was located was indeed not far from where Lin Bai and the others were now, but after walking out of Chinatown and passing through a few alleys, the group arrived at the house where Karzac was.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone was taken aback. From the outside, the small courtyard, which looks inconspicuous from the outside, is actually piled with all kinds of precious wood, and most of them have been carved. The more expensive the wood, the more intricate it is to carve, and the most laborious of the hand, in ancient times, it often took craftsmen years to complete a piece of beautifully carved furniture.
Although the wood carvings in this courtyard are not large, the carvings are extremely complex, and each wood carving is shining with a faint light. The production of wood carving pays attention to one chisel, two carvings, and seven polishing. The reason why these pieces of furniture are shiny is that after the wood carvings are formed, they are first polished with a coarse cloth, then waxed, and finally wiped with a soft cotton cloth, so that they can glow faintly in the daylight.
Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. Lin Bai was thinking about the polishing method of these wood carvings, while Xia Xiaoqing and the girls were shocked by the rarity of these woods in the house. There are not only red sandalwood with thick bowls, but also yellow rosewood that is airlifted from nowhere, and even vines like dragons.
"This morning, the iron tree in my house suddenly bloomed, and I felt that there would be a happy event, it turned out that Brother Lin was seriously ill and recovered!" Just when several people were surprised by the rarity of wood in the courtyard, an old man walked out of the house, looked at Lin Bai and smiled.
Once the ordinary old man has passed the threshold of sixty, his old age will be revealed, but the years seem to have stopped in this Karzac. The old man in his seventies was not only full of black hair, but also had extremely ruddy faces, if it wasn't for the fact that the Great Elder had said Karzac's age before they came, I am afraid that Lin Bai would have thought that the person standing in front of them was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.
"The master's demeanor can really be said to be rare in the world, even if we turn our earth up and down, I'm afraid I can't find a few people with the style of Master Karzac!" Looking at Karzac's clear face, Lin Bai praised from the bottom of his heart.
