Chapter 848: The Mystery in the Pen
PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.
Seeing the suspicious eyes of the two, Wang Guan was very relaxed, and smiled and said, "Elder Zhang, whether this thing is sesame or watermelon, you might as well take a look before deciding." ”
"I'm sure I'm going to see it."
At this time, Zhang Lao also stabilized his mind, and while lifting the big brush, he said: "Although I also believe that you will not be so unwise, I am also afraid that you will be dizzy for a while......"
"Huh?"
As he spoke, Zhang Lao's palm swept over the thick and round barrel of his arm, and he suddenly hesitated: "This seems to be a metal material...... I said how to sink so much. ”
"That's right, it's a copper barrel, but it's painted with a layer of black paint." Wang nodded and smiled: "The craftsmanship is very good." ”
"It's just copper and iron pipes, what kind of craftsmanship can you say?"
However, Zhang Lao shook his head: "If it is bamboo, wood, jade, or gold, silver, and ceramic brushes, and it can be proved to be the utensils of the ancient court, then it is not a problem to be worth millions." But the price of copper and iron things must be greatly discounted. Besides, this thing is black from the beginning to the end, and it has no features, so how worthless it is. ”
Zhang Lao's words are very fair, this big pen is big, but the whole body is black, not only the lacquered pen barrel is black, even the pen tip is also black, and the black is not thorough enough, there is a bit of variegation.
Generally speaking, a color is very pure, pure to the extreme, then it will shine through. For example, black pottery, black pottery shiny in black, and the black color is full of elegance. However, this large brush does not have such a condition, but has a bit of gray and black spots. All in all, the appearance of something is not good, which naturally affects its value.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lao's brows were locked like Sichuan characters, and his face was full of confusion: "Wang Guan, there is no reason why you can't see the value of this thing." I really don't understand why you chose it? Could it be that he has changed his temper? Want to have a good relationship with Longhu Mountain? ”
"How is that possible?" Wang Guan chuckled and said, "I don't believe in gods and Buddhas when I see money." I must have my own reasons for wanting this thing. Mr. Zhang, you know that I have been to Hanzhong before, so do you know why I went to Hanzhong? ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Lao was stunned for a moment, mainly because the topic jumped a little, and he naturally didn't understand what he meant. However, Fang Mingsheng suddenly thought about it, and said in surprise: "You mean, there is also a mysterious mechanism hidden in this big pen?" ”
"That's right."
Wang Guan admitted it directly and said with a smile: "When I picked up the big pen." That's when I realized it wasn't right. Not only because it is made of metal, but also because of the heavy weight. Generally speaking, if it is a metal material, it is more reasonable for the barrel to be hollow. But this thing is solid, and it makes me feel a little weird......"
"It's a bit heavier, but I don't think it's anything weird." Zhang Lao frowned.
"The main reason is that you haven't visited the Hanzhong Institute of Institutions."
At this time, Wang Guan explained with a smile: "Otherwise, you will have the same reaction as me." When I came back from the tour, I was a little bit of a noise. The sequelae of the grass and trees are soldiers.,Now I look at everything and wonder if it's a hidden mechanism.。 ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Fang Mingsheng thought so: "I also have such symptoms, especially when I see something like a box, my first reaction is to guess if there is any mechanism in this thing." ”
Zhang Lao was a little stunned. Then he carefully looked at the large pen and hesitated: "Wang Guan, you said that this thing has a mechanism, that is your own suspicion and speculation." Or did you really find a mechanism? ”
"Of course I've found a mechanism." Wang Guan smiled: "I'm not stupid, it's impossible to abandon the fisherman's picture and choose this big brush because of a little doubt in my heart." ”
"And what's hidden in the trap?" Zhang Lao naturally asked.
"I don't know about that." Wang Guan pretended to be garlic and said: "At that time, the situation was a bit rushed. After discovering the mechanism, Zhang Qing came up, and I can't continue to study......"
"In this way, there is still a bit of a risk." Zhang Lao frowned and said, "If this big pen just has a mechanism, but there are no other things stored in it, then wouldn't you suffer a loss?" ”
"Take a gamble and try your luck."
Wang Guan smiled and said, "You also know that my luck has never been bad. Now that the clues have been found, there is no reason to miss such a thing. Besides, I can afford to lose, so it's a big deal to wait another year. ”
"I don't believe that after Longhu Mountain tasted the sweetness, it only leased the gloomy wooden beads of red sandalwood for one year. When the lease expires next year, they plan to renew it, and I directly ask for the fisherman's picture, and I don't believe they won't give it. ”
To put it bluntly, Wang Guan is playing this idea, otherwise the conditions of the lease will not be so simple, not as harsh as Zhang Qing and others imagined. Killing chickens and taking eggs can certainly obtain temporary benefits, but a long stream of water is the king. It's like planting leeks, as long as you don't dig up the roots, then you can cut stubble after stubble. If you put a long line, you can catch a big fish......
"You're using them like ATMs?"
For a moment, Zhang Lao was a little ridiculous: "It's clear that I treat them as fat sheep and shear sheep every year." ”
"You can't say that, we're mutually beneficial."
Wang Guan Zhenzhen said: "Don't look at them as if they are bleeding now, but they will definitely be able to earn back with profits when they turn around." In contrast, they were eating meat, and I was just drinking soup. ”
After all, with the ability of Longhu Mountain, and the strange treasure of red sandalwood gloomy wood beads, the two can be said to complement each other, and they will definitely be able to play big tricks.
This year, in addition to women's money, it is estimated that religious groups are the most profitable. Otherwise, there would not be a group of "masters" popping up every year to make trouble in the city.
The so-called freedom of belief, sincerity is the spirit, you don't believe it, others believe it. And don't look at Wang Guan's mouth does not believe in immortals and Buddhas, but when he really enters the Buddhist temple and Taoism, he can't avoid burning a few incense sticks to pay respect. It may seem contradictory, but it is actually a very common and subtle psychology.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Lao didn't want to talk about religious affairs more, so he simply pulled the topic back: "Where is the organ you are talking about?" ”
"In ......"
Wang Guancai was about to point it out, but he didn't expect Zhang Lao to suddenly change his mind, and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Forget it, don't say it yet, let me find it myself." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Lao put the large pen on the table next to him, then carefully observed and fumbled, and quickly locked the key to cracking the mechanism at the upper end of the pen barrel. After all, it is indeed suspicious that the upper end of the pen barrel, which is relatively smooth and seamless, and has been coated with black lacquer, is indeed more suspicious.
"I guess this is it."
Zhang Lao looked at it for a moment, and saw that there was a screw at the upper end of the pen barrel, and the ribbon was tied in the screwing hole. After some pondering, he reached out and tentatively pressed the screw, but found that the screw did not move.
For a while, Zhang Lao seemed to be more energetic than the twister. If it doesn't work, then turn it, and then rub, pinch, and pull, but unfortunately the twist has no response.
After a while, Zhang Lao gave up for the time being, his eyes full of doubt: "Wang Guan, is there really a mechanism for this matter?" ”
"Of course, I'm going to lie to you?" Wang Guan nodded very seriously, and then smiled: "If you don't believe it, then I'll crack the mechanism?" ”
"Okay, here you go."
Zhang Lao didn't bother and directly moved out of the way. He is very simple, and he feels that he can't do it, so let the person who can do it come, and he will not grind for the sake of the so-called face. And there is no need to think that Zhang Lao's strength is not good, mainly because he has a specialization in the art industry, after all, not everyone has studied the science of organs.
Even if it is Wang Guan, if it is not cheating, it is estimated that there is no need for this large pen. Unlike now, knowing the mysteries of a large number of mechanisms, it is naturally easy and effortless.
"Old Zhang, in fact, you should be more patient."
At this time, Wang Guan smiled: "You check the end of the pen, that is a very correct breakthrough point." It's just the wrong direction, it shouldn't be the upper end of the barrel, it's ...... the lower end."
The lower end of the barrel is actually the tip of the pen. This is a large pen, so the tip of the pen is naturally not small, as if it is fluffy like a small broom. According to Zhang Lao's identification, the hair of the pen tip should be horsetail silk, and the ink absorption is not good. Therefore, the stroke of this large pen is just a pure ornament, and it is difficult to use it for ink writing.
Now Wang Guan pushed the pen away, only to see that there was a plug in the barrel of the pen.
Under normal circumstances, the production of the brush is to hollow out the lower end of the pen barrel and then fill in the pen edge. But this big pen has a small stopper, which is indeed a bit unusual.
Anyway, Wang Guan knew that this plug was the key, so he directly reached out and pressed it hard, and then rotated it around.
"Click!"
The sound of the mechanism sounded, proving that Wang Guan was right, and that there was indeed a secret hidden in the thing. At this moment, at the upper end of the pen barrel, no matter how hard Zhang Lao struggled, there was no sign of loosening, and the twister suddenly bounced out.
"Hey, that's how it opens." Zhang Lao was amazed, and hurriedly came closer to watch. I saw that after the bullet was unscrewed, a hole was revealed in the barrel of the pen. However, the eyelets are not big, but they can be tucked into the thumb.
The thick barrel of an adult's arm, which has only a thumb-sized eyelet inside, speaks for itself. Moreover, Wang Guan confirmed that this large pen does have a mechanism, which naturally makes people look forward to the situation in the pen. Is there something hidden in the barrel, and if so, what kind of treasure is it?
With such an idea, Zhang Lao immediately lifted the slightly heavy pen tube, and then shook it gently. After a few moments, I heard only a snap, and something seemed to fall out of the eyelet of the barrel.
"It's really hidden."
In an instant, everyone was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly looked towards the desktop.
"Huh?"
At first glance, everyone was stunned. At a glance, I saw that the desktop was empty, and there was nothing special to find.
"Did it fall to the ground?"
Zhang Lao frowned, lowered his head and searched the floor. (To be continued......)
