Chapter 16 A Wooden Box Worth Ten Millions

"Thousand ...... Millennial no... Rotten for 10,000 years...... Immortal --------Golden Silk South"

"What?" Teacher Jin and several other experts stood up abruptly and exclaimed.

Several expert teachers glanced at each other, and they all saw a deep shock in each other's eyes.

"Impossible......... It's impossible to ......," Teacher Bai muttered to himself as he sat down in his chair in a distracted manner.

Xiao Yu and the others also knew that this wooden box was definitely not simple, Xiao Yu had never touched antiques and had never heard of golden silk nanmu. But Fang Yuan is different, as the general manager of the antique city, he has also studied some antique information to know the golden silk nanmu. It was because I knew that I felt very strange, and I couldn't help asking: "Experts, teachers, as far as I know, golden silk nanmu is scarce and valuable, but with your vision and knowledge, shouldn't you be so out of shape for this golden silk nanmu?" ”

Hearing their question, Mr. Cai also sat down, pondered for a moment, looked directly at the wooden box and said slowly: "Golden silk nanmu, also known as Yumu, has been exclusive to the emperor since ancient times, and the officials in the ancient Sichuan and Hunan areas all regarded the tribute of golden silk nanmu as a top priority, and if they did a good job, they could also be assessed as a standard for promotion.

Because this golden silk nanmu is only in the deep mountains and old forests in the Sichuan and Hunan areas, and in ancient times there was no such developed traffic in modern society, a sentence "Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky" said that Shu road is difficult to travel, often a golden silk nanmu to be transported to Kyoto, to pay the price of dozens of hundreds of lives. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong rose up to build a palace of golden silk nanmu, so he sent an army to transport timber, but when he returned to Kyoto, only half of the people came back alive, and the other half stayed on the Shu road forever, so in ancient times there was a saying that it was difficult to buy golden silk nan.

"Teacher Cai, I heard that the emperor's dragon chair in ancient times was made of golden silk nanmu, is it true?" After hearing Teacher Cai say that the golden silk nanmu was precious, Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a piece of information he had seen on the computer, so he asked.

Hearing Fang Yuan's question, Xiao Yu also listened attentively. Mr. Cai nodded slowly, affirming this statement, and then said: "This is true, the dragon chair in the Forbidden City now is made of golden silk nanmu. ”

Hearing Mr. Cai's introduction, Xiao Yu knew the preciousness of the golden silk nanmu, and suddenly he thought of observing the fact that the dead qi of the wooden box floated out under the eyes of yin and yang, so he asked curiously: "What is the effect of this golden silk nan?" What makes it so precious? ”

Mr. Cai thought for a while and said with a smile: "When I studied the dragon chair in the Forbidden City, I summarized the three major effects of golden silk nanmu, anti-corrosion, anti-insect, and anti-deformation. Antiseptic, if you bury the golden silk nanmu soil in water for thousands of years, it will not rot; Insect proof, things made of golden silk nan wood will never have insect bites and insect moths, and the golden silk nan wood used in the coffins of ancient emperors in general to prevent the remains from being destroyed; Anti-deformation, the quality of the golden silk nanmu is excellent, does not change, the texture is smooth, no matter how big the temperature difference is, hot or cold, the wind blows and blows, it is not easy to warp and fission, the doors and windows made of general wood, the sun is sunburned, it is easy to deform! ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Cai paused before continuing: "In fact, there is one of the biggest characteristics of golden silk nanmu, that is, it is as hard as iron and stone, and the sword is difficult to hurt. It is also this characteristic that we see the wooden box is so out of shape, although the golden silk nan wood is precious but we have seen a lot, but the things carved out of the golden silk nan wood are still the first time to see, in ancient times, skilled craftsmen tried their best to carve out the finest thing is the dragon chair, at that time not as many high-tech things as modern can be carved, at that time it was all handmade, often craftsmen carved a dragon chair also took more than ten years to complete. And such a finely carved box is simply unheard of. ”

"Yes! Lao Cai is right, so we didn't look at its material when we first looked at the wooden box, this thing is a wooden box in the early Ming Dynasty, so we thought it was just ordinary Nanmu, because in our cognition, it was impossible to carve such a detailed thing with gold silk Nanmu in ancient times. Teacher Mao took over and said. The rest of the experts nodded.

After listening to the expert's words, Xiao Yu nodded calmly, but he thought a lot in his heart: "Could it be that the antiseptic of Jinsi Nanmu is because of his slow escape of dead air?" Who carved this wooden box? Suddenly, Xiao Yu thought of a possibility, since Zhong Kui is real, then other immortals, devils and monsters should also exist, since it is impossible for the ancients to carve out, is it them...? ”

"That'...... Experts, how much is Dr. Xiao's wooden box worth now? Fang Yuan stammered and asked.

"It's hard to say, there is no similar type of thing on the market, and the price is hard to say, but I estimate that at least one... Million! Teacher Bai raised a finger and said.

"Ahh What the! Ten million? Zhang Xiaoying, who had been standing next to her, covered her mouth and exclaimed. Although Zhang Xiaoying doesn't understand antiques, she often looks at chasing treasures and knows that it is normal for a good thing to be worth one or two million, so she was not too surprised when she said it was worth one million at the beginning, but she was just envious of Dr. Xiao's good luck, but she didn't expect it to be worth tens of millions in a while, and it was the least, which made her can't help but scream.

Fang Yuan sat there as if he was stupid, thinking to himself, why wasn't it his own? Ten million! It's not a thousand yuan, and I can't earn so much in my life!

Although Xiao Yu was also surprised, his heart was quite calm, since fusing Zhong Kui's memory, although he didn't regard money as dung, his mental ability to bear it has increased a lot. thought: "No matter how good and precious this thing is, it is useless to keep it, it is better to sell it for money, so that my mother will not have to work so hard." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Brothers, I want to sell this thing, and you have a wide network to help you get in touch." ”

After Xiao Yu said that he had sold the wooden box, all the experts were stunned, and the room became quiet, in their minds, it was better to keep such a good thing in their own hands.

In the end, Mr. Cai couldn't hold back: "Brother Xiao, are you thinking about ..................selling such a peerless thing?"

"No matter how good things are, they are useless to me, and I don't understand or like these things, so it's better to sell them!" Xiao Yu said with a faint smile.

"Brother Xiao..............."

Teacher Mao still wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Mr. Cai waving his hand: "Forget it, Lao Mao, don't persuade him, since Brother Xiao must have his ideas if he wants to sell, let's help him contact the buyer!" ”

"Alas, well!" Teacher Mao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Xiao, we have to catch a plane, so let's leave first, and wait for me to contact the seller to notify you!" Mr. Cai said that Mr. Cai is an expert in miscellaneous matters, and he has handled the most miscellaneous things, so he has the most contacts in Yanjing in this regard.
