Third, if you ask for a monthly pass, don't you have one? Lao Wu begged for a monthly pass, at least three more per day! ――

For a while, everyone began to wonder what this painting was, and the teacher who specializes in the study of calligraphy and painting works in Beijing looked at the picture with his eyes fixed on the picture, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

After looking at it for a long time, the expert finally said. "This is Lao Tzu, this old man riding a green ox should be Lao Tzu, and the gate of this majestic city should be Hangu Pass, and the leader who greeted the old man is Guan Yin if I guess correctly."

Master Gao of the Demon Capital immediately agreed. "Yes, this is indeed Hangu Pass, Lao Tzu went out of Hangu Pass to ride a cow upside down. And the official guarding Hangu Pass is indeed Guan Yin. ”

Master Gao said. "There's a story to this painting. It is said that Guan Yin was obsessed with astronomy when he was young, loved to read ancient books, and had profound cultivation. One night, he stared at the starry sky, and suddenly saw the purple clouds gathering in the east, which were 30,000 li long, shaped like a flying dragon, rolling from east to west, so he said to himself: "The purple qi comes 30,000 miles from the east, and the saint travels west through this place." The green ox slowly carried the old man, hiding and hiding the vitality. ”

Guan Yin had actually heard of Lao Tzu's name a long time ago, so he sent people to sweep the road for forty miles, and burned incense on the road to welcome the saint. Sure enough, within a few days, there was an old man among the sparse pedestrians who came riding a green ox. This old man is Lao Tzu. ”

Guan Yin knew that Lao Tzu was going to fly away, so he must let Lao Tzu leave his wisdom, and always pestered him, asking him to write a little work as a condition for letting him out of the customs.

Lao Tzu was reluctant at the time, but if he didn't agree to Guan Yin, he wouldn't let him pass. I had no choice but to agree to the conditions. Lao Tzu pondered and meditated, and wrote his wisdom on the slip word by word, and wrote the first part first. I continued to write the next part, which lasted for a few days. I've written a count. There are a total of 5,000 words, named "The Tao Jing", the first part is called the "Tao Jing", the next part is called the "Tao Jing", and it is divided into 81 chapters. Thus an earth-shattering work of "5,000 words" was born! ”

When Guan Yin read such a wonderful work, he decided that this border officer would not do it, and went out of the customs with this Lao Tzu to the Western Regions, and then to India. Helped many people to become enlightened Buddhas. ”

After listening to the story, many people sighed, Director Zhao nodded and said. "Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, that's right."

Director Zhao was also surprised and delighted, fortunately, he finally saw the disappearance of this jewel, if he really made a judgment just now, then he was really sorry for this strange treasure.

However, seeing the picture of Lao Tzu's letter to Guguan in the west, Director Zhao had to return to the judgment of the material of this treasure bead.

Because the density of stone and metal is greater than that of water, it probably does not float. Director Zhao felt that this should be wood, and at this moment, he had to take out the orb. In order to judge the source of the different paintings, as well as the material, after soliciting the opinions of other experts.

Director Zhao gently stretched out his hand and took out the beads in the water.

The moment the cup came out of the water, all of a sudden, those out-of-phase were all gone, and the purple gas in the air, as well as the lifelike patterns, followed the water for a moment. Completely gone.

Feel the bead again and hold it in your hand. Director Zhao seems to have made a discovery based on its weight and hardness. But for a while, he was not sure, so he handed it over to other experts to discuss their opinions together.

The bead in everyone's hands, the color at the moment is purple, and there are cow hair patterns on it, after listening to Director Zhao's opinion, everyone also feels that it looks like rosewood.

Everyone knows that the rosewood wood grain has cow hair patterns, and the hardness is higher than other woods, in the water, sinking and floating up and his material seems to be right, but... The current piece of wood, its yin qi is so heavy, red sandalwood experts have seen a lot, this one is slightly different.

Zhao Wenyou took the jewel again and continued to watch the meeting, at this moment his expression moved slightly, and he smiled: "This thing seems to be a gloomy wooden ...... of red sandalwood."

"Rosewood gloomy wood!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little confused, Zhao Wenyou simply explained: "This gloomy wood, in the scientific definition, can be called carbonized wood. Because it is generally black, the southwest side is generally called ebony. ”

"The formation of gloomy wood, so to speak, is unexpected, so it is rare. It is some wood, due to earthquakes, floods, mudslides and other reasons, is buried in the stratum or river mud puddle, in the lack of oxygen, high pressure state, bacteria and other microorganisms, under the action of microorganisms, after thousands of years of carbonization process, finally formed. ”

It is this characteristic that makes the gloomy wood precious. The ancients used gloomy wood as a thing to ward off evil spirits, and made handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants. Moreover, there is a saying that a family with ebony is better than a box of treasure. ”

"Indeed." Master Gao nodded. "As soon as you say this, I suddenly realized that this is indeed gloomy wood, and there are many kinds of gloomy wood, the common ones are hemp willow tree, green oka tree, camphor tree, etc., but the most precious of them is red sandalwood, golden silk nan gloomy wood."

"The ancient emperors and generals, before they died, their greatest wish was probably to be able to get golden silk nan and red sandalwood gloomy wood as longevity wood materials. It's a pity that golden silk nan and red sandalwood are already scarce, and the probability of forming gloomy wood is also very low. Therefore, their wish is destined to be frustrated. ”

Everyone didn't know what this jewel was at first, but after listening to Director Zhao and Master Gao, they were shocked, this red sandalwood is rare, one cubic meter is million, and the red sandalwood gloomy wood is much more valuable than the red sandalwood, and the value is even more expensive.

The key is not here, the key is not the wood, the key is how the painting appeared!

Zhao Wenyou and other experts looked at this jewel, and finally couldn't understand how this painting came about.

Not only Director Zhao and other experts couldn't explain it, but even Jiang Youfu, who had this strange treasure, didn't know why this treasure bead appeared in that strange painting.

Moreover, it was only after being soaked in water for a long time, and after it came out of the water, it was just a simple orb, no, red sandalwood gloomy wood.

"Director Zhao, I think we still have to invite Elder Wu in the end, this is the first time in my life that this jewel has a different painting.

Seriously, I can explain Han Chong's painting, he is the effect achieved by the use of guò, ink and xuanbi, but on the beads, the strange painting on the gloomy wood of red sandalwood really can't be explained. ”

"Yes, there is no change if the beads do not enter the water, after entering the water, it will be lofty, the appearance of the Xiongguan Mandao, little by little, and then there will be Lao Tzu riding a cow upside down, this painting is really incomprehensible."

Director Zhao decided to invite Wu Lao out of the mountain, and as soon as he told the organizing committee, the organizing committee immediately sent staff to pick up Wu Lao.

And the judges and experts were helpless, and the Tibetan friends began to go up to point out the country, Han Chong and Tu Yuwei followed Tu Lao to lean over, and Han Chong also wanted to figure out why there was a different painting in this jewel.

An antique dealer picked up the orb, he had carefully put the orb into the water again, and with a bang, the bead of wood entered the water, fell down an inch, and when it approached the cup, it rebounded upward, and when it rushed up, the bead rotated clockwise in the water, and the speed was not fast, and at the same time, the purple gas rolled from west to east.

Then, a wisp of purple qi filled the air and rose up, like a dragon and snake dancing, and began to coil above the cup. (To be continued)
