Chapter Ninety-One: The Ivory Ball
After returning from the hotel where Zhang Yuting was staying, Fang Yong hurriedly returned to his room after saying good night to Kang Lao.
Today, he absorbed enough aura in Wang's house, allowing Fang Yong to form a second aura purple ball in the sea of consciousness. Due to the large number of people, Fang Yong had simply tested the consciousness detection range at that time, and now that no one had come to disturb him, Fang Yong could boldly verify the ability that the second Spiritual Qi Purple Ball had brought him.
Fang Yong's mind entered the Sea of Consciousness, and there were two spiritual energy purple balls floating in the air in the Sea of Consciousness, and the two spheres were slowly rotating, as if something connected them in the middle, making people feel that they were all one.
Fang Yong first manipulated the object with his mind magic technique. When the ability first appeared, Fang Yong could only control a few ants, and when the first aura purple ball was formed, Fang Yong was able to manipulate a kilogram of object and make it move according to his own thoughts. Now that he had the second Spiritual Qi Purple Ball, Fang Yong couldn't wait to experiment with it.
Begin to move the heavy objects in the room little by little with your mind, small chairs, suitcases, ......; Two kilograms, five kilograms ......, when Fang Yong used his mind to control the wrought iron sofa of about ten kilograms, he began to struggle, and it seemed that these ten kilograms had reached the current maximum limit.
Fang Yong tested the aura attack in the sea of consciousness again. took a small iron box containing tea and put it on the chair, urging his thoughts, and a powerful force gushed out, shooting directly at the small iron box, "Zheng! With a sound, I saw that the small iron box seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and it was about to be split open.
"Shhh Fang Yong took a breath of cold air. This is too powerful, right?,If it's not a small iron box but a person in front of you.,Wouldn't it be injured.,It seems that this aura attack is better to use less.。
Fang Yong tested some other abilities, such as strength, speed, explosiveness, memory, etc., and these aspects have been greatly improved.
After the test was completed, lying on the bed, Fang Yong always felt that some aspect of the ability had not been discovered, and with such doubts, Fang Yong fell asleep.
Zhang Yuting followed her mother back, and Fang Yong's life returned to its original state. Follow Kang Lao every day to learn antique appraisal knowledge, and during this period, he also followed Kang Lao to participate in an art auction, although Fang Yong did not auction anything, but he absorbed all the aura on these artworks, which is also a great gain for Fang Yong.
Kang Lao arranged Fang Yong's time to the full. A few days later, Zhang Yuting called and asked if she had taken out the photos taken in Zhongshan Park last time. At this time, Fang Yong remembered that the photo had not been taken yet, so he hurriedly confessed to Zhang Yuting and promised to get the photo back today.
After asking the master for leave, Fang Yong went out and headed towards Zhongshan Park. Fortunately, when I took the photo, I chose a photographer in a photo studio, and I could just go directly to the photo collection point in the park to get the photo, otherwise Fang Yong would be busy.
The photo is good, and the happiness and sweetness on the faces of Fang Yong and Zhang Yuting in the photo make the guy who took the photo next to him envious. After the photo was in hand, Fang Yong immediately called Zhang Yuting and told her that the photo had been taken out and that it was very good. provoked Zhang Yuting to look forward to it on the other end of the phone.
Out of Zhongshan Park, Fang Yong looked at the time, there was still some time until noon, thinking about going to the bookstore to have a look, and by the way to buy a few more books to go back.
When he was on the overpass, Fang Yong suddenly found that on the overpass where people came and went, there were several uncles and aunts who set up stalls selling antiques, jewelry, and souvenirs, and passers-by stopped from time to time to look at the items they were selling, and some even bargained for a few things.
Fang Yong habitually opened his consciousness to probe these things. Suddenly, a red mist appeared in Fang Yong's image in the sea of consciousness. Fang Yong's first reaction was that he found another treasure.
Fang Yong pretended to be a passerby and walked towards the stall, the owner of which was a middle-aged uncle with a sloppy beard and a somewhat decadent look.
Walking to the front of this stall, Fang Yong saw that the thing that originally emitted red treasure light turned out to be a Qing Dynasty ivory carving product, which was inconspicuous mixed in a pile of jewelry made of resin plastic, which made people think it was a plastic product at first glance.
This is a piece of ivory carving set ball, the volume is not large, the diameter of the ball is about ten centimeters, taken from natural ivory, carved into it. The ball is set in the ball, from large to small, from the inside and outside of the layer of each other, and layer by layer hollowed, each layer of thickness is uniform, each ball around the body is regularly hollowed out several circular light, engraved with fine pattern holes.
In addition to the surface of the outermost round ball with relief carved flowers, landscapes, and character patterns, the five small balls set inside are all decorated with densely arranged patterns of carving, so that the whole ivory ball can be rotated no matter how it is placed, and can see through its interior.
The top of the ball is carved with a red ribbon tied on the top and a Chinese knot hanging from the bottom, which forms a strong contrast with the white ivory, which complements each other beautifully.
Fang Yong pointed to the pile of ornaments and asked the middle-aged uncle, "How are these things sold?" ”
When the middle-aged uncle saw that business came to his door, a smile suddenly appeared on his decadent face, and he said, "Twenty yuan a piece, just pick it!" ”
Fang Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, haha, it's cheap to me again! This middle-aged uncle has a treasure mountain, but he doesn't know it.
Fang Yong was the first to take this ivory carving treasure in his hand, and then after picking two resin crafts with good appearance, he repaid the bargain with the middle-aged uncle, and finally bought three ornaments for fifty yuan.
After paying, Fang Yong didn't have the idea of going to the bookstore. From the historical images of the treasures, Fang Yong saw that it was an ivory carving product from the Qing Dynasty, and Fang Yong didn't understand the specific value, so he wanted to go back and ask the master for advice.
took the taxi back and rushed to Kang's hometown. When he came to Master's house, Fang Yong showed off the treasure he had picked up today to Master.
When Kang Lao saw the ivory set ball that Fang Yong brought, his eyes lit up, he didn't expect Fang Yong to find such a good treasure after going out for so long, and he was very happy in his heart.
Let Fang Yong move a stool and sit in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, Kang Lao talked to Fang Yong. The first ivory objects were only practical tools, and they appeared around the Neolithic period. With the development of history, ivory carving craft decorative supplies gradually appeared.
The ivory carved flower cup and ivory bird-shaped dagger unearthed at the Hemudu cultural site are the earliest known ivory carving products. In the Neolithic cultural site of Dawenkou, exquisite handicraft products such as ivory carving cylinders, ivory combs, ivory beads, and ivory tubes have also been unearthed.
These ivory carvings fully express the various understandings of the ancestors of the primitive society on the art of carving, so that we cannot but marvel at the creative talent and power of primitive humans.
In the Qing Dynasty, folk artists imitated stone carvings and created ivory balls specially used for ornamentation. This ivory ball is staggered and overlapped, delicate and delicate, and the surface is engraved with various relief patterns. From the outside to the inside, the sphere is made up of several layers of hollow balls, which appear to be just a sphere on the outside, but there are layers within the layer. Each of these balls rotates freely and has the same center. And each set of ivory balls inside and outside is carved with exquisite and intricate ornaments, and the ivory ball you find today is a work of the Qing Dynasty.
