Liu Sizhe saw Chu Chen's happy appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, what is the difference between this needle, can you tell us about it?" ”

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a key." ”

"Keys? What kind of lock can you open for such a small and big thing? As he spoke, Liu Sizhe looked at the thin needle again, and couldn't imagine what kind of lock such a small key could open.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "What else can you lock, the lock on this Buddha statue!" ”

Everyone was very surprised when they heard Chu Chen's words, and their eyes were all fixed on this Buddha statue, but after looking around, they really didn't see where the lock Chu Chen was talking about.

"Brother Chu, just hurry up and tell us where the lock is!" Dong Fatzi said impatiently.

Chu Chen turned the Buddha statue over with a smile, pointed to the cover underneath, and said, "Oh, this is the lock." ”

"Wouldn't it? There's no keyhole! Dong Fatzi looked at the cover carefully, and said with a little stunned.

Chu Chen laughed and said, "Isn't there a layer of paint on it!" If I'm not mistaken, this cover should have been installed later, and I guess the time should be around the early to mid-Qing Dynasty. ”

"I originally thought that this was the previous owner, and after getting this thing, he reopened the light, because it had to be stored, so he installed a piece of cover, it seems that things are not so simple."

Hearing this, Liu Sizhe couldn't wait to say, "Brother Chen, what are you waiting for, open it up and take a look." What's inside! ”

Chu Chen smiled: "You have to ask the owner of the Buddha statue first, Lao Yu." If you want to find the keyhole, you have to remove the paint from the lid first. But after all, this is just my personal speculation, and maybe the result is different from my guess, or not necessarily. ”

From just now to now, Lao Yu's spirit has been in a trance, he didn't expect that this thing that looks like an embroidery needle would be a key, and the corresponding thing is his own Buddha statue.

It was incredulous to him. I was very excited, if there is any rare treasure hidden here, then I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life?

Therefore, when Lao Yu heard what Chu Chen said, he immediately agreed, as for Chu Chen saying that it might be wrong, he never even got up with this thought, Chu Chen is Liu Lao's closed disciple. How could it go wrong?

Seeing that Lao Yu agreed, Chu Chen asked Wang Xiaoyue for a knife, then turned the statue upside down and held it in his hand, and began to draw gently.

As the paint on the lid was slowly removed by Chu Chen. You can clearly see the crack in the square in the middle of the cap.

Seeing this, Dong Fatzi shouted and said, "Huh! There really is! But why didn't you see where the keyhole was? ”

Liu Sizhe said angrily: "I said fat. Can you please stop being so anxious, don't you see that there are still some places on the cover where the paint has not been removed? ”

Dong Fatzi smiled. "I don't want to see what's inside!" ”

Chu Chen smiled when he heard this, and didn't care about them. Concentrate on scraping off the paint on it gently, and after a while, on the left side of the crack, a small hole with the size of a needle's eye appeared, needless to say, this should be the "keyhole".

"Alright, I'll see what's inside!"

Then, Chu Chen picked up the needle and first removed some gelatin-like substances on it, which should play a role in preventing the fine needles from rusting. When he cleared up the substances, he slowly inserted the "key" into the small hole under the expectant gaze of everyone.

The depth of the small hole is not long, almost half the distance of the thin needle, and it is finished, but at this time the mechanism has not reacted at all. Seeing this, Chu Chen was not surprised, this kind of "belly hall" with its own key was originally different from the previous one, and the "key" had to be rotated to the appropriate position to open the mechanism.

So he cautiously began to gently turn the thin needle, and when he turned a third of the way, he only heard a "pop", and the square plank in the middle was bounced out.

Chu Chen smiled lightly at everyone, and then carefully poured the contents on the table, only to see that a piece of something that was not very big, wrapped in yellow silk like a seal, came into everyone's eyes.

When they saw that it might be a seal, everyone was a little disappointed, but when they turned their heads, there were not no rare treasures in this seal, and if it was the emperor's imperial seal, it would be terrible.

Thinking of this, Lao Yu's hands trembled slightly, and he opened the silk, and a golden square seal was immediately printed in everyone's eyes. The seal looks golden, the texture is warm and condensed, delicate and psychic, transparent and charming, and it seems to be emitting a golden light when you look closely.

"The best Tian Huang Jelly!" Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe shouted in unison.

If Tian Huang is the king of stones, then Tian Huang Jelly is the king of stones, and it is a treasure coveted by many literati and collectors.

Everyone sees such a haode seal, they are very hot-eyed, and they all want to get started and appreciate it, but there is only one seal, but there are so many people, and the typical one is that there are more monks and less porridge.

Lao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, please first!" ”

"Then you're welcome!"

Chu Chen hugged his fists to everyone, then wiped his hands carefully, and then carefully picked up the seal and looked at it carefully.

As Chu Chen picked up the seal, everyone first noticed that there was no engraving under the seal, in short, this was a seal embryo, which made Lao Yu a little disappointed.

But Lao Yu is also an old Jianghu, and after a while, his mood changed, and he was able to unexpectedly get such a superb Tianhuang frozen chapter embryo, his luck was already very good, since he had picked up a big leak, what else was not satisfied?

This seal is Tian Huang frozen carved square seal, as soon as he got into his hand, Chu Chen couldn't help but admire, this piece of Tian Huang, the stone knot is solid, the luster is positive and bright, and there is a slippery feeling in the hand, probably because there is a hot spring soak when buried, and there is a gentle feeling in the hand, the stone is moisturized, and it is suitable for the hand, such as the baby's skin, soft and lovely.

Careful observation, Tian Huangshi's unique radish silk pattern is faintly in the texture of the stone, the radish silk lines are clear and transparent, and the bright yellow is magnificent, as if born with the air of the emperor. Moreover, the seal is so delicate that its composition particles cannot be seen with the naked eye or a general magnifying glass, which can be described as delicate and uniform.

In addition, carefully tasted, there seems to be an aura in the stone, as if there is a light of life flashing. Introverted, subtle, without a little flashy and impatient, as if not eating the fireworks of the world, it makes people feel very ethereal.

The seal is engraved with the fish and dragon playing water carving buttons, the buttons are all workmanlike, the dragon head fish body, the swimming dragon is entrenched in the whole button end, the momentum is magnificent, vivid. Its mouth spits out the spring, turns over and becomes the clouds, covers and rains, leads the small dragon to play in the water, the fish and dragon make trouble, the performance of the water pattern is exquisite, but it is like a strong wind to borrow the momentum, help the waves to swell, and highlight the atmosphere between the square inches.

The whole stone modeling, layout, ornamentation, all ingenious and wonderful, both god and shape, quite ingenious, perfect to show the heroic posture and momentum of the dragon playing in the water, there is no deep skill can not carve this artistic conception.

This square Tianhuang, fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm, condensed, six virtues are complete, and the shape is regular, the shape is huge, the carving is exquisite, it can be said that it is the best in the Tianhuang seal.

zuihou, Chu Chen asked Wang Xiaoyue to ask for a ruler and measured the size, the length and width were 3 cm, and the height was 5.8 cm. The output of Tianhuang stone is scarce, and most of them are small pieces, and it is extremely rare to have large pieces, not to mention the best in Tianhuang jelly, like such a huge Tianhuang frozen carving square seal, it is extremely rare.

Next, everyone took turns to look at this seal, and they were all amazed by this seal, and everyone wanted to keep this seal for themselves.

Chu Chen smiled and said to Lao Yu: "Old Yu, I don't know what you want to do with this seal?" Can you cut love? ”

"This ......"

Lao Yu pondered for a while, he also liked this seal in his heart, after all, this kind of superb Tian Huang Jelly is a rare thing, but if he wants to say that he likes it, he can't put it down.

After all, his main collection was only Buddha statues, and he was not a scholar, and he did not have the habit of using seals. Therefore, he did not have to deal with this seal.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Chu, if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have such an unexpected gain, since you like it, let it be given to you!" ”

Chu Chen was very happy when he heard Lao Yu's promise, and expressed his gratitude to Lao Yu repeatedly.

"Brother Chen, there is a way to see the share, I also want this seal, what should I do?" Liu Sizhe said with a bitter face.

Chu Chen scolded with a smile: "What should I do? Cold! There is only one seal, can it still be divided into two? Or do you want to bid with me? ”

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Don't say that I can't compete with you, I bid with you, doesn't that hurt the harmony of the two of us!" I think so, Brother Chen, you are so lucky, one day you got the best Tian Huang, can you give it to me? ”

Chu Chen said speechlessly: "Do you think this kind of superb Tianhuang jelly is Chinese cabbage, you can have it if you want to?" ”

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I know that this kind of Tianhuangshi is rare, but if you want to come to Brother Yichen, your luck will definitely meet it in the future, and when the time comes, you can just give it to me again." ”

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll give you a blank check first, and when I encounter such a Tian Huang in the future, I'll give it to you." ”

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Then Brother Xiexie Chen!" ”

"We want it too!" Dong Fatzi and they shouted in unison.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, okay!" Then all of you will have a share! (To be continued......)
