After the daily morning class, the chief of Yuxi sat up and prepared to go to the dining hall for breakfast; A young Taoist boy walked up with his mobile phone.

"Master, a layman surnamed Ye called, saying that he was looking for you, and he seemed to be in a hurry."

The surname Ye is a layman, and the head of Yuxi remembers that there are several in the mobile phone, and he doesn't know which one the Taoist is talking about. took the phone and squinted at it, it was written on it Ye Jinyu.

The name Yuxi Taoist is still very impressive, this monk who is dedicated to Taoism, only sold two volumes of Taoist classics that are treasures for Taoism at a low price of one million, and later asked for several sets of Taoist classics since the Song Dynasty.

I don't know what is the matter with myself today; After thinking about it, Yuxi Daoist dialed the phone.

Ye Jinyu was checking Tian Huangshi's quotation on the Internet, and when he saw the phone ringing, he immediately picked it up, and when he saw that it was the number he had been waiting for, he immediately connected.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, may I ask if it's Ye Jushi, poor Dao Yuxi!" The warm voice of the head of Yuxi Dao came from the phone.

"Daoist Yuxi, I'm Ye Jinyu!"

After a few polite sentences, Yuxi Daoist went straight to the point: "I don't know what happened to Ye Jushi looking for the poor road?" ”

"Dao Chief, the last time I looked at my bloodstone seal, didn't you talk about Tian Huangshi, I just got some seals this time, so I wanted to sell them."

The words on the other end of the phone made Daoist Yuxi a little incredulous.

When he saw the huge bloodstone seal, and then saw Ye Jushi's hesitant expression, he was lucky, thinking that this Ye Jushi could get some Tian Huang; But I didn't expect that after such a little time, he actually got Tian Huang, listening to that tone, it seems that there is more than one piece; I couldn't help asking:

"Ye Jushi is saying, you have a lot of Tian Huangshi seals in your hands now? I don't know how much Ye Jushi said? ”

Hearing Daoist Yuxi's question, Ye Jinyu looked at the dozen or so large and small stone seals on the manuscript table. He replied: "There are more than a dozen pieces for the time being." ”

Because there was no time, I only had time to carve out a dozen of them; The stonemasons on the side of the Shenxiao Mansion are still working hard to carve, and I believe that it will not take too long to bring back more Tianhuang stones.

This amount made Yuxi Lao Dao not calm down, and exclaimed: "More than a dozen? "Tian Huang on the market now, that is called a collector who has no price and no market, and sells more than a dozen yuan at a time, I am afraid that it is unique.

"It's a dozen pieces for the time being, and there will be more later;" After Ye Jinyu corrected the mistake of the Yuxi Daoist, he said: "It's just that I'm not sure if this is really Tian Huangshi, so I still need the Daoist to come over and confirm." Although comparing the pictures on the Internet, there is a ninety percent chance that it is real Tian Huangshi, but Ye Jinyu still doesn't dare to say death, it's not good not to make jokes at that time. hurriedly said: "Okay, Ye Jushi, you wait; I'll come later. Yuxi vaguely remembered that Ye Jushi said at the time that if he could help him find a buyer, he would give him a piece; I can't help but feel eager.

It was determined that he was going to Ye Jinyu's copy shop, the Taoist chief didn't even eat breakfast, and he packed up his things and was about to go out with the Taoist boy, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, he met Professor Li head-on.

"Old Taoist, I was about to go to you to discuss the Tao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it turned out to be Li Jushi!" The chief of Yuxi Dao sang a promise, and then said: "I'm really sorry, there is an urgent matter in the poor road, and I need to go out, so it's better for Li Jushi to come again tomorrow!" ”

"It's better to go!" Professor Li said, and without saying a word, he sat in the car of the chief of Yuxi Road.

Yuxi Lao Dao looked at him very speechless, you said that you are a professor, your knowledge level is not low, and your age is not small, why don't you have any eyesight? We're familiar with it, but it's not ripe to this extent.

The professor insisted on going with him because he knew each other, but the head of Yuxi was not good to talk about him, because this bird professor had a very bad temper, and if he didn't do it well, he would sulk in his heart, and then make trouble with you.

In the end, Yuxi didn't say anything, and rushed to Ye Jinyu's copy shop with Professor Li. The Taoist temple was not far from Ye Jinyu's shop, and the group soon appeared at the door of the copy shop.

"Yuxi Daoist, welcome, welcome!" Ye Jinyu looked at the car parked in front of the store, and knew that it was the person he was waiting for.

The group entered the copy shop, and the first thing the chief of Yuxi saw was the stones placed on the platen.

"Fine, knotted, warm, moist, condensed, greasy! Both the six virtues, good stones! Yuxi Dao Chang touched it piece by piece, stroking it and talking.

When these stones were transported from Fuzhou to Chang'an, in order to ensure the speed on the road, they were transported in small pieces; The largest is only the size of a can, and the others are basically fist-to-fist.

When Yuxi Lao Dao turned over the stone in his hand to look at it, he shook his head again and again: "Tyrannical things, really tyrannical things!" It was cut so roughly from the middle, without a texture, and without carving according to the shape; This piece can be carved into a Pixiu ornament, and the artistic value can be at least doubled, but now it has been directly cut and engraved into a seal. What a waste. ”

He put down the stone in his hand, picked up the next one, and shook his head again: "The stone is a good stone, but it is not well carved; If you can ponder it with the hands of famous experts, the value can easily exceed 10 million. Now, I can only sell it as a stone. ”

Yuxi touched the stone and judged it, then Professor Li had no love for this kind of thing, he just thought it was beautiful after looking at it twice, and then he looked around boredly; Suddenly, he saw a writing on the wall. It was the only one Wang Zhiqiang could recognize, and then he picked out the one that was pasted on the wall.

At first glance, I felt that this block script was very good, so I couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look; The more I look at it, the more I feel it. The more you look, the closer your eyes are to the word; Looking at that posture, I can't wait to stick my eyes to the words.

After looking at it for a while, he said in surprise: "Old way, old way." Don't look at those stones, come and look at the word. ”

When Daoist Yuxi heard his call, he frowned and looked up, just a pair of words, it can have as much artistic value as these stones. After glancing at it, he looked down at his stone again.

Professor Li found that his shout was not answered, and he was very dissatisfied, so he turned his head and pulled the head of Yuxi to the pair of words, and asked excitedly: "Old Dao, you see that this character does not look like Ouyang Xun's words!" ”

Ye Jinyu's eyes opened when he heard this, and he said in his heart that this professor has a level! actually saw at a glance that this was written by Ouyang Xun's ugly old man, you must know that Ouyang Xun was a figure in the early Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago; It's been more than a thousand years. It seems that Ouyang Xun, the old man, is also quite famous, more than a thousand years have passed, and there are still people who can recognize his words at a glance.

The Yuxi Daoist also heard the name Ouyang Xun, so he temporarily put the stone behind his head and seriously focused on the words; After looking at it again and again, he nodded and said, "It seems to be very similar, but it was definitely not written by Ouyang Xun." ”

Professor Li didn't believe it and asked, "How can you be so sure?" ”

Yuxi pointed to the poem and said, "Look at the content of this poem!" This poem was written by Liu Zongyuan Jiang Xue, Ouyang Xun died for more than a hundred years, and Liu Zongyuan was born, how could Ouyang Xun write a poem that appeared more than a hundred years later? ”

Professor Li nodded with some regret and said, "That's true, but I was fascinated by it, and I got carried away when I saw this handwriting, and I didn't think more." It's a pity, such a good first-hand font. ”

Ye Jinyu quit, this was obviously written by Ouyang Xun, how could he deny it because of a poem, he couldn't help but argue: "I think this is what Ouyang Xun wrote, and Liu Zongyuan wrote Jiang Xue, but this one is called Hanjiang Fishing Snow; Maybe Liu Zongyuan copied Ouyang Xun? ”

Master Liu, I'm sorry......

After listening to Ye Jinyu's words, Professor Li really showed a thinking expression, as if he was considering the possibility of this kind of thing; After all, there are too many truths and facts buried in the long river of history, and who knows if the owner of this copy shop told the truth of the matter.

"Haha......" The old Taoist priest laughed, laughing until Professor Li was about to get angry, then he stopped his laughter and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Ye Jushi, you can look at the paper and ink of this pair of characters yourself, poor Dao is sure that it has not taken more than ten days since this pair of characters was written!" ”

Reminded by the old Taoist priest, Professor Li took a serious look at the paper, it is indeed a good rice paper, but this paper is too new, there is no sense of historical precipitation, and the ink, although it is a good ancient ink, but the water traces have not yet dried, not to mention ten days, Professor Li even suspects that this word was written yesterday.

The old Taoist priest said very reasonably, Ye Jinyu obviously knew that this word was written by Ouyang Xun, but he had nothing to say.

After saying that the two of them were speechless, Yuxi Daoist said: "Ye Jushi, poor Dao thinks, let's talk about the problem of this Tian Huangshi first." ”

Ye Jinyu looked at the words, and then looked at the head of Yuxi, and said in his heart that although it was important to correct the name of Old Man Ouyang, it was more important to make money by himself; Hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about these stones first." ”

Yuxi Daoist stroked his beard, and then said: "Poor Dao once said that day, a friend begged Tian Huang but couldn't, and when he heard Ye Jushi say that there was a way to get Tian Huang, he thought about buying a piece from Ye Jushi; At that time, I thought that strange stones were rare, and it was already great to be able to get one or two, but I never thought that Ye Jushi would get more than a dozen at once. If it's just a poor friend, I'm afraid I can only digest a few pieces; If Ye Jushi is not in a hurry, Poor Dao suggests that the layman take the route of auction. ”

"Auction?" Ye Jinyu only thought about getting more back and selling it for more money, but he didn't think that the digestion capacity of the market was also limited, and it would take a process to exchange stones for money.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes, it's an auction; If Ye Jushi is not in a hurry to use the money, Poor Dao recommends that these stones be carefully pondered by a master carver before being put on the market. ”

At this time, Professor Li, who reluctantly turned his eyes away from the calligraphy and painting, said: "I have a friend who is also asking for a piece of Tianhuangshi right now, but I can recommend it to the little boss." ”
