Chapter 32: The World of Rosewood
The old man said very sadly, but An Xin couldn't help laughing and said, "Presumably, that Commander Xu is thinking that the more misunderstandings like this, the better." ”
The old man said a little stupidly: "He thinks that I won't give him such a chance again." ”
Although Old Man Song's words were very casual, and he was even full of complaints, An Xin could hear from his words that Old Man Song had a good relationship with these places and even the military region.
You must know that, generally speaking, local garrison troops will not interfere in local government affairs and public order, except in some special circumstances. And as we all know, now the rich people's homes, shops, factories and even financial institutions are equipped with infrared anti-theft devices, once there is an invisible thief to touch, it will be connected to the relevant security department, and then those patrol cars patrolling the street 24 hours a day will rush to the scene to catch the thief, generally less than three or five people, more than seven or eight people, but these things will never be mixed in by the local army.
However, once there is a change in the old man Song, it is the local armed force with the strongest combat effectiveness here, and it is still the military strength of a company, which shows how much attention the local government and the army attach to the old man.
An Xin was still thinking secretly, but the old man took her to the huge metal door, and it was a tedious process of fingerprinting, facial mask and so on. When this last door opened, An Xin had not yet entered, but she smelled a faint fragrance. The scent is neither synthetic nor floral, but woody.
An Xin felt that this fragrance was very familiar, and she suddenly realized after entering the door that behind this door was simply a world of red sandalwood, as large as tables and chairs, several shelves, screens, cabinets, boxes, as small as paperweights, pen holders, stoves, bottles, boxes, etc., there were at least two or three thousand pieces of large and small. Not only are each piece of exquisite carving, simple and elegant, but also thick pulp, showing a jade-like jewel, aura in all directions. It can be seen that these red sandalwood are old objects, and they will never be recent. To say that the value of the antique red sandalwood utensils in this room of "ten sandalwood and nine empticities, every inch of sandalwood and every inch of gold" is an immeasurable astronomical amount, no wonder it needs such heavy protection.
Among them, two rosewood armchairs and a red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern lacquered long table aroused An Xin's strong interest, the two armchairs are obviously different, only to see that the back of the rosewood inlaid sandalwood heart armchair is connected with a cloud pattern between the chair and the column, and the back plate is embossed with a kidnapper pattern outside the armrest, and the back panel is inlaid with sandalwood carved bat pattern, implying that the sky is full of blessings. The back and head of the other rosewood entwined lotus armchair are carved with a pattern of one centimeter thick Western-style curly grass pattern in the empty space, and the edges are decorated with moire patterns, which are very exquisitely carved. The two red sandalwood armchairs are carved with landscape figures, surrounded by water ripples embossed on the ivory plates, and the landscape scenery carved inside and outside the two armrests and on the back panels.
And the red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern lacquer long table, 170 cm long, 90 cm high, plain lacquer desktop, in addition to the desktop, the whole body with red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern as the skeleton, a total of 99 dragons of different shapes, different sizes, at a glance you know that it is the royal thing.
An Xin stroked it with some joy, and when she used her hand to carefully feel their delicate and oily texture, her mind suddenly remembered the strange changes that occurred when she inadvertently used internal force to wrap the jade cicada the night before, so she held the mentality of giving it a try, and secretly urged the internal force.
Suddenly, she felt a heat coming from the long lacquered table with red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern under her hand, and then passed through her palm and rushed into her limbs, just like last time, this heat gathered all the way to her dantian after warming her meridians, bones and muscles, and the vortex that was originally the size of a walnut in her dantian immediately spun at high speed.
The energy vortex rotated at high speed while frantically absorbing the huge energy from the red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern lacquered long table, perhaps because the volume of this table was much larger than the small jade cicada, so the energy it emitted was also much more than that jade cicada, and the energy vortex in her body was like a beast that couldn't eat enough to frantically absorb this energy heat flow, even An Xin herself wanted to make it stop, but she couldn't do it.
With the influx of this energy heat, An Xin's original white and tender little face exuded a faint fluorescence, her cheeks were faintly red, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she could clearly feel that the blood vessels and meridians in her body had become more flexible, her bones had become tougher, and her muscles had become tighter.
Seven or eight minutes passed, and the energy heat contained in the long table with red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern lacquer had been absorbed by her, and An Xin was pleasantly surprised to find that the energy vortex in her body was already the size of a fist.
"Hey, I'm on the second floor so quickly." An Xin said in a low voice of surprise.
"What are you talking about? It seems that you like this table very much, it is really discerning, this is an object used by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, when I first cast it, it cost me more than 60 million. Look at how delicate and superb the carving is. Its toning is so thick and shiny. Old Man Song didn't notice An Xin's abnormality, he thought that An Xin just liked this table, so he kept gently stroking it.
At this time, An Xin was forcibly poured into this energy, and she had a feeling that she wanted to vomit very much after eating, which was not very comfortable. She secretly thought, it seems that she has to go back and practice this Supreme Heart Sutra well, so that she can refine this sudden flow of energy into her own internal force, hey, this food is not so delicious. It turns out that these old objects that have existed in the world for a hundred, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, because they have existed in the world for a long time, will become a carrier in itself, absorbing the aura between heaven and earth. Therefore, the more ancient the thing, the more spiritual it will appear to be after removing the decay that it covers, of course, this is a feeling that ordinary people cannot see with the naked eye. And what An Xin absorbed from these antiquities was this spiritual power.
The old man saw that An Xin did not answer, thinking that she acquiesced to her words, so he was a little proud, you must know that the greatest pleasure of these collectors is that someone shares and appreciates the treasures he collects with him, in fact, there are five collection rooms like this in this villa, each of which has a different import, and is cleverly distributed in different places in the villa, and each collection room is a collection of treasures collected by the old man Song throughout his life.
He brought An Xin into this collection room to find something to give her, he happily took down a jewelry box that looked like a brocade from a rosewood multi-treasure pavilion, handed it to An Xin and said, "Girl, do you like it?" (Thanks again anna0626 for the tip)
