Chapter 19 Old Pit Rough Stone
Many people know that the three-story duplex villa of the Xia family manor is exquisite and unique. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But few people know that in fact, this villa has as many as six floors.
The other three floors are downward. Li Xiang entered the elevator and realized that this beautiful building turned out to be different.
For decades, all the treasures collected by Xia Rongqi have been placed here. Correspondingly, the anti-theft level is also the highest: high-definition camera, infrared induction, vibration meter and other advanced anti-theft equipment, everything, and the medical equipment in his bedroom has a fight.
After receiving the favor of three immortal peaches, Xia Rongqi felt that in front of Li Xiang, the Xia family should no longer have secrets, and with the power of others, no secrets could be kept.
So starting from the first floor, he decided to show all the treasures he had collected over the years.
The first floor is a literary game, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ceramics, etc., Li Xiang has no interest, because the two eras are 10,000 years apart, the corresponding cultural system and foundation are completely different, now it seems that only the ancient seal is common, for the text he is also the degree of understanding.
Hurried by, to the second floor, placed copper and ironware, Shang Ding, bronze Hu, Warring States swords, etc., all of which are high-quality products, but these things are in front of the sword of hatred, and its craftsmanship is simply scum, don't look at it.
The third floor is the Xia family's treasure, and it is also the center of their business - jewelry and jade. Under the light, the red of bloodstone, the white of mutton fat jade, the green of imperial jade, the black of sand ink jade, the yellow of super beeswax, all kinds of colors shine brightly.
In Li Xiang's eyes, they are all starlight stones of various attributes, and these are the things he wants to see, and he appreciates the past one by one. However, he couldn't help but shake his head every time he looked at one, almost all of the starlight stones had been carved, and although they embodied the most beautiful side, they destroyed the internal structure, and after a long time of placement, the aura had disappeared.
In particular, there is an imperial green hollow ball, the size of a fist, carved out of three layers, a large ball set of small balls, beautiful under the light, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of the carver.
This is the first time Li Xiang has seen the lower grade wood attribute star stone, but there is not much spiritual energy stored now, which is a pity.
must go to Myanmar as soon as possible, seeing the baby being ruined, Li Xiang is more determined in his heart. I didn't want to look any further, and asked to go to the rough area.
Xia Rongqi didn't understand why his mood had changed significantly, this room was full of treasures, and he thought he would look at something, but he didn't expect people to look down on him at all. And he shook his head and expressed dissatisfaction with the jade he was most proud of, which made him very frustrated.
Gather your mood and lead Lee Sang-sang to a spacious room where many stones of different sizes and shapes are stacked.
From the mining method, there are two kinds of jadeite rough, one kind of mountain material, which is dug directly from the rock layer, and the details inside are already clear at a glance, and the other is the stone that rolls down the mountain stream and ravine, due to geological reasons, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the skin has been weathered, and the surface of the ordinary stone is exactly the same, which is called seed material.
Since the inner and outer materials of the seed material are actually the same, there is no instrument that can detect it, and if you want to know the details of the inside, you must erase the weathered skin on the surface.
As a result, a thrilling way of buying and selling has emerged - gambling stones, the so-called one knife heaven, one knife hell, is to describe its risk and excitement. Correspondingly, as long as the bet is won, the return is quite rich, and it is possible to get rich overnight.
But ten gambles and nine failures, there is a saying in the circle that it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade, which shows the gambling nature of gambling stones.
However, this sentence is not right for immortal cultivators.
As long as you enter the Transformation Period, the star power can be released, and it is not easy to detect a star stone. It's just that the rare so-called top jadeite is not even a star stone, and these high-ranking people disdain it.
Even Li Xiang can achieve this with the help of the characteristics of the Xuanming Water Body, but it is quite exhausting.
Seeing Li Xiang staring at these blue, black, mottled, or smooth rough stones, Xia Rongqi felt that he had the obligation to become a tour guide, and only listened to him: "These rough stones have been accumulated by me in many cities over the years. Look at this ......."
He pointed to a half-human-high column-shaped rough stone, and said: "This is what I won five years ago, I won by betting with others in Tengnan, you see this pine flower, this green shadow, the possibility of being green is very great, at that time someone bid 70 million, I didn't sell it." ......ā
"Look at this piece again, I bought it in the capital glaze factory, don't look small, but look at this red mist, and this blood, it must be a piece of red ......"
"There is also this one, this one is the most interesting, it was ...... in Nandu last year"
When he talks about each stone, he is full of emotion, a kind of true feeling.
What Li Xiang admires is that he treasures every stone, these stones are no longer jade rough stones, they are a photograph, recording the footprints left after every city he has visited, only the real love to the bones, can do so affectionate.
There is a story behind every stone, and Li Xiang thinks that it is better not to do it? The Mountain of Light is enough to deal with the present.
After turning around, Xia Rongqi had already introduced a circle, and said: "There are some parts that I have solved, some have risen and fallen, in fact, the happiest thing is this process, how many pieces do you choose?"
After speaking, he showed an earnest gaze and was not pretentious.
Since the masters are so gracious and not stingy with their treasures, Li Xiang feels that he thinks too much, and it is not bad to pick and choose, and at this stage, he relies on these things to improve his cultivation.
Just like most stone gamblers think: what if it goes up? But when it comes to him, there is no such thing as a case.
Li Xiang nodded, in response to his invitation. He hurriedly touched each piece along the interior of the house, and when he sensed the wood attributes, he stayed for a few more moments. That is, in three or five minutes, he browsed through the accumulation of decades of others, and finally chose the smallest black rough stone, with bloodshot and trachoma on the surface, almost more than 20 catties.
Xia Rongqi was very disappointed, Li Xiang browsed it like a flower, obviously not taking his years of hard work to heart, more like coping with things.
In the past, Boss Xia had already turned his face, but thinking about the possible identities of others, he endured it, but he still said: "You're done reading it?"
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Is there a cutting machine?"
"This must be there, all the equipment is readily available, or I will help you untie it, I will tell you, this stone has a great chance of producing red jade, you see, from here, the knife will definitely not hurt the flesh...... Xia Rongqi said excitedly.
As a man of the hour in the shopping mall, the helmsman of Xia's Group, once he talks about jadeite and rough stones, he is immediately not calm.
Li Xiang just smiled faintly, ignored his self-talk, picked up the marker next to him, drew nine circles on the stone, one large and eight small, and said, "Uncle Xia, you can cut it into nine pieces according to the center line of these circles." ā
Xia Rongqi hurriedly said: "Are you sure, why don't we discuss it again?" Do you know, once this jade hurts the ......flesh, the meaning of the words is almost "Do you understand or do I understand?"
Li Xiang was silent, withdrew his arms and crossed his chest, and gradually faded his smile. He figured out that this gambling stone is really similar to buying a lottery ticket, and the probability is a little greater. The so-called principles and experiences are all fooling people.
From the circle just now, this pile of stones that Xia Rongqi treasured like a few families, there are only a few pieces that produce high-quality jadeite, as for the top, they only selected this one, and it has nothing to do with Hongfei.
At this level, it can also integrate the operation of Xia's jewelry, and Xia's Group has also been prosperous in the past two years, which is really incredible.
It seemed that he could feel the change in Li Xiang's attitude, Xia Rongqi hurriedly said: "Okay, buy it and leave, your things, listen to you!"
After saying that, I picked up the small door next to the stone and walked to it, and it turned out that there was a special operation room, a large workbench, cutting machines of various sizes, grinding knives, and a small water gun for washing......
Xia Rongqi picked up a medium-sized cutting knife, and according to the traces of Li Xiang's painting, he cut from the middle of the circle.
At first, I was cautious, and when I cut the first oval stone ball, I found that the bare side was white and flesh-colored, and there was no red jade at all.
Collapsed.
In a bad mood, there was no such fine desire, and according to Li Xiang's line, he quickly divided this rough stone into nine irregular stone balls.
However, even if there is no hope, the superb skills honed by years of calcite are still vividly reflected at this moment. All the cuts were strictly in accordance with the center line, and there was no deviation at all, which made Li Xiang very satisfied.
This is really strange, Xia Rongqi pulled the stone ball, like this kind of Pakang Laokeng rough stone, even if the gamble collapses, it should be brilliant, right?
He put down the cutting machine, his face was full of frustration, just now he was boastful, full of big talk in the industry, now it seems that it is simply a joke, apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I have lost my eyes on this stone, how about you continue to jump?"
According to Li Xiang's original intention, it was to take these nine stone eggs away directly, anyway, the role of the starlight stone is to provide spiritual power, and it has nothing to do with appearance. However, seeing his lost appearance, he decided to be a good person to the end, and said, "Uncle Xia, use a grinder to polish off the outer part of the scribing." ā
Xia Rongqi saw that Li was still more persistent than himself, and kindly advised: "According to our experience, if a stone is cut like this, even if it collapses, it will definitely be impossible to discharge, or ......."
Halfway through the conversation, he saw Li Xiang's smiling expression again, and said helplessly: "Okay, listen to you." ā
Pick up the largest piece with very few sidelines. Under the high-speed rotation of the grinder, the stone chips flew, and suddenly, a touch of bright green flashed, which scared his hands trembling, and the grinder almost didn't hold it, so he quickly stopped, looked at Li Xiang suspiciously, and quickly pulled the water gun to rinse and wipe the face.
Under the moistening of the water, a piece of bright green the size of a fingernail is revealed, and the bright dark color is bright and dripping, like the tears of a beauty, without a single flaw.
"Imperial Green!" Xia Rongqi couldn't help shouting, and after obtaining Li Xiang's consent, he opened six skylights on each side one after another, and his excitement made him dare not go under the knife.
Fortunately, there were no accidents, and under the cleaning of the water gun, all of them were flawless and bright green.
"It's really emperor full of green!" with a strong satisfaction in his tone, he has been operating jadeite for many years, and he has also seen many emperor full green materials, but like this super material weighing five kilograms, he has never seen it, it is really good to hear and have no regrets!
Thinking of the remaining stone balls, he asked, "Shall we open the rest?"
Just satisfy his curiosity, Li Xiang didn't want to waste any more time, and said, "No need, it's all the same!"
"It's all the same...... Xia Rongqi muttered, suddenly jumped up, his fingers trembled, and he was not excited when he opened the imperial green, and called: "You...... You can see the ...... Inside?"
Suddenly, he covered his mouth alertly, and subconsciously looked left and right, ignoring the stone dust on his hands, his eyes were round, and his eyes were full of surprise.
The reason why the gambling stone is called the gambling stone is because no instrument can see through the weathered skin, and now a person who can see through the original stone suddenly appears, it is like a nuclear bomb exploding in Xia Rongqi's mind, and the impact is huge.
Could it be that the laws of the jade world are going to change?
Li Xiang didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but said lightly: "Uncle Xia, let's go outside to rest for a while, I have a question for you?"
At this moment, his awe of Li Xiang reached its peak, and he strengthened the guess in his heart, and quickly nodded.
At this time, "Imperial Green?" followed by a more high-pitched voice, and Xia Xin appeared with a beautiful gift box.
Born in a jade family and educated in this area since childhood, Xia Xin understood the value of this stone at a glance, put down the gift box, rushed over to observe it again, and exclaimed again, the tone was exactly the same as his father: "Wow, it's really imperial green, what a big piece!"
"There are no rules, what kind of body is it to shout and shout!" Xia Rongqi reprimanded, in fact, he shouted louder just now, but now, he is becoming more and more respectful.
Xia Xin is very aggrieved, what's the matter? Dad seems to have changed his temperament a lot since he got well.
Xia Rongqi didn't care about her, and brought a gift box, and there was the mountain of light lying inside, and now it seemed that it was much inferior to the imperial green that had just been opened.
He placed the nine stone balls side by side with the Mountain of Light, picked them up, and led the way to the rest area.
The rest area is also fully equipped, the three of them sat down, and Xia Xin quickly made tea.
Li Xiang spoke first: "Uncle Xia, since you recovered from your illness, you have been very respectful to me, and you have not treated me as a junior, is there anything you can say about it?"
Xia Xin quickly raised her head and looked at her father, which was also what she wanted to ask.
Hearing the question, Xia Rongqi was startled, then lowered his head and was silent, and after a few minutes, he raised his head, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and stammered and asked, "Li ...... Li Xiang, are you from ...... From the fairy world?"
......
