As soon as He Qing walked up, he noticed the group of strange stones. Of course it was for no other reason than that there was a relatively strong "treasure light" emitting from the stones. [This article comes from]
It can be seen from this situation that that group of stones is different from other strange stones on the stall. They should be old antiques collected by others and have been hidden for a certain period of time.
But He Qing couldn't see anything special about it, because apart from the shape made up of five gray-white "pebbles", there was nothing special about the stone. It could be said to be inconspicuous.
But since it is shrouded in a spiritual light, it means that it has a certain collection value, but the special features are not visible to outsiders.
At that moment, He Qing knelt down and stared at the stone intently. In an instant, a steady stream of spiritual light gathered in front of his eyes, and then, wisps of light quickly poured into his eyes.
Soon, He Qing captured images one after another, which were naturally about the ins and outs of that stone.
"Ah?! How could it be like this?!"
After reading it, He Qing was secretly shocked, because this was the most special antique he had ever seen, and he had never seen anything like this before.
"Brother Qing, what are you looking at? Do you like collecting strange stones?"
At this moment, Lin Haitao's greeting sounded in my ears.
He Qing immediately composed himself and turned around.
"It's okay. I'm still interested after seeing the better ones." He smiled.
Lin Haitao said with excitement: "The national strange stone market should be the largest in Nanjing, right? Brother Qing, if you had told me earlier, I would definitely get you some beautiful ones. There are indeed many strange and beautiful stones there.
And it’s good quality and cheap.”
"Well, I'll go and see it again when I have the chance." He Qing nodded.
"There doesn't seem to be much to see here." Lin Haitao lowered his voice.
He Qing said calmly: "Absolutely."
"Then which stone do you like?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing nodded and said: "There is a piece that I think is pretty good. I want to take it off and play with it."
"Oh, which piece is it?" Lin Haitao asked with interest.
He Qing replied: "That's the one made of five small stones."
As he spoke, he pointed to the strange stone whose true origin he had just examined.
Lin Haitao took a closer look, but he quickly shook his head and said softly: "Brother Qing, in my opinion, that stone doesn't look very good. Why do you prefer that one? That stone is so gray.
There’s nothing special about its shape, I’m afraid it’s just an ordinary pebble. It’s made up of at most five pieces, and it’s hard to tell if it’s artificially made.”
"I know." He Qing nodded and smiled, "Just have fun with it, it feels good to me personally. Besides, the texture of the strange stone can be an ordinary stone. It has its own advantages wherever it is strange. Just think it's fun.
"
"That's true." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement, "Brother Qing, since you like it, buy it and play with it. It probably won't cost much."
"Yeah. Let me ask." He Qing responded.
So he asked the stall owner, who was an honest man and didn't offer a high price. He said three hundred yuan.
He Qing agreed without hesitation. Then he took out 500 yuan to pay the stall owner.
"Young man, that stone only costs three hundred yuan. This is five hundred yuan for you." After taking the money, the stall owner said in surprise.
He Qing said with a smile: "Uncle, please accept it. The two hundred yuan is my additional labor fee for you. It is fate that I can see this stone, so I have to thank you."
"Thank you very much!" The stall owner hurriedly nodded and bowed to express his gratitude. It seems that he met a noble person today, and the offer was so generous. If it were another buyer, the three hundred might be reduced to two.
Under a hundred, who would have known that the young buyer in front of me not only did not counter-offer at all, but also gave an extra two hundred yuan. That is the style of a real big collector.
"You're welcome, that's right." He Qing shook his head solemnly.
At this moment, no one knows how much he likes this stone in his hand, because its magical origin makes people yearn for it.
After buying the stone, He Qing and the others turned and walked away.
Then they wandered around for a long time, but didn't receive anything good.
So they ate at a local specialty restaurant nearby and then headed back home.
After returning to the hotel room, He Qing took out the stone, placed it on the table, turned it over and admired it, as if he couldn't put it down.
"Brother Qing, what are you looking at? Is this stone that good?" Seeing He Qing staring blankly at the stone for a long time, Lin Haitao was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Haitao, I might as well tell you that this stone is really no ordinary stone!" He Qing said with a smile.
"Oh? How do you say that?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "There's nothing special about this stone, right?"
Hearing what He Qing said solemnly, he became suspicious and thought that maybe things were not that simple. He Qing had unique eyesight. Since it was something he was so sure of, could there be anything wrong with it?
But Lin Haitao really couldn't see anything, so he was full of doubts and just waited for He Qing to decipher the secret.
He Qing replied seriously: "Looking at the appearance, it is indeed very ordinary. It looks the same to everyone. It really lacks beauty, but its essence is far more valuable than its appearance."
"I don't understand." Lin Haitao shook his head blankly and said, "Brother Qing, just tell me, what is the secret of this stone?"
He Qing replied: "Haitao, let me tell you, this is no ordinary stone. To be precise, it is not a stone."
"It's not a stone, what is it?" Lin Haitao was even more surprised.
He Qing explained in detail: "It's a fossil, the skeleton left by a creature in distant ancient times. But this fossil is not the remains of an animal, but an egg. The egg was produced by some kind of creature at that time. If I
If you guess correctly, it should be a dinosaur egg fossil."
"You said this is a dinosaur egg fossil?!" Lin Haitao said in shock, "This...how is this possible?!"
He Qing said: "What's impossible? After hundreds of millions of years, dinosaur eggs have long become hard fossils. They look like stones. Some people don't recognize them and collect them as ordinary strange stones. This
Not surprising, right?"
This is indeed the case. The strange stone in his hand is a dinosaur egg fossil. It has been collected by archaeologists or related researchers before, but later it flowed into the market and became a rare stone for appreciation. However, due to its ugly appearance,
Astonishing, few people care about it.
If He Qing hadn't seen the ins and outs of it through his eyesight, he would have definitely ignored it.
When he saw the specific origin of the stone, He Qing was simply stunned. The antique was undoubtedly the oldest of all the antiques he had ever seen. It should be a product of the Jurassic period, although he could not
It is difficult to determine whether the creature that laid those eggs is a dinosaur-like creature, but basically it is almost the same. You can get a glimpse of it from the appearance of the creature that laid those eggs.
"That is indeed possible." Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly. "Although I have never seen dinosaur eggs with my own eyes, I have seen them from TV and books. There are big and small dinosaur eggs. The big ones are very big, but the small ones are very different.
It's small, about the same size as a pebble. Looking at the shape and color of this stone, it does look more and more like a dinosaur egg, and it's not just one, but a row of five in total!"
When he deeply realized this, Lin Haitao couldn't help but feel excited. This idea was exciting enough, because if the strange stone in front of him was made of five dinosaur egg fossils, it would be quite valuable for collection.
, definitely more than a mere five hundred yuan.
In this way, He Qing may have missed something again, and his vision is even more admirable.
"Haitao, you are right." He Qing said, "The five in this row are all dinosaur eggs, but they were arranged together and merged into a mass during the process of becoming fossils. Fossils are not only valuable for collection
, and has scientific research value, so this strange stone is very precious."
"Of course it's very precious, it's rare to see it!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily.
He Qing sighed and said: "It's a pity that the dinosaurs are extinct, and these egg fossils can't hatch little dinosaurs."
"Haha, maybe there is a living fossil in it." Lin Haitao said with a smile, "The eggs are still alive after hundreds of millions of years, and they can really hatch little dinosaurs."
"How is that possible?" He Qing shook his head. He knew that Lin Haitao was just joking. The so-called "living fossil" was just a way of saying it. He had never seen it before, and he didn't know if scientists had ever discovered a real living fossil.
However, it is indeed possible in theory, otherwise "Jurassic Park" would not be so popular, but after all, it is just something in the movie, and the possibility of it in reality is slim.
"No matter what, Brother Qing, congratulations, you got another good thing." Lin Haitao said with a smile, "Dinosaur eggs are an alternative collection. Most people can't receive such things. They are sold on the market.
Most of them are fakes, made of ordinary stones."
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, it should be."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Haitao walked away to do other things, while He Qing continued to sit there, curiously observing the five magical dinosaur egg fossils.
"Eh?!"
Suddenly, He Qing secretly screamed, because when he touched it with his hand, he discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, the temperature of the fossil in the middle seemed to be higher than the other four, and when he touched it, he felt "
The eggshell trembled slightly, as if something was struggling inside the eggshell.
"Isn't it really a living fossil?" Seeing this, He Qing was quite surprised.
He seemed to see a small, bird-like baby dragon about to break out of its shell.
