"Uncle Wang is right." Xi Mengyao also spoke at this time, briefly explaining the process of stone cracking: "Generally speaking, stone cracking is divided into three steps: rubbing the stone, cutting the stone and grinding the stone. First, you have to work on the stone.
Wipe the hole and observe the situation inside. Only after you have made a rough judgment can you start cutting the stone. But it would be too much for you to cut the stone into four pieces with two knives horizontally and vertically as soon as you get up!
"
"It turns out that cutting the stone is so complicated..." Lin Yang scratched his head. He really didn't know how to cut the stone. "But we don't need to make it so complicated. We should cut the stone according to the method I told you before.
Well. Anyway, you all think it is a piece of waste stone without jade, and you are not afraid of it being cut into pieces."
The reason why he insisted on his opinion was not that he was stubborn and refused to listen to advice, but that he was confident.
When he first entered Baishi Hall, he summoned Chen Shiwen from the jade slip.
Because it is indoors and does not have to face the sunlight directly, Chen Shiwen, a ghost scholar, can stay outside the jade slips for a while.
Although the surface of the original stone can block the sight of living people, it cannot block the disembodied ghosts. Chen Shiwen easily extended his soul tentacles into the stone and looked at the specific location, size, shape and other information of the jade material inside.
He made it clear and gave a detailed description to Lin Yang.
Although the stone has not been cut yet, Lin Yang already has a general understanding of the situation inside the stone.
That's why he made the request of making two cuts horizontally and vertically, which seemed very unprofessional and unreliable.
"Okay, I'll do as you ask."
Although Uncle Wang didn't know that Lin Yang had grasped the situation in the stone, he thought what he said was reasonable. Anyway, there would be nothing in this stone, so just cut it as you like.
Holding the stone, Uncle Wang quickly walked to a jade cutting machine.
After briefly debugging the equipment, he placed the stone on it and fixed it, then pressed the switch, and a buzzing sound of the blade rotating immediately resounded throughout the room.
It can be seen that Uncle Wang is a veteran in the field of stone cutting. He is very skillful in operating the jade cutting machine, and he cut the stone into four pieces in a few moments.
There is no trace of jade in the four-petal stone.
This result was not what Xi Mengyao expected.
"You see, I have long said that there is no jade in this stone, but you just don't believe it." While saying this, she was still gloating in her heart: "Who told you not to believe me? You should regret it now.
Right? Humph, let’s see if you still dare to look down on me!”
However, she soon became confused again.
Because instead of feeling disappointed or regretful, Lin Yang was still smiling.
There is a kind of confidence in that smile.
It seemed that everything was under his control.
"How can this person still laugh when there is obviously no jade material?"
Before Xi Mengyao could ask the doubt in his mind, Lin Yang reached out and picked up one of the cut stones, gestured to Uncle Wang and said: "Please, help me cut this stone again. From this
Cut at the right position, don’t cut too much, just about one centimeter is enough..."
Although he was very puzzled as to why Lin Yang persisted, and also wondered why he had such detailed requirements, Uncle Wang did not ask any more questions, nodded and said 'ok', and then took the piece of stone.
After the fist-sized rough stone is cut into four pieces, the volume becomes even smaller. In this case, the jade cutting machine is no longer suitable.
Uncle Wang turned around and took out a set of tools from the tool box next to him, preparing to manually dismantle the stone.
Uncle Wang has been immersed in the jade industry for decades, and his ability to manually break stones is, if not miraculous, at least outstanding. It is more than enough to break open this small piece of stone.
Soon, he followed Lin Yang's instructions and cut a hole about one centimeter deep in the stone, which was only two fingers wide.
A bright green light suddenly bloomed from the newly opened opening, dazzling the three of them.
"There is actually jade material."
Xi Mengyao and Uncle Wang exclaimed because of this unexpected scene.
After being surprised, Uncle Wang quickly calmed down.
Because he knows very well that in the jade and antiques industry, mistakes are inevitable.
Although this time, several experts collectively looked away...
In comparison, Xi Mengyao is not so easy to calm down.
She had always vowed before that there could be no jade material in this stone. The bright green light that appeared at this moment made her feel like she had been slapped in the face, and her face was burning.
For Xi Mengyao, who is eager to prove his ability, this is undoubtedly a blow.
However, as Uncle Wang skillfully peeled off the stone layer and gradually revealed the jadeite hidden inside, Xi Mengyao also forgot about the blow she had just suffered, and was completely immersed in this intoxicating green.
This emerald green is as clear as blue waves, without any impurities or flaws, and its beauty is intoxicating.
Uncle Wang was surprised and quickly took out a small flashlight from the tool box and shined it on the exposed green.
A shocking scene appeared.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, most of the jadeite still hidden inside the stone actually showed a magical translucent effect. Through the exposed part of the jadeite, you can even vaguely see the condition of the stone layer below.
.
"This kind of intoxicating emerald green and translucent effect without any flaws can only be found in Laokeng glass jade from Myanmar. Unexpectedly, there is still such a piece of jade hidden in this stone that everyone regards as waste stone.
Baby, little brother, you won a fortune this time! It’s a pity that you are a little small. It would be better if you could be bigger..."
While sighing, Uncle Wang's hands were not idle. He used the stone-breaking tool again and quickly peeled off the stone layer covering the jadeite so that its shape could be fully revealed.
When the jadeite was fully exposed, the three of them were completely stunned.
Even Lin Yang, who had learned about the situation of this jade through Chen Shiwen, was shocked and speechless for a long time.
The reason why the three of them were so shocked was not because of the quality of this piece of jade. After all, they had seen many treasures. Although the Laokeng glass jade was precious, it was not so shocking that they were collectively stunned.
What shocked them and made them lose their minds was the shape of this jadeite.
Generally speaking, the shape of jade material extracted from the original stone is irregular, and it needs to be carved and processed by jade masters to present various shapes of characters, flowers, plants, birds and animals. And this is also an idiom.
The origin of 'jade cannot be made into a useful tool if it is not cut into pieces'.
But at this moment, the piece of jade displayed in front of the three people broke the rules and had a natural shape!
This piece of jadeite is in the shape of a long strip and looks like a seal.
If it were just like this, it would not be called strange. What is really shocking and incredible is that on this jade seal, there is a powerful and ferocious monster snake with nine heads!
This nine-headed monster snake not only has clear scales, but the expression on the snake's head is also very vivid and expressive. At first glance, it looks like a living creature.
To carve out such a piece of jade that can be called a work of art, a master with profound skills must spend several years carving it carefully. However, this jade seal entwined with nine strange snakes is not carved by humans, but
It is purely natural.
How can such a thing not make people feel bizarre and deeply shocked?
The miraculous craftsmanship of nature is truly amazing.
More than ten minutes passed before the three of them woke up from the state of shock and confusion.
"Good thing, this is really a good thing! Although the Laokeng jadeite is rare, it is not unusual. What is really strange is its purely natural shape. Especially this nine-headed strange snake wrapped around the seal,
It's just like the real thing. I have been working in the jade industry for more than 40 years, and I have seen many newly extracted jade stones. This is so bizarre that it is unbelievable. This is the first time I have seen it..." Uncle Wang shook his head.
said.
Lin Yang held the Nine-Headed Snake Seal in his hand, observing its magical natural appearance and feeling the pure spiritual energy emitting from it. He suddenly asked curiously: "Hey, Uncle Wang, what do you think of this jade seal?"
…How much could it be worth?”
"What, do you want to sell it?" Uncle Wang's eyes immediately lit up and he said excitedly: "Why don't you just sell it to our Baishitang. In terms of price, we will never treat you badly, we will give it to you
This number." He stretched out his hand and made a sign of three: "How about three million? If it weren't a little smaller, the price would be much higher."
The price of a stone bought for one hundred and thirty yuan has soared to a high price of three million in a blink of an eye... No wonder there are so many people who are crazy about gambling on stones and would not hesitate to spend all their wealth to take a gamble. Although it is risky
It's very big, but the huge profits contained in it are enough for people to take risks to gain a chance.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I just asked casually, and I'm not planning to sell it."
A jade article with pure spiritual energy is not only an excellent material for making jade mountains, but it is also of great benefit to one's own practice.
If I sell this jade seal, I really don’t know how long it will take before I can encounter another jade with spiritual energy.
How could Lin Yang do the thing of losing the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds?
Not to mention three million, even if it was tens of millions, he wouldn't sell it!
No matter how much money you have, is it as important as practicing? Can it be as important as awakening Sun Xiaoyun?
"You don't plan to sell? Why? Are you not satisfied with the price? We can still discuss...really not selling? Well, this is my business card with my mobile phone number on it. If you change it in the future
Please remember to call me if you have any ideas, the price is negotiable!" Uncle Wang, disappointed, took out a business card from his pocket and forced it into Lin Yang's hand.
