"Boss Wang, it's better not to stretch your hands randomly, otherwise it will be easy for people to misunderstand you?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Hearing this and looking at the indifferent young man in front of him, Wang Kun couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect that Xiaodong, you are so young and have such good kung fu. I really underestimated you before!"
"Both each other, each other! Boss Wang's palm skills are not bad at all, it really surprised me!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Wang Kun groaned in his heart, but at this time he also knew that he might not come back with this top-grade mutton-fat jade.
"I was so offended just now, and I hope you will forgive me. As for this piece of mutton-fat jade, since it has been sold to you, Xiaodong, I will not take it back! When the time comes, I will look for another piece and sell it to that person.
Got it!"
After listening to Wang Kun's words, Liu Dong smiled lightly and said, "Then I would like to thank Boss Wang!"
After shaking the jade in his hand, Liu Dong said again: "It's getting late now, so I won't delay Boss Wang's business and will leave first!"
As he said this, Liu Dong walked a few steps and when he came to the door, he turned around and looked at Wang Kun's livid face, and said with a smile: "By the way, Boss Wang, I can't send you off on my own terms any better than you!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Wang Kun forced a smile that was uglier than crying to appear on his face, and said with a trembling tone.
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile, opened the door and walked out.
"Humph, Liu Dong!!" Looking at the tall figure disappearing at the corner of the corridor, Wang Kun could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He held the check in his left hand and slapped it on the low table next to him. Immediately, this
The low cabinet, which was made of solid mahogany and would not decay for hundreds of thousands of years, was immediately broken into pieces by Wang Kun's slap. The contents inside also fell to the floor.
At this time, Liu Dong, who had already reached the entrance of Jinyu Pavilion and had already received the precious piece of Hotan mutton-fat white jade in the mustard space, also heard the noise coming from the west wing.
"Iron sand palm? It's a pity that if you don't practice properly, you will go astray in the end!" Thinking of Wang Kun's right hand that he saw just now, Liu Dong couldn't help but thought to himself.
Iron Sand Palm is an important Kung Fu often practiced by Shaolin Temple monks. However, it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are dozens or hundreds of schools associated with Iron Sand Palm in the current martial arts world.
However, no matter which company's training methods are basically the same, they are all practiced with iron sand and medicine. The palms are as hard as iron, the arms are lengthened and the strength is increased, and the opponent's skin, flesh, muscles and bones can be seriously injured. Those with strong skills can break bricks.
stone.
After practicing Iron Sand Palm Kungfu, the epidermis of the exercised part of the palm can be thickened, the adaptability of the muscles, bones and epidermal tissue to the external environment can be greatly improved, the wrist and finger joints can be flexible, and the strength of the muscles and ligaments can be increased, making them strong and powerful.
After practicing the iron sand palm to a high level, as the toughness of the skin membrane increases, although the hands can easily crack gold and crack stones, the palms are no different from ordinary people, not like Wang Kun at all.
Generally speaking, if the five fingers are almost even, the skin color is dark blue, and the calluses are thick, it means that you have not practiced the martial arts correctly, and the iron sand palm has no external manifestations of great success.
In fact, when he first met Wang Kun, he had already noticed the abnormality in his hands. However, at that time, he only thought that Wang Kun was an ordinary antique and jade merchant, and he had no idea that he could not master the iron sand palm on his hands.
Care too much.
However, thinking about the scene he just experienced, especially the secrets he saw behind Wang Kun's backstage, made him secretly guess that this usually stingy and fat guy was probably not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong couldn't help but shook his head in amusement, secretly blaming himself for being too curious. Even if Wang Kun was not an ordinary person, what if he was not an ordinary person? Even if he was a murderer, he had nothing to do with him.
"Bang, ouch!" Looking at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, Liu Dong came to his senses and asked quickly: "I'm so sorry, I was thinking about something just now and didn't see you. Uncle, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" the middle-aged man said with a somewhat impatient face. In fact, he was walking too fast just now and when he wanted to turn a corner, he happened to bump into Liu Dong who was walking on the roadside.
However, when he bumped into it, not only did he not hit Liu Dong, but he himself was ejected.
"Hey, this young man is too hard!" The middle-aged man thought to himself. Then he shook his head. This was not the time to think about this. After patting the dust on his butt, the middle-aged man subconsciously
He tightened the military green backpack in his arms, looked up at the plaque hanging on the roadside shop, and hurried in without paying any attention to Liu Dong.
Liu Dong, who noticed the middle-aged man's actions and originally thought that he might have to apologize more this time or even pay some money, couldn't help but feel a little stunned on his face.
He knows the strength of his muscles. Even though Liu Dong is only 1.8 meters tall and slightly thin, he weighs nearly 90 kilograms. Years of practicing meditation have tightened his muscles and bones to the extreme.
Extraordinary people.
Therefore, even if Liu Dong didn't use any force just now and the middle-aged man just bumped into him, he was definitely not the one who fell out and felt the pain.
"Baoyuexuan!" He looked up and looked at the store the middle-aged man had just entered. After thinking for a moment, Liu Dong also walked in.
Of course, having been in the Antique City for more than three years, he is very familiar with every store here. This Baoyuexuan, like Wang Kun's Jinyu Pavilion, both deal in antiques and jade, but the types of jade that Baoyuexuan deals in
Not as complicated as Wang Kun's Jinyu Pavilion, there is only one type of jade here, and that is Hetian jade.
Therefore, when Liu Dong walked into this store, he came in because of Hetian jade.
His original plan was to buy some good Hetian jade materials from Wang Kun to improve his jade carving skills. After all, jadeite is the representative of jadeite, and he has no shortage of it as a carving material.
But as the king of nephrite, he doesn’t have any piece of Hetian jade. The craftsmanship of jade carving in China is fundamentally still based on carving Hetian jade. After all, compared with the Hetian jade that has been flowing into China since the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
White jade, as well as the gradually developed jade craftsmanship. Jade truly became popular in China in the late Qing Dynasty.
Having said this, I have to mention that two women who once occupied a special position in Chinese history were the ones who made jade truly accepted by the Chinese people and developed into a precious jade that can be compared with Hetian jade today.
jade.
These two women were the Empress Dowager Cixi who once uttered the words of "better to be with foreigners than domestic slaves", which was humiliating and humiliating to the country, and pushed China into the abyss of corruption, and "Song Meiling" who was later the first lady of the Republic of China.
The Empress Dowager Cixi can be said to be the initiator of the jade trend in China, and her fascination with jade was unparalleled. Legend has it that a tribute from England at that time presented her with a large diamond tiara, but did not
This aroused the favor of the Chinese Empress. Another official who paid tribute to a small but exquisite jade ornament was favored. From then on, people from all over the country who paid tribute to the court chose high-quality jade as tribute to win her favor.
Later, according to the records of "Ai Yuexuan Notes" written by Cixi's confidant eunuch Li Lianying and the excavation data of the mausoleum, the jadeite that Cixi was buried with was exquisite and unprecedented. There were two jadeite watermelons at the feet of her body, about 15-20 centimeters long.
At that time, it was worth more than 5 million taels of silver; two emerald cabbage trees were worth 10 million taels of silver, and now they have become the treasure of the Palace Museum.
In addition, there are an emerald lotus leaf and four melons, 108 emerald Buddhas, emerald Buddhas, and peaches, plums, apricots and other treasures, a total of 200 large and small items. This shows that this person "listens to politics behind the curtain"
The extreme luxury of the rulers also proves the extent to which Empress Dowager Cixi loves jade.
Of course, as the greatest treasure of China in the 20th century, Cixi's collection is a hundred times more than what is mentioned above. However, I will not list them all here.
