Chapter 115 Weird Seal
As soon as he entered the door, Cai Hongming saw a plaque with the three big words "Runxinzhai" hanging above the lobby of the shop. An old man in his sixties and seventies was leaning on the chair to read freely with the newspaper. ¤
Seeing someone coming in, the old man glanced at it and turned back to continue reading the newspaper.
Cai Hongming didn't care, so he looked around.
In summary, Runxinzhai mainly sells not fans, but four treasures of the study, and sells calligraphy and paintings, while fans are just one of them.
The fans here are divided into several types, including paper, cloth, silk, and even fan bones, plastic, bones, bamboo, and wood. Some fans paint things, some write words, and some leave blanks. The white fan is mainly for some talented guests to write themselves, or write them for the guests and draw what they like.
He looked and bought a silk fan with white space on one side, made of sandalwood as the bones, and embroidered on the other side with a famous figure of a graceful and gentle woman.
He had learned calligraphy from his grandfather before, and although his calligraphy was not very good, it was not ugly. So he borrowed pen and ink from the shop owner and wrote on the white fan. After writing it, he looked at it and felt strange. He looked at the fans next to him, and it turned out that there was a red mark missing.
So he asked the shop owner: "Boss, do you have any seals engraved here?"
Just kidding, how could it be that there was no good seal on the antique street?
The shop owner glanced at him again and pointed to a wooden cabinet next to him. There were some seals he had collected. Some were carved incorrectly, but they were of good quality and felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so they put it there for sale.
Cai Hongming walked to the cabinet and found that the seals were in a mess and did not take care of them carefully. There was a thick layer of dust. However, he came to buy things, and these things were not his business, so he picked up a seal and looked at them. The words on the seal were engraved on the opposite side. Some of them knew, and some didn't, so he had to ask the owner. He looked at them with disdain. He probably said in his heart that he was really not good at it!
After reading a few seals that I didn't like, I didn't want to waste my time and planned to choose one of them.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the jade bead between his eyebrows suddenly reacted. However, this reaction was very dull, almost nothing, if he hadn't been careful, he would have missed it.
After the incident with Jade Pixiu and Earth Marrow last time, he found that if he encountered something containing spiritual energy, the jade beads would shine. The more spiritual energy, the brighter the light it emitted. On the contrary, it would remain motionless. Judging from the reaction of Jade beads, the item should contain very little spiritual energy this time, otherwise it should have a reaction before entering the store.
I don’t know which seal contains spiritual energy, so he picked it up and identified it one by one, and finally found a breath that made the jade bead react on a strange seal.
The seal is quite strange. There is a seal stone below, but it is covered with copper skin on one centimeter. The copper skin is covered with copper rust, which looks very strange. This time, he recognized the words on the seal, called "Eight-foot-man." Crack, what a broken seal? Such a strange name is very consistent with the words he wrote.
So he took it over and asked the shop owner, "How to sell this seal?"
When the shop owner saw the seal he was holding, he couldn't help but glance at him again, "Five hundred."
"It's too expensive, boss. Look, the stones under the seal are not good, and there is a layer of copper skin on it. They are so rusted that they have to be so expensive. Can they be cheaper?"
Of course, the shop owner knew that this print was not a good product, and he would not still let it grow dust on the good stuff, so he was very conscientious and reduced it to twenty.
Cai Hongming felt a toothache when he heard it, what's the point of twenty yuan?
"Boss, you are too stingy. You have the nerve to say it if you lose 20 yuan. Two hundred yuan at most. If you want, I will buy it. If you don't want it, forget it." Cai Hongming said, and he was about to put the seal back. When the owner saw it, he quickly stopped him. It was rare to have a fool to buy his pile of ragged things. Isn't he sorry for the conscience of the industry if he doesn't sell it?
Cai Hongming paid the money, then borrowed the seal from him and printed it on a few words he wrote. The fan page was indeed much better.
After printing, he suddenly felt that the seal in his hand was strange, and the layer of copper skin outside seemed to move.
He pinched it. Perhaps because of his strength, the copper skin was loose, and the stone on it fell from the inside. He quickly caught it with his hands, but found that something was really wrong with the seal. The stone originally covered with a layer of copper skin was like ordinary bluestone, with traces of time on it and was mottled. But after taking off the copper skin, except that the two centimeters below were the same as before, a stone of completely different from the one below was exposed on it.
The seal on it is golden in color, as crystal clear as amber. In the sunlight, you can see a little nameless aura rolling inside, as if it is spiritual energy.
However, this spiritual energy is very little, and it is optional to him.
Since absorbing the marrow obtained from Western Xinjiang, the jade beads have basically returned to normal and are no longer in danger of being broken. He doesn't have to worry about trying to absorb spiritual energy, so even if he knows that the jade beads will shine with spiritual energy, he is too lazy to look for it.
After looking at the seal stone in my hand, I felt that the blue stone below and the golden stone above were connected, which looked awkward.
So he grabbed two stones and wanted to separate them.
"stop."
He wanted to exert force, but the boss who was stunned by the sight of him finally woke up and shouted as if his parents had died.
The shop owner called Chi Bugui, and this family business was passed down from ancestors.
As for the elderly, there is a generation gap between young people. So when Cai Hongming came in stupidly, he was not very happy. He saw him recklessly buying fans to write and seal, and buying seals, and he was even more disliked. Unexpectedly, this boy he didn't like actually found the treasure from his unused seals. Just now, when Cai Hongming took the seal stone to shine against the sun, he also saw it. The light really blinded him. With his decades of experience, he still didn't know what the stone was in Cai Hongming's hand.
Chi Bugui can be said to have arrived at Cai Hongming at a flying speed and asked sternly: "What do you want to do?"
"Splitting them apart!"
"Can you divide this way? Do you know what this is? Do you know that it will break it like this? What if it breaks? Don't you feel distressed?"
Cai Hongming didn't know what to say about Chi Bugui's crackling questions. He didn't know if the old man had taken rat poison and was so angry.
After saying that, Chi Bugui seemed to know that there was something wrong with his speech, so he quickly calmed down and said, "Young man, come on, put the things on the table and let me see."
Cai Hongming thought: I didn't lose much after looking at it. This old man could not snatch things from his hands, so he put the seal in his hand on the table.
Chi Bugui didn't take it, but took out a magnifying glass from the side and looked at it. This seal stone is not an ordinary seal stone, but a Tianhuang among the stones, and it is not an ordinary Tianhuang stone, but the best among Tianhuang stones, Tianhuang frozen. Looking closely, Tianhuang frozen stone is crystal clear, gentle, pure and thick, and contains essence, which is in line with the fineness, clean, moist, greasy, warm, and condensed of the six virtues of the seal stone, and is worthy of being the "Emperor Stone".
Although Chi Bugui opened a store, he has only seen such top-quality Tian Huangwu twice, once at his old friend's house, and once today.
He was determined to buy Tian Huangshi in Cai Hongming's hand, but unfortunately he was not strong enough, so he could not do it with his financial resources. Even so, it would be good to show off to his old friends after a while. Thinking of it, he picked up the phone and started calling him.
"Hey, Lao Cang! What are you doing... Come here soon, come here, show you good things, I don't care if I miss it."
"Lao Shou, where are you at home!... Come here, I'll make sure there is something here that is better than the pile of rags in your house. It's too late."
"Old Tang, you're drinking tea again!... Come to my side, I'll show you something good, so you can drink the fairy flavor when you drink tea."
After the fight, when he saw Cai Hongming beside him, he remembered that the seal stone belonged to him and hurriedly said, "Young man, wait a moment, I will ask someone to come and take them off for you. You can't do this thing casually, it would be a pity if it breaks." After that, he went to make tea to entertain Cai Hongming.
