A treasure-appraisal maniac

Chapter 1925 Gathering Smoke and Flowing Clouds

The second box revealed the Nine Exquisite White Jade Pagoda, and everyone was stunned.

"Wow!"

"beautiful!"

"Brother Fei, the carvings here are so complicated. How did you do it?"

"Yes Xiaofei!"

"I see there are twenty-four Buddhist niches and hundreds of Buddha statues inside."

"Moreover, the tower door seems to be alive. This is simply a stroke of genius!"

"I think Master Yue Qifeng can't do such a complicated carving, right?"

Everyone was amazed, and Lu Fei was equally shocked.

"Brother Yuan is right."

"There are a total of twenty-four shrines here."

"Three hundred and twelve Buddha statues."

"Including scented wax, tributes, thangkas, etc., the difficulty is beyond ordinary people's imagination."

"But, this is indeed what human beings call it."

"This is Master Zhang Yizhou, the top jade carving master in the Guangxu Period. He used a piece of mutton fat white jade and took nineteen years to complete."

"To complete this work, it can be said that Master Zhang Yizhou devoted all his efforts."

"After the work was delivered, Zhang Yizhou fell ill."

"After three months of treatment, there was no improvement, and he eventually passed away."

"At that time, this work was estimated to be over one million taels of snowflake silver."

"One tael of silver in the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to more than 700 yuan today."

"If any of you are good at math, you can calculate how valuable this thing is." Lu Fei said.

"Mom!"

"So valuable!"

"Brother Fei, no matter how exquisite this thing is, it's just a jade carving. How can it be worth so much money?" Xiao Ma exclaimed.

"No!"

"Although this is a jade carving, it is a unique piece that cannot be copied."

"This is the only one in the world, there is no more semicolon."

"This piece of work is extremely difficult."

“When carving, you must calmly and calmly

Eliminate distracting thoughts and devote yourself wholeheartedly. "

"If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

"Don't talk about Yue Lao, even if Master Zhang Yizhou is still alive, he may not be able to make another one."

"As the saying goes, rare things are valuable."

"No matter what the object is, as long as it is unique, its value will increase several times."

"What's more, this is one of Cixi Lafayette's most beloved treasures."

"It is also one of the nine treasures she brought into Dongling."

"According to historical records, when Cixi was dying, she especially emphasized that this pagoda should be placed on the left side of his face."

"What I want is that the soul can come out of the Niwan Palace and enter the pagoda to practice."

"With that old lady taking it so seriously, do you think it's worthless?"

"In addition, there is something even more magical about this pagoda."

When he said this, Lu Fei's crystal eyes flashed and he was extremely excited.

Seeing Lu Fei's expression, everyone was looking forward to it.

"Brother Fei, what else is magical about this thing?"

Lu Fei smiled and asked Zuo Xuesong to go back to the house and bring out a square table.

Everyone didn't know why and stared at Lu Fei's performance with wide eyes.

The square table was brought in, and Lu Fei took out four candles from his bag and placed them on the four corners of the square table.

Then place the huanghuali box in the middle of the square table, and then carefully place the Nine Exquisite White Jade Pagoda on top of the box.

When everything was ready, Lu Fei lit the four candles himself.

"Pony, turn off the lights."

"okay!"

The lights were turned off again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the pagoda.

A few seconds later, everyone was surprised to find that a thin layer of smoke was rising from the alarm bells on the four sides of the tower.

The smoke from all sides follows the flags and flags all the way up

, finally gathered on the top of the treasure.

For a moment, the mist and mist completely enveloped the top of the treasure.

Everyone was about to scream out in surprise, but saw that the smoke came to life.

It rotates and flows above the top of the treasure, constantly changing colors with the beating of wax fire. It is as beautiful as a fairyland, and even gives people an urge to worship.

"Amitabha, let me strangle you!"

"This, this, is amazing!"

"how so?"

"This is incredible."

"Brother Fei, why do I have the urge to worship?"

"Yes!"

"Me too!"

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

"Fuck you uncle, this is a Buddhist pagoda, and what you are reciting is the name of the Tao."

"Idiot, be careful of retribution!"

"Oh my god!"

"Sin, sin, sin!"

Zuo Xuesong quarreled with Xiao Ma, but this time it didn't attract everyone's attention.

Because everyone is still in the shock of the flowing smoke!

Everyone watched for ten minutes, and everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures, even Lu Fei was no exception.

"The smoke and clouds are flowing, this is actually real."

"What a miracle!"

"No, it's simply a miracle!"

Lu Fei was full of praise, and the others were even more fascinated.

"Xiao Fei, what's going on?"

"Is it really a miracle?" Gao Yuan asked in disbelief.

Lu Fei smiled slightly.

"Brother Gao, why have you become superstitious?"

"There is no such thing as a miracle in this world."

"Then what's going on?"

"It's really incredible." Gao Yuanmei

His head was locked with a puzzled look on his face.

"There are detailed records in Qing history about the imagination of the smoke and clouds flowing from the Nine Linglong Pagoda."

"For hundreds of years, people have given many explanations for this phenomenon."

"Some people say that the White Jade Pagoda is a piece of cold jade, and cold jade has the effect of condensing water vapor, just like when we eat ice cream in the summer, the white vapor coming out of the ice cream is the water vapor condensed in the air."

"But if the cold jade is exposed to the air for a long time, the temperature will rise. When the cold jade reaches normal temperature, it will probably lose its function of condensing water vapor."

"However, that is all so-called learning to guess based on thin air."

"No one has seen the phenomenon of smoke flowing with their own eyes, and no one can find evidence to refute it."

"Everyone saw it just now. The phenomenon just now was definitely not water vapor."

"So, this statement can be killed directly now."

"There is also a saying that the flowing smoke and clouds are a kind of floating treasure."

"Li Shangyin has a poem that goes like this: The warm sun in Lantian creates smoke, and the smoke here is a treasure."

"It's just that this kind of precious aura needs to be produced in a large jade mine, and a small jade-carved pagoda cannot produce the floating precious aura visible to the naked eye."

"So, this statement can also be denied."

"Actually, this phenomenon of smoke flowing is the result of a lost phantom sculpture technique."

"Skilled carvers can use the reflective properties of jade pagoda carvings, combined with the constant displacement of the human eye during observation, to produce a unique optical phenomenon of "gathering smoke and floating clouds."

"And everyone, because of different viewing angles and different standing positions, sees the smoke flowing on the tower differently every time."

"Just like where I was standing just now, I saw the light flowing from Baoding, like auspicious clouds flowing rapidly between a towering mountain."

"Brother Yuan, you are standing opposite me. I think what you see is completely different from what I see!"
