Chapter 494 The irreparable crack
However, when Meng Yan carefully inspected the crack again, he discovered that the crack was an extremely hidden crack.
If it weren't for Meng Yan's amazing eyesight, I'm afraid even people who specialize in stone betting would not notice its existence.
Meng Yan looked at the crack, his expression getting darker and darker, and a feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart.
This crack seems to have been deliberately damaged. There is definitely some secret hidden in this rough stone.
Moreover, the structure inside this rough stone should have been hollowed out from certain places. It is simply weird that such a large rough stone has only one crack, and moreover, there is another crack.
Many images quickly flashed through Meng Yan's mind.
He recalled the fragments he had just seen around the original stone. Among those fragments, there seemed to be a line dividing the entire original stone into two halves.
Could it be said that this line caused the internal changes in this rough stone?
Where does this line lead to?
Meng Yan's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, Meng Yan withdrew his gaze and continued to carefully examine every inch of the original stone to see if he could find any other clues.
"There are words on the base of this rough stone!" Meng Yan murmured to himself in a low voice, then stretched out his finger to point to the base of the original stone and carefully observed the words on it.
It was a line of very delicate small characters, and it said the name Wang Laowu. It looked like he was an engraver.
This rough stone has the patterns carved by Wang Laowu, but the material and color of this rough stone do not match. Therefore, Wang Laowu only carved the surface, and some strange patterns on the inside. It was not used for mining.
Jade stone tools.
After carefully looking at these lines, Meng Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that this rough stone contained a piece of glass with imperial green color. He had never seen this method of carving directly on the original stone before. Therefore, he subconsciously thought that this kind of imperial green rough stone would be...
There was some kind of mechanism or formation, but after reading this line of small characters, he realized that this was a unique carving method designed by the sculptor himself.
This carver was very smart. He used carving tools to carve many strange patterns on the stone, making the entire rough stone look different, making it impossible for people to tell what it was.
This Wang Laowu, the carver who carved this rough stone, should be a very outstanding carver.
"The carving technique is so superb. If it can be completely carved, this rough stone will definitely be sold for a good price!" Meng Yan secretly murmured in his heart.
Even so, this rough stone is also a priceless piece of imperial green. Meng Yan thinks that he can buy this rough stone, and then find some carvings and continue carving along the lines of the Wang Laowu. If it looks good, he will give it to Duo'er.
As a toy.
Thinking of this, Meng Yan decided to use the rough stone he bought before to compete with the bachelor. He would keep this semi-finished product until the right time, and then take it out for carving and continue to turn it into a finished product.
Counting that time was almost up, Meng Yan returned to Jieshi District again, waiting for the duel with the bachelor.
In the stone-solving hall, except for the stone-solving master, there were only about thirty people left. Probably because of the competition, the hall seemed very quiet, and you could clearly hear the sound of a pin falling on the ground.
Master Jie Shi's face looked a little solemn. The old man standing next to him was clearly the manager of this rough stone market. Although his face was expressionless, you could see from his tense body what he was feeling at this time.
Also full of expectations.
"The competition is about to begin!" The bachelor's voice was full of excitement and excitement, and he seemed to be very confident in his choice.
"What, are you scared?" The Cui friends who were watching immediately began to ridicule, since they couldn't stand this bachelor.
Meng Yan took a deep breath to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart. He knew that his challenge was about to begin.
This time he will definitely win the stone solution, for sure!
At this time, the stone-cutting master had already put the bachelor's rough stone into the cutting machine and cut it off piece by piece.
The gears of the cutting machine rotate slowly while cutting the stone.
As the rotation speed of the stone cutting machine increases, the cut stones also rotate.
This rough stone is two meters long and one and a half meters wide. It is a very big piece.
Meng Yan stood in the front row of the stone cutting area, his eyes fixed on the stone cutting machine, watching the gears of the cutting machine continuously rotating, gradually reducing the thickness of the original stone.
Soon, everyone's attention focused on Meng Yan and the bachelor.
In their opinion, Meng Yan's chances of winning this time seemed to be higher.
After all, Meng Yan has been in a lot of limelight recently, and with the support of the caravan, everyone naturally turned their attention to Meng Yan.
And that bachelor had already been disliked by everyone because of his previous words and deeds.
"Master Bachelor, are you ready?" Master Jie Shi coughed lightly and asked.
"Yes." The bachelor agreed lightly, clenching his fists with both hands and staring at the cutting machine.
He is bound to get this rough stone!
As the gear rotates slower and slower, a flash of green appears.
The people around stopped their discussion and all stared at the green color.
The bachelor glanced at the rough stone and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. This time, he should be able to win.
"Click..."
Suddenly, the cutting machine made a harsh metal friction sound.
The bachelor suddenly raised his head and saw that there was a crack in the original stone!
"How is that possible?"
The bachelor stared at the gears of the cutting machine with wide eyes. He never thought that there was such a huge crack in the middle of the stone.
"What's going on?!" The onlookers were stunned.
The master of stone cutting was also stunned. He looked at the cutting machine and then at the original stone, with a confused look on his face.
The bachelor was also dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
"Impossible! This must be an illusion!"
The bachelor shook his head with a look of disbelief on his face. He felt that there must be something wrong with the rough stone.
However, the fact was before him. He did watch the knife go down and cut through the stone skin with his own eyes.
"how so?!"
The bachelor's legs were a little weak. He staggered back, his face turned pale, his feet went weak, and he sat down on the ground.
Chapter completed!
