"What's wrong?"

Wang Guan and Gao Dequan were a little surprised, because in their impression, Yu Feibai was not the kind of person who would run away from battle. Instead, he was afraid that things would not be lively enough, so why would he stop him?

"Let me first ask clearly what the content of the assessment is." Yu Feibai said calmly: "If it is just about ceramic appraisal, I will just admit defeat. Although I don't want to admit it, I am really not as good as Wang Guan in this aspect."

"Don't worry." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "The association has also considered this situation. The content of the test is different for different appraisers. It can be roughly divided into four categories: ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade, and miscellaneous items. You can choose from them.

."

"In this case, there is no problem." Yu Feibai said with a proud smile: "Besides, I have a better proposal."

"What proposal?" Wang Guan asked confused.

"Let's go around, you go for the jade assessment, and I go for the ceramic appraisal." Yu Feibai said with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Isn't this fair enough?"

"Is this fair?" Wang Guan couldn't help but admire Yu Feibai's shamelessness.

Although Yu Feibai is better at jade appraisal, after all, he has followed Mr. Qian for two years, and he is not unfamiliar with the appraisal of ceramics. Even if he cannot pass the test of a senior appraiser, if he is an intermediate and has a junior certificate, there should be no problem.

In contrast, Wang Guan is slightly inferior in jade identification.

Of course, this was Yu Feibai's own idea. After all, in his opinion, Wang Guan had only been exposed to jade for a few months, and he had given him careful guidance. Even if there was a little progress, he would not be very good. If the appraiser's test is really

As strict as Gao Dequan said, Wang Guan would definitely not be able to pass.

"Don't you dare." Yu Feibai smiled treacherously, raised his head and puffed out his chest and said, "Wang Guan, it's not like you to be so unsure."

"I don't seem to have such a style." Wang Guan chuckled and said: "I know you are running against me and want me to agree, so I just... agree. So what? I may not lose."

"Eh, really?" Yu Feibai was a little surprised. When he saw Wang Jian nodding, he immediately slapped the case and shouted excitedly: "Great, Uncle De, you have to testify, lest he regret it later."

It can be seen that Yu Feibai was very excited, and he used his palms very hard. With one slap, the teacups on the table shook and a lot of tea was spilled. The box containing the eight needle-shaped keys also bounced.

Two or three keys fell to the ground.

"Is it necessary to be so excited?" Gao Dequan shook his head and chuckled.

"Of course." Yu Feibai geared up and said, "I finally got the chance to win against him. I must not miss it..."

While talking, Yu Feibai saw Wang Guan squatting on the ground and groping, and asked strangely: "Wang Guan, what are you looking for?"

"The key you threw away." Wang Guan couldn't breathe. Fortunately, the floor was very clean, as bright as a mirror, and the key didn't fall far, so it was easy to find it.

"I'm sorry." Yu Feibai smiled sheepishly, and then said in confusion: "By the way. I haven't asked yet, what kind of key is this? It looks so strange. What kind of lock is it used for?"

Wang Guan hesitated for a moment, feeling that both Gao Dequan and Yu Feibai were trustworthy people and had no intention of hiding anything. Then he smiled and said mysteriously: "This is the key to opening the treasure box."

"Treasure box?" Yu Feibai was startled, a little surprised, and a little suspicious: "What treasure box?"

"I don't know. I just made the key and haven't had time to open it yet." Wang Guan shook his head and felt a bit expectant in his heart.

"oh!"

Yu Feibai nodded slightly, his reaction was very cold.

This made Wang Guan a little strange. In his guess, Yu Feibai should be very curious at this time and couldn't wait to take out the box and open it, instead of lazily raising a cup and drinking tea like now, not exploring at all.

No thought at all.

"Don't you want to see what kind of treasure box it is?" Wang Guan simply asked.

"What kind of treasure box? As soon as you hear it, you will know that it is a trick." Yu Feibai sneered and said with disdain: "You want to fool me, but you still have a hundred and eighty thousand years to go."

"That's what you said, just don't grab it later." Wang Guan said with a smile, turned around and went back to the room. After a while, he took out the stone box.

Originally, Yu Feibai still had some self-doubt, but after seeing the stone box, he immediately relaxed. He leaned softly on the sofa, held his chin and smiled: "Wang Guan, you are too stingy, just pick up a stone."

Come on, it’s hard to fool people.”

At this time, Wang Guan was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Feibai's sarcastic remarks, because he knew that after a while, Yu Feibai would regret it. Then, Wang Guan straightened the stone box, and with some eagerness, he took out a tiny key.

, slowly penetrated into the hole in the gap...

"Crack!"

Wang Guan paid close attention, and after hearing a slight sound, he nodded with satisfaction, took out another needle-shaped key, and inserted it into the remaining holes one by one.

"Isn't this a stone?"

At the same time, Yu Feibai couldn't help his curiosity and couldn't help but come closer to take a look.

"Go away! Didn't you say it was meant to deceive people? Why are you still looking at it?" Wang Guan laughed and pushed his head away.

"Tch, if you don't want to look at it, don't look at it."

Although he said this, Yu Feibai's eyes peeked over from time to time, very curious. After all, an ordinary box can be opened with at most one key, but this stone box requires eight keys with completely different specifications. Really

very strange.

At this time, Gao Dequan hesitated and said: "Wang Guan, is this a mechanism box?"

"Probably." Wang Guan nodded slightly and asked curiously: "Uncle De, have you seen a similar box before?"

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen the real thing." Gao Dequan's eyes were full of surprise: "How did you get this thing?"

"I picked it up in Wuning." Wang Guan chuckled and made a casual joke.

However, Gao Dequan and Yu Feibai actually believed it and asked no more questions. After all, Wang Guan's strong luck has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not to mention picking it up, even if it fell from the world, it did not kill Wang Guan, but gave him a fortune.

A treasure. If the two of them heard such ridiculous things, they would probably be dubious.

Wang Guan was so happy that he stopped explaining and inserted the last key into the hole.

In an instant, there was a chirping sound, and the gap in the stone box that could not be opened no matter how hard it was before suddenly became loose. The lid of the tightly sealed box also floated upwards by a few millimeters.

At this time, Wang Guan was also a little excited. He gently reached out and picked up the lid.

"what is inside……"

Then Yu Feibai had forgotten his promise not to look at it just now, and moved his head closer, and saw that there was indeed something in the box, but this thing was wrapped in a layer of red silk, and the specific details could not be seen clearly.

appearance.

At the right time, Wang Guan was not in a hurry to take out the things to look at, but looked at the stone box. He saw that there were many hidden buttons around the box, and there were corresponding hidden grooves around the lid.

As long as the mechanism is touched, those hidden buckles will be like hooks, hanging tightly on the hidden groove, forming a tight lock.

Although the structure is simple, the lock groove is very fine, and the metal of the mechanism should be alloy. Otherwise, after such a long time, the iron will have corroded and rusted, and the lid can be opened without a key.

However, when he was thinking about the mechanism, Yu Feibai kept urging: "Wang Guan, don't be in a daze, quickly take out the things and take a look." With that posture, if Wang Guan didn't take action, he would take action himself.

"Why are you so anxious? You're not afraid that I'll fool you." Wang Guan teased, and then reached out to pick up the thing. As soon as he picked it up, he found that the layer of silk wrapped around the thing had become very crispy, and with just a slight touch

When touched, it peeled off.

Seeing this situation, Gao Dequan's expression became serious and he reminded: "Wang Guan, be careful, so as not to damage the things inside."

"Uncle De, don't worry, the treasure inside is very hard and not easy to break." Wang Guan said with a smile, tearing open the silk cloth in twos and twos.

In an instant, a rainbow of brilliance appeared in the hall, exuding brilliant colors, beautiful and very gorgeous.

"This is……"

Everyone looked over and saw that the thing in Wang Guan's hand seemed to be a mirror. But it was different from ordinary mirrors. The mirror surface of this mirror was a layer of flowing, crystal clear and dazzling glass.

"No, it's not glass, it's colored glaze." Gao Dequan was well-informed. After taking a look, he confirmed: "This is ancient colored glaze."

"Ancient colored glaze?" Yu Feibai blinked and said, "What is that?"

"You don't even know Liuli?" Gao Dequan frowned.

"I definitely know Liuli, one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. Wasn't it the Sha Monk in Journey to the West who was demoted to the mortal world because he broke one of the Jade Emperor's glass cups?" Yu Feibai said in confusion: "But the ancient method

Liuli, what’s going on?”

"One meaning is that in order to distinguish modern water-glazed glaze from ancient glaze, the glaze fired with ancient techniques is called ancient glaze." Gao Dequan explained: "The production process of ancient glaze is quite complicated and requires dozens of steps.

The process can only be completed. And it mainly relies on manual production. It is quite difficult to control each link. The difficulty of controlling the heat can be said to be half skill and half luck, so it is much more precious than ordinary colored glaze."

Yu Feibai suddenly realized it. He pointed at the glazed mirror in Wang Guan's hand and said with a smile: "In that case, the thing in Wang Guan's hand should be an ancient object. However, glazed glass was very precious in ancient times, but now it is not worth much."

"Don't rush to a conclusion, but what you say makes sense."

Gao Dequan smiled and said: "In fact, the history of firing colored glaze in ancient times can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. By the Han Dynasty, the level of making colored glaze was quite mature. However, the smelting technology was in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it has been kept secret. Because

It is difficult to obtain among the people, so people have always regarded colored glaze as a treasure more precious than jade."

"There are five famous utensils in China, namely colored glaze, gold and silver, jade, ceramics, and bronze. Among them, colored glaze ranks first, which shows how much everyone cherishes it." At this point, Gao Dequan shook his head and sighed: "However, in the Yuan Dynasty,

At that time, there was a gap in the production technology of colored glaze, so in the early Ming Dynasty, colored glaze became something that only appeared in myths and legends..." (To be continued)
