Chapter Thirty-Three Music Score and Rusty Knife
Luo's goal is the knife and the strange pot, but it's best to leave the appreciation of these two in the middle, or at the end.
The first collection he chose was the stone statue of the Monkey, which is nearly one meter tall. It is an upright stone monkey wearing a pointed hat.
The craftsmanship of the carving is excellent, but not enough to make this stone monkey worthy of collection.
Evil face (genuine product)
Quality: Antiquity
Year: 612
This object is from the hand of the famous sculptor Fording, who likes to carve sharp-billed monkeys who are good at imitating human expressions. He has carved 139 stone statues of sharp-billed monkeys in his life, but all of them are good-looking works.
The Evil Face is Fording's 140th stone statue of a sharp-billed monkey. Its preciousness lies not only in its uniqueness, but also in its craftsmanship and raw materials.
...
More detailed information about Evil Face and Fording was kept in Luo's head.
Luo learned the relevant information about this stone monkey almost instantly, not only that, but a series of slightly blurred pictures flashed through his mind without warning.
In a room with bare walls, a decadent middle-aged man held a strangely shaped stone chisel, and in front of him was an unformed stone pillar.
Although the man's face was not very clear, he could feel the extreme madness coming from the man.
In the picture, the man is holding a stone carving chisel and doing the same movement in one position persistently. Besides, there are different pictures.
These strange images hovered in Luo's mind, as if a demon hiding in the shadows was whispering to him: accept it, accept it...
Luo slowly withdrew his hand, frowning slightly. This kind of situation had never been encountered before when he came into contact with the Hand of Ominous Omen.
If this is the spirit left by Fording, then the stone monkey should also have left his thoughts.
Since Luo turned his back to the elder, the elder did not see Luo's strange expression.
After standing still for about a minute, Luo suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned to look at the elder, and said, "This is a stone statue of a sharp-billed monkey made by the famous sculptor Fording. He carved 140 stone statues of a sharp-billed monkey in his lifetime. , I like to carve a straw hat on the head of each sharp-nosed monkey, only the stone statue of this evil-faced sharp-nosed monkey is the most special, whether it is its expression or the pointed hat."
"First of all, the mainstream of Fording's works is the good face. The first 139 stone statues of the sharp-billed monkey are all carved with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, smiling and lively expressions. Only the 140th stone statue of the sharp-billed monkey is carved with an evil face."
Luo stretched out his index finger, gently brushed across the faint blood on the stone statue's pointed hat, and sighed: "This is not only Fording's last work, but also a truly painstaking work."
"Although there are only 139 sharp-billed stone monkeys in Fording's works according to literature records, and no evil-faced sharp-billed monkeys have been carved, but the self-contained technique cannot be imitated, because the stone materials used are very special, So even the years can’t grind away the edges and corners, which is one of the reasons why it is easy to be judged as a fake.”
"However, there is no such thing as a fake of a skill that cannot be imitated."
"Judging from the time of Fording's death, the year of this evil-faced sharp-nosed monkey is about 600 years."
"Although this work has not been named in the literature, Fording's first 139 stone statues of sharp-billed monkeys are collectively named Good Faces. Then, the name of this collection will, as expected, be named Evil Faces."
Luo organized the information in his mind and his imagination into words, and tried his best to explain the information related to the evil face. As for the deeper information he got from the pictures, he would not reveal it at all.
If he leaves Meteor Street in the future, he will definitely go to Fording's address. The fragments of information revealed in the memory screen seem to be an unknown and strange score called...Darkness Sonata.
only,
After 600 years of changes, it should no longer exist there.
Still, Luo wanted to go and see.
The unknown, just like the whisper of the devil, is very tempting.
After listening to Luo's narration, the basement became silent.
Kuli and his companions stared at Luo with a hellish look, not expecting such a scene at all.
Almost half of the hill of bones next to the black dog was planted because of the stone statue of the sharp-billed monkey.
Kuli and his companions watched the pious master connoisseurs turn from living people into corpses, because they all identified the stone statue of the sharp-mouthed monkey as a fake.
The elder remained silent, but Luo could feel the astonishment in the elder's eyes, and judging from the reactions of Kuli and the two of them, they were probably right.
If Kuroro hadn't explained the Hand of Omen before, Luo Xing might not be sure whether the information displayed in the white smoke font was correct. Although he didn't want to admit it, Kuroro did help a lot.
"Continue." At this moment, the elder had already decided to let Luo survive, and wanted Luo to collect ancient and rare treasures for him.
became...
Luo calmly walked to the next collection, trying to absorb the thoughts of the knife and the strange pot under the eyes of the elders, maybe he could use rich language to attract their attention, in short, he was fooling Dafa.
The next collection is a silver bowl without any characteristics. Its value lies in the name engraved on the bottom of the silver bowl. It seems to be a famous warrior three hundred years ago, and the name on the bottom of the silver bowl is carved with fingers.
After Luo touched it, he learned about the silver bowl, but the weird picture did not appear again.
With a lack of interest, Luo didn't deal with the matter, and explained in as much detail as he wanted, which made the elders stunned for a while.
Just the identification of two collections has already highlighted the amazing value.
At this moment, the elder has regarded Luo as a true master of connoisseurship, and even his immature age cannot change this view.
After all, Meteor Street has never talked about age and appearance.
The third collection is the gold pen with extremely complicated hollow carvings. Regardless of the year, its appearance alone has collection value.
Similarly, the gold pen used by a certain royal family in this long history is the same as the silver bowl, and no memory fragments popped out of Luo's head.
After Luo told the name and year of the golden pen, Kuli knew that the elder would definitely let the past go, but his twin brother's feud would not end there.
As long as the elder recognizes Luo's value and assigns Luo, he will have plenty of opportunities.
At this moment, the elder's mood began to improve. Luo's value was beyond his expectations, and he was indeed a rare talent.
The fourth collectible item...a long knife with a rusty blade, is also a collectible item with traces of Nen left.
Luo's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he felt like stealing under the noses of others.
This is a very risky behavior, but he does not want to miss this opportunity.
This knife is about five feet long. It looks like a Miao knife. The blade is slender. There are black and red patterns on the handle, and there is no guard.
Under the light, the rust on the knife body formed round spots the size of tail nails, densely arranged in a row, like the spots on the body of a poisonous snake.
A rusty knife, a knife that has fallen and cannot kill people, and a knife that has finally become an ornamental item.
But... the spirit is not lost.
When Luo stretched out his hand, before his fingertips touched the blade, he felt a sharp edge, like a thin needle pricking his fingertips.
Luo was slightly startled, and when his hand touched the handle of the knife, his expression gradually changed.
At this moment, Luo had only one thought.
I want to... get this knife.
