Chapter 343: Tasting and Appraisal by the Three Guys
Li Heng's gaze was attracted by Zhao Erwen's shout.

He found that the three tasters were a little different from the last time he saw them.

When Li Heng saw them last time, they were still three very energetic old men.

Long Huaishan, who is now the leader, is a bit hunched, his face is tired, and his steps are a little unsteady. Next to him is Gu Qing who is supporting him. It can be seen that Long Huaishan is old and suffering from minor illnesses.

The three old men came this way, not only Zhao Erwen and the others, but even Lin Weiya stood up right now and greeted them respectfully.

This kind of scene can be seen to appreciate the status of the three guys in Jiangcheng's antique circle.

Originally, the three old men planned to take a nap in the afternoon, but they were woken up hastily by the organizer.

Just when they wanted to lose their temper and hop around to drive them away, they were already dragged out of their shop by these people. On the way, they heard from the organizer that they encountered treasures whose origins were difficult to identify at the Treasure Fighting Conference .

What kind of treasure is this, even so many people don't appraise it properly?

Immediately aroused their curiosity, they didn't say much nonsense, just put on their coats and hurried over.

The three old men sat on the judges' table on the stage, surrounded by three stars.

At this moment, before the three old men spoke, someone brought the one-horned golden toad and the silk map to them, and they began to study these two treasures as soon as they sat down.

When the three old men got together to study, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the three tasters.

More than half of the people here know that these three old men have very strange tempers. If there is any noise, these people will definitely jump out first and ask them to stand outside and wait.

Apart from this, the treasure appraising abilities of these three old men are beyond reproach.

Therefore, in addition to respecting and admiring these three old men, everyone kept silent in a tacit understanding and watched carefully as the three men studied the one-horned golden toad and the silk map.

After about 5 minutes passed, the three old men took off their reading glasses and first stretched their motionless bodies.

Immediately afterwards, they all showed very ugly expressions on their faces, as if they were a little dissatisfied with Zhao Erwen and the judges, and reprimanded the judges with a stern voice: "I said that you still call yourself the master of various special appraisals! , as an old-timer in the antique circle, none of them can figure out what this is, I am so disappointed!"

Seeing that the three old men really lost their temper, their faces turned livid, lest they continue to lose their temper and offend someone.

Zhao Erwen took the initiative to be the poor young bird, and quickly said: "Old man, it's not that we don't know what these are, but why is this silk map painted in the sun, and what is the reason for the Big Dipper and it... ...That's why I invite you out of the mountain."

Long Huaishan first showed a disappointed look and said: "These treasures are indeed treasures from some time ago. Look at the gloomy wood of this Big Dipper Pearl. It has been buried underground for at least several thousand years."

"...And how did the silk map words appear? I think you didn't learn it well when you were in school."

Long Huaishan kept his expression on the face, but from his tone, many people present quickly realized that this shrewd appraiser had already seen the clue.

Sure enough, Ye Hai who was next to him picked up Long Huaishan's words and continued: "How this painting appeared is also a very simple scientific principle, and this matter is not as magical as you imagined, just do a small experiment and you will know. "

"Go to the glass house outside." The three old men first stood up and walked towards the outside of the venue, followed by a large group of people.

After a while, everyone followed Wu Lao to the temporary glass house outside the venue.

After arriving at the glass house, the three old men moved a chair and sat down, waved their hands, and said to Zhao Erwen who was closest to him, "Now, pour all the water."

Zhao Erwen didn't know what the three tasters were going to do, so he listened to him and obediently followed suit.

A clatter.

The mineral water in Zhao Erwen's hand immediately dripped on the silk map, soaking the whole silk.

The sunlight shining on the silk through the glass actually slightly changed the silk map.

"Look now, has he changed?" Long Huaishan said solemnly. "Has his painting disappeared and something else has resurfaced?"

Needless to say, when the silk map was soaked by water and the sun was shining on it, the wet silk map really lost its original content.

Zhao Erwen seemed to realize something at this time and said: "It turns out that this is not weird. He is based on a principle of refraction between sunlight and water. After this refraction occurs, the hidden picture on the silk map is revealed. Without touching the water With sunlight, this phenomenon would not occur.”

Long Huaishan looked at Zhao Erwen with a look of "you have finally enlightened", nodded and said: "Then there is the writing on the Big Dipper Bead. Everyone knows that this is a special skill called micro-carving, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, those who are immersed in carving and have experience can tell at a glance that this is a trace of micro-carving, and it is by no means a flaw.”

"Although the workload of these seven beads is not large, the person who can do this kind of carving technique is definitely a craftsman with superb craftsmanship. It is definitely not that simple to perform micro-carving on such a large place."

Everyone nodded after listening.

To carve small characters on such a small bead, to create so many mechanisms for speaking, and even to go to great lengths to hide the real other side of the silk map, it takes countless painstaking efforts, which is not something ordinary people can do owned.

"The wisdom of the ancients, the ingenious ideas of the ancients... It really is not something that people today can fully achieve." Someone sighed first.

On Li Heng's side, he was also shocked by the sight and the command of the ancients.

In fact, when Li Heng first came into contact with antiques when he was a child, he still thought that this thing must not be something invented by the ancients in their imagination.

In ancient times, the production conditions were poor, the available tools were limited, and the craftsmanship was also greatly restricted. How could such a treasure that is still very delicate and beautiful even today be made?

Seeing the changes in the silk map now, in retrospect, he finally understood why there were so many myths and legends recorded in ancient times.

Because there are too many ancient mysteries and mysteries that are difficult for future generations to understand.

In this situation where it is difficult to interpret the things left by the ancestors, people cannot use their own common sense to explain them, so they fabricate some myths and legends from them and pass them on to later generations.

Gu Qing looked at the amazed expressions of the people around him, and said slowly:
"You always think that the wisdom of the ancients is broad and profound... This is true. At that time, you can't do anything, and the chance of failure is still very high. This thing may not have any superb technology itself. It can only be done, or it can be said that it succeeded unexpectedly by chance and coincidence.”

"It's like I saw such a thing back then, and I couldn't figure out what method was used in it after repeated deliberation... It wasn't until a senior gave me advice. It was the same as those flooded and burned. It’s just using a cover-up technique to hide the most hidden secret above.”

"And these hungry things that seem to be very out of date, because they deliberately want to hide their secrets, they are deliberately made so mysterious, making people confused, or they feel that they have no value at first glance... "

"And if you suddenly discover that it is authentic and has historical significance, you will think it is a priceless treasure. This kind of true and false cover-up often gives you an unexpected feeling."

When Li Heng heard this, he admired these three old men from the bottom of his heart. Although they seemed to have a somewhat eccentric temperament, their ability to identify treasures was impeccable.

If it wasn't for his clairvoyant eyes, Li Heng would be able to see this puzzling technique.And they don't have any superpowers, just relying on their eyesight and experience, they can see through the essence and secrets of the baby in just a few minutes.

To be honest, Li Heng regretted that he didn't agree to worship these three old men as teachers, otherwise, he would have learned more...

But there is no regret medicine in the world. Even if Li Heng regrets it again, he will not look back to the three tasters to become his apprentice. He naturally has a plan in mind.

Everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and someone asked them again: "Then forgive me. Who is the old man who gave you advice?"
