From a distance, you can see a red temple sitting quietly in front of the green bamboo forest under the blue sky. The bell tower and drum tower at the door are like two guardian gods, which makes people's eyes bright.
"That's the bell tower." Lin Tai pointed to the bell tower.
Jing Yuhang nodded slightly and walked over with Jing Yulong and Lin Tiancheng. The three of them did not come by themselves. There were two old men behind them. Although they were older, their eyes were very sharp, especially when they saw After seeing the corner of the bell tower exposed, his eyes became even more focused! Both of them are antique masters, especially good at ancient clocks. With just one glance, they knew that they had come to the right place this time!
Looking at the curves and radian of the bell body, they knew that it was a big bell!
The rising sun falls on the clock, reflecting a faint golden halo, giving the entire bell tower a mysterious, solemn and atmospheric color.
Jing Yuhang is also an antique enthusiast. In fact, the children of these families all study antiques, jade and other cultural relics and curios. It's just that there are different levels of Taoism... Even so, Jing Yuhang also saw the extraordinary quality of this big clock.
Zheng Tianqiao had seen the Yongle Bell a long time ago, but he didn't look carefully the last time he looked at it. Instead, he was overwhelmed by the momentum of the bell. After a few glances, he was astonished and hurriedly came down to explain the situation. Looking at the Yongle Bell in the sky today, his heart couldn't help but beat faster! baby! This is an absolute treasure!
A gust of wind blew by, and Zheng Tianqiao shivered, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart: "It's a pity... I can't eat it!"
Lin Tiancheng didn't understand this, but the old man he brought did, and he was better at observing words and expressions. Looking at the expressions of several experts, he knew that this big clock was definitely a good thing! So, he immediately started thinking about how to get this big clock from Fang Zheng...
Several people came to the bell tower. Lin Tiancheng, Jing Yuhang, Jing Yulong, and the two old men couldn't bear it any longer. They immediately climbed up the stairs, and then collectively froze in place.
Although Lin Tiancheng didn't understand clocks, he understood one thing. He looked up at the Yongle Bell and felt quite emotional in his heart, but he didn't speak yet.
He heard his daughter and another woman behind him shout out his heartfelt voice in unison: "It's so big!"
"This doesn't seem to be made of bronze." Jing Yuhang touched the clock body and said in shock.
Jing Yulong was far inferior to Jing Yuhang in this aspect. He touched the body of the clock and said, "If it were made of pure gold, it would be spectacular. Master Zhang, please tell me what this is made of and the year it was made." How about it?"
The old man with a goatee among the two old men nodded slightly, took out a magnifying glass and observed the Yongle Bell carefully.
Lin Tiancheng, who was on the side, motioned to another master to take a look. The master couldn't wait for a long time. Seeing the sponsor nodding, he immediately followed and observed. While looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a clock! What a clock!" "
Ten minutes later, the two old masters retired.
Jing Yulong said nervously: "How is it?"
Master Zhang said: "It is indeed not pure copper. It is difficult to make such a big bell out of pure copper even with the current technology, and it cannot be made so finely. The thinnest part is very easy to break. To be honest, I really can’t tell what material this bell is made of. It has a gold-like color and a sound quality like a copper bell. The scriptures engraved on it are simple and elegant. If you look carefully, you can see the Buddha. Riding the dragon... Shocking! So shocking! I have lived for eighty years and have never seen such a majestic clock! What a pity... "
"What's a pity?" Jing Yulong's heart tightened. Is there any disadvantages to this clock
Master Li beside him immediately added: "Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the age of this clock just by looking at its appearance. More instrument testing is needed, but..."
"But? Oh, you two, stop gasping and tell me quickly whether this thing is worth anything." Lin Tai always knew that this clock was worth something, but he didn't know how. Although his question was vulgar, it was indeed what Jing Yuhang, Jing Yulong, Lin Tiancheng, Lin Xi and others wanted to know most.
Master Li adjusted his reading glasses and sighed: "The treasure of the country!"
Master Zhang said: "Even modern craftsmanship is of immeasurable value."
"Hiss!" As soon as these words came out, Lin Xi, Lin Tai, and Lin Tiancheng took a breath of air. The woman who never spoke was named Yi Yiluo, and she was Jing Yulong's girlfriend. Originally, she didn't have any hopes for going up the mountain this time, she just joined in the fun and got to know Yulong Shimojing more. Even when she saw the Yongle Bell, she didn't think much about it. She was not very interested in these things. But when Master Zhang and Master Li came to the conclusion, she covered her mouth and looked at the big clock in front of her in disbelief. A pair of eyes were also turning, seeming to be thinking of something.
"Yulong, haven't you been worried about what to give the old man for his birthday? I think this big clock is good." Yi Yiluo said to Jing Yulong in a low voice.
As a result, Jing Yulong gave her a blank look: "Give me a clock for the old man? Do you think your life is too rich?"
Only then did Zhou Yiluo remember that it was taboo to give a bell, and he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Jing Yulong snorted coldly and continued: "However, whenever this kind of treasure is placed in front of the old man, he will be happy..."
"Aren't they all the same?" Zhou Yiluo asked.
Jing Yulong shook his head, too lazy to explain. Moreover, there is still trouble ahead. This clock was proposed by Jing Yuhang. It is not easy for him to grab it first. However, the more he looks at the Yongle Bell, the hotter his heart becomes. He is unwilling to give up like this!
Jing Yuhang glanced at Yi Yiluo and frowned. Are you trying to rob him? At this time, Jing Yuhang also regretted bringing Jing Yulong here.
Both of them are branches of the Jing family and have similar status, but if whoever can deliver this big clock to the old man, as long as the old man is happy, the status will be different! This is definitely an excellent opportunity to soar into the sky! As for family and friendship? When the benefits are great enough, they become unimportant. Jing Yuhang has understood this since he was a child. However, he always thought that Lin Tai was bragging. Part of the reason why he came here was to give Lin Tiancheng face. Although Lin Tiancheng's group is not as good as the Jing family, it is a good help to Jing Yuhang. But I never expected that such a big trick would happen... That playboy Lin Tai actually found such a valuable treasure!
Jing Yuhang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Yulong, you don't want to rob me, do you?"
Jing Yulong laughed loudly and said, "Cousin, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
When Zhou Yiluo heard this, he immediately became anxious and pinched Jing Yulong secretly, but Jing Yulong seemed not to understand what she meant and remained silent. Zhou Yiluo gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yuhang, I don't think this clock can be snatched or not."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Jing Yuhang glanced at Jing Yulong, who had no intention of stopping Yi Luo. He understood that this stupid woman Yi Yiluo was being used as a weapon by Jing Yulong. Jing Yulong looked careless and didn't care, but in fact he was sure that Yi Yiluo would speak. Some words come out of Zhou Yiyi's mouth, and there is much more room for maneuver than when they come out of his mouth.
PS: It’s not that I don’t add updates, it’s that I write too many scrapped manuscripts every day. I have to revise and revise more than 10,000 words, and I can only revise so much. If you write casually without considering the quality, you will have to update it already. After all, the more updates you make, the more money you will make. Why…
