Chapter 8: Treasure Chest (Part 1)

"Okay." Dong Qingshan took out a wooden box from the bag and put it on the table, "Look at it everyone."

As soon as the things were served, everyone stared at the box on the table.

Dong Qingshan sat in the north of the table, Dong Tianyue and Gao Lingfeng sat side by side in the south of the table, Liang Hua and Gao Yide sat in the east and west of the table, looking at the wooden box with bright eyes. The wooden box was golden yellow, and the patterns on it were very luxurious, like strands of golden silk waves shining!

What a beautiful golden nanmu brocade box. Dong Tianyue, Liang Hua, and Gao Lingfeng were all a little demented.

Golden nanmu is a national wood in China. In the past, the emperor's dragon chaise was made of it. If there were big wave patterns, tumors, blisters and other top-quality texture patterns on golden nanmu furniture, the price was amazing! Not to mention the finished product, it is a 15 cm diameter and two meters long old nanmu material, each with a diameter of about 150,000 yuan, which is equivalent to ten taels of gold! Using it to make furniture, the price will be even higher.

Several people have seen the world, but except for Gao Yide, no one else has ever seen such a high-quality golden nanmu treasure box.

"This looks like a treasure box, huh?" Gao Yide frowned and exclaimed. The box seemed very familiar?

Gao Yide remembered that he once gave a treasure box of golden nanmu to the master. As soon as this thing was served, Gao Yide recognized it at a glance and said in surprise: "Master, this..."

"Haha, it's the treasure chest of golden nanmu puzzle you gave me!" Dong Qingshan said with a smile.

"No wonder it looks so familiar? By the way, Master, didn't you say it is the king of brocade boxes you collected? Why are you interested in bringing it out? Could it be that the puzzle was unraveled?" Gao Yide asked at the golden treasure box on the table.

In addition to the precious gold nanmu, this treasure box also has an exquisite mechanical puzzle on the surface. If you cannot untie the puzzle, you will not be able to open the box. If you want to force it, the self-destruct device inside will be touched and the treasures contained in the treasure box will be destroyed. Dong Qingshan likes this treasure box given by Gao Yide very much, and the key reason is this mysterious puzzle device.

In ancient times, there were too many craftsmen who could make brocade boxes and treasure boxes, but few people could set up mechanical puzzles on brocade boxes. Generally, people were invited to be the owners of such mechanical puzzles, either rich or noble. They either used it to store very expensive items, or used it to store secret files such as treasure maps. This item usually only appeared in the palace and the homes of tycoons in the rivers and lakes.

"It was untied, but I was disrupted by the puzzle again, just to restore it to its original appearance so that everyone can open their eyes." Dong Qingshan smiled and said, "Yue'er, do you identify this treasure chest?"

Everyone looked at each other and said, "The old man was so tired that he never forgot to teach his grandson how to identify antiques." Everyone looked at Dong Tianyue and guessed whether Dong Tianyue had real talent and knowledge to identify them?"

Dong Tianyue didn't dare to get started, not because he was a stick, but because he was afraid of being "electric". Based on his feelings, this brocade box was qualified to stimulate his perspective. At the beginning, Dong Tianyue got into a painting by Monk Juran of Song Dynasty, and suddenly the feeling of electric shock came from his palm, which immediately stimulated his tactile sense to open a door to his perspective eye.

According to Dong Tianyue's experience, as long as things go to the Song Dynasty, he will definitely feel electric shock or numb when he starts, and also feel a headache. The more expensive it is, the more obvious it comes from everyone's hands. In other words, as long as he gets used to the antiques from the Song Dynasty, the perspective eye can be triggered. Dong Tianyue doesn't want everyone to see what's wrong with him today. Even his grandfather didn't tell him the ability to have perspective eye. He wants to wait for his grandfather to give him an unexpected surprise on his 80th birthday!

"Grandpa, it looks like something from the Ming Dynasty." Dong Tianyue guessed based on his experience and looked at his grandpa with a nervous expression. If he said it wrong, it would be embarrassing. Dong Qingshan smiled and said, "It's not bad. If you don't get started, you can tell that it's from the Ming Dynasty. You're a little progress!"

"That's right, I don't have any skills, so I'll give you a shame." Dong Tianyue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it right. Dong Qingshan, the only two grandchildren in the Dong family, seemed to prefer Dong Tianyue, which may be related to Dong Tianyue's father being implicated to death by his elder brother.

"Haha! Master, I think my junior brother's talent is not inferior to that of my senior brother!" Gao Yide quickly praised. The senior brother is Dong Tianyue's uncle Dong Ruoyun.

Dong Qingshan waved his hand and smiled, "This kid can't praise you, you will be proud if you praise me!" Then he slowly picked up the box to appreciate it, nodding constantly and nodding, "Well, it is indeed from the Ming Dynasty. It is really ingenious and exquisite! The wavy golden patterns of the golden nanmu wood are like golden fish scales shining, especially when you look at it! From the shape of the instrument, craftsmanship, patina and other aspects, this is something from the mid-Ming Dynasty, and it should be a royal object in the palace. The wisdom of the ancients is really extraordinary and saints, which makes us modern people ashamed!"

Originally, today, next to senior brother Gao Yide and master Liang Hua, Dong Tianyue wanted to hear a few words from his grandfather to praise him. He was so proud, but he didn't expect that his grandfather was still so stingy about praise.

Dong Tianyue couldn't help but retort: ​​"Grandpa, you always like to be generous to the past and miss the present, and you always think about the past. Do you ask the ancients to make a smartphone for me to see?"

"It's not in line with each other, can this be compared?"

"You always advise others not to eat the past, I think you are the most serious."

Gao Yide and Gao Lingfeng were shocked to listen. The junior brother is so fierce. How dare you talk to the master like this? Is Dong Qingshan going to express his anger now? But he didn't.

"Is that true?" Dong Qingshan put down the box with a smile, "I am an old mind, stubborn and can't change it anymore, but I hope you young people don't do this, think more about everything, and innovate more..."

Dong Tianyue pretended to disapprove, but in fact he still agreed with what his grandfather said. But it was a long time ago, and I felt particularly friendly when I was able to argue with my grandfather.

Gao Lingfeng did not dare to be arrogant in front of his master and said humbly: "You are always right."

"Grandpa, I took a few glances. Where is this 'tuyan'? Have you found it?" Dong Tianyue looked at it for a while, but didn't see the tuyan. He frowned and asked. What was he actually covering up when he said this. When his grandfather said that this thing was from the Ming Dynasty, Dong Tianyue carefully got on his hands, and the palms of his hands felt numb, but fortunately he was mentally prepared and was not "corona".

Although he was not corona, Dong Tianyue's perspective eyes were touched. Dong Tianyue said as he looked at the inside of the box with his perspective eyes. Oh, it was all good things! The heartbeat accelerated violently!

"Hey, there are two layers of treasure chest. I wonder if my grandfather has discovered it? Well, the mechanism on the second floor is a bit secret, and my grandfather probably didn't find it!" Dong Tianyue excitedly checked the second floor of the treasure chest. Unfortunately, his perspective eyes were not good enough and he couldn't see it clearly, and the picture inside was a little blurry.

Although this is not the first time I have opened the perspective eye by touch, the feeling of knowing the situation inside the wooden box is really exciting! Unfortunately, this excitement cannot be shared with others, so I feel so nervous. The special abilities of the perspective eye are a secret, and they cannot be easily told until they have to be. That is Dong Tianyue's killer move! Therefore, although Dong Tianyue successfully opened the perspective eye and saw the treasure in the brocade box, it cannot be expressed too clearly. If you are suspected, it will not be fun.

In order to conceal his perspective, Dong Tianyue fiddled with his hands and pretended to make puzzles. After he worked several times, he couldn't find any rules. Not to mention the completeness of the team, he didn't even look for the "Tiuyan".

Even children know that when playing puzzles, the first step is to find "Tuyan". If you can't find "Tuyan", you will be making nonsense no matter how you do it.

"Oh, the headache is so hard to fight! Grandpa, where is the picture eye?" Dong Tianyue grabbed his head and pretended to be a puzzle to be troubled.

"Haha, let alone you, even your senior brother can't find it. Old man, it took me several months to search for various ancient books before finding some tricks. The mechanism of this mechanism of the diagram comes from the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, "Tuyan" is two rather than one!" Dong Qingshan said with some condolence.

"Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation?" Everyone was puzzled. No wonder it was so difficult to solve?

Dong Tianyue wondered: "How come there are two 'pic eyes'?"
