MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 11 Argument

  Liu Chuanqing straightened his back and got airy, as expected of a closed disciple trained by himself, look at the edge, look at the momentum, sitting on the steps and drinking water has a unique personality.

   "Xiaomo, what is the first test?"

  Liu Chuanqing was curious, and the other parents also listened. After all, he was the first to enter the next level of assessment.

  Li Mo smiled slightly and said: "The test is about the realm of thought."

   Several old men looked at each other confused, what kind of exam question is this. Liu Chuanqing clapped his hands and said in admiration: "The exam questions that the professors from the three schools came up with together have depth."

  Others suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

About ten minutes later, Lin Dong walked over with a jewelry box and saw Li Mo sitting outside basking in the sun leisurely, and said with a stinky face, "It's just a fluke, the next thing is to test your real talents." Time. You were recommended by Professor Zhu for the interview, so just don’t embarrass him by then.”

   "Assistant Lin, just do what you are supposed to do, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

  Li Mo didn't even bother to talk to him.

   "Hmph, too lacking in quality."

   Li Mo was so angry that he almost choked on a sip of water, why didn't he have quality?

   "What are you doing just sitting there, Professor Zhu told you to go in." Lin Dong's attitude was not good, and his pertinence became more and more obvious.

   "Little Mo, let's bear with it." Liu Chuanqing initially had an attitude of putting peace first, but now he was also angered by Lin Dong's inexplicable hostility, thinking of his relationship with Professor Zhu, he still held back his anger.

   Enduring a moment of calm, Li Mo meditated a few times in his heart to return to normal.

The atmosphere in the classroom was much more relaxed. Li Mo sat back on his chair, and the boy next to him with pimples on his face and thick glasses said in a low voice, "Brother, the subject of the assessment later is debate, here is the answer sheet and pen."

"Thanks."

   "I should thank you, otherwise I would have lost face just now."

  Li Mo smiled lightly. Just now he raised his hands the most, and almost jumped up impulsively to try to be the first to speak.

   “We work together.”

  Lin Dong and another assistant had already prepared three long tables. After spreading the tablecloths, they took out pieces of jade from several boxes at the feet. There were ten pieces in total, with different shapes and colors.

"Students, the second level is jade debate. What you have to do is to judge the type of jade and the style of jade according to what you have learned. Of course, there are also imitation jade in it, so you have to distinguish between real and fake jade and fake jade at the same time. Jade does not need to be appraised. I also want to remind everyone that, except for high-quality imitations, the others are used by our Beijing University for academic research and are valuable, so you must be careful."

   This is the test of the real basic skills. Of course, not everyone is good at jade debate. Li Mo is best at porcelain, antiques and miscellaneous items. He can only say that he is involved in jade, calligraphy and painting, not proficient.

   Fortunately, this assessment is only about common sense, which is much easier for him.

  Nine people started to act separately, and began to appraise the jade articles respectively.

  The first jade piece Li Mo got his hands on was a hairpin, and his face collapsed when he first got it. It was imitation jade, but the shape was exquisite, with obvious signs of being worn.

  Put down the hairpin and pick up the second piece of jade. It is a toad. After looking at it for a few times, he put it down in disappointment. It is another imitation jade. The shot was not smooth, and two consecutive pieces were fake.

  Turning to look at the others, they are all concentrating on identifying the jade in their hands, writing something on the answer sheet from time to time.

   After about three minutes, someone finished the identification and exchanged places with Li Mo.

   "This jade bi is good in appearance." Li Mo thought it was good at first glance, but when he got started, he immediately wanted to scold people, whether those who made the questions were trying to deceive people, and the third piece turned out to be imitation jade. The boy who did the appraisal just now wrote a lot of content in the circle painting, so it must be regarded as the real thing.

   After Li Mo got his hands on the fourth, fifth, and sixth pieces of jade, he turned his head to look at the professors who were communicating in a low voice, and had a preliminary judgment in his mind.

  For about half an hour, Li Mo had already passed through all ten pieces of jade, and his heart was a little broken. These professors actually had a childlike innocence, and they played with them for so long.

  Li Mo thought for a second that he was not an expert at debating jade after all, or sometimes he misread it. To be on the safe side, he pretended to scratch his forehead with his right hand, and his different pupils glanced at the ten jade wares without any response.

It is definitely imitation jade. This is definitely a big hole dug by the professors. I don’t know if Lin Dong understands the truth. Jade.

   Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the answer was submitted. Li Mo also worked very hard, and spent half an hour with everyone.

  Lin Dong collected all the answer sheets, saw Li Mo's answer, and glanced at him full of contempt.

  The three professors went through everyone's appraisal results one after another, and they couldn't see anything unusual on their faces.

   "Professor Zhu, you should announce it."

  Zhu Changping glanced meaningfully in Li Mo's direction and said, "Those whose names are tapped will participate in a temporary additional test."

  Any more test questions?

   "Li Mo, Zheng Guanluo, Hu Zhiqiang, Zheng Qi and Li Xiaolin."

  The remaining four people looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what this meant, and the situation seemed a little bad.

  Lin Dong carefully put the box in his hand on the table, and opened it so that everyone can see what's inside.

"At most two minutes per person, Li Mo will start first." Lin Dong looked at Li Mo with a little more fear, and he vaguely guessed that he might have made a wrong judgment on the ten jade pieces, because the five people who were added to the test It is the top five with the largest number of imitation jade identified.

  Li Mo approached, and there was a jade Chan lying in the box, and just about to reach out to take it out, suddenly his nose smelled a faint fragrance. The scent was very special, which made him hesitate and then retracted his right hand, then picked up the box and observed it carefully.

  Cicada body, cicada wings, cicada eyes, the more you look at it, the more shocked you are, and you can't help but look with different pupils, and you can see that Yuchan emits a pale white halo from her body, which shows that the time to complete the carving is very near, about ten years or so. But there are forty or fifty circles in the aperture, which represents a great artistic achievement and value.

   This is the carving level of a great master, from the hands of a generation of famous masters.

  Li Mo put down the box gently, and stepped back a few steps, with a look of admiration on his face.

  Since it is an additional test question, this Yuchan must be a bit famous. The other four people looked at it one by one, feeling the delicateness of the jade with their hands, judging the transparency of the jade against the incoming sunlight, and then carefully observing the level of its carving.

   Ten minutes later, all five of them had their own judgments.

"There is no need to rush to answer the test questions. You can say what you think of. Others have already said that if you have something to add, you can also speak." Professor Yu of Tsinghua University said kindly, "I found a strange detail before answering, so I am curious. I want to ask classmate Li Mo a question first."

   "Hello, Professor Yu, what do you want to ask?"

"I found that when you were about to take out Yuchan, you paused for a moment, and then held up the box with both hands to observe the Yuchan inside. We all know that the most direct way to distinguish jade is to feel its uniqueness carefully. It’s different, but you gave up this method at the last moment, is it because you have absolute confidence in your own eyesight or a different kind of abandonment?”

   "I heard what Professor Yu said, and it's true in retrospect. This pause is really strange. I also want to hear what he said." Professor He gave the impression of seriousness, and he was also aroused at this moment. Curiosity.

   "Haha, Li Mo is under a lot of pressure when you do this." Professor Zhu laughed, "Li Mo, just talk about it."

  Li Mo showed a look of hesitation. Seeing everyone staring at him, it seems that it is impossible not to say anything.

"Actually, I smelled a faint fragrance when I was close to the jade Chan. This fragrance is the purest, most natural, and most intoxicating fragrance in the world. It should be the body fragrance of a girl. I saw Lin The assistant went out to fetch the box, guessing that the Yuchan should have just been taken off the woman, so there is still body fragrance on it."

   "I thought that since it is a woman's personal thing, it would be offensive and inappropriate to directly touch it, so I gave up."

   There was a dead silence in the classroom.
