Seeing that the two beauties had finally finished whispering, the female tour guide standing next to the master began to explain, "Well, two beauties. What you just photographed is the treasure of Luo Chunfu's house, the one under the beam is immediately conferred as a marquis. A little monkey is standing on a horse, poking a hornet's nest with a stick. This is a superficial explanation, but the symbolic meaning is immediately conferred as a marquis, hehe. "
Yang Ying and Zhu Yin looked up to observe the wooden carving under the beam. The shape was strange and complicated, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. And looking at the color of the material, it indeed looked like an ancient antique.
Zhu Yin said with a smile, "Immediately conferred as a marquis, hehe, this wooden carving is quite interesting."
Yang Ying saw that the old man in front of the table had white hair and slow movements, so she politely asked, "How old are you, sir?"
The master smiled and replied, "88 years old."
Yang Ying exclaimed, "Ah, 88 years old. You are really healthy, and your complexion is so good. "
The female tour guide next to him introduced, "This master is one of the seven masters of Huizhou, the master of wood carving, Teacher Wang Jinsheng."
Zhu Yin and Yang Ying came forward and respectfully shook hands with the old man, "Hello, Mr. Wang."
Yang Ying sighed, "Your hands are so amazing."
The tour guide added, "Mr. Wang once spent three years creating the exquisite wood carving, 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'. The whole picture was skillfully turned into a lifelike wood carving art by him."
Zhu Yin and Yang Ying looked at each other, "So amazing, oh, Mr. Wang, you are really a master of art."
The master slightly waved his hand, but didn't speak. It seemed that standing in the same place would consume his strength, but the old man seemed to be a bit stubborn and refused to sit down.
There was a young man next to the master, who should be his junior. He said to the two actresses, "If you want to get a reward, you have to complete a task given to you by the master."
The rules of the task were very simple, to let the two actresses observe a wooden carving, and then try to remember the characteristics of the wooden carving. Then someone would ask them a question according to the wooden carving, and the correct answer would be rewarded.
The wooden carving was wrapped in a piece of red cloth and presented. It wasn't big, only a foot long and half a foot wide. The wood carving depicted a scene of a wild forest, where many animals lived in various forms.
After watching for a while, Yang Ying nodded. "Okay, it's done."
The staff removed the wooden carvings, and it was their turn to answer the questions.
The female tour guide asked, "Please name the five animals depicted in the wood carving."
Yang Ying tilted her head slightly and quickly said, "Deer, tiger, horse." Thinking that she should give Zhu Yin a chance to answer, she paused to think.
Zhu Yin scratched his head and said, "Cannon!"
The female tour guide exclaimed in confusion. What the hell is a cannon? Is there such an animal?
Then Yang Ying explained for Zhu Yin, "She is a leopard, a leopard in the jungle."
The female tour guide, Momo, nodded. So what's the last one? "
Yang Ying finally added, "It's a sheep."
"Congratulations on passing." After the female tour guide finished speaking, Zhu Yin and Yang Ying smiled and clapped their hands. Taking the wooden carving of Guan Yunchang, which was carved by the master, the two of them rushed to the next treasure location without stopping.
Yang Ying asked for the direction of Luo Dongshu Temple and got a reply, "Go straight." She smiled sweetly and thanked him, and then went to Luo Dongshu Temple with Zhu Yin.
Along the way, many young people chased after them, screaming, "Yang Ying, baby, Zhu Yin!" They were shouting crazily. Yang Ying and Zhu Yin hurried to Luo Dongshu Temple, and when they entered, they saw a child playing the zither. Not far away was a table with a gong, and there were many bamboo tubes and bamboo carvings on the table. A middle-aged man with a goatee was sitting in a chair and carving.
Looking around, the yard was much larger than the ones they had seen before. There were many towering trees in the yard, and the environment looked quiet and elegant. The owner of the house seemed to be an idle person who knew how to enjoy life.
Zhu Yin muttered as she walked, "It's so cool here. Hmm, look at the map. Could it be that it's warm in winter and cool in summer?"
Yang Ying smiled and shook her head. "Although it's cool in summer, it definitely won't be warm in winter. This place doesn't have much to do with being warm in winter and cool in summer, but I see that the house is built so high. Maybe it has something to do with Lingering Sound? "
Sitting at the table was a master carving bamboo tubes, and behind him stood a female tour guide. Yang Ying looked at them and laughed. "Lingering Sound, hehe. Don't tell us where it is with your eyes."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and took pictures of what she thought was possible. The yard was very large, and Yang Ying had plenty of places to take pictures. Zhu Yin thought that since there was nothing for her to do in the yard, she might as well go inside and take a look.
The beams of the house facing the gate were very high, and Zhu Yin first took pictures of the beams. Then, she saw that the eight thick pillars were very eye-catching, so she took a few pictures of them as well. It was strange that the pillars weren't painted, and they were different from normal pillars. They were cold and smooth.
Yang Ying was a little overconfident this time around, and she took out her phone to show the master carving. He looked through all the pictures, but they were all wrong.
This time around, it was Zhu Yin's turn to show the master. The master shook his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This … doesn't seem to be it."
Zhu Yin flipped through the pictures and asked him to identify them. The master suddenly said, "I forgot what it is as well. It doesn't seem to be either."
The photographer who was following him smiled, thinking that this master was really unique and cute. Zhu Yin smiled bitterly. "Doesn't seem to be it. Eh, you forgot that too?"
The master scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Finally, he saw a picture and said immediately, "This seems right. Yes, it's those pillars. "
Zhu Yin waved at Yang Ying, who ran into the house, and shouted, "Got it, got it, Yang Ying, it's done."
Yang Ying hurried back and nodded at Zhu Yin with a smile. "Sister Zi Xia, you're amazing. This time, it's all thanks to you."
Zi Xia waved her hand. "No, it's you who reminded me."
It turned out that these pillars represented the indomitable spirit in the idiom, and not Lingering Sound. The female guide began to explain. "The antiques here are the pillars made of Phoebe zhennan wood that you just found. They are made of Phoebe zhennan wood, an extremely precious wood. This wood is elegant and fragrant, and if we put it under the sun, it will shine. "
