Against the sky starts from copying

Chapter 87 Heart Sutra in Cursive Script
A large area was vacated in the arena, and the thousand-jin stone embryo, which was as tall as three people, was erected by the guards and displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

In order to dissect the boulder more efficiently, Li Chengtian dispatched three stone-cutter masters on the spot. After walking up the ladder, the three masters quickly stood at the assigned positions.

These quarry masters will charge 20% of the handling fee for each stone embryo opened. Although three people open a stone embryo together, the income ratio will be reduced, but this huge stone is the most expensive stone embryo in Bifangyuan. On top of [-] taels of silver, even after the distribution among the three, the handling fee earned was more than ordinary stone embryos.

Therefore, the three stone-cutting masters were also in a good mood, and they started to open the stone with their knives almost at the same time, and the black lime powder began to peel off like a rainstorm.

Everyone in the field waited with bated breath. Few people dared to open such a big stone embryo at the treasure hunting conference, because the normal size of the treasure would not be so huge. It's hard to do it, and it's only been 200 years since the Thousand Monster Kingdom perished. The probability of such a huge stone embryo being a waste stone is very high.

However, after witnessing Lin Tianyang's miraculous performance that he could even open 64 stone embryos to produce treasures, no one thought about whether this stone embryo would be a waste stone, but they all enthusiastically speculated that this stone embryo would appear What kind of treasure.

"Such a big stone embryo, if it really yields a treasure, I'm afraid the grade will never be too low!"

"What are you talking about? The lowest level of stone embryos in front of Lin Tianyang is also seventh-level. How low can it be this time?"

"That's right! One inch is long and one inch is strong. There must be quite a treasure hidden in this stone embryo!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and even some senior appraisers couldn't help but join in the discussion. The venue was very lively, and Li Chengtian, who was the organizer, felt more and more unhappy when he heard the discussion.

The previous Treasure Hunting Conference had a high yield rate, but in general comparison, the City Lord’s Mansion still wins more and loses less. No matter what kind of treasures the treasure appraisers open and how much it’s worth, the City Lord’s Mansion still makes a steady profit every year. become one of the main annual income.

But this year's situation has suddenly changed. The appraisers who have been here all the year round feel that the quality of the stone embryos is not good this year, and they have no desire to sell. The transaction amount is far from previous years. Although Lin Tianyang spent nearly 400 million taels Silver is used to buy stone embryos, but one rune armor is enough to earn back all the capital, and then more than 60 kinds of treasures are continuously issued, which is already a lot of money and a windfall.

This is the case with stone gambling. One family is happy and the other is sad. No matter what happens next, Lin Tianyang will not be the one who is worried.

Li Chengtian's heart was bleeding when he thought about the sharp drop in income from this year's Treasure Hunting Conference and the treasures that Lin Tianyang had earned, and when he looked at the huge stone embryo that was being opened, he felt even more uneasy.

"If any more extraordinary treasures are found, this year's treasure hunting conference will be considered a complete failure!" Li Chengtian watched nervously the actions of the stone-cracking masters, and prayed secretly: "Anyway, this kid has made a lot of money." , the remaining three stone embryos must not produce any more treasures!"

He is like a banker who has met the God of Gamblers, full of nervousness, praying devoutly, but unfortunately, the sky often fails to fulfill his wishes.

"It's a treasure!"

A stone-opening master suddenly stopped the stone-opening knife in his hand, and gently wiped the thinner part of a stone with his finger, immediately revealing a black ink jade underneath.

Everyone was shocked and cheered loudly. Li Chengtian's complexion froze for a moment, and he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "I'm really afraid of something!"

Although Lin Tianyang's opening of the treasures is not an actual loss to him, the feeling of seeing others take the treasures from him really makes him very uncomfortable. In the past, he used this method to deal with those who came to sell stones. The treasure hunter of the embryo, but now it is Lin Tianyang who made him truly experience what it was like to regret what he shouldn't have...

Seeing that the treasure had already been produced, the other two stone-cutters also put down their work, and followed the first stone-cutter to carefully clean the stones along the edge of the black jade.

With the joint efforts of the three, the piece of black jade quickly showed its true face in front of everyone.

This piece of black jade is one-third the size of a huge stone embryo, and it is not transparent. It looks like a black stone, but after cleaning the lime, there is a unique brilliance of jade on the surface, which is not like ordinary things. .

Seeing Mo Yu's true face clearly, everyone couldn't help frowning.

"This piece of ink jade is a bit bigger, but there is nothing special about it!"

"That's right. Although this black jade is big, its quality is only average and it's worthless."

"Don't worry, it's not all finished yet!"

Everyone was discussing and guessing, Li Chengtian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if this kind of worthless jade was taken away by Lin Tianyang, he wouldn't feel any heartache.

As for Lin Tianyang, who was the center of everyone's discussion, his face remained calm from the beginning to the end, and no one's speculation could shake his state of mind.

"How can a treasure that needs to consume [-] points of thought power to copy it be just a simple piece of huge black jade!"

Lin Tianyang had no doubts in the Tiansheng illustrated book, and looked at the huge Moyu that was being finished by three stone-opening masters, full of confidence.

The three masters moved very quickly. After cleaning out the edges of the huge black jade, they used a special brush to clean the stones on the back of the black jade. The back was smooth and shiny.

After confirming that there was nothing on the back of the black jade, the three stone-cutting masters began to clean the gravel and dust on the front again. Just as the brushes danced a few times, a trace of golden lines appeared on the black jade, as deep as an inch.

"Huh? There are words!"

Li Chengtian, who is an ink artist, reacted the fastest, his eyes lit up, and he immediately saw that the exposed lines of Mo Yu were some part of the writing: "This is the inscription!"

Everyone who was discussing in the venue immediately fell silent, looking at the inscriptions that were gradually being cleaned up, they dared not show their atmosphere.

"Inscription?" Lin Tianyang's pupils narrowed slightly, looking forward to it in his heart: "Is it a martial skill or a kung fu? Something that can be carved with such a big black jade must be extraordinary!"

The three stone-opening masters seemed to feel the expectations of the crowd, and their movements sped up a little more. After a while, the entire inscription appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

On the shiny black ink jade, there suddenly emerged an inscription of more than [-] characters painted with gold lacquer. Although it has been through the years, the gold lacquer has not faded at all, and the whole stone tablet looks like a brand new one.

Everyone subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to see more clearly, and from the moment Master Kaishi scanned out the first character, Li Chengtian rushed to the stone tablet like a ghost, and let Master Kaishi clean it up. The dust that came out rushed towards his face, but he was not moved at all, as if his soul was sucked away by this black jade stele, and his whole person looked extremely empty.

Lin Tianyang also walked in front of the stele, and couldn't help frowning as he looked at the scribbled inscription.

"This doesn't look like martial arts or exercises, but rather some scriptures." Lin Tianyang was a little disappointed, and even more surprised: "What scriptures are worth [-] points of thought power in the Tiansheng illustrated book?" To copy?"

The full text of the stele is 260 characters. Its brushwork is vigorous and majestic, as if it was written by everyone. His heart was shocked by the sharpness revealed by it, and his whole body tensed up.

The entire stele is like a peerless magic weapon, which can shake all directions without moving.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships..."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true of thinking and knowing...

"This is the Buddhist Heart Sutra!"

Someone in the room recognized the writing on the inscription, and after reading a few words, he immediately recognized that it was a Buddhist classic, the Heart Sutra.

The full name of the Heart Sutra is the Heart Sutra of Maha Prajna Paramita. There is only one volume, with a total of 260 characters. In the family of Buddhist believers in the previous life, there will be several different versions of the Heart Sutra, which can be called the most widely circulated Buddhist scriptures.

With the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him, Lin Tianyang was already prepared to see the classic works of his previous life here, so the appearance of the Heart Sutra did not shock him, but plunged him into deeper confusion.

"Although this Heart Sutra is amazing, it is only a volume of Buddhist scriptures at best. Why is it worth [-] points of thought power?"

Lin Tianyang was full of suspicion, looking at the handwriting on the stone tablet, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Could it be... the calligraphy of the person who wrote this volume of scriptures is extraordinary?"

There were many people who believed in Buddhism among the people present, and Master Mo was the most devout Buddhist among them. The moment he knew it was the inscription of the Heart Sutra, he knelt down on the ground solemnly, bowed his head solemnly, and was full of piety.

Many people followed his example and knelt down to the inscription. Even those who don't believe in Buddhism also made palms together. Next, they will not be disrespectful.

"Although this Heart Sutra is well written, it doesn't seem to be worth 20 taels of silver?"

"Hey, although Lin Tianyang also released treasures this time, it is obviously a big loss."

"It's okay, anyway, the record of continuously issuing treasures has not been broken, which is also a kind of harvest!"

"That's pretty good. I can value this stele at 1 taels just for this technique alone!"

Many wealthy businessmen were discussing and discussing this stele, estimating its value, and the discussion was quite heated.

"1 taels? Do you idiots know what this is?"

Li Chengtian, who had been immersed in the inscription for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was like thunder, and his words were sharp. With a simple sentence, everyone felt his madly surging anger.

The wealthy businessmen who were discussing were startled, and immediately shut their mouths, keeping silent like a cicada.

As the city lord of Mobei, Li Chengtian is stingy and stingy on weekdays, but he treats people extremely kindly, even when facing ordinary people, he does not hesitate to smile.

But at this moment, at the Treasure Hunting Conference where noble people gathered, Li Chengtian, who has always been kind, actually called them idiots, his behavior was really abnormal, which made everyone very puzzled.

Li Chengtian turned around, with a sullen look on his face, his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at the few wealthy businessmen who were hotly discussing earlier: "Open your eyes and take a good look, is this Heart Sutra worth only 1 taels!"

Before he finished speaking, he stepped aside, revealing the last few words of the inscription, as well as the signature of the Mohist engraved on the last stone tablet.

"Zhang Xu's cursive script!"

The signature was only four characters, but everyone who saw this name immediately widened their eyes, and their pupils shrank to the extreme.

"Zhang Xu! Grass Saint Zhang Xu!" Lin Tianyang was shocked, and his heart was filled with shocking ecstasy: "This is actually Zhang Xu's cursive script!"
