Old Huang quickly ran to the second floor, and soon he came down with a tool bag. Yang Jing took out a carving knife from the tool bag, carefully carved two cuts on the outside of the Duan inkstone, and found that the outer layer was not as hard as he imagined, so he nodded.

After Old Huang brought a basin of clean water, Yang Jing placed the Duan inkstone in the water and said, "It will be much easier to remove those things after soaking it for a while. Don't worry, the inkstone is not afraid of soaking in water. As long as it is not soaked in sea water, it will not be damaged even if it is soaked for decades."

After the inkstone was placed in the water, the clear water soon became turbid. After soaking for more than twenty minutes, Yang Jing finally took the inkstone out again. It turned out that the inkstone was very different.

Yang Jing found a hard-bristle brush from the tool bag and began to scrub the inkstone. It didn't take long for the outer layer of the inkstone to be cleaned by the hard-bristle brush.

What finally appeared before their eyes was a shiny black inkstone that was about 18 cm long, 15 cm wide, and 4 cm thick.

This inkstone looks like a human palm, and the inkstone center is a standard circle. At first glance, it looks like a black sun.

The inkstone ridge, inkstone top, inkstone edge and other parts around the inkstone are all carved with extremely exquisite sea wave ripples, and even the inkstone pool has patches of sea wave ripples.

All the sea ripples surround the inkstone in the middle, so that when viewed from the front, the inkstone looks like a vast ocean surrounding a huge rising sun.

This type of inkstone has a name among ancient inkstones, which is called "Sunrise on the Sea and Sky" or "Sea Waves Reflecting the Sun".

Old Huang is obviously also a veteran in the industry. When he saw the appearance of this inkstone, he immediately said in surprise: "This, this is a Haitian Xuri inkstone..."

Yang Jing did not speak, but turned over the inkstone. Sure enough, there was an inscription in regular script on the back of the inkstone: "Neither square nor round, neither carved nor polished. A little polishing, but virtue is cultivated without notice. Like gold being smelted, like jade being uncut. Duanzhou has many talents who are so outstanding, and the gentlemen in the room are happy to meet and talk." The two regular script characters "Dian Ming" were signed below. (PS: This inscription was originally the inscription on the "Dongtian Yipin Duan Inkstone" by Yu Dian, and it was borrowed here, please do not investigate.)

When Old Huang saw the inscription, his eyes widened immediately and he stammered, "This, this is actually a Yudian-style Duan inkstone? Oh my God..."

Yang Jing smiled and said nothing, but he felt extremely refreshed in his heart, as if his body had been cleansed from the inside out.

Grandpa said it well, just follow your heart.

Yang Jing finally understood some of the meaning of this sentence.

There are some things that you should do and some things you shouldn't do...

PS: I would like to thank "Kunpeng3357" for the reward of 200.
