Chapter 742: Luodian, Jindian

This foreign couple didn't understand what Xiao Ying said, but judging from Yu Yao and Xiao Ying's expressions, they could also detect that it was a good thing. Their expressions couldn't help but tense.

"Don't be nervous, this is a white jade seal from the Ming Dynasty, a genuine antique. Yu Yao comforted first, "In addition, this is a utensil used in religion, does Taoism know about it?"

"Great!" the young man breathed a sigh of relief, "I know Taoism, is this the identity seal of a Taoist priest?

It can also be compared so vividly. Yu Yao was a little crying and laughing, this young man knew a little bit about Chinese culture, and he was a glimpse, but his analogy was really interesting.

The young man nodded, and quickly looked at Yu Yao again and said, "You're interested, aren't you? But I really don't want to make a move······!" But I can give you the appraisal fee. ”

Yu Yao waved his hand, "If you don't make a move, I won't be strong." As for the appraisal fee, I have already said that I will not use it, and I can still go back on my word?"

"However, can I keep a copy of this inscription?" At this time, Xiao Ying spoke.

"Of course you can!" the guy nodded repeatedly, "If this coffee house doesn't have ink, we can go back to the shop that sells fakes, just to humiliate the boss!"

Yu Yao smiled dumbly, "This is not called a fake, this is a handicraft." The point is, when you buy it, don't you listen to the boss keep saying 'Artwork', but don't talk about antiques, dynasties, and years? ”

At this time, Xiao Ying waved his hand again, "No need to print mud." ”

Xiao Ying used a blank piece of paper, pressed the seal out traces on it, this seal was Yang, and then Xiao Ying used a pen to draw on the traces, and after the comparison was correct, he carefully put it away.

After putting it away, Xiao Ying nodded at Yu Yao. It was useless for him to keep this seal, mainly because he wanted to study the seal.

The most important thing is that this guy used a box printed with the old town of Lijiang to put this French seal, and it is likely that the place where he got the French seal is not far from the old town of Lijiang, maybe there will be some clues.

The Taoist Dharma Seal is one of the most important Dharma instruments in Taoism. Taoism is a native religion in China, with a long timeline and many changes.

The conferral of the Dharma seal is roughly equivalent to the granting of the Dharma seal after having the official Taoist book, and the level of the Dharma seal is different from the beginning to the high level of the Taoist priest, and the level of the Dharma seal is also different.

The use of talismans by Taoist priests needs to be stamped with a magic seal, which is used for channeling spirits, saving people, driving away evil spirits and many other aspects.

The seal of the law began to exist from the heavenly master Zhang Daoling, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and since the Yuan Dynasty "three mountains are one", the formation of a broad sense of the "Zhengyi Method"; this seal is the Ming Dynasty Zhengyi seal.

The old Dao that Yu Yao and Xiao Ying met at the gate of Xianding Mountain before, if they had not been conferred, there would be no law seal. To put it simply, he is a wild path that he cultivates on his own, and without the Dharma seal, he cannot exert the power of the talisman. However, he didn't need a seal for what he studied, because it was mainly the art of divination and prediction.

Yu Yao looked at Xiao Ying, "Since it is a law seal, there will be no ······"

Xiao Ying responded, "The role of the Dharma seal is not in itself, but in the person who gave the seal. The seal of the Ming Dynasty, this Taoist must be ·····"

Yu Yao nodded. Xiao Ying doesn't care about this thing, but he actually wants to take it, but this young man has a very resolute attitude, so he can't take it by tricks.

"Isn't there really a need for appraisal fees?" After the young man took back the seal, he asked again.

"Not really. Yu Yao replied.

"But there's something else I want to ask. ”

"You ask. ”

"This should be Hetian jade, but I don't think it's white enough. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "Bai is not white and this is two different things. The jade quality of this seal, in a broad sense, belongs to Hetian jade, and if you go to identify, you can produce a Hetian jade certificate. But the jade material of this seal is not produced in Hotan, and it is not even the relatively close Russian material and Qinghai material. ”

"Ah, what is Hetian Yu called?" the young man looked frustrated, "Your country's appraisal certificate is so sloppy?"

Yu Yaozheng said, "This is not sloppy, this is precisely the concept of applying international standards, Hetian jade identification, using the composition standard, that is, the tremolite standard." As long as the tremolite content is sufficient, it is Hetian jade in a broad sense, not a name for a place of origin. ”

"Then where does this jade come from? Is it Chuncheon, South Korea? I heard that there is also a kind of jade similar to Hetian jade. ”

"You know a lot, yes, that kind also belongs to the generalized Hetian jade, which is generally called 'Korean food' in the industry. Yu Yao responded, "However, you are not a Korean material, in my opinion, it should be Luodian material." ”

"Rodian?" the young man scratched his head, "Where is this?"

Yu Yao didn't immediately ask him what he said, "There is also a dian", and replied directly: "This jade material was officially discovered and popularized about ten years ago, and it is produced in Gui Province, a neighboring province of Yunnan Province. Although the tremolite content is much lower than that of the material from Hetian, it is also more than 80 percent, and the quartz content is less than 10 percent, so it looks relatively moist, and the density also meets the standard of Hetian jade. ”

"No, isn't it a contradiction to say that this white jade seal is from the Ming Dynasty, and that this jade material was only officially discovered about ten years ago?"

"I'm not talking about formal discovery, I'm talking about formal discovery promotion, that is, being known and used by many people. But in fact, there have been individual mining and applications in history, and it is also normal. Maybe it's just unknown. Identification should not be influenced by necessity. ”

"I see. You are rigorous. The young man said happily, "Thank you very much!"

"Don't be busy, I also have a question for you. Yu Yao smiled, "You just said that there is also a Dian, could it be that the place where you got this seal, and the place name also has a Dian?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but it's not your province, it's a town in a county in Lijiang, called Jindian Town. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yao couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ying.

Before Diqing came to Lijiang, they had looked at the map and had selected two towns to explore in Yunling and the area along the river; one was Tajiang Town, where Xianding Mountain was located; and the other was Jindian Town! Judging from the general direction, Jindian Town was in the north and Tajiang Town was in the south.

"Then can you tell me how you got it?" Xiao Ying then asked.

"At that time, we climbed over a mountain, which was in the easternmost part of Jindian Town, called Muwugang. The young man recalled, "After turning over the mountain, you will reach this side of the river." On this side, in the middle of the mountain, there is a large area of relatively flat slopes. There was a small village on the hillside, about thirty families, and when I saw the village, I knew that there must be a road passing through! ”
