Chapter 488: A thousand-year-old dark room, a light is on

Although only one corner of this jade is red, this red is extremely pure and transparent.

Based on Lu Zi'an's understanding of the jade material, after careful identification, he found that this was not white jade and red qin, this should be pure red jade.

I can't blame him for being so cautious, it's really that red jade is too mysterious and rare.

There is only one kind of red jade in China, and that is the Hetian red jade produced in the Karakashi River valley at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, which is a rarer and more precious and unique variety than mutton fat jade.

It is only in the process of geological crust, volcanic eruptions, and earth changes that it has been buried and evolved into the bed of the Moyu River after countless natural changes such as mudslides, floods, and earthquakes.

In ancient times, ruby was only possessed by royal nobles and court emperors.

In folklore, it is just a legend, and the common people can only hear its name in the literature but not see it.

Coupled with the gorgeous color of red jade, it has become a rare treasure that has been chased by the collectors in recent years.

Therefore, ruby is very precious.

Ruby is almost impossible to find in today's market, and it is purely by chance that you want to see it.

Even, except for some experienced collectors who know about the existence of ruby, many novices have not even heard of ruby as a category.

For example, at this time, many people can't understand why Lu Zi'an picked around and picked such a material.

From their point of view, most of the materials in this are of excellent quality and rare to see, and any of them are better than this one in Lu Zi'an's hand.

But after all, Lu Zi'an's identity is here, no matter how suspicious they are, no one dares to question it face-to-face.

Only Master Yang paused slightly, stared at the jade material in Lu Zi'an's hand, and said with some hesitation: "This is ...... Hetian Yu?"

"Yes, Ruby. Lu Zi'an smiled slightly, and his mood was very happy: "Jade is divided into five colors, and there is a saying in the "Jade Spectrum Edition": Xuan, three jade, Zhu, Cang, and Bai. ”

He didn't explain much, but Master Yang was already desperately recalling it in his mind.

It is jade, vermilion, red, pale, gray-black, white, white.

The jade is divided into five colors, which comes from "Jade Says".

The description of red jade in "Jade Saying" is clearer: [Jade is naturally beautiful, a gentleman is precious, and the category is vast, and the color is suitable to distinguish its superiority and inferiority.

The latent book says: Jade has five colors. White, yellow and blue are expensive.

The white ones are especially expensive.

The food is oily and there are snowflakes, second.

Yellow, expensive color. If it is chestnut, it is said to be sweet yellow, and the one that is burnt yellow is second.

The blue color is as blue as blue, and the black one is the first, or there is a fine black star and the light color is secondary.

There is also red jade, red as a cockscomb, and it is allowed to be called the most expensive product, which is not as good.

This kind of beautiful jade is not much to see in the world. 】

Red jade is red jade, and "Jade Saying" lists red jade as the most noble jade variety that cannot be compared, which shows the preciousness of red jade.

Everyone present also had in-depth research on ancient books, although they didn't see it at first, but at this time, after Lu Zi'an's pointing, where else did they not understand, their faces changed slightly.

Ruby is rare, especially the one that is in excellent condition.

The most important thing is that the red color of the original ruby is uniform from the inside out, regardless of the brilliance.

Everyone thought clearly about the cause and effect, and when they looked at the half-sized jade material in Lu Zi'an's hand, their eyes became more solemn.

At this time, Shen Mange had already taken the toolbox from the car, Lu Zi'an took out the Kunwu knife, looked at it, and calmly and decisively peeled off the piece of red jade from the jade skin.

His technique is extremely clean and neat, and it is rare that even if he knows that this jade is rare, his knife speed is still fast and steady.

Holding this red jade in his palm, he felt a kind of weight, which was pressed heavily in the palm of his hand, different from the lightness of Yanghua.

His eyebrows and eyes were cold, his mood was extremely peaceful, and he put aside the involvement of interests, and let his thoughts be completely immersed in this flowing red jade.

The reason why Lu Zi'an is so famous is not only because he is the founder of Baigongmen, but more importantly, every one of his works is seeking innovation and change.

This piece of ruby was quickly excavated by him, and after it was detached from the original base, people could see it more clearly.

The color is as thick as blood, and it is rare that it is still slightly transparent.

Lu Zi'an didn't use a knife anymore, but directly used sandpaper and began to polish it carefully.

Each stroke is extremely delicate, and the red jade is slowly polished into a smooth and round shape, warm in the hand, and when lying quietly in the palm of the hand, it looks like a bead of blood coming out.

Gently brushing away the debris, Lu Zi'an put it aside and picked up a piece of ebony.

If the red jade is red to the extreme, then this ebony is black and subtle and unassuming.

Lu Zi'an took this small piece of ebony and carved it carefully.

The tip of the knife is slightly raised, slowly outlining the mountains and clouds.

It's just that such a delicate picture is all hidden in this shiny and elegant ebony, and the beauty is full of clarity.

The polished ebony is more like an ink-colored brocade forging.

The unpredictable black pattern resembles a famous mountain and river, such as flowing clouds and water, better than jasper Qiongyao, which makes the impressionist master sigh to himself.

But that's not enough.

Lu Zi'an's carving knife changed faster and faster, getting smaller and smaller.

In the end, he even used only a needle as thin as a cow's hair to pick it gently.

It's fun to play with craftsmanship, and it's also fun to interpret the natural beauty of the rough.

When he comprehended the miracle of the Creator from the natural jade, and comprehended the mysteries contained in it, this was also a kind of cultivation in itself.

Therefore, in the process, he always smiled, and his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be spoiled.

After digging and carving, Lu Zi'an looked at the light source.

Although this piece of ebony is boxy, it is hollowed out in the middle, and when it is facing the light, the light source can be faintly seen, but it is not particularly obvious.

After making sure that it was fine, Lu Zi'an began to draw the wire.

Gold and silver, drawn by him into slender threads.

It is wound and inlaid with tweezers, and finally formed into a cylinder.

The middle is empty, and the silk threads around it are extremely fine.

There are several thin lines at the top that are slightly concave, forming a shallow pit.

I tried it with the red jade, and it was just enough to fit.

Then, Lu Zi'an put the finished column in the posture of holding the red jade, and slowly pushed it into the round hole of the ebony he had carved.

In everyone's puzzled and puzzled eyes, Lu Zi'an turned the ebony over and sighed: "Okay." ”

The square shape of ebony is polished and smooth, and it is extremely shiny.

The moire on it is so light that if you don't look closely, you can't even be sure if it's there.

But it is such a light and thin texture, which gives people a leisurely and comfortable feeling.

It seems that looking at this moire, I feel a lot more relaxed physically and mentally.

But that's about it.

The red jade is hidden in the ebony, and the effect is not visible.

There was no trace of the gold and silver filigree, only a thin and small round hole in the ebony wood, which showed that the scene just now was not their fantasy.

"Done?" Amherst walked over with his girlfriend in his arms and said curiously, "Is this it?"

"Hmm. Lu Zi'an nodded, his fingertips gently caressing the corner of the ebony: "This is my work-"

"Oh, don't say it!" Amherst became rare serious and looked at it seriously: "Where's your girlfriend?"

Shen Mange snorted and raised his head to look at him.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a piece of paper......" Amherst was prepared, taking out two stacks of paper and two pens from the drawer under the desk.

Seeing that they were both a little stunned, he grinned: "Of course, you can't talk about it casually like us, I can only be regarded as throwing a stone, and it depends on you." ”

Throwing bricks leads to jade, and it becomes throwing stones.

Lu Zi'an couldn't cry or laugh, and took the paper and pen.

The finger touched Shen Mange, who was also reaching out for a pen and paper next to him, and the two glanced at each other, with a faint smile on their eyebrows.

It's always easy to write the name of your work.

Lu Zi'an lifted his breath slightly, and waved it without hesitation.

"Hey, you can't read it!" Amherst stood on the side and waited, and as soon as he finished writing, he immediately put it away: "Hehe, make sure the secrecy." ”

As he spoke, he folded Lu Ziyi's answer and pressed it under his palm.

Shen Mange, who was standing in front of the table, looked at this work silently, and touched it lightly with his fingers: "Can you pick it up and look at it?"

"Absolutely. ”

Shen Mange picked up the ebony and looked at it carefully.

After a moment of silence, she picked up the pen, and her handwriting was beautiful and chic.

[Millennial dark room, one light is bright. 】

Many people around had already whispered it, and Amherst's hand on the thin piece of paper stiffened slightly.
