Chapter 746: Unidentified
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Jing lifted the third piece of cloth, revealing a small glass jar, and one of them, a jade mouse, immediately attracted everyone's attention. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This jade rat is relatively large, this kind of real mouse is estimated to be more than half a catty, it is generally warm and white and delicate, and the jade quality is very good, but inside it, you can see a blood-red color, like blood vessels all over the body, it looks a little terrifying, and there is an inexplicable sense of amazement. It's so impressive that I can't help but look at it again.
"This should be Hetian Yu, right?"
"That's right, so warm and delicate, it should still be the top Hetian jade. ”
"But there's a blood-red streak in it. ”
"Could this be the legendary thousand-year-old blood jade?"
"This carving is also too powerful, too lifelike. ”
"Look at the hair, the beard, the eyes, it's like the real thing. ”
"This should be the same as that beautiful stone carving, from the same person, right?"
Everyone was stunned, and some knowledgeable people such as Xie Lao, Liu Hong, and Tao Qinzhu were also completely stupid. First of all, the material of this piece of jade is very top-notch, no matter from which angle, it is impossible to find flaws; secondly, it is very large, and Hetian jade mice have not seen it, but there are not many of them of this size;
Again, the carving is too against the sky and too special, the general carving of jade animal ornaments, where may even a hair carved out, so too difficult, will waste too much jade, especially those few whiskers and long tails dragged back, in order to a few long beards and tails, how much jade is removed, but carved into such lifelike, too amazing, can not say that this is a waste.
Another point, which shocked them the most, was the blood color inside. This seems to be the thousand-year-old blood jade, and the blood color is also thought to be like a blood vessel-like pattern, which has an inexplicable sense of amazement.
"Old Xie, is this a thousand-year-old blood jade?" asked Liu Hong.
"It looks like it should be, this shouldn't be dyed. However, it's a bit strange and unreasonable for blood to form like this. Xie Lao was shocked and suspicious.
"Yes, if it is blood jade, the blood color should spread from the outside, how can there be no outside and inside, and the blood is distinct, it's too strange. Another old man was also surprised.
"However, this blood-colored blood vessel pattern is really too evil and beautiful. Tao Qinzhu said.
"What is a thousand-year-old blood jade?" Qian Yingning couldn't help but ask.
"The so-called thousand-year-old blood jade, the legend refers to the jade that has penetrated the blood, not a natural jade, whether it is jade, Khotanese jade, or topaz and other categories, as long as it is really bloody, it is blood jade. But in fact, blood jade is an inaccurate term, and it is rare for someone to say the word 'blood jade' in jade shops and antique shops. In the ancient jade, some jade will appear red after entering the soil, so some people call this kind of red Qin blood. Qing Dynasty ancient jade collectors called this kind of red ancient jade Xueqin, and they believed that Xueqin was made by the corpse decaying blood into the jade. But this statement is unscientific, according to modern scientific tests and experiments, blood will quickly carbonize in the ground, and it will not penetrate into the hard jade body like inorganic matter. The red qin on the ancient jade is the oxidation and decomposition of the iron element in the soil or the iron in the burial goods into the jade body. The common blood stains are dark red or reddish-brown, which are caused by iron. Xie Lao explained in detail.
"Then is this blood jade precious?" Liu Qing asked.
"Of course, jade is very delicate and not easy to appear colored, and the speed at which the iron element penetrates into it is very slow and slow, and the more delicate and high-quality the jade, the more difficult it is. Generally, there is a wide range of blood, which takes thousands of years, so it is also called thousand-year-old blood jade. So, cherish it very much, although some people find it bloody and terrifying, but there are many more people who are addicted to it, and the price has remained high. Xie Lao continued to explain.
When everyone heard this, they had a general understanding, and they also understood the strangeness they said before, since the blood color is the iron element in the soil that penetrates into it, then it naturally penetrates into the inside from the outside, how can there be no epidermis, and it appears directly inside? And why are the blood blood vessels so distinct?
Su Jing listened to the words of Xie Lao and the others, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, in fact, the reason why he took this jade mouse out was just to see if everyone could see the clues, and he knew best in his heart that this was not the legendary thousand-year-old blood jade at all. The so-called thousand-year-old blood jade is not really infiltrated with blood, but the element of iron. But what is inside this jade rat is probably really coagulated blood.
It's a bit evil to say, Su Jing also took a long time to accept, the five kinds of medicinal powders he got from the demon law, he didn't test them all with mice, he had already tested them, one of them was deformation powder, one was ice berry powder, and one kind of mouse became very uncomfortable and dying after eating it. But what Su Jing didn't expect was that when he went to see it again after a while, the dying mouse turned into a jade mouse, that is, the one in front of him, which stunned him at the time, which was simply unscientific.
Turning his mind, he thought of the magic of magicians, the magic of the demon law space-time magicians are high-ranking existences, they basically do not greed for money, because a qualified alchemist can turn stubborn stones into gems, and gems are just ordinary magic props for them at most. This kind of medicinal powder may be similar to the magic of turning stones into gold, so it turns the rats that eat it into jade.
In other words, the reason why this mouse is lifelike is not a carving, it is a real mouse in itself, and the blood vessels in it are bloody, and for some reason it has not turned into jade. Of course, the long beard and tail are not as others imagine, and a lot of jade is wasted for carving.
"Old Xie, what about this jade mouse?" asked Qian Jibing.
Xie Lao did not make up his mind, but discussed it with several other people, all of whom were his friends, some of whom worked in this museum, and some of whom were just experts in this area. While they were discussing, they also looked at the jade rat carefully, and took out various tools to inspect it.
In the end, they came to a conclusion that they could not identify. You can't see it just by looking at it, the blood color is inside, and you can't destroy the outside, take the jade inside for identification. Of course, they were inclined to think that it was a real blood jade, because there was no trace of fraud. However, even if it was certain that this was really blood jade, it would not be able to estimate the value. Such jade, so carved, so bloody, it is simply unheard of, and it is the only one in the world. (To be continued.) )
