Chapter 455: Rosewood's (Page 1/1)

The common characteristics of these woods are resistance to moisture, insects, rot and fragrance, and they are oily. There are many kinds of it, mainly including cypress, fir, nanmu, alderwood, wild lychee wood, bitter catalpa, green nan, iron power and so on.

What's more commendable is that after tens of millions of years, they are not deformed, heavy, high density, will not be eaten by insects, some ancient sunken wood can be comparable to red sandalwood, can be called the essence of the tree, the soul of the wood, so the world will be gloomy wood as a treasure to ward off evil, blessing, town house.

Gloomy wood is a treasure left by nature to human beings, is a scarce resource that is not renewed, the ancient sunken wood with better material is quite difficult to find, in the market, there are many people looking for their traces, unfortunately, it is rare to see.

Gloomy wood has been regarded as a precious wood since ancient times, a rare thing, is a symbol of dignity and status, our folk are known as "even if there is a box of jewelry, not as good as the ebony side" and "gold ten thousand taels sent to the underworld, in exchange for the ebony sacrifice to the heavenly spirit" of the folk proverb.

After thousands of years of natural erosion, the gloomy wood is solid and heavy, the color is black and luxurious, the section is smooth and delicate, and the wood is oily, moisture-resistant, fragrant, immortal for 10,000 years, not afraid of insects, and is natural.

Due to long-term deep burial and abundant water content, wood processing is very easy to crack, deform, warp, but after drying, the processing surface is very moist and bright, and the feel is excellent. There are some gloomy wood, but also have the quaintness of the wood and the charm of the stone, in ancient times, by a lot of dignitaries, literati and scholars love and collect, they are made into favorite utensils to wear or use, those gloomy wood furniture and artwork from the gloomy wood carving, regarded as heirlooms, the treasure of the town, the thing to ward off evil spirits.

And over the years, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, gloomy wood has become the first choice for the emperors of all generations to build palaces and make coffins, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty have listed it as a special material for the royal family, and the people can not use it privately, resulting in more scarce gloomy wood.

It is said that Yuan Shikai once went to great lengths to find a gloomy wood and build a coffin for himself, but unfortunately, now he has become a traitor who criticizes and criticizes, and has been stinking in the history books for thousands of years.

"Is it an antique?"

Hearing Zhao Tianming say this, the others opened their mouths wide, and their faces changed, looking at the piece of wood that was still smoking, with a sad face, they were burning antiques?

Zhang Ping'an's ebony and the wood ebony he usually said, they still know the difference between these two things. In the past, I often heard that a lot of dug up ebony will be collected by the government, and it is said that it is a national treasure and cannot be kept privately.

It turned out to be this kind of thing? Aren't they guilty of a crime? They can't sin, right? Especially the sixth aunt, her heart is even more uneasy.

"That's right, and this is a gloomy wood formed by rosewood, which is very rare and very valuable, and you will know that it is different from ordinary wood when you listen to this aroma, and it is very comfortable and smells. Zhao Tianming said.

"Yes, it does smell good, and if you don't say it, you won't notice that it's from this piece of wood. ”

Xiao Fang leaned in and sniffed a few times, verified and said, and then, looking at the piece of wood that was still smoking, his heart ached.

How precious is rosewood, needless to say, there are not many existing rosewood, and it is difficult to find a price on the market, not to mention, it is still left tens of millions of years ago.

What kind of sin did they do? Such a precious thing was thrown away, picked up and burned as firewood?

"Then, is this still useful? won't it be scrapped like this?" asked Xiao Fang with some caution.

The sixth aunt's face also changed, she didn't care about cooking on the fire, grabbed the sand next to her, covered it on the wood, and wiped it up and down, but unfortunately, she was covered with a thick layer of sand, and the wood was still smoking.

If she didn't think she would break the wood again, she would have wanted to pour a ladle of water.

"Fortunately, it's still quite complete, as for how much it has been affected, we will have to find someone to deal with it until we find out. ”

Zhao Tianming casually picked up a small piece of wood and gently scraped it on the gloomy wood skin, observing the damage. From the scraped part, you can faintly see that the wood is bright black and purple, and it can be seen that the material is very good, and there is an indescribable beauty.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know, this wood is so precious, so what should I do now?"

The sixth aunt said eagerly, still crying a little, but she is just a housewife, usually responsible for the work of the family, taking care of the children, at most she helps to move things, she doesn't know much, and now she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Thinking of the treasure that everyone worked so hard to get back, it burned like this, and there was an unspeakable guilt and uneasiness.

"Sixth aunt, don't worry, it's none of your business, we also threw it away as garbage, you picked it up and burned it, you want to blame us, besides, didn't Brother Zhao say it? This thing is not completely broken, it can be used." ”

Dahui saw that tears began to fall as he said it, and hurriedly comforted her.

"That's right, didn't you just burn one section, cut off and leave one piece left, which can be sold for money. ”

Xiao Fang also comforted and said on the side, but his comforting words seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Don't worry! The bad is not serious, the outer layer is useless, and when the time comes, the materials will be cut off, and only the part wrapped in the inside will be useful. ”

Zhao Tianming looked at it and said, this piece of wood is more than a meter long, the thickness of a baby's wrist, but the weight is not clear. The density of rosewood is very high, especially after the quality becomes gloomy wood, the density is even higher, this small piece of wood, I am afraid that it is not less than ten catties.

I don't know how the sixth aunt got it back and burned it as firewood, I can only say that this is relatively lucky, if it is thrown away directly, or it will be burned after two days, it will disappear directly, and no one knows.

"That, Brother Zhao, is this gloomy wood of red sandalwood worth anything?"

Xiao Fang was a little itchy and said that although he was about the same age as Dahui, they were two extremes.

"Of course, it's valuable, there are very few rosewood that has survived, and it has been buried in the ground, and it has not broken down after tens of millions of years of evolution, and there are even fewer of them. Not all ancient wood buried in the ground will become gloomy wood, it requires very special conditions, and most of them will only become ordinary wreckage, such as oil and coal, which are the ancient animals and plants. ”

"Oil, coal, and gloomy wood, are actually the same thing?" Xiao Fang was surprised, he had never heard such a statement.

This naturally won't be the same thing, it can only be said to be the same source, Zhao Tianming didn't know how to explain it to him, so he ignored it directly, and continued: "Moreover, even if there are special conditions to form gloomy wood, most of them are buried underground for a long time, and only a very small number can see the light of day." However, for hundreds of millions of years, there are some that will be discovered. ”
