Chapter 171: The Legendary Kira Jade
The Red Lotus Hall is really extraordinary, and the people outside will never be able to see the scene here, only those who have really seen it will be shocked, and they will not associate it with the arrogant Dugu Master at all. The walls of the hall are inlaid with fiery red stone slabs, and each small square is engraved with a strange look of the bird, in addition, the curtains and the silk arranged on the bed are all carved with the bird, as if the owner of this house has a spiritual belief that imprisons him, almost madness.
On the floor and in the corners of the walls, bright red lotuses burst out of the ground, this hall is not large, but it is decorated like a woman's bedroom, and it is very individual.
The three of them didn't ask any extra questions, after all, Dugu Lin asked them to come here because they had important things to say to Su Xie, and Su Nan and Su Jie couldn't interject, and talking bad things was also a huge taboo.
Dugu Lin beckoned the three of them to sit on the opposite side of the board, on which there were three tea sets neatly arranged, as if they had been prepared for them a long time ago.
"Wait a minute. Dugu Lin got up, the hem of his clothes dragged on the ground, the hot teapot that was burning behind him was gurgling and bubbling, he was very particular about drinking tea, holding the teapot with both hands slowly and elegantly, and filling the tea in the pot for the three people in turn.
Su Nan was a little flattered, hurriedly snatched the teacup, and said, "My lord, I'll do it myself." β
Dugu Lin laughed and took the teacup in her hand, "This is a ceremony, everyone who comes is a guest, in different ceremonies, you have to play different roles, you don't have to be too restrained, just treat this place as your own home." β
The three of them looked at the tea in front of them, the whole body was green, and it looked particularly eye-catching, and Su Xie put it on the fingernails next to him, which had been reflected green.
"This tea...... It's so eye-catching?!" Su Xie touched the teacup lightly, and the water surface seemed to be dripping with a drop of dark green, rippling faintly.
"The tea I put in is just ordinary tea leaves, and it can't be boiled so bizarre green, but the reason why I chose it is because this kind of tea is just right with my Qiluo jade tea set, which can be perfectly integrated into one, and completely release the charm of the tea set," Dugu Lin smiled, poured himself a cup, crossed his hands, and covered the dark green teacup with wide sleeves, and handed it to his mouth," Whether you pour water or other tea mixed in, you can't achieve such a wonderful effect, only the quality of this tea is just easy to blend, although ordinary, but if poured into my Kira jade teacup, it is priceless. β
The translucent green dripped onto the coating of his tongue, Dugu Lin took a sip, slowly closed his eyes, and slowly felt the strange feeling of alternating coolness and burning heat sink into his throat.
"Qiluo Yu?!" As soon as he heard these three words, Su Nan was stunned suddenly, "How is this possible...... But just now when you handed me the teacup, this cup is obviously black, according to legend, the crown of the jade Qiluo jade, extremely rare, although it looks not so noticeable on the outside, but once the candle lamp shines on it, the jade almost the whole world of green is packed in, and then all are released, the whole house can be illuminated, generally only the royal family will use the palace lamp carved from Qiluo jade to hang in the palace, tribute to the emperor, this quality of rare jade, will also be carved jade masters from all sides into earrings, everyone's beautiful daughter to the ear, the root of the ear can be reflected green, very rareγ β
Su Jie is much thicker than his sister, naturally he doesn't know how rare this teacup is, in his eyes, how rare can jade be? No matter how rare it is, it can't compare to a dragon ball that can make people step into the Tianyuan level.
Su Xie also didn't know, but remembered that he still had a peerless Hongying knife inserted in his waist, Dugu Scale's predecessor cherished these three tea sets so much, and loved it as much as the treasure knife he wore day and night, it must also be a peerless treasure.
These three tea sets are carved from peerless jade, and generally only found in the royal family, because the number of Qiluo jade is so scarce, a one-ton stone dug out of the thumb-sized Qiluo jade can buy the entire city, in terms of its value, comparable to dragon balls.
But the terrible thing is that Dugu Scales actually has three pieces, and although the teacups are not big, they can also make a Qiluo Palace lamp together.
The value of the Qiluo Palace lamp can buy an imperial city, although Su Nan has only occasionally seen Dugu Liang a few times, but he can also see that he is a very ordinary and ordinary old man, like his father, even if he is the head of Tianshan, he will never be able to pound three Qiluo jade teacups.
According to historical records, a Qiluo man named Yin Wenda is the most famous jade carving master in the Leizhou region in the south of the surrounding continent, born in Yunnan, and his ancestors brought back a piece of jade from the jade factory, and after cutting it open, the interior was gray and black, and he didn't care, so he had to throw it in the stable.
After being trampled by a horse, Yin Wenda picked it up and looked at it at the time, took an oil lamp and pasted it with a jade photo, the jade tire was transparent and emerald green, but it was not good to look on the table. Yin Wenda had a wonderful idea, used it to make a palace lamp, and hung it in Qiluo Shuiying Temple, and the entire temple was reflected green, which was very strange.
The three of them all took a small sip, and were instantly stunned, the tea poured into the Qiluo jade teacup, but the feeling of drinking it was so mysterious?
There is a wisp of coolness in the warmth, which hits the soul.
Dugu Liang told them the story, and then said with a smile: "Yin Wenda paid tribute to the emperor of the palace lantern, and after getting it to Yunnan, as a result, the Thunder Emperor's eyes lit up after seeing it, and said: 'Good is good, but it is not a pair, it is better to stay in Yunnan if you don't have Yunnan goods.'" After that, the lamp was left in Yunnan, because it was extremely rare, and most of the pieces of jade were made into ear pieces, which could reflect the green of the ear roots. It is expensive and famous, because of its name Qiluo Jade. β
"That person named Yin Wenda is really a fool, isn't it good to keep it for himself? Even if he pays tribute to the palace, he can ask for a reward!" Su Jie slapped the table, although that person's carving skills were good, he felt that people were stupid.
"No, he really planned to pay tribute to the palace with this palace lamp at the beginning, after all, it is useless for him to ask for this jade as an ordinary person, it can be exchanged for a large price, but," Dugu Scale's face suddenly changed, and his tone became heavy," In the middle of the Leizhou region, there is the king of Yunnan Thunder, the real Leizhou royal is in the north, if you want to reach the palace, everyone can not escape the level of the emperor, therefore, Yin Wenda also failed to escape, the lamp was valued by the emperor, so he stayed, and found an excuse to say that it is Yunnan goods, since it is Yunnan goods, then stay in Yunnan, Yin Wenda was very angry, said that he was a robber, and was crowned with the crime of bullying the king, and was executed on the spot, but that was a long time ago, and now, the first generation of Yunnan King Thunder Emperor has died, and the lamp has also been exiled through the hands of countless people, and in the end, it is still back to the palaceγ β
His body had bent into a terrible C-shape, and his face was buried deep in his arms, his face hidden in the darkness, as if he cared deeply about the past that had passed.
"Now, is that lamp still in the palace?" asked Su Xie.
"Yes, but I'll never get it back, it's the king of Leizhou's thing, even if I stand up now and say it's my ancestor's thing, no one will admit it, after all, too many years have passed. Dugu Liang sighed, his eyes penetrated the turquoise teacup, and said in a deep voice.
"What?!" The three of them lost their voices together, the legendary Yunnan jade carving master would be the ancestor of Dugu Scale?
"Don't be surprised, I'm here to tell you the truth, and to let you see this peerless treasure of mine, I've been watching it alone for too many years, and I'm lonely, and I hope someone can see it. β
"My family is the Nine Xuan Scale Clan, and the Nine Xuan Scale Bird is the totem of the family, this is just a totem, it does not mean that we are aliens, but our dragon vein is congenitally mutated, everyone is the dragon vein of the Nine Xuan Scale Bird, and it has been inherited from generation to generation, and it has established a complete family system by itself," Dugu Liang picked up the teacup, and the light of Qiluo jade dark green was fused together by the tea, and the hand was full of green," Yin Wenda is our grandfather, our family was born in Leizhou Yunnan region, where is the most famous jade capital in the world, the mining industry is very developed, and our family is the most powerful family, we rely on the grandfather's ability to distinguish from ordinary people continue to open the treasure jade, the family is also prosperous. β
He sighed lightly, the latter words were obviously not a good experience, so the head of Dugu was actually a person from Leizhou, and he came to the Lanzhou area since he was a child, and it is estimated that the family has also undergone great changes, right?
"Master Dugu, isn't it inconvenient to say some things, it's better to ...... Su Jie and I will go back first. Su Nan asked.
"That's right, I brought you in this time to let you see this Qiluo jade teacup, and the next words are indeed for Su Xie, but it's cold outside, and after such a long journey, you can stay here first, I'll take him to a place where the two of them can talk alone. Dugu Liang said, drinking the tea in the cup, "Yes, you can also drink it while it's hot, if it's cold, you won't be able to experience the strange feeling of ice and fire intertwined." β
Su Nan and Su Jie nodded to each other, they sat in place and waited for Su Xie for the time being, Dugu Liang stood up, walked past the board, pushed open a stone door, and left the Red Lotus Palace.
Su Xie looked at those blooming red lotuses all the way, could it be that these flowers are also related to the Nine Xuan Scale Clan?
Outside, the sun is shining, the snow is melting in mid-air, this seems to be the place where he usually walks alone to meditate, practice and watch, the field here is very large, there is an enchantment in the sky, the ice and snow cannot cover the ground, warm as spring.
"Senior Dugu, for the rest of the words, you can continue. Su Xie stood on the high mountain flat ground outside the Red Lotus Hall and asked at a white shadow in front of him.
