Chapter 328: Dongzhu

This pearl is very large, and after weighing it, I am afraid that there will be more than one or two.

The material itself is not cheap, not to mention that it is an old thing at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

"Put it away first!" Chen Danyang asked with a smile, "What about the other beads? It shouldn't look like it's a pearl, but it's also a valuable thing, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Dongzhu. Sun Zhongyuan frowned, "However, the preservation period of pearls is not long, usually around a hundred years, if these eastern pearls are things in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, they can be preserved until now and still glow, it is really extremely rare." ”

Pearls are not unfamiliar to most people. Some people divide it into South Pearl and East Pearl.

Nanzhu is represented by pearls from the South China Sea, but it is not only from the South China Sea that it is called Nanzhu. It can be thought that when we talk about Nanzhu, we mainly talk about seafood pearls.

Seafood pearls, generally with a core. To put it bluntly, a foreign body enters the mussel shell, and then the mussel secretes a substance to envelop the foreign body.

The East Pearl, also known as the North Pearl, is a freshwater pearl, which mainly refers to the freshwater pearl produced in the Heilongjiang, Ussuri and Yalu River basins in Northeast China.

Dongzhu is seedless, and it is prone to large ones.

In the Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the imperial court had a great demand for Dongzhu. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Later Jin Dynasty had not yet been established, Nurhachi offered a lot of Dongzhu in order to confuse the Ming court and express his intention to bow down to his ministers.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the status of Dongzhu, which was produced in the "Land of Longxing", was even improved. The Manchu court believed that the Southern Pearl was certainly inferior to the Eastern Zhu. The highest grade of the Qing Dynasty pearl was also made of eastern pearl.

Dongzhu is not easy to encounter in reality, and the color is a little faintly golden. And there are indeed examples of long-term preservation, in recent years, in the auction, there have been three generations of the Qing Dynasty Dongzhu Dynasty Zhu.

"The light of this flashlight shines, it is colorful and bright, this Dongzhu is worthy of its name!" Chen Danyang looked at the time, "Don't be stunned, take it all down!"

The four of them were divided into two groups, a group of Heizi He's army, a group of Sun Zhongyuan and Chen Danyang, and a group of Arhats "pearl diving".

These 28 eastern pearls are all superb, and the inlay is the same as the central pearl, protected by a copper seat.

It is indeed more difficult to pick them one by one, but it is much easier than the pearl divers in those days to find wild mussel pearls in the river.

Because the harvesting of Dongzhu is generally in April, the river water in the northeast is still bitterly cold at this time, and it is also very difficult to catch wild mussels.

Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem "Pearl Diving", which has these lines: There are three colors and seven colors from time to time, and it is difficult to get a treasure. It is really hard to stop the Xuanjiao and reward it, and it is really difficult not to understand the peace of mind.

By the time the four of them got the twenty-eight East Pearls, it was the second half of the night.

After putting away one pearl and twenty-eight eastern pearls, and loading the five-colored jade dragon, the four of them checked it in detail again, and found nothing more, so they immediately evacuated.

Going up to the valley, the army and Kuroko carefully filled in the holes they had punched and disposed of the surface marks.

Sun Zhongyuan lit a cigarette, "The last place, after all, it was not in vain!"

Chen Danyang grinned and said, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is dead anyway, this formation is useless, and good things can't sleep underground forever." ”

The four of them carried their things on their backs, talked and laughed, walked out of the valley, and walked to the edge of the alchemy pool. Their car was parked at the bottom of the hill and a few hundred meters further on.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, behind a pine tree, a figure flashed, and by the hazy moonlight, this person could be seen holding a double-barreled shotgun in his hand!

Sun Zhongyuan's fixed eyes saw that it was actually the female man's tour guide!

"We can't sleep, come out to play at night, what are you doing?" Chen Danyang immediately said with a smile.

"Don't giggle!" the female guide raised her gun, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Eldest sister, it seems that we should ask you about this. Is there a rule in this place that tourists can't come to play at night? But you, with a murder weapon in your hand, are you planning to rob or what?" Sun Zhongyuan said.

"These days, you come out every night and sleep in the hotel during the day. Let me find it today, sure enough, here in the alchemy pool!" The girl guide looked serious, "Are you tomb robbers?"

"Eldest sister, you are a local, have you heard of a tomb here?" Chen Danyang was serious.

Sun Zhongyuan thought to himself, this female tour guide is really a bit worried about the country and the people, "Sister, you say, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just don't want to get into trouble! If you do something illegal and criminal, I have been a tour guide for you, won't you be unlucky?" said the female guide, took two steps back, held a shotgun in one hand, and took out a mobile phone in the other, "If you are really above board, I will call the police station, make it clear together, and I will just clear up the relationship." ”

Sun Zhongyuan couldn't cry or laugh, "Even if something really happens, even if it finds you, you pretend not to know, it's okay?"

"I'm a man who likes to be down-to-earth!" said the female guide and began to dial.

Sun Zhongyuan was helpless and shouted, "Slow!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the female man was slightly stunned, she suddenly rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed in front of her.

Although the female man was holding a shotgun, she was actually not ready to shoot, Sun Zhongyuan's speed was too fast, and when she arrived in front of her, she had just reacted, so she had to smash Sun Zhongyuan with a shotgun.

How could Sun Zhongyuan let her smash it? His hands flew and interspersed, and Tiangang used thirty-six hands.

The female man's eyes were dazzling, and the mobile phone and shotgun were in Sun Zhongyuan's hands.

At this time, the three of them also surrounded them, and the army and the sunspot had cold eyes and unkind faces.

"You, what do you want to do?" the woman was frightened. It was the middle of the night, and it was in the middle of the night! She regretted not calling the police in advance, and she also regretted that she was too reckless to come out alone and follow. However, she was not sure that she would be able to find them.

Sun Zhongyuan was depressed, he had a lot of gains, everything went well, who knew that he would bite the gold halfway. Moreover, they are not really Jiangyang thieves, they kill people without blinking, what can they do to this female man's guide.

"Eldest sister, why don't you believe it? Tomb robbers? It's a shame that you think of it! We have no ill will towards you, but it's too troublesome to call the police, who wants to toss in the bureau?" Sun Zhongyuan said sincerely.

Chen Danyang thought for a while, "That's it, eldest sister, you let them go, and then you call the police, I'll wait here, and I will make it clear to the police with you." If there is a person left, then the monk will run away and the monk will not be able to run to the temple, what do you think?"

The female guide was a little surprised, the gun was confiscated, and the people were also "surrounded", but she could still keep someone to accompany her and wait for the police to come?
