Chapter 1105 Full of Blood Jade Cicada

……

"So, this jade cicada is contained in the mouth of a dead man?" Chen Bao said with a look of disgust.

"What's the matter, how do you still get bad luck? Don't forget that your jade heng was also taken from a dead man!" Liu Dong said angrily.

Hearing this, Chen Bao glanced at the jade heng in his hand, and hurriedly threw it to Liu Dongdao: "Then I still don't want it!"

"I really can't stand you, now more than 80% of the real things in the antique market are taken out of the tomb, if you don't even like this, then you don't even want to play any collection in the future, and you will look uncomfortable!" Liu Dongdao said after taking Yu Heng.

"Then I will only collect calligraphy and paintings in the future! Most of the calligraphy and painting should not be things from the tomb, right?" After some entanglement, Chen Bao immediately said.

"Shout, it's quite fine!" After glancing at him, Liu Dong smiled, "That's right, most of the calligraphy and paintings that have been handed down now have been passed down from generation to generation!"

Generally speaking, the environment in the ancient tombs is dark and damp, and ceramics, copper, iron, jade, and lacquerware can be preserved, but paper, silk, and fabrics are more difficult. Therefore, most of the ancient paintings and calligraphy that circulate in the market, and even the ancient paintings and calligraphy that are collected are handed down from ancient times, which is why the appraisal of calligraphy and painting pays attention to a 'inheritance and order'!

"Hehe, that's good!" After being happy for a while, Chen Bao, who had reacted, returned to the original topic, "Brother Dong, listen to what you just said, since the burial system of this jade plug nine orifices was so popular in the Qin and Han dynasties, then there should be a lot of this jade cicada handed down, how can it be so valuable? More than 10 million Huaxia coins, converted into pounds, are almost 1 million!"

stopped Chen Bao's words. Liu Dong looked at the quaint jade cicada in his hand that was congealed like blood. With a hint of excitement on his face, he said, "Gu Yu is not worth anything." The key is to look at three points!"

"Three o'clock?"

"That's right, one look at the quality of the jade, the second look at the carving, the third look at the color! From the point of view of jade quality, the material of this jade cicada is the first-grade Dushan white jade, as one of the four famous jade in China, the high-grade white jade material of Dushan jade in Henan Province has been excavated for more than 6,000 years!

"Wait, Brother Dong. This jade cicada is obviously a piece of red jade?" Chen Bao interrupted.

"Can't you just wait for me to finish?"

Looking at the angry look on Liu Dong's face, Chen Bao smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, Brother Dong, it's my fault, you say, I'll listen to it well!"

After glancing at Chen Bao angrily, Liu Dong continued: "After finishing talking about the jade, I am looking at the carver. The knife technique is concise, but the lines are simple but not messy. The image between the sketches is extremely vivid, and the jade cicada is full of antiquity. This technique is obviously a typical feature of the 'Han Eight Knife'! Moreover, the knife work of the person who carved this jade cicada has reached the realm of a great master, which is really rare!"

At this moment, Chen Bao wanted to ask what kind of realm the 'master' was, but thinking of Liu Dong's anger just now, he obediently swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.

"After talking about carving, I am talking about this color! Qin color refers to the phenomenon that jade is in contact with water, soil, or other substances in the environment for a long time, and after a long time, the naturally produced water or minerals erode the jade body, causing the color of the jade to change in part or as a whole. The common colors are water white, cinnabar red, earth brown and red, mercury black, iron dark red, copper green!"

"Then is this Cinnabar Qin or Tuqin?" Chen Bao said cautiously.

He is a straightforward and fast-talking person who can't hold back words in his stomach, and it is already rare to hold back a question just now without saying it!

But Liu Dong, who was in excitement at the moment, didn't care, "No, this is Xueqin!"

"Bloodstained?"

As soon as he heard this word, Chen Bao always felt a little cautious in addition to being curious!

"That's right! Generally speaking, the burial system of the Nine Orifices of the Jade Plug is for the dead. The blood of the dead is coagulated, the whole body is cold, and it rarely causes blood to form in the mouth, and even if it does appear occasionally, it is always in the corners of the sporadic blood!"

"So what is this?"

"This completely bloody jade cicada can only appear under one circumstance!" Speaking of this, Liu Dong showed a sigh on his face, "That is to bury the living!"

"Burial of the living, isn't that just a pit killing?" this is too cruel!" Chen Bao couldn't help but say angrily.

"It's really cruel, so there have been very few bloody jade cicadas since ancient times, and every one of them is a national treasure of immeasurable value!" Liu Dong said.

In fact, in ancient China's slave society and feudal society, it was not uncommon for living people to be buried! Especially in the slave society, it was even more ordinary, and almost every prince and king would be buried with dozens or even hundreds of slaves, and there were more than a dozen ordinary nobles.

But the buried slaves can't enjoy the burial system of a top nobleman like Yusai Jiuqi!

Therefore, it has also created a rarity full of blood in the mouth!

Until now, it was the first time for Liu Dong to see this kind of bloody jade cicada! Before, when he heard this rare antique from Li Lao's mouth, he always thought it was a legend!

"Brother Dong, can I take a look at this bloody jade cicada?" After calming down, Chen Bao couldn't help but say.

"What's the matter? Don't you think the dead are bad luck?"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Looking at Liu Dong, who was smirking to hide his embarrassment, he didn't criticize Chen Bao too much, "Here, take it!

"Great, don't worry, Brother Dong, I'm sure I'll take care of it!" Chen Bao said immediately.

After giving the jade cicada to Chen Bao, looking at his interested, Liu Dong chuckled and shook his head, and then stood up.

"Brother Dong, why are you going?"

"This morning, I promised Elder Wen to attend the collection exchange meeting of the Beijing Collection Association, and the time is about the same, I am ready to leave! After you finish admiring the jade cicada at home, remember to put it in my room!" Liu Dong said.

"Wait, Brother Dong, you can take me with you too!"

Chen Bao, who likes to be lively, couldn't care about appreciating the jade cicada worth 10,000 gold at the moment, so he quickly stood up and grabbed Liu Dong's arm.

Looking at the eager look on his face, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Are you going too? What are you going to do? You must know that any antique on it is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands! Do you have so much money in your hand?"

Although Chen Bao's family is wealthy, but the Chen family's family rules are strict, and under the influence of foreign education methods, as a child, Chen Bao has never received a penny from his family after graduating from university, and now all the money spent is earned by working in college!

"Hehe, cousin, don't I still have you?" Chen Bao hurriedly followed the big snake with the stick.

"Don't, when I came out, the fifth aunt specifically told me that I can't give you money to spend!" Liu Dong sternly refused.

"Then it's no problem for me to see it, right? Didn't you tell me that if you want to be a good collector and appraiser, you usually have to look at the real thing?" Chen Bao hurriedly said.

Looking at the tangled and eager look on his face, Liu Dong smiled, "Okay, no longer joking with you! Give me the jade cicada, go clean up by yourself, and we'll leave in a while!"

"Great, give, Brother Dong, wait for me!" When he said the back, Chen Bao's figure had already disappeared behind the door.

"What an emergency!"

Glancing at the jade cicada in his hand, he flipped his palm, and after receiving the things into the mustard seed space, Liu Dong turned around and walked back to his room. When he came out after changing his clothes, Chen Bao was already waiting outside in a suit and leather shoes.

"We're not going to a banquet, so we don't have to dress so formally!"

Looking at Liu Dong's casual clothes and then at himself, Chen Bao immediately said, "Is it? Why don't I go and change my clothes again?"

"Forget it, don't waste your time!

Liu Dong, who waved his hand, drove out of the house with Chen Bao!

The private hall of the Beijing Collection Association, 'Ruyi Xuan', Liu Dong had not been to it before, but there was an address given by Wen Lao, and Liu Dong, who had already memorized the entire map of the capital in his mind with his ability to never forget, found his destination almost without any forks in the road.

It is also that there are not as many vehicles in the capital now, and the roads are not very congested, so it does not take much time.

"Here we are, here it is!"

Rushing to the six-storey building in front of him, which looked ordinary from the outside, and only hung the 'Ruyi Xuan' plaque at the door, Liu Dong parked the car in the parking lot in front of the door and walked down with Chen Bao.

"I thought that the Beijing Collection Association Hall would be in such a luxurious place, it turned out to be such an ordinary floor!" Chen Bao said with some contempt after a little bit of contempt.

"Collecting is art, cultivation, and culture. What do you want to do so luxuriously!Let's go! By the way, don't talk nonsense after you go in, or I won't care if someone else blows you out!" Liu Dong instructed.

"Hehe, don't worry, your cousin and I are smart, not only will I not let them coax me out when the time comes, but also let the guys inside treat me like a guest!" Chen Bao said proudly.

"Heh, I didn't expect that within a few days of coming back, you learned a few words!"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head slightly, and Liu Dong walked towards the door with Chen Bao.

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is a private club!"

Unsurprisingly, Liu Dong and Chen Bao were stopped by security guards at the door.

"We were invited by Vice President Wen Shuren!" replied Liu Dong, who had been prepared for a long time.

Obviously, the security guard here is very familiar with Wen Shuren, the vice president of the Beijing Collection Association, but despite being familiar with it, this security guard is quite loyal, and did not immediately let Liu Dong in, but continued: "Please show the invitation!"

"Invitation?" Liu Dong frowned.

At the beginning, Wen Shuren and Chang Wei didn't give him this!

"I'm sorry, I can't let you in without an invitation!" said the security guard after noticing the embarrassed look on Liu Dong's face. (To be continued.) )
