"The famous orb?"

For a moment, Yu Feibai speculated: "Could it be the famous Sui Houzhu?" ”

At this time, on the top of this space, there are only a few small lights arranged in a staggered manner, as if the stars are holding the moon, surrounding a jewel. Under the backdrop of small lights, the pearl scales the soft light, reflecting the whole space as if it were day, and the light is not dazzling at all, which makes people feel comfortable and magical.

Seeing such a situation, and hearing Hou Lao say that this is a famous jewel in history, Yu Feibai's first reaction was to think of Sui Hou Zhu. There is no way, who said that among the many jewels in history, Sui Houzhu is the most famous.

According to historical records, the pearl of the Marquis of Sui, the bi of Bian He, and the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period. Needless to say, Bian Hezhibi is He's Bi, which was later changed to a jade seal of the country, and its name has been passed down through the ages.

As for the pearl of the Hou of Sui, it is not bad, also known as the bright moon pearl and the spirit snake pearl. The bright moon beads indicate that the beads are like moonlight, and the light is very clear and soft. The other name of the spirit snake bead comes from a legend.

Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a broken snake hill with the state. When he traveled with Hou, he saw that the big snake was broken in two, and saw that the snake was a little supernatural, so he ordered the entourage to treat it with medicine, and the snake was able to move immediately. A year later, the serpent pearl came to repay the marquis.

However, in the Warring States Period, Suiguo was destroyed by Chu, and Sui Houzhu also fell into the hands of the King of Chu. But such a good thing also stayed in the state of Chu for a long time, when the state of Qin dominated the world, and in order to curry favor with the state of Qin, the state of Chu had to obediently offer things.

Before Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin State, did not soar, he once wrote a book of exhortations to the guests, and it was mentioned in the article that His Majesty has sent the jade of Kunshan, which has the treasure of easy-going and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon......

The easy-going and harmonious treasure here actually refers to Sui Houzhu and He's Bi. But it's a pity that He's Bi is okay. At least it has been passed down to the Yuan Dynasty, and there are still traces to be examined. But after the Hou Zhu of Sui was Qin Shi Huang, his whereabouts are unknown. Some people think that Sui Houzhu should have been buried with Qin Shi Huang, so that he could replace the anointing candle lighting in the tomb.

Of course, all this is just speculation, just like Yu Feibai is now, and he is also guessing that the thing is Sui Houzhu. But whether it's right or not depends on what Hou Lao says.

"This is not Sui Houzhu."

However, at this time. Hou Lao shook his head and said, "It's Shangqing Zhu!" ”

"Shangqing Zhu? What's that? ”

When Yu Feibai heard this, he was immediately confused: "Is there such a jewel in history?" ”

"It's really unlearned." At this time, Qian Lao couldn't help but criticize: "I don't even know Shangqingzhu, I have to read more books in the future." ”

"Oh."

Yu Feibai obediently listened to the training, and then asked softly: "Wang Guan, do you know Shangqingzhu?" ”

Obviously, he was unwilling to be criticized by himself, and he also wanted to drag Wang Guan into the water. In this regard, Wang Guan smiled lightly. Nodding his head, he said, "Of course I know, this is something from the Tang Dynasty." Not only the Shangqing beads, but also the memorization beads and the dust beads, these three things are known as the three major pearls of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Not really."

Yu Feibai was stunned: "I can understand the dust beads." But what about the memo beads and the supernatant beads? ”

"Speaking of memorization beads, they are also a bit magical."

At this time, Wang Guan smiled and explained: "It is said that in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the then prime minister Zhang said that there was a bead. The blue color is bright, and it is as warm as jade. Or if there is something to forget, just play with the beads. I feel that my mind is enlightened, no matter how big or small, I know clearly, and I have nothing to forget, so it is also called a memory bead. ”

"Is it really that mysterious?" Yu Feibai was somewhat skeptical: "It's really a fake ......"

"It may be an exaggeration, but the beads are true."

At this time, Hou Lao smiled: "Moreover, we feel that this may be a psychological suggestion. When playing with the orb, it is actually a process of calming down, and when the mind is calm, some things will naturally become clear. ”

"Well, it's not impossible." Yu Feibai thought about it and agreed: "After all, many things are like this, and in the process of circulation, it is easy to be exaggerated." ”

"If only you understood."

Elder Hou nodded, and then continued: "As for Shangqing Zhu, it is something that Tang Xuanzong gave to his son Li Heng. ”

"When Li Heng was a child, he was very loved by Tang Xuanzong, and even once said to people that there is a lot of difference here, and he will be blessed with a son of heaven in my family. After complimenting, he asked someone to go to the royal treasury to fetch the treasured treasure Shangqing Pearl, personally wrapped it in crimson light yarn, and then tied it around Li Heng's neck to increase auspiciousness. ”

While speaking, Hou Lao sighed: "However, the ancient emperors were the most forgetful, which is the so-called heavenly family without family affection. Anyway, after Li Heng grew up, especially after becoming the prince, there was a gap between father and son, and even Tang Xuanzong wanted to abolish this prince several times. However, it happened to encounter the Anshi Rebellion, and Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to abdicate, so that Li Heng became the emperor. ”

However, Li Heng, the emperor, was not happy, and died after six years on the throne. In the past six years, the Anshi Rebellion has not ended, and he died a disgraceful death, he was scared to death by Li Fuguo, the first eunuch in charge of military power in the Tang Dynasty and troubled the court. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Lao shook his head: "The power struggle in the Tang Dynasty court, from beginning to end, was so bloody. This is to blame Li Shimin, who opened a precedent for the Xuanwumen Change, and future generations will follow suit, and they have never calmed down......"

"Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, from ancient times to the present, which dynasty is polite in the struggle for power? Even during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were still candle shadow axes, foxes changing princes, palace rebellions and so on. ”

Yu Feibai said disapprerovingly: "No matter ancient or modern, as long as power interests are involved, the struggle is very dirty. Compared with the power struggle in the palace, I want to know the specific origin of this Shangqing pearl. Why is it called Shangqing Pearl, and what is the reason for it to appear in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty court? ”

"According to historical records, the Shangqing Pearl is a treasure offered by the Western Regions."

At the same time, Hou Lao explained: "If you stare for a long time, you will slowly feel that there are flying immortals, jade girls, and white cranes in the orb, shaking their bodies, like Shangqing fairyland, so there is the name of Shangqing Pearl." ”

"Really?"

When Yu Feibai heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and watched.

"It must be fake, stupid boy, believe it, it's so easy to coax."

At this time, Zhou Lao couldn't help but smile and said: "At that time, this thing was enshrined in the Shangqing Palace in the palace, so it was simply called Shangqing Pearl." ”

"Ah......h

For a moment, Yu Feibai was stunned, but he didn't expect that Hou Lao was actually blind.

"That's why I said, I usually read more books, so as not to be bluffed by others in a few words." Qian Lao shook his head and chuckled: "Eat a trench to grow wise, be smart in the future, don't be so easy to be fooled." ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yu Feibai looked embarrassed, and after a few words in his heart, he quickly changed the topic: "The top of the head is the Shangqing Pearl, so what is it underneath?" ”

The room wasn't big, but it wasn't small. In addition to the supernatant beads inlaid on the top, there is also a table on the ground, and there are two boxes on top of the table, one long and two boxes.

At this time, Yu Feibai pointed to the box, not only to divert everyone's attention, but also to be a little curious, guessing that the things in the box should not be simple. In fact, Hou Lao walked over, opened a box, and then took out an object. In an instant, a crystal luster flashed out.

"What is this?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai hurriedly stared intently, only to see that the thing was the thickness of a thumb and round, like a small stick. However, instead of being woody, it resembles jade, echoing the pearl light on the top, giving off a moist glow.

"It's a whip, nephrite whip."

As he spoke, Hou Lao broke his hands, only to see that the round thing was bent all of a sudden, and the end was directly connected. Then he opened a hand lightly, only to see it bounce straight and tremble slightly.

"A whip made of nephrite?"

For a moment, Wang Guan was also a little surprised: "Is there really nephrite in the world?" ”

Of course, the nephrite here is not nephrite as opposed to jadeite jadeite, but soft jade. Generally speaking, the so-called nephrite refers to physical properties. Measuring the hardness of jade, there is a Mohs coefficient, jade with a Mohs coefficient higher than 6.5 can be called jadeite, and jade lower than 6.5 is nephrite.

However, the nephrite jade in Hou Lao's mouth is obviously not nephrite in the scientific definition, but a nephrite that is really soft as a spring, can be bent and straightened at will, and is soft and rigid.

"It is said that nephrite jade is actually a bit unworthy of the name, but there is also an element of jade in it."

At this time, Hou Lao said with a smile: "According to our research, this nephrite whip should actually be a mixture of jade and resin. It must have been a long, long time ago, some jade powder was mixed with a certain resin, and after thousands of years of evolution, although it did not form amber, it produced some mutations and became nephrite. ”

"Ah, I see."

After saying that, Yu Feibai's interest was still undiminished, and he took the nephrite whip in Hou Lao's hand, and after playing with it carefully for a few minutes, he still couldn't stop it, and then looked at another box: "What kind of treasure is there?" ”

"Pretty much something." Hou Lao smiled: "But this one has almost formed amber." ”

While speaking, Hou Lao also opened the other box, Wang Guan and the others hurriedly looked, only to see that the box was also something similar to a whip. But the appearance of this whip is much more exquisite, someone painted the shape of a phoenix, a turtle and a dragon on the whip, and it shines even more under the light, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.

"This is the Whip!"

At the right time, Hou Lao explained: "Although the texture is not as soft as the nephrite whip, it is more crystal clear and has better purity. Anyway, the two whips are ancient court treasures, and they are considered to be rare treasures. ”

Others think so, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, such things are rare.

However, Yu Feibai still couldn't change his personality of liking the new and hating the old, and after visiting a few treasures, he found that there were no other treasures in the room, and immediately urged Hou Lao to continue walking.

After a while, everyone continued to go deeper, and slowly came to a spacious space, where there were naturally treasures...... (To be continued......)
