Chapter 756: Nine Dragons Scepter

The shrine usually refers to a structure similar to a "pavilion", and is generally used to worship things. For example, there is a stove niche in the kitchen, which is dedicated to the stove king, and there are niches in some shops to worship the God of Wealth. Buddha shrines and shrines are more common, because there are many Buddha offerings to the gods.

Since it is held in a shrine, it has the meaning of worship, and at the very least, it also has the meaning of respecting and exalting in it.

The most central niche, the smallest in size, is more like a delicate pavilion, made of Hetian blue and white jade. The whiteness of Hetian green and white jade is not enough, but the jade quality is generally excellent and full of oiliness. Back then, it was a time of chaos, and it was not easy to get such a good piece of Hetian green and white jade.

Inside the "pavilion" of green and white jade, there is a small golden box, which is made of pure gold at a glance, about ten centimeters square. There is no lock on the lid, as if it is closed up and down, but only a small trace can be seen, and the fit is very tight.

The niche on the left, more like a tray with a back wall, is not small in diameter, more than half a meter. The colors are also very colorful, red, yellow, green and white, mainly on a white background, and the back wall is more green, and it is dotted with some yellow and red ornaments.

This "tray" is the texture of Dushan jade. Together with Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyu and Lantian jade, known as the four famous jades, are all named after the place of origin. Of course, the latter three are much inferior to Hetian jade in terms of jade quality and market conditions. However, the so-called inferiority is that, in general, any kind of jade, among which the best is not cheap.

On the "tray" is a large wooden square box, gray-green texture, gold wire flashing, at a glance, it is made of golden silk nan gloomy wood.

Dushan jade is produced in Dushan in the Central Plains Province, and gloomy wood is also produced in Tianfu Province. The origin of these two things is considered to be within Zhang Xianzhong's former sphere of influence, it is not difficult to get it, this "tray" and box, the shape is also very large, the box is one foot square, and it is a top plate pull structure.

The niche on the right side is more like a flower basket, but the top and bottom do not change much, and the base is thicker. It is about two feet tall and about ten centimeters in diameter.

The material of this "flower basket" is more expensive, and it is bloodstone. Moreover, it has been hollowed out, and most of the places without "blood" have been dug up, and the pattern of tangled branches and flowers has been formed, and the blood-colored peony, the body of wealth and wealth, is a bewitching color.

Bloodstone and Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Bahrain stone and called the "four great stones". At present, there are many origins, such as the origin of Bahrain stone, and there is also bloodstone. However, it is always the most famous for Changhua chicken blood.

Bloodstone is generally used to make seals, such a large bloodstone, and it is frozen ground, the color is bright red, although it is not full of blood, but because of the material on the blood carved skillfully. This "flower basket" alone is also worth a lot of money today.

"It is said that Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, is rich, and it is really true! And unlike the nouveau riche, these three things are not only made of good materials, but also have such excellent craftsmanship! Sun Xiaowei muttered, but his eyes were fixed on a "stick" inserted in the "flower basket".

This "stick", to be exact, a scepter, is the only one of the three that has not been packed. This thing is not easy to install, it is too long, to say the least, it is one meter two.

The scepter itself is milky white and yellowish in color, and the upper and lower ends are covered with gold, and the head of the scepter on top is large, oblate, and streamlined. The bottom of the scepter below is simply sealed with a golden plug in the shape of the scepter itself.

The scepter is not thin, about five or six centimeters in diameter, and its texture seems to have spiral lines, like strands intertwined. There are some carvings, too, but they don't destroy the shape of the carving.

"Can you take it?" Tang Yi asked Wen Jia.

"I think it's okay." Wen Jia stared at the scepter, "What kind of material is this?" Ivory? ”

Tang Yi pulled out the scepter from the "flower basket", which was made of a whole piece of material, and the five-clawed dragon was carved on it! I counted it, and there were nine in total!

"It's a whole piece of material. Have you ever seen such a long, straight tusk? Tang Yi weighed it, it was indeed the texture of the bone teeth.

"It looks like something like bone and ivory, but what is it if it's not ivory? Could it be a bone? Not like that! Wen Jia looked at Sun Xiaowei and Gao Taiming again, in this regard, he was indeed inferior to these three people.

"Nine Dragonscepter!" Sun Xiaowei took it from Tang Yi's hand, "This is indeed a whole root, but it is only one of the sections, and from the perspective of coarseness, it is not a root material." ”

Wen Jia was even more confused, what could grow such long teeth or bones?

"I can't imagine that Zhang Xianzhong can get such a thing! Perhaps, it's just that it's rare that I made it into a scepter! Tang Yi took a deep breath, five claws, nine dragons, his ambition is not small, this is to unify China and win the title of China, but in the end, he died in a chaotic arrow!

Gao Taiming was also attracted by this scepter, and stared at it with Sun Xiaowei.

"Okay, don't sell it, tell me quickly!" Wen Jia stretched out her hand and fanned Tang Yi a few times in front of his eyes.

"Horned whales, have you? That's its horn! Tang Yi smiled, "Of course, it is said that it is a horn, just because it looks alike, but it is actually an overgrown canine tooth that protrudes from the outside of the lip, which can reach more than three meters long." ”

"Horned whales? There's no such thing in the waters around Huaxia, right? Wen Jia frowned.

Sun Xiaowei interjected, "It's true, this thing is mainly in the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, and it likes deep diving, so it is difficult to catch." I haven't heard that this thing will appear in ancient China! In addition, under the conditions at the time, it was difficult for foreigners to be captured, and it was possible that they would die of natural causes or be stranded or something. ”

"At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, how could Zhang Xianzhong get this thing?" Wen Jia then asked.

"What does that say? Hundreds of years ago! Don't talk about him, I haven't heard of this thing in the palaces of all dynasties! History, there are many things that are inexplicable, and there are also many things that cannot stand scrutiny! Why did the state set up a collection office? Because physical objects are more credible than written records! Tang Yi looked at Sun Xiaowei and Gao Taiming with a smile.

"Yes, by explaining the Horned Whale Tooth Scepter, you explained the importance of our work in passing, thank you!" Sun Xiaowei smiled, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Tang Yi: "There are still two boxes, you still have to focus on your palms!" ”

Gao Taiming, who has never said much, suddenly said very seriously: "I finally understand why Director Jiang tried his best to let the two of you come!" A master of Xuanmen, an invincible eye! ”

"Prizes, prizes!" Tang Yi arched his hand.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Wen Jia nodded.

"Okay, don't gasp, two, which box to see first?" Sun Xiaowei hurriedly interrupted.

"Gold Box!" At this moment, the other three people spoke almost in unison.
