Chapter 371: Sui Hou Zhu (2)
For Sui Houzhu, this kind of "treasure" with the same name as He's Bi, it can no longer be simply called a national treasure! The reason why Wu Chen never thought about it in this regard was because he couldn't find out its age, and secondly, the records of Suihou Zhu in history have always been mysterious, and they don't look like real objects.
The earliest records of the Marquis of Sui should be found in the books "Zhuangzi" and "Han Feizi", and in Li Si's "Book of Exhortations to the Guest", he said to Qin Shi Huang: "The jade of Kunshan under His Majesty is the treasure of Sui and He, and the pearl of the bright moon...... This number of treasures, Qin is not born, and His Majesty is happy, why not? ”
Even if he has always criticized "extravagance", believing that rich countries do not seek more treasures and foreign objects, but in the eyes of the talented Mo family, Sui Houzhu is also a rare treasure in the world. "Zhubi" mentioned: "The Bi of the He's family, the pearl of the Hou, the three thorns and six differences, the good treasure of the princes." ”
The ancients have always called Suihou Zhu and Heshi Bi as "Spring and Autumn Two Treasures", "Suizhu and Bi" or "Easy-going", which shows its preciousness!
It can be said that if the national treasures and cultural relics are ranked, the easy-going two treasures plus the heirloom jade seal are definitely among the top three!
It is a pity that these three peerless treasures have passed in the long river of time, and future generations can only experience their brilliance from the words of the document. And now, Sui Hou Zhu actually appeared here, how could he not make the master and apprentice two ecstatic?
"Ahem, no, I said Master, why didn't you say it earlier last time!" Wu Chen originally thought it was the Pearl of the Night, which was already extremely rare, but he didn't expect it to be this legendary object, and he was overjoyed and a little incoherent.
"What words! At the time, I was just confused! Liu Lao glared at him, this kind of heavy treasure, where can you just say it!" Just for you, I didn't waste any effort! ”
It turned out that after Liu Lao's hand took this bead that day, when Wu Chen went back, he studied it alone, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like the legendary waiting bead! Excited, in the exclusive secret book "Treasure Road" handed down by the Guigu Society, there are detailed records of the national treasures of the past dynasties, including some treasures that have been lost or only exist in legends.
In the first part of the pre-Qin period, there is a record about this pearl, "On the side of the poor water in Sui County, there is a broken snake mound." Sui Hou traveled, saw the big snake was injured and interrupted, suspected of its supernatural, so that it was sealed with medicine, the snake can walk, because the place is called 'broken snake hill'. Over the years, the snake title pearl is reciprocated. The bead diameter is full of inches, pure black, and there is light at night, you can candle room, so it is called 'Sui Hou Zhu', also called 'Snake Spirit Pearl', and also called 'Bright Moon Pearl'. ”
This miraculous record is quite similar to the legend of "Sui Hou Zhu" in other documents.
For example, in "Huainanzi", there is "follow Hou out, see the big snake broken, apply it with medicine, and then the snake in the night to catch the big pearl to report, because it is said to follow Hou Zhu, cover the moon pearl also." ".
The record of Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan" is slightly different: "In the past, when he traveled with Hou, he was interrupted by a big snake, and his spirit was doubted, so that people could go with the snake of the medicine master." More than a year, the diameter of the snake pearl is inch, pure white and bright, because the number follows the pearl. ”
Knowing that Wang Na of the state "Words with the Pearl Hall" Zhongyun: Follow the Hou to save the snake, Chu and get the pearl, and his words Chu does not know what to do. In the old chronicles, there was a snake bead spit out outside the hall and said: 'My dragon prince is also, I am grateful for your life, and I have come to repay virtue. 'Follow Hou Dezhu into the king of Chu. He didn't know where to get the pearl into the king of Chu, and the snake was strange. ”
Wu Chen has also read through these documents, and even his own "Treasure Road" he has read through it, and it exists in his mind, while listening to Liu Lao's words, he retrieved his memories and found that the records of Sui Hou Zhu's origin in the past dynasties are surprisingly consistent!
"Wait, Master, there seems to be some inconsistency in the characteristics of the Sui Hou Zhu in this account."
Identification is a process of falsification, and Wu Chen quickly caught the flaw! In the description of the characteristics of the beads in "Treasure Road" and "Shuo Yuan", one is pure black and the other is pure white, which are two completely different visual effects, and it is impossible to confuse them.
"Black and white are not completely indistinguishable." Liu Lao said and pointed to the light source, "Look at it now, what color is it?" ”
Since the last time he let this bead faint, Wu Chen has been palpitating, he doesn't dare to look at this thing directly, and then look at it at this moment, the whole bead is shrouded in a faint white light, as bright as the full moon, hazy, white and flawless, and has nothing to do with the swarthy appearance under the sun, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe that these two are the same thing!
"This thing glows pure white, and when it doesn't shine, it is pure black, between black and white, yin and yang flow, and it is by no means as simple as a night pearl." Seeing Wu Chen stunned, Liu Lao sighed slightly, he is still young, he has not experienced many things, and it is unimaginable.
"Not the Pearl of the Night? What is that? Wu Chenwei looked at Liu Lao, and suddenly found that the old man's face was a little dignified, which was extremely rare.
The hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin dynasty all have their own ideas and missions, and the Guigu Association actually has its own historical mission, but Liu Lao doesn't want to tell Wu Chen now, things still have to come step by step. Now he only stays in the stage of discussing things, some secrets about this waiting pearl can not be revealed to this kid, only a little bit, what should really be paid attention to is about the origin of this pearl, although most of the records are supported by the "snake" or "dragon" to repay the favor, but there is such a half sentence in "Huainanzi", "the dragon comes from the sky" is the key, but it is a pity that it seems that Wu Chen, this kid has not noticed.
That's it! Because of fate, he couldn't force it, and when he realized that, forget it, Wu Chen didn't pay attention to this aspect, it was not a blessing for him!
Liu Lao's heart flashed in his heart, and the originally serious expression suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the old naughty boy's face that would only be revealed in front of Wu Chen: "Broadly speaking, this is also a night pearl, as long as it shines at night, isn't it a night pearl?" Ha Lu Ha. ”
This has also become too fast, Wu Chen was stunned by Liu Lao's change of face, but his old man didn't seem to be wrong. His eldest uncle and second uncle are both his uncles, incandescent energy-saving LEDs, and they are all light bulbs.
Sure enough, Liu Lao continued: "I have also seen the night pearl recorded in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty before, it is much smaller than this, and the luster is completely incomparable. What's more, the ingredients of the two are completely different. ”
There have been many sayings about the night pearl, which is nothing more than a mineral such as fluorescent stone or diamond, and a biological derivative such as pearl; But this "waiting pearl" is more unique, from the texture point of view, hard as stone, slightly heavy, with mineral characteristics, but the surface texture is delicate, the whole body is dark and purple, faintly there is a subtle "aura" flow, but it is the characteristics of some plants, and I don't know how the road is generated.
"In addition, there is another special point, if it is a mineral, there will always be radiation at some point, but this one I took the capital, measured it, and there is no radiation at all......"
No radiation? A stone fell in Wu Chen's heart, he saw it glowing before, and he was faintly worried, if there is radiation, give it to Huang Xiaolin, wouldn't it hurt her?
