Tang Wuxin nodded, found a small hardwood box again, opened it, and lined it with two layers of velvet, "Both of these things are glowing, let's put them here." ”

Tang Yi took the box and put the dragon fetus and Sui Hou Yuezhu into it. In fact, the dragon fetus dzi and the Sui Hou moon dzi do not shine significantly in the daylight, and only at night will they fully show their brightness.

Looking at the Sui Hou Zhu that seemed to have darkened, Tang Yi seemed to suddenly remember something, "No, how could the pearls of the Han Dynasty be preserved for so long?" ”

There is a word called Lao Zhu Huang. Pearls, no more than other materials, the main ingredient is calcium carbonate, extremely difficult to maintain, even if the expert carefully protects, can have two or three hundred years even if it is the top of the sky, and it is inevitable that it will turn yellow because of oxidation.

Generally, the "juvenile" period of pearls is several decades, and after a long time, in addition to yellowing, there may also be mottled and peeled, or even chalked.

So the oldest pearl on the market is the pearl of the Qing Dynasty. For example, Dongzhu Chaozhu, which is hot in the auction market.

However, this string taken out of Chongzhen's secret collection, Tang Yi relied on his ability to conclude that it was from the Han Dynasty. And from the perspective of the law of the five ancient sealed lights, two antiquities of the Han Dynasty and two antiquities of the Tang Dynasty should also be the same.

It's been 2,000 years, and it's still white!

From going down to coming up, the whole process was quite tense, Tang Yi didn't think much about it, and now he was holding Sui Hou Zhu, and suddenly remembered.

When Tang Wuxin heard this, he hurriedly took out the string of pearls from the dark compartment again.

That's true.

Not only is it white and shiny, but the surface seems to be very moist.

"The surface also appears to have been greased." Tang Wuxin said after taking a closer look.

"No, even if it's oiled, no matter how special it is, it's dry." Tang Yi shook his head and unconsciously pulled the string of beads. It doesn't matter if you pull it, the rope inside is exposed, and I didn't look closely at it at the time, but the rope is actually a green thing similar to a fishing line! There is also a certain amount of resilience.

Tang Wuxin stared at the green gelatinous rope, and suddenly said, "Could it be that this is a needle and water tendon?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Yi and Wen Jia were stunned.

"The needle-saving water tendons are the same as the scattered tail fire armor, they are both extinct plants, the scattered tail fire armor is fire-based, and this needle-saving water tendon is water-based. It is said that this plant is as thin as bamboo, and the leaves are like needles, and the key is that after cutting, the trunk can be pulled out of a thin strip like a tendon, and the water is shiny, so it is called a needle water tendon. Tang Wuxin introduced:

"Don't say it, it seems that the needles and water tendons are really extinct in the Han Dynasty. This thing, according to legend, is mainly used to extract the water tendons inside, what is it used for? You may not realize it, but this thing is used to preserve dragon seeds. ”

"Save the dragon seed?" Tang Yi blurted out, and then understood a little, "You mean to make a small woven bag with water tendons?" ”

Hearing the "woven bag", Wen Jia couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "What is there to preserve, isn't it okay to use it now?" ”

"This is just what I saw from the ancient books of your ancestor, not the emperor's preservation, but the preservation of the women of the harem, especially the emperor's favor. Mothers are more expensive than children, sometimes the emperor comes, but the days are not right and you can't conceive. So, you can't waste anything, and it's said that you can keep your vitality alive for seven days, and then you can deliver a little bit yourself, cough cough. Tang Wuxin seemed a little embarrassed to explain this, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"No wonder I haven't seen any records, it's too funny. However, the ancients were not technologically developed, and there were really a lot of messy methods in this regard. Tang Yi smiled.

"It is said that it is difficult to survive by accumulating needles, they all grow in the mountains, and it takes decades to grow to form the water tendons inside, and the water tendons can absorb moisture in the air and remain unchanged for thousands of years. This thing is very scarce, and someone buys it at a high price, so it is normal for it to become extinct. Tang Wuxin sighed, "I didn't expect to see it today." ”

"I understand, this string of pearls must be used by some Zhaoyi, Jieyu or something in the harem. She had water in her hand, and she cherished this string of pearls very much. Unexpectedly, the water tendon strip can actually lock the water elastic bullet, and also let the maintenance oil and other things applied on the outside also play a greater role, resulting in two thousand years of not being oxidized, smooth and perfect as before! Tang Yi gave full play to his imagination.

After all, he studied history, and there were no titles of concubines and concubines in the harem of the Han Dynasty, and Tang Yi said that the title was still very right. And the idea works logically.

"I guess this thing was also amazing in the Ming Dynasty! Emperor Chongzhen sealed the lamp for these five ancient times, and he was also very inferior! Wen Jia sighed.

"Alright, put it away, old man. Today is an eye-opener again, it's really better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, what kind of scattered tail fire armor, save needles and water tendons, I really don't know how many things modern people haven't seen! Tang Yi also sighed.

Tang Wuxin put the string of pearls back into the dark grid, "No matter how knowledgeable people are, in front of antiquities, they are all ignorant children!" ”

"I have to add one more thing, no matter how rich people are, in front of antiques, they are all poor!" Wen Jia reacted quickly.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh together.

"Hey, by the way, Uncle Shi, listen to what you just meant, you also want to follow to meet the so-called old-timer?" Smiling and smiling, Wen Jia came back to this stubble.

"If I can know Chongzhen's secret treasure, and it's an old-timer, of course I have to go to the meeting!" Tang Wuxin's face was steady, but his eyes were very sharp.

Tang Yi and Wen Jia looked at each other, and soon understood what Tang Wuxin meant, Wen Jia said: "Uncle Shi, there may not be any danger. However, since you are not at ease, why do you want Tang Yi to bring the dragon fetus and Sui Hou Zhu? ”

"Whether it's dangerous or not, I'm an old man, I've lived for so many more years, isn't it just a life, I will never allow what I have in my hands to be taken away like this!"

Tang Wuxin smiled slightly: "As for bringing these two things, it is in case of emergency." If he has a Yellow Palace Body, maybe we can still seize this opportunity? If you want to take it, you must give it first, although you don't really give it. ”

Tang Yi sighed secretly, saying that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he became, but Tang Wuxin was bold and careful. Tang Wu must have thought that even if that old-timer was well prepared, he might not be able to take these things. At the same time, in case he really has the Yellow Palace Body, Tang Wuxing sees the opportunity to act, using the dragon fetus and Sui Hou Zhu as bait, and wants to take away his things!

"I took a look, this Director Zeng is a very upright person, I'm afraid he won't do things like cunning." Wen Jia said again.

"Director Zeng is very upright, is that old-timer also upright? We don't know where he came from. However, I asked Tang Yi to bring these two things, which may not be used, depending on the situation when the time comes, if he doesn't take them out, he won't know if we have these two things! Tang Wuxin said.
