Chapter 411 Ancient Glass

Early the next morning, I gathered everyone at the door of the ancestral tomb, which is also under construction and renovation these days, and Li Yunxian has decorated a lot of fluorescent light balls inside, and now there is a bright light from a distance. Except for Yun Xian, everyone has been busy with their own things recently, and they don't even have time to go in and take a look.

"I said yin yin, others are just that, you should have gone in early to have a look, my God, where did you Kui family know, there is such a big cave in the mountain here, it's incredible." Yun Xian said.

"Caves in the mountains are not unusual, what is there to make a fuss about." I say.

"Modest, humble, you'll find out when you go in later." Yun Xian said, everyone followed Yun Xian into the ancestral tomb behind the ancestral hall, I walked in the back, only to hear everyone enter the ancestral tomb after the sound of admiration, especially Da Zhe, he has always liked the big prize monster, and now shouting louder than anyone else.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful and it's too big." Dazhe shouted.

"Be quiet, this is the ancestral tomb, and all the ancestors lying in it are Yin and Yin, don't be so rude." Min Lan hurriedly reminded him, and I also walked into the ancestral tomb while speaking, this place is very different from the first time I came.

The time I came in before, my uncle and I only held flashlights, and the surroundings could be said to be pitch black, and we couldn't see the surroundings at all, and even the crystal tombstones of those ancestors could only be seen clearly when we got closer. Now, however, the entire tomb is unusually bright because of the fluorescent bulbs. The space where the entire ancestral tomb is located is very huge, the ceiling is almost four stories high, the fluorescent light ball is divided into three layers, placed at different heights, the entire ancestral tomb is reflected in the very bright hall, and the situation above the ceiling is clear. The sky was sparkling and looked brilliant.

"It's ...... Crystal ore? Yun Ximing said.

"I'm afraid it's ......," Dazhe said tremblingly.

"Not for fear." Li Yunxian said, "It's a crystal mine, I've already looked for someone to see it, and this is a natural crystal mine." There are no traces of excavation on it at all. This is a natural, unpolished crystal. I've had geologists and as long as there are no serious earthquakes, such crystals can be preserved for many years. ”

"Oh my God, yin. Aren't you Kui clan a little too rich? This crystal tombstone is already a very luxury. The ancestral grave was also placed in the crystal mine. Dazhe sighed with emotion, I was naturally very surprised in my heart, but the things I was thinking about now were not here.

"Let's not waste time here. Let's go inside. I said.

A group of us walked to the depths of the ancestral tomb, and the illuminated ancestral tomb was extraordinarily magnificent, like a cultural relic. We walked to the end of the ancestral grave, where I saw Jiang Yurou's crystal coffin, in which she was lying in a erratic shape. I asked Yun Xian and Uncle Lu to move the crystal coffin to the side, and what appeared in front of me was the end of the ancestral tomb, and now I finally see clearly, what it is.

A whole piece of crystal, like a giant mirror, stood in front of me.

"Yin Yin, you say this is a secret room? But what about this door? Dazhe asked.

"Right here, this is the treasure house of our Kui clan." As I spoke, I walked over to the crystal wall, and I took out my Sogo dagger, cut a cut in my palm, and pressed my hand against the crystal wall. The tentacles of the crystal wall are cold, I don't know if it was my cold blood that soaked into the cold crystal wall, or if the cold crystal wall penetrated me through the blood. Everyone's quiet look at me, I quietly looked at the crystal wall, my blood began to spread on the crystal wall, the flat crystal wall began to emerge patterns, it was the kind of complex pattern, as if there was a pair of invisible hands painting on the crystal wall, the complex pattern became more and more dense, with the continuous spread of the pattern, the crystal wall began to disappear and dissolve, as if it had never existed, the huge crystal wall, disappeared. I saw Jiang Yurou stand up, she probably never thought that this crystal wall in front of her was so fragile. The real gate finally revealed its true face of Lushan.

I've seen a lot of treasure troves on TV, what do they look like? There is a heavy gate, carved with intricate classical patterns, solemn and solemn. The gate was like a miracle, huge, and the gate in front of us was as described by all the gates of the treasury.

"This ...... It's a real treasure trove. Dazhe had already begun to sigh.

"The real meaning of the treasure house is actually a treasure, okay, let's go, let's go in." I said as I walked to the front door, there was no lock on the door, I stretched out my hands, pushed hard, and opened the door in front of me. The door slowly opened, and I thought it should be pitch black inside, but who knew that it was very bright inside.

"It's ...... Night Pearl ......," Yun Ximing said.

"The savings of the Kui family in the past dynasties, if you don't even have this kind of family background, then you can be regarded as some kind of immortal descendant." I said and led everyone inside.

The space in the secret room is also unusually large, and it is densely packed with a lot of shelves, and there are many rare treasures on the shelves, although I haven't seen them yet, but I guess they must be rare treasures. However, not all the treasures are placed on these shelves, and there are two boxes in the open space in the middle of the treasure house, these two boxes are not ordinary at first glance, they are brilliant, and they look like artifacts from the fairy world that have fallen to the mortal world.

"It's something that's so pretty." Dazhe sighed.

"This is a glass treasure box." Yun Ximing said.

"Is this thing worth anything?" Dazhe asked in a low voice.

"Worth the money? It's simply priceless value. Yun Ximing said, "Colored glass, also known as ruli, is made of artificial crystal of various colors as raw materials, and is fired at a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees. Its color is brilliant and colorful, and its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

Ancient Chinese Fabrication of GlazeThe original material for making glaze was obtained from the by-products produced during the casting of bronzes, which were refined and processed and then made into glaze. There are many colors of glaze, and the ancients also called it "five-color stone". In ancient times, because it was difficult for the people to obtain, people at that time regarded colored glass as even more precious than jade. ”

"Oh my God, this thing is so rare?" Dazhe cautiously reached out and touched it gently.

"Now the glaze has been very common, the domestic glaze production is more famous glaze workshop, people's glaze, glaze, etc. It is fired at a high temperature of more than 1400 degrees, after more than 10 manual processes of fine grinding, the whole process is purely handmade, and the crystal glazed mother stone is melted on the furnace at a high temperature of more than 1000 °C, and naturally condensed into a noble and gorgeous, self-defeating glaze. Such a process is more precious than raw materials. Glass is more used in the production of jewelry, in the Yuan Dynasty, Boshan glaze production has formed a certain scale. Its early products were mainly beads and flutes, as well as hairpins and buttons. The color is mainly blue, and there are crystal, black, white, and citrine colors. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the inner palace supervisor set up an "outer factory" here to produce tributes such as "green curtains" for the court, the production of private glaze is also developing day by day. During the Jingtai period, there were 4 large furnaces in Xiye Street, Boshan, which produced water sound goods and enamel materials. Before and after Jiajing, the production of bead lamps, bead screens, chess pieces, tent hooks, pillow tops and other products was increased. By the Wanli period, Boshan glaze production has become a larger industry. After that, Sun Yanshou and others initiated the formation of the first industry organization of Boshan glaze industry - the Furnace Jiao Association. During this period, in addition to local sales, the products were also exported to Beijing, Jiangnan and southwest ethnic minority areas. Boshan has become the center of domestic production of glazed products. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Boshan glazed products have developed to dozens of kinds, and their sales channels are north to Beijing, south to Liangguang, east to North Korea, and west to Hetao area. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, snuff bottles and cigarette pouch spouts gradually became the bulk products in the production of glaze, and the glazed products filled with emerald imitation jade also began to flourish, and the types of glazed pigments increased greatly. In the Daoguang period, the Boshan glaze industry entered a prosperous period. During the Xianfeng period, there began to be a material village specializing in the sale of glaze, so that the sales of Boshan glaze from the market trade, long-distance trafficking, and gradually turned to Boshan as the center of the country's fixed-point sales. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, almost every household in Boshan Xiye Street and its western area took glaze as its business, and became a veritable hometown of glaze. Yun Ximing gushed endlessly, we almost forgot, we also have a mobile Baidu Encyclopedia.

"So this is the glass from Boshan?" Dazhe asked.

"No, this glass is older and more valuable." Yun Ximing said and walked in to take a look, and said while watching, "Li Kang in the Tang Dynasty has such a record in "Du Yizhi": In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were Chang'an peddlers and two dogs, who tried to sell silk back and forth in Zijun, and made a small profit. One day, the orphan house was stolen and all the property was lost. The second dog sighed: God doesn't help me. Then he wanted to commit suicide. In the dark, I saw an old man, dressed in brocade and jade belt, wearing a crown, wearing a red robe, white face and long beard, gentle and elegant, left hand Ruyi, right hand ingot, Gaozu gave the wealth of the star monarch Li Xianggong is also. Xingjun said: If you are rich and rich, how can you commit suicide! Don't hear that Zizhou is out of glass? and one ingot, but go. The second dog sold glass and grew up to be the richest man. I was also grateful for the gift of Xingjun and changed his name to ingots. Yun Ximing said.

"Can you speak human language, what do you mean?" Dazhe asked.

"These two glazed boxes, Ambilight, like the heavenly fairy treasures, such a craft has long been lost, this should be the Wang Yuanbao people made of the glazed vessels, the reason why the production of this glaze is very small, because the glazed stone is used to add the glazed mother to the firing process, the raw materials are very difficult to obtain, plus the process is more strict than the ordinary process, a slight difference will destroy the entire finished product, such glaze in the industry is also called the ancient glaze."
