Chapter 412: Weeping Thorns and Night

Ancient glaze is already rare in the world, such a large-scale production of boxes is unique, boxes and other utensils look plain, but the production process is also extremely elaborate and complex, especially the use of precious materials to make it is even more difficult, the huge amount of materials, as well as the loss of processing, are inevitable. As soon as there is the slightest error in the production process, a whole piece of good material will be discarded. Glass, jade, jade, agate, and rosewood are all such existences, and there are very few craftsmen who can make large treasure boxes throughout history without diamonds and porcelain work. The story of buying and returning the pearl is ridiculous, but there are also examples in history where the box containing the treasure is more precious than the treasure.

In addition to the high cost of those precious boxes in ancient times, there is also a point, that is, there is a machine inside, and the eight-treasure sound box that is good at producing music is said to be made by skilled craftsmen in combination with music and rhythm, and there are many sayings about its name in later generations, which have now been lost, and I don't know if it exists. There is also a kind of wooden box in ancient times, which was used to deliver letters, and is now known as letters, and it is said that the original letters were not as simple as a simple wooden box, but were packed with a strict mechanism, and only the person receiving the letter knew how to open it, and others had to break the box if they wanted to steal the letter. These boxes look inconspicuous, but they are more precious than the contents and contain the wisdom of the ancients.

"From the few rosewood boxes in your hands to the two ancient glass boxes in front of you now. Are you Kui clan too particular about utensils? Yun Ximing said with emotion.

"You reminded me." As I spoke, I pulled Dae-cheol, who was closest to the two boxes, back.

"Yin Yin, don't be so stingy, just see what it won't be." Dazhe said.

"I'm not trying to let you see it because I'm stingy, but I'm saving your life, do you remember the box of our Kui family in the ancient tomb of Shandong? Do you remember what the pawnshop's big pilgrimage turned into in the end? I asked.

Dazhe was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, "Of course I remember, that green-skinned monster. ”

"Yin Yin, do you mean that these two boxes are also..."Yun Ximing was also afraid when he mentioned the ancient tomb in Shandong.

I didn't answer, and looked around the glass box. The box is transparent. Ambilight is really a rare treasure, but I still see the clues behind this Ambilight. "I see." I say.

"Got what? There's that old curse on it too? Dazhe asked.

"It's even more troublesome, that curse can be undone with my blood, but there's something on this box. There's nothing I can do about it. I said.

"And a curse you can't unravel?" Dazhe asked.

"Not a curse. It's a trap. An intricate mechanism made of ghost bones. I said.

"If it's an agency, wouldn't it be simpler, our Lao Lu and Brother Gongzi are experts in this area." Dazhe said.

"It's not that simple. First of all, they can't see these ghost bones without yin-yang techniques, and secondly, these ghost bones seem to me to be lined up in a loop. I said.

"What kind of circuit is it? Bifurcated or closed? Uncle Lu asked nervously.

"From my point of view, it should be a bit of a fork, but... It's too complicated, and I don't know what the purpose of these forks is, but it's all very thin ghost bones, and it seems to be intricate. I said.

"I said Yin Yin, if we don't take a look at what is inside, this box is so bright, there must be some great treasure in it, even a box is so valuable, the things inside must be even more valuable, right?" Dazhe's greed for money can't be changed, but what he said is right, even if you don't open the box, you can know what is inside, because it's too obvious.

It was a night pearl, but it was different from the ordinary night pearl, its whole sphere was crystal clear, showing a blue glow like ocean waves, the size of a volleyball, and at first glance it looked like a crystal ball that would glow.

"Blue light, that's just too beautiful." Dazhe didn't wait for me to say that he had already started studying the night pearl inside. "I haven't seen the real Night Pearl, do all the Night Pearls emit this beautiful blue light?"

"Of course not, although it is the first time you have seen the Night Pearl, but you should really go home and worship the ancestral tomb, some people may not be able to see such a Night Pearl in their lifetime. This is a pearl of the night. Yun Ximing said.

"Okay, mobile Baidu Encyclopedia, you know again? What is this weeping thorn? Can I eat it? Dazhe asked.

"Weeping thorns are not for eating, but for a place name. But it is no longer in use, and I don't know exactly where this weeping thorn is, or if there is such a place. It is said that this place is rich in night pearls, which is different from other places. The night pearls in other places are all green, yellow, and red, and the reason why they can glow is similar, basically they all contain chemical components such as fluorescent agents. Such a night pearl needs to see the light for a period of time, absorb light, and can only shine at night, but the night pearl produced here will emit dazzling light even if it is wrapped in opaque black cloth for a long time. And the color of the light is blue, which is very rare. Yun Ximing explained.

"So this thing is very rare, you have seen such a rare thing." Dazhe looked envious.

"I haven't seen it either, this is the first time I've seen it, and this weeping night pearl is not an ordinary rarity, there is only one piece recorded in history, and there is only this one, which is placed in front of you." Yun Ximing said.

"Young Master of the Yun family, does this thing still have a history?" Uncle Lu asked.

"That's right, there's another name for this thing."

"I've only heard of He's Bi, it's said to be rare, is that it?" Dazhe said.

"Of course, He's Bi is famous, and after returning to Zhao, all Chinese probably know it. However, strictly speaking, it is the first piece of jade recorded in history in China earlier than He's Bi, but it was later confirmed that it was not a piece of jade, but a pearl of the night, so it was relatively rare, but you must have heard his allusions, which is the story of the death of the lips and the cold teeth. Yun Ximing said.

"I know this, and the teacher said it in class." Dazhe hurriedly showed off his knowledge.

"When I was in school, most of the teachers talked about the meaning of the word, but there were actually allusions behind it. A very famous story in history, Jin Xun Xi please use the multiplication of production and the thorns of the thorns, and the false way is in Yu to cut down. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State and the Yu State were adjacent to each other, and the Yu State was adjacent to the Yu State, and the Jin State wanted to annex these two countries, but the two countries had a close relationship, and things were not easy to do. At this time, his subordinate advisor Xun Xi suggested that he should give Yu the multiplication of yields and the bib of weeping thorns to Yu Guo, and falsely use Yu to cut down Yu. At the beginning, Jin Xiangong was reluctant to give up his treasures, and Xun Xi said, after you conquer these two countries, won't it be the same as your courtyard. Jin Xiangong was very happy and did so. Xun Xi gave something to Yu Guo, and the advisors of Yu Guo did not agree with the king to receive gifts, saying that the Kingdom of Yu and our lips and teeth depend on each other, if we agree to let the Jin State borrow the way, I am afraid that the next persecution will be ourselves, and the so-called death of the lips is cold. But the king of Yu did not listen, accepted the heavy gift, and opened the way. Soon after, the Jin State defeated the Yu State, and when he returned, he cleaned up the Yu State. The multiplication of the wedge here refers to the horses produced in the place called the bent, and the weeping thorn refers to the night pearl that is abundant in the place of weeping thorns. I suspect that this may be the same one at that time, because later I guessed that although the night pearl produced there was strange, most of them were not easy to preserve for some reason, but this one was the only one, which was large and shiny. It is speculated that this may be some kind of meteorite that fell from the sky, and after landing, it became shattered, and the biggest moment should be his core. Yun Ximing said.

"Oh my God, this thing is still a visitor from outside the world, so there won't be any radiation, right? Or with some mysterious power or something? Dazhe began to open his mind again, "Seeing such a treasure, let alone borrowing a way, even if I want to cut a piece of meat, I am willing to do it." ”

"Dead fat, it's your greed." Min Lan said later, Dazhe quickly shut up, and he didn't know when his greedy character would grow up.

"Yin Yin, but how to say it, your Kui family's background is really not to be underestimated, not to mention anything else, this piece of thorn alone can already be regarded as valuable. Not to mention other treasures of your Kui clan, just this night pearl, plus your boxes made of agarwood, can already be regarded as a rich country. Yun Ximing said with emotion.

"All the property of our Li Group, I'm afraid it can't be worth this bead." Yun Xian said helplessly.

"Yin Yin, I'm going to hug your thighs, my God, how can I have such rich friends, let's be friends in the next life." Dazhe said as he really planned to pounce and hug my thighs.

"Okay, don't make trouble, no matter how good this thing is, it's not for buying and selling, and such a thing is no longer measurable in value." I say.

"I agree with this, it's better not to put such a thing on the market, everyone in the world is profitable, and when you see such a treasure, you may want to earn more." Uncle Lu said.

"This one here is already so valuable, could it be that there is an identical one next to it? If that's the case, wouldn't it be developed? Dazhe said.

When Dazhe said this, I also looked at the ancient glass box next to me, and I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I didn't know what was in the box over there. (To be continued.) )
