Chapter 489: The Fate of the Emperor and the Queen

ps:

It's August!! The traffic light begs for support again~~~~ The more you have the heart, the more you have it, give something if you have it......

Yu Fei didn't tell a lie, he really didn't have any research on bloodstone, and he couldn't even dabble in it. In fact, don't talk about bloodstone, because the time to enter the industry is relatively short, many categories of antiques and cultural toys Yu Fei doesn't know much about. However, because of his amazing performance, Ouyang Xia and Lin Xiaoxi would only think that he was being modest.

Yu Fei didn't want to explain more, so he picked up the stone and looked at it. The stone is not big, about 20 centimeters high, about 7 or 8 centimeters in length and width, and the shape is not very regular. At first glance, it looks ordinary, but there is nothing surprising about it.

Lin Xiaoxi spent more than a hundred yuan to buy such a stone, and it was as if he had picked up a leak, which was really strange.

"It's indeed a piece of chicken blood rough." Wang Qiucheng nodded and said. Although it is generally not suitable for others to speak when others appraise them, Wang Qiucheng and Yu Fei are also familiar with each other, and Yu Fei is still Wang Qiucheng's junior, so there are not so many taboos.

Wang Qiucheng has been in the industry for a long time and has dabbled in many aspects, including bloodstone.

Boredom, Yu Fei channeled a chaotic qi into this rough stone, and he was immediately stunned by everything in front of him!

Because he "saw" a piece of red, as thick as blood, gathered but not scattered, and the layers were very thick. What's even more peculiar is that Yu Fei seems to feel that these red colors are like blood still flowing, which looks very "alive".

Although he had never touched bloodstone, Yu Fei was still fascinated in an instant. The beauty of bloodstone and the attraction to fly are not in the least beneath the emerald!

"Teacher Wang, you can give me literacy, what the hell is going on with this bloodstone?" Yu Fei carefully put down the stone and asked. He had already made up his mind to get a few pieces of the best bloodstone to play with.

"The old man can't talk about it, let's ask Miss Lin Xiaoxi to talk about it, don't look at her age, but she is an expert in this area." Wang Qiucheng waved his hand and said. He wanted to create an opportunity for Yu Fei and Lin Xiaoxi to communicate.

"Teacher Wang, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it well." Lin Xiaoxin said shyly.

"Say whatever you know. Don't be afraid to say the wrong thing. Teacher Wang encouraged.

"Since Mr. Wang said so, then I will say it. But if it's wrong, a few teachers will correct it. Lin Xiaoxi said humbly: "Bloodstone has a beautiful legend. In ancient times, when a pair of beautiful phoenixes soared in the heavens, they heard the sound of grief from time to time. And when he looked down, he saw that there was a plague of locusts, and a plague was prevalent, and the crops did not grow, and the eyes were full of desolation, and the people were miserable. Seeing this scene, the kind and righteous phoenix decided to use its own strength to destroy the locust plague, disperse the plague, and help the living. Through hard work, good wishes have come true. The grateful people asked the phoenix to stay and bathe in the morning song and twilight song together. Moved by the sincerity of the people, the phoenix built a phoenix swamp dwelling on the top of a mountain - Kangshan Ridge. Soon, around the Phoenix Swamp, all the mountain rocks became white and transparent, like white jade, and Yuyan Mountain got its name. Hundreds of birds are singing on Yuyan Mountain, and the people at the foot of Yuyan Mountain live and work in peace and contentment......"

Not to mention, Lin Xiaoxi really has some talent for storytelling. A simple legend also seems very moving in her mouth.

But at this moment, a pair of strong birds and lions came up on the mountain, and when they saw that the phoenix nested on such a beautiful mountain, and created such a brilliant achievement, they were jealous of the favor of the people, and they decided to drive the phoenix away. Occupy the Phoenix Swamp. One day, just as the female phoenix entered the incubation period and the male phoenix went out to forage for food, he attacked the phoenix's nest and attacked the female phoenix. The female phoenix bravely fought with it, and the battle of the phoenix and lion made the wind and the sun and moon on Yuyan Mountain dark. When the male phoenix returned to the nest, the female phoenix was pecked off a leg by the bird lion, blood was sprinkled on Yuyan Mountain, and even the phoenix egg was cruelly trampled by the bird lion. In the end, the phoenix defeated the bird lion, tearfully buried the innocently trampled phoenix egg, and then flew away. When the phoenix left, the people were so sad that they prayed to the heavens, asking the gods to bless the righteous phoenix. The sincerity of the people and the blood of the phoenix moved heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor sent the crown prince to inspect the facts, and ordered the Bodhisattva to turn the phoenix blood and phoenix eggs into beautiful pill stones, and endowed the pieces of pill stones with the power to turn evil into good fortune, drive away evil and promote good, and punish evil and love. Since then, the phoenix blood and phoenix eggs on Yuyan Mountain have been buried for tens of millions of years, and have become today's rare and precious - bloodstone, which should be called phoenix bloodstone, which is found by later generations when mining and its color is similar to that of freshly slaughtered chicken blood dripping on jade, so it is used to be called bloodstone. ”

Listening to Lin Xiaoxi's words, Yu Fei was a little ridiculous, he was not a girl, he didn't believe in the legend of bloodstone at all, and he was not interested in it at all. But Lin Xiaoxi's narration was very devoted, and he couldn't interrupt, so he had to listen patiently.

Finally, Lin Xiaoxi finished telling the legend and began to talk about bloodstone.

"Bloodstone is made up of two parts: earth and blood. To evaluate bloodstone, the first thing is to look at the red color of the blood, which is better for its freshness, coagulation and thickness. The fresh ones are as red as dripping blood; The condenser gathers but does not disperse; Thick refers to those with thickness and layers that penetrate deep into the stone layer. In addition, the ground tension of bloodstone is also an important basis for judging bloodstone. The ground is what kind of stone is dyed red on. The bloodstone floor is pure, translucent, and the bright red color of the nails and blood is the best quality. Mr. Wang, I don't know if I'm right? ”

Lin Xiaoxi is a girl in the end, and she spends a lot of time telling the legend of bloodstone, but in the tasting of bloodstone, she passes by, which makes Yu Fei unsatisfied.

At this time, Ouyang Xia spoke, she was an expert in jade, and she also had some research on bloodstone.

"The texture of bloodstone is delicate, tough, and the structure is compact, and it will not collapse when it is knifed. There are three main reasons for the quality of bloodstone. The first is blood color: the color of bloodstone is the most expensive from bright red, followed by vermilion and dark red. The bright red one is also known as living blood; The dark red color is called dead blood because it resembles blood clotting; The second is the amount of blood; Generally speaking, the bright red blood content is greater than 30% for high-end products, more than 50% for high-quality products, more than 70% for treasures, and the blood content is not as much as possible. In the case of finished stamps; The six-faced blood is the top grade, and it is called full of red; Those with blood on four or five sides are genuine; The third and second sides contain blood, and those who see blood on one side are inferior. Finally, there is the blood shape; There are three types: star-shaped (dotted blood), band-shaped (striped blood), and lumpy (lumpy blood). There is no absolute superiority or disadvantage of these three blood forms, and the evaluation of blood forms should grasp the distribution characteristics of blood in the stone. ”

Ouyang Xia's explanation finally gave Yu Fei a preliminary idea of bloodstone.

However, Ouyang Xia seemed to be addicted, and continued: "Teacher Wang also said just now, this is a piece of bloodstone, but judging from the texture on the surface of the stone, it is not a piece of Changhua chicken blood. Instead, it should be the Bahraini chicken blood of Inner Mongolia. ”

"Aren't all bloodstones in Changhua?" Qi Zhi asked strangely. He followed Qi Yue in the antique market for a few days, and he was also familiar with Changhua bloodstone. At this time, I heard that there are other origins of bloodstone, and I can't help but feel a little strange.

"Hahahaha......" Wang Qiucheng laughed and said: "Bloodstone has been found in many places, not only Changhua and Bahrain, but Changhua bloodstone was discovered the earliest and mined the earliest, so it is also the most famous." But from the current point of view, the quality of Bahrain's bloodstone is higher than that of Changhua chicken blood. This is not to say that Bahrain chicken blood is the best, mainly because the material of Changhua chicken blood is almost exhausted. ”

Wang Qiucheng sighed and continued: "The mining of Changhua bloodstone began in the Song and Ming dynasties, and it has been mined for more than a thousand years now. Now Changhua Yuyan Mountain has basically been hollowed out. Many mines don't dig a single piece of bloodstone for a few years. Like gambling stones, mining bloodstone is risky and has to be lucky. Objectively speaking, it should be a good stone with good quality, and there is no more. Changhua Laokeng bloodstone has been exhausted many years ago, and now the bloodstone dug out of the new pit is far inferior to the old pit bloodstone in terms of bottom, color or hardness, and the best horn jelly and mutton fat frozen bloodstone are almost never mined in the new pit. ”

Lin Xiaoxi's face was gloomy, and he said, "Grandpa said the same thing. A few years later, perhaps no one knows about Changhua Bloodstone. ”

"Old Lin's body is still strong, right?" Wang Qiucheng greeted. He knew Lin Xiaoxi's grandfather, and he was half a generation taller than Wang Qiucheng.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your concern, grandpa's health is fine. It's just that he has always had a regret, that is, he didn't see a piece of the emperor's edge bloodstone. Lin Xiaoxi said.

"The fate of the emperor and queen? What kind of stone is that? Yu Fei asked strangely.
