No. 262 Sui Hou Zhu

Of course, Yu Fei didn't think that the famous Suihou Zhu in history was a feeder! Because he has made a more important discovery!
Before that, Yu Fei recognized the third theory the most, that is: Suihou Zhu is a gem-quality diamond. Because the crystals of diamond are mostly bead-like, colorless and transparent, and have a strong luster. What's more, the diamond is exposed to sunlight, and different colors of phosphorescence can be seen in the darkroom. This is also in line with the saying "glow-in-the-dark". After geological exploration: between the northern foot of Dahong Mountain and the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain in Suizhou, there are indeed gem-quality diamonds, and the statement that Suihou Zhu is a gem-quality diamond can be justified.
But most people agree with the last statement, that is, Suihou Zhu is actually a piece of fluorite! Yu Fei once discussed this topic with Ma Shangdu, as the Taishan Beidou in the collection world, Ma Shangdu thought that the so-called Suihou Zhu was actually a slightly larger night pearl, in the final analysis, it was a piece of exquisite fluorite! There are two reasons for this: first of all, there is indeed fluorite production in the northern part of Suizhou. Secondly, fluorite is indeed a luminescent mineral. Although Yu Fei felt that it was emotionally unreasonable to say that Sui Houzhu was an ordinary fluorite, he had to admit that Ma Shangdu's fluorite theory was indeed more convincing than the diamond theory. But now...... Yu Fei really wanted to see what kind of expression he would have when he put Suihou Zhu in front of Ma Shangdu's eyes.
"Although I'm not sure, I have a hunch that Sui Hou Zhu is among them." Yu Fei nodded and said excitedly.
"With Hou Zhu in it?" Qin Xiaojin was also confused by Yu Fei's words. According to Yu Fei's previous words. Then Suihou Zhu should be a material bead, so the 173 unearthed in the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi and the five material beads in front of him should be Suihou Zhu, but Yu Fei said that it was among them. Could it be that there is nothing in these material beads?
Yu Fei picked up the largest glass bead among them, this glass bead was about five centimeters in diameter, slightly larger than the legendary Suihou bead.
"Brother Yu Fei, what do you mean this one is Suihou Zhu?" Qin Xiaojin asked in disbelief.
"Hold your hand out." Yu Fei said suddenly.
"What for?" Although Qin Xiaojin felt very strange, he still stretched out his right hand as he said.
"Use some force, don't drop it." Yu Fei said and put the glass bead in Qin Xiaojin's hand. Suddenly, Qin Xiaojin felt a sinking in his hands!
"What is this?" Qin Xiaojin's face also changed. Because the weight of this glass bead is much heavier than that of ordinary ones.
For Qin Xiaojin's accident, Yu Fei was not surprised at all. He already knew the truth. On the way back, Yu Fei had already checked it inside and out with the chaotic qi, and on the surface it was an ordinary material bead. But inside him was a bead with a smaller diameter! The approximate size is indeed around three or four centimeters! And it's really glowing white! It's not a feeder, it's not fluorite, it's not a pearl, it's not even a gem-quality diamond! What the hell is this? Yu Fei had no way of knowing the Tao at all. But he can be sure that this is Suihou Zhu! Suihou Zhu, who has been lost for nearly two thousand years. It's hard to imagine how precious it is! If the stall owner knew that he had sold a few antiques from the Spring and Autumn Period, including Suihou Zhu, for 500 yuan. And if the value of these antiques is definitely not under the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", I am afraid that I will regret it and go crazy.
What surprised Yu Fei even more was that when the chaotic qi entered Suihou Zhu, it was as if he had suddenly seen an old friend who had been lost for a long time, showing excitement and joy! Even clinging to it, lingering and refusing to listen to its own call and take it back.
"You feel it, right?" Yu Fei smiled and said, "There is definitely something strange in this bead!" ”
Qin Xiaojin nodded and said approvingly: "When Brother Yu Fei said this, I also felt it. Just for the sake of what this glass bead would be heavier than the ordinary one? Could it be that there is something else in it? ”
After listening to Qin Xiaojin's speculation, Yu Fei couldn't help but admire Qin Xiaojin's quick thinking, he had a chaotic aura, of course, he was very aware of the actual situation. But Qin Xiaojin guessed the result that was almost the same as the actual situation just by weight, which was indeed not easy.
"Why don't we open it up and take a look?" Yu Fei said. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, although he didn't know what material the beads in the Lu Dao were made of, but by feeling, Yu Fei knew that his hardness was definitely not under the diamond. Since this is the case, Yu Fei wants to smash the outer glass ball, and then take out the Suihou bead inside.
Qin Xiaojin was frightened by Yu Fei's idea, such a precious glass ball, he actually said that he wanted to break it! Qin Xiaojin has carefully identified it just now, the age of these glass balls is very old, and they are not even under the material balls unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, leaving aside the artistic value, their archaeological value can be described as very huge. And Yu Fei's classmate actually said that he was going to break him? If the old-timers in the archaeological field knew about Yu Fei's thoughts, I am afraid that they would blow their beards and stare at each other, and scold Yu Fei for being a loser.
"Brother Yu Fei, we still don't know the value of these glass balls, it's not good to act rashly, right? And it's just my guess that there's something in it, and if it doesn't, isn't it worth the loss? Even if there is something hidden inside, we don't have the tools right now, so if we break the contents together, wouldn't it be a waste of work? Qin Xiaojin said with a rational analysis.
Yu Fei knew that Qin Xiaojin was very reasonable, so he could only suppress the commotion in his heart and put away these material beads. I have secretly made up my mind. When you go back, you must wipe off the outer glass little by little like a calcite stone, so that the beads inside can be revealed. Intuitively, he felt that the beads inside were definitely not as simple as a gem! But it's useless to say anything now, what Qin Xiaojin said is very reasonable, and it's really not suitable to unravel it now.
Then the question arises, how could Sui Hou Zhu be in the middle of such an ordinary feeder? And how did you get to Qinhuangdao?
Later, after consulting a large number of literature, Yu Fei made such a guess.
First of all, Suiguo was weak, and when the Sui State attacked by Chu State, Suihou hid it in the feeder in order to protect Suihou Zhu. According to records, at that time, Suiguo already had the firing technique of glaze, and it was not difficult to place Suihou beads in the glazed ware! It is estimated that this thing is done very secretly, and even the craftsman who did it was extinguished, so no one knows this secret!
But Suiguo was still defeated by Chu, and Suihou Zhu was returned to the king of Chu.
And when he went to Qinhuangdao with Hou Zhu, I am afraid it will still have something to do with Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang destroyed the state of Chu and obtained Suihou Zhu.
But Qin Shi Huang began to seek immortality, and in Qinhuangdao, he once sent people to the sea to seek immortals. Since it is going to sea, then Suihou Zhu comes in handy, because according to the story of the origin of Suihou Zhu, Suihou Zhu was given to Suihou by the son of the Dragon King in order to repay his kindness. Regardless of whether this story is true or not, the ancients must have believed it.
It is very likely that in order to improve the success rate of seeking immortals, Qin Shi Huang asked his subordinates to bring Hou Zhu with him. Although Suihou Zhu is precious, it looks ordinary after being hidden in the feeder. It is estimated that the reason why Qin Shi Huang still treats him as a treasure is entirely because of the world's vision. So it's entirely possible to take it out and find immortals. One is an ordinary treasure, the other is the hope of immortality, and it is almost obvious how Qin Shi Huang should choose.
Qin Shi Huang was still not at ease, so he brought a few more beads to increase the success rate.
But what he didn't expect was that the minister in charge of going to sea to find immortals did not return these beads to the Dragon King, but quietly hid them. In order to avoid punishment, he was also afraid that others would worry about him, so he didn't dare to publicize it all the time. Sui Hou Zhu was lost like this.
This can also be explained by the fact that after Liu Bang destroyed the Qin State, he only found Heshibi, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, but did not find Suihou Zhu.
Of course, all this is just Yu Fei's speculation, and it really seems that Yu Fei needs to find it slowly in the future!
However, this time I came to Qinhuangdao not to look for Suihou Zhu. Although they knew that the possibility of the Kyoto skull fossil in Qinhuangdao was very small, the two still planned to search for it as usual. Otherwise, I would be really embarrassed to see Lu Yaosi again.
In the next two days, Yu Fei and Qin Xiaojin went to the library to dig through a large number of materials, including about the skulls of Kyoto people, about the geography of Qinhuangdao, especially the history before and after the Anti-Japanese War. Because of the help of the chaotic qi, Yu Fei was able to consult the information very quickly! However, to Yu Fei's disappointment, they didn't find even a bit of valuable information.
In fact, Yu Fei didn't want to think about it, the search for the skull of the Kyoto people lasted for so long, and almost all the documents were flooded, how could there be new discoveries?
"Buried" in the pile of old papers made the two of them feel very tired. On the third day, Yu Fei proposed to take a break and relax his body and mind. If we continue to look for it like this, I am afraid that the fossil skull of the Kyoto people will not be found, and the two of them will become bones first.
Of course, Qin Xiaojin has no opinion on this. What they didn't expect was that it was this decision of theirs that made them slowly start to get closer to the fossilized skull! (To be continued......)
