Dean Sima scoffed at this: "Lao Du, don't think nonsense, let's not say that it is just a legend, there are still many flaws in it, just say that there are no gods in this world!" ”

Du Yile retorted: "Since there are no immortals, with the technology of the Qin Dynasty, how can it be possible to make such a magical sword?" ”

Dean Sima said: "What's this, at that time, it was not long before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended, and some technologies that seem incredible now have not completely disappeared, and it is normal to make such a sharp weapon." As for what we think is incredible now, it is because the current technology has not yet developed to that level, and after a few years of scientific and technological development, such a problem will be solved. ”

Du Yile smiled and shook his head: "Anyway, I think it's really incredible that the current technology can't reach the level of more than two thousand years ago." ”

Yu Renpeng also stood on the side of Dean Sima and said tiredly: "You can't say that, if the + no + wrong + novel + 3w++ technology was really so developed at that time, how could they not do some of our current equipment?" At the end of the day, it's just a few exceptions. ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "There is nothing to fight about in this matter, it was thousands of years ago, and we don't have the ability to go back to the past, who knows what happened at the beginning?" I also think it's the technology that aliens brought with them when they visited our planet. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, everyone also laughed, just like Chu Chen said, it is okay to study things in the past, but it is really a waste of energy to investigate some historical mysteries, of course. If you like research, don't talk about it.

"By the way, there's one more question. What to do with the water that is sucked up? Du Yile asked.

When Yu Renpeng and Dean Sima heard this question, they were a little puzzled at first.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I think it should flow from the hilt, but the hilt of this sword is wrapped in this layer of iron outside, and it needs to be checked with equipment and then taken out properly." ”

Everyone agreed, and Dean Sima hurriedly said, "Director Chu." The equipment over there is very advanced, do you want to take Chixiao to me for testing? ”

"Cut!" Du Yile sneered: "Your equipment is advanced, isn't my equipment advanced?" And I also have a few instruments here that are newly imported. You shouldn't have one over there, right? ”

"Uh......" Dean Sima was choked by this, and then he remembered that Chu Chen was a big boss with a background and money. Now the equipment of this real yàn room. They are all built according to the world's top standards, and the equipment on their side is completely a big knife in front of Guan Gong!

Seeing Dean Sima's deflated appearance, everyone smiled and felt a burst of happiness in their hearts. To say, Dean Sima is still quite good, but he has been trying to get things to the Forbidden City, which is really unbearable for everyone. Of course, he did it entirely for the sake of justice. Everyone can't talk about being disgusted.

Next, everyone chatted a few more words, and seeing that the magic weapon in front of them couldn't reach their hands, Dean Sima could only reluctantly turn the topic to the jade seal of the country.

After discussing the details, a formal agreement was drafted and signed, and the national treasure was to be transferred when the museum closed.

After signing his name on the agreement, Dean Sima showed a happy smile, and he said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Director Chu, I heard that you are going to travel to southern Yunnan?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I'm ready to leave the day after tomorrow, you don't want me to bring something, right?" ”

Dean Sima laughed: "Haha, the umbrella mushrooms over there taste very good, I really want you to help bring some back." ”

Chu Chen said: "You're talking about chicken mushrooms, right, no problem, I'll definitely bring you a few catties back then, is there anything else?" ”。

"How do you know I'm still on the move?" Dean Sima asked with a smile.

"Hehe, this is not clear, you won't just let me bring some chicken mushrooms, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Why not?"

Dean Sima said solemnly, seeing that Chu Chen was a little dumbfounded, he smiled teasedly and said, "Let's get down to business, I have a little clue about that Luanjiao." ”

"What? Is there really such a thing as luan glue? Hearing that this was the case, not only Chu Chen, but everyone else was also surprised.

Dean Sima waved his hand: "I just got some clues about this, a friend of mine said that he once talked about this legendary thing when he was chatting with one of his friends, according to the other party, his ancestors had obtained this kind of glue, but what was going on, my friend only thought he was bragging, and didn't ask much." ”

Chu Chen immediately asked, "That friend of yours is in southern Yunnan?" ”

Dean Sima replied, "Yes, he lives in Spring City. ”

"Okay, I'll visit him when I get to southern Yunnan." Anyway, since there are clues and they happen to be on the way, Chu Chen has to take a look.

"This is his address, you call him before you go, just say I introduced him, and he will know. However, don't worry, he has been traveling to England recently, and it is estimated that it will take a week to return, you can travel first, and then go to him when you return to Spring City. ”

As he spoke, Dean Sima handed a note to Chu Chen.

"Okay, I see, thank you ......"

…………

The next day, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the heat dissipated.

Since Chu Chen had promised the old man to help him identify things, after breakfast, he said goodbye to his family and went to the antique shop alone.

Before going, Chu Chen called the museum and asked about the number of visitors today. The fact is similar to what he thought yesterday, the number of tourists has decreased significantly, but even so, there are still more people queuing up at the scene, but it is not so crowded anymore, and there is no need to limit the flow of passengers.

If the passenger flow suddenly plummeted, Chu Chen would definitely be a little anxious, and now that the result was outcome, he would be more satisfied. ……

After parking the car, Chu Chen walked to the antique shop. When I arrived at the door, I happened to meet the old man who came the day before yesterday.

The old man's name was Du Zhonglin, and he said hello to Chu Chen. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Teacher Chu, I'm really sorry to let you come over so early." ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, when you called me, I was already on the road." Let's go, let's go inside. ”

"Okay......

Chu Chen greeted Zhou Wenping and the guests in the store, and walked towards the reception room with Du Zhonglin. At this time. A guest suddenly spoke up and asked Chu Chen to wait.

The guest smiled and said, "Teacher Chu, can you please give me an opinion?" ”

The guest who spoke was surnamed Qi. He is a frequent customer of Chu Chen's antique shop, and the things he has bought add up to more than ten or two hundred thousand, although the things in Chu Chen's store are not very cheap, but he just wants to be at ease. In his words. As long as it's genuine, it's sure to make money in a year or two.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know what advice you want me to give you?" ”

Mr. Yuan pointed to the two antiques next to him and said: "That's the case, I have a crush on these two things, but the sum of these two things has exceeded my budget, if you choose one of them." I can't make up my mind, so I'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

Chu Chen looked at the two things he was pointing at. One is a seated statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva carved in hibiscus stone, and the other is a Buddha shrine carved by red sandalwood.

Speaking of which, there are different opinions about the essence of hibiscus jade or hibiscus stone, some say it is crystal, and some say it is Lantian jade.

In the market, hibiscus has become a commodity symbol, representing a bunch of jade products in hibiscus (usually the pink series), including pink crystal, pink agate, pink Lantian jade, and even pink Dushan jade. It seems that as long as it is pink jade, it can be named Hibiscus.

These concepts are often blurred by some unscrupulous merchants, so buyers must be sure before buying, you know, different varieties, prices can vary greatly. For example, the jade planted by hibiscus is much more expensive than hibiscus stone.

As for how to distinguish, it must be based on the name on the standardized appraisal certificate.

The hibiscus stone here in Chuchen is pink quartz, which is a kind of dense quartz that is rose red or rose red and very enviable, also known as "rose quartz", "rose quartz", "hibiscus jade", "Xiangnan jade", a kind of quartz stone.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to see the best in pink quartz, and the price on the market is not very expensive. But the pink quartz used in this statue in front of me has strong luster, good transparency, starlight effect, large block, 31 cm high, which can be called the best in pink quartz, which can be said to be met but not sought.

The material is good, the carving is also very good, the statue of Guanyin looks kind, lifelike, no worse than the craftsmen of the palace office in the Qianlong period. Of course, from a specific point of view, the time when this Buddha statue was made was still a little late, and Chu Chen thought that it should be in the late Qing Dynasty.

And in addition, the Buddha shrine is the authentic Qianlong period of the palace office of the masterpiece, not only the whole body is made of high-grade red sandalwood, the texture is delicate and beautiful, the carving is more emphasis on layout and perspective, the carving is exquisitely clear, the three-dimensional sense is strong, the knife is sharp, should come from the hands of the skilled craftsmen of Rongzhou.

The whole Buddha shrine can be described as a strict law, magnificent and solemn, the corners of the gold paint add to the rich atmosphere, it is really the fine product of the Qianlong court office, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty described the heavy instrument of worshiping the Buddha and respecting the Buddha.

One is a fine product of the palace office, and the other is made of excellent materials, and it comes from the hands of skilled craftsmen, and the value is comparable, and they are all very rare utensils. For those who like it all, it is indeed easy to pick and choose one of them.

Chu Chen looked at these two things, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know which one you prefer?" ”

Mr. Yuan smiled: "I like these two very much, and I want to take them home." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Then why don't you just buy them all back?" ”

Mr. Yuan said: "Isn't it just bought a house, if you buy both, the funds will be a little tight, so I would like to ask you to help you choose." ”

"If you want me to say, both of these things are very good, and it's a bit difficult to choose one of them!" Chu Chen seemed a little embarrassed, choosing one of the two must point out the shortcomings of one of them, and which seller would do this kind of thing?

Seeing this, Mr. Yuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Chu, I also know that this matter is a bit presumptuous, don't worry, the remaining one, when I raise some money in the next month or two, I will definitely buy it." ”

Chu Chen considered that Mr. Yuan was an old customer. He nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's say so." If I were you, I would probably choose this shrine. ”

"Why?" Mr. Yuan asked.

Chu Chen explained: "You see, this Buddha shrine, the door of the shrine is open, and the front is embossed with the spring pattern of the crane and deer, which takes the crane as the fairy bird and the deer as the beast. This symbolizes the peace of the country, the people, the government and the people. The high relief carving on the back of the brocade depicts the gold 'swallow wings look up to the deep frost dew, and the Jun Ben Long worships the elegant collection of crown clothes', in order to seek prosperity and blessings for the descendants. ”

"This shrine represents such an auspicious meaning. You've bought a new house, isn't that just right? ”

Chu Chen's explanation not only avoided pointing out the shortcomings of the other Guanyin statue, but also made Mr. Yuan's face bloom. He said, "Then I will choose this shrine." In addition, thank you, Mr. Chu, for your good words! ”

Chu Chen smiled, said politely, and then took Du Zhonglin to the reception room and made a cup of tea for him......

Du Zhonglin said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, can I ask you how to distinguish the hibiscus stone?" ”

"No problem."

Chu Chen explained: "Generally speaking, since natural pink quartz is born from the earth, most crystals usually have defects such as contents, natural ice cracks, clouds and color band changes. Artificial pink quartz, on the other hand, is synthesized and condensed by a factory or a real room, and the crystal produced is almost flawless. This is one way to distinguish between man-made and natural pink quartz. ”

Du Zhonglin heard this. Hurriedly asked, "Are there no exceptions?" I see that the statue of Guanyin just now looks very transparent. ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "It's very rare for the pink crystal used in the statue just now to be transparent, and if you look closely, you can actually see flaws." I can say that it is unlikely that natural pink quartz will be blemishes-free. ”

When Du Zhonglin heard this, his lips couldn't help but tremble a little.

Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Du Zhonglin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can continue." ”

"Okay."

Chu Chen continued: "In addition, the pure natural powder crystal feels cool and weighty. Synthetic crystals are gentle to the touch and lightweight. And also...... Now the most artificial secondary synthetic crystal on the market, therefore, we should pay attention to whether it comes with a national appraisal certificate when buying to prevent fakes. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Du Zhonglin looked very sad, he took out a box from the cloth bag, pushed it in front of Chu Chen, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Chu, then the material used in this thing should be synthetic pink quartz, right?" ”

Judging from Du Zhonglin's watch just now, Chu Chen knew that he should have bought a synthetic pink quartz work, and when he opened the box, he saw that the pink quartz jewelry on the face was as transparent as glass, and it was definitely not made of natural pink quartz.

Chu Chen put the things back and said, "It's really not natural pink quartz. ”

"Hey!" Du Zhonglin often sighed, and after half a sound, he said dejectedly: "Teacher Chu, please help me take a look at this thing." ”

After speaking, he took out a large brocade box, and carefully took out a plum vase from Longquan Kiln from it.

Chu Chen fixed his eyes, his expression suddenly became solemn, he took the bottle in his hand, and after a cursory look, he felt that this should be a plum bottle fired in the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, which is very rare.

Why? This is because the porcelain burned in the Yuan Dynasty is mostly large-scale, and the delicate ware is quite rare, and this piece of Yuan Longquan kiln blue glaze iron spot exposed tire mold printing and gold eight immortals across the sea chart octagonal plum vase, no matter from the shape, glaze, ornamentation, or unique open tire process, are rare, can be called the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty Longquan kiln.

In particular, it is worth noting that the plum vase, as a highly practical and enjoyable combination of utensils, has been rare in the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention that the bottle body of this lot is molded with eight pieces of porcelain fetus, and the firing process is far more complicated than that of the blank made of zuò, coupled with the decoration of the mold printing and gold process, and rich in Taoist colors, making it more rare.

Looking at this plum bottle, the shoulder of the bottle body is molded with Ruyi cloud head gossip pattern, the shoulder corner is decorated with iron spots, the bottle belly is exposed to the eight groups of open light, the high relief mold is printed with eight immortal patterns in the open light, the immortals step on the fairy things floating on the sea, the characters are vivid, the decoration is clear, especially the residual gold decoration, which is extremely rare. The neck of the bottle is molded with eight groups of folded flowers. The green glaze glaze applied to the whole vessel is thick, and it is a rare masterpiece of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

But Chu Chen took a closer look at the Eight Immortals on the plum bottle, but he was disappointed in his heart, even if he didn't read the bottle carefully, he could already be sure that this was a fake.

Du Zhonglin stared at the expression on Chu Chen's face tightly, and when he saw the disappointment flashing in his eyes, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "Teacher Chu, is there a problem with this thing?" ”

Chu Chen sighed secretly, he didn't answer directly, and asked, "Old man, I don't know if you know who the Eight Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are?" ”

Du Zhonglin asked a little strangely, "Eight Immortals?" Isn't that Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Tie Guan Li, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, and Uncle Cao Guo? What's wrong with that? ”

"Wrong...... Chu Chen shook his head and explained: "The eight immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are actually not these eight ......"

Among them, Ma Zhiyuan's miscellaneous drama "Lu Dongbin Three Drunken Yueyang Tower" in the Yuan Dynasty "Water Fairy" at the end of the fourth fold, in the tone of Lu Dongbin, introduces the Eight Immortals in turn: "The first is Han Zhong Liquan, who is now holding a group of immortals; This one is an iron cane with a messy comb; This one is Lan Caihe, and the board is withdrawn from Yunyang wood; This one is Zhang Guolao, who rode an upside down donkey on Zhaozhou Bridge; This one is Xu Shenweng, carrying a gourd on his back; This one is Han Xiangzi, Han Yu's nephew; This one is Uncle Cao Guo, a dependant of the Song Dynasty; Then I am Lu Chunyang, a foolish drum of Jian Zi who loves to play. ”

The above eight immortals are all male, and there is no He Xiangu among the eight immortals, but there is an additional Xu Shenweng. (To be continued......)
