Chu Chen continued: "In the Taiping Guangji, a small number of items among these rare treasures prepared by Li Kai were recorded. This box may have something to do with two of them. One piece is called Ruyi jade, which is said to be as small as a peach pit, but there are seven holes on it, and the light is refracted at the same time, and it is infinitely bright. ”

"There is also a candle called incense, which is said to be made from a strange clam oil, which is only a foot long, but can be lit for a long time. And when it is lit, the fragrance is a hundred steps, and the candle smoke rises slowly, forming the shape of a pavilion. ”

When Zhao Qirui heard this, he understood: "Are you saying that this thing is made from Ruyi jade and incense candles?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "After all, Ruyi Jade and incense candles are both legendary things, Ruyi Jade I think it is still possible according to the principle of reflection, but the candle smoke of incense candles alone can form the shape of pavilions, I think it is a little unrealistic." So I think this box should be something that later generations made based on this record. ”

Zhao Qirui thought for a while, and felt that it might be like this, and sighed: "Xiao Chu, what you said is quite reasonable, but I still think it's a little incredible, what kind of whimsical idea did the person who made it make this thing into such an effect?" ”

Chu Chen couldn't imagine this, so he could only say: "I think that person should have been the same at the beginning, after repeated shiyan, or a lifetime of poverty before making such a thing." ”

Zhao Qirui nodded, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and shook it over the box, and the picture was swept away without accident, seeing this, he smiled:

"Haha, when I first saw this thing, I thought it was a fairy treasure, but after listening to your explanation, I realized that this thing should still be the masterpiece of a certain ancient master. But thinking about the wisdom of the ancients is really not simple, the master who made this thing is really ingenious, and the skill is unimaginable. ”

Watching that picture regenerated, Chu Chen sighed in his heart at the wisdom of the ancients, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the loss of such a jishu.

Think about the five thousand years of China, skilled craftsmen have multiplied, and created a lot of advanced jishu. But looking through the entire history of China, most of the time, China is in the era of war, but there are very few years of real peace, and many jishu are lost in the war, or after the change of dynasty.

In particular, on several occasions, foreign tribes entered the Central Plains and brutally defeated civilization, not only seriously destroying the Chinese civilization, but also destroying many advanced jishu. Not to mention that some of these jishu are still father-son or master-apprentice inheritance models, and such inheritances are often the most fragile, once the inheritor has an accident, the result is obvious.

For thousands of years in China, there are too many jishu that have been lost for various reasons, not to mention, the terracotta warriors and horses have unearthed a bronze sword that has been cold and shiny and extremely sharp after two thousand years, and the sword body is also extremely tough.

There was a sword that was bent by a stone when it was unearthed, but as soon as the stone was removed, the sword immediately returned to its original straightness, and this exquisite sword-forging technique is really jaw-dropping, but I don't know how it was made.

After identification, those swords used chromium salt oxidation method to prevent oxidation, ensuring stainless steel for 2,000 years. When the bronze sword was discovered, the most advanced chromium salt oxidation method in Citigroup at that time could only guarantee 60 years of stainless steel, which shows how advanced the sword casting jishu in ancient China was.

But it's a pity that now this kind of jishu has been lost, and I don't know when and what month this advanced jishu will be discovered by us again.

Chu Chen thought for a while, and Zhao Qirui said with some hesitation: "Xiao Chu, I don't know ...... this treasure."

Chu Chen immediately knew what he wanted to say, he didn't even think about it, he just shook his head and refused: "Brother Zhao, I don't want to lie to you, you also know that it is impossible for me to transfer something like this." ”

Zhao Qirui thought that this would be the result before he opened his mouth, and he was not angry, in other words, he would definitely decide like this, he sighed and said:

"Xiao Chu, I also understand your thoughts, in fact, I don't feel much interest in this box, after all, this thing is also dead, and it's the same thing if I see more, what I care about most is the candle inside. To tell you the truth, my old man, I had a brain injury back then, and as long as I was upset, I would have a headache, so I ......"

This request made Chu Chen a little difficult to handle, and he didn't know now whether there would be a vision if he would change it to other candles. Because it is also possible that the candle smoke of this candle is different, and after the convergence of the box, this effect is produced, if that is the case, then the candle must not be given to Zhao Qirui.

So he pondered for a long time, and then said:

"Brother Zhao, I don't know if other candles will work now, otherwise, if other candles can, I will transfer this candle to you. If it has anything to do with this candle, let's take a little bit off the candle first, try to analyze it, and if it doesn't work, then think it's okay? ”

After Zhao Qirui heard this, he also felt that Chu Chen's opinion was good, so he said happily: "Xiao Chu, it's really you, I won't say much, I must keep your friendship in mind, it's not too early, let's go back first, Xiao Chu, you should rest early." ”……

After sending Zhao Qirui away, Chu Chen felt a sticky feeling on his body, full of sweat stains.

As I said before, Chu Chen didn't wear an air conditioner here, and he couldn't blow the fan just now, but now it's a hot summer, even if the fan in the house is not turned on at night, the sweat is also a whooshing flow. I didn't feel it because I wasn't here just now, but now I feel uncomfortable.

"Hey, I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, this kind of life is really difficult, and it's really difficult to be frugal from luxury! It seems that the matter of the house is going to be solved quickly. ”

But this matter is not in a hurry, and he has to wait for the news from Liu Lao's side first, Chu Chen shook his head, and hurriedly took a bath.

After taking a bath, Chu Chen looked at the time, and it was almost a little bit.

"That's right!"

Chu Chen suddenly thought that the ability should have been updated, so he hurriedly picked up the box and used the ability, but the result of the ability made him a little surprised.

There were two strands of psionic energy absorbed this time, which was not enough to surprise him, after all, there were indeed two things.

Judging from the results of the ability, the time for the production of the two things should be more than 900 years, that is, in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, the value was very different, and this was why he was surprised, because one of the things that the ability couldn't judge its value, but the progress was calculated in tens of millions.

Chu Chen thought about it for a while, and knew what the reason was, it was very likely that the ability felt that this thing was a unique and precious treasure, so it would have such a result. Needless to say, this thing must be this box, and although the candle is also possible, he thinks it should be much less likely.

With this conjecture in mind, he immediately began to re-examine the box, but apparently it was still so plain on the outside, so he picked up a magnifying glass and began to observe the forty-nine small holes in the lid.

Unexpectedly, at a glance, Chu Chen really discovered a secret, he didn't expect that the material used to make this box actually seemed to be sand grains inside, and the density was not high, and those sand-like crystals could also reflect or refract light, which made him know the principle of this thing in an instant.

Chu Chen guessed that during the Northern Song Dynasty, a master accidentally obtained a material, and he also found that this material would have the effect of reflection and refraction, so he devoted himself to research and spent a lot of time to finally complete this rare treasure.

Originally, Chu Chen wanted to take out the candles and take a look, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to keep it as it was for now, and wait until he asked Liu Lao tomorrow. ……

Early the next morning, Chu Chen got up early, and he found that today's spirit seemed to be better than usual, which made him wonder if it was because he smelled the strange fragrance yesterday, and if so, it was really a good thing.

But think about the valuation of yesterday's ability, just a little candle that is only three centimeters high and four centimeters in diameter is actually worth 500,000 yuan, which is completely burning money.

After breakfast, Chu Chen picked up the box and hurried to Liu's hometown.

Today's wind and rain, Liu Lao was still enjoying the surrounding scenery at the pavilion by the lake, and after Chu Chen sat down, he said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, didn't you get any strange treasures, come to my old man to offer treasures." ”

Chu Chen scratched his head and smirked: "Old Liu, you are really clever, you guessed it at once, but you can't talk about offering treasures, you just encountered a problem, and came to ask you for advice." With that, he handed over the box.

Liu Lao took it and looked at it carefully, but after looking at it for a while, he frowned, and after a while, he shook his head with some disappointment and said:

"Xiao Chu, I really can't see what the material of this thing is, I haven't seen any old thing made of this material in my memory, and this thing can't be judged from the pulp or other characteristics. I said Xiao Chu, this thing can't be a modern thing, right? ”

Chu Chen shook his head and told Liu Lao about the process of how to get this thing.

After listening to this, Liu Lao thought for a while and said: "According to what you say, things should indeed be made by the ancients, but why is there a candle in this thing, it's really unusual, is there any special use for this?" ”

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Old Liu, I'll show you a miracle in a while, but let's go back to the house first, it's not convenient here." ”
