I saw that the basin of water turned red as if it had been poured into a bowl of blood, and it was only as red as the color, but not as viscous as blood, and it was still crystal clear.

"This ...... How is this possible? Is it really like what you said before, Brother Chu, this jade cicada used to be soaked in blood? Wen Yuting said in surprise, and when she talked about Zuihou, she was even more frightened and pale.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "How is this possible, in fact, there is no conclusion on such a thing as Xueqin. Think about it, as soon as a person's blood is coagulated, how can he go to Qinyu. Just like in our ordinary life, even if we kill a chicken, the blood drips on the ground, and it turns purple and black after a short time. ”

"The jade must be softened in the ground before it can be formed, which will take at least a few hundred years, and the blood at this time has long been unknown to what substance it has become, how can it still go to Qinyu, and it can also produce such a bright and bright red Qin?"

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Datong said, "The method of forging ancient jade, the grass of rainbow light, like madder, out of the deep mountains of Xining, sweat can dye jade, add a little brain sand, burn it with bamboo branches to roast it, red light comes out, this law is called old oil, it is rare now." The new method of extracting oil, simmering with ebony sawdust, the color is black, simmering with red sawdust, the color is red, and this method is used for forgery. ”

So now some people think that the blood in the heirloom jade is likely to be related to the "rainbow grass". As for whether this is the case or not, we have no way to consider, so Xiaowen, don't be so afraid. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Wen Yuting's heart calmed down a little, but the vision in front of her was still very curious, so she asked, "Then what is going on?" ”

"Xiao Chen, is this the legendary reborn jade?" Zhou Wenping also asked excitedly.

Chu Chen smiled: "Yes, what Brother Zhou said, this is the answer you want from Xiaowen." ”

Reborn jade can be said to be the king of jade, it is rare in the world, and many people have never had the opportunity to see it in their lives.

The so-called rebirth is that it was originally a piece of mutton fat white jade with excellent texture, which was buried in the soil for hundreds of years and invaded by corpse blood and corpse gas. After being unearthed, it was played with by others, so that after a hundred years of popularity infiltration, then the gas was unearthed again into the soil, and it was reborn several times.

"Brother Chu, you still said that it was not made of human blood, so this reborn jade weishenme is this statement again."

Chu Chen saw Wen Yuting's frightened look, so he said: "Xiaowen, this is just a statement by people, as for what is going on with the reborn jade, no one knows. Besides, do you smell the water, does it smell a little bloody? ”

Li Guodong also suddenly said at this time: "Ah, I remember, there is a book that says that when the Eight Kingdoms invaded the capital and Cixi fled west, she brought a small piece of ancient jade with her, and later gave it to Wang Wenshao, the accompanying minister, and it is said that the jade is also a reborn jade." Xiaowen, think about it, Cixi is not afraid of reborn jade, what are you afraid of? ”

"Really?"

Wen Yuting saw Chu Chen and they nodded yes, and then really went to smell the water in the basin, there was indeed no taste, so she was relieved.

Chu Yulan asked, "Brother Chu, how long will this piece of jade be soaked?" ”

"It's going to take about two or three hours."

"Ahh It's going to take so long! Chu Yulan said in surprise.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "You must know that this is ancient jade, only after some of the impurities on it are completely softened, we can continue to deal with it, otherwise if it is hard, this jade will be damaged." There is just some time, so I will tell you what to do with what we should do after getting an unearthed ancient jade. ”

"Get a piece of ancient jade unearthed not long ago, someone may use 84 disinfectant to clean, but this is not good, we know that 84 is corrosive, after use, it will corrode the ancient jade, if you must use it to disinfect, the concentration must be below 10%."

"Like our general situation, just soak it in clean water at room temperature, wait for the impurities on the surface to soften, then brush it with a toothbrush, and then soak it in hot water about fifty or sixty degrees, soak it until the hot water and jade slowly cool naturally, this step is best placed in a thermal insulation place with poor air circulation, and wait for the hot water to cool down slowly."

"The effect of using hot water is to fully relax the pores of the jade and spit out the dirt inside. In this way, once every three months in the cold season and once every two months in the summer, a total of three times, it is completed. ”

When Chu Yulan heard this, she asked, "Brother Chu, is it okay to pan jade in this way?" ”

"Yes, as long as the first cleaning is over, you can do the panyu."

Chu Yulan asked again: "Brother Chu, then do you know how to make jade?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "I'm not omnipotent, I really don't know much about Panyu, after all, I haven't Panyu either." Xiaolan, you ask this because you want to plate that jade bowl, right? If this is the case, I suggest you give up as well, let's not say that the jade is relatively light and thin, and in terms of the volume of the jade bowl, it is inconvenient to plate it. ”

Chu Yulan thought about it, and it was really like this, so she said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't expect this." ”

Next, while there was still a little time, everyone chatted about various issues in jade together, especially Chu Chen talked about the identification of jade, and told some eye-catching stories related to this, so that everyone could listen to it with relish.

Because it is summer and the weather is relatively hot, this jade cicada can be cleaned after soaking for two hours. So Chu Chen picked up the toothbrush and brushed it very carefully, as the soil on the jade cicada's body was brushed off little by little, a jade cicada that was as red as a gem gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's so beautiful."

When they saw the true face of the jade cicada, Li Guodong and the others all widened their eyes, and they all had a surprised expression on their faces.

When the jade cicada was cleaned, Chu Chen gently wiped it with a cotton towel, then took out a magnifying glass and observed it carefully. After about ten minutes, he put down the magnifying glass, breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the jade cicada to the others to look at.

After everyone read it, Chu Chen pondered for a moment and said: "This jade cicada should be a piece of cicada carefully made in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and the jade material used should be the top-quality mutton fat white jade, and then it was almost the soil of the fifth dynasty, and it was played with for almost a hundred years. ”

"In the Song Dynasty, it was re-entered into the soil, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was unearthed and played for a period of time, and then it was put into the soil for more than a hundred years, and Zuihou re-emerged from the soil. These can be seen from the traces of pulp and different panyu techniques. ”

"It's so troublesome, it's unearthed, it's playing, and it's going into the soil, does this thing have anything to do with the soil?" Li Guodong muttered after listening.

Chu Chen said jokingly: "Who called this a cicada, think about it, the larva of a cicada will have to stay underground for several years before it can see the light of day again, and if it wasn't unearthed and put into the soil like this, there would not be such a beautiful reborn jade now." Let's see what it looks like to put it in the water now. ”

Speaking of which, Chu Chen directly asked for hot water of fifty or sixty degrees, which was just enough to complete the cleaning steps just now.

When the reborn jade cicada was put into the water again, everyone's eyes were still full of shock, and there was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the two girls.

When the jade cicada enters the water, the color of the water also becomes bright red, the difference is that due to the red water mapping, the red jade cicada at the bottom of the basin is more vivid, under the afterglow of the sun, it seems that the whole jade cicada is emitting a slight red light, which is simply beautiful.

This situation made Chu Yulan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chu, I don't know ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Chen: "Xiaolan, I'm very sorry, this jade cicada, no matter what, I will definitely not change hands, I will always treasure it." ”

Chu Yulan saw the determined expression on his face and knew that it would be impossible to impress him no matter what, unless it was ...... However, this idea had just appeared, and it was immediately ruled out by her, maybe in the future, but she hadn't thought it through yet.

Zhou Wenping looked at the jade cicada and exclaimed: "This jade cicada should be the only one of its kind, in terms of performance, it is much better than the legendary Cixi's haode, and I don't know if Ma An didn't clean it up at the beginning." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "I think, it is very likely that he saw that the dug up was blood-red jade, which is a little unlucky!" ”

This point, so he guessed that Ma An thought it was very bad because this jade cicada was unearthed and blood-red, so he kept it in a corner, completely unaware that this was actually a legendary reborn jade. ……

In the evening, Chu Chen took out the jade cicada and watched it repeatedly for a long time before he was satisfied and put it away. This jade cicada is so precious that after Chu Chen gets it, the progress bar of the ability is directly filled with one-tenth, which is the value of ten million.

However, when it came to this, Chu Chen was a little slanderous, because in terms of the valuation of the ability, the value of this jade cicada is even higher, that is to say, even if the value of the related things is high, at most it can only make the progress full of one-tenth. But fortunately, he is not in a hurry, and after waiting for southern Yunnan, with gambling stones, the speed of saving should be very fast.

Then let's talk about this jade cicada, if Chu Chen solemnly collects it because it is too precious, and does not play with it, it will really be a tyrannical thing, and the treasure is like grass. To get an ancient jade, you must play, and you must play more, so as to make the ancient jade more distinctive, and this process is the Panyu mentioned earlier.

Although Chu Chen also knows that Panyu is divided into three types, one is a rush plate, the second is a slow plate, and the third is an intention plate. However, he didn't know much about the specific plan because he hadn't practiced it. And if it is necessary to apply the method of panyu to this reborn jade cicada, he is even more unclear. He planned to go to Uncle Wu and Liu Lao for advice immediately after he went back.
