The two helped Liu Lao and walked into the living room.

After sitting down, Liu Lao looked at the box and asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Chu, is there any secret to this thing?" It's so mysterious. ”

"yes, I don't think it's just a smoked box? The big deal is that the materials are a little sparse, and I really don't see any difference. Liu Qinshu's eyes were also full of incomprehension.

"Hey, wait, what's the smell? Could it be that this candle came from? Liu Lao suddenly sniffed with his nose and asked a little strangely.

After Chu Chen heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are amazing, you guessed it at once, but the candle alone can't show the magic of this thing." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Lao thought for a moment, and then looked at the box more closely, and after half a sound, he shook his head.

"Xiao Chu, hurry up and uncover the mystery!" Liu Qinshu's curiosity is now great, with the previous rebirth jade, she is also full of expectations for this box, thinking that this thing should not be worse than the reborn jade.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then lit the candle, just like yesterday, a strange fragrance wafted out in an instant, and after a while, it filled the entire living room, even Chu Chen, who had already smelled it yesterday, also showed a look of intoxication and indulgence, not to mention the other two.

"What the hell is this fragrance, how can it be so fragrant? The effect is so unique? After a long time, Liu Qinshu said in surprise.

Liu Lao frowned and pondered for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Is this a quiet candle?" ”

"Old Liu, have you ever had this kind of candle?" Chu Chen didn't expect Liu Lao to recognize this kind of candle before, and he was stunned for a moment.

Liu Lao waved and said, "How is this possible, this kind of meditation candle was also seen in a book similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas when I was young. The tranquil candle described above is this kind of performance, the fragrance is a hundred steps, the smell can make people calm, troubles and anger are gone, I always thought it was a legendary thing, but I didn't expect it to really exist. ”

Seeing Chu Chen's sudden expression, Liu Lao continued: "This candle is indeed a little magical, but it can't be a miracle, I think the miracle you said should be on this box." ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, Old Liu, you are right, below, please enjoy the scenery of the fairyland!" ”

After Chu Chen closed the lid, the picture had not yet risen, and he was attracted by the bright light refracted by the candlelight, and with the gathering of candlelight, the sea of clouds, immortal mountains, pavilions, and Taoist people gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"There are fairy mountains in Penglai, and there are ...... in the sea of clouds" This picture made Liu Lao unable to sit still anymore, a pair of eyes were blazing, staring at this picture, and his expression was a little excited.

"This ...... How is this possible, this is not a miracle, it is a miracle! ”

Liu Qinshu was even more stunned by this scene.

And although Chu Chen also watched it yesterday, but when he watched it today, he couldn't calm down, and he also yearned for the scene in the picture.

After a long time, Liu Lao calmed down and sighed: "Rare treasures! Xiao Chu, have you done any research, how exactly is this done? ”

Chu Chen smiled helplessly: "Old Liu, you are really difficult for me, no matter how good I am, I don't have this skill, but I have studied some of the truths." ”

So he told yesterday's guess, then picked up the lid, and together with the magnifying glass, handed it to Liu Laohou, and said:

"I think that the master should have obtained such a piece of material by chance, and I don't know how to discover that there is a phenomenon of reflection and refraction inside the material, and then according to his painstaking research, Zuihou used his superb skills to make this box."

After Liu Lao carefully looked at the lid of the box with a magnifying glass, he sighed: "It's really ingenious, the wisdom of the ancients is really unimaginable, but it's a pity that such a magical craft has not been preserved." ”

After Chu Chen heard this, he was also a little gloomy, it was a pity that such a craft had not been handed down.

After Liu Qinshu saw their expressions, he said: "You won't change the lost jishu back like this, let's still look forward, instead of being sad and sad, it's better to study and verify it." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled after hearing this, Chu Chen thought of a question, and asked, "Old Liu, can you see the approximate age of this thing?" ”

Liu Lao pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's difficult, first of all, this material is difficult to identify, and there is no pattern carved on it, if there is a pattern, you can also judge the approximate period according to the style, now it is difficult to identify at all, according to the story you said, it can only be judged that it may be made after the Tang Dynasty." ”

Chu Chen pondered for a while and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I'm just curious about what this special material is, Liu Lao, do you think this thing is made of meteorites?" ”

Liu Lao pondered for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "When you say this, I really think of one thing, Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty recorded a meteorite from the sky during the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the sun set, the people of Weizhou suddenly heard a loud noise like thunder in the sky, which turned out to be a big star, almost like the moon, appeared in the southeast.

After a while, there was a loud bang and moved to the southwest. After another earthquake, the stars fell in the courtyard of a person surnamed Xu in Yixing, and people from afar and near saw it, the fire was shining brightly, and the fence of Xu's house was burned down.

Then the fire went out, and there was a cave the size of a teacup in the ground, very deep. Looking down, I saw stars in the cave, glowing faintly. It took a long time before it gradually darkened, but it was still too hot to get close.

It took a long time to dig the cave, more than three feet deep, to find a round stone, still hot, the size of a fist, a little pointed at the end, the color of iron, and the weight of iron.

When Zheng Shen, the Taishou of Weizhou, got it, he sent it to Jinshan Temple in Runzhou for preservation.

Liu Lao continued: "Maybe this box is made of the meteorite that fell, and the Jingshen candle is said to have been invented during the Northern Song Dynasty, maybe these two are really related, but it is not necessarily." Of course, this is just a little speculation on my part, and whether this is really the case is unknown. ”

Chu Chen listened to the story told by Liu Lao, and guessed in his heart that there was really such a possibility, as for the story that the meteorite was only the size of a fist, but who said it clearly, maybe it was greedy.

Everyone admired the fairyland-like picture for a while, and Liu Lao asked, "Xiao Chu, what are you going to do with this strange thing?" Don't worry, I'm not trying to ask if you can change hands. ”

Chu Chen thought about it, and immediately knew what Liu Lao meant, and said, "Liu Lao, do you mean that you want to study this thing?" That's no problem at all, you can take it out, and if you don't say it, I'd like to ask someone to help me analyze the composition of the candle."

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Lao said happily: "Xiao Chu, xiexie, your trust, this thing is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure, just the jishu in it can be restored, the meaning is also extraordinary, and there is also the composition of that candle, it is also very useful to study it, if the energy is produced, then Xiao Chuchen, you will be rich." ”

"Zuihou's own materials are also very valuable for research, but you can rest assured that during the research, I promise not to damage people in the slightest."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "If you don't damage a single penny, you can't study what kind of material it is, as long as it doesn't affect the vision formed, it's no problem to take a little powder in an inconspicuous place." ”

Liu Lao smiled with relief: "Xiao Chu, you have a very high ideological awareness, but the matter of taking the powder will be talked about later, after all, it is destroyed, but it can't be restored." Speaking of which, Liu Lao asked Liu Qinshu to prepare an agreement.

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Old Liu, this is not necessary, don't I believe you yet?" ”

Liu Lao made a blank face and said, "How can such a valuable thing not make an agreement?" And strictly speaking, this is also a matter of the state, and you can't suffer a loss. ”

This agreement is not troublesome, it only took a while, Liu Qinshu came back, and then the two signed their own names, and this matter was done.

After signing the agreement, Liu Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, what did you just say you want me to study?" ”

"Hehe, I just want to analyze the composition of that candle and see if I can remake it." Speaking of which, Chu Chen briefly explained the reason.

Liu Lao smiled and nodded, and said: "Lao Zhao Zhi does have that problem, but have you ever thought that the treasure is moving, if it weren't for Lao Zhao's son, would you still be able to keep this treasure?" ”

"What you said is Liu, but I didn't know it would be such a treasure at the time, don't worry, I must pay more attention to it."

To say that Chu Chen was really careless this time, he knew that the hidden things would definitely not be simple, but he really didn't think about the security issue at the time, even if Liu Lao said it, thanks to Zhao Qirui's uprightness, if he changed someone else and saw such a treasure, maybe the result would be.

However, this was also because Chu Chen's ability had been used up at that time, and if he could have known the value of this box at that time, he would not have been so reckless.

Seeing Chu Chen's sincerity, Liu Lao nodded and said, "Xiao Chu, since you asked me to study something, let's scrape a little candle powder first, so that I can give someone an explanation." ”

Next, Chu Chen carefully took the candle off the candlestick, and then asked Liu Qinshu for a knife paper, ready to take a little powder from the candle.

"Wait!"
