Oriental Ghost Sea Chapter 62 Blood Chime
"you, come and see what this is." The fat man said as he pulled something from the skeleton.
Lao Dai and I stepped forward to see what he was messing around, but I was not as careless as the fat man, and I still stood half a meter away from the chair.
The fat man touched it hard for a while before pulling something out. When the thing was first brought out, it was still stained with some black dirt, and he didn't dislike it too much, so he shook it off and rubbed it off on his clothes.
The thing was just rubbed, and immediately it showed an oily red color. The color is refreshing, as if it has just been fished out of a dye vat.
"Bloodstone?" Lao Dai asked on the side, and stretched out his hand as he spoke, wanting to take the things in the fat man's hand.
Where would the fat man give it, so he retracted the hand holding the thing. The old generation grabbed an empty hand with one hand, a little embarrassed, and finally withdrew his hand.
"I said I won't rob you, won't it be a broken bracelet." I scolded.
Because he was relieved of the siege on my behalf just now, he can be regarded as paying him back now. The thing in the fat man's hand, when it just withdrew its hand, I could clearly see that it was a red bracelet.
The bracelet itself was completely blood-red, and if it weren't for the fact that the fat man had pulled it out of the clothes of the bones, I would have thought it was made by modern dyeing techniques. His colors are too bright to look like they can be generated naturally.
"You know a fart, this thing isn't an ordinary bracelet, it's called a blood chime." The fat man looked at me with disdain.
The old generation squatted next to me, gasped and said, "You mean, this is the kind of blood jade raised with human blood?" ”
Jadeite or jade with a red tinge is because the texture of the jade is not pure. Generally, it is mixed with iron oxide, so it looks reddish-brown on the outside.
There is a saying that the thousand-year-old blood jade has been circulated in the jade industry, and later this statement has become more and more evil, saying that the jade has been brought for a long time, and the blood will enter the stone, and then there will be red spots like blood clots on the surface or inside the stone.
But the thing that the fat man was holding in his hand before was indeed a completely red jade, and the thing was dark red, but it could also be seen to have some crystal clear feeling.
"It seems that I will get rich when I catch up with your fat master, and the old dragon king can't stop it, and today I will get rich overnight." The fat man looked at the blood chime bracelet in his hand and said to himself.
I scolded: "What do I say, you fucking came up just to touch things, and you can't afford to be early." ”
"Look at you, a little comrade, what kind of consciousness, I also took it when I met it, and I didn't go directly to search for it."
I snorted and said, "I beg you to make a draft, you just molested it." As I spoke, I pointed to the bones in my chair.
"Alas, be careful, don't break it."
When the fat man was about to reply to me, the blood chime in his hand was suddenly snatched by the old generation. He was extremely careful when he held it himself, and when he was robbed by the old generation, he didn't dare to make too many moves, but just reminded the old generation to be careful again and again.
Seeing him like this, I feel that the fat man is a little too nervous, this is also a piece of jade, and it will not be bad to say that it is bad.
"It's also a fast stone, it's not so fragile, and I can show you if it's broken." I said.
The old man took the blood chime and looked at it for a while, and he was also very careful. Placed under the light of the flashlight, the jade of the blood chime is like a liquid flowing, so that it really means that blood flows.
"The real thing, this is the best blood chime." The old generation praised again and again.
I can't tell the condition of this thing, I haven't even heard the name of this thing before. I don't know where the old generation knew this, but he seems to know more about it.
But in my impressions and what he said, I knew that it was a bit out of his identity. According to him, he had been a soldier for at least ten years, and then he had been running boats, and he didn't look like he had ever been exposed to anything like that.
When I think about things, I can't help but pinch the beard that doesn't grow long on my chin, and it's the same now. Although he was inattentive, he still saw out of the corner of his eye that the fat man was really squeezing his eyebrows and didn't know what he was doing. I looked at him and found that he immediately changed his appearance, and reminded the old generation to take the bracelet carefully.
I turned my head to the old man, and as soon as he saw me looking at him, he handed me the blood chime in his hand somewhat unnaturally.
"I was also bored on the boat, so I found some magazines to read, and there was a book dedicated to antiques, so I just looked at it, and there was a record of blood chime on it, and I remembered it as soon as I saw it." The old man handed me the blood chime and said at the same time.
As soon as he finished speaking, I sensed that there was something wrong with this. But I just can't say it, it's too vague, and I don't know if it's the words themselves or the tone of the words.
He took the blood bracelet and weighed it a few times in his hand. I found that the density of this thing was higher than I imagined, and the small bracelet was not at all the weight he should have.
And strangely, this thing is cold all over, like an ice cube in the palm of your hand. The fat man is still worried about me.
I was annoyed by him, picked up the blood chime in my hand and pretended to make a motion that wanted to fall: "You are rambling, I will let you not see the whole thing in the next second." ”
The fat man was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped: "Yes, you take it." It's not that I'm verbose, it's just that this thing is so brittle that it could break if you use a little more force. ”
"So crispy, what the hell is this?" I asked.
"He is a kind of jade, a jade made by artificial processing."
I was intrigued and hurried to let him continue. He wanted to get the blood chime back quickly, how could I give it to him so easily, put his hand behind his back, and let him continue as soon as he raised his head.
The fat man snorted, I had his handle in my hand, and he was not easy to have seizures, so he started talking.
The name of the object was Blood Chime, just as his name meant directly. It is really the blood chime that enters the inside of the stone, so that the stone has such a brilliant color.
There are many kinds of carriers of blood chimes, usually small rings or earrings and the like. The survival is quite rare, and few people can come across it. The skeleton in front of us can have this, which proves that this person must have had a particularly prominent status in his life, otherwise he would not have carried such a valuable object with him.
I don't know what kind of stone the original stone of the blood chime is made of, but it is definitely not jade. This was also confirmed when we irradiated it with a flashlight, and the blood chime itself looked slightly cloudy, with the texture of jade, but through the light, it immediately became much brighter.
With such a degree of translucency, jade cannot be reached even by the glass species. In the early days of the production of the blood chime, the original piece of material should have been completely transparent, and it looked roughly like a crystal block, but it must not be a crystal, because I can feel it when I touch it now, and this thing and the crystal are two completely different textures.
Having the materials is only the first step, and the second part of the process is very bloody, but it only takes this step, and a translucent transparent stone will turn into a blood chime flowing like blood.
The craftsman will prepare a large amount of human blood, and this amount is simply not enough for one person. Legend has it that a blood chime the size of a wrench needs all the blood of two or three adult men.
Next, they would pour human blood and high liquor into a special container, and then place the stone in a special place and heat the container until the high liquor and blood inside were completely dry. At that time, I took out the stone in the container, and at this time it had already turned into a piece of blood chime with blood flowing inside.
"How did you know about these Shinto things?" I asked, confused.
"Hehe," the fat man laughed twice, "You have to learn from me at a young age, and read more books when you have time." There is a book called Fish and Sheep Miscellaneous, which records the entire production process of this thing in detail. ”
The fish and sheep offal sound a little familiar, and when I think about it, I feel that most of the fat people are blind names.
"The name of the book is Yuyangye Shi, and this name was made up by you temporarily." I said dismissively.
"You don't know this, those are two books, and the fish and sheep miscellaneous records are all recorded in the alchemy of some alchemists and some strange things, and the blood chime is one of the chapters of this strange thing." The fat man swore by it.
As soon as I finished speaking, the style of painting changed, and I immediately asked for a blood chime. I still think this thing has some effect, but it's not that I don't want to give it back to the fat man. If I put this thing in my hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my hands on it. It's just that for the fat man, it's still important, if he wants to do something extreme next time, I can at least use this thing to contain the fat man.
He saw that I didn't mean to give it to him, and he became a little impatient. It's just that there's a chair between me and me, so I can only lean over half of my body.
I took a few steps back, and he couldn't touch me at all. The fat man was fat, and as soon as he leaned forward, his stomach touched the chair in front of him.
The chair failed to support the weight of the fat man, and he was pushed by the fat man and fell to the ground with the fat man, and his body completely overwhelmed the skeleton.
The old man and I had dodged to the side before he fell. There was a snap, and there was a sound of bones breaking from under the fat man's body, and he didn't have to think about it, the fat man's body must have crushed the bone's head.
The chair was sturdy and did not shatter under the pressure. just knocked the fat man, making him let out another scream. It took him a long time to get up from the ground, and his body was already covered with black things on his bones.
I made a stop gesture: "I don't want this thing, I'll give it to you when I get off the boat, and I'll keep it for you now." ”
"Don't, don't you want my life." The fat man said helplessly.
When I saw him like this, I made another motion to fall, but in fact, there was nothing in my hand, and the blood chime had already been put in my pocket. But the fat man still ate my set, waved his hand and sighed, and didn't ask for it.
