Chapter 31: The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui
After a brief greeting, the four of us walked one after the other towards the No. 4 girls' dormitory. On the weekend evening, the old campus of the Lingering Garden is still empty as last time, full of cold silence and infiltrating mystery. Along the way, several small shops that were originally open were cleverly closed by the school on the grounds of house maintenance after the last uncle incident, which made the campus even less popular.
I heard Mu Ruoyan say that for the uncle who pretended to be stupid, the police also interrogated him in detail on the grounds of investigating the floating population, and confirmed that he didn't know anything about the ghost puppet house website, and only acted as an inconsequential pony boy in the haunted house rental link. Subsequently, the police cleverly placed the uncle back to his hometown for other reasons, in order to avoid causing trouble to the follow-up investigation of the 13th Institute, which is also the reason why Lin Institute and I dared to appear in the old campus of the Lingering Garden today.
Walking in front of the four people is the blood-sucking mosquito and the source, from the back, they are shoulder to shoulder, looking intimate, the mosquito is still dancing and talking excitedly. Lin and I walked behind them, and the distance between each other was about 7 or 8 meters, which was not only convenient for the two people in front of us to flirt, but also convenient for us to discuss the case and exchange information, which was a good thing for everyone.
"Xiaolou, Ruoyan is already near the No. 4 girls' dormitory, she said that she saw that the dormitory building is now black, and told us to be very careful. Later, everyone will act on the opportunity, all safety first, remember? And don't remember to call me Lin Suo again, I can see that the mosquito is very vigilant against me when we met just now, he should be a cautious person, and the subtleties must not show flaws! ”
Lin Suo said very seriously, his eyes were firmly fixed on the mosquito walking in front, sure enough, he didn't care about it before, maybe Lin Suo's city was deeper than I imagined.
"Well, Lin Suo, oh no, it's Ah Han. I also smelled the smell of blood on the mosquito just now, and I suspect that the next person who will have an accident will be him if it is not the proprietress of the dessert shop. I also found a tattoo on his neck, and I always felt that I had seen it somewhere, but I just couldn't remember it. I said with chagrin, full of resentment at my declining memory.
"Do you still have headaches now?" Lin Suo turned his head to look at me, and his eyes seemed to contain a lot of emotion.
"The headache has gotten better during this time, and it can be said that I haven't had any pain at all. If you don't say that I really forgot, it seems that since I wore this jade necklace, headaches really rarely appeared, and I can smell the strange smell of blood on other people's bodies recently. Lin Suo, no Han, does this ancestral necklace of your family have a great origin? My body won't mutate, will I? ”
"Mozi said: The Bi of the He's family, the pearl of the Marquis of Sui, the three thorns and six differences, the so-called good treasures of the princes." Lin Suo smiled slightly when he heard what I said, he turned his head to look at the mosquitoes, and said a word of ancient text casually.
"Lin Suo, what you just said was the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui?? is "Han Feizi" said: The pearl of the Marquis of Sui is not decorated with silver yellow, its quality is beautiful, and the thing is not enough to decorate! The orb?? “
Hearing him talking about the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui, this sentence immediately popped up in my mind, and then my mouth said it as if it was uncontrollable. Lin Suo smiled lightly again, he turned his head thoughtfully and glanced at my neck, and then stopped talking. I was suddenly shocked, and the way he wanted to speak and stopped was clearly telling himself that the exquisite jade necklace around his neck was the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui!
Oh my God, is what Lin said really the pearl of the Marquis of Sui that is as famous as "He's Bi" and must be fought for by the emperors of all dynasties? Although scholars throughout the ages have different opinions about this treasure, they all agree that it is just a pearl-like thing, how can it be a jade necklace?
Whenever people talk about the pearl of the Marquis of Sui, many people will think of "He's Bi", because they are all famous in the world, and the emperors of the past dynasties must fight for treasures. It's just that people have long been familiar with the allusion to "He's Bi", but everyone knows very little about the legend of the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui. Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, the "Marquis of Sui" of the Western Zhou Dynasty went to his fiefdom (now Hubei) on a routine patrol in the autumn. When he walked along the way to the place of slag water, "Sui Hou" suddenly found a wounded giant snake on the hillside, lying there covered in blood.
According to historical records, the giant python was stopped and stabbed in the waist at that time, and the injuries were very serious, and it looked like it was dying of death. It's just that its two snake eyes are still bright, and they are still looking around. When the "Marquis of Sui" saw the giant snake's eyes full of spirituality, he was moved by compassion and immediately asked his subordinates to treat the python's injuries. When the giant snake regained its strength, it shook its huge body, and after three circles around the carriage of the "Sui Hou", it swam deep into the mountains.
A few months later, the "Marquis of Sui" returned from the fiefdom and met a child on the way. He stopped the carriage of the "Marquis of Sui" and presented him with a huge and shiny bead, but the "Marquis of Sui" inquired about the reason for the child's gift, but the other party refused to say. "Sui Hou" thought that he had no merit and could not accept this generous luke, so he did not accept the jewel offered by the child.
In the autumn of the following year, the "Marquis of Sui" once again went out on patrol to his fiefdom, and rested at the post station while passing through the slag, and he actually dreamed of the child again. The child knelt down in front of the "Marquis of Sui", claiming that he was the embodiment of the rescued serpent, and in order to thank him for saving his life, he specially came to offer the orb again. When "Sui Hou" woke up from his dream, he found that there was really a huge, white, round, and dazzling jewel at the head of the bed.
Subsequently, the news that the "Marquis of Sui" had obtained the jewel immediately spread, causing the princes of the surrounding countries to covet it. Soon, this Sui pearl fell into the hands of King Wu of Chu, and when the Qin State destroyed the Chu State, the Sui Pearl was occupied by Qin Shi Huang and was named the national treasure of the Qin State. Later, the Qin State was destroyed and the world was in turmoil, and Sui Zhu was nowhere to be found, and the historical record of it came to an abrupt end.
Although there is no special record of the legendary Sui Houzhu except for the Yamato Meeting, the world's interest and obsession with it did not stop with the disappearance of the record. Many people are speculating or researching, what is the material of Sui Houzhu that no one has seen today? According to many historical records and field surveys of the hydrological environment around the fiefdom of the "Sui Hou", people ruled out the possibility that the "Sui Hou Pearl" was a pearl, and came to the conclusion that it was likely to be a gem-quality diamond, crystal beads, opals, or even artificial glass beads. If these people knew that the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui was a jade pearl, what would they be?
