Chapter 59: Emeralds and Myths
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Old Man Hu appeared very punctually, and Zhanbai went over to open the 'door'.
Old man Hu is still the same as before, wearing a lake blue 'color' satin gown, he looks like this, and he is not afraid of being watched by people on the streets of the magic capital? The west 'door' Jin Lian was very curious-------- and the 'door' was Rong, and the west 'door' Jin Lian was busy greeting: "Mr. Hu, please take a seat."
"Oh!" Old man Hu said with a smile, "Jin Lian, this 'girl' baby, my old man brought some special products to see you, boy, go out and bring the things in the car outside for the old man." Old man Hu said in his mouth, the person has already strode in, this person is said to be older than Old Man Lin and Jia Yuanhua, but his muscles and bones are really good, and he does not look old at all.
"What, it's in the trunk of the car, be careful, it's 'broken'!" Old man Hu blew his beard and glared, and while he spoke, he was already sitting on the sofa of the West 'Gate' Jin Lian, and he didn't look like he was out of sight at all.
"Hmm...... Alright!" Zhanbai had no choice but to walk towards the 'door'.
"Sir, the trunk of your car is not locked?" West 'Gate' Jin Lian coughed twice and asked loudly on purpose.
Zhan Bai understood, hurriedly stopped, turned around and smiled at Old Man Hu: "By the way, old man, you haven't given me the car key yet."
Old man Hu smiled meaningfully at Jin Lian of the West 'Gate', 'touched' the car key, threw it over, and then said: "This 'female' baby has a lot of thoughts about 'flowers' and 'flowers'."
"Huh?" The West 'Gate' Jin Lian pretended to be puzzled.
Zhan Bai was also curious, I don't know what gifts this old man Hu will bring, outside, a stable Humvee, parked in front of the 'door', opened the trunk of the car, sure enough, a big broken sack, bulging, I don't know what it is. He instinctively reached out and 'touched', this 'touch', Zhan Bai suddenly cried and mourned, almost without looking, he also knew what was in the sack.
At the same time, he smelled a deliberate stench in his nose.
"I hope Jin Lian likes this weird thing." Zhan Bai almost pinched his nose and brought in the sack.
"What?" The West 'Gate' Jin Lian saw the tattered sack, which really fit the style of Old Man Hu, and I don't know where he found such a dilapidated antique sack.
"Quick, open it and take a look!" Old man Hu smiled very much.
Zhan Bai stared at Old Man Hu fiercely, divided it by two, untied the sack, and poured out all the things inside, and the strange smell was even more pungent.
"Durian?" Xi'men Jin Lian looked at this durian, known as "one of the fruits", with a huge size, sharp and solid hard thorns, and a strange fragrance unique to durian, no more, no less, exactly eight.
This old man is really ingenious, he actually went to the 'door' to give gifts, and 'made' it so chic?
"Sir, you can come here, what other gifts do you bring?" Xi'men Jin Lian deliberately said that she likes fruits, and she also eats durian chains, and she doesn't dislike the taste of durian, but -------- she sees Old Man Hu coming over with so many durians, she has a weird feeling.
Zhan Bai took a few steps back, stayed away from those durians, and stared at Old Man Hu again, this old man was definitely deliberate---- this smell was really not ordinary.
"Okay, let's stop laughing, show me that piece of jade!" Old man Hu glanced at Zhan Bai and said with a 'color'.
"Good!" Jin Lian of the West 'Gate' nodded, walked to the jade 'wool' material, uncovered the 'wool' scarf, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman can look at it however he wants." ”
Old man Hu took three steps and did two steps, grabbed the pear wood square stool, squatted on it, stretched out his hand and trembled to 'touch' the jade, staring at the snake inside, and now his expression was naturally the same as when Zhanbai and the West 'Gate' Jinzhi were shocked.
"I can't imagine that in my lifetime, I can avoid seeing its true face......" Old man Hu's hands trembled, and he gently 'touched' the snake king stone.
Xi'men Jin Lian is really a little worried, this old man doesn't have high blood pressure, elbow disease or something, right? If this elderly person is 'excited', he will get sick if he doesn't 'get it' well......
"Old man, isn't it just a 'jade' snake?" West 'Gate' Jin Lian deliberately pretended to be relaxed and said.
"A 'jade' snake?" Old man Hu repeated the words of the West Gate Jin Lian, but he was already staring at the snake in the jade without blinking......
Ximen' Jin Lian decided not to bother him anymore, and let him look quietly, she knew that the snake in this piece of jade really has too strong shocking 'sex', not that it is like a living thing, not to mention because of its own bizarre existence, just the snake head like human skin, can subvert the entire paleontological research theory.
Maybe that's the effect of 'jade'? Ximen' Jin Lian thought so, originally the snake was black all over its body, but because it had been in the jade for too long, it had caused it to become 'jade', so it seemed to be similar to human skin? However, if it is 'jade', why is there no 'jade' crown of golden lotus 'flesh' on its head? And its eyes, like the eyes of living creatures, why are they not 'jade'?
This explanation really doesn't make sense.
Zhanbai really couldn't stand the strange smell of durian, so he said hello to the west 'gate' Jin Lian, turned around and walked towards the 'flower' garden---- damn it, this old man is simply a pervert, how did he think of giving durian to others?
Many people don't like the taste of durian, and even some people want to vomit when they smell the strange smell of durian, nothing unusual.
Old man Hu stared at the snake king stone for about half an hour, at first he squatted on the ground, but then after a long time, his 'legs' began to go numb, and his old man knelt on the ground like this.
This action, no matter how you look at it, the West 'Gate' Jin Lian is a little weird, as if she is worshipping...
"'Female' baby!" Old man Hu suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Xi'men Jin Lian walked to her side, but found that Old Man Hu didn't know when, and he had already burst into tears, but she pretended not to see it, and asked with a smile: "Is the old gentleman optimistic?" ”
"'Girl' baby, what kind of snake do you say this is?" Old man Hu held on to the square stool, slowly stood up, and at the same time raised his sleeves, wiped the tears on his face, shook his head and said, "It's out of shape!" ”
"It's fine!" The West 'Gate' Jin Lian said softly, "I was also very out of shape after the stone was solved..."In fact, she has been calm, because she has long known the contents of this jade 'wool' material.
But Old Man Hu's question, she hesitated for a moment, and she couldn't answer, what kind of snake is this? There are many species of snakes in the world today, and this is only discovered by humans, and there are many that have not been discovered by humans, let alone how many......
And this snake should be an ancient creature, so she doesn't know what kind of snake it belongs to.
"Do you remember that I told you about the origin of jadeite?" Old man Hu glanced at the living room, and Zhanbai was nowhere to be seen, this durian was really easy to use.
Xi'men Jin Lian nodded, it's only been a long time, how could she forget?
"Legend has it that 'Nu'wa once made people out of the soil and made up for the sky by refining stones!" Hu Lao continued, "Legend has it that the 'female' pot was originally on the ground in Myanmar, refining stones to make up for the sky, so those discarded stones that have been exercised, and those who have not been able to make up for the sky have become the current jadeite. ”
When the West 'Gate' Jin Lian heard this, her heart was faintly moved, but when was the jade formed, and in what era did the 'Nu' Wa refine the stone to make up the sky?
According to some "messy" and unverifiable information, the formation of jadeite was probably 100 million years ago? The formation of jadeite, in geology, is also a mystery, some scientists say that jadeite is formed under the action of low temperature and high pressure, but anyone who has some geographical knowledge knows that it is absolutely impossible...
There are still many contradictions in the arguments of foreign scientists, and it seems that they are not advisable.
If you use Old Man Hu's deified explanation, it makes sense.
However, refining stones to mend the sky itself is an absurd myth and legend, and now there are such large ruins left for people to excavate for reference, doesn't it confirm that the myth is true?
The West 'Gate' Jin Lian has checked the year of the formation of jadeite, but there is no specific time for the formation of jadeite, which makes her even more suspicious, how these beautiful 'jade' hidden in the ground are formed, is it really caused by the 'Nu'wa refining stones to make up the sky?
Now science has shown that man evolved from apes, and naturally there is no such thing as making man out of earth----- mending the sky is just a beautiful legend." I still believe in such absurd legends, sir." Xi'men Jin Lian shook her head and said, "However, if it is regarded as a deification story, it is better to listen to it!" "Alright, let's talk about it as an apotheosis story!" Old man Hu looked at the snake king stone again and continued, "You should know that it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that 'Nu'wa and Fuxi' are both human-faced and snake-bodyed? ”
Hearing this, Jin Lian of the West 'Gate' couldn't help but shudder, and glanced at the snake inside the Snake King Stone, with a human face and a snake body......
However, she still nodded, people who learn Chinese, she naturally knows such a record in the Shan Hai Jing, and Fuxi has even more ancestors who claim to be self-proclaimed, if you put aside the scientific theory, this explanation seems to make sense.
"If it was a mythical story you made up, would you write a fictional person 'into' a human-faced snake body?" Old man Hu asked suddenly.
Xi'men Jin Lian was stunned, and she didn't speak for a long time, okay, what do you do to write people 'into' human faces and snake bodies? Even if you write people as other animals, there is no need for an ugly and scary animal like a snake?
"In the Western Bible, it is recorded that God built the Garden of Eden and warned Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of wisdom, but Adam and Eve were guided by the serpent and ate the fruit of wisdom, so they had wisdom, and God was furious, destroyed the Garden of Eden, and cut off the snake's feet..." ”
