Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Diamonds

This stone sculpture of a humanoid part wears a brocade crown hat, a silk robe, a pair of shoes, and a peacock's wings, which looks like a statue of a beautiful queen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The shape of this stone sculpture doesn't look like that of the Central Plains? Could it be Loulan's Meiji? My father was puzzled when he saw the stone carving.

"It should be, maybe it's the owner of this tomb, maybe it's a certain lady." The second uncle replied.

I was a little incomprehensible at this time, so I was puzzled and said, "But where did the peacock come from in this Loulan Ancient Kingdom?" ”

"What's wrong, what's the problem? Chronicle name? The second uncle looked at me and asked.

"It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just that this peacock is a terrestrial pheasant native to the East Indies in Southeast Asia and India in South Asia, how did it end up in Xinjiang?" I said.

"Hey! There are envoys in ancient times, maybe these envoys brought over, this cultural exchange, has not been broken throughout the ages, besides, the peacock is such a beautiful creature, it must be very lovely, the name of this Loulan ancient country is very beautiful, and it is more in line with the image of the peacock. The second uncle said nonsense, but it was not completely unreasonable.

This ancient cultural exchange, not only in words, books, and even music, especially when some small countries pay tribute to big countries, there may be any strange things, this peacock from Southeast Asia to the Central Plains, and then to the Western Regions, it is not surprising, I have not seen the peacock open the screen, but also know the peacock. It's like never eating pork, at least I've seen a pig run.

"Abu, what are you doing?" At this time, the second uncle suddenly shouted, and we found that Abu was groping around with his hand on the statue of Na Mei Ji, and by this time he had already touched his face.

"I didn't do anything, it's just that the eyes of this statue are so beautiful, my hands are itchy, touch it casually, don't care!" Abu said with a wicked smile.

"Huh? Eye! "We didn't understand.

With that, we have walked up to the front of the statue of Mei Ji to see what is going on with the beautiful eyes in Abu's mouth.

When we shine the flashlight on the eyes of the statue of Mei Ji, we find that this eye is like a living person, and this stone sculpture seems to be alive under the embellishment of these eyes, like a fairy in the sky, is the beauty of the world that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

But when we take a closer look, this eye is not carved from ordinary stone at all, but more like two gems inlaid on it, and it is a black gem, faintly glowing under the illumination of a flashlight, and this light is not dazzling, but occasionally emits a dim light when looking at the past, which seems to be refracted by these two jewel-like stones.

The master couldn't hold back at this time, as if he saw the difference in the eyes of the stone carving, and after observing it for a while, he was surprised and said: "This is not an ordinary diamond!" ”

"Diamonds!" Abu was so excited that he exclaimed, "It's not an ordinary diamond!" Mom, we're rich! ”

"You calm down first and listen to the master." The second uncle interrupted Abuna and said.

"Okay!" Abu answered, but then looked at the eyes of the stone carving, his expression became dark, and he said with disdain: "Master, you won't lie to me to be honest, right?" How can there be a diamond so dark! ”

We were almost made to laugh and bleed by Abu, and even the corners of the mouth of a person like Xiao Ye who did not smile couldn't help but rise.

After a while, the master said lightly: "That's a black diamond." ”

When we heard black diamonds, we were full of disbelief, this diamond is already rare, and like this kind of eyeballs are so big that diamonds are counted by carats, at least they have to be tens of millions, and there are still two, I have never seen a diamond with color, let alone a black diamond, which is really unprecedented.

What's even more incredible is that this black diamond, like any other diamond, is transparent, but because it has a black matrix, it looks like a lump of coal, but when you see it sparkling, you will be fascinated by the beauty of this black diamond.

After Abu heard about the black diamond, he was even more confused and said: "Cut, I thought it was so bad, why is the diamond still black, forget it, Brother Bu, I don't want it." ”

The second uncle obviously knew the difference between this black diamond, stood up and laughed a few times, and said to Abu: "Black diamonds are much more valuable than ordinary diamonds!" You're a clumsy boy. ”

Abu was shocked: "Huh? How is this black autumn still worth more than the sparkling diamond? ”

"Of course, have you ever seen a black diamond anywhere!" The second uncle replied.

"Nope." Abu shook his head and said, then asked, "How expensive is that?" How much does it weigh? ”

"Isn't that it! The price of this black diamond is at least several times or even dozens of times higher than that sparkling diamond. The second uncle's tone was a little emphasized.

"These are all upper-class jewelry, I really don't know where it came from, it's a miracle that black diamonds can appear in the Central Plains." My dad sighed.

"No matter, wait until I pry it out!" Abu took out a paratrooper knife and said as he tried to pry it into the eye of the stone carving.

We thought to ourselves that we wouldn't bother to do it ourselves, so we let him Abu pry slowly, and we would see if there was anything else in the pit

At this time, Abu is carefully prying the two black diamonds, for fear of breaking the corners of the diamonds, it seems that Abu usually does things roughly, and the things of the baby are really completely different, which is also a quality that a money fan should have.

My dad and I swam around the pit for a few minutes, but we didn't find anything else, but my father was still walking around the statue.

Suddenly, the master squatted down, and I don't know what he found under the statue, and suddenly he stood up again and shouted to Abu: "Don't move! ”

"What's wrong?" Abu looked confused, and was stomped by the loud roar of the master, and the paratrooper knife in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground.

"This black diamond can't move!" The master said again.

"But......" Abu looked innocently at his hand.

At this time, the two black diamonds had already been pried off by Abu and fell into his hands, only to see that there were several cracks around the statue, and the loose sand on the ground began to drill into those cracks.

"This Mei Ji statue has a mechanism!" The second uncle looked at the sand flowing under the stone carving and said in horror.

"Put the black diamond back." Immediately, the master said again.

"Oooh!" Abu's hands and feet began to panic at this time, but in this panic, he directly dropped the two black diamonds into the sand under the stone carving, and the two black diamonds actually flowed into the crack with the quicksand.

"Abu, you...... Pick up the Black Diamonds! The second uncle hurriedly shouted, and at the same time ran towards the statue.

Abu didn't care what the second uncle was saying at this time, and fell directly into the sand under the statue, and began to grope for the black diamond, but the sand below had already completely covered the black diamond.

"Don't look for it, it's too late." Xiao Ye suddenly warned on the side, and immediately stepped in front of the statue in two steps, dragged Abu up, and said, "Get out of this pit." ”

As soon as we heard it, this was the rhythm of the accident, so we listened to the master decisively, hurriedly climbed up the stairs on both sides, and stood on the top stairs.

Abu was a little reluctant to find the black diamond, and wanted to go back to find it, but before he could take a step, he was already dragged back by the master, Abu saw that the quicksand covered with the black diamond had already been lost in the cracks, and suddenly came back to his senses, and followed the master to run back, with a look of helplessness and reluctance.

When all of us were on the stairs, we saw that all the sand in the pit had been swallowed up by the cracks.

In an instant, I saw that the whole statue began to tremble violently, and then it slowly sank into the ground with the sand, and there seemed to be black things crawling out under the statue.
