Chapter 315: Jade Cicada

I have repeatedly played with the diamond-shaped Lantian jade in my hand, and I have seen a lot of precious jade, and when it comes to jade, Lantian jade can be described as the premier jade.

"Congratulations here to Brother Chang, there are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking, Brother Chang is too humble, this eye strength is not comparable to ordinary people, and he can actually find Lantian ancient jade in the antique street, this is not an ordinary jade, Brother Chang has picked up a treasure today." I said with a smile.

"Lantian jade can also be a treasure?" Tian Ji scratched his head and said to the palace lord. "Lantian jade in Guanzhong, although this thing is known as one of the four famous jades, you can pick a place in Xi'an, and it also sells Lantian jade, this thing is not expensive."

"You don't understand this, the Lantian jade in Guanzhong now is talking about the jade ore mined in the area of Hongmensi Village, Yuchuan Town, which belongs to the new jade and the real Lantian jade." I shook my head and said.

"Is this Lantian jade real or fake?" The field chicken was confused. "Listen to what you mean, the Lantian jade that is now full of streets is fake?"

I can't cry or laugh, how can a person who is so transparent with Ying Yuan have a son like Tian Ji.

"This jade is named because it is produced in Lantian in Guanzhong, and Lantian jade has a long history of mining, seen in the Han book, Lantian, the mountain out of the beautiful jade, there is the Tiger Hou Mountain Temple, Qin Xiaogong also, but after the Han Dynasty, the ancient jade of Lantian is becoming scarce day by day, to the Tang Kaiyuan 17th year of April, Lantian Jade Mountain suffered an earthquake, the mountain destroyed more than 100 steps, the jade mine collapsed, the jade seedlings were covered, and the ancient Lantian jade that flourished for a time disappeared for nearly a thousand years." I put the diamond-shaped ancient jade in my hand in front of Tian Ji. "This is a real Lantian ancient jade, which can be described as a rare lonely jade, do you say it is a treasure."

"It is said that Uncle Zhao of the Sifang pawnshop is the king of Hades, it seems that Uncle Zhao's appreciation skills are all taught, and the shopkeeper Gu only touched it, and he can conclude that it is Lantian Guyu." Hua Xishuang nodded, convinced.

"Speaking of which, I'm really lucky, I can actually pick up a treasure by picking it up." Chang Hyuk still smiled humbly.

"Brother Chang is too humble, where can I pick up the leak, in the final analysis, Brother Chang has a unique vision, put together a piece of Lantian ancient jade and other jade, ordinary people really can't see the clue." I sent the jade to Chang He.

"Since the shopkeeper Gu is an expert, I look at the grain on this jade, and I infer that there should be a source, but I am only shallow and half-understood, I really don't know, and I hope that the shopkeeper Gu will give me a lesson or two." Chang Hyuk pushed the jade back again.

I look at the light green diamond-shaped ancient jade in my hand, there is a unique delicate texture of Lantian jade, the pattern is the same on the upper and lower sides, each with a bas-relief engraved animal face pattern, the front of the rhombus is an open-mouth curly-tailed tiger, the end is auspicious clouds, the middle is a dragon pattern, the utensils are gorgeous and magnificent, exquisite and abnormal.

The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and my eyebrows slowly wrinkled: "Look at the craftsmanship is a Qin Dynasty artifact, there is a dragon pattern on it, it should be a royal thing, and the dragon pattern is five claws and four dragons, which can be seen to be lower than that enjoyed by the emperor, but this diamond-shaped Lantian ancient jade should be inlaid on something, as for what it is, there is no way to verify." ”

Chang He didn't have any regrets, politely thanked me, put away the Lantian ancient jade, and said that he still wanted to walk around with Hua Xishuang in the Eight Immortals Nunnery, and when he left, Hua Xishuang said that she would stay in Xi'an for a while, and if there was news of Xie Tianhui, she would send someone to tell her.

When the two of them walked away, Tian Ji suddenly became interested: "Who said that there is no treasure here, you look at people, it is not the same to pick up leaks, your eyes are poisonous, let's go yo-yo, maybe you will be lucky." ”

I stood there a little distracted, and Tian Ji pulled me for a while before I came back to my senses.

"Why are you absent-minded again?" Gong Jue asked.

"Go back now, I have something for you to do." I pulled Tian Ji and Gong Jue and walked back.

"What's the matter?" Tian Ji asked.

"Hua Xishuang just told us where she stayed, after you go back, you find a few reliable people, be sure to watch this place, I have to know every move."

"Keep an eye on the flowers? She? What does she have to keep an eye on? Tian Ji looked puzzled.

"Who told you to keep an eye on Hua Xishuang, let people keep an eye on Chang He next to her." I looked grim.

"Why are you staring at Chang He, we met this person in Pingshui, and we didn't intersect, why do you care so much?" Gong Jue asked.

"The piece of Lantian jade in his hand is not simple." I said as I walked.

"What do you mean?" Tian Ji suddenly came to the spirit.

"There are animal patterns on the diamond jade, it seems simple, but the lines on it are cicada-shaped, this Chang He should not be small, although he is polite and humble, but I see that he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and my heart is very thorough." I say.

"At best, it's just a cicada-shaped Lantian ancient jade, isn't it expensive, look at you nervous, why does something come to you, you become suspicious." Tian Ji said.

"You are also the son of Ying Chengyuan, you were famous when you were young, Ye Feng in Shuzhong, Ying Long in Guanzhong, I at least learned something with Ye Jiuqing, you follow your father, why don't you grow up." I glanced at the field chicken and smiled weakly.

"Could it be that that piece of ancient jade has a great background?" Gong Jue asked calmly.

"The craftsmanship of the utensils is the Qin Dynasty, and the jade cicada in the Qin Dynasty is not something that can be worn casually, this thing is very particular."

"What's the matter?"

"The ancients paid attention to the jade cicada, they admired it in life, and they thought it was contained in death, and the piece of jade in Chang He's hand before, can you see that there are holes on it?" I asked seriously.

"There really isn't, that is, this jade cicada is not meant to be worn." Gong Jue thought for a moment and said.

"I admire it in life, and I think it is in ...... Since it wasn't worn, then, that piece of jade just now was a dead man's thing? Tian Ji was taken aback.

"Since the pre-Qin period, the feathering of the cicada has been used as a metaphor for people to be reborn, and the jade cicada is called the cicada in the mouth of the deceased, which means that the spirit is immortal and can be reborn and resurrected, and the cicada is worn on the body to indicate nobility, so the jade cicada is not only the ornament of the living, but also the burial jade of the dead." I nodded silently and said to them. "The burial jade contained in the mouth of the deceased is called the jade cicada because it is carved in the shape of a cicada."

The jade cicada can generally be divided into three kinds, one is the crown cicada, which is used for hat ornaments, without piercing eyes, the second is the cicada, with a pair of piercing eyes at the top, and the third is the cicada, which presses the tongue in the mouth of the deceased, and the knife technique is simple and there is no piercing of the eye.

And I carefully looked at the jade cicada in Chang He's hand, the knife technique is concise, rough and powerful, the knife is sharp, the decorative lines are quite beautiful, and the edge is sharp.

I've seen a lot of jade cicadas, but this is the first time it's so majestic.

Tian Ji was next to him and stopped, probably because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so I smiled helplessly: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Even if you are right, at best, it is a jade cicada carved from Lantian ancient jade, even if it is a dead man's jade, what does it have to do with us, why do you want to send someone to keep an eye on Chang He?" Tian Ji asked.

"But all ancient jade, especially jade, most of them are colored, but they are not obvious, but later generations have the habit of raising jade, which is called Panyu, jade is infiltrated for a long time, and the surface will produce a layer of smooth and moist Shantou wax, commonly known as pulp." I said it solemnly. "Think about it, the piece of ancient jade in Chang He's hand just now is shiny?"

"When you say that, it seems that there is really no luster...... Tian Ji patted his head and suddenly realized. Understood, you mean to say that the jade cicada that Chang He found was just dug out of the dead man's mouth not long ago. ”

"That's not the point." Gong Jue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stepped abruptly. "The key is who Chang He found this jade cicada from whose mouth."

I smiled and nodded, looking at Tian Ji and smiling bitterly: "When did you have such a bright brain as him." ”

"Just a piece of jade cicada, you can know who is holding it in your mouth?" Tian Ji was shocked.

"Didn't the song say, look at the craftsmanship is a Qin Dynasty artifact, there is a dragon pattern on it should be a royal thing, and the dragon pattern is five claws and four dragons, it can be seen that it is one level lower than the emperor's enjoyment, it can be seen that the person with jade is the royal family of the Qin Dynasty." Gong Jue said unhurriedly.

"Look at what you can, there are many emperors of Qin's royal family, how do you know who Hanyu is?"

"The dragon pattern of the Qin Dynasty is very distinctive, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he successively established various systems, including the ritual system, which includes the specifications of clothing and clothing, and the dragon pattern on the jade cicada is used by Qin Shi Huang, at that time, there is only one person who can enjoy the five claws and four dragon patterns."

"Fusu!" The palace lord blurted out.

"These grandsons stole the tomb of Prince Fusu?!" Tian Chicken was dumbfounded.

"You are wrong again, Fusu is not the prince, he is just the son, and Ye Jiuqing said that the well-known Fusu Mausoleum is just a clothed mound, and no one knows the real Fusu Tomb there." I shook my head and said grimly. "It can be seen that someone has found the real Fusu tomb."

"This is the ...... We even dug up the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, the co-owner of the world, and they dug up the tomb of Fusu, what does it matter to us, why do you want to keep an eye on Chang He? Tian Ji asked.

"The people who can let Hua Xishuang accompany them, and a few of them are ordinary people, the last time Hua Xishuang asked us to find Lu Qiao's tomb, and it ended up involving the Vientiane Shrine, don't you think it's very strange to meet Hua Xishuang and Chang He today?" I said thoughtfully.

"You mean, Hua Xishuang deliberately let us see Chang He?" The palace lord frowned.

"What we can encounter, I don't believe there are coincidences, Hua Xishuang and Chang He appear here, there must be other reasons, the real key is not Chang He, but the piece of jade cicada in his hand." I rubbed my forehead and said. "Chang He is not picking up leaks, he should be an expert in antiques, he probably knows the origin of the jade cicada, but Hua Xishuang let me see, she should be clear, I will definitely see who the owner of the jade cicada is."

Tian Ji touched his chin, still puzzled: "Let us see the jade cicada, just to let us know that we have found the tomb of Fusu, what is the purpose of doing this?" ”

"That's why I asked you to keep an eye on Chang He, there must be something strange in the middle, and I can't figure out the reason for it for the time being." I sighed heavily.

"Maybe I can guess." Gong Jue stopped behind and said.

"Guess what?" Tian Ji and I turned around and asked.

"Qin Shi Huang built a temple in Guanzhong to let the twelve ancestral gods rest in peace, he would rather hide Heshi Bi and Suihou Zhu separately, and did not plan to go to the temple to awaken the ancestral gods, but this secret, Qin Shi Huang will pass it on, this is related to the eternal country, he will only tell one person." The palace lord looked up at me.

"The one who inherits the status!" I opened my mouth suddenly, and it dawned on me. "After the death of Qin Shi Huang in the sand dunes, the only way to know the secret and location of the temple is Fusu."

It's a pity that Hu Hai forced Fusu to die, and I believe that the secret of the temple also disappeared with Fusu's death, but there is also a possibility that this secret may have been buried underground with Fusu for a long time, and if you find Fusu's tomb, you may be able to find clues to the temple.
