Chapter 39 As soon as the words of the exquisite coffin jade Lao Zhao came out, I was shocked, because I run an antique shop, so I have a certain understanding of jade. In my impression, there is a book that once mentioned jade Linglong, the book has a few words, only said that this thing is the magic of jade, but did not specifically say what the role of this jade Linglong is, the more this description aroused my curiosity, I didn't expect to meet here today.

I asked Lao Zhao what this jade Linglong was for, and Lao Zhao replied that the jade Linglong was actually a jade coffin. I was a little disappointed when I heard this answer, it turned out to be just a jade coffin, I thought it was some kind of treasure, and the book I read before was still tricky.

Seeing that I didn't care, Lao Zhao said: "Don't underestimate this jade exquisiteness, this is not an ordinary jade coffin." ”

"A jade coffin is a jade coffin, what difference can it be, isn't it just a piece of jade digging a hole." My words are straightforward.

Lao Zhao said with a smile that the reason why Jade Linglong is different from other jade coffins is because the production of Jade Linglong has strict requirements. To make jade exquisite, what must be required is a complete piece of jade, and the jade material cannot have a little flaw, simply put, just like a piece of natural glass. Jade, the beauty of stone, so jade itself is a stone. Synthetic artificial stone is not counted, if you want to find a piece of natural stone without a flaw at all, it is not an easy task, so those beautiful stones become jade, and it is even more difficult to find a complete piece of jade that can hold a person in the jade. Therefore, some people call the large outrageous jade, also known as coffin jade. On the one hand, it is said that the stone is big enough to be made into a coffin, and on the other hand, it is a metaphor for being promoted to an official and making a fortune.

But in order to make jade, this is only the most basic requirement. In addition to being complete and without flaws, it is also necessary to ensure the light transmittance of jade, how to test the light transmittance of jade? Especially such a large piece, but even so, those capable people in ancient times did not have the slightest sloppiness, they lit a candle on the other side, and then observed the candlelight on this side, if they could clearly see the candle flame on the opposite side, then even if it was a request to echo the request, if the candlelight seen was blurred, it would still not work.

Lao Zhao explained some things about jade exquisiteness, and after listening to it, I thought that these ancients were really boring, even if they found such a good jade material, what could they do to make this so-called jade exquisite, and it was not a human soul to die. Lao Zhao continued, in addition to preserving the corpse, this jade Linglong also has other functions.

"What's the effect?" I asked.

"Rise from the dead." Lao Zhao replied,

Listening to Lao Zhao's words, I couldn't help but gasp, can such a fantastic thing come back to life? If it can really come back to life, will the corpse in this jade exquisite dragon come back to life? I took a look at the vines, and I could only see a dark shadow in the white flowers, and the dark shadow should be the corpse of the tomb owner, which is the so-called corpse of General Wu Si.

I stretched out my hand to touch this jade exquisiteness, but was stopped by Lao Zhao. "Don't touch it, be careful with your hands." Lao Zhao said.

"Why can't you touch it?" I asked, surprised.

Lao Zhao said: "Brother Ling, you see how this vine grows, no matter how lush it is, even if it buries the entire jade Linglong, but none of them can climb to this jade Linglong, and they always keep a certain distance from it. ”

After Lao Zhao's reminder, I noticed that all the vines were almost vacant and growing here, and Yu Linglong was like a plague god, being avoided from a distance, forming a vacuum between the vines and Yu Linglong.

"Why don't these vines just climb up to it?" I said in surprise.

"This is because the temperature of Yu Linglong itself is very low, to put it simply, it is a natural refrigerator, in fact, this is another feature of Yu Linglong." Lao Zhao said, "The exquisite jade used in the production must be able to maintain an unusually low temperature in any environment, which sounds almost impossible, but in reality there is such a thing." Because of the particularity of jade, the craftsman has been frozen off his fingers when he has been in contact with jade for a long time during production. ”

"Isn't the person who lies in this jade delicate dragon frozen into a popsicle, and what is there to talk about coming back to life?" I was puzzled.

Lao Zhao smiled and said, It's strange here, the inside of Yu Linglong is not so cold, on the contrary, there is some warmth, things in the world are so strange.

Lao Zhao said so much, my interest in this jade Linglong is getting bigger and bigger, it's better to see it than to hear it, let me meet it today, I said I have to open it and see the people here.

Without doing anything, I called the pit and Song Jin, and several people worked together to remove the vines around Yu Linglong, and after a while, the entire appearance of Yu Linglong was presented in front of us.

At this time, when I looked at this jade exquisiteness, I found that it was really different from ordinary coffins. The jade in front of me is exquisite, the whole is a lotus-shaped, and it is a closed lotus, which seems to be budding and waiting to be released. Looking through the petals, you can see the figure of a person in the middle of the lotus, but this person is covered with a layer of brocade, and the face of this person cannot be seen. I looked at it carefully for a long time, judging from the size, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the corpse in this lotus flower was a woman, impossible, General Wu Si was a woman?

In ancient times, Mulan served in the army on behalf of her father, and Mu Guiying was in command, but she didn't expect that there was a female general in this Great Yuan Dynasty. The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, I called Lao Zhao to look at it, Lao Zhao also thought that there was a woman in this lotus, as soon as he heard that there was a woman, the pit excitedly moved forward, and looked hard into the jade Linglong, and said disappointed after looking at it for a long time: "Why are you still covered with a curtain, what are you shy." ”

"You shut up, you are cowardly, even the ancients dared to tease, be careful that she jumped out and squeezed you dry." As soon as I said this, I felt that there was something wrong with what I said, so I didn't continue.

I put the clothes on my hand, lightly touched the jade Linglong, sure enough, as Lao Zhao said, the temperature on the surface of the jade Linglong is extremely low, even if wrapped in clothes, my hands can still feel a burst of chill in the heart, if this is placed in the house, it can be used as an air conditioner in summer, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that although the temperature on the surface of this jade Linglong is extremely low, it does not affect the surrounding environment, as long as it is not touched, it can not feel anything. To be on the safe side, I put an extra layer of clothing on my hand to avoid frostbite. I touched around Yu Linglong and carefully checked each petal of the lotus, and I was surprised that there was no gap between these petals. However, this also brings a problem, we think that it will be difficult to open this jade exquisite.

I always feel that my back is cold, I feel that someone has been staring at me, think about it carefully, what is someone staring at me, but the eyes of those stone statues around the patio are staring at this jade exquisite, and I revolve around this thing, and naturally I am stared at by the statue, although the statue can't speak, it's all dead, but the feeling in my heart is still weird. I took off the heavy clothes on my hand, shook my head and said to Lao Zhao that it was very tightly closed and there were no gaps.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao smiled and nodded after hearing this. I looked at him like a ghost and asked him, "I said strictly, it's hard to open, and you're actually happy?" ”

"Of course, haha, that means this one we came across is definitely a treasure. For thousands of years, how many dignitaries, emperors and generals, which want to make a jade exquisite for themselves after a hundred years, but what can really be done, but very few, many people finally use a few pieces of jade to spell a jade coffin out to talk about **, as far as we found this, if put it in the archaeological world, it is definitely a great discovery that shocked the world. ”

Lao Zhao's words aroused the interest of the pit again: "I Di Niang, such a terrible thing, how much is it worth, but we are here to rob the tomb, not to archaeology, right, Brother Zhao, it is better for us not to sell this thing, let's buy one get one free, and sell the ancient corpses here, I heard that this thing is also quite valuable." ”

Listening to the words of the pit, Lao Zhao couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "Valuable is indeed valuable, but this thing has a price, how many people can buy it, and who dares to buy it?" "Lao Zhao's words are reasonable, who would buy a coffin to put at home, let alone a person with it.

is nonsense, according to my guess, this lotus flower is likely to be one in itself, and then covered from above, maybe we don't need to open it at all, we just need to find a way to remove this jade Linglong, and we can unveil the corpse inside. I didn't look at the lotus pedestal carefully when I looked at it just now, but when I thought about the feeling of being stared at by the stone carvings around me, I didn't want to go over to see it anymore, so I told Lao Zhao my thoughts, Lao Zhao took the initiative to check the lotus pedestal, I didn't think that my trick would succeed so easily, and when I was secretly happy, Lao Zhao shook at me and denied my idea.

How can it be? I didn't believe it, so I had to check it again, and then I realized that my idea just now was indeed too naïve, and I couldn't see any gaps in the main body and pedestal of the lotus flower before, everything seemed to be naturally formed, as if this piece of jade was a lotus shape from the beginning, and there was such a corpse in this lotus.

Of course, I also know that this is absolutely not true, and if this can come true, then I can only say that we have found the Monkey King's sister. There must be some clues that we haven't found yet.
