Chapter Eighty-Six: Red Mountain Ancient Jade
Qin Zhen looked at the jade bowl in shock, and said to himself in disbelief: "War, Warring States ......?" β
Probably because Qin Zhen often came into contact with antiquities, so when he mentioned that this jade bowl turned out to be a treasure from the Warring States Period, he couldn't help but suddenly have a feeling that he was almost blind. This also means that this jade bowl is older than the age of the jade seal! It's definitely a rarity.
Unexpectedly, when Yudong saw Qin Zhen's shocked appearance, he added unhurriedly: "You take a good look, the bowl is the bowl of the Warring States; Jade is the jade of the Red Mountain. β
At this moment, it was Qin Zhen's turn and his eyes almost fell into the bowl! The jade of the Red Mountain?! Hongshan culture is more than 6,000 years old! Far farther than the Warring States several times! Hongshan culture is an important period of Chinese civilization, and this long era alone can almost be traced back to the legendary era of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Lao Gu looked at Qin Zhen's exaggerated expression, and couldn't help but look at Qin Zhen in a puzzled manner, and then said in surprise: "Where is Red Mountain?" Why are you so surprised? Is this thing valuable? As he spoke, Lao Gu pointed to the jade bowl in front of Qin Zhen's eyes.
"Valuable??" Qin Zhen said very unacceptably: "Can you still decorate something useful in your mind?" Do you know how important the Hongshan culture is? It is so important that it can determine who our ancestors are! β
After hearing this, Lao Gu was slightly stunned at first, and then smirked and said, "......"
Qin Zhen didn't like to listen to it when he heard it, and immediately emphasized to Lao Gu very seriously: "I said that the surname is Gu." Don't take ignorance for glory, will you? Do you know how many people in this world are questioning China's theory of three emperors and five emperors? China's historical dynasties have always been arranged from the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin, Han, and so on. No one has ever added Emperor Yan Shennong and Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan in front of the Xia Dynasty, right?
At first, it was because everyone thought that the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors were legendary figures, and they didn't exist at all. That's why it won't appear on the representatives of dynasties in Chinese history.
Later, however, the reason why the Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty became simply because it was the first hereditary ruling dynasty. And such a change is precisely because of the jade of Hongshan culture, which has pushed the Chinese civilization forward for more than a thousand years. For the Xia Dynasty before the three emperors and five emperors to find conclusive physical evidence. You say, is this related to the ancestors?? β
Old Gu looked at Qin Zhen dumbfounded, and then asked in disbelief: "Then, how do you know that this is the ancestral jade that you said is about to become a fine?" β
Asked by Lao Gu like this, Qin Zhen subconsciously glanced at Yudong, who was still leisurely flipping through the file.
Lao Gu snorted disdainfully: "Just because Dong Shao said it?" He was obviously despising Qin Zhen. Don't look at the head of the talk, it's the Tao. But in fact, it's half a catty, not much different from him.
"Fart!" How could Qin Zhen admit defeat like this, he immediately forced his face and said, "Come here, Boss Qin will open your eyes today." A long insight! Jade of the Hongshan culture. All of them are small and beautiful. If you get two things as big as your face and come out and pretend to be Red Mountain Jade. That glance is a fake! And the biggest feature of Hongshan jade is that it is thin and transparent, just like this bowl, the wall of the bowl is so thin that it is unimaginably Cheng dΓΉ. Come on. Take a closer look at the carving in the shape of a dragon. Is it no claws, no horns, just simple lines? This is also one of the typical characteristics of red mountain jade. The hardness of Hongshan ancient jade is about the same as that of Khotanese jade, but no matter how old it is, its natural color is very light and very rare. Look at these white mist ......"
Speaking of this, Qin Zhen paused slightly, then turned his head and looked at Yu Dong in surprise and asked, "This, this is ...... Shuiqin? β
Yu Dong glanced at Qin Zhen lazily, and then replied with a little impatience: "Didn't I tell you that this bowl has been in the water?" Of course, there is Shuiqin. β
What Yu Dong said was that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but Qin Zhen couldn't help but think of many, many very important things!
Before, Yu Dong said that this bowl was in water, but Qin Zhen mistakenly thought that it was only now that it was put in water. However, through Qin Zhen's careful observation just now, he saw that there was a white water like clouds and mist inside the jade bi. At this time, Qin Zhen suddenly understood that this jade bowl had been sunk in the water since a long, long time ago...... Otherwise, it would be impossible to come out with such water.
The so-called Qin color refers to a characteristic of ancient jade. It is a sign of the age of an ancient jade, and it is a decisive feature for determining the authenticity. Thousands of years of soil and water erosion will form symbiotic substances on the surface and inside of jade. This is the color of ancient jade.
The color of the jade produced in different places is also different. For example, the white one is Shuiqin, the yellow or black is Tuqin, the green Tongqin, and the extremely rare blood Qin, which looks a little weird.
More professional people can see where this ancient jade comes from from different colors.
And this jade bowl is what appears in the water. Generally, cultural relics are called "unearthed cultural relics", and this bowl should be called "water cultural relics". Although it is not known when it was rediscovered, it is very likely that the bowl came out of the sea......
Maybe it's because their trip this time has always been related to the sea, so Qin Zhen had to start wondering at this moment whether it was a coincidence that this Warring States bowl of Red Mountain Jade came from the bottom of the sea......
Yu Dong glanced at Qin Zhen lazily at this time, and then said with a slight smile: "You really look a bit like an antiquities expert now. You said so much, how did you end up stuffing yourself in it? The doubts in your heart can actually be answered by yourself. β
"I ......" Qin Zhen was not surprised that Yu Dong knew what he was thinking, after such a long time, he had long been accustomed to being seen through by Yu Dong at a glance.
Yu Dong put down the dossier and reminded Qin Zhen and said, "You have been talking about the Red Mountain Culture, where does the Red Mountain Culture include?" β
Qin Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "Uh...... It should be Chifeng, northern Hebei, Daling River, and Liaoning......" Qin Zhen suddenly paused.
Oh my God, Liaoning! They are now in Liaoning, Dalian is in Liaoning, and Yuwang Jiuding is also in Liaoning...... Could this jade bowl be ...... Also from somewhere in Liaoning?
"This ...... It's not a coincidence, is it? Qin Zhen asked Xiang Yudong in shock.
Yu Dong spread his hands slightly and said, "It's not sure yet." I only know that this jade bowl will be of great use once it reaches the bottom of the Yellow Bohai Sea. Whether or not it is a coincidence or not is a coincidence. β
Lao Gu suddenly interjected at this time and asked, "You two wait for a while...... Let me ask first, if this jade bowl is really so good, can we be considered stealing a national treasure now......? β
"Of course." Yu Dong said as a matter of course. The disapproving appearance is like taking a green onion and two garlic from a neighbor, and there is no sense of nervousness at all!
Lao Gu spread his hands, shook his hands and said, "It's over, it's a big deal now!" It turned out that those charges were falsely accused, and this time it became true! β
Yu Dong stood up with a smile, picked up the stack of files, rolled them up and knocked on Qin Zhen and said, "I am optimistic about your Shan Hai Jing, your Exorcist Mountain, and your Red Mountain Jade Bowl...... Have a good rest, tomorrow morning, your Miss He Xihe will come. Good night......" After speaking, Yudong smiled very gentlemanly and tilted his head. Then he walked out of the room with the dossier in hand, and it seemed that ...... He went back to his room to rest......
Qin Zhen was left looking at the gate in a daze, thinking back to what Yu Dong had just said...... In the end, he burst out at the door in anger and said, "My good night your sister!" Rest your uncle! You've put me on guard with so many things that are more important than my life, can I still rest?! Xia Yudong, you bastard! β
Looking at Qin Zhen's almost crazy look, Lao Gu hurriedly appeased and persuaded: "Hey, brother, don't be so angry...... In the past few days, we have been studying how to steal national treasures...... It's not easy for him, so let him rest and rest! It's a big deal for me and Daqi, can't we accompany you two brothers! β
Qin Zhen's heart was warm when he heard this, and he almost burst into tears. I just wanted to say something, it's still interesting enough to send a little brother! Lao Gu then said "uh" and said: "I'll accompany you with you, but I have to sleep...... It's really sleepy...... I'm right here, and I'm not leaving. You've got a good eye on those ......."
Without waiting for Lao Gu to finish speaking, Qin Zhen said angrily: "Go back to your house and die!" I accompany me with your dead sleep? If you sleep here, will you have a hairy use with me?! Hurry up, go anywhere. β
Lao Gu couldn't wait for Qin Zhen to say such a thing, so he hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and said with a smile: "Ah, look, this is what you said!" It's not that brothers don't fight righteousness, it's that buddies don't appreciate it. Think about it carefully and think about tomorrow's image problem, starting tomorrow, we will have to eat and live with your beloved......" I don't know why, Qin Zhen always felt that Lao Gu's last sentence carried an evil smile.
"Eat and live together? You're not afraid that she will kill you, you just do it! Qin Zhen still thinks of He Xi's cold blade, and he can't help but tremble! That girl, I really can't be provoked or touched! Especially for someone like Qin Zhen who already has a "criminal record", he has to be more careful along the way. Otherwise, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable.
After Lao Gu went back to sleep, Jiang Qi decided to guard this pile of deadly treasures with Qin Zhen very righteously. In fact, it was not to prevent thieves, but to worry that their actions just now had alarmed the place. As long as they leave the city early tomorrow morning, it will be easy to say.
