Wen Qingshan didn't speak, he stared at the bead for a while, and suddenly turned to me and Seabeard and said, "Let's turn off the lights and have a look!" ”

"Why do you turn off the lights? Isn't that pitch black? I asked, puzzled.

Wen Qingshan just smiled, didn't explain much, raised his hand and turned off the miner's lamp on his head, and Seabeard and I had to do as he said.

Who knew that just after we turned off all the miner's lamps, a magical scene appeared, the whole body of the translucent white bead actually emitted a cloud of white light, almost illuminating the surrounding range of several meters. I immediately understood why Wen Qingshan asked us to turn off the lights, it turned out that this bead would glow on its own, and the light from the miner's lamp above our heads was too strong, if it was on, we couldn't see it.

Seabeard exclaimed, "This is a pearl of the night!?" ”

Wen Qingshan observed the bead that emitted this white light for a while, turned on the mining lamp again, frowned and said: "Most of the ancient night pearls were natural fluorite, and after being irradiated by strong light, they could emit a faint light of yellow-green, light blue or orange-red and other colors, but this bead emitted white light, and the brightness was comparable to a light bulb of more than twenty watts, which was really rare in the world, but it reminded me of a rare treasure." ”

"What Treasure?" I asked curiously.

Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said word by word: "The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui!" ”

"What is the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui?" I haven't heard of it.

Wen Qingshan said: "In ancient Chinese history, there are two treasures that are famous all over the world and must be fought for by emperors of all dynasties, that is, the wall of the He clan and the pearl of the Marquis of Sui. "Han Feizi" has a detailed record of these two treasures: "The wall of the He clan is not decorated with five colors; The pearl of the Marquis of Sui is not decorated with silver yellow, its quality is beautiful, and the thing is not enough to decorate. ’”

"What! A baby with the same name as the family? "I know that the story of returning to Zhao after the completion of the Bi, there is a mention in the middle school textbook, it can be said that everyone knows, more than 2,000 years ago, King Qin Zhao was willing to exchange fifteen cities for He's Bi, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure, and later He's Bi was also made into a jade seal by Qin Shi Huang, which was passed down for nearly a thousand years, and was not known until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and now Wen Qingshan said that this bead in front of him is actually a treasure with the same name as He's Bi, I still have some hard to believe for a while.

Seabeard also felt unlikely, he said: "After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Sui Zhu and Bi were both obtained by Qin Shi Huang, but after the fall of Qin, Sui Hou Zhu disappeared, how could it fall into the hands of King Chuang two thousand years later?" Besides, if he gets such a strange treasure, how can there be no record of it in both the official history and the wild history? ”

Wen Qingshan explained: "There is a beautiful legend about the pearl of the Sui Marquis, saying that during the Warring States Period, the Sui Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty went out to patrol the fiefdom and rescued a dying white giant snake on the way, and later the white snake spit out a huge crystal pearl and presented it to the Sui Marquis to repay him for saving his life. It is said that this jewel is white and round, like a crystal candle when viewed up close, and like the moon on the sea when viewed from afar. If you look at this bead again, it can also emit light in the dark, which is very similar to the pearl of the Marquis of Sui, and there is a white snake coiled next to it, I think this should mean that this bead comes from the white snake, and the origin of the pearl of the Marquis of Sui is basically consistent. ”

After listening to Wen Qingshan's explanation, Seabeard nodded thoughtfully: "When you say that, it seems that there is some truth." ”

I opened my mouth and said, "Could it be that the holy treasure of the cult that Third Master Hao said is the pearl of this Sui Hou?" ”

Wen Qingshan said: "If it is really the pearl of the Sui Marquis, then it is not impossible!" After all, the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui is a priceless treasure. ”

"I'd like to see what's so special about this priceless treasure." Seabeard said, holding out his hand.

However, because his hand was injured when dealing with the man in black just now, although it had been treated simply, there were still blood stains on his hands, Wen Qingshan saw this, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother Hai, you have injuries on your hands, don't touch the antiques, so as not to get infected, let Shi Yu come." ”

Seabeard had to retract his hand again, and stepped aside, I stepped forward and stretched out my hand to the jewel in the wooden box, who knew that at the moment when my finger just touched the bead, the white snake that had been motionless, which we all mistook for a white jade sculpture, suddenly bit at my right wrist at a lightning speed, so painful that I screamed, and hurriedly retracted my hand, and at a glance, I saw a few more snake teeth marks on my wrist.

Wen Qingshan and Haibeard were both taken aback.

"Holy! It's a living snake! As soon as Seabeard's words fell, the white snake in the wooden box flicked up, and its body was like a sharp arrow off the string, and it came straight to Seabeard, Seabeard hurriedly dodged to the side, and the white snake pounced into the air, fell to the ground, and quickly jumped towards Wen Qingshan.

The white snake that was cut in two struggled desperately on the ground, Wen Qingshan hurriedly avoided the side, he looked at me and asked, "Shi Yu, are you okay?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Before I could finish my sentence, I felt that my entire right arm had completely disobeyed the call, and my body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Wen Qingshan hurriedly rushed over to hold me up, I looked down at my right hand, and saw that the skin below the elbow had turned black! Without saying a word, Wen Qingshan quickly tapped me twice on the shoulder, sealed the acupuncture point on my right arm to delay the spread of the venom, and turned to Seabeard and said, "This snake is poisonous!" Did you bring an antidote needle? ”

"Yes!" Seabeard immediately took off his backpack and took out a box of injections from it.

He expertly injected the injection into my right hand, and after a while, the black color of the skin on my right hand receded a little, and it seemed that the antidote needle had worked.

Wen Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Brother Hai brought the antidote needle!" ”

He raised his hand to untie the acupuncture points on my shoulder. I tried to move, but I was still a little numb, but I was able to exert some strength and my body was no longer shivering.

We looked down at the white snake that was cut in two, and we couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the two bodies of the white snake actually gave birth to a head and a tail respectively, that is to say, after a snake was cut off, it actually became two in a very short time!

I've only heard of earthworms being cut off and can turn into two, but I've never heard of snakes having such regenerative abilities! No! Strictly speaking, this is beyond the scope of regenerative ability, and it should be regarded as reproductive ability!

We stared at the two white snakes that were about to take shape, and we didn't know what to do for a while. Although Wen Qingshan was holding the Broken Dragon Slash in his hand, he didn't dare to cut it again, in case the two white snakes became four again, it would be lively.

Seabeard froze, suddenly took out a rather thick plastic sealed bag from the backpack, regardless of the injury on his hands, stepped forward, and used the plastic bag to pocket the two snakes in one fell swoop, and he quickly pulled the zipper of the plastic bag, and the two snakes were put into the plastic bag.

Strangely, the two snakes did not struggle in the bag, but only slowly wriggled a few times before they stopped moving.

Seabeard said, "This snake is so peculiar, I'll have to take it back and study it, maybe I've found a new species!" ”

He carefully packed the snake into his backpack, and I said worriedly, "Brother Hai, be careful that this thing bites through the bag." ”

Seabeard smiled: "Don't worry, it's hard to cut through my bag with a knife, let alone snake teeth." ”

Wen Qingshan turned his head and asked me, "Shi Yu, how do you feel now?" ”

"It's just that my arms are still a little numb, but I don't feel anything else."

Wen Qingshan grabbed my right arm and looked at it, checked my pulse again, and said, "It looks like the poison has been resolved, but there are still remnants, Shi Yu, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me in time." ”

I nodded.

Wen Qingshan refocused his attention on the white bead in the box, he personally took out the bead, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This is indeed not an ordinary night pearl!" It should be Suihou Zhu, that's right! ”

Seabeard said excitedly: "If it is really Suihou Zhu, it can be called one of the major discoveries in the history of archaeology......" Before he finished speaking, Wen Qingshan suddenly turned his head and interrupted him, saying, "Brother Hai, I want to ask you for something." ”

"Why is Third Brother Wen so outward! If you have anything, just tell me. ”

Wen Qingshan said solemnly: "This orb, I want to stay and study it, and I won't hand it in for the time being, can I?" ”

Seabeard was taken aback: "Third Brother Wen, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to keep this treasure for yourself? ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "No! No! Brother Hai, you misunderstood, how dare I have the heart to hide such a strange treasure! It's just that before he died, Third Master Hao said that the black-clothed holy envoy came for a cult holy treasure, and I want to find out what kind of connection exists between this jewel and the Black Demon Sect, and I will hand over the jewel to the state in the future. ”

"This thing is priceless, it's not good to report it in person...... Seabeard looked a little hesitant.

Wen Qingshan said: "Brother Hai, you have also seen how vicious the people in the cult are, I always feel that they are carrying out a huge conspiracy. Therefore, I must investigate the matter clearly, and this orb may be a very important clue! ”

Seabeard didn't speak, his head bowed, as if he was thinking.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Wen Qingshan, and said, "Third Brother Wen, I believe you, I should have never seen this orb." ”

"Thank you, Brother Hai!" Wen Qingshan turned his head to look at me again: "Shi Yu, you also have to keep it secret, don't tell it." ”

I glanced out of the stone gate: "Can I let my uncle know?" ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Of course! ”
