Chapter Seventy-Seven: Red Men and Green Women
I sat on the edge of the rock by the river and looked weakly at the unattainable fairy water rock, helpless and weakly sighed, the jade cup passed in everyone's hands, I luckily pinned my hopes on others, hoping that anyone could inadvertently see some of the above clues, anyway, it is useless to count on me now, racking my brains I can't see what deep meaning is hidden in the pattern on this cup.
The cup was passed to Ye Qingyu, she has known us for the shortest time, and she has the least contact with things like antiques, just look at the way she holds the jade cup, she is trembling and cautious for fear that she will not hold it firmly and break it.
Ye Qingyu suddenly asked Wen Zhuo next to him curiously, the purpose of the Heyu Cup, Wen Zhuo was originally lazily lying on the rock on the side, hearing Ye Qingyu's words, the corners of his mouth hung an evil smile again, turned over from the rock, sat next to Ye Qingyu, and replied seriously, the Heyu Cup is the cup used in the Ming Dynasty royal wedding cup.
Wen Zhuo said while letting Ye whisper to hold the ears of the jade cup, which is composed of two jade rings and distributed on the left and right, the left is the dragon head title ring, and the right is the phoenix mouth title ring, according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, the two sides of the wedding each hold one ear, and drink the wine of the cup successively, implying that they share joys and sorrows, life and death.
Ye Qingyu was completely pondering the use of the jade cup, I saw Wen Zhuo with an evil smile on his face on the side, knowing that he wanted to take advantage of Ye Qingyu, at this time, he could still be heartless and cynical, I didn't know what to say about him except for painstaking work on the side.
Wen Zhuo urged Ye Qingyu to drink the wine in the Heyu cup to try, Ye Qingyu where Wen Zhuo thought more, holding the Heyu Cup in both hands and really planning to drink, she said that since she chose to leave clues on the Heyu Cup, it may have a lot to do with the use of this cup, we have all learned her simplicity, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, no wonder Wen Zhuo smiled so proudly.
I didn't bother to look at it, Wen Zhuo's little flower intestines could not be resisted by Ye Qingyu, and not long after I turned my head, I heard Ye Qingyu's panicked shout coming from there.
"What are you doing?"
We all turned our heads again, the uninhibited smile on Wen Zhuo's face just now was gone, and now he looked thoughtful and calm, he was originally a smart person, he was holding the Heyu Cup that was still in Ye Qingyu's hand just now, and Ye Qingyu still had wine stains on his body, which should have been left by Wen Zhuo when he suddenly snatched the Heyu Cup from her hand.
Wen Zhuo has always done what he wants, but he has never seen his reckless actions, not to mention that in front of Ye Qingyu, he held the Heyu Cup, and slowly held his hand to the dragon's ear, his expression was a little nervous and confused, when his other hand was held on the phoenix ear, my mouth slowly opened, the Heyu Cup in his hand was originally carved from Hetian jade, white and warm, but now the soft white jade is slowly changing into light red.
I slowly got up from the ground in surprise, walked to Wen Zhuo's side and looked at this strange color change, Wen Zhuo said that when Ye Qingyu was holding this jade cup in his ears just now, he just found that there was a color change in the cup, and he was also shocked at the time.
Yue Qianling came over, and suddenly said seriously, the jade cup was unearthed and handed down very little, she also saw it for the first time, but in the jade craft of the Ming Dynasty, there is a process called temperature identification, because the process and its complexity have now been lost, it is said that in the process of jade production, the pattern is reserved while the jade is polished and carved, relying on the jade to perceive the change in temperature, and different colors appear, and in the rendering of these colors, the pattern on the jade will be revealed, she has only seen a few words in the archaeological documents, Because such a process must require the integrity of the jade, it was originally a jade craft for the queen, and there are few inheritances themselves, and it is almost impossible to see the intact preserved, and there has been no jade with such a process until now.
Yue Qianling pointed to the jade cup in Wen Zhuo's hand and said, could it be that this cup uses this long-lost temperature identification process.
Wen Zhuo has been holding the dragon and phoenix ears of the jade cup to have such a strange color change, I have been studying the pattern on the cup before, and I didn't care about the structure of the cup, Ye Qingyu actually found this secret by her simplicity.
Yue Qianling said that this process will appear under the change of color, the special place is that with the difference in temperature, the pattern is also different, generally the royal drinking to help the fun, the more changes the process is more complicated, even if the jade cup does not carry the clues of the Ming Fourteen Tombs, itself is a rare treasure, its value is immeasurable, can be called Guibi Liancheng.
I asked Wen Zhuo to raise the jade cup high, the white and warm cup body has now turned pale red, a very breathtaking process, all rely on the temperature in Wen Zhuo's hands to transmit the dragon and phoenix ears and produce, presumably the key to this jade cup is the dragon and phoenix ears, but after looking at it for a long time, we are careful to distinguish any subtle place in the pattern, but in addition to the change of color, the pattern itself has not changed, not the slightest.
Zhu Yuanzhang chose a cup with such a process, what he valued should be the process that can hide the pattern, but why did the color change, but no pattern appeared, I frowned and thought carefully for a moment, and then looked back and asked Yue Qianling thoughtfully, under what circumstances will the color on the cup change?
Yue Qianling replied at different temperatures, after listening to me, I asked Wen Zhuo to let go of a hand, I held it on the dragon ring, the temperature of each person is constant, the temperature of my hand and Wen Zhuo should be different, I want to see what changes in this jade cup at different temperatures.
Yue Qianling was really right, when my hand held the dragon ring for a moment, the original light red gradually became thicker, and finally the whole cup body turned pure blood red, but the color was too strong Even the original pattern was covered by this blood red, and nothing could be seen.
I frowned and let go of my hand in surprise, the thick blood red gradually returned to the previous light red, the original pattern appeared again, I walked back and forth a few steps, thinking carefully about how Zhu Yuanzhang set this temperature since it is a pattern that depends on color, and color is determined by temperature.
When I stopped beside Ye Qingyu, my eyes suddenly lit up, Zhu Yuanzhang has so many jade objects to choose from, why do you have to choose a jade cup to carry the clues of the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, Ye Qingyu asked Wen Zhuo before the use of the jade cup, which is used in the royal wedding cup.
Holding the Heyu Cup for a big wedding is a man and a woman, even if the meaning of Heyu is Hehuan, Yin and Yang Hehuan!
I hurriedly asked Wen Zhuo to hold the dragon ring, and then asked Ye Qingyu to hold the phoenix ring, when Ye Qingyu's palm wrapped the phoenix ring, a touch of green revealed from the original light red.
Red men and green women!
The two colors merge together, and finally the red and green merge into yellow, which becomes brighter and more pure, until it becomes a bright yellow that symbolizes the emperor.
"Yes...... Someone! There are people in the picture! Xiao Lianshan pointed to the Heyu cup in surprise and said excitedly.
The jade cup that was raised by Wen Zhuo and Ye Qingyu together, under the illumination of the light, a person slowly appeared in the original pattern, and the top of the mountain where the wild geese flew south was the fairy water rock that we see now, but the rock wall did not depict these hundreds of hanging coffins, and the meandering flow below should be the Luxi River, which was the previous pattern, and now there is an extra person sitting by the river, holding a fishing rod in armor and fishing the Luxi River, because of the color change, the armor on this person is like gold armor, Even the fishing tackle in his hand is shining gold, and the Luxi River is now outlined as if it has come to life, with the flow of color, as if there is really a river flowing through the picture, and the river surface is as bright as brocade.
And the empty hilltop before stood full of armor, densely packed and countless, it can be seen that it is protecting the person hanging low by the river, because of the effect of color, all the armor is a golden armor, majestic and extraordinary.
Zhu Yuanzhang left the jade cup, and the previous pattern was to point out the location of the 14th Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, and the last pictures should be to accurately indicate the location of the 14th Tombs of the Ming Dynasty on this rock wall.
The only thing that is the same is that they are both wearing gold armor, and we have found no other visible changes.
Judging from the scene in this picture, the person who can wear the Ming gold armor representing the emperor's rights, the one who fishes should be Zhu Yuanzhang, and the top of the mountain is his army, Longhu Mountain is the land of Taoist ancestral court and immortals, but Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make a big move, and he is fishing the Luxi River alone, looking at this pattern, everyone is at a loss.
I really don't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to convey when he left this pattern, but unfortunately there is no text, and it is difficult to understand the meaning of the picture.
Wen Zhuo called Xiao Lianshan over, and after holding it for so long, he said that his hands were sore, and when Xiao Lianshan took the Heyu Cup, Wen Zhuo rubbed his arms and sat lazily on the side, pulled out a grass root and said to us casually.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is also showy enough, fishing for a fish is such a big battle, and he actually wears a set of gold armor, but unfortunately it is ordinary after all, and it is far worse than mine, hehe."
"Golden Armor...... Fishing...... Why did Zhu Yuanzhang wear gold armor to fish? Gu Anqi was puzzled and muttered to herself beside her.
"Majestic, you see him fishing alone, don't say anything, if I have the opportunity, I will also wear a set of gold armor to fish." Xiao Lianshan replied with a smile on his face.
After listening to Xiao Lianshan's words, Wen Zhuo suddenly took the grass root from his mouth, muttered the three words golden armor in his mouth, and said thoughtfully.
"I might know what this means."
