Chapter 107: Blood Jade Chrysalis (Ask for subscription, ask for subscription)
Because the coverage in the golden well was only about half a meter away from the entrance of the cave, Xu Tianchuan's arm stretched out very easily.
The first piece taken out of the gold well is a gold silk brocade bag, the mouth of the bag is tied with a slipknot, after opening it is a handful of loess, this is the backfill, also called 'Ji Tu', is the first shovel of soil when the tomb is excavated, it needs to be collected for backfilling, a very common funeral custom, usually each tomb has backfill, but the place is different, most of them are put into the coffin, or directly sprinkled on the body of the tomb owner.
The soil is useless, but this gold brocade bag is still worth a breakfast price, and it is necessary to inherit the fine tradition of thrift and not to waste it.
After Xu Tianchuan poured out the backfill, he handed it to Jiao San next to him, and then began to continue to touch under the golden well.
Jiao San next to him took out a backpack and put everything Xu Tianchuan touched from Jinjing into the backpack.
There is one thing to say, this Qing Dynasty's great eunuch is really a trench, and the ones put in the golden well are all first-class good things, including jade rings, diamond rings, agarwood beads, and white jade pendants with carved lotus...... There are also white jade people and jade eight treasures.
The above are all jade, and the jade materials are all high-quality jade materials.
In addition to jade, there are also a variety of exquisite gold, cloisonné enamel, and so on.
The most important thing is that there are a lot of them!
The backpack that Jiao San was carrying could no longer fit, and all these rare treasures that he had received from Xu Tianchuan began to be placed on the ground, covering the entire place.
Before, Jiao San secretly scolded this ancient tomb for being 'poor and sour', but now it seems that he is indeed one-sided.
And now Jinjing has not touched the end, and at this time it has been dug more than a meter deep.
Xu Tianchuan lay his whole body flat on the edge of the golden well, and his whole arm was stretched into it, and he couldn't reach the things under the golden well.
Although there are probe claws and Luoyang shovels as tools, there is no way to hook them up through tools, such as some small-sized enamel pottery and some sleek things.
So I had to lean down.
Although Jiao San's figure is thin and small, it is more convenient to go down, but Jiao San does not have the ability to see at night, and needs to be illuminated with the help of miner's lamps, which is very troublesome, so Xu Tianchuan needs to do it himself.
Xu Tianchuan first supported the edge of the golden well with one hand, put his head down, and poked his upper body into the golden well.
After touching down half a meter deep, this method did not work, so the only way to hang the ankle with a rope and the whole person went down.
This method may seem and feel dangerous, and if something happens in Kanai, there may not even be a chance to react and dodge.
But this is also the only way to touch gold at the moment.
In other words, there is a danger that it will not be able to respond in time.
But Xu Tianchuan is different, Xu Tianchuan has the advantage of using the system storage space to take out the Youtian Sword at any time, even if he really encounters any sudden danger underground, he has a certain ability to deal with it.
"Where's the rope, put me down!"
Xu Tianchuan turned around and said something to Jiao San.
Jiao San immediately took out a coil of rope on his back, and in order to prevent the edge of Jinjing from rubbing too much against the hemp rope, he deliberately put a piece of gold skin on it, and then tied a knot on the rope every half a meter, so as to prevent it from slipping.
"Shopkeeper Xu, do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll loosen the rope and fill you in? ”
Jiao San watched Xu Tianchuan tie the other end of the rope to his ankle, and smiled in a joking tone.
In gang tomb robbing, for the sake of profit, this kind of thing happens from time to time, and it is also very normal. After all, they are all thieves, and in the face of huge interests, who cares about morality.
Xu Tianchuan glanced back at Jiao San, and also showed a slight smile, but the smile was a little treacherous: "I don't trust you, but trust myself!" ”
Forehead......
Jiao San looked at Xu Tianchuan's looking back, and felt goosebumps inexplicably.
Indeed, at least now Jiao San has a better understanding of Xu Tianchuan.
Let's not talk about whether there are crooked thoughts, even if there is, I really don't dare to do it, maybe if the knife is stabbed in Xu Tianchuan's neck, he can be killed......
"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, I'll tie a rope is just an insurance, I don't need you to pull the rope, if I encounter any danger below, you can pull the rope up to help me!"
Xu Tianchuan said lightly again, and then plunged into the golden well.
Because this Jinjing is only more than half a meter in diameter, with Xu Tianchuan's physical strength, it is easy enough to support both sides of Jinjing with his legs, and if he encounters any danger, Jiao San can pull the rope up again to help him quickly exit.
It's not about hanging yourself down with a rope.
This gold well is not dug directly from the ground, in order not to accumulate water and not store water, the stone bricks are specially built, and a layer of waterproof coating containing lime is also coated on it, because the air is not circulated before the tomb is opened, so the gold well is also very dry, Xu Tianchuan can be more conducive to supporting both sides of the gold well with his legs, and go down to the bottom of the well.
The gold well is filled with the smell of gold.
Xu Tianchuan picked up a large bronze vessel and put it into the system storage space.
Does this count as smuggling?
Xu Tianchuan didn't mean to swallow it privately, he would take whatever he liked, and first collect a few large items and put them in the system storage space, because it was not convenient to bring them.
But in order to avoid making Jiao San above suspect that he is 'non-human', he also has to take a few pretends.
What kind of yin and yang eyes, corpse lowering techniques, these can be understood, but to say that he has a storage space, in the eyes of others, it seems to be nonsense.
After receiving a few large items, Xu Tianchuan held a gold and jade belt inlaid with gems in his mouth, and held a gold silk glazed jade vase in one hand, retreated from the golden well, and turned around and handed it to Jiao San.
This gold silk glazed jade vase is a pair, and the sole of the foot is still an official kiln model.
Xu Tianchuan's career as an antique dealer was fortunate to see a similar model, but it was a single one, and it was broken, and the price at that time had been fried to the ceiling, so the price of this pair in good condition was self-evident.
Just went back and forth, and tossed more than 20 times in the golden well.
Fortunately, Xu Tianchuan's physical strength is better, from shallow to deep, he is very happy to touch, happy but not tired, if he keeps touching it like this, Xu Tianchuan feels that he can at least touch it all day.
In the end, the golden well was touched to a depth of nearly five or six meters, such a deep golden well, it is really unheard of, no wonder the top of the tomb did not see a single burial object, it turned out that all of them were thrown into the golden well.
Xu Tianchuan still wanted to touch it all day, but after reaching a depth of five or six meters, it had already bottomed out.
At the bottom of the well was a pool of red blood!
Although the scene Xu Tianchuan saw in the dark was green, it was only a bright green background, and the various colors could still be distinguished.
No! Doesn't it seem like a puddle of blood?
Xu Tianchuan looked at it carefully, it was a blood-colored stone, embedded in the bottom of the well, the size of a palm, the color was almost exactly the same as blood, and the surface was translucent.
"Blood chalcedony!"
Xu Tianchuan didn't think too much about it, and recognized this thing at a glance.
This is the legendary blood chalcedony, a very special natural blood stone, the original color is dark black, but this blood chalcedony has the property of sucking blood, as long as the blood is dropped, it will be immediately immersed in the stone, but only limited to the blood, any other liquid will not be dipped into, so this blood chalcedony also has another name called 'vampire stone'.
In the world of literature and entertainment, there is a cruel method of counterfeiting, called 'Xueqin Jade', that is, a piece of high-quality jade is stuffed into a live leg of mutton, or a live dog leg, and after a few years, the blood is soaked into the jade, and it is regarded as 'Xueqin Jade', which is a high-end and cruel means of counterfeiting, just for the blood to be immersed in the jade, and the quality is better.
But this kind of blood chalcedony does not need to be soaked in blood for a long time, only need to drip the blood on, and it will be dipped in immediately, and the most special thing is that after the blood is dipped in, it is like living blood stored in the blood chalcedony.
So when Xu Tianchuan first looked at it just now, he thought it was a large pool of blood dripping at the bottom of the well.
"Obediently, such a large piece of blood chalcedony, it seems that this is the legendary 'bottom of the pressure box'!"
Xu Tianchuan, who was paralyzed by the rare treasures he had just touched, became excited again in his heart, if the price is thrown away, in terms of preciousness alone, such a large piece of blood chalcedony can basically withstand all the things in the golden well.
Because other rare treasures can be made, and such a large piece of blood chalcedony is natural and extremely rare, and it belongs to one of the ten rumored treasures in the cultural and entertainment world.
It only exists in the rumors of word of mouth in the literary and entertainment industry, let alone such a large piece, even if it is the size of a fingernail, no one has ever seen it.
Because the blood chalcedony was embedded at the bottom of the well, Xu Tianchuan took out the probe claw and pulled out the blood chalcedony from the bottom of the well.
Such a good thing, or put it into the system storage space first, no matter where you put it, it is not safe to put it into the storage space of the system.
Xu Tianchuan held the blood chalcedony and his mind flashed.
But the blood chalcedony did not react.
"Can't fit in?"
Xu Tianchuan was surprised, it stands to reason how could such a small thing not fit in?
Xu Tianchuan flashed his mind again, and the blood chalcedony in his hand still did not react.
It's really weird.
"Living creatures?"
Xu Tianchuan reacted suddenly, the storage space of the system is limited, and the volume is too large to fit in, and the living creatures can't fit in.
Xu Tianchuan immediately took out a flashlight from the storage space and hit the light source of the flashlight on the blood chalcedony.
All jade is transparent, and if the light can't get in, it's an ordinary stone.
When the light source hit the blood chalcedony, Xu Tianchuan was surprised to find that there was a white object with the length and thickness of a little finger in the middle of the blood chalcedony.
It's a chrysalis!
A pupa worm!
"Blood jade insect chrysalis?"
Fortunately, Xu Tianchuan was well-informed and recognized this thing at a glance.
The blood jade pupa is the pupa of the imperial blood butterfly.
It is recorded in the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" that the imperial blood butterfly is a bloodthirsty insect that belongs to ancient creatures, and it is theoretically extinct, because no one has found any trace of this imperial blood butterfly for at least a hundred years.
In addition to being bloodthirsty, the imperial blood butterfly also has a characteristic, that is, the butterfly powder on the body has a strong paralyzing toxin, which can remain in the air for a long time, which is also a hunting method of the imperial blood butterfly, paralyzing the prey, and then sucking blood, no matter how large the animal can become its prey to prey on bloodthirsty, this is only one of them, the imperial blood butterfly can also spit out strong corrosive saliva.
Some ancients discovered this property of the Imperial Blood Butterfly, and would collect butterfly powder and saliva from the Imperial Blood Butterfly to prevent theft in ancient tombs.
This is also why the Imperial Blood Butterfly appears in the record of "The Secret Art of Sixteen Characters of Yin and Yang Generating Water".
As mentioned before, this imperial blood butterfly mainly lives on bloodthirstiness, so its pupa is the same, so it likes to parasitize the pupa in the body of the animal and rely on the blood of the animal to nourish the pupae.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the imperial blood butterfly must have sensed the blood contained in the blood chalcedony, so it used its own strong corrosive saliva to discharge the pupa into it.
It is also possible that the emperor blood butterfly was deliberately lured to drain the pupa into the blood chalcedony.
Because the imperial blood butterfly belongs to the ancient species, it has a certain spirituality, and uses its own blood and blood chalcedony as a medium to raise the imperial blood butterfly from the pupa worm, so after the pupa turns into a butterfly, you can regard yourself as the owner and become a special pet that you raise.
But now, the pupae in this blood chalcedony seem to have hanged, after all, hundreds of years have passed, although the blood chalcedony still looks bright red as blood, but in fact, the nutrients in the blood should have been sucked up long ago.
Such a large piece of blood chalcedony, and an insect chrysalis was discharged into the middle by the imperial blood butterfly, will this be discounted? Or is it because of the peculiarities that the price has risen?
About this, it will vary from person to person.
Some people may think that it has ruined the quality, but there are also some people who think that it is a miracle that has become two miracles!
But after pondering in his heart, Xu Tianchuan inexplicably had another stupidity in his heart, randomly bit his finger and dripped a drop of his own blood on the blood chalcedony.
When the blood on the fingertips dripped up, it quickly dipped into the blood chalcedony at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was almost faster than the cotton that absorbed water.
In the next second, the blood that had penetrated into the blood chalcedony quickly flowed and spread.
What made Xu Tianchuan feel even more incredible was that the chrysalis in the middle of the blood chalcedony actually moved slightly.
It's a move!
Xu Tianchuan saw it very clearly, he really moved!
The pupa of this imperial blood butterfly has not died after a hundred years, it must have felt the blood dripping into Xu Tianchuan, and it has recovered from its long sleep!
This nature is simply amazing!
There really is such a magical creature.
This also aroused Xu Tianchuan's great curiosity.
It is rumored that as long as the pupa is fed with its own blood as a medium, when it breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly, it will recognize itself as its owner and become its own pet, and the imperial blood butterfly also has a certain spirituality.
The Imperial Blood Butterfly is no different from other animals, and it is also an ancient creature, and this is absolute!
Then keep it by your side as a thing, a drop of blood a day will not have any effect on yourself.
But then again, the blood flowing on his body is not ordinary blood, but the blood of the green dragon!
Raise this pupa with the blood of the green dragon, and when it grows up and breaks into a butterfly, will there be any special ability to bless ?!--over--
