The jade slip in Han Daring's hand suddenly unfolded, with the golden lotus mechanism as the center of the circle, circled around, and merged the end with a "click", and the jade slip instantly became a plate. If it weren't for Han Daring's tight grip and very dexterous hands and feet, maybe the jade piece of the right talent would have unfolded, and it would have already fallen out of his hand, shattering this thing!

Han Dada'er and Ye Ling looked at the jade plate in their hands in amazement. He flipped the jade plate, and saw that the bottom of the plate was the alloy piece inlaid under the jade piece, and the jade slip was shaped into a sharp corner, circled around, and the jade slip fell and ended in a staggered piece, and the whole jade plate was just shaped like a lotus flower.

This gold-bottomed lotus-shaped jade plate with a diameter of more than one foot has a thin body, because it is all jade pieces that are unfolded and assembled, only a plate-shaped, but not as smooth as the ordinary deep plate. Although the end of the jade plate seems to be tight, the overall surface appears to be staggered and layered. There is a slight layer of drops, and the ladder is extremely shallow.

Han Da'er carefully looked at the body of the plate and found that the patterns on the jade plate were all carved out, and each of the strange pattern symbols passed through the plate, and they were all hollowed out. These hollows not only penetrate the jade pieces, but also through the alloy pieces inlaid on the back.

He held up the jade plate and shone into the morning light in front of the window, and the light passed through the hollow, revealing a strange pattern symbol on the ground. The pattern of the symbol was very strange, but he always felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be the same symbol pattern on the jade carved ghost ball in the ebony box before, and his heart was suddenly full of suspicions. Wang Weihan said that the jade slip was his family heirloom, but when he heard Ye Ling tell the story of the treasure theft, he stole the jade slip on the desk in the study, not that it disappeared from the treasure vault as Wang Weihan said.

Ye Ling said that there were magnifying glasses and other objects on the table in the study at that time, as if Wang Weihan was carefully watching and studying the jade slips, instead of wiping and maintaining them. Since this is his family heirloom, he must have played with it countless times, and he agrees to take a magnifying glass to study it carefully.

In addition, the pattern on the jade slip actually coincides with the pattern on the ghost work ball, so this is no coincidence, maybe the jade slip is the same as the ghost work ball, and it is one of the clues to find the endless ancient country.

Thinking of this, Han Da'er took out the ebony box he picked up in the cave in the ground and looked at it carefully. Ye Ling didn't know that the carved pattern on the jade slip was actually related to the clues of the Endless Kingdom and the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror. But when he saw the ebony box, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch the box.

Seeing this, Han Da'er hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said coldly in his mouth:

"Thief nature is hard to change!"

Ye Ling pouted and said:

"But I'm just curious!"

Han Daring said:

"You can't open this thing if you give it to you!"

Ye Lingqi said:

"Is this a box?"

It turned out that she only said that this black ebony was a clue, but she didn't know that it was a trap box.

Ye Ling smiled and said:

"I can't open it, but the big brother will definitely be able to open it! Open it up and let me see it! ”

Han Daring said:

"I can't open it either, but there is a person who is thoughtful, she opened it before, and I have to ask her this time!"

Ye Ling saw Han Daring talking about this person who could open the box, his tone suddenly turned gentle, and he said sourly:

"The person who can open the box must be a girl......"

He put his hands on his cheeks, his elbows on the table, smiled brightly, and said:

"Is that she good-looking? Or am I good-looking? ”

Han Daring ignored her, put away the ebony box, and was about to reach out to pick up the jade plate, but saw that the golden ball that was pressed down in the middle of the jade plate had been slowly rotating, as if it had a clockwork gear hidden in it, just like in the pocket watch, it could slowly rotate on its own. He reached out and pressed the golden ball again, and there was a soft "click" sound at the lotus pattern, and the golden ball slowly emerged from the depression and returned to its original position.

As the golden autumn popped up, the unfolded jade plate was also closed piece by piece, and finally the golden ball was reset, and the jade piece was also unified at the same time, returning to the appearance of jade Jane. The edge of the jade slip is still a circle of layered gold threads, if it weren't for the fact that Shicai has already opened and closed, it would be impossible to see that the jade slip is made of jade pieces at all.

Han Daring picked up the jade slip and walked out, and also ordered to follow quickly, and hurriedly asked:

"What are you going to do?"

Han Daring came to the front yard and said as he walked:

"I'm going to ask someone who knows how to ask for advice!"

Ye Ling stretched out his hand and pulled Han Da'er's sleeve and said:

"I'll go too!"

Han Daring and her parents said that they wanted to go out to do something, so they turned around and went out, and Ye Ling hurriedly bowed down with Han Daring's parents to say goodbye.

Han Daring'er's parents saw that this girl was very affectionate to Han Daring, and although they were happy in their hearts, young men and women were together, in case of dry firewood, they would inevitably make some unsightly things, so without waiting for Han Dada'er to go out, his father pulled him aside and told him again and again, and no matter what the girl's family background was, even if the two of them got married in the future, they must not do anything insulting before marriage.

Han Daring didn't want to explain more, just a few perfunctory words and went out with Ye Ling one after the other. In fact, if he said that Ye Ling was born as a female thief, even if the second elder was enlightened, I am afraid that his attitude towards this girl would change immediately.

Seeing that Ye Ling had been following, Han Daring said impatiently:

"Don't follow me! Big girl's family, stop stealing, hurry home! ”

With that, he got on his bicycle and sped towards Yiyi Street. In fact, with Ye Ling's light skills, it was no problem to catch up with a bicycle, but she didn't chase after it, but turned around and went back to Han Daring's house.

Han Daring rode to the Estimation Street, a half-foot blue antique shop, talking about the New Year, and the Estimation Street was very lively in the early morning. At this time, not long after the antique shop opened, Han Daring entered the shop, only an apprentice was cleaning up, and when he saw that Han Daring was coming, he hurriedly invited him in to serve tea. He didn't eat breakfast, he bought a set of baked cakes and steamed buns on the way, sat in the shop and drank hot tea, ate the baked cakes and steamed buns, and waited for a while, and the blue half a foot came to the shop.

Han Daring hurriedly stepped forward to greet and salute, and when Lan Ban'er saw Han Daring coming, he knew that he had something, so he said straight to the point:

"You're early enough! What's the matter? You didn't come to invite me to the banquet! ”

Han Dada'er only remembered at this time that he had promised to invite Lan half a foot down to the restaurant, but he forgot about it when he was busy, so he looked a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly said:

"That's right, that's right! Let's get the moon seat at noon! ”

Lan Banqi whipped the dust on Wan's body, took off his cotton robe, picked up the tea that the apprentice made for him, took a sip, and said lightly:

"First month? I'm afraid I haven't even booked a seat yet! ”

Han Daring was even more embarrassed when he heard him say this, and Lan Banqi said:

"Come on! You kid will open the curtain with my dog and deal with it! What's the matter, let's talk about it! ”

Han Da'er said with a smile:

"I have to say you, Shengming! I do have an object here, and I want to ask the second uncle to give me a palm! ”

As he spoke, he took out the jade slip and put it on the counter. This is the rule of the antique shop, the object is not in the hand, can only be placed on the table, never reach out to pick it up, or take it from the other party's hand, otherwise it will not be clear if it is bumped. Han Da'er also knew this rule, so he didn't hand the jade slip to Lan Banchi's hand.

Lan Banqi picked up the jade slip and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he explained to Han Daring, saying that this jade slip has been warm and moist, and the pulp has been thick for many years, at least before the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the material is a piece of Hetian jade, which can barely be regarded as white jade, because it is not as white as white jade, and it is not as heavy as green jade, which is between the two, so it can barely be called white jade.

Han Dada'er had actually only heard of Hetian jade, and Lan Banqi explained to him that in fact, jade is divided into many kinds, in addition to Hetian jade produced in Xinjiang, there are also Lantian jade, Xiuyu, Dushan jade, even turquoise, lapis lazuli, agate, and marble can be classified as jade.

Among them, Hetian jade is respected and Lantian jade is respected. Legend has it that He's bi is a piece of blue field water jade. Many people think that Lantian jade is produced in Lantian, Shaanxi, but it is not. Lantian was called Green Ridge in ancient times, it was a plateau on the ancient Silk Road, and part of the plateau was in Xinjiang, so Lantian jade was actually produced in Xinjiang.

Because the jade itself is hard and warm, the ancients often compared jade to a gentleman, as the so-called, jade has five virtues "benevolence", "righteousness", "courtesy", "wisdom" and "faith". Moisturizing with warmth is benevolence; Honesty is the predicate; It is a courtesy to hang down and not fly; Meticulous and solid is wisdom; Clarity of texture is faith.

Therefore, the ancients often said that the gentleman does not go to the body for no reason, and wearing jade jewelry has become a symbol of the gentleman. But jade is actually only recognized by Chinese, foreigners paper people gems, jade is just a stone in the eyes of foreign devils.

The so-called Jane, that is, Jianzha, is used to write letters and documents in ancient times, and most of them are made of bamboo and wood. Saying that, the blue half a foot carefully observed the jade slip, and sure enough, when he saw those carved patterns and symbols, he sighed, brought the jade slip closer, looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself:

"It's not an oracle bone inscription, and it's not like a stone drum inscription, what kind of writing is it......?"

Han Da'er saw the blue half-foot gaze and met the engraved pattern symbol, and didn't pay attention to the mechanism on the jade slip. Hurry up:

"Second uncle, the ball in the middle of this jade slip is a bracket, and it can be expanded with one press!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the golden ball on the nasturtium. Lan Banqi put the jade slip on the counter, wanting to find a magnifying glass, and then check it carefully, who knew that Han Dada'er saw the blue half-foot flipping over and over to look at the jade slip, and he was in a hurry, so he stretched out his hand and pressed hard towards the golden ball, and Lan Banchi hurriedly stopped it, but he spoke out to stop it, how could Han Daring be fast.

The golden ball "clicked" into the heart of the golden lotus, and the jade slip suddenly unfolded piece by piece, circled around and assembled into a plate. Lan Banqi actually found out what was wrong, but he didn't expect Yu Jian to be able to put it together like this, and he was also taken aback, but then he glared at Han Da'er, and said with a sigh of teeth:

"You're so fast! I saw that mechanism just now, this thing needs to be opened with a special object, why are you stunned by the dead hand! ”

Han Daring said:

"Actually, I've already opened it once!"

Blue Half Foot Road:

"It's a good thing, it's a pity if it is destroyed!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently picked up the jade plate, and admired while watching:

"The handiwork of this ancients is really exquisite, and it can cut the jade arc into equal slices, and the pieces are as if they were one, without revealing the slightest flaw, which is simply ingenious!"

Han Daring said:

"There's a layer of gold on the back! It's like alloy! ”

Lan Banqi turned over the jade plate to look at it, touched it again, smelled it, and continued:

"This piece of gold is made from a mixture of metals such as gold and white gold, and even a thin piece is very hard. The jade piece is cut too thinly and is very easy to break, so this gold piece is inlaid to make it not easy to damage! ”

Lan Banqi said that it is not easy to make jade, so he told Han Daring in detail about the process of jade from material selection to production, which has to go through thirteen steps, such as "pounding sand", "grinding pulp", "opening jade", "piercing", "rushing", "grinding", "digging", "flowering", "drilling", "penetrating flowers", "penetrating flowers", "wooden stumbling" and "skin stumbling".

Specifically, it is to make red, black, yellow sand and other jade sand first, and then use the finest sand and immerse it in water for later use. Use a hacksaw and water-soaked black sand to cut off the jade skin. Then use a sharp round steel disc made of piercing, with water-soaked red sand to cut the peeled jade.

After the jade material is cut, it is made of four or five or two or three minutes of thick steel rings, and the edges and corners of the jade are cut off with soaked red sand, showing the shape of the vessel. The surface is then finely ground with a "grinding" made of steel discs of various sizes. If there is a need to hollow out the inner chamber, use a steel drum to dig out the chamber, but leave a jade mull. This requires a senior master to intercept it with a small hammer. If you want to make a small mouth and a big belly, you must use an elbow flat cone to continue digging with the jade sand.

Now a lot of jade will be cut into a small plate, polished to make nothing to do card, take righteousness and peace and nothing. There are also some rough seeds, which do not require carving. However, in ancient times, many jade surfaces had to be carved with patterns, so small steel discs of various sizes, that is, rolling, would be used to carve patterns on the surface of the utensils.

Some of the shapes that need to be punched are drilled through the small eyes with diamond drills, and the jade sand is finely dissolved with the "curved bow saw", and then carved out with the drawn patterns vertically. Use the "horizontal wooden mallet" or "vertical wooden mallet" to fix the jade piece, and then use the curved bow steel wire string to pass through the small hole on the jade piece, and then cooperate with the jade sand to carve out the pattern along the painted appearance.

If you need to punch holes, put small pieces of jade into holes or grooves with similar contours on the wooden board, press the wooden board into a large bamboo tube filled with water, and then pull back and forth to drive the iron cup to rotate, and use diamond diamonds to punch holes in the jade. Large pieces of jade are polished with wooden sand and colored mortar, and if the jade is small, it is polished with small sand made of dried gourd slices. Finally, the wooden stump is wrapped in cowhide and the jade is polished.

After listening to this, Han Da'er looked at the jade plate again and said:

"If it's so troublesome, why don't you use gold and silver to do it, but you have to use jade?"

Blue Half a Foot To:

"First, I like the people of the country like jade since ancient times, and secondly, gold, silver, copper, iron, etc., are very easy to rust, and it is more difficult to preserve them over time.

Lan Banqi suddenly noticed that the golden ball in the heart of the golden lotus was concave, and when he saw that it was concave in the bracket, it was rotating slightly, so he said:

"The middle of this jade plate is not only a machine switch, there should be an object that can be embedded in it and rotate slowly! This seems to be the base of a combination! ”

When Han Daring heard this, he looked at the bracket carefully, if he said that he could embed an object, his first reaction was the lost ghost ball, and then he thought of the ebony box that he brought out of the cave last night, and the box was placed at home before going out just now!

As soon as he was excited, he suddenly thought of why Ye Lingshi didn't chase after him, but he must have turned his head back to steal the ebony box!
