Han Da'er escorted his parents' hometown to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and on the way back and forth, he would take out the jade pillar to study every day when he was free. Mei Ruohong opened the ebony trap box twice, the last time it was a jade carved multi-layered ghost work ball, but this time it was a rounded square jade pillar thicker than a candle.

According to the "Jinhai Strange Chronicles", three of the nine Zhenhe stone beasts were hidden, which were related to the clues of the Nine Hidden Abacus City and the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror in the Endless Country. These clues are all on the "ancient artifacts" hidden in these three stone beasts.

Three ancient artifacts, one is the "Ring Stacked Jade Cup" in Wang Weihan's hand, the other is really the "Ghost Ball" lost by Han Daring in the underground river, and the other is the "Topaz Pillar" in front of him.

Topaz is one of the kinds of jade produced in Hetian, Xinjiang, mostly produced from Ruoqiang, the good topaz is greenish yellow all over, the second is green and heavy, and the most basic is only faint yellow. The jade pillar in front of him was very burnt yellow, and the color was a little strange.

Han Daring found that in the center of the jade pillar, there was an opaque part that was almost the same height as the jade pillar, and it was an iron bar embedded in a piece of yellow wax. At this time, Mei Ruohong opened the trap box and found it when he took out the topaz pillar.

It seems that the middle of the jade pillar has been hollowed out, as if something has been filled in. Although this jade pillar is lush, it always feels greasy to the touch, and it is not as smooth as jade.

At first, Han Daring thought that it was the pulp formed by long-term play on the jade, and the so-called pulp refers to the layer of "luster" on the antiquities, which is the oxide layer formed by long-term oxidation on the antiquities. The older the artifact, the thicker the pulp.

But after careful observation, he found that the layer on the surface of the jade pillar was not pulp, but a thin layer of yellow wax. Not only the jade pillar body, but also the two ends of the jade pillar are also wrapped in yellow wax, and the wax layer at both ends is much thicker than the wax on the column body.

Han Daring scratched a few times on the surface of the jade pillar with a knife, feeling that the yellow wax wax was hard, and he was afraid that scraping hard would hurt the utensils, so he lit the candle and placed it next to the jade pillar, so that the flame of the candle was hot and slightly scorched the wax layer on the jade pillar.

Since it was only 10 years of early spring and the weather was still cold, it took a long time for the wax layer to begin to melt slightly. With the softness of the wax layer, he touched off part of the yellow wax with his hands, and found that the jade pillar was not the burnt yellow he saw before, but the blue yellow was the color of the jade itself, and the burnt yellow was actually caused by the yellow wax wrapping.

At this time, looking closely at the body of the jade pillar, there were a lot of hook back figures carved on the pillar body, and he suddenly thought of the "fairy urn" carved on the ghost ball and the jade slip. But these hooks are blocked by yellow wax and can't be seen clearly, so on the surface, the jade pillar looks very smooth.

He reached out and touched the jade in the wax layer, and saw that the jade was hard, and it should be the same as the ghost work ball, it was Hetian jade. So he got bold, put the jade pillar in the enamel basin, poured a cup of soju on the jade pillar, and with a little fire, the liquor met the flames and quickly burned, and the flame wrapped the jade pillar all over the body, and after a while, all the wax layers on the jade pillar were melted.

He used a dry cloth to wipe off the excess yellow wax from the surface. At this time, I found out that this jade pillar turned out to be a tubular circular hollow in the center, and it turned out to be a jade cong.

In ancient times, people used jade cong to worship the gods and gods, which is an ancient jade ritual vessel. It was originally cylindrical, and later it was straight rod-shaped, arch-shaped, etc. Some ancient sorcerers also often used inferior jade cong, or burned jade cong, to suppress evil spirits in tombs, collect corpses for embalming, and avoid evil spirits.

In "The Book of Rites, Rites and Fortunes", there is a cloud that "salutes the sky with the firmament, and salutes the earth with the yellow cong". In ancient times, people believed that the sky was round and the earth was square, so the round "Cangbi" represented the sky, and the ancients often called the sky the sky, and the sky referred to the cyan. and chose Huang Cong to represent the land. Yellow is the color that symbolizes the land.

At that time, it was believed that the jade cong was a product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and modern archaeology has proved that the jade cong appeared at least four to five thousand years ago, and the earliest jade cong unearthed today is more than 5,100 years ago.

This Huang Yu Cong in front of you is different from ordinary Yu Cong!

One end of the jade cong is slightly convex, the other end is concave, and the slightly convex end has a golden metal bottom edge of the mouth, the mouth is a bit like the gear of modern machinery, and a circle of concave and convex teeth is poked down, as if it is to be inserted into something and bite with it.

On the circular tubular inner wall of the jade cong, there is a yellow and clear metal layer, like a metal pipe embedded in the inner wall of the jade cong. The metal tube is two or three millimeters thick and only half the height of the jade, and the metal tube is connected to the metal cladding at the slightly convex end.

On the cross-section of this metal tube two or three millimeters thick, there are three very small circles of concentric circle notches, the notches are very thin and not as thick as a hair's hair, and it is almost difficult to find them without careful observation, and this notch is in a transverse and longitudinal cross position, and there are four grooves longitudinally, the grooves are very thin, but very deep. If the grooves are connected longitudinally into a line, with the three concentric circles, it is like the target used in target shooting, marked with crosshair concentric circles.

There seems to be something embedded in the center of the metal tube in the jade cong, but the thing is embedded in it, and it is very strong, even if you use chopsticks to take the bucket, there is no sign of loosening. Looking at the light from one end of the jade cong to the other, like the light of a telescope race, the object embedded in the middle seems to be able to transmit light.

The other end of the jade cong is a concave circle, with a smooth and flat surface, and it seems that it can put a round ball the size of an egg on it steadily.

The hooks on the surface of the jade cong are all carved deep into the hollow of the jade cong. Although Han Dada'er didn't understand the so-called "fairy urn", the style of these hooked strokes was very similar to the carvings on the ghost ball and the ringed jade cup.

It's just that half of the "fairy urn" on the jade cong is blocked by the metal tube embedded inside, and only the other half can transmit light. Han Daring felt that the space in the middle of the jade cong could fit half a candle into it, so he had a whim, found a candle, cut off more than half of it, sharpened it with a knife, lit it, turned off the light, and put the concave end of the jade cong downward.

At this time, under the swaying of the firelight, a circle was printed on the wall of the room, and the curved hook back patterns were all on the jade cong, carved fairy urns, printed through the light, and with the shaking of the flames, they were constantly flickering. But this pattern is printed on the wall, only the lower half, because the half that is covered by the inner metal pipe cannot transmit light, so the upper part of the wall is pitch black, and there is no light pattern.

Han Daring felt that the metal pipe in this jade cong might be of other use, so he tried to gently pull out the metal wrapper at the bottom with his hand. But the mouth of the bag did not move, only a click. Han Daring was afraid of damaging the utensils, so he didn't dare to pull it out again.

At this time, he looked at the teeth on the metal edging of the jade cong, and suddenly remembered the jade cup in Wang Weihan's hand, after the jade cup was unfolded, the metal circular bulge in the center seemed to be the same as the metal edging on the jade cong, which was an alloy made of gold and other metals. And there seemed to be some gaps around the round protrusions, perhaps just enough to insert the teeth on the edge of the jade cong.

He hurriedly reversed the jade cong, gestured back and forth, and thrust it down, as if the jade cup was racing in front of him.

The jade cong was reversed, and he saw the concave circle at the top of the jade cong again, and felt that if the ghost ball was not lost, it seemed that it could be placed on it. In this way, it seems that three ancient artifacts can be put together into one, but the ghost ball is lost, and now I never know, what will be the use of this thing when it is put together.

Han Daring thought that the ghost ball was lost in the underground river, and it was impossible to find it, if he could find Wang Weihan to borrow the jade cup to try, he might be able to confirm his conjecture.

But when I think about it, I don't think it's appropriate. Before the ghost work ball, in his own hands, he attracted the masked man to visit the house at night. If you go with the jade pillar and go to Wang Weihan, in case of walking news, you will lead the Sanyang Sect to Wang Weihan's house.

However, when Han Daring thought of "attracting the Sanyang Sect", he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He thought to himself, the Sanyang Sect is bent on finding the Endless Kingdom and the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror, so he attaches great importance to these three ancient artifacts, although the ghost ball is gone, but he can use Yucong to lure out the backbone of the Sanyang Sect, even if he can't attract the Yellow Robe Ancestor, he will definitely be able to attract the masked man. As long as a heavy ambush is set up in advance, and even the roof is arranged with a dark sentry with loaded guns and ammunition, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to come and go.

Han Daring returned to Tianjin Wei and went to the epidemic prevention hospital first, Ye Ling had already left a few days ago. Han Daring never knew Ye Ling's address, but when she heard Lao Su say that her injuries had healed, she was relieved.

He has been recuperating at home since he broke the True Immortal Temple, and only then will he go to the headquarters to report for fraud. After arriving at the main hall, he first told his plan to his inability, hoping that Mei could arrange manpower to ambush him at home.

Since the last time Mei was found out by Han Daring, Mei not only did not reveal it, but also helped detoxify Mei's family, plus Han Daring saved his life under Zhou Bo's knife twice, and Mei was even more grateful.

In fact, the main reason is that Han Dada'er did not expose the truth of the evidence room theft case in front of the director of the hall and preserved Mei's ability. Although Han Daring didn't take this seriously at all, Mei always felt that there was a handle in Han Daring's hands, after all, she was still a little worried, so she was particularly attentive to what Han Daring wanted to do, and she was with the Holy Decree.

It's just that he mobilized people to ambush, and this matter was to deal with the Sanyang Sect, so he had to communicate with the hall director, so he took Han Da'er to find the hall director.

After the case of Zhenxian Guan was reported, the director of the hall was rewarded by the peak, and there was a possibility of promotion in the middle of the year, the director was in a good mood at this time, and after listening to Han Da'er's thoughts, Ben'er nodded and agreed without even playing.

Han Daring asked Mei Ben to prepare secretly in advance, and then went to find someone to spread the news that the treasure in the Zhenhe Stone Lion was born.

The dogs who mess around on the street every day spread the news the fastest, so he first went to find Nose, Hua Si'er, Little Head, Koukou and others. He knew where the Nose family lived, so he went to the House first.

When he saw that it was Han Daring'er, he was extremely enthusiastic, and Han Daring casually asked what was going on on Tianjin Wei Street during his absence, and whether there was any news of Sanyang Sect activities.

He also came to the spirit as soon as he was idle, and talked a lot about it, what the deputy director of the police department did to pack the outer house, what Uncle Zhou, who opened a gold shop, was hit by a snitch at home, what was haunted in the middle of the night in the West Building, someone set off a cannon to collapse the ghost, and what two gangs of pot gangs by the river were fighting, and as a result, they met a water ghost who came up from the river......

This big pile of messy gossip and lace news, Han Dada'er didn't get tired of hearing it, so he casually asked about Hua Si'er, Little Head, Open-mouthed and others.

Unexpectedly, I learned a news from the mouth of the nose that Hua Si'er was missing.

Hua Si'er has not been on the road since years ago, a few days ago the real fairy temple was smashed, the police raided the real fairy temple, and even the Taoist temple was picked, so lively, Hua Si'er didn't go to see it. This person likes to watch the excitement the most on weekdays, so the nose feels very abnormal.

Han Daring remembered that day in the alley, he noticed that someone was following, but later found out that it was Hua Si'er. And this kid said that he knew the whereabouts of the mask man and could find out the true identity of the mask man. Han Daring thought that this kid was short of money, so he gave them money casually, but as for checking the identity of the mask person, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

He was also a little worried at this time, if what Hua Si'er said was true, in case he was detected by the mask man, then with the mask man's ruthlessness, I am afraid that Hua Si'er would have to explain his life here, but now he can't find any trace of him, and there is nothing he can do.

In the next few days, Xiao Bi'er and a few people outside helped Han Da'er spread the news of Yucong.

The Han family's parents were not there, Han Daring tossed hard, and set up an ambush in the courtyard and room of the house, while Mei was able to take advantage of the director of the hall, with a lot of policemen, and guarded the Han family every night with loaded guns and ammunition, waiting for the people of the Sanyang Sect to take the bait.

But for three or four days in a row, he didn't even see the shadow of the Sanyang Sect, Han Daring was not shocked on the surface, but he also began to be anxious in his heart, thinking that the news had leaked out of the ambush at home, he turned his head to look at these policemen, there were detective bureaus, night patrols and reserves, could it be that after the last time the headquarters investigated the moles, there were still fish hiding in the net?

The Han family is buried here, but there is another thing in other places, just outside the old city, near the Beiying Gate, in a remote dead end, in a small bungalow, a dead body was found, but it was Hua Si'er, who had been dead for many days!
