Chapter 1016 Treasure Unearthed (33)

less than half an hour

The news that the baby was found in the lower reaches of the Tapang River spread throughout the village.

Not only the villagers ran to watch the fun, but even the tourists rushed over.

After a while, the entire downstream river beach was crowded with crowds of onlookers.

At this time, an excavator was working on the river beach. It was a construction machine for cleaning up silt. Every three to five years, the county would clean up the river.

No, just after clearing out of the village, there was an unexpected discovery.

After Zhang Feng and others rushed to the scene, they saw that a cordon had been pulled up on the river beach, and there were seven or eight staff members standing beside them to prevent tourists and villagers from getting too close.

"What it is??"

Everyone stood on the periphery and looked into the river, only to see a group of black cylindrical things exposed, some fossils of trees.

"Xiaofeng, do you think it's a tree jade?" Everyone knew that Zhang Feng was lucky enough to pick up a piece of tree jade not long ago, so everyone looked at him.

"It shouldn't be tree jade, I think it might be ebony!"

"Ebony? What is ebony??" Ah Hong asked with a puzzled expression.

Ebony is not a wood name.It is formed by the carbonization process of Nanmu, red toon, hemp willow and other trees buried in the mud due to natural disasters, under the condition of hypoxia and high pressure, after tens of thousands of years of carbonization, so it is also called "carbonized wood".

Moreover, the original identities of ebony may be different.Moreover, the formation time of general ebony is about 3000 to 8000 years, which is not enough to become a plant fossil.

The precipitation of thousands of years does not happen overnight, so the plastic of ebony is also extremely rare.

It has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone, and is known as "Oriental godwood" and "plant mummy".Therefore, there is a saying that "even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as ebony".The most primitive wood of ebony also has high and low points, and the prices of different types of wood after thousands of years of precipitation are also different. Among them, the price of golden nanmu is the most expensive.

"It turns out that this is ebony, but what can this black thing do?" In Ah Hong's opinion, this thing should be useless after being soaked in water for thousands of years!

"Hehe, ebony has many uses. It can be used not only to make furniture, but also to make high-end handicrafts!" Zhang Feng explained to everyone with a smile.

Ebony is hard in nature, mostly brownish black, black red, golden, yellowish brown, etc.Its cutting surface is smooth, its wood grain is fine, and it can be polished to mirror brightness. Some ebony wood is better than red sandalwood.It never fades, does not decay, and does not live in insects. It is an ideal material for making artworks and antique furniture.

Archaeologists have deciphered the mystery of a large number of large ivory unearthed in Sanxingdui by restoring the living environment at that time through Sanxing ebony.Some natural shaped ebony artworks are of great collection value.

as predicted,

After two or three hours of excavation, a huge ebony tree appeared in front of everyone.

This ebony is really too big, with a diameter of more than two meters and a length of seventeen or eight meters. Such a big ebony weighs dozens of tons.

Just then, experts from the reserve finally arrived.

Seeing such a big piece of ebony, even they were shocked. The most important thing is that this is not an ordinary ebony, but the most precious golden nanmu among ebony,
Just such a piece of ebony, a few years ago, would have been worth tens of millions. Even now, the price of ebony ebony is not low. It can be sold for 200 to [-] yuan per ton. tons, its value is as high as millions, and the market can even sell for more than [-] million.

When encountering such an ebony, not only the experts were overjoyed, but the local leaders were even more delighted.

The Dinosaur Fossil Museum in the county has just been completed, and there is a shortage of exhibits. Now this giant ebony is really discovered in time.

"Xiaofeng, didn't you just say that there are many kinds of ebony, so which kind does this ebony belong to?" Uncle Er Niu stared at the ebony not far away, and then asked Zhang Feng.

"This should be golden nanmu. Look over there. Is it like golden nanmu? It has golden wood. This kind of ebony is the most precious. Just one piece is worth at least a million!"

"hiss!!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect a piece of wood to be so valuable.

Seeing everyone's horrified looks, Zhang Feng smiled and continued: "Hehe, what is this? If five or six years ago, such a piece of wood would be worth more than ten times!"

"Ten times??" Uncle Seven looked up at Zhang Feng in surprise, "Isn't that going to be tens of millions?"

"Of course, there is a saying in the collection circle that 'even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as ebony'. From this, we know how precious ebony is!" Zhang Feng smiled slightly.

"Fuck, what's so good about this wood, can I buy it to make a coffin?" Uncle Seven said enviously.

Haha ...

Hearing Xiao Qishu's words, everyone couldn't help laughing. Everyone has the mentality of hating the rich, because they can't afford it, so they can scold them whatever they want.

"Hehe, don't tell me, someone really bought it to make a coffin," at this moment the old man walked over with a smile.

"Hello, old man..." Everyone greeted old man Liu one after another.

The old man nodded and continued: "Throughout the ages, from the emperor's relatives, to scholars, experts, mass manufacturers, etc., there is no one who does not praise nanmu as a domestic precious wood. Because golden nanmu is resistant to corrosion and insects, it is not easy to deform, and its texture is fine and magnificent. , so the emperor's coffin is mostly made of golden nanmu, everyone knows about the Empress Dowager Cixi?"

Seeing everyone nodding, the old man smiled and continued:

"According to historical records, Sun Dianying robbed the tomb of Cixi and stole a lot of rare treasures, containing forty or fifty boxes of treasures. Under her coffin, three layers of gold silk beaded brocade mattresses and a layer of pearls were laid flat under her coffin, and the coffin was filled with pearls. Four liters, 2000 pieces of gemstones, and various carved fruits and vegetables on the soles of the feet. The most amazing thing is that Cixi has been dead for nearly 20 years, but the body is still red and lifelike, without any trace of decay. "

In order to get the treasures in Cixi's coffin, Sun Dianying ordered someone to pry open Cixi's coffin. Cixi's body was moved out, and Cixi's body was exposed outside the coffin for more than 40 days, with white hair growing on the body.

Why did Cixi's body not rot after more than 20 years of death, and after being dragged out for dozens of days, her body was covered with white hairs. It turns out that the problem lies in Cixi's coffin. Only emperors and princes can sleep in the coffin—golden silk Phoebe.

"Golden nanmu really has such an effect?" Uncle Er Niu asked quickly.The others also looked at the old man curiously.

"Haha, golden nanmu must have anti-corrosion effect, but to keep the corpse from rotting for decades, there must be more anti-corrosion technology. The coffin of golden nanmu alone should not be able to do it!" The old man smiled Shake your head.

Everyone felt that their posture was raised, but they didn't expect Jinsinan to have such a role, no wonder it is so precious.
