Unparalleled Treasures

Old Wu held the luminous bead, and after five or six minutes, he tried it clearly.

Although the light of this bead is not very bright, it does not seem to be very strong, but it is really like the fifteenth moon, the sky is big and the earth is big, although the moonlight is not strong, it can shine everywhere and be seen!

"Nephew, turn on the light again!" Old Wu tried to understand what he wanted to know, and then said to Zhang Jiye again, asking him to turn on the light.

As soon as the light was turned on, the strong light came on, and the bead returned to its original shape under the strong light. It could not be seen that it was glowing, but after the test just now, everyone knew that the bead was glowing.

Old Wu was obviously too excited, and asked Zhang Can again with a trembling voice: "Zhang Can, you... what do you think is this?"

Hearing Lao Wu's tone and looking at his expression, Zhang Can guessed that Lao Wu might have recognized what it was, but he didn't dare to confirm it, and he still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked him first and looked at him. think what.

However, although Old Wu had doubts, he still believed 200% of the time in his heart, and since Zhang Can surpassed him and recognized the treasure inside the snake sculpture, it meant that he already knew what was inside, otherwise how could he? Will you throw [-] million to buy this thing that is not worth that much money without hesitation?

Zhang Can saw that everyone was looking at him, the bewildered father, brother, sister, Su Xue who believed in him even though he was puzzled, and the bewildered old Wu, Zhang Can smiled and spread his hands : "Old Wu, do you think this is a random bead?"

"..."

Old Wu couldn't help gasping for breath, and after being dazed for a long time, he murmured: "Is it really Suizhu?"

"What is Suizhu?"

Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua, and Su Xue don't understand what Suizhu is, and they seem to have never heard of the name "Suizhu", but according to the name, it is just a bead. Is a house expensive?

Zhang Can himself is not very clear about this matter, he is just the result of spiritual energy analysis, so when Zhang Hua asked, he pointed at Old Wu and smiled, "Let Old Wu talk about it!"

Old Wu sighed, of course the expression was not regretful, but really unexpected, and then said: "There are different opinions on this Suizhu, and there is no certainty. According to ancient people, most of them are pearls. The book "Taiping Yulan" written in the Song Dynasty It was said in "The Bright Moon of the Sui Dynasty that it came out of the clam mirage", and in the "Zou Yang Biography" of the Han Dynasty, it was also said that "the pearl of the bright moon is hidden in the clam, and the clam mirage ambush it", but modern scholars believe that It is fluorite, and today some scholars analyze and study Sui beads recorded in history, and find it difficult to explain it with the old theory..."

"Uncle Wu, come, let's have a sip of tea before we talk..." Zhang Hua was obedient, seeing that Old Wu was speaking dryly, he quickly poured him a cup of tea.

Old Wu smiled to express his gratitude, then took a few sips from his teacup, his mouth was really dry.

"This Suizhu is also called the 'Pearl of Suihou'. It is a pearl as famous as Heshi's Bibi. Later generations used the Suihou's Pearl and Heshibi to describe those peerless treasures. , there was a Marquis of the Sui Dynasty, a feudal lord with the surname Ji, who occasionally saw a big snake seriously injured by the river, and immediately treated the wound with medicine. After the big snake recovered from the wound, he took a pearl from the river to repay his kindness. There is the light of the bright moon, an unrivaled treasure, but it has always been just a legend, and there are many historical records, but there has never been any evidence, and no one has seen it!"

Although Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua, and Su Xue had never heard of this Suihou Zhu, they knew about He's Bi. There was a story about He's Bi in elementary school books, and He's Bi was the most precious in Chinese history. One of the most precious treasures, it is a national treasure that many dynasties competed for in ancient times. I have heard a lot, so Lao Wu compared Sui Houzhu with Heshibi, which is enough to imagine the preciousness of that bead.

However, the glowing bead that Old Wu is holding in his hand is the Sui Hou bead he was talking about?A Suihou pearl that can be as famous as Heshibi?How much is this worth?

Old Wu talked excitedly, and took another sip of tea, which contained a few pieces of tea leaves, but Old Wu didn't spit it out, chewed it in his mouth, swallowed it immediately, and then started talking again.

"Some scholars today went to Broken Snake Hill for on-the-spot exploration, and found that it did not match what was recorded in ancient books. Broken Snake Hill is far away from the current lake water. Due to the natural movement of the earth's crust, the river channel changes, which cannot be found in this area. There are traces of Suizhu, and in the area of ​​Sui County, Hubei today, the river current is turbulent, mountain torrents often occur, the water is turbid and the temperature is low, which is not suitable for the growth of pearl mussels, and it is even more difficult to grow Suizhu as large as an egg. Inspired by the change of Zhashui’s old course, the exploration scholars went deeper into the foothills of Dahong Mountain, and found a large amount of kimberlite in the mountains around Zhongxiang Jiuhuazhai, which gave them the understanding that Suizhu is the highest gem grade diamond. It is speculated that because Kimberlite is a kind of alkaline ultrabasic rock without feldspar in the matrix, it is the main parent rock of primary diamond mines, so the Kimberley region in South Africa got its name, and the Suizhu recorded in ancient books is, "Pearls are full of inches, pure white, bright at night, like the moonlight, can be used as a candle room." Among diamonds, only gem-quality diamonds with curved surface crystals are likely to shine, and they are the highest-grade gemstones that are rare in the world. , but whether the Suizhu is a clam pearl night pearl or a curved diamond gemstone, scholars today have their own debates, there is no certainty, just because no one has seen the entity, so it is impossible to confirm!"

When Lao Wu said this, he stared at the bead in his hand, still surprised, amazed, curious and excited. Although he guessed, he was not sure. Zhang Can asked him to tell him, but he was only talking about the legend of the bead. , he naturally knew.

"Xiao Zhang, tell me, what is the origin of this bead?" Old Wu asked Zhang Can again.

Zhang Can smiled, and said casually: "I guess this bead is a random bead. Of course, I'm not sure, but if you measure it by the standard of night pearls, the light color of this bead is moonlight, which belongs to the most beautiful bead." Excellent chromaticity, and the light color is far away, which is even more rare. In addition, the general luminous fluorite must first absorb heat and light source before it can emit light, and this bead is sealed in the shell of the snake sculpture. It cannot absorb light sources such as heat and sunlight, and it does not heat up after emitting light. From this, it can be confirmed that it is self-luminous, and does not need to absorb energy sources to emit light. This is the most rare pearl, hehe , even if it is not the accompanying bead passed down from ancient times, it is still a rare treasure in the world!"

Old Wu repeatedly nodded and said yes: "Yes, yes, yes, even if this bead is not a random bead, but measured by the standard of Ye Mingzhu, it belongs to the highest level, but whether it is a diamond or not depends on the quality of the bead." It is only known through laboratory testing, but if it is a diamond, it is too rare, and such a large diamond is even rarer in the world!"

Having said this, Old Wu glanced away and saw the snake sculpture that Zhang Can smashed, his face changed again, and then he remembered what happened before, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "This... ...It is really possible that it is Suizhu. Look at this snake carving. The carving technique is so superb that it is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people. To carve an ordinary jade flower with so much effort, it is originally There is a special reason, and this snake sculpture seems to be a metaphor for the legend that the Suizhu is the 'Spirit Snake Orb', which was obtained by a big snake..."

"Then..." Zhang Jiye stammered and asked, "Uncle Wu, this...is this bead a treasure? How much is it worth?"

It's not that Zhang Jiye is greedy, but he is a countryman with little culture. The value of treasures that he can't imagine is usually measured by how much they are worth. This is just a question.

Old Wu shook his head and said, "This can't be measured by money. This is a national treasure, and its value is immeasurable. If you really want to compare it with a price, I think...even a few hundred million, four hundred million, five hundred million [-] million, that is also unsalable!"

Lao Wu's explanation immediately made everyone understand the value of this bead, but they were all surprised. Just now they thought it was a pity that Zhang Can spent 200 million to buy such a worthless snake carving, but at this time Zhang Can Be amazed by the jackpot!

Old Wu sighed for a while, then remembered again, and quickly asked Zhang Can: "Zhang Can, how did you see this thing? I can't think of it, unless my eyes can see through it!"

Zhang Can couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Old Wu, but seeing that Old Wu's face was only amazed and excited, without any doubts about him, he understood that the "eyes that can see through" that Old Wu said was just like this. He said that it wasn't that he was suspicious of him, and he didn't even think about that matter in his heart.

"Hehe, Lao Wu, I was actually guessing wildly, mainly because I saw that Dong Hao's box containing these two items was simple and exquisite. I think his ancestors knew the value of these two items, but the pearls The secret may have been lost. I was taking a gamble at the time. Anyway, that piece of blue and white porcelain could earn millions. Thinking about Dong Hao’s lack of money, I might as well just take a gamble. If you earn 200 million less, you won’t lose anything, if you win the bet, you will earn it back, but I really didn’t expect such a big secret hidden in it at the time, I really didn’t expect..."

Old Wu also nodded. Indeed, according to Zhang Can's idea, it is also possible. The blue and white porcelain can indeed make up for the loss of 200 million. Besides, according to Zhang Can's idea, it is feasible, but ...

After thinking for a while, Old Wu smiled wryly again: "Zhang Can, although you have won this bet, most people don't dare to make such a bet. Who dares to take something worth 200 million and smash it into pieces like this? Hehe, It's only you, so I said, good luck, in fact, it depends on the person!"
