For a moment, Yu Feibai speculated: "Could it be the famous Sui Hou Zhu?"
At this time, on the top of this space, there were only a few small lights arranged in an orderly manner, just like stars holding the moon, surrounding an orb. Under the background of the small lamp, the soft light of the orb reflects the entire space like daylight, and the light is not dazzling at all, making people feel comfortable and very magical.
Seeing this situation and hearing Mr. Hou say that this was a famous orb in history, Yu Feibai¡¯s first reaction was to think of the Sui Hou Pearl. There is no way. Among the many orbs in history, the Sui Hou Pearl is the most famous.
According to historical records, the pearl of the Sui lords and the jade of Bian He are both known as the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period. Needless to say, Bian He's jade is He's jade, which was later changed into the national jade seal, and its name has been passed down through the ages.
As for the Sui Marquis Pearl, it is also known as the Moon Pearl and the Spirit Snake Pearl. The bright moon bead means that the bead is like moonlight, its light is very clear and soft. The nickname of the Spirit Snake Pearl comes from a legend.
It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Broken Snake Hill in Suiguo. When traveling with the marquis, he saw a big snake beaten into two pieces. Seeing that the snake had some supernatural powers, he ordered his companions to treat it with medicine, and the snake became active immediately. A year later, the snake came to repay Suihou with a pearl in its title.
However, during the Warring States Period, the Sui State was destroyed by the Chu State, and the Sui Hou Pearl also fell into the hands of the King of Chu. But such good things did not stay in the Chu State for a long time. At that time, the Qin State dominated the world. In order to please the Qin State, the Chu State had to offer the things obediently.
Before Li Si, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, rose to prominence, he once wrote a letter to remonstrate and banish guests. The article once mentioned that the jade your Majesty sends to Kunshan today is the treasure of easygoing and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon
The treasure of ease and harmony here. In fact, it refers to Sui Hou Zhu and Heshi Bi. But it is a pity that He's Bi is not bad. At least it has been passed down to the Yuan Dynasty, and there are still traces to be found. But the whereabouts of Sui Houzhu were unknown after Qin Shihuang. Some people think that Sui Houzhu should have been buried with Qin Shihuang in order to replace the anointed candle for lighting in the tomb.
Of course, all this is just speculation, just like Yu Feibai is now. It is also speculated that the object is a Sui Hou bead. But whether it is right or not depends on what Mr. Hou says.
"This is not Sui Houzhu."
However, at this time, Mr. Hou shook his head and said: "It's the Shangqing Pearl!"
"Shangqingzhu? What the hell?"
When Yu Feibai heard this, he suddenly said in confusion: "Is there such a treasure in history?"
"You are really ignorant and incompetent." At this time. Mr. Qian couldn't help but criticize: "Even Shang Qingzhu doesn't know about it. I need to read more books in the future."
"oh."
Yu Feibai obeyed the instruction obediently, and then asked softly: "Wang Guan, do you know the Shangqing Pearl?"
¡°Obviously, he was unwilling to be criticized himself and wanted to drag Wang Guan into the water. In response, Wang Guan smiled lightly. He nodded and said: "Of course I know, this is something from the Tang Dynasty. Not only are the Shangqing beads, but there are also memory beads and dust-proof beads. These three things are known as the three major treasures of the Tang Dynasty."
"No."
Yu Feibai was startled: "I can understand the Bichen Pearl. But what about the Memory Bead and the Shangqing Pearl?"
"Speaking of memory beads, they are also somewhat magical."
At this time, Wang Guan smiled and explained: "It is said that during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Prime Minister Zhang at that time said that there was a bead. It was cyanotic and shiny, and as warm as jade. Maybe there was something forgotten. Just play with the bead and you will feel happy. Enlightenment, no matter how big or small, everything is clear and clear, and nothing is forgotten, so it is also called a memory bead."
"Is it really so mysterious?" Yu Feibai was somewhat doubtful: "Real or false"
"Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but beads are real."
At this time, Mr. Hou said with a smile: "Moreover, we think this may be a psychological suggestion. When playing with the orb, it is actually a process of calming down. When you are calm, some things will naturally become clear to you."
"Well, it's not impossible." Yu Feibai thought for a while and agreed: "After all, many things are like this. In the process of spreading, they can easily be exaggerated."
"As long as you understand."
Mr. Hou nodded, and then continued: "As for the Shangqing Pearl, it was given to his son Li Heng by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty."
"When Li Heng was a child, he was very popular with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He even once told people that this son is very different and that he will be a blessed emperor in our family one day. After praising him, he asked people to collect it from the royal treasury for collection. I personally wrapped the pure pearls in my treasure with crimson gauze, and then tied them around Li Heng¡¯s neck to increase good luck.¡±
While speaking, Mr. Hou sighed: "However, the emperors in ancient times were the most forgetful, which is the so-called lack of family ties in the Tian family."After Li Heng grew up, especially after he became the prince, there was a gap between father and son. Tang Xuanzong even wanted to depose the prince several times. However, during the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to abdicate, allowing Li Heng'ao to become the emperor. "
"However, the emperor Li Heng also had a hard time. He died six years after he took the throne. During these six years, the Anshi Rebellion was not over yet, and he died in an ignominious manner. He was the first eunuch in the Tang Dynasty to take charge of the military and cause trouble in the palace. Li Fuguo was scared to death."
Speaking of this, Mr. Hou shook his head: "The power struggle in the Tang Dynasty court was so bloody from the beginning to the end. It is Li Shimin's fault, who set a precedent for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and future generations will follow suit. It never calmed down"
"Let's not talk about the Tang Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, which dynasty has been polite in its power struggle? Even during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were still things like the sound of candle shadows and axes, foxes for princes, palace sieges, etc."
Yu Feibai said indifferently: "No matter in ancient or modern times, as long as power and interests are involved, the struggle is very dirty. Compared with the power struggle in the palace, I want to know the specific origin of this Shangqing Pearl. Why is it called Shangqing Pearl? And Why did it appear in the Tang Dynasty palace treasure house?"
"Historical records indicate that the Shangqing Pearl was a treasure presented by the Gubin Kingdom in the Western Regions."
At the same time, Mr. Hou explained: "If you stare at it for a long time, you will slowly feel that flying fairies, jade girls, and white cranes appear in the orb, shaking their bodies, as if they are in the fairyland of Shangqing, so they are called Shangqing Pearl." .¡±
"real or fake?"
When Yu Feibai heard this, he quickly looked up.
"It must be fake, stupid boy, I believe it, it's so easy to deceive."
At this time, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said: "At that time, this thing was enshrined in the Shangqing Palace in the palace, so it was simply called the Shangqing Pearl."
"ah¡¡"
For a moment, Yu Feibai was stunned, but he never expected that Mr. Hou would be fooled.
"That's why I said, read more books at ordinary times, so as not to be fooled by others in just a few words." Mr. Qian shook his head and chuckled: "You will gain wisdom after every mistake. Be smarter in the future and don't be so easily fooled."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Yu Feibai looked embarrassed. After a few words of internal criticism, he quickly changed the subject: "The top of the head is the Shangqing Pearl, so what is the thing underneath?"
This room is not too big, but it is not too small either. In addition to the clear beads inlaid on the top, there is also a table placed on the ground. There are also two boxes on the table, one long and one long.
At this time, Yu Feibai pointed at the box, not only to divert everyone's attention, but also a bit curious himself. It should not be easy to guess what is in the box. This is also the case. Mr. Hou walked over, opened a box and took out something. In an instant, a crystal clear luster suddenly appeared.
"What's this?"
Wang Guan and Yu Feibai quickly looked at it and saw something as thick as a thumb and round, like a small stick. However, the thing is not made of wood, but is similar to jade. It echoes the clear pearl light on the top and exudes a moist light.
"This is a whip, a nephrite whip."
While speaking, Mr. Hou broke his hands and saw that the round thing suddenly bent, and the head and tail were directly connected. Then he gently let go of one hand, only to see it bounce straight up and tremble slightly.
¡°A whip made of nephrite?¡±
For a moment, Wang Guan was a little surprised: "Is there really nephrite in the world?"
Of course, the nephrite here is not nephrite as opposed to jadeite, but soft jade. Generally speaking, the so-called nephrite refers to its physical properties. To measure the softness and hardness of jade, there is a Mohs coefficient. Jade with a Mohs coefficient higher than 6.5 can be called jadeite, and jade with a Mohs coefficient lower than 6.5 is called nephrite.
However, the nephrite that Hou Lao mentioned is obviously not nephrite according to the scientific definition, but nephrite that is truly as soft as a spring, can be bent and straightened at will, and is soft but strong.
¡°It¡¯s said to be nephrite, which is actually a bit untrue, but it also contains elements of jade.¡±
At this time, Mr. Hou smiled and said: "According to our research, this nephrite whip should actually be a mixture of jade and resin. It should be that a long time ago, some jade powder was mixed with some kind of resin. After thousands of years of evolution, although amber did not form, some mutations occurred and it became nephrite."
"Ah, that's it."
After telling the truth, Yu Feibai's interest was still undiminished. He took the nephrite whip from Mr. Hou's hand and played with it carefully for a few minutes before giving up. Then he looked at another box and asked, "What kind of treasure is there?"
"Same thing." Hou LaoxiaoSaid: "But this one is almost formed into amber."
As he spoke, Mr. Hou also opened another box. Wang Guan and others quickly looked at it and saw that there was also something similar to a whip in the box. But the appearance of this whip is much more exquisite. Someone painted and carved the shape of a lin, a phoenix, a turtle, and a dragon on the whip. It shines even more under the light, making it very gorgeous and beautiful.
"This is the whip!"
At the right time, Hou Laojie said: "Although the texture is not as soft as the nephrite whip, it is more crystal clear and has better purity. Anyway, both whips are treasures of the ancient palace and can be regarded as rare treasures."
Others think so, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, such things are rare.
However, Yu Feibai still couldn't change his character of liking the new and hating the old. After visiting a few treasures, he found that there were no other treasures in the room, and immediately urged Mr. Hou to move forward.
After a while, everyone continued to go deeper and slowly came to a spacious space. Naturally, there were treasures here
