    Dean Sima sneered at this: "Old Du, please stop thinking nonsense. Let's not say that it is just a legend. There are many flaws in it. Let's just say there are no gods in this world!" Du Yile retorted:  "Since there are no gods, how could such a magical sword be made with the technology of the Qin Dynasty?" Dean Sima said: "What's the point? At that time, it was not long before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when a hundred schools of thought contended.  , some technologies that seem incredible now have not completely disappeared, and it is normal to produce such sharp tools. As for us now, it is because the current technology has not developed to that level. It will take a few years.  With the development of science and technology, such problems will be easily solved." Du Yile smiled and shook his head: "Anyway, I think it is quite incredible that today's technology has not reached the level of more than two thousand years ago.  "Yu Renpeng also stood on the side of Dean Sima and said tiredly: "You can't say that. If the technology was so advanced at that time, why couldn't they make some of our current machines and equipment?  After all, it's just a few special cases." Chu Chen chuckled and said, "This matter is nothing to argue about. It happened thousands of years ago. We don't have the ability to go back to the past. Who knows what happened back then?  I also thought it was aliens who visited our planet and brought technology.¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone laughed. Just like what Chu Chen said, we can study the past and trace some historical mysteries.  It's a waste of energy after all, of course.  If you like research, then don¡¯t talk about it.  "By the way, there is another question. How to deal with the water sucked up?" Du Yile asked.  When Yu Renpeng and Dean Sima heard this question, they were a little confused at first.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "I think it should have flowed from the hilt. However, the hilt of this sword is wrapped in a layer of iron sheet. It needs to be checked with equipment and then taken out properly." Everyone  Everyone agreed with this, and Dean Sima quickly said: "Director Chu. The equipment at my place is very advanced. Do you want to take Chi Xiao to my place for testing?" "Exactly!" Du Yile sneered: "  Your equipment is advanced, isn¡¯t mine? And I have several newly imported instruments. You don¡¯t have them over there, right?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Dean Sima choked at this.  Only then did he remember that Chu Chen was a big boss with background and money.  Now the equipment in this laboratory.  They are all built according to the world's top standards. Compared with this, the equipment over there is completely like Guan Gong's trick!  Seeing the dejected look of Dean Sima, everyone smiled and felt happy in their hearts.  I have to say that Dean Sima is quite a good person, but he keeps trying to get things into the Forbidden City, which is really unbearable for everyone.  Of course, he did this entirely for the sake of public service.  It¡¯s hard to say that everyone is disgusted with it.  Next, everyone chatted for a few more words. Seeing that the magic weapon in front of them was out of their hands, Dean Sima could only reluctantly turn the topic to the national jade seal.  We discussed the details, drafted and signed a formal agreement, and planned to wait until the museum closed before transferring the national treasure.  After signing his name on the agreement, Dean Sima showed a happy smile. He said to Chu Chen with a smile on his face: "Director Chu, I heard that you are going to travel to southern Yunnan?" Chu Chen nodded and said: "  Yes, we are going to leave the day after tomorrow. You don¡¯t want me to bring something, do you?¡± Dean Sima laughed: ¡°Haha, the mushrooms over there taste quite good, I really want you to help bring some.  Come back." Chu Chen said: "You are talking about chicken mushrooms, right? No problem, I will bring you a few kilograms back. Is there anything else?"  "How do you know I have something else to do?" Dean Sima asked with a smile.  "Hey, if you don't know why, you won't just let me bring some chicken mushrooms, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile.  "Why not?" Dean Sima said seriously. Seeing that Chu Chen was a little dumbfounded, he smiled teasingly and said, "Let's get down to business. I have some clues about Luanjiao." "What? What else?"  Is there really such a thing as Luanjiao?" Not only Chu Chen, but also everyone else was surprised when they heard that this was the case.  Dean Sima waved his hand: "I just got some clues about this matter. One of my friends said that he once talked about this legendary thing when he was chatting with one of his friends. According to the other party, it was him  My ancestor had obtained this kind of glue, but what happened, my friend just thought he was bragging and didn¡¯t ask much. " Chu Chen immediately asked.Asked: "That friend of yours is in southern Yunnan?" Dean Sima replied: "Yes, he lives in Chuncheng." "Well, I will definitely visit him when I get to southern Yunnan." Anyway, since there is  He got a clue and happened to be on the way, so Chu Chen had to go take a look no matter what.  "This is his address. Before you go, you give him a call and tell him that I introduced him, and he will know. But don't worry, he has been traveling to England recently, and he probably needs another one.  He won't be back until next week. You can travel first and then go find him when you return to Spring City." With that said, Dean Sima handed a note to Chu Chen.  "Okay, I understand, thank you"  The next day, it started to rain lightly, and the heat also dissipated.  Since Chu Chen had promised the old man to help him identify things, after breakfast, he said goodbye to his family and went to the antique shop alone.  Before going, Chu Chen called the museum and asked about the number of tourists today.  The reality is similar to what he thought yesterday. The number of tourists has dropped significantly, but even so, there are still more people queuing up on site, but it is not that crowded anymore, and there is no need to restrict passenger flow.  If the passenger flow suddenly plummets, Chu Chen will definitely be a little anxious. With this result, he is quite satisfied.   After parking the car, Chu Chen walked to the antique shop.  When I arrived at the door, I happened to meet the old man from the day before yesterday walking over.  The old man¡¯s name was Du Zhonglin, after he greeted Chu Chen.  He said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Chu, I'm really sorry for asking you to come here so early." Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, when you called me, I was already on the way. Let's go.  , let's go in and talk." "Okay" Chu Chen said hello to Zhou Wenping, the others, and the guests in the store, while leading Du Zhonglin to the reception room.  At this time.  A guest suddenly spoke up and asked Chu Chen to wait.  The guest said with a bright smile: "Teacher Chu, can you please give me some advice?" The guest who spoke was named Qi.  He is a frequent visitor to Chu Chen's antique store, and the total he has bought is over ten or two hundred thousand. Although the items in Chu Chen's store are not cheap, he just wants peace of mind.  In his words.  As long as it is genuine, it will definitely make money in a year or two.  Chu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, what advice do you want me to give you?" Mr. Yuan pointed to the two antiques next to him and said, "That's what it is. As for me, I'm attracted to these two things.  , but the sum of these two things exceeds my budget. I can't make up my mind about one of them, so I would like to ask for your opinion." Chu Chen looked at the two things he pointed at.  One is a seated statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva carved from hibiscus stone, and the other is a Buddhist niche carved from red sandalwood.  Speaking of which, there are different opinions on the essence of hibiscus jade or hibiscus stone. Some say it is crystal, and some say it is Lantian jade.  In the market, hibiscus has become a commodity symbol, representing a bunch of jade products in hibiscus color (usually pink series), including pink quartz, pink agate, pink blue field jade, and even pink Dushan jade, etc.  It seems that any pink jade can be named hibiscus.  These concepts are often blurred by some unscrupulous merchants, so buyers must be sure before purchasing. You must know that the prices of different varieties vary greatly.  For example, jade grown in hibiscus is much more expensive than hibiscus stone.  As for how to distinguish, it must be based on the name on the standardized identification certificate.  The hibiscus stone here in Chuchen is pink quartz, which is a kind of dense quartz that is rose red or rose red and very enviable. It is also called "rose quartz", "rose quartz", "hibiscus jade" and "Xiangnan jade"  , a kind of quartz stone.  Generally speaking, it is difficult to find the best quality rose quartz, and the price on the market is not very expensive.  But the rose quartz used in the statue in front of me has strong luster, good transparency, starlight effect, and large size, with a height of 31 centimeters. It can be called the best among rose quartz. It can be said that it is rare to find but not to be found.  The material is good and the carving is very good. The Guanyin statue looks kind and lifelike, no worse than the craftsmen of the palace building office during the Qianlong period.  Of course, from a specific point of view, this Buddha statue was made a little later. Chu Chen believes that it should be in the late Qing Dynasty.  The other Buddhist niche is an authentic masterpiece of the palace building office during the Qianlong period. Not only is the entire body made of high-quality red sandalwood, the texture is exquisite and beautiful, but the carving pays attention to layout and perspective. The carvings are exquisite and clear, with a strong three-dimensional effect.  The sharpness of the sword should come from the hands of skilled craftsmen in Rongzhou.  The whole Buddhist niche can be said to be strict and grand.It is majestic and solemn, with gold embroidery on the corners to add to the aura of wealth. It is indeed a fine product of the Qianlong palace. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty described it as an important instrument for worshiping and respecting Buddha.  ¡°One is a high-quality product from the palace manufacturing office, the other is made of the best materials and is made by a skilled craftsman. The value is almost the same. They are both very rare artifacts.  For those who like them all, it¡¯s really easy to be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing one.  Chu Chen looked at these two things and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, which one do you like better?" Mr. Yuan chuckled: "I like both of them very much and want to take them home.  Chu Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you just buy them all back?" Mr. Yuan said, "Didn't I just buy a house? If I buy both, the funds will be a little tight, so I want to ask you.  "Help me choose." "I would say, these two things are very good. It's really difficult to choose one of them!" Chu Chen seemed a little embarrassed. When choosing one of the two, he had to point out one of them.  Disadvantages, which seller would do this kind of thing?  Seeing this, Mr. Yuan quickly said: "Mr. Chu, I also know that this matter is a bit presumptuous. Don't worry, I will definitely buy the remaining one when I raise some money in a month or two." Chu Chen  Considering that Mr. Yuan is an old customer.  He nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's put it this way. If I were you, I would probably choose this Buddhist niche." "Why?" Mr. Yuan asked.  Chu Chen explained: "Look, this Buddhist niche has an opposite door. The front is embossed with a crane and a deer with spring patterns. The crane is a fairy bird and the deer is an auspicious beast. This symbolizes the peace of the country and the people, and the good luck of the government and people. The brocade ground on the back  The high-relief carving depicts a couplet of "The swallow's wings are lifted up, feeling the frost and dew, and the horse is flying and the dragon is worshiping, and the crown and clothes are elegantly gathered" to wish prosperity and happiness to the descendants. " "This Buddhist niche represents such auspiciousness. You have bought a new house.  Isn¡¯t that right!¡± Chu Chen¡¯s explanation not only avoided pointing out the shortcomings of the other Guanyin statue, but also made Mr. Yuan¡¯s face light up.  He said: "Then I will choose this Buddhist niche. In addition, thank you, Teacher Chu, for your kind words!" Chu Chen laughed, said politely, and then brought Du Zhonglin to the reception room and made him a cup.  Tea Du Zhonglin said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, can I ask you how to identify hibiscus stone?" "No problem." Chu Chen explained: "Generally speaking, because natural rose quartz is naturally generated from the earth,  Most crystals usually have defects such as inclusions, natural ice cracks, clouds, and color band changes, while artificial rose quartz is synthesized and condensed in factories or laboratories. The crystals produced are almost flawless. This is the difference between artificial and artificial.  A way to use natural rose quartz." Du Zhonglin heard this.  He quickly asked: "Are there no exceptions? I think the Guanyin statue just now looks very transparent." Chu Chen shook his head: "It is very rare to see the pink quartz used in the statue just now, and if you look carefully  If you look at it, you can actually see the flaws. Let me put it this way, it is basically impossible for natural rose quartz to be flawless.¡± Du Zhonglin¡¯s lips couldn¡¯t help but tremble after hearing this.  Chu Chen hurriedly asked: "Are you okay?" Du Zhonglin waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you can go on." "Okay." Chu Chen continued: "In addition, pure natural pink crystal feels cool and weighty.  . Synthetic crystals are soft to the touch and light in weight. What¡¯s more, artificial secondary synthetic crystals are the most popular on the market now. Therefore, we should pay attention to whether it comes with a national identification certificate when purchasing to prevent counterfeit products.¡±  After explaining, Du Zhonglin looked very sad. He took out a box from the cloth bag, pushed it in front of Chu Chen, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Chu, then the material I use for this thing should be synthetic rose quartz, right?" From  Judging from Du Zhonglin's performance just now, Chu Chen knew that he should buy a synthetic rose quartz work. When he opened the box and took a look, the rose quartz jewelry on the surface was as transparent as glass. It was definitely not made of natural rose quartz.  Done.  Chu Chen put the things back and said: "It is indeed not natural pink quartz." "Hey!" Du Zhonglin often sighed, and after a while, he said in frustration: "Teacher Chu, please help me take a look at this  Something." After saying that, he took out a rather large brocade box and carefully took out a plum vase from Longquan kiln.  Chu Chen took a closer look and his expression suddenly became solemn. He took the bottle in his hand and at a glance, he felt that it should be a plum vase fired at Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty, which was very rare.  Why?  This is because the porcelain fired in the Yuan Dynasty was mostly large and exquisite.Utensils are quite rare, and this Yuan Longquan kiln celadon-glazed iron-spotted octagonal plum vase with an exposed body mold stamped with a gold picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is extremely rare in terms of shape, glaze color, pattern, and unique exposed body craftsmanship.  It is said to be a treasure of the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty.  What is particularly worth noting is that plum vase, as a highly practical and ornamental vessel, is rarely seen in the Longquan kilns of the Yuan Dynasty. What¡¯s more, the body of this lot is made of eight pieces of porcelain body, and the firing process is far behind.  The production is much more complicated than that of billowing, and it is decorated with stamping and gold techniques, and is rich in Taoist colors, making it even more rare.  Looking at this plum vase, the shoulders of the vase are stenciled with the Ruyi Cloud Head Bagua pattern, the shoulder corners are decorated with iron spots, the belly of the vase is exposed, and there are eight groups of consecrations. The eight immortals patterns are stenciled in high relief inside the consecration, and the feet of the immortals are floating on the sea.  The figures are vivid in shape and the decorations are clear, especially the remaining gold decorations, which are extremely rare.  Eight groups of flowers with broken branches are stenciled on the neck of the bottle.  The celadon glaze applied to the entire vessel is thick, making it a rare masterpiece from the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty.  "But when Chu Chen took a closer look at the figures of the Eight Immortals on the plum vase, he was greatly disappointed. Even if he didn't read the vase carefully, he was already sure that it was a fake.  Du Zhonglin stared closely at the expression on Chu Chen's face, and when he saw the disappointment flashing in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little "thump" in his heart, and he quickly asked, tongue-tied: "Mr. Chu, is there something wrong with this thing of mine?  " Chu Chen sighed secretly. He did not answer directly and asked: "Old sir, do you know who the Eight Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are? " Du Zhonglin asked strangely: "Isn't that Han Zhongli?  , Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Tieguaili, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe and Cao Guoshu? "What's wrong" Chu Chen shook his head and explained: "Yuan Dynasty  The Eight Immortals are actually not these eight" "Among them, "Water Fairy" at the end of the fourth chapter of Ma Zhiyuan's Yuan Dynasty drama "Lu Dongbin Three Drunks at Yueyang Tower" introduces the Eight Immortals in Lu Dongbin's tone: "The first one is Han  Zhongli Quan is now in charge of a group of immortals; this one is Tieguai Li, with his hair combed wildly; this one is Lan Caihe, with Yunyang wood removed; this one is Zhang Guolao, riding a donkey on Zhaozhou Bridge; this one is  This is Xu Shenweng, carrying a gourd on his back; this one is Han Xiangzi, Han Yu's nephew; this one is Cao Guojiu, a descendant of the Song Dynasty; and I am Lu Chunyang, the Jianzi Yugu who loves to play. " The above-mentioned eight immortals are all male, and there is no one.  He Xiangu among the eight immortals is said to have an additional Xu Shenweng.  (To be continued) Chapter 1011 Luanjiao¡¯s clues:
