Although Chen Jing felt that the two clues given by Sui Hou Zhu's whereabouts were unlikely to point to their specific location.

But people cannot always believe in empiricism. After all, everything has exceptions. What if you look for Sui Houzhu this time, it is an exception?

Besides, even if it is not an exception, Chen Jing's interpretation and inference of the clue of "Dragon Zi Repays Jun's kindness" really thinks that it may be the place called "Broken Snake Hill".

In other words, the 'Broken Snake Hill' should be related to further clues in any case.

Of course, Chen Jing is not completely sure about this now, so he just remembers it in his heart and continues to review other relevant documentary records and materials.

As I said just now, there are many historical documents about Sui Houzhu, and in fact there are also records and descriptions of its shape.

There is a description of Suhouzhu in "Soushen Ji", which says: "The diameter is full of inches, pure white and luminous, and can be a candle room." The meaning of this description is easy to understand, roughly speaking, Suhouzhu is pure white and luminous, and the brightness can illuminate the entire room.

Similar records about Sui Hou Zhu's ability to shine at night include Zhang Heng's "Fu of Xijing": "The night light is hanging in the Li Li, and Sui Zhu thinks it is a candle."

The "Fu of Xijing" written by Zhang Heng made Chen Jing read it for a while, because when he was searching for Xuan Li before, he also found this document record, and he couldn't help but feel a little amazed. Zhang Heng was indeed a strange man.

Looking back, although Zhang Heng’s description of Sui Houzhu is not detailed, the meaning in his words is also that Sui Houzhu can emit luminous light, but the brightness is not low.

From this, Chen Jing also came up with the first useful information, that is, Su Houzhu can emit luminous light and the brightness is very high.

Immediately, he continued to read other related documents.

The book "Huainanzi" written by the Western Han Dynasty says: "Suihou Zhu and Bian He Bi, those who get it are rich, and those who lose it are poor." Then this record has some mythological and legendary colors, which means that those who can Suihou Zhu can be rich, and if they lose it, they will become poor.

Speaking of which, Sui Houzhu does have similar legends. "If you get rich, you can compete with a country." This means Sui Houzhu. This wealth can compete with a country, one refers to the value of Sui Houzhu, and the other means it has the color of myths and legends.

After reading some documentary records about Sui Houzhu, Chen Jing became interested in the academic debate about what kind of treasure Sui Houzhu was.

Because Sui Houzhu has been left behind for many years, and the serious history has not explained what kind of treasure Sui Houzhu is in the documentary records, there are still many debates in the academic community, and this situation is a bit similar to the situation of the green, and there are many statements in the academic community.

Sui Houzhu has four relatively mainstream statements.

The first statement is that Pearl says.

Scholars who support this statement feel that according to this sentence in "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Gui Ce": "The pearl of the bright moon comes from the rivers and seas and is hidden in the clams", they believe that Suihou Zhu is a pearl.

But this statement also has two fatal flaws. One is freshwater pearls, which are not too large in size. The other is that the pearl is calcium carbonate, which is easy to decompose and cannot be passed down for more than a hundred years, let alone for thousands of years.

The second theory is the material bead theory.

The basis for scholars supporting this statement is that more than 100 beads were unearthed in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Suizhou, with the largest diameter of 2.3 cm, so some people think it was the beads of Sui Hou.

But in fact, this statement is also fatal to confirm, because they believe that Suihouzhu is just naturally produced volcanic glass or glazed glass. It is clearly mentioned in some relevant documentary records that Suiguo was already good at firing glass beads during the Warring States Period. It was a very normal period when the actual glass beads from the Warring States Period were unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi, and it was impossible that it was the legendary Suihouzhu.

The third theory is the diamond theory.

Scholars who support this statement believe that Suihouzhu is the main basis for diamond because diamond crystals are mostly bead spherical, colorless and transparent, and have a strong luster.

However, the persuasiveness of this statement is still not strong and sufficient. Although diamonds are sunburned in sunlight, different colors of phosphorescence can be seen in the dark room, and the size of diamonds is so large.

The fourth statement is the fluorite theory.

This is also a statement that more scholars support, and his basis is not as fancy as the first three statements. It is simply because fluorite is produced in the northern part of Suizhou. Secondly, fluorite is indeed a luminous mineral. Combined with the lack of understanding of nature and minerals in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people's understanding of nature and minerals is not enough, so it is very likely to regard it as a rare treasure.

After reading these four statements with different basis, Chen Jing did not change much in his handsome face, and he did not think that one of them convinced him.

The reason is naturally very simple. After all, he found the treasure of the country. He had seen the treasures formed by Jie Lu, Xuan Li, and Die with his own eyes. He naturally understood that the various inferences of those scholars still have limitations.

Of course, before finding Sui Houzhu, Chen Jing didn't know what kind of treasure it was. Maybe it was one of the four statements.

So before seeing it with your own eyes, Chen Jing would not make much comments.

He just thought for a moment and continued to check other relevant information about Sui Houzhu.

The information he saw next made him more serious, because these information were inferences about Sui Hou Zhu’s whereabouts!

As a treasure that has been lost for thousands of years, it is indeed not easy to have an inference about its whereabouts.

Chen Jing immediately looked at it carefully.

The information says that Sui Hou Zhu's loss and Sui's decline are directly related to Sui's decline.

In 706 BC, King Wu of Chu began to attack Sui. After several tenacious resistances, Sui State was finally defeated by Chu. Later, Sui Hou Zhu naturally fell into the hands of the King of Chu. Of course, there was no clear historical record at that time.

It was not until around 350 BC that King Xuan of Chu learned that Qin sent envoys to view the treasures of Chu State, and summoned Yin Zixi to ask: "Qin wants to see the treasures of Chu, my Heshi jade and the Suihouzhu can be shown?" The general meaning of this is to say that the Heshi jade and the Suihouzhu are all in the hands of the King of Chu. It is a clear record of the whereabouts of Suihouzhu after the fall of Suihouzhu.

After Chu was destroyed by Qin, Qin Shihuang naturally had Suihouzhu and Heshi Bi. This can be found in historical documents. This can be fully confirmed in Li Si's "Letter to Exile the Guests". He wrote a letter to advise: "Now Your Majesty has brought the jade from Kunshan, and there is the treasure of Sui, the treasure of He, and the pearl of the bright moon... These treasures are not born in Qin, but why does Your Majesty say it?"

The meaning of this is roughly that Your Majesty has obtained the beautiful jade from Kunlun Mountain, possesses Suihouzhu and Heshi Bi, and has the pearl of the moon hanging on it... And these treasures are not produced by Qin, but Your Majesty likes them very much. Why is this? Qin Shihuang followed Li Si's opinion and stopped expelling guests.

As for what the order to expel the guest here means, it involves other matters, and it doesn't matter here. Just know that Sui Houzhu is indeed in the hands of Qin Shihuang.

After that, there have been no records of the whereabouts of Sui Houzhu in historical documents. Even if there are occasional records of scales and claws, they are mostly written by unknown people at will. In other words, it is likely to be bragging, just like some of the current self-media marketing accounts, commenting on all kinds of things they don’t understand.
