Wen Qingshan didn't say anything. He stared at the bead for a while, then suddenly turned to Haibeard and me and said, "Let's turn off the lights and take a look!"
"Why turn off the lights? Isn't it pitch black?" I asked in confusion.
Wen Qingshan just smiled and without further explanation, he raised his hand and turned off the miner's lamp on his head. Haibeard and I had no choice but to do as he said.
Unexpectedly, just after we turned off all the miner's lamps, a magical scene appeared. The translucent white bead actually emitted a ball of white light, almost illuminating the surrounding area for several meters. I suddenly understood.
Why did Qingshan ask us to turn off all the lights? It turns out that this bead actually emits light on its own, and the light emitted by the miner's lamp above our heads is too strong. If it is turned on, we cannot see it.
Seabeard was surprised: "This is a night-light pearl!?"
Wen Qingshan observed the beads emitting white light for a while, then turned on the miner's lamp again, frowning and said: "In ancient times, most luminous pearls were natural fluorite. After being illuminated by strong light, they can emit yellow-green, light blue or
There is a faint light in colors such as orange and red, but the bead emits white light, and its brightness is comparable to a light bulb of more than 20 watts. It is really rare in the world, but it reminds me of a unique treasure."
"What kind of rare treasure?" I asked curiously.
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said word by word: "The Pearl of Sui Hou!"
"What is the Sui Marquis Pearl?" I have never heard of it.
Wen Qingshan said: "In ancient Chinese history, there are two treasures that are equally famous all over the world and must be fought over by emperors of all dynasties, namely, the wall of the He family and the Pearl of the Sui Marquis. "Han Feizi" has detailed records of these two treasures: 'He'
The wall of the clan should not be decorated with five colors; the pearls of the Sui marquis should not be decorated with silver and yellow, because their quality is so beautiful that they are not enough to be decorated.'"
"What! A treasure as famous as the He's Bi?" I know the He's Bi. The story of the perfect jade returning to Zhao is mentioned in middle school textbooks. It can be said that everyone knows that more than two thousand years ago, King Zhao of Qin was willing to pay ten
Five cities exchanged He's Bi, saying it is a priceless treasure
It is not an exaggeration, and later the Heshi Bi was made into a national jade seal by Qin Shihuang. It was passed down for nearly a thousand years and disappeared until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Now Wen Qingshan said that the bead in front of him was actually the same as the Heshi Bi.
I still couldn't believe the rare treasures with the same name.
Hai Beard also thought it was impossible. He said: "After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, both Sui Zhu and Bi were obtained by Qin Shihuang. However, after the fall of Qin, the Sui Hou Zhu disappeared and disappeared. How could it be lost two thousand years later?"
Where is it in the hands of King Chuang? Besides, if he got such a rare treasure, how could there be no record of it in either official or unofficial history?"
Wen Qingshan explained: "There is a beautiful legend about the Pearl of the Sui Marquis. It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Sui Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty went out to inspect the fiefdom and rescued a dying white snake on the way. Later, the white snake spit out a huge and bright pearl.
It was presented to the Marquis of Sui Dynasty in repayment for his life-saving grace. It is said that this pearl is white and round, close to
It looks like a crystal candle, and looks like a bright moon on the sea. Look at this bead again. It can also emit light in the dark. This is very similar to the Sui Marquis Pearl. Moreover, there is a white snake coiled next to it.
I think this means that the pearl comes from the White Snake, which is basically consistent with the origin of the Sui Marquis Pearl."
After hearing Wen Qingshan's explanation, Haibeard nodded thoughtfully: "What you said seems to make sense."
I opened my mouth and said, "Could it be that the holy treasure of the cult mentioned by Mr. Hao is this Sui Marquis' Pearl?"
Wen Qingshan said: "If it is really the Pearl of the Sui Marquis, it is not impossible! The Sui Marquis Pearl is a priceless treasure after all."
"I want to see what's so special about this priceless treasure." Seabeard said, stretching out his hand.
However, when he was dealing with the man in black, his hand was injured. Although it had been briefly treated, there were still blood stains on his hand. Seeing this, Wen Qingshan quickly stopped him and said: "Brother Hai, you have something on your hand."
If you are injured, please don’t touch the antiques to avoid infection, so let Shi Yu do it.”
Seabeard had no choice but to retract his hand and step aside. I took a step forward and stretched out my hand towards the orb in the wooden box. Unexpectedly, the moment my finger just touched the bead, the bead kept coming.
At every turn, the white snake that we all mistakenly thought was a white jade sculpture suddenly bit me on the wrist of my right hand with lightning speed. The pain made me scream and quickly retracted my hand. When I looked, I saw that there were many wounds on my wrist.
There were several snake fang marks.
Wen Qingshan and Haibeard were both shocked.
"Holy shit! This is a live snake!" As soon as Seabeard finished speaking, the white snake in the wooden box jumped up, and its body was like a sharp arrow from the string, heading straight for Seabeard. Seabeard hurriedly dodged.
On the side, the white snake jumped into the air, fell to the ground, and quickly jumped towards Wen Qingshan. In desperation, Wen Qingshan quickly pulled out the Dragon Slash, raised the knife with his hand, and cut the white snake into two pieces in one stroke.
The white snake that was cut into two parts was struggling desperately on the ground. Wen Qingshan hurriedly avoided it and moved aside. He looked at me and asked: "Shi Yu, are you okay?"
"I'm not... okay..." Before I could finish my sentence, I felt that my entire right arm was completely out of control, and my body began to tremble.
When Wen Qingshan saw this, he rushed over to help me. I looked down at my right hand and saw that the skin below the elbow had turned black! Without saying anything, Wen Qingshan quickly tapped my shoulder twice.
He lowered his hand and sealed the acupuncture point on my right arm to delay the spread of venom. He turned to Seabeard and said, "This snake is poisonous! Do you have an antidote needle?"
"There is a belt!" Seabeard immediately took off his backpack and took out a box of injections.
He very skillfully injected the injection into my right hand. After a while, the black color of the skin on my right hand receded slightly. It seemed that the detoxification injection had taken effect.
Wen Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Brother Hai brought the antidote needle!"
He raised his hand to unlock the acupuncture points on my shoulder. I tried to move a bit, and besides being a little numb, I was able to exert some strength, and my body no longer trembled.
When we looked down at the white snake that had been cut into two parts, we couldn't help but be surprised. We saw that the two parts of the white snake's body actually had a head and a tail respectively. In other words, after a snake was cut in half, it actually had a very short body.
It became two in a matter of time!
I have only heard that earthworms can turn into two after being chopped off, but I have never heard that snakes have such incredible regenerative abilities! No! Strictly speaking, this is beyond the scope of regenerative abilities and should be considered
It’s the ability to reproduce!
The three of us stared at the two white snakes that were about to take shape, and we didn't know what to do for a moment. Although Wen Qingshan held the Broken Dragon Slash in his hand, he didn't dare to cut it anymore. What if the two white snakes turned into four again?
It's lively.
Seabeard calmed down and suddenly took out a thick plastic sealed bag from his backpack. Regardless of the injuries on his hands, he took a step forward and pocketed both snakes with the plastic bag. He quickly removed the plastic bag.
The zipper of the bag was closed, and the two snakes were put into the plastic bag.
The strange thing is that the two snakes did not struggle in the bag, they just wriggled slowly a few times and then stopped moving.
Seabeard said: "This snake is so strange. I have to take it back and study it carefully. Maybe I will discover a new species!"
He carefully put the snake into his backpack, and I said worriedly: "Brother Hai, be careful that this thing bites through the bag."
Seabeard smiled and said: "Don't worry, this bag of mine is difficult to penetrate with a knife, let alone a snake's tooth."
Wen Qingshan turned to me and asked: "Shi Yu, how do you feel now?"
"My arms are just a little numb, but I don't feel much else."
Wen Qingshan grabbed my right arm and looked at it, then took my pulse and said, "It seems that the poison has been cured, but there are still residues. Shi Yu, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you have to tell me in time."
I nodded.
Wen Qingshan returned his attention to the white round bead in the box. He took it out personally, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This is indeed not an ordinary luminous pearl! It should be Suihou
Pearl is right!"
Hai Beard said excitedly: "If it is really the Suihou Pearl, it can be regarded as one of the major discoveries in the history of archaeology..." Before he could finish his words, Wen Qingshan suddenly turned around and interrupted him, saying: "Brother Hai
, I want to ask you for something."
"Why is Third Brother Wen so outspoken? If you have anything to do, just give me orders."
Wen Qingshan said seriously: "I want to stay and study this orb, but I won't hand it over for the time being. Is that okay?"
Haibeard was startled: "Brother Wensan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to take this rare treasure as your own?"
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "No! No! Brother Hai, you have misunderstood. How dare I keep such a rare treasure secretly? However, before he died, Mr. Hao said that the black-clothed holy envoy was for a cult holy treasure.
Come, I want to find out what kind of connection there is between this orb and the Black Devil Sect, and I will hand it over to the country in the future."
"This thing is a priceless treasure. It would be wrong not to report it to the superiors..." Seabeard seemed a little hesitant.
Wen Qingshan said: "Brother Hai, you have also seen how vicious the people in the cult are. I always feel that they are implementing a huge conspiracy. Therefore, I must investigate the matter clearly, and this orb, perhaps
It’s a very important clue!”
Seabeard said nothing, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Wen Qingshan and said, "Brother Wen, I believe you. I will pretend I have never seen this orb before."
"Thank you Brother Hai!" Wen Qingshan turned to look at me again: "Shi Yu, you have to keep it a secret and don't tell it."
I glanced outside the stone door: "Can I let my uncle know?"
