It was also the first time Xiao Lingyue had seen him.
"Can I go over and take a look?" she asked the prince.
"Please, as long as it is not destroyed." The prince smiled.
Xiao Lingyue was not polite anymore. She stepped on the tarpaulin and walked to the rare "sacred tree", looked at it curiously, and then reached out to touch it.
In fact, in modern times, the reason for the formation of gloomy wood has been explained.
It is not as magical as the ancients imagined.
To put it simply, gloomy wood is buried deep underground for some natural reason. After years of natural transformation and squeezing, it gradually appears carbonized, and finally forms an extremely special texture.
It is indeed immortal, hard and tough, highly corrosion-resistant, and has a strange fragrance that can prevent insects and moisture from entering the water and not float.
It is precisely because its texture is naturally formed and cannot be made by manpower.
That's why it seems particularly rare and precious.
At the same time, it is also the most suitable material for making coffins.
"I have heard of the famous name of gloomy wood, but it seems that it is not much different from ordinary wood, but the texture is a little dense, the weight should be very heavy, and it does have a special fragrance."
Xiao Lingyue leaned closer and smelled it, thinking that this fragrance should be able to prevent insects.
"What are you doing?" Zhan Beihan walked closer and asked coldly.
Xiao Lingyue ignored him and turned to ask the prince, "Is this gloomy tree sent to the imperial tomb? Is it planned to be used to make a coffin?"
"Yes." The prince nodded, "The coffin of the imperial tomb had been made, but the Ministry of Works presented this gloomy wood. The craftsmen who built the tomb said that this was an excellent coffin material, so they were ready to rebuild it.
”
What a luxury...
Xiao Lingyue thought to herself that such precious wood is used to build a coffin!
Sure enough, no emperor is not extravagant.
The prince asked, "Is there any problem?"
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "This gloomy wood should be fine. It is priceless and attracts much attention. If I were a bandit and wanted to smuggle something, I would never target such a conspicuous thing."
Because the risk factor is too high, it is easy to be discovered.
Compared with these precious and rare woods, some ordinary woods that are not so precious and have a large number of them are more suitable for hand-and-handing.
Xiao Lingyue's mind flashed and she said, "Your Highness, I thought of an inspection method, which may be useful, but will damage some wood."
"oh?"
The prince showed an interesting expression and said without hesitation: "Apart from this sacred tree, you can check other woods at will, and it doesn't matter if they are damaged."
Wood is not valuable. No matter how expensive it is, it is not as important as iron ore.
"Then I'm not polite."
Xiao Lingyue smiled slightly and walked to a dragon scale guard next to her: "Lend me your knife to use it."
The Dragon Scale Guard was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhan Beihan.
Zhan Bei said coldly: "What are you doing with a knife?"
"You will know later." Xiao Lingyue said perfunctorily and pointed, "I want this narrow knife."
"Yes." The Dragon Scale Guard responded in a deep voice, untied the narrow knife around his waist, and held it with his hands to Xiao Lingyue with her scabbard.
The narrow sword of the Northern Qin Dynasty has a similar appearance to the Tang sword.
The blade is narrow and long and narrow, with a single-sided blade, and the sharp tip of the knife is better than that of the long sword.
Xiao Lingyue drew her sword and sheathed it, and the silver blade was as bright as a pool of autumn water.
Zhan Beihan wrapped his hands around his chest and looked at her coldly, as if there was a row of words on his face, "I will see what you are doing today!" This chapter has been completed!
