A knife in love

Chapter 1760

Regarding the "Tiger Soul", Wang Xiaoyu had indeed heard Liu Shengdan and Ma Shou talk about it.But back then Liu Shengdan and Ma Shou sent Wang Xiaoyu away with just a few words.Therefore, when Wang Xiaoyu told the story, he added oil and vinegar to deduce many stories that were not true.At first, everyone thought that Wang Xiaoyu could come up with something different, but they didn't expect it to be a story passed down by word of mouth among the villagers, and felt a little helpless.In the end, Wang Xiaoyu even said the word "old fairy", and everyone laughed at her for not knowing what to do and talking nonsense.

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "Miss Wang's story is very wonderful, but the story I heard about the tiger's soul is quite different from this story. My master once said that day, After Dongfang Shuo fooled Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ministers of the court thought that the matter was really what Dongfang Shuo said, that the tiger soul was a lucky thing, so they secretly asked people to search around, hoping to find one or two pieces of tiger soul to put in the town house at home. In fact, this thing is not Not surprisingly, it is a strange stone that pine oil drips from the tree trunk, sinks into the soil, and is eroded by wind, rain, wind and snow, and finally condenses into a strange stone. Pine tree oil is found everywhere in the world, but it can wrap amber in Among them, the soil that does not penetrate into the pine oil is extremely rare, and only a few places in the world can find this kind of soil in the deep mountains. In this way, the tiger soul becomes precious. When the pine oil drips, If it happens to wrap insects, flies and other things in it, the condensed tiger soul will be a rare treasure in the world, and it will be priceless."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The tiger's soul is regarded as a treasure by the world, so there are treacherous people in the world who find a large pine forest in the deep mountains and old forests, and deliberately wrap insects, centipedes, small snakes, etc. Put pine oil in it, then bury it in the soil, wait until it condenses into amber soul, then dig it out and sell it for huge gold. There are even greedy people who put pearls in the pine oil, the amber soul made in this way is naturally price More expensive. In fact, this thing is just ordinary pine oil condensed, and it is not worth much money at all."

When everyone listened to Li Qiufeng's story about the origin of Tiger Soul, everyone thought deeply.Although Wang Xiaoyu was not convinced, he didn't dare to argue with Li Qiufeng again.Only Xiao Dong's heart was shaken, he thought to himself that he went to Yunnan on business the year before last, and got the filial piety from the local officials, including two amber souls.A piece of amber is white all over, with a green leaf floating in it.Another piece of Amber Soul is extremely round, and there is a big caterpillar crawling in it, very agile.At that time, I regarded it as the most precious treasure, couldn't put it down, and brought it back to the capital all the way.Later, once I had a drink with Mr. Zhou, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and took out two tiger souls to play with while enjoying the wine.Mr. Zhou's eyes were straightened, he wanted to offer 1000 taels of silver to buy Amber Soul, but he naturally refused to do so.Listening to what the kid surnamed Li said, Tiger Soul is really nothing special.Fortunately, people in the world don't know its origin and think it is the most precious treasure in the world.It seems that after returning to the capital, I want to get rid of the two pieces of amber soul as soon as possible, lest the world know the origin of this thing in the future, and these two pieces will inevitably be thrown into my hands, and I will suffer a lot if that happens.

Li Qiufeng went on to say: "Look, everyone, does this big man stand in the big rough jade, does he look like a bug in the amber?"

Everyone looked intently, only to see that the big man was majestic and majestic.It's just that since everyone saw his shadow, he stood still in the big uncut jade, and he really didn't look alive.Both Wang Xiaoyu and Xiao Dong have played with the Amber Soul before, and when they think carefully about the appearance of the Amber Soul, they are quite similar to the big piece of rough jade in front of them.

After a while, Wang Xiaoyu said in a trembling voice: "Hero Li, you said that this big man is also like those insects and flies, because he was wrapped in this big piece of rough jade? Could it be that the jade is also formed by the condensation of pine oil dripping from the tree?" Can it be done? If so, if it is to be condensed into such a large piece of rough jade, this, this pine tree, I am afraid, it must be more than a hundred feet high. But where in the world can we find such a tall and large pine……"

Murong Danyan also had this question in her heart. After listening to Wang Xiaoyu, she also nodded and said, "Sister Xiaoyu is right. This thing doesn't look like it's made of pine oil."

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "I'm afraid the two girls may be wrong. Li did not say that this big piece of uncut jade is made of pine oil, but that the big man was trapped in the uncut jade, wrapped with insects and flies. There is some similarity in the formation of tiger soul in pine oil. If Li's guess is correct, he was deliberately placed in jade, not wrapped in big rough jade."

Qi Jiu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "Brother Li, we searched carefully on the big uncut jade just now, but we didn't find that someone tampered with the stone. If someone said that this man was put in on purpose, I'm afraid No one in the world has such a great ability to cut open a jade and put a person in without leaving any traces. And who would do such a thing, stuffing a person into the rough jade? Too puzzled?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "Skillful craftsmen in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, but we have never met them. When Li was in the capital, he once saw a master craftsman who could carve 36 heavenly gods on a peach core. Come on, this kind of craftsmanship is naturally unimaginable. But for experts, it is not a rare thing. If the corpses on the stone platform outside the secret road are really craftsmen who are the prisons of Daliao, they will cut open the big rough jade and take the Putting the big man in and sealing the uncut jade as before, it is expected to be not a difficult task."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "As for why they put this big man into the big uncut jade, Li does not dare to say. However, when Li was working in the palace, he heard the jade worker say However, the ancients believed that jade was a sacred object that could protect the body from corruption. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the emperors and famous ministers and generals spent a lot of money to buy jade in order to preserve their bodies after death. They invited master craftsmen to polish the jade into jade figurines After the nobleman passed away, immediately put the corpse into the jade figurines, and then transported into the tomb. In this way, even after thousands of years, the corpse will not rot. It is even said that after the corpse is sealed in the jade figurines, if it is a coincidence, The dead not only have the opportunity to be resurrected, they can even be sanctified physically and become immortals."

Murong Danyan heard Li Qiufeng's miraculous words, and thought to himself, just now when Sister Xiaoyu talked about the legend of Hupo, she brought out all the old gods, and we all laughed at her nonsense.But Brother Li is a cautious person, why would he talk about such absurd stories as the body being sanctified, turning into a god?

I only heard Li Qiufeng continue to say: "The so-called so-called legends of flying in the daytime are nothing but lies of mountain and field villagers. The ancients loved jade and thought that jade was more valuable than gold and silver. Therefore, it is better to put the corpse in the jade. It is to show respect for the deceased. This big piece of uncut jade is a unique treasure in the world. Those people put the big man in the uncut jade, so naturally they respect him very much. If Li guessed correctly, this person probably Jiu is the leader who brought the craftsmen who will be prisons here, but he doesn't know why he died here. All the subordinates respected him very much, so they just found a big piece of rough jade here, and cut it open immediately. I picked up the big uncut jade and put his body in. Therefore, after hundreds of years, the body of this big man still hasn't rotted. If it weren't for the gloomy light of the will-o'-the-wisp and the jade in the big uncut jade that reflected each other, I'm afraid we wouldn't be here at all. You will find a corpse sealed in the big uncut jade."
