As for Sui Hou Zhu, this kind of "treasure" as famous as He's Bi, it can no longer be simply called a national treasure!The reason why Wu Chen never thought about it was because he couldn't find out its age, and because the historical records about the Suihou Pearl were always mysterious, and they didn't seem like real objects.

The earliest records about Sui Houzhu should be found in the two books "Zhuangzi" and "Han Feizi". In Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests", he said to Qin Shihuang: "The jade sent by your majesty to Kunshan today includes the Sui, Yu, and others. The Treasure of Harmony, the Pearl of the Hanging Moon...there is no such thing as a treasure of Qin, but His Majesty likes it, why?"

Even if they have always criticized "extravagant music", they think that rich countries do not seek more treasures and foreign objects, but in the eyes of Mohists with many talents, Sui Houzhu is also a rare treasure in the world. It is mentioned in "Mozi? Zhubi": "Heshi The jade, the pearl of Suihou, with three thorns and six differences, is also a good treasure of the princes."

The ancients have always referred to Suihou Pearl and Heshibi together as the "Second Treasures of Spring and Autumn", "Suizhu and Bi" or "easy-going", which shows their preciousness!

It can be said that if we rank the national treasures and cultural relics, the easy-going second treasure and the uploaded national jade seal will definitely rank among the top three!

It is a pity that these three peerless treasures have been lost in the long river of time, and future generations can only appreciate their brilliance from the lines of the documents.And now, Sui Houzhu actually appeared here, how could the master and apprentice not be overjoyed?

"Ahem, no, I said Master, why didn't you say it earlier last time!" Wu Chen originally thought it was the Ye Mingzhu, which is already extremely rare, but he didn't expect it to be this legendary object, and was overjoyed. They are all incoherent.

"What are you talking about! At that time, I was just wondering!" Mr. Liu glared at him. How could he say such a treasure so casually! "Just for you, I have spent a lot of time!"

It turned out that after Mr. Liu bought the bead that day, when Wu Chen returned, he studied it alone. The more it looked, the more it looked like the legendary ready-to-wear bead!Excited, I dug out the exclusive secret book "Baolu" handed down by the Ghost Valley Association through the ages, which contains detailed records of the national treasures of the past dynasties, including some treasures that have been lost or only exist in legends.

In one part of the pre-Qin period, there is a record about this bead, "There is a broken snake hill on the side of the poor water in Sui County. When Sui Hou traveled, he saw a big snake injured and cut off. He suspected its supernatural powers and sealed it with medicine. The snake was It is able to walk, because its place is called "Broken Snake Hill". At the end of the year, the snake holds a pearl to repay it. The diameter of the pearl is one inch, pure black, and there is light at night, and it can be used as a candle room, so it is called "Sui Hou Pearl". It's called 'Snake Spirit Pearl', and it's also called 'Bright Moon Pearl'."

This miraculous record is somewhat similar to the legend about the "Suihou Pearl" in other documents.

For example, in "Huainanzi", there is a saying "Go out with the Marquis, and when you see a big snake wounded, apply it with medicine, and the snake will hold a big pearl in the night to repay it, because it is called the Marquis Pearl, which covers the moon pearl." recorded.

However, the records in Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan" are slightly different: "In the past, when traveling with the Marquis, he was interrupted by a big snake. He doubted its spirit and made people pour medicine on the snake to go away. After the age, the snake held a pearl with a diameter of one inch and was pure white. And there is light, because the number follows the pearl."

Mingzhizhou Wang Na's "Yan Sui Zhu Tang Ji" says: Suihou saves the snake, Chu gets the pearl, and those who speak of Chu don't know where it comes from.In the old records, there was a snake with a pearl in its mouth and spit it out of the hall, saying: "I, the Dragon Prince, feel that you are alive, and I will repay your virtue." ” Sui Hou got the pearl and went to the king of Chu.He didn't know where he got the pearl into the king of Chu, and it's strange that the snake behaves like a man. "

Wu Chen has also read through these documents. He even read through his own "Baolu" and stored it in his mind. While listening to Mr. Liu, he retrieved his memories and found that the records of the past dynasties about the origin of Suihouzhu, Amazing agreement!

"Wait, master, the characteristics of the waiting beads in this record seem to be somewhat inconsistent."

Appraisal is a process of falsification, and Wu Chen quickly caught the flaw!In "Baolu" and "Shuoyuan", in the description of the characteristics of beads, one is pure black and the other is pure white. These are two completely different visual effects, and it is impossible to confuse them.

"Black and white are not completely indistinguishable." Mr. Liu said, pointing to the light source, "Look now, what color is it?"

Ever since the bead was fainted last time, Wu Chen had been terrified and didn't dare to look directly at it. Looking at it now, the whole bead was shrouded in a faint white light, as bright as a full moon, in a haze , pure and flawless, has nothing to do with the swarthy appearance under the sun, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the two are actually the same thing!

"This thing glows pure white, and when it doesn't shine, it's pure black. Between black and white, yin and yang flow. It's not as simple as a luminous pearl." Seeing Wu Chen's dumbfounded, Mr. Liu sighed slightly, he was still young, a lot Things that have not been experienced are unimaginable.

"Isn't it Ye Mingzhu? What's that?" Wu Chen looked at Mr. Liu slightly, and suddenly found that the old man's face was a little dignified, which is extremely rare.

All schools of thought in the pre-Qin period had their own ideals and missions, and Guigu Society actually had its own historical mission, but Mr. Liu didn't want to tell Wu Chen yet, things had to be done step by step.Now he is only at the stage of discussing things in terms of things. Some secrets about this waiting bead can't be revealed to this kid. The records are all to repay the favor with "Snake" or "Dragon Son", but there is such a half sentence in "Huainanzi", "Dragon comes from the sky" is the key, but it seems that Wu Chen hasn't noticed it yet. .

No matter!Due to chance, you can't force it. If you realize it, let it go. Wu Chen didn't pay attention to this aspect, which was never a blessing for him!

With a flash of thought in Mrs. Liu's mind, the original serious expression suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the face of an old naughty boy that could only be shown in front of Wu Chen: "In a broad sense, this is still a luminous pearl. As long as you meet at night Isn’t the glowing one the night pearl? Haha.”

This must have changed too fast, Wu Chen was taken aback by Mr. Liu's change of face, but it seemed that the old man was right.His uncle and uncle are both his uncles, incandescent energy-saving LEDs, and both are light bulbs.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu continued: "I have also seen the night pearl recorded in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty before. It is much smaller than this one, and its luster is completely incomparable. More importantly, the composition of the two is completely different."

There have always been many theories about luminous pearls. One is minerals such as fluorescent stones or diamonds, and the other is biological derivatives such as pearls. However, this "pearl of the night" is quite unique. It is heavy and has the characteristics of minerals, but the surface texture is fine, the whole body is dark and purple, and there is a faint "aura" flowing, but it is the characteristics of some plants, and I don't know how it is generated.

"In addition, there is another special point. If it is a mineral, there will always be radiation to some extent, but I took this one to the capital and tested it. There is no radiation at all..."

No radiation?A stone fell from Wu Chen's heart. He had seen the light before, and he was a little worried. If there was radiation, if it was given to Huang Xiaolin, wouldn't it harm her?
