Chapter 185: Scarlet Coral Tree
With the squeaking sound, the box opened.
At the same time, a strange black yin wind blew out of the box with a fierce evil spirit and pounced on Brother Qi's face, as if the gravel in the sandstorm was hit on his face.
This strange and evil wind, like a ghost with eyes and wings, passed through the main tomb chamber and the corridor, and scraped into the sky outside the cliff tomb.
Fortunately, there was no more evil and supernatural strange thing, nor was there any casualties or accidents! Brother Qi was a person who did not believe in evil. He rubbed his eyes that were so hot that he was crying, held the sharp knife with cold light, and stretched his neck to look in.
I saw a red coral tree with medium height but large crown in the middle of the box. On the top of the coral tree, there was a golden oval thin gold plate hanging. The thin gold plates were written in the Goba people, and the Tibetan and Chinese vertically said: "Those who trespassed into the cliff tomb to obtain treasures will die without a place to bury them."
There were also two blood-dropping battle axes engraved on the lower part of the gold plate. On the interlaced battle axes was a skull without a celestial spirit cover, with a split skull in the middle, and their eyes were sprayed with ghost fire. Brother Qi reached out to take off the oval gold plate, which was only seven or eight inches long. He turned over and saw that there were countless evil spirits and monsters engraved on the back, shouting with his mouth wide open on the lake.
Brother Qi was confused. The gold plate was very thin, but only two taels of weight. Then he twisted it into a trickling flower with his hands and threw it at his feet contemptuously.
This coral tree is not very tall, but it almost covers the entire box, and it is a blood-colored coral tree among the red coral tree.
The strange branches and vines above are very different from ordinary corals, and there are many golden dragons woven with strange light, coiled on the branches of the blood-colored coral tree, as if they were really, there were eight in total.
The coral tree canopy is like the Western Christmas tree, hanging with golden apples, pomegranates, kumquats, golden oranges, golden peaches, jade gems, green phoenix kingfishers, etc., which looks like a stream of brilliance and jewelry.
Brother Qi carefully lifted the blood-colored coral tree and felt that it weighed thirty or forty pounds.
The Six Monsters were moved by the sight of such a gorgeous blood-colored coral tree! This is not only because the coral tree is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, but also the best blood-colored coral tree is hard to see even if the old collectors live a lifetime.
It’s like a car that is worth tens of millions of dollars, and a Geely that costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per car is also considered a car. Is that the same thing?
During their tomb robbery career, they have seen some coral trees, but compared with those coral trees, those coral trees are like firewood in the wasteland and have to be thrown away.
The ancient Persians, known for their humor and love, first named corals in ancient times. The red corals, amber, and pearls were all called organic gems. Even the Qing emperors at that time often wore court beads made of red coral to meet civil and military ministers in their daily morning rituals!
But their red coral beads, compared to this blood-colored coral tree, have to be thrown away like a mother-in-law's old shoes, and thrown farther away.
As early as the vast sea of the ancient Persian state, there were huge coral continents. People who were good at diving rode the wind and waves, sat on large ships, and fell to the bottom of the water to get it.
Corals are born on the stubborn rocks at the bottom of the sea, as white as bacteria! They are yellow at one year old and turn red at the age of two. The branches are intertwined, very similar to the branches on land, with bright and beautiful colors. As for the white coral trees in our home today, they are actually as ordinary as sea cabbage in the sea.
Moreover, corals have been closely related to Buddhism since ancient times. Buddhists in India and Tibet in China regard red corals as the incarnation of Tathagata Buddha. They regard corals as mascots for worshiping Buddhas, mostly used as Buddhist beads and decorate statues, and are highly valued and noble things.
It can be seen that, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, whether they are ancient ancestors, or fashionable and wealthy people, whether they are palace officials, or grassroots common people, they have sincere and pious beliefs and strong and unique preferences for Red Coral.
The blood-colored corals among the red corals can be said to be the best among the treasures, and most people in the world have no chance to see them.
Until today, the blood-colored corals in the sea have become rare. Only the British Empire Museum has a one-and-a-half-foot-and-a-half-foot-colored coral tree. Others are not privately collected by collectors, but also privately collected by them. Moreover, the blood-colored corals in the world are rare and rare.
Most of the poor sea people who risk their lives to travel far away are not able to make any money in their lives, but once they are caught, they can get a lot of wealth and can't eat or drink in their lives. This is not like fishing fish in the pot and flops, one by one, either fish or noodles, haha.
The seven monsters surrounded the blood-colored coral tree and saw it red all over. On the basis of this big red robe, the branches were bright red like blood and beautiful as blood flowers. This blood-colored coral that was rare in the world was never seen before.
It’s just that Ziyang Zhenren talked to Qi Ge about the preciousness and value characteristics of blood-colored corals, otherwise Qi Ge would not recognize such a treasure.
It looks like this blood-colored coral is like a branch and a flower! And for a long time, people have mistakenly thought that corals are a marine plant. It was not until the 1920s that corals were discovered that corals were not fucking plants, but a primitive coelenteric animal.
The "skeletons" secreted by this marine polyp are extremely diverse and have different quality. Only red corals are gem-level corals. This blood-colored coral belongs to the best among red corals and octopus corals.
It also symbolizes calmness, intelligence, peace and auspiciousness. Today it is also used as a birthday stone in March and a souvenir of the 35th anniversary of the marriage. As for the Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms - "Mr. Lao Cao" who had seventy-two doubts after his death, he had a son Cao Zhi, who had seven steps to write a poem. This guy said in a verbal way: "Pearls intersect with jade, but it is difficult to get a tree between corals."
At this moment, the seven monsters surrounded the blood-colored coral and could not see enough. When you touch it, it not only has a pleasant color and a bright texture. It also grows very slowly and cannot be regenerated. Among the seven oceans, only the Taiwan Strait, the Japan Strait and the Baltic Strait, can there be traces of ghosts as mysterious as ghosts.
The famous coral connoisseur also said on the weekend: "Corals are the elves of the sea." At the same time, Indians also believed that "precious corals are the mother of the earth."
Even the little Japanese Emperor regarded red coral as its national treasure. I guess if I saw the blood-colored coral tree in the red coral, I would have to kneel down and recognize my ancestors, haha. Especially coral trees above two feet tall are rare in the world.
What about this tree, two and a half feet!
For example, your close relative of the red coral, willow coral is also called the so-called drip octopus coral. Its soft body and structure are basically the same as that of the red coral, and it also has keratinous skeletons. At the same time, the colors are diverse, including deep red, ochre red, peach red, flesh red, pink, etc.
But it’s like a monkey and a man on earth are close relatives, and they look very clever! But humans have already landed on the moon with five gods, six gods, and seven gods, and they can go to heaven and earth to clone and cross rice, and they can only harvest raw meat and drink blood and pick wild fruits. They climb branches and play with "unright horses". They are not of the same level.
In short, after getting this treasure, Brother Biaoshao was filled with blood and thought that the tomb robbery was really right.
Everyone watched for more than ten minutes before they recovered from their ecstasy and giggled at each other.
Brother Qi sent a blood droplet to watch the blood-colored coral tree, as if he was afraid it would fly. He led the five monsters to search the two ear tomb chambers for a long time and found that the two ear tomb chambers were not only skeletons, but also skeletons.
So Brother Qi lit a big pipe and slowly sprayed the smoke rings and said, "Mom, the treasures of Tibet are well-known, but here are rarely visited, ordinary people cannot enter, and ethnic minorities do not have the habit of robbing tombs. Let's take these treasures first and find God's treasures. When we come back, it's not too late to dig them slowly."
Brother Qi's words were reasonable, and the Six Monsters had no objection. So Brother Qi tied two big ropes and flying claws together, grabbed a piece of rock spit out from the hole, and asked Hua Dan to get off first.
The flower girl is as light as a swallow and has very good light skills.
