Liuxu glanced at Han Kongque, and continued: "I was shocked at that time. All these little guys were standing in the coffin, stepping next to the corpse. Next to the corpse were watermelons, melons, and peaches.
, there were a lot of treasures such as plums, apricots, dates, etc., and there was a jade lotus root behind the body with lotus leaves, lotus flowers, etc. √∟
The jade lotus roots and lotus leaves, some of which were white and some of which were green, looked even more strange against the corpses next to them. When I saw them just now, they scared me, so I hurriedly took out a few children, just as I wanted to teach them a lesson.
When I touched them, they didn't take it seriously."
Having said this, Liuxu paused again. As expected, Han Peacock also looked confused.
Liu Xu laughed and said: "Later I found out that this corpse was not a corpse at all, but a jade carving. Do you think I have deceived you all?"
"You said this is a jade carving?" Han Kongque looked at the corpse in the coffin. At this moment, he looked closely and saw that the corpse's features were lifelike and there was even a trace of blush on his face, as if he was asleep and could not see anything at all.
It looks like a corpse, which is definitely wrong.
Han Peacock stretched out his hand and touched it. The unique delicacy of jade made it impossible for it to be wrong.
Seeing this situation, Han Kongque couldn't help but smile. He should have thought long ago that when a person dies, he is dead. No matter how hard he tries to hide it, he can't hide the deathly aura. Besides, Cixi's age is not the same as the jade in the coffin.
I'm sorry to come.
From this point of view, Han Kongque should have felt something was wrong at the first time, but he just didn't think about it. Of course, he was not the only one who didn't think about it. I'm afraid Ma Jifang and others didn't think about it either, that Cixi's body was actually
It's a jade carving.
Actually, when you think about it, this is normal. After all, they are all considered normal people. No one has the habit of touching corpses, so it is considered normal that no abnormality was found in this corpse.
"It was after I got this jade lotus root that I was attracted to this treasure. You see. The jade lotus root, lotus branches, lotus leaves, and lotus flowers all put together make a complete treasure."
, a lotus appeared in Catkin's hand, and the two halves of the lotus were supported by two green lotus leaves.
"Where's the jade lotus root?" Han Peacock asked.
Liuxu smiled and said: "The jade lotus root is the root of this treasure, and naturally it will not appear easily. I doubt that the jade lotus root is not bad, and the lotus leaf or lotus in my hand will never be damaged."
"Well, your feeling should be right." Han Kongque's attention never left the corpse.
"What's wrong with you? You're not blinded by these treasures, are you?" Liu Xu said funnyly when she saw Han Peacock's look.
"Do you think Cixi loves jade too much? Even if she likes jade, there is no need to bury so many jade with her, right? Do you think there are some secrets that we don't know about?" Han Peacock said, looking at the green watermelon.
"I don't know what the secret is, but Cixi is famous for liking jade. What's so strange about this?" Liu Xu asked doubtfully.
"Some people say that Qianlong liked white jade and Cixi liked jade. It was just because she thought jade was beautiful and noble. Others said it was a personal hobby. Also, jade was a new thing in the Qing Dynasty and could lead the trend.
First of all, jadeite has a glassy luster, so it looks like a jewel when worn. Of course, it can also be said that nephrite belongs to yin and is suitable for men to wear. Jadeite belongs to yang and is suitable for women to wear!" said Han Kongque.
"No matter what you say, Cixi just likes jade! It's not surprising. Since she likes it, it's even less surprising that she would use it for burial after her death." Liu Xu didn't know what Han Peacock wanted to say.
"Well, this may not be strange, but it is strange that all these jades appear here. Look at the contents of this coffin. The empty spaces on the coral branches are scattered with pearls and stones. After filling them, jade objects are placed on top.
One portion of Eight Horses and one portion of Eighteen Jade Arhats.
Other watermelons, melons, peaches, plums, apricots, and dates are not melons, but are made of jade, jade, etc. Isn't this strange?" Han Kongque said.
"You mean these jade stones are all treasures, right? Just like the jade lotus leaf in my hand?" As Liu Catkin said, she stretched out her hand, and a lotus leaf appeared in her hand.
The material of this jade carving lotus leaf is ice-colored jadeite. This is a withered lotus leaf, which was born in the mud and is pure and unstained. In autumn, the lotus ripples and twists, and the dewdrops roll down.
The dense hollow leaf veins are intertwined into a network, and a small frog jumps on the lotus leaf, as if you can see the leaf shaking gently. Who can believe that this is carved from hard and heavy jade stone.
"Eh? Why haven't I seen this jade carving before?" Han Peacock looked at the lotus leaf in Liuxu's hand strangely.
Liu Xu said: "This one is very famous and is called 'Yilu Gantian'. It is the favorite work of Empress Dowager Cixi. Except for this one, look at this one, which is like a rope. This one is called 'Blessed Land and Blessed People's Residence'
, is filled with green emeralds planted on ice and is 10 centimeters high. It is also the favorite treasure of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Let me tell you, these jade works contain a certain amount of aura. I have read the ancient books you collected, which contain methods for gestating and raising magical artifacts. Do you think these jade artifacts are the magical artifacts that Cixi herself conceived and raised?"
Han Peacock said in surprise: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Isn't this simple? If it turns out that the jade lotus leaf in my hand is a magic weapon, the Empress Dowager Cixi won't use it herself? If she really had so many treasures, how could she die so early?" Liu Xu said.
"What you say makes sense. However, the most likely possibility is that these magical artifacts were conceived and raised by someone else. Maybe your statement is really right. These jade artifacts, placed in this deserted Luo Bu Nur, are still alive.
Just to nurture these jade articles." Han Peacock picked up a dark green jade carving that looked like weeds.
"Have you never seen these jades? Like this one, it's called 'Flying the Wind'. It's also glass jade. It's 21 centimeters high. Its simple and powerful lines show the orchid leaves flying in the wind.
The grasshoppers on the leaves also subtly add to the invisible beauty of the wind. The almost vertical angle of the orchid leaves must be made of high-quality emerald water stone. Its unique and excellent toughness can withstand such a dangerous composition. This is
A peerless treasure made with top-notch materials and top-notch carvings." Liu Xu looked at Han Peacock, feeling a little proud.
At this time, Han Kongque also noticed something unusual: "Are these the jade objects hidden in your jade lotus root?"
"Oh! Can't you become more stupid?" Liuxu said coquettishly.
"Really?" Han Peacock still couldn't believe it.
Liuxu said: "Really, I checked later and found that these are Cixi's favorite jade articles and were hidden in the jade lotus root that I refined. In addition to these few pieces, there are many more, including three-color jadeite.
The material of "Fu Cong Tian Desi" is made of rare three-color jadeite water stone with a height of 15 cm. The texture is fine, bright and clean, and the veins and textures on the orchid leaves are clearly visible.
There is also the "Spring Dawn Rebirth" made of ice-type three-color jadeite. It is a 15 cm high large piece of yellow fallen leaves, which is completely natural and almost realistic. There are many other sculptures made of ice-type three-color jadeite, like "Life"
Yue Zhang', "Ye Jinxi", one is green, white, green, and the other is green, yellow, white, three-color jadeite, both are considered rare items.
There are other ice-colored jadeite jadeites, such as this 'Sunshine' jadeite, which is 31 centimeters high. Below is an old loofah. The loofah is dry and brittle, as if the tentacles will crack, while the melon leaves and new seedlings are on top.
, but it is as bright and emerald as the sunlight, showing a lush intention full of vitality. Isn’t it beautiful?”
"Well, the colors are clear and very beautiful." Han Peacock had to admit that each of these jade carvings has its own uniqueness and can be said to be unique.
"Isn't it beautiful? Look at this 'husband singing and wife accompanying', I like it the most. It is made of ice yellow jade. It is 16 centimeters high. It has an orchid growing next to the stone. It is light and beautiful. On the orchid leaf, there are two
The ants follow each other, just like the "husband sings and the woman follows" in the world.
This work has challenged the limits of carving. It uses ice-type yellow jade to carve out a hanging, twisting, long and thin orchid. The hard jade turns into soft flowers and leaves. The leaves turn like the wind, and the flowers are as thin as transparent.
Isn't the carving of the light better than any jade carving you have ever seen?" Liuxu said proudly as he took out a piece of work again.
Han Peacock looked at this work and was amazed. The carving of this jade carving was really exquisite. Such a thin leaf was actually carved lifelike. Such carving skills could never be achieved by Han Peacock.
In addition to this fine jade carving carved with ylang ylang flowers, there is also a three-color jadeite "surprise of time", with a 17 cm high orchid leaf, strong and natural, orchid, bright and fragrant, and a scarab beetle crawling to the tip of a leaf on the right, and a stone on the stone.
The snails' beards and horns touched each other, as if they were saying hello, and it really gave the Korean peacock a big surprise.
And when another piece of jadeite from Laokeng appeared, Han Peacock could only marvel again.
This piece of Laokeng jadeite is 17 centimeters high. It is a rough piece of Laokeng jadeite that originally weighed 10 kilograms. It was carved into pieces of hanging orchid leaves. The hard jadeite turned into soft lines. It can be said that no expense was spared.
In addition to these, most of the other carvings are made of glass jade. The glass jade used in each piece is of excellent texture, clear and moist, smooth and even, and has a glass-like clear luster in its delicacy. These jade carvings
, it can be said that every piece is a treasure.
"I heard that you got Cixi's Ten Rare Treasures. I'm afraid you haven't heard of the seventeen national treasures jade carvings that Cixi loved most during her lifetime, right? That's it." Looking at the seventeen jade carvings placed on the coffin,
LiuXu said proudly.
"Oh! Before I saw these jade carvings, I didn't think about what those people were doing all this. Now that I see these shining jade carvings, I think I have found the reason why they did all this." Looking at these.
The exquisite jade carving made Han Kongque feel a little enlightened.
"Reason? You mean destroying that dragon vein?" Liuxu is naturally smart. As soon as Han Peacock said it, she thought of what Han Peacock was talking about. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
