After seeing off Zhang Zhaoqing, Lu Cheng saw that it was not dark yet, so he walked out of the hotel and headed to the Magic City International Jewelry City.
Jewelry City is located in the Golden Corner of Jiuting Commercial Area. It consists of Gem City, Jade City, Jade City, Crystal City, Pearl City, Strange Stone City, etc. Its business scope includes gems, jade, jade, semi-precious stones, collectible stones, biological fossils, and minerals.
Crystals etc.
Lu Cheng chose something with spiritual energy, not necessarily jadeite. When he saw all kinds of strange stones, as long as they smelled of spiritual energy, he wanted to buy them back.
There are several stone gambling shops here, with hundreds of rough jade stones.
The total gambling materials were relatively small, so Lu Cheng started to buy half-gambling materials, which were the kind that opened a window or blocked the waist with a large stone. The external performance was not very good, but there were good jade materials hidden inside, like this
The price of the material is easy to negotiate. If you buy a good jade and cut it out, it will be a good value for money. If it is a rough stone with a beautiful appearance, there is no way to bargain.
Lu Cheng spent two hours and bought 4 rough jade stones. The stones were not big, weighing more than 300 kilograms in total.
He also bought emeralds, aquamarines, chrysoberyls, chrysanthemums, tourmalines, spinels, garnets, tanzanites, topaz, zircons, peridots, color-changing gems, citrine gems, opal, green
Curtain stone etc.
He bought a little of each, choosing the ones that were not too expensive, and planned to take them back for testing.
The so-called gems are mostly single mineral crystals. The transparent ones are processed into facets, while the translucent to opaque ones are often processed into jewelry. Some of the latter have starlight and cat's eye effects. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and golden-green cat's eyes are universally recognized.
The five precious gemstones have value for preservation and collection, while the rest are mid- to low-grade gemstones.
The emerald mentioned here does not refer to the color of jade, but a special gemstone. It belongs to the beryl family and is a hexagonal crystal system. The crystals are often hexagonal columnar, with rare vertebrae. There are corrosion pits on the cylinder and bottom axis.
.
In addition, Lu Cheng also wanted to buy ruby and sapphire rings. However, the prices of these two gemstones were too high.
Ruby and sapphire belong to corundum, with a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond. It is the second hardest substance in nature and can withstand high temperatures without melting. Whether worn or collected, rubies are not afraid of environmental changes.
High-quality rubies are extremely rare and difficult to obtain. In Myanmar, on average, only about 1 carat of raw ruby ore can be screened out for every 400 tons of ruby ore. And after re-selecting these raw ruby ores, only 1,000 ruby ores can be screened out.
Select a ruby that reaches gem quality in terms of color, clarity, weight and other aspects.
A ruby sapphire over 10 carats would have an auction price of hundreds of millions. If it was too small, it would not be worth engraving runes to Lu Cheng.
Ruby origins are Myanmar, Mozambique, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Kenya.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "If I have a chance, I should go to the place of origin and have a look, maybe I can find a bargain."
He wants to get an "Escape Talisman" and go to the place of origin to dig it himself!
Not only rubies and sapphires, but also raw jade stones. How cool would it be to go to the place of origin and dig them yourself?
Back at the hotel, he took out the "Great Witch Chant" and wondered which runes were related to "escape from the earth".
This is not an easy task, because he has no one to teach him, so he needs to analyze the runes by himself, carve them into jade, and try repeatedly to know whether it works.
In addition, he can also find another way to improve his skills as quickly as possible, and do everything possible to open the two seeds in his mind, let them take root, sprout and flourish, and naturally comprehend richer rune contents.
In the final analysis, no matter when, improving one's own skills is more important, even more important than studying runes!
The next day, Lu Cheng participated in the marathon.
This kind of competition is not a bad thing for him, because he found that it is easier to enter a state of enlightenment during long-distance running, especially after running at high speed for 20 minutes, the heavenly orifice above his head will automatically open to receive the Taoism and Taoism pouring from the sky.
Reiki and Taoism can stimulate the germination of witchcraft seeds. Reiki can promote the improvement of skills and help open up the eight extraordinary meridians.
As for the competition results, as long as he appears on the field, the results cannot be too bad.
Hong Yanming, Jin Min, Zheng Shen, Gu Heng, plus newcomers who keep popping up, can only be his foils.
In this competition, two more dark horses emerged, both under 20 years old and with results under 2 hours. Although they failed to enter the top three, they made it to the top eight after all. They are young and have a bright future.
Zhang Shaobo, the head coach of the national track and field team, retired and was replaced by Mesozoic coach Zhong Tiemao.
Zhong Tiemao is from Guangxi. In the past, Guangxi produced good long-distance runners. However, in the past two years, all the marathon masters who have emerged are from the eastern coastal areas. There are six or seven masters who have broken the 2-hour mark, which makes him both happy and satisfied.
Somewhat sad, but also very puzzled: "Why do dark horses come from the east? What is the reason?"
At the same time, more young athletes are emerging from junior sports schools in various places. These people have good physical fitness, high hemoglobin content, a 30% increase in maximum oxygen uptake, stronger endurance and endurance, and enhanced muscle recovery capabilities.
Some indicators make coaches ecstatic, but make physiology experts tremble, because each physiological indicator is fixed by human beings adapting to the world for tens of thousands of years. If one indicator exceeds the standard, it may bring about compensation for other indicators.
This may not be a good thing for humans.
Moreover, it is said that some newborns in Sulu and Sulu provinces have higher hemoglobin levels. Although no harm is seen in the short term, it has not yet been determined whether there is any harm in the long term.
Lu Cheng didn't think too much. After the game, he took the high-speed train back to Quancheng that day.
The high-speed train from Shanghai to Quancheng only takes more than three hours, which is more convenient than flying.
After arriving home, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and Jiang Qiuyun was still typing.
When she saw Lu Cheng, a smile appeared on her face: "Welcome home! The calligraphy and painting are sent out."
Lu Cheng nodded: "Sent it out."
"What kind of person is a lonely bug?"
"He is a patient. He is very smart, has a high heart, and is good at making money. However, his physical condition is poor and he suffers from severe depression."
"Pity."
"The heart cannot be guarded, and it is longing for other things, and it hurts itself."
Not everyone can control wealth, and not every family can control wealth. If you don't have a strong heart, you may be killed by pie falling from the sky.
There are too many examples of this. Some poor people win millions in the lottery, and within five years they will become extremely poor again, and may even die as a result. In some families, the older generation has worked hard to accumulate tens of billions, but they are quickly ruined if they fall into the hands of their sons.
Light cannot be passed on to the third generation at all.
Lu Cheng majored in acupuncture, studied ancient Chinese, and read many ancient books.
He smiled and said to Jiang Qiuyun: "The Book of Changes says: A gentleman carries his wealth with great virtue, a noble man with a weak virtue, a big plan with a small intelligence, a heavy responsibility with a small strength, which is rare. It means that a gentleman relies on
Deep virtues can carry all things; shallow virtues, but noble status; low intelligence and ability, but high ambitions; weak strength, but shouldering heavy responsibilities. These are all situations where virtue is not matched, and it will not last long.
of."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled sweetly: "From this point of view, neither you nor I have enough 'virtue'. Does this count as a way to gain fame and reputation?"
Lu Cheng grinned: "Since it's not enough, then make up for it slowly."
Then, he added: "I told Zhang Zhaoqing to buy one of your works every year. This will help you get a big customer."
Jiang Qiuyun hummed: "I don't care if you have big customers or not!"
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
"Are you sure I can save him?"
"Your calligraphy is becoming more and more spiritual. It's not difficult to make him live a few more years. It's not too difficult to make him die. Don't forget, runes can kill people."
"Why should I kill him?"
"Hey, I'm just talking."
The runes hide the secrets of heaven, and the secrets of heaven are alive and dead.
Lu Cheng studied "The Great Witch Chant". Although he only learned part of it, he had a strong ability to draw parallels and connect it with records in ancient books, and he came up with some novel ideas.
For example, he has read the "Yin Fu Jing", which contains some words: "The way to establish the sky is called yin and yang; the way to establish the earth is called softness and hardness; heaven and earth have feelings, and they go round and round, and there is no rebirth, and there is no death against death.
. Life and death are endless, there is life and death. Heaven sends murderous intentions, moving stars change places; earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground; humans send murderous intentions, heaven and earth repeat; heaven and man unite, and all transformations are established..."
Some of these contents can be expressed or manipulated by runes.
Just like the great witch Jumang, who left cross characters on the Wulian Tomb, it was able to change the celestial phenomena and bring about the revival of spiritual energy.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Can it be said that after the spiritual energy is revived, the great witch Jumang can be reborn? Isn't Jumang buried in the cairn? Didn't he coerce the tiger, leopard, bear, dragon and phoenix and leave in the white mist? Is he still hiding there?
Deep underground?”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder and thought to himself: "What if an unmanned excavator is used to dig out the two large tombs completely and break the foundation of the great witch? Will it cause a catastrophe?"
He wanted to persuade the relevant parties not to dig out, but all these were his speculations and had no basis. What he guessed seemed absurd in modern society, so he had no reason to speak, and it would be useless even if he spoke. After all,
People speak softly!
In the evening, Lu Cheng received a message from Luo Tao: "There is a new breakthrough in the research on the chipping of wind prayer charms! After the chip with the wind prayer charms engraved is installed into a large wind turbine, it can make the wind turbine function even when there is no wind.
108 more hours of operation! If a fan is equipped with 100 chips, it can add 10,800 hours. This number is very impressive, equivalent to an increase of 3 hours per day. Combined with the wind most of the time, the fan can be kept running for several years! My thesis is fast
It’s written. Teacher Zhuo is applying for expert review of the entire topic. If the review passes, I can graduate early."
Lu Cheng hurriedly sent a message: "Congratulations! I want to ask, which company's chips did you use for your research?"
