Of course Yu Fei did not think that the famous Suihou beads in history were material tools because he had made a more important discovery.
Before that, Yu Fei most recognized the third theory, that is: Suihou beads are gem-grade diamonds. Because diamond crystals are mostly in the shape of beads, colorless and transparent, and have a strong luster. More importantly,
When diamonds are exposed to sunlight, phosphorescence of different colors can be seen in a darkroom. This is also consistent with the theory of night light. After geological exploration, gem-quality diamonds do exist between the northern foothills of Dahong Mountain and the southern foothills of Tongbai Mountain in Suizhou.
, the statement that Suihou beads are gem-grade diamonds can be justified.
But most people agree with the last theory, that is, the Suihou Pearl is actually a piece of fluorite. Yu Fei once discussed this topic with Ma Shang. As the Taishan Beidou in the collection world, Ma Shangdu believed that the so-called Suihou Pearl
In fact, it is a slightly larger luminous pearl. In the final analysis, it is an exquisite piece of fluorite for two reasons: first, fluorite is indeed produced in the northern part of Suizhou. Second, fluorite is indeed a luminous mineral. Although Yu Fei feels that the Suihou Pearl is
Calling it an ordinary fluorite doesn't make sense emotionally, but he has to admit that Ma Shangdu's fluorite theory is indeed more convincing than the diamond theory. But now Yu Fei really wants to see what happens when he treats Suihou
When the beads were placed in front of Ma Shangdu's eyes, what would his expression be?
Although I'm not sure, I have a hunch that Suihou Zhu is among them. Yu Fei nodded and said excitedly.
Among them, Qin Xiaojin was also confused by Yu Fei's words. According to Yu Fei's previous words, then the Suihou beads should be material beads, so the 173 unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi and the five in front of him
The material beads should all be Suihou beads, but Yu Fei said that they are among them. Could it be that there is something else in these material beads?
Yu Fei picked up the largest glass bead among them. This glass bead was about five centimeters in diameter, slightly larger than the legendary Suihou Bead.
Brother Yu Fei, what do you mean by this one is Suihou Zhu? Qin Xiaojin asked in disbelief.
Stretch out your hand. Yu Fei said suddenly.
Although Qin Xiaojin thought it was strange, he still extended his right hand as instructed.
Use some strength and don't drop it. Yu Fei said and put the glass bead on Qin Xiaojin's hand. Suddenly Qin Xiaojin felt his hand sink.
Qin Xiaojin's expression changed at this time, because the weight of glass beads was much heavier than ordinary ones.
Yu Fei was not surprised at all about Qin Xiaojin's accident. He had already known about it. On the way back, Yu Fei had used the energy of chaos to check it inside and out. On the surface, it was an ordinary stone.
It is a material bead. But inside it is wrapped a small bead with a smaller diameter. The approximate size is indeed about three or four centimeters, and it is indeed emitting a white light. It is not a material, not a fluorite, and it is not a pearl.
It's not even a gem-quality diamond. Yu Fei has no way of knowing what it is. But he is certain that it is the Suihou Pearl. It has been missing for nearly two thousand years. Its preciousness is indeed unimaginable. If the stall owner knew that he sold it for five hundred yuan,
I lost several antiques from the Spring and Autumn Period, including Suihou beads. If the value of these antiques is definitely not lower than that of Lantingxu, I will probably go crazy with regrets.
What surprised Yu Fei even more was that when the chaotic energy entered the Suihou Pearl, it was as if he suddenly saw a long-lost old friend, showing excitement and joy and even attached to it, nostalgic and unwilling to obey his own wishes.
Call and withdraw.
You can feel it too, right? Yu Fei smiled and said: There is definitely something weird in this bead.
Qin Xiaojin nodded and said in agreement: I feel what brother Yu Fei said. But why is this glass bead heavier than ordinary ones? Is there something else going on inside?
After listening to Qin Xiaojin's guess, Yu Fei couldn't help but admire Qin Xiaojin's quick thinking. Of course he knew the actual situation very well because of his chaotic aura. But Qin Xiaojin guessed something that was almost consistent with the actual situation just based on the weight.
As a result, this is indeed not easy.
How about we open it and take a look, Yu Fei said. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time. Although he didn't know what the material of the beads inside was, Yu Fei knew by feeling that its hardness was definitely not inferior to that of diamond. In this case,
Yu Fei wanted to break the glass ball outside and take out the Suihou Pearl inside.
Qin Xiaojin was frightened by Yu Fei's idea. He even said that he would break such a precious glass ball into pieces. Qin Xiaojin had already carefully identified it. These glass balls were very old and were not even in the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi.
Under the unearthed material ball, apart from its artistic value, its archaeological value is very huge. And classmate Yu Fei actually said that he wanted to smash it into pieces. If the old-timers in the archaeological field knew Yu Fei's idea, I am afraid that all of them would blow it.
Huzi glared and scolded Yu Fei for being a prodigal.
Brother Yu Fei, we still don’t know the value of these glass balls. It’s not good to act rashly. And it’s just my guess that there is something inside. If not, it’s not worth the loss. Even if there is something hidden inside, we don’t have it now.
If the tools are broken together with the contents inside, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Qin Xiaojin analyzed rationally.
Yu Fei knew that what Qin Xiaojin said made sense, so he could only suppress the commotion in his heart and put away these material beads. He had already made up his mind secretly. When he goes back, he must solve the problem piece by piece like the way he solved the stone.
Wipe off the outer glass to reveal the true appearance of the bead inside. Intuitively, he feels that the bead inside is definitely not as simple as a gem. But it is useless to say anything now. What Qin Xiaojin said makes sense. It is really not suitable now.
Untie.
Then the question arises, how could the Suihou Pearl be in the middle of such an ordinary material, and how did it end up in Qinhuangdao?
Later, after consulting a large amount of literature, Yu Fei made such a guess.
First, the Sui State was weak. When the Chu State attacked Sui State, Sui Hou hid the Sui Hou Pearl in a material vessel in order to protect it. According to records, Sui State already had the technology to make colored glaze at that time.
It is not difficult to place the Suihou beads in the glassware. It is estimated that this thing was done very secretly. The craftsman who did it was even silenced, so no one knew about this secret.
However, Sui State was still defeated by Chu State, and Sui Houzhu returned to the King of Chu.
The Suihou Pearl's arrival at Qinhuang Island is probably related to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang destroyed the Chu State and obtained the Suihou Pearl.
But Qin Shihuang began to seek immortality, and even on Qinhuangdao, he sent people to the sea to find immortals. Since he was going to sea, the Suihou Pearl came in handy, because according to the story of the origin of the Suihou Pearl, it is known that the Suihou Pearl was given by the son of the Dragon King to repay his kindness.
For Sui Hou. Regardless of whether this story is true or false, the ancients definitely believed it.
It is very likely that Qin Shihuang asked his subordinates to take the Suihou Pearl with them in order to increase the success rate of searching for immortals. Although the Suihou Pearl was precious, it seemed ordinary after being hidden in the material. It is estimated that Qin Shihuang's
So the reason why he still regards him as a treasure is entirely due to the secular perspective. Therefore, it is entirely possible to take it out to find immortals. One is an ordinary treasure, and the other is the hope of immortality. It is almost obvious what Qin Shihuang should choose.
Qin Shihuang was still uneasy and brought a few more feeder beads to increase the success rate.
But what I didn't expect was that the minister in charge of going to sea to search for immortals did not return these beads to the Dragon King, but hid them quietly. In order to avoid punishment, he was also afraid that others would remember them, so he never dared to publicize them.
Suihou Zhu was lost like this.
This can also explain why Liu Bang only found the Heshi Bi, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, but not the Suihou Pearl after destroying the Qin State.
Of course, all this is just Yu Fei's guess. The truth still needs Yu Fei to find out slowly in the future.
However, they did not come to Qinhuangdao this time to look for the Suihou Pearl. Although they knew that the possibility of Kyoto Man skull fossils in Qinhuangdao was extremely slim, the two of them still planned to search as usual. Otherwise, they would not be able to see Lu Yaosi again.
Sorry.
In the next two days, Yu Fei and Qin Xiaojin went to the library to look through a large amount of information, including the skulls of Kyoto people and the topography of Qinhuangdao, especially the history before and after the Anti-Japanese War. The two looked at it very carefully.
I hope to find some clues from it. With the help of Chaos Qi, Yu Fei checked the information very quickly. However, Yu Fei was disappointed that they couldn't find even a single bit of valuable information.
In fact, Yu Fei didn't even think about it. The search for the Kyoto Man skull lasted for so long and all the documents were almost overflowing. How could there be new discoveries?
Being buried in the pile of old papers made the two of them feel very tired. On the third day, Yu Fei suggested taking a break and relaxing his body and mind. If the search continued like this, the skull fossil of Kyoto Man might not be found, and the two of them would become bones first.
Of course, Qin Xiaojin had no objection to this. What he didn't expect was that it was their decision that made them slowly approach the skull fossil. To be continued...
