Unexpectedly, this clue that seemed to have disappeared in history could be found so easily!
The string of Buddhist beads as a token of friendship finally fell into the hands of the descendants of Princess Gaoyang. Of course, this is a very understandable thing...
After that, Danxuan took his leave for a while and asked a young monk to accompany him back to Tianfa Temple.
After half a day, Danxuan returned to Chen Zhi again.
This time he brought back a box wrapped in yellow silk cloth. The box looked square, about the size of a lunch box.
The cloth wrapped on it is a bit old, and it can be seen that it has not been touched in the past twenty years.
Danxuan had not slept well during this period, and his face was still a little pale. He waved his hand and asked the young monk to go back, and then returned to the closed room with Chen Zhi and the others.
"This is it!",
Danxuan put the box tied with yellow silk in the middle of the table:
"When my father passed it on to me, he wasn't sure where it came from.
It is only said that it was passed down from the ancestors very early. It is said that it is the favorite thing of Princess Gaoyang and is placed together with the royal jade plate.
As for the authenticity of this thing, no one has verified it, and in fact no one cares.
I have always kept it as my father's relic. After my father passed away, I never opened it and looked at it. I didn't expect that it would actually come in use..."
After Danxuan finished speaking, he opened the yellow satin outside the package, revealing the wooden box inside.
The box was an ordinary open square wooden box with only one layer and was not locked. After opening the lid, the string of hand-held prayer beads inside was revealed.
It was indeed the string of wooden beads seen in the image, but it was even more old and broken than it was then.
There is also a layer of patina on this Buddhist bead, which looks shiny and shiny, just like black agate.
Patching is a professional term in the antiques industry. It refers to the oxide layer formed on the surface of cultural relics due to long-term oxidation. It is actually "gloss".
After being played with for a long time, Buddhist beads will form a special layer of luster on the surface, which is called "plate beads" by insiders.
The patina on the beads cannot be deceived. A knowledgeable person can see the age-old patina at a glance, and it cannot be imitated by future generations.
It can be seen that a long time ago, the owner of this Buddhist beads cherished this object very much. He rubbed it over and over again in his hands, and finally melted his own fat and skin flakes with the surface of the beads to form such a thick layer.
patina.
Fat Wei was a knowledgeable person. He looked at the string of Buddhist beads with greedy eyes and wanted to touch them with his hands, but after thinking for a long time he didn't dare to touch them. He turned to look at Chen Zhi and motioned for him to get them.
After Chen Zhi obtained Danxuan's permission, he picked up the string of beads and weighed them in his hands.
It was a string of very heavy wooden beads. The beads were very large. They were typical ancient handicrafts.
There are obvious differences between ancient things and modern things.
There was no mass industry at that time and everything was made from handmade products.
After all, the number of handicraft workshops is limited, and they are divided into two types: royal ones and official ones. As for the folk ones, they are generally relatively rough, and many of them are made by the common people themselves.
This string of prayer beads looks like it is made of red branch wood from the border area. This kind of wood has large gaps. It is not a precious wood and has no advantages other than being resistant to damage.
Moreover, the processing technology is quite rough, some beads are not polished into a perfect circle, and some are missing.
Chen Zhi took out a magnifying glass and looked at the details on the beads.
There are several circles of fine lines in the inner hole of this bead, and there are faint marks on it. It can be seen that the thread inside has been re-threaded several times.
The surface of the wood was full of big cracks and scars, obviously exposed to the sun and frozen.
It can be guessed that its original owner took him through thousands of rivers and mountains and went through many hardships.
"With this, it will be much more convenient...".
Chen Zhi raised his head and looked at Danxuan,
“But you still need to wait for a while, it requires a process.
I will first ask technicians to scrape off some residue on the beads to see if they can find fat or skin tissue from the human body in the past.
If successful, I will use the method just now to show you the image of the owner of the beads during his lifetime!
This Buddhist bead must have been given to Princess Gaoyang by her lover, and there should be remnants of his lover on it.
By that time, we will be able to determine who this person is and everything will be clear..."
"Really?",
Faced with this sudden news, Dan Xuan couldn't believe it:
"That means I'll get the answer in a few days, right?"
"right!",
Chen Zhi nodded gently and replied:
"But I personally don't think there will be any change in the outcome, as we have inferred in the past.
Because we have eliminated everyone through the elimination method, no matter how unacceptable the results are, they are still facts!
What we are doing now is just to finally confirm this fact!
Hope you can accept it!"
"good!",
Danxuan closed his eyes, twisted his beads and said,
"No matter what, it's good to have a result! As long as it's a real result!"
In the next few days, Danxuan did not return to Tianfa Temple, but stayed here, waiting for the staff to complete the process.
This test is really not that complicated. In the words of Professor Liao's disciple, during this period they were almost picking out living cells from ancient corpses.
It is very difficult to find residues on Buddhist beads that are more than 1,300 years old, and restrictive biotechnology is almost required.
And these days, Chen Zhi is not doing well either.
He didn't know why, but after seeing the string of beads, he started to have nightmares at night.
The dream was also blurry, and I couldn't see anything clearly. It seemed like there was darkness everywhere.
But Chen Zhizhi clearly felt that the surroundings around him were very hot, and the hot gravel under his feet felt like being roasted on a stove. His throat was very thirsty, but there was no water to drink.
And in front of him, there will always be a group of shadows. The shadow looks very strange, like a human but not like a human.
It always flashes before Chen Zhi's eyes, and his movements are very fast.
When he first touched Chen Zhi's cheek, Chen Zhi felt that the hair on the shadow's face was like a furry animal!
At this time, there was always a sound passing back and forth in my ears.
The voice was very hoarse and painful, and it sounded heartbreaking:
