Chapter 1086

President Sima sneered at this: "Laodu, don't think about it. Let's not say that it's just a legend. There are many flaws in it. Let's say that there are no gods in the world!"

Duyile retorted: "since there is no immortal, how can we make such a magic sword with the skill of the Qin Dynasty?"

President Sima said: "what's the matter? At that time, it wasn't long before the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period when a hundred schools of thought were contending. Some of the techniques that seem incredible now haven't completely disappeared. It's normal to make such sharp tools. As for what we think is incredible now, it is because technology has not yet developed to that level. After a few years of technological development, this problem will be solved. "

Du Yile smiles and shakes his head: "anyway, I think it's really incredible that the current technology can't reach the level of more than 2000 years ago."

Yu renpeng also stood on the side of President Sima and said: "I can't say that. If science and technology were so developed at that time, how could they not do some of our machinery and equipment now? After all, it's just a few exceptions. "

Chuchen said with a smile: "it's nothing to argue about. It's thousands of years ago. We don't have the ability to go back to the past. Who knows what happened at the beginning? I also think it's the technology brought by the alien's visit to our planet. "

Listening to Chu Chen's words, everyone laughed. Just like Chu Chen's words, previous studies are OK. It's a waste of energy to get to the bottom of some historical mysteries. Of course, if you like to study, don't mention it.

"By the way, there's another question. How to deal with the water sucked up?" Duyile asked.

After listening to this question, Yu renpeng and President Sima didn't understand it at first.

Chuchen said with a smile: "I think it should be from the hilt. However, the hilt of this sword is wrapped by the outer layer of iron sheet. We need to use equipment to check it, and then take it out properly."

Everyone agreed. Dean Sima said quickly, "curator Chu, the equipment over there is very advanced. Do you want to take Chixiao to me for testing?"

"Cut!" Duyile sneered: "your equipment is advanced, but my equipment is not advanced? Besides, I have some newly imported instruments here. You don't have them, do you? "

"Er..." President Sima choked on this. At this time, he remembered that Chu Chen was a big boss with a background and money. Now the equipment of this laboratory is built according to the world's top standards. Compared with this, his own equipment is totally playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong's door!

Seeing Dean Sima's shriveled appearance, everyone would smile and feel happy. President Sima is a good man, but he always tries to get things to the Forbidden City, which is really unbearable to all of us. Of course, he is totally devoted to the public, and we can't say much against him.

Next, we chatted a few words. Seeing that the weapon could not reach our own hands, Dean Sima could only reluctantly turn the topic to the imperial seal.

After discussing the details, we drafted and signed a formal agreement to wait until the museum closes before transferring the national treasure.

When he signed his name on the agreement, Dean Sima showed a happy smile. He said to Chu Chen with a smile: "director Chu, I heard that you are going to visit southern Yunnan?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, I'll be ready to leave the day after tomorrow. You don't want me to bring anything, do you?"

Dean Sima laughed: "ha ha, the umbrella mushroom over there tastes very good. I really want you to help me bring some back."

Chu Chen said, "you said chicken mushroom, right? No problem. I'll definitely bring you a few catties back. What else can I do for you?"

"How do you know I have something else to do?" President Sima asked with a smile.

"Hey, hey, I don't know. You won't let me bring some chicken mushrooms, will you?" Chuchen said with a smile.

"Why not?"

Dean Sima said seriously. Seeing Chu Chen's silly eyes, he just laughed and said, "let's get down to business. I have a clue."

"What? Is there such a thing Not only chuchen but also other people were surprised to hear that it was this.

Dean Sima waved his hand: "I just got some clues about this. One of my friends said that he once talked with one of his friends about this kind of legendary thing. According to the other party, his ancestors got this kind of glue, but what happened? My friend just thought he was bragging and didn't ask much."

Chu Chen immediately asked, "is your friend in southern Yunnan?"

President Sima replied, "yes, he lives in Chuncheng."

"Well, I'll visit him when I get to South Yunnan." Anyway, now that he had a clue and was on his way, Chu Chen had to go and have a look.

"This is his address. Before you go, you should call him and say that I introduced you to him. Then he will know. But don't worry. He's been traveling to England recently. It's estimated that he won't come back until a week later. You can travel first, and then go to him when you get back to spring city. "With that, President Sima handed a note to Chu Chen.

"OK, I see. Thank you..."

…………

The next day, the sky began to drizzle, summer also dissipated.

As Chu Chen promised the old man to help him identify things, after breakfast, he said goodbye to his family and went to the antique shop alone.

Before going, Chu Chen called the museum and asked about the number of tourists today. The fact is similar to what he thought yesterday. The number of tourists has been greatly reduced, but even so, there are still more people queuing up at the scene, but it is not so crowded and there is no need to limit the passenger flow.

If the passenger flow suddenly plummeted, Chu Chen would be in a bit of a hurry. Now he is quite satisfied with the result

After parking the car, Chu Chen went to the antique shop. When he got to the door, he happened to meet the old man who came the day before yesterday.

The old man's name was Du Zhonglin. After greeting Chu Chen, he was embarrassed and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm so sorry to let you come here so early."

Chuchen said with a smile, "it's OK. When you called me, I was already on my way. Come on, let's go in. "

"OK..."

Chu Chen greets Zhou Wenping and the guests in the store while taking Du Zhonglin to the reception room. Just at this time, a guest suddenly made a noise and asked Chu Chen to wait.

The guest said with a smile: "Miss Chu, can you give me some advice?"

The guest, surnamed Qi, is a regular customer of chuchen's antique shop. He has bought more than one hundred and two hundred thousand things. Although the things in chuchen's shop are not very cheap, he just wants to be at ease. In his words, as long as they are genuine, they will make money in one or two years.

Chuchen said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know what advice you want me to give you."

Mr. Yuan pointed to the two antiques beside him and said, "well, I like these two things, but the sum of these two things has exceeded my budget. I can't make up my mind to choose one of them, so I want to ask you for your advice."

Chu Chen looked at the two things he pointed to, one is the lotus stone statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the other is the red sandalwood niche.

There are different opinions about the essence of Furong jade or Furong stone. Some say it is crystal, others say it is Lantian jade.

In the market, Furong has become a commodity symbol, representing a lot of jade products of Furong color (usually pink series), including pink crystal, Pink Agate, pink Lantian jade, and even pink Dushan jade, etc. It seems that as long as the pink jade can be named Furong.

These concepts are often blurred by some bad businesses, so buyers must confirm before they buy. You know, different varieties have different prices. For example, the emerald of Hibiscus is much more expensive than Hibiscus stone.

As for how to distinguish, we must take the name on the standard identification certificate as the criterion.

The Furong stone in chuchen is a kind of powder crystal. It is a kind of rose red or rose red, very enviable compact quartz, also known as "Rose Quartz", "Rose Quartz", "Furong jade", "Xiangnan jade", a kind of quartz.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to see the best powder crystal, and the market price is not very expensive. However, the powder crystal used in this statue has strong luster, good transparency, starlight effect, and large size. It is 31 cm high, which can be called the best of powder crystal. It can be said that you can meet it but not get it.

The material is good, and the carving is also very good. The statue of Guanyin looks kind and lifelike, which is no worse than the craftsmen of the palace building office in the Qianlong period. Of course, it seems that the production of this Buddha statue was a little late, and Chu Chen thought that it should be in the late Qing Dynasty.

The other niche is the masterpiece of the authentic Qianlong palace building office. It is not only made of fine red sandalwood, but also exquisite and beautiful in texture. The carving is exquisite and transparent, with strong three-dimensional sense and sharp knife technique. It should be made by skilled craftsmen in Rongzhou.

The whole shrine has strict laws, grand and solemn, and its edges and corners are painted with gold to add to its wealth. It is indeed a masterpiece of the Qianlong palace. The Qing emperors described it as an important tool for worshiping and worshiping the Buddha.

One of them is a fine piece made by the palace office, and the other is made of the best material. It's also made by a skillful craftsman. It's of the same value and is very rare. For all the people who like it, it's really easy to pick one from them.

Chu Chen looked at these two things and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know which one you like better?"

Mr. Yuan laughs: "I like both of them very much. I want to take them home."

Chuchen said with a smile, "why don't you just buy them back?"

Mr. Yuan said: "I just bought a house. If I buy both of them, the capital will be a little tight, so I'd like to ask you to help me choose."

"If you want me to say that these two things are very good, it's really difficult to choose one of them." Chu Chen seems to be in a bit of a dilemma. If he chooses one of the two things, he must point out the shortcomings of one of them. Which Seller will do this kind of thing?Seeing this, Mr. Yuan quickly said: "Mr. Chu, I also know that this matter is a bit presumptuous. You can rest assured that I will buy the rest when I raise some money in one or two months."

Considering that Mr. Yuan was an old client, Chu Chen nodded his head and agreed. He pondered for a moment and said, "well, if I were you, I would choose this shrine."

"Why?" Mr. Yuan asked.

Chu Chen explained: "you see, the door of this niche is opposite, and the front is embossed with the pattern of crane and deer in spring. The crane is the immortal bird, and the deer is the auspicious animal, which symbolizes the peace of the country and the people, the harmony of the government and the people. On the back, there is a gold relief depicting "Yan Yi Yang Yi Mou feels deep frost dew, Jun Ben long worship elegant set crown clothes", in order to seek the prosperity of children and grandchildren

"The meaning of this niche is so auspicious. You bought a new house again. It's just right!"

Chu Chen's explanation not only avoided pointing out the shortcomings of the other Avalokitesvara, but also made Mr. Yuan's face happy. He said, "then I'll choose this niche. In addition, thank you, Mr. Chu, for your kind words."

Chuchen ha ha a smile, even way polite, and then with Du Zhonglin came to the reception room, and made a cup of tea for him..

Du Zhonglin said with a smile: "teacher Chu, can I ask you how to distinguish the lotus stone?"

"No problem."

Chu Chen explained: "generally speaking, because natural powder crystals are naturally born from the earth, most crystals usually have defects such as content, natural ice cracks, clouds and color band changes, while artificial powder crystals are synthesized and condensed by factories or laboratories, and the crystals produced are almost perfect. It's a way to distinguish between man-made and natural powder crystals. "

Hearing this, Du Zhonglin asked: "is there no exception? I think that Guanyin statue just now looks very transparent. "

Chu Chen shook his head: "the transparent powder crystal used in the statue just now is very rare, and if you look at it carefully, you can see the defects. I can say that natural powder crystals are almost impossible to be flawless. "

Du Zhonglin's lips trembled when he heard this.

Chu Chen asked in a hurry, "are you ok?"

Du Zhonglin waved his hand and said, "it's OK. Go on."

"All right."

Chu Chen continued: "in addition, pure natural powder crystal feels cool and has weight. Synthetic crystal feels gentle and light. And Now the most popular synthetic crystal on the market is artificial secondary synthetic crystal. Therefore, we should pay attention to whether it is accompanied by national identification certificate when we buy it, so as to prevent counterfeiting. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Du Zhonglin was very sad. He took out a box from his cloth bag, pushed it to Chu Chen, and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Chu, the material I use for this thing should be synthetic powder crystal, right?"

Judging from Du Zhonglin's performance just now, Chu Chen knew that he should have bought a piece of synthetic powder crystal. When he opened the box, he found that the powder crystal ornaments on the surface were as transparent as glass. They were certainly not made of natural powder crystal.

Chu Chen put things back and said, "it's really not natural powder crystal."

"Ah Du Zhonglin often sighed. After a while, he said dejectedly, "Mr. Chu, please help me to have a look at this thing."

With that, he took out a big box and carefully took out a plum vase from Longquan kiln.

As soon as Chu Chen fixed his eyes, his expression became solemn. He took the bottle into his hand and had a rough look. He thought it should be a plum bottle made in Longquan kiln of Yuan Dynasty, which is very rare.

Why? This is because most of the porcelains fired in the Yuan Dynasty are large-scale ones, and the exquisite ones are rare. This piece of green glazed iron spot exposed mold of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty, which is printed with the figure of Eight Immortals crossing the sea, is rare in terms of its shape, glaze color, pattern, and unique exposed craft, and can be called the treasure of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

In particular, it is worth noting that the plum vase, as a highly practical and enjoyable tool, was rarely seen in the Longquan kiln of Yuan Dynasty. What's more, the body of the bottle was made of eight pieces of porcelain. The firing process is much more complicated than that of the drawing process. In addition, it was decorated with the process of die printing and gold, and it is rich in Taoist color, which makes it more rare.

Looking at this plum vase, there are eight patterns of Ruyi cloud head and eight trigrams on the shoulder, iron spots on the corner of the shoulder, eight groups of Kaiguang on the belly, eight patterns of immortals on the high relief inside Kaiguang, and many immortals floating on the sea. The figures are vivid and the patterns are clear, especially the residual gold decoration. Eight groups of folded flowers were printed on the bottle neck. The green glaze is a rare masterpiece of Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty.

But Chu Chen carefully looked at the eight immortals on the plum vase, but he was disappointed. Even if he didn't read the vase carefully, he could be sure that it was a fake.

Du Zhonglin stares at the expression on Chu Chen's face tightly. Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, he can't help but "clatter" in his heart. He quickly asks, "teacher Chu, is there something wrong with this thing?"

Chu Chen sighed. He didn't answer directly. He asked, "Mr. old man, do you know who the eight immortals were in the Yuan Dynasty?"

Du Zhonglin asked strangely, "Eight Immortals? Isn't that Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, tie guaili, LV Dongbin, he Xiangu, LAN Caihe and uncle Cao? What's the problem? ""Wrong..." Chu Chen shook his head and explained, "the eight immortals of the Yuan Dynasty are not the eight."

Among them, water fairy at the end of the fourth part of Lu Dongbin's three drunk Yueyang Tower by Ma Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty introduces the Eight Immortals in turn in the tone of LV Dongbin: "the first one is Han Zhong Liquan, who is now in charge of the group of immortals; this one is tie Guai Li, whose hair is disorderly combed; this one is Lan Caihe, who withdraws Yunyang wood; this one is Zhang Guolao, who rides down a donkey on Zhaozhou Bridge; this one is Xu Shenweng, This is Han Xiangzi, Han Yu's nephew; this is Cao Guojiu, a relative of the Song Dynasty; then I'm Lu Chunyang, who loves to play Jian Ziyu drum. "

The eight immortals mentioned above are all male. There is no he Xiangu among the eight immortals, but there is a Xu Shenweng.
