As the saying goes, you can't see jade without the sun, and you can see beauty under the moon. This is not only an ancient saying, but also an axiom recognized by the gem industry. Only when there is sufficient sunlight can you identify whether jade contains impurities.

However, Wang Guan now did the opposite, looking at the jade seal under the moonlight, but it had a different charm. After watching it with interest for a moment, he continued to take out the water-dotted peach blossom cup and the hibiscus flower porcelain bowl, and placed them next to the jade seal.

beside.

The highest quality porcelain has always been called fake jade. Mao porcelain has obviously reached this standard. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the luster of the white porcelain body can actually complement the jade seal, and is not inferior at all.

At this time, Wang Guan was still not satisfied, so he casually took out Ma Shaoxuan's inner-painted pot and placed it with the jade seal and woolen porcelain. However, due to the difference in fetal quality, the luster emitted by the glass inner-painted pot was relatively inferior.

One step ahead.

Of course, it is undeniable. Watching the exquisite plum blossom murals in the inner painting pot under the moonlight, the hazy scenery is more poetic and picturesque.

"Good things are good things, and they are always pleasing to the eye no matter when you watch them."

Originally, Wang Guan wanted to take out the Daxia Longque Knife and compare it with a few things on the bed. However, he thought that the knife was a murder weapon and it might not ruin the mood, so he gave up the idea.

However, Wang Guan immediately thought of the big pearl and quickly took out the brocade box from the corner of the suitcase.

After opening the brocade box, Wang Guan held the big round pearl in his palm. At this moment, the pearl seemed to have infinite attraction. It attracted a piece of moonlight. Under the soft light of snow, it reflected his palm.

They all became white.

Arrange the beads side by side with several items on the bed. Among them, the light of the beads is the most dazzling, faintly suppressing the luster of jade seals and porcelain.

In an instant, Wang Guancai finally understood that the word "jewelry" was indeed a very accurate description. He also understood why women were so interested in luminous jewelry. Because at this time, he also felt a little excited.

Wang Guan watched carefully. Gradually he could not tell whether the light emitted by several objects was the reflection of moonlight or their own luster.

Thinking of this, Wang Guan's heart moved and he turned off the incandescent lights in the room.

For a moment, the room went dark, and when Wang Guan's eyes adjusted, he could immediately see the light of jade seals, porcelain, beads intertwined with the bright moonlight, interweaving into a bright and gorgeous light.

Such a scene left an indelible impression on Wang Guan. To a certain extent, it also became one of his beliefs to go further on the road of collecting.

At the same time, Wang Guan was a bit like a greedy miser. He threw himself on the bed, hugged several items in his arms, and started to enjoy them admiringly.

After a while, while Wang Guan was playing with the beads, he felt a little tired from the lying position, so he naturally turned over and lay on his back, slightly raising the beads with his arms, so that the beads faced the moonlight and reflected a gorgeous brilliance.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Wang Guan noticed that a winding texture seemed to appear on the beads under the moonlight. At first, he thought it was his imagination, but after looking carefully, he found that there really was something like this inside the beads.

Shadows exist.

"What's going on?"

Wang Guan quickly turned over and sat up, holding the bead in his hand and observing it carefully. He saw that the bead was round and bright, with a bright luster and very crystal clear. There were no zigzag lines anywhere.

"You can't be wrong."

Wang Guan frowned and lay down again. He raised the bead and looked at it in the moonlight. In an instant, a curved shadow texture appeared inside the bead.

"Invisible cracks..."

For a moment, Wang Guan immediately thought of this possibility. He felt that the pearl had been squeezed by external forces, causing some hidden cracks inside.

"What a pity." Wang Guan frowned slightly.

Wang Guan is well aware of the horror of invisible cracks. Although this bead is safe and sound now, one day the cracks inside the bead will spread and the whole bead will naturally crack into pieces.

However, Wang Guan also felt a little strange. After all, invisible cracks usually appear in jade, crystal and the like. Pearls are formed by the secretion of mussels, so the inside of the beads should be very tight. Under normal circumstances, if a pearl

Under the pressure of huge external force, it usually breaks directly, and it is difficult for invisible cracks to appear.

Wang Guan was confused and continued to shake his head in regret.

Of course, he did not suspect that the Wu family and his son deliberately used this pearl with invisible cracks to fool themselves. After all, pearls are opaque. If they were not scanned with professional instruments, or simply looked at the light while lying on the bed like himself,

It is difficult to detect the internal conditions of the pearl.

Besides, the Wu family and his son are sincere in apologizing. How dare they play any tricks. Otherwise, Yu Feibai will bring disaster to the Wu family in his anger. The Wu family and his son cannot afford such consequences, and they absolutely cannot

Don't dare to try.

"It is estimated that the things were not necessarily bought by the Wu family and his son, but were bribes given to Wu Zixiong by others."

Wang Guan sighed secretly, feeling that he was a little unlucky. If only the invisible cracks in the beads were not discovered, then he could sell the beads at a certain time with peace of mind, or give them to others.

But now, knowing that there is something wrong with the beads inside, Wang Guan feels a little inappropriate whether he is selling or giving them away. In the final analysis, his heart is not dark enough.

While sighing, Wang Guan turned on his special ability and prepared to see clearly how serious the invisible cracks in the beads were. If the cracks were not serious, at most they would have some impact on the price, but they would not be a big discount.

However, the moment Wang Guan used his special ability to stare at the bead, a brilliant purple-gold light, like the dazzling rays of the sun at noon, completely dazzled his eyes.

After a long while, Wang Guancai gradually came back to his senses, and he was filled with surprises. He always thought that this bead was a modern product, and he never thought of turning on his special ability to see it. He didn't expect that he would miss it.

From the purple-gold light emanating from the bead, Wang Guan was certain that the bead had a very long history, even older than the era of the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword.

But when this happens, problems arise.

As far as Wang Guan knows, pearls will generally turn into ordinary yellow after decades, and will lose their beautiful and unique pearl luster. Even if some methods can be used to restore the crystal clear, charming luster of pearls

Color. However, this method also requires paying a certain price, which causes the pearls to wear away the fine shell on the surface.

But after thousands of years of inheritance, the beads are still so crystal clear and jade-like, which is a bit strange.

Or maybe thousands of years ago, this pearl was the size of a fist. However, after being passed down from generation to generation and constantly worn, it became the current size of two to three centimeters in diameter...

Wang Guan was thinking wildly, and after a while he concentrated his attention and continued to use his special ability to look at the beads in his hand.

At first glance, Wang Guan immediately discovered that there was indeed a crack inside the bead. However, this crack was very strange and seemed to be very regular.

"Strange."

Wang Guan was completely stunned. You must know that invisible cracks have no rules. When they crack, they are like cracking open the shell of a hard-boiled egg, with messy lines like spider webs appearing.

However, Wang could see clearly that the cracks inside the bead were clearly a line from beginning to end, but this line was a little winding.

"One, two, three...seven, eight, nine!"

At this time, Wang Guan calculated and found that the internal lines of the bead had nine bends. After coming to this conclusion, he felt an inexplicable familiar feeling, as if he was reminded of something.

"Beads...nine curves...nine curved beads!"

In an instant, Wang Guan blurted out. His chaotic thoughts were sorted out, and he felt as if he could clear the clouds and see the sun.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, there are nine melodies in the beads that make the ants understand them."

A flash of excitement flashed across Wang Guan's eyes, and he immediately thought of the allusion of Confucius's orb passing through ants.

It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was trapped when passing by the State of Chen. The official of the State of Chen sent someone to send a nine-curved pearl for Confucius to pass through with a thread. If he could not pass through it, the siege would not be lifted. Confucius was very smart and tied the silk thread.

On the ant's body, and luring it with honey fat, the ant passed through the Jiuqu Bead and finally escaped smoothly.

When he first saw this allusion, Wang Guan naturally thought that the Jiuqu Pearl was just a legend. But now that he saw the orderly Jiuqu cracks inside the bead in his hand, he couldn't help but doubt it.

The reason why I am still doubtful is because of the legendary nine-curved bead, which runs through both ends. But on the bead that Wang Guan is holding now, the nine-curved pattern only exists on the inside of the bead.

"Is it just a coincidence?"

Wang Guan frowned and concentrated on observing more intently.

Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so. After getting serious, Wang Guan immediately discovered that the two ends of the nine-curved hole in the bead seemed to have been blocked with a substance similar to the bead itself.

Because the hole ends are so small, and the blocking material is perfectly concealed, it can be said to be a perfect fit. After all, the beads themselves are opaque, and the so-called crystal clear is just a description. The same material is used to plug up the toothpick-sized holes on the beads.

, then there is no clue at all with the naked eye.

Wang Guan couldn't help but be happy after discovering this blind trick, and he could basically conclude that this bead was the legendary Nine-Bend Bead.

At this moment, although Wang Guan wanted to take a thin needle and remove the material blocking the beads, he really didn't have a needle on hand, and it was hard to borrow it from Mr. Qian and Gao Dequan.

There was no other way, so Wang Guan could only hold the Jiuqu Bead and spend the night tossing and turning. Most of the night, he was in a state of excessive excitement and insomnia, and he fell asleep at dawn.

When Wang Guan opened his eyes, he realized that it was already past nine o'clock. Then he got up lazily, brushed his teeth and washed his face in a daze. Under the stimulation of cold water, he finally woke up completely.

After thinking about it, Wang Guan put away the Jiuquzhu and hid it carefully before opening the door and going downstairs. When he arrived at the hall, he immediately saw Mr. Qian and Gao Dequan drinking tea in the hall.

In addition, there is a strange middle-aged man...
