Chapter 692

Although Zhao Bing did not give up, he could not think of any good idea after thinking about it. When he felt that there was no hope, things suddenly turned around. One day, Hao Yuntong asked for advice and found a strange case. The patient was a big food merchant who had his hair and beard lost during his stay in Qiongzhou, and then he was weak all over and had a continuous fever. However, he could not find any disease and tried to use medicine but did not improve. The doctor who was receiving the doctor was worried that it was an epidemic, so he reported it. After they still couldn't find it out, so he asked His Hon.

Zhao Bing knew that even the real doctors could not see it, and his eyes were even dark. But if he pushed it up, it would be too shameless, so he went to the Imperial Hospital to see the patient. He was shocked when he saw it. The big food merchant's head was gone, but his face turned pale and his lips were blue.

At first sight, Zhao Bing really made a mistake. He had seen this situation in his previous life. He was an operator in charge of welding flaw detection in the shipyard. Because he was exposed to radiation for a long time and did not pay attention to personal protection, he suffered from radiation diseases and eventually died of leukemia. But what surprised him was that the current emitted elements had not been discovered yet, and that thing was not something that anyone could touch when they wanted to, so he did not dare to make a conclusion.

So Zhao Bing asked tentatively, starting from the initial symptoms, and asking if he was engaged in a jewelry business. Because he knew that some radioactive minerals exist in gem raw materials in the form of inclusions, especially the chemical properties of zircon are very stable, so gem-grade can also be seen in the gravel of the river, and the gem-grade zircon after the zircon is very similar to diamonds, so it is not impossible to consider this aspect.

Unfortunately, Zhao Bing said one by one. He asked his companion if he had the same symptoms. The merchant shook his head and said that there was no. There was a craftsman who had a disease similar to him and had died before he set sail. In this way, Zhao Bing concluded that the Dashi merchant had radiation disease. What surprised him was that this "jewel" had very little firing ability. If it were not worn for a long time or touched for a long time, he would not have gotten sick?

Zhao Bing thought about it for a while and there was only one answer. That thing must be extremely precious, so the Dashi Merchant would hide be by my side to prevent it from being lost, but he didn't know that he was sleeping with the God of Death. After he figured out, he asked again, and it was Dashi Merchant's turn to be surprised. There was indeed a rare treasure hidden in his cabin, but he never mentioned it to anyone, even if his companions didn't know it, and the young man in front of him said it was not bad at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

When talking to people of this era about radioactivity exceeding the standard is equivalent to playing the piano against a cow. Zhao Bing can only change the statement, saying that this object is an evil object that eats people's essence and blood, which leads to both qi and blood loss, hair falls off, and weakness all over, and his life will be lost over time. The Dashi merchant hurriedly asked about the solution, but Zhao Bing didn't know how serious he was in disease, so he naturally didn't dare to say whether he was cured well or was about to die. The most urgent task is to stay away from this object and avoid harming himself, so he said that he could only isolate the "treasure" as soon as possible, and maybe he could still be saved.

The merchant loved money no matter how much he was, but he didn't care much about his life. The merchant of Dashi heard that he had sent the treasures with a slow and scrupulous manner. Zhao Bing did not dare to open them at that time, and ordered everyone to stay away. He asked Hao Yuntong to prescribe some medicines for blood and qi to let him go back and eat. As for whether he could recover, he could only leave it to fate. The merchant of Dashi saw that everyone was facing a great enemy of his "treasure". At first, he suspected that someone had used to defraud the treasures, but now he believed it eight cents, but took the medicine but left the treasures and left in a hurry.

Zhao Bing quickly ordered the Imperial Supervisor to create a wooden box lined with lead plate to seal the treasure box again, and then took it back to the palace after being isolated from the ray. He was also curious about what the invisible "baby" was. When he opened the inner box, he saw white light coming out from the inside, illuminating the slightly dim room. It turned out that this was actually an ostrich egg-sized night pearl. After closer inspection, it was actually a dragon-shaped core wrapped in it. He knew that no one in this era could use the means of filling out the notes to fake it, which seemed even more precious. No wonder the big food merchant looked at it without leaving his body.

Zhao Bing does not know much about what the night pearl is. He only knows that it is a luminous substance in the earth, which is composed of some luminous substances in the initial eruption of magma and later geological movements. The stones containing these luminous rare elements are processed and are what people call night pearls. The specific value is hard to say. He saw night pearls with a price of millions in his previous life in his jewelry store, and also saw the so-called night pearls that can be bought for dozens of yuan in a craft store.

In this era, Zhao Bing thought that the reason why the night pearl is precious is that things are precious! The piece in front of him is even more strange, with deadly radioactive elements. He was still a little hesitant about how to deal with it. Staying in the world is a disaster, and it is a pity to smash it. However, if you want to harm people, it is a good thing. God can kill people without knowing it, and there is no trace of it.

Zhao Bing had seen the mystery of cursed gems that were circulated in his previous life. One of them was a pure gold ornament with beetle-shaped gems that belonged to the famous Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. However, Tutankhamun died shortly after obtaining the ornament. He was less than twenty years old all year round. The scarab jewel was buried in his huge pure gold coffin.

Later, Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated by British archaeologists, and the treasure was reappeared. It was stolen by someone and spread in various channels in Egypt. First, a South African seaman won it from the gambling table and then brought it to South Africa. The seaman gave it to his daughter. Soon after, the seaman fell into the sea and died in a sea trip. On the fifth day after the seaman's body was washed to the beach on the coast, his daughter suddenly died of leukemia.

The seaman's wife believed that the scarab jewelry was cursed and would bring more bad luck to their family, so she resold it to a South African woman. Unfortunately, the South African woman's daughter also died of leukemia! The woman was extremely sad and prepared to sell the jewelry. The seller had found it. Just the night before the transaction between the two parties, her husband suddenly died in his sleep.

This jewelry was eventually sealed with a glass frame in Cairo Museum in Egypt. What exactly caused the owner to die of leukemia? No one can tell me that it was cursed by the king. However, some researchers said that the gem contains radioactive substances, which caused the wearer to be infected with radiation for a long time. The current situation is similar. The craftsman and the merchant were both infected with the disease...

As soon as his mind opened up, Zhao Bing felt that he might be a bad person in essence. The first thing he thought of was harming people, and he also thought of a new way to assassinate Kublai Khan. People say that when an emperor was in a luxurious and desperate situation, he often said that he liked to collect gems, not only to rob them by any means, but to even launch wars to plunder them. In fact, he felt that individuals basically liked these things, but they just didn't have the ability to get them. It is said that the Mongolian and Yuan royal family loved gems, and Genghis Khan once had a night pearl that could illuminate the entire tent without lighting a candle.

Now there are tools and methods to kill people, because once the Night Pearl is left, it will no longer be controlled by itself. How to ensure that it is sent to Kublai Khan, and it cannot be hidden deep in the warehouse. It is also difficult to let it be subject to radiation for a long time. You must know that the Mongols swept across Europe and Asia and had also entered the European and African continents. It can be said that countless countries were destroyed, and the robbed treasures were calculated by cars. I believe that there would be things like Night Pearl. It would be easy to make it take such an unknown bead as a treasure.

There are always more ways than difficulties. Besides, this is the most feasible method since Zhao Bing planned to kill Kublai Khan. He recalled some cases of merchants making money by speculation in his previous life. Those people could package cliff cypresses that were burnt as firewood and put them into sky-high prices. The most common mung beans in the vegetable market could also be sold out of stock. In addition, there were garlic, Pu'er tea, walnuts and nutria, etc. Anyway, these people were able to sell the least valuable things to the gold price. The speculation method was to exaggerate its role or make it related to celebrities, thereby increasing their value.

Zhao Bing felt that he could also learn from the methods of those unscrupulous merchants, so the idle people in the Hanlin Academy had something to do. He ordered these people to find out the legends about the Night Pearl and the anecdotes related to it in the past dynasties, and then report them quickly. The job of these people is to serve him and have fun, so they are naturally familiar with jewelry and antiques. In just two days, the relevant documents will be sent.

The rest was Zhao Bing. After carefully reading the document, he realized that the night pearl was called "Suizhu", "Hangzhu", "Hangzhi", "Mingyuezhu", etc. in ancient times, which were considered rare treasures. According to historical records, night pearls appeared as early as the prehistoric time when the Yan Emperor Shen family, such as the King of Stone Balls in Shennong, known as "Night Mine". In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as "Hangli" and "Hangzhi Wall", were priceless and comparable to Heshi Bi. At that time, only the great official Tao Laigong (Fan He) and Zhengdun (the great merchant in the Warring States Period) could afford it.

Jin State once used the "waisted thorn wall" as bait to "fake the head and Yu to replace the woven fabric". Doctors from Chu, Qin, Wei and other countries once used the night pearl to express philosophy to discuss national affairs. Qin Shihuang buried the night pearl with his life and "replace the candle" in the tomb. Guo Kuang, the younger brother of the Queen Guangwu of Han, "hangs the pearls and four hangings, looking at them like stars during the day, and looks like the moon at night" to show off his wealth. Wu Zetian gave the jade dragon to Xuanzong with the night pearl, and Xuanzong returned to Zi (Shizong) a clear pearl, which shone in a room. During the Tang Dynasty, a night pearl called "Water Bead" was sold for billions.

During this dynasty, the royal family also liked the night pearls and sent officials to Sri Lanka to buy ruby ​​night pearls and garnet night pearls. Among them were several emerald night pearls, with bright light like candles. But some people regarded it as treasures, while others abandoned it as shoes. In ancient times, some people did not recognize treasures and once abandoned it in the bay of Xuanli Night Shuiming. An old farmer in Wei State got the pearls as big as a stone. Seeing that the night light was terrifying, he threw it into the wilderness. Some people regarded the night pearls as "a disaster" and "beaten among the sand and stones."

Zhao Bing discovered that although some of them were just legends, Ye Mingzhu had already formed a culture in history with its beauty, nobility and mystery, so he had the material to make up stories. Shennong's "Night Mine" sounds famous, but the era is too long, and this era is not as famous as modern. After all, the term "Yanhuang descendants" has not yet appeared, and its reputation is not as positive as modern, so this is denied.

There are some legends that are valuable, but lack legendary colors and are not eye-catching enough; some are either the owner is not famous enough or too dull, making people feel possessive. Zhao Bing chose only the night pearl in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which is more suitable. In terms of fame, it is the emperor of the ages; and he is also domineering enough to unify the six kingdoms by virtue of martial arts. In addition, this thing is clearly recorded in historical records and has evidence, but it is not fabricated.

However, the bead of Qin Shihuang lacks legend, and everyone knows that it has been buried in the imperial tomb, so it is difficult to justify itself. But what is Zhao Bing doing? He just needs some materials, and the records of ancient books are often very simple. The description of beads is often followed in one sentence and not detailed. As for what the beads look like, there is no record of how big it is. Besides, there are enough legends left by Qin Shihuang, and just a little processing is a perfect story.

Of course, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Moreover, since the Genghis Khan era, the Mongol Yuan attached great importance to intelligence work. Nowadays, merchants and tourists from Qiongzhou are dense, and a large number of immigrants have entered, so it is difficult to guarantee that there are no Mongol spies. Therefore, Zhao Bing did not pretend to be others, but completed the work by himself. Therefore, this originally ordinary night pearl has a new origin.

The story originated from Xu Fu's first trip to sea to find immortals, but after Xu Fu came back, he reported that there were big sharks in the sea, which stopped him from looking for the gods. So Qin Shihuang personally took out his horse and shot sharks in the East China Sea. As a result, he got a huge night pearl from the belly of a shark that was shot. The light was as bright as a candle at night. It is said that this thing belongs to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. It is precisely because of this thing that can survive in the dark underwater Dragon King. In other words, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is entirely illuminated by the illumination of this bead.

As for Qin Shihuang's failure to live for a long time, it was precisely because he did not bring this night pearl with him during the inspection that he became ill. He buried it in the tomb to ensure that the body was not rotten and that he could be reborn. And now he appeared in the world. It was when Xiang Yu stole the imperial tomb after conquering Xianyang and was stolen and taken out of the tomb. In order to avoid disaster, the news about this night pearl also disappeared, leaving only rumors in the world.
