Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 3 My dear! This is not fashionable.

Zixuan treasure appraisal live broadcast room!
The connection is connected, good luck.

Chen Jie didn't say any unnecessary nonsense and got straight to the point:

"Hello, Teacher Zixuan. I have something here, but I don't know what it is. I want you to help me take a look."

finished,

Chen Jie placed the red jade pendant in his hand under the camera.

at this time,

'Catfish Teacher' on the live broadcast screen opened his eyes wide and showed his signature shocked expression.

"Oh my god! My dear, where did this thing come from?"

Chen Jie had watched Teacher Catfish's live broadcast several times, so he naturally knew that it was the rule for the other party to ask about the origin of the jade.

There are rules!

If the origin of an item is not genuine, people in the treasure appraisal industry will not appraise it.

Of course, anyone holding a treasure can make up an excuse to fool people, but as a treasure appraiser, he has to ask.

Otherwise, if he violates the rules, he will be implicated.

Chen Jie replied: "This thing was passed down from my ancestors."

Teacher Catfish laughed and said, "How come your ancestors passed down a 'stupid eye'?"

Chen Jie was stunned. Isn't this a jade pendant? How did it become "stupid"?

Although he didn't know much about jade, he knew that this red jade was called "peace locket"!
Chen Jie was surprised when he heard this: "Teacher, isn't this a 'peace locket'? Why is it called 'lack of heart'?"

Teacher Catfish smiled and said, "Look at the center of the jade. Is there a missing eye? Isn't this the meaning of 'missing the heart'?"

Chen Jie nodded suddenly. So there is such a name for "peace locket"?
But this thing is indeed missing a trick.

Chen Jie continued to ask: "Teacher Zixuan, what exactly is this thing? Is it worth money?"

Who cares about his stupidity?

What Chen Jie is most concerned about now is whether this thing is valuable?

If it is a real antique and is valuable, sell it.

This was Chen Jie's inner thought: saving Lao Chen's life first was the most important thing.

Teacher Catfish smiled, thought for a moment, and said:

"This thing is called blood jade. Have you heard of it? Do you know how blood jade is formed?"

Chen Jie has never studied this thing, so how would he know this?

He shook his head and asked, "How is blood jade formed?"

Teacher Catfish said seriously, "Generally speaking, blood jade in the past was used as a burial object after a person died."

Chen Jie suddenly felt a buzzing in his head.

Is this thing a burial object?
Teacher Catfish continued seriously:

"This kind of jade was not originally red, and was worn by the deceased before being placed in the coffin!"

Chen Jie looked carefully at the red jade in his hand and said in surprise: "Why is mine so red? It feels cold in my hand!"

Teacher Catfish laughed and explained:

"Don't be anxious. Let me explain. Think about it. The jade is placed in the coffin. In the past, people buried the body in the ground. Wouldn't the body decay?"

"And generally speaking, the dye used to dye clothes was also red."

"The blood from the decayed corpse and the dye from the clothes merged together to form a blood-melted state. The jade has been immersed in this blood."

"Due to the special environment underground, flesh and blood do not decay very quickly. After many years, the jade will slowly turn red after being soaked in it."

"This is the true formation process of blood jade, do you know?"

At this time,

Many viewers in the live broadcast room were completely shocked after hearing this.

"Impossible? So scary? Isn't the blood black after a person dies?" "What the host said is true. The formation of blood jade is related to corpses. In the past, when people died, they would hold jade in their mouths. When they finally breathed their last, the jade would flow down their throats into their stomachs. After hundreds or thousands of years underground, the blood would seep into the jade and form the unique 'blood jade'!"

"I remember watching a documentary that said the formation of 'blood jade' is to cut a hole in a lamb's leg with a knife, then put the jade in, and then sew up the wound with thread. After a few years, the jade will be soaked with blood and become blood jade!"

"Using living things, it must be artificial blood jade, right? We also have a saying there, put animal blood in a bottle, then soak the jade in it, bury it in the soil for three years, and it will basically turn red."

"When a person dies, the blood solidifies. How can it turn into bloody water?"

"The environment underground is different. I can't go into too much detail, hahaha, lest you get scared!"

"It's just 'blood jade', how can it be so complicated? I have done it before. I just burn the jade until it is red, and then stuff it into the body of a sheep. It will become 'blood jade' in a few months."

"Is the real 'blood jade' valuable?"

"This thing has a bad connotation, no one should buy it. Who would dare to want something from a dead person?"

"It's hard to say. Some people like to collect this stuff. If it's real, the price should be quite high."

"Legend has it that 'blood jade' is spiritual."

"Fuck, I have a piece of this 'blood jade' at home, and it's said to have been passed down for five generations. Hearing the host say that, I got really nervous."

"—"

After listening to this, Chen Jie felt a little confused.

He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Teacher Zixuan, is this 'blood jade' suitable for wearing?"

What Chen Jie cares about most is whether this thing is worth money.

If it is not popular to wear, then its value will definitely drop greatly and it will be worthless.

Teacher Catfish said calmly, "My dear, think about it. In the past, corpses were lying in coffins with this thing on their bodies. If you were wearing this thing, could you sleep soundly?"

Chen Jie's head thumped: "——"

Teacher Catfish laughed and said jokingly, "The problem with this thing is that if he wears it and closes his eyes, he won't be able to wake up the next day! Hahahaha!"

Chen Jie sighed and shook his head helplessly:

"The teacher said that because this thing is not popular and not valuable!"

Waiting for nothing!
Chen Jie suddenly lost interest.

Teacher Catfish smiled and said, "What I just said is the true formation of blood jade!"

Chen Jie frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Teacher, do you mean that this blood jade is fake?"

No way?
The thing that Lao Chen treated as a treasure and locked in the bedside table turned out to be a fake "blood jade"?
But think about it, what does Lao Chen know about jade?
It would be strange if he had any 'antique' treasures.

Teacher Catfish explained seriously: "Let me tell you, my dear, in fact, before the last century, in Myanmar, Yunnan and Southeast Asia, there was a very mature jade dyeing process."

Chen Jie held the bright red 'blood jade' in his hand and said in surprise:
"Impossible? How could this be dyed? I just shone a light on it, and it was really red inside!"

Teacher Catfish said calmly: "That's right! The jade dyeing process is to dye it inside."

ah--?
Chen Jie was completely speechless, "Is that so?"

Teacher Catfish explained: "What you think of as a state where the color changes on the surface is called coating, not dyeing! Haha - that's a joke, my dear!"

finished,

He smiled and said, "Okay, my dear, is there anything else?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "That's all! Thank you, Teacher Zixuan!"

Teacher Catfish smiled and said: "Thank you for your support!"

After saying that, the connection was cut.

Chen Jie no longer paid attention to the live broadcast on the mobile phone screen, but turned his eyes to the "blood jade" in his hand!
Not so!

Is this thing fake?

He picked up the 'blood jade' again and held it up to the light.

How could such a bright red be fake?
boom--!
At this moment, the 'blood jade' suddenly emitted a red light, instantly enveloping Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was shocked and his face changed completely.

What’s going on—?
