The Boy with The Dragon Tattoo

Chapter 189: Nine-eyed dzi

Views:

Niu Da and others took tools to chisel blastholes and put explosives on the boulder. The main hall clanged for a long time. After a while, the bull came out and shook his head and said: "The evil door, you can't knock. I don't know what the stone is. The gadget is too hard. After smashing it for a long time, it rubbed off a little."

Mo Laosan came up with an idea: "Or, let's knock from under the pedestal and dig a trench in the ground to see if we can put the explosives in?"

The explosive that Li Tianming and the others brought is called C4 plastic explosive. It is mostly used in the army. Although it is powerful, it is very safe to use. Even if you shoot at the explosive, it will not explode. It can only be detonated with a detonator.

The characteristic of C4 is that it has high plasticity, it can be kneaded like plasticine at will, made into various shapes, and even stuck on the door.

Mo Lao San's suggestion is that since the rock is abnormally hard, it is better to cut out a seam on the ground and stuff the explosive inside to detonate it.

Niu Da frowned and said, "Try it, the ground is also full of rocks, you may not be able to drill."

The whole boulder is embedded in the rock on the ground. Mo Laosan thought that there was only a little bit of the boulder buried under the foundation. He did not expect to go down more than a dozen centimeters and still couldn't see the edge of the boulder.

Niu Da gasped hard and wondered, "This huge boulder is at least tens of thousands of catties. How did it fit into such a deep foundation? Who has such a great skill?"

Mo Lao San said: "This is not difficult. First measure the size and dig a hole on the ground, then put a rolling log under the boulder, and push it all the way into the hole—there is a simpler way, here all year round. If snow is frozen, splashing water on the ground will freeze into ice in a while, and it will be much lighter to drag a boulder on the ice."

Niu Da said: "Even so, the road up the mountain is so steep, and people can't stand firmly. How did you carry such a huge rock to the mountain?"

Mo Laosan touched his chin and said, "I guess, this huge boulder was drawn on the spot and dragged directly over the mountain.

However, I have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years and I have never seen such a hard stone. Look at this stone, it is black, like iron and not gold... Could it be that this is the legendary Tibetan cold iron? If so, such a large piece of cold iron is worth old money! "

Li Tianming said coldly: "You can't move the precious treasure! Put the explosives quickly, explode the foundation, and see what's underneath!"

Li Tianming originally expected them to have at least a few days, but he didn't expect A Chong and Li Ziyang to follow up so quickly. According to this reasoning, the awakening group of people should be coming soon.

Although Su Rui said that before they went to the mountain, they had not had time to contact the awakened group of people, but Li Tianming didn't want to take any risks. He had to plan for the worst in everything.

Now, the hole leading to the dragon's nest is right in front of them, but they did not expect that at the critical moment, they were blocked by a stone again.

The rock below the boulder is also abnormally hard. Niu Da and the others have been digging for a long time, and the tiger’s mouth is cracking and panting. They only cut a groove of more than ten centimeters. According to this progress, if you want to pry the secret road below. , I'm afraid I will dig up to the year of the monkey.

Li Tianming and Mo Lao San had checked many times, and this huge rock was not connected to any institutions, presumably there was no plan to go in again after it was sealed. Therefore, if you want to open the secret path, you can only open it hard.

Niu Da looked at the depth of the groove and said: "This is almost the same. If you stuff explosives under this, it is absolutely no problem to open an opening."

Li Tianming slapped the boulder, "It's too long-winded, hurry up!"

When Uncle Li spoke, everyone did not dare to neglect, Niu Da took a few pieces of C4 explosives, pinched them together, stuffed them into the cut grooves, plugged in the detonator, connected the leads, and dragged the wires to the outside hall. .

Niu handed the detonator to Li Tianming. Li Tianming took it and pressed the button without looking.

After hearing a loud noise, everyone felt that the ground beneath them shook, and the main hall was filled with smoke and rubble was flying.

When Li Tianming detonated, there was no warning at all, and he didn't even have time to cover his ears. Zi Yang and others had their hands tied behind their backs, not to mention. Everyone felt pain in the eardrums, and there was a huge explosion in both ears. It was humming.

Niu Da waited for the smoke to dissipate, then went into the main hall, and came out after a while, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Li Tianming looked at him expectantly: "How is it?"

Niu Da shook his head and said, "It's strange, no, it didn't explode."

"How is it possible!" Li Tianming stared with one-eyed eyes, almost jumped up, and rushed into the main hall in three steps and two steps.

There were rubble everywhere in the hall, and through the smoke, I saw a pit the size of a bathtub exploded under the boulder. The boulder sat there nicely, still standing still, except that it was collapsed at the bottom corner of a sea bowl. Sunken.

Li Tianming was almost mad, "Get more explosives! Get them all!"

Niu Da reminded him: "Uncle Li, putting too much explosives may be dangerous. Not to mention that the tomb below will collapse, maybe our cave will..."

Li Tianming turned his head abruptly and looked at Niu Da with one eye open. His eyes were flushed with bloodshot eyes.

Niu Da shivered as he stared at him, and said hurriedly, "Yes, I will arrange explosives now!"

Niu Da rushed to the hall, took another pile of explosives from the table and ran back to the main hall.

Li Tianming walked back to the hall with a gloomy face, sitting there silently inhaling oxygen.

Zi Yang saw that Niu Da took several times the explosives this time, and he couldn't help but said worriedly: "You put so many explosives, aren't you afraid of causing an earthquake to collapse? Besides, we are on a snow-capped mountain several kilometers away with such a big movement. , It will definitely cause a large-scale avalanche, in case there are passers-by under the mountain..."

Li Tianming said coldly: "What about an avalanche? Anyway, we can't be buried. I just care about the glory and wealth in front of me, but the flood behind me!"

Zi Yang was silent when he heard it, everyone could see that Li Tianming was now in a state of madness. A few lives were nothing to him. In order to achieve his goal, he would not blink even if he lost hundreds of lives. Take a look.

Niu Da lay on the ground and carefully placed explosives under the boulder. Just now, there was a big gap in the sea bowl under the boulder, which could be used to plug C4 explosives. He had to calculate the explosive equivalent and the blasting angle. Try to be as foolproof as possible.

After Li Tianming took over Lord Ma, Niu Da also learned a few tricks from his master blasting master. He was very familiar with this directional blasting technique, but he had never encountered such a hard sealing stone.

Mo Laosan picked up a volleyball-sized stone from the ground and said nothing. Looking at the size of the stone, it should be the one that collapsed under the boulder just now—the stone is so hard that it hasn't been crushed by explosives.

Su Rui saw a strange and magnificent pattern where the stone broke, and asked softly, "Is this the legendary Dzi Bead stone?"

Mo Lao San looked at her, nodded hesitantly and said, "Dzi bead stone? Well, I am also a little skeptical, but this dzi bead stone is generally a small piece the size of a finger, and the largest is just the size of a fist. How can there be such a big piece..."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the majestic boulder in the main hall.

Li Tianming knows a lot about the cultural relics and antiques of the Central Plains, but he is not proficient in Tibetan treasures. Looking at Mo Lao San's solemn expression and a little curiosity, he couldn't help asking, "What is the origin of this dzi bead?"

Mo Lao San touched his head awkwardly and smiled: "I only know that this Dzi Bead is the first of the Tibetan Seven Treasures. The others are half-understood."

Su Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Can you show it to me?"

Mo Lao San looked at Li Tianming hesitantly, and Li Tianming nodded. Mo Laosan handed Su Rui with both hands, "You, do you still know Dzi Beads?"

Su Rui nodded: "I have studied this information before. Dzi beads are also known as'heavenly falling stones'. They are often worn by Tibetan compatriots. However, most of the dzi beads on the market are coated with agate stones with other materials. The processed ones are not rare.

The most precious dzi beads are made of natural rough stones without adding any materials. They are only polished from natural rough stones. Because natural rough stones are scarce, the quantity is very rare, and they are extremely rare. They are valuable treasures in the market. "

Mo Lao San said in a daze: "There is a market priceless? My dear, isn't this rough stone we found a rare treasure?"

Su Rui carefully observed the stone in his hand, and there were strange lines like circles of eyes at the broken mark. He said thoughtfully: "If I guess it's correct, the piece in front of us should be the rough nine-eyed shale dzi bead."

Mo Lao San scratched his head questioningly: "Hey, is there so much attention to this rough Dzi Bead?"

Su Rui nodded: "There are two main types of raw dzi. One is the snail dzi. The snail dzi is made from a large number of intact plankton and snail fossils in the ancient Mediterranean. After hundreds of millions of years of nature, The change of geographical environment is crystallized from jade.

In ancient times, Tibet used to be a great sea. This Dzi Bead is also a unique product of Tibet. The characteristics of Faluo Dzi are that each has its own shape, vivid and beautiful color, and crystal clear. Because it contains various rare elements, it is also very rare.

The Faluo Dzi is regarded as a "treasure worn by the gods" by the Tibetan compatriots, and is also the ultimate sacred object of Tibetan Buddhism.

There is also a kind of dzi that is more precious than the Faluo dzi, the sky-eye dzi, also known as the nine-eyed stone dzi. The size of the rough nine-eye dzi bead is generally within 15 cm, and the surface of the rough stone is covered with grout. The main producing areas are in the Himalayas such as Tibet, Eastern Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim and Ladakh.

Because the nine-eyed stone body itself has an eye-like pattern, it is also called the sky's eye stone. The nine-eyed stone dzi has natural regular patterns, mainly ocular shapes, supplemented by regular geometric patterns such as triangles and quadrilaterals.

The hardness of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is super high, ranging from 8.5 to 9 on the Mohs. In nature, it is second only to the hardness of South African diamonds at 10.0.

Its main chemical composition is agate and chalcedony, so there are many fake dzi made of agate on the market, but the characteristics of this handicraft dzi are completely incomparable with the natural nine-eye stone dzi.

The natural nine-eyed stone dzi has a unique characteristic, that is, the magnetic field is super strong-it is the mineral with the strongest magnetic field on the earth and several times that of crystal stone. It is said that the nine-eyed stone contains cosmic energy.

This kind of energy magnetic field is very peculiar and cannot be processed even in a laboratory. Currently, only the nine-eyed stone dzi in the world has this special element magnetic field.

Some scientists have confirmed that the nine-eyed dzi is a new substance produced by a violent reaction between a meteorite from outer space and agate in the Himalayas when it collides with the agate in the mineral.

There is also a legend that natural dzi is a good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives, with incredible magical effects. The dzi made with nine-eye shale has the functions of avoiding evil spirits, curing diseases, preventing strokes and enhancing internal qi.

Because dzi beads have so many characteristics, they are regarded as treasures that can only be worn by gods and become the ultimate holy objects of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.

Dzi Beads have been enshrined and worshipped by people living in the snowy plateau for generations because of their long history, profound totems, rare materials, profound background, and extraordinary blessings. They are regarded as precious as life. treasure.

The natural nine-eyed dzi is a non-renewable resource. The original stone has been extinct. The dzi beads in the existing world are all relics of ancients and are extremely rare.

The earliest surviving old dzi bead is the Xiangxiong dzi. The Xiangxiong dzi is enshrined and handed down by great achievers and eminent monks. It is the oldest and purest dzi that has been witnessed. "

After Su Rui said all this, Mo Laosan took the rough dzi bead from her and muttered in his mouth: "No wonder my Feng Shui compass is not working well here. It turned out to be disturbed by the magnetic field of the rough dzi bead. That's it. Such a big piece of rough dzi-how much do you think it can sell?"

Li Tianming asked with a sullen face: "You said that the earliest surviving old dzi bead is the Xiangxiong dzi bead

Su Rui nodded.

Li Tianming said coldly: "When you talked to this lama just now, you mentioned the secret of the Xiangxiong dynasty. Now, can you tell me this secret?!"

Su Rui was startled, and suddenly remembered that she had mentioned the Xiangxiong Dynasty when she threatened Li Tianming just now.

Li Tianming stared at Su Rui and said, "What is the relationship between the Xiangxiong Dynasty and this dzi stone?"

Su Rui looked at the middle-aged monk and slowly said to Li Tianming: "The Lazi family is not the owner of this temple. The original owner of the temple was the Xiangxiong Dynasty."
