Chapter 28 Thoughts on Garden of Thinking·Shangjing of Huangyang Ridge

"The treasure in the night marsh forest, the crystal on Huangyang Ridge", these are two kinds of gemstones in Donglu. The previous sentence refers to Xunzhou Hongbao.The night marsh is full of treasures. The night marsh in ancient times was much bigger than it is now. The water surface in the past is now a forest.The forest is dangerous, but it is often possible to dig out the best Zhaodianhong.The last sentence refers to the crystal produced in Huangyangling. There are three main crystal producing areas in Wanzhou, Hezhen, Beimang Mountain and Qingshi.He Zhenjing is a sea crystal with various qualities. Occasionally, he can get top-quality crystals in Yushi, but there are only white crystals.Beimang Mountain does not actually produce crystals, but the river network can cast crystals. It is said that crystals can be cast from sand.No one knows exactly how, but there is no doubt that the crystals of Heluo can be cast into various shapes and sizes, and the quality is quite pure. The key is the large output.After the Beiman Alliance, a large number of Heluo crystals appeared on the market, and Zhenjing's bluestone crystals were washed away immediately, and it is unknown how many families were destroyed.But after a long time, Qing Shijing turned over slowly again.

There are two key points here: the Huangyang Ridge of the bluestone produces colorful crystals, red orange yellow green, all colors.Beiman crystals also have colored ones, which are the result of Heluo's addition of preparations, and the purity and brilliance of the colors are far inferior to those of bluestone crystals.Another point is that the hardness of the bluestone crystal is extremely high, almost comparable to that of Ninglang diamond.Although the Beiman crystal is big, it is extremely soft, and ordinary blades can leave marks.If it is bluestone crystal, only specialized craftsmen can cut and carve it with diamond carving knives.

Crystals were originally precious jewels. At that time, a large number of Beiman crystals entered the market, and the price of crystals fell below the eyes of jewelers. As long as they are well-off, they can buy one or two crystal jewelry utensils.Beautiful and cheap, crystals became the most popular jewelry in Donglu almost overnight.The listing of Beiman Crystal is very strong, but Heluo is not keen on profit. Most of the early stocked crystals have been sold out, and they are not eager to cast more, and the price of crystals on the market is slowly rising. Bluestone crystals come from Huangyangling, and they are mostly produced in a village called Shanshangao. They are picked from a deep pool guarded by monsters.Back then when Qingshi was besieging the city, Xie's army was helped by the rebel general Lu Zhuan of the Eagle Banner Army and destroyed the water source of Qingshi. Rumor has it that it was the result of angering monsters.The Battle of Qingshi was only a matter of a few months, but the crystals in the col on the mountain have been cut off since then, and the crystal collectors have long since changed their careers, so Qingshijing is actually in a situation where there is no progress.

There are more people who buy Jingpinjing, and they know how to be picky about comparison.There were few bluestone colored crystals on the market, but the source was cut off, and the price went up all the way.When the price is high enough, the craftsmen who fled the business of mining crystals and carving crystals began to look back. Perhaps because of the impact of the war many years ago, today's crystal pickers are secretive about where and how they mine their crystals.What is certain is that the output of Huangyangling Shangjing has been greatly reduced compared with that of the past, but the price is much higher.On the other hand, mining crystals is much more dangerous than before, and crystal picking people often die.It's just that the price of crystals is so high, as long as one piece of colored crystals is collected in a year, it is enough for a large family to live a comfortable life, and the crystal pickers will continue to collect them at the expense of their lives.

Looking back, without the impact of Beiman Jing back then, the price of crystal would not have been so high.Even the top-quality amethyst and red crystal on Huangyangling, have they ever been sold for the price of a red treasure?Was it the crystal buying craze triggered at that time that brought the crystals on Huangyangling back to life?Success or failure is all about Beiman Jing.
