Chapter 17 The Miracle of the Forgotten World

Li Mo walked out of the store with the amphora green glaze bottle in his arms, and he readily spent 100 yuan on the side of the road to ask a stall owner to help pack it carefully so that it would not be bumped accidentally.

"Master, where are you?"

In the taxi, Li Mo dialed Liu Chuanqing's mobile phone. He was very anxious. Once this green glaze bottle was born, it might cause shock in the antique and cultural circles.

"I'm a guest at Professor Zhu's house, Xiao Mo, have you returned to the hotel yet?"

When Li Mo heard this, he felt that there was a pillow when he fell asleep. He himself confirmed that it was an authentic product of the Ming Dynasty royal family, but it relied on the different pupils.If you want to be recognized by the world, you must go through a series of normal appraisal procedures, and Professor Zhu is the authority in this regard.

"Master, you have to be mentally prepared. I made a big discovery in Panjiayuan. It's urgent. I'll go find you directly."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds before I heard Liu Chuanqing's urgent voice: "Xiaomo, take a taxi to Kyoto University, and I'll pick you up at the gate. Be careful."

By the time the taxi stopped at the gate of Kyoto University, it was already night, with stars hanging high and the lights dimmed.

When Li Mo got out of the car, he saw Liu Chuanqing looking at the door outside.

"Master."

"Little Mo." Liu Chuanqing came over in a hurry, and Li Mo was so frightened that he hugged the green glaze bottle and shouted, "Master, keep your distance."

"Scare me, why do you want to keep a distance?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Li Mo walked ahead, and Liu Chuanqing was half a step behind, "Master, have you ever seen celadon glazed porcelain from the Ming Dynasty? That kind of blue-black glaze color."

"The firing process of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty reached a peak. There are white glaze, yellow glaze, blue glaze, red glaze and sauce glaze in the single-color glaze. As for the blue glaze you mentioned, I have never seen even blue and black glaze porcelain. .”

"Master, among the two-color glazed porcelain, have you ever seen or heard of porcelain with the same color glaze inside and outside?"

Liu Chuanqing's breathing became heavy. If Li Mo hadn't reminded him to keep a distance, he would have rushed to snatch it and take a closer look.

"It is more common to use blue glaze with another glaze color to make two-color glazed porcelain. Among them, red glazed and sauce glazed two-colored glazed porcelain are the most precious, but most of them are collected in famous foreign museums. What are you talking about? There is no such specimen of porcelain with the same color glaze on the outside, Xiao Mo, what subversive treasure have you picked up?"

Yes, this is an absolutely historical discovery.

Li Mo also found out that it was a two-color glaze when he got it. He carefully distinguished that the green glaze inside was slightly lighter, but because of the shadow, it was the same color glaze inside and outside.

"you guess."

"Guess what, you kid has grown up, and let me guess."

Out of habit, Liu Chuanqing stretched out his hand to knock his head off, but suddenly retracted with lightning, and he was sweating from fright.If he accidentally startled him, if he was startled and accidentally slipped his hand, the consequences would be disastrous.

The campus of Beijing University at night is full of romance. Along the way, I saw many pairs of academic masters and gods laughing and chatting.Li Mo is so envious, this is the college life he wants, freedom and romance.

"Xiao Mo, Professor Zhu lives in the duplex villa in front of him. His cousin is here today, you know him, he is the Vice President Zhu of the Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Association, and Professor Yu from Tsinghua University and Renmin University of China who are interviewing together today. Professor He."

"Great."

Li Mo couldn't help getting excited. The three professors were all here, and they happened to make a scientific appraisal of the double-eared green glaze bottle together. He planned to keep this authentic Ming Dynasty product for himself.

Liu Chuanqing rang the doorbell, and a dignified and peaceful old lady opened the door.

"This is Li Mo, my incompetent apprentice."

The old lady looked at Li Mo with a smile and said, "This guy is energetic."

"Hi Madam Zhu." Li Mo saluted respectfully.

"Come in quickly, Lao Zhu and the others are almost impatient."

Li Mo walked into the living room, Professor Zhu and the others were drinking tea and chatting, they all turned their heads when they heard the sound.

"Professor Zhu, Professor He, Professor Yu, President Zhu, hello."

"You are so polite at home, how comfortable you are. President Zhu can praise you. He even missed a copy of Master Xu Beihong's original painting 'Twin Horses'. It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to see the master's authentic style." Zhu The professor put the things on the dining table aside, waved and said, "Don't just stand there, take out the good things you picked up in Panjiayuan, and let us have a look."

Li Mo carefully took out the amphora green glaze bottle and put it on the table.

"Hey, it's a black bottle. Li Mo, don't miss it. It's nothing special." President Zhu stretched out his head and looked a little disappointed. Except for the relatively rare colors, the styles are relatively common.

Professor Zhu Changping was more serious. He first observed with his hands for a few minutes, slid his fingers around the mouth of the bottle, and then looked at the bottom of the bottle, with a pensive look on his face, "Professor Yu, Professor He, you also palm your eyes. interesting."

Professor Yu carefully picked up the amphora, illuminated it against the light of the restaurant, and observed the glazed surface from several angles.

"It's amazing, it's amazing.

"Professor Yu, don't be surprised, let me have a look." Professor He feels as uncomfortable as scratching an itch. Judging from the expressions of the two, the black bottle in front of him is probably not simple.

"Professor He, keep your hands steady." Professor Yu put down the amphora, and his expression was faintly dignified, as if he could see something.

President Zhu walked to Liu Chuanqing and asked in a low voice, "Boss Liu, tell me some news."

"I'm also confused, but judging from the situation, it shouldn't be an ordinary bottle, at least not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Professor He looked more seriously, raised his head after a few minutes and said, "Old Zhu, use a flashlight and a magnifying glass."

Professor Zhu was already ready, and the three major professors came forward. Professor He looked up at the chandelier and said, "Sister-in-law, please turn off the light."

Crack, the lights go out.

A beam of spotlight hit the amphora, and there was a burst of surprise in the restaurant.In a dim environment, at the edge of the spotlight, the amphora reflects a hazy cyan light.

It is that kind of pure green, the halo is so beautiful, it makes people sink at first sight.

Professor He focused the light into the bottle again, causing repeated exclamations.

After a long time, the chandelier in the dining room was turned on, and the shocked expressions on the faces of the three professors had not faded away. Their eyes wished they could swallow the amphora in one gulp.

"Brother, what is the origin of this black bottle?"

Professor Zhu glanced at him, frowned and said: "You are good at calligraphy and painting copybooks, and you don't know much about porcelain. You saw it just now, and the blue light was refracted when the spotlight was cast on it, indicating that this is not black glaze, but green glaze. Porcelain There are obvious traces of flint red spots on the bottom, which is a major feature of Ming Dynasty porcelain."

Professor Yu went on to say: "In the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the color of the green glaze was darker and darker. The green material used was imported Sumaliqing. When the glaze was heavy, it looked darker. Looking at the glaze, it is very thick. , Moisturizing, thick carcass, the whole shape is three-dimensional and plump, with smooth lines."

"I observed carefully just now, and there is halo, which is also a feature of porcelain craftsmanship in the early Ming Dynasty. The most shocking thing is that this amphora is still glazed with the same color, which is an alternative in the two-color glazed porcelain. It has never appeared in the world. This kind of porcelain." Professor He became excited, "Judging from the combination of flint red spots, fetal glaze and halo, this amphora is likely to be an authentic product from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty."

"Whether it is authentic or not needs to go through strict identification procedures, such as carbon fourteen detection. Once it is identified as authentic, it will definitely be a treasure in the history of mankind, the only one in the world." Professor Zhu exclaimed, then looked at Li Mo, "How do you judge?"

Liu Chuanqing and President Zhu's heart was ups and downs when they heard it. They were too familiar with the meaning of "unique".

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Mo smiled lightly, and expressed his long-thought point: "Ming Hongwu's three-clawed dark dragon and green-glazed amphora, an authentic product of the Ming royal family, is unparalleled in the world, and was left in the A folk miracle."

There was a dead silence in the room, and no one understood what he meant.

Li Mo walked to the dining table calmly, took Professor He's spotlight, and carefully touched a place near the lower edge of the bottle mouth, looking for a beam of light to hit the right place: "Everyone, take a closer look."

Professor Zhu hurriedly stretched out his fingers, and stared suddenly: "Although it is not easy to detect, there are indeed bumps. Old lady, bring the rice paper and ink, hurry up."

Another amazing discovery.
