treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 674
And a bigger treasure?
Several old experts looked at the remaining three pieces of porcelain that had not been disassembled. Could it be that Chongbao is here?

"I used these three pieces of porcelain to make up the number, and I will throw them away later."

Li Mo smiled, first protected and packed the four porcelains, and then placed the long wooden box on the table.He didn't play charades with everyone, and directly opened the lid of the box, and saw fifteen pieces of jade wares placed in sequence inside.

"Expert Huang, Expert Zhou, you two are experts in jade appraisal, tell us all about it." A researcher from the Kyoto Museum said with a smile.

"In front of Expert Qin, our level is as good as ours." Although Expert Huang said so, he still carefully picked up a piece of jade from it, and after careful appraisal, he said, "This is the Hanyu Dragon and Phoenix Bi, look at it. The color of the jade is very natural, and there are several pieces of similar jade in the Palace Museum."

"This piece of jade bi is very valuable. I remember that a similar piece of Hanlongfeng jade bi was sold at a high price of more than 700 million at Poly Auction in Hong Kong Island one year."

Expert Zhou is an expert at the Kyoto Museum of Art, and he is also very proficient in jade.

"Old Zhou, take a look at this second piece of jade." Expert Huang picked up the second piece, looked at it for a while and handed it to Expert Zhou.

"This is a pair of Suzaku bismuths carved with panlongs in Han Dynasty." Expert Zhou picked up another almost identical jade from the box, but the color of the jade was a little different, "Suzakus were mythical beasts in ancient times. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits on the body, this pair is of very good quality, and if it is put on the market, it will be worth more than 3000 million."

"This jade is even better." Expert Huang got another one from the wooden box, and he touched it carefully with his hands, "This is the jade bi of Han Shuanglong, and there is only one in the Forbidden City, but it is broken. , I didn’t expect to find a complete Shuanglong Jade Bi here.”

Several other experts stretched their heads to have a look, and even Li Mo listened to what he said with great interest.

"Okay, very good, what Expert Qin found this time is really a treasure."

"Hahaha, Lao Huang, if you really like it, you can ask the Palace Museum to purchase it from expert Qin."

"Forget it, the funds approved by the museum every year are limited, and this piece of Shuanglong jade can't be handled without tens of millions."

It was another piece of Han Yubi worth over ten million yuan. This price surprised Li Mo, and it was many times higher than what he had expected.

The next few pieces of jade are relatively ordinary, but the price of each piece is more than 100 million.

"The last two jade wares, no, should be older stone wares. Judging from the shape, one is a finger puller and the other is a stone knife. They are a bit like those unearthed from the Longshan Culture. They should belong to the late Neolithic age. "

After talking about this, Expert Huang looked at Li Mo and asked curiously, "Expert Qin, tell us how much you paid for these ancient jades?"

Li Mo said calmly: "About eight or nine million Huaxia coins."

"How many?"

All the experts in Changchang looked at each other. According to the appraisal just now, the value of these fifteen pieces of ancient jade is at least about 8000 million, and the value has increased by nearly a hundred times.

"It's really annoying to compare people to others. It's okay, we won't compare with Expert Qin, or we won't be able to sleep all night." Expert Huang smiled. No wonder Li Mo said that he found Chongbao. This miss is so big that he wants to go to the American market to search for treasures.

"Expert Qin, have you found any other treasures?"

Everyone looked at him. He had a good record on the first day. Such a person is born to live for treasure hunting.

Li Mo pointed to the wooden box: "Take a closer look."

An expert in his 60s bent down to look at the wooden box seriously, shook his head and said, "The material used for this wooden box is relatively ordinary, and there are already cracks on the surface, which is nothing to look at."

"Expert Qin, just tell us directly."

Li Mo gestured for the height of the wooden box with his hands: "Don't you think the height of this wooden box is a bit uncoordinated?"

Expert Huang's eyes showed doubts. After looking at it, he held up the wooden box with both hands and tried it out: "The weight is far from right. Expert Qin, you suspect that this wooden box is double-layered, and there is a hidden layer on the lower layer. something?"

"That's right. If you just put ancient jade, there will be a better way to store it. If you put it in a wooden box casually, it may be easily damaged by accident. I guess there are more precious ancient objects underneath. Now we will Open the wooden box and have a look."

Li Mo asked security to bring a safe. He protected fifteen pieces of jade and put them in the safe, then peeled off the protective layer to reveal the bottom plate below.The bottom board is movable, and Li Mo easily took out the whole board, underneath which is a soft protective layer made of cotton.

There is really something below, Li Mo lifted the protective layer, his eyes were attracted by the things that appeared, and even his breathing seemed to become short.

"What kind of knife is this?"

All the experts present were amazed by the knife hidden in the wooden box. The knife appeared in front of everyone, the scabbard was made of wood, decorated with gold peach skin, the head and tail were inlaid with gold, and it was decorated with various gems.

Look at the exposed knife head and knife grid are made of pure gold, engraved with engraved flowers, turquoise and lapis lazuli mosaic distribution.The outer edge of the knife grid is inlaid with pearls of uniform size for a week, which is dazzling and extremely gorgeous.

The handle of the knife is made of wood, wrapped with a bright yellow silk thread, showing the supreme status of the owner.Judging from the appearance alone, the number of inlaid gemstones exceeds a hundred, which is extremely luxurious.

Li Mo was also a little dazed when he saw the real body of this knife. He couldn't think of any other knife in the Qing Dynasty that could rival the Nine Dragon Sword and the Baihong Sword.

Using scissors, he cut off more than a dozen tangled threads that fixed the treasure knife, and Li Mo took out the treasure knife so that everyone could see it more clearly.

"Expert Qin, pull out the blade and have a look."

Li Mo nodded slightly, held the scabbard in one hand, and the handle in the other, and drew lightly, a crisp sound sounded, and there was a sudden gasp in the room.

This knife is forged from all steel, with a reverse blade at the front, dragon-shaped carvings on the back of the knife, and a gold-plated dragon body.The whole knife has beautiful lines and luxurious decoration. The golden dragon carving on the back of the knife is exquisite and the gilt color is full.The knife body has double grooves, its craftsmanship is exquisite, its texture is excellent, and its accessories are luxurious, achieving a high degree of unity of practicality and artistry.

"This knife is definitely a rare national treasure. Expert Qin, please take a closer look to see if there is any standard identity information on this knife."

"I think the sword of the Great Qing Dynasty and the Nine Dragons Sword are a bit inferior to the sword in front of me in terms of its luxurious appearance."

"If this knife is really an antique, then the origin of the knife is very scary. In history, only the emperor has the strength to carefully craft such a precious knife. It is supreme and powerful."

All the experts present were overwhelmed by the luxury and splendor of this knife. Only Li Mo was still appraising it carefully. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Look, everyone, here are two characters in seal script: Tian one."

Two seal characters are clearly engraved on the blade near the handle,
"What does Tianyi mean?"

All experts are recalling relevant information.

"I see, this 'Tianyi' refers to Tianzi No. [-]."

At this moment, Li Mo thought of the key words, and even his voice was a little excited.

Tianzi No. [-]?

Everyone couldn't realize the true meaning of these four words for a while, and they all looked at Li Mo with anxious eyes, hoping that he could solve the mystery as soon as possible.

"This is the Tianzi No. [-] Dayue Dao made by Emperor Qianlong."

The room fell into a dead silence for a short while, and after a dozen or so breaths, the experts were shocked.They heard it right, the knife in front of them was actually a Da Yue knife supervised by Qianlong himself.

The Emperor's Grand Reading Knife, as the name suggests, was worn by the emperor on important occasions such as grand reading celebrations, personal conquests, triumphant returns, expeditions for life awards, surrender of triumphs, and governance of foreign vassals.

In the early Qing Dynasty, emperors such as Huang Taiji, Kangxi, Qianlong and others were all good at riding and shooting.In order to prevent the Manchurian royal family and nobles, princes and ministers from forgetting their roots and losing the spirit of martial arts because of the comfortable life, it is also to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers.They attach great importance to armaments and often hold various military activities, the most famous of which is the military parade.

Emperor Qianlong took a lot of painstaking efforts in making the waist knives, from the initial book samples to wood samples, materials, assorted materials, scabbards, wooden boxes, and the writing of the characters. This shows the importance of these waist knives. .

In the whole process, not only the three series of heaven, earth and man inlaid with precious gemstones and gorgeous colors were made, but also a variety of parade sabers, which were worn when reviewing the Eight Banners Army and important celebrations of the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong Dayue Dao is currently known as the highest-level Chinese emperor saber, and its craftsmanship also represents the highest level of Chinese iron sabers. Its title was determined in the Qianlong period when China was the most powerful in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor personally supervised and confirmed its shape in the form of national codes.

After a long time, a calligrapher and painting expert said first: "I remember a portrait of Emperor Qianlong during the military parade. The matching belt hanging around his waist is a waist knife, which is at least similar to the Tianzi No. [-] knife in front of him the same.

"About this imperial sword, there are records in books and supporting evidence in paintings, and it is also No. [-] Tianzi. Its status and value are comparable to those of the Nine Dragon Sword. Professor Qin, it is incredible that you missed it, too. Incredible."

All the experts and professors present know the value of the first national sword of the Qing Dynasty, the Nine Dragons Sword, and the first sacrificial weapon of the Qing Dynasty, the Baihong Knife. That is to say, the value of this Tianzi No. 50 Dayue Knife made by the Emperor Qianlong is absolutely Above [-] billion.

Of course, once such a priceless treasure returns to the country, it will definitely not have the opportunity to leave the country again.

"Expert Qin, quickly put away this knife and protect it." Expert Huang said nervously, "The Qianlong Dayue knife must not be kept in the hotel room. No one knows if there are ghosts in the hotel." , how do you plan to place them first?"

Li Mo had thought about this issue a long time ago, and now that the Tianzi No. [-] Dayue Dao made by the Emperor Qianlong has seen the light of day again, they must not be able to see it alone.The only place that can be truly trusted and protected by absolute strength is the Huaxia Embassy.

"Expert Huang, I know this matter well, and I will arrange follow-up matters later."

"Okay, don't worry, our group of people is very ruthless. By the way, let's go see Expert Chen first, and go there as soon as you handle the matter."

After several experts left, the four security guards who had been staying in the room for close protection all walked up to Li Mo.

"I didn't expect to find such a rare national treasure when I visited the antique market on the first day. Expert Huang is right, things can't be kept in hotels. You have your own channels, and I hope you can immediately sell this batch of priceless treasures. The treasures were safely transferred to the embassy, ​​waiting to be shipped back to the country together in the near future."

The four security guards saluted him at the same time.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry, we have activated the emergency plan. Put away all these treasures first, and the connector will come over in about half an hour."

Li Mo stood up and saluted them: "I will leave everything to you."

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, two burly men appeared at Li Mo's door, and they were accompanied by his own personal security guards.

The visitor didn't say much, he saluted Li Mo first, and then checked things silently.Except for the pair of Spring and Autumn and Warring States wrong gold and silver beast bows that were still kept by my side, everything else was quietly transported away.

After all the treasures were taken away, Li Mo calmed down his uncontrollable mood, and then walked towards Expert Chen's room.Expert Chen of the Kyoto Museum is at most 40 years old, and he is the backbone of the museum's key training.It's just that he was relatively small, while the two foreigners were tall, burly and burly. In addition, the situation was more urgent at that time, and the two foreigners who were blocked were also very heavy.

Fortunately, after inspection, all the wounds were skin trauma. At this moment, bruises appeared on the face and body, and it was difficult to recover immediately.

"I'm fine. I've caused everyone to be worried. I'm really ashamed." Expert Chen was a little embarrassed, and the work arrangements for the expert team stopped in the afternoon because of him.

"People safe is good."

"Old Chen, you should take a good rest first, we live next door anyway, you can call us whenever you need something."

Li Mo saw that he was beaten badly, he touched his chin and said: "In the country of America, if someone breaks into a private place, they can shoot directly. It's a pity that I'm not here in the morning, otherwise those two foreigners would It must be lying in the hospital, and nothing is going to happen.

Just shoot it, they never played it.

"Expert Qin, how do you think about this matter?"

"Has the person in charge of the hotel come forward?"

"Not yet, Expert Qin, I think it's okay to let this matter go, after all, it won't be good if it becomes a big issue." Far away in a foreign country, Expert Chen still wants to calm down.

"Expert Chen, take a good rest, I'll take care of this."

Gu Lishi is a practicing barrister in the United States, and he is not fighting alone. If Li Mo needs it, he can even summon a team of lawyers to negotiate with the person in charge of the big hotel.

He directly revealed his identity at the front desk on the first floor, and delivered a speech in a righteous manner. Before the evening, the person in charge of the hotel showed up.
