treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 676

Several people removed all the things on the ground, and they also prepared some protective materials in the car. Li Mo personally protected the two Tang Sancai and seven pieces of porcelain one by one.

"Mr. Qin, I know all those porcelains. What are these two big ones?" Not only Gu Lishi was curious, but the other security guards were also very curious, but they couldn't ask directly.

"Tang Sancai, one is a tomb-suppressing beast, and the other is a pottery figurine. From archaeological excavations, it can be known that the tomb-suppressing beast was first seen in the tombs of Chu in the Warring States Period, and was popular in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties. Tomb-suppressing animals in the Sui and Tang Dynasties are generally set at the door of the tomb. In front, there is a human face and a beast face, facing each other. The one I found just now is a Tang Sancai human face beast, so I guess that Tang Sancai beast face may also be in his hands."

"In the Tang Dynasty, the style of protecting tombs against evil spirits was developed to the extreme. Cypresses were planted on the ground, and stone lions and stone figures were placed; underground beasts, warrior figurines, heavenly king figurines and twelve zodiac figurines were placed underground. This Tang tricolor pottery figurine is a warrior. It is absolutely impossible for there to be only one figurine.”

"Mr. Qin, can you believe what that drunkard said?"

"Although I don't know the source of these things, I have a hunch that there should be a batch of authentic ancient Chinese artifacts in his hometown in the countryside. If that's the case, I guess we need to send more people this time."

"Okay, let's arrange this."

The security guards around him were dispatched to not only protect Li Mo's safety, but also to cooperate with him in all his actions.

"Before you act, you must confirm whether the old house he mentioned belongs to him, and you should be more cautious when doing things in other places. You don't need to transport the things in the car back to the hotel. You can directly find a way to transport them to the embassy in the United States."

"Has this ever happened?"

"Well, those antiques that are not from China are also shipped over. I will communicate with museums in Europe and the United States about the exchange in the future."

"Yes, understand, we will execute it immediately."

Li Mo knew that besides the four security guards who followed him, there were many people secretly.He didn't ask questions, just got things done.

"Mr. Qin, we have already communicated, but for safety reasons, lawyer Gu Lishi and I will first verify his identity. If there is no problem, we will go to see the things in his old house."

Steven and Gu Lishi came over and said respectfully, followed by the sloppy middle-aged American man, he wanted nothing, holding a wine bottle in his right hand, holding an unopened high-end wine in his arms, his face full It's red, but it seems to be walking steadily.

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to the two of you."

The two of them went to work, and Li Mo continued to walk around Harrison Avenue, and found nothing wrong.Back at the hotel, the experts working at the Boston Museum had finished their work.

"Expert Qin, did you gain anything today?"

Expert Huang and several familiar experts all came to Li Mo's room. Yesterday, they found a Qianlong Imperial Knife worth more than 50 billion yuan, which made them sleepless at night. They wished they could go out for a stroll, maybe If you're lucky, you might find one or two antiques.

"Today is so-so, mainly because I found two tri-colored Tang Sancai pieces, one is a three-colored human-faced tomb-suppressing beast, the other is a three-colored warrior figurine, and the rest are small things, such as porcelain."

Li Mo was sitting on the sofa drinking warm water, he was really uncomfortable living here.He asked the hotel waiter for a cup for a meeting, and the other party was surprised that there was no hot water, but there was hot coffee.

Well, the thinking on both sides is not on the same level.

"Tomb-suppressing beasts and warrior figurines?" Expert Huang thought for a while and said, "So the other party should have other Tang Sancai in their hands?"

"Probably, I've sent someone to investigate the specifics, and I'll have definite news later. What do you want to eat tonight, I can't eat the food in this hotel."

"We are the same. Fortunately, there is a Chinese restaurant nearby. Expert Qin, let's go there to eat at night."

"I can't wait for it. It's better to order some authentic Hunan dishes, especially the kind of chopped pepper fish head, pepper fish miscellaneous and so on. It can be very appetizing."

"When you say that, my stomach starts to growl. Let's go now."

Steven and Gu Lishi didn't return to the hotel until after eight o'clock in the evening. They brought back good news to Li Mo, that the alcoholic's identity was fine.The old country house was actually passed down from his ancestors, and it is near a farm, and the place is a little bit off.

"That American man is addicted to alcohol and has always lived alone. Because he is often drunk, he has become a jobless vagrant. If he can't stay in the city, he can only go back to the old house in the country. At least he can have a shelter. So, occasionally I do work in nearby farms to earn some wine money."

"Have you seen the ancient artifacts he mentioned?"

"There is a basement in the old house, which he discovered by accident. There are many boxes piled up in it. We opened one of them, and there are all kinds of porcelain in it, but it is impossible to determine whether it is true or not. The American man is also afraid. We didn’t care about anything, so he only let us take a look and urged us to leave quickly, and before we left, he told us to bring enough cash to buy tomorrow.”

"Then I can only go to the scene tomorrow to see the specific situation, and bring a few boxes of high-end wine and some food tomorrow."

"We're going to do it now."

Li Mo nodded, took out two checks from his bag and handed them to them, a little more than yesterday.

The next day, the weather was not very good. Li Mo and the others set off in a car early in the morning, followed by two minivans.Boston is very luxurious, but the farther you drive out of the city, the more empty you feel outside the city, and you can see all kinds of large farms at a glance.

After driving for about two hours, the car got off the highway and turned into a small road. After driving for about half an hour, it finally stopped on the road in front of a house.Everyone got out of the car one after another, surrounded by farms and fields, and a few slightly larger houses stood far away.

There are few people here.

When Steven moved two cases of high-end wine to the old house, he heard the happy laughter of the alcoholic, as if he was satisfied as long as he could have a sip of good wine.

"Where's the master?"

Steven showed a dumbfounding smile and said, "He asked us to go down and move by ourselves, and he wanted to drink some wine."

There are a total of four rooms in this old house, and an open wooden shed was built on the east side, and a lot of messy things were piled up inside.Li Mo saw that the alcoholic was already sleeping on the recliner, drinking sips of good wine, and said lightly, "Take me to the basement first."

In the basement of a house to the west, a crumbling bed has been moved aside, revealing a removable cover on the floor.Steven pulled up the lid to reveal a basement entrance.He and Gu Lishi went down first, followed by Li Mo.The basement wasn't that big, and it was almost full of wooden boxes, probably more than thirty.

If all the antiques are stored in it, then this place can be regarded as a small treasure house.

Li Mo opened a wooden box, and there were three Tang Sancai pieces in it, one of which was the tomb-suppressing hand beast with a three-color animal face.

The tomb-suppressing beast sits on the pedestal with its chest upright. The head of the beast does not look like any animal, but its eyes are protruding, staring at it, and its mouth shows four fangs. It has a ferocious and ferocious face.There is a curved single horn on the top of the head, wings on each shoulder, and cloven hooves.The whole body is covered with yellow, green, white and brown glazes, which are colorful and gorgeous.

"good stuff."
