Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

"boom……"

My back hit the ground hard, hitting the sand, and it felt like my lungs were about to be pushed out.

It hurts... it really hurts!
His uncle's... suddenly collapsed?

As the thought flashed across his mind, Yu Huiyin also fell down, like pancakes slapped on the chopping board, with a "chirp" sound, and fell onto him.

Li Ding'an's eyes suddenly bulged, and he screamed in his throat: "Yo~~"

It's useless, it's absolutely useless...

Yu Huiyin was startled and stretched out his hand tentatively: "Li Ding'an... Li Ding'an..."

A muffled groan came from the smoke: "Woo..."

The energy is as thin as a thread, as if he is about to die.

"Don't scare me... Li Ding'an, where are you injured?"

"Down...down..."

Only then did Yu Huiyin realize that one of her legs was still kneeling on Li Ding'an's lower abdomen.

Still fell from such a high place...

Suddenly, both hands moved down without hesitation, crying: "Li Ding'an, how are you...how are you..."

As if being shocked, Li Ding'an jumped up and grabbed her hand tightly: "Don't move..."

"Where are you injured?"

"It's not hurt...don't move..."

Yu Huiyin suddenly reacted, feeling embarrassed and anxious, and even burst into tears: "I didn't mean it...does it hurt?"

nonsense.

"Don't worry, it's not broken, it can still be used..."

"After all this, are you still joking?"

"If it's going to break, I might as well die?"

Li Ding'an didn't lie, it just hurt a little bit, and he didn't feel any discomfort anymore.

It should be the soft sand on the ground that plays a role...

"Why did it suddenly collapse?"

"I should have carried you around a few times and loosened the soil on the roof of the cave."

"What should we do now?"

"Don't panic, take a look and then talk!"

After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the two of them looked up: What a big hole?
It is four to five meters in diameter and seven to eight meters high.

Look around again: Good guy...what kind of lynx cave is this?

It was more than ten meters in diameter and at least as big as half a basketball court. It was clearly a cave.

Fortunately, the roof of the cave was mostly made of sand, and after it collapsed it became a layer of soft sand, otherwise a few bones would have been broken.

But how to get out?

It's almost as high as a three-story building. The key is that the entrance is small and the bottom is big, like an upside-down bowl. It's neither easy to climb nor use force.

If you look carefully, you can see that the walls are mixed with sand and stones, and stones as big as millstones can be seen everywhere.

"Susu", "Susu"...

Sand slides off the cave wall from time to time, and more and more exposed stones are exposed. Not to mention climbing, I think speaking louder could shake the rocks off.

It’s over, I can’t get out...

He took out his cell phone again...is there a signal from Mao?
The key is that this place is halfway up the mountain. It remains to be seen whether people from outside can find it...

He took a deep breath and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid...seeing that we haven't gone back and the phone can't be reached, Lao Wang will definitely come to see us..."

With Li Ding'an by his side, Yu Huiyin was not very scared, but just a little worried: "Will it collapse again?"

I really can’t say for sure.

The sand is still sliding down, and maybe one of the cave walls will collapse.

No, we can't wait, we have to save ourselves...

Li Ding'an looked around.

Well, what is this thing in the corner?
The upper part is like a pot, with two ears, and the lower part has three legs, like a three-legged bench.

There are inscriptions on the top and bottom, with thunder clouds on the top and animal patterns on the bottom.

It must be a copperware. The stone that was thrown down just now must have hit this thing.

But it's a bit unfamiliar.

After looking at it for a long time, Li Ding'an finally remembered: Damn!

This is the name when they are put together. If they are separated, the top is called Grate and the bottom is called Ge. You can light a fire under the ke, between the three legs, fill it with water, and put a grate on top. There are holes on the bottom of the grate for steam to pass through, and then the rice or millet rice in the grate is steamed.

Therefore, this is an epoch-making and landmark instrument, and it is very representative: it was with this thing that the ancients ate the first bowl of steamed millet rice.

Judging from the appearance of this piece, it cannot be later than Zhou Dynasty. No matter which museum it is placed in, it will be a treasure, but how can Li Ding'an take care of it?

It's important to save your life.

After a few clicks, he dug the thing out from the sand and found the middle position.

"Come on, get up."

"what?"

"Ah what? Try to stand as high as possible so that if the cave wall collapses, you won't be buried alive."

Tears flashed in Yu Huiyin's eyes: "What should you do?"

"I'll look for it again, I guess there are still some."

After carrying Yu Huiyin up, he picked up the probe and poked it again and again. "Boom!"

Really?
After digging away the sand, a table and three buckets were revealed.

It's all copper...

Haha, three in a row?

The rust is very heavy, and both the rim and the grating have turned gray-green, but the inscriptions on it can still be seen clearly.

Especially the ears on the left and right grates. Isn't this a cobra?

Triple four snakes.

There is an identical one in the National Museum, which was unearthed from Fuhao's tomb.

A true treasure of the town hall.

But his life is almost gone, so how can he care about it?

First, he pried open the three gratings on the top, and then dug out the six legs of the grate. Li Ding'an pulled hard.

With a "squeak" sound, he paused again.

It seems like the wind is blowing?
No, there is a hole behind this thing...

Suspicious, Li Ding'an took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and then, he suddenly had a clever idea.

This is not a hole, but a door.

The blue-black stone bricks are neatly crafted and square, with dragon patterns on them.

However, most of it was buried by the falling sand, and the Sanlian Zhi happened to be pushed over, covering the remaining small half, so I didn't see it before.

Look carefully...it should be bricks made from local materials and made of weathered iron sand from specularite.

Isn't there an underground palace behind this door?
The key thing is that there is wind, blowing from inside.

So, the back of the door probably leads outside.

It doesn’t matter what magic circle or ruins it is, survival is the most important thing.

"Huiyin, come to help..."

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull the triple knot apart.

Sand trickled in from the door, like a slope. The two held their mobile phones and slid down carefully.

Looking around again: It’s so big.

With a stone dome, blue brick floor, and several brick pillars standing tall, it is quiet and mysterious.

The walls are also made of bricks, without cladding or murals, and are extremely smooth. Looking back, we can see faintly visible bluestone steps under the sand.

Both sides of the stone steps were piled with bricks, tiles, earth and stones.

Li Ding'an suddenly understood: This must be an underground palace, and the one outside should also be an underground palace.

But I don’t know why, they just dug out the wheel width and prepared the materials, but didn’t build it?
Just as he was wondering, his arms tightened slightly, and there was another sound of teeth chattering.

"what happened?"

"Dead people...many dead people..."

Li Ding'an raised his phone and was shocked.

There were corpses all over the ground, covering half of the palace. There couldn't be hundreds of them?
The flesh and blood had long since turned to ash, leaving only the bones, the clothes in tatters, and the hair slightly flying.

It was already dark, and I had been frightened just now. Looking at the skeletons all over the ground, and the withered hair flying in the wind like a ghost waving, it was really scary.

The key thing is that the bones are arranged neatly next to each other?

Li Ding'an held up the flashlight and looked around carefully: they were all linen clothes and hemp shoes... most likely the craftsmen who built the underground palace.

There were no wounds on his body.

Poisoned to death?
But the repairs haven't been completed yet. Why kill all the craftsmen?
After thinking about it, Yu Huiyin pointed forward again: "Li Ding'an, look!"

He held up his phone.

Good guy...

Copper coins, silver ingots, silk, gold ingots...are everywhere on the ground.

There are many boxes next to it, some of which are in tatters. Copper coins, gold and silver flowed out from there...

After taking a look, Li Dingan took a deep breath.

On the corner of a box, there is a piece of colorful silk hanging diagonally: a bottle of strange rocks, a lotus pond, and two egrets, one standing and one lying down.

The lotus flowers are pink, the lotus pods are delicate, the dragonflies flutter their wings, and the crickets climb on the grass leaves.

A few mandarin ducks were playing in the water, and fish were swimming around.

Li Ding'an has seen exactly the same one: the treasure of the Shanghai Museum, "Suckling Duck in Lotus Pond".

But this one was missing a corner, a duck...the one in his pocket.

Under the brocade, most of the wooden box was rotten, and two plum vases stood side by side: warm and moist like jade, green and bright like fat... Ru porcelain.

Also on the left, two Ru-glazed basins.

Also on the right, four Ru-glazed octagonal vases.

Behind it is still... those flashes of blue light that can blind the eyes.

Further back, there are more than a dozen life-size bottles of Buddha statues, all reflecting light.

Let’s look at the shapes again: some are riding a lion, some are sitting on a tiger, some are in a group, some are holding a finger, some are holding a staff... lifelike and lifelike.

Liao Sancai Eighteen Arhats.

Next to it, stands a bell: the upper part is cast with a double dragon bell button, and the lower part is layered with inscriptions: palace guards, chariot wheels, flagpoles, mountains and forests, trees, houses, sea water, immortals, dragons...

Isn't this the lubo bell that hung at the palace gate during the Northern Song Dynasty?
There's more behind, and there's still behind...
