Chapter 191

quickly,

Professor Chen and others left and passed through a passage. The next moment they were all surprised because the place they were in had undergone great changes.

At this moment, Professor Chen and others felt as if their bodies had traveled to another world. Everything around them was brand new and the houses were in order. This was a huge city, but there was no one in it.
Opening a door at random, everything inside indicated that the room was occupied a second ago, because the meat in the pot was still boiling.

Su Ye said calmly at this time, "This...should be Shadow Evil Luohai City.

This is a fragment of Evil Luohai City captured in the mind of the first-generation ghost mother. "

words fell,

Everyone in the archaeological team was naturally amazed and looked around in surprise.

When he saw the bronze on the table, Professor Chen was amazed.

"This... the origin of the Demon Kingdom at that time should be earlier than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. They... how come they already have bronzes?! In this way, wouldn't it be much earlier for me to live up to the origin of bronzes?"

The origins of the Bronze Civilization can be traced back to around 2000 BC.
At that time, China had already begun to use bronze ware as ritual vessels, weapons and daily necessities.

With the passage of time, the production technology and cultural connotation of bronzes have gradually developed and matured.

By the Shang Dynasty, the production of bronzes had reached its peak, and the types and quantities of bronzes had also greatly increased.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, and Warring States Periods, bronze ware was still an important part of ancient Chinese civilization, and various types of bronze ware were also widely used.

In the mid-Shang Dynasty, the variety of bronzes was very rich, and inscriptions and fine patterns appeared.

The late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty was the heyday of the development of bronze ware. The types of bronze ware were diverse, thick and solemn, the inscriptions gradually lengthened, and the patterns were intricate and rich.

Subsequently, the bronze carcass began to become thinner and the decoration gradually simplified.

It can be said that bronzes occupy an extremely important position in Chinese culture.

No wonder Professor Chen is so excited.

At this time,

Professor Chen carefully picked out a large number of bronze knives, shaking his head from time to time and sighing,
"According to the background of the time, the value of this knife can be compared with the Lotus Crane Square Pot."

heard,

The rest of the archaeological team were also surprised. The Lotus and Crane square pots are a pair of two pieces. The weight of the two square pots is the same, 64.28 kilograms. The mouth is square, 30.5 centimeters long and 54 centimeters wide.

The body of the pot is a flat cube. The belly of the pot is decorated with dragon patterns and upright dragon horns.The four sides of the pot are also decorated with a mythical beast with curved horns, wings on its shoulders, and a long rolled tail.

There are two curly-tailed beasts at the foot of the circle, with scales on their bodies, heads turned outward, and branch-shaped horns.

The curly-tailed beast supporting the body of the pot echoes each other in its upward climbing movements with the dragons and beasts decorated on the body.

The lid is cast in the shape of lotus petals, with a circle of plump double-layered petals spreading out all around, and the petals are covered with hollow holes.

There is a small movable cover in the center of the lotus petals, on which there is a crane standing in the center of the petals. The crane seems to be fluttering its wings and looking up into the distance. The shape is smart.

From the perspective of production technology, the casting of the Lotus Crane Square Pot uses various techniques such as round carving, bas-relief, fine carving, and welding. The craftsmanship is exquisite and reflects the overall style of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is formed with the heavy and solemn bronze style of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. A sharp contrast.The Lotus and Crane Square Pot not only has exquisite and novel decoration, but also has a complex structure and exquisite casting. It can be regarded as a model of bronze craftsmanship in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The whole body is covered with thick and weird traditional patterns, giving people a nameless oppression that can almost suffocate them.

There are two layers of lotus petals arranged parallel to each other around the lid of the pot, with plants as the pattern. This is the only example left before the Qin and Han Dynasties.

And in the center of the lotus petals stands a fresh and elegant white crane, flying its wings, one foot, and slightly opening its beak as if it wants to sing. I say this is a symbol of the spirit of the times.

This crane has just broken through the grand mist of ancient times. It is full of ambition, looks down upon everything, tramples tradition under its feet, and wants to fly higher and farther.

This is when the early Spring and Autumn Period emerged from the semi-mythological era of Yin and Zhou Dynasties, and all social conditions and spiritual culture were faithfully represented.

A bird stands on the top of the lid, spreading its wings to fly. Two dragons on the side of the pot are looking at it, trying to grab the pot. Two dragons on the bottom of the pot are resisting and eager to try. The whole pattern, attached to the huge pot, has a centrifugal movement, which is the most symbolic of competition. The spirit of the times that seeks liberation and welcomes the dawn.

It is definitely one of the pinnacle masterpieces among bronze ware. Comparing this knife with the Lotus Crane Square Pot is a bit much.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Professor Chen smiled faintly, "What? Do you think this is a comparison? But think about it, at that time in the Demon Kingdom, the technology of bronze ware had reached the level it is now, and it was used by ordinary civilians. Where are the bronzes used by princes and nobles?!”

After saying this, the eyes of everyone in the archaeological team also flickered.
It would be great if more exquisite mastery tools could be found among them. The research value would be quite high.

Just as they were talking, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded, and Professor Chen and others were immediately alert.
"Let's go and have a look!" Professor Chen said hurriedly.

The gunfire was so intensive, and hearing the gunfire, there were Chinese soldiers.
Either they were fighting with foreign forces, or they encountered monsters. No matter what it was, they had to rush to support.

however,
When Professor Chen and others opened the door, they were stunned on the spot.

This……!
They were fully aware that the house they were in was surrounded by a group of black snakes.

Jingjian Ahan is also known as the black-eyed monster snake and the giant-eyed serpent. Professor Chen and the others saw it when they were in the ancient city of Jingjue. It is a monster from the imaginary number space. Its status in the demon country is higher than that of Dapu ghost insects and wolves.

They have black tumors on the top of their heads that, like their eyes, are extremely sensitive to light.It has extremely strong vitality and can still attack for a short period of time after being cut into two pieces.

It has a short and thick body, strong and powerful, and can fly several meters in the air using the power of its body.It's so toxic that you'll die if you touch it, and you'll die if you touch it.

When Professor Chen saw these ferocious venomous snakes, he felt weak in his calves. The most dangerous thing he had ever encountered in his life was black snakes that could kill people in an instant.

"Where's the camera? Hurry!" Professor Chen said hurriedly.

Although this kind of black snake is scary, they are afraid of strong light, and the camera is their biggest nemesis.

"Professor, wait a minute, I'll be here right away." Someone from the archaeological team replied hurriedly.

At this time, a group of black snakes were already attacking, and everyone hurriedly fired to resist. The bullets were shot out as densely as if they were free of money. Now they had to delay until they took out their cameras.

With such intensive firepower, it was natural to take out the camera, but before the archaeological team could go to support, a large number of black snakes appeared on the roof of the house. The team members were shocked and rushed to take pictures. The strong bright light suddenly caused the black snakes on the roof to disappear. die.

But this was just a batch. Black snakes appeared continuously on the roof, restricting the camera.

As a result, the situation has become quite dangerous. If this continues, they will definitely not be able to resist it and just wait to feed the black snake.
