City Invincible Medical Saint

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Three

Li Tianchen said: "This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai was originally an object from the Tang Dynasty. It was later wiped off during the Ming Dynasty. Most of the imprints on it have been removed, but it is still faintly visible. Take a closer look next to the German seal."

With that, Li Tianchen stepped forward and pointed to the specific location.

Everyone stepped forward, and one of them lifted the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai under the light, and even picked up a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.

After a while, the person closest to him was surprised and said, "It seems that there are indeed."

Ji Lao's face changed slightly, and his eyes flashed with different colors.

"Well, there is a mark, it seems to be the word Dongwang."

"The bronzes in the Tang Dynasty were not very famous, but Li Bai was still famous at that time. It is also possible to cast this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai. The seal has the word Dongwang, which should refer to the mythological Dongwang."

"Speaking of which, it is really possible that this ancient artifact is a bronze ware of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's too sloppy to tell the time just based on this shallow mark."

...

Zheng Yingbo said strangely: "Why do you see the mark on it?"

He sat there with his eyes widened and he couldn't see it, and the experts in the antique industry could only vaguely see with a magnifying glass.

Li Tianchen smiled faintly, his eyesight is naturally far beyond ordinary people, but this is inconvenient to explain.

"It is sloppy to rely on the imprint alone, but you can take a look at the base. The base looks like the statue, but it was actually added after the Ming Dynasty. After wiping it, you can see the color of the base and the statue. Difference." Li Tianchen reminded: "Or it can be seen with a special instrument that these are two slightly different materials."

This time, the faces of everyone present finally changed, and their gazes at Li Tianchen were different from before. They put away their frivolity and looked squarely at the young man in front of them.

Guan Guoan glanced at Li Tianchen in shock, then quickly walked over, picked up the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai, and ran to an instrument in the corner.

The crowd gathered around, and Ji Lao couldn't sit still and walked over.

Seeing infrared scanning, an image appeared on the screen, and after some scanning and analysis, the image really showed that the base of the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai was somewhat different from the bronze statue.

"It's actually true."

"This young man is not simple, his eyes are so harsh."

"Things from the Tang Dynasty were restored once in the Ming Dynasty. No wonder we all looked away."

"The value of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai, I'm afraid..."

...

Everyone looked shocked. After looking at each other, they didn't speak, but their eyes looked at Guan Guoan with envy.

Such an antiquities with two years of age endows ordinary antiquities with different added value. As a result, the price is naturally rising, and it is a rare treasure.

Guan Guoan didn't understand where he was, and was ecstatic.

Ji Lao's complexion was ugly, and Li Tianchen actually got it right. This is a naked face. He is a highly respected and unique character in the antique industry in Hong Kong, but at the moment he is embarrassed.

"Forgive me for my blindness, I don't know which master's closed disciple you are?"

Ji Lao looked at Li Tianchen with deep eyes.

In his opinion, only some high-status masters in the antique industry can train such a powerful disciple.

Li Tianchen smiled faintly, "I'm just an ordinary person, with no pedigree, and I only occasionally discover it. I don't know much about antiques."

Ji Lao has hot cheeks. Without knowing much, he can see the mystery of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai at a glance. What about these old guys who have been immersed in antiques for decades?

"How do you determine that this is a thing from the Tang Dynasty?"

Ji Lao is still not convinced.

Just because of the difference between the imprint and the material, Li Tianchen can only say that Li Tianchen has amazing eyesight and high attainments, but it is still impossible to prove that this drunken sculpture of Li Bai is a work of the Tang Dynasty.

Guan Guoan's expression of excitement gradually calmed down, and he looked at Li Tianchen, "Yes, this brother, how can you conclude that it is from the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone present looked at Li Tianchen, their eyes full of questions.

Li Tianchen calmly said, "This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai has a style of the Tang Dynasty. I think you are all experts, and you have already seen it. The word "Dongwang" is not the common "Dongwang", but Dongwang Temple."

"East King Temple?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.

Ji Lao said solemnly: "East King Temple? Young man, if the name of the temple was carved on this bronze statue, not to mention whether it is true or not, how do you prove the three characters of East King Temple? Now it can only be vaguely seen on it. The word Dongwang."

Several other old people in the antique world nodded one after another. It would be understandable if they were engraved with the Eastern Prince. After all, the legends of the Eastern Prince and the Western Queen will be engraved on many antiquities. But Dongwang Temple, this is clearly the name of a temple, and Li Tianchen has no evidence, which seems too far-fetched to convince the crowd.

Li Tianchen walked over and took the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai from Guan Guoan, gently groping for the hip flask at the back of the bronze statue, where the light print of the word “Dongwang” was there.

Li Tianchen took out the Xuanbing needle from the mustard bag and scratched the bottom of the flask with the tip of the needle. The old patina was scraped off, and a word gradually appeared.

"temple!"

Li Tianchen lifted up the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai and showed everyone the temple characters under it.

"There really is a temple word."

"This word is actually hidden in the patina. No wonder I didn't see it just now."

"Tsk tusk, I have studied antiques for decades, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of strange verification technique."

"None of us can see how he did it?"

...

Everyone talked a lot, and their eyes on Li Tianchen flashed with surprise and admiration.

Li Tianchen continued to scrape with the Xuanbing needle for a while, and the words "Tongling of the Second Year of the Great Tang Tianyou" gradually appeared under the flask.

When all the fonts were revealed, Li Tianchen put away the Xuanbing needle and placed the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai on the table. "You can be sure now that this bronze ware is from the second year of Datang Tianyou, right?"

Ji Lao's face changed again, but it was different from the previous one. In the ugly expression, there was more shock.

He just discovered some clues just now, but he didn't confirm it, especially when the handwriting was hidden in the patina under the flask, he didn't know.

"How do you know that there is a handwriting under this?" Ji Lao stared at Li Tianchen, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know it before?"

Li Tianchen said calmly: "The facts have proved that I am correct. As for why I knew it, there is no need to tell you." After that, he turned his head and looked at Guan Guoan, "Boss Guan, I want to buy a few antiques. Is it convenient? ?"

Seeing Li Tianchen directly ignoring him, Ji Lao's face was pale, and his eyes burst with anger. He is respected in the antique industry in Hong Kong. He has never been so despised, especially as a young man.

Guan Guoan was both admired and shocked at Li Tianchen at the moment, and immediately said: "Of course you can, you can pick my items here, the price is easy to say."
