The Sacred Ding

middle age person said very little, turned around and walked to the main room, everyone else followed.

Opening the door, on the table of the Eight Immortals in the center of the hall, next to the wall, placed a bottle of four-legged black square tripod, about one foot high.

A square tripod of this size, among the bronzes that have been unearthed in China, if it is a pocket-sized one, you can see that the tripod has a slender and lifelike Azure Dragon surrounded by four legs. , The dragon head and dragon tail are raised high, as the two tripod ears of the Fang Ding, which can be held.

The light in the room was very dim, and there was no light source hitting the table of the Eight Immortals. Standing at the door, Chen Hai was surprisingly able to see the details of the black square tripod.

Not only the Azure Dragon carved on the tripod body, but also the azure scales are clearly visible, and Chen Hai can also see clearly the inscriptions on the tripod body that are as small as a petite.

There is no rust on the body of the tripod. Azure Dragon has blue scales and red heads, and the color is still very bright. It definitely does not look like it was just excavated from the ancient tomb, but it reveals a simple and clumsy thing. breath.

More strangely, the Azure Dragon carved on the tripod body is like a living creature, and Chen Hai has an inexplicable sense of mental oppression of being stared at.

“It’s not like paint…” Someone walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, staring at Xiao Fangding and asked in confusion, but there was no doubt that there was a fake, cautiously reached out and touched the ears of Longshouding. took a deep breath and said in amazement, “It’s hot…”

The ground is dusty for thousands of years. What paint can see the light and not weather, but still keep it bright as new?

The other party really wants to set up the old situation, and will put a lot of effort to avoid showing these laughable and generous feet.

Seeing that the middle age person didn’t mean to stop, Chen Hai also reached out to touch the body of the tripod. The body of the tripod was as cold as ice, but the sacred Azure Dragon engraved around the tripod body looked positive. The burning carbon fire made Chen Hai yelling, but his hand was pulled back abruptly, but he didn’t feel burnt at all.

What a hell.

Chen Hai took a closer look at the engraving of Azure Dragon’s green scales and red head. The color is very bright, but it is not painted with paint, more like it is directly cast with some radioactive non-ferrous metal.

Thinking of this, Chen Hai was shocked, and subconsciously hid back: Radioactive metal is not a fun thing!

“We have tested with metal flaw detection equipment on the site, and there is no radioactivity…”

Chen Hai’s subconsciously action attracted the attention of the middle age person, and he was obviously aware of Chen Hai The careful and cautious. Probably it was the sympathy of fellow fellows, who had always been reticent, so he came over to explain a little bit to Chen Hai.

Seeing other people’s confusion, Chen Hai smiled awkwardly, knowing that no one else had thought of going up here, and then seriously looked at black cauldron. He couldn’t see the metal engraving Azure Dragon around the tripod body, but it was integrated with the tripod body, and there was no trace of splicing. Apart from other words, the level of craftsmanship at this level is breathtaking.

Chen Hai walked to the front of the black cauldron, and he felt like being stared at by Azure Dragon. It was very uncomfortable, as if this savage Azure Dragon was a living thing. It was a hell of a ghost.

Chen Hai doesn’t know if other people are the same as him. They have the strange feeling of being stared at by Azure Dragon, but looking at the way other people are focused, one thing is certain. Others have already dispelled their doubts at this time. , I no longer think that this tripod is a fake that the other party has set up.

Otherwise, seeing the newly unearthed small cauldron, which is as bright as new and has no trace of rust, everyone would have walked out.

The dozens of people present, although no one has studied archeology as seriously as Chen Hai, they are half experts in this circle. Even if the opponent wants to set up a game, You should work hard on the old. Chen Hai is more inclined to believe that this small cauldron looks like this when it was unearthed.

What kind of bronze is it, after thousands of years in the ground, there is no rust?

“Can you tell what period this tripod is?” Gu Fatty asked Chen Hai under her throat.

Gu Fatty, who has always been cautious about slipping away, did not suspect that this tripod was fraudulent.

Chen Hai shook the head, there is nothing to say.

Chen Hai studied history as an undergraduate, and graduated from Northeastern University with a major in archeology. He mainly studies bronzes from the pre-Qin period and is very familiar with inscriptions from the Shang and Zhou periods.

In fact, there were obvious differences in bronze inscriptions and shapes and styles in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Later generations mainly used these differences in style to infer the age of bronzes.

Chen Hai can be said to be an expert in this area. Otherwise, with his net worth by an order of magnitude worse than Gu Fatty, it is impossible to be pulled by Gu Fatty to participate in this secret transaction.

And this black square tripod, whether the dragon tail is the tripod ears, the dragon claw is the four-legged shape, or the inscription ancient seal, Chen Hai is very strange, in his impression At present, none of the Shang and Zhou bronzes unearthed in China is similar to it.

And the tripod body all around thousands of ancient seals with inscriptions, he didn’t even recognize them, and every small inscription with ancient seals was so vivid, it seemed to contain strange power.

The middle age person took out another jade ring. It was said to be a ring. It was mainly shaped like a jade hand, but in terms of size, it was more like a jade hand bracelet, whose fingers would be as thick as a wrist.

Compared with the black cauldron, the gray and somewhat incomplete jade ring appears ordinary, but it is more like an old product that has been dusted underground for thousands of years.

“The tomb is buried and cannot be seen, but you should have taken more live photos?” Su Qian asked.

Everyone has seen some photos before, but only one is a live photo. The angle of the shooting is not good. You can’t see anything from the collapsed mud pit on the live photo.

At this time, Su Qian wanted to see more live photos. Others also had these meanings, staring at the middle age person.

“This is…”

The middle age person took out a domestic mobile phone and pulled out more than a dozen live photos, which can almost piece together the panorama of the scene and give everyone a turn Look through.

Chen Hai stood beside Su Qian, and saw that she took the phone and withdrew inadvertently. It seemed that the time and location of these live photos were determined from other photos, but Chen Hai was quickly caught in the phone. The photo attracts the past.

It is definitely not an ordinary noble tomb in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The scene in the photo is more like a giant hall, or a corner of a giant hall, with only two black remnants at right angles buried deep in a certain The basement of the mountain range.

The two residual walls seem to have been cut by some sharp tool. The metal luster is reflected under the exposure lamp of the mobile phone. The whole residual wall is actually made of some kind of black metal, and from the photo The excavator inferred that each residual wall is at least seventeen-eighteen meters high.

From the remnants of the giant relief attached to the wall, it can be inferred that these two walls are only a small part of the whole giant hall, and how majestic the unimaginable complete giant hall will be.

The remnant wall looks plain and unremarkable, and it’s hard to get a glimpse of its appearance from a small corner relief, but the cut is extremely smooth, and there are also extremely strange, but it seems that there are some regular regular patterns, like countless Ancient seal scripts joined together.

How can the cuts of the metal block that are smelted as a whole have regular and ancient seal lines?

If these two remnant walls have been buried under the ground for thousands of years, what is it in the Shang and Zhou dynasties or the ages older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties? A metal remnant wall ten several meters long, Is it so neatly cut?

Even in modern times, Earth has no ability to cast such a large metal component as a whole!

Once this place is released to the world, it is destined to be an archaeological discovery that shocked the world, but Chen Hai, as an antique, will not care about it.

Chen Hai believes that other people have questions of this and that. Next, the middle age person wants everyone to hand over their phones. No one refuses. They all follow the middle age person through the back door of the yard through a narrower one. In the alley, a bus stopped at the entrance of the alley, waiting for everyone.

Middle age person arranges everyone to sit in the back half of the bus, and the windows of the second half are covered with a light-shielding film to block everyone’s vision and you can’t see where the bus will go go with.

It can be seen that the other party also considered this transaction quite carefully, more like a professional tomb gang, rather than the construction team that accidentally found Shang and Zhou tombs on the construction site.

Of course, everyone only cares about whether the other party has the genuine product, and doesn’t care whether the other party is a tomb gang or a construction team.

Black Canding also moved on to the bus. The black cauldron looked just one foot tall and the wall was not thick, but it was unexpectedly heavy. A middle age person and three youngsters with strong muscles Putting down the black cauldron, already sweating profusely.

Chen Hai sits in the middle of the back row, facing the black cauldron in the aisle, and the ferocious dragon head and Ding’s ears are facing him. He can’t get rid of the Azure Dragon. The strange feeling of staring, as if the Azure Dragon carved by black cauldron has a soul.

The bus went out of the city, the road was a little bumpy, a sudden stop, Chen Hai was staring at the black cauldron in a trance, he was thrown out of his seat unexpectedly and hit the black cauldron. on.

It’s not very painful. Chen Hai stroking the black cauldron and got up embarrassedly. Through the front window of the car, he saw a young man in front of him, scared and stupefied. He was almost hit by a bus and the driver yelled.

Su Qian handed over the paper towel, and Chen Hai realized that there was heat flowing from the nasal cavity, and a pool of nosebleeds had dripped into the black cauldron.

Other people’s attention was attracted by the car accident that almost happened. Chen Hai took the tissue and covered his nose, looked inside the black cauldron, and wanted to wipe off the nosebleed with another tissue.

At this time, a strange scene appeared. The nosebleed that he dripped into the black cauldron was slowly permeating into the cauldron wall, and there were faint rays of light on the cauldron, intertwined in the center of the black cauldron. Come out a three-dimensional picture of the size of a square inch, imitating the Buddha Mountain river scroll, mountain range, rivers, and seas of clouds. The Azure Dragon cast on that end seems to have come alive, condensing into a Dao Void. The shadow is fiercely flying in the sea of ​​clouds…

Chen Hai was startled, thinking that he was dazzled, rubbing his eyes and looking again, there was nothing in the black cauldron, and even the nosebleeds he dripped were completely gone.

Seeing a ghost, this black cauldron can suck blood, and Chen Hai’s hair is standing up!

Chen Hai spread out the tissue he was covering his nose, and he was already blushed by nosebleeds. I am sure that it was not an illusion just now, but the picture scroll of black cauldron intertwined and cohesive, what the hell is that?

Su Qian looked at her head in confusion, but saw that there was nothing in the black cauldron. She glanced at Chen Hai suspiciously, wondering why he looked at a ghost.

At this time, the others noticed Chen Hai’s broken nose, and they all laughed when he saw him fall embarrassed.
