Volume 3 - Tomb of the Fox Fairy Chapter 50 - Bronze Wares
When Xu Tian saw Li Kun tilting the bottle, he quickly lay on the ground and looked at the bottom of the bottle. After seeing the steel seal on the bottom of the bottle, Xu Tian suddenly looked surprised and turned to look at me and Li Kun beside him.
Kun said in surprise: "This is not only a good treasure, it is worth thousands of gold."
After listening to Xu Tian's words, several of us also walked to Xu Tian and looked at the copper bottles in front of us. However, after observing for a long time, we found that these copper bottles were relatively heavy and the patterns and carvings on them were beautiful.
What's the difference.
Xu Tian turned around and looked at the rest of us. When he saw that we all looked puzzled, he said, "You laymen, let me tell you what this is. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will
The cloud store will definitely go bankrupt."
Li Kun and we smiled awkwardly, and Xu Tian pointed to the first copper bottle and said, "You two know about bronzes, right?"
Li Kun and we looked at each other, and we both saw surprised looks in each other's eyes. I asked, "Old Xu, is it possible that these are all bronzes?"
Xu Tian nodded and said: "Yes, this row is full of bronzes. Look, the inscriptions and carvings on this bronze are obviously from the early Western Zhou Dynasty."
As he spoke, Xu Tian carefully observed the bronzes in front of him and said: "Bronzes were most prosperous in the late Shang Dynasty and early Western Zhou Dynasty, and even reached the peak of bronzes, and the bronzes in front of us are all ritual vessels.
In ancient times, it was used specifically for sacrifices or sacrifices."
"Look at the body of this copper vase."
Xu Tian raised his hand and pointed to a dragon head on the bottle and said: "There is a person in the mouth of this dragon head, and this person was the high priest at that time. The dragon head points to the sky."
Li Kun asked with some confusion: "Lao Xu, why is this bottle such a color? Is it a fake?"
Xu Tian rolled his eyes at Li Kun and said, "What do you know? In ancient times, bronzes were called "gold" or "auspicious gold." They were alloys of red copper, tin, lead, etc. The bronzes were golden when they were cast.
, but the unearthed bronze turned green after it rusted due to the passage of time.”
After finishing speaking, Xu Tian looked at the several bronze bottles in front of him and said: "If I guessed correctly, these bronzes should all be from the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Starting from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there were various types of bronzes.
The inscriptions are thick and dignified, the inscriptions are gradually lengthening, and the patterns are complicated and gorgeous. The inscriptions on the bronze bottles in front of us are relatively long, so they are obviously objects from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
After finishing speaking, Xu Tian turned to look at us and said: "But because these bronze bottles are ritual vessels, at that time, the production methods of bronze vessels were basically the same. There were basically no similarities. There were similarities, but they were not the same model.
, if there is, it is also a forgery."
"But these around us are indeed genuine. It should be because these ritual vessels were eliminated at that time that they were bought and kept. Otherwise, they would not be placed in this place."
I asked: "Lao Xu, is this thing valuable?"
Xu Tian nodded and said: "It's not just high, it's simply ridiculously high. Each of these bronzes is priceless. You can buy any of them. We handed it over to the museum before.
That blue and white jade belt cost dozens of dollars."
After saying that, Li Kun and several of us were silent. Yes, these bronzes are indeed priceless, but we have no way to take them out. Although we can take them out one by one, there is probably no one to take these things out.
If you dare to collect it, if we hand it over to the museum, we will definitely be investigated. By then, we will definitely be unable to defend ourselves.
Xu Tian had no such idea. Xu Tian stood up and looked back and forth among the bronze vessels. At this moment, Xu Tian saw a small object, and then he quickly stood up and walked over.
Seeing Xu Tian's actions, several of us followed and walked over. Xu Tian picked up a relatively small "jue" in the corner. This "jue" is the kind often used by ancient nobles or emperors.
A wine cup for holding wine has a round belly with a flow for pouring wine in front, a tail at the back, a handle (handle) on the side, two pillars at the mouth, and three pointed legs at the bottom.
Seeing this thing, Xu Tian suddenly laughed. After picking it up and observing it carefully for a while, Xu Tian also nodded and said: "This thing should also be an object from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it is an imitation. Although this is
It’s a replica, but it has some value and can be collected.”
After saying that, Xu Tian handed Jue to me and said: "Old Liu, put this thing into my backpack. It can be put in our store when the time comes. Remember, this thing cannot be sold, it can only be used."
Come and collect it, otherwise you will be in trouble." I nodded and put it into Xu Tian's backpack.
After Xu Tian looked around again and found that there was nothing small and easy to carry, he raised his head and looked at the ancient books on the display rack around us.
When Li Kun and we saw Xu Tian's actions, we reluctantly looked away from these bronzes. If these bronzes were not too big, we would definitely take a few out and put them in the shop as a store decoration.
Treasure, but you should always be on guard at that time.
A few of us looked at the ancient books on the display rack. The first row on the left were bamboo slips made of bamboo slices and were neatly rolled up on the display rack. The middle row was made of cloth and brocade, and the right row was made of bamboo slips.
On the side are some hand prayers made of wooden boards.
I was more curious about these bamboo slips, so I walked to the first row and picked up a roll to look at it. But as soon as I took it in my hand, I heard a crash and all the bamboo slips in my hand fell to the ground.
Seeing this, I also gave a bitter smile, no matter how good things are, they can't withstand the corrosion of time, and the two people around me are almost the same as me, that is, Xu Tian's place is relatively better.
Li Kun picked up a piece of cloth and looked at it, but it turned into a pile of debris as soon as he touched it. Xu Tian, on the other hand, picked up a hand prayer made of wooden boards, but
What made Xu Tian dumbfounded was that the writing on it could no longer be seen at all, and the hand prayers were full of small holes that had been eaten by insects.
Xu Tian put the hand prayer back on the display shelf, walked to me, and said, "It seems that apart from these bronzes, there is nothing else to look at. Let's get ready to go out."
A few of us nodded, and Li Kun asked: "Old Xu, do you think there is any decent treasure in this tomb that can be taken away?"
Xu Tian spread his hands and said: "Then I don't know, but based on my feeling, I think it must be there. We even encountered bronzes from the Western Zhou Dynasty, let alone gold and silver treasures. I
I guess we just didn't find the right place. There must be some kind of treasure room in this tomb."
Seeing Xu Tian arguing with Li Kun with a serious face, I also snickered. After hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Kun immediately became energetic, paused, and said: "That's great, if we
If I find the treasure room, Master Li must fill up my backpack."
Xu Tian said with a smile: "Stop dreaming, you are taking them all away. Remember the sect rules. If you violate the sect rules, our ancestors will come to you. If nothing else, even the senior Qiulongshanshan will come to you."
I won’t let you go. Don’t forget, you are in his lineage. If he finds out that you violated the sect’s rules, he won’t be able to take your skin off to worship the previous heads.”
After hearing what Xu Tian said, Li Kun chuckled and said, "That's what I said. How could I do that? Are you right, Liu?"
I smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right, how could we, Comrade Li, do this? It must be evacuated."
After saying that, Xu Tian and we both burst into laughter, but Li Kun slapped me angrily and said, "Old Liu, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't ridicule me for a day."
Xu Tian said with a smile: "Okay, let's go out and continue to explore the front. Maybe there is some kind of treasure room. Although we can't take it away, it's okay to satisfy our eyesight."
Li Kun nodded quickly and said, "Then leave quickly. I have never seen so many gold and silver treasures."
I said, "Okay, let's set off now and continue to check ahead."
After saying that, I walked out first, followed by Big Dog, followed by Xu Tian and Li Kun.
The big dog then said to Xu Tian: "Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable and know so many things."
Xu Tian smiled and said, "I have been playing with these since I was a child. Although I have never seen real bronzes, I can still tell them apart at a glance."
With that said, the few of us continued to walk forward one by one. As we walked, the few of us chatted, and the atmosphere began to relax. We had no idea that the danger was already approaching us.
After walking for a while, the corridor began to become wider, and the corridor began to slowly bend to our right.
After walking for a few minutes, a few of us saw the entrance to a great hall in front of us. After seeing a great hall not far in front of us, we also became vigilant.
I said to Li Kun: "No. 2, start alert. You pay attention to the left side, and I will pay attention to the right side."
After saying that, Li Kun raised the muzzle of his gun, leaned close to the right side of the corridor, and aimed at the left side of the hall. I picked up the Type 87 and stood on the left side, aiming at the right side of the hall.
Li Kun said: "No. 2 is ready and you can enter at any time."
I said: "After entering, you can shoot and kill enemies directly. That's it."
Li Kun said: "Received, ready to enter, three, two, one, enter."
