Chapter 538: Hidden Treasure in the Secret Room

…… Also because of Wang Kun's ability, Yang Zhicheng, who was originally just an ordinary tomb robber, developed into a large-scale tomb robbery gang in the five provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi in less than five years.

And this Yang Zhicheng didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't confide in Wang Kun's existence after being arrested, so the latter survived!

And the first owner of Liu Dong's No. 1 villa in Wohu Mountain was the famous tomb robber Yang Zhicheng, so when he saw Wang Kun's record, Liu Dong also remembered this stubble!

After Yang Zhicheng and his tomb robbery gang disappeared, Wang Kun was also honest for a while, but he had been stimulated by the greed in his heart by the huge profits of tens of millions of dollars a year, so he naturally would not be satisfied with the Jinyuge antique shop with a profit of only about 10 million yuan all year round.

Therefore, after Wang Kun felt that the rumors of Yang Zhicheng's tomb robbery case had passed, he began to take the initiative to contact other tomb robbery gangs. And in the thousand-year-old city of Quancheng, there will never be a shortage of tomb robbers who come to sell stolen goods, and Liu Dong has encountered it once or twice!

However, after Yang Zhicheng's lesson, Wang Kun also became cautious, and every transaction was disguised, first paying funds to buy the cultural relics in the other party's hands, and then selling them according to his own channels, so that even if something happened to the tomb robbers. He won't be implicated either.

That's it. At his peak, Wang Kun established a stable cooperative relationship with as many as 15 tomb robber gangs from all over the country. Nothing has happened until now!

However, now it seems that God can't see his behavior, and directly sent Liu Dong, the killer star, to him, and happened to witness the other party's transaction with the Japanese Fujita Ichiro!

And Liu Dong, who was naturally disgusted with the Japanese, finally chose to kill the killer!

The ancients often said that 'chivalry is forbidden by martial arts', and Liu Dong, who is high and bold, is now in this state!

After putting away the diary and what Liu Dong thought was valuable, he skipped the bed next to the writing desk, and Liu Dong came to the foot of the bed, where four large camphor wooden boxes were placed. Each one is one meter and two long, eighty centimeters wide and high, and because it is not locked, Liu Dong easily opened one of the boxes!

After picking up one and opening it, it was actually "Clear Snow Picture" by Wang Shimin, one of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty! After opening it, it was "Bamboo and Stone Picture" by Wu Changshuo, one of the three masters of the Shanghai School!

Because the time is limited, and there are too many scrolls in the box, Liu Dong only judged from the aura that there are 65 ancient paintings in this large box, most of which are works from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There are only 25 paintings from the Ming and early Qing dynasties, and only 3 before the Yuan dynasty. Among them, the most precious is the "Yunyan Xiao Temple Map" of the five generations of Southern Tang Dynasty landscape masters!

Not surprisingly, there was another camphor wood box next to it, all of which were calligraphy scrolls.

And the number of calligraphy scrolls is slightly more than calligraphy and painting, there are 78 pieces, the majority of the Ming and Qing dynasties, 17 pieces before the Yuan Dynasty, the most precious two pieces, one is one of the "eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasty" Ouyang Xun's "teacher table" volume!

The other is the same Tang and Song Dynasty one of the eight masters of Su Zhe's "Four Ancient Poems" volume, and this Su Zhe is also extraordinary, in addition to being the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, but also with his father Su Xun, younger brother Su Shi and called 'Sansu', his calligraphy is a thousand years later, also known as a national treasure!

In the past, calligraphy, in the next is the stele, any calligraphy and painting master in the study is indispensable to the stele zài. And the precious inscription, its value is not inferior to those famous calligraphy and painting handwriting!

In the third large wooden box, there are a total of 118 pieces of inscriptions, only 25 before the Yuan Dynasty, less than calligraphy, the most precious one of them is the Yuan carving of the Eastern Han Dynasty "Xiyue Huashan Temple Tablet", on which there are 135 seals of collectors of the past dynasties, including Zhu Zhishan and Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty calligraphy, as well as Wang Shizhen, a great poet of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie, one of the eight strange "poetry, calligraphy and painting" of Yangzhou, and so on!

The last wooden box is full of rare books, and the four boxes are the most, with a total of nearly 214 volumes! The most precious thing is a set of seven-volume Song engraving "Lenga Abhadra Treasure Sutra", which is also called "Lenga Sutra" in modern times, but there is no so-called Jiuyang Shengong in Jinda!

After Liu Dong put away the four big boxes, he felt regretful and a little happy at the same time, it was a pity that Wang Kun had left here and not sold nearly 500 pieces of calligraphy and paintings, tablets and ancient books, so how many of them would have been sold by him in the past ten years? Two, three, or nine times, ten times, Liu Dong does not know, but there must be a lot of them!

Thinking of these, Liu Dong was greatly distressed.

In fact, Liu Dong misunderstood, in the past nearly ten years of reselling cultural relics, there were not too many paintings, calligraphy, inscriptions, and ancient books flowing out of Wang Kun's hands, because the most popular Chinese collections abroad are still porcelain and bronze! Therefore, almost every time he contacted foreign buyers, Wang Kun mainly used porcelain and bronze, taking into account jade, plus a small number of calligraphy and paintings, as well as other kinds of cultural relics such as bamboo, wood, tooth and horn ware.

"Fortunately, there are still a lot left!" Liu Dong rejoiced in his heart, and put the four camphor wood boxes into the mustard seed space.

After putting away these large wooden boxes, Liu Dong turned to a row of iron shelves placed next to them against the wall, probably because of the limited size of the entrance to the secret room, so the height of these shelves was no more than one meter two, and on these shelves were placed porcelain, jade, pottery, boneware, ancient glass, red, bamboo, wood and hornware, gold and silverware, as well as lacquerware that surprised Liu Dong, and it was also Han Dynasty lacquerware! I really don't know that the literate tomb robber stole these lacquerware and carried out simple protection, at least these lacquerware before the Han Dynasty are not obviously damaged, and the colors are also very bright!

The shelves where these things are placed around the entire 3,300-square-meter underground secret room are placed in a circle, Liu Dong simply counted, there should be more than 1,500 pieces of cultural relics on these shelves! And there are many precious cultural relics, at least the 86 pieces of pre-Qin, Qin and Han lacquerware that Liu Dong counted are all first- and second-class cultural relics!

In addition, there are many official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties in porcelain, and ancient glaze is even rarer.

In short, this collection of more than 1,000 pieces greatly supplements the deficiencies in Liu Dong's collection!

Of course, the rest of the things placed in the center of the entire space are also the things that Liu Dong is most interested in, that is, the bronzes! Even with more than 10,000 bronzes in the tomb of King Chuzhuang, the bronzes still make Liu Dong feel excited. Because the bronze age in the tomb of King Chuzhuang is too single, it is basically the Spring and Autumn Period.

There are more than 300 bronzes in the Qin and Han dynasties, more than 250 bronzes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, more than 100 bronzes in the Western Zhou Dynasty, 56 bronzes in the Shang Dynasty, and 24 bronzes in the Xia Dynasty!

Among these nearly 800 bronzes, there are more than 100 pieces with inscriptions, and the most precious is a four-legged bronze tripod with a height of 55 centimeters, a diameter of 46 centimeters, and a weight of about 38 kilograms.

Although compared to the companion next to him, the height is 98 centimeters, the weight is 204 kilograms, the diameter is about 75.6 centimeters, and there are 134 inscriptions, three beast feet, three groups of gluttonous patterns and cloud and thunder patterns around the body, the beginning of the four-legged tripod is half smaller, and the ornamentation on the body is not so exquisite, but Liu Dong still thinks that this four-legged tripod is the most precious among all the bronzes.

Because his body shimmered with a strong purple aura, this four-legged tripod with 233 inscriptions is a bronze from the middle of the Xia Dynasty.

It is more than 500 years earlier than the three-legged bronze tripod of the late three-legged Shang Dynasty just now!

Moreover, although the Xia Dynasty bronze casting developed rapidly, it is rare to see large bronzes in today's archaeological excavations, and this four-legged bronze tripod is big enough!

In addition to these two big tripods, there is also a set of 13 bells from the Western Zhou Dynasty next to it, which is the third most precious thing among the thousands of bronzes!

In addition to the bronzes, Liu Dong also found two large stone piers with a height of 45-60 cm and a diameter of about 60 cm on each side, each side is not too regular, but it is engraved with words, but Liu Dong does not think that this is a stone pier, because the yellow aura on it is too dazzling!

And Liu Dong, who had visited the Palace Museum, recognized these two stone piers at a glance as the famous 'Qin carved stone drum'!

The stone inscription of the pre-Qin inscription of the stone drum inscription, the stone inscription that has survived in our country to this day, belongs to the earliest and most representative time of the "Stone Drum Inscription". The stone is drum-shaped, a total of ten drums, respectively engraved with a four-word poem, the diameter is about three feet. The content describes the hunting of the monarch of Qin, so it is also called "hunting". Because it was abandoned in Chencang Yunye, it is also called "Chencang Ten Jie".

The stone drum script is the earliest existing stone inscription in China, and is known as the 'ancestor of stone carving'. The original is ten stones that are similar to the shape of the drum, a total of ten, two feet high, more than one foot in diameter, the top is thin and the bottom is thick and slightly round (it is really a pillar-shaped), each stone drum is engraved with a poem of four words in the script, a total of ten, the handwriting is worn a lot, the Tang people do not know, look at it like a round drum, so they give it the name of the stone drum text.
