Shi Jinyan perked up when he heard this, and asked with interest: "What, among those old things, there are really good things?"

It's been a while since he came out of the mountains, and Chu Ning hasn't mentioned the pile of old things. Shi Jin almost thought that Chu Ning really wanted to break the fortune and avoid disasters, so he would let him buy those old things.

"Of course!"

Chu Ning knew that Shi Jin didn't want to remind himself of those innocent women in the village, so he smiled and carried the broken sack they brought out from the mountain from the back seat, and took out a bronze vessel with a large size.

"There's nothing to say about the tattered porcelain, just ordinary modern items, and the firing time is not more than thirty years ago. Chu Ning gently stroked the bronze in his hand and said, "Although the other bronzes have some origins, they are not rare. Only this one in my hand is a real treasure. ”

"Bronze?" Shi Jin glanced at the thing in Chu Ning's hand, and said with some surprise, "How can there be bronze in this mountain?"

"It's because of the appearance of these bronzes that I think there should be ancient tombs in this mountain!" Chu Ning said with a smile, "These bronzes should have been picked up by the villagers when they went out to do farm work, and even they didn't take these things to heart." Otherwise, there wouldn't be just a few bronzes in that village. ”

There are ancient tombs with bronze objects, which are old enough!

Shi Jin smiled bitterly: "It seems that I still have to call my superiors again, and after the matter of saving innocent women is resolved this time, I have to send another group of people and experts to come over to investigate the environment there and find the specific location of the ancient tomb." ”

Chu Ning nodded and said, "This is required." However, the tomb is a dead thing, and it can't move, so there is no need to rush it. And the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the instrument is not easy to transport into it. The top priority is to get the living out first. ”

Even if Chu Ning likes antiques, in her heart, human life is still much more important than antiques.

Even those people, she didn't even know at all.

"By the way, didn't you say that the bronze in your hand is a treasure?" Shi Jin suddenly remembered, "What the hell is this?"

"You haven't seen this yet?" Chu Ning raised her eyebrows and said, "This is a ding!"

Ding, in the history of bronze, occupies a very important position.

In the beginning, it was used for cooking in ancient times. Later, it developed into a sacrificial object, and was even regarded as a heavy weapon for the establishment of a country, representing the national fortune and political power of a country.

Therefore, the bronze tripods unearthed in China are not uncommon, and there are many differences in volume and quality.

The most famous tripod in our country should be the Simu Wuding in the late Shang Dynasty.

Simu Wuding is the world's largest and heaviest unearthed bronze ritual vessel, also known as the king of Ding, is the treasure of the town and the country, such as treasures, attracting worldwide attention.

In addition to Simu Wuding, the Siyang Fangzun in the late Shang Dynasty is also very famous as a bronze ritual vessel.

The casting techniques of Siyang Fangzun and Simu Wuding are different, and they are also made of the highest and exquisite bronze casting techniques at that time, which are extremely exquisite, and are also the national treasures of our country.

The tripod in Chu Ning's hand is naturally incomparable to Simu Wuding and Siyang Fangzun. But it is a product of the same period as Siyang Fangzun, and the casting technology is also very exquisite, and it is also a fine product in bronze!

"This tripod also has an official name, which is called the human face square tripod. Chu Ning wiped off most of the soil stained on the four sides of the tripod's belly, revealing the true face of this tripod, "You see, on all four sides of this tripod's belly, there are human face reliefs as decoration, and these human face reliefs are very realistic, rich in layers, and the theme is also very clear. Such a human face Fang Ding, there is no record in the history of our country, and only one has been unearthed in China before, and now it is collected in the Hunan Provincial Museum, and it has always been considered unique in the world. This one in my hand is the second in this world. ”

Shi Jin was suddenly taken aback, and only then did he really understand how valuable the tripod in Chu Ning's hand was.

"Chu Chu, can you be sure that this Ding is genuine?" asked Shi Jin cautiously.

Chu Ning smiled: "If I can't even be sure of this, I don't have the confidence to open an antique shop." The statue in my hand is in line with the late Shang Dynasty in terms of historical traces, and its style is also the style of that time. Coupled with the evidence of several other bronzes, I am very sure that this human-faced square tripod is a real fine bronze antique from the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, it is precisely because of its appearance that I am sure that there will be an ancient tomb village near that village that has not yet been excavated!"

For thousands of years, the ancient tomb hidden in the depths of the mountain was afraid of some damage, so some of the burial goods in the tomb were scattered and picked up by nearby villagers.

But the villagers didn't know much about antiques, and after picking up the bronzes, they were only curious for a while, and never thought to explore their origins.

Therefore, in addition to the damage caused by the invasion of history and natural disasters, Chu Ning is completely sure that this thousand-year-old tomb that has not yet been discovered will definitely not have traces of damage!

Shi Jin solemnly glanced at the person in Chu Ning's hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Bronze is the most important weapon of the country, especially this kind of newly unearthed and excavated, which is generally not allowed to be collected privately." Chu Chu, do you want to keep this tripod in your own hands?"

Chu Ning really didn't think of this before, and was suddenly silent.

It was the first time she had seen such a rare and delicate bronze, and of course she wanted to collect it herself.

"The newly unearthed bronzes are not allowed to be collected, but those bronzes with a history of inheritance, aren't there still a lot of them in the hands of private collectors?" Chu Ning rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea, "I want to leave this statue!"

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, then leave this matter to me!" However, before the matter is officially decided, you had better put this Ding away first, and don't let outsiders see it, so as not to cause trouble." ”

For him, this is a small thing, but it is more or less necessary to pay attention.

In fact, Chu Ning can also do this by herself, but since Shi Jin took the initiative to take care of the matter, she was happy and relaxed.

The two rested in the township for a night, and before dawn the next day, the people sent by Hanzhou to cooperate with the police station here arrived.

After exchanging news on both sides, they made an appointment to meet in the mountains, and Shi Jin naturally wanted to go over.

And Shi Jin didn't want to take Chu Ning over, but Chu Ning insisted on going. Shi Jin was afraid that if she didn't take her, she would secretly follow, so she had to agree.
