Chapter 54: The Secret Treasure of the Bronze Ding
Wang blacksmith was carried by a few subordinates and was taken to sleep in another room, San'er and Zhang Renshan stood in the main hall and looked at the copper tripod in a daze, after a long time Zhang Renshan said: "San'er, what do you mean when you say that Uncle Wang said that this copper tripod is not something from the previous dynasty but something from the past?" Could it be that this bronze tripod is still an ancient treasure? ”
"Ancient Treasures!? I can't see it, according to me, this copper tripod should be relatively old, but it definitely has not reached the level of antiquity, according to Uncle Wang's description, I guess this copper tripod may be the Spring and Autumn Period or the Qin Dynasty! But it's more powerful to keep it until now! San'er looked at the copper tripod and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Spring and autumn? Qin Dynasty? But San'er, how to explain the broken horned unicorn at the bottom of the copper tripod? Could it be that there has been a broken horn unicorn since a long time ago? Zhang Renshan turned over the copper tripod in his hand, looked at the broken horn unicorn pattern at the bottom and said.
San'er took a closer look at the broken horn unicorn diagram at the bottom of the copper tripod, and found that there were some gaps between the pattern and the copper tripod, that is to say, this broken horn unicorn diagram may have been deliberately made on the top after the copper tripod was discovered, but why did it do this, San'er can't guess now.
Zhang Renshan saw that San'er had not spoken and said the question just now again to attract San'er's attention, San'er had to tell Zhang Renshan what he thought just now, Zhang Renshan listened to San'er and quickly looked at the place where the broken horn unicorn was engraved at the bottom of the copper tripod, and it was indeed as San'er said that there were some gaps between the pattern and the copper tripod, Zhang Renshan buckled the pattern of the broken horn unicorn at the bottom of the copper tripod with his hand and tried to see if he could take down the broken horn unicorn pattern, but no matter how Zhang Renshan made the pattern, it was not moving at all, Obviously, it is not possible to use ordinary methods, San'er watched Zhang Renshan there in vain and had to speak: "Okay, don't be experimenting, we definitely can't take that thing, besides, what do you want to do with that pattern?" That thing isn't of much use to us! ”
"Oops! San'er, that's not what you said! The pattern of this broken horn unicorn was added to this copper tripod later, then I want to take this pattern to see the original appearance of this copper tripod, the most important thing is San'er, don't you think this pattern is likely to be the key to opening the secret of the copper tripod! Zhang Renshan was still working the pattern at the bottom of the copper tripod.
San'er shook his head after listening to Zhang Renshan's words, and then said: "Xian'er, if you think so, then you are wrong, I guess the reason why this pattern was added later, is to be able to better distinguish this tripod when you get it again!" This pattern shouldn't have much to do with the mechanism in Dingzhong! ”
"So what do you think we should do now? Is this copper tripod open or continue to be placed here? Zhang Renshan said impatiently, Zhang Renshan is now like a gluttonous insect in his heart, looking at a big meal in front of him, he can't eat it, and his heart is itching.
San'er heard Zhang Renshan's question and had to reply: "Xian'er, I think we still have to wait for Uncle Wang to wake up, and we'd better not touch the copper tripod now!" ”
"The left one can't be opened, the right one can't be opened, so when will we know the truth of this matter, I think it's like this, let's don't open this copper tripod, just smash it and then burn it, then don't think about what kind of person with broken horns, anyway, we just don't know the secret, and they will lose something important! I think we're still more suitable! San'er, what do you think? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er and said.
"You! Don't be impulsive! I don't mean to say that you won't be allowed to open this copper tripod mechanism, but that we don't know anything about the structure of this copper tripod mechanism or whether it is safe or not, so in this case we must be careful, find a professional person for us to inspect and then tell us the situation, this is the foolproof insurance method! San'er explained.
"Professionals? Look at what the professionals you've hired are doing? Zhang Renshan teased after listening to San'er's words.
"Isn't there a time for accidents! How did I know that Uncle Wang's alcohol consumption was so bad, and he got drunk before he drank a few glasses! I wouldn't have prepared wine for him if I had known! San'er explained to Zhang Renshan embarrassedly.
Zhang Renshan didn't want to say anything when he heard San'er's explanation, but looked at the copper tripod and wanted to open it to take a look, San'er saw that Zhang Renshan didn't speak but kept looking at the copper tripod and knew that he still had the urge to open it immediately, so he had to look at Zhang Renshan on the side, in case he was impulsive, in case it caused uncontrollable consequences, it would be completely over.
After a while, Zhang Renshan stood up from the chair suddenly, San'er thought that Zhang Renshan couldn't bear it and was about to open the copper tripod, so he hurriedly said: "Xian'er, what are you going to do?" ”
"Let go!" Zhang Renshan walked out of the main hall as he spoke, San'er watched Zhang Renshan walk away, even if he was relieved, at least it was relatively safe for a while, so no one was worried about the copper tripod! San'er was about to move the copper tripod to a certain position, but a voice came over and said, "Hey! Don't move! That thing can't be tossed around like this! ”
As soon as San'er heard the person who spoke, he knew who it was, and hurriedly replied: "I said Uncle Wang, why are you so bad at drinking!" I got drunk after just a few drinks, and we waited so long that we didn't hear where this thing came from, and I was going to throw this thing away! ”
Blacksmith Wang smiled at first, and then said, "Isn't it that your family's wine is too good! Your Uncle Wang and I are used to drinking that ordinary wine, and I can't stand this good wine drinking, otherwise your Uncle Wang and I will drink well! Can't get drunk at all! ”
"Uncle Wang, just blow it with me! Anyway, I don't believe you can drink it! This time, I'm a teacher! San'er looked at the blacksmith Wang and said.
Blacksmith Wang had to smile awkwardly and didn't say anything else, first found a place in the main hall and sat down, San'er saw that Blacksmith Wang was seated, so he said: "Okay, Uncle Wang, let's not talk about anything else, do you see anything about this thing!" Is it good or bad? Don't frame me! I told the young master that you can see the origin of this copper tripod! ”
When the blacksmith heard San'er's question, he first smiled and then said: "Little Sanzi, don't worry, your uncle Wang doesn't dare to guarantee that the reputation of this gold, silver, copper and iron is still there, you want to ask the origin of this copper tripod, there is really one!" ”
As soon as San'er heard what the blacksmith Wang said, he immediately came to his heart and said, "It seems that there is a door for this matter!" Thinking of this, San'er hurriedly said: "That Uncle Wang, then tell me what is the origin of this copper tripod?" ”
"I can't say where this copper tripod came from, if I'm not mistaken! It should be an antiquity of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the carvings on this copper tripod are all kinds of that dynasty, I just found the oldest one among them, that is, the Qin Dynasty, as for whether this thing is still before the Qin Dynasty, it's hard to say! The blacksmith pointed to a carving on the bronze tripod and said.
San'er looked at the place where the blacksmith Wang pointed out, and he really couldn't see what was carved there, it was a strange pattern in a clump of clouds, and the blacksmith Wang told San'er about the characteristics of this pattern while pointing to other patterns on the copper tripod to compare it with the pattern of the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Blacksmith and San'er were talking, but Zhang Renshan came back from outside, it seemed that he had finished his work easily, and saw that Wang Blacksmith and San'er were staying in the main hall and were studying the copper tripod, so they hurriedly leaned over and said, "Hey! How's the research going? ”
Blacksmith Wang was talking to San'er, and was startled by this sudden voice, San'er was the same, but when he turned around, it was Zhang Renshan, and it was not easy to say anything, so he said: "Xian'er, are you done?" ”
Zhang Renshan nodded when he saw San'er asking himself, and then said, "Ah! That's it! That's right! I just asked you how your research was, and no one answered? ”
"Young master, you are so shocked, I really can't stand it!" Blacksmith Wang looked at Zhang Renshan and said with a frown.
"Oops! That's it! You're going to get old! And it's not that I'm surprised that you studied too carefully to notice me, otherwise I could have scared you! By the way, what is the research of the mechanism in this copper tripod! I've asked this almost three times, and none of you will answer me! Zhang Renshan said.
When San'er heard Zhang Renshan's words, he said, "It's broken! Something happened! I haven't asked about it yet! He said it first, come on! It's hard to do now! San'er thought of this, and hurriedly pulled the corner of Zhang Renshan's clothes to signal him not to speak, but Zhang Renshan didn't understand San'er's intentions and thought that San'er was telling him that the matter had not been resolved, so Zhang Renshan said again: "I haven't studied it thoroughly, it's okay!" Let's take our time! You have to mention me and San'er to untie the mechanism in this copper tripod, and the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you at that time! ”
When Blacksmith Wang heard Zhang Renshan's words, he was in a fog and had to speak: "No...... What organs? What are the benefits? Young master, are you alright? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? ”
Seeing the current situation, San'er had no choice but to speak: "Oops! Never mind! It's such an Uncle Wang, he's like this, in this copper tripod! Xian'er and I saw something similar to a mechanism, and we happened to have such a key to open this mechanism, but we were afraid that if this mechanism was a self-destruct device, it would be troublesome, so I invited you here to ask you to help us see if this mechanism is good or bad, and by the way, I just want you to help us see where this copper tripod came from! ”
After listening to San'er's explanation, Blacksmith Wang nodded, and then said, "Oh! I see! I said, how can you, the little third son, be idle to get some antiques to see, it turns out that you are still tired of this antique! Since you've been tricked, let's do it to the end! But first of all, this salary will be long! ”
San'er saw that the blacksmith Wang did not leave angrily, but promised them to continue to study the copper tripod, and was very happy in his heart, so he said: "Don't worry, this salary is indispensable to you, you can do it with peace of mind!" ”
Zhang Renshan watched the two chatting on the side and realized that the blacksmith Wang didn't know the secret in the copper tripod, and he said that he had leaked his mouth to let this matter be exposed, so he also said: "Don't worry!" This wage housekeeper can't afford it, and my young master has to give it to you, so you can quickly crack that mechanism! ”
Seeing that both of them were urging him to look at the mechanism, the blacksmith Wang stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly found the groove on the inner wall of the copper tripod according to the guidance of the two, and then the sunlight outside looked into the tripod and observed it carefully.
San'er calmed down when he saw that the blacksmith Wang was busy, and then turned around and came to Zhang Renshan's side and said, "You! This is something that I could have done in a matter of course, but you just want to do it like this, just because you can't keep the door open! We're going to have to pay more now! ”
Zhang Renshan heard that San'er was complaining about himself and hurriedly said: "Then you can't blame me for this matter, if you don't procrastinate, I can leak my mouth first!" You have to blame you for not doing things quickly, or else it wouldn't be like this, oops! Add money, add money! Anyway, you don't lack this money, don't you! ”
"Okay, you Zhang Renshan, everything is wrong with me, okay! Then let's understand, your pocket money is all on me, so I will use your money to offset this salary! San'er said unceremoniously.
"Don't, don't, don't! I was wrong! It's all my fault! Look at my mouth! San'er, you're... Only... Don't be mad at me! Zhang Renshan said softly.
"You! I'm really out of luck with you! That's it! I won't be hard for you! I won't give you your pocket money, but I can't do it! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
As soon as Zhang Renshan heard that San'er didn't move his money, he immediately changed his tone and said, "Oh! That's it! ”
Blacksmith Wang didn't care about the noise between the two people, but carefully looked at the position of the groove, groped around in the copper tripod with his hand, and after a while, said to Zhang Renshan and San'er: "Okay! ”
San'er and Zhang Renshan were still arguing, when they suddenly heard Blacksmith Wang say, "Okay!" Immediately quieted down, and San'er asked first, "What is Uncle Wang?" ”
"Oh! I said this thing works! I've figured out the mechanism in there! The blacksmith put down the bronze tripod and made it to the chair and said.
Zhang Renshan was also very excited when he heard that Blacksmith Wang had figured out the mechanism, and said, "Is that mechanism good or bad?" Can we open it? ”
Hearing Zhang Renshan's question, Blacksmith Wang took a sip of tea and said, "This young master, please rest assured, that organ!" It's not self-destructive, it's just an active mechanism that can be opened with the right key! Speaking of this active mechanism! Let's ......" Wang blacksmith's words were not finished by San'er from the main hall and asked him to go to the tent to get the silver taels, and then he could leave, Wang blacksmith heard what San'er said and didn't say anything else to do it himself, San'er saw that Wang blacksmith was gone and hurriedly followed Zhang Renshan to the side of the copper tripod, Zhang Renshan reached out and took out the bronze mirror from his arms, opened the cloth wrapped on it, and raised his hand to install the copper mirror on the concave of the copper tripod, and heard a crisp sound of "click", I saw that the copper tripod was split in half almost instantly......
