Chapter 382: Dedicated to Mazu
Seawater corrosion is very strong, but the corrosion process of bronze materials in seawater is more difficult than copper, tin, and lead.
This is due to the nature of its alloy, the most difficult to corrode is the lead in it, and the bronzes with high lead content are relatively well preserved even in seawater.
Most of the bronzes were unearthed in tombs, and very few bronzes were salvaged from the sea, but Ye Yaodong felt that these bronzes were stolen and transported by sea, but accidentally had an accident and fell into the water.
After all, during the war, many antique porcelain calligraphy and paintings in their country were stolen from abroad.
"This 'Ding' doesn't look unusual, right?" Father Ye took a flashlight to shine back and forth, turning in circles, but he didn't understand where the baby was?
"It's rare enough that something that is thousands of years old can still survive to this day, and it's still in the sea."
"That's just as well." When Father Ye heard this explanation, he also felt that it made sense, any machine on the seashore is easy to rust, not to mention that thousands of years of things are soaked in the sea, and it is okay to take them out.
"Hey~ Didn't you say there was still one in the sea? Do you still want to go into the water? Let's go into the water tomorrow, right? ”
"I don't care about him, but I saw a black box, so I'll go down and fish it up first."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding sea, fortunately, he just saw two boats with lights in the distance, and they didn't go to them, it was estimated that they were from other villages.
】
"It's dark, and I can't see it, tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid I'll be too late tomorrow, so let's go down here." As he spoke, he put on his diving gear again.
"How could it be too late?"
"The villagers know that I have fished a tripod back, and they must be able to guess the reason why we have been staying here at night, there are so many fishing boats in front of us to see us, I will come here again tomorrow, everyone is staring at it, and when the time comes, I can't hide what I fished."
"Okay, then you go down and come up directly if you can't see clearly."
In fact, Father Ye was a little unimpressed, he didn't have the concept of antiques, but he felt that it was not ordinary for the special thing of "Ding", and he didn't have any concept of other things.
However, Dongzi doesn't want people to know, and if he wants to go into the water now, then go into the water now.
Ye Yaodong had just written down the approximate location of the wooden box, which was not far from the bronze tripod and the bronze wine glass, and it should not be an ordinary thing.
He went into the water in the dark, thinking that there would be no light on the bottom of the sea, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of glowing algae on the bottom of the sea around him, and some jellyfish around him were shining.
The bottom of the sea at night also has a different scene, the bottom of the sea at night looks much more lively than during the day, and some sea creatures that cannot be seen during the day have emerged at night.
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the faint light emitted by the underwater creatures to determine the location, and also saw the black box, swam over and hugged it in his arms, he followed the old method, tied the rope, and the person went up to the floating boy to pull the goods first, and he didn't worry about other things.
Father Ye was relieved to see that he surfaced not long after he went down, after all, the night was more dangerous, and another boat was coming.
"It's pretty fast this time."
"Well, I'll come up when I find it."
After Ye Yaodong climbed onto the boat, he pulled the small box up.
Father Ye helped take over the black box, and sank it for a while, "This little box, is it still weird?" Still with a lock? ”
"I don't know what it is, it's still locked, put it in the bucket and get the cloth to cover it, and go back and open it again."
"There's a boat coming, I'll go and start the boat, you put it first."
Ye Yaodong took the black box again, and he didn't bother to take a few more looks, so he hurriedly put it in the bucket, covered it with rags, and the boat quickly drove to the shore of the village.
Don't look at it just along the coast, but it will take ten or twenty minutes to drive to the shore.
As soon as their boat docked, the ships behind them also docked, and under the light on the shore, the ships next to them also saw that there was a big tripod on their ship, and they were all surprised.
"Dongzi, where did you get Ding?"
Ye Yaodong turned his head to look and found that the boat that had just docked next to him was Ah Guang's, he had just bent down to pick up the goods, and he didn't pay attention to the boat next to him.
"Haidilao is around the coast, and I was shocked when I just caught it."
Father Pei said with a smile: "You can put it in the lobby of the Mazu Temple, just use it." ”
"Yes, you can put it in the Mazu Temple, it's not in vain." Ah Guang also laughed.
Ye Yaodong was also a little moved, in this era, the countryside doesn't understand the goods, they don't know the value, and it's good to honor Mazu.
People on the seaside believe in Mazu, but no one steals Mazu's things, in case someone from the government really finds them, it would be good to bring them to the Mazu Temple.
"It makes sense, I'll move directly to the Mazu Temple later, this height is also appropriate."
Save the family, he is not at ease, this tripod was originally a cooking utensil, and later evolved into a sacrificial use, all of which turned living things into dead things, a big murderer!
Moving home, he was still afraid that he would not be able to control his own home, and he would hang for a few days.
This thing is either in a museum or in a temple.
"What did you get today?"
"It's okay, it's good, help me lift it later, it's quite heavy."
"Okay, sell the goods on the ship first."
When they sold all the goods and returned to the ship, many people over there also saw the big ding on Ye Yaodong's ship, and everyone was talking there.
"Such a big ding, it was caught in the sea, right?"
"Where did Ye Laosan get a tripod back? Why do you bring back a big pimple at two ends in three days, either bring back the machine, or bring back a big ding. ”
"It doesn't look like gold, it doesn't look like silver, it's copper, right?"
"This is feudal dross......"
"Bump, that chaotic period has long passed, but what is such a big ding for?"
"It's useless, it looks very old, and it takes up space, and it's in the way wherever you go."
The villagers didn't realize that this was a national treasure, but they still looked at it and thought it was quite rare, and no one had ever caught such a big lump.
"Let's let ...... first"
"Hey~ Adong, did you just fish it nearby? Is there this thing on the bottom of the sea? ”
After being reminded, everyone came back to their senses, and they all remembered that just now his fishing boat had stayed in that sea area for a long time without moving, and said that the boat was fine, and he would come back after fishing a net.
"Oh, was it Haidilao there just now? I said, why did you stop there for so long and not come back? ”
Ye Yaodong and the others didn't have time to pay attention to the questions of the villagers, and several people worked together to lift the tripod to the board car, and put the board car horizontally, and Ye Father was still next to the big tripod, and the province fell.
Father Pei knocked on the big ding, "This tripod is not light, and there are hundreds of catties." ”
When they put the tripod on the cart, the villagers also gathered around, and they all felt a little strange to touch and knock.
"This tripod should be able to sell for some money, right?"
"It should be able to sell for dozens of dollars......"
"Tomorrow I'll just ask the rags and you'll know......"
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched when he heard this, this thing was sold to collect rags?
He didn't know whether to laugh, or laugh, or laugh.
"If you don't sell this big lump, what are you selling for dozens of dollars? I am going to put it in the Mazu Temple to honor our Mazu Niangniang and bless us with peace and security at sea. ”
"Hey, yes, yes...... It's just ...... to put it in the Mazu Temple."
"Yes, yes, it's good to burn it with incense......"
"It's still Adong's high consciousness......"
"Yes, put it in the Mazu Temple, with the blessing of Mazu, you will definitely be able to catch more goods safely."
"It's good to put it in the Mazu Temple, and sell it to the ...... that is ruined by the tatters."
"Let's help carry it together~"
"I'm here to help~"
"I'll come too~"
The villagers were enthusiastic, rolled up their sleeves and rushed to get on one by one, and the tripod that had been put on the board car was directly lifted by them.
"Let's go, Adong will go together."
Ye Yaodong was surrounded by the villagers and walked towards the Mazu Temple, he was still thinking about the black box in his bucket, so he could only look at his father and ask him to look at it and take it back first.
Father Ye understood it, although he also wanted to follow along, but Dongzi seemed to value it very much, so he had to hold back first.
"I'll get you back the fish first."
He can still be trusted.
As long as the villagers are involved in the Mazu Temple, they are extremely enthusiastic, this is faith.
The three villagers held one foot, holding the big ding, and went directly into the Mazu Temple, and the old man who saw the temple also quickly ran out, and after knowing the intention, he hurriedly asked everyone to carry it to the back door to clean it first.
The villagers didn't need his help, everyone spontaneously took the bucket to the well to fetch water, took the brush with the brush, washed the Dading cleanly in three or two clicks, and wiped the inside and out with a rag several times
"Alright, alright, clean, right? Where do you put it? ”
The old man who watched the temple pointed to the location of them, "Put it there first, you have to put it there for a period of time." ”
"Okay."
Anyway, they don't understand the twists and turns in the temple, what the old man says, they just listen to.
"Adong, you go and tell Mazu about offering him a tripod."
"Oh."
He was suddenly a little embarrassed, this dedication, what if it was known by some cultural center or museum, what should I do if I take it back?
Forget it, whatever, it's a follow-up matter anyway, it's not his problem, he's sincere.
In front of the statue of Mazu Buddha, after chanting and bowing again, he got up and went out with everyone.
On the way back, there was a lot of discussion in my ears about him getting a big tripod and dedicating it to Mazu, and they all praised him for his high consciousness, and he could sell it for dozens of yuan, but he actually gave it directly, no wonder he was lucky.
Ye Yaodong just wanted to laugh when he heard it.
