Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 15 Three Alien Dragons
Warm jade is a kind of warm and smooth jade.
Nephrite jade has a luster color and a warm texture like fat, which is really the best product in jade.
I don't really know much about jade, and if it weren't for it rolling on the counter, I would probably have dismissed it as a child's marble.
In my impression, jade is also divided into many kinds, imagine this kind of white and red, then I have also heard of it, it is said that it seems to be called blood jade, and the price is very expensive.
I'm a layman to Yu, so it's just a matter of watching the fun.
However, since it is placed together with the other two bronze objects, and the residual soil quality on it is also the same, it seems that this jade ball is also a pre-Qin thing, and it can't be wrong.
Moreover, at that time, it was strictly forbidden for commoners to possess jade privately, but anyone who had it was a relative of the emperor, or even a generation of monarchs, so I dare to conclude that this thing must be a good thing.
If there is a good thing, it will naturally be handed in, and I have never hidden it, so I carefully put it in my arms, and handed it over when Liu Baye came back.
Putting away the jade balls, I began to carefully clean up the two bronzes.
Speaking of the wine glass of the pre-Qin period and Fang Ding, different from the Later Dynasty, its wine glass is called Jue, with a pointed tail and three legs, and the mouthparts are tilted.
Jue is also an official power, as the name suggests, it also symbolizes status, and its users are not the Son of Heaven but also the princes.
Let's talk about the square tripod, the bronze square tripod was mostly made in the Xia Shang period and the pre-Qin period, which has the Qin Gong Ding and the big Keding as examples, which are often the important weapons of the country that represent the national fortune, such as the small one in front of me or the first time I saw it, it feels like the child born in the big ding.
If it weren't for the rust and exquisite workmanship, I would have thought it would be a modern, miniature replica.
And this Fang Ding is also different from those heavy weapons in the general form, its body is high, and the direction of the four corners actually has a bulge similar to the head of the beast, quite the shadow of the four sheep Fang Zun, the heavy treasure of my Chinese Kyushu country.
I basically don't have any other hobbies, antiques and games, of course, games are just a kind of entertainment, and more is not beneficial.
I also pitied that man before, and I didn't want to see his wife die like that, so I took out a huge sum of 30,000 yuan to accept this little thing.
Things to the generation, but also very old, but I am not too cold, I was going to come back a little to clean up a little bit, and then to the small shop, if the customer comes to see, the price is fair.
But now, let's not talk about the Wen Yu ball in my arms, just these two bronzes, after my careful study, they are more and more like and can't put down.
In the next few days, I couldn't stay at home, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the antique shop, and I completely cleaned out the two bronzes, which looked like a rough appearance.
Although there are still a lot of green spots and green rust attached to it, this is also the original and historical witness.
I found out that the protrusions of the four corners of the square tripod were beast heads first, and after taking me to clean them, three of them were indeed beast heads, and they actually looked like dragon heads.
The fourth bulge is a tail ring, which is connected to the other three beast bodies and claws of the body, just like the three different dragons in clothes.
Looking at the bronze jue again, the jue body also has the pattern of three different dragons.
In ancient times, the dragon was the emperor, and only the emperor of a great country was worthy of this dragon-shaped instrument.
Seeing these two bronzes with three different dragon patterns, thinking of the strong rustic atmosphere on them before, they must have been made from the tomb.
Could that man be a grave robber?
I guessed that although those who make a living in this business will have a more or less earthy smell on their bodies that is difficult to dissipate, but it was pouring rain at that time, and it had long covered up the smell of people, so I didn't notice it at all.
What's more, that man is the kind of honest and honest peasant who faces the loess with his back to the sky, and his wife is really seriously ill, so he shouldn't be a tomb robber.
I was looking at the two bronze utensils and pondering wildly, when the phone rang, and it was the driver Brother Wang calling.
The driver, Brother Wang, told me that Liu Baye had come back and was now home, and asked me to come over.
In the past few days, I have been patronizing and cleaning these two bronzes, and I forgot to open the live broadcast, let alone about Liu Baye.
As soon as I heard that Liu Baye was back and wanted to see me, I hurriedly agreed on the phone, put two bronzes into a bag, and hurriedly went out.
When I left the store, I realized that it was already late at night, and the street was so quiet that there was not half a figure in sight.
Locking the door, I rode my broadsword electric car in the direction of home.
I usually like to ride on an electric car for a leisurely stroll, especially enjoy riding a bicycle along the way to watch the scenery of the street.
And at that time, I didn't know what was wrong, maybe I was anxious to go home to see Liu Baye, anxious to show him the two bronzes in my hand, anxious to tell him about the mysterious person who left a message in the live broadcast room, and to tell him about my life experience.
So I stumbled into a shortcut that I knew but never walked on, an alley of houses. I rode a car humming a song, walking back and forth in the narrow alleys, although it was late at night, but the street lamps in the alleys were still complete, and the road in front of me was clear, but this time was less popular than it should be, and it looked bleak and lonely.
I didn't pay much attention to this, and continued on my bike.
Suddenly, less than a few meters from the T-shaped alley in front of me, I saw a figure flash in the alley on one side.
"Who's there?"
I yelled, but there was no response, so I shifted up the gear, intending to glance down the alley as I passed by, to see if it was a wild cat or a wild dog or something.
Just as I was riding close to the mouth of the alley, a shadow suddenly came out of the alley.
Before I could see if it was a wild cat or a wild dog, I shifted up the gear and the speeding electric car suddenly stopped.
The electric car suddenly stopped, and out of inertia, I flew out of front of me, and this flight was five or six meters away.
Fortunately, my skills are not bad, and I stood up again after rolling on the ground, although I was not injured at all, but this caution still inevitably made me a little pounding.
When I stood up and looked back, I found that my electric car was lying five meters away, with a steel pipe more than a meter long stuck in the front wheel.
Then five or six people came out of the side of the T-shaped alley one after another, and each of them had a steel pipe and wooden stick in his hand, and the leader of them was still holding a sharp knife in his hand.
Not only in front of me, but also behind me, I was also blocked by three or four guys with sticks.
"What do you want to do, do you want to rob the road?"
I frowned and shouted.
"Stinky boy, are you Liu Baye's godson, are you Niu B, the old man is afraid of him Liu Baye, Lao Tzu is not afraid, dare to let Lao Tzu not get off the stage in front of so many people, Lao Tzu has to kill you today!"
Hearing that person say this, I took a closer look, only to find that the person in front of me looked so familiar, and it was clearly the owner of the stall that swaggered with a fake blue and white vase that day.
I remember that when I left, I found out that this guy would not give up, but I didn't expect that only a few days had passed, and I couldn't help it.
"Hmph, it turned out to be you, and you are really a miscellaneous person who specializes in this kind of shady deeds!"
"The stinky boy who is paralyzed, dare to scold Lao Tzu for being crumbling, Lao Tzu must kill you today!"
The stall owner was so angry that he was thunderous, and a few dogs around him were also angry at each other, eager to try, and they looked at me as if they had seen an enemy.
"I have important things to do now, I don't have that idle time to talk nonsense with you, if you don't want to be crippled, you can get out of here, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
