This was just a thought that flashed through Qiu Peng at this moment, if the Lingyun Pavilion Master knew that Qiu Peng would think of so many things from what he had just said, and could see through so many of his scheming, he would definitely regret what he had done just now.

Walking around the entire hall, Editor-in-Chief Cai Ziheng seems to be the kind of person who is exquisite and good at plattering, and always expresses appropriate admiration and reverence for the comments of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, but it does not make people feel excessive, which makes the Lingyun Pavilion Lord feel complacent.

Basically, after reading the exhibits, the master of Lingyun Pavilion said: "Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng, you only have antiques and sculptures and famous paintings on display here, I heard that among your collections, the most prominent category is the collection of the Qin Dynasty's armor, but I haven't seen any here, what's going on?"

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng bowed down and said, "Pavilion Master, there is indeed such a thing. I am very interested in ancient bronzes, especially those of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty are two typical eras dominated by bronze and iron, and I have conducted a very systematic study on the evolution of weapons and armor in this era, but these collections are all placed in the storage room of one of my people in the back, if the pavilion master wants to see them, please allow me to move them outside another day for the pavilion master to see. ”

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng just said witty words, the flattering Lingyun Pavilion Lord was elated, satisfied, and also won the favor of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, the Lingyun Pavilion Lord felt very speculative, and he was in high spirits at the moment, so what could he wait until tomorrow?

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion shook his head and said, "Hey, why wait until another day?

Regarding the intimate gesture expressed by the Lingyun Pavilion Master, Editor-in-Chief Cai Ziheng naturally couldn't help but respond, and said, "In this case, Pavilion Master, please come with me." ”

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng led the Lingyun Pavilion Lord out of the hall, through a corridor, and came to a room, in front of the room was guarded by two white-clothed family members, and the editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng motioned for the two family members to open the big mén, and then the four people walked in.

As soon as they walked in, the four of them felt that their eyes were dark, this showroom looked about twice as big as the hall in front of them, but it was still three times larger than the ordinary room, but the light in the showroom was very dim, there was not a single candle or torch, only a night pearl with a miserable white and green light arranged every few meters in the hall.

A few people entered the showroom, and the editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng ordered the mén people to close the mén. The heavy wooden mén looked more than a foot thick.

Hearing the mén slamming behind him, the Lingyun Pavilion Lord frowned, and regretted it slightly, such a thick wooden mén, if it was locked inside, even if it was to use a siege chariot, it would take nòng for half a day, right?

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng saw that the Lord of Lingyun Pavilion was a little strange, and hurriedly explained: "Pavilion Master, the mén of this showroom is specially designed by me, and no light and moisture will leak in, and this room is also specially designed by me. Because there are a large number of ancient bronzes on display, it is necessary to isolate the flowing damp air as much as possible. And, in order to protect these bronzes, even candles and fluorescent lamps cannot be lit, but only these natural pearls of the night can be used for illumination,"

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion nodded with relief, and walked forward with Cai Ziheng, there were all kinds of ancient armor and weapons placed in this hall, from the earliest sharpened stone knives and stone swords, animal skin armor to the bronze weapons and armor of the Qin Dynasty, all kinds of strange-shaped weapons.

In the middle of the hall, there are four bronze statues, these four bronze statues look slightly higher than the real people, the others are the same as the real people, the four bronze statues, all holding a variety of weapons, swords, swords, halberds, making a wave and attack posture, the expression is vivid, the posture is true, lifelike.

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord's attention was immediately drawn to the bronze statues placed in the middle of the hall.

As he walked, he asked, "I have seen many famous collectors of bronzes, but I have not heard of your statement that you should not light candles and fluorescent lamps." Brother Cai Ziheng, can you explain a thing or two for me? ”

Cai Ziheng followed the Lingyun Pavilion Master and said, "Speaking of which, this is really a big regret at the moment. I think that the bronzes that have been lying dormant for hundreds or even thousands of years are just some patina on the surface, but once they are excavated and collected by these collectors, they will decay and erode in just a hundred years, and they will soon become unshaped. ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord nodded as he walked and said, "Editor-in-chief Ziheng really has unique insights. ”

Cai Ziheng heard the words of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, and continued as if encouraged: "I often hate myself for not being able to collect all the bronzes and put them here, and the bronzes that were bought by those vassals who were elegant, ignorant and rich, and didn't know how to take care of them, were quickly corroded and damaged. ”

As he spoke, the editor-in-chief pointed to the seven or eight servants in the hall, who were meticulously tending to a bronze vessel.

The editor-in-chief continued: "These bronzes are placed here, and in order to avoid corrosion, they are cared for every day, and they are carefully branded with sesame oil and other things. ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord looked up and saw that all the armor and weapons looked smooth and clean, flashing with a layer of luster in the dim light, and nodded and said, "I see. ”

While speaking, several people walked in front of the four bronze statues, and the Lingyun Pavilion Lord looked up at the four bronze statues and said: "I heard that the Great Qin Dynasty was very prosperous at that time, and every minister liked to use bronze statues to bury when he died, but there are very few bronze statues unearthed so far, and it is a wonder that this group of bronze statues can be preserved so intact like Cai Ziheng, and without the slightest damage. It's a rarity. ”

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng didn't feel a trace of pride on his face: "Pavilion Master, this group of bronze statues was bought by me with great difficulty, and it is the most proud collection in my life. ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord nodded, looked up at the proportions and images of the body, and said, "It seems that the level of sculpture in the Great Qin Dynasty is even more true than that in the Great Han Dynasty, which is very strange. ”

The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "Ah, this bronze statue, according to my research, is not made in the same way as traditional sculptures. ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord asked curiously.

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion then explained: "According to the records, when the Great Qin Dynasty made this kind of bronze statue, first killed a captive, made a special posture and stood there, and then glued the finished bronze armor to his body while it was not completely cooled, the helmet was all the way to the whole body armor, boots, and gloves. The main reason why he was able to make the armor as a real person was the one he saw was because there was a real person in it. ”

Qiu Peng felt sick to his stomach when he heard this, but the Lingyun Pavilion Lord and Beiye Feng did not change, and the Lingyun Pavilion Lord even nodded approvingly and said, "The people of the Great Qin Dynasty are really able to come up with endless ideas. ”

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng nodded and said, "Yes." Many art treasures from the era of the Great Qin Dynasty are still unavailable. Like this bronze statue, although I can name the general method of making it, there are still many technical problems that are not easy to solve. ”

Qiu Peng listened to the tone of the editor-in-chief, as if he had tried the same method, and there was a burst of doubt in his heart.

Editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng continued: "This bronze statue is enough, I also have a bronze sword from the era of the Great Qin Dynasty here, which is incomparably sharper, even three points sharper than the Xuantie Sword of later generations, I really don't know what method the Great Qin people used to make it." ”
