The Sacred Ding Chapter 2: Longding
The middle-aged people spoke very little, so they turned around and walked to the hall, and everyone else followed.
Opening the door, on the table of the Eight Immortals near the wall in the center of the hall, there is a bottle of four-legged black square tripod, about one foot high.
A square tripod of this size, among the bronze wares that have been unearthed in China, if it is a pocket size, you can see that there is a slender, lifelike blue dragon on the tripod. The four claws are the four legs of the tripod. The dragon head and the dragon The tail is raised high, as the two tripod ears of the Fang Ding can be held.
The light in the room was very dim, and there was no light source hitting the table of the Eight Immortals. Standing at the door, Chen Hai was surprisingly able to see the details on the black square tripod.
Not only the blue dragon carved on the body of the tripod can be seen clearly, but also the cyan scales on the tripod body are clearly visible by Chen Hai.
There is no trace of rust on the body of the tripod. The blue dragon has blue scales and red head, and the color is still very bright. It is definitely not like it has just been excavated from the ancient tomb, but it reveals a simple and awkward atmosphere.
More strangely, the blue dragon carved on the tripod body is like a living creature, and Chen Hai has an inexplicable sense of mental oppression of being stared at.
"It's not like paint..." Someone walked up to the table of the Eight Immortals, staring at Xiao Fangding and asked in confusion, but there was no doubt that there was a fake, and he carefully reached out and touched the ears of the dragon head and took a breath. , Surprised, "It's hot..."
The underground is covered in dust for thousands of years. What paint can be exposed to light and not weathered, and it can remain as bright as new?
The other party really wants to set up the old situation, and will put a lot of effort into it, and will not show these laughable and generous feet.
Seeing that the middle-aged man didn’t mean to stop, Chen Hai also reached out to touch the body of the tripod. The body part of the tripod was as cold as ice, while the ferocious blue dragon engraved around the tripod body looked like a burning carbon fire. , Chen Hai was so hot that he would yell, but his hand was pulled back abruptly, but he didn't feel burnt at all.
What a hell.
Chen Hai took a closer look at the inscription of the blue dragon and the red head. The color is very bright, but it is not painted with lacquer, it is more like directly cast and carved with some radioactive non-ferrous metal.
Thinking of this, Chen Hai was startled, and subconsciously hid back: Radioactive metal is not a fun thing!
"We have tested with metal flaw detection equipment on our site, and there is no radioactivity..."
Chen Hai's subconscious movements attracted the attention of middle-aged people, and he was obviously aware of Chen Hai's carefulness. Probably it was the sympathy of fellow fellows. He had always been reticent, so he came over to explain to Chen Hailue at this time.
Seeing other people's confusion, Chen Hai smiled awkwardly, knowing that no one else had thought of going up here, and then seriously looked at Hei Ding. He couldn't see what metal was wrapped around the cauldron to cast the dragon, but it was integrated with the cauldron, and there were no traces of splicing. Apart from the others, the level of craftsmanship at this level was breathtaking.
Chen Hai walked around the front of the black tripod, and he felt like being stared at by the dark dragon's eyes again. It was very uncomfortable, as if this ferocious dark dragon was a living thing. It was a **** of a ghost.
Although Chen Hai doesn’t know if other people are the same as him, they have the strange feeling of being stared at by the blue dragon, but looking at the way other people are focused, one thing is certain that others have dispelled their doubts at this time and no longer think this Ding is a fake that the other party set up the bureau.
Otherwise, everyone would have walked out long ago when they saw the newly unearthed small tripod, which was as bright as new without any trace of rust.
The dozens of people present, although no one has studied archeology as seriously as Chen Hai, they are half experts in this circle. Even if the opponent wants to set up a game, they should be making the old. After working hard, Chen Hai was more inclined to believe that this small tripod was just like this when it was unearthed.
What kind of bronze is it, after thousands of years in the ground, there is no rust?
"Can you tell what period this tripod is?" Fatty Gu asked Chen Hai under his throat.
Fatty Gu, who has always been cautious about slipping away, did not suspect that the tripod was fraudulent.
Chen Hai shook his head, unable to say anything.
Chen Hai studied history as an undergraduate, and was admitted to Northeastern University as a major in archaeology. He mainly studies bronzes from the pre-Qin period and is very familiar with inscriptions from the Shang and Zhou periods.
In fact, there were obvious differences in bronze inscriptions and styles in the different periods of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Later generations mainly used these differences in style to infer the age of the bronzes.
Chen Hai can be said to be an expert in this area. Otherwise, with his net worth by an order of magnitude worse than Gu Fatty, it would be impossible for Gu Fatty to pull over to participate in this secret transaction.
As for this black square tripod, whether the dragon head and dragon tail have tripod ears, the dragon claws are four-legged shape, or the inscription ancient seal, Chen Hai is very strange. In his impression, the current domestic Among the unearthed bronzes from Shang and Zhou Dynasties, none are similar.
He didn't even recognize the thousands of ancient seals with inscriptions around the tripod body, and each of the tiny inscriptions with ancient seals was so vivid and vivid, and seemed to contain strange power.
The middle-aged man took out another jade ring. It was said to be a ring. It was mainly shaped like a jade bracelet, but in terms of size, it was more like a jade bracelet. Whose fingers are as thick as a wrist.
Compared with the black cauldron, the gray and incomplete jade ring appears ordinary, but it is more like an old man who has been in the dust for thousands of years.
"The tomb is buried and cannot be seen, but you should have taken more live photos?" Su Qian asked.
Everyone has seen some photos before, but only one is a live photo. The angle of the shooting is not good. You can't see anything from the collapsed mud pit on the live photo.
At this time, Su Qian wanted to see more live photos. Others also had these meanings, staring at the middle-aged person.
"This has..."
The middle-aged man took out a domestic mobile phone and pulled out more than a dozen live photos, almost able to piece together a panoramic view of the scene, for everyone to look through it in turn.
Chen Hai stood beside Su Qian and saw her inadvertently withdraw after picking up the phone. It seemed that the time and location of these live photos were determined from other photos, but Chen Hai was quickly attracted by the photos on the phone.
It is definitely not an ordinary noble tomb in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The scene in the photo is more like a giant hall, or a corner of a giant hall, with only two right-angled black remnant walls buried deep in the ground of a certain mountain range. .
The two remaining walls seem to have been cut by some sharp weapon, and the metallic luster is reflected under the exposure lamp of the mobile phone. The whole remaining wall is actually made of some kind of black metal, which is inferred from the excavator in the photo. , Each remnant wall is at least 17-8 meters high.
From the remains of the giant relief attached to the wall, it can be inferred that these two walls are only a small part of the entire giant hall. It is hard to imagine how majestic a complete giant hall will be.
The remnant wall looks plain and unremarkable, and it’s hard to get a glimpse of its appearance from a small corner relief, but the cut is extremely smooth, and there are also extremely strange, but it seems to have a certain regular and regular pattern, like countless connections. Ancient seal script.
How can the cuts of the integrally smelted metal block have the regular, like ancient seal lines?
If these two remnant walls have been buried under the ground for thousands of years, what is it in the Shang and Zhou dynasties or the ages older than those in the Shang and Zhou dynasties? It can cut a metal remnant wall tens of meters long so neatly. ?
Even in modern times, the earth has no ability to cast such a large metal component as a whole!
Once this place is released to the world, it is destined to be an archaeological discovery that shocked the world, but as an antique, Chen Hai would not care about it.
Chen Hai believes that other people have questions of this and that. Next, the middle-aged people asked everyone to hand over their phones. No one refused. They all followed the middle-aged people through the back door of the yard through a narrower alley. A bus stopped at the entrance of the alley, waiting for everyone.
The middle-aged man arranged for everyone to sit in the back half of the bus, and the windows of the second half were covered with a light-shielding film to block everyone’s vision and could not see where the bus would go.
It can be seen that the other party has also considered this transaction quite carefully, more like a professional tomb gang, rather than the construction team that accidentally found Shang and Zhou tombs on the construction site.
Of course, everyone only cares about whether the other party has the genuine product, and doesn't care whether the other party is a tomb gang or a construction team.
Black Canding was also moved to the bus. Heiding looked only a foot tall and short, and the wall was not thick, but heaviness was unexpectedly heavy. The middle-aged man and his three muscular young companions put down the black ding. , Already sweating profusely.
Chen Hai sat in the middle seat of the back row, facing the black tripod in the aisle~IndoMTL.com~ The ferocious dragon head tripod ears were also facing him, he couldn't get rid of being cast by the carved dragon staring at him. The strange feeling of seeing, as if the blue dragon carved by the black tripod had a soul.
The bus went out of the city, and the road was a little bumpy. With a sudden stop, Chen Hai, who was staring at the black tripod, was thrown out of the seat unexpectedly and hit the black tripod.
It wasn't very painful. Chen Hai got up embarrassedly while caressing Heiding. Through the front window of the car, he saw a young man in front of him, scared and stupid. He was almost hit by a bus, and the driver yelled.
Su Qian handed over the paper towel, and Chen Hai realized that there was a heat flow from the nasal cavity, and a pool of nosebleeds had dripped into the black pot.
The attention of other people was attracted by the car accident that almost happened. Chen Hai took the tissue and covered his nose, looked inside the black cauldron, and wanted to wipe off the nosebleed with another tissue.
At this time, a strange scene appeared. The pool of nosebleeds he dripped into the black cauldron was slowly penetrating into the cauldron wall, and a faint light from the cauldron spread out, intertwining a square inch in the center of the black cauldron. The three-dimensional picture is like a scroll of mountains and rivers, mountains, rivers, and seas of clouds. The carved dragon seems to have come to life, condensing into a phantom that flies hideously in the sea of clouds...
Chen Hai was taken aback, thinking that he was dazzled, rubbing his eyes and looking again, there was nothing in the black cauldron, and even the nosebleeds he dripped were completely gone.
Seeing a ghost, this black ding can **** blood, and Chen Hai’s hairs are standing up!
Chen Hai spread out the tissue he was covering his nose, and it was already blushed by nosebleeds. I was sure that it was not all hallucinations just now, but what the **** is that picture scroll of micro-mans intertwined and cohesive in the black tripod?
Su Qian looked at her head in confusion, but she saw that there was nothing in Heiding. She glanced at Chen Hai in confusion, wondering why he looked at a ghost.
At this time, the others noticed that Chen Hai knocked his broken nose and laughed when he saw him fall embarrassed.
