Exploring the Secret: Dig the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 104 You Boy, You Can Always Bring Me Unexpected Surprises!

After opening the wooden box, there was another piece of bronze.

Professor Zhou stepped forward, the same as before.

As a result of occupation, cultural relic identification work is carried out.

Although Qin Chen was shocked, he had Dayu Jiuding just now as a foreshadowing.

He was not so surprised when this representative cultural relic of the Shang Dynasty came out!

"This thing is really strange. I have never seen such a strange bronze ware. This thing looks like a tripod but not a tripod. It should belong to the branch of Ding and should be respected! But what is it called!"

Qin Chen stepped forward: "Four Ram Fang Zun!"

"Good! Good name, what a perfect example of bronze ware!"

Wang Tairan also leaned forward: "Old Feng, can there be a theory for this cultural relic!"

"This item is enough to be listed as one of the top ten bronze ware handed down from the Xia Kingdom!"

The people at the scene also became excited, and they all came forward to watch.

"Qin Chen, the greatest contribution of your trip is not to bring back the dragon head! It is to bring back these two bronze treasures!"

Professor Zhou was in a great mood and said to everyone with great interest.

"If I remember correctly, the Siyang Square Zun we saw should be the largest bronze square Zun in the Shang Dynasty. And I just glanced at its craftsmanship just now, and I was impressed by the casting skills of our ancestors .”

Someone at the scene asked hurriedly: "What skills?"

"The Siyang square statue you have seen is simple in shape, beautiful and majestic, combining movement with stillness. It is the pinnacle of traditional clay model casting! Its craftsmanship is cast using two separate casting techniques. First, the horns and the faucet are cast separately. Then they were respectively placed in the outer mold, and then cast as a whole. The whole utensil was cast in a block mold method, and it was completed in one go.

"In addition, if you look carefully, there are fine thunder marks on all of them. This is to cover up the traces of conformity, and it can also improve the monotony of the corners of the utensils, enhance the momentum of the shape, and make it a seamless one."

Qin Chen also nodded, Professor Zhou's analysis is all correct!

A family with two schools and eight sects, the Zhou family can be unique, it is true that they have extraordinary skills!
Professor Zhou suddenly asked Qin Chen, "What do you think?"

Qin Chen walked forward and pretended to look at it for a while: "It is completed in one go and is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. As you said, it will definitely be one of the top ten bronze ware handed down from generation to generation in the Xia Kingdom!"

"Yes! Qin Chen, you have immeasurable merit."

"Open the third box!"

As soon as he opened it, Qin Chen couldn't help but took a deep breath, and muttered, "Mao Gong Ding!"

One of Dayu's Nine Dings, Siyang Fang Zun, and Mao Gong Ding!

These are the most outstanding bronze representative works of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties!
The rewards in this system are priceless!
The rewards of the subsequent missions are all priceless treasures, so the accompanying lottery must be a good thing too!
He called the system in his mind.

"System! I want to draw a lottery!"

"I don't care, I want to draw a lottery!"

"I want to draw a lottery!"

……

After a full minute, the system beeped.

[What's the noise, it's so annoying! 】

"I want to draw a lottery!"

【smoke! 】

When Qin Chen was thinking about how the system would let him draw a lottery, he only heard the system talking casually.

[Congratulations to the host for using the lottery opportunity to obtain the remaining Dayu Jiuding. 】

"Why haven't I smoked yet?"

[The system does not accept rebuttals, this system has the exclusive right to interpret everything! 】

"Bandits! Naked tyrants!"

[Please pay attention to check, the system has issued rewards! 】

Qin Chen watched the second cart carrying cultural relics coming from the gate of the Archaeological Institute!

He knew that the remaining eight Great Yu Jiudings must have been obtained by him overseas shopping.

"Ugh!"

In fact, he wanted to shout one more thing in his heart: Big Brother System!

But thinking of how unkind the system is to me, let it go!
Qin Chen is still planning to continue communicating with the system in his mind.

Professor Zhou patted Qin Chen's shoulder with trembling fingers: "Good apprentice! Good apprentice!"

"Do you know what this tripod is?"

"I thought it was fake before I bought it, but after looking at the craftsmanship and the inscription on it, I think this tripod should be Mao Gong's tripod!"

Professor Zhou couldn't bear the excitement in his heart anymore, and he couldn't stop crying.

The people at the scene were also puzzled!
Qin Chen noticed that Professor Zhou seemed to have the same feelings as this tripod!
After a long time, Professor Zhou regained his composure and said something to Qin Chen.

"If it weren't for you being my apprentice, I should bow down to you!"

"Professor Zhou, please don't say that!"

"This tripod is indeed called Maogong Ding, and the inscription on it has a total of 497 characters: Fu Xin, Pi Xian Wenwu... It is used as a respected tripod, and it is used by children and grandchildren as Yongbao."

Qin Chen and everyone present were amazed that Professor Zhou actually memorized the inscription on the Maogong tripod backwards.

"This 497-character inscription, I have known for a long time, this is a dusty historical past."

It turned out that this tripod was unearthed in Chencang City in 1843. It was dug out from the field by a farmer and bought by an antique dealer for 300 taels of silver.

Professor Zhou's grandfather was invited by a master of gold and stone in the early Republic of China to appraise the inscriptions on his tripod.

But at that time, in the early years of the Republic of China, the national power was meager and the country fell.

In the land of Xia Kingdom, the people are in dire straits. Eighteen members of that Jinshi master were wiped out overnight, and all the cultural relics in his family disappeared, including this Maogong tripod!

"My grandfather was heartbroken when he heard the news. He searched for several years, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of Maogong's tripod. His old man left a last wish. The descendants of my Zhou family will spare no effort to find the whereabouts of the tripod. Now that he has found it, he will surely die. I know!"

Professor Zhou dialed Qingfeng Li's number.

"Junior Brother! The Mao Gong Ding has been found!"

Qingfeng Li who was sitting on the sofa stood up instantly.

"Where, who found it?"

"Provincial Institute of Archeology, Qin Chen found it."

"Good! Good boy!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingfeng clenched his fists excitedly and walked around the living room.

"Xiao Ling, quickly drive me to the provincial archaeological research institute!"

Li Qingfeng has not been back to the capital since he came to Xijing a few months ago, occasionally playing chess and drinking with his old friends, and enjoying himself at leisure.

Sitting in the car, he still felt extremely excited!

"Good boy, don't tell me that you are chasing my granddaughter now, I have to help you chase her too!"

Finding Maogong Ding is not only the master's wish, but also his master's wish!

"You boy, you can always bring me unexpected surprises!"

Ten minutes later, Qingfeng Li got out of the car and ran towards the door.

"Brother, senior brother, where is Mao Gongding?"

"Master, Master!"

Professor Zhou heard Li Qingfeng's shout.

"It's here!"

Li Qingfeng walked around the corner and walked into the small courtyard of the Provincial Institute of Archeology.

He hurried forward and carefully touched the Maogong tripod.

About half a minute later, his fists were clenched and turned purple!

Few people know Li Qingfeng's background, but it is not ordinary people to hear Professor Zhou call him junior.
