Since there is a clear record about the red gold dragon in the cultural management archives, it means that it is a state-owned cultural relic. There are a group of twelve small golden dragons, but now I have six in my hand. What is going on?

Li Mo opened another piece of information, and the answer was given here. It turned out that there had been a theft in the Shaanxi Museum, and six red gold dragons were lost. At the same time, there were five plain gold hairpins, a Jinchuan, and a gilt patterned octagonal cup.

His whereabouts are unknown, and so far there is no clue, making it an unsolved case.

"Uncle Junior, what are you looking at? You look so serious?"

Li Mo put down his phone, asked the clerk to bring a clean empty bowl, poured half a bowl of vinegar into it, and put six small golden dragons in it to soak for a while.

About ten minutes later, Li Mo took out the little golden dragon and wiped it carefully with tissue paper. All the patina on the surface was wiped clean, and the little dragon truly revealed its original shining golden color.

"Yanzi, after dinner we go to the stall where we bought the little golden dragons. These six little golden dragons have some special origins. I need to find some more clues."

Chen Xiaoyan's eyes lit up and she whispered: "It's like the kind of job where an agent stalks bad guys?"

"You think too much, eat more meat."

After lunch, Li Mo and Chen Xiaoyan wandered around the old street again. The female boss was not there, and the person guarding the stall was her daughter. However, she was not very interested in the stall and was still playing with her mobile phone.

"The female boss is not here."

Li Mo murmured, looking at her daughter's completely indifferent appearance, she probably wouldn't be able to find out any useful information.

"Uncle Junior, please wait here for a while. I'll go over and ask."

Chen Xiaoyan walked over and chatted with the boss' daughter for a few words. Then the other party impatiently took out the banknotes and wrote something on them.

After a while, Chen Xiaoyan returned to Li Mo, handed him the note and said, "Address and phone number?"

"How did you trick it out?"

"It's so simple. I just said that I plan to buy dozens of bracelets to give to my classmates after the year. If their family can do it, please give me a contact information. I will contact you after the year to confirm the quantity to buy."

Ghostly cleverness probably describes someone like her.

Now that I have the phone number of the floor tile, let me go back and ask someone to investigate secretly.

"We'll go shopping for another hour and then go back."

"Okay, little uncle, let's go to the riverside corridor for a stroll. There are usually street stalls there, and there are many strange gadgets. Maybe we can come across some antiques."

"It's up to you, let's go."

The two of them walked casually and drove back to Chenjiacun around two o'clock in the afternoon. When passing by the avenue not far from the entrance of the village, they saw many workers building sheds. A grand temple fair will be held on the folk street during the first lunar month. Preparatory work was done

It's almost ready.

The noon banquet had ended long ago, and many guests from far away had already left. After Li Mo got out of the car, the villagers passing by the car greeted him one after another.

"Little uncle."

"Little uncle."

Li Mo also smiled and said, "Go there early for dinner in the evening."

When we arrived at the old house of the Chen family, it was full of people, chatting lively and drinking tea.

"Xiao Mo, you disappeared so early in the morning. Where have you been playing?" Shiyi said a little reproachfully. His current status is not simple. Many official people came to attend the banquet today. The most important thing is to see him.

one side.

As a result, this kid slipped away really fast.

"I'm not good at socializing, and I didn't want to be so annoying, so I hid in the county town with Yanzi. We walked there for more than half a day." Li Mo sat on the chair next to Li Zhongsheng and poured himself a cup of hot tea, "

Can you help me tonight?

As for me, with my drinking capacity, I will get drunk after one drink, and I will be drunk after two drinks. I will definitely not be able to get up early tomorrow after three drinks. This is also the main reason why I don’t want to participate in the banquet. If someone toasts you with a drink, it’s not good if you don’t drink. Others toast you.

It’s even worse if you don’t retaliate.”

"Hahaha, don't worry about this. I will arrange for a few heavy drinkers to sit next to you and they will stop you from drinking." The uncle laughed. His daughter is now the president of the company. Not only will this year she

Being married and pregnant took over his biggest concern.

"Master, Master, I have something to do and I have to go back to the house. You can continue chatting."

After Li Mo left, Chen Feng asked Chen Xiaoyan: "What matters does your junior uncle need to deal with urgently?"

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, my uncle found six thumb-sized golden dragons in the old streets of the county today. He said they are treasures left by the Tang Dynasty and have a history of more than a thousand years. But the specifics are

He hasn't figured out what it's for yet, it's probably to study those little golden dragons."

"The little golden dragon from the Tang Dynasty?"

Chen Feng now knows a little bit about antiques, and his junior brother is eager to find out the origin of the little golden dragon, which shows that the historical value of the little golden dragon is very high.

"Auntie, you can ask me in detail later."

The Chen family has become accustomed to Li Mo picking up treasures again. He came to Chenjiacun three times and gained a lot each time.

Li Mo returned to the house where he slept and logged into the special website again to view the contents.

In the Tang Dynasty, the golden dragon was regarded as an auspicious object, which could ward off disasters and avoid evil, and was also a symbol of imperial power. After the twelve red gold walking dragons were born that year, research by an expert group speculated that they might have been used in the dragon sacrificial ceremony.

of magic weapon.

The activity of throwing dragons to worship originated from the Taoist belief in the three senses of heaven, earth and water. In ancient times, emperors used to worship mountains and rivers in the form of 'sinking', with 'sinking' used for offering sacrifices to mountains and 'sinking' for offering water. In the early days, 'sinking' was used to worship mountains and rivers.

The sacrifices included gold, silver, bronze, etc. In the Tang Dynasty, a fixed etiquette for burying golden dragons and jade slips gradually formed.

The general method is to tie the jade slips with the wishes written on them together with the jade bis, golden dragons, golden buttons and other utensils together with green silk. After the ritual ceremony is held, they are then thrown into famous mountains and rivers as a letter of promotion and as a memorial to the Three Elements.

.

This is probably the meaning of the existence of the red gold walking dragon.

After reading all the information, Li Mo dialed Professor Zhu Changping's mobile phone.

"Xiao Mo, how is the situation? Can you be sure that the six little golden dragons in your hand are from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Teacher, based on my judgment, the six small golden dragons in my hand are indeed red gold walking dragons. I have also checked internal documents. Six of the twelve red gold walking dragons in the Shaanxi Museum were missing. There are also other Sui and Tang cultural relics.

Forty or fifty years later, it has become an unsolved case."

"Hey, too much time has passed, and many people and many things have been blurred. Xiao Mo, I still believe in your judgment, so what are you going to do next? After all, the loss of the red gold walking dragon has been on file.

Although it was discovered by you, it may still need to be returned to the Shaanxi Museum."

"I know this well, and it doesn't matter if I return it to them. However, it was lost once fifty years ago, and there is no guarantee that it will happen again in the future. If they are willing to bear this responsibility, I can return it to them without hesitation.

"

Li Mo currently has too many rare antiques in his hands. Although the six red gold dragons are rare, they are not so stunning that they can be seen at a glance.

"As long as you are prepared, you can take care of it yourself. If you need coordination from Beijing University, please contact me at any time."

"Thank you, teacher."
