Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight, one treasure after another

Everyone present immediately focused their attention on Li Mo. Being considered by him to be the most precious antique in this treasure cave was definitely a rarity.

"Hurry over."

Every time I go out with Li Mo, if I don't get a few amazing things back, it will be like a wasted trip.

"Assemble a live broadcast team." Li Mo ordered, and several people who had been waiting not far away rushed over with their machines. It would be more promising to follow Associate Professor Li.

Pushing open the door of the next room, dozens of wooden boxes were neatly placed together under the light, two of which had been damaged.

"When I came in for the first time, I took out one piece from each of the two wooden boxes for identification. Experts and professors, we are in for a treat today."

As the live broadcast camera advanced, Li Mo took out an ancient object wrapped in cotton cloth from one of the wooden boxes. Under the high-definition camera, he opened it layer by layer to reveal the treasures inside.

"An old cabbage?"

A staff member doing the live broadcast said in shock.

"Shut up."

The people next to him glared at him, "Are you stupid? Do you have the right to speak here? Can an old cabbage last for so long?"

Zhu Changping, Director Fu and Director Shi had already gathered around. It was a cabbage, yes, but it was not an ordinary cabbage, but a lifelike ivory cabbage that could be mistaken for the real thing.

This withering work is definitely at the master level.

"Xiao Mo, let me take a look."

Zhu Changping took over and began to appreciate it carefully. He couldn't help but admire that such an ivory work would become a treasure no matter which museum it was placed in.

"Associate Professor Li, can you identify its origin and age?"

Curator Fu also took it and looked at it carefully. He was amazed by the craftsmanship.

"Look at the root of the ivory cabbage. There is a small italic character for four there."

"Where is it? I can't find it." Director Fu rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, "I'm so old, my eyes are failing."

Li Mo quickly took out a magnifying glass from his bag and said with a smile: "Here, do you see it?"

"Mr. Taoyuan!" Director Fu read out, but he was obviously not familiar with this person. "Professor Zhu, have you heard of this person?"

Professor Zhu Changping muttered, frowning slightly and said: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I don't have a deep impression. Xiao Mo, if you know, just tell us directly, don't make us interested."

Li Mo smiled at this time and said: "The reason why the teacher seems to have heard of it is that he may have heard it from the Beituo master Mr. Chen Xinghai. Originally, I was not familiar with Mr. Taoyuan, but later I asked Mr. Chen

.What a coincidence

, Mr. Taoyuanxian, whose original name was Chen Zhiping, was a carving craftsman during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. He was first recruited to work for the imperial family, and later left the office due to physical reasons. Mr. Taoyuan was a nickname he gave himself when he was living among the people.

.”

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

"So the one in front of me is a clear ivory cabbage, which is the pinnacle work in the carving world. The camera gives it a few close-ups, so that people all over the world can appreciate the masterpiece left by our ancestors."

There was a stir again in the live broadcast room.

Shibin led a group of soldiers in. They brought a batch of specially customized safes that Li Mo had prepared in advance.

Li Mo carefully put the ivory cabbage into the safe, and then took out the copper-winged tiger from the second wooden box.

"Everyone is familiar with the gold, silver, and bronze winged tigers from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Li Mo showed the Bronze Winged Tiger under the camera.

"Antiques from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have been around for about 2,500 years."

"This is a treasure among national treasures, a priceless treasure."

"Awesome, so awesome, Associate Professor Li is so powerful!"

"The fairy eyes are worthy of their name. Anyway, I am convinced."

Professor Zhu and the others looked at them one by one, and then put them into the safe. They took out two items, each of which was a valuable treasure. Everyone present was full of expectations for the antiques that had not yet been born.

"Associate Professor Li, many netizens are asking, how could such a national treasure be hidden among the people?"

"At that time, there was a saying called 'hiding wealth among the people', which means that the real wealth was hidden among the people. Because of the civil war at that time and the corruption of the government, all kinds of treasures were lost to the people. In addition, there were tomb robbing and theft, so the gold hidden among the people

Antiques are also a very scary figure. You may have heard the story of the warlord thief Sun Dianying. He robbed the tomb of the Qing Dynasty emperor, and countless rare treasures were found inside."

After Li Mo said this, he took out an ancient object from the wooden box, peeled off the layers of cotton wrapping outside, and revealed a piece of porcelain.

"Hey, the shape of this porcelain is relatively rare. I have never seen this kind of shape before." Professor Zhu Changping was a little surprised when he saw this porcelain at first sight. Not only had he never seen this porcelain before, but even Director Fu and Director Shi were also surprised.

I have never seen porcelain with such a shape.

Li Mo looked at the porcelain in his hand and said: "I have seen this kind of record in an ancient book, but there is no such real sample in China or even in major museums abroad. I thought it had been

Extinct, I didn’t expect that a piece of porcelain would be found here. This piece of porcelain is called a leather bag jar.”

"Skin jar?" Professor Zhu and others looked at each other and had no impression of this.

"Associate Professor Li, please tell us about the history of skin jars." The anchor was really knowledgeable. Seeing the confused looks on the faces of several veteran experts, he knew that the porcelain in front of him had a distinguished origin.

"During the Liao Dynasty, there was a kind of utensil called skin baggage among the daily necessities of the nomadic people in the north, which was rare in the south. However, this skin baggage was practical enough, and the royal family also liked it very much, so it was used in porcelain.

During the firing, the shape of the skin jar appears."

Li Mo looked at the bottom of the porcelain and said to the camera: "This is an authentic sky-blue glazed skin jar from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is probably the only one in the world."

"It turns out to be official kiln porcelain made during the Yongzheng period. No wonder it is so exquisite."

"The only piece of porcelain in the world must be of extraordinary value."

"Associate Professor Li is mighty."

Comments flashed on the screen in the live broadcast room, and then various rewards appeared one after another, making it dazzling.

"This sky-blue glazed skin jar is made of porcelain to imitate the shape of a skin jar. The craftsman cleverly used some small details to reduce the height of the entire skin jar. This idea was probably very popular during the Yongzheng period.

Be novel."

"This leather jar is coated with a smooth sky blue glaze both inside and outside, and it looks very gorgeous. Especially the opening of the entire leather jar is very beautifully made, and the entire top cover is also equipped with a kind of copper gilt engraving.

Flower pattern with entwining branches. The small leather jar is equipped with this kind of hollow lid, and the entire lid fits tightly with the mouth of the jar, which not only increases the aesthetic effect, but also plays a sealing role."

"Especially on the carvings, the cover is embedded and engraved with a knot pattern. Just looking at the cover surface, it is already gilded and brilliant, giving it a majestic atmosphere."

Li Mo carefully protected and put away this sky-blue glazed leather jar from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. This thing is so precious, the only one of its kind in the world.

"Associate Professor Li, no wonder you said that the most precious antiques in the entire treasure cave are stored here, and each one is rarer than the last."

"There are forty or fifty wooden boxes here. I'm afraid there are one to two hundred pieces of good stuff, or even more."

"The inventory here alone can open a museum, and every piece is a masterpiece."

The first item is clear ivory cabbage.

The second piece is a gold-silver-bronze winged tiger from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The third piece is a sky-blue glazed leather bag jar from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Just the appearance of these three items makes this trip to the treasure hunt worthwhile.

"Associate Professor Li, let's continue."

Others can't wait to see what fine antiques there are in the back.

Li Mo rummaged through the first wooden box. This fourth antique was a bit heavy. Judging from the shape, it was a bit arched and tile-like. After peeling back the layers of cotton, the true appearance of the antique inside was revealed.

"This is a golden book and an iron scroll, a gold medal to avoid death."

Li Mo's eyes lit up, and when the strange boy glanced away, he saw a pale red halo coming from the death-free gold medal.

"The gold medal for immunity from death in the late Tang Dynasty."
