There is no mark on this bronze tripod, and it is corroded by a layer of rust, making it difficult to see the patterns and words on it.
Long Wei also came over, studied the big cauldron in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is... This bronze cauldron only says "bronze cauldron" without any remarks. It seems that this big cauldron is...
His identity is not simple, and I don’t know what era he is from."
"Perhaps it's just because it's so old that I can't see the words clearly. I hope some scholars can study the origin of this cauldron in the future."
"It's strange. Logically speaking, museums should cherish this kind of bronzes very much. Even if there is rust, they will remove the rust. Why is it still blurry?"
Long Wei looked carefully at the marks on the cauldron through the anti-theft glass.
"Well, maybe it's because this kind of rust is difficult to remove, but I seem to have seen the writing on it."
Although the cauldron was covered with rust, Ye Xuan could vaguely see a few graphic characters.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
Ye Xuan took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then immediately wanted to call Li Yuan.
Li Yuan is a scholar who studies ancient literature and is currently helping him translate Taiyi Xuanshu.
The words on the Taiyi Xuan Shu are very similar to the words on the Great Cauldron.
In addition, there was information about Jiuding recorded in the book, so Ye Xuan thought of asking Li Yuan.
Li Yuan first saw the picture, and then said excitedly: "Not bad! This is the same as the text I studied!"
"Oh my God, you are my lucky star. In order to study the characters of the ancient times, I searched for many documents but found little. Unexpectedly, after meeting Mr. Ye, I not only got an ancient book, but also saw
A big cauldron with written words!"
"It seems that my research will make a big discovery soon." Li Yuan couldn't help shouting. After calming down, he continued to ask: "Mr. Ye, where did you find the big tripod?
This is very likely to be one of the nine tripods left by Dayu to control the floods in ancient legends. If you can bring it to me for research, I will definitely make greater discoveries!"
"Ahem, at Lufa Palace."
Ye Xuan said embarrassedly.
"Ah, this..."
Hearing these words, Li Yuan was embarrassed.
"But it doesn't matter. This is related to our family after all. I will find a way to lend this thing out. If I borrow it for study, they won't have any objections, right?"
Ye Xuan secretly made up his mind.
"Long Wei, go find the person in charge of Lufa Palace, explain my identity, and tell us that we want to use this for research."
Ye Xuan decided to negotiate with the person in charge.
After a while, Long Wei brought a bald man in a suit to Ye Xuan.
"Hello Mr. Ye, I am the current person in charge of Lufa Palace. You can call me Nole."
The man extended his hand with a smile.
"My name is Ye Xuan, the director of the Dragon Intelligence Bureau."
After Ye Xuan also shook hands with him in a friendly manner, the man took him to the conference room.
"Actually, that's the case. Mr. Ye, I have heard of the reputation of the Dragon Intelligence Agency, and I respect you very much."
"But these cultural relics are items kept by our Lufa Palace. We have the right to keep them. In order to protect the cultural relics, we will not let outside researchers conduct research. We will have our own researchers to study the cultural relics."
"But if you are really interested in Dading, you can assist us in research and share the research content with us, and we will also charge study fees for the research, or... you can use it in the form of an auction.
Buy this big bronze cauldron."
Nolai looked at Ye Xuan with a smile and gave Ye Xuan two choices.
"Oh, don't you just want us to spend money?"
Ye Xuan could see Nolai's thoughts at a glance.
"This is something from our country. Daxia's culture is extensive and profound. Only if you can study it can you be successful!"
"You can't figure out the calendar for this big cauldron. It's just a decoration in a museum. You might as well give it to me!"
"This can be regarded as a favor that I owe you. If you need my help in the future, I will not ignore it!"
Ye Xuan patted his chest.
However, this sentence made Nole laugh.
"Hahaha, Mr. Ye Xuan, you are so humorous. I really don't know if you are really humorous or...stupid?"
"I've already said that if you want to study cultural relics, you have to pay for anything, otherwise you won't be able to touch this big cauldron."
"We really don't know the origin of this big cauldron, but if you want to get it from us, you have to pay a price. Even if you are the leader of the Dragon Intelligence Bureau, you have to pay me!"
Nole reached out and rubbed his fingers.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then tell me the price."
In fact, Ye Xuan was unwilling in every possible way.
After all, this is a cultural relic of Daxia. If I want to study it now, I have to spend a lot of money to buy it back.
And this money is given to foreigners and the descendants of robbers!
This made Ye Xuan even more unhappy.
"Mr. Ye, are you really interested in this bronze tripod?"
"Okay, how about this number?"
Nolai saw Ye Xuan's heart moved, so he wrote 800 on the paper.
"Good brother, buy it for me for eight hundred yuan, and I will recognize you as a friend!"
Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"No, no, no, you are thinking too much. How can it be eight hundred yuan?"
"This is a priceless treasure. Eight hundred dollars is simply an insult to this bronze cauldron."
Noley rolled his eyes.
"It is indeed somewhat impossible."
Long Wei on the side couldn't help laughing.
"Then yours is...eight million?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Unexpectedly, this Nole Lion opened his mouth and dared to offer him such a high price!
"No no no."
Nole also shook his head.
"Huh? What is that?"
This time, let alone Ye Xuan, even Long Wei was confused.
"It's not expensive either. Your Dragon Intelligence Bureau should be able to afford it...it only costs 80 billion."
Nole showed a sly smile.
"Is there a bank nearby?" Ye Xuan asked.
"Yes, there is one downstairs."
Nolai was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Ye Xuan really planned to pay.
Then, Ye Xuan's face darkened and he asked: "There is a bank nearby, why don't you go and rob it?"
"Eighty billion? Just go ahead and dream. Eight hundred yuan is about the same. Eight million is too much for me!"
Ye Xuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"It doesn't matter. I have no intention of selling the bronze tripod to you at this price."
"Of course, if you people are stupid and have too much money, I won't mind if 80 billion is put into your account."
"I will put the bronze cauldron at auction with a starting price of 80 billion. If you can't come up with the money and someone else robs it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
Nolai sat down, took a sip of coffee, and let Ye Xuan make his choice very elegantly.
