Kavin's father is also a well-known archaeological expert in my country. He may not be as good as Yang Zheng in China, but he often helps domestic collectors appraise antiques.
Kavin inherited his father's hobbies and talents. Because the archeology department is not important in the entire Jiangcheng University, no one knows it. But in the archeology department, he is a star figure, second only to the department beauty Yang Lin.
I didn't expect to meet Chen Zhe today who didn't understand anything but still dared to talk nonsense. The arrogant and arrogant Calvin looked back at Yang Lin and found that Yang Lin was silent. The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "This time we The inspection team was led by Professor Yang Zheng. It gave our Department of Archeology a chance to practice. But it required a lot of professional knowledge. Yang Lin, our student president, was afraid that Jiangcheng University’s talents who knew antiques would be buried, so we organized such a recruitment fair. We don't welcome you, a nymphomaniac who only knows how to hang around beautiful women. Please leave."
If it were Chen Zhe a year ago, he would either swallow his anger and turn around and leave, or start a quarrel with the other party with a red face.
He knew that Yang Lin, who was sitting in the middle, was the one who really had the right to speak. So he looked at her with a smile: "Do I need to continue talking?"
"What are you talking about? Get out of here. You are an unlearned piece of trash. Ugly people make mischief." Kavin waved his hand angrily, signaling Chen Zhe to leave quickly.
Yang Lin frowned and glanced at Calvin: "Caven, let him continue."
"Yang Lin, didn't you show this vase to my father? He said it was a failed product made by the Saklar people who wanted to imitate the Han people's porcelain firing technology. That's why it looked like this. Your grandfather didn't deny it either. "Huh?" Kavin stood up excitedly: "The two of us already represent the highest level of the Department of Archeology of Jiangsu University. How could anyone from other departments see this?"
Chen Zhe really didn't understand why Calvin was so excited.
But he heard it from Calvin's words. This vase was brought back by Professor Yang Zheng from the northwest archaeological place. Yang Lin and Calvin, two top students in the archeology department, did not recognize this thing. But Calvin's father concluded that This is a failed imitation work by the Saklar tribe. Professor Yang Zheng was vague and did not make a conclusion. So Yang Lin wanted to try to see if anyone at Jiangcheng University really knows how to identify antiques. If he is really talented, he plans to take him to the northwest. desert……
As soon as Yang Lin spoke, Kavin finally sat down. But his expression must not be good. Especially when he looked at Chen Zhe, he was full of disdain.
Chen Zhe understood Kavin's pride as a "top student". But it was difficult for him to smile at Kavin. So he looked at Yang Lin and said, "Yes. This shape is indeed a vase. This is indeed not the case." I know you may have noticed the words below."
While talking, Chen Zhe picked up the vase and exposed the bottom of the vase.
Calvin and another boy from the archeology department immediately exclaimed. This is a genuine antique. It is not a replica of a museum. It looks unremarkable. But if it is auctioned, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan.
Yang Lin acted very calm, but she was dissatisfied with Chen Zhe's recklessness. She frowned and looked at Chen Zhe: "Be careful. Don't hurt the bottle."
"Put it down quickly. You can't afford to pay for it if it's broken." Kavin wanted to rush over and grab the bottle, but he was still afraid that Chen Zhe would accidentally drop the bottle to the ground.
Chen Zhe smiled: "I want to say that I know this bottle well. You will not believe it. But from the time I entered the house to now, I have never seen the bottom of the bottle. I have never been to the northwest. I am not a student of the archeology department. I have no archeology major. An elder. But I still know that the words written on the bottom of this bottle are: The leader of a hundred warriors. The protection of the four spirits. Impregnable... I don’t know if what I said is right."
After saying this, Yang Lin, who was still calm when Chen Zhe picked up the bottle, changed her face: "How do you know?"
Under the bottle are twelve seal characters, but they are exactly the same as what Chen Zhe said.
Kavin was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. But he didn't believe that Chen Zhe knew how to identify antiques. He curled his lips and said, "It must have been deceived."
"Not only do I know these twelve words, I also know that the place where you unearthed this bottle was definitely not the home of an ancient resident, nor was it an ancient pottery factory. It must have been dug out under the northern wall of the ancient city where it was discovered. Yes." Chen Zhe said firmly.
Yang Lin was beyond surprised. She was different from Calvin. Although she was a top student, Yang Lin believed in the saying "masters are among the people" more than Calvin. This bottle not only stumped her, but also stumped domestic appraisals. The grandfather of an antique figure, Calvin's father, took this bottle and said it was a vase. But after Yang Lin's many researches, she felt that this thing was not a vase, but an item with religious meaning. It's a pity that this thing she I also showed it to some people from the Taoist Association. They didn’t know either.
Unexpectedly, someone actually said the purpose of this thing. And it was almost the same as Yang Lin guessed.
Yang Lin looked at Chen Zhe: "Keep talking. If what you say makes sense, I will let you join this inspection group. I will apply to the school for a 10,000 yuan specialty research subsidy. I will help you pay for it for two months. Leave. And if you go on an inspection trip with us this time, I will apply to the school for reimbursement of all expenses. There will also be a subsidy of 100 yuan per day."
A series of things were thrown out. Chen Zhe smiled: "The treatment is really good. Okay. I will tell you everything I know. But if some people don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."
He glanced at Calvin and weighed the bottle in his hand: "I said at the beginning that this was the formation eye of the Taoist formation. This thing is definitely not one, but four. One each in the southeast, northwest, and I don't know the rest. Have you found any?"
"No. Now our country's archaeological expedition team has excavated part of the outer perimeter of the northern city wall. Due to the age, the country is afraid of damaging such a valuable antique, so it has temporarily stopped the excavation. It will send the country's archaeological elite to the northwest." Yang Lin slowly explained.
This girl's attitude has always been very cold. Whether it was Chen Zhe who met her for the first time or Kavin who was familiar with her. But when Chen Zhe said those twelve words just now, she acted very excited. It seems that she didn't mean it. Who am I snubbing? But apart from things related to archeology, I have no enthusiasm for anything else.
Those alumni who regard her as a goddess, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. This woman definitely has no interest in anything between men and women.
Chen Zhe really wanted to join the archaeological team this time, so he knew he had to take strong medicine. As long as Yang Lin was calmed down, he would naturally join the archaeological team. As for Calvin, he didn't care at all.
Yang Lin carefully wrote down Chen Zhe's words on the paper. She raised her head and asked Chen Zhe: "Then can you explain what the following twelve words mean."
"It's actually very simple. These four bottles form the Four Spirits Formation of Taoism in our country. The so-called Four Spirits are the four sacred beasts. The East Green Dragon, the North Xuanwu, the West White Tiger, and the South Suzaku. The Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are collectively called the Four. Elephant is also called the Forty Thousand Four Gods. So this formation is also called the Four Elephant Formation. The Forty Thousand Four Gods Formation. The one we dug up is the Xuanwu bottle. Look at the pattern on it. It vaguely looks like a combination of a snake and a turtle. "Chen Zhe smiled and shook the bottle.
Although Yang Lin was very interested in what Chen Zhe said, she felt that Chen Zhe's behavior was not very solemn. She didn't like his words and deeds. She frowned and said: "Put the bottle down first. In case something goes wrong, either me or you Neither of them can take responsibility.”
"Hmph. You are making up these things yourself. They are just like the truth. How can you prove that this is some kind of Xuanwu bottle?" Kavin looked at Chen Zhe and questioned.
Chen Zhe smiled: "The Four Spirit Array changes at any time. The Xuanwu is thick. The green dragon contains vitality. The white tiger represents chilling. The red bird represents activeness. I will throw it. If it doesn't break, it proves that I am wrong."
As he spoke, Chen Zhe raised the dark bottle high in his hand and threw it to the ground with almost all his strength.
At this moment, Kavin was dumbfounded by Chen Zhe's actions. Yang Lin screamed: "No."
The remaining boy wanted to rush over, but there was no time. The bottle fell to the ground with a bang and made a loud noise. Yang Lin couldn't care about Chen Zhe and rushed over to look at the bottle.
The bottle was spinning around on the ground. Yang Lin squatted on the ground and inspected it carefully. Not to mention breaking, there was not even a crack or a single scratch.
What this man said is true.
Yang Lin looked up at Chen Zhe. Chen Zhe smiled: "Look, I said he can't be broken."
Kavin rushed over and pushed Chen Zhe away: "Get away. I'm going to call the police to catch you, a lunatic who destroys cultural relics." As he said that, he took out his cell phone and was about to dial 110. But Yang Lin still held down his cell phone and turned to Chen Zhe. Zhe said: "Report your student number, department, name and relevant information. I will report your name to the department later. Just wait for the results."
She glanced at Kavin again: "Don't call the police. The cultural relics are not damaged."
Kavin took the phone and glanced at Chen Zhe hatefully. He really wanted to call the police and arrest Chen Zhe, but Yang Lin didn't want to listen to what he said. After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the phone.
Although he said he was waiting for the results, Chen Zhe already knew that he would definitely be on the list this time. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for listening to me. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't be so patient."
He was talking about Calvin. How could Yang Lin not know? She looked at Chen Zhe: "Although we are not sure about the final result, what you said makes sense. I will take your guess to senior scholars in our country. Take a look. But if you join our team, please pay attention to your words and deeds in the future."
"What's wrong with my words and deeds?" Chen Zhe looked at her strangely.
Yang Lin paused for a moment and then said: "It's too frivolous. It makes people feel unreliable."
Damn, Chen Zhe is wronged. I call this frivolous. I will introduce Han Jie to you someday. If I am frivolous, then he is frivolous.
Yang Lin pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I'm very surprised. How did you know about this Four Spirit Array?"
Chen Zhe smiled. The Four Spirit Formation is the formation of the Way of All Living Beings. These four formation eyes are also objects of the Way of All Living Beings. It’s just that when Taoist Tianyan rebelled, he took these four treasures away and disappeared. He was in the Way of All Living Beings. I have seen records in ancient books. How could I not recognize it?
But I couldn't tell Yang Lin. Chen Zhe just made it up: "I liked reading when I was a child. I knew an old man who had a rich collection of books. He had a book that wrote about it."
Yang Lin asked him: "Do you still have that book?"
"Oh. I borrowed his book to read. I didn't bring any paper with me when I went to the toilet, so I used it." Chen Zhe replied.
Yang Lin frowned and looked at Chen Zhe: "Where is that old man with a rich collection of books you mentioned?"
"Dead." Chen Zhe definitely couldn't tell her about the world of sentient beings.
Yang Lin still refused to give up: "Then his collection of books must be passed on to his descendants."
"He has no children or grandchildren, nor is he married." Chen Zhe continued to compile.
Yang Lin planned to get to the bottom of it: "What about the brothers and sisters?"
"The old man is an only son. His family has been passed down for 108 generations. When he dies, there will be no more." Chen Zhe replied.
Yang really wanted to find that book, so he continued to ask: "There must be some neighbors. Who did he pass his book to?"
"He is an independent scholar. The book was later passed to a scrap collection station. It was sold for 20 cents a pound." Chen Zhe said with a pity on his face: "Such a valuable thing is just returned. To tell you the truth. I’m also very sad.”
Kawen looked at Chen Zhe from the side. He turned around and said to Yang Lin, "He must be lying to you."
"I know." Yang Lin nodded: "We are going to the northwest anyway. I can always ask you questions along the way."
Chen Zhe had an inexplicable panic about his trip to the northwest. Being entangled with such a cold and persistent woman seemed like the journey would not be very pleasant.
