Chapter 238 Tiger-shaped Jade Pendant
Shen You worked hard for two days and put together the candlestick.
The preservation condition is surprisingly good. Although it has inevitably oxidized after so many years and developed a green patina, the patterns on it are very clear and exquisite.
The overall candle holder is in the shape of a flower tree, with a length of 48.2cm, and exquisite craftsmanship. According to the standards of the time, it was a first-class luxury product.
Yes, it is a ritual vessel. There are a few words on it. Judging from the shape, it is probably divination, communicating the meaning of ghosts and gods.
If it appeared at an auction, this condition would fetch 30 million yuan.
The price is still a conservative estimate. A few years ago in a foreign auction, a 35cm Warring States bronze pot fetched more than 8 million knives.
The late Shang Dynasty Taotie ritual vessel, 57cm, even sold for more than 20 million dollars.
Bu (bu) is the name of an ancient vessel, used to hold wine or water.
The one in Shen You’s hand has an animal mask pattern on the base, three branches, and the chassis above is complete.
She couldn't get this thing out at home, so she had to go abroad and bring it back through a clear way. It didn't matter if it was displayed in the future so that others could see it.
The things in your hands are too good, so you have to be careful about being stared at, especially bronze items.
Sell, Shen You doesn't plan to sell, the altar has some connection with Wen Zhi.
This candlestick is also very collectible due to its unique shape.
She kept samples of the soil that originally covered it, and she might be able to detect something useful.
Because bronzes were found at the altar, Shen You also went to check some information.
The famous bronze sword of King Goujian of Yue was still golden and very sharp when it was unearthed.
Using modern technology to crack it, we found that there is a special coating on it, only about 0.1 mm, which is chromium.
Given the conditions at the time, it was hard to imagine that such a thing could be made.
Unfortunately, the manufacturing method of bronze swords has been lost.
For the remaining items, Shen You would first clean up the complete jade pieces and animal bones, and then take his time later. It might take a year or two to work together.
It was still too slow for her to do it alone.
Wearing a mask and gloves, Shen You operated carefully under the light.
For easy viewing, all the text has been printed and placed in order.
Unexpectedly, after sorting it out, I found that there are quite a few, and it is only part of it.
Through comparison, we found that these oracle bone inscriptions are mixed with some bronze inscriptions, and the writing method is somewhat different from that in modern times, but the difference is not particularly big.
Some words are indeed not found in the oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions that have been discovered here.
Shen You rubbed his eyes, took off his gloves, took a sip of the raw coconut latte he made.
Research-type work like comparing words is still not suitable for her. She is better at hands-on work.
My eyes are dazzled and I don’t seem to even recognize the words.
If she could, she really wanted to have the perspective in the dream. The dream had long been blurred and confusing, but she remembered that she didn't recognize all the words "perspective in the dream", so she naturally knew those obscure destiny numbers.
I don’t recognize you when I wake up.
Shen You shook her head, no, in two days, she would have to ask the teacher to come over.
It is easier to clean jade.
Shen You had just been searching for a while. When it was stained with dirt at first, he thought it was a piece of broken jade based on its shape. The color was beautiful, so he cleaned it up first.
Unexpectedly, it was a complete jade pendant!
Looking at the carving, you can tell how simple it is, the tiger-shaped jade pendant.
A bit like an emoticon.
It’s really a surprise that it can be polished so smoothly.
Shen You looked at the 'clods' in the basket with bright eyes, they were all treasures!
After night falls, everything in the north is silent, and the candlelight and bonfires lit in the military camp are the only light.
Wen Zhi came to the shop from the camp, pushed open the wooden door, and passed by the yard. Behind the grilles on the next door, Shen You was holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a pen in the other, copying the words on the animal bones. The surface of the animal bones is uneven and some have been broken, making it difficult to make rubbings.
Seeing Wen Zhi come back, Shen You subconsciously raised her head. The magnifying glass was still held in front of her eyes. The surrounding objects were distorted, which made her raise the corners of her lips.
Wen Zhi's eyes were stunned for a moment. The woman under the light was wearing a housecoat hat on her head. She looked furry, and her slender wrists seemed to be emitting a glimmer of light.
The smile on her face immediately made his chest jump.
"Are things going well?"
Wen Zhi's lips curled up with a smile in his eyes, "The situation is good so far."
But in the future, there must be something It was a hard battle, so there was no need to talk about it and worry her.
"There is still food in the refrigerator." Shen You said and continued to write the next few strokes of the unfinished text.
"Yeah." Wen Zhi smiled and nodded, "I'm making fried noodles, do you want some more?"
After hearing the fried noodles, Shen You had a picture in his mind, and made a gesture, "A little bit ! ”
It’s not her fault that she ate too much, she wanted to eat because it was cold, and the food made by Wen Zhi was delicious.
As expected of someone who has lived in several food desert countries.
Having something to eat can alleviate the boring feeling of writing, and I seem to be energetic again!
He looked at Shen You holding a few rubbings, with modern words written on the notebook at hand.
It should be a rubbing from a slate. Some of the content is related to the mountains and terrain, and another one records stargazing and hexagrams.
“Can you still understand this?” Wen Zhi was stunned for two seconds.
Those who know the fate of heaven have the ability in their destiny. It is said that she is no longer the priest she once was, and her destiny is not similar.
"Do you look at me like I understand?" Shen You pointed at herself and turned her head to look at him with a confused expression.
Some characters can be found in the comparison table between oracle bone inscriptions and modern characters. They are somewhat similar but have different details.
Some of them don’t even know what they are, so they can only half-check the comments and half-guess.
“Do you understand?!” Shen You looked at Wen Zhi and showed the antique shop owner’s signature profiteer smile, “Help me take a look and I will write.”
“ OK." Wen Zhi took the rubbing.
Originally, he did not know so many ancient texts, but he learned some about them from his former supervisor.
Because it feels like déjà vu.
It wasn’t until Shen You dug out the mountain god stone statue that he remembered everything.
Thanks to her teaching him at that time, he can understand it now.
"This is related to Feng Shui, celestial phenomena, and hexagrams." Shen You looked at the translated content in the notebook, "Things left by the priest."
She suddenly chuckled Sigh,
"In the first half of last year, I asked someone to do a divination and lost two hundred yuan, but the other party didn't seem to say anything even though they said it."
That's two hundred yuan! At that time, she was still a social animal who was squeezed by the company. Later, when she thought about it, she felt heartbroken. Wouldn't it be delicious to drink milk tea with it?
What should I say
It cannot be equal to her now, but it is indeed related to her.
In modern times, really powerful masters can make no less money than selling antiques, and ordinary people cannot see them at all.
Seeing Shen You's expression of pain after losing two hundred yuan, Wen Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Do you think a powerful modern fortune teller can understand it?" Shen You suddenly thought.
"Are you from this plane? I guess you can't learn even if you look at it. Times and planes are different, and the stars may not necessarily match. What's more, people who can understand the secrets of the sky have always been Not much."
"That's right." Shen You couldn't deny it.
Next, she plans to filter out the things related to the mountains, rivers and terrain, and see if they are of any use.
This part should be the simplest and has nothing to do with destiny.
I checked the information and saw a lot of good-looking things and planned to make Song Brocade bags myself QAQ
Shen You: I used to be the most powerful priest, but now I have lost two hundred yuan
