Feeling like something was crushed, Chen Wenzhe suddenly fell into a dark pit.
However, he was not afraid, instead he was filled with surprises.
This seemingly dead end place actually has life hidden there.
Take out your phone, turn on the light, and look up.
The top was originally covered by a wooden board, but I don't know how many years have passed, and the wooden board has decayed.
Even if he didn't step on it, it would soon rot away, otherwise there would be no grass growing.
Looking at the stone wall, there are traces of carvings, and Chen Wenzhe is very familiar with these traces. This is the craftsmanship of their local stonemason.
A few days ago, he had seen it at Chen Qinglin's construction site. It was the kind of stone that formed the foundation. The carvings on it were exactly the same as those here.
This excavated space is just a passage, and only one person can pass through it.
There will definitely be no treasure left in a place like this.
Chen Wenzhe is also considered to be an expert and bold person. He held up his mobile phone and walked forward carefully.
It twisted and turned, going downwards and downwards. After breaking through another layer of wooden boards, it finally came to an earth cave.
There is nothing here? I jumped out of the hole and came outside, and found another familiar scene here.
He often came here to play when he was a child, but instead of coming through the mountain village, he climbed up through another road at the bottom of the mountain.
If he remembered correctly, there was a small temple not far down.
It's not a historical site, it's just a small, low stone house made of piled stones.
Sure enough, after just turning a corner and bypassing a huge boulder, I saw the small temple.
Chen Wenzhe was a little disappointed. People who entered the mountain almost always rested near the mountain temple.
What kind of treasure could be hidden in a place like this?
After walking around a lot, he found nothing. He was a little frustrated.
When I came to the small temple, I naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
This is a mountain temple, which houses a wooden mountain god. I don’t know which god it is.
If the spirit is not working, you must worship it when you come. This is the rule when going up the mountain.
Believe it or not, it’s not surprising that there are many gods!
After bowing three times and standing up, Chen Wenzhe looked at the incense burner on the altar in a funny way, which was full of cigarette butts.
Needless to say, it must have been done by men climbing the mountain.
Men from the surrounding villages would go into the mountains to pick mushrooms during the summer rainy season, as long as it rained.
When you come here to worship God, what should you do if you don’t bring any incense or candles? Just light up the cigarettes.
Chen Wenzhe doesn't smoke, so naturally he can't even offer cigarettes.
Looking at the dark statue, it seems that it has been burned, and the poor altar table is just a stone slab.
On the contrary, the incense burner is somewhat well-preserved. It only has some defects on the edges, but it looks like it is made of clay!
"Mud?" A closer look revealed that it was indeed a mud tire.
It's just a clay tire, not fired. It's just a clay tire stove, and it's been left here for who knows how long.
The patina on the outside of the mud tires can be a bit thick.
Of course, mud tires look thicker, but it’s just that they are made of mud and can be molded. You can’t ask for anything else.
"This method of living mud is pretty good!"
As a master of clay training, Chen Wenzhe has a better understanding of clay than ordinary people.
He could tell just by looking at it that the mud used in this incense burner was pure red soil. At least there were no grains of sand, otherwise it would have cracked long ago.
If you place an incense burner made of mud here, no one will touch it.
However, there is a problem when the carefully selected yellow clay is made into an incense burner but is not fired.
Even if a crudely made ceramic incense burner was placed here, Chen Wenzhe would not be surprised.
After all, this is a mountain temple. No one would steal the incense burner here?
Even back then, if someone wanted to cause great damage, they would only smash it twice and burn the statue.
In this way, it would be more interesting to get a mud tire and put it here.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenzhe took action directly.
After just a little movement, he discovered the problem.
The weight is wrong, no wonder the mud tires on the outside are so thick!
He picked it up without hesitation, walked out of the temple door, and dumped the cigarette butts and gravel inside. He actually found a lot of incense ashes inside. It seemed that someone had brought incense and candles to worship.
However, Chen Wenzhe had nothing else to blame at this time, because he knew that there must be heavy metal hidden in this incense burner.
After thinking for a while, he walked far away and smashed the mud tires outside.
"Ming Dynasty Xuande year system? Is this a Xuande furnace?"
Looking at the gray incense burner, it must be a copper tire!
After careful inspection, I can see no signs of distress!
This is quite surprising. Even if it is an imitation, it still has a certain value.
During this treasure hunt, I actually found a hidden treasure here.
I feel a little sorry for the mountain god here, but I even wanted to take away his incense burner.
"Master Mountain God, don't be weird. When I get back, I will bring you a new incense burner and a pig's head as an offering!"
After making amends to the mountain god, Chen Wenzhe took the copper incense burner with peace of mind and walked quickly down the mountain.
"Still not right, the weight is too light!"
After walking a few steps, Chen Wenzhe stopped. How much does a small incense burner about ten centimeters high weigh?
Even with the mud tires on the outside, it still can't achieve the same feeling of pressure just now.
Returning to the mountain temple, Chen Wenzhe smashed the entire mud tire left here.
"puff!"
"There really is something!"
After cleaning it carefully, I found six large yellow croakers!
In the mud tire outside, wrapping the bottom of the incense burner, there are actually six gold bars hidden!
Chen Wenzhe understood that this was the escape path left by the owner of the cottage.
A Xuande furnace and six gold bars, if used well, can successfully escape the enemy's pursuit.
"One stick weighs half a catty, and six sticks weigh 1,780 grams. This weighs three kilograms, which is quite a lot."
Holding six gold bars, it feels great to press them!
Of course, if we really want to calculate the value, perhaps this incense burner is worth even more.
As a distressing expert, he can still tell whether it is fake and whether it has value.
Of course, he had no extravagant expectations. This was the real Xuande furnace.
However, as long as the imitation is good, even the Xuande furnace imitated in the later Qing Dynasty has some value. Even if it is imitated in the Republic of China, it is always a copper furnace, right?
Even if you sell scrap copper, you can still get it for seventy or eighty yuan.
This is the harvest. No matter how much he harvests, his treasure hunt this time can be regarded as a complete success.
The treasure was found, but the independent inheritance was not activated, so the treasure hunt mission remained as silent as ever.
Touching the small incense burner in his hand, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but want to try it. If this incense burner was a high-quality one, would he learn the craftsmanship of casting Xuande incense burners?
I was afraid that there was a greater chance that this incense burner was a high imitation, so he gave up on this impulse.
Although there are many opportunities for independent inheritance, they cannot be wasted without reason.
Anyway, now that he has accepted the inheritance, he won't need it, so just keep it for a while and give it a chance, and he won't be able to fly.
