Chapter 559 The White Jade Divine Cauldron of the Warring States Period (Part 2)
The passage leading to the other end of the dormitory hall was successfully opened under He Qing's instructions. Once opened, He Qing and Master Pan walked in and quickly entered the other side of the dormitory hall.
The moment he walked in, He Qing's eyes suddenly brightened, because the "treasure light" shrouded inside became more and more intense.
At the same time, Master Pan and Master Zhou also exclaimed.
"Haha, there are more cultural relics here!" Master Huang laughed loudly.
Master Pan also praised: "Yes, there are so many national treasures!"
"Hey, what is this? Why does it look weird?" Che Juan, a student of the archaeological team, was also surprised.
Master Pan replied: "Xiaojuan, that is a big tripod."
Che Juan said doubtfully: "It doesn't look like a bronze tripod. I don't know what material it is made of."
"That's the white jade cauldron!" He Qing replied smoothly.
The tripod that Che Juan pointed to was placed next to the coffin, very conspicuous.
He Qing and the others noticed it as soon as they came in. Of course, He Qing was the first to notice it. Before the passage was opened, he noticed the "white jade cauldron" in front of him through a strong "baoguang".
Moreover, he knew the ins and outs of that tripod and knew the situation of that national treasure better than anyone else.
"White jade cauldron?!" Hearing what He Qing said, Che Juan, Master Pan and others were stunned for a while, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Yes, it's the White Jade Cauldron." He Qing nodded solemnly.
"In all my years of archeology, I have never seen such a large jade tripod!" Master Pan exclaimed.
Surprised, they walked up quickly and took a closer look.
When they saw it clearly, Master Pan and the others no longer had any doubts and were able to confirm that it was indeed a large jade cauldron.
"Yes, we have never found such a large piece of jade. It is made of pure white jade!" Master Zhou said loudly after inspecting it carefully.
"National treasure. Definitely a national treasure!" Master Huang said excitedly, "Congratulations, brother, you have done a great job again this time and helped us find such an important cultural relic!"
He Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "This is everyone's credit. I didn't discover the thing. I just came to check it out with everyone."
It is true that he did not discover the white jade cauldron, but it was the first thing he saw.
Master Huang quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too humble. The credit is yours. This is what we have witnessed with our own eyes and no one can deny it. Brother He, let's study this jade.
Ding."
"Well, it's worth taking a closer look." He Qing nodded.
At that moment, he, Master Pan, and the others began to examine the huge jade tripod in detail.
What appeared in front of them at this moment was a sacred vessel, which could be called a "divine tripod".
The large cauldron is about one meter high from the feet to the uppermost part. It is made of white jade, with a brownish gray color. The jade color is transparent and crystal clear, and it is dazzling. It has a flat mouth, a bulging belly, symmetrical ears on both sides of the cauldron, and three animal feet at the bottom.
Describe the Taotie pattern.
The mouth and ears of the tripod are engraved with patterns, and the outer wall is engraved with chilong patterns, string patterns, and Taotie patterns in high relief. The patterns are exquisitely carved, and the patterns are beautiful and elegant. The shape is exquisite.
"This is really a 'White Jade Divine Cauldron'!" Master Pan said happily after reading it.
Master Zhou nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, it is very magical! This big cauldron must weigh two to three hundred kilograms, right?!"
"Yes!" Master Huang replied, "Looking at the inscription on it, we can confirm that this is an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period. In other words, this is a 'White Jade Divine Cauldron' from the Warring States Period. It is extremely precious!"
For a moment, Master Pan and the others were filled with admiration and were extremely excited.
The discovery of such a large "important artifact" was naturally a huge gain for them. Although they knew that there were precious cultural relics hidden inside, they did not expect that there was a jade tripod in the middle. This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
"Brother Qing, that jade tripod is so big and made of a piece of natural white jade. It must be very valuable, right?" Lin Haitao suddenly whispered in He Qing's ear.
He Qing chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Haitao, if you ask this, I can only tell you that the value of that thing is immeasurable. To be precise, it is a priceless treasure, because it is an extremely precious cultural relic with special information content.
Big ones, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy them because the state won't sell them at all.
"But for ordinary collectors, that thing may be just average and not of high value. After all, the quality of white jade is not very good. It should be a relatively ordinary jade, not as good as Hetian white jade. If it is He's
Made of the finest white jade like a jade, its value is terrifying!"
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "Yes. If it is ancient mutton-fat white jade, let alone a piece of jade as big as a jade tripod, even a jade pendant would be of immeasurable value."
"Yes, just like He's Bi. If we could find the real He's Bi now, it would be great!" He Qing said.
Lin Haitao laughed and said: "Isn't He's Bi made into a jade seal? The 'Jade Seal of the Kingdom' is now buried with Genghis Khan's ancient tomb on the Mongolian prairie. It has been completely lost and is impossible to find!"
He Qing smiled meaningfully and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe someone will find it."
For ordinary people, trying to find the lost "Jade Seal" in the boundless ancient Mongolian prairie is indeed like finding a needle in a haystack, which is impossible. However, in He Qing's view, this matter is not absolute.
, because unlike ordinary people, he can see the spiritual light emitted by cultural relics through his eyes, so he can easily find treasures.
He will look for this huge treasure later. As long as he finds clues, he hopes to get the world-famous shocking national treasure.
After looking at the jade tripod, Master Pan and the others turned to look at other cultural relics.
In addition to the cultural relics in the dormitory hall, there are also many precious cultural relics in the side hall at the back, which is a great harvest.
Then, the archaeological team and other staff from the cultural relics department moved out the precious cultural relics from the ancient tomb one by one.
By about ten o'clock in the evening, the cultural relics inside were almost finished.
By now, the ancient tomb had been excavated, and the police who originally guarded it had withdrawn.
After being busy for a long time, He Qing and the others returned to the hotel where they were staying.
"Haitao, I want to explore that ancient tomb again, will you go?"
After eating with Master Pan and walking into the room, He Qing suddenly said.
"Brother Qing, are you still going to explore that ancient tomb?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Aren't all the things in there moved away? There is nothing. What are you going to do there?"
He Qing shook his head blankly and said softly: "I can't tell you why, but I always feel that it is not that simple. There is a mystery hidden in that ancient tomb!"
