"What's wrong?" Zuo Chenye was shocked when he heard the sound. He quickly stood up and walked towards Master Huang.
Master Huang pointed to the inside of the vessel.
The original oxidized black color of the silver pendant has mostly faded away, revealing its original appearance.
"It looks like a small dagger, wide and short, what do you think?" Zuo Chenye pointed at the pendant and asked Master Huang.
"Yes, Young Master Zuo has a good eye. In our country L, in ancient times, female generals would wear a wide and short dagger like this for self-defense. Of course, bows and arrows were the main weapons they used." Master Huang used a cotton swab to reach into the
Inside the vessel, he gently wiped the pendant and pointed it to Zuo Chenye, "Look, although this part is severely worn, the original general shape can still be seen."
After saying that, Master Huang stood up, found an ancient book from the bookshelf, turned to the middle page, and pointed it to Zuo Chenye.
"Look, does it look like a dagger like this?"
"Yes, it's very similar. Master Huang, you are really well-informed and you can tell at a glance." Zuo Chenye praised, "Could it be that this is something left over from the general's house in ancient times?"
"That's not true. It looks like it's only a hundred years old, so it's not that long ago. It should be a modern reproduction, using ancient utensils, in order to get a certain meaning." Master Huang sat back on the workbench and asked again, "Young Master Zuo.
, this pendant should be worn by women."
"That's right." Zuo Chenye nodded.
"That's right. It is definitely the type of dagger used by female generals in ancient times. There is some kind of totem engraved on it, you see." Master Huang pointed to the pattern on the pendant, "This will be the key to the origin of this pendant.
.”
"Can you see clearly?" Zuo Chenye stepped forward and looked carefully, but it was still difficult to distinguish.
"Master Zuo needs to wait a little longer. It will probably take me a few hours to restore the pattern part on the computer, so that I can roughly see the original totem look." After Master Huang finished speaking, he turned on the computer on the desktop with a proud expression.
"You have found the right person when you come to me for this matter. You see, I am best at restoring cultural relics. I can make even vague objects reveal their original shape better than you."
Various restored patterns are displayed on the huge display screen, which are extremely exquisite and lifelike.
Zuo Chenye couldn't help but secretly sigh, this Master Huang of Sanwentang is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he has a very high reputation in this industry.
"Thank you. I'll wait here." Zuo Chenye said.
On the side, Xu Anning was even more surprised.
When did the CEO's patience become so good? In the past, the CEO would have left directly and asked him to pick it up later. Not to mention, he would have sat here all day.
The wait was extremely long.
At noon, Zuo Chenye went out for lunch with Xu Anning, and helped Master Huang pack a portion.
Master Huang is very dedicated to his work. He forgets to eat and sleep, just take a few bites and keep working.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Master Huang straightened his waist, stretched his limbs, and stretched his muscles.
"Young Master Zuo, you're fine now. Come and take a look," Master Huang said.
During the boring waiting time, Xu Anning sat until her waist almost broke and fell asleep. When Master Huang called out, he woke up immediately.
Zuo Chenye had already stood up and approached the computer.
Master Huang turned the computer screen to Zuo Chenye, pointed at the screen and said, "Look, the pattern has been restored. There are many overlapping strokes, so it took longer and made Zuo Shao wait."
On the screen, the black and white pattern showed a huge ball shape, slightly oval, with countless slender leaves extending from the root like tentacles, forming a ball shape.
It's a very strange thing, plants don't look like plants, and animals don't look like animals.
"What kind of totem is this?" Zuo Chenye couldn't help but ask.
"It's really rare. I just checked the information for a long time. It feels like this." Master Huang switched to the search page, opened the introduction and said, "Silver Arrow Grass, this kind of plant grows in high-altitude volcanic craters, and is in the
In a harsh desert-like environment, volcanoes continuously emit steam, causing the surrounding area to be in a high temperature state. It is usually difficult to see any living creatures in the volcanic crater, but the silver arrow plant is an exception. It has tenacious vitality and must withstand the test of the scorching sun during the day.
, and at night, it fights against nature in sub-zero temperatures. Even so, its lifespan is still as long as twenty years, making it the most peculiar flower in nature."
Zuo Chenye compared them carefully and found that they looked very similar.
"Well, it makes sense. The shape of the weapon is the dagger used by female generals in ancient times. The totem is the silver arrow grass. It means that the original purpose of this pendant should be for a girl, hoping that she can survive even in the worst environment.
Very good." Zuo Chenye analyzed it.
"Yes, that's right. That's the intention. As the saying goes, she is a tiger girl." Master Huang nodded.
"Master Huang, can you see the origin of this totem?" Zuo Chenye asked doubtfully.
Master Huang shook his head, "I have never seen such a strange totem."
Zuo Chenye couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even Master Huang didn't know the origin of this pendant. Who else could he ask?
"It's not like a cultural relic, but more like something left by a certain family, as a kind of inheritance, passed down from generation to generation." Master Huang analyzed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't solve the mystery. Mr. Zuo, this pendant, again
Give me a day and I will help you clean it all, restore the missing parts of the totem and fill it in with color, what do you think?"
"Okay. Can you customize another pendant for me, using this totem, but the shape of the pendant is different. The shape of the pendant is an ordinary square card. The material is also made of silver." Zuo Chenye asked.
"This is simple. I will use the computer to engrave the pattern and give it to you tomorrow night." Master Huang responded.
"Thanks."
Zuo Chenye straightened up at night, while Xu Anning hurriedly picked up her bag. It was finally time to leave. She spent the whole day here today and didn't do anything else.
When Zuo Chenye was about to walk out of Sanwentang.
Master Huang suddenly chased him out of the studio.
"Young Master Zuo, please wait a moment."
At that time, the sky was dim.
The setting sun has been replaced by haze. In the quaint courtyard, a little light from the lantern lights up dimly, as if we are in the ancient times.
Zuo Chenye slowly turned around.
Master Huang walked to the door, "I suddenly remembered, does Mr. Zuo know the Xia family, the warlord in the capital? The country of L has a long history and has been passed down to this day. Only the ancestors of the Xia family have been generals for generations, male and female generals, and now they are in charge of more than a hundred warlords.
Nian, asking the Xia family may be able to clear up Zuo Shao's doubts."
"Xia family?"
Zuo Chenye's tall body froze, and his handsome face was stunned.
