Returning to the exhibition hall, because the afternoon appraisal had not yet begun, Liu Dong found a place to sit down. After contemplating for a while, he called over a bodyguard who was following him, and after giving him an explanation, he sent him away.
Already.
The reason why he brought bodyguards with him on this trip was not because he really needed protection, but because he wanted to have someone around him who could help him when he needed help. Just like in this situation, there is someone who can be trusted.
By his side, he can solve many things that are inconvenient for him to come forward.
Needless to say, the appraisal in the afternoon was uneventful. Although there were some real things, there was nothing outstanding among them. Therefore, Liu Dong did not do much in the middle.
After declining the dinner party of some so-called 'leaders' in the evening, Liu Dong returned to the hotel where he was staying as scheduled.
"Dear, are you back?"
"Well! Did you go shopping today?" Liu Dong smiled and asked, looking at the shopping bags placed on the sofa.
"Yes! There are many delicious snacks here, and what do you think of this cheongsam?"
With that said, Helen took out a high-slit cheongsam with a light color and a "blue and white porcelain" style from the shopping bag, and started gesturing on herself.
"It's very good, but except in front of me, don't wear this in front of other men, otherwise I will be jealous!" After saying that, after kissing the tip of Helen's nose affectionately, Liu Dong unbuttoned his shirt.
, sat down on the sofa.
Seeing this, Helen smiled sweetly, with a charming look on her pretty face, and with her smooth and jade-like feet, she took a few steps forward and sat in her lover's arms. She put her arms around her lover's neck, and then raised her cheeks.
Xia Hong, with watery brows and eyes, said affectionately: "Then do you want me to put it on now and show it to you?"
"Okay! But you have to bear the consequences!" He would never refuse a delicious meal delivered to his door.
Feeling the hot hardness under her buttocks, Helen blushed. "I'm going to prepare dinner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Helen jumped out of Liu Dong's arms lightly, then turned and left happily.
Seeing the beauty disappearing into the kitchen like a butterfly through flowers, with the unique fragrance of Chanel and a laughter like silver bells, Liu Dong smiled with satisfaction and then turned his attention to the password box on the table in the living room.
First, he picked up the note on the box and read the message on it. Then Liu Dong opened the stainless steel lock on the side of the box. After opening it carefully, he found seven jade pieces of different sizes and about one finger thick on the red velvet cushion.
The board appears in front of you.
The largest of these seven jade slabs is as big as an adult's palm, and the smallest is as big as an egg; and most of the edges are sharp but not too rounded, and the fractures are very new, they should have been broken recently!
However, contrary to the freshness of the fracture, these seven jade slabs all have a very obvious green color, among which earthy brown and red soil Qin are the most common. Occasionally, there is also white water Qin!
Judging from the depth and breadth of the color entering the jade material, these jade slabs have been isolated from the world for a long time! At least they should be from BC.
In addition, there are scattered hieroglyphs on the surface of these seven jade plates, which at the same time appear to be very neat and abstract. More importantly, I have a photographic memory of these characters, or patterns, and am proficient in ancient Chinese characters of all ages.
Liu Dong actually didn't know any of them, and he had never seen them before.
Of course, the more this happened, the more he understood the value of these seven jade tablets.
Among all ancient works of art, the most valuable are not those made of gold, silver, or pearls and jade, but those precious works of art with text that can help people interpret ancient civilizations! For example, the Dunhuang suicide note and the Dead Sea
book.
"This... is really good stuff!"
After a long period of identification with no results, Liu Dong couldn't help but use the relic Yuanguang. As a result, the rich purple aura rising from the seven jade slabs directly shocked Liu Dong who was unprepared.
Liu Dong, who has long been aware of the different appraisal results represented by the various auras of the relics, knows very well that the purple aura usually appears on antiques, which means that the antiques being appraised are at least three thousand years old.
Moreover, these jade slabs are not only rich in spiritual light, but also float above six feet, which means that they have a minimum existence time of more than 3,600 years.
Three thousand six hundred years ago, it happened to be the beginning of the existence of the Xia Dynasty, the first century dynasty in China.
In the 21st century BC, 'Yu' was passed down to Zi 'Qi', which changed the 'concession system' of primitive tribes and created a precedent for nearly four thousand years of hereditary inheritance in China. The "family world" in Chinese history began with the Xia Dynasty.
The establishment of the Xia Dynasty began, and the glorious history of Chinese civilization also began. Therefore, the Xia Dynasty can also be regarded as the source of Chinese civilization.
However, although there are many records about the Xia Dynasty in traditional Chinese literature, because they were all written relatively late, there is no recognized direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty. For example, the writings of the same period of the Xia Dynasty serve as self-evidence. Therefore,
Some people in modern history circles have always questioned the authenticity of the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
Just like foreign historians, they have always believed that China's Xia Dynasty, just like ancient Greek myths and legends, did not really exist. Moreover, the beginning of Chinese history recognized by many world-famous historical books is generally the Shang Dynasty
.For example, this is the case with the "General History of the World" by the famous American historian Stavrianos!
This result makes many Chinese historians and even many Chinese people who understand history feel very angry. To deny the history of a country is to deny a country. But we really don’t have much to do with this kind of thing other than breaking our teeth and swallowing it in our stomachs.
There are many ways. Because, there is indeed no direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty in China, especially written evidence!
It’s as if the ancient Chinese civilization before the Shang Dynasty, especially the civilization that existed in the Xia Dynasty, disappeared out of thin air!
"If the writing on these jade tablets is really the writing of the Xia Dynasty, then...!"
Thinking of this possibility, even with Liu Dong's stable and steady mind, his breathing could not help but become a little heavier.
After quickly calming down, Liu Dong began to piece together these jade plates, only to find that they were not a complete piece. Only one of the seven jade plates could be put back together according to the fracture marks, and the remaining four jade plates could not be put back together.
Put together.
Obviously, the remaining four jade slabs were broken from other jade slabs.
"There must be more jade plates like this!"
Looking at the broken jade plate, Liu Dong thought excitedly and expectantly.
After staring at these jade plates for a while, Liu Dong thought of something and quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket. After a few simple presses, he connected.
"Boss, I put the things on the table in your room...!"
"I know, I saw the stuff. Shen Ning, you did a good job!" Liu Dong congratulated.
"Thank you boss for the compliment!"
"Well, I have another task for you!"
"Boss, tell me!"
"It's very simple. You just keep an eye on the owner of that stall these days, and then buy me all the jade plates with patterns from him, and find out his address by the way! If possible, please The origin of these jade plates is also clear!”
"Yes, boss, don't worry if you leave this matter to me!"
"Well! I will ask the Finance Department to allocate 500,000 yuan to you specifically for this matter!" Liu Dong said.
"Boss, we don't need so much!"
"I know you won't need so much, and the extra will be your reward for your work this time!"
"thank you boss!"
"There's no need to say too many polite words. Just do your best to get things done. Also, remember to hide your identity and don't attract too many people's attention. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Remember to notify me as soon as you have any news!"
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dong looked at the only complete jade plate in the password box, which was 20 centimeters long, about 8 centimeters wide, and about 1 centimeter thick, as well as the abstract hieroglyphs on its surface with a fascinating beauty. I secretly prayed that there would be more jade tablets with words like this behind me.
If this is the case, its existence will bring earth-shaking changes to ancient Chinese history, many unknown historical mysteries will be solved by it, and the ancient history before the Shang Dynasty will be greatly compensated. Its influence is no less than the above The discovery of the 'Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Inscriptions' at the beginning of the century! And this impact is worldwide!
Thinking about this result, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
The excitement of making up for a piece of history with world influence is much stronger than the sense of accomplishment brought by discovering treasures. Therefore, Liu Dong is also particularly concerned about this matter.
In subsequent appraisals, no matter how precious the artwork appeared, it could no longer attract Liu Dong's attention as before. He put more energy into the jade slabs that Shen Ning brought back every day. Especially the jade slabs. The hieroglyphics have a fatal attraction for Liu Dong.
In addition to accompanying Helen every day, he spent a lot of time interpreting these hieroglyphics.
Thanks to the unique inheritance system of Chinese characters and the continuity of civilization, the hieroglyphs of ancient China are far different from the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient India that were broken due to the break of civilization. In modern times, they have become astonishing. Hard to understand.
Therefore, although the time was short, Liu Dong was proud of his photographic memory and memorized a large amount of oracle bone inscriptions, which allowed him to successfully analyze some of the meanings of the characters on these jade tablets.
The result was correct as he judged. The words on these jade tablets did come from the Xia Dynasty. Although the content of their descriptions was not continuous, judging from the occasional year numbers, it was definitely from the Xia Dynasty.
Such a result naturally made Liu Dong more interested in these Xia Dynasty characters, which he named "Jade Banner Inscriptions"!
Liu Dong was so interested in exploring secrets that after finishing the treasure appraisal program, he excused himself from the dinner party sponsored by the Zhengzhou Cultural Department on the pretext of being busy with the setup of Bogu.com, and even the three old men left. , he did not go to deliver it. Instead, after putting on makeup, he took Shen Ning to the antique market on Daxue Road, Zhengzhou.
