"Yes, that's the key." Ning Xiaofan's face showed a hint of surprise.
After taking the key, Ning Xiaofan found a piece of cloth and wiped the rust marks on the key directly. After wiping, although it was still very rusty, it was relatively better.
"Brother Fan, I'm very surprised, how do you know there is a key there?" Jin said.
Tang Jiaojiao also said: "Yes, I didn't know how to open the box just now. In the blink of an eye, I saw the key in such a hidden place on the roof. This is too mysterious. Could it be that you can see through it?"
Ning Xiaofan knew that she was joking, and he definitely couldn't tell anything that he could really see through, so he said: "Well, I have lived in this old house for so many years, and I have a very deep understanding of it.
It’s emotional, so the feeling is very accurate.”
"Cow!" The two people immediately gave a thumbs up.
Ning Xiaofan smiled, picked up the key and quickly inserted it into the eight-treasure lock of the box. It was difficult to insert at first, but after finally inserting it, after a few clicks and clicks, the lock actually worked.
Ning Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and really opened the lock!
Ning Xiaofan felt anxious. He was really not sure what was in the box. His father said it was a bronze tripod. What kind of bronze tripod could be packed in such a small box?
When the box was opened, a pure blue light immediately emerged from inside, which was very rich. This kind of blue light could only be seen by Ning Xiaofan's eyes, and could not be seen by other mortal eyes.
The Qinglong Cauldron is indeed a cauldron inside.
It's just that the shape is too small, more like a wine cup made of bronze, but it's a hundred times more exquisite than the wine cup. It's the shape of a serious bronze tripod. Even though it's extremely small, the patterns and patterns engraved on it are
Extraordinarily delicate.
"Wow, this is an antique. It's so exquisite and well-preserved. I feel it must be worth a lot of money, especially if it's from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Tang Jiaojiao exclaimed, it was the first time she saw such an ancient thing. People said that most bronzes were from around the Western Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that the bronze tripod in front of her was also from the Western Zhou Dynasty? If it was from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it would be worth a lot of money!
"I feel like it's from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but I don't know anything about bronzes. Brother Fan, where do you think this is from?" Jin asked.
Ning Xiaofan did not answer directly, but fixed his eyes tightly on the Qinglong Cauldron, his eyes concentrated, and soon a strange illusion appeared in front of him again...
Late nineties!
A group of top figures in the antiques industry are refining a bronze vessel. A huge bronze tripod, which is one meter high, is being recast into a tiny handicraft that can be held with only one palm. The lines on it are,
All the patterns are taken from the hands of the most famous contemporary sculptor Yang Feng. This bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty was reconstructed and is the Qinglong tripod in front of you!
Yang Feng carved nine lifelike giant dragons on this tiny Green Dragon Cauldron. Because the Green Dragon Cauldron is so small, every line he carved was very delicate. It took three months to complete the casting of this Green Dragon Cauldron.
.
Then, his grandfather Ning Shan actually appeared on the screen, and he took over the Azure Dragon Cauldron...
Could it be that this was made by Yang Feng that grandpa Ningshan found? Why did grandpa use a bronze cauldron from the Western Zhou Dynasty to recreate such a tiny Qinglong cauldron? Why did dad tell me to come and pick up this Qinglong cauldron in person?
I have never heard of this Qinglong Cauldron from my family. I have been in and out of this yard for ten or twenty years, but I don’t know that there is a Qinglong Cauldron buried underneath. What secrets are hidden behind it that I don’t know yet?
Ning Xiaofan felt that this Qinglong Cauldron was covered in mist!
"This is not a bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is... a handicraft made today." Ning Xiaofan replied meaningfully.
"Crafts?"
Tang Jiaojiao and Jin looked at each other.
"Yes, this is a handicraft." Ning Xiaofan answered affirmatively.
Tang Jiaojiao thought it was Ning Xiaofan who was hiding it on purpose. After all, it looked like something that would never be imitated now. It looked very old. She estimated that it was probably Ning Xiaofan. She didn't want to say who it was from.
Even if you want to hide a family heirloom, this is an antique.
But Jin trusted Ning Xiaofan very much.
After Ning Xiaofan put the Qinglong Cauldron away, he called his father.
"Dad, I've got the Azure Dragon Cauldron. Do I need to mail it to you now?"
"No, don't mail it. You must keep it well after you get it. This Qinglong Cauldron is very important to you and must not be lost! Did you know?" Ning Haiping said excitedly.
"Dad, what is the significance of this tripod? Why do you value it so much? I know it is not an antique, it is just a modern handicraft. If I am not mistaken, it was made by the sculptor Yang Feng. I always feel that there is something behind this Qinglong tripod.
There are many secrets hidden that I don’t know." Ning Xiaofan said quickly.
"How do you know it was written by Yang Feng?"
Ning Haiping was very surprised, "Did other people tell you? Or did others also see this thing?"
"Two people I know dug it out with me, but they didn't know it. It was my guess."
"Guess? Is it so accurate? Are those two people reliable?" Ning Haiping said.
"Don't worry, it's okay. I really want to know the secret of this Azure Dragon Cauldron! Dad, tell me!" Ning Xiaofan knew that if he wanted to know what was hidden behind the Azure Dragon Cauldron, he had to ask his dad.
Ning Haiping let out a long sigh, thought for a while and said, "Come to Magic City. After you come to Magic City, I will tell you everything and introduce you to our Ning family."
Magic City.
Ning family.
These are the words that have been hidden behind Ning Xiaofan for many years. They also represent the existence of many secrets! Perhaps only in the Demon City can one know the secret of the Azure Dragon Cauldron, and only in the Demon City can one know why he was raised poor.
For more than ten years, it was only in the magical city that I realized how much wealth my family had!
"Okay. But I need to be late for a few days because I have something to do at home." Ning Xiaofan replied.
"What? What's the matter?" Ning Haiping said cautiously. The Qinglong Cauldron was his biggest concern right now. It was related to whether his son could participate in the Ning family's children's competition.
"The old house is going to be demolished. Fortunately, I came back in time today, otherwise our old house and Aunt He's house would have been violently demolished." Ning Xiaofan said quickly.
"Ah, there is such a thing? You are just a student yourself, can you handle it in the face of violent demolition? If it doesn't work, just demolish the old house. Anyway, it is a small county town and it doesn't have much money. If it hadn't been for
Who would move to that shabby county town if I have to support you so hard? Come directly to the devil's capital, I don't want that old house anymore."
Ning Haiping was worried about something unexpected happening, lest he lose his watermelon because of a sesame seed. An old house was just a drop in the bucket for his family. (To be continued)
