Zhuang Sheng walked into a lounge with some despair. This was his place to rest, but he didn't come here to rest, because Li Yao was also there.
Zhou Zichen's performance in the first game was so incredible that it scared Zhuang Sheng, who was originally full of confidence. He no longer had confidence in himself. If he really competed with his true strength, he didn't know if he could win.
Zhou Zichen.
Therefore, he came to Li Yao and decided to listen to Li Yao and use some means.
Opening the door, Li Yao, who was originally in the audience, had arrived in the lounge at some point and was sitting on the sofa waiting.
………………
"You Ya, is there really no problem if we sneak in?" Ding Jie asked with a guilty conscience.
Ding Jie was still in her senior year of college, majoring in media. She finally found an internship opportunity and worked as an intern reporter with You Ya. Unexpectedly, on the first day, she was led by You Ya into the rest area at the back, trying to find someone.
Opportunity to interview Zhuang Sheng.
You Ya is much more experienced than Ding Jie: "Don't be afraid. If you want to be a reporter in the future, you have to learn a lot of tricks like this. There are some people you can't interview, like us today; some people don't want to be interviewed, like us.
For black-hearted workshops, you have to use some special methods to get close to them, but one thing you have to remember is that you cannot violate the bottom line of morality, professional ethics, or violate the bottom line of the law."
Ding Jie learned some professional knowledge in school, but did not teach them how to play these tricks: "Oh..., but we came in as an excuse to use the toilet, won't we be kicked out?"
Speaking of this, Youya was also a little helpless: "This is normal. Sometimes someone may threaten you, but there is nothing we can do about it. What is our responsibility? Report the real things, so we have the responsibility to understand the truth.
Don’t be nervous!”
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Zhuang Sheng's door. Youya straightened her clothes, cleared her throat, and was about to knock on the door, but she heard the voices of two people talking from inside.
"Master Zhuang, you should have listened to me earlier and used some methods so that you wouldn't lose to Zhou Zichen."
Zhuang Sheng's somewhat frustrated voice came: "I didn't expect that guy Zhou Zichen to be so powerful."
Youya quickly stopped knocking on the door, made a silent gesture to Ding Jie, then took out a professional recording pen and stuck it on the door.
Although Ding Jie was a little scared, her advantage was that she was obedient. She stood aside and looked around, fearing that someone was coming.
Youya continued to listen to the conversation inside.
"Master Zhuang, don't be discouraged. Aren't there still two games left? As long as we use some small tricks, no matter how powerful he is, he will still lose." Li Yao said proudly.
Zhuang Sheng felt resentful when he thought of Zhou Zichen: "Mr. Li, do you have a plan?"
Li Yao chuckled twice: "This competition is all arranged by me, and I also invited the judges. Isn't it easy to do some tricks?"
"In order to show the fairness of this competition, I specially invited Qin Yushu. Although he is a bit of a man of both sides, he is very upright when it comes to antiques and will not cheat. As long as he is here, no one in the antique circle will do anything.
I will suspect that there is an inside story in this competition."
"With him here, it's hard for us to do anything!" Zhuang Sheng also knew that Qin Yushu usually looked like a businessman, but when it came to antiques, he turned into a stubborn old man and would never help others cheat.
Li Yao was confident: "Aren't there nine other people? I don't dare to say that all nine people can understand it, but if you ask three or five people to help, there is still no problem."
"Even if there are only three or five people helping, the odds of winning have already begun to tilt."
"Then what should we do specifically?" Zhuang Sheng asked a little eagerly. Now he was taking advantage of the stage outside to remove all the antiques and arrange for the next competition. He didn't have much time to do ink here.
Li Yao said: "It's very simple. The second competition is to test your professional knowledge of antiques. That is to place thirty antiques on the field, cover them with cloth, and let you choose blindly. After you choose one, what will the other party say?
The answer to the origin of this antique is only three minutes, with each side choosing five times."
"Actually, there are many unpopular antiques. I will have six sets of less popular antiques placed in advance, and then tell you their locations. You only need to uncover five of them, and Zhou Zichen cannot answer them all. As for the others, all
They are all porcelain, pottery, coins, etc. that you are good at. Just in case, I will also send you those side information to make you invincible."
"What about the last game?" Zhuang Sheng was already full of confidence after hearing Li Yao's arrangement. As long as it was a category he was good at, he was still very confident in his professional knowledge.
"The last game is much simpler. There are one hundred antiques, choose three, compare the total value, I will arrange to enter three priceless ones, you can just choose those three!" Li Yao said.
Zhuang Sheng was immediately convinced. With such an arrangement, he couldn't beat Zhou Zichen, and he didn't have to live anymore: "Mr. Li is still thoughtful. When Mr. Li arranges it, just send a message directly to my mobile phone, and the time will be enough."
It’s almost time, I’m going out first.”
"Okay, victory is achieved!"
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Li’s support!”
"You're welcome! It's mutual!"
Youya, who had been eavesdropping, saw that Zhuang Sheng was about to come out, so she quickly pulled Ding Jie toward the exit and pressed save on the recorder.
Zhuang Sheng opened the door, and You Ya just walked to the exit, and there was no Yin Qi Zhuang Sheng paying attention.
………………
At the beginning of the second game, when Zhuang Sheng came out, the host immediately began to announce the rules of the competition in order to prevent reporters from asking questions that were illiterate, and then announced the start of the game.
"You are the junior, you come first!" After Zhuang Sheng talked with Li Yao, he was convinced that the master's demeanor was back.
Zhou Zichen said with a smile: "You lost last time, so let me get better first, so as not to say that I bullied you!"
Zhuang Sheng was so angry at Zhou Zichen's words that he almost vomited blood and sneered: "Okay, this time I will let you know what is a real master and what is the true cultural connotation!"
Zhuang Sheng walked around among the thirty shelves as he spoke. He had already received the information that all six antiques were the most unpopular antiques. If he hadn't studied these things professionally, he might not have known it.
Zhuang Sheng seemed to lift a piece of cloth casually: "Please tell me the origin of this thing!"
Zhuang Sheng untied the red cloth, revealing the glass cover inside. Under the glass cover was a spearhead, which was a weapon.
In fact, in China, there are not many people who collect weapons. The most popular ones are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade. Only a few people who like weapons collect these things, or only professional archaeologists study them.
Zhou Zichen walked to the display stand and took a look. The spearhead was a bronze spearhead, about thirty centimeters long. The spear body was about nineteen centimeters long. It had four protruding sharp ridges and words were engraved on it.
The two blades of the spear are about three to four inches wide, and the butt is about twelve centimeters, with a Kui dragon pattern engraved on it.
Zhuang Sheng looked at the time and sneered: "Can't you recognize it? Then admit defeat!"
In this kind of competition, Zhou Zichen's superpowers are completely useless, so it's time to test his true antique strength.
Fortunately, Zhou Zichen is still very diligent. Since he developed the ability of photographic memory, he has read a lot of books and information about antiques.
Zhou Zichen picked up the microphone and said: "This spear should have been produced around the Qin Dynasty. It is called Kuilong Pattern Green Dragon Spearhead. Let's first look at the writing on this spear. It is the writing of that time. More importantly, it is similar to the long spearhead in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
The spear is actually very similar. It is a standard weapon. If anyone has carefully read the research report on Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, then compare the above information with this spear, and it will be easy to draw a conclusion."
Qin Yushu announced that Zhou Zichen's words were accurate, and the audience burst into applause.
Zhuang Sheng thought it was Zhou Zichen's good luck. He happened to read reports on this aspect and even remembered the part about weapons. Although he was a little unconvinced, he had to admit it.
Zhou Zichen turned on his eyesight and looked through all the antiques. He found that most of them were antiques from Zhuang Sheng's professional field, and only six of them were very special.
Seeing all this, Zhou Zichen immediately understood that Zhuang Sheng had used some means to set a trap for himself. It seemed that this time he could answer no matter which piece he uncovered, and he casually uncovered one.
The biased person got the microphone and said: "Zhuang Sheng, you are really unscrupulous. I originally thought that your attitude towards antiques was very upright, but I didn't expect that you would be tampering with me in the competition."
Zhuang Sheng saw that Zhou Zichen had seen through it, but was afraid that Zhou Zichen would set a trap for him, so he said something ambiguous: "Each one depends on his strength."
Zhou Zichen didn't say anything more. Zhuang Sheng had already prepared. It seemed that for the next competition, he had to find a way to catch him. As for this competition, Zhou Zichen had nothing to worry about. Even if there were six
He also knows the origins of unpopular antiques. This is the advantage of reading more books.
What Zhou Zichen unveiled was a tapestry painting. This thing is also a very unpopular thing. There are not many people who collect it. Although Zhuang Sheng knows a little about it, he does not study it thoroughly. If it weren't for Li
Yao gave the information in advance, but he really couldn't answer it, but now he just needs to memorize it according to the information.
After Zhuang Sheng finished his answer, it was naturally accurate and he said proudly: "Then it depends on your second item."
Zhuang Sheng once again uncovered a piece of cloth, and inside was a tile. This was a very special surprise, and not many people would pick up a tile.
Zhou Zichen had already seen this tile with clairvoyance and directly told the origin of this tile: "This is a tile from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Three Kingdoms, Buddhism began to enter our country. At first, it was still in the Western Regions, and later it gradually spread
Enter the Central Plains."
"Buddhism has also had a profound influence on our country. The lotus is a relatively representative flower of Buddhism. It can be found on many buildings and statues related to Buddhism. Because of the influence of Buddhism, after the Three Kingdoms, tiles with lotus patterns began to appear.
Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties."
"After the Song Dynasty, the tile pattern changed. The name of the person who made the tile began to be carved on the tile, which is also called 'tile cut character'. After the Song Dynasty, the tile pattern changed even more. Therefore, this kind of tile was most popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The tiles of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are different from those of the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The lotus patterns on them are relatively generous, and some have auspicious words on them, mostly in regular script and official script. This tile fits these characteristics very well."
After Zhou Zichen finished speaking, there was another round of applause and cheers.
Cheng Ye sat in front and shouted excitedly: "Zichen, you are so awesome, you can even recognize the tiles."
