At that time, Fangzhou geological and mining experts went to the Jade Country in the name of a timber merchant. After traveling for more than half a year, they obtained a lot of first-hand top-secret information.
This piece of Jade Emperor was discovered during the investigation.
There, Fangzhou's seniors met a Chinese bloodline boss and helped him with three practical things.
In order to accomplish these three things, Fangzhou sacrificed six people.
Until now, this matter has not been declassified.
Before leaving, the local boss asked Fangzhou's seniors what they needed.
The senior who was the person in charge of Fangzhou Minerals Institute at that time pointed at the jadeite and said, "I want him."
When the Jade Emperor was brought back to Fangzhou, he would always be used as a geological specimen for research. Just over ten years later, the price of jadeite skyrocketed, and this stone became a family heirloom in Fangzhou.
The raw jade stone weighing eight and a half tons cannot be measured by money at all.
If we insist on a valuation, I would start conservatively at 300 million.
Nowadays, the jade market is even more popular than the antique market. If it were cut open for retail sale, the price would double.
However, this piece of jadeite emperor can never be sold.
Because he belongs to Fangzhou, China, and everyone in China.
What is ridiculous, sad and even more hateful is that Ma Goudan actually mortgaged the Jade Emperor to Dongfang Institute.
The price is only five million.
"Open it. Open it quickly."
"Hurry up……"
"Crowbar, crowbar!"
"If you don't have a crowbar, use your hands."
Following the urgent calls from Luo Sloppy, Bao Guoxing and others, Lao Dao and others worked together to break open the tattered wooden box at all costs.
At that moment, my eyes widened and I cursed loudly in my heart.
Hold!
Such a big dragon drum base! !
From Fangguo?
From Tengguo?
Luo Sulu and others were closest to me, and I could see them most clearly.
This is a disc-shaped heavy bronze vessel.
It looks like a big drum from a distance!
Now Gu is a younger brother in front of him. Read the book
The height of the object is just over fifty centimeters, and the diameter of the base is nearly one meter. The base is covered with a total of nine circles of circular lines.
On the drum surface, there are nine coiled dragons entangled and biting each other.
The dragon's head is in the form of a round sculpture, with a ring in its mouth, and its body is in high relief. The nine-headed giant dragon has incomplete eyes and looks extremely terrifying.
The nine-headed dragons have different shapes, with their heads raised or straight, their bodies entangled or curved, their tails upturned or hanging down. They are varied and complex, breathtaking and thrilling.
The dragon body and eighteen dragon horns are hollow but have roots.
In the middle of the drum base, there is a protruding hollow spiral cylinder.
This is where the drum posts are placed.
The drums used by ancient people were different from those of later generations. The drums used in the Spring and Autumn Period were Jiangu.
The so-called drum construction is to use a wooden pillar to support the drum, making it easier for the drummers to stand and beat.
"When building a drum, people of the Xia Dynasty added four legs, which is called a foot drum; people of the Yin Dynasty had pillars inserted through it, and it was called a Ying drum; people of the Zhou Dynasty hung it, and it was called a hanging drum. In modern times, they inherited it and planted it and penetrated it, which is called a drum drum. Gai Yin did it."
Many bronze drum bases have been unearthed in China, the most famous of which is the 108-headed dragon drum base from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. It can’t be reproduced so far!
There are twelve-headed and eighteen-headed dragons cast and welded on bronze drum bases unearthed in other places. However, in terms of size, the nine-headed dragon in front of you should be the first.
Moreover, the dragon on this bronze drum base has some eyes that are not blind.
I don’t mean to be blind, I just mean that these eyeballs are original.
This is unique among all bronze drum bases.
The bronze dragon eye beads are turquoise, more than two thousand years old turquoise.
Such a large bronze drum with original turquoise and such complete preservation is indeed the only one in China.
But none of this matters.
His place of origin is called Luo Sulu
The focus of many national scholars' exciting attention.
A housing country.
A Tengguo.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music collapsed beyond recognition. At that time, Emperor Zhou was just a dispensable Chihuahua. Except for the nine auspicious treasures and nine tripods whose surname is Ji, everyone else can only watch.
Sometimes, Emperor Zhou even had trouble eating.
The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period emerged one after another, and other vassal states also followed suit and became independent.
By the late Spring and Autumn Period, there were a total of 1,209 vassal states fighting each other on the land of China.
In those years, each vassal state not only had its own independent writing and measuring tools, but also its own unique culture, which resulted in different styles of bronzes.
This Kowloon Bronze Drum Base is the most typical representative.
Judging from the shape of the dragon, it looks a bit like something from Fangguo.
Fangguo is now a small county under Zhuma in Central Plains Province. The place where Nuwa patched up the sky in legend. The founder is a direct descendant of Huangdi. It was destroyed by Chu in 529 BC.
"Haha! Found it!"
"Here, here. Got it!"
"Teng!"
"Ji Teng!"
"it's him!"
"Marquis Tengguo. Bronze drum!"
It only took a group of China's highest-level masters less than five minutes to find the inscription on the bronze drum and determine the origin of the bronze drum.
Even Luo Sloppy and several of his countrymen were well-informed people, but they were also greatly stimulated at this moment.
This Kowloon bronze drum is a artifact of the Marquis Teng in the Spring and Autumn Period.
A proper first-class national treasure.
The reputation of Teng State among more than a thousand vassal states is not prominent, and there is not much information about it from later generations. It is located in Lu Province.
But they are the direct descendants of King Wen of Zhou. Mencius once visited the Marquis of Teng in person.
In 296 BC, the Teng Kingdom was destroyed by King Kang of Song Dynasty. The nobles of Teng State fled. Take Teng as the surname.
"Our National Museum wants this thing."
"What do you want from the National Museum? Have you asked the Hanlin Academy for its opinion?"
"Hey. This national treasure belongs to the Teng Kingdom. According to the principle of ownership of unowned items, this thing must be returned to the Qin Teng Kingdom. Our Lu Provincial Museum has to decide."
"Tch. Who do you think the Lu Provincial Museum is?"
"Don't argue. This thing was found in our Yandu and belongs to our Yandu Museum. If anyone dares to argue with us, we will fight him to the end."
