Although it sounded like he was complaining, Mr. Jin's tone was very exciting.
After hearing his words, all the fans in the two live broadcast rooms immediately understood.
This is good news!
There is no doubt that the fish intestine sword and "Lanting Collection Preface" contained in those two boxes are definitely top-notch antiques, and at least one of them is a national treasure.
The possibility that both pieces are national treasures seems to be higher.
Thinking of this, everyone was very excited.
The facts are as expected!
The next moment, Mr. Jin's trembling voice came again with excitement.
"Let's first talk about the fragments of stone tablets engraved with "The Preface to the Lanting Collection". They are undoubtedly national treasures and very precious."
"From last night to today, all epigraphy experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, as well as experts in calligraphy and painting appraisals, are studying these fragments of stone tablets."
"After everyone's analysis and research, it is basically certain that these fragments of stone tablets are one of the eight pillars of Lanting and the original fragments of Dingwu Ben."
Hearing this, the live broadcast room immediately became excited.
"Wow! It's actually a fragment of the stone tablet from Dingwu Ben. It's a priceless treasure!"
"I crammed in some knowledge about the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" today. It is said that the Dingwu version is the most precious version among the Eight Pillars of Lanting!"
"It turned out to be my fault," he said excitedly.
“It’s so awesome, it’s actually another heavyweight national treasure!”
"The value of these fragments of stone tablets is probably not lower than that of Song Huizong's three collection seals!"
After the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, he continued to speak, his words full of envy.
Xiao Ran also had a look of surprise on his face, which was of course a show.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your hard work!"
"When I return to Beijing another day, I will definitely come and say thank you!"
Mr. Jin immediately replied with a smile:
"There is no need to thank us, but we should thank you, kid, for opening our eyes!"
"The more good things like this, the better. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it!"
After a few polite words, the old man continued his previous conversation.
"The Dingwu version of "The Preface to the Lanting Collection" is a copy of Ouyang Xun, a great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. It was engraved on a stone tablet during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty."
"Because this stone tablet inscribed with "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was found in Dingwu, Hebei Province, it is called the Dingwu version of "Preface to the Lanting Collection"
"Unfortunately, this stone tablet only existed for a very short time and disappeared soon, so the Dingwu version has become the most precious version of "The Preface to the Lanting Anthology""
"But who would have thought that the fragments of the original stele of Dingwuben are still in the world and fell into the hands of your boy. What a major discovery!"
Next, the old man briefly introduced the general situation of Dingwu's "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
Including the outstanding features of this version, similarities and differences with other versions, etc.
Near the end, he said emotionally:
"The Preface to the Lanting Collection is known as the best running script in the world and the most dazzling masterpiece in the history of Chinese calligraphy."
"Among all the existing rubbings of "Lanting Collection Preface", the Dingwu version is the most precious one."
"Then there is no doubt that these fragments of stone tablets from Dingwu's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" are all national treasures and first-class cultural relics!"
"This is one of the supreme treasures of Chinese national culture. No matter what, we must bring them back to the country and pass them on from generation to generation!"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and responded decisively.
"Of course, you can rest assured that I will definitely try my best to bring these national treasures back to the country."
“If I set up a private museum in the future, this will be one of the museum’s treasures!”
"At that time, all Chinese people can go to my museum to admire this priceless treasure and appreciate the beauty of the world's best running script face to face!"
Following his words, a roar of applause immediately erupted in the two live broadcast rooms.
Collectors and appraisal experts who had originally harbored thoughts about these fragments of stone tablets had no choice but to give up all their unrealistic illusions after hearing his words.
They knew very well that Xiao Ran would never sell these fragments of stone tablets, but planned to keep them for himself.
This was reasonable and did not surprise them.
Anyone else would have made the same decision. Who would be willing to give up such a priceless treasure?
After introducing a few fragments of the stone tablet, Mr. Jin began to introduce the fish intestine sword again.
"Xiao Ran, the condition of the dagger in your hand is indeed very similar to the fish intestine sword recorded in history books."
"The two bird seals engraved on the sword are indeed the characters for fish intestines. Their shape and the fish scale pattern on the sword are also consistent with the legend!"
"Judging from these characteristics, this ancient short sword seems to be the fish intestine sword used by famous assassins in ancient legends to assassinate King Liao of Wu."
Before he finished speaking, the pot was boiling again in the two live broadcast rooms.
"I'll go! Could it be that the Fish Intestine Sword is not just a legendary magical weapon, but a real sword?"
"If this is the case, the value of the Yuchang Sword will probably not be lower than that of the Yue King Goujian Sword, right?"
Kodong Tiger exclaimed.
"Since the legendary Fish Intestine Sword really exists, do the Xuanyuan Sword and Chixiao Sword, the top ten famous swords in ancient China, also really exist?"
"If all these legendary swords existed, that would be awesome!"
Xiuwu Qingfeng continued.
Hearing these comments, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he put on his gloves, then opened the huanghuali box on the right, and carefully took out the fish intestine sword inside.
This is a short sword that is only about thirty centimeters long. It looks more like a dagger than a short sword.
There are countless fish scale-like patterns densely distributed on the sword body, which looks extremely beautiful.
The sword body is long, narrow and sharp, which is very good for assassination. The blade is shining with cold light and is extremely sharp.
And at the intersection of the hilt and the sword body, there are two small bird seals engraved on it, which are exactly the word "fish intestines"!
Looking at this simple dagger, Xiao Ran's eyes shone brightly.
No one knows better than him whether this is the legendary fish intestine sword.
Just from the beautiful colors and light emitting from the dagger, he was 100% sure.
This is the legendary assassin's sword that was forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi and used to assassinate King Liao of Wu. It is also the most courageous sword, the Fish Intestine Sword.
Not only did it really exist, it also fell into my own hands.
Thousands of years have passed, and this legendary sword of bravery still shines with cold light, is razor-sharp, still blows hair and breaks hair, and cuts iron like mud.
Not a trace of rust can be seen on this famous sword.
It is well preserved, no worse than the famous Yue King Gou Jian's sword.
When this fish intestine sword was shown last night, it instantly shocked everyone in the two live broadcast rooms.
Its sharpness, as well as its unique and cruel characteristics, make many people feel horrified.
Especially the fish scale-like patterns on the sword that looked beautiful but were actually extremely sinister made everyone shudder!
But some people have raised doubts about the authenticity of this dagger.
In their opinion, if this was really the legendary fish intestine sword, how could it have gone through two to three thousand years without a trace of rust?
Xiao Ran did not respond to these questions, but chose to hide his stupidity.
In fact, he didn't need to respond. He didn't intend to sell this peerless sword anyway.
Seeing Xiao Ran take out this fish intestine sword, the live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was still shocked.
At this moment, Jin Lao's voice came out again.
"Regarding this fish intestine sword, we all agree that we cannot give a firm conclusion yet. We must personally identify it to make an accurate judgment."
"Although this fish intestine sword is a bronze sword, it seems to be mixed with some other metals. It is very special. It is best to use a machine to analyze it."
"All these subsequent appraisals can only be done after the fish intestine sword is shipped to China. We are very much looking forward to it!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.
"Of course it's no problem, Mr. Jin. In a few days, I will find a way to send this fish intestine sword back to the country."
"I will trouble you to make a careful identification and give an accurate identification conclusion."
With that said, he put away the fish intestine sword and put it back into the huanghuali box.
After he closed the box, Mr. Jin responded:
"That's perfect. We're waiting for you to transport this treasure back to the country!"
After chatting about Fish Intestine Sword for a while, Xiao Ran got to the main topic of the evening.
"Okay, tonight's auction officially begins, and then it depends on everyone's performance."
"The first treasure to be auctioned tonight is the Wanli blue and white vat placed in the Songshizhai vault!"
"Everyone must know the authenticity of this large blue and white vat, and I can vouch for it."
"In other words, no matter who takes the photo of this blue and white vat, if you have any doubts, you can return it at any time!"
"But one thing I have to say is that no matter who takes the photo of this big blue and white vat, it's best to find a way to get this treasure back to China."
"This baby is too big and heavy to transport!..."
As soon as he said this, the big dog suddenly joked and said:
"Xiao Ran, you came up with such a trick that can be returned at any time, are you plotting against everyone?"
"The purpose is to let the buyer who took the photo of this treasure transport it back to the country, and then you can take it back, saving you the trouble of transporting it yourself."
Before he finished speaking, there was an immediate response.
Xiao Ran nodded, and then said jokingly:
"Yes, I really think so. To be honest, I am really reluctant to sell this treasure!"
"Let's not talk about this for now, the private message bidding has started, everyone can bid!"
"Reminder, this treasure has an auction reserve price!"
"Tch! Profiteer!"
There was a lot of complaints and bursts of laughter in the live broadcast room.
