As before, Xiao Ran carefully wiped off the dust on the bronze cup and prepared for the next step of identification.
However, this bronze cup is covered with green patina, covering most of the patterns on the cup body.
Most of the only two inscriptions on the outer side were covered, leaving only a small half that could barely be seen clearly.
The shape of this bronze cup can also be roughly seen clearly.
This result gave everyone in the live broadcast room a headache.
Even those bronze appraisal experts couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
After wiping off the dust, Xiao Ran approached the niche and began to carefully observe the rusty bronze cup.
While appreciating the appraisal, he was also introducing the situation to everyone.
"The bronze cup you are seeing now, judging from its shape, should be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has an inscription. It is obviously a very precious antique cultural relic."
"But it is a pity that the patterns and inscriptions on the surface of this bronze cup are basically covered by patina. It is difficult to determine its exact origin and what the two inscriptions are."
"In addition, most of the patina on this bronze cup should have been formed after being placed here, floating on the surface, rather than being buried underground for thousands of years."
"Judging from this point, this bronze cup should have been unearthed long before it fell into Lu Qinzhai's hands, and it had been played with for a long time and had already formed patina!"
"It turns out that the patina formed by being buried underground for thousands of years has long been rubbed away by people playing handball."
"It turned out that this treasure was hidden here again by Lu Qinzhai, and a lot of patina developed again. Fortunately, it didn't take long, and all the patina floated to the surface and could be easily cleaned off."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly let out a sigh and fell into silence.
After thinking for a moment, he said excitedly:
"Mr. Shan, Mr. Jin, please help me take a look. Do the exposed parts of these two inscriptions look a bit like big seal script?"
"To be more precise, does it look a bit like the famous Shiguwen? I think it looks a bit like it!"
"If it is really a stone drum inscription, then we can basically determine the origin of this bronze cup and solve this mystery!"
Following his reminder, many appraisal experts in the live broadcast room suddenly became interested.
Not only them, but also tens of thousands of other fans.
Everyone took screenshots, enlarged the images, and looked for famous stone drum inscriptions online for comparison!
In just a moment, everyone has discovered something.
"It's true, Xiao Ran, the structure of these two inscriptions is indeed very similar to the Great Seal Script."
"To be precise, it is very similar to the seal script of the Qin Dynasty, but it is different from the seal script of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"The famous Stone Drum Inscriptions were written in the Qin Dynasty's Great Seal Script, which evolved from the Western Zhou Dynasty's Great Seal Script."
"By reasoning like this, we can be sure that this bronze cup comes from the Qin State, and was made before Qin unified the six kingdoms!"
Shan Lao said excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, several other identification experts also gave the same conclusion.
In particular, the conclusions of several top bronze appraisal experts are more authoritative.
The tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room were all amazed.
"I'll go! It's really eye-opening today that you can conduct appraisals like this! This is the splendid Chinese civilization, which has been passed down for thousands of years and will never be extinguished!"
"With just two parts of the inscriptions, two or three thousand years later, we can still quickly recognize the things made by our ancestors, establish contact with our ancestors, and get a glimpse of the glorious ancient history and civilization!"
"With such a long-lasting and ever-lasting historical and cultural heritage, which other nation in the world can achieve this? It's unique!"
While talking, Xiao Ran's voice came again.
"Old Shan, since you all agree that these two inscriptions are stone drum inscriptions, there is no doubt about it!"
"Based on these two inscriptions, it is enough to conclude that this bronze cup does come from the Qin Dynasty."
"Go one step further, one of the words engraved on the next step must be Qin, and that is the security code!"
"Next, I am going to verify this speculation, I hope it is correct."
As he spoke, he knelt down and began to wipe the dust and moss on the next step.
As the dust and moss on the steps were gently wiped away, several Chinese characters carved on the steps appeared one by one.
These four Chinese characters are Qi, Zhao, Chu and Qin, which are engraved on four square bricks.
Although we had already expected this result, when we actually saw it, everyone was still amazed and very excited!
Everyone participated in solving this riddle, and they all felt like they were actually there!
As a result, not only did I successfully solve the riddle, but I also learned some identification knowledge and the evolution of the seal script. Can you not be happy?
Next, Xiao Ran picked up the heavy police shield and began to verify his judgment.
No need to ask about the result!
When he stepped on the square brick with the word 'Qin' engraved on it, the square brick did not move at all, and no changes occurred!
This result immediately caused cheers in several live broadcast rooms.
Before the cheers could end, the next problem came.
Different from the previous steps, the trap appeared again two steps away. Immediately after the seventh step, a niche appeared again on the right wall of the eighth step.
In this niche, there is also an antique artifact.
This is a small and exquisite multi-colored hibiscus cup with bright colors and good condition. It is a very good piece of antique porcelain and is worth a lot of money!
The moment he saw this colorful hibiscus cup, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.
Not only him, the performance of many fans and appraisal experts in the live broadcast room was also similar. Everyone was instantly attracted by this exquisite multi-colored hibiscus cup!
Next, Xiao Ran gently wiped off the dust on the surface of the colorful hibiscus cup, carefully appreciated and appraised it.
After a moment, he suddenly said in surprise:
"This colorful hibiscus cup is a bit interesting. It seems that old fox Lu Qinzhai is here again and is trying to trick people. It's really insidious!"
"At first glance, this multicolored hibiscus cup looks like multicolored porcelain from the Jiawan period of the Ming Dynasty. The colored porcelain from the Jiawan period of the Ming Dynasty is the most outstanding and has the highest value!"
"But if you look closely, this multicolored hibiscus cup looks like Kangxi Wucai, and it also looks a bit like Kangxi imitating multicolored porcelain from the Jiawan period of Ming Dynasty. It's hard to tell accurately."
"Kangxi liked the multicolored porcelain of the Jiawan period of the Ming Dynasty very much. He ordered many people to imitate it. It is also the highest level of imitation of the multicolored porcelain of the Jiawan period. There are almost no flaws!"
"Perhaps it is because this colorful hibiscus cup is difficult to identify that Lu Qinzhai placed this treasure here, posing an extremely difficult problem for the intruders."
"If anyone who breaks into this place mistakes this colorful hibiscus cup, they will face the tragic end of being shattered into pieces without even a chance to make a new choice..."
Hearing this, there was an exclamation of exclamation in several live broadcast rooms.
Immediately afterwards, several appraisal experts spoke out one after another:
"Xiao Ran, you are right. This multicolored hibiscus cup is very difficult to identify. Through high-definition screenshots, it is difficult to tell whether it is Kangxi Wucai or Jiawan Wucai."
"Obviously, Lu Qinzhai is trying to embarrass the newcomers. This big traitor has too many treasures in his hands and his thoughts are too vicious. He is trying to trick people without paying for their lives!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran started laughing.
"Hahaha, it's really like this, it's really a trick to kill people without paying for it!"
