Doesn't this undoubtedly prove that there are problems with almost all the antiques on this ghost market? They were either robbed from ancient tombs or stolen from the homes of some collectors.
When he reached the end of the stall, Xiao Bai also discovered a stall selling antique oil paintings, some foreign goldware, and scepters.
What made Xiao Bai even more outrageous was that there were even two mummies on one stall, and there were quite a few buyers interested in these things.
I looked at my phone and saw that there was still no signal at the moment, but the time was still displayed normally.
Seeing that the time agreed upon by the four of them was approaching, Xiao Bai simply stopped looking and quickly headed to the agreed place.
When Xiao Bai arrived, he discovered that the other three people had already arrived.
"How is it? Xiao Xiao, do you feel anything?"
Seeing Xiao Bai coming, Sun Limin smiled and asked.
After hearing Sun Limin's words, Xiao Bai sighed softly.
"Well, the protection of cultural relics has a long way to go. Before I came here, I really didn't expect that the types of antiques in this ghost market would be so rich."
"And it seems that many items have been stolen and unearthed within two weeks. What's even more terrifying is that there are still buyers who dare to buy such things..."
Hearing that Xiao Bai was a little frustrated, Xu Weiming also sighed softly.
"Oh, yes, and behind the people who come to buy, many of them are working for some foreign forces. Many cultural relics leave this ghost market and are never seen again. When we see them again many years later, maybe they are Which private collector’s personal collection is on display abroad.”
Hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly.
Everyone can leave through the running line, not to mention some cultural relics.
"Let's go, Xiao Xiao, let's first go and see what the organizers of this ghost market have put out for auction today. What's on these stalls can only be regarded as small things, and some of what the organizers are auctioning are... They can all be considered national treasures.”
National treasure?
Upon hearing these two words, Xiao Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he followed Xu Weiming and Sun Limin to the other side of the display area for tonight's auction.
Stepping into this area, Xiao Bai was stunned by the first object he saw.
I just heard Xu Weiming say that there would be an auction of national treasure-level cultural relics here, but Xiao Bai didn't take it seriously yet.
But the tripod in front of him instantly shocked Xiao Bai.
Height is about 100 cm, diameter is about 80 cm,
It has erect ears, a round belly, and three legs. The ornamentation under the rim of the mouth is a Taotie pattern belt.
The three legs are decorated with animal face patterns and string patterns, making the entire bronze tripod look very majestic.
Next to the bronze tripod, a piece of pure white paper was printed with an inscription on the inner wall of the bronze tripod, which seemed to have two to three hundred words.
national treasure.
Xiao Bai made a judgment in his mind for a moment.
The face under the mask was full of bitterness.
He was unexpected that such a national treasure would be auctioned in this ghost market.
"Brother Xiao, come and take a look. All the items auctioned in this ghost market can be inspected and touched."
"Well, I originally just heard that there was an important artifact in the ghost market auction today. I thought it was another bronze artifact like the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be a bronze tripod."
After hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai walked forward blankly, put on the gloves prepared on the side, picked up the flashlight, and then bent down to look at the bronze tripod carefully.
Smelling the earthy smell emanating from the bronze cauldron, Xiao Bai used a flashlight to carefully observe the cauldron inside and out.
It's perfect. The shape, material, and rust color are all perfect.
It was so perfect that Xiao Bai had a feeling that such a perfect thing should not exist.
It was this thought that gave Xiao Bai a trace of doubt.
Is there really such a perfect newly unearthed bronze?
Thinking in his mind, Xiao Bai gently placed his hand on the bronze tripod.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no response from the system, Xiao Bai couldn't help but frown slightly.
what happened? Is it because I don’t have enough points that I can’t identify it?
Withdrawing his hand, Xiao Bai carefully looked at the bronze tripod several times again, but after looking for a long time, he could not see any flaws.
Xiao Bai put down the flashlight and sighed softly.
Judging from the text rubbings on the side, this large tripod should be from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The various decorations and shapes on the tripod's body are also perfectly in line with the special bronze tripods of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But Xiao Bai just had a feeling that something was wrong.
"Xiao Xiao, how are you? Is there something wrong with this bronze tripod?"
Hearing Xu Weiming speak when he came to his side, Xiao Bai shook his head gently: "I can't tell, I just think it's too perfect."
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xu Weiming's eyes flashed.
"Let's go and look at the other objects. This bronze tripod should be the big one being auctioned in the ghost market today."
"Oh, I really don't know where these cultural relic dealers got such a huge bronze tripod."
Hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai nodded.
Then continue walking inside to look at tonight's other lots.
Sure enough, just as Xu Wei Ming said, the stalls outside were all just quarreling.
Almost every item auctioned by the organizers of this ghost market is of high quality.
As he walked, Xiao Bai couldn't help but stop in front of a gilt silver wine glass with mandarin duck pattern.
Looking at this exquisitely crafted Warring States wine glass, Xiao Bai sighed again.
I don’t know which Warring States tomb suffered the disaster.
Gently picking it up with his hand, Xiao Bai carefully looked at the internal decoration of this gilt silver wine glass.
【Ding. 】
[Insufficient cultural preservation points make detailed identification impossible. 】
Hearing these words, Xiao Bai was suddenly stunned.
What does it mean?
Does this mean that if something is real, the system will issue a reminder regardless of whether he has enough points?
So that three-legged bronze tripod before was a fake?
It shouldn't be. No matter from any detail, the three-legged bronze tripod really cannot be real anymore.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai remembered the Ming Xuande furnace he had seen in She County before.
That stove was really no longer real, but the system also gave no prompts. Later, after careful inspection, I found that it was a counterfeit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai recalled what the old man said when he helped the police catch the group of tomb robbers in Liulichang.
Recently, some people in the circle have purchased bronzes and other bronze wares at high prices.
so……
Is that three-legged bronze tripod also fake?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai no longer wanted to look at the gilt silver wine glass in his hand.
He couldn't wait to confirm his suspicion again.
After a few steps, he walked to an eight-sided gold cup with a slightly chipped rim. Xiao Bai held up the gold cup, which weighed nearly 400 grams, with both hands.
After a while.
【Ding. 】
[Insufficient cultural preservation points make detailed identification impossible. 】
Listening to this familiar voice, Xiao Bai was finally sure.
There is something wrong with that perfect three-legged bronze tripod!
