In the past, no matter what valuable treasures Li Mo found, he always had a smile on his face. But this time when faced with this sword that was suspected to be the legendary first sword of the Qing Dynasty, his expression turned out to be serious.
"Brother, what kind of sword is this?"
"The most beloved treasure of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the Nine-Dragon Sword."
At the end, Li Mo said every word.
"Emperor Qianlong reigned for sixty years and became the Supreme Emperor for another four years. He was rich all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the largest collector in history. After his death, the only things he was buried with were the world-famous string around his neck. Apart from the unparalleled Chaozhu, there is only this Nine-Dragon Sword." Li Mo put the sword back into the golden nanmu sword box, "Grandpa, I will contact several experts now to find out whether this sword is the legendary Nine-Dragon Sword or not. It needs more detailed and rigorous identification and research. I will sleep here at night. Auntie, please make me a big bowl of noodles, I'm still hungry."
After saying that, he hugged the sword box and went into the study to contact the major experts.
"Daughter-in-law, is that Nine Dragons Sword very precious?"
Professor Yu asked softly.
"Mom, I really don't know how much it's worth, but even if you add up all the antiques in Gu Yunxuan Hall No. 1, they may not be as expensive as it. Haven't you seen the solemn expression on Xiao Mo's face? That sword is really confirmed If it were the first sword of the Qing Dynasty, the Nine Dragons Sword, the sensation it would cause would probably not be less influential than the birth of the Heshi Bi. However, I think Xiao Mo himself is even more legendary than the Nine Dragons Sword. He's only been back for a long time, and he's already making such a big fuss, but this will make it more lively."
"What I'm saying is that the more this kid works, the greater his achievements will be."
"Mom and Dad, many people have come to me in the past few days, and they are all eyeing the position of director of Gu Yunxuan Museum. I can make any decision, but they don't believe it. Yali is also working hard to select suitable candidates. Candidate, but in the end it still depends on Xiao Mo’s decision. I won’t say any more, I’ll go make noodles for Xiao Mo first.”
Li Mo contacted eight people in the room, all of whom he was familiar with. Experts from Beijing University and Qingdao University, experts from the Palace Museum, and experts from the Kyoto Museum. He did not elaborate on the phone, but said that there was an uncertain treasure that needed to be appraised together.
On the phone, those experts were full of expectations for tomorrow's heavy treasure. What Li Mo could take a fancy to was definitely not an ordinary heavy treasure. Although he said he was not sure, it was certainly a modest statement.
Getting up early the next day, Li Mo and Shi Lao began to practice Tai Chi in the courtyard, performing a series of moves in a continuous flow.
"Xiao Mo, your Tai Chi skills are already like those of a master, and they are no less impressive than those of us who have practiced Tai Chi for decades."
After the punch, Shi Lao felt slightly warm all over, feeling very comfortable in the cold weather.
"I practiced boxing on an isolated island when I had nothing to do. I practiced hard for two years. Grandpa, do you know anyone who is very good at managing museums?"
Shi Lao looked at him, thought about it in his mind, and said with a smile: "I'm not proficient in antiques, but your Grandpa Qin knows a few of them. If you need help, you can ask your Grandpa Qin for help."
"Okay, I'll ask him later."
After breakfast, Li Mo drove to the Kyoto Museum. After parking the car, I saw Director Shi and two experts walking towards this direction.
"Hello, Director Shi, Expert Zhou, and Expert Chang."
"Seeing that you are back safely, we old guys are happy from the bottom of our hearts. If you disappeared for no reason, it would be an irreparable loss to our antique industry. Don't believe it, in the two years since you were gone, we all felt that our lives Work is no fun. No, we are looking forward to finding good things as soon as you come back. Come on, let us see what good things are."
"Director Shi, don't worry, I'll take it."
Li Mo took out a sword box from the back seat. As soon as the sword box appeared, the three experts were immediately attracted to it.
"A box made of golden nanmu!" Curator Shi reached out and stroked the surface of the sword box with surprise in his eyes, "Teacher Li, don't tell me that this is the box you want us to see?"
"If it were just a golden nanmu box, I wouldn't even bother to bring it over. The heavy treasures are always stored inside. Don't be shocked later."
"Then we really have to wait for the other experts to arrive before starting together. Let's go to the conference room to drink tea first. We haven't seen you for two years. Except for you being a little tanned, nothing else has changed."
Curator Shi enthusiastically pulled him towards the office.
At about 9:30 in the morning, other experts invited by Li Mo arrived one after another, and everyone exchanged pleasantries again.
"Xiao Mo, this is your first battle since your return, don't let us down." Zhu Changping said with a smile, "How about we all guess which dynasty the treasure inside is from, and whoever guesses correctly will How about a treat?”
"Hahaha, this is good."
Everyone was just having fun, and they actually told their own guesses.
Li Mo kept smiling on the sidelines. Only one of the eight experts guessed that
From the Qing Dynasty, they must think that Li Mo is the most proficient in the antiques of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If he can't clearly judge, it is probably from a longer dynasty. Because the longer the time goes, the fewer samples will be left.
"Experts, I think, no matter which one of you guesses correctly, I will give you a bottle of old wine to try later. Since you are all full of curiosity, let Professor Zhu open the box. You guys will identify it first. , I’ll have some tea.”
Zhu Changping opened the golden nanmu box and saw a sword lying inside. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared and then became very solemn. The same was true for other experts.
"From the appearance, it looks a bit like a hidden sword, but it should be a sword."
"The surface of the scabbard is covered with the best crocodile skin, inlaid with many diamonds, sapphires and rubies." An expert quickly took out a magnifying glass from his briefcase and looked at the gems carefully, "They are all the best. Top notch gem.”
"The sword hilt is engraved with dragon patterns, one, two, three...eight, nine, there are actually nine dragon patterns of different shapes carved on it. Take the sword out quickly and take a look at the blade."
Zhu Changping held out the sword, and then Xu gently pulled it out. The sword suddenly radiated with radiance and sharpness, making people feel goosebumps all over their bodies in the cold weather.
"This sword..."
"Impossible, how could it be that sword?"
"Didn't that sword burn down a long time ago? Why did that legendary sword appear here?"
"Everyone, please hold back, hold back and don't make decisions easily. This is just our conjecture. Whether it is the first national sword in the Qing Dynasty still needs careful judgment. Professor Zhu, let's study it carefully."
The eight people were all shocked by the sword in front of them. They were all experts in history, so they could naturally guess the origin of the sword in front of them. As long as it is authenticated, the entire history and antique world will be shocked.
Li Mo is quite leisurely. Let them study it carefully. If they don't study it thoroughly, they probably won't even think about leaving this conference room today.
Several people did some research and called people to send a lot of information.
"There is a record here. Come and take a look at this record."
Time passed by little by little, and it seemed that an hour had passed before Professor Zhu Changping and other experts nodded. It seemed that they had finally reached a unified conclusion.
"Teacher Li, you are still in the mood to drink tea there." Seeing his leisurely look, Director Shi couldn't help but said in a funny voice, "What is your conclusion?"
"I initially judge that it is Emperor Qianlong's favorite, the legendary Nine Dragons Sword, the first national sword of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this is just my personal judgment."
"Li Mo, our judgment is also the same. It is the Nine Dragons Sword that has disappeared for a long time. However, history books record that the Nine Dragons Sword crashed on Jinling Dai Mountain with Dai Li. After the fire, only a broken piece of iron was found at the scene. Since then, the Nine Dragons Sword has completely disappeared. I want to know where you got this Nine Dragons Sword."
Professor Zhu’s question is also what other experts want to ask.
