The next day, Yan Qijun and five staff members arrived at Qingjiang Hotel early, and Li Mo took them to have a buffet breakfast.
"Breakfast in a five-star hotel is different. The dishes here are so rich. Associate Professor Li, I have benefited from you today." Yan Qijun rarely acted casually. He took out his mobile phone and said, "So Don’t miss a good opportunity, so I took a few photos and posted them in the family group, so that my wife and children can see so many delicious foods.”
"Yan Ju, what you said is half right." Li Mo took a sip of fresh soy milk, and then slowly ate the spiced eggs.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Li Mo looked at the many dishes and smiled and said: "No matter how many things there are, in fact we only eat a few things, and they are the things we usually eat. For example, soy milk fried dough sticks, egg fried rice, sour and delicious mixed cucumbers, and Or corn buns. As for those steaks, pork chops, lamb chops, etc., too few people eat them. So no matter how many dishes there are, I will only take three or four of them."
Yan Qijun looked back and smiled: "That's true. It seems that my thinking has gone into a misunderstanding."
"However, I mainly eat meat in Kyoto, and I eat a lot of beef and mutton. Because I practice martial arts frequently, which consumes a lot of physical energy."
"You young people have good appetites. If I eat a little, my stomach won't be able to bear it."
After breakfast, everyone got into the luxury car. Sun Chengan was transferred from home and had a full-time driver. As the car drove onto the highway, Yan Qijun looked through the car glass at the two minibuses behind him. It was too conspicuous. Li Mo actually brought so many security guards to Fudi this time. Fortunately, they didn't surround him all the time like they were protecting celebrities.
The convoy drove directly towards Ningde Zhiti Temple. After more than two hours, it stopped in a large parking lot. Not far away was the Zhiti Temple built on the mountain. It was only about 9:30 in the morning, and there were not many tourists. They were still in groups. self drive travel,
"Associate Professor Li, the local staff are already waiting at the entrance of the temple. We will go directly."
"Okay, strictly speaking, you just have to make arrangements."
Several people got out of the car. The brown bear was still carrying a backpack with mineral water and some emergency medicine in it. Under the leadership of Yan Qijun, he walked to the entrance of the temple, where there were already more than ten people waiting. When they saw them appearing, three of them took the initiative to greet them.
"Senior Bureau, welcome."
"Associate Professor Li, welcome."
Li Mo shook hands with the leaders of the local county cultural protection bureau one by one, then entered the temple and walked inside.
"Yan Ju, Associate Professor Li, and Master Yan Hua, the abbot of the temple, have taken out the dragon robe and cassock. He is not able to accompany us because he is unwell. Please forgive me."
"Master Huayan is an expert outside the world. It was us who disturbed his practice." Li Mo was a little embarrassed, as he came at the wrong time today, "But how come that dragon robe and cassock is stored in Zhiti Temple?"
"Associate Professor Li didn't know that the dragon robe and cassock was found in the tomb of Emperor Jianwen, and that mausoleum is on the mountain behind Zhiti Temple. In addition to the dragon robe and cassock, relics were also found, so we It was concluded that the owner of the tomb was related to Zhiti Temple, so the dragon robe and cassock were kept in the secret room of the temple."
…
The local leader explained the cause and effect, and then took Li Mo into a side courtyard. A group of people walked into a room, where two monks in their forties were waiting. One of the monks put on clean white gloves and opened the box on the table. What came into his eyes was yellow silk.
Opening the silk, the mysterious cassock inside appeared in front of everyone.
"Associate Professor Li, please."
The local leader handed a pair of gloves to Li Mo.
After putting it on, Li Mo looked at the wooden box carefully and said: "This is a red sandalwood treasure box, and the coating is very thick. But judging from the carved patterns on the treasure box, it should be the style of the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Yan Bureau, were this dragon robe and this red sandalwood treasure box born together?"
Yan Qijun looked slightly stunned when asked, then nodded and said: "Yes, this temple is located on a mountain, there is little moisture on the ground, and it is protected by this red sandalwood box, so the dragon robe and cassock can be preserved intact until now. .”
Li Mo Yitong glanced at it, and the red sandalwood treasure box revealed a slightly lighter blue halo. It was indeed an ancient artifact from the mid-Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, after the temple master passes away, the cassock can be kept, or he can enter the place of death together.
Judging from the time, it is impossible to believe that it was worn by Emperor Jianwen. He could not live to be over 150 years old.
The probability is extremely slim.
In this case, there is a problem with the origin of the dragon robe and cassock in front of me.
Li Mo Yitong looked at the dragon robe and cassock again, and the same blue halo was reflected from the cassock. In other words, the dragon robe and cassock and the red sandalwood chest were from the same time period, and they were definitely not antiquities from the early Ming Dynasty.
This dragon robe has nothing to do with Emperor Jianwen.
Li Mo's heart suddenly went cold. He was really happy for a long time.
"Master, please help me unfold the dragon robe and cassock."
The two monks took out their cassocks and carefully unfolded them so that everyone present could see them clearly.
Li Mo looked carefully and saw that the cassock was 2.1 meters long and 1.3 meters wide. It is different from ordinary Yun brocade. The one in front of me does not look as gorgeous as imagined, but it is very attractive, elegant and simple.
There are three major varieties: Ku brocade, Ku satin and Zhuanghua, as well as Song brocade. The patterns include dragon patterns, flower and grass patterns, and lantern patterns. The dragon pattern is woven from round gold threads, flat gold threads, and silver threads. The dragon patterns include five-clawed dragon, three-clawed Kui dragon, Xinglong and Tuanlong.
After a rough count, the number was about ninety.
Li Mo's brows furrowed more and more as he looked at it, and everyone else was worried. There wouldn't be any big problem with this dragon robe and cassock.
After a while, Li Mo sighed and said, "This dragon robe and cassock was not left by Emperor Jianwen."
Yan Qijun opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how. Who is Li Mo? He is the number one treasure appraisal expert recognized in the country, and what he says is basically authoritative.
The others looked at each other in confusion. For many years, the dragon robe and cassock had been suspected to be left by Emperor Jianwen, but there was no solid evidence. Now being directly denied by Li Mo, this makes many people feel very stuck in their hearts.
Ningde Emperor Jianwen's culture can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and they have spent a lot of energy. In recent years, the influence of Emperor Jianwen's culture has driven the majestic development of the local tourism industry.
…
If this dragon robe and cassock is definitely not left by Emperor Jianwen, we don’t know what the consequences will be.
"Associate Professor Li, what evidence do you have to prove that it was not left by Emperor Jianwen?"
Yan Qijun calmed down and asked, whether it was true or not, it was also what they had to do to restore the ancient objects to their original appearance.
"Sen Bureau, leaders, please look carefully. Although these dragons are all shut-up dragons, the dragon patterns are obviously different from the dragon patterns in the early Ming Dynasty. Instead, they are very similar to the dragon patterns in the mid-Ming Dynasty. In addition, the five-clawed dragon pattern The appearance of a dragon on a cassock does not necessarily prove that it was worn by the emperor. Three-clawed and two-clawed dragons, on the contrary, were found on the dragon robes of the Ming Dynasty emperors."
A group of people came forward to observe carefully. After comparing what Li Mo said, they gradually favored his judgment.
"Everyone take a closer look at these patterns. In addition to the eight auspicious patterns on the yellow ground, the cassock also has the four-season flower dragon pattern on the moon-white ground, the Kui dragon pattern on the yellow ground, the blue ground dragon chasing beads pattern, and the yellow four-in-one wishful thinking pattern. Cloud patterns, blue woven lantern patterns with Chinese characters for longevity, etc. Judging from these patterns, they are very similar to the patterns of Emperor Wanli's dragon robe unearthed from Dingling Tomb in Kyoto. This can also prove that this dragon robe and cassock is not an antiquity from the early Ming Dynasty. "
Li Mo mentioned the unearthed dragon robes of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. These are supporting evidence. There are real objects for comparison, which can prove the age of the dragon robes from the side.
"Associate Professor Li, I have a question. The tapestry technology was used in the weaving process of cassocks. This technology began in the Song Dynasty and was introduced from the Western Regions. It was popular until the early Ming Dynasty. After the middle Ming Dynasty, this technology This technology no longer appears, how can we explain this?”
A local leader asked in confusion.
"In fact, it is not difficult to understand. What we call the early, middle, and late Ming Dynasties all refer to a general time range, and there is no very strict identification to a certain point in time. This probably does not require too much entanglement."
Li Mo signaled the two masters to put the dragon robe and cassock away and put it back into the red sandalwood treasure box. Regardless of whether it was related to Emperor Jianwen or not, this cassock was a treasure among national treasures.
"Serious situation, since this dragon robe and cassock appeared in Zhiti Temple, are there any such historical records in the historical records of Zhiti Temple? If we can find out the words, then it will be absolutely necessary to determine its final Origin is more favorable.”
"Yes, there are many ancient books in the collection, but due to the war, many of them are broken."
"In this case, we can start investigating from the middle of tomorrow. It would be best if we can find out."
Yan Qijun looked at the time, thought for a moment and said, "Associate Professor Li, let's go up the mountain first. Others can stay here and read those ancient books first."
"That's okay, then let's pack up and get ready to go into the mountain. Yanji, I already have a general direction for entering the mountain. The road may be a bit difficult to walk. If there are any problems along the way, everyone will ask them in time."
"good."
