Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 35 Exhibitions

In the classroom, just as Ye Qing put her backpack on the table, Xie Lai appeared from nowhere and sat down next to her.

"I'll show you something." With a mysterious look, Xie Lai pushed the phone to Ye Qing's eyes.

On the screen of Shelley's mobile phone is a photo with a bronze mirror in it.

"Didn't I go to Bei'an City with the professor a while ago?" Xie Lai glanced around, saw no one noticed them, and then whispered in her ear: "That is a general's tomb from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the professor and the others are inside Found a fairly well-preserved bronze light-transmitting mirror!"

His hand slid across the screen a few times, and then he changed a few more pictures.

One is a bronze mirror lying in an exquisite wooden box, and the shooting location should be inside the tomb.

One is a bronze mirror placed on a white cloth on the ground, and there is a handwritten sign under the mirror - Yangjiao Mountain, Zhangjiawan, Bei'an City.

There are also several continuous moving pictures, showing the bronze mirror projecting patterns on the wall under the sunlight.

"We still don't know who the owner of the tomb is, but experiments have shown that this bronze mirror is indeed a light-transmitting mirror!"

Xie Lai's tone was full of excitement, especially when he mentioned the word "translucent mirror".

From the appearance, the bronze light-transmitting mirror is the same as ordinary bronze mirrors, but when reflecting sunlight or flat light, the inscriptions and patterns cast on the back of the bronze mirror will be reflected in the light and shadow of the bronze mirror, so it is called light-transmitting mirror.

At present, all the unearthed light-transmitting mirrors are made of bronze, and people often call them light-transmitting bronze mirrors.

This kind of light-transmitting bronze mirror was seen in the Western Han Dynasty, and the craftsmanship was lost in later generations.

"Look carefully." Shelley clicked on another video and showed her: "Do you know when this transparent lens was made?"

Xie Lai saw that Ye Qing often read the illustrated books of cultural relics, and guessed that she likes ancient relics and must be interested in such unearthed things. When he learned about this from the professor last night, he couldn't help being excited and wanted to share it with her.

Although Xie Lai had told Ye Qing that this was the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she would never have guessed it!

He also thought about showing off, and admiring her admiring little eyes for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lai was dumbfounded by Ye Qing's answer, and even felt unbelievable!

Ye Qing glanced, and said casually, "The end of the war."

She answered calmly, and Xie Lai couldn't help but feel that the question he asked just now was "Have you eaten?" She answered too casually.

When he came back to his senses, Xie Lai had little stars in his eyes.

If she hadn't been fooled, she would definitely be a great god in the cultural relics world!

"Talent!" Xie Lai shook his head while clapping his hands, with an even more amazed expression on his face: "The professor studied for half a month before he confirmed that this bronze light-transmitting mirror belongs to..."

Xie Lai mouthed: "Warring States."

"How on earth did you find out?"

"I'm just guessing."

Xie Lai didn't believe it. She didn't guess which dynasty. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were Xinmang and Western Han. She guessed the Warring States Period?
Moreover, as we all know, the light-transmitting mirror should originate from the Western Han Dynasty.In the Hujiang City// Museum, there are tens of thousands of bronze mirrors in the collection, of which only four Han Dynasty bronze mirrors have the effect of light transmission, the most representative one is the Western Han Dynasty bronze mirror "seeing the light of the sun".

There are no bronze light-transmitting mirrors collected in the museum or circulated in the market. There are no objects before the Western Han Dynasty. How could Ye Qing guess the Warring States period?
The light-transmitting mirror from the tomb of General Mu is a panchi pattern mirror. This pattern was popular in the Warring States Period and the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, there are slightly rough gold and silver patterns on the side of the mirror, but this kind of craftsmanship is not as good as that in the Han Dynasty. Mature.

The professor noticed this, and spent several nights looking through a large amount of information. He found a piece of information, which recorded that a bronze light-transmitting mirror with gold and silver interlacing patterns was unearthed in the Jincun area of ​​Luoyang. The time was about the middle of the Warring States period, and this bronze mirror had been lost, but through old photos, the professor found the similarities between them.

If this is the case—this bronze light-transmitting mirror really belongs to the Warring States Period, it can be said to be a major discovery in the industry, and it refreshes the historical gap of more than 200 years!

"leaf……"

Xie Lai wanted to ask her how she could guess so accurately, but the class bell rang.

This class was taught by Mr. Di, one of the "Four Famous Arrests in Beijing". No one, including Xie Lai, dared to chat in class, but he still had something to say, so he took back his phone.

After a while, Ye Qing's phone vibrated.

After clicking on it, Shelley sent her a message.

Xie Lai: As classmates, we need to help each other and share more, so that friendship can last forever. (He then sent a playful smiley face)

Ye Qing closed the phone.

Shelley: Continue to send all kinds of cute emoticons that have been added recently.

Ye Qing: If you don't want your phone, can I throw it out for you?

Five minutes later, he sent another message.

Shelley: At three o'clock, there's an antiques fair at the Letus Hotel, go see it?
Xie Lai: It was an internal exhibition of the industry, hosted by the president of the Jinghua Cultural and Expo Association, and it was full of well-known antique collectors.

Ye Qing: No.

Ye Qingben rejected him, but when the second class was about to end, Xie Lai sent her a list of the exhibits and browsed them briefly, but she changed her mind and decided to go.

In the album, she found that two of the ancient objects may contain spiritual energy.

She estimated the time, went to the Leicester Hotel to have a look, and then went to the kindergarten to pick up the students in time.

Xie Lai knew that Ye Qing was going to the exhibition, and there was a little pride hidden in his smile. After class, the two quickly left the classroom.

The exhibition is scheduled to be held in Wrights in the city center. It is a super five-star hotel with good security facilities. For this exhibition, the banquet hall on the entire floor is reserved.

Xie Lai didn't have an invitation post in advance, he brought Ye Qing in just to swipe his face.

"My grandpa doesn't like these things. He always says they are useless broken stones, but my grandma's favorite jade bracelet is a gift from grandpa."

Xie Lai's grandmother is a collector, especially jadeite, and was a senior member of the Cultural and Expo Association until she passed away a few years ago.Influenced by his grandma, Xie Lai has been particularly interested in history and old objects since he was a child. When other people’s children were still reciting ABC, he was already sitting in the history class and listening with half understanding. Other people’s children were still playing with building blocks and remote control. When he was in the car, he had already sneaked to the Antique Street to pick up leaks, so that later, he secretly changed his father's wish to let him study medicine, and entered the Wenbo College.

Entering the banquet hall, the exhibits are even more dazzling.

In addition to the items in the album, there are also many new collections of antiques specially displayed by some enthusiasts, mainly to make others envious. These old-fashioned collectors are actually mostly old children.

Ye Qing quickly found the two ancient objects from among the many exhibits, a bronze lamp and a cloisonné enamel Buddhist altar.

Her eyes didn't stay on the two items for long before she was attracted by something in another glass cover.

There is actually a rough stone in this exhibition. There is a stone on a high platform pillar, which is oblong and as big as the fist of two adults.

With just one look, Ye Qing knew that there was something wrong with this stone!
