I am not repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City

Tao Xiu received a big gift out of nowhere, and under his "hot" gaze, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​watching TV at night and sitting at the table looking at the pocket watch he brought back.

Because of the acid splashed on it, the whole pocket watch looks much cleaner, without those black lacquer dirt, and the golden case looks very graceful and luxurious, but there are too many pure gold things in the cultural relics, which is not much Jinggui, Tao Xiu took a magnifying glass to look carefully, and found that the pocket watch was rough to the touch because the case was all micro-engraved, micro-engraved is the most delicate craftsmanship, especially in ancient times, it was all handmade!Tao Xiu recognized it for a long time, but he didn't know if it was because the carvings were corroded or what happened, but he couldn't see the patterns on them clearly, he could only see a figure engraved near the edge of the watch, the man standing On the bridge, the clothes are fluttering, and the expression on the face is not clear, but that appearance is clearly Qintang!

Tao Xiu couldn't help turning his head to glance at the "ghost" who had been standing by the table. His entire body was hidden in the darkness beyond the desk lamp, as if his entire body was transparent, and he could only occasionally see the "ghost" like ink. Her long hair fluttered slightly, covering half of her ghostly face.

He fought a cold war.

But soon Tao Xiu was attracted by the pocket watch in his hand. He carefully pried open the back case of the pocket watch. Although he looked at Qintang and knew that the pocket watch was seriously damaged, he was still surprised when he opened it. , the inside of this pocket watch is almost completely brittle. It is reasonable to say that the metal is not so corrosive, but the parts inside seem to be completely corroded. Tao Xiu looked at it for a long time, and even the tweezers could I dare not reach in.

Not knowing who made this pocket watch, Tao Xiu took a rough look at it, and couldn't help being amazed.

The first clocks and watches were introduced from the West in the Ming Dynasty. Although the concept of time existed in ancient China at that time, there was still no technology to project time on simple machinery. Most clocks and watches also started from that time, with simple structures. , In the later period, Chinese craftsmen began to use their extraordinary ingenuity to combine traditional culture with clocks and watches, and the structure was not complicated until then.

Tao Xiu came into contact with many clocks and watches, but this was the first time he had seen such a structure.

Pocket watches are simply a decoration, used to support the scene. People who could afford pocket watches at that time didn't care much about the importance of time, so ordinary pocket watches are mainly made of workmanship, while practical functions Just lowered it a little bit.But this pocket watch is different. Looking at the fine structure inside, he even feels that this pocket watch is already a work of art just because of its practicality.

But the problem is that the structure of this clock is too rare, and it doesn't look like the manufacturing method of the Chinese people. Could it be something passed down from the West?

Tao Xiu didn't know much about history, so he didn't think too much about this question, and started to observe the pocket watch more carefully.

A few parts were missing inside the pocket watch. Tao Xiu looked carefully at the light and could only tell that it was made of a highly plastic material. Strange to say, this watch has a high gold content, not like gold-plated, the weight of pure gold It didn't look like that either, and the internal parts of the pocket watch were completely made of another substance. Tao Xiu looked at it for a long time, took a few photos with his mobile phone, and recorded them in the memo, preparing to check the information tomorrow.

He found a piece of soft cloth, wrapped the watch in it, and placed it on the table of the house in case he forgot it the next day.Just as I was about to get up after I was done, I heard an eager voice saying, "Sir, why don't you cultivate anymore?"

It was only then that Tao Xiu realized that there was a "person" standing next to him. He looked at the time and said helplessly, "Your watch can't be repaired in just one night. I can't fix it even if I stay up all night..." Qin Tang Hearing this, he stared at him in a daze, with a hint of confusion and grievance in his exposed eyes, Tao Xiu sighed, thinking that it was useless for you to look at me like that, so he simply took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Thinking of the sound of water rushing in the bathroom, Qintang's translucent body gradually appeared. He had no expression on his face. Standing in front of the desk, he stretched out his hand to tear apart the soft cloth, took out the pocket watch and put it in his palm, and kept When the sound of the water subsided, he put the pocket watch back in again, snorted inexplicably, and disappeared into the darkness again.

When Tao Xiu came out, Qin Tang had disappeared. He looked around and found that he was indeed invisible.But it was one thing not to see, quite another to know he was invisible and still in the house.Tao Xiu coughed, and said earnestly to the table where Qintang was standing just now: "I'm going to rest, if it's convenient for you, can you go outside, I know you ghosts don't need to sleep, maybe? It's convenient ..." After speaking, he pretended to bow.

Qintang standing behind him incognito: "..."
