With Yin Ranyi's guarantee, Lezheng Li immediately felt relieved, his eyes fell on the photos taken by Yin Ranyi again, his fingertips slid across the screen, and the lines on the wooden box were magnified It's not very obvious. If you don't look carefully, you can easily take those few lines as the texture of the wood itself.

He put the enlarged photo in front of Yin Ranyi, and said, "Take a good look, do you think this thing looks familiar?"

Yin Ranyi glanced at it, nodded and said, "Last time, it was on the belly of the squid."

"Besides that?" Lezheng Li asked persistently, "Could you have seen it elsewhere but forgot?"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked upstairs facing Yin Ran. The latter raised his hand to hold the wrist of his other hand, "Walk well."

Not long after the two of them returned to the office, the rest of the colleagues who had gone to watch also dispersed one after another. Xia Ming and the others were still talking about Ze Cangjian when they pushed the door open—of course, the host did not say that it was Ze Cangjian , the name of it is "Qin Dynasty Zhuoscale Jade Head Sword", because no information about this bronze sword can be found in historical records, researchers can only use the material of its sword making process and a song "Holding the Sword" engraved on the sword. The sword spans the world, and it can command the sky. Shout out to scare all directions, raise your hand to flatten the four Rong. On the banks of the Zhuolin Star River, gallop in the sky and the earth. Kyushu calls long live, and the world calls heroes." The poem sets the name of its age.

Speaking of this name, I have to mention the craft of bronze sword making. The development of this kind of cold weapon that began in the Shang Dynasty was almost at the same time as the bronze smelting process. At first, the length of the sword was generally only [-] to [-] centimeters. By the Spring and Autumn and Warring States It was fifty or sixty centimeters long, and until the Qin Dynasty, it jumped to a new level, basically more than eighty centimeters; among them, the Fuchai sword of the Wu king and the Goujian sword of the Yue king are rare treasures.

The reason why this bronze sword is regarded as a national treasure is because historians infer that it is likely to be used by the first emperor. No matter what is related to this emperor through the ages, its value can be doubled again and again. The "Jade Seal of Chuanguo", which is regarded as a national treasure, was engraved by Emperor Shihuang with Heshibi, but there is no trace of it now, so if this bronze sword was really used by Emperor Shihuang, there is also the sentence "Long live Kyushu". Its effectiveness can almost be equal to half of the Chuanguo Yuxi, and its importance is self-evident.

Lezheng Li had just been dragged away by Yin Ranyi before he could take a closer look at it. Although he was extremely curious about the national treasure, he didn't want to risk himself, and it was even more impossible for Yin Ranyi to check it alone. Yin Ranyi was injured by the national treasure and Yin Ranyi's convict Chong Chong, so he couldn't be more distressed to death.

At this moment, seeing Xia Ming and the others taking pictures of the bronze sword, Le Zhengli immediately went over and asked, "How about this national treasure, is it particularly domineering and majestic? Does it carry a domineering aura in your hand?"

"Hey, I didn't take it out at all!" Wei Yihong slapped his thigh regretfully, looking as if he had lost a million and 80 yuan, and said, "Brother Ren and the others said that they borrowed it from the museum." I said it at the right time, you are not allowed to take this thing out of the box, even opening the lid of the box to let us take pictures is considered a great blessing."

As he spoke, he clicked on the photo on his phone, pointed at the bronze sword on the screen, and said, "However, this national treasure is really a national treasure. Look, it has been around for so many years, and it is as bright as the kitchen knife that my family sharpened yesterday. of."

Lezheng Li couldn't help but smile, "Maybe it's the same texture as your kitchen knife." He leaned over to look at it, and saw that the bronze sword lying in the wooden box was as clean as new, without a trace of rust on the surface, gray-yellow The body of the sword is dazzlingly bright, and the top and bottom of the sword body are carved with exquisite rhombus patterns. The jade grid between the sword stem and the sword body is an extremely delicate milky white jade grid. Although it is just a simple photo, it is also It can be seen that this is definitely a beautiful jade.

Lezheng Li swallowed his saliva when he saw it, and exclaimed in a low voice: "This thing is too beautiful!"

Xia Ming said from the side: "To be called a national treasure, of course it can't be too ugly... Speaking of which, those gun-carrying gunmen were guarding the studio all the time during filming, and we were also driven away, otherwise who Don't want to watch it for a while?"

Compared with admiring the national treasures, Lezheng Li was more curious about the pattern on the box. The texture of the box didn't look like a close object. I don't know when and who carved it?Could it be that the person who carved the pattern on the box also went to Xinglong Mountain, caught so many squid and carved patterns on the belly of the fish one by one?

Le Zhengli handed back his hand to Wei Yihong, and asked one more question: "Hey, what is the origin of this box? It looks very beautiful."

"This box?" This question stopped several people. Tang Zhongliu scratched his head and said, "I don't know. It should be specially made for this bronze sword, right? I haven't heard the introduction yet." ah."

"Really." Le Zhengli nodded, "But I saw that the wood of the box was good, so I thought it was also a cultural relic, unearthed together."

Xia Ming smiled and said, "The wood from the Qin Dynasty? It should have rotted into dregs 800 years ago, right?"

Before the words fell, Wei Yihong put forward a different opinion: "You can't say that, maybe it is... wood fossils? This thing should be preserved for a long time, right?"

"Wood fossils are not enough," Le Zhengli smiled and walked back to the table and sat down. "Wood fossils take at least tens of thousands of years to form. Does the Qin Dynasty have such a long history?"

Yin Ranyi was thoughtful when he heard the words. He tapped the table with his right index finger for a moment, turned his head to look at Le Zhengli, and asked softly, "Why not?"

"Why..." Lezheng Li was taken aback for a moment, but stopped the folders he was packing up, "Yes, why not?"

Xia Ming and the others looked at it inexplicably, and Le Zhengli asked again: "Maybe that thing is really tens of thousands of years ago?"

"...Ah?" Wei Yihong was stunned for a moment, "You said the box is tens of thousands of years old?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of these people, Lezheng laughed out loud: "Guess."

[Remark 3] The word "long live" can be found in "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru".The Qin Dynasty said that Long Live should be just a cheer, which is similar to Oh Yeh. The text said that "Long Live refers to the emperor", and it should have started around the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (please correct me if I remember wrong), so please ignore this timeline BUG .
