Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 412 The magic weapon of throwing dragon sacrifices

  Since there is a clear record about the red gold walking the dragon in the cultural management archives, it means that this is a state-owned cultural relic. There are twelve little golden dragons in one group, but at the moment I have six in my hand, what's going on?

Li Mo opened another message, and here is the answer. It turns out that there was a theft in the Shaanxi Museum, and six red gold dragons were lost. At the same time, there were five plain gold hairpins, one Jinchuan and one gold-plated octagonal cup. Missing, has no clue so far, has become an unsolved case.

   "Little uncle, what are you looking at, with such a serious face?"

  Li Mo put down his phone, asked the clerk to bring a clean empty bowl, poured half a bowl of vinegar, and put the six little golden dragons in it to soak for a while.

  About ten minutes later, Li Mo took out the little golden dragon and wiped it carefully with tissue paper. Some of the patina on the surface was wiped clean, and the little dragon really revealed its original golden color.

   "Swallow, after dinner, let's go to the stall where we bought the little golden dragons. These six little golden dragons have some special origins. I need to find some more clues."

  Chen Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "Like the kind of job where agents follow bad guys?"

   "You think too much, eat more meat."

  After lunch, Li Mo and Chen Xiaoyan wandered around the old street again. The female boss was not there, and her daughter was guarding the booth. However, she was not very interested in the booth and was still playing with her mobile phone.

   "The female boss is not here."

   Li Mo muttered, seeing that her daughter didn't care about things at all, she probably couldn't find any useful news.

   "Little uncle, you wait here, I'll go over and ask."

  Chen Xiaoyan walked over to chat with the boss's daughter, and then the other party impatiently took out the banknotes and wrote something on them.

   After a while, Chen Xiaoyan returned to Li Mo, handed him the note and said, "Address and phone number?"

   "How did you get it out?"

   "It's so simple. I said that I plan to buy dozens of bracelets for my classmates in the next year. If they can do it, please give me a contact information. I will contact you after the year to confirm the quantity to buy."

  Ghostly cleverness probably describes a person like her.

  Now that you have the floor tile phone, let someone try to investigate it secretly.

   "We'll go back after another hour of shopping."

   "Okay, little uncle, let's go to the corridor by the river for a stroll. There are usually street stalls there. There are a lot of strange gadgets. Maybe we can encounter some antiques."

   "Listen to you, let's go."

  The two walked around casually, and they drove back to Chenjiacun around two o'clock in the afternoon. When passing the main road not far from the entrance of the village, I saw many workers building sheds. The Folk Street will hold a grand temple fair during the first lunar month, and the preparatory work is almost done.

  The noon banquet ended long ago, and many guests who came from afar have already left. After Li Mo got off the car, the villagers passing by the car greeted him one after another.

   "Little Martial Uncle."

   "Little uncle."

  Li Mo also smiled and said, "Go to dinner early in the evening."

   Arrived at the Chen family’s old house, it was full of people, chatting lively and drinking tea.

"Xiao Mo, you disappeared early in the morning, where did you go to play?" Shi Yi said a little bit reproachfully, his current status is not simple, many official people came to the banquet today, the most important thing is to see him one side.

   It turned out that this kid slipped really fast.

"I'm not good at socializing, and I don't want to be so annoying, so I hid in the county town with Yanzi, and we wandered there for more than half a day." Li Mo sat on the chair next to Li Zhongsheng, and poured himself a cup of hot tea, " Please help me at night. As far as I am able to drink, I will get drunk after one drink and pour it down after two. After three drinks, I will definitely not get up early tomorrow. This is also the main reason why I don’t want to participate in the banquet. It’s not good to drink. It’s even worse if you don’t pay back respect to others.”

"Hahaha, don't worry about that. I'll arrange a few drunken people to sit next to you, and they'll keep you drinking." The uncle laughed loudly. His daughter is now the president of the company. Married and pregnant, it was his greatest concern.

   "Master, Master, I still have something to go back to the room, you continue to chat."

  After Li Mo left, Chen Feng asked Chen Xiaoyan: "What is your little uncle that needs to be dealt with in a hurry?"

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, the little uncle found six little golden dragons the size of thumbs in the old street of the county seat today. He said that they were relics of the Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than a thousand years. But the specifics are He hasn't figured out what it's for, but it's probably for studying those little golden dragons."

   "The little golden dragon in the Tang Dynasty?"

  Chen Feng knows a little bit about antiques now, and his younger brother is eager to find out the origin of the little golden dragon, which shows that the historical value of the little golden dragon is very high.

   "Auntie, ask yourself in detail later."

  The Chen family has become accustomed to Li Mo picking treasures again. He has come to Chenjia Village three times, and each time he has gained a lot.

  Li Mo returned to the sleeping room and logged on to the special website again to check the content inside.

  In the Tang Dynasty, the golden dragon was regarded as an auspicious thing, which can not only ward off disasters and avoid evil, but also a symbol of imperial power. After the birth of the twelve red gold walking dragons that year, the expert group researched and speculated that they might be magic weapons used in the ritual of throwing dragons.

  The activity of throwing dragons for sacrifice comes from the Taoist belief in the three senses of heaven, earth and water. Ancient emperors used the form of "sinking" to worship mountains and rivers, "buried" when offering sacrifices to mountains, and "sinking" when offering sacrifices to water. The early sacrifices used for "sinking" included gold, silver and bronze wares. In the Tang Dynasty, a fixed etiquette for burying gold dragon and jade slips was gradually formed.

The general method is to tie the jade slips with the words written on them with jade, jade bi, golden dragon, golden buttons and other utensils together with green silk, and then throw them into famous mountains and rivers after the ceremony of offering sacrifices, as a letter of ascension, and to tell Sanyuan .

  This is probably the meaning of the existence of Chijin Zoulong.

   After reading all the information, Li Mo called Professor Zhu Changping's cell phone.

   "Xiao Mo, how is the situation? Can you confirm that the six little golden dragons in your hand belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Teacher, according to my judgment, the six small golden dragons in my hand are indeed red gold walking dragons. I also checked the internal documents. Six of the twelve red gold walking dragons in the Shandi Museum were lost, and there are other cultural relics from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Forty or fifty years have passed and it has become an unsolved case."

"Hey, too much time has passed, and many people and things have become blurred. Xiaomo, I still trust your eyesight to judge, so what are you going to do next? After all, the loss of the Chijin Zoulong has always been in the file. Yes, although you found it, it may still need to be returned to the Shaanxi Museum.”

"I know this matter in my heart, and it doesn't matter if I return it to them. However, it was lost once fifty years ago, so it may happen again in the future. If they are willing to take this responsibility, I can return it to them without hesitation. "

  Li Mo now has too many rare antiques in his hands. Although the six red gold walking dragons are rare, they have not yet reached the level of stunning at first glance.

   "It's good if you are prepared. You can figure it out. If you need Beijing University to coordinate, contact me at any time."

"Thank you, teacher."

  After talking on the phone with Professor Zhu Changping, Li Mo started to contact Qin Yali again. She is one of the main persons in charge of the Bureau of Cultural Affairs.
