Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Chapter 739 The Gilded Chimes of the Old Summer Palace

This is a Tibetan magic weapon from the period of Emperor Shunzhi, which opened Li Mo's eyes. He also plans to collect more such instruments and display them in temples for believers to worship.

"Professor Sima, what you said is really good." Li Mo has always admired his talent and learning, so he sincerely praised him.

Sima Haotian's heart became hot, Li Mo gave him the opportunity to explain, nothing more than letting him fully demonstrate his ability in front of countless people, he had good intentions.

"Thanks!"

Although he didn't say thank you for his great kindness, Sima Haotian didn't know how to express his inner gratitude besides saying thank you.

The two continued to open treasures, and the next small ones were all rough wooden boxes, and there were also pieces of accessories inside, and the main raw material used was coral.

"This is a coral-carved longevity bracelet."

"This is a coral-carved phoenix bracelet with hundreds of sons. Let's take a closer look at the surface of the bracelet, where children are carved with relief techniques. In ancient times, such phoenix bracelets were usually worn by empresses and concubines, implying more children and more blessings."

"This coral necklace with gemstones is also very beautiful and exquisite. Each coral bead is engraved with a pattern on the surface, which is very beautiful."

The second tin box contains mainly various ornaments, and there are thirty-three pieces in total after cleaning.

"Associate Professor Zheng, have you registered everything?"

"It's all good."

A few people came over and locked all the special boxes, and then sent them to the underground treasure house, waiting for the third phase of the Yuanmingyuan Museum to be built before they were arranged for display.

The third tin box had been moved to the middle position. After the brown bear opened it as usual, strands of golden light reflected under the light. Judging from the exposed appearance, it should be in the shape of a bell.

Li Mo took out one of them, about 30 centimeters high and 19 centimeters wide. This is a very rare imperial bronze gilt bell. The mouth is flush, the surface is gilded, and the overall production is rigorous and exquisite, showing the royal air.

The top of the bell is adorned with complex and exquisite Shuanglong Jiaotai bell buttons, implying the harmony of heaven and earth, and the prosperity of all things. Compared with the majestic twin dragons attached to it, Kongwu is majestic. The dragon horns point backwards and upwards along the fine and smooth mane, and the thin and powerful dragon claws grab the bell body. The back is arched and semi-circular for hanging.

The surface of the bell body is divided into upper, middle and lower layers by two raised horizontal string patterns, which are full of three-dimensional and exquisite patterns. The bell dance on the upper level is decorated with wishful cloud patterns; the bell on the middle level is decorated with double dragons grabbing beads on the main body. A pair of mighty and vigorous walking dragons, each grabbing a fire bead, are on the undulating waves, amidst the lingering auspicious clouds. , The long beard opened his eyes, the dragon's mouth sprayed open, and he strode and rolled over the nine heavens, full of auspicious energy, majestic, and eager to come out.

"Professor Sima, we have unearthed a real national treasure, which is the gold-plated chimes in the Old Summer Palace."

Li Mo put down the chime bells in his hand, and took out the second one from the box, and then the third one. When the gilded chime bells of the Qing Dynasty were placed on the ground one by one and exposed to the live broadcast camera, the people present and the people in the live broadcast room It boiled instantly.

Eight gilt chimes are stored in this tin box.

"Brown bear, open the remaining two. According to records, in the court of the Qing Dynasty, there were eight pieces of this kind of solemn and luxurious chime bells on each floor, a total of sixteen pieces on two floors. The order from the bass to the treble is hung on a tall and exquisite golden lacquer stand to form a complete set of chimes, which are specially played for altar sacrifices and palace ceremonies. , It is also a status symbol of heaven and earth reverence for gods and supreme imperial power, and can only be used when the emperor personally sacrifices to the ancestors of the gods or attends banquets in court."

Sima Haotian went on to say: "After the Yuanmingyuan was burned, 16 pieces of gilt chime bells were looted, two of them appeared in the Museum of Fa Kingdom, and the whereabouts of the remaining 14 pieces of gilt chime bells are unknown. I really did not expect other The gilt chime bells of the ancient times appeared here."

"Boss, there's more in this box, take a look."

The fourth tin box was obviously not a chime bell, but in the fifth box, a gold-plated chime was found again. Li Mo and Sima Haotian hurried over to clean it up. All the last six gold-plated bells of the Qing Dynasty royal family were there.

The country's most important utensils that were stored in the Yuanmingyuan to worship the ancestors of the gods or to have a banquet in person have finally reappeared. If there is a chance to get back the two gold-plated chimes in the Fa Kingdom Museum in the future, the whole set of The heavy instrument can play "Zhonghe Shaoyue" again.

"Associate Professor Li, it's up to you to complete this set of gilded chime bells for the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, when the chime bells ring, the country will live in peace."

There are too many cards in Li Mo's hand, as long as he is willing to come forward to talk, the two gold-plated bells of Yuanmingyuan can be returned at any time.

"I will do this as soon as possible."

This time Kaibao was able to produce a complete set of gilt chime bells, which surprised Li Mo even more. He would make "Zhonghe Shaole" ring again in the new Old Summer Palace.

"Associate Professor Li, many netizens in the live broadcast room are saying that such a gorgeous and noble gilt chime bell should be rung at the Spring Festival Gala, praying for peace in the world and living and working in peace and contentment."

"There are still many netizens saying that they have learned musical instruments and are willing to recommend themselves to ring the gilt chime bells by themselves."

Li Mo smiled at the camera and said, "If you say that, I will be under a lot of pressure. But please rest assured that all netizens, I will try my best to find a way to make this set of gold-plated chimes complete."

This is the treasure of the town, if you can't find it, it's fine, now that the last two pieces are placed in the Fa Kingdom Museum, it will be easy to handle. When I am free, I can think about how to negotiate with them. I have a lot of treasures in my hands, so I don’t worry about them not agreeing. Maybe they will rush to negotiate with me at that time.

Fourteen gilt chimes were individually protected and stored in new boxes one by one. As expected of the treasures looted from the Old Summer Palace, only four tin boxes have been counted so far, and many treasures have already appeared.

After all the more than 40 boxes have been counted, it is estimated that the space in the third phase of the Yuanmingyuan Museum will be almost enough.

"Associate Professor Li, after the other box is cleared, I suggest that the opening of treasures in the morning should end first."

Sima Haotian suggested in a low voice.

"It's still a long time before noon."

"I don't think you can participate in the live broadcast any more. If an even rarer treasure is released in the future, which attracts too many people's attention, then you will have too many unexpected troubles negotiating with Faguo."

Li Mo nodded after thinking for a while: "Come and clean the fifth box, I will communicate with others in private."

The two of them spoke in a low voice, so they did not attract the attention of the live broadcast room.

Li Mo stood up and walked to the side to beckon to Jia Siyuan, and then whispered to him. Jia Siyuan nodded repeatedly, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he understood as soon as Li Mo said it.
