    Just when Qi Baolin ordered the action, Chu Chen was already attracted by the many precious cultural relics in front of him. Not only were there various bronzes, porcelain, jades, etc., there were also various Han Dynasty human figurines. Among the human figurines  , the most precious one is a gilt bronze feathered human figure from the Han Dynasty.  Yumen, as the name suggests, are people with feathers or feather coats who can fly. They first appeared in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and were called Yumen.  During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the trend of becoming immortals was prevalent. People longed to transcend death and live forever in the paradise where gods and immortals live. Because the feathered man has wings and can fly, it is synonymous with immortality. Therefore, there are a large number of scenes showing immortality on the tomb murals of the Han Dynasty, especially the feathered people.  A human-guided diagram of ascending on a dragon.  From the perspective of archaeological research, there are many artifacts with the image of feathered figures in the Han Dynasty. Of course, some of them are good and some are bad. The gilt-bronze feathered figures in Ma Xionglin are undoubtedly quite exquisite.  This feathered figure is more than 30 centimeters tall, wearing a face covering, a high nose, deep eyes, protruding cheekbones and wide ears, long horns on the top of his head, and wings on his shoulders.  He knelt on his knees and held square and round utensils in his hands.  This was not the first time that Chu Chen had seen the artifact held by Yuren, but the archaeological community had not yet reached a conclusion on what it represented specifically.  The best guess is that it should be a medicine box, and the medicines are probably Ganoderma lucidum and other elixirs and nectar that can make people live forever.  The height of this feathered figure is relatively rare. In addition, its vivid shape, gilt body, exquisite craftsmanship, and good preservation make it very rare. It is also very attractive to put in a museum.  utensils.  Due to time constraints, Chu Chen directly activated his powers after seeing the feathered statue.  I scanned the surrounding utensils and found hundreds of things around me.  All genuine.  But none of the dozens of treasures Ma Xionglin mentioned was seen.  Seeing Chu Chen frown.  Ma Xionglin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Chu, don't you like everything here?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I like it, but what about the dozens of treasures you mentioned before, Old Ma? I don't think I can get them.  At this time, do you still want to save something for me?" Ma Xionglin waved his hands with a smile: "How is this possible! Isn't it true that good things are saved for the last time?" Chu Chen sneered: "You still  I'm not afraid that I won't buy these if I see something good! To tell you the truth, my private museum is already in preparation. I can eat everything you have here.  Hearing this, Ma Xionglin was a little stunned.  You know, the cultural relics he left behind were all carefully selected. Although each one may not be worth much, the lowest value is thirty or forty thousand. Adding up hundreds of pieces, that can be worth hundreds of millions!  ¡°Moreover, I still have dozens of treasures, as well as several important items.  The total amount of money involved was already very large for him.  Originally, Ma Xionglin just wanted Chu Chen to eat a few of his treasures.  With one or two important items, he can become a rich man with peace of mind.  As for the remaining things, although he also wanted to sell them all.  But it¡¯s a bit unrealistic and we can only wait until he immigrates.  Process it slowly.  Now, suddenly Chu Chen said that he wanted to buy all his things.  Ma Xionglin wondered for a moment whether he was hallucinating. After a while, he calmed down, swallowed dryly, and asked with some tongue-tied words: "Young Master Chu, but this money" "What a local leopard."  !" Hu Yong glanced at Ma Xionglin with disdain and said, "Not to mention anything else, Mr. Chu also has a rich jade mine in Myanmar. With this mine, I can buy these things from you in a matter of minutes!"  Chu Chen gave Hu Yong an approving look, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Old Ma, money is not a problem at all. As long as your things are good and the price is right, I will definitely buy them all!" Seeing that Chu Chen was not convinced,  As if he was lying to himself, Ma Xionglin's heart began to heat up. If Chu Chen could buy everything, it would undoubtedly be the best thing for him. And regardless of whether Chu Chen painted the cake or not, he was sure  If you don't see the rabbit and don't show off the hawk, you won't lose anything.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Ma, I have said this, don't you still want to take out the important tools for me to appreciate?" "Young Master Chu, you are so sincere, I still want to  What's so pretentious!" Ma Xionglin laughed, then walked to a seemingly insignificant wall and pressed lightly on a location. Then Chu Chen saw another door appear next to Ma Xionglin, but  This door was not a security door at all. Ma Xionglin turned the door handle lightly and the door opened.  Seeing this situation, Chu Chen walked over curiously. After a while, he saw Ma Xionglin moving out something that looked like?It is an eagle-like object.  When he saw this artifact, Chu Chen was immediately stunned, because the artifact in front of him seemed to be the Eagle Tripod collected in the National Museum. The difference was that the Eagle Tripod was made of pottery, and the artifact in front of him was  , looks like bronze.  Chu Chen came back to his senses and asked quickly: "Old Ma, this should be a bronze tripod, right?" "It should be!" Ma Xionglin scratched his head and said: "As for what it is, I don't know much about it, except for this.  Besides, I haven¡¯t seen any other bronze tripods like this, but whether it¡¯s a tripod or not, I¡¯m sure it¡¯s a good thing!¡± Chu Chen was convinced, not to mention other things, from the exquisite decoration on the surface of this object.  Judging from its lifelike expression, you can see how extraordinary it is.  Ma Xionglin said with a smile: "Young Master Chu, take a look first, and I'll take out the other things!" Chu Chen nodded. At this time, his mind was already attracted by this bronze vessel. He knelt down and  First, I measured the height of the bronze tripod with my hands. It was about fifty centimeters, while the height of the pottery eagle tripod was only thirty-six centimeters. This was another difference.  This tripod looks mighty and majestic.  The eagle's front chest is a tripod belly, which is full and thick, and the mouth of the eagle is open on the eagle's back.  Moreover, there are more than twenty inscriptions engraved on the mouth of the vessel, which are not found on the pottery tripod.  You must know that from these inscriptions alone, we can not only verify the origin of the bronzes and whose tomb they came from, but also have extremely high research value on the social development and form at that time.  ¡°Coupled with the very peculiar shape of this bronze tripod, Chu Chen believes that as soon as this tripod is released, it will cause quite a stir in the collection circles, archeology circles and academic circles at home and abroad.  Therefore, when he saw this, Chu Chen had already decided that he would have to get this strange-looking bronze tripod no matter what. Even if he asked his family to help put pressure, he must get it.  ¡°Besides, he wants this bronze tripod to be displayed in a museum and has no plans to sell it. He has done such a big favor this time, so this request shouldn¡¯t be too much!  Chu Chen chuckled, and then turned his attention to the bronze tripod in front of him.  The eagle's eyes are wide open, its body is covered with cloud and thunder patterns, and it is decorated with animal mask patterns, Kui dragon patterns, and phoenix bird patterns. Its beak is in the shape of a strong hook.  Judging from the characteristics of the decoration, it should be from the late Shang Dynasty. Coupled with the characteristics of the inscription, Chu Chen basically concluded that the bronze tripod should be made in the late Shang Dynasty.  In addition to the decoration, this bronze eagle tripod has a simple overall structure and a strong sense of volume. The feet and tail of the eagle stably support the tripod on the ground, and the retracted wings surround the middle and rear part of the tripod, forming a kind of  The forward movement, coupled with the large eyes and sharp beak on the eagle's head, make the eagle look majestic and majestic.  Chu Chen stroked the bronze tripod with his hands, his eyes full of intoxication. Although this bronze tripod is not the most precious compared to his cultural relics, but with its unique shape and exquisite workmanship,  There are also more than 20 inscriptions, which can reflect its extraordinary and preciousness.  At the same time, it also increased his determination to win.  When Old Ma came out with another object, Chu Chen said: "Old Ma, let me ask a presumptuous question. You know that I bought the thing for exhibition, so I have to treat this bronze tripod.  Do you have an in-depth understanding? " "This" After hearing the end, Ma Xionglin knew what Chu Chen meant. He just wanted to ask about the origin of this bronze tripod, but this kind of thing is also quite difficult for them.  taboo.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
