“Huh?”

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a black gilded branch patterned cover bowl broke into Li Yi's sight. He picked it up and saw that it turned out to be a silver cover bowl, but it turned black because of oxidation.

The bowl is usually not covered, but the cover of the bowl is like an upside-down bowl, which is just a little shallow and slightly larger, folded along the bottom into a mother-child mouth and the body of the bowl below, and the joints are buckled in a slightest. Not only does the cover contain the words "two jin 1 liang and one liang" and other words "two jin 1 liang and one liang" inside the cover, which is enough to show that this is a set.

The ring foot of the bowl is also engraved with the word "Jin". Li Yi guessed that this should be something that local officials offered to the court, but there was no clear identification of the dynasty that was made by whom. These can only be judged by the gilded pattern on the surface of the bowl.

Gilding is a metal processing technology, also known as "gold coating", "golding", "golding" and "flowing gold". It is a technology that uses gold and mercury agents synthesized by gold and mercury to apply on the surface of the copper ware, heating to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold firmly adheres to the surface of the copper ware without falling off.

This technology first began in the Warring States Period. In the later period, it was not limited to gilding, but also silver plating, and the utensils used were not limited to bronze utensils. It is recorded in the historical book "The Deeds of An Lushan" that the items given to An Lushan by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang were two gold-plated silver-plated covers, which was mentioned as this kind of gilding silver plating.

This cover bowl contains a six-shaped ball of flowers composed of lotus leaves inside the cover. Six peach-shaped honeysuckle knots are arranged around the cover. Six folded branches are carved on the abdomen, and the flowers are similar to grape pomegranates. In addition, the cover surface and bottom outer edges are decorated with narrow petal patterns for one week, overlapping and chasing each other. The patterns are quite simple and elegant, but the production is very exquisite, and it is definitely the hand of masters at that time.

Li Yi observed carefully for a while and found that this cover bowl was very similar to the silver cover bowl of the Tang Dynasty unearthed from Hejia Village, Chang'an. The flowers and leaves were large and there were blank spaces at the intervals. It was also a popular decorative pattern in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it was speculated that this might also be a cover bowl of the Tang Dynasty.

After verifying it with the spirit-recording card, Li Yi continued to move forward. After more than a dozen Western antiques, he picked up another black pottery figurine and looked at it carefully.

This pottery figurine is a pottery dance figurine, about 20 cm tall. The dancer wears a deep robe with a tie, with a middle part of his hair, and is tied into a bun behind his head. His eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, his figure is squint, and his body appears as the dance steps change.

The dance figurine raised one arm, and the left and right upper arms had a "five" in front and back. The long sleeves floated down from the air to the back, full of dynamic feeling.

Li Yi had seen the corresponding information of this type of dance figurine before, but this was the first time he encountered it. He remembered that this kind of dance figurine should be called the woven-clothed pottery dance figurine, and the dance was the long-sleeved and waist Chu Wu that was popular at that time.

In China, there are only similar unearthed in the tombs of King Chu of the Western Han Dynasty near Xuzhou, with a total of only more than 20 pieces. However, the right arm is raised, the upper body is leaning forward, and the left arm is naturally hanging on the side of the body, just like a ritual movement after the dance. Only two pieces are unearthed in the tomb of King Chu of the Tulan Mountain. The number is rare and extremely precious, and it is not enough to describe it. I didn’t expect to see one here!

With his brows locked tightly, the more precious cultural relics he saw, the more sad he felt for the past of his motherland. More than 17 million pieces were like this, so who knows how many of them are there? And how much cultural wealth is contained in this batch? But now they can only drift in foreign countries, dancing for others, and dancing for those former invaders!

Putting down the pottery sword figurines and walking forward a few more steps, Li Yi suddenly raised his eyes and saw another familiar thing, but this thing was not a cultural relic from China, but a set of three bone porcelain hanging plates, one of which was exactly the same as the bone porcelain hanging plates belonging to Gregory XVI, who found in Dean's box of old bone porcelain porcelain!

The story told by the crazy old man I met in the Cathedral of St. Andre in Bordeaux immediately emerged in Li Yi's mind. In order to fight against the increasingly rampant vampires and werewolfs, the church concentrated all the holy powers of the top leaders and made a total of 7 holy objects that can cause huge damage to werewolfs and vampires, and there was a set of holy plates!

"This set of hanging disks..."

Seeing Li Yi holding the hanging plate with a puzzled look on his face, Eimmond exclaimed and walked over.

"Mr. Li Yi, have you heard of the legend of the Holy Pan?"

"Oh? Why do you say so, Mr. Emund? Could it be that this legend is true?"

Eimmond shook his head with a smile.

"I don't know whether the holy plate has holy power, but I know that there is indeed such a set of bone porcelain hanging plates in the church, and it is indeed a holy object of the church. This set is just a set of imitations."

Li Yi nodded,

"I heard that this set of holy plates was made with the 256th Pope Gregory XVI?"

Eimmond raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yi strangely.

"I didn't expect Mr. Li Yi to have such a deep study on this matter? Have you seen similar plates before?"

Li Yi's thoughts were heard, not knowing whether he should tell me about the fact that he was holding a holy plate in his hand.

"I just heard an old man tell this story at the Cathedral of St. Andre in Bordeaux. He said that the church made a total of seven new holy objects. The holy plates had lost one in the battle, so they had lost their holy power. I don't know whether it was true or false. Mr. Edmund, is that holy plate these three?"

Edmund said "Oh" softly and picked up the hanging plate that was exactly the same as the one in Li Yi's hand.

"Yes, there are only three holy plates in total, and one is indeed lost. For more than a hundred years, the church has been searching for it secretly and has offered an amazing reward for it. Mr. Li Yi, can you guess how much it costs?"

Li Yi knew that his hesitation just now had made Emund suspicious, but it didn't matter. As long as he didn't admit such a thing, no one could catch his handle.

He deliberately showed a very interested look and asked:

"Amazing reward? How much is it? If the price is enough, I don't mind paying attention to it at any time when appreciating antiques in the future."

"1 billion euros, or sovereignty of an island in the Mediterranean!"

"hiss!"

Li Yi did not hide the shock on his face at all. It was just an ordinary bone porcelain plate, which was worth 1 billion euros!

"Haha, what is 1 billion euros? That island is the real treasure, because the church will completely ced the sovereignty of the island with an area of ​​nearly 10 square kilometers to the person who handed it back to them, and is willing to provide him with shelter forever, Mr. Li Yi, do you know what that means?"

John Carru walked to the two of them at some point and interjected with a smile.

“Soviet? What does it mean?”

Li Yi only noticed the word sovereignty at this moment.

"That means that the church supports the island to become an independent and sovereign state, and this country is still under the protection of the church. In other words, as long as the owner of the island does not commit a great sin, no one in this world can do anything to him!"

"Damn it!" (To be continued.)
