    Listening to Qin Runyan's explanation, Meng Zitao looked around curiously and found that the room was very large, and there were multiple separate vertical glass cabinets in the room, which contained paintings and calligraphy works, among which the larger ones were on paper.  There are only a few works on silk.

    In addition to the vertical glass cabinets that collect calligraphy and painting works, there are also two ancient cabinets with some antiques placed on them. Although it is not very clear from a distance, it can still be seen that these should be high-quality products.

    After Qin Runyan finished speaking, Meng Zitao asked curiously: "How is the humidity in the room controlled here?"

    Qin Runyan explained: ¡°The desiccant is mainly color-changing silica gel or anhydrous calcium chloride.¡±

    As for the method of controlling the temperature, everyone knew it, and Meng Zitao didn¡¯t ask much.

    Next, Qin Runyan led everyone to the Bogu cabinet, opened the cabinet door below, took out two brocade boxes from inside, and placed them on the counter.

    When he opened it, Meng Zitao found that there was a diamond ax knife and a bronze cloisonn¨¦ enamel statue of a lady. At first glance, it was obvious that these two items were old items from the beginning, and they were both quite similar.  of preciousness.

    Seeing the exclamation on Meng Zitao's face, Qin Runyan smiled knowingly: "Brother, you should see it first before talking about it."

    "Then I'm welcome." Meng Zitao smiled and nodded. He first picked up the diamond sword.

    The Vajra Saber is a common instrument in Tibetan Buddhism, which represents the inviolability of the sacred Dharma and the intention to protect the Dharma.  Tibetan Buddhist statues of tiger-faced Dakini, lion-faced Dakini, and Yamantaka all have images of holding ax swords.

    The yue knife often has a sharp, flat blue iron body with a curved hook at the end.  Its original meaning was chopping, scraping, hooking and other actions, and later it was extended to mean the wisdom of cutting off all emotions and perceptions.  The sharp blade can completely destroy the two major "obstructions", namely the "obstruction of afflictions" and the "obstruction of knowledge", thereby achieving perfection.

    During practice, the blade of the sword can also cut off the six obscurations, namely "greed, breaking of precepts, anger, laziness, distraction, and ignorance", allowing people to enter a state of meditation.  In the hands of the angry Vajra, the yue knife symbolizes the method of destroying all concepts.

    This yue knife consists of two parts, and is made of iron. The first part is the five-cobalt vajra as the handle; the second part is the iron yue knife blade of Capricorn and its mouth. This combination is a typical Tibetan tradition.  Buddhist ritual instrument.

    The blade unfolded from Capricorn's mouth has a curved front end. The front and back of the blade are made of gold inlaid with the Vajra Mantra. The front is the eight-character mantra of Yamantaka. The hook is inscribed with Chinese characters "Da Ming Yongle Nian Shi" in regular script. The other side is  The body of the sword is inscribed with the eleven-character mantra of the Yamantaka Vajra fundamental mantra, and the hook of the sword is inlaid with gold inscriptions "Da Ming Yongle Nian Shi" Tibetan Pinyin.

    The overall structure and production process of this yue knife show the skillful craftsmanship and superb artistic level of the imperial craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. It is a model work of Tibetan Buddhist ritual instruments in the Ming Dynasty palace.  The intricate and exquisite patterns are densely covered with gold and silver craftsmanship, from the curly grass pattern of the cobalt cross to the densely covered scales of the capricorn, to the gold and dragon patterns, all of which reflect the pinnacle of its craftsmanship.

    Meng Zitao was simply amazed by this gold-steel yue-dagger. You must know that due to the complex iron-gold craftsmanship, even in the Ming Dynasty court, such a complicated gold-steel yue-dagger would be respected as a precious magical weapon.

    Moreover, more than six hundred years have passed. The statues and ritual objects that Emperor Yongle donated to Tibetan Buddhist leaders have experienced the baptism of the Jiajing Dynasty¡¯s actions of advocating Taoism and suppressing Buddhism, as well as wars, time, etc., and have been baptized.  Not one in a hundred can be saved.

    Although the yue knife is still circulated in the world, the gold and silver diamond yue knife with the inscription "Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty" has only been seen so far. Meng Zitao did not say that there is only such a knife in the world, at least he only saw this one.  , from which we can also see its preciousness.

    It can be said that even if there is still some gap in value with the Tang Yin work in Meng Zitao's hands, the difference is not big.

    Another bronze-bodied cloisonn¨¦ enamel lady statue is also a very precious collection. As an enamelware from the early Kangxi period, it was mainly made from the cloisonn¨¦ enamelware made by the imperial supervisor of the Ming Dynasty that remained in the palace.  The enamelware has pure colors, smooth glaze surface, fine and symmetrical filigree, and regular pattern layout. These advantages of blue and green directly affect the development of enamel craftsmanship in later generations.

    Meng Zitao thought about it in his mind and estimated that its value is about three to four million. Added together, it is about one million more than the value of Tang Yin's paintings.

    Of course, if Qin Runyan is willing, the price is not a loss. Moreover, Meng Zitao doesn¡¯t know how much Qin Runyan spent to buy these two items. If they are cheap, at least he will feel psychologically that he has made a profit.

    Meng ZitaoHe felt that there would be no one else except the master, which moved him deeply.

    After handing over the pistol, Meng Zitao asked Wei Hongliang about the investigation results. Zheng Zongxian told him that there were some clues, but judging from the clues, the other party might just be a porcelain repair master and not the person they were looking for.

    This made Meng Zitao a little disappointed, but also a little curious about the porcelain repair master, so he asked Zheng Zongxian to inform him after the investigation results were available.

    The night was uneventful. The next day, after temporarily depositing the gold-steel yoke and the statue of a lady in the bank, Meng Zitao and Dajun set off for yesterday's antique market.

    Originally, Meng Zitao wanted to visit this antique market yesterday, but unexpectedly he was delayed again, so he decided to go shopping today.

    Everything is almost the same as yesterday. Although it is not a weekend, the antique market is still quite lively. It is worthy of being the most popular antique market in Yingdu.  Of course, these days, good things are rare, and street stalls also have a mix of real and fake products, with less genuine products and more fakes.

    Meng Zitao walked around with Dajun and harvested a few gadgets, which were considered small gains. Meng Zitao was also quite satisfied with this. After all, big leaks like yesterday's cannot happen every day.

    After walking for a while, Meng Zitao came to a stall and saw that the stall was full. There was a row of porcelain in front, a pile of loose copper coins in the back, and several books containing copper coins.

    Meng Zitao looked around and found that most of the things on the stall were fake at first glance, so he lost interest. However, before he left, he still used his power to scan them and unexpectedly found that there were treasures in the pile of copper coins.

    If you don¡¯t pick up the leaks, you¡¯d be a fool. Meng Zitao said to the stall owner: ¡°Boss, let me take a look at the copper coins.¡±

    The stall owner nodded lightly and then chatted with the stall owner next to him.

    Meng Zitao selected among the copper coins, and soon found the target of the superpower, a Chongning Tongbao.

    Chongning Tongbao was minted in the Chongning year of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty.  There are three types: Chongning Tongbao, Chongning Chongbao and Chongning Yuanbao.  Chongning Tongbao is of ten types, and the money is written by Huizong personally, so it is also called imperial writing money.  The calligraphy on this coin is delicate and thin, with iron hooks and silver hooks, which are the true manifestations of Huizong Zhao Ji's thin gold calligraphy surviving in the world.

    However, this Chongning Tongbao is much thicker than the ordinary version, and the third point of the "heart" in the traditional Chinese character "Ning" is not a hook, but a stroke point, not a thin gold hook point. These are exactly  Characteristics of Chongning Tongbao Iron Mother.

    After Meng Zitao picked this Chongning Tongbao, he picked another ordinary Chongning Tongbao and prepared to inquire about the price.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
