These large wooden boxes all had copper lock noses and lock buckles, with large copper locks hanging on them. However, these lock noses and locks were covered with green copper rust, and Yang Jing only needed to apply a little force to break the lock noses and lock buckles.

These wooden boxes have been here for at least four hundred years, and it would be strange if the lock noses and lock buckles exposed outside did not rust and break. In this environment, these metal products are not as resistant to decay as the dark wood.

Yang Jing opened the lid of the box and found that the box was made of nearly an inch thick, or about three centimeters thick, dark wood. The weight of the box alone was estimated to be three to four hundred kilograms. The dark wood of Phoebe nanmu is very heavy and sinks as soon as it enters the water.

This box is indeed made of golden nanmu dark wood, the inside is the same as the outside, without a trace of decay. In the original time and space, the price of golden nanmu dark wood plummeted a lot, but this kind of wood is so rare that such a good board can be brought back and used to make furniture even if it is not sold. Its value is definitely higher than those mahogany furniture.

After opening the box, what caught Yang Jing's eyes was a layer of light yellow tung oil paper. The tung oil paper was tied with hemp rope, but the hemp rope had long since rotted and broken. However, the oil paper was still in good condition and there was no sign of rotting.

Gently peeling off the oil paper, Yang Jing found another layer of tung oil paper underneath. After peeling off three layers of tung oil paper, a layer of bright yellow silk was revealed. This bright yellow also shocked Yang Jing. In the feudal society of China, this color was only used by the royal family. Obviously, the things in these wooden boxes must have come from the royal family, otherwise, except for those rebels, no one would dare to use silk of this color.

Perhaps because of the protection of the three layers of tung oil paper on the outside, this layer of bright yellow silk did not show any signs of decay. This made Yang Jing secretly happy. If all this silk could be preserved, then the things inside could naturally be preserved intact as well.

There is only one layer of silk, and after gently peeling it off, the items inside are completely revealed.

There were scrolls of paintings in there. Yang Jing picked up one at random, opened it carefully, and when he saw the inscriptions, his heart was filled with excitement.

This turned out to be "Lonely Orchid" by Xu Wei, one of the three talented scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Jing had only seen this painting mentioned in some historical records, but had never heard of it being handed down.

Now, this painting actually appeared in front of him, how could Yang Jing not be extremely excited? This was Xu Wei's painting, its value was inestimable!

This painting is well preserved. It not only has Xu Wei's own inscriptions on it, but also many appreciation and collection seals. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary piece.

Yang Jing suppressed his excitement, gently put the painting away, and threw it directly into the space. In this case, it is best not to expose such precious paintings to the air for a long time. Who knows what kind of reaction these paintings will have when they are exposed to the outside air after being placed for such a long time.

Although it seemed that nothing bad had happened just now, Yang Jing didn't dare to take the risk. The safest way was to put the painting directly into the space.

Then he grabbed another scroll and gently opened it. It turned out to be another work by Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, but it was not a painting but a piece of calligraphy, which was Su Dongpo's famous "Red Cliff Fu".

This calligraphy is written in cursive script. The whole piece of characters is elegant and generous, like a flying dragon in the sky or an antelope hanging on a horn. Even someone like Yang Jing who doesn't know much about cursive script feels very comfortable after reading it.

Isn’t cursive script what Xu Wei is best at?

Just one painting and one calligraphy piece made Yang Jing's heart beat fast, not to mention that there were more scrolls in the box.

Just by looking at these two works, Yang Jing knew that the box probably contained some priceless calligraphy and paintings. He didn't bother to observe them carefully and put all the scrolls into the storage space.

After putting all the scrolls into the storage space, Yang Jing felt relieved. He sat down on the wooden box and began to take out the scrolls one by one.

When he opened a scroll, Yang Jing's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"This calligraphy is actually Xie Jin's "Ode to Rivers", and it's in cursive script..."

"Oh my god, this calligraphy is also the small regular script of Grand Secretary Xie Jin's "Calligraphy of Song Dynasty Poems". I only knew that Grand Secretary Xie had left behind the calligraphy of "Calligraphy of Tang Dynasty Poems", but I never thought that this extremely talented Grand Secretary could also write Song Dynasty poems. This is really incredible, incredible!"

"Hey, this is Tang Bohu's "Lushan Pines". The size of this painting seems to be larger than the "Lushan Waterfall" that was sold for 590 million US dollars. If I take it back, wow..."

"This calligraphy is also by Tang Bohu. Let me take a look. Oh my god, it is Tang Bohu's own poem, "Lamenting the World." He wrote the poem himself. This calligraphy is also a priceless treasure!"

"This painting is a landscape painting by Dong Qichang..."

"This painting is Wen Zhengming's "Proud Plum Blossoms"..."

"It's still Wen Zhengming's handwriting..."

"This is a piece of calligraphy from Yang Shen's "Sheng'an Long and Short Poems"..."

"Oh, is this Dong Qichang's "Yanshan Xing"? "

“Is this Ni Zan’s “Ink Bamboo Painting”?”

......

Every time Yang Jing took out a scroll from the space, his heart would tremble a few times, but he got used to it.
