Chapter 147: The emergence of Shang Dynasty jade scepters and Warring States bronze artifacts



Then everyone followed the blood trail left by the wild boar and finally found a very hidden cave on a steep mountain.

After replacing their weapons and ammunition, they each held a flashlight in their hands and gathered it into a strong beam of light to shine into the cave.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, I heard a series of angry "grunts" coming from inside. It was so sad to hear and it made me cry, but this is the law of survival of the fittest.

Without thinking twice, they followed the source of the sound and fired a burst of "bang! bang! bang!..." Finally, they stopped shooting after seeing two medium-sized wild boars and a small wild boar dying.

"Everyone, please be alert to prevent any emergencies." Black Wolf stood tightly in front of Mo Zhexuan, fearing that any accidents would occur.

"receive!"

“........”

Several people immediately formed a circle and explored in all directions. The cave was estimated to be about 10 square meters. It was not only pitch black, but also had the sound of dripping water.

If a timid person came to this eerie and scary place, he would probably be scared to death on the spot. Fortunately, there are a total of 11 strong men here.

"Wolf Team! Something's happening. There's a winding passage here." Suddenly, a team member shouted loudly.

"Xu Tao! Can you please stop making such a fuss? You scared me."

"Yes! It gave me great fear."

“.............”

Several people gathered together and looked at the dark and winding cave in silence. Although they were very curious, they also felt fear. After all, the unknown was the most terrifying.

"Mr. Mo! I think it's getting late. Why don't we go back first and come back another day to find out what's going on." Wang Yalin really wanted to go in and find out what was going on. Everyone has curiosity, and he was no exception. But he was afraid that Mo Zhexuan would be in danger.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Why would we be afraid? Today we will take a look at the true face behind this cave." Mo Zhexuan was also very curious about what was in the cave, and he was eager to try and enter first.

"Xu Tao! You were the first one to see this road, so you take the lead." Black Wolf ordered hurriedly.

"Got it!" Xu Tao complained helplessly in his heart after hearing this, but still took the lead and entered the cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, you will find that it is covered with dense stalactites. Water drops drip onto the ground along the stalactites, as quiet as a death warrant, which makes people feel cold.

The shapes of stalactites are also varied. Some are like conchs, some are like harps, and some fall vertically in rows like curtains.

Suddenly, a large group of bats above the heads of the cave made a "squeaking..." sound and rushed towards everyone, making everyone nervous. They hurriedly picked up their weapons and fired "bang bang bang!..."

"Stop shooting, this is a bat." After Black Wolf recognized the bat's identity, he immediately stopped it to prevent the cave from collapsing, which would have been the end of it.

"Everyone wait a moment! I found a piece of porcelain bowl." Xu Tao, who was walking in front, stopped immediately after discovering the piece of porcelain bowl.

"Jiang Lu! Take a look at what dynasty this porcelain bowl is from?" Mo Zhexuan took the fragment, looked at it for a few seconds, and handed it to a middle-aged man named Jiang Lu in the team.

It is said that Jiang Lu's ancestors were tomb raiders in China, and later came to Hong Kong when their family fell into poverty. He was influenced by his family and became very knowledgeable about antiques.

"Based on the patterns on the bottom of the bowl and its violet color, I believe this should be a work of art from the early Qin Dynasty. What a pity." The man named Jiang Lu carefully examined the fragments of the porcelain bowl with a flashlight, his expression full of seriousness. Finally, he confidently gave his judgment and sighed.

"Oh my god! It's from the Qin Dynasty. It must be thousands of years old!"

"Yes! How did the Qin Dynasty people get here at that time?"

"Haven't you heard about Xu Fu's voyage to the East? Maybe it's not groundless."

“................”

After discussing for a while, they continued to move forward. After walking for a while, they found a simple artificial stone wall across the cave, with a two-foot-wide passage in the middle of the stone wall.

After much effort, everyone squatted down and entered the stone wall, where they found human bones. Even Black Wolf, who had killed people before, was frightened when he suddenly saw them, let alone others.

After a careful search, I found a river. In the middle of the river, there were several black fish, about seven or eight of them.

"This isn't an underground river!"

"I think so too!"

"Come here quickly, there are bronze artifacts here." After Xu Tao, who was at the front, walked to the end, he found a silver-white light. After taking a closer look, it seemed to be a furnace. He exclaimed in surprise.

"This should be a cooking utensil from the Warring States Period. I can't tell which country it comes from. I didn't expect it to be preserved so well. It's not easy!" Jiang Lu held it in his hand with amazement. This has a history of thousands of years.

Cooking utensils are the earliest and most formal eating utensils in ancient times, which are equivalent to modern cooking plates. They are basically exclusive to the nobility.

Finally, after careful search, five bronze artifacts were discovered, namely, a diao dou, a zhi, an erbei, and a zun. This also means that there were people living here in the Warring States Period.

Of course, this is not the most important discovery. There were actually 4 jade adzes found, which are truly priceless treasures.

In the early days, the jade scepter was thought to be a military talisman, but it was eventually confirmed to be a bladed object from the Shang Dynasty. It had a blade on the upper part and a rectangular lower part with a protruding hoe tooth at the bottom.

After seeing these precious historical relics, Mo Zhexuan instantly remembered something. It seemed that in 1990, a large number of jade artifacts were discovered by archaeologists on Lamma Island, and the most eye-catching one was the jade adze.

It was well-known in the archaeological community at the time because these major discoveries showed that Hong Kong had already stepped into the threshold of culture thousands of years ago and had never been a cultural desert.

After a careful search, they found that there were indeed no precious antiques, so they set off on their journey home.

At the same time, in order to keep the secret, Mo Zhexuan issued a gag order to everyone and gave them a monetary reward. In this world, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If the secret is leaked.

Lamma Island will definitely become the focus of the world. By that time, it will be impossible for the Black Ice Security Company to avoid being leaked.
