However, he left this matter to Jin Chong. What he cared about most now was the Heshi Bi jade seal that Lu Guansheng brought back!
"Let's go to the appraisal room!" The front desk of the club reported that Jin Chi had arrived.
While explaining the treasure-retrieving process and the photos of the tomb, Lu Guansheng opened the password box on the appraisal table.
Of course, this process was made up by Lu Guansheng, and it is both true and false.
He told them that after consulting Master Cheng to learn about the history of the Later Tang Dynasty, they were basically certain that the jade seal was a burial item of Li Congke when he committed self-immolation.
Unofficial history records that only a few loyal servants were still guarding the palace at that time, and then the body was secretly transported out and buried, so it would not be buried far away.
Surveying the woodlands near the former palace site, he located areas with the types of vegetation that tend to thrive near corpses.
After scanning, the body was found, but it had become a skeleton, placed in a heavy sandalwood box.
As for why it was a big box instead of a coffin, it was because Li Congke and Empress Liu died in each other's arms.
A normal coffin wouldn't fit, and there was no time or money to build a double coffin. Furthermore, the deceased was the most important person, and separate burials might damage the integrity of the remains.
Such a thing was a taboo for superstitious people at that time. Shi Jingtang was concerned about this and did not move the bodies of the two men, so he did not find the jade seal he was looking for.
"This black stuff is all charcoal ash. The corpse was so tightly wrapped around it that it didn't burn to pieces." Lu Guansheng pointed at the black jade in the box. "I'm not a professional, so I didn't dare to clean it up. I just brought it back like this!"
After listening to Lu Guansheng's explanation, Jin Chi turned on the camera to record the entire process of cleaning and identification.
This box can be flattened, and after fully revealing the contents, Jin Chi began the preliminary cleaning.
A professional cleaning brush swept through the carbon ash, layer by layer. Bit by bit, the jade revealed its original emerald green color.
Jade needs to be preserved with water. This Heshi Bi, having been burned by the fierce fire, is now dull and lifeless.
Jin Chi turned on the pure water spray gun on the firm table and used low-pressure water mist to slowly wash away the dust on the jade.
This process was very long, and Lu Guansheng didn't do much research. He just sat there drinking tea and waiting for the results.
Qian Jiujin was different. A lover of antiques, he stood at the appraisal table, carefully watching and waiting for his treasure to regain its glory, not missing a single detail.
An hour later, the water became completely clear, and Jin Chi picked up the jade seal and began to polish it.
Finally, after another period of holding their breath, a flawless emerald green jade seal appeared in front of the three people.
