Chapter 961 Chuan Guoxi was born

Carl Morris walked into the main hall of the North House, then put the alloy code box in his hand on the million-dollar Laohai Huang Baxian table. Thor Smith and Sean Hannington took out the key hanging around their necks and placed them on the table. Yang Jing also took out the key hanging around his neck, and then used the key to open the handcuffs on Carl Morris' wrist.

"Karl, you guys go out first, pay attention to the safety around you. Without my permission, this room can no longer be entered."

"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee that even a fly can't fly in here!" Morris rubbed his wrist with a smile, and said as he walked out with the other two bodyguards. After going out, he closed the door.

"Xiao Jing, open the box quickly." Master Liu said, rubbing his hands, and the other three masters were also a little impatient. At this time, they didn't understand. Today, my apprentice brought them here to see the house and those treasures were actually secondary. Yang Jing had already prepared to let the four of them see the imperial seal, but the four of them had been delayed for too long in the collections in the basement.

However, at this time, the four of them didn't care about complaining about their apprentices, and all their thoughts were placed in this small alloy password box.

This is the legendary jade seal of the kingdom!

Yang Jing nodded, grabbed the two keys on the table, inserted them into the two key holes of the alloy password box, and then rotated them three times. An inauspicious "click" sound came from the inside of the box.

Yang Jing let go of the key and began to enter the password on the password lock of the password box. He first entered a series of electronic passwords up to eleven on a small LCD screen, and then turned six mechanical password numbers from the password of another wheel. Then the small-looking alloy password box was completely opened.

This small alloy code box is not big, but it weighs more than 20 kilograms. The outer layer is made of extremely hard high-temperature resistant special high-strength alloy mixed with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. It can withstand high temperatures of 3,500 degrees. Even if the tracks of the main battle tank are pressed up, the box will not deform.

Then the box has four sets of locks. Only by opening these four sets of locks in sequence can the box be opened!

This alloy code box alone cost Yang Jing 160,000 US dollars!

Under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, the box was opened, and a large seal with white and green Chilong button immediately became in front of everyone.

The room fell into silence again, and the only sound was the heavy breathing of the other seven people except Yang Jing.

After a long time, Guo Xiaoxiang whispered: "Old Yang, is this the legendary imperial seal? It doesn't seem to be very good."

Although Guo Xiaoxiang's voice was small, it was like thunder in the quiet room. Master Liu glared at Guo Xiaoxiang fiercely, and then said dissatisfiedly: "What do you kid know? Don't talk nonsense!"

Guo Xiaoxiang shrank his head and stuck out his tongue, not daring to make a sound.

The four masters almost took out white gloves, reading glasses and magnifying glasses from their pockets. The second master, Mr. Xiao, said: "Xiao Jing, come here with a soft cushion. If there is no cushion, you can also carry the quilt on the bed. Let's put it underneath and get started!"

Before Yang Jing moved, Pete Wu, who was beside him, quickly opened the door and ran out. He could not tell that he was an old man over 70 years old.

After a while, Peter Wu walked in with a quilt, and spread the quilt on the Eight Immortals table.

At this time, the Huang Eight Immortals Table of the Ming Dynasty, which is worth millions, is nothing in the eyes of everyone. If this jade seal is really a national seal, then the table is considered a p-s! Not to mention anything else, this national seal can be placed on this table, probably the blessing of the table being cultivated for hundreds of years.

The master Liu Lao was dressed intact. He looked at the other three masters and then said solemnly: "Why don't I get started first?"

The second master, Mr. Xiao, said: "Old Liu, you are proficient in bronze and jade. You should get started first, let's watch from the side first."

Mr. Liu nodded, and then he carefully held up the imperial seal in both hands.

He first stretched out his arms and held the imperial seal with both hands to look carefully at it for a while, then he held the imperial seal in front of him and began to study it closely.

"Well, it's good, it's good! This jade seal is very consistent with what is recorded in historical books. The historical books say that this imperial jade seal is made of 'the best best Lantian jade, with a white color and a slightly green stripe, with a circle of four inches, which is about 11.2 cm today. The seal is written by Li Si in the fish and bird seal, "I will be ordered by heaven, and I will live forever." It is made by fine grinding and carving of Sun Shou, a jade worker in Xianyang. Now it seems that this jade seal is very consistent with the records in historical books."

Mr. Liu turned the jade seal slightly, and everyone's eyes fell on the corner made of gold. Mr. Guo, who was beside him, also said: "It is recorded that the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and the seal was passed on to Liu Han. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the relative Wang Mang usurped power. At that time, the seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother Wang Shun to search. The Empress Dowager was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal on the ground to break one corner. Later, Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold. This is the source of the famous "Gold-inlaid jade seal". Now it seems that this corner filled with gold is also very consistent with the records in history books."

Cai Yi leaned over to the front and pointed at the shoulder of the jade seal and said, "Old Liu, use a magnifying glass to look at this line of official script."

What Cai Yi means? Of course Mr. Liu understood, but he did not take action. He held the jade seal in both hands. He dared not let go of his hand and held the jade seal with one hand.

Xiao Lao, who was beside him, picked up the magnifying glass and placed it on the shoulder of the jade seal. Four white-haired heads immediately came up.

"'The Great Wei received the national treasures of the Han Dynasty', well, it's official script, and it's official script from the late Eastern Han Dynasty!" The second master, Mr. Xiao, was a master of calligraphy. He could naturally see the font of the seven characters at a glance, and could directly tell what style of the era it was.

Although official script originated in Qin, it was prosperous in the Han Dynasty. Especially by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, official script developed to its extreme. Therefore, official script at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a distinct style, which was quite different from official script in the Western Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty.

As one of the few calligraphy masters in China, Mr. Xiao naturally had a very clear understanding of the changes in official script. Moreover, in terms of his identity and status, since he said that the seven characters on the shoulder of this jade seal were official script from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, then this is almost the final answer.

Mr. Liu is proficient in jade and bronze ware, so he could naturally see what kind of jade this jade seal is used for. So he said: "The jade used for this jade seal is indeed the legendary best Lantian jade. Although Lantian jade is almost no longer visible now, I have seen two ornaments carved by Lantian jade in Nanbo and the Palace Museum in Momo North. I can determine the material used for this jade seal is Lantian jade."

Mr. Guo also nodded and said, "In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in the first year of Yankang of Emperor Xian of Han, Emperor Xian Liu Xie was forced to 'abdicate', Cao Pi established the Great Wei and changed the reign to Huangchu. However, Cao Pi was not upright in his country. In order to cover up the fact that he usurped the throne, he craftsmen carved the seven official characters "The Great Wei received the National Treasure of the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the jade seal, which was really intended to cover up. Judging from the seven characters engraved on this jade seal, it is very consistent with the situation recorded in historical books."

Four white-haired, almost three hundred years old, gathered together, and the jade seal held by the master Liu, in the middle, was a bit funny.

However, the four masters all looked solemn and their words were full of solemnity.

Mr. Liu said: "From the shape, materials and font, this jade seal is almost the same as the imperial seal recorded in historical books. Moreover, when I look at this jade seal, it gives people a solemn and generous charm. The most important thing is that the carving technique of this jade seal is obviously the carving technique of the Qin Dynasty. Although the Han Badao carving technique of the Han Dynasty developed from the carving technique of the Qin Dynasty and inherited the rough and generous style of the Qin Dynasty carving, the gap between the two is still relatively obvious. Therefore, I think this jade seal is most likely from the Qin Dynasty!"

Although Mr. Liu did not explicitly say that this was the imperial seal that Li Si ordered to create, in the Qin Dynasty, who dared to risk losing his head to carve such a jade seal? Moreover, ordinary counterfeiters could not get such a top-quality Lantian jade. So Mr. Liu said this almost meant that he believed that this jade seal was the imperial seal.

Mr. Guo also nodded, but he did not express his opinion, but obviously agreed with Mr. Liu's words.

However, Cai Yi retorted: "Old Liu and Lao Guo, this matter cannot be concluded so early. You should know that after the disappearance of the imperial seal at the end of the Tang Dynasty, many emperors in later generations have imitated a lot of imperial seals. After all, it was copied by the royal family himself. Perhaps they could make the imperial seal with fake and real ones? Therefore, I think it is better to conduct a carbon 14 measurement before drawing a conclusion."

"Carbon 14? Just kidding! This is the imperial seal, who dares to take samples from it?" Mr. Guo threw out a sentence, and the four of them were silent.

Carbon 14 identification is a very scientific identification method, but in the same way, if you want to conduct Carbon 14 identification, you must sample the items to be identified. It might be okay if it is another item, but this is the imperial seal. Who dares to take samples on it? Even if it is only a small amount of it, who dares to do such a thing?

They dared to take samples from any other treasures for carbon 14 identification, but to be honest, even the four of them dared not move.

The meaning of the imperial seal is too great! Apart from the legendary Nine Cauldrons of Dayu, there is nothing more important than this imperial seal in the five thousand years of history of China!

The imperial seal is no longer as simple as a national treasure. The meaning represented by this jade seal is simply immeasurable! Therefore, no one dares to take action on it.

Mr. Xiao was silent for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Jing: "Xiao Jing, have you cleaned this jade seal? Also, where did you find this jade seal?"

Hearing the second master, Mr. Xiao, Yang Jing then let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Four masters, I thought you forgot me!"

Master Liu gently put down the jade seal and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and talk about everything about this jade seal, don't miss it!"
