Chapter 56 Four Plum Vases
Wang Lele went on to say: "For more than a year, we have conducted many investigations but failed to find any results. We only analyzed that the skinless person in the picture may be a blood corpse. But what is this green ghost-like face? But there is no way to know. Just when we were hesitating whether to send another scientific expedition team, you showed up with a plum bottle."

Speaking of this, Wang Lele glanced at Chen Ziyang who was sitting next to him, "After our identification, your Baishou plum vase and the Baixi plum vase in the picture should be of the same origin, thank you very much for providing us with The clues let us know that this tomb has a lot to do with the Qing Dynasty."

"Following the clue of the plum vase, we continued to investigate. From the time you sold us the plum vase to now, in the past few months, we finally traced the origin of this set of plum vases."

"Set?" Chen Ziyang asked in surprise. If the word "set" is used, it means that there are not only two plum vases. If there are two, then Wang Lele will use "pair" as the quantifier .

"That's right, it's a set. There are four plum vases in total. The characters on them are Fu, Lu, Xi, and Shou. Look at this plum vase again." After Wang Lele finished speaking, he handed the Baishou plum vase to Chen. Zi Yang.

Ever since he got the plum bottle, Chen Ziyang didn't look at the bottle carefully because he was afraid of damaging the bottle.It was the first time he took a serious look at the treasure he had bought from Wang Lele at this time.

"Look at the words on the surface of this bottle, what's so special about it." Under Wang Lele's guidance, Chen Ziyang discovered that every blue and white word "Shou" on the bottle is protruding.How the word "Shou" is written, the outline of the character will be raised as much as possible, not too much, not too little.It seems that this plum vase should be fired with blue and white material painted on it after repairing the longevity character with mud.

I don't know how these characters are raised, whether they are glued on with mud strips, or they were trimmed by hand to make them look like this.Although Chen Ziyang knew very little about porcelain, he could also tell that the workmanship of this plum vase was absolutely extraordinary.

"This purely manual method of embossing characters has been lost for hundreds of years now. Even if there are imitations, they are all made by machine molding. The traces of the machine on the bottle are obvious. Natural beauty is incomparable. There were never more than three craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty who were able to achieve this level of craftsmanship. We searched for a long time, and my father found the information about these plum vases from the ancient books in the Forbidden City. clue."

"When Kangxi got married, all the well-known craftsmen in JDZ showed their housekeeping skills, hoping to take this opportunity to become famous and become Kangxi's imperial porcelain burner. At that time, there was a craftsman surnamed Yao in JDZ. This set of plum vases was fired. However, because the color of the blue and white plum vases was too plain and did not meet the requirements of Kangxi’s wedding, this set of plum vases was not selected. It is precisely for this reason that this set of porcelain has no bottom payment."

"However, Kangxi, who liked porcelain since he was a child, was deeply attracted by the exquisiteness of this set of porcelain, so he kept these bottles. According to ancient records, in the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi organized an imperial artisan The competition included all aspects from architecture to handicrafts. Among them, four people stood out, and their skills were all top-notch in all aspects, so Kangxi, who was eager for talent, awarded all four of them No.1. "

"Kangxi gave this set of plum vases to each of the four of them. These four people are Cardinal Wang, the number one craftsman in the Qing Dynasty, Yu Yunlu, the number one skilled hand in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Qianliang, the number one craftsman in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Qianliang, the number one craftsman in the Qing Dynasty. Li Weidong was the first cut knife in the Qing Dynasty. But what is more strange is that these four people seemed to disappear out of thin air in the late Kangxi period, and there are no records about them in various classics."

Hearing this, Chen Ziyang knew that the clue Wang Lele got should be true.This coincides with the clues he found in the tomb of Yu Yuhualong in shallow water. "According to what you said, this plum vase is indeed of great significance to you! If I had known earlier, I would have asked you for 200 million more."

"Even if you want 2000 million, I will give it to you." Wang Lele said with a smile, and Chen Ziyang saw in his eyes that he was cheap and showed off obediently.

"With this clue, we inferred that one of the four craftsmen was appointed to the Eastern Dynasty in the late Kangxi period to help the Eastern Dynasty build this mausoleum. After all, at that time, the Eastern Dynasty was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty .”

"But you have said so much, what does this have to do with me?" Chen Ziyang couldn't understand why Wang Lele told him these secrets.

"In the past few months, I have investigated you, but I didn't expect you to be the disciple of Master Bo Chi."

Chen Ziyang, who was a little impatient at first, became interested again when he heard Wang Lele mention the old way of eating for nothing. This was the first time he heard about his master from others.

"Daoist Bo Chi is known as the No. [-] Daoist in Guangdong. He is well-known far and wide. He is proficient in the technique of searching for dragons and acupoints, the technique of subjugating demons and eliminating ghosts, and the hexagram technique of Zhouyi. Many people spend a lot of money just to get his advice, but No one expected that Daoist Bo Chi, whose career was flourishing, would suddenly disappear, and he would go to your hometown to live in seclusion and take you as his apprentice."

"As far as we know, you have studied art with Taoist Bo Chi for 10 years and are his only descendant. You must have obtained his true biography. We plan to excavate this tomb again, and you have also seen how big this tomb is in the video. The danger is so dangerous, we want to borrow your ability, if you have any conditions, you can mention them, we can discuss them."

Hearing this, Chen Ziyang laughed and said: "It seems that your investigation is not so detailed. You also want to borrow my half-baked level? Is it true that no one can use you, or is everyone else aware of the danger of this tomb? I don't want to help you. I'm not married yet, and I still want to save my life to marry a wife, not to mention you have nothing to buy me off."

"Chen Daochang is humble. You were able to get this Baishou plum vase out of the tomb. Presumably your ability is not as good as you said! I know Chen Daochang, you are aloof, and there is nothing that can buy you, and your father's The illness has been cured, and you have no worries, but aren't you curious about the whole thing?"

Chen Ziyang knew that since they could even find out that their master was Bo Chi Daoist, it was normal for them to know that he came to BJ to treat his father.

It was the first time he heard someone calling him Daoist, and Chen Ziyang felt ecstatic.But when I recalled the danger of shallow water in Yuhualong's tomb.He quickly got up and shook his head and said:
"It's not worth losing your life because of curiosity. You are right. That skinless person is a blood corpse. Blood corpses are powerful. I think you all know it well. And that green face is comparable to blood corpses." It will be a hundred times more powerful, and I would like to advise you, you should not go to this tomb. Believe me, this is your thanks for helping me solve my father's medical expenses, please consider my advice carefully."

After saying these words, Chen Ziyang turned around and left, leaving Wang Lele with a dazed expression on his face.
