Chapter 738 The magic weapon that symbolizes the structure of the universe

It's a new day, the sun is shining outside, shining in through the gaps in the curtains.Qin Sirui curled up in Li Mo's arms, her black hair covered her flawless face.

Li Mo wanted to get up quietly, but when he moved his arm, Si Rui snorted.

"Lie down a little longer and let me hug you."

Qin Sirui immediately turned over like an octopus and was about to lie down on him, when suddenly she touched something with her hand, and rolled the quilt to the side.

"Bad guy, you tossed and tossed so long last night, why are you still...I haven't slowed down yet."

Li Mo giggled, then shook his arms and said, "This shows that your husband is full of energy and blood, and he is in excellent health. You sleep a little longer, I'm going to get up and go to the treasure house."

"Well, I'll squint for a while."

Li Mo got up quickly, dressed and washed.Qin Sirui poked his head out of the bed to look at the back of him leaving, stuck out his tongue, wrapped the quilt up and fell asleep again.

"Mr. Li, are you coming back for lunch?"

"No, make me a big braised fish head tonight."

"Good."

"Uncle Wang, where are my mother and two children?"

"The weather is good, we all went out to bask in the sun to promote calcium absorption."

"Okay, keep Si Rui warm for breakfast, eat it after she wakes up, and stew some bird's nest for her."

"Okay, I'm ready now."

When Li Mo arrived at the main building of Gu Yunxuan, everyone else had already arrived.The museum is closed today, and the gate of Xiang Yu Treasure Museum, the overlord of Western Chu next door, is already full of tourists waiting to enter the museum.

"Boss, all the preparations are done, just wait for you. In order to facilitate the live broadcast and live viewing, I will ask someone to move out five boxes from the underground treasure house first."

The brown bear was waiting for him at the door.

"Has the official sent a representative?"

"There are three people from the Cultural Affairs Bureau."

"Okay, let's go in."

Li Mo and Brown Bear took the elevator to the third floor. There was a huge conference room above, and the original conference table had been dismantled.

"Hello, Associate Professor Li."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Hi boss."

Those who participated in the treasure opening included experts from Peking University, Qing University, experts from other museums, official representatives, and friends watching.

Seeing that Sima Haotian was there, Li Mo said with a smile: "Everything is going well, we are all friends, if you need help, just ask."

"Thank you for everything you have done for me. At present, I have officially joined the History Department of Renmin University of China, but I will not arrange courses until the new semester. Now I am mainly doing theoretical research."

"Let's talk about other things later, and you will be my assistant later."

"Just waiting for your words."

There were five tin boxes in the middle of the hall. Because of the humidity in the cave, the surface was covered with rust. The two live broadcast cameras were aimed at the middle, just avoiding a group of people watching the scene.

The tools used by brown bears are hydraulic shears, which are available in different sizes. He first cuts off a few fixed iron belts outside, and then carefully breaks through the corners of the alley, using this as a breakthrough to slowly cut off the top surface.

A piece of iron sheet on the top was put aside, and there was a layer of black stuff covering the top.Sima Haotian picked up a piece and looked at it and said, "This is cotton."

Li Mo put on his gloves, peeled off a layer of black cotton, and saw a pair of long ivory underneath.

There are a lot of ivory products now, but they have been prohibited from being sold in the market. What Li Mo has in his hands are also antique ivory ornaments. This is the first time he has come across such a complete ivory.

"This pair of ivory is white in color, fine in texture, and fine in texture. You can see that the surface of this ivory reveals a warm tone in the milky white. The luster is extremely soft and the quality is very high. It is undoubtedly ivory from Africa."

Judging from the size, it is more than 80 centimeters long. It is estimated that it was once placed in the Yuanmingyuan as an ornament.It doesn't matter when it was picked from the elephant, after all, it is now a forbidden item.

"A pair of clear ivory."

Zheng Bin was taking notes next to him, and he was busy registering the list into an online system.

Sima Haotian placed a pair of pure white ivory in another custom-made box, protected it, and wrote a label on it.

A wooden board is pressed under the ivory, and when the wooden board is taken out, it is protected by a layer of black cotton.

After Li Mo pulled it apart, there were actually two pairs of complete rhino horns placed at the bottom.

Rhinoceros horns are broadly conical, tapering upwards from the bottom, slightly flattened at the top, and blunt and slightly curved at the top.The horn is about 35 cm long, the surface is black, and the lower part is gradually lighter, showing taupe.

"Two pairs of Asian rhino horns."

Such precious African ivory and Asian rhino horn were unearthed from the first tin box, which aroused the enthusiasm of all present.

Especially in the live broadcast room, the waves of gifts are overwhelming the screen. It is estimated that such precious antiques can only be matched with the grand occasion of Yuanmingyuan back then.

The staff took the first tin box, and then the second box was moved to the camera.Under the operation of the brown bear, the contents inside were quickly exposed. The objects were large and small, wrapped with cotton layer after layer, and then wound and fixed with thread.

Li Mo first took out a slightly larger object from inside, and carefully cut it open with scissors to reveal his true face.

An antique that looks like a round box, Li Mo's first reaction is that this is not a box used by a concubine for decorations, right?But then he denied this idea, because the boxes used to hold jewelry in history are generally made of precious wood, such as golden nanmu, Canaan wood, lobular red sandalwood, Hainan huanghuali wood, etc.

The round box in front of me is about 32 centimeters high and [-] centimeters long. It is gold-plated and inlaid with turquoise. The upper rock mouth is inlaid with red coral beads. It is extremely precious and not an ordinary antique.

Li Moyi swept his pupils, and the round box emitted a dark gray halo, and then the world in front of him was covered with a halo of light. This is an antique from the early Qing Dynasty.

"Professor Sima, come and take a look, I can't identify what kind of antique it is for the time being."

Sima Haotian held it in his hand and took a closer look and said, "I once saw the records about this object in an old inventory table in the Wandao Museum. This should be a gold-plated mandala inlaid with coral and turquoise."

"Mandala?" When Li Mo heard this word, a description about it emerged in his mind, "This is a magic weapon used by Tibetan Buddhism to symbolize the structure of the universe!"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, the mandala in our hands was a gift from the Dalai Lama V to Emperor Shunzhi in the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, which shows the close political and religious ties between the Qing Dynasty and Xinjiang at that time. "

"Professor Sima, please tell us the details about this mandala. Many netizens are very interested in comparing it."

An anchor smiled and made a request.

Sima Haotian glanced at Li Mo, who also nodded, and then he held the mandala and said to the camera: "The mandala plate is a common utensil for XZ, representing the multiple levels of the world, and various grains and grains are placed on the plate. tribute."

"On the top of the mandala plate, the large round flower decoration in the center represents the layers of steps of Mount Sumeru, the axis of the world. It is surrounded by four continents of Brahmanism, and each continent is composed of three small islands. The horn-shaped west is Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the north is south. Zhanbuzhou is generally rectangular, Xiniuhuozhou in the east is circular, and Beijuluzhou in the south is square."

"These islands are represented by carefully inlaid turquoise stones, interspersed with four purely decorative leaf-shaped turquoise stones. The mandala plate features a large number of leaf decorations, and there are eight auspicious signs of Tibetan Buddhism, which are precious umbrellas. , Goldfish, Aquarius, Miaolian, Right-handed Conch, Auspicious Knot, Victory Banner and Golden Wheel. Purely Chinese motifs such as mirrors, tribute bowls and three-legged stoves were added to this.”

Sima Haotian tried his best to slow down his speech so that everyone could hear him clearly.
