City Invincible Medical Saint

Li Tianchen said: "This drunken bronze statue of Li Bai was originally an object from the Tang Dynasty. It was later wiped once during the Ming Dynasty. Most of the marks on it were removed, but it is still vaguely visible. You can put the Ming Dynasty Xuan on the back. Look carefully next to the German mark."

With that said, Li Tianchen stepped forward and pointed to the specific location.

Everyone came forward, and one of them held the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai under the light, and even picked up a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.

After a while, the person closest to him said in surprise: "It seems there really is."

Ji Lao's face changed slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Well, there is a mark, it seems to be the word Dongwang."

"The bronzes of the Tang Dynasty are not very famous, but Li Bai was still famous at that time. It is also possible to cast this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai. The seal has the word Dongwang, which should refer to the mythical Duke Dongwang."

"Speaking of which, it is possible that this ancient artifact is a bronze from the Tang Dynasty."

"It's too hasty to judge the time based on this shallow mark."

…

Zheng Yingbo asked strangely: "Why do you see the mark on it?"

He couldn't see it even as he sat there with his eyes wide open, but these experts in the antique industry could only vaguely see it using magnifying glasses.

Li Tianchen smiled faintly. His eyesight was naturally far superior to ordinary people, but this was difficult to explain.

"It is of course careless to just rely on the mark, but you can take a look at the base. The base looks like a natural match to the statue, but in fact it was added after the Ming Dynasty. After wiping it, you can see that the color of the base is consistent with the statue. Difference." Li Tianchen reminded: "Or you can use special instruments to see that these are two slightly different materials."

This time, the expressions of everyone present finally changed, and they looked at Li Tianchen differently from before. They put away their arrogance and looked squarely at the young man in front of them.

Guan Guoan glanced at Li Tianchen in shock, then walked over quickly, picked up the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai, and ran to an instrument in the corner.

Everyone gathered around, and Mr. Ji couldn't sit still and walked over. wavv

I saw an infrared scan, and an image appeared on the screen. After some scanning and analysis, the image indeed showed that there were some differences between the base of the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai and the bronze statue.

"It's actually true."

"This young man is not simple, he has such vicious eyes."

"Items from the Tang Dynasty were restored once in the Ming Dynasty. No wonder we all missed it."

"The value of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai, I'm afraid..."

…

Everyone looked shocked. After looking at each other, no one spoke, but they all looked at Guan Guoan with envy.

Such an antiquities dating from two eras itself gives different added value to ordinary antiquities. As a result, the price will naturally increase, making it a rare treasure.

Guan Guoan still didn't understand and was ecstatic.

Mr. Ji's expression was ugly. Li Tianchen actually got it right. This was a slap in the face. He was a highly respected and consistent person in the Hong Kong antique industry, but at this moment he was disgraced.

"Forgive me for my blindness, but I wonder which master's disciple you are?"

Mr. Ji looked at Li Tianchen with deep eyes.

In his opinion, only some extremely high-status masters in the antique world could train such powerful disciples.

Li Tianchen smiled faintly, "I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any masters. I just make discoveries occasionally. I don't know much about antiques."

Mr. Ji's cheeks were burning. He didn't know much, but he could see through the mystery of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai at a glance. So what do they mean to these old guys who have been immersed in antiques for decades?

"How do you conclude that this is something from the Tang Dynasty?"

Ji Lao was still unconvinced.

Just based on the difference in mark and material, we can only say that Li Tianchen has amazing eyesight and high attainments, but it cannot be proved that this drunken sculpture of Li Bai is a work of the Tang Dynasty.

Guan Guoan's excited expression gradually calmed down, and he looked at Li Tianchen, "Yes, brother, how do you conclude that it is from the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone present looked at Li Tianchen with doubts in their eyes.

Li Tianchen was calm and composed, and said calmly: "The style of this drunken bronze statue of Li Bai is quite Tang Dynasty style. I think you are all experts and have already seen this. The word Dong Wang is not the common Dong Wang Gong. Dongwang Temple.”

"Dongwang Temple?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Ji Lao said in a deep voice: "Dongwang Temple? Young man, if you carve the name of the temple on this bronze statue, let alone whether it is true or not, how can you prove the three words "Dongwang Temple"? Now it can only be vaguely seen on it. The two characters are Dongwang."

Several other old people in the antique world nodded. It would be understandable if the one who was engraved was the East Prince. After all, many ancient objects would be engraved with the legends of the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West. But Dongwang Temple, this is clearly the name of a temple, and Li Tianchen has no evidence, this seems too far-fetched and cannot convince the public.

Li Tianchen walked over and took the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai from Guan Guoan. He gently fumbled for the wine bottle behind the bronze statue, where the shallow mark of the word "Dong Wang" was found.

Li Tianchen took out the Xuanbing needle from the mustard bag and scraped the bottom of the wine bottle with the tip of the needle. The old patina was scraped away, and a word was gradually revealed.

"temple!"

Li Tianchen raised the bronze statue of Li Bai's drunkenness and showed the inscription "Miao" underneath it to everyone.

"It actually has the word temple in it."

"This word is actually hidden in the patina. No wonder I didn't see it just now."

"Tsk, tsk, I have been studying antiques for decades, and this is the first time I have seen this strange verification method."

"We didn't see it, so how did he do it?"

…

Everyone was talking a lot, looking at Li Tianchen with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

Li Tianchen continued to scrape with the Xuanbing needle for a while, and the words "Tongling in the Second Year of the Tang Dynasty" gradually appeared under the wine pot.

When all the fonts were revealed, Li Tianchen put away the Xuanbing Needle and placed the drunken bronze statue of Li Bai on the table. "Can you confirm now that this bronze is from the second year of the Tang Dynasty?"

Ji Lao's expression changed again, but it was different from before. There was a little more shock in the ugly expression.

He had only discovered some clues just now, but he was not sure about it, especially since he didn't know there were writings hidden in the patina under the flask.

"How do you know there is writing underneath?" Ji Lao stared at Li Tianchen and asked in a deep voice, "Did you know about it before?"

Li Tianchen said calmly: "The facts prove that I am right. As for why I know it, there is no need to tell you." After saying that, he turned to look at Guan Guoan, "Boss Guan, I want to buy a few antiques. Is it convenient?" ?”

Seeing that Li Tianchen was ignoring him, Mr. Ji turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger. He was respected in the Hong Kong antique industry, but he had never been so despised, especially as a young man.

Guan Guoan was both impressed and shocked by Li Tianchen at the moment, and immediately said: "Of course, you can choose the items I have here, the price is easy to negotiate."
