Chapter 17 The Miracle of the Forgotten World

Li Mo walked out of the store with the double-eared celadon vase in his arms. He happily spent another hundred yuan on the roadside to ask a stall owner to help him pack it carefully to avoid accidentally bumping it.

"Master, where are you?"

In the taxi, Li Mo called Yanagawa Kei's mobile phone. He was very anxious. Once this celadon vase is released, it is likely to cause shock in the antique and cultural circles.

"I'm a guest at Professor Zhu's house. Xiao Mo, have you returned to the hotel?"

When Li Mo heard this, he was so sleepy that he had a pillow. He himself confirmed that it was an authentic product of the Ming Dynasty royal family, but it relied on strange pupils. If you want to be recognized by the world, you must go through a series of normal identification procedures, and Professor Zhu is like this

authority in the matter.

"Master, you have to be mentally prepared. I have made a big discovery in Panjiayuan. If the matter is urgent, I will go directly to you."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds before Yanagawa Kei's urgent voice was heard: "Xiao Mo, you take a taxi to Kyoto University and I'll pick you up at the door. Be careful."

By the time the taxi stopped at the entrance of Kyoto University, it was already dark, the stars were hanging high, and the lights were dim.

When Li Mo got off the car, he saw Yanagawa Kei looking outside the door.

"Master."

"Xiao Mo." Yanagawa Kei came over in a hurry. Li Mo was so frightened that he hugged the celadon vase and shouted, "Master, keep your distance."

"I'm shocked. Why do you want to keep a distance, baby?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Li Mo walked in front, and Yanagawa Keiji trailed half a step behind. "Master, have you seen celadon glaze porcelain in the Ming Dynasty with single-color glaze? That kind of green and black glaze color."

"The porcelain firing technology in the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. Among the single-color glazes, there are white glaze, yellow glaze, blue glaze, red glaze and sauce glaze. As for the celadon glaze you mentioned, I have never seen even green and black glaze porcelain.

."

"Master, among the two-color glaze porcelain, have you ever seen or heard of porcelain with the same color glaze both inside and outside?"

Yanagawa Qing was breathing heavily. If Li Mo hadn't reminded him to keep his distance, he would have rushed up to grab it and take a closer look.

"It is more common to use blue glaze with another glaze color to make two-color glaze porcelain. Among them, red glaze and sauce glaze two-color glaze porcelain are the most precious, but most of them are collected in famous foreign museums. What you said

There is currently no such specimen of porcelain with the same glaze color on the outside. Xiao Mo, what kind of subversive treasure did you pick up?"

Yes, this is a discovery that absolutely overturns history.

It was only when Li Mo got it that he discovered that it was a two-color glaze. He carefully identified that the celadon glaze inside was slightly lighter, but because of the shadow, the inside and outside looked like glazes of the same color.

"you guess."

"You're guessing. You've grown up, and you still want me to guess."

Out of habit, Yanagawa Kei stretched out his hand to knock his head off, but suddenly he retracted his hand, and he was so frightened that he broke into a sweat. If he accidentally startled him, or if he accidentally slipped his hand due to fright, the consequences would be disastrous.

The campus of Peking University was full of romance at night. Along the way, I saw many pairs of top students laughing and chatting. Li Mo was so envious. This was the kind of university life he wanted, free and romantic.

"Xiao Mo, Professor Zhu lives in the duplex villa in front. His cousin is here today. You know him, he is Vice President Zhu of the Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Association, as well as Professor Yu from Qing University and Renmin University of China who are interviewing together today.

Professor He."

"Very good."

Li Mo couldn't help but get excited. The three major professors were all here, and they happened to make a scientific appraisal of the amphora vase. He planned to collect this authentic Ming Dynasty vase for himself.

Yanagawa Kei rang the doorbell, and the person who opened the door was an old lady with a dignified manner and a peaceful expression.

"This is Li Mo, my useless apprentice."

The old lady looked at Li Mo with a smile and said, "This guy is energetic."

"Hello, Mrs. Zhu." Li Mo saluted respectfully.

"Come in quickly, Lao Zhu and the others are almost impatient."

Li Mo walked to the living room, where Professor Zhu and the others were drinking tea and chatting. When they heard the sound, they turned to look over.

"Hello, Professor Zhu, Professor He, Professor Yu, President Zhu."

"You are so polite at home. How can you make yourself comfortable? President Zhu can praise you a lot. I even picked up a pair of master Xu Beihong's original paintings of 'Double Horses' before. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see the master's original style." Zhu

The professor put the things on the dining table aside, waved and said, "Don't stand there, take out the good things you picked up in Panjiayuan, and let us pass by."

Li Mo carefully took out the amphora and placed it on the table.

"Hey, it's a black bottle. Don't take it wrong, Li Mo. There's nothing special about it." President Zhu stretched his head and took a look, a little disappointed. Except for the rare color, the style is relatively common.

Professor Zhu Changping was more serious. He first observed for a few minutes, sliding his fingers around the mouth of the bottle, and then looked at the base with a thoughtful look on his face. "Professor Yu, Professor He, you also palm the eyes. This

interesting."

Professor Yu carefully picked up the amphorae, looked at the restaurant lights, and observed the glaze from several angles.

"It's amazing, it's amazing.

"Professor Yu, don't be so surprised, let me take a look." Professor He felt as uncomfortable as being scratched. Judging from the expressions of the two of them, the black bottle in front of them was probably not simple.

"Professor He, please keep your hands steady." Professor Yu put down the amphora, with a solemn look on his face, as if he had seen some clues.

President Zhu walked up to Yanagawa Qing and asked in a low voice: "Boss Liu, please reveal some news."

"I'm confused too, but judging from the situation, it shouldn't be an ordinary bottle, at least it's not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Professor He looked more seriously. After a few minutes, he raised his head and said, "Lao Zhu, use a flashlight and a magnifying glass."

Professor Zhu was already ready. The three major professors came forward. Professor He raised his head and glanced at the chandelier and said, "Sister-in-law, please turn off the light."

Snap, the light goes out.

A beam of spotlight hit the amphorae, and a sound of surprise suddenly sounded in the restaurant. In the dim environment, at the edge of the spotlight, the amphorae reflected a hazy cyan light.

It's the kind of pure blue with a beautiful halo that makes people fall in love at first sight.

Professor He shined light into the bottle again, causing repeated exclamations.

After a while, the chandelier in the dining room turned on, and I saw that the shock on the faces of the three professors had not faded away, and their eyes wanted to swallow the amphora in one gulp.

"Brother, what's the origin of this black bottle?"

Professor Zhu glanced at him, frowned and said: "You are good at calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, but you don't know much about porcelain. You also saw it just now. The condensed light refracted green light, which means that this is not black glaze, but celadon glaze. Porcelain

There are obvious traces of flint red spots on the bottom, which is a major feature of Ming Dynasty porcelain."

Professor Yu nodded and continued: "During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the color of the celadon glaze was darker and darker. The green material used was imported Suma Liqing. When the glaze is too heavy, it looks darker. The glaze surface is very thick.

, moisturizing, the carcass is thick, the whole shape is three-dimensional and plump, and the lines are smooth.”

"I just observed it carefully and found that there was halo, which is also a characteristic of early Ming porcelain craftsmanship. The most shocking thing is that this amphorae is still glaze of the same color, which is unique among two-color glaze porcelain and has never appeared in the world.

Such porcelain." Professor He said in an excited tone, "Judging from the combination of flint red spots, glaze and halo, this amphora is probably an authentic product from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty."

"Whether it is authentic or not needs to go through strict identification procedures, such as carbon 14 testing. Once it is authenticated, it will definitely be a treasure in human history, the only one in the world." Professor Zhu exclaimed, then looked at Li Mo,

"How do you judge?"

Yanagawa Kei and President Zhu were very excited when they heard this. They were very familiar with the meaning of "unique".

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Mo smiled softly and said what he had thought about for a long time: "Ming Hongwu Three-clawed Dark Dragon and Celadon Glazed Amphora, an authentic product of the Ming Dynasty royal family, unique in the world, left behind

A folk miracle.”

There was a dead silence in the room, and no one understood what he meant.

Li Mo calmly walked to the dining table, took Professor He's spotlight, carefully touched the lower edge of the bottle, found the right place and shined a beam of light on it: "Everyone, come and take a closer look."

Professor Zhu hurriedly stretched out his finger and his eyes suddenly stared: "Although it is not easy to detect, there are indeed convex marks. Old lady, bring the rice paper and ink, quickly."
