Chapter 179

【Snake Head】

【Type: Twelve Zodiac Animal Heads】

【Material: Red Copper】

【Age: Late Qing Dynasty】

【After the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Qing Dynasty, the twelve zodiac animal heads were moved away by robbers. Among them, the snake head was purchased by overseas merchants and placed on this ship...】

After Xiang Fangyang saw the introduction, his eyes widened, he was shocked!

This was actually the legendary twelve zodiac animal heads!

Just thrown here, and no one wanted it?

However, when he saw the records behind the animal head, he finally understood why this thing was left here and no one wanted it.

Chen Feng looked at Xiang Fangyang's devoted appearance and immediately walked over to ask: "Did you find anything?"

Xiang Fangyang nodded and pointed to the rusty place with his finger: "Hurry up and dig this out, I think it should be the snake head of the twelve zodiac!"

"Snake head?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around were suddenly startled, and they all walked up to watch.

But looking at it like this, they couldn't tell, it was just black rust.

Chen Feng didn't care about anything and immediately called several archaeological team members to start digging.

Everyone put down their work and watched carefully.

As the archaeological team members used small shovels to clean the surrounding mud bit by bit, an iron lump wrapped in rust appeared in front of everyone.

Even after so many years, even if it was covered in rust.

But they could tell at a glance that this was the national treasure that the Chinese people were thinking of, the snake head shape.

Qin Lao was so excited that his speech was trembling: "This, this... could it really be the snake head? Why is it here!"

No one answered his question.

Everyone involuntarily cast their eyes on Xiang Fangyang.

Xiang Fangyang did not answer this question, but looked at the mud inside with a solemn expression: "I suspect there may be more than one inside!"

Chen Feng was startled on the spot: "Dig! Dig quickly!"

He believed in Xiang Fangyang's judgment, even if there wasn't, it was definitely worth digging.

Even Principal Kong was extremely excited at this time: "Now there are only four zodiac signs left missing overseas. If they are all here today... that... is really a major event that will shock China!"

——【So excited, actually dug up the snake head. I thought I wouldn't see the twelve zodiac animal heads reunited in my lifetime. This thing has great traditional significance in our China. After all, everyone is born with a zodiac sign, and this thing can be considered the most precious treasure of the Old Summer Palace!】

——【I hope it's true, don't be a false alarm. Last year I went to visit the exhibition of the twelve zodiac signs. At that time, I felt a burst of sadness when I saw only a few there. It was clearly our Chinese twelve zodiac signs, but only a few were left, and many were even missing.】

——【God opened his eyes, this ship deserved to sink, wanting to run away with our Chinese national treasure, thinking beautifully. Dig quickly, I just want to know if the remaining few are all here. If they are all here, I will definitely drink some wine tonight to celebrate, not for anything else, just because I am Chinese, and I belong to the snake!】

——【These years, the animal heads have been hyped to a sky-high price, just because of the patriotism of the Chinese people and the meaning of the twelve zodiac signs. Although it is not something with a very long history, one is at least worth hundreds of millions, and it is not made of gold. I really hate those robbers back then, making money from the feelings of the Chinese people!】

The excavation work on the scene is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Archaeological personnel are responsible for cleaning the mud and looking for any remaining animal heads.

And here, Qin Lao personally took tools to clean the copper rust on the snake head.

He didn't trust others to do this kind of work, and insisted on doing it himself.

Everyone was nervously looking forward to something.

Suddenly, one of the team members shouted!

"Look, I seem to have dug up something rusty!"

Everyone hurried over to observe, and without saying a word, they divided the work and cooperated to clean it together.

Ten minutes later, a shape like a rooster was dug out.

Everyone was shocked!

If the snake head before was a coincidence, it might be fake.

Then now that two have appeared, this coincidence is too big.

Everyone knows in their hearts that this thing is the lost national treasure, but it still needs to be verified again.

Just when everyone's joy had not faded.

Another exclamation came.

Sure enough, an animal head was dug out!

Sheep head!

Now the expectations in everyone's hearts have changed.

No longer struggling with whether they are true or false.

But looking forward to whether the last dog head will also be here.

If it is!

Then today they will witness the moment when the Chinese twelve zodiac animal heads are completely reunited!

How many Chinese people have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, how many people have been thinking about the national treasure!

It is about to become a reality in their hands!

When the last piece of rust was exposed.

The people in the working group were already excited and started shouting.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! The last dog head appeared!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone help dig!"

"No, my heart is a bit uncomfortable, you guys dig, I'll cheer for you!"

Everyone's face was full of excitement and thrill.

This is not just digging up cultural relics, but digging up the feelings and faith of the Chinese people.

The moment the animal head was dug out, the archaeological staff didn't care about the mud on it and kissed it directly.

But no one said anything to him.

Because at this moment, everyone could understand each other's feelings.

Xiang Fangyang looked at the four animal heads on the ground, and his heart was also full of excitement.

He can not care about many things, but the honor of the country has always been in his heart.

Even if he is a transmigrator, this kind of Chinese civilization spirit is always imprinted in his heart.

Qin Lao touched the animal heads on the ground with trembling hands, and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes: "How many years, finally returned, I didn't expect that after so many years, you never left!"

Principal Kong nodded solemnly and helped Qin Lao up: "It's so lucky to witness this moment today, Xiang Fangyang, I really want to thank you, all patriotic Chinese people will thank you!"

Xiang Fangyang scratched his head awkwardly: "Why thank me, I just happened to dig it out!"

"No! Must thank you, your unintentional act fulfilled the dreams of so many people! It's just that the only thing I don't understand is why this thing is here? If it sank, I can understand, but this thing was not even taken away!"

Actually, Xiang Fangyang had considered this question before.

But later, after checking the system data, he finally understood why.

Xiang Fangyang replied lightly: "Because at that time, they didn't think this was very valuable. You must know that at that time, those robbers burned the Old Summer Palace to the ground, and everyone made a lot of money. This kind of large-scale thing was just copper to them, they didn't know the value of this thing at all!"

"After these animal heads were robbed back then, they were once used as garden decorations and thrown in the yard without being taken seriously. It wasn't until later that a merchant bought several of them for $1500 each, which shows that in their eyes, these were not worth anything at all. They didn't understand the inheritance of Chinese civilization and just regarded them as copper products!"

"Even in the later auctions, at first, they only sold for 250,000, but later those foreigners knew the importance of these things to the Chinese people, and the price directly rose by ten thousand times!"

"Coupled with the fact that this ship sank to the bottom of the river back then, they didn't even take away so many porcelains and goods, what reason would they have to take away such heavy animal heads? They were just very heavy copper vessels! Not worth it!"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

In this way, it can indeed explain why it was left here and no one wanted it.

The merchants at that time probably thought it was not valuable.

But who could have thought that these things, which were not valuable in their eyes, were the national treasures that the Chinese people were thinking of!

If they were still alive now and knew about this scene, would they be angry to death on the spot!

——【Can only say it's fortunate, these merchants didn't understand the price of cultural relics, otherwise I'm afraid we would never see the twelve zodiac animal heads reunited today. Suddenly feel so happy, must have a big meal tonight to celebrate!】 ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
