Chapter 486

"It exists to prevent the invasion of demons and evil ways."

"In fact, you can see from the appearance that it is very different from the real Jintan City."

"When this building was drawing the mandala, it used a lot of three-dimensional methods, just to show the altar and palace of the gods, so it looks like the whole feeling is vivid."

Originally, when everyone saw this building, they really thought it had something to do with the Jintan City they thought of.

After all, the city they are in now is Jintan City.

As a result...

Except for the similar name, is it completely irrelevant?

It's simply shocking!

The expressions on the netizens' faces must have seen something, but Fang Yang saw the expressions on the faces of the experts around him.

"Do you feel very disappointed?"

Since Fang Yang saw that the other party was in such a state, he didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly.

Disappointed?

Although the mood is a little subtle, if you say disappointed, it is definitely not.

No matter what, this is a very powerful cultural relic.

And just digging it out is already a very big harvest for them.

What's more, the Qing Dynasty Jintan City looks too beautiful in their eyes, making them reluctant to move their eyes away for half a minute.

Just like this, under Fang Yang's gaze, these experts quickly moved the things away carefully.

Fang Yang couldn't help but smile when he saw their appearance, but it was only such a little smile.

Then, he went to another place to search.

It seems that there are still things.

Others at this moment, almost all of them, couldn't help but think in their hearts.

Their eyes couldn't help but follow Fang Yang, as if doing so was correct.

"I don't know what will be dug up next."

"Anyway, no matter what is dug up, it is enough for our research for a long time to come."

"I have carefully noticed before that the treasures dug up by Fang Yang every time, although some are indeed damaged, most of the time they are complete, which is already an incredible thing."

"If you don't say it, I haven't noticed it yet. Once you say it, it seems to be the case."

"..."

Fang Yang didn't notice it at all before, so he didn't know that these experts had been whispering behind his back, and the more clever thing was that the person they were whispering about was himself.

Fang Yang raised his eyebrows, and for a while he didn't know how to react when he knew this.

However, knowing is knowing.

Nothing is more concerning than the work at hand not being finished.

Fang Yang couldn't help but mutter about this in his heart.

Then, after determining the place, he excavated again.

The things dug this time seem to be a bit big.

Fang Yang was a bit surprised when he saw things exposed from the ground, but soon he continued to go down.

When the whole shape of the thing was exposed, the cameraman shouted on the side: "Ah, isn't this an ordinary mat?"

At first, the cameraman didn't see what it was, but gradually, when Fang Yang untied the cloth wrapped outside and spread the thing on the ground, his eyes lit up.

Then he couldn't help laughing: "Whose mat is buried in the ground."

He seemed to think that what he said was very interesting, and his voice didn't lower at all, but said it openly.

After saying this, Fang Yang sneered at his gloating appearance, and even echoed his words: "That's right, who would bury a mat directly in the ground?"

The cameraman originally wanted to laugh and continue to echo a few words, but when he saw Fang Yang's attitude was wrong, he closed his mouth and stared at it with a nervous and curious look.

And the cultural relic experts over there had already gathered.

They couldn't wait to lie on the ground and look at it carefully bit by bit.

"This is not woven with bamboo or other plants, it seems to be animal..."

Just as an expert said this with hesitation, another expert immediately added: "What's hard to see, isn't it ivory?"

When they were discussing these, the system's voice rang in Fang Yang's ears.

【Qing Yongzheng Ivory Mat】

【216 cm long, 139 cm wide, composed of many ivory thin slices less than 0.3 cm wide】

【……】

Fang Yang quickly received all the information, and then said to others: "This is an ivory mat used by Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty."

"What?"

"Where did you see that?"

"Although this is indeed an ivory mat, it seems that it can be seen that it is not simple, but to say that this is used by Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty is too outrageous."

"I think it's better to do some research before making a judgment."

The experts whispered, and Fang Yang just listened to these, and had no intention of refuting what they said.

"Then what can you see from it?"

Fang Yang asked in a low voice.

The experts then said their discoveries and speculations one after another, until they found that some words were poor and they couldn't speak, and then they cast their eyes on Fang Yang.

Fang Yang's expression didn't change, but he took the initiative to introduce it.

"This ivory mat was built at the cost of countless lives. Just like what you just said, the whole mat is made entirely of ivory."

"I know a story, which happens to be related to Yongzheng, and it is related to this ivory mat."

When everyone cast their eyes on Fang Yang, Fang Yang continued slowly: "This story is that craftsmen from other places, in order to please Yongzheng, made this breathtaking ivory mat."

"This ivory mat is made by shaving the whole ivory into a very thin piece, and then soaking it in medicinal water. After processing, it is woven."

"Such an exquisite item, if you want to make it, you must spend a long time. As far as I know, when making this ivory mat, hundreds of mature workers were used, and they were made at the same time, and it took more than half a year."

"So how many ivories does he need to complete the production?"

328. Not oxidized for hundreds of years, the legendary ivory splitting process?

"Yongzheng also happened to ask this question back then."

"And it was Annam King who told Yongzheng."

"He said this, it takes more than 100 ivories, and the lives of dozens of elephants to exchange."

"At that time, Emperor Yongzheng was shocked after hearing it, and afterwards he directly issued an imperial edict and ordered not to use this method to make ivory mats again."

……

——【Is this the legendary ivory splitting process?】

——【Ah, it's over, this process has been lost.】

——【It doesn't matter if this kind of process is lost.】

——【It's still a pity. Not to mention whether to do it in the future, but it's a pity that this kind of process is gone.】

——【It should not be lost. I saw someone making mats with buffalo horns before, and I felt it was incredible at that time.】

——【The material of horn and ivory is different, the teeth seem to need special medicinal water to soak soft.】

——【Don't talk nonsense. In fact, many traditional crafts have not been lost at all, but our level has not reached it. To put it bluntly, we are too poor to afford those luxury goods.】

——【What's the pity that this kind of process is lost? Do humans really need this kind of thing?】

——【Qing Yongzheng's ivory mat, I almost laughed my teeth off. It has been hundreds of years since the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng era, and ivory will oxidize and change color in a few decades. Please, is there no common sense?】

——【That's right, everyone has been blowing Fang Yang before. I think he is not that powerful at all, and I don't know what everyone is blowing about.】

——【Are you two blind? Are your ears deaf, or are your eyes blind? It was said that it was soaked in medicine!】

——【Yes, medicine was used!】

——【This mat is estimated to be thrown away in a broken cloth, otherwise Fang Yang would not have discovered it so luckily.】

——【Sigh, this kind of thing is no longer allowed to be made, what a pity.】

——【It is not only that it was ordered not to be made during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, but it is also not allowed to be made now.】

——【Because it is a good thing, and it is a unique piece, so it is more valuable.】

——【Rhino elephant, the best in teeth.】

——【Is there a possibility that only a part of the ivory is pulled out, and the elephant is not killed? So, why say that the lives of dozens of elephants are sacrificed?】
