Chapter 519

The others couldn't help but ask.

Fang Yang paused for just a moment, then immediately began a simple explanation: "It is recorded in the 'Classic of the Great Wilderness: West' in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* that the phoenix bird is merely one type among the phoenixes."

So, it was actually recorded.

The police officers present all wore expressions of sudden realization.

Afterward, they didn't dare to do anything else, instead patiently watching with great focus.

"This artifact as a whole utilizes the fire-gilding technique."

"As for the fire-gilding technique, I imagine most of you wouldn't understand it."

When he brought this up, he scanned the room; there were other things to do now, so he could only explain it quickly.

"If one wants to complete such a large bronze bell, it requires the sacrifice of a group of craftsmen."

"When making this bronze bell, first, the gold must be beaten into gold leaf."

"After making it into gold leaf, it must be cut into fine threads, heated with mercury, and fused together to create gold paste."

"Then, the gold paste is applied to the raw body of the artifact."

"Once applied, it is placed directly into a steamer."

"In this way, the mercury will evaporate; one checks where it is uneven, then steams and applies it again."

"Only when it is applied beautifully can this artifact be considered truly complete."

When Fang Yang reached this point, someone couldn't help but ask again: "So, can the wine inside actually be drunk?"

Seeing the other person's impatient look, Fang Yang found it somewhat amusing.

"This is two-thousand-year-old wine. If you want to have a taste, it's probably very difficult. After all, I don't know if there's anything wrong with it; it must be sent to a research institute for analysis. Only then will we be able to know clearly whether there are any issues inside."

When Fang Yang said these things, his tone was very calm.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if that restless young police officer wanted to take action, it was completely impossible.

In fact, this wine was truly poisonous and could not be drunk, but these were not things he should know.

If one could see clearly just by taking a glance, that would be too exaggerated.

Although there had already been many exaggerated things happening to him, it seemed it wouldn't matter if there were one more.

However, for something buried underground for thousands of years, even if it could be drunk, it would be better not to.

Fang Yang smiled.

He did not reveal the truth.

In any case, no one would actually dare to drink it.

——【This thing must have been unearthed from Lady Shangguan Wan'er's tomb, right?】

——【The person above is truly amazing. Fang Yang has already said this is a Han Dynasty artifact, yet you insist it's Lady Shangguan Wan'er. The eras are a hundred and eight thousand miles apart; how can you say something so unrelated?】

——【That person is really good at telling jokes; it's a difference of a thousand years.】

——【The fine wine inside shouldn't be blended wine, right?】

——【You really know nothing about *baijiu*.】

——【Yeah, that's right, I don't drink at all, so I really don't understand wine.】

——【So, if you don't understand, don't just talk nonsense, because doing so makes you look very ignorant, to the point where it's laughable to others.】

——【This wine is already green; it's clearly spoiled. It probably won't kill anyone, but it's best not to drink it. After all, wine buried underground is best for 5-7 years; if it exceeds that time, it is really not recommended to continue drinking.】

——【To the person above, are you joking? Wine spoiled? How could you say that? Many ancient wines were green; that's where the phrase 'lights red, wine green' comes from.】

——【This looks very valuable; why didn't the grave robbers take it, but instead buried it here?】

——【It wasn't necessarily buried by grave robbers.】

——【Grave robbers have always only wanted gold and silver vessels; this type of thing is inconvenient to carry and impossible to sell.】

——【Speaking of which, where can we find the last few things stolen by the grave robbers? We've been looking for a long time. Grave robbers have truly been a hateful bunch from ancient times to the present; they don't want to do things the right way and only engage in evil paths. Just looking at them makes one feel angry.】

376. Three cups and you're off to the Western Heaven, full of the periodic table! (Seeking full subscription)

——【Anyway, if I were to drink this wine, I absolutely couldn't do it. It's to the level where one sip would send you to the Western Heaven.】

——【I still haven't figured out whether the value of an artifact is measured by money or by history and culture!!!】

——【Individuals use economics; the state uses history and culture.】

——【How should I put this answer? It's right, but also wrong! It depends on the situation!!】

——【Personally, I feel this should be a bronze pot, and what's standing on top should be a Vermilion Bird.】

——【There is still a bit of a difference between a Vermilion Bird and a phoenix bird.】

——【In the Western Han period, you can tell the difference between a Vermilion Bird and a phoenix bird's tail at a glance; one looks like a pheasant, the other like a phoenix. Besides, the phoenix bird is not as agile as the Vermilion Bird.】

——【May I ask if they were called these names in ancient times? How do modern people know that ancient people called these things by these names? Every time Fang Yang explains, I can't help but think he is truly amazing; he can casually bestow names on so many artifacts.】

——【Naming has its rules. In ancient times, they certainly weren't called these names. The current names are all named by them based on the patterns, designs, or materials. It can only be said that the names Fang Yang gives every time are very appropriate, and experts basically follow them afterward.】

——【After thousands of years, copper ions have dissolved into the fine wine, so the wine body is pure emerald green; this wine definitely cannot be drunk.】

Fang Yang watched the people in the livestream discussing the wine inside with great enthusiasm; some had even basically guessed what was going on with this wine.

Immediately, he also explained at this time: "Actually, many people in the livestream have already made explanations about this wine. What you explained is actually very reasonable, and at the same time..."

Fang Yang paused just slightly, then said in a tone that was half-smiling: "When you cannot determine whether things on the side of the road are harmful, it is best not to touch them. Everything I am saying is true... it is best not to even touch them."

These words seemed to be directed at the young police officer from before.

That young officer's face immediately became embarrassed.

He felt that the stupid thing he had just done was something he would probably never live down in this lifetime.

He really wished some things would never happen; that would be even better.

Fang Yang had already explained what needed to be explained, and someone was left here to guard it.

In not too long, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau would soon send someone over, and they would take the items away directly.

Under these circumstances, some worries were even more unnecessary.

However, Fang Yang's group had already gone to find the next location.

The people in the livestream were truly interested in the newly unearthed artifacts, especially the wine; they were even more interested, and at this point, they still didn't forget to discuss it.

And this discussion was in a completely heated state.

——【Come, come, come, after finishing this cup, there are three more.】

——【One cup after another.】

——【Haha.】

——【After finishing this cup, I'm afraid there won't be a chance to drink the remaining three!】

——【Finish three cups, fly to the sky.】

——【I really want a cup of this thousand-year-old brew, but it's a pity the container isn't very good. If it could be changed to another container, it might very well be a different story; I am very certain of this.】

——【Lights red, wine green, have a sip.】

——【Maybe you won't have to wait until the next day.】

——【If there is any beauty willing to accompany me for a drink, I truly feel that this life would be worth it.】

——【Why is everyone saying it's copper rust or that the wine is contaminated and poisonous? Is there another possibility? Actually, it was brewed with kiwifruit?】

——【To the person above, you have very creative ideas, but your idea doesn't sound very reliable.】

——【Have a sip of the full periodic table.】

——【Haha, this saying is very interesting.】

——【Are you sure there is still fragrance? I don't think there is that possibility. Did Fang Yang and the others actually smell nothing, and everyone is pretending? Maybe it's just some ordinary stagnant water inside.】

——【Even if you are suspicious, please be suspicious about some actual points, okay? I really feel that the way you think about problems is particularly unreliable, to the point where I don't even want to think about it anymore.】

——【No one would joke about such things, and Fang Yang doesn't need to!】

377. There is one last artifact! Republic of China silver dollar? (Seeking full subscription)

The livestream was still a noisy day, but many people didn't care that much anymore.

They just kept moving forward like this.

In one of the sewers, they found a golden ring.

"There is only one last stolen artifact left."

"I didn't expect those grave robbers to be so bold as to throw things directly into the sewer. If it weren't for Fang Yang, I estimate the possibility of us finding these would be too low."

Director Lin looked at Fang Yang, his eyes full of relief.
