Chapter 548

Fang Yang felt that being able to share these things, which everyone found so interesting, and helping people gain a better understanding of history and the Dragon Boat Festival, was a very good thing.

Fang Yang wandered around the tomb for a while longer, but after finding nothing else, he left the burial site.

He contacted the guide who had been waiting outside the whole time.

"My work here is finished. May I leave now?"

Fang Yang asked, though it was merely a formality, as he knew full well that the other party would absolutely not let him leave so easily.

After all, his work here had only involved identifying the authenticity of the underglaze red bell-shaped vase and digging up two centuries-old zongzi.

This was vastly different from the large quantities of artifacts unearthed during his previous jobs.

"Fang Yang, Master Rong saw your performance in the tomb via the live stream, and he said you did well."

The man's tone was extremely calm as he spoke.

His words caused Fang Yang to raise an eyebrow.

435. What could be in an abandoned park? Fang Yang: Are you sure? (Seeking full subscription)

"So Master Rong was watching the live stream." Fang Yang smiled, then greeted the live stream audience: "I hope the Master will remain satisfied with my performance going forward, and I hope everyone else will continue to support me."

After saying this, Fang Yang turned his gaze back to the man in front of him.

"It seems I cannot leave just yet. Then tell me, what should I do next?"

Following Fang Yang's prompt, the man led the way. This time, it wasn't a tomb, but an abandoned park.

Even the streetlights were broken; the ground was in disarray, covered everywhere with rotting leaves and pieces of wood.

Not far away was a small lake.

The water was a murky green, with plenty of trash floating on the surface.

Just by approaching it, one could smell a very foul odor.

Fang Yang couldn't help but cover his nose.

"This place is truly abandoned to the core; my nose can barely take it."

Fang Yang felt he could endure many things, but right now, he had to admit he couldn't handle this.

It was precisely because he couldn't endure it that he turned his gaze toward the area with the strongest stench.

"This place has been abandoned for about 20 years. It's very remote, nobody comes here, and we've never thought of any use for this abandoned park."

The person who brought Fang Yang here also felt the smell was truly unbearable.

"Regardless of whether the smell is bad, Fang Yang… I still have to ask you to take a look and see if there is anything in here."

Fang Yang really didn't want to look.

The smell was making his brain feel muddled.

The cameraman quickly ran to the car and grabbed a few masks.

He put one on himself and gave the others to Fang Yang and the man.

After quickly finishing this, although the smell was still hard to endure, it was manageable.

The only thing Fang Yang wanted now was to finish the job quickly so he could leave.

"In the water."

Fang Yang walked around this abandoned park for quite a while, circling it at least twice, before he finally determined the location.

Hearing Fang Yang's words, the man hesitated before asking him.

"Are you sure?"

If nothing was unearthed, then everything they did next would be a waste of effort.

Although the man had heard many legends about Fang Yang and had done his own research, he still couldn't help but ask.

"I am very sure, but if you don't believe me, you don't have to…"

Fang Yang's tone was exceptionally serious as he said this.

He left the choice entirely up to the man.

The man hesitated for only a moment, then glanced toward the camera and nodded: "I understand. I will call people over now to drain the lake."

Doing this might waste a lot of time.

The man was very certain of this.

But he remembered Master Rong saying that no matter what actions Fang Yang took or how he planned to proceed, he was to cooperate fully without needing to call and report every detail.

On this matter, he was very confident in making the decision himself.

He quickly called a company that specialized in handling such tasks.

Soon, professional personnel rushed toward the scene.

The water was drained very quickly, taking nearly two hours, and even the trash was cleared away.

436. Cloud-patterned stem cup, a cup only an Emperor deserves! (Seeking full subscription)

Borrowing tools, Fang Yang changed into his gear under the watchful eyes of others, and without needing any large machinery, he picked up a hoe and began to dig.

Seeing Fang Yang's actions, the others were incredibly surprised.

The man couldn't help but ask in a low voice behind Fang Yang: "Is there anything you need my help with next?"

"If you want to help, then go ahead."

With someone helping, he would be faster.

Another 20 minutes or so passed.

"Stop for a moment."

Fang Yang suddenly stopped the man from digging any further.

【Cloud-patterned Stem Cup】

【Height: 14.5 cm】

【…】

"Just one cup?"

The man hadn't expected that after so much effort, they would only dig up a cup. Although its design didn't look like something modern craftsmanship could produce, no matter how unusual it was, it was still just a cup.

"This cup is not ordinary; it is something only an Emperor is qualified to use."

Fang Yang could see the slight dissatisfaction on the man's face. His expression remained calm, but he kindly offered an explanation.

After all, others could misunderstand him, but they absolutely could not misunderstand the value of these artifacts.

In Fang Yang's view, regardless of their price, these artifacts were all national treasures of China.

Holding the cloud-patterned stem cup in his hand, Fang Yang was quite delighted, even though the smell on it wasn't exactly pleasant.

"Let's not talk here; let's get to the shore first."

After saying this, Fang Yang proposed.

Hearing Fang Yang's suggestion, the man followed him to the shore almost immediately.

Although they were now on the shore, the sticky feeling under their feet still made them feel very uncomfortable, even though they had prepared well.

While the man was changing his shoes, Fang Yang was already providing popular science to the people in the live stream.

"This cup is called a Cloud-patterned Stem Jade Cup."

"Its height is 14.5 centimeters."

"The body of the cup is a straight-mouthed cylinder."

"Let's look at this cup carefully; the upper layer has persimmon calyx and flowing cloud patterns."

"The middle is connected by coiled cloud patterns."

"And at the very bottom, it is decorated with flowing clouds and ruyi patterns."

"Among the many artifacts, this Cloud-patterned Stem Jade Cup is not particularly unique in terms of its material or its shape."

"Although it appears that way, it represents a famous dynasty in Chinese history."

"That is the Great Qin Dynasty."

"And the person who used this cup must have been an Emperor-level figure."

"Both the top and bottom of the jade cup have mercury patina."

"The rest is mostly yellow fragrant patina and rust spots."

"It is a relatively rare masterpiece from the Qin Dynasty."

"It is highly likely that this was a wine cup used by Qin Shi Huang or his concubines."

Just as Fang Yang said this, he was interrupted by the man who had finished changing his shoes and walked over.

"There are no special markings or inscriptions on this, so how can you tell it's from the Qin Shi Huang era?"

When the man said this, there was clear skepticism in his voice. ===== CHAPTER 549 =====
