Chapter 633

Empress Dowager Cixi's ivory fan has immense research value, and everyone else fixed their gazes upon it.

Fang Yang then had them take Cixi's fan and leave, while he continued to walk along this mountain.

However, how could these people be willing to just leave like this?

Their gazes were all fixed on Fang Yang.

Since Fang Yang had unearthed Empress Dowager Cixi's item at such a fast speed, what kind of actions would he take next?

Would there be other cultural relics on this large mountain?

Looking at Fang Yang's attitude, it was obvious that there were definitely other things inside; they were very certain of this point.

They had been excavating here for a long time but had discovered nothing at all, yet Fang Yang had only come here for a brief walk and then discovered things everywhere.

Such a scene made the mood of the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau very complicated.

However, no matter how complicated their feelings were, they still wanted to see with their own eyes just how capable Fang Yang was.

They also very much wanted to know what Fang Yang would unearth next.

This kind of curiosity was something that people in some of the previous cities had all experienced.

Under the gaze of the others, Fang Yang continued to walk forward step by step.

This time, he did not walk for too long before he quickly stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this scene, they knew that Fang Yang had found something again.

"Brother, is the cultural relic to be excavated this time very deep underground?"

"It's not very deep; it's actually less than a meter underground."

"That means it's still very close, then."

"The things on this hilltop are really strange; they are all cultural relics that are very close to the ground, and the boxes used to hold the items aren't even from the same dynasty."

"What's so strange about that? Existences like grave robbers have existed in every era."

"However, I don't know the reason why, but those grave robbers seem to have never come back to retrieve the items."

Fang Yang said this calmly, then closed his mouth and began to take out his tools to excavate.

This time, he had no feeling and did not know what exactly he was going to unearth next.

But since he had locked his gaze here, it meant that the items inside should not be bad.

On this point, Fang Yang was very certain.

This time it was still a box, and it was still a box from the Republic of China era.

Because they had experienced the previous incident, they would not think that what was buried inside would be items from the Republic of China era.

They kept staring with bright, sharp eyes, very curious—curious whether this would still be an item from the Qing Dynasty, and whether it would still be an item belonging to Empress Dowager Cixi.

If it really were, then it would mean that many of Empress Dowager Cixi's treasures had been hidden here by this grave robber or someone of another identity.

There was simply no way to determine what the specific reason was.

Thus, before the box was opened, they could only think this way.

It was as if they already knew there were treasures inside, yet they were very curious about what exactly the treasures inside would be.

The second before Fang Yang opened the box, they were still unable to stop thinking about these things.

It was not until a pair of shoes revealed their appearance that it made people unable to help but feel astonished.

"Shoes, and a pair of very ordinary shoes at that."

"These cannot be considered ordinary shoes; these are shoes from the Southern Song Dynasty. Previous historical artifacts already had such patterns."

"However, the feeling of seeing them in reality is still very different from seeing them in books."

"Although this can be considered a cultural relic, there is nothing special about it."

"How can you say there is nothing special? At the very least, one can see what the standard of living was like in that dynasty."

"These are woven shoes with laces from over 700 years ago. Looking at them, apart from the color being a bit yellowed, they are preserved as if they were just newly made."

"This ability is no worse than the handiwork of people today."

……

——【Trends are a cycle, so looking back now, looking at those shows about traveling to ancient times, they are really ridiculous.】

——【The ancients were truly very smart.】

——【Of course they were very smart. You can see this by looking at the ancient poems and articles written by scholars.】

——【The masters of today really can't compare to the ancients; they have absolutely no integrity to speak of.】

——【Yes, actually, there were good things in the old society because they deeply understood the scenes of that time, but now they all sit in offices blowing air conditioning; they don't understand a damn thing.】

——【They don't understand anything. Of course, they only understand how to pass the day with a pack of cigarettes and a cup of tea, and only know how to exploit the common people as much as possible.】

——【I wonder if it will cycle back to the fashion of the ancient times where clothes didn't cover the body.】

——【I think it's coming soon; it's just a matter of time.】

——【Aren't today's clothes already developing in that direction?】

——【Sigh, why are you being so euphemistic? Let me tell you directly: if the law didn't care, you would suspect you had walked into a bathhouse while walking down the street. Do you believe it? Do you think many people want to wear clothes?】

——【Sigh, how can you say that? That's a fashion trend; the key is that you have to have money.】

——【Actually, I think if you go to the beach, you will definitely be able to see the scene you hope for.】

——【Yes, a better bikini costs several thousand.】

——【Those who are not rich are noble; ordinary commoners should all be wearing straw sandals. Even in the 20th century, I remember my grandparents could still make straw sandals.】

——【These are the words of someone who understands.】

——【However, even if these are shoes used by noble people, they are just ordinary shoes; there is nothing special about them. If they were the Emperor's shoes, that might be different.】

——【The Emperor's wouldn't be shoes like this; I guess they would all be things with gold thread trim or something.】

——【They really look like today's handicrafts; it must be that the author traveled back in time to make such a shoe.】

——【These are all people who have watched too many TV dramas. Where in this world is there time travel?】

——【Really, don't look at the ancients as being so stupid. They aren't stupid; they could make them themselves.】

——【I see it now; the ancients aren't stupid, but you are, actually answering so seriously.】

——【The time travel I mentioned refers to the fact that this design has a very strong modern feel. My reply to you was a joke; you don't understand some of my jokes. Calling you stupid is a personal attack; don't be so serious and earnest, I am under a lot of pressure.】

——【The highest realm of art is actually returning to simplicity.】

642. Ancient version of Yeezy shoes, straw sandals are more fashionable! (Seeking full subscription)

——【This is the ancient version of Yeezy shoes.】

——【Fashion is actually just like that; you get tired of seeing it, change it, and when you get tired of it again, change it again. If you don't use it, you can change it back.】

——【Get a few from the past; aren't those straw sandals even more fashionable?】

——【Don't even mention it; straw sandals now cost several thousand in the fashion world.】

——【I am 34 years old this year; when I was a child, I still wore hemp shoes, straw sandals woven with hemp rope and reeds. I wore them in winter and on rainy days.】

——【People with strength wear good things regardless of the era.】

——【I just know that fashion is always in a cycle.】

——【Merchants: Hehe, this is this year's new style.】

——【What's popular recently happens to be flax color.】

——【This should be breathable and not stuffy for the feet; it's quite good.】

——【What is the difference between a gold ring from a thousand years ago and one from today? It's just that the craftsmanship has improved.】

——【If this were restored, wouldn't selling this style make a fortune?】

——【Even if this style were put in the present, it should be very ordinary and common; there is nothing special, and it wouldn't sell like crazy.】

——【These shoes look very comfortable to wear.】

——【I used woven bags during the Chinese New Year; I heard they were very popular a few years ago.】

——【Foreigners plagiarize our Chinese nation, then turn around and sell them to you, charging you property rights fees.】

——【I want to sue all the people in the beautiful country; sue them for copying us.】

——【Are there any designers who have gained inspiration after seeing this pair of shoes from the ancients?】

——【It's a pity that this pair of shoes has no identity background. If the identity were unusual, its value would definitely be unusual.】

——【Cultural relics are all hyped up; this price can go up. As long as you give it an identity background, find a famous person from the Southern Song Dynasty, and create a connection with him, wouldn't it have value?】

——【Haha, you know how to hype things up.】

When they got this pair of shoes, the expressions of the others looked very disappointed.
