Zhang Tian's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He looked at the fat man who had just popped out, utterly speechless.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd was struggling to stifle their laughter.
Fortunately, Da Jin Ya stepped forward.
"Young Master Zhang is still impressive, not only can he identify bronze wares at a glance, but he can also explain the craftsmanship of the replica bronze sword. I, Da Jin Ya, am truly impressed."
"I ask you, after licking his boots, who among you could say so much?"
"I fear some of you aren't even worthy of licking."
After Da Jin Ya spoke, some who were holding back their laughter immediately lowered their heads.
Indeed, given Zhang Tian's status, those present were utterly unworthy to lick his boots. Some of them didn't even have the standing of Da Jin Ya.
The atmosphere instantly became lively again.
"That's right, even if I tried to lick his boots, I probably wouldn't understand it either."
"Young Master Zhang is truly amazing, worthy of the legendary Golden Eye!"
"Identifying antiques at a glance, combined with this knowledge, how great it would be if I had these abilities."
After Da Jin Ya's words, the crowd, like grass swayed by the wind, began to shower Zhang Tian with effusive praise, like sycophants.
They were afraid of speaking too slowly.
This was probably what was known as being a high-level sycophant.
At this moment, on the scene.
[Hahaha, it's still the Fatty, a perfect counter-attack!]
[Haha, Zhang Tian must have been stunned.]
[Holy crap, Da Jin Ya is good, he directly saved Zhang Tian's face.]
[Seriously, those people have no backbone at all, turning into sycophants with just one sentence?]
[To the previous commenter, if you were born in that era, you'd be a sycophant too, perhaps even more so than them.]
There was a murmur of discussion at the scene.
On the judges' table, the Fatty grinned at Hu Ba Yi.
"Old Hu, did you see that? The boss's embarrassing moment."
The Fatty was beaming, showing no sign that he was already a hundred years old.
Hu Ba Yi shot the Fatty a glare and ignored him. If he laughed at Zhang Tian now, Zhang Tian might laugh at him later in the Ancient City.
It wasn't worth the trouble.
At this moment, the internet celebrity experts.
"What he said seems to make sense. The degree of corrosion in the latrine, combined with the principle of bronze rusting, perhaps it's really possible."
The Skinny Expert was somewhat excited.
"I don't believe it anyway, wouldn't that be slapping ourselves in the face?"
The Fat Expert murmured.
But the next moment, when he saw the other two guys had already gone out to experiment, the Fat Expert quickly stood up.
"Hey, wait for me. I think we should give it a try."
He quickly followed, and the other two gave him a speechless look.
At this moment, amidst the crowd.
Zhang Tian also quickly followed the steps provided by Da Jin Ya.
"I admire Master Jin's appraisal skills. This round, let's say Master Jin wins."
Zhang Tian said, and Da Jin Ya quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, no, Young Master Zhang, this round, no, this entire competition, you have won."
Da Jin Ya quickly stopped Zhang Tian and said excitedly.
The gold tooth in his mouth was clearly visible.
"Master Jin, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Tian was a bit confused. Why did Da Jin Ya call for a stop when the two of them had just begun their competition?
Da Jin Ya shook his head slightly.
"To be honest, I originally thought this bronze sword was real, so I took it out. I didn't expect it to be my misjudgment."
"Young Master Zhang, you are indeed superior to me. I, Da Jin Ya, have the integrity for that."
Da Jin Ya spoke without reservation.
Zhang Tian did not hold back either, nodding directly.
"Master Jin's eyesight is also the best I've ever seen, without exception."
"Let's call this match a draw, shall we?"
Zhang Tian said, giving Da Jin Ya ample face.
After all, the man had timely saved the situation.
"Then thank you, Young Master Zhang."
Afterward, Zhang Tian and Da Jin Ya both wore smiles on their faces.
The Fatty seemed to have thought of something.
"Heh heh, Brother Ban Yue, our..."
The Fatty grinned and rubbed his fingers together.
Wang Ban Yue was depressed. How could it be that Da Jin Ya lost?
No, it should be a draw.
"Brother Kai Xuan, that's not fair."
"Master Jin and Master Zhang had a draw, we can't go back on our word."
Wang Ban Yue said, rendering Wang Fatty speechless.
Wang Ban Yue was still Wang Ban Yue, how could he let himself suffer a loss?
Zhang Tian's gaze swept across the stalls again, and then he saw something very strange.
It looked like a token, but it was definitely not an antique, lacking any trace of age.
It was clear that this was a modern token.
Zhang Tian picked up the token on the ground without paying attention to the stall owner.
Da Jin Ya's gaze also fell upon it.
Wang Ban Yue and Wang Fatty, meanwhile, were shooing away the onlookers.
After all, the competition was over, and it would be impolite to keep lingering.
"This token should be modern, right?"
Wu Tian Zhen couldn't help but say when he saw Zhang Tian pick up the token.
Zhang Tian looked at Wu Tian Zhen.
"Do you recognize this token?"
Zhang Tian's gaze was somewhat serious.
Wu Tian Zhen looked closely.
The token was bronze-colored, with the head of a Prajna on it, with a green face and bared fangs, looking somewhat terrifying.
"This should be something from Fuji country. Back then, Fuji country occupied Beidong for over a decade and Jingnan for several years. During this period, they plundered countless ancient tombs in our Xia country."
"I have heard of this organization from some people."
Wu Tian Zhen had traveled overseas, so he naturally knew some things.
"Oh?"
"Could you explain in detail?"
Zhang Tian clenched his fist.
He vaguely felt that this matter was not simple.
Wu Tian Zhen also seemed to be filled with righteous indignation. Remembering the large number of cultural relics that were transported away during the invasion, his heart was filled with anger.
How could a small Fuji country last so long in Xia country? It was all due to the excessive plunder of wealth.
"Back then, after Fuji country occupied a certain number of cities, their supplies and capital chains began to collapse."
"A small territory like theirs couldn't possibly have large amounts of capital to spend on war. So, they turned their attention to cultural relics and wealth."
"They formed a tomb-robbing team called Prajna. Prajna represents wisdom, a symbol of great wisdom. They called tomb robbing a product of great wisdom."
"And I saw this in a book, it's the identification token of that organization."
Wu Tian Zhen finished speaking in one breath.
They were robbing tombs using Prajna and then calling themselves wise and making the most intelligent decisions.
Wu Tian Zhen was a passionate youth, how could he not be angry?
Furthermore, he was very meticulous on this matter.
Zhang Tian took a deep breath.
He hadn't expected to see this token here. It was clear that those people had also gone to rob the tomb in front of them.
Back then, Fuji country's tomb-robbing forces were indeed immense. The former Kanto Army fortress was a typical example.
Moreover, according to incomplete statistics, after Fuji country's defeat, millions of cultural relics were secretly or openly transported out of Xia country.
Looking at Wu Tian Zhen's slightly trembling hands, Zhang Tian knew that Wu Tian Zhen could finally be put to good use.
"Brother Wu, I wonder if you're interested in joining me for a big score?"
Zhang Tian said with a smile.
Wu Tian Zhen looked somewhat bewildered.
"Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
"To steal back all the cultural relics that Fuji country took away back then! To empty the tombs abroad."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Wu Tian Zhen's eyes lit up more and more.
Zhang Tian's vision had broadened!
What was the skill in robbing their own tombs? The real skill was to rob all the tombs in other countries.
"Boss, you're wrong. Those guys only established themselves for a few hundred years, at most they're just graves,"
The Fatty chimed in with a sharp remark.
Zhang Tian was very satisfied. If Wu Tian Zhen went to rob foreign tombs, he would be a ticking time bomb for foreign cemeteries.
Absolutely amazing.
Now it all depended on whether Wu Tian Zhen agreed.
(Since we're going to rob foreign tombs, let's do something big. What do you all think? (waggling eyebrows))
