Chapter 113: The symbol of weapons and armor, and the jade cup with a sky-high price.
The tiger talisman is 9.5 cm long, 4.4 cm high and 0.7 cm thick.
It is covered with inscriptions: The symbol of weapons and armor is on the right with the king and on the left with Du. Whenever a force of more than 50 soldiers is mobilized and armored, they must meet the king's symbol before they dare to act. As for the matter of burning fire, even without meeting the symbol, the funeral can still be carried out.
The treasure hunting system gives hints.

When the tiger talisman appears.
The live broadcast room exploded.
Countless question marks floated out.
"???"
"????"
"What the hell! Did I see it wrong? Tiger Talisman?"
"It is indeed a tiger talisman! Half a tiger talisman."
"Oh my god, Lao Wang, you really want to rebel!!"
"Okay, medicinal herbs, an ancient village as a base, knives, guns, cannons, grenades, mines, tiger talismans, what else does Old Wang need?"
"Old Wang: I was given the mandate by heaven, and I will prosper forever!"
The entire archaeological community was shocked.
All the expert collectors breathed heavily and their eyes turned red.
The Magic City Museum, the Nanjing Museum, the Beijing Museum…all looked at Wang Chen.
After all, the tiger talisman symbolizes an era, and at any time, every merger of it may result in rivers of blood and devastation of lives.
What is hidden behind this kind of cultural relic is heavy.
Wang Chen was also surprised.
He never expected to find a Qin tiger talisman here.
But it seems reasonable to think about it.
The Qin Kingdom unified the country and changed its name to the Great Qin Empire. Qin Shi Huang was crowned emperor, so the previous "national tiger talisman" must have been replaced with a new one that was more suitable for his status.
Therefore,
The old version is no longer useful, so it appears in tombs as burial objects to commemorate the tomb owner.
Huber Museum: "Mr. Wang, I sent you a private message. Please read it when you have time."
Shanxi Museum: "Old Wang, please turn the light to the side. Our cultural relics experts are here and can help you see which country's tiger talisman from the Warring States Period this is from. This is very important and can help you determine the identity of the tomb owner!"
National Museum: "Comrade Wang, are you interested in working at the National Museum? We will solemnly arrange a position for you."
When netizens saw the National Museum’s comments, they were shocked.
"Old Wang's cards are getting bigger and bigger. Damn it."
"I still remember that Lao Wang just started eating steamed buns. He looked so pitiful."
"Old Wang, I order you not to go. You have to dig treasure for us. Be obedient!"
"This Shanxi Museum is ridiculous. Does Lao Wang need you to teach him? You can't even say a word about Shi Boqiong. Isn't it Lao Wang who taught you?"
Netizens are disdainful of these experts.
Compared to Lao Wang, he's just trash.
Wang Chen looked at the comments for a while.
Ignore the self-righteous comments from the museum and introduce it to netizens directly.
"Brothers, I have seen this tiger seal. Based on my previous research, this style of tiger seal should be the one used by the Qin State before it was unified."
"Look at the one in my hand. The one on the left is held by the army, and the one on the right is held by the king."
"A tiger talisman like this has a very important meaning, and it belongs to the Qin State. That is to say, when Qin Shihuang unified the world, this tiger talisman must have made the world tremble with fear every time it was used. It witnessed the great progress of history..."
Wang Chen also explained the meaning of the inscription on the tiger talisman.
Netizens and archaeological experts once again felt the vastness of Lao Wang’s knowledge.
"Old Wang is really awesome. I feel like I have gained more useless knowledge!"
"I don't understand shit!"
"Don't talk about you. I am a researcher of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Sometimes I don't understand what Lao Wang is talking about."
"I feel more and more like Lao Wang is a god. He can talk about everything."
"Don't waste any more time, Lao Wang. Just name a price and get on the yellow bike!!"
"I just sold my house, I have over 3 million, I'm going to be the anchor!"
Wang Chen was amused by the funny comments of netizens.
"Okay, this tiger talisman is worth 250 million, and the highest bidder will get it." I thought it was a joke.
What he didn't expect was that thousands of certified bigwigs suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room and sent barrages to bid.
National Museum: "We represent the country and offer 260 million."
Li Hong, founder of Baidu: "Lao Wang, I've watched you live stream for a week. I'll give you 270 million."
Chen Dongsheng, a big name in the collecting world: "Two hundred and eighty million!"
Eagle Country Grand Duke Auction Company: "Mr. Wang, our auction house pays the highest respect to your ability. I implore you to put this tiger talisman on auction at our auction house and only auction it in China."
……
Netizens were terrified.
A tiger talisman costs more than 200 million yuan, but the problem is that so many people are scrambling to buy it.
The price has risen to 300 million.
Wang Chen felt a little toothache. Why were these people like hungry wolves?
"Don't worry, the tiger talisman has not been appraised yet. We will ask some authoritative experts to take a look at it and then proceed with the auction process."
He said it out loud.
Those people in the live broadcast room no longer post barrage comments.
then.
Wang Chen was under the gaze of more than 50 million people.
Open the last box.
What was inside also surprised him.
I saw a tall yellow jade cup lying quietly on the yellow cloth.
The cup body is carved with cirrus patterns, and the top of the cup mouth is carved with flowing cloud patterns.
Looks exquisite and noble.

"It looks like a wine glass."
"The tomb owner is just like what Lao Wang said. He likes to drink and he has to carry the wine glass with him even after he dies."
"It's actually made of jade. Shouldn't it be copper?"
"Old Wang, what is this?"
After the previous rounds of treasure baptism, Wang Chen became much calmer.
"If I remember correctly, this is a dew drinking cup."
"What is a dew drinking cup?"
"It's for drinking water, not drinking wine?"
"It's over. Judging from Lao Wang's expression, this thing is definitely not cheap. I'm guessing 50 million!!"
"It's just a jade cup. It's not like it hasn't been dug up before. How can it be worth so much money? Could it be used by the emperor? But this is not the emperor's tomb."
Wang Chen picked up the jade cup.
Kun'er, the archaeological expert in front of the screen, tensed up.
Oh my goodness! Please don't drop this thing!
Wang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "As the name suggests, a dew drinking cup is a cup used to drink water. In the eyes of the ancients, drinking dew from a jade cup can prolong one's life."
"The jade cup in my hand is yellow, which means it was used by the emperor. If we think of this as the ancient tomb of a Qin general, then the owner of this jade cup is most likely Qin Shi Huang."
"It is recorded in history books that the First Emperor was obsessed with drinking dew and taking elixirs. Every morning he would collect dew from a golden plate and put it into a tall jade cup to drink, hoping that it would accumulate and one day he would become an immortal!"
Wang Chen paused for a moment.
"If my guess is correct, this high-footed jade cup is worth at least 200 million."
Netizens were stunned after hearing this.
For a while, there were very few comments in the live broadcast room.
Then it burst like a dam flood.
"How much did Lao Wang say???"
"He said 200 million for this jade cup. He said it was possible that it was used by Qin Shi Huang..."
