872 This is a national treasure!
"Boss, are there treasures hidden in these sarcophagus?" asked Leon in a low voice.
There are indeed treasures hidden here, but these treasures are not in the sarcophagus, but in the walls, and if they want to break through the wall and take the contents without realizing it, Li Ang can't help. There are so many people coming and going in this church, even in the basement, it is almost impossible to break through the walls and take the treasures inside without alarming anyone. Therefore, if you want to take the treasures here without knowing it, you can't even use the ability of a cultivator. It's basically an impossible task to take the things here without alerting anyone, and not to destroy the wall.
If there are no conditions, not to mention whether God is not afraid of ghosts, then Li Huan has 800,000 ways to take away this batch of treasures, but this is under the church, Li Huan can't make such a big fanfare, he must quietly get these things away without anyone knowing. If this is in the wild, there is no problem, then Li Huan will not consider the issue of movement, whether to use explosives or the ability of cultivators, that is, whatever is used, what is fast. But this is someone's church, in other people's land, to say something unpleasant, if it really alarms the people in the church and makes people find out that Li Huan is digging treasure here, then Li Huan can't take anything away.
Because this is something found in the territory of another country, and it is not yet wild, it is easy to make a wedding dress for people.
Each country in this world has a different interpretation of the ownership of the treasure found, and most countries only need to find something in the territory that does not have the right to belong, that is, it is owned by the state, and no individual or group is allowed to touch it. For example, if you find a hundred gold coins, and if you are sure that the gold coins are ownerless, then you can legally own the treasure as long as you pay fifty gold coins to the country. There is the last one, and the least, the state does not care about you, as long as it is something you find on your land, it is all yours, and the state has no right to collect anything. However, there are very few countries that implement such a system.
Of course, the Philippines enforces the law of national requisition, and whatever is found on the land is ownerless, it is owned by the government. Moreover, this is a national of the Philippines, and if it is a foreigner, it will even break the law. Not long ago, there was a news that a Japanese teenager felt that he had found the treasures left by the Japanese ** team, so he came to the Philippines with several people to dig everywhere in the name of tourism, but not only did not dig out anything, but was arrested because of their suspicious behavior, and finally the Japanese embassy personally negotiated to bring them out.
Of course, even if Li Huan is discovered, it is unlikely that he will be arrested, and even if someone wants to arrest him, it is unlikely that he will be caught. However, once Li Huan violently resists or escapes, the Philippines will not do anything to him, but once this matter is sued by the Philippine government, Li Huan will have to drink a pot.
So Li Huan had to act quietly, and he could only use the virtual space to collect it slowly.
But Li Huan will never expose the secrets of the virtual space, so this treasure hunting operation is destined to be his own action, Li Ang They can't participate, but Li Huan won't hide the treasure from them.
"Yes, there is treasure here, and the quantity is not good. Li Huan nodded without a trace and said, "But it's more difficult to take it from here, once these priests are alarmed, it is likely that these things will not belong to us." So, I'm the only one in this matter, and it can't be now, for now, let's leave first, and then I'll sneak in. ”
Hearing Li Huan's words, the expression on Li Ang's face did not move, this product has been perfectly matched with Li Huan, seeing Li Huan's expression, Li Ang began to let Jean: "Okay, okay, my wish is fulfilled, Mr. Pastor, I saw what I was looking for today, and I am very satisfied, so let's leave this place next, and then talk about the donation of 300,000 US dollars." ”
"Great, it's lucky to find the person you're looking for!" the pastor was overjoyed when he heard Leon's words: "Okay, okay." ”
I don't know how Leon negotiated with the high priest again, and I don't know if he gave the money, anyway, the high priest finally sent Li Ang out of the church with a smile. No matter what promises are made, they are empty words. Where do you want Li Ang to find the ashes and bury them here? If it doesn't become a thing, he has to dig someone else's grave again, right? Anyway, Li Huan knows that as far as Li Ang's character is concerned, he will never do this.
As for the deceived priest, who cares about him? Anyway, he will leave the city early tomorrow morning, and love whoever he loves.
Out of the church, waiting for more than half an hour in the air-conditioned place on the first floor of the shopping center, two girls who were happy to shop walked out hand in arm, sure enough, shopping This kind of activity is absolutely exclusive to women, and the old men had better stay away. While waiting for Yu Ting and them, Li Huan booked a hotel through his mobile phone, which was located four streets east of the shopping mall, and the straight-line distance was only more than 300 meters. Li Ang also returned to the helicopter side and parked the helicopter on the hotel's tarmac, so that there was no need to be guarded, it was a five-star hotel, and there was a treasure parked here.
Li Huan booked the hotel's only two presidential suites, so the hotel would allow helicopters to park on the rooftop tarmac for free.
Dinner is a big meal with local characteristics, and everyone is very happy.
After eating and drinking, no one is convinced, Yu Ting may have been shopping in the afternoon and proposed to go out for a walk.
"Li Huan, I want to take a stroll here at night, I know you're busy, so you don't have to accompany me, just let Agata and Rovisha accompany me. I've heard that the security conditions here are very good, and with the two of them with me, it's absolutely fine here. ”
Li Huan thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "It just so happens that I plan to figure out how to dig up the treasure under the Catholic church at night, so I won't accompany you shopping." Saying that, Li Huan turned his head to Li Ang and said, "Then it's just like this, you go together, when I give you a holiday, there are Agata and Rovisha, plus you will definitely be absolutely safe." It just so happened that I was thinking about what to cut out underneath. ”
Li Ang hesitated slightly, "Boss, why don't I stay with you?"
Li Huan smiled and shook his head, "No need Li Ang, we are all nervous these days, and it is the right thing to do to relax appropriately." And you can't help with the underground treasures of this church, so you can relax tonight, and just go out and take care not to make a mess. ”
"Really?" Li Ang was still not at ease: "Either I will go with you, boss, or I won't go to the basement, and I can help you drag the priest." Think about it, wouldn't it be better for you to do things if no one was around to stop you? And the advantage of me coming with you is that I know the pastor very well now. I can find any reason to break him apart. That's how you're better when you're alone in the basement, right?"
Leon's words are indeed reasonable, and it was Leon who led the pastor away from going to church today, and his work was done very well. In the end, Li Huan didn't ask how he discussed it with the pastor. But according to the woman's understanding of him, this guy will definitely not donate $300,000. Although 300,000 US dollars is not difficult for Li Ang now, every penny is money.
So Li Huan guessed that this guy must not have given money. Not only did he not give money, but he also used his own skills to make the pastor stunned. From here, it can be seen that he can not only fight, but also flicker. If it was usual, Li Huan might have taken him directly, but in today's situation, Li Huan really can't take him with him.
So Li Huan opened the topic and joked: "I said that you are all too nervous in front, so you need to relax." I don't need anyone to accompany me tonight, you can do whatever you have to do, as long as you keep Miss Yu safe. Leon, you've been with me for so long, don't you still know what I'm capable of? And I seem to be the kind of person who doesn't know what to do...... I see, are you afraid that I won't give you the treasure when I find it? Don't worry, what I say counts, and whatever I find, yours will definitely have a share. Now your job is to protect Miss Yu well, and then let yourself relax, and follow the boss back to share the money with you. ”
"Hey, boss, do you think I'm the kind of person who wants money and doesn't want to die? I'm really worried about a person
It's not good to work, that's why I'm following you. Li Ang scratched his head: "Is money a thing......
"What, don't want it?"
"Yes!"
Li Huan's words of teasing Li Ang made everyone at the table laugh. Here you can see how good Li Huan's relationship with his subordinates is. Where would a normal hired bodyguard make such a joke with the boss? And the boss won't take the initiative to say that I will share anything I find. Here you can see how close Li Huan and his subordinates are - of course, this kind of intimacy does not come for nothing, that is because Li Huan knows that Li Ang can really risk his life for himself, so Li Huan has never treated them badly when it comes to money.
But money is one thing, Xiao Fei's existence and secrets such as virtual space, Li Huan still won't say.
The hotel booked by Li Huan is the best hotel in Laoag, and Li Huan is a guest who rents the presidential suite, and the hotel must attach great importance to this kind of distinguished guest, and it can't be said that there is absolutely no problem with safety or something, but there should not be too much of a problem. Therefore, Li Ang and the others agreed with Li Huan's statement and followed Yu Ting to go shopping.
Li Huan didn't go back to the room directly, but followed him outside, bought a bag of cement from a building materials store next to the hotel, found a place where no one was and threw the cement directly into the storage space, then returned to the room and locked the door, got into the bathroom of the suite, poured out some of the cement he had just bought, mixed it with water, and then put it into the space.
Li Huan had already figured out how he could take these things away without realizing it.
After doing this, Li Huan took advantage of the night to let Xiao Fei investigate all the monitoring positions on the street, and then avoided the crowd without stopping, and returned to the northeast corner of the third floor of the catacombs of St. Williams Metropolitan Cathedral again. Because Li Huan had already figured out the situation when he came in the morning, he was even more familiar with coming in this time. As for the people in the church, with Li Huan's ability, they all fainted with a mental impact - what Li Huan wanted to do this time was to be a real god without knowing it.
It's just that coming to such a gloomy place at this time, Rao is Li Huan is not small, and he is also a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, in the Chinese tradition...... This should be called a morgue.
And Li Huan just stunned everyone in this church with a mental shock, but this is for secrecy, not to kill, because I am afraid of hurting their brains, so this mental impact is very shallow, and everyone will wake up in about an hour, so Li Huan can't delay too much.
He first put the sarcophagus directly into the virtual space, without the sarcophagus blocking the way, Li Huan went directly into the upper layer of the stone frame, and then used the aura jet to directly cut a hole in the wall, because the aura jet was extremely sharp, so none of the things that were cut off were dropped, and when it was over, the dirt could be stuffed back directly- After this hole appeared, a big black hole was exposed, and there was no cool breeze gushing out of it, Li Huan let one of Xiao Fei's sub-machines fly in to take a look, and immediately saw the four big iron boxes blocking the entrance of the cave.
It's really in stock here!
After bending down and walking into this cave, Li Huan found that the place where the Japanese country hid treasures back then was not small, with an area of more than 20 square meters and a height of more than two meters. Six large iron boxes one meter square were neatly placed on the ground, and he took out a strong flashlight to open it, and through the strong flashlight, he could clearly see that the six large boxes had been rusted. However, the iron plates used in these six large iron boxes are very thick, and even after more than 70 years of storage in this environment, these large boxes have not been rusted.
Li Huan knew that he was being a thief now, and this was not a good time to take a closer look at these treasures, so he didn't say a word and directly put these boxes into the virtual space. After carefully checking that there was nothing missing, Li Huan bent down and walked out of the hole that had just been opened, and then stuffed back all the things that had just been cut by the aura jet. In order to prevent this hole from being discovered by others, Li Huan took out the cement that had just been mixed from the hotel bathroom, and then used a piece of wood to evenly spread the cement into the gap. The walls of the catacombs were also made of masonry and cement, and now the seams are made of cement, so that no one else will discover the secrets. Of course, the new cement hook must be a little different from the old cement, but it doesn't matter, when Li Huan took this wall just now, he deliberately chose the position where the sarcophagus was blocked.
As long as the sarcophagus is put back in its place, no one will be able to see the traces of the new cement, and unless someone is idle and has nothing to do to remove the sarcophagus, after a while, the new cement will become no different from the cement elsewhere.
After doing all this and putting it back in the sarcophagus, after Li Huan returned the same way, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, and it took only twenty minutes before and after to get this treasure!
made a call to Yu Ting and learned that this girl was having fun, so she hung up the phone after a few words, and then immersed herself in the virtual space.
The six large iron boxes were neatly placed in the space, which made Li Huan feel inexplicably happy in his heart.
The six-mouth big iron box can be said to be the first big harvest of this trip to the Philippines - in terms of volume alone, it is much better than the first time those bits and pieces of gems, but I don't know what good things are inside.
If there are no good things, Li Huan will be very unhappy. This trip to the Philippines, although it was for Yu Ting, but as the saying goes, thieves don't go empty, not only did they not have any big gains before, but they also encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and super typhoons, which made people sick to death. If there is nothing good to gain this time, Li Huan thinks that God is really sorry for being so diligent...... Rubbing his hands, Li Huan opened the first box with his consciousness, and it turned out that it was not imaginary gold or other precious metals, but a layer of heavy oilcloth wrapped in something, and this layer of oilcloth also made Li Huan happy.
Obviously, this heavy layer of tarpaulin must be wrapped in good things, otherwise it would not have been so careful when the Japanese ** team hid it in this place when they fled.
Not bad, the tarpaulin is well preserved in the iron box, at least no damage has been found.
Gently uncovered this layer of oilcloth, and the contents of the oilcloth immediately made Li Huan's eyes straight.
In the box, there are more than a dozen gilded Buddha statues with exquisite workmanship, about 40 centimeters high, and different shapes, or simply these Buddha statues are pure gold Buddha statues. Li Huan used his consciousness to take out the space of these dozen Buddha statues, and sure enough, this heavy feeling can prove that these ten or so Buddha statues are not gilded, but made of real pure gold.
These Buddha statues have Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, and more Guanyin statues, with different shapes. However, the shape of these Buddha statues, Li Huan, seems to be different from the Buddha statues he saw in the temple...... Li Huan can't say what the difference is, but he feels that it is different from what he usually seems.
Could it be that this is some kind of strange Buddha statue, or is this the kind of wrong and out-of-print thing?
Li Huan called out a sub-machine with a thought: "Xiaofei, scan this Buddha statue and see what it is......"
Xiao Fei quickly gave the answer - Li Huan was overjoyed at first sight, and although it was not the kind of Buddha statues he often saw, this Buddha statue was more precious - these Buddha statues did not come from orthodox Chinese Buddhism, but from the Angkor dynasty - the history of their production ranged from 1190 to 1432 AD. Judging from the production age of these Buddha statues, it also proves that that era was the beginning and heyday of Buddhism in the Angkor Dynasty.
You know, in the early days of the Angkor Dynasty, most of the people of Angkor worshipped Lord Shiva, but during the reign of Suryavarman II, that is, in the early 12th century, this great king converted to Vishnu and replaced the original statue of Shiva in the temple with a statue of Vishnu during his reign of the Angkor Dynasty. However, thirty years after the death of Suryavarman II, another greater king of the Angkor dynasty, Jayavarman VII, succeeded to the throne.
During his reign, the greatest king of the Angkor dynasty propelled the Angkor dynasty to its heyday, becoming Cambodia's most prestigious ancient monarch. However, the king embraced Buddhism and regarded Avalokiteshvara as the protector of the Khmer people, believing that he could guide people to the Pure Land of Bliss, and built statues of Guanyin all over the country. These statues of Guanyin
Most of them have half-open eyes, lowered eyes, and a calm and mysterious smile on their mouths, which is called "Khmer smile". During this period, Buddhist temples such as Prasar Puran Kedi, Tarong, Phra Khangan and Pa Rong were built, showing the unique colors of Angkor Buddhism.
Obviously, these Buddha statues were looted from that country when the Japanese army occupied the Khmer. And these Buddha statues that can be treasured by the little devils are naturally the best among them. And these pure gold Guanyin statues are indeed treasures, and any one can be called a Khmer national treasure. Even in China, these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are very valuable.
Great, after his museum opened, it lacked these historically important things, and so many national treasure-level Buddha statues and Guanyin statues were enough to support a single exhibition hall! After admiring these precious pure gold Buddha statues one by one, Li Huan took them back into the space again and began to pay attention to the lower layer of this box. Most of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are less than half a meter high, so they are placed in two layers in this one-meter square box, and there is a partition in the middle of the box. After pulling out the partition, sure enough, there were still more than a dozen Buddha statues and Guanyin statues under the partition, and there were some other Buddha statues with strange shapes. Li Huan identified that those strangely shaped Buddha statues were the pure gold bodies of Lord Shiva and Vishnu.
This big iron box is full of pure gold Buddha statues of different shapes, the lightest weight of a Buddha statue is about 40 kilograms, these 20 Buddha statues, that is close to a ton of weight! Even if they are all pure gold Buddha statues of the Angkor Dynasty, but these Buddha statues have a history of at least 700 years, and the early ones have a history of more than 900 years, not to mention the shape is so exquisite, so the value of this box of pure gold Buddha statues far exceeds the same weight of gold, and the real value is difficult to estimate!
What a good thing!
Li Huan is very satisfied with this good start, just this box of Buddha statues, Li Huan felt that he had stabbed the heart of the Xizhao Society - although it was not ancient porcelain, Li Huan was also very satisfied, mainly because these things were urgently needed by the Xizhao Society, as long as they were urgently needed by the Xizhao Society, even if it was a piece of shit, Li Huan felt that he had to grab it.
After placing these pure gold Buddha statues in the space one by one, Li Huan opened the second iron box with anticipation.
After opening, the second iron box is still a layer of heavy tarpaulin, after uncovering the tarpaulin, there is a layer of silk inside, but because of the relationship between the outside iron box and the tarpaulin protection, this layer of silk is well protected, and the most important thing is that the color of this layer of silk is bright yellow!
This discovery made Li Huan look forward to it even more, and then carefully uncovered this layer of silk, and the first thing that caught his eye made Li Huan's heart shock.
Li Huan immediately opened the second box, but there was no tarpaulin in the second box, and after opening it, there were some rotten and unsightly dead grasses inside, but these dead grasses were tightly stuffed, which made Li Huan a little curious. After pulling away these withered grasses, a large white jar was revealed, especially the blue pattern on the shoulders of the bushes exposed in the middle of these withered grasses, which immediately lifted Li Huan's spirits.
"This is ......" A thought suddenly flashed through Li Huan's mind......
Before Li Huan could say his guess, Xiao Fei had already given an appraisal on the virtual screen: "This is the Yuan Qinghua big pot!"
National treasure, this is a national treasure!
Blue and white porcelain, also known as blue and white porcelain on white ground, often referred to as blue and white, is one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain, which belongs to underglaze colored porcelain. Blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as raw material, depicting ornamentation on the ceramic body, and then covering with a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired at one time by a high-temperature reduction flame. The cobalt material is blue after firing, and has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color. The original blue and white porcelain has been seen in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, blue and white became the mainstream of porcelain. It reached its peak during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it also created and burned blue and white five-colored, peacock green glazed blue and white, bean green glazed blue and white, blue and white red color, yellow ground blue and white, brother glaze blue and white and other derivative varieties.
Blue and white porcelain as early as the Tang Dynasty, but it was carried forward in the Yuan Dynasty, although later Ming blue and white porcelain and Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain workmanship technology is even better than Yuan blue and white, but in the understanding of the Chinese public, when it comes to blue and white porcelain, the first thing that comes to people's mind is Yuan blue and white. Moreover, compared with the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the Yuan blue and white porcelain is more simple and generous, especially the imported green materials used for large vessels, combined with those large vessels, so that the Yuan blue and white porcelain has a unique charm and charm.
Mature blue and white porcelain appeared in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the use of the binary formula of "porcelain stone + kaolin", the content of Al2O3 in the tire is increased, the firing temperature is increased, and the deformation rate in the roasting process is reduced. The carcass of most utensils is also thick, and the shape is thick and full. The tire color is slightly gray and yellow, and the tire is loose. The bottom glaze is divided into two types: blue and egg white, and the milky feeling is strong. The green material used includes two kinds of domestic materials and imported materials: the domestic material is high manganese and low iron type green material, which is blue and grayish black, and the imported material is low manganese high-iron type green material, which is verdant and bright in color, with rust marks. In some utensils, there are also cases where domestic materials and imported materials are used together. The main types of utensils are daily utensils, offering vessels, tomb vessels and other categories, especially the bamboo goblet, with a seat, and the tomb ware are the most characteristic of the times. In addition to the jade pot spring bottom foot glaze, the bottom of other utensils is more sandy and the bottom is unglazed, see flint red.
The biggest feature of the ornamentation of Yuan blue and white is that the composition is plump, and the layers are not chaotic. The brushwork is smooth and powerful with a single stroke, and the outline is thick and composed. The motifs include people, animals, plants, poems, etc. Characters include Gao Shitu, historical figures, etc., animals include dragons and phoenixes, unicorns, mandarin ducks, swimming fish, etc., common plants include peonies, lotuses, orchids, pine, bamboo, plum, Ganoderma lucidum, flowers and leaves, melons and fruits, etc., and poems are very rare. The petals of the painted peony are mostly white-edged, and the dragon pattern is a small head, a thin neck, a long body, three or four claws, a ridge on the back, and the scales are mostly grid-shaped, vigorous and fierce. The auxiliary ornaments are mostly curly grass, lotus petals, ancient money, sea water, back lines, clouds, banana leaves, etc. The shape of the lotus petal pattern resembles a "brace brace", and the lotus petal is often painted with Taoist miscellaneous treasures; the Ruyi cloud pattern is often painted with eight strange sea or folded branch lotus flowers, entwined branch flowers, and painted with third-order clouds; the middle stem of the banana leaf is solid (filled with green material); and the sea pattern is a combination of thick lines and thin lines.
The reason why Yuan Qinghua is famous is because at the auction of Christie's in London on July 12, 2005, a large jar of Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi went down the mountain for 14 million pounds, and after adding commissions, it was 15.688 million pounds, equivalent to about 230 million yuan in China's currency! This price could buy two tons of gold at that time, and also set the highest auction record for Asian artwork and became famous, bringing the blue and white porcelain collection to a new height.
After the sky-high price of the Guiguzi downhill pot was auctioned, Yuan Qinghua completely became famous in China, and the domestic people also thoroughly knew the value of Yuan Qinghua. The Yuan blue and white jar is undoubtedly a first-class national treasure, but unfortunately, there are only one of the nine Yuan blue and white jars in the world.
At present, there are only nine Yuan blue and white jars recognized in the world, among which the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan jar and the Yuan blue and white Sangu Thatched Jar are in the hands of the British, the former is collected by the British antique dealer Eskenazi, and the latter is in the hands of the Pegasses Foundation in the United Kingdom. There are also three large jars in the hands of the Japanese, the Yuan Qinghua Baihuating large jar is now in the collection of the Japanese Manno Art Museum, the Yuan Qinghua Zhaojun Exit Plug Jar is in the Idemitsu Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan, and the Yuan Qinghua Zhou Yafu Hosoyanagiying Large Jar is in the hands of the Japanese Anzhai Art Museum.
The remaining four large jars are in private collections, and their whereabouts are unknown, and it is not known to whom they have now been transferred.
The jar hidden in China under the mountain is unearthed in 1980 in the "Siguanling" of Hengxian County, Bagui, but after this rare treasure was unearthed, it was discarded in the corner for seven years; it was not until 1987 that an agronomist stumbled upon this treasure, and picked it up at home, used to raise flowers and fill seeds; in 1989, cultural relics experts confirmed the identity of this large jar of national treasures, and since then, we also have a large jar of our own Yuan blue and white figures.
If there is no unearthed Yuan blue and white single savior pot, there will not even be a Yuan blue and white character pot in China, which is definitely a sadness.
But now it's different, Li Huan found this treasure, this is definitely a national treasure in porcelain, and it is a national treasure on a par with the "Yuan Qinghua Wei Chi Gong Riding the Savior's Big Jar" in the Boston Museum - the most important thing is that this is equivalent to digging a piece of meat down the body of the sunset!
