Chapter 399: Another Treasure Map
Judging from the content of the six paintings, it should be about the defeat of a country, and judging from the clothing of the monarch and soldiers, it should be a certain country in the pre-Qin period, and as for which country it is talking about, Mencius Tao does not know.

Because, in the pre-Qin period, there were countless large and small countries that were destroyed and disappeared from the stage of history, some of which were not even recorded in detail in the history books, let alone known to the people.
For example, I believe that many people have not heard of the small country of Jiafu in the area of Lu Province today, and there is no historical record of when the Jiafu country was established, and it is not known when the Jiafu country was destroyed.
It is only known that in 526 BC, the Duke of Qi Jinggong forced the states of Xu, Tan, and Ju to join the alliance group headed by the state of Qi. Xu Guo surrendered to Qi and gave the Dading of Jia's father country as a gift to Qi Jinggong.
From this, it can be inferred that the Jiafu Kingdom was probably destroyed by the Xu State during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Dading has been preserved as a souvenir by the Xu State.
To get back to the point, it is precisely because of the lack of historical materials in the pre-Qin period that there are few relevant records in many countries, so if you want to know which country is recorded in the map, you must have more clues.
Meng Zitao looked at the six pictures again, and then looked at the words written on the skin.
There are two paragraphs of the text recorded above, all of which are small characters, and with Mencius Tao's eyesight, it is a little difficult to look at.
However, I don't know if it's because of the age, a piece of text looks blurry, and I can't see what it is.
The handwriting of the other paragraph is very clear, and when Mencius finished reading this paragraph, he understood why the other paragraph was blurred.
It turned out that the original owner of this skin was a man named Meng Wenzhong in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who was very obsessed with gold and stone science, and also had deep attainments.
One day, Meng Wenzhong went out to play, and met a scholar who was in the middle of the road, because the family couldn't live anymore, and wanted to sell the books at home for emergency relief, he was very interested, so he followed the scholar home.
When he got there, Meng Wenzhong found that the scholar's family had a lot of books, some of which were relatively rare, so he directly bought all the books he could buy.
When he returned home, Meng Wenzhong began to tidy up without sleeping and eating, but he didn't expect that he actually found a treasure of the ancient country of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
As for which pre-Qin ancient kingdom it was, Meng Wenzhong probably did not say it out of his own considerations.
After that, Meng Wenzhong conducted arduous research, and finally found the location of the altar in the last painting.
There are countless gold, silver and jewels hidden there, which are intended to be used as funds for the rise of the country. However, the descendants of that country, because of infighting, did not enjoy this amazing wealth, and finally cheapened Meng Wenzhong.
However, at that time, the world was in turmoil, and it was difficult for Meng Wenzhong to enjoy this wealth, originally, he was very disappointed in the mediocrity of the Ming Dynasty, and he also had the idea of giving this treasure to the Qing court in exchange for his family's rich life, however, when he was about to return home from the treasure hunt, he got a bad news, the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city, and his home had been reduced to ruins.
In this case, Meng Wenzhong already hated the Qing court to the core, and it was impossible to give up the treasure at all. Besides, at that time, his attention was on his family, and he didn't have time to deal with the treasure.
The hard work paid off, and Meng Wenzhong finally got the information that his family had escaped, but there was no way to know where he had fled.
So, Meng Wenzhong began a long journey to find his family, because of the chaos, he almost died several times, and when he found Yingdu, his body couldn't stand it and fell ill, and he couldn't get up.
After that, Meng Wenzhong left these contents on this skin, and used secret methods to write down the true content of the treasure, and only his descendants can use their own blood to show the handwriting content.
This passage ends abruptly here, as for why the thing was hidden in a brick, and appeared in the place just now, Mencius Tao does not know, and it doesn't matter if he knows this kind of thing or not, now there is one word to describe his mood, that is, "depressed".
Think about it, how many years have passed since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and there have been countless wars and turmoil, who knows if Meng Wenzhong's descendants are still alive? Even if he is alive, where can he go to find it? This is not what a cheating father is.
Thinking of the end, Meng Zitao was a little angry, thinking, anyway, his surname is Meng, so let's just die and be a live horse doctor. So, he pricked his fingertips with a needle, squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the blurred text, and the blood was immediately absorbed by the skin.
Meng Zitao was originally very happy, but after waiting for a while, he didn't react at all, which made him somewhat disappointed, but it didn't surprise him, after all, how can there be so many such coincidences. As for saying that the blood was quickly absorbed, it should be that Meng Wenzhong obtained the characteristics of this alien animal skin.
Meng Zitao smiled bitterly and put things away, feeling that he was a little unlucky, obviously he had obtained the key clues, but he was just a foot away from this, this piece of skin was like this, and so was the so-called Yangshan treasure before.
"Hey, since you don't want me to get the treasure, why do you let me get these things, isn't this deliberately torturing people?"
Meng Zitao was a little complaining, and then simply went to bed to sleep, out of sight.
The next day, Dajun originally wanted to accompany Meng Zitao to some scenic spots around, but he didn't expect Dajun's brother-in-law Leng Hui to come to the door, saying that she wanted to invite Meng Zitao to her mother's house to help identify some things.
Of course, Meng Zitao would not refuse this kind of thing, everyone had dinner, and the army called a car and set off for Leng Hui's mother's house.
Leng Hui's mother's house is in a town next door, the house was built in recent years, and the decoration is very good.
Leng Hui's parents have a total of two children, Leng Hui and her eldest brother, and her parents live with her eldest brother. Since it was a working day, Leng Hui's eldest brother worked outside, his son was in elementary school, and Leng Hui's parents and sister-in-law were left at home.
Leng Hui's parents still have a small shop at their house, and the business is usually not bad, but when Meng Zitao and they arrived there, Leng Hui's mother and sister-in-law were doing business and seemed to be a little busy.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw Leng Hui coming in with the army and Meng Zitao, they hurriedly said hello, and then asked Leng Hui's father to come out to entertain the guests.
Leng Hui's father is also an honest man, but he is more introverted, and he is enthusiastic about dealing with people, but he doesn't know what to say.
After a while, Leng Hui's mother came over, her personality was much more extroverted, and she could speak well, it is estimated that Leng Hui's father is likely to be managed to death at home.
Hearing that Meng Zitao was the appraisal master, Leng Hui's mother was somewhat surprised, after all, she couldn't do things well without hair on her mouth, but thinking that Meng Zitao was the boss of the army, she chose to believe it.
After chatting for a while, Leng Hui brought up the matter, so Leng Hui's parents hurriedly went to the house to get things out and let Meng Zitao identify them. Among them, there are pen holders, inkstones, blue and white bowls, blue and white small jars, etc., there are more than a dozen pieces.
Although there were many things, Meng Zitao glanced at them, but found that most of these things were relatively ordinary civilian items, and he did not find any treasures.
Despite this, Meng Zitao still carefully inspected it, and after the appraisal was completed, he explained it carefully to everyone. Therefore, although Meng Zitao was young, because what he said was reasonable, he still made Leng Hui's parents believe in his judgment.
"In general, except for this small blue and white jar and inkstone, the others are relatively ordinary things, although there are some years, but at that time the production volume was relatively large, and the artistic value was not high, so the market price was not high. However, these things are very pleasing to the eye, and it is good to use them as decorations. ”
Two of the dozen things were picked out, which made Leng Hui's mother and sister-in-law more disappointed, but Leng Hui's father could see it a little more, he said: "It's good to have two good things, if the old things are all valuable, then it's impossible." ”
"I want you to talk more!"
Leng Hui's mother replied angrily, and then asked Meng Zitao with a smile: "Boss Meng, how much can this jar and inkstone be worth?"
Meng Zitao replied: "If the jar is used, the market price will be about seven or eight thousand, but if you sell it, you will definitely not be able to sell it for this money, and if someone asks for it, it will be about the same." As for the inkstone at about fifteen thousand, the same is true. ”
"That's right. Leng Hui's mother thought for a while, and then asked, "Then do you accept it?"
Meng Zitao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I can accept it, but we are in business, if you want me to buy it at this price, it will definitely be impossible, otherwise I will lose money." ”
Seeing that Leng Hui's sister-in-law seemed a little disapproving, Meng Zitao continued: "I suggest that you can find someone else to ask, and listen to it." ”
To be honest, Meng Zitao doesn't like to deal with people who are too shrewd, if it's a treasure, it's okay, if it's just such a relatively ordinary product, he buys it at the market price, it's not a problem with his brain.
Seeing that Meng Zitao said it so calmly, Leng Hui's parents already believed it, but Leng Hui's sister-in-law was still a little skeptical.
Leng Hui's sister-in-law saw that her in-laws had the idea of selling these two things, so she made an excuse and brought Leng Hui's parents to the back room to discuss.
Leng Hui's mother said: "I think what he said is very good, and he is the boss of the army, so he shouldn't suffer a loss if he sells things." ”
Leng Hui's sister-in-law pursed her lips disdainfully: "That's Junzi's boss, not Junzi's brother, can he still think about us?" Besides, he's so young, who knows if what he said is right, I think it's better to find someone to take a look, lest the things are sold, and if you suffer a loss, you won't come back." ”
Leng Hui's father opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips and did not express any opinions. (To be continued.) )
