Chapter 1152: An Unusual Task

Meng Zitao followed the driver to the living room, and there were already three people in the room at this time, all three of whom had been met before, and one of them was the fat man surnamed Chen.

This is not as open as the previous villa, the space is not so open, everyone's seats are relatively close, and Meng Zitao and Pan Yihui are sitting next to the fat man.

The fat man is also a self-acquaintance, and when he is bored, he wants to talk to someone, but there is a cold-faced man sitting next to him, and after saying a few words, the other party just ignores him, he feels bored, and turns his target to Meng Zitao.

"Brother, it looks a little untouched, is this the first time you've come?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "The first time you came, how many times have you been here?"

The fat man wrenched his hand and counted: "A total of six times, speaking of which, your luck is really good, the first time you came, you were favored by He Ye." Like me, it's only once in six times. ”

Meng Zitao said: "To be honest, I am also a little foggy, and I don't know how I was chosen. ”

The fat man said: "There is no law in this matter, it all depends on whether He Ye thinks you are pleasing to the eye." Just like me, I used to be more than 30 pounds fatter than now, but now that I am thinner, He Ye looks at me pleasing to the eye. ”

Meng Zitao laughed.

"Don't laugh, I used to be really fat......"

Chen Fatzi is a chatter, chattering, and there is no time to stop talking. Fortunately, Meng Zitao has cultivated the ability to enter the left ear and exit the right ear, which is basically not affected.

During this period, someone came in again, and it was the shopkeeper Xia. After he sat down for a while, He Yan Shi Shiran walked in.

"Hello everyone, I've kept you waiting. He Yan waved his hand to everyone.

"He Ye is polite. Everyone stood up and said hello.

"Sit, sit down, let's talk. ”

He Yan sat down on the Taishi chair and smiled: "I won't say much more, let me explain first, why do you want to invite everyone to come and get together." In fact, your main task is to help me do something, and if it is done, I will transfer my years of treasure to you. Of course, this is not mandatory, and you can choose not to do it if you don't want to. ”

At this time, the poker face sitting next to Fat Chen asked, "Old He, can we know what you want us to do?"

He Yan nodded: "I can't tell you the specific things, but the place I'm going to this time is Myanmar, and my life may be in danger." Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and I will do my best to ensure your safety. ”

The one sitting next to the poker face said a little embarrassedly: "He Ye, it's not that I don't want to go to Myanmar, I have an enemy over there, I'm afraid that I will cause trouble after I go, so I can only say sorry to you." ”

"Understandable. He Yan nodded, and then let the one go.

After the others left, He Yan clapped his hands, and saw a man in a black suit walking in with a tray and placing it on the table next to He Yan.

He Yan Yan said: "Next, please come to the stage to take a look at these two bronze mirrors. After reading it, you should write down your opinions on a piece of paper, and be careful that it cannot exceed ten words. ”

Everyone stepped forward in order, and soon it was Meng Zitao's turn.

There are two copper mirrors, one copper mirror is a furnace shape, and the other is a treasure bottle shape. The ornamentation of the two bronze mirrors is the same, and the edge of the mouth is embossed to look back at the phoenix bird pattern. The center of the main pattern area is embossed lion pattern, and the mane flutters, which is very dynamic. Zhou cast a circle of "iron smelting for example, the clothes can be correct" eight-character inscription.

After a while, He Yan asked people to hand him the piece of paper on which everyone wrote the conclusion, and after he read it, he said to the poker face and Pan Yihuohui: "Two, I'm sorry, I'll give you a small gift later, please don't mind." ”

Although Pan Yihui and Poker Face were confused, He Yan didn't explain, and they didn't want to ask too much, so they got up and followed the people.

He Yan Yan smiled at Chen Fatzi: "Little fatty, I always thought that you didn't know how to learn, but I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable." ”

Fat Chen touched his nose and smiled: "Actually, I also took advantage, I have studied Song Jing more, so I can see it at a glance." ”

"Luck is also a form of strength. He Yan smiled, and then sent the paper just now to each of them: "You can each take a look at what you wrote." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the meaning was almost the same, but Meng Zitao also wrote the word "Tang Dynasty" at the end, which surprised Chen Fatzi and Shopkeeper Xia.

He Yan Yan said to Meng Zitao: "Shi Xiaoyou, please comment on these two bronze mirrors." ”

Meng Zitao said: "You're welcome, this is a pair of copper mirrors of the same mold and shape. In ancient times, the production of bronze mirrors was to ram out a lot of mirrors on the same mirror model, and the mirror model was dried and baked into a pottery model, and then many identical copper mirrors were cast with these same pottery models. ”

After the Western Han Dynasty, the bronze mirror began to be popularized and became a commodity, and after the successful casting, it was sold in all directions, and the two identical bronze mirrors cast by Fan from a mold rammer can be preserved to this day and can be placed together The probability is small and small. What's more, it is still a copper mirror of the same mold and special-shaped, which is extremely rare......"

"Well said!" He Yan applauded: "However, why did you write the word 'Tang Dynasty', and what does it have to do with 'Tang Dynasty'?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "These two bronze mirrors have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, they are both made in the Southern Song Dynasty, as for why I want to write about the Tang Dynasty, the reason is very simple, if I am not wrong, the bronze mirror and those antiques of the Tang Dynasty in the morning should be unearthed together, right?"

Meng Zitao's explanation made Chen Fatzi and Shopkeeper Xia stunned.

He Yan looked indifferent and smiled: "Can you give your reason?"

Meng Zitao replied: "In fact, it is very simple, the unearthed traces between the two have their common points, especially the Qin color on this bronze mirror, which is consistent with the previous gold bowl, not surprisingly, the two things should be leaning together, influenced by each other, Qin color has some common characteristics." ”

He Yan laughed: "Shi Xiaoyou looked very carefully, these two bronze mirrors are indeed from the same tomb as those artifacts from the Tang Dynasty." That tomb is a mural tomb, but I can't understand the mural, I wonder if Xiaoyou can solve my doubts?"

Meng Zitao said: "I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, so I can only do my best. ”

"Just do your best. ”

He Yan asked people to bring a stack of rice paper, which was the content of the mural.

Meng Zitao looked at the content on the rice paper, and frowned: "He Ye, why is the mural so blurry?"

He Yan sighed: "No way, the tomb is flooded, and some of the contents have been destroyed." ”

"That's a bit of a problem. Meng Zitao said.

"It's okay, you just have to do your best. He Yan Yan said: "Let me tell you about the structure of the tomb, the tomb is a circular brick imitation wood structure single-room coupon roof tomb, composed of a tomb road, a tomb door and a tomb chamber. The mural is made of two forms: brick carving and painting, and the content is relatively mysterious......"

While listening to He Yan's introduction, Meng Zitao observed the content of the painting, the whole mural is rich in content, the style is simple, the lines are smooth and meandering, and the picture is mysterious and abstract, especially the demon beast with the face of the bull head and horse made by melting the two different arts of brick carving and painting, which is majestic and terrifying, unique and creative, and full of mystery.

It's just that because of the poor preservation, the picture is relatively blurry, and some of the content is even missing, but Meng Zitao can still see from the remaining paintings that this should be a scene of sacrifice, and the sacrificial person wants to use divine power to get rid of the demon beast with the head and horse face.

There should be a key thing on the altar, but it is too blurry to be seen. Meng Zitao carefully identified it, and it looked like a seal.

After a while, after Mencius finished reading all the contents of the paper, he raised his head and asked, "Master He, where is this tomb excavated?"

He Yan said a place, he saw Meng Zitao shook his head, and said, "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"It's weird. ”

Meng Zitao said: "According to the shape, structure and content of the tomb murals, I judge that the age of the tomb should be the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has the characteristics of the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty. But since it is a tomb in the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty, what is the matter with these two bronze mirrors?"

He Yan said: "At this point, I am also more confused, I guess that it may be that the ancient tomb was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and when the tomb owner died, it was already the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Under normal circumstances, it can only be explained in this way. ”

"Let's put this aside for now, Shi Xiaoyou, I don't know what you think of the content on this mural?" asked He Yanyan.

Meng Zitao pondered for a moment and said, "I think the demon beast with the face of a bull and a horse painted on this mural may refer to the Khitan. ”

He Yan's eyes lit up: "Oh, why do you think so?"

Meng Zitao said: "Do you always know the totem of the Khitan clan?"

He Yan said: "It should be a white horse and a green cow." ”

"Yes......"

The origin of the Khitan ancestors is a mythical story, about a goddess who lived in the heavenly palace for a long time, felt that life above the clouds was boring and lonely, she came to the world by the clouds, and sat in a car pulled by a green ox, from a place called "flat forest", down the water.

A "man of God", riding a white horse, went east along the Tu River from the "Mayu Mountain". The goddess riding a green ox cart and the god man riding a white horse meet at the confluence of the Huangshui and Tuhe rivers "Konoha Mountain". The goddess and the man of the gods, let go of the white horse, took away the green ox, and walked opposite each other with joy.

Meng Zitao said: "After the gods and the heavenly maidens were married, this is the legend of the Khitan people about their ancestors. And their totem is the 'White Horse Green Ox'. Combined with the background of the times at that time, I think that the monster with the bull head and horse face in the mural probably refers to the Khitan clan. ”

He Yan laughed: "It is reasonable and well-founded, and it is good, and some experts are nothing more than that." ”

"It's over. ”

Meng Zitao was modest, and then asked, "Master He, I don't know what our mission this time has to do with this mural?"

"Your task is to go to an antique shop in Myanmar and pick up a statue and come back," he said. ”

Meng Zitao said: "If I didn't guess, the theme of the statue is 'white horse and green ox'." ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people, do you have any problems?" He Yan looked at the three of them.

Meng Zitao said: "I have no problem here, but what kind of reward can you give me?"

"What do you want?" asked Ho Yan rhetorically.

Meng Zitao said: "I think this mission should have a certain degree of difficulty, otherwise only one person can go, and there is no need for three people to go together, not to mention that we need a fresh face like us, which shows that there is a conspiracy inside, am I right." ”

He Yan smiled faintly: "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too smart. ”

Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders: "Clever, not so smart that he will be sold, and he also helps the seller count the money." I don't know if He Ye has heard an old saying, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ”

What Meng Zitao meant was nothing more than that if he was to participate in this mission, he would have to pay a very high fee.

"I wonder if this osmanthus cup is enough?"

At this time, a voice came from the side, Mencius looked over there, and an unexpected but reasonable person walked towards him, this person was the Pony King.

Meng Zitao said lightly: "It turned out to be Mr. Ma, I thought you went to Mars." ”

The Pony King smiled and said, "Shi Shao, I'm sorry for what happened last time, but I also had to do it, and there were some accidents, so I had to stop fighting." But this time we can cooperate again, as long as you agree, this osmanthus cup is yours. ”

Seeing Meng Zitao waving his hand, the Pony King looked at him: "This is the real osmanthus cup, do you still think that we are not sincere enough?"

"Yes. Meng Zitao said bluntly: "How much benefit, how much risk, a osmanthus cup is not enough." ”

Pony King said, "I remember that Shi Shao's little niece is Panda Blood, right?"

"Okay, as long as you can guarantee the success of her matching, I will promise you!"

Meng Zitao's people have a three-year-old little niece, she is panda blood, that is, the common name of Rh negative blood type, is a very rare blood species, so it is also called "panda blood", of which AB type Rh negative blood is even rarer, and his little niece is AB type Rh negative blood.

Unfortunately, his little niece has leukemia and has now gone into remission after four rounds of chemotherapy. To avoid recurrence, doctors advised them to go to a hospital for a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. But how hard is it to find the right bone marrow?

Pony King shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't give you a packing ticket for this matter, we can only find you three suitable source bodies at most, as for whether the match can be successful, it depends on her luck." ”

"Too little......"

Meng Zitao and the Pony King bargained, and finally settled on five.

In fact, Meng Zitao was just putting on a show, even if the other party didn't give the osmanthus cup, he would get involved, because his intuition told him that this time things might be very unusual.

In addition, Meng Zitao faintly had a feeling of falling into a trap, but he was a master of art and boldness, and he was not able to threaten him for the time being, so he did not give up. 2k reading web
