Zheng Anzhi's words made Meng Zitao a little confused, and said, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "To put it simply, the work unit of the Cultural Relics Bureau is only for outsiders to see. ”

Meng Zitao was a little confused, and said, "Can you make it clearer?"

Zheng Anzhi put a book of materials in front of Meng Zitao and said, "You can take a look at these materials first." ”

Meng Zitao picked up the information and read it, and the content of the article made him stunned at the same time, but also understood what was going on.

In ancient times, many emperors often prayed for immortal law in order to sit on that dragon chair all the time, hoping to live with heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and moon.

For example, the famous Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Jin Ai, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, etc., all have this idea, and some historians believe that the real cause of Li Shimin's death was caused by taking pills, otherwise he would not have died at the age of 50.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's pursuit of immortality began to germinate again, with the progress of society and the renewal of concepts, Ming Shizong Jiajing's pursuit is not only limited to immortality, he hopes to live forever at the same time, but also to maintain influence on the beautiful concubines.

So, Jiajing listened to the requirements of the warlocks and successively recruited more than 1,000 girls into the palace to make medicines. Since then, he has been hiding in the deep palace and has not been in the court for more than 20 years.

Speaking of Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao, one day, accompanied by Hakka, Wei Zhongxian and others, he went to Xiyuan to play on a cruise ship. Drink on a large boat in the shallow water north of the bridge. He went to a small boat in deep water with Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian and two cronies, but the boat was overturned by a gust of wind, and he accidentally fell into the water and almost drowned.

Although he was rescued, after this fright, he fell to the root of the disease, and many treatments were ineffective, and his health deteriorated. Later, Shangshu Huo Weihua offered a "fairy medicine", called Linglu Drink, saying that it could produce immediate results after taking it, fitness and longevity, Zhu Youxiao drank it according to his words, but he died because of it.

In fact, it is recorded in the information in Meng Zitao's hand that before Zhu Youxiao got the Linglu drink, he also found many ways, and for this reason, he also formed a special team to "search for Lingwei", just to find the elixir to cure himself.

Speaking of which, I don't know if you have heard of Zhu Youxiao sending people to rob the tomb.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, as the power of the Jurchens became stronger and stronger, coupled with the influence of traitorous ministers within the court, the power of the Zhu family was already shaky. At this juncture, Zhu Youxiao was anxious, but his subordinates quietly told him that the reason why the Jurchen clan was so strong was actually because of the resurgence of the dragon qi of the Jin Kingdom more than three hundred years ago.

In order to keep the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao specially arranged for his subordinates to dig the ancestral graves of the Jurchen tribe, hoping to cut off their dragon veins.

At that time, Nurhachi had completed the unification of the Jurchen tribes and officially established the state as "Jin", aiming to regain the former territory of the Jurchen people and recreate the glorious scene of the past.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao successively sent two groups of people to steal and excavate the mausoleum located in Jiulong Mountain, and they smashed all the tombs of King Jin, not only destroyed all the decorative parts, but also filled the underground palace with rubble.

Not only that, but under the guidance of the feng shui physiognographer, they cut off a mountain rock on the Ruiling Tomb, and then cut a hole in the throat of the dragon vein, which means that this dragon vein will be turned into a dead dragon. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they built a number of Guan Gong temples around them to suppress the dragon qi of the privet clan.

Of course, whether this matter is true or not, there is no clear evidence now, and after Mencius saw it before, he also laughed at it, and it should be a wild history.

Now that Meng Zitao looked at the information in his hand, he knew that this matter may not be without a cause, because in order to find the prescription of the panacea, Xun Lingwei did everything, and because the ancient nobles liked thick burials, there was no shortage of various materials, so for Xun Lingwei, it was normal for such a thing as stealing.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao whined and lamented, because he knew that there were few people looking for Lingwei, this team was not disbanded, and the leader was loyal to Zhu Youxiao, and he was actually whimsical, wanting to resurrect Zhu Youxiao, and kept looking for the art of resurrection and immortality. And the descendants of that leader have always adhered to this goal.

After reading these materials, Meng Zitao also understood a little, and said: "Master, that is to say, the person who helped Jiang Siyuan is the one who seeks Lingwei?"

"Yes. Zheng Anzhi nodded.

"It's all in this age, is the power of Xunlingwei still very strong?" Meng Zitao asked again.

Zheng Anzhi said: "During the last century, the power of the Lingwei did decrease a lot, but over the years, due to social changes, the power of the Lingwei has begun to grow again, and even all walks of life have been infiltrated by them. Moreover, this organization is completely in the shadows, and there is a very covert method of transmitting information, and if there is no evidence, it is completely impossible to find the members of the Soul Guard. ”

Meng Zitao understood: "In other words, the department I am in now is actually to uproot the Soul Guard?"

"That's just one of them. ”

Zheng Anzhi said: "However, because you are not a full member now, you are in the stage of being observed, and the rest cannot be told to you for the time being." ”

Although Meng Zitao was curious, since the master didn't say it, he didn't force it, and asked, "Then do I have other tasks now?" Or can I become a full member as soon as the time comes?"

Zheng Anzhi said: "Of course it can't be, I'll give you a task now." ”

You say. ”

"Do you remember the last time you got the news from Wan Jiaxiang?"

"You know, the porcelain maker is in Yingdu, right?"

Zheng Anzhi nodded and said, "Yes, but who the hell has not been found yet, I want you to go to Yingdu to see the situation." ”

Meng Zitao said: "It's no problem for me to go, but how can I find it after I go?"

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "Actually, there are also some clues over there, and the main reason for letting you go is that you are lucky, and the chance of finding it may be greater." ”

Meng Zitao didn't expect this to be the reason, and said with a wry smile: "Master, luck is too illusory, you can't take it seriously." ”

Zheng Anzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know in my heart, you can go, even if there is no result, it is not a big deal, and you don't put pressure on yourself." ”

"Okay......"

After having lunch at Zheng Anzhi's place, Meng Zitao went back to the villa to take a look. The renovation of the villa is nearing completion, there are still some small details to be taken care of, and all the places are in line with his expectations, very satisfied.

Coming out of the community, Meng Zitao drove to the antique market, preparing to visit Wang Zhixuan at Zhengyixuan.

Since this Sunday is the wedding day, Wang Menghan and Cheng Qiheng, the newlyweds, are now observing the venue in the hotel, and now only Wang Zhixuan and the clerk are in the store. In fact, if it weren't for the processed golden bowl, Meng Zitao might have gone directly to the hotel to have a look.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Zhixuan pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "Look at it, to be honest, I envy your luck." ”

Meng Zitao couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, only to see a golden bowl inside, which made him a little stunned at first sight, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

Subsequently, Meng Zitao hurriedly put on gloves and carefully picked up the golden bowl, only to see that the ornamentation on it was unusually complicated, divided into the inner wall and the outer wall, in which the ornamentation of the inner wall was divided into two areas of the bowl wall and the bottom of the bowl, the bowl wall was engraved with figures, pines and cypresses, and the main beasts, one side was the fairy figure, the fairy robe was fluttering, and one side was the march forward, high-spirited and mighty.

At the bottom of the bowl is the Hu people dance music, one person dances in the center, six musicians sit around, and musical instruments such as qin, sheng, and flute can be seen. The seven were dressed in bearded clothes, wrapped in turbans, and three wore beards, happy and happy.

The mouth of the golden bowl is decorated with a curly grass pattern for a week, and the whole body is covered with caviar ground. The outer wall of the golden bowl is also decorated with curly grass patterns, and there are spirit animals running and playing in the meantime.

Mencius observed for a moment, and this piece of gold should be a feature of the Tang Dynasty in terms of shape and craftsmanship.

Speaking of which, the gold and silver ware of the Tang Dynasty is a gorgeous treasure in the ancient arts and crafts. The decoration of gold and silver patterns in the Tang Dynasty shows the characteristics of rich content, beautiful shape, reasonable layout, and diverse decorative forms. The Tang Dynasty gold and silver patterns were widely decorated, the most important of which was the application of realistic decorative patterns. Moreover, the pattern decoration is vivid, dynamic and beautiful, and has a strong sense of decoration.

This golden bowl can be said to perfectly embody the characteristics of Tang Dynasty gold, which makes Mencius Tao breathtaking.

Wang Zhixuan was not surprised by Meng Zitao's performance, thinking that at the beginning, when this golden bowl had not yet shown its full appearance, he already couldn't put it down, and after dealing with it, he studied it for several days.

"Xiao Meng, your golden bowl, in any aspect, is much stronger than the first golden bowl of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "That's not necessarily, after all, I haven't seen the golden bowl with my own eyes." ”

Wang Zhixuan said that the golden bowl is hidden in the Sanqin Provincial Museum, the gold bowl decoration is also quite complex and exquisite, and its inner wall ink book "nine two halves" three characters, this kind of ink script to indicate the weight of the gold ware, is an important basis for judging the Tang Dynasty gold. It is said that this bowl is one of the richest and most ornate pieces of Tang Dynasty gold and silver ware known, representing the highest achievement of the Tang Dynasty's gold and silver craftsmanship.

Wang Zhixuan shook his head: "I have seen that golden bowl, first of all, it is smaller than your golden bowl in terms of size, and it is a little dwarfed by yours in terms of decoration, and it is definitely not as good as your golden bowl." I think it's going to change its name. ”

"Then I'm sure I can't ask for it. Meng Zitao smiled.

Speaking of which, gold and silver in ancient times is the foundation of the economic system, whenever the dynasty changes, many of the gold and silver of the previous dynasty will be re-cast, the Tang Dynasty has changed several dynasties to the present, so the number of gold and silver is extremely rare, coupled with the quality of this gold bowl, the value can be described as amazing.
