Chapter 922: Ice Essence
"Mr. Charles, you are a thief!"
Song Tianyu has been in the Yin Group for so many years, and he really has a sense of national honor, and immediately said: "I don't know, forget it, since I saw it, Mr. Charles, I hope you can return these cultural relics, because they all carry the feelings of our nation." ”
"No, no, no, it can't be!"
Hearing Song Tianyu's words, Charles shook his head again and again and said: "Mr. Song, you must know that these are all problems left over from history, and neither you nor I have the qualifications to evaluate them, and as a person who pursues his own evolution, I don't think we need to waste too much energy on these mundane things." ”
Although the Windsor family does not attach much importance to these secular artifacts, as trophies, they represent the glory of the Windsor family in the past.
What's more, Song Tianyu only saw things from China, such as those cultural relics from Greece and Egypt, which were also displayed in several large rooms, if the cultural relics of China were returned, then how would the problems of other countries be handled, so Charles would not agree to Song Tianyu's request anyway.
"Since it's all mundane, give it back to us. ”
Song Tianyu looked at the bronze heads of the zodiac and said: "Our country has been looking for these bronze heads all these years, but I didn't expect them to be collected by your Windsor family, Mr. Charles, I want to ask you to return these objects, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Song Tianyu knew that the domestic cultural relics department attached great importance to the bronze heads of the zodiac, and last year, the relevant departments even found the hidden group, asking them to transport a copper head back from abroad.
"Is it just these bronze heads?"
Charles hesitated when he heard this, the current Windsor family, there is the Dark One Alliance watching outside, and the Holy See watching inside, life is actually not very good, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with Huaxia cultivators, otherwise it is only nominated by Babru, and Huaxia may not be able to participate in this conference of supernatural beings.
"It would be better if Mr. Charles could return these two figurines. Seeing Charles's demeanor, Song Tianyu's eyes couldn't help but light up, he heard a little bit of the doorway, Charles seemed to have the intention of returning the bronze head of the zodiac.
"That's definitely not going to work, and if this Qin figurine is exposed, I'm afraid your Huaxia side will also be disgraced, right?" After hearing Song Tianyu's words, Charles suddenly smiled bitterly.
As the main spokesperson of the Windsor family, Charles's vein has a lot of power in the family, but he has the authority to dispose of a few bronze heads, but the two Qin figurines were made by the elders of the family with great effort, and Charles did not dare to return them.
"Okay, let's return these six bronze heads first!"
Song Tianyu understood what Charles meant, because since the Terracotta Warriors and Horses appeared, the country has not even held an exhibition abroad, claiming that it has not lost a single one, but at this moment there are two in the Windsor family's private collection, if it is really exposed, it is indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
However, Song Tianyu didn't say anything to death, he just said that he would return the six bronze heads first, and as for other things, he would slowly polish it with Charles in the future, and Song Tianyu also had some understanding of the current situation of the Windsor family, and knew that they needed the friendship of Huaxia at this stage.
"I can't just give it to you. Charles said.
"Why?"
As soon as Song Tianyu spoke, he knew that he had asked a stupid question, if it was the bronze head that was directly returned by the Windsor family, wouldn't it tell the world about the British thief's behavior, and I am afraid that the matter of returning it needs to be changed in a different way.
"It's easy to do. Song Tianyu thought for a moment and then said, "You can hand over these bronze heads to the auction house, and then our consignor will auction them, Mr. Charles, what do you think?"
"Yes, these are small things. Charles nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's good to go back and let people operate it, Mr. Song, let's talk about the resurrection pill." ”
Pointing to the antiques in the room, Charles said, "Mr. Song can carefully select and see if there are any suitable and exchangeable objects." ”
To be honest, when he brought Song Tianyu and Fang Yi here, Charles didn't have much hope, because he knew that most of the things in this warehouse were secular antiques, and they didn't have a great effect on cultivators.
But Song Tianyu's strong interest in the bronze head of the zodiac just now made Charles see a glimmer of hope, and he wished that Song Tianyu's patriotism would be stronger, and exchanging a few Chinese national treasures for the resurrection pill was definitely a profitable deal for Charles.
"Okay, I'll take a look first. Song Tianyu nodded, and said to Fang Yi beside him: "I heard that you are a student of several antique appraisals in China, you can also see how many national treasures these foreign devils snatched from our country back then." ”
To Song Tianyu's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, before Fang Yi could answer, Charles actually said in a very fluent Chinese: "Song, it is ungentlemanly to speak ill of people behind your back." ”
"Hehe, Charles, you can't deny that these things were stolen. ”
At Song Tianyu's age, his cheeks had already been fed to the dogs, and he laughed a few times at the moment, and said, "Charles, you have too many things here, I need some exercises and pills, I don't know if you have them here?"
"The books of the exercises? are those books of good luck, right?"
Charles didn't bother with Song Tianyu about the origin of these antiques, pointed to the bookcase on the back wall of the house, and said: "I collected a lot of ancient books in your country back then, but I don't know which ones are useful to you, you take a look first." ”
"So much?"
Looking at Charles's fingers, Song Tianyu was stunned for a moment, the wall was forty or fifty square meters, and the bookcase leading to the top wall was densely packed with at least tens of thousands of books, if Song Tianyu checked them one by one, he wouldn't be able to finish reading them in a month.
"It's only part of the story. ”
Seeing Song Tianyu's surprised look, Charles shrugged his shoulders and said: "This was bought from your country by an explorer from our British at the beginning of the last century, but you don't have to look at them all, we have made some classifications on it, you can have a choice to look it up, as for the elixir, I don't have it here, but there are some weapons used by you Eastern cultivators." ”
"Alright then, I'll take a look at these books first. ”
Song Tianyu walked under the bookcase, and sure enough, he saw that each bookcase had an English label indicating the content of the books in this bookcase, just like the one Song Tianyu saw, with words such as humanistic culture and drama written on it.
On the label of another bookcase, the words astronomical geography are written, and looking along the bookcase, Song Tianyu also saw nearly 20 classifications of military documents, medical acupuncture points, smelting and forging, Buddhist and Taoist classics, painting and calligraphy, Zhou Yi divination, etc., and Song Tianyu was a little dizzy for a while.
"I'm getting older, and my eyes are not good, so I can't see clearly. ”
Song Tianyu smiled bitterly and beckoned to Fang Yi, there are so many classics, there are really exercises to cultivate, I'm afraid Song Tianyu won't be able to find them, "Fang Yi, no, it's too much, I'm dizzy when I look at it, you can help me take a look." ”
When Song Tianyu was checking those labels, Fang Yi was already looking through some classics, and after hearing Song Tianyu's words, Fang Yi put back the book in his hand, looked at Charles, and asked, "Mr. Charles, the books here should have been obtained by the person named Stein in your country, right?"
"Yes, it was indeed donated to our family by Mr. Stein. ”
Charles nodded when he heard this, in addition to the identity of the Evolver and the royal ****, Charles is also a highly accomplished international historian, and he knows that as long as anyone who is a little proficient in archaeological history, he will be able to see the origin of these books.
"Fang Yi, who is Stein?" Song Tianyu asked with some puzzlement.
"A British explorer bought these books from Wang Taoist at the price of cabbage in Dunhuang. As soon as Fang Yi looked at the content on the label, he guessed that the only ancient books that could be collected abroad were the Dunhuang collection.
The Dunhuang collection was discovered at the beginning of the last century by a Taoist priest living in Dunhuang, the Taoist priest surnamed Wang, out of ignorance, he sold tens of thousands of Dunhuang books to foreigners more than ten times, which can be described as a serious sin.
However, Wang Taoist did not make a profit from selling books, he used all the money from the sale to renovate the grottoes and statues and develop incense, and lived a very hard life, but his practice damaged countless precious broken statues of the past dynasties, so that future generations were sad.
"I seem to know about it. Hearing Fang Yi say this, Song Tianyu also had some impressions, and suddenly said angrily: "This is another robber." ”
"It's not a robber, the court at that time was corrupt and the national strength was weak, and no one else could be blamed. Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Old Song, fortunately, my teacher didn't come with me, otherwise he would definitely be heartbroken when he saw so many national treasures." ”
The teacher that Fang Yi said was naturally Sun Lianda, when he was teaching Fang Yi related knowledge in the past, whenever he mentioned these cultural relics that were lost abroad, Sun Lianda was always heartbroken, especially when he scolded that Wang Daoist.
"Fang Yi, you take a look first, I'll go and see the weapon Charles said. Song Tianyu knew that Fang Yi's cultivation, including his divine sense, was far stronger than his own, and if he could find any useful exercises, he could only rely on Fang Yi, and he couldn't do it anyway.
"Good!"
Fang Yi nodded in agreement, he often heard Sun Lianda mention the collection of books in Dunhuang, and he was also a little curious about these ancient books, so he walked to the bookcase with the words Zhou Yi's divination written on it, and took out a book to read it carefully.
Fang Yi's speed of reading the book was very fast, he was not looking with his eyes, but with his divine sense, after a page of the book was almost swept over, the general content was imprinted in his mind, and for those things that were useless, Fang Yi's divine sense was automatically eliminated.
One, two, five, ten, in just a few moments, the rows of books under the bookcase were all read by Fang Yi, but the disappointment on Fang Yi's face became heavier and heavier, because the records in these books were all basic knowledge, which had no effect on Fang Yi at all.
Leaving Zhou Yi's bookcase for divination, Fang Yi walked to the bookcase of the medical acupuncture point and looked at it again, these books have some tips for practicing luck, but they are all relatively vulgar, and some of them even evolved from the Five Fowl Opera, not left by cultivators, Fang Yi could only leave this bookcase in disappointment in the end.
Almost every bookcase Fang Yi took out and basically checked it, but he didn't find anything valuable, even if it was a Buddhist and Taoist classic written in Sanskrit, Fang Yi read it carefully, and there were no cultivation exercises in it.
"How is it?Fang Yi, are there any useful exercises?" After Song Tianyu asked this sentence, he knew that he was asking in vain, because Fang Yi, who was empty-handed, had a disappointed look on his face, and he must have found nothing.
"Old Song, how do you look at your weapon?" Fang Yi shook his head and set his eyes on a short sword held by Song Tianyu, this short sword was only more than three inches long, and its whole body exuded a cold light, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
"This sword can get into the eye. ”
Song Tianyu smiled bitterly and said: "This sword should be left by the cultivator, but the weapon is always a foreign object, he will not be of any help to me to break through the promotion, if I fail to break through, what is the use of it?"
As a person who practices martial arts, Song Tianyu really likes such a short sword, but what he needs most now is a technique or elixir that can make him advance to a breakthrough, not a weapon that increases his combat effectiveness, so this short sword is like a chicken rib for Song Tianyu.
"Mr. Song, there are so many things, don't they apply to you?" Charles knew Chinese, and from the conversation between Fang Yi and Song Tianyu, he heard what Song Tianyu meant.
"No, Mr. Charles, all I can say is sorry. Song Tianyu shook his head and said, "Let's go up, this delay is long enough, I'll go to the trade fair to find out if I can find what I need?"
Fang Yi and Song Tianyu came to this warehouse at the beginning of the fair, and they had been staying for four or five hours now, Song Tianyu wanted to go up and try his luck, maybe the evolutionaries of other countries had what he needed.
"Mr. Song, I can also take out one more thing, maybe it will help you. ”
Seeing that Song Tianyu was leaving, Charles was a little anxious, he was very greedy for the resurrection pill, and he thought that it would be best if he could exchange these antiques for it, but seeing that Song Tianyu was not interested at the moment, Charles could only take out some good things.
"Oh, what is it?" Song Tianyu stopped when he heard this, Charles said this sentence knowing what he needed, maybe the things he took out would help him.
"It's a kind of ice pith, we call it ice pith. Charles thought for a moment and said, "This kind of ice pith can only be found in extremely cold places, and the number is very small. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Charles, what is its effect?" Song Tianyu interrupted Charles.
Although the ice pith appeared in the extremely cold place, it was a supreme yang thing, and after taking it, the whole body would feel extremely hot and dry, Charles was not angry, and continued: "The effect of the ice pith is to stimulate the potential of the human body, and make people's bodies give birth to several times or even dozens of times the strength of their previous strength. ”
"Bringing out the human body's potential?"
Song Tianyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and unconsciously looked at Fang Yi, he didn't know if this cold ice pith had any effect on his ability to break through the innate realm, only Fang Yi, who was a cultivator of the innate realm, would know about it.
"How many times can it stimulate its potential, and are there any sequelae?" Fang Yi asked Charles.
"An ordinary person can lift a car of more than 20 tons if they take a drop of ice pith. ”
After making an analogy, Charles said: "The effect of the evolutionary is not so good after taking it, but it will also have a great potential, at least three times that before taking it, and there are some sequelae, that is, after the effect of the drug, there will be three or four days of fatigue, but there is no damage to the body." ”
"Fang Yi, how is it?"
Hearing Charles's explanation, a glimmer of hope flashed in Song Tianyu's eyes, the reason why these people who have no spiritual roots failed to break through the innate will be because their physical potential is not enough, and the cold ice marrow that Charles said at the moment is exactly in line with Song Tianyu's needs when he breaks through.
