In addition, in addition to kidnapping the man, the other party also looked for things in the house, and many places in the house were turned over, but it seemed that they were not found, so they broke a lot of furniture and porcelain vases as if venting. ”

As he was talking, several things had been brought over by the police.

"Huh, why is there one more thing?" Zhang Tianyuan was sure that in addition to the oil painting and the Bodhisattva statue, he had only taken one thangka from the mysterious man's house, but now it had become two, and he had never seen the other one at all.

"This is what the man gave us, and he said that he must give it to you. Officer Fang explained.

The people at the police station don't know the true value of these things at all, after all, in the snowfield, thangkas are too common, who knows if they are worth it, if they really know that the thing is worth tens of millions of dollars, then it is estimated that someone will really take risks.

"Then thank you Officer Fang, then let's go first, if there is any news of that person, please notify us as soon as possible." Zhang Tianyuan did not say the value of those things on the spot, after all, the heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, such expensive things, if the other party really knows, so that the other party has a greedy heart, this matter, no one knows what direction it will develop.

After getting into the car, Zhanfei turned on the headlights and prepared to rush back to the expedition team camp overnight to prepare for the trip to the Dark Plus tribe.

"That person is also generous, he actually donated such a valuable thing to the museum, Zhan Fei, after arriving at the camp, immediately contact Mr. Lin and ask him to send someone over. I'm going to transport these things back to the imperial capital. ”

Mr. Lin is Lin Feng, Zhang Tianyuan's brother-in-law. The reason why I looked for him was because I was relieved. Second, a more important reason is actually because the HRE Group only has a folk goods company, and it is currently in the study of business, and it will be more convenient to find people.

"Is there anything special about that thangka, and why did he give it to you on purpose?" asked Songzandepu.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "According to the materials used to make thangkas, thangkas can be divided into two categories. One type of thangka made of silk is called 'Guotang', and the other type of thangka painted with pigment is called 'Zhitang'. It is certain that this should be the stop Tang in the thangka!"

"I've heard people say that Zhitang still thinks it's not as valuable as Guotang?" asked Zhanfei.

"You can't simply talk about the price of which thangka is high or low, for example, the color tang in the Tang Dynasty can be pure gold, pure silver, coral, pearl, turquoise as the main pigment, or ochre, cinnabar, lead powder or yellow powder These ordinary pigments. And Jin Tang, it can be gold. It can also be a golden mineral pigment. The price gap will naturally be very large, some thangkas are even painted on leather, then you have to identify the leather, cowhide or sheepskin, one layer of leather or two layers of leather and so on. Thangkas, in particular, that are overpriced should be treated with caution, from the material to the craftsmanship to other non-technical elements. Songzan Depu explained to Zhanfei for Zhang Tianyuan.

"So that's the case, I look at the colorful appearance of this thangka, it should be the colorful tang in the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"That's right, this is Caitang. However, it is not the color that makes it great, but the leather used, because this thangka is a very rare stop tang painted directly on the leather. I've checked it and it's special. It seems that it is not the skin of any kind of livestock, nor is it the skin of a wolf, and it is estimated that it will be scientifically compared. to really determine the material. Zhang Tianyuan nodded.

"It's so mysterious, I want to study the thangka. What was the original thangka made of?" asked Zhanfei excitedly.

"Due to natural and historical reasons, the origin of thangka cannot be verified. Reportedly. After a miracle, the Tibetan Zanpu Songtsen Gampo painted a portrait of Bai Ram with his own nosebleed, which is the first thangka: according to legend, this thangka was hidden in the belly of the Bai Ram statue by the living Buddha of Guozhuxi. As scientific evidence, these legends are probably not reliable. However, as far as the art of painting is concerned, it can be traced back to the Neolithic period of Karo, and by the time of the Tibetan Dynasty, the art of painting had been perfected. Thangkas, as frescoes, appeared at the latest before the middle of the seventh century. There is no trace of the early thangkas after Langdarma's destruction of the Buddha: except for a few works from the Song and Yuan dynasties, most of the existing thangkas are collective works of Lobsang Gyatso. Songzan Depu sighed.

"Then what period is this thangka?" Zhanfei asked again.

"I guess it's from the 11th century onwards. Songzan Depu grabbed ahead of Zhang Tianyuan and said.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhanfei believed Zhang Tianyuan's words, but he might not believe Songzan Depu's words so much.

"Because the early Thangka of Tibet can be preserved to this day is extremely rare, the earlier Thangka that can be seen in modern times is the work after the 11th century: there is a thangka called 'Sangjie Dongxia' preserved in the Saji Temple, 35 Buddha statues are painted on it, its simple and elegant style is very similar to the murals of the same period in the Dunhuang Grottoes, it is said to be the work of the Tubo period, and it is an extremely rare precious cultural relic. There is also a four-walled Guanyin, which is the oldest work of the Guge Dynasty. There are too few thangkas like this, and this thangka shouldn't look so old. "Sontsen Depu also reasoned according to common sense, you can't say that he is wrong, but his judgment is indeed unfounded.

So Zhanfei is still looking forward to Zhang Tianyuan's answer.

"This thangka, it's not quite right, it's not quite right, it doesn't fit the painting style of the thangka, and it may even be a bit far-fetched to say that it's a thangka. Because the thangka we are talking about should basically be a Buddhist thing, but the paintings on it have nothing to do with Buddhism at all. Zhang Tianyuan pondered for a while and said: "And its history is only longer than the history of Buddhism." ”

"Is there anything special about the painting on this thangka? Why do I feel a little spooky when I look at it? Li Mingguang had been observing the painting on the thangka, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"This thangka is so special, it's a story painted on it. There is an animal called a shackle that resembles an eagle, but it is much larger, and it is said that when you spread your wings, you have to be more than 10 meters wide. It will appear every five hundred years and begin to forge its own lair, after which it will open the gates of hell and invite disasters and demons to destroy everything it sees. There is also a text explanation on it, but it is a little more obscure. Zhang Tianyuan looked at the words and said: "The reason why it is obscure is mainly because it is not only written in the language of the Ancient Kingdom of the Divine Eagle, but also written in the form of scriptures. ”

"It's the text of the Condor Ancient Kingdom again?"

"Yes, this thangka has some history. Zhang Tianyuan nodded.

"Shackles, the name sounds so weird, as if it were going to tie something down. Songzan Depu muttered.

"What should we do next, the thangka that person left us shouldn't just be left casually, right?" asked Li Mingguang.

"That's right, this thangka has actually basically determined the approximate location of the dark plus tribe, so let's not go back to the camp, go to the Snow Plains Military Region, since we want to go on an adventure, we must prepare some good equipment, although we left a will, but this time we are not going to die." Zhang Tianyuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Senior brother, do you still know someone from the Snow Plains Military Region?" asked Songzan Depu in surprise.

"He's more than just knowing. Li Mingguang smiled, now he is also a little relieved, in fact, this time Zhang Tianyuan is included, they will get the most full protection, and the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.

"What do you mean?" asked Songzandepu, puzzled.

"What exactly does it mean, you will naturally understand it later, but for now, let's sum it up, what kind of equipment is needed this time, and when the time comes, go to the military region and ask for it directly, otherwise you will have to waste time." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

He doesn't like to show off his backstage very much, not to mention that Old Man Nie is his godfather, even if he is his own grandfather, he doesn't want to show off, it doesn't make sense, but it will make him look like a local tyrant or a loser who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.

"yes, it's almost certain that all the answers are in the place where the Darkplus tribe lives, and once there, we'll be able to find the answers to our questions. Li Mingguang also nodded and said, he liked Zhang Tianyuan's modesty and low-key very much.

If someone else had Zhang Tianyuan's current family business and backstage, I was afraid that his tail would have gone to the sky long ago.

Zhanfei said while driving: "Yes, although this car is good, it is not suitable for our actions, we need a better car, preferably an armored car from the military region, that is the best, if it really doesn't work, you can also get a modified off-road, put a heavy machine gun on it, just in case." ”

"Don't just think about weapons, in addition to weapons, the necessary food and water are also important. Li Mingguang reminded: "After all, we are going on an expedition, not a war, and it is unlikely that there will be a shootout." ”

"In addition, if you want to climb over snow-capped mountains, you can't do it without mountaineering equipment, if possible, get a drone that can protect against the cold, so that it will be much more convenient to observe the terrain. Songzan Depu proposed.

"Anything else? Say whatever you can say, I'll try to get them ready. As the saying goes, sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, we are fully prepared to be able to come back safely. I must repeat that this time it is not to die, but to accomplish a human feat. Zhang Tianyuan recorded what several people said, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to ask for something, but the key was that he was afraid of not being able to think of it now.

"You also need cold protection equipment, the temperature over there will be very low, and there are not a few people who are frozen to death. Songtsen Depu muttered for a while.

"In addition to hot weapons, you also need some cold weapons that you can carry around, preferably more convenient, so that they are very versatile. "Zhanfei's proposal is more like the idea of special forces. (To be continued......)
