"Well...... this"

Hearing Hou Lao's inquiry, Yu Feibai thought about it seriously, and only sighed after half a sound: "I can't think of it, anyway, I know that you may not be willing to give me what I want." ”

"If you don't say it, how do I know if I can give it." Hou Lao smiled and declared: "Of course, if you want the things in the Golden Kui, then I must be powerless. ”

"If you don't want the things in the gold vault, can you know what those things are?" Yu Feibai took the opportunity to ask.

"This one won't work either." Hou Lao smiled and shook his head: "Didn't you see it, even I am not qualified to know what those things are, how can I tell what they are." ”

"Eh, it's just a few things, it's a big deal, there's an edict, why do you cover it up so tightly." Yu Feibai pouted, very dissatisfied.

"It's not just an edict." Wang Guan understood a little, and reminded softly: "The key is that if the content of the edict is announced, that period of history may have to be rewritten, so naturally we must be cautious......"

"It's not a rewrite, it's just a guess at most."

At this moment, Yu Fei's vernacular peak: "But you are right, think about it, how much money is it to recycle textbooks across the country, and you really can't be hasty." In other words, let's open a printing house now, maybe we can make a lot of money. ”

"Less dreaming." Wang Guan chuckled: "I've been bothering Elder Hou for a long time today, and it's time for us to leave." Go for lunch first, then head to the antique market in Hanzhong. ”

"Great, just waiting for your words." Yu Feibai perked up and immediately agreed.

"That's a good idea." Fang Mingsheng also smiled and nodded.

It is very obvious that after opening the golden kui, Hou Lao will definitely be busy. Not only did Wang Guan know, but Yu Feibai and Fang Mingsheng were naturally interested and immediately agreed.

"Wait......"

I saw that the three of them were leaving. Hou Lao stopped him, and after muttering for a while, he motioned for the three of them to wait for a while, and then walked next to the old man surnamed Pan, and then the two whispered, as if they were discussing something.

Not long after, Hou Lao came over again and smiled softly: "You have done the institute a great favor, there will definitely be no big rewards, but I can give you some small gifts." ”

"Hou Lao. No need. Wang Guan habitually refused.

However, Yu Feibai didn't know what politeness was, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled, and hurriedly asked, "Old Hou, what kind of gift do you give us?" If it's a tourist souvenir, forget it. ”

"No wonder Ling Xi said you're a bad boy."

Yu Feibai's "honesty" directly amused Hou Lao, and after laughing, he beckoned: "Let's go." Follow me. It's not a great gift, but you'll be satisfied. ”

While speaking, Hou Lao led the way in front and led the three of them to another room.

After entering. Wang Guan raised his eyes and found that this seemed to be a warehouse, and in the not very spacious space, there were four or five iron shelves. There are things on each shelf.

After glancing at it, Yu Feibai was a little excited: "These things are ...... Can you really give it to us? ”

"It's a scrapped gadget, and we'll leave it here after we've fixed it."

At this time. Hou Lao smiled and said: "Attention, each person can only take one piece, and after taking it out, don't spread it out if you have nothing to do, we won't admit it anyway." ”

"Don't worry, Old Hou, even if we say it, people may not believe it." Yu Feibai dropped a sentence, and ran to the shelf excitedly, looking east and west, choosing the objects that fit his heart.

"By the way, don't move those crossbows, they are state-controlled items, and they can't be given to you."

Suddenly found that Yu Feibai picked up something, Hou Lao hurriedly reminded him, but let him go, muttered his lips, and paid attention to other objects.

At the right time, Fang Mingsheng also let go of his reserve, and when he saw Hunting Xinxi, he picked up a statue of Buddha, and asked Hou Lao with a smile what the secret of the mechanism was. Hou Lao answered softly, and recommended a pagoda to him, but it made Fang Mingsheng in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to choose.

It's a pity that this is not an antique shop, otherwise, you can just throw money at it. Fang Mingsheng sighed secretly, and then began to fall into a tangle.

Hou Lao was also happy to be idle, and after turning his eyes, he found that Wang Guan was still standing at the door, and suddenly said strangely: "Both of them are picking things, why haven't you moved." ”

“…… Oh. ”

At this time, Wang Guan was a little distracted, until Hou Lao came over, he was in a trance, and then pointed to a thing in the side corner of the door, and asked very curiously: "Hou Lao, is this a statue, or a statue, is there a mechanism?" ”

Hou Lao looked at it and immediately smiled: "It's a statue, an ancient clay sculpture, so there is no mechanism." However, the base of the statue has a mechanism that allows sharp knives to pop out. Later, we dismantled the base mechanism and studied it, but no one paid attention to the statue, so we left it in the warehouse. ”

"No wonder it's only half a section." Wang Guan suddenly realized, he was wondering just now, a very good statue, how can it only have a half body, but no feet, it turns out that the root is here.

The statue is indeed only half a section, to be exact, it should be a large half, the upper body until the knee part is complete, that is, there is no below the knee, which looks very weird, so it attracted Wang Guan's attention.

Of course, the shape of the statue is also quite eye-catching, as if it was an ancient general, wearing armor, with both hands clasped around the waist, and holding a broken sword, very heroic and mighty. However, it may have been destroyed by too much wind and rain, and the facial features of the statue are also a little blurred, especially when it is rested in the corner, it is a little eerie and terrifying.

"What era is this?"

Wang Guan looked at it, but also a little curious. It's just that he doesn't have a deep understanding of the style of the statue, but he knows that this is an ancient thing, but he can't be sure which dynasty it is.

"Judging from what I just saw, it should be a work of the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Hou Lao said casually: "This is the sculpture style of the Southern Dynasty, and it pays more attention to the handling of details. In comparison, the depiction of the iron pieces of the armor, the proportions of the body and the arms, are very coordinated and delicate, unlike the natural rough and unrestrained ...... in the north."

"Southern Dynasty Statue."

Wang Guan was stunned, and said with a smile: "I thought it was from the Qin Dynasty, after all, this thing is somewhat similar to the Terracotta Army." ”

"How is this possible?" Hou Lao smiled and shook his head: "The terracotta warriors and horses are national treasures, each of them has a detailed number, who dares to put it here indiscriminately." Speaking of which, this statue was dug out of a barren mountain and ruined temple buried by mud and stones, and it is estimated that it should be a temple of heavenly soldiers and gods. ”

"During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the countries conquered, the people were not able to make a living, the people were trembling, and they lived a precarious life, so they had to build temples to worship the heavenly soldiers and generals, hoping to protect the peace for a while."

Hou Lao sighed, and Wang Guan also nodded thoughtfully. It seems that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it seems that the Chinese religion was at its most prevalent, and both Taoism and Buddhism flourished during this period, laying the foundation for becoming the state religion in the future.

In particular, Buddhism, which spread from the Eastern Han Dynasty to China, has always been in a state of petty fighting, and has been overwhelmed by local religions. Then, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because the religious theory was recognized by the upper ruling class, it suddenly turned over and became one of the major religions in China.

I have to say that the times make heroes. Whether it is Buddhism, Catholicism, or Islam, it seems to be very difficult in the early days of the founding of the religion, and sometimes it is the target of the ruling class's oppression. However, people knew how to innovate, constantly improved or modified the course of religious development, and actively catered to the mainstream ideology, and finally succeeded.

This alone makes people have to express admiration. Perhaps people nowadays only care about seeing the proud appearance of the world's major religions, but they don't realize how many sinking, suffering, and struggles they have gone through, and then they have seized a little opportunity to climb up desperately, and finally they have been able to stand out.

Of course, all religions have a problem with self-esteem. When you are weak, you definitely don't have this thought, but once you grow, you start to exclude dissidents. Relatively speaking, the situation in China is better, and the strength of Buddhism and Taoism is equal and can contain each other. But in the Western world, it is more bleak, and the result of one dominance is the so-called Dark Middle Ages.

But then again, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Mao gods were very active, fighting with each other, and there were not many cases of cutting down mountains and breaking temples. The most typical example is Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, after some conquest, he has the glory of Tianshi Dao.

Perhaps it is for this reason that under this statue, a sharp knife mechanism is installed. It can be regarded as a kind of protection, if anyone dares to smash the statue, they will suffer from the stabbing of a sharp knife.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

At this time, Wang Guan walked to the corner and carefully looked at the statue. I don't know why, when he saw this statue, or the broken sword in the statue's hand, his heart throbbed a little.

The long sword in the statue's hand fell vertically, and it should have been cast and molded before it was attached to the statue. However, because the age is too old, the sword body has been broken, and one of them is missing, so the statue only has half of the sword in its hand.

However, it was this half of the broken sword that gave Wang Guan the illusion of déjà vu.

"Elder Hou, I want this statue."

Just when Wang Guan was pondering, Yu Feibai came out silently and directly stopped him unceremoniously.

"What?"

Hou Lao was a little surprised: "You want a statue?" ”

"That's right."

After glancing at Wang Guan, Yu Feibai smiled and said: "I have been very interested in ancient carvings recently, and I am studying the origin and development of statues. ”

In an instant, Wang Guan was a little speechless, and some understood Yu Feibai's thoughts, he must have thought that he had fallen in love with this statue, so he hurriedly came over to snatch it.

In this regard, Wang Guan laughed and laughed, God is pitiful, he never said that this statue is a treasure! (To be continued......)
