PS: Today's third update, if there is still a monthly pass, please support it, thank you.

For the praise of Zhou Lao and Xu Lao, Wang Guan naturally wanted to express his modesty. However, at this time, no one paid attention to him, because they thought that something might be Hetuluoshu, so everyone naturally studied it carefully.

"Something doesn't feel right......"

After watching for a while, a big expert hesitated: "The traces of Hetuluoshu are not like this. Besides, such a large piece of tortoise shell is not just engraved with the Hetuluo book. ”

This is a big truth, although the name of the Hetuluo book is large, but the graphics are relatively simple. It's just that there are many philosophies contained in the simple figures, at least in the eyes of some, all-encompassing, covering all the truths of the world.

However, from a few pages of rubbing, you can also speculate that the tortoise shell of the rubbing must be very large, like a table, at least about the size of a radius of about one or two meters.

Such a large tortoise shell, I dare not say that it is thousands of years old, but there must be seven or eight hundred years. Moreover, on the tortoise shell piece, there are many lines, small dots, etc., which seem to be a little dense and staggered. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a river Tuluo book.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that there are fewer rubbings and insufficient information, so it is naturally difficult to judge.

"Didn't you say that the Forbidden City also has similar rubbings?"

At the same time, someone pondered: "I wonder if it's a scattered rubbing?" ”

"It's hard to say......"

In between the conversations, someone also suggested: "Why don't you call back, ask someone to help find it, and then fax it." ”

"That's a good idea."

It is better to act than to move, and an expert immediately took out his mobile phone to contact colleagues in the Forbidden City. explained the situation here, and the other party was also very interested and agreed to help check it.

After a few moments, the communication ended, and the rest was just waiting. It's not a dry wait. Everyone also sat down to drink tea again, and expressed their opinions on the origin of the rubbing. About an hour later, the Forbidden City replied, but it found those pages of rubbing, and it was determined that the paper used for rubbing was indeed the gold leaf paper of the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this news, everyone naturally rejoiced. Then, after some manipulation, everyone also received the picture books of those rubbings, and then immediately printed them out. To sum up, there are about a dozen rubbings, and some of them can be put together. Some are made in separate sheets. In any case, after the arrangement is carried out, the outline of the tortoise shell pieces is more obvious.

Of course, the most important thing is the content of the rubbing, that is, the lines and dots of different sizes.

"As expected......"

At first glance, Zhou Lao immediately smiled and said, "This should be a astrological chart." ”

"Astrology?"

At the right time, the expert next to him groaned, and also nodded in agreement: "It should be, the legendary ancient Qin Tianjian." It is true that there is a habit of carving astrological charts on tortoise shells. It may be that you need to back it up, so you just rub it down. ”

"It's not impossible." Xu Lao sighed lightly: "It's a pity, a good astrological chart ended up scattered all over the place. Incomplete. ”

"Brother Xu."

Hearing this, Zhou Lao took the opportunity to say: "In this case, can you cut your love with these few pages of rubbing?" ”

"Get ......"

Moment. Xu Lao suddenly smiled bitterly: "I know that you must not have anything good to come over, and you are always beating my idea of these treasures." ”

"You can't say that." Zhou Lao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not me who wants it now, but I represent the Palace Museum." I have formally invited you to discuss this matter. ”

"Okay, don't use the Forbidden City to press me." Xu Lao said angrily: "Take it if you want, it's just a few pages of waste paper anyway, and I'm not uncommon." ”

"It's good to know, then I'm welcome." Zhou Lao was really polite, carefully sorted out a few pages of rubbing, and then said with a smile: "I'll send you another flag when I go back." ”

"No need, there are enough pennants in my house, and there will be no place to hang them if they are sent again."

Xu Lao waved his hand gently, it was this sentence, which was enough to make Wang Guan ashamed. The consciousness of the old-timers is really not comparable to that of modern young people, anyway, he can't do it to himself.

Well, this is a generation gap, a difference in concepts, and there is no way to smooth it out.

When Wang Guan secretly sighed, it was noon in the blink of an eye, and everyone also had lunch under the greeting of Xu Lao. After that, everyone planned to walk around and see the scenery or something, and Wang Guan received a call from Mr. Anderson.

"Cafe?"

At this time, Wang Guan was a little surprised: "Someone wants to see me...... Okay, I'll be there later......"

While speaking, Wang Guan interrupted his mobile phone, and then turned around and said, "Old Zhou, Mr. Anderson's call...... It's not about identifying things, it's like it's for something else......"

"You go check it out." Zhou Lao said calmly: "Respond to all changes with the same, and call us if there is an accident." ”

"Good!"

Wang Guan nodded lightly and went to the appointment. Soon after, he also came to a café in a very elegant setting, where Mr. Anderson had been waiting for a long time.

Not only Mr. Anderson, after entering, Wang Guan found that next to Mr. Anderson, there was also a brown-haired middle-aged man in his forties. He wears a neat suit and leather shoes, and his hair is meticulously combed, making him feel like a manager in a large company group.

"Mr. Anderson."

Wang Guan swept his gaze and greeted him.

"King, you are here, please be seated." Mr. Anderson naturally stood up to greet him, and then introduced: "This is Mr. John, my friend, who is now working in ......."

"Ahem."

In an instant, Mr. John interrupted Mr. Anderson's introduction and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and say, "Hello, Mr. Wang." ”

As soon as Mr. John spoke, Wang Guan found that his Chinese level was good, although not as correct and round as Mr. Anderson, but the pronunciation of each word was clear, even if it was a little blunt, but it was enough for people to understand.

"Hello ......"

Wang Guan naturally responded, and after shaking hands, everyone also sat down.

After some politeness, the three of them fell silent. Wang Guan watched coldly, but he felt that Mr. Anderson was just a matchmaker, but now he was out of the matter. As for Mr. John, it seems that he is phrasing, thinking about how to speak.

At this time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was naturally a little cold. Wait until the waiter serves the mellow coffee. Mr. John then got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Wang, our boss has taken a fancy to a thing in your museum and wants to buy it, and I hope you can help make it happen......"

"What's that?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it.

"A cup." Mr. John said bluntly: "I heard that the cup can turn white wine into red wine, and our boss is very interested and wants to buy it for research." ”

"Sure enough......" Wang Guan smiled, shook his head lightly and said: "That's the treasure of our museum, do you understand?" It's not for sale, and it's impossible to give it to others. ”

"Mr. Wang. Don't be in a hurry to refuse, we are sincere. ”

As he spoke, Mr. John took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over lightly: "Our boss plans to exchange this item." ”

"What's that?"

Wang Guan looked at it casually and was suddenly shocked: "The head of the beast ......"

After a glance, Wang Guan's brows furrowed. Because what Mr. John took out was actually the beast head of the Old Summer Palace that had been hyped up over the years.

As we all know, the head of the beast in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. It is a red bronze statue in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The word Haiyan is taken from Heqing Haiyan, the meaning of Guotai Min'an. However, it is very ironic that in 1860, during the war of aggression against China by the Anglo-French forces. And the heads of the beasts were scattered far and wide, and they were scattered abroad.

I don't know what the reason is, and I don't know when it started, the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace. It has become a microcosm of the loss of Chinese cultural relics, and it has become a representative of it. Many people feel as if they just need to collect all the twelve beast heads. It means a victory, a victory of national pride and pride.

However, Wang Guan felt that many people had overlooked one thing, the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace were, to put it bluntly, twelve faucets. It's not that they don't have value, but they're not as valuable as everyone thinks. In other words, under the impetus of people with intentions, their value will be infinitely raised.

In fact, in the eyes of the real connoisseurs, these things are not rare at all.

This is a fact, otherwise counting the return of the twelve beast heads, you may also see some clues. So far, the bronze statues of rat heads, ox heads, monkey heads, tiger heads, pig heads and horse heads have been returned to China, and it is said that the dragon head is currently in Taiwan and is well preserved, but it will not be seen in the short term. So putting aside the dragon head, which of the other bronze statues is not hyped?

If these things were not linked to the Old Summer Palace, if they were not linked to the invasion of the British and French forces, the value would not be so inflated. Because of this connection, it has a new value, and this value is the testimony of national shame.

At this time, Wang Guan continued to look at the photo, only to see that the photo was a chicken head whose whereabouts were unknown. China's territory is now like a rooster, and it is no wonder that Mr. John is very convinced, and very confident that Wang Guan will agree to the deal.

In this regard, Wang Guan sneered, threw down the photo casually, and said indifferently: "This is sincerity? ”

"That's right."

Sensing Wang Guan's careless attitude, Mr. John was somewhat confused in his heart, and he was also speculating whether Wang Guan was trying to capture the past. After all, according to his investigation, the Chinese seem to have a complex of twelve beast heads in the Old Summer Palace, and now when they see one of them, shouldn't they be ecstatic?

"If it's just this sincerity, then I can only say that your boss is really wishful thinking."

At this moment, Wang Guan shook his head with a disdainful expression: "Take a broken faucet, you want to exchange for the legendary Holy Grail, is your boss thinking too beautiful." ”

"The Holy Grail?"

For a moment, John was stunned, a little skeptical that he had heard something. At the same time, Mr. Anderson's eyes flickered, but there was no look of surprise, and it was obvious that he had already speculated in this regard.

"Uh, it's a cup."

At this time, Wang Guan seemed to leak his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "I mean, the magic cup." ”

However, Mr. John didn't seem to hear any explanation, and after a few minutes of confusion, he slowly came to his senses, and vaguely understood why the boss was determined to get the cup...... (To be continued......)
