Chapter 268: The Ultimate Goal
Wu Tianyuan observed the legendary Nine Dragons Sword in front of him, its shape combined with the Mongolian curved sword, its sword body was slightly curved, the hilt was very long, and nine dragons were engraved on it. And these nine dragons are carved according to the meaning of Zhou Yi's ninety-nine to one. Ninety-nine to one in Zhou Yi means reincarnation. Qianlong was familiar with history books and knew that the way of heaven was a reincarnation, and so were people, and so were the dynastic regimes.
Legend has it that after the sword is cast, the cold air seeps into people, as if someone has wronged the soul on it, and the fog will be generated around the sword, and the nine dragons on the hilt of the sword will leap in the mist. The Nine Dragons Sword was originally a Yin sword, and it was ominous to use this sword in the Yang world.
At that time, according to Sun Dianying, he had met a high-ranking monk before digging the grave. The eminent monk told him that Japan had shown a trend of reincarnation, so it was necessary to take the Nine Dragons Sword out of Qianlong's mausoleum to prevent China from being trampled on by foreign races again.
Even Sun Dianying himself said that this sword is the most evil thing, and everyone who touches him has died so far, without exception.
This sword came into contact with a total of four people after coming out of the ancient tomb: Sun Dianying - died in prison; Dai Li, the plane crashed into a mountain for no reason; Ma Hansan - Shot; Yoshiko Kawashima - sentenced to death.
Wu Tianyuan didn't know if the British deliberately put the sword together with a few Buddhist holy relics? I'm also afraid that there is really an evil spirit.
"Eastern Zhou Golden Sword Hilt!"
In 1992, the No. 2 tomb of Yimen Village, Baoji, Shaanxi Province was unearthed. The sword has a pure gold handle, an iron body, an iron stem inserted into the handle, and a willow leaf at the tip. The first grid of the upper sword is the groove pattern of the inlay beads, and the stem is eight diamond-shaped, plain. The lower hilt of the sword is decorated with cloud-like, bead-shaped turquoise and a material vessel to inlay the horns and eyes with a yang line and a cockroach pattern. The head and grid each have perforations, and the two sides of the stem are staggered into five pairs of tooth-like protrusions by ornamentation.
This was originally discovered by the cultural relics team, but then it was missing! It was also smuggled here, no wonder the British did not dare to take it out for public display.
"In the end, it was the Yongle Grand Ceremony!"
The Yongle Canon was compiled in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet chief assistant Xie Jin edited a Chinese classical collection of masterpieces, originally known as "Literature Dacheng", which is a Chinese encyclopedic literature collection, with 22,937 volumes, 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, bringing together seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern books, showing the glorious achievements of ancient Chinese science and culture.
In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the British and French forces invaded and occupied Beijing, and the Hanlin Academy was looted, losing a large number of "Great Canons". In the first year of Guangxu, when the building of the Hanlin Academy was renovated, there were less than 5,000 copies of the "Great Canon". The reason for the rapid loss of the Yongle Ceremony is mainly due to the staff guarding and stealing, and it is said that Wen Tingshi alone has stolen more than 100 copies of the Yongle Ceremony.
At present, there are 161 volumes in the National Library of China and 62 volumes in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. In addition, the Library of Congress also has 40 volumes, 51 volumes in the United Kingdom, including the British Library, the University of Oxford Library, the University of London Oriental Language School, and the University of Cambridge, and 5 volumes in the University Library of Hamburg, the University of Cologne, and the Berlin Ethnographic Museum.
"Here are thirty-six volumes! We have been secret for nearly a hundred years, and we are the real treasure of the town! ”
Looking at David's proud face, Wu Tianyuan was very helpless, every one of them here is an absolute national treasure, worthy of Victoria's Secret!
It seems that he still has a long way to go in the future, and it is difficult to get this place back by treasure hunting and exchanging alone, so he can only use more advanced means to find an opportunity for the treasures to return to their hometown.
"How? Shocking, right? ”
Jack said with a smile: "I know what you think, but you also know that these are the wealth of all mankind, don't be too narrow-minded!" ”
"Hey, whoever wins or loses, whoever has a big fist has the right to speak! It's been this way since ancient times, I understand. ”
"We're still young, and we'll have opportunities in the future, I heard you have a lot of big plans?"
Wu Tianyuan looked at Jack's expectant expression, knew that the meat scene was coming, and said with a smile: "My big plan is just a small fight for you, Young Master Jack!" ”
"You're so arrogant!"
Jack shook his finger elegantly and said with a smile: "Now your fame is very loud in our circle, not only me, Sauls and John hope to establish a relationship with you and work together in the future." ”
"The big family has the scenery of the big family, but the cruelty behind it is even more bloody! We are destined for the future from birth, and survival of the fittest is the only law of survival. If you can't benefit your family, the end will be even more miserable. Girls are reduced to tools for marriage, and men have to work harder, and there is no moment of relaxation. ”
Jack sighed: "I'm better, after all, I'm the only heir, Sauls and John work harder, even their own part has to rely on their strength to grab, otherwise there is nothing!" ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded, if they let a noble son from a wealthy family have nothing, it would be better to kill them directly!
"So we have to desperately look for all kinds of suitable opportunities, whether it is in the political or business circles, we must reflect our greatest use value, and it is also a kind of happiness to be used by the family!"
Wu Tianyuan appreciates Jack's honesty, they are all smart people, and it is more sincere to say anything directly. He needs some powerful allies even more, and the world is the fastest to eat and die. Only by making a win-win, or even a win-win, can we go long-term.
"No problem, since you're interested, I'll go back and get a plan for you, the main thing is to use the channel to promote the artwork, you also know that the market is very chaotic now, and really good artists have no way out, and the level is generally popular, which is very unfair."
Jack laughed and said, "Yes, I mean the same thing, you have channels and sources of goods in your hands, and I can provide high-quality customers and connections." In the UK, our Max family is still influential, I believe you will be satisfied with this chip! ”
The two talked deeply for more than an hour, and Jack left satisfied, he was optimistic about Wu Tianyuan, and he had a good relationship in advance, which can be regarded as planting a seed. If it grows into a towering tree, it will be nice to enjoy the shade yourself.
"The children of these big families are really extraordinary!"
Sun Yuyao sighed: "Both temperament and cultivation are outstanding, and he is also humble and polite, and has a good demeanor. ”
"They have to receive more than a dozen aristocratic etiquette education since they were young, and they are used to seeing the scheming methods of their fathers, so it is natural."
Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "This is the reason why foreign century-old families can inherit and be strong, constantly absorbing and learning new knowledge, but still adhering to the bottom line of the family, this is too powerful." ”
"Now the museum has completed more than half of it, and after the Tang and Song dynasties, it is the peak period of cultural relics, and then the varieties will be single. Porcelain and calligraphy and painting have largely disappeared, mainly sculpture and bronze. ”
Wu Tianyuan planned: "So the next step is to shift your focus to the field of modern and modern art!" Yanagi Miko returned to Japan to study incense and floristry, and I was ready to make her a rising star in Japanese art. There are also two princesses, Mako Yoshiko, who, as royal puppets, also want to have the value of self-existence, just using them to gradually infiltrate the high-level circle of Japan. ”
"Today you also see Jenny's cousin, which is getting better and better, and with Jack's help, he will soon become an active member of the aristocratic circle. The French Hua Lao is a big expert and has a wide range of connections. Not to mention Hongmen in the United States, Yin Lao has begun to operate the Oriental Art Museum, slowly increasing its fame, and the seeds have been planted! (To be continued.) )
