Chapter 270: Stein, the Great Thief

The goal is great, but it takes a step by step to achieve it. Wu Tianyuan rested for two days and continued his treasure hunting journey, he hadn't been to the United States for a long time, and this time he just started to decorate the Dunhuang exhibition hall, and he also needed to accumulate Tang Dynasty energy and go to Stein's nest!

Back then, Stein talked about bargaining. After he and his servant Jiang Xiaowan set a goal, Jiang directly talked to Wang Daoshi. Jiang Xiaowan and Wang Daoshi eventually agreed on a price of £130 for seven boxes of manuscripts, five drawings and other items. In a letter to his friend Aaron, Stein happily wrote: "For this price you can buy a Sanskrit bay leaf and a few antiquities." ”

After Stein's departure in the summer of 1907, Wang continued to sell the scriptures and use the proceeds to restore the cave complex. Jiang Xiaowan returned to Dunhuang in the autumn of the same year, bought another 230 bundles of papers, and sent them to Stein. Stein obtained about 11,000 documents.

In 1908, the genius French sinologist Berché bought 7,000 documents and shipped them back to Paris. In 1910, the Chinese government ordered the remaining 10,000 Chinese documents to be shipped back to Beijing. Wang Daoist withheld some and lost some on the way to Beijing. In 1912, the Russian Oldenburg bought about 10,000 pieces, and in 1914 Stein returned to Dunhuang for the last time and bought another 600 volumes.

In 1929, Stein proudly recounted the Dunhuang experience to an audience at a series of lectures at Harvard, and when Stein returned to Dunhuang in 1914, he was warmly welcomed by Daoist Wang and showed him an account detailing how he had used the money to renovate the caves.

Stein felt that because he had paid more money to Daoist Wang than anyone else, he should have been able to buy all the scrolls and ship them out of China. Even in 1929, when many European and Chinese scholars believed that Chinese antiquities should remain in China, Stein did not see anything wrong with moving documents and artifacts out of China.

"Nonsense, if I go and rob Japanese cultural relics, I can also openly say that I am protecting the cultural property of all mankind!"

Wu Tianyuan said secretly, standing and talking doesn't hurt his back! Who doesn't cherish the treasures left by their ancestors? Let others snatch it, and every time you have to go to the foreigner's museum to see it, this feeling is very cool?

"Go to Boston!"

The next day, Wu Tianyuan and his entourage went to Boston, he didn't buy a private jet, but Tianyuan would. Wang Jiansen, Ma Yun, and Ma Tengfei all have them, and you can leave immediately if you find one.

"This is Stein's old mansion?"

Wang Hong investigated an old house, where Stein died, and donated a large part of the Dunhuang cultural relics to the museum before his death, mixing fame and fortune. But there should still be a small number left, but I don't know if it's here?

"Absent?"

Wu Tianyuan took a turn under the leadership of the real estate agent, but there was no clue, and it was estimated that he was not here. The group could only leave and go back to the hotel first, and Wang Hong continued to inquire about the news.

"Boss, I found out that Stein has a daughter in San Francisco, will the inheritance be with her?"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, went to San Francisco, just to chat with Yin Lao, if he was really there, the news would definitely not be hidden from him.

"You give me half a day, I'll check it for you!"

Yin Lao made a phone call and asked his men to investigate the situation of Stein's descendants, and the two of them exchanged news while drinking tea with peace of mind.

"You're in a relationship with the Ford family? It's impressive! ”

Elder Yin sighed: "Originally, I was very surprised by your kid's growth rate, thinking that it would take two or three years to come into contact with the Hidden Family. I didn't expect you to be able to establish a good relationship with them in just one month, I was so drunk! ”

"Hehe, it's not much cooperation, it's just to give the baby to others early, saying that cooperation is to lift me!"

"That's what it's capable of!" Yin Lao Zhengse said: "How many people have sharpened their heads to have a little contact with them, just to find opportunities for future cooperation." You may not have really seen the strength of the Hidden Family, it is a terrifying force that is desperately powerful! ”

"I have seen several times that the capitalists who seem to have unlimited scenery in society have been banned by a fluttering sentence from the big family, and as a result, the family is ruined and ruined! Not alarmist, living examples! ”

Wu Tianyuan saw that the dignified old man also attached so much importance to the hermit family, and he was also vigilant in his heart, it seems that he still has to pay attention to proportions in the future, and it is better to keep a low profile before he has absolute strength.

"But you're a man with magical abilities, and that's why they're interested. Money is a piece of paper, and large families never use money as a measure of wealth. Just like the local tyrants in the Middle East like to show off their wealth with Yuan blue and white flowers, the transactions between them are all cultural relics, especially ancient cultural relics with historical value and research value! ”

"Like a parchment scroll with ancient writing, or a religious scripture?"

"Yes, this is their most important treasure! Think about it and understand that when the material reaches its peak, it is natural to pursue spiritual etherealism! Each family is studying how to live forever? How to have superhuman strength? Superstitious about the advance of ancient civilizations, hoping to find various clues from cultural relics. ”

Wu Tianyuan finally understood the preferences of the hidden family, it seems that there is really a lot of money to the point of egg pain! Also, in their later years, the emperors of all dynasties did not do their jobs properly to study the mystery of eternal life. For example, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, reused the Fang Shi Xu Fu in order to live forever, and went overseas to seek immortal prescriptions.

Even the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are ready to take them down to the underworld, follow him to continue the war, and become the emperor of the underworld.

In today's China, the greatest Newton is often distorted to mean that "he studied science in his early years and achieved great results, and in his later years turned to theology and achieved nothing." ”

In fact, Newton was a devout Christian all his life, and during his lifetime, more than 80% of his writings were theological works, with a total of more than 1.4 million words, and it was not in his later years that he turned to theology. Newton's main reason for believing in religion was his religious environment, not how convincing religion was compared to atheism.

Newton studied the Bible every day, trying to discover the hidden message of the Bible and trying to interpret the meaning of the Bible. He wanted to extract scientific information from the Bible. According to his research, the end of the world will not be until at least 2060 at the earliest.

He once said, "I don't want to confirm the exact time of the end times, but I want to discourage those who prophesy about the end of the world at every turn, and every time these people's prophecies fail, they have a negative effect on God's prophecy itself." ”

There is also the most famous group, the Xunshan Hermitage, whose roots are said to have been the alchemy practice of alchemy led by an Egyptian sage Olmus around 46 AD, also known as the Gnostics.

In 1188, when the Xunshan Monastery changed its name to the "Holy Mountain Order", they also called themselves the "True Rosary Cross" during the same period, indicating that the Xunshan Monastery may be the earliest Rosicrucian sect in Freemasonry.

It was not until the Middle Ages that an organization known to historians to be associated with the Holy Mountain appeared. Located in the Challé des Chinensis in the city of Stenet in the Ardennes region of northern France. Legend has it that the widow Matilda's wedding ring fell into a mountain spring in the valley, and just as she prayed, a trout leaped into her hand with the ring in the spring. She exclaimed: What a golden valley! This is also one of the places where General Patton once found the treasure, and the history is amazingly coincidental! (To be continued.) )
