Everyone present was completely attracted by this peerless ink treasure!

After thinking about this, everyone already believed in Uncle Wu's statement, and was consulting the Mobao experts present for identification.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard walked over, took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he straightened up and said: "The penmanship is exquisite, the pen is chic and elegant, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, like flowing water, I can witness this thing in my lifetime, and I have no regrets in death!" ”

Then an elder who looked like a teacher walked up to him and took a closer look, and after a while, he said in surprise: "The body is beautiful, the bones are delicate, and the dot paintings are sparse and dense, it is really a masterpiece that has never been seen before or since!" ”

After that, a wealthy businessman with a bright body stepped forward, and after a careful inspection, he said: "The chapter is ingenious, and there is abundant artistic beauty within the size. ”

These three people are famous collectors of ink treasures in Xi'an, and there are countless treasures!

After the three Mobao appraisal masters finished speaking, they bowed and worshipped, which shows that this "Funeral Post" silk is genuine!

Uncle Wu continued: "Everyone has seen that this sticker brushwork is like a floating cloud, like a frightening dragon, which is the true work of the book saint Wang Xizhi!" ”

After Uncle Wu finished speaking, the audience suddenly boiled, and everyone crowded forward to worship the god of the book saint.

In this way, after a few treasures, it was noon, everyone was a little sleepy and hungry, the guys took the guests to the Phoenix Restaurant to rest and eat, and I took Brother Du and several officials from Xi'an Mansion to the room that had been prepared to start eating, and Uncle Wu and I ran back and forth for these officials.

During the banquet, Brother Du said: "Today's treasure appraisal conference, it really made me suddenly, thinking that I have thousands of years of Chinese civilization, it is really not easy for these treasures to be preserved, and when I see it today, I really have no regrets in three lives!" ”

As soon as Brother Du finished speaking, the prefect of Kong hurriedly said, "Yes! These precious cultural relics are the wealth of our Qing Dynasty and the property of our emperor, and any of our people of the Qing Dynasty are obliged to donate these treasures to the imperial court! ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, what the prefect Kong said was really clear, which meant that the treasures we have here must be dedicated to the emperor.

Everyone knows that the treasures of our Wen Bao Zhai are obtained through serious means, one is not robbery, the other is not theft, why should it be dedicated to the emperor for free? Besides, today's corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the imperial court are rampant everywhere, even if we dedicate these treasures to the emperor, we don't know which corrupt officials and corrupt officials will fall into the treasury in the end, so no matter what the prefect of Kong says, we will not do it!

The words of the prefect of Kong caused a rumor among the people present!

And Brother Du, as the minister of the imperial court, is even more unaccustomed to this kind of corrupt official behavior of "clearly upholding justice, but actually enriching himself".

Brother Du said sternly: "Then is the Tang Bohu's "Luoxia Lonely Bird" in the Confucian Governor's Mansion also dedicated to the emperor?" ”

Governor Kong hurriedly said: "How can that be done?" That's a family heirloom! ”

Brother Du sneered and said: "How did the things of the Tang family become the heirloom of your Kong family, besides, don't do to others what you don't want, you don't want to dedicate your own things to today's saints, so why ask others to do this?" ”

The Governor of Kong was said to be hesitant for a while, and I didn't know how to answer!

I was afraid that the atmosphere would become stiff, so I hurriedly played a round and said: "Brother Du, Governor Kong is just talking!" ”

When the prefect of Kong heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'm just talking casually, let's hurry up and eat, the food is going to be cold!" ”

Everyone slowly began to talk, and the awkward atmosphere just now eased a lot.

Think about this Confucian prefect is really disappointing, we held a celebration, no one invited you to come, but here you said some high-sounding lies, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to, I really don't know if he is scheming or pretending to be stupid and cute?

Brother Du didn't want to worry about him, so he hurriedly ate some food, and asked me to accompany him to appreciate the treasure.

To be honest, each of the treasures of this Wen Bao Zhai has a unique background and historical story, and if it goes on for three days and three nights, it may not be able to finish it one by one!

Brother Nai Du is really a person who loves treasures and cherishes treasures, and I respect and love these things from the heart, so I can only follow him and patiently explain it to him.

In this way, I accompanied Brother Du to watch them one by one, and two or three hours passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, it has been a day of trouble, and everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, and everyone is listless and can't lift their spirits.

Somehow, the more I get to this time, the more inexplicable vigilance I feel in my heart, and the time when people are most lax is when the "wolf" is most concentrated.

I was still in my thoughts, when suddenly the sky suddenly turned dark for no reason, and I couldn't see my fingers around me, and I immediately shouted: "Beggar, take care of the treasure!" ”

The beggar didn't know where he answered from a distance, and I was ready to fight at any time.

The crowd in the courtyard was in a panic all at once, and all kinds of shouts and exclamations came and went!

At this time, I only heard a whistling arrow and shot towards the crowd, I quickly moved to the back of the rockery with Brother Du, and then heard everyone's shouts and cries for help, suddenly four or five people on my upper left attacked me and Brother Du's position, I pulled up Brother Du and hid behind me, and then quickly took out the dragon scales and jumped out and then slashed a few bright blades in the dark, and suddenly the four or five people lay on the ground, at this time I still can't see any light, I don't know what evil magic these people use, It's not easy to lose the light in broad daylight.

Just as I was looking for the rest of the attackers, the sky suddenly brightened, and we couldn't open our eyes from the sun.

All I could feel was someone on the roof speeding away with a couple of big kites.

In the middle of the courtyard, there were already corpses and bones, almost all of them were black-clothed people, and a few visitors were also unfortunately hit by arrows, and the rest were shrunk in fright.

At this time, the beggars rushed in with the officers and soldiers, and the courtyard and the house were surrounded by water.

Everyone was stunned when they looked at everything in front of them, not knowing what had just happened, I hurriedly called Uncle Wu and asked him to count the number of treasures first, and then in the long run, everyone present was immediately controlled by the officials and soldiers.

The beggar stepped forward and said, "Childe, what the hell is going on?" I was just outside patrolling when suddenly there was a thunderbolt and a puff of sand and dust blew in, and we couldn't see anything clearly. I struggled to find the gate and rushed in, and this happened! ”

I asked suspiciously, "Did I just let you get it out of the way?" Didn't you promise to come down! ”

The beggar said in surprise, "I was outside just now, and I didn't hear any of your voices?" ”

I muttered to myself a little confused, "Then who promised me just now?" ”

The beggar looked at me with a blank expression.

At this time, Sister Qingyi hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother Tiancheng, what do you think this is?" ”

I only saw Sister Qingyi holding a few flying knives in her hands, and the handle of the flying knife was engraved with the word "Ghost Road", I took it and looked at it, this flying knife is by no means a thing from the Central Plains, and I really don't know the origin of the flying knife!

At this time, Uncle Wu came over in a panic and said, "Tiancheng, it's broken now, we have lost four treasures!" ”

I hurriedly asked, "Are those four?" ”

Uncle Wu hurriedly said: "It is the four pieces of "Red and White Hibiscus", "Tiger Eating Man", "Jade Horse" and "Funeral Post"! ”

I almost didn't jump up when I heard this, the four pieces that were lost are the treasures of our Wenbao Zhai's town store, how should I explain to my father if I lost these four pieces?

For a while, everyone was in a mess, and when Brother Du heard that he had lost these four pieces, he was even more angry, he didn't expect it to be stolen under his nose, who is too rampant! So Brother Du led the officers and soldiers to carefully interrogate the people in the courtyard one by one.

I came to the window where these four things were lost with Uncle Wu, Sister Qingyi, and the beggar, and everywhere I went, there were more than a dozen people in black lying around the window, and Sister Qingyi cried and said: "Brother Tiancheng, I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job of the news, so these bad people stole these things!" ”

The beggar was also dejected and couldn't say a word!

I walked over and patted Sister Qingyi's back and said comfortingly: "Qingyi, this is not your fault, you see that so many people have died before each treasure, they are obviously using crowd tactics to destroy your bracket pin spring, so many people are even more advanced bracket pin springs are useless, you don't blame yourself!" ”

As soon as I said this, Sister Qingyi felt a lot more relieved, he looked at everything around him and said: "Yes, in this empty courtyard, it is not a problem for my agency to deal with a few people, but this time there are more than a dozen people, I am really out of line, I don't know where the divine knows this stupidest but most useful method!" ”

The beggar continued: "Those who can use this method must be the people who have been fighting for many years, who else?" Childe, do you think it will be the Green Gang? ”

I thought for a while and said: "I don't think so, this style of acting is too different from what the Green Gang does, and if you look at these people, they obviously have a bit of the appearance of people from the Western Regions, the Green Gang will not have so many people from the Western Regions!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Uncle Wu picked up a flying knife on the ground and looked at it carefully, I leaned over and said, "Uncle Wu, what did you find?" ”

Uncle Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Tiancheng, have you noticed that the word 'Ghost Dao' is engraved on the hilt of each deceased person here?" ”

I said, "Well, just now Sister Qingyi came over with a few flying knives for me to see, but I just entered the rivers and lakes, and I don't know much about these secret gangs in the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Uncle Wu do you have any clues here?" ”

Uncle Wu said with a very ugly face: "Ghost way, ghost way, ghost road, when you meet a ghost, it's the way!" Who has such great ability to invite out this vicious cult that disappeared from the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago? ”

I said suspiciously: "Ghost way, ghost way, when you meet ghosts, it is the way, what does it mean?" ”

Uncle Wu sighed and said: "Tiancheng, you are still young, you may not have heard of this name, this is a secret cult in the northwest hundreds of years ago, all the sect members know witchcraft, not only can call the wind and rain, but what is even more terrifying is that the ghost Taoist sect leader is said to be a figure in the Hongwu period of the previous dynasty, how old do you say this person has lived to be now?" The meaning of that sentence is that people in the world, as long as you encounter a ghost, you can only go down the road if you become a ghost! ”

"Isn't that just death if you meet them?" The beggar asked in surprise.

Uncle Wu nodded, confirming the beggar's problem from the side.

I wanted to know more about the ghost path at the moment, so I asked Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, can you tell me more about the ghost path cult?" I think we have to start with their origins to find the treasures! ”

Uncle Wu sighed and said: "This kind of secret cult is extremely secretive, and it may have changed its flavor when it spreads to the outside, and I only heard people talk about it on the Silk Road when I was seven or eight years old. I was also young at the time, so I don't remember very well, so I'll give you a brief explanation! ”

We all waited quietly for Uncle Wu to continue.

Uncle Wu thought for a moment, and then said: "I remember when I was seven or eight years old, when I was forced to step into the rivers and lakes due to the pressure of life, and I was fortunate to be taken in by a silk patron to help pull goods on the Silk Road, at that time I heard a lot of strange things about the Western Regions, and the most shocking and timid thing in those stories was the ghost road in the desert of the Western Regions. ”

Speaking of "ghost road", we have to start from the Hongwu period. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's great cause was first built, everything was not yet stable, and all kinds of remnants of the Yuan Dynasty rebelled under the rule, trying to subvert the Ming Dynasty again and recover the Mongolian Great Yuan.

For a time, riots and killings in various places have been in constant disputes, and the common people have been in dire straits.

Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry after hearing the news, but the great cause had just been accomplished, and the country was empty, so he really did not have the strength to eradicate these chaotic parties hiding in the dark. However, this kind of behavior could not be allowed to develop arbitrarily, so Zhu Yuanzhang secretly issued a holy decree to Xu Da, asking him to find strangers in the rivers and lakes, and let these people in the rivers and lakes eradicate these rioters through various means.

In just a few months, Xu Da found an army of hundreds of strangers from the people with a holy decree. So Xu Da distributed them to various places and killed the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who resisted!

The so-called "aliens" in these rivers and lakes are actually some Taoist people who know witchcraft and magic, they are usually psychologically dark, and are spurned by the world, this time with the emperor's holy decree, they are even more wanton, burning, killing and looting, and persecuting a lot of ordinary people while suppressing the rebels, and complaining everywhere!

After these things reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears again, Zhu Yuanzhang was first happy and then furious, happy that the chaotic party had been cleaned up for a while, and the forces of the Yuan Dynasty that threatened him were finally eliminated, and the angry thing was that these people actually learned the deeds of those remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, which is really frightening!

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that if these people continued like this, they would endanger the stability of the imperial court, so he issued another holy decree to Xu Da, sending the Ming Dynasty army to various places to encircle and suppress these ghosts, snakes, and gods in the rivers and lakes.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty has been established for several years, the country is recuperating, the people are well-fed, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, these bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the rivers and lakes were scattered and fled by the army of the imperial court, and they died, and they were injured, anyway, in the end, few people could survive safely.

At that time, among these people, there was a very famous Fang Shi, known as the "Ghost Daozi", and it was this person who established the later "Ghost Dao" cult.

In just a few months, there are very few of the ghosts, snakes and gods in the world who work for the imperial court, and all those who remain are elites with real learning or talent, hiding in Tibet every day and living a dark life.

The "Ghost Daozi" is an unwiped cult force entrenched in the Western Regions.

In order to retaliate for the treachery of the imperial court, this team often came to the Central Plains to carry out large-scale slaughter of the government and the common people.

For a while, people were panicked, and everyone did not dare to go out at night.

Since then, this cult force in the Western Regions has become famous, and the remnants of strangers from all over the country have gone to defect, and in just one year, it has developed into a huge sect with thousands of members.

The "ghost way" raised his arms and set up the "ghost way" cult, and the "ghost way" naturally became the leader of the cult.

These were transmitted to Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, afraid that its development and growth would threaten his throne, so he sent Xu Da to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the Western Regions to encircle and suppress, but unfortunately these 30,000 people were beaten by these rivers and lakes in the desert and fled, and when they fled back to the capital, there were only three or four hundred people left.

Zhu Yuanzhang never imagined that his most powerful general leading the most elite troops would not be able to encircle and suppress a few thousand Jianghu grass bandits, which was really a big shock. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a member of the Ming Sect in the Yuan Dynasty, so he was very jealous of this kind of armed sect, fearing that they would eventually endanger his throne like himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up, and sent seven expeditions successively, but none of them achieved the desired results. However, this cult in the Western Regions has slowly developed into the largest force in the Western Regions and even in Mobei, and even Emperor Yuan Shun, who fled north, has to give up three points.

After Uncle Wu finished speaking, his tongue was already dry, so I quickly asked the guy to go back and get a cup of tea and handed it to Uncle Wu.

I asked suspiciously, "What's so powerful about this ghost cult?" Can Xu Da's 30,000 elites be buried in the Western Desert? ”

Uncle Wu moistened his throat and said: "What happened during this period, no one knows now, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed for so many years, and our Qing Dynasty has also gone through more than two hundred years, adding up to a total of almost five hundred years, who else can live so long and tell the truth about what happened back then?" ”

I only listened to the Uyghurs nearby on the Silk Road when I was a child, and every time there was a fierce battle between this ghost cult and the imperial army, it would always be pouring down heavy rain, the sky was lightning and thundering, and a dark cloud would envelop all the imperial court troops, and when the dark clouds dispersed and the sky returned to normal, all I saw was the bones of white flowers all over the ground, and the weapons, clothes, and baggage of the officers and soldiers disappeared!

What's more, what's even more strange is that every time they fight with the officials and soldiers, they have never seen any figures of the Ghost Dao Cult, and they always feel that the officers and soldiers are fighting out of thin air and air, which is very puzzled! Therefore, the people in their vicinity all say that the cult ghost path is not a thing of this world at all, they are a group of demons from hell!

Since then, there has been no news of the Ghost Dao sect!

We were all surprised to stay in place, this sect of five hundred years ago disappeared for so long, and today it actually appeared on the centennial celebration of our Wenbao Zhai, and successfully stole the treasure of our town store, which is also incredible!

We have no grievances or enmity with that ghost cult, who has such great ability to invite this cult that has disappeared for a hundred years, I really can't imagine it! After such a toss, it was almost dusk, and there was no need for the treasure appreciation conference to go on, so we sent the guests away, and prepared to clean up and discuss how to get such things back.

At this time, Brother Du came over to me and said, "Tiancheng, I have interrogated all the people present, but there is no useful news, I don't know how you will recover those treasures?" ”

I smiled and said: "Brother Du, you can come today, it is the greatest honor of our Wen Bao Zhai, these few things that have been lost may not be able to be found for a while, we still have to think in the long run, today you are already very tired, you just take someone back to rest, I will inform you as soon as there is any progress!" ”

Brother Du said: "It's okay, this matter is really not urgent, but brother, if you need any help, you can use the eldest brother, just open your mouth, as the eldest brother, I will not live up to our oath in front of Master Guan!" ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Du, I will go back to you if I need to!" ”

Then we sent Brother Du outside together, and then we were ready to go back to Wenbaozhai to pack up our things and prepare countermeasures!
