"This exhibition hall is the beginning of Chinese civilization, and the essence of the entire Chinese Xia civilization culture is concentrated here."

"This exhibition hall is the Chinese bronze culture, there are 547 Shang Dynasty bronzes, each of which is of the heavy level,"

"This exhibition hall is the pre-Qin culture of China, where 3,048 volumes of pre-Qin bamboo slips are preserved, and the pre-Qin culture laid the foundation for Chinese culture,"

"This exhibition hall is Chinese porcelain culture, from the earliest primitive porcelain, to the formation and development history of Chinese porcelain are all condensed in this exhibition hall."

"This exhibition hall is Chinese calligraphy culture,"

"This is the exhibition hall of Chinese ancient books and texts, where 1,200 Dunhuang picture scrolls and scriptures are exhibited, and four volumes of Jiajing's copy of the Yongle Canon."

In the end, Chen Rui took Professor Zhao to the underground treasure house with a shocked face, and the Xia Hou Clan's Huang, who is as famous as the He's wall, the first book in the world, the two Chinese national treasures of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" have already shocked Professor Zhao to the point of being stunned.

Leaving the underground vault, the two passed a room where six or seven people were working.

When they saw someone coming in, they all looked up.

"Hello Mr. Chen, why do you have time to come here today?" An old man wearing a tunic with gray hair and glasses said to Chen Rui with a smile, he was wearing a pair of white gloves in his hand, holding a piece of porcelain in his hand, and was appraising this porcelain, "This is,"

The old man's name is Ji Guochang, the former research librarian of the Palace Museum of China, and the former member of the appraisal committee of the Chinese Cultural Heritage Society. A well-known ceramic expert in China. Good at porcelain identification. He has a deep understanding of modern ceramic antique techniques, and is currently working at the Royal Museum of Tortuga Island as the director of the Chinese Pavilion.

"Professor Zhao Guangyuan, who teaches at Central South University, is very interested in antiques, so I took Professor Zhao to visit the museum." Chen Rui said

Everyone, chill out. Begin to continue the identification work in hand.

Chen Rui took a look in the room and casually picked up a painting on the table.

Putting on gloves, carefully spreading them out, admiring them, the painting depicts palaces, buildings, houses, boats, markets, bridges, streets, and castles.

It can be seen that this is a very old calligraphy and painting.

Ji Guochang saw that Chen Rui noticed this painting, and said, "This painting was received in Liuli Factory last year. The author of the painting is unobstructed. According to the C14 isotope, this painting was painted around 1100 years ago, which is probably the time of the Later Tang and Later Jin dynasties in China. ”

Chen Rui opened his mouth and asked, "How many paintings do you receive?" ”

"170,000 yuan, although, the author of the painting is unknown, however, the painting is relatively large, the painting is also very exquisite, the scene expressed in the painting, the characters are lifelike, very vivid, interspersed with various activities, the composition is dense and compact, rich in rhythm and rhythm changes, the pen and ink are very ingenious, quite skilled, the most important thing is that the painting shows the scene of Luoyang City at that time, and it is also a portrayal of the economic situation of the city of five dynasties and ten countries, through this painting, You can learn about the city appearance of the five dynasties and ten countries and the life of people from all walks of life at that time, which is very valuable as cultural relics. ”

Chen Rui nodded, and the painting was colored on silk.

Chen Rui subconsciously scanned the painting with his divine sense, and was suddenly stunned, his expression was stunned for a while, and soon, his expression regained his calmness, and he said to Ji Guochang, "I like this painting very much, can I take this painting away." ”

"Sure, you can, but you need to register."

"Okay." Chen Rui nodded-

After leaving the museum, he hosted a banquet for Professor Zhao in the Swiss Garden.

After the banquet, Professor Zhao likes to drink tea.

Chen Rui sent the professor half a tael of Wuyi rock tea, and personally sent Professor Zhao away from Ruiyuan.

At night, at the desk in your bedroom.

Chen Rui gently spread out the "Luoyang Map".

This "Luoyang Map" hides a huge secret.

For Chen Rui, who has divine sense, any abnormality in the painting can be found.

In this painting, in a blank space in the lower left corner of the painting, some words are hidden by a special method of concealment.

Chen Rui guessed that the pigment used to write these words was a special pigment with the characteristics of water, painted on silk, absorbed by the silk, and then hidden after drying, and had the characteristics of ink, unlike water, which will evaporate, and this pigment can be preserved on silk for a long time.

In this way, it can be hidden and stored for a very long time.

Although Chen Rui didn't know how to reveal the hidden characters on the painting.

However, under the scanning of Chen Rui's divine sense, these words have long been 'revealed'.

There are a total of 4 characters, 'Xi is in the painting'.

Speaking of seals, Chen Rui immediately thought of the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country, also known as the "national seal", "the national treasure", its square circle is four inches, the five dragons of the New York hand, the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", as a token of "imperial power and divine grant, orthodoxy and legitimacy".

The emperors of the past dynasties have taken this seal as a symbol, and they are like treasures, and they are also important weapons of the country. If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted". Those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as the "white version of the emperor", which means that you, the emperor, are sealed by yourself, and you appear to be despised by the world because of your lack of confidence

According to historical records, Li Congke, the abolished emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, was defeated by the Khitan, and set himself on fire with a jade seal, and the whereabouts of the jade seal are unknown.

This record is incorrect, or the Spring and Autumn penmanship is used.

Holding the jade seal to self-immolation, you must know that the Heshi wall used to carve the jade seal of the country is the 'pillar feldspar' in the jade, which can withstand high temperatures of 1300 degrees Celsius, so it can't be incinerated by fire.

Therefore, either the record is wrong, or the Spring and Autumn penmanship is used.

However, two facts are certain.

First, the jade seal was not burned.

Second, the jade seal was after the deposed emperor Li Congke in the Later Tang Dynasty, and his whereabouts have not been unknown since then.

"Luoyang Tu" passed the modern C14 isotope determination, painted in the Later Tang Dynasty and Later Jin Dynasty, and has the hidden language of "seal in the painting".

So, is it possible to guess.

Later Tang Hedong Jiedu made Shi Jingtang take the Khitan army to Luoyang, and the later Tang Dynasty abolished Emperor Li Congke did not burn the jade seal of the country, or burned it, but was snatched out of the burned ruins, for fear that the jade seal of the country would bring death to himself, and hid the jade seal of the country.
