One hundred and thirty-two. Treasure of the Nation (Ask for the first order!) )
Yuan Xiye's voice was simply impatient.
Baby? What kind of treasure hasn't Yuan Xiye seen? But the voice on the phone was so excited.
Ai Xiaohai's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
When I returned to Xinan, I didn't have time to eat lunch, so I hurriedly went to Yuan Xiye. As soon as he saw Ai Xiaohai, Yuan Lao pulled him to sit beside him, and pointed to something in front of him: "Look, look, what is this!" ”
Ai Xiaohai's gaze fell on such a thing......
This? What is this? So weird?
A square hole coin is connected to a square iron card, which is worthless no matter how you look at it. Ah, there are still a few words written on the square hole money and the iron plate, and I don't know if it's a small seal or a word.
Ai Xiaohai struggled to identify: "Nan Xin Baokui ......"
Yuan Lao, who had originally obtained good things and was very proud, was leisurely drinking tea, when he heard this, a mouthful of tea squirted out, choked and coughed again and again, and it took a long time to ease up, and he gasped with a smile: "What is Xinbaokui, it is a national treasure Jinkui!" ”
Ai Xiaohai's face turned red. There are only four words in total, and not only is the order reversed when I read them, but there are also two wrong words in the four.
A national treasure? With such a big breath, who would dare to cast such four words on a coin? What about the iron plate on the square underneath? What is written?
"Zhiwan, these are the words Zhiwan!" Excited and fanatical eyes flowed in Yuan Xiye's eyes: "Xiaohai, national treasure Jinkui, Zhiwan, do you understand?" ”
Ai Xiaohai shook his head in confusion, what is it? Worthy of Yuan Lao's excitement? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a strange style of ancient coins, how can Yuan Lao look like picking up a big gold brick?
Yuan Xiye then remembered that Ai Xiaohai's knowledge of cultural relics was really limited and pitiful: "Jin Kui Zhiwan!" A national treasure! The treasure of the country, the treasure of the country! ”
He's crazy like that. Even when Ai Xiaohai gave him the pair of bucket color Tianma pattern lid jars, he had never seen him like this.
"The treasure of the country, the treasure of the country!" Yuan Xiye kept repeating these four words. After a long time, he said: "Do you know Wang Mang? It was Wang Mang who usurped the Han. After he established a new dynasty, he minted coins. The font is beautiful, the casting is excellent, the shape is unique, Daquan fifty, one knife flat five thousand, etc. are all treasures. Among them, there is a mysterious coin, with a peculiar shape, a square hole on the top, the four characters of the book 'National Treasure Jinkui', a long square below, and the word "Zhiwan" on the book, this is it, this is it! ”
Of course Wang Mang knows. But the problem is that Ai Xiaohai still hasn't seen where this gold is worth.
"Gem, this money is the best of the best. In the 'Ancient Money Dictionary' written by the ancients, it was said that this money could be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, but no one had ever seen the real appearance of this money. Yuan Xiye's words still couldn't suppress his excitement: "During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, two pieces were unearthed, but they were later deceived by two Americans, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Later, another one was unearthed and is now in the National Museum...... The rest of the ones circulating in the market are all fakes! ”
Ai Xiaohai roughly understood.
There are only three in the world...... Yes. No, the whereabouts of the two deceived by the Americans are unknown, and there is only one that actually exists in the world, which must be extremely precious.
The question is, where did this one come from in Yuan Lao's hand? Stolen from the National Museum? Certainly not. One of those two that was deceived by the Americans? It doesn't seem to make sense.
"Later, several more were unearthed. But after testing, they were all imitated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the quality was not different. It is still dilapidated. Yuan Xiye finally calmed down from his excitement: "But even so, Guardian Auction Company can still auction more than one million!" ”
Ai Xiaohai was speechless when he heard it. A poorly tasted, ruined fake can be auctioned for a million? If only it were genuine. Is that still there?
"I've been researching this one for a long time, and I'm basically sure it's real." Yuan Xiye looked very confident: "Xiaohai." Once the fourth gold is released, it will inevitably cause a sensation. But do you know where I got it from? ”
This is exactly what Ai Xiaohai wants to ask.
"Actually, I found out that this Jin Kui Zhiwan has something to do with you......"
Yuan Xiye's words made Ai Xiaohai very confused, does he have a dime relationship with Jin Kuizhiwan?
Yuan Lao took a sip of tea and slowly told Ai Xiaohai the origin of this important treasure of the country......
There is an old doctor surnamed Tang, who usually likes to collect all kinds of antiques and cultural relics, and passed on the cultural relics he collected to his son before his death. His son later went to business, but the business lost money and owed a large amount of debt, so he used the brains of these cultural relics left by Lao Tzu.
However, if you take a look at these cultural relics, they are all fakes!
Doctor Tang may be highly skilled, but he is very poor at collecting antiques and relics, and God knows how many times he has been deceived.
His son did not give up, and found Yuan Lao through his relationship. Yuan Lao looked at it, the answer was the same as before, fake, all fake, and there was not even a real thing. In despair, Dr. Tang's son thought of those huge debts and wanted to die.
Yuan Lao was already famous at that time, looking at him pitiful, plus there were a few imitations of these fakes at the end of the Qing Dynasty ~ The workmanship was not bad, so he paid 50,000 yuan to buy this pile of fakes. It didn't help him to ask for it, so he kept piling it up in the warehouse.
After meeting Ai Xiaohai, I always heard Ai Xiaohai say that his grandfather left him a lot of things, and he could turn out a surprising thing in a few days. Yuan Lao was extremely bored, thinking that he had piled up a lot of antiques from various places in his warehouse over the years, maybe he could find one or two things if he looked carefully.
I really found a few good things, and when I turned over the pile of fakes left by Dr. Tang, Yuan Lao was old, and accidentally broke an imitation horse stepping Feiyan, and a small cloth bag appeared from the fragments inside.
The person who imitated Ma Ta Feiyan actually hid the small cloth bag in it, which immediately attracted Yuan Lao's attention. As a result, when he opened the small cloth bag, he not only found this gold Kui Zhiwan, but also found a secret that made him stunned.
During the Daoguang period, after unearthing two gold pieces, there were a father and son of tomb robbers in the local area, and they heard that the ancient copper coins unearthed by the two were very valuable, so they moved their minds. They thought that if they could find two in the area, there might be more.
So they dug more than 100 ancient tombs in a row in five years, and their luck was incredibly good, when they dug up the last large tomb, they found a bag of ancient coins in the shape of square hole money on the top and rectangular on the bottom.
The father and son of the tomb robbers knew that they had dug more than a hundred ancient tombs, and the government would have to find them sooner or later. Although they have escaped in five years, they can hide from the first year of junior high school, but they can't hide from the fifteenth. The father and son simply got on the ship to the South Seas.
Their luck has run out here, too. Halfway through the boat, it was shipwrecked, and more than half of the people on board died. Lao Tzu, one of the tomb robbers, died, and his son and a small group of survivors drifted to an uninhabited island......
When Yuan Xiye said this, he took out a piece of silk cloth: "This is what I found at the same time as Jin Kui Zhiwan in the fake of Ma Ta Feiyan, and I recorded the story in detail. But the terrible things are yet to come......"
The silk cloth said that the survivors of the shipwreck thought they were saved, but they did not expect a group of terrible monsters to appear on the island, strong and black, and thousands of them were densely packed when they were dispatched. Whenever a living creature is seen, it rushes up, and when it passes, all that remains of the living creature is a pair of white bones.
One by one, the shipwrecked survivors died at the hands of this terrible and cruel creature, and the grave robber's son, frightened, slipped away as fast as he could, and hid the bag of coins he had been carrying with him somewhere on the island, carrying only one himself, and jumping back into the sea to escape the creature.
The lost luck returned, and he had been adrift at sea for a day, and in his exhaustion and despair, a merchant ship passed by, rescued him, and brought him back to the country.
Originally, I wanted to go to Nanyang, but I turned around and returned to the original place, and the tomb robbers also died. He knew that he was carrying this coin, and if someone found out, something would happen sooner or later, so he made a shoddy forgery, and recorded what happened to him, and hid it with the coin.
At this point, no one knows what happened to the tomb robbers. Maybe he was caught and beheaded by the government, or maybe he died somewhere, but the fake of this horse riding Feiyan has been kept from generation to generation, and the secret hidden in it has never been discovered. Yuan Xiye sighed: "Xiaohai, this is Jin Kui Zhiwan, and the tomb robbers have found a whole bag!" How much is in a bag? Tomb robbers are not recorded, maybe ten, maybe a hundred. But no matter how many they are, once they are discovered, they will cause a sensation all over the world! And now, these treasures of the country have been sleeping on an island for hundreds of years! ”
Ai Xiaohai somewhat understood: "Elder Yuan, are you trying to find these...... Jin Kui Zhiwan? ”
Seeing Yuan Xiye nodded, Ai Xiaohai smiled bitterly: "Old Yuan, let's not talk about any terrible and cruel creatures on that island, let alone whether there are such monsters, I estimate that after so many years, no matter how cruel the creatures are, they are all dead." And most importantly, there are so many islands, where can you find them? ”
"There's a clue." Yuan Xiye took out another piece of cloth: "This is what the tomb robbers used to wrap gold and silk cloth, what do you see on it?" ”
Ai Xiaohai came up, it was a sea chart. Detailed directions are drawn on it, with special markings in one of the locations, and a small island is drawn.
"Tomb robbers always have memories beyond ordinary people, so I decided that this is the location of the treasure left by that person!" Yuan Lao said with confidence.
Ai Xiaohai suddenly felt that the location of this island was so familiar! (To be continued......)
