Hearing this, Chu Chen secretly shook his head and sighed, so sometimes people's cognition is actually completely different from the truth. As far as he is concerned, before worshipping Liu Lao as a teacher, he has always thought that Wang Daoren is a heinous criminal, and whenever he thinks of those scriptures that have been lost overseas, he hates Wang Daoren is gritted his teeth.

It wasn't until later, after he saw the relevant information from Liu Lao's study, that he realized that compared to those vegetarian corpses, Wang Daoren was already dutiful.

But sometimes that's the case, good intentions often do bad things, let's just say that this royal man, if he had been doing nothing in those years, maybe he wouldn't be so infamous now.

Everyone sighed for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became a little dull because of it.

Seeing this, Zhao Qirui hurriedly changed the topic to a lighter one, and under Chu Chen's deliberate guidance and Liu Sizhe's tricks, the atmosphere in the room began to be cheerful again.

When the time was almost right, Cao Hui came to the door, and after a few pleasantries, everyone got into the business car he had hired, and then set off for the place where the auction was held.

In fact, Zhao Qirui already knew in advance where the auction would be held, and they could actually go without Cao Hui, but Cao Hui had also made efforts after all, so he didn't necessarily have to let him stick his hot face to their cold butts. Although Cao Hui's purpose is a bit utilitarian, if he really has to do this, it is somewhat inappropriate. ……

The location of the auction is actually in a villa of nearly 1,000 square meters on the side of Repulse Bay, in a place like Xiangjiang where every inch of land is valuable, and in a high-end area like Repulse Bay, even now the housing prices in Xiangjiang have fallen a lot. It's not something that the average rich can afford to buy, so it can be seen. The energy of the auction organizers must be not small.

Everyone got out of the car and walked towards the door of the villa under the leadership of Cao Hui. There, they met Cao Hui's friend, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was a little short and stocky.

This person is also surnamed Cao like Cao Hui, maybe Cao Hui has already explained Chu Chen's identity before, so this person seems to be very enthusiastic, but the enthusiasm is just right, and it doesn't make people feel contrived.

Although this Mr. Cao seemed to be familiar with a butler standing at the door, the butler still asked Chu Chen for an invitation. Then let Mr. Cao walk in with the group.

The decoration of the courtyard of this villa belongs to the European pastoral style, the local atmosphere is very strong, and it is also very tasteful.

After walking through the garden, you will arrive at the main building of the villa, which is different from Chu Chen's villa, and there is a two-story small building next to the main building, according to Cao Hui, where the next person lives.

In fact, Chu Chen's villa also has a place for people to live. Unlike here, there is no separate building, but a whole building. Of course, the main house is still separated from the area where the subordinates live. They will not be affected by each other.

The living room of the villa is very large, full of 200 square meters, and the decoration style also belongs to the European pastoral style. But it's closer to Chinese.

At this time, the layout of the living room is as if it is a drinking party. Sofas, tables, chairs, etc., have been moved around. In addition, there are some snacks and drinks on the table, probably to take care of the fact that many people have not eaten dinner, and there are still some staple foods on the table.

Of course, if you really eat staple food on this occasion, the image is somewhat unbearable, so although there are already twenty or thirty people in the living room, everyone is at most holding a wine glass and eating a little snack to satisfy their hunger.

Among these twenty or thirty people, only one is a young man in his twenties, and the others are at least nearly forty years old, and in terms of dress and temperament, these people are all successful people.

However, these people are rich, but what their status in society is, it is unknown, at least Chu Chen didn't see which of them was a very well-known person in Xiangjiang.

When Chu Chen and the others walked in, these people were divided into four waves, each sitting on the sofa, or standing in a corner of the living room talking. In addition, there are several waiters who roam the living room to serve these people.

Coupled with the beautiful melody playing in the living room, if it weren't for the fact that Zhilu Dao was holding an auction here, Chu Chen would have thought that he had come to a high-end banquet.

As soon as Chu Chen and the eight of them walked in, the living room was instantly quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to them, and then there were more or less people in the four waves who stepped forward to greet Zhao Qirui warmly, which made everyone else very curious about Zhao Qirui's identity, and they all guessed what kind of big man he was.

However, what shocked those people even more was that the owner of the villa, the organizer of this auction, actually stepped forward and greeted Zhao Qirui politely and respectfully, and then he welcomed Zhao Qirui and his party to the innermost and quietest seat, and made tea for Zhao Qirui and them.

At this point, even if those people don't know the true identity of Zhao Qirui, they also know that he must be a big man.

And when the people who greeted Zhao Qirui just now went back, the others immediately knew that Zhao Qirui was the son of the old general Zhao who had made great achievements during the Anti-Japanese War. (Fictional characters, please don't sit in the right seats!) ）

Knowing Zhao Qirui's identity, those people immediately understood what was going on, and even the owner of the villa was alarmed.

It is important to know that the mainland of Lu Dao is quite particular about human relations, which is different from Jin Yuanzheng. In the country of strategy, any trouble in the interior can be solved as long as there is a strong person to say hello.

Since Jin Yuan is not as powerful as power, these businessmen naturally like to associate with powerful figures in order to make their purses bulge, and Zhao Qirui, as a bright person in the princelings, coupled with the increasing influence of Huaxia in the world, his popularity must be needless to say.

The owner of the villa is named Mu Tianguang, who is mainly engaged in real estate business, and is also a relatively well-known figure in Xiangjiang.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Qirui first made an introduction to the two sides, and when Mu Tianguang learned that Chu Chen was Zhao Qirui's nephew and Chu Lao's grandson, he was shocked and excited, and hurriedly and enthusiastically presented his business card.

Wait for Mu Tianguang to finish handing out the business card. Zhao Qirui opened his mouth and said: "I said Mr. Mu, what I said before. You shouldn't have a problem with this, right? ”

Mu Tianguang patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry." I'm also a patriotic businessman, and this kind of thing must be clear. ”

Zhao Qirui heard him so hearted, and suddenly sneered in his heart, if Mu Tianguang was really patriotic, then why didn't he buy the tortoise shell and the more than 100 scriptures before? He's not an auction house, and he doesn't have so many rules. In the final analysis, Mu Tianguang still has milk and is a mother, if there is nothing profitable, he will not do it.

It's just that Mu Tianguang didn't expect. Not long after he finished speaking, two men and a woman walked in from outside the door, and one of them, a middle-aged man, whom he had met several times, was none other than a businessman from the island country, named Tsunesuke Akita.

This made him immediately break out in a cold sweat on his back, and he cursed in his heart at the man who brought Shosuke Shoda in.

The leader is surnamed Yang, this Boss Yang is in a foreign trade business, and the business is not small. There are a lot of foreign friends, in order to contact with the guests, Boss Yang often takes customers to participate in some banquets held by friends, private auctions. He has also taken clients there.

Because of this, Mu Tianguang also called him in advance and asked him not to bring foreign customers over today. Unexpectedly, he not only brought customers, but also from the island.

You must know that Zhao Qirui is because of family factors. I already hate the islanders, and the islanders will definitely be interested in oracle bones and those scriptures. At that time, the two sides will definitely compete fiercely, and even if Zhao Qirui can finally get his hands on the things, the price he will pay will be much more than normal.

At that time, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, Zhao Qirui may be angry with him because of this.

When he thought of this, Mu Tianguang really regretted his intestines, he knew that this kind of thing would happen in the Dao, he shouldn't have coveted the millions of commissions, and bought these two things before. And now the time is about the same, the things have been placed on the table next to him, there is no time to take them down, he can't do anything if he wants to remedy it.

You must know that Lu Dao also has real estate investment in the mainland, and when Zhao Qirui crooks his mouth, his loss may be several times the commission, or even dozens of times, which is too much to lose.

Originally, Zhao Qirui didn't know that the person in Lu Dao was from the island country, but there were no people who knew Shosuke Zhaotian, and from their conversation and laughter, he immediately heard that the person was from the island country, which made him angry, and he really wanted to beat Mu Tianguang up.

Mu Tianguang saw Zhao Qirui's murderous eyes, his heart trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhao, this is really none of my business!" I had already reminded Mr. Yang in advance and asked him not to bring his customers over, who knew that he would come out with this kind of moth! ”

"Then you won't let the butler help you pay attention to it beforehand?" Zhao Qirui gritted his teeth and said.

"After all, it's a guest brought by a friend, so it's a bit unreasonable to do this!" Mu Tianguang said with a sneer.

"You mean I'm unreasonable, huh?"

Zhao Qirui sneered, in fact, he also knew that Mu Tianguang was not to blame for this, but if it was someone from another country, it would be fine, but an island country would come, which made him a little unbearable.

You must know that although Zhao Lao's military exploits are remarkable, his military exploits are also exchanged for his life, and the war left countless wounds on his body, including several fatal gunshot wounds at that time. Whenever he saw the scars on his father's body, Zhao Qirui was heartbroken, and he hated the island people even more.

"It's not! No! Mr. Zhao, I really didn't mean that! Mu Tianguang waved his hand anxiously.

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Qirui waved his hand impatiently and said, "You go and give me the information of Mr. Yang now!" ”

"This ......" Mu Tianguang was somewhat hesitant about this, after all, the invitation was sent by him, and Yang always invited him, if Zhao Qirui really retaliated at that time, then Mr. Yang would definitely settle the account on his head.

"Why, you don't want to?" Zhao Qirui sneered and said, "Okay, I'll keep this matter in my heart!" ”

Seeing Zhao Qirui's attitude, Mu Tianguang's heart suddenly became a little furious, and in line with the idea that even if he offended Mr. Yang, he couldn't offend Zhao Qirui, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay!" I'll have someone put his information together for you right away! ”

After saying that, Mu Tianguang didn't care about anything else, and after saying goodbye, he went to prepare the materials.

Wait until Mu Tianguang leaves. Zhao Qirui sighed: "People are not as good as heaven, at a critical time." God likes to see good things grinding! ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "No matter what, let's just do our best!" ”

Zhao Qirui smiled and nodded: "Yes!" I don't believe it. I can't fight that little man! ……”

After a while, the waiter came to inform them that they could go and see today's lot for the next half hour, and in half an hour, the auction would officially begin.

In this case, the group stood up and followed the waiter to the side where the lot was placed.

The lots were now being placed on small decorated food trucks, each with a waiter standing next to it. Several of the waiters were staring at the people who were appreciating the lots, for fear that something might happen to them.

Chu Chen and the others casually took a pair of white gloves from the waiter, and after putting them on, they first came to the dining cart where the oracle bones and scriptures were placed, after all, the Lord was their main goal this time, and they had to check the authenticity first.

In fact, there is no need to say much about the value and significance of the oracle bone inscription, especially the ten oracle bones in front of me, which are large and have many handwriting. It can be said that all of them are precious national treasures. But it is precisely because the value of oracle bones is so high that there are many fakes on the market, especially some high-quality imitations, which can confuse people's eyes.

Generally speaking. The identification of oracle bones mainly lies in three aspects.

The first is to look at the material, that is, to see if the bones are not in the generation. Bones become fossils. It takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and the Xia Shang era has only been three or four thousand years so far. The bones are far from being "fossils". However, both in color and shape. The difference between oracle bones and new bones is also very obvious.

Chu Chen carefully looked at the ten oracle bones one by one, and it was undoubtedly true that they were genuine from the color, pulp, soil, texture, weight, and so on.

The second is to look at the knife edge. Just like the words on the ten oracle bones in front of Chu Chen's eyes, the knife edges are very sharp and neat. Because the words were engraved on the new bones back then, and the new bones are very flexible, the character characteristics of the oracle bone inscription on the oracle bone in Chu Chen's hand are all the character characteristics of the new bone, sharp, can be bent, and can be at right angles.

Not only that, because there must be fat in the dense bone and bone marrow in the cancellous bone, these things will naturally seep into the knife edge, so Chu Chen can clearly see that there is also oiliness and pulp in the knife edge. In addition, the ancients practiced calligraphy directly on bones, so the oracle bone inscription also has a very unique charm.

Modern people have practiced words on paper since childhood, so not to mention the charm, even the font and layout are very different.

The last point, the ancient oracle bone was used for divination, and divination at that time was a very sacred thing, so the bone used for divination is of course also very important.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Chu Chen to find that each oracle bone has obvious processing marks, and it is difficult for imitations to be able to do these characteristics in place.

In addition, when processing bones, the fat and marrow in the bones will definitely seep out, so that after thousands of years of natural evolution, its unique characteristics are not so easy for counterfeiters to imitate.

After the end, Chu Chen carefully observed other details and confirmed that these ten oracle bones were indeed genuine.

After confirming that the oracle bones were genuine, the people went to the place where the scriptures were kept, and examined more than 100 scriptures one by one, and found that they were also genuine. This made Chu Chen happy, and he was also determined to bring them all back to China.

It's just that the difficulties in this are also obvious, and the basic people present know the value of those oracle bones and scriptures, and it can be said that everyone wants to take them all, and these people are at least multimillionaires, and it is not uncommon for them to have a family fortune of hundreds of millions or even billions.

Not to mention, when Tsunesuke Akida saw these oracle bones and scriptures, his eyes lit up, and the intensity of the competition in the next step is needless to say.

Half an hour seems like a lot, but Chu Chen's time to identify these oracle bones and scriptures will be nearly twenty minutes, and there are still more than thirty lots left, if you want to carefully identify them, ten minutes will definitely be too late.

So Chu Chen and the others hurriedly dispersed, found what they liked and looked at it.

The first thing Chu Chen noticed was a Hu man driving a camel lamp, this copper lamp was composed of a camel on the base, a Hu man riding on the back of a camel, and a lantern that was lifted.

On a rectangular base stands a Bactrian camel with its head and tail down, with slender limbs and a steady posture. Tame and submissive. The Yihu man sits on a hunched body with his feet clamped behind his back, and his hands firmly grasp the ring that connects the lamppost. In the middle is a lamppost and a circular lamp tray.

Hu Ren's face is round, and his cheekbones are protruding. The cheeks are moist, the eyes are slender and slightly raised, and the nose is wide and the mouth is wide, which is the typical physiognomy characteristics of the northern nomads.

From the tall and honest camels and the posture of the Hu people accustomed to hunchback life, it can be seen that it exudes a strong grassland style. The whole bronze sculpture is ingenious and exquisitely made, and the base, camel, figure, lamppost and lamp lamp are integrated, which is a typical craft of the Warring States period. And it is quite rare that it can be preserved so well for more than 2,000 years.

But. Although this Hu man drove the camel lamp well, what attracted Chu Chen's attention was not the copper lamp itself, but a layer of oily substance covered by some impurities in the tray. This layer of oily material is transparent and odorless, like a transparent jelly, placed in this obviously unearthed copper lamp, which is obviously the fuel of the copper lamp in front of you.

It's just that candle oil has been able to survive from the Warring States period to the present. It was really a little unbelievable to Chu Chen, and besides, this candle oil was so special, he couldn't think of it for a while. What the hell is this layer of matter?

However, time was pressing, and Chu Chen really didn't have much time to spend on this bronze lamp, and after using his ability to identify the authenticity. I walked to the side, but only a few steps. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that this layer of fish oil is recorded in the historical records?"

When the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is mentioned in the "Historical Records". There is such a saying: "With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time." ”

As can be seen from this sentence, candles made with mermaid paste can be inextinguished for a long time, almost eternal.

The mermaid paste mentioned here, as the name suggests, is an oil paste made from mermaid boiling. But what kind of fish is a mermaid? "Explanation of Historical Records" quotes Xu Guangyuyun: "A mermaid stands like a mermaid with four legs." But this sentence is too vague to infer what a mermaid is from it.

Some people say that "mermaid" is commonly known as "baby fish", and some people say that mermaid refers to whales, but there are loopholes in both statements, so it is difficult to determine what kind of fish this "mermaid" is.

Moreover, although this mermaid oil is very famous, no one has seen the real thing since ancient times, and the substance in the lamp just now, Chu Chen thinks that it is most likely to be mermaid oil, because in addition, he really doesn't know what kind of candle oil can be preserved from the Warring States period to the present.

Of course, all this is just Chu Chen's speculation, as for whether it is really mermaid oil or not, it still needs to be verified to be confirmed. And the verification method is also very simple, just ignite and try, but there is definitely no such condition in front of you. Therefore, he can only take pictures of the copper lamp for a while before making plans.

Next, Chu Chen originally planned to take a look at a pastel lantern lid bottle in front of him, but he noticed that there were many people gathered in front of a lot in front of him, including the island native Tsunesuke Akita, and the islander's eyes were full of burning emotion, as if he was about to swallow something in front of him.

This made Chu Chen very curious, so he hurriedly walked over there, stretched his neck to take a look, only to find that it was actually a Yao Changtian Eye Lamp, no wonder Tsunesuke Akida was so demeanor.

This Yao Chang Tianmu Zhan is actually a kind of Jianzhan, the island people are very fond of drinking tea, correspondingly, as a special Jianzhan for drinking tea, they also have a soft spot, especially the Yao Chang Tianmu Zhan is regarded as a "national treasure" by them.

What is the Changing Heavenly Eye? To put it simply, it is the Tianmu cup of the kiln.

Written in the early 16th century, in the "Juntaiguan Left and Right Accounts", the treasures of Jianzhan are divided into several grades, among which "Yao Change" is listed as "the supreme divine product of Jianzhan, which is something that is not found in the world." ”

The so-called "dawn" is the gathering of many irregular dots on the black glaze, the dots are yellow, and the surrounding area glows with a dazzling rainbow-like light, mainly blue, hence the name. Scattered on the inner wall of the building, it changes with the direction of viewing, appearing blue when viewed vertically and shining golden when viewed obliquely.

Due to the great difficulty of firing the "Yao Change", the number of inheritances is very small, and there are only four pieces in the collection of the island country, and three of them are designated as "national treasures" and one is designated as important cultural relics.
