Chapter 69: The English Knight

Wang Lianba had a clear mind and was very smart, and when he saw the appearance of the man, he felt that the man must be a sand digger and a tomb robber, so he kept quiet, closed the door, and invited the man into the back room to talk.

Sure enough, the man took out something and showed it to Wang Lianba, it was an unearthed bronze artifact, but the bronze artifact was very distinctive, like a northwest waist drum, Wang Lianba had never seen it, so he asked the man for advice and wanted to ask the source.

In the antique industry, there is a saying that no story is no antique, which means that antiques must be sold with a good story, so that it is valuable and realistic.

However, in that era, that is, in the late eighties and early nineties, there were really not so many fakes and imitations in China, so at that time, the story still had to be told in the antique business, and as for whether to believe it or not, it was all up to your own judgment.

So the man told Wang Lianba that this was a bronze drum in the Xia and Shang periods, which was used by the great witch who was sacrificing to the king of Shang at that time......

Of course, that story is not so simple, this is just a relatively simple thing that Wang Lianba said, but the gist has been clear, that is, this bronze drum can make the Shang King of Yin Shang at that time immortal, and even rejuvenate, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a legend, even if this is true, this is just the good wish of the Shang King back then.

But Wang Lianba, he is definitely not an ordinary person, his experience is extraordinary, and his vision is also extraordinary, so he will not think like ordinary people, when he listened to the story of that person, he decided to buy this bronze drum, and it was bought at a sky-high price.

The reason is very simple, just because of the mural, the mural he had seen in the tomb of the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he clearly remembered that on the mural, there was a bronze drum that was dedicated to the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and what was described in the mural seemed to be what the man said.

So, because of the sudden appearance of this bronze drum, Wang Lianba began to believe in that legend, or rather, he began a long research work on that legend.

He traveled all over the world, collected all the bronze drums, as long as it was of this style, he would accept it, no matter what the sky-high price or the evil price, he would not hesitate to buy them all, continue his research, continue his dreams.

During this period, of course, his research work also made considerable progress, and at a private exhibition abroad, he actually saw the original mural again.

So he did everything possible to find the owner of the mural, that is, the British knight, the person who had paid for them to steal the mural.

At this time, the English knight was already a twilight old man, his prime was gone, he might not live for a few years, so money had become meaningless to him, but Wang Lianba still wanted to buy the mural, he told the old man about his personal experience, the old man was moved, so he sold the mural to him and asked him to take it back to the motherland.

In this way, Wang Lianba got the mural, and he finally got the real story about the mural from the old man's mouth.

Wang Lianba kept talking, and when he said this, he paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Gao Chao, who had fallen into deep thought, and said lightly: "Boss Gao, you must have looked at this mural very carefully, so what did you see?" ”

Gao Chao has been immersed in Wang Lianba's story, and when Wang Lianba asked him like this, he didn't know what to say, he looked dazed, shook his head, and said in his heart You are really ink, since you know this story, just tell it directly, why do you want to test me?

Gao Chao's thoughts seemed to be seen by Wang Lianba, so Wang Lianba actually smiled and said: "Boss Gao, don't get me wrong, there are not many people who have seen this mural, and I am afraid that there are even fewer people who can see the meaning of it, so I would like to know your opinion, because I have only gotten a word so far, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions and deviations, if you really have some of your own thoughts, it is better to share them with me now, I Wang Lianba is grateful." ”

Gao Chao understood what Wang Lianba meant, so he had to nod and say: "I think I saw it, but I'm afraid the ideas I see are not accurate, if you don't say it right, you don't have to laugh." ”

Wang Lianba hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is it, everyone is a brother and friend, it should all be discussed, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it!" ”

Gao Chao nodded again, and then took a few steps back, so that he could fully see the entire mural, and then he looked at it again before he said slowly: "This mural is obviously about a process, but I see it a little confused......"

Wang Lianba didn't mind, and said: "Boss Gao doesn't have to be modest, he can say whatever comes to mind, and he doesn't have to be restrained." ”

Gao Chao looked at the mural, and then said: "Then I will think of where to say it, first of all, you look at the broken place on the far left, I feel that it seems to have been deliberately destroyed by someone, the reason is very simple, because the other places of this mural, although there are also damages, but all of them are due to small cracks, only there, it is like someone has been dug up by force, and the black bird, full of golden light, is about to fly there, so it has to make people reverie, Is there something extremely important painted there, and the person who destroys it doesn't want others to know what it's all about. ”

Gao Chao spoke, the fat man seemed to understand on the side, and nodded constantly, while Wang Lianba, who was standing on the other side, of course, was also nodding, his eyes seemed to be flashing with some kind of light, as if he agreed with Gao Chao's point of view.

Gao Chao continued: "That blackbird is actually very special, it appears twice in the whole mural, once it is glowing, once it is not luminous, once it has something in its mouth, once it has an empty mouth, once it has only two eyes, and once it has an extra eye on its head, which is really strange, so I think that the two blackbirds in this mural may not be the same one, or represent different meanings......
