"Cangzhou? Do you mean to say, let's go to Uncle Wang again? ”

"That's right!"

Lin Yi pointed to the photo on the screen and said:

"The two reliefs on this can basically be concluded to be the 'fakes' made by the shopkeeper of 'Wengu Zhai' Yue, but for the sake of safety, Lulu's identity is more convenient, go to the United States tomorrow, and after you land, go to the two museums that preserve the "Emperor and Empress Rite Buddha" to see, and then we will bother Uncle Wang."

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a nuisance.

Because of the time difference between the two places, the day over there is our midnight, and the old people have the habit of getting up early and going to bed early, so we still have to ask the old man for permission to do this first.

Old Man Bai also felt that this method was the safest and most feasible method at the moment.

"The information we have now may be very advanced, or it may be very lagging behind.

According to the content of this note, we can only determine what this so-called 'secret' is after getting the two samples of the "Emperor and Empress Buddha Map" and comparing them with each other.

Go to Xiaofuzi, and if necessary, I will personally visit him. ”

"That's not it, we get along quite well with Uncle Wang. For the time being, we will proceed according to this plan first, and we will adjust it in time if there are changes later. ”

"It's really not good, when the time comes, I'll bring a few bottles of Maozi over, drink it with Uncle Wang, and give the old man a happy drink."

"Did you go drinking with the old man? You're boiling eagles, aren't you? ”

In the small courtyard, which had been silent for a long time, cheerful laughter sounded again.

Early the next morning, Bai Lu booked a ticket to the United States, although she is now a Chinese citizen, but she holds a green card, and it is indeed much more convenient to travel between the two countries than Lin Yi.

The Buddha of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty is now in the collection of the New York City Museum of Art, and the Buddha of Empress Wenzhao is in the Nelson Museum of Art in Kansas City.

The two places are separated by more than 1,000 kilometers, and Bai Lu's trip to go out can really be regarded as a tiring ride.

Lin Yi and the others were not idle.

I found all the information I could find at hand and sifted through them one by one.

The two reliefs were printed to scale and pasted directly on the wall of the living room, and the three of them sat on the sofa as if they were facing each other, looking at the two huge prints.

"I said, let's see, what can it see? I'm not really bragging to you two, I've memorized everyone's looks and characteristics now. ”

"It's useless for you to carry this thing, huh? We're decrypting and not shorthanding, and I don't see anything famous right now anyway. ”

After that, Qian Sheng picked up the eye drops on the coffee table, dropped a few drops on his reddened eyeballs, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

Wang Qiang held a Red Bull jar, leaned on the window to smoke, and poked his head back from time to time to chat with Lin Yi for a few idle words.

Lin Yi was now engrossed in deciphering the content of the pattern, and he didn't care about him at all.

His brain is now running at full capacity, so to speak.

Because this picture is so informative.

This amount of information refers not only to the two reliefs themselves.

Judging from the figure itself, it is not too complicated, it is in the form of relief, depicting the spectacular scene of Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Wenzhao of the Northern Wei Dynasty leading all civil and military officials and entourages to worship the Buddha in a queue.

On the left, Emperor Xiaowen wears a crown and holds a smoker, followed by a group of civil and military officials and attendants wearing cross-collared robes and wide robes with large sleeves; On the right, Empress Wenzhao wears a lotus flower crown and twists incense with her fingers. She was dignified and elegant, and the women and maidens who accompanied her wore loose clothes with flowing clothes. The two Buddhist worship processions face each other from north to south, moving slowly forward.

There are more than 40 figures in the two pictures, each with different shapes.

To say the meaning, it may be that each of them may represent a different meaning.

In addition, this historical period of the Northern Wei Dynasty is very special.

It inherited a relatively stable historical period: the Jin Dynasty, and it belonged to the first minority regime in Chinese history to unify North China.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhist culture was widely expanded and spread.

These also have to be taken into account.

If you go back to the source, the ancestors of the Xianbei people were once considered to be the descendants of nomads like the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, which is a very professional field in terms of ethnicity.

This information is comprehensive, covers a wide range and is highly professional, and now with the brains of the three of them, there is really no way to find any clues from it.

Lin Yi was now eager to plunge into these two paintings, tugging at the collars of the people in the paintings, and asking them what kind of message they wanted to convey.

"Okay, don't fight yourself, let's take a sip and relax."

Lin Yi came over, ordered one, and lay down in front of Wang Qiang.

"Every time we encounter a problem, you can always find an idea, why didn't it work this time? Skyeye is on vacation? ”

"This kind of thing, what is needed is a flash of inspiration, suddenly, hey, come to feel, click through that layer of window paper, there is a talk about this matter, don't I have no inspiration now?"

While chatting, Bai Lu sent a message.

She had already arrived at the New York Museum of Art, and with her connections there, she had obtained an internal permit, which meant that she could get close access to this "Buddha Picture of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty", but after other normal opening hours, and only gave her fifteen minutes to shoot.

Looking up at my watch, there were less than two hours left before the museum closed.

"Pack up your things, bring all the gifts for Old Man Wang, and let's go to Cangzhou right now."

As soon as they heard that there was a situation, Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang immediately came to their senses, dressed neatly, and went straight to the parking lot with the things they had prepared in advance.

On the way, Lin Yi made a phone call to Uncle Wang to explain the situation.

When the old man heard that it was because of this incident, he agreed without hesitation.

The group hurriedly drove to the compound of the Cangzhou Wang's family, and the old man was already waiting for them on the fourth floor.

"You guys, you're really fast enough, come in. To be honest, I have never looked at those two stone sculptures carefully, and I am afraid that I will feel sad when I see them.

That is, if you open your mouth, I will make an exception today. ”

With that, the old man took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket and put them on.

Lin Yi also completed the connection with Bai Lu's side, and wherever her camera went, it could be said that this stone carving was displayed in front of the camera in an all-round way.

Uncle Wang leaned in front of the computer screen and looked very carefully.

didn't let go of any detail, followed Bai Lu's lens, and after passing all the contents of the relief twice, the old man let out a sigh of relief and took off his reading glasses.

"It's the craftsmanship of the 'Wengu Zhai' family, yes, the key parts are 'new', and the corners and corners are filled with old materials."

"Are you sure you're going to restore these key parts of the old age?"

Uncle Wang pondered for a moment.

"I can't say I'm completely sure, but I can try." (End of chapter)
