Chapter 41: Something Familiar
Thank you for the reward of Brother Feilong, the little warrior who reads books, 008 on a black moonlit night, and the brothers at the top of a thousand peaks with drunken eyes......
Micheli blinked, "Can I go and see?" Mr. David. ”
"Well, I don't think you'll be interested in those old antiques from the grave!" David laughed dryly.
Suddenly, this Miss Michelie walked away angrily.
It's just a small episode, and no one cares too much.
Follow David all the way into the marble wall of the porch to a wall. The wall is decorated with a very Roman flavor, with an oil painting on it, wrapped in a thick gilded frame.
Wen Fei glanced at it, and it seemed to be a bare-chested woman holding a child. Probably the so-called Madonna, right?
David said, "Please, everybody!" and the wall slid silently. A hidden passage is revealed. Behind the mirror there is a staircase that leads down to the spacious underground space below.
Although it is a basement, the lighting is bright and warm, and it will not give anyone a scary feeling.
And then there was a heavy door underneath, until here, after David had checked the retina. Only then can people see the true face of Lushan hidden behind the gate. It's a huge museum!
Yes, it can only be described as a museum, and it is a large museum.
Wen Fei also went to see Abel's collection, but Abel's collection is not too much, but it is just a few dozen pieces. He wasn't very interested in ordinary artifacts, but only collected things that had something to do with supernatural powers.
It was filled with bookshelves and tables, all of which were glass cases containing thousands of ancient artifacts from around the world.
Wen Fei even saw a bronze tripod at first sight, which was placed in a less conspicuous place by the owner. But Wen Fei still saw at a glance that this kind of cultural relics would not come from any other country.
However, Wen Fei didn't say much. China doesn't know how many cultural relics come out each year. It is placed in museums large and small around the world. Even in the hands of a private collector like David!
"No wonder Mr. David's collection is so famous, it looks like your treasure has increased a lot!" Abel exclaimed at the right time, making David very proud.
"The last time you saw my collection was five years ago, right?
Then he noticed Wen Fei's gaze. Smiled: "This is a bronze tripod from the Warring States Period. It's not too old. It's only about 2,500 years old, and if it's 3,000 years old, I'll move it to a more prominent position in the middle!"
Wen Fei shrugged and was noncommittal. He has a lot of precious cultural relics from the Yin Shang period. Most of those things were stolen when the Han family's ancestral temple was smashed, and now most of them have entered Zhao Ji's palace. Zhao Ji couldn't put it down, and even gathered a group of gold and stone masters to study for a long time.
Of course, even if it is not in Zhao Ji's hands. Wenda Heavenly Master will never take it out and give it away!
Then Wen Fei let out a "huh" and saw a few familiar things. It was a few stone sculptures resembling monkeys, placed in the corners of the hall, not even packed in glass boxes to keep the air out.
Fierce look. It can also be mistaken for the fact that these stone carvings are the decorations of this room.
"These seem to be Chachapoyas' things?" Wen Fei said.
"Yes, from a dying civilization in South America. David pointed, and Wen Fei saw more things that belonged to the Chachapoyas civilization. There are clay pots, stone knives with obsidian, and even gold masks.
It's just that these things are treated differently, lying quietly in the glass cabinet. Under the right temperature and light. Get the most perfect preservation.
"It turns out that this batch of things has fallen into David's hands!" Wen Fei thought thoughtfully.
He could be sure that these were the handicrafts from Chachapoas, but the evil power above them had vanished, and there was no longer any trace of them.
Sure enough, it's as good as I imagined, it seems that this Mr. David. It also has a powerful mystical power. But what's the matter?
Speaking of which. It seems that Mr. Wen has an indissoluble bond with these antiques!" David smiled, "It seems that he has also entered Trabaran." ”
"Yes," there is nothing to hide from these either. It's like David's room full of antiques, and he can't see anyone: "It's just a pity that Trabaran is also ruined." A great earthquake destroyed the city of the dead. ”
"That's a pity, these things in my hands may be the last vestiges of the Chachapoas civilization!" David's fake sigh.
"The whole world already knows the sad news!" Webb smiled.
"I used to have a very close relationship with the Foundation, and there were a lot of things that the expedition team got in the Foundation at the beginning, and in the end, they were all safely preserved here!"
David then laughed, "I also got into a lot of trouble for this. The hounds who were smuggling at customs even found me. Luckily, my loyal friend Kirker is an even more powerful bulldog and has finally driven the hounds away!"
"Yes, Mr. David used to be one of the biggest sponsors of our foundation!" Abel laughed.
"yes, so for a while I wondered why the Foundation had become so incompetent. If you don't do such a promising thing, you will engage in some kind of religion. David said half-jokingly.
Abel said, "That's because we've found the answer we're looking for!"
David shrugged: "Well, I'm not too interested in that. My interest is in these antiques, the best of every ancient civilization on earth, gathered in such a small basement. How do you feel? Do you feel that the world is in this room?"
Wen Fei said slowly: "I don't feel it, probably in my country, the civilization is too old, so that there are too many cultural relics and antiques!"
David laughed, "That's right. Every major museum in the world has a collection of Chinese cultural relics. And Chinese museums only collect Chinese cultural relics. Isn't it?"
Wen Fei was noncommittal, he could travel back and forth between the Northern Song Dynasty and modern times, and naturally he didn't look at things like cultural relics as much as others.
"Okay," it seemed that the Great Celestial Master Wen was a little impatient. David said: "Actually, today I specifically want to ask Mr. Wen to come and see this thing for me!"
As David spoke, the seemingly unmarked wall slid open, revealing a portal. It seems that this basement is not that simple!
But whatever Mr. David is going to do today, just go and see it.
Unlike the antiques in the hall, which were lit by halogen lamps, in this room were lit by fluorescent lamps.
The first feeling of entering is that I am dazzled, and the second feeling is that I am full of exotic atmosphere. In this room, if you don't know, you will think that you have entered the ancient royal tomb of some American civilization.
The walls are covered with all sorts of quirky drawings of the Americas, as well as all sorts of fine artwork made of gold. The most striking thing is the stone coffin in the room with the statue of the Feathered Serpent.
Webber was obviously seeing these things for the first time, and exclaimed, "Mr. David, you are amazing. Have you moved the entire tomb of a Mayan king to your basement?"
Abel stepped forward and stared at the coffin with some nervousness: "I feel a very strong force of death. ”
"Relax, my friend!" David laughed, "And Weber, you're wrong, it's not a Mayan civilization thing at all!"
Webb shrugged, "In my opinion, it's all the same!" and he asked curiously, "What death power?"
"The power that can resurrect the dead!" Wen Fei said lightly, staring at David to see what tricks this guy was playing.
David laughed, "Actually, everything here, I mean everything in this room is a replica. Every work of art in it, whether it's this coffin or these gold products, is actually a modern product!"
Webb breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were really that good!"
"But the contents of the coffin are not fake!" Wen Fei sneered. Today it depends on what this David is going around and about.
"That's right, yes!" David smiled and said, "But don't worry, Mr. Wen, I have no malicious intent." So, wolf howl in the middle of the night, come out. Come out and meet my guests!"
With a call from David, the coffin shook. The lid of the coffin emitted a screeching sound, which made people's teeth ache.
Webb's face changed suddenly, and he took a few steps back to the door, and exclaimed, "What the hell is going on, Mr. David, it's not interesting at all!"
David made a quiet gesture, and the lid of the coffin had been opened. A very short thing familiar to Wen Fei, with white hair all over his body, walked out slowly.
"How did it appear here, shouldn't all these things have disappeared forever with the earthquake?" Wen Fei wondered in his heart, this thing was nothing else, it was the one that Great Master Wen had seen a lot of white-haired rice dumplings in the valley of the City of the Dead at that time.
"Mr. Wen should know this thing. David laughed.
"Yes, it has been seen in the City of the Dead. It's everywhere, but didn't there be an earthquake later? Why is it still here?" asked Wen Fei.
David smiled: "Although there is an earthquake, the earthquake will not destroy a qiē, there will always be something left." Like those monster snakes, like these zombies?"
