Chapter 906 Dunhuang Cultural Treasure
Li Mo looked at his own make-up effect in the mirror, a bit dumbfounded.

"Mr. Li, why don't we try another makeup effect?"

Landmine asked without confidence.

"Forget it, let's keep the original appearance, I will stick two band-aids on my forehead. Just rest in the hotel and I will act alone."

Da Shan stood up from the sofa and said, "Mr. Li, why don't we go out at night?"

"It's okay, this hotel is run by the Cavaliers."

Li Mo washed off the makeup on his face, and then walked out of the room in a big way. A young waiter who was doing room cleaning outside saw Li Mo, bowed respectfully and saluted, and said in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Li, please come here." .”

"Have you ever studied in Huaxia? You can speak Mandarin better than me."

"No, I have been trained in Chinese culture since I was a child." The waiter had a faint smile on his face, "I taught Miss Juliet's Chinese?"

"Are you her sister?"

"No, I am Miss Juliet's servant."

Li Mo turned to look at her, her expression was very calm, she didn't seem to feel inferior because of her status as a servant.Maybe she has been trained by the ancient aristocratic system since she was a child. As for why she has to study Chinese culture seriously, maybe she will understand when she meets Juliet's grandfather.

The two walked from the underground garage, and the car that picked him up was a bulletproof Cadillac, and there were two cars accompanying him when they drove out of the garage.

Li Mo silently watched the daytime scenery of Paris through the car window, and said with regret after a long time: "I wanted to spend some time visiting the antique market in Paris."

"Mr. Li is a treasure hunter in China, an expert in treasure appraisal. You used to be able to search for Taobao, but with your current reputation, you will become the focus of attention as soon as you show up. I'm afraid you have no chance."

This woman's name is Alice, and she drives relatively smoothly. It looks like she has been trained.

"You can guard against me, but you can't guard against others."

Alice stopped talking, this Taobao is a technical job, you can organize a group to Taobao.

The car went all the way to the outskirts of Paris, and got off the expressway not far out of the city. Not far away, there was a magnificent castle near the lake. Just by looking at its appearance, it had the air of a royal aristocrat.

From a distance, I saw a dozen tall and mighty security guards pushing open the heavy classical bronze door. When the car drove in, I saw Juliet standing at the door in full dress. She was supporting a white-haired old man in his 70s. He was still wearing a tuxedo embroidered with gold silk texture, holding a cane in his hand, surrounded by men and women in servant clothes, standing respectfully behind them.

As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler opened the door for him.After Li Mo got out of the car and thanked him, the man was obviously taken aback.

"Mr. Li, you are welcome to be our guest."

Juliet greeted him with a smile, then pointed to the old man and said, "This is my grandfather, you can call him Philip 25."

Philip 25?

Was this old man's ancestor once the emperor of the French Empire?
"Hello Mr. Philip, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Li came from afar, our castle is full of splendor, please."

Philip the 25th actually spoke authentic Chinese, with round accents, no rush, and a noble demeanor in every gesture.

"Mr. Li, my grandfather is an authentic Huaxia Tong. He has been studying in Huaxia since he was a child."

"From this point of view, our communication today will be very pleasant."

Li Mo thought that this would be very convenient. Walking into the living room of the castle, the interior decoration was very luxurious, with a feeling of resplendent and magnificent, and the carpets laid on the floor were extremely expensive.

He subconsciously opened his different pupils to look around, let me go, the murals on the wall, the carpet on the floor, the lamps hanging from the ceiling, the classical decorations, and even the furniture placed there are all over a hundred years old.

This is just the lobby.

"Please, Mr. Li."

Juliet led him into the living room. Someone was already grinding coffee beans by hand, and another was making coffee. The aroma of the coffee was very strong.

"Mr. Philip, you invited me to be a guest so openly, are you not afraid of being remembered by the authorities?"

"What is official is that there is a relative official statement because of the existence of civil organizations like us. But no matter which force it is, the one who has the final say depends on who controls the economic order. As long as you are still living in the economic order Then I can control whose fate. Obviously, the official group of people also need to live, so they have no right to speak."

It was the first time for Li Mo to hear such remarks, and he felt very reasonable.Economic order is closely related to people's livelihood. If the economy is unstable and people's livelihood is not stable, the only consequence is social unrest and frequent turnover of official personnel.

"Of course, Mr. Li and I have jumped out of the economic order, so we will become friends."

Li Mo smiled, what the old man said was quite reasonable, but it was still a bit exaggerated.But he is not an expert in economics, so talking to him about the economic order, I have no way to start.

"Grandpa, our conversation is off topic, are we talking about business?"

Juliet reminded.

"Haha, what you said is right, let's get down to business." Old man Philip motioned to the butler, who put the document in his hand on the table in front of Li Mo lightly, "Mr. Li, the treasure under the Old Palace of the Pope's Palace in Avignon has been released." It was confirmed as the treasure of the Knights Templar. Although a hellish natural disaster occurred in Gallon City, it did not affect the archaeological entry into the city. All the treasures have been unearthed, and the number has been counted."

This document is a list. Li Mo flipped through it for a while, and there were more than 4 antiques in total.Of course, the boxes of gold coins, silver coins and jewelry accounted for the bulk.

At the end of the page, there was the old man Philip's list of exchanging antiques. Li Mo looked at those lists in a daze.

"Mr. Philip, these are cultural treasures that have been lost from our country's Dunhuang. Why do you have so many in your hands?"

"It should be the list provided by our knight organization and the judgment organization. You have opened more than a dozen museums in China, and the treasures inside are all-encompassing, so I think this time I should exchange some more meaningful treasures for you. I hope Mr. Li like."

More than liking, this was a great surprise for him.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is a Buddhist grotto, a world cultural heritage, located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor.Its excavation lasted about 1000 years from the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Yuan Dynasty, which is unique in the Huaxia Grottoes.

It is not only a brilliant art treasure house of ancient Chinese civilization, but also an important witness of the dialogue and exchanges between different civilizations that took place on the ancient Silk Road.

What is heartbreaking is that at the beginning of the last century, Stein from Eagle Country only used 200 taels of silver in exchange for 24 boxes of manuscripts and 5 boxes of other artworks.Later, Pelliot, a French archaeologist who was proficient in Sinology, rushed from Dihua to Dunhuang immediately after learning that ancient manuscripts had been found in the Mogao Grottoes.He selected in the cave for three weeks, and at the cost of 600 taels of silver, he finally obtained more than 1 pieces of Dunhuang documents that can be called the essence, and most of them were later stored in the National Library of Falun Gong.

In the end, Stein came to Mogao Grottoes again and bought 500 Dunhuang documents from Wang Yuanlu for 570 taels of silver.Today, about 1.4 Dunhuang treasures are collected in the Eagle Kingdom Museum. From this point of view, the knight organization and the ruling organization are indeed very powerful, and they can actually exchange all the Dunhuang treasures.

"Mr. Li, I like Chinese culture very much. It is a great civilization that has never disappeared or been broken in this world. It's just that we are not good at researching and maintaining collections. I don't want the splendid and great human cultural heritage. They are slowly disappearing, so this time I took out a total of 1.6 pieces of Dunhuang cultural treasures and exchanged them for you."

Li Mo began to have a new understanding of the old man.
