Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

"Cangzhou? You mean, let's go find Uncle Wang again?"

"That's right!"

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

"The two reliefs above can basically be concluded to be 'fake' made by the shopkeeper Yue of 'Wen Gu Zhai'. However, for the sake of safety, Lulu's identity is more convenient. I will go to the United States tomorrow and wait for you to land. , go to the two museums that preserve the "Pictures of Emperors and Empresses Paying Respect to Buddha", and then we will bother Uncle Wang after we get there."

To say it's annoying is an understatement.

Because of the time difference between the two places, it is midnight for us during the day there. The elderly have the habit of getting up early and going to bed early, so this matter must be approved by the old man first.

Mr. Bai also feels that this method is the most stable and feasible method at the moment.

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

Judging from the contents of this note, we can only determine what this so-called 'secret' is after getting two samples of the "Emperor and Empress Worshiping the Buddha" and comparing them with each other.

You can go find Xiao Fuzi. If necessary, I will pay him a visit in person. "

"That's not the case. We get along quite well with Uncle Wang. For the time being, we will proceed according to this plan. If there are changes later, we will make adjustments in time."

"If it doesn't work out, I'll take a few bottles of Mao Zi over there and drink them with Uncle Wang to make the old man happy."

"Did you go drinking with the old man? Did you go to have a good time?"

In the small courtyard that had been silent for a long time, cheerful laughter rang out again.

Early the next morning, Bai Lu booked a flight to the United States. Although she was a Chinese citizen, she held a green card and it was indeed much more convenient than Lin Yi and others to travel between the two countries.

"Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Pays Respect to Buddha" is now in the Museum of Art of the City of New York, and "Empress Wenzhao Pays Respect to Buddha" is in the Nelson Museum of Art in Kansas City.

The two places are more than 1000 kilometers apart, so Bai Lu's trip was really a tiring journey.

Lin Yi and the others were not idle either.

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

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

"I said, let's look at it like this. What can we see? I'm really not bragging to you two. I have memorized the appearance and characteristics of everyone here."

"It's useless for you to memorize this thing, isn't it? We are decrypting, not doing shorthand. I can't see any tricks now."

After that, Qian Sheng picked up the eye drops on the coffee table, put a few drops on his red eyeballs, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Wang Qiang held a can of Red Bull and leaned against the window to smoke. From time to time he would poke his head back and chat with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was now concentrating on deciphering the content of the pattern and couldn't care less about talking to him.

It can be said that his mind is working at full capacity now.

Because this picture contains too much information.

This amount of information refers to more than just the two reliefs themselves.

From the graphic point of view, it is not very complicated. It is a relief sculpture depicting the spectacular scene of Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Wen Zhao of the Northern Wei Dynasty leading all civil and military officials and their entourage to line up to worship Buddha.

On the left, Emperor Xiaowen wears a crown and holds a smoker, followed by a group of civil and military officials and waiters wearing cross-collar robes, wide robes and long sleeves; on the right, Queen Wen Zhao wears a lotus wreath and twists incense with her fingers.She was dignified and elegant, and the women and girls accompanying her wore loose clothes with flowing skirts.Two Buddhist worship teams faced each other from north to south and moved forward slowly.

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

As for the meaning, maybe each of them may mean something different.In addition, the historical period of the Northern Wei Dynasty was very special.

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

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhist culture expanded and spread on a large scale.

These contents must also be taken into consideration.

If we trace the origin further, the ancestors of the Xianbei people were once considered to be descendants of nomadic people like the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. From an ethnic perspective, this is another very professional field.

Taken together, this information covers a wide range and is highly professional. Now it is really impossible to find any clues from it just by relying on the minds of the three of them.

Lin Yi now wanted to dive into these two paintings, grab the people in the paintings by their collars, and ask them what kind of message they wanted to convey.

"Okay, stop fighting with yourself, come take a smoke and relax."

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

"Every time we encounter a problem, you always find an idea. Why doesn't it work this time? Is Tianyan on vacation?"

"What this kind of thing requires is a sudden inspiration. Suddenly, hey, I feel it. It clicks through the layer of window paper, and there is something to talk about. Don't I have no inspiration now?"

While they were chatting, a message came from Bai Lu.

She has already arrived at the New York Museum of Art, and relied on her connections there to obtain internal permission. This means that she can have the closest contact with the "Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor Xiaowen's Ceremony of Buddha", but it will have to be done elsewhere. after normal opening hours and only gave her 15 minutes to shoot.

I looked up at my watch and saw that there were less than two hours left before the museum closed.

"Pack your things and bring all the gifts prepared for Mr. Wang. Let's go to Cangzhou right now."

As soon as they heard about the situation, Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang immediately cheered up, dressed neatly, and headed straight to the parking lot with the things they had prepared in advance.

On the way, Lin Yi called Uncle Wang and explained the situation.

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

The group of people drove quickly to the Wang family compound in Cangzhou, where the old man was already waiting for them on the fourth floor.

"You guys are really fast. Come in. To be honest, I have never looked carefully at those two stone carvings, for fear of feeling sad.

That is to say, if you open your mouth, I will make an exception today. "

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

Lin Yi has also completed the connection with Bai Lu. Wherever her camera goes, it can be said that the stone carvings are displayed in front of the camera in all directions.

Uncle Wang leaned in front of the computer screen and looked at it particularly carefully.

No detail was missed. Following Bai Lu's lens, after going through all the relief contents twice, the old man let out a sigh of relief and took off his reading glasses.

"It's a craft inherited from the 'Wen Gu Zhai' family. The key parts are all 'new', and every corner is filled with old materials."

"Then are you sure you can restore these old key parts?"

Uncle Wang thought for a moment.

"I can't say I'm absolutely sure, but I can give it a try." (End of Chapter)
