Jianbao life

Chapter 989

Seeing Chu Chen's surprised expression, Zuo Shan asked him what was going on. After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, he realized that these gold and silver ingots are called gold and silver collars, which are rare antiques, and their value cannot be compared with the price of gold and silver in the market. to calculate.

Zuo Shan was amazed by this, and felt that this was normal, otherwise the two of them would come all the way to Xiazhou, but only brought back a few ordinary gold and silver ingots, and he felt that it was a waste of Chu Chen's time.

Zuo Shan said earlier that it is very likely to rain today, so the two hurriedly packed up their luggage, put the gold and silver collars in their backpacks and put them away, and because the box was severely corroded, Chu Chen threw it away. Into the pit, and then they rushed away.

However, Chu Chen may not have expected that the big pit they didn't bury because of saving trouble was discovered by the nearby villagers a few months later, and because of the box thrown in the pit, the villagers who found it thought someone dug it here. Out of the treasure.

The villager has a straightforward personality and can't hide the matter in his heart, so he publicized the matter after returning.So it spread to ten, ten to hundreds, many people knew the news of the treasure, and came to hunt for the treasure one after another, and the news of the treasure was flying all over the sky.

Some people just dig in a random place nearby, and the result is that the surrounding mountains are full of potholes, which is terrible.It wasn't until the government took control of the matter that things slowly calmed down.

Fortunately, Chu Chen had already found and taken away the real treasure at that time, otherwise it was really possible that others would have taken it first.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

Chu Chen didn't know that this incident would lead to such consequences later, he and Zuo Shan went out of the mountain, went directly to the roadside to stop the car, and returned to the hotel they had booked before.

After changing his clothes and going out to enjoy a meal, Chu Chen took Zuo Shan back to the room, and then took out the pair of landscape figure bottles and the pen holder.

Seeing these three things, Zuo Shan said in amazement: "Hey, Young Master Chu, how come the scenery above is similar to the one on the treasure map?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the patterns on these three things are likely to be clues to the real treasure."

"What? You mean, what we discovered just now is actually not a real treasure?"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Zuo Shan was extremely surprised. Those gold and silver collars are already very precious, so what kind of treasure is the real treasure?
"From the information I got, it should be like this, but as for whether it is, I can't be sure."

Chu Chen shook his head, and then told Zuo Shan about the information about the treasure. Of course, in order to protect the secret that he had supernatural powers, he made some modifications to the information.

But even so, Zuo Shan was still dumbfounded. It wasn't because he felt that the process by which Chu Chen obtained the treasure map was a bit miraculous, but because the final treasure was actually such a treasure as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

"Young Master Chu, is it really Chuan Guo Yuxi?" Zuo Shan asked with a trembling voice.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Zhang Huoni did say that it was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but whether it was fabricated by him or not can only be confirmed after finding the treasure."

Regarding Zuo Shan's reaction, Chu Chen felt that it was normal. After all, to the people of the country, the Jade Seal was not only priceless, but also a national symbol.Just thinking about the rediscovery of Chuan Guo Yuxi, who had been missing for many years, made him feel excited.

Zuo Shan quickly regained his composure. He smacked his lips and said, "Thinking about it, I think it's impossible. Don't worry about it, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Yes!" Chu Chen sighed slightly, and said, "Anyway, we should try our best to find it now, otherwise I will feel regretful even if I die."

Zuo Shan repeatedly nodded in agreement.

For the next three days, apart from eating, sleeping and exercising in the morning, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan stayed in the room and racked their brains trying to find relevant clues from the three things.

But there is an old saying that good things never come. It is likely that, just like what Chu Chen thought before, they still lack important clues. Therefore, after three days, there are quite a few places to guess, but they are not sure at all.

Some friends may say, if this is the case, why don’t we just dig all those places?It's not impossible to do this, but let's not talk about how much work it takes. The key point is that Chu Chen feels that the possibility of these locations is too small, and the possibility of finding the treasure is very slim.

So, on the morning of the fourth day, Chu Chen said to Zuo Shan, who had already lost many brain cells, that he should go out and relax today, maybe he would suddenly have inspiration during the period.

To be honest, as a former soldier king, although his brain needs to be flexible, Zuo Shan still feels that he is better at physical labor in comparison. Therefore, after finding the clues in the past three days, he has already started to have a headache. After hearing Chu Chen's proposal, he hastily agreed.

So, the two took the elevator together, ready to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

As soon as the elevator went down one floor, the elevator door opened, and an old man and a middle-aged man in his early forties walked in from the outside.

As soon as the two sides met, both Chu Chen and the old man were taken aback for a moment, because the old man was none other than the old man Qiao Qingtai who met in Jinling last time.

"Hi Joe!"

Chu Chen hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

Qiao Qingtai responded and asked in surprise, "Hey, Xiao Chu, when did you come to Xiazhou?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "It's been a few days, when did you come here?"

"It arrived yesterday afternoon."

Qiao Qingtai went on to say: "Xiao Chu, there is something wrong with you, since you are in Xiazhou, why don't you know to call me!"

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile: "I was going to visit you in Jiangcheng when I was going back, but I didn't expect you to come to Xiazhou too."

At this time, the elevator reached the floor where the restaurant was located, and Qiao Qingtai and the others also went to have breakfast, so the two of them walked out together.

Everyone ordered some food that suits their own tastes, and then, just as Qiao Qingtai was about to say something, the middle-aged man said first: "Old Qiao, can you introduce it to us first?"

"Look at me, forget about it." Qiao Qingtai laughed, and then introduced the two parties. It turned out that the middle-aged man was the son of a friend of his, named Han Yusong, and he was also an expert in the antique industry. People, and also acted as a director of the local antique association.

Chu Chen greeted him politely, and when Han Yusong heard that the young man in front of him was Chu Chen, he was quite happy and looked up to him for a long time, saying that he had wanted to know Chu Chen for a long time, but he had never had the corresponding opportunity. To do what the landlord should do.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Xiao Chu, have you finished your business?"

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't answer truthfully, so he said, "It's almost done, do you always have something I want to do?"

Qiao Qingtai nodded and said, "Don't tell me, I do have something to trouble you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Chen asked.

"There are too many people here, let's talk about it later." Qiao Qingtai said in a low voice.

"Row……"

Everyone chatted about antiques, finished breakfast, and then went to Qiao Qingtai's room together.

After inviting everyone to take their seats, Qiao Qingtai sighed and said, "Xiao Chu, I'm here for a national treasure that has been handed down to the market."

Although Qiao Qingtai only said this short sentence, Chu Chen immediately understood what was going on.

The Three Gorges and its surrounding areas have always been the area where the north and south cultures collided and merged for a long time in the history of our country. Coffins, plank roads, savages, etc.

It is these unsolved eternal mysteries that have inspired many archaeological experts and scholars to explore.With all the mud and sand, the following cultural relic dealers and lawbreakers greedily set their sights on this treasure land, and stretched out their black hands to many national treasures and cultural relics buried under this land.

In other words, there are countless ruins and cemeteries on this land, ranging from the Old Neolithic Age to the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties.These sites and cemeteries all house ancient artworks of great cultural value.

However, these cultural relics, which condense the splendid ancient civilization of China for 5000 years, will be deeply submerged under the flood with the construction of the reservoir area. on this land.

Although this situation has played a role in promoting the protection of cultural relics in this land, it also allows some criminals to smuggle some cultural relics abroad because of their interests, including some national treasure-level cultural relics.

The most famous one is that at the end of the 90s of last century, at a cultural festival held in the United States, someone sold an exquisite Han Dynasty bronze Liliu money tree to a billionaire for 250 million US dollars. At that time, it was the most expensive Chinese cultural relic in history.

The appearance of this cash cow has made historians and cultural relics workers all over the world sigh.

Some scholars wrote this in her published article: The head of this money tree of the Han Dynasty is studded with immortals, cicadas and other immortal things that symbolize regeneration. It is surrounded by flower-shaped patterns, which may symbolize the sun, or may be related to the pattern of the tail screen of the peacock (phoenix) radiating around.

It is concise and clear in expressing beauty and joy. There are two interlaced giant dragons sitting at the bottom of the tree, and a beautiful peacock (phoenix) lookout on the top of the tree.The beauty of this work of art lies in its integrity and the beauty it presents. It is indeed a national treasure of China.

The appearance of this cash cow caused an uproar in the domestic cultural relics circle at that time. Where did the national treasure come from?How did you wander abroad?When is its return date?
And when the investigators were looking for relevant clues, there was another shocking news. It was said that three more gold-plated money trees were also unearthed in this land abroad.

Thinking of all this, Chu Chen was quite angry, but deeply helpless. After all, he only had one person. Even if he wanted to take care of such things, how many things could he take care of?Of course, if something happens to him, he will definitely do his best to prevent the national treasure from being lost.

　Thank you for the reward of "Slaying the Eight-Fairy Demon with the Sword"!
