Chapter 252 National Treasure!Heavy!
"Please, both of you, this is the Hawkson Chamber of Secrets. There are less than a hundred items in the collection, and each item is a national treasure!"

Wu Tianyuan followed Jack and finally had a chance to enter the legendary second treasure room, and the sight in front of him surprised him.

"Tang Tianlong Temple Tathagata!"

"Statue of Sakyamuni in the Northern Qi Dynasty!"

"Tang gilt seven-story pagoda!"

"Shirley!"

Wu Tianyuan saw several Buddhist treasures at first glance, all of which were looted during the war, and each of them was a national treasure.

"Not only Chinese cultural relics, but Egypt and India have the most here. At that time, they were devastated by war. Only by coming here can they be protected and inherited to the greatest extent!"

David is very proud. As one of the top five museums in the world, the British Museum has the longest history and the richest collections. The other four are all juniors, so they look down on them at all.

"These are the spiritual wealth that belong to the whole human being, and there should be no prejudice across borders, don't you think?"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, and he couldn't refute this point. Although these treasures came from wrong paths, it is undeniable that they are well protected here.Many have also been the best restored, allowing more people to enjoy visiting.

There is no doubt that museums are the final destination of cultural relics!As for the origin of the collection, Wu Tianyuan can't control too much, war is indeed the fastest way.He can only use his own way to let the treasures belonging to the Chinese nation return to his hometown as much as possible.

"Dear Wu, this is the last secret room of the British Museum, Victoria's Secret!"

When several people came to the last small room, Wu Tianyuan was looking forward to it. What would be regarded as the treasure of the British Museum?
"Nine Dragons Sword!"

"Cixi Nine Exquisite Pagoda!"

"Another emerald watermelon!"

"Coral Treasure Tree!"

"Jade Lotus!"

"Eighteen Clam Buddhas!"

Wu Tianyuan immediately saw several treasures in a huge showcase, all of which were buried with Empress Dowager Cixi. In addition to Ye Mingzhu in his hands, there is also an emerald watermelon, the other ten treasures are all here!
Jade lotus, ancient China paid great attention to the fine relationship between power and size.For example, "xi" is a symbol of the emperor, so the homonym of "tourmaline" is exactly "to avoid evil", which means auspiciousness.In fact, tourmaline was once the pillow treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi.Among the funeral objects of Empress Dowager Cixi, there is a lotus flower carved from tourmaline, weighing about 5092 grams, which is a pillow made of watermelon tourmaline.It is said that the market value at that time was 75 taels of silver.

Empress Dowager Cixi especially likes a bright and magnificent large coral tree. This coral tree is covered with a series of small cherry trees in series. The green stems, green leaves and red fruits are delicate and bright.In addition, there is a pair of spotted kingfishers inlaid with pearls and jade standing on a cherry tree. This funeral object is also here.

The so-called "clam Buddha" is said to be miraculous in the folklore. In fact, it is just a "Buddha-shaped bead nucleus" made of shells from Tamsui Hega, which is placed in the Muli body. Surrounded by pearl-shaped nuclei, over time, the pearl covering layer gradually thickens, forming a clam Buddha with pearly luster. However, each clam Buddha is a priceless treasure, and here is a set of [-] statues!

"Lantian Rinuanyu smokes!"

It is rumored that among the treasures buried with Cixi, there is a nine-delicate pagoda carved from white jade, which is known as "smoke and clouds flowing" all over it, and is Cixi's most precious treasure.

Wu Tianyuan studied it carefully. The octagonal thirteen-story tower is divided into three parts: the tower base, the tower body, and the tower brake. The tower base has upper and lower floors. The lower floor is a three-story platform. There are musical instruments such as Shengxiao, Qinse and so on.

There are doors, windows, and plaques on all sides of the tower. Vajra warriors are carved on both sides of the doors and windows. On each floor, 24 niches and 312 Buddhas can be seen clearly from the doors and windows. There are reliefs and figures everywhere.The whole piece is carved from the best Hetian mutton fat jade, which is a rare treasure!
"This is Qianlong's Nine Dragon Sword!"

Nine Dragons Sword, the sword buried with Emperor Qianlong.In Chinese history, the biggest antique player and collector is none other than Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.He reigned for 60 years, and served as the Supreme Emperor for another 4 years. During the 64 years, he collected famous paintings, ancient posts and rare antiques.After death, these rare treasures were buried in the underground palace of Yuling together with him.The most legendary thing is the Nine Dragon Sword placed beside him.

At that time, Sun Dianying believed that he was the last blow to the Manchu Qing after Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of [-] and Feng Yuxiang drove out Puyi, so he did not shy away from talking about the stolen treasures.

After he was drunk, he made a slip of the tongue, Qianlong's tomb was extremely magnificent, and there were countless treasures buried in the coffin, the most precious of which were a string of court beads around Qianlong's neck and a Nine Dragon sword beside him.The sword is 5 feet in total, with a long hilt, and 9 golden dragons are carved on it, symbolizing "Ninety-Nine Returning to One".The scabbard is made of precious shark skin, inlaid with red sapphires and diamonds, which is priceless.

In 1939, in order to quell the tomb robbery incident, Sun Dianying could only hand over the most precious Nine Dragon Sword to Dai Li and asked him to forward it to Lao Jiang.At the time of the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li temporarily put the sword in the custody of his military special agent Ma Hansan.

Unexpectedly, Ma Hansan became greedy for treasure and hid the sword privately. In early 1940, he was captured by the Japanese and sacrificed his sword to save his life.The sword fell into the hands of the Japanese female spy Yoshiko Kawashima again.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yoshiko Kawashima was captured by the military command, and Dai Li went to Beiping No. [-] Prison to interrogate Yoshiko Kawashima.Yoshiko Kawashima in prison revealed a secret that shocked Dai Li: It turned out that Ma Hansan, the head of the Beiping Station of the Military Command, had been arrested and rebelled during the Anti-Japanese War. Take the Kowloon sword that was given during the rebellion.

After Dai Li got the unexpected news from Yoshiko Kawashima, he immediately conducted a further secret investigation on Ma Hansan.After Ma Hansan found out that the matter was exposed, he took the initiative to hand over the sword. He also gave Dai Li a lot of gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the Nine Dragon Sword fell into Dai Li's hands again.

On March 1946, 3, Dai Li took the Nine Dragon Sword from Qingdao to Nanjing to face Jiang.Unexpectedly, due to the bad weather, the plane crashed into Daishan in Jiangning, the plane crashed and people were killed, and the fire burned for several hours.Juntong sent himself to collect the funeral.When the officer intoxicated recovered the Nine Dragon Sword from Jiangning peasants, he claimed that its scabbard and hilt had been burnt to pieces.

So Shen Zui put it and Dai Li's remains in the coffin, and transported them back to Zhigong Hall of Linggu Temple for temporary storage.A few months later, Lao Jiang personally chose a slope with a small pond in front of the west side of the Wuliang Hall to bury Dai Li.Shen Zui personally supervised the construction of the tomb. Because Dai Li had killed many communists and progressives, he was afraid of reprisals, so after placing the coffin, he specially poured cement slag into the tomb for reinforcement.
