Chapter 519: Chuan Guoxie

By the time we got back to Upper Manhattan, it was past one o'clock at night.

As early as when buying office space for KY Investment Fund, Yang Jing bought an apartment at the same time. This is a high-end apartment with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. The price at that time was 8.9 million US dollars.

Although investing in real estate in the United States at this time is not as suitable as investing in three years later, since KY Investment Fund is going to stand out, as the owner of KY Investment Fund, Yang Jing also needs to have a high-end apartment in Manhattan, so at the beginning of the year Just bought such an apartment.

If such an apartment is left in thirty years, it will be impossible to buy it without fifteen million dollars. Although the rate of rise in housing prices in the United States is far behind the rate of depreciation of the dollar, this kind of high-end apartment in Manhattan is a scarce resource after 30 years. In many cases, you may not be able to buy such a good location if you have money. apartment.

After returning to the apartment, Yang Jing took a shower, and then took out the other half of the Luban box found in the treasure of the last tsar from the space.

I don't know if I don't put them together, but when I put these two halves of the Luban box together, I can immediately see that this is definitely a set.

However, compared to the half of the Luban box found in the treasures of the last tsar, the half of the Luban box preserved by the Mellon family is better in appearance. Presumably, this half of the Luban box has not been under-care by the Mellon family over the years.

At the auction, people from the Mellon family also said that this Luban box is made of silver doped with other metals, which is different from the Luban boxes commonly used in Chinese history. In China, most of the Luban boxes made by the ancients are made of hardwood.

It may be mixed with a lot of other metals, and after so many years of oxidation, so these two boxes are now completely without the silvery white of silver, gray and unremarkable.

But Yang Jing was extremely excited at this time. The two half boxes cost him more than 100 million US dollars in total. It can be said that they are the most valuable items in all Yang Jing's current collections. But if it really contains clues about that treasure, it's really worth it.

The two Luban boxes are about the same size and shape. However, Yang Jing used his perspective skills to look at the two boxes, and knew that although the two boxes were not much different on the outside, they were quite different inside.

The half of the Luban box found in the treasures of the last tsar is densely packed with organs, and the only protrusion is the key to making these organs work.

As for the half of the Luban box taken from the Mellon family, there are things hidden inside, but this box is not opened by means of a mechanism, but by a "key". In the past, the Mellon family did not open this box for a long time, because the most critical "key" was missing. But now, that "key" is in Yang Jing's hands.

Yang Jing aligned the two halves of the Luban box, activated the perspective skill, and then aligned the protrusion of the left-hand box with the depression on the right-hand box, slowly but firmly pushed in, and the two halves The Luban box fit together seamlessly.

Under the observation of perspective skills, Yang Jing saw that after the small protrusion was inserted into the depression, he did not know where it touched, and then the half of the Luban box immediately made a slight "click" sound. The mechanism began to operate rapidly, and the metal bars were raised, dropped or rotated one by one. Anyway, with the movement of the mechanism in this half of the box, the protrusion that was originally only less than one centimeter long began to extend miraculously. .

And as the bulge continued to extend inward, some organs in the depression were also touched one after another, and the organs in the other half of the Luban box also began to move one after another.

In the end, with a crisp "click", the two boxes were seamlessly joined together, but the box was still not opened.

Yang Jing pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand and twisted it. As a result, with a "snap", the top cover of the half of the box containing the silk silk popped up to one side, revealing the silk silk inside.

Yang Jing suddenly remembered that this box was probably a very well-sealed thing, and the silk inside hadn't been in contact with the air outside for a long time, so Yang Jing stretched out his hand almost subconsciously, and lifted the ball of silk. The silk was put into the storage space.

Sure enough, not long after the silk was put in, the metal inside the box exposed to the air began to change color very quickly.

Yang Jing was startled, and then let out a long breath and muttered in a low voice: "It's fortunate that my hands are fast, otherwise this ball of silk would be hanging!"

Sink the consciousness into the storage space. Fortunately, the ball of silk has not changed at all in the storage space without any air.

Gently opened the ball of silk with consciousness, and what was revealed inside immediately made Yang Jing ecstatic.

This is a painting, more precisely, it should be a map.

The most conspicuous thing on the map is the eight characters - "Ordered by the sky, life will last forever".

The appearance of these eight words made Yang Jing completely relieved, at least the 100 million US dollars was not wasted. As expected, this map is, as I imagined, a map involving the legendary Chuan Guoxie, or a clue related to the Chuan Guoxie that has been lost for more than a thousand years.

There is no doubt about the status of Chuan Guo Yuxi in China, no matter from which aspect, Chuan Guoxi is a well-deserved number one. Since the first emperor, this Fang Yuxi has been recognized by the Chinese people as a symbol of virtue to the world, otherwise this Fang Yuxi would not be called the "Jade Seal of Chuanguo".

Just from the name alone, it is enough to see the preciousness and importance of this Fang Yuxi.

It's a pity that the Chuan Guoxi disappeared without a trace after Li Congke, the last emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, set himself on fire. No matter how the emperors of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties later mobilized people all over the world to look for this jade seal, unfortunately they never found it.

Known as the most authentic Ming Dynasty in the history of China, its founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had three major regrets in his life, the first being that he could not find the Chuan Guoxie in his life. It can be seen how high the status of Chuan Guoxi is in the eyes of the descendants of Yan and Huang!

Of course, there are countless rumors about Chuan Guoxie, but they are all false. But the real Chuan Guoxi has never appeared since Li Congke, which is true!

When Yang Jing got the treasure of the last tsar from Siberia before, he found this strange half Luban box, but he didn't think about passing on the national seal at that time. There are more treasures, all of which were snatched by the gang of robbers.

Back then, Russia was part of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and the polar bears did a lot of misfortune to Yanjing, and they also robbed China's treasures.

So when Yang Jing discovered this strange half Luban box, he really didn't think about Chuan Guoxi.

Even when he saw the other half of the Luban box at the Mellon Manor today, Yang Jing thought it was just a complete set of Luban boxes. Even if he found something hidden in the box at first, he did not pass it on to the Imperial Seal. aspect considerations.

It wasn't until Harper Lawrence made a malicious bid that Yang Jing used his perspective skills to observe the ball of silk again, and vaguely saw the word "Shou", and then suddenly remembered Chuan Guoxi.

Sure enough, throwing 100 million at that time was not wasted. This picture is indeed a picture with clues about Chuan Guoxi.

The silk is not big, about the size of a piece of sixteen-motif paper. On the top of this piece of silk, there are eight cursive scripts that read "Ordered by Heaven. Longevity and Prosperity".

Then under these eight characters, there is an arrow pointing directly to a place in the picture called "Yuecheng Temple". Obviously, this Yuecheng Temple should be the old den of the Taoist priest named Yuechengzi.

If it weren't for the three words Yuecheng Guan, Yang Jing would not be able to confirm that Yuechengzi was a Taoist priest, but now it seems that this Yuechengzi is very likely to be a Taoist priest.

The Tang Dynasty respected Taoism as the state religion, and the Later Tang Dynasty was established in the name of the successor of the Tang Dynasty, so it naturally respected Taoism, and historical rumors also said that the late Emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty was extremely Taoist.

I just don't know the relationship between this Yuechengzi and Li Congke, the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty.

Except for the eight characters and the view of Yuecheng and the view of Yuecheng, the rest of the painting is just a piece of landscape.

Although this picture is painted on silk, it is extremely delicate, and it can be seen that this Yue Chengzi's painting skills are still extremely superb.

Below the painting is a mountain peak, these peaks are very strange, Yang Jing counted carefully, there are sixteen peaks in total, and judging from the positions of these peaks, it is obvious that they are not far from the Yuecheng Temple.

The Yuecheng Temple is located at the foot of the mountain on the north side of this mountain. It is a Taoist temple that doesn't look very big, and in front of the Taoist temple is a raging river, crossing the mountains and disappearing into the distance.

This painting is very simple, just a few words, a mountain peak, a Taoist temple and a big river, and nothing else. Although there are many trees on the mountain in the painting, it is probably useless.

The most important thing is this Taoist temple!

Yang Jing even wondered if the Chuan Guoxi, which had been missing for thousands of years, was hidden in this Taoist temple? After all, Li Congke, the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, threw himself into the fire while holding the Chuan Guoxie. This is a well-known thing, but fire can burn people to death, but it cannot destroy the Chuanguo Seal.

It is very likely that Chuan Guoxi was found by someone after putting out the fire, and then hid it. And the person who found Chuan Guoxi is most likely this Yuechengzi.

Otherwise, why did this Yuechengzi spend so much effort to make this Luban box? Why hide such a ball of silk in the Luban box? Why do you write the eight big characters "Ordered by the sky, you will live forever" on the silk?

I'm not sure about other things, but I can definitely be sure that this Yuechengzi should have had direct contact with Chuan Guoxi!

I just don't know where the Yuecheng Temple in the picture is located.
