Chapter 364 Another Authentic Work! Beiming Sect Leader Xing Yun [2 More]
The subtle sound was heard only by Ye Wanlan.
Although the King of Chu was not familiar with mechanical arts, Hejia had given him many mechanical locks.
However, there were many people around the sacred tree and it was daytime, so it was not easy for Ye Wanlan to continue exploring.
These villages in southern Xinjiang were also close to the border, with a mixed crowd of people, and often mercenaries on the edge.
She had to protect the things left by Xiang Qingtian.
Ye Wanlan calmly turned the mechanical lock back and took a step.
It was the first time for the villagers to meet outsiders who came to the village to film. They stood in groups of three or two on both sides of the road, watching curiously.
Ye Wanlan was still wearing the simplest clothes and had no makeup on, but still attracted a lot of attention.
"Mom, this sister is so beautiful!" A little girl jumped up, "Will she be taken away by the mountain god?"
Ye Wanlan paused and turned around: "Mountain god?"
"Don't talk nonsense, little kid!" The woman quickly picked up the little girl and apologized to Ye Wanlan, "I told her some mythological stories yesterday, there is no mountain god, don't be afraid, girl."
Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, turned around and thought about it.
Mountain god... Could it be Beiming Mountain?
Does Beiming Sect really have no inheritance left?
She has fought against Xing Yun, the leader of Beiming Sect. Xing Yun is powerful and scheming.
At the age of 18, he became the leader of Beiming Sect. At the age of 22, he killed the high priest in the sect and took over the power of Beiming Sect.
Xing Yun is gifted and brilliant.
The other sects have protected part of their inheritance, so it is impossible for Xing Yun to have no precautions.
But it is true that in the past three hundred years, Beiming magic has hardly appeared again on the Shenzhou continent.
"Legend has it that the King of Chu planted this sacred tree to tell the Beiming Sect, a cult, not to harm the people." The tour guide continued to introduce, "If you have any wishes, you can hang a red rope on it."
Yan Tingfeng's expression slightly turned cold when he heard this.
Although the Beiming Sect is called a cult, it has indeed never done such a thing as harming the people.
It is only because the magic of the believers is more cruel that it is called a "cult".
In the face of justice, every sect is the same.
Yan Tingfeng hid the chill in his eyes and turned his head: "Xiao Wan, don't you want to make a wish?"
"If I have a wish, I never make it, but execute it directly." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "Besides, the king... the tree planted by the king of Chu may not be used for making wishes."
Yan Tingfeng was silent for a moment, and also smiled: "Maybe it's just a sustenance to his hometown."
Historical records show that the last time the king of Chu returned to Fengyuan was when Princess Yongning died.
In the six years since then, he has never returned to Fengyuan.
Now the flight from Fengyuan to Southern Xinjiang is only three and a half hours, but the king of Chu has to travel non-stop for fourteen days and nights.
After a day of filming, everyone in Youlan Village rested early.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Wanlan called Professor Shen and Professor Li and came to the location where she found the mechanism lock in the morning.
Professor Shen was a little surprised: "There are cultural relics in this village?"
Youlan Village has a history of hundreds of years. If there are really cultural relics, why didn't the locals find them?
Ye Wanlan hummed softly: "I accidentally stepped on the mechanism this morning, but there were many people at that time, so I asked the two professors to come and take a look in the evening."
Professor Shen and Professor Li looked at each other, their expressions were also very solemn.
Since Youlan Village was where the King of Chu once lived, the cultural relics buried here must also be related to the King of Chu.
Ye Wanlan squatted down and opened the mechanism lock very skillfully.
To her surprise, there was only a long box in the mechanism lock.
And she recognized this box at a glance.
Because this is the box she used to give Xiang Qingtian the calligraphy.
Three hundred years later, the box still has no signs of decay, just because the box is made of a piece of jade.
Ye Wanlan slowly opened the box, and there was indeed a scroll inside.
The scroll unfolded, and four big characters came into view——
Shenzhou Wanxing
"This is..." Professor Shen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a breath, "The original work of Princess Yongning!"
Princess Yongning's calligraphy is very distinctive, otherwise it would not have been followed by many calligraphers in later generations.
"The calligraphy given by Princess Yongning to the King of Chu?" Professor Li was also shocked, "I just don't know, is this written by Princess Yongning to the King of Chu, or did the King of Chu ask Princess Yongning to write it."
The four words "Shenzhou Wanxing" are too heavy, and the King of Chu has always been a negative character in history. The exposure of this calligraphy is enough to overturn many arguments about the King of Chu. I am afraid that historians will have to reposition the King of Chu himself.
"Two professors, let's go back first. There must be more than this pair of calligraphy in Youlan Village." Ye Wanlan picked up the jade box and reset the mechanism lock. "We need to ask the team of the Cultural Relics Bureau to come and continue the investigation."
Professor Shen and Professor Li nodded solemnly.
Back to the residence, Ye Wanlan thought about it and dialed the phone number of the principal of No. 7 Middle School.
"Principal, I've already thought about what to write for the competition," she said. "I'll finish it in a while and have someone send it to you."
"Don't worry, don't worry." The principal of No. 7 Middle School said hurriedly, "You've been busy lately. You've already won the first place in the physics competition for the school. You don't need to participate in the calligraphy competition."
"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold." Ye Banlan smiled lightly, "What I promised will definitely be completed."
She must also clear the name of King Chu.
**
In the early morning, Youlan Village, the village chief's home.
Several people, including the village chief, gathered in front of the charcoal brazier, not looking very good.
The village chief asked: "You mean, you saw those outsiders digging up antiques, and judging from their mouth movements, it is still Princess Yongning's stuff?"
A middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.
"We have been living here for so long, but we haven't been able to find those antiques. How come we found them as soon as this program team came?" The village chief smoked a dry cigarette and was puzzled.
The ancestors of their village were the people who survived the war that year. The village has a history of hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation until today.
"Since it was found in the village, it belongs to us." A young man sneered, "If they don't leave the things behind, then they will never leave Youlan Village."
The village chief hesitated for a moment: "But after all, they were sent by the Yunjing official, and the people participating in the show are also big stars, so we can't forcefully detain them."
"Uncle, we just want the antiques left by the King of Chu, but we don't want their lives." The young man smiled, "At least we want them to stop coveting the village's property. Why do we call them detained?"
"How can we keep them?" The village chief was upset. "So many cultural relics have been discovered. People from the Cultural Relics Bureau are already on their way. How can we keep the cultural relics?"
Of course he also wanted to keep it, especially the original portrait of Princess Yongning. If he could resell it, he didn't know how much money he could make.
I heard that the Global Center is purchasing cultural relics from China on a large scale. Just an ordinary vase from the Ning Dynasty will cost six figures.
The village chief also couldn’t imagine how high the price the Global Center would charge if it were an authentic work of Princess Yongning, enough to keep him clothed and fed for several lifetimes.
But if he was taken away by researchers from the Cultural Relics Bureau, he would not be able to make a fortune.
"Uncle, of course." The young man smiled mysteriously, "We just need to make them willingly leave these cultural relics behind."
The village chief was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "You mean... Gu?"
The most widely circulated thing in southern Xinjiang is Gu. Gu insects and voodoo techniques do exist, and they are not fictitious.
It's just that over the years, there are fewer and fewer Gu magicians, and more advanced Gu techniques have long been lost.
As a native of southern Xinjiang, the village chief also raised some Gu insects.
It's just that even if these poisonous insects enter the body, they can be cured through modern medical methods. They are not considered poisonous at all, but are considered "parasites" at best.
In the entire Youlan Village, there are only a handful of people who can truly master the art of voodoo.
"My great-grandmother just came back from traveling around this time." The young man's eyes flashed, "Village chief, you also know that my great-grandmother's poison cannot be cured unless she herself, even if the Taiyi miraculous doctor or the Taoist doctor comes. ”
Industry specializing in surgery.
Although Gu magic and Tao magic have gone beyond the scope of ordinary abilities, they do not belong to the same category.
The only person who can master the art of voodoo and Taoism is Xing Yun, the leader of Beiming Sect three hundred years ago.
According to records, Xing Yun also has four great protectors under his command, who are also proficient in the art of Gu.
"Yes, very good." The village chief was a little surprised, "With your help, we can indeed keep those people behind quietly."
The young man laughed again: "Princess Yongning's things are enough for us to sell them at sky-high prices."
"But I just watched the news, and the young watcher from Penglai Watch is also in the program." The middle-aged man who spoke before hesitated again, "If you poison them, the young watcher will find out, right?"
"It's absolutely impossible. She practices Taoism. Those who practice Taoism cannot practice Gu." The young man said flatly, "Do you think everyone is the leader of Beiming?"
People who are proficient in Taoism and Gu magic simply do not exist in China today.
Brother Yan: Oh?
See you tomorrow~~
