In fact, neither the genealogy nor these photos were of any use to Cheng Yu, but who forced Cheng Yu to conceal his identity? He could only pretend to be interested in these.
"Old man, can you give me a copy of your family tree? There are also these photos, can I take a copy of them?" Although Cheng Yu wants these for himself, it is useless, but he can give them to Xue Zhenghao. Although Xue Zhenghao wants the crown,
The purpose is actually the secret hidden in the crown, but his father-in-law is a professor who studies Ming history. This is also true. The crown must be given to Xue Zhenghao. These genealogies and photos are regarded as adding to Xue Zhenghao's head.
Well, this is more in line with Cheng Yu's character when he handed over the crown to Xue Zhenghao.
"Do you want to make a copy of these genealogies? This cannot be completed in a day or two!"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This USB flash drive of yours can be plugged into the computer or my mobile phone. If you allow me, I will just use my mobile phone to make a copy of the archive. I also
Just take another photo with your phone."
Ji Manzi obviously didn't particularly understand this series of operations, but he still agreed. Cheng Yu inserted the USB flash drive with Type-C interface into his mobile phone and easily copied the documents inside.
After taking all the photos one by one, he saw that there was a small folded cloth bag in the blue cloth bag, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but cast a curious look at it.
Ji Manzi saw Cheng Yu's thoughts, so he took out the small cloth bag. After unfolding it, Cheng Yu saw that inside was a white jade white jade plaque, about five centimeters long and three centimeters wide.
It is said to be a no-things card, but it is not the same as an ordinary no-things card.
The correct word for Wu Shi Pai should be Wu Decoration, which means no decoration. Most Wu Shi Pai should be two-sided bare boards, but now there are some Wu Shi Pai with simple calligraphy and painting engraved on them.
The upward side of the "Nothing" card in front of him was densely engraved with strange lines. Cheng Yu couldn't figure out the reason after studying it for a long time.
"Can I get started?" Cheng Yu asked.
Ji Manzi motioned to Cheng Yu to be casual, and Cheng Yu picked up the "Nothing" card. As soon as he picked it up, he found something even more peculiar. This "Nothing" card was not a flat rectangle. Although the front was roughly a rectangle, its thickness was different.
It is not uniform. It is not only uneven on the left and right, but also uneven on the top and bottom. Generally speaking, the upper left corner of the textured surface is the thickest and the lower right corner is the thinnest. When placed on the table, it will sway slightly up and down.
Because there is a treasure cover at one end of the Wu Shi card, it is easy to distinguish the upper and lower parts. The treasure cover of the Wu Shi card is usually decorated with patterns, and this one is no exception. But what is strange is that the top cover of the Wu Shi card clearly has
What was withered was a phoenix and a phoenix, but only one side was withered, and it was completely opposite to the weird patterns on the Wu Shi card.
When I put the strange patterns on the Wu Shi card there, I couldn't tell whether they were intentionally carved or the patterns on the jade itself. But when I hold it in my hand, I can clearly see that it was definitely specially carved.
The texture going up.
But why is this pattern exactly the same as the phoenix at the top?
Cheng Yu originally thought that the textured side was the front, but now he was not sure.
Ji Manzi also saw Cheng Yu's doubts and explained quietly: "The side with the phoenix is the front, and the lines on the back are hidden in the phoenix crown."
Cheng Yu was stunned and asked hurriedly: "This jade plaque was originally embedded in the phoenix crown?" Cheng Yu picked up the photo of the phoenix crown again, and then realized that he had just felt something strange about the phoenix crown, and there seemed to be a piece missing on the back.
, turned out to be hollow. Cheng Yu thought it was a specially made blank space at the time. He originally thought that this would not be a braid for the queen. Now he just feels stupid and cried. Who would wear a phoenix crown?
I also need a braid!
Ji Manzi waved his hand and said slowly: "It's not embedded on top, it's just that there is a place for the jade plaque to be embedded in the phoenix crown. This is passed down orally in our clan, and every clan leader will tell his predecessors.
, this jade plaque is not allowed to be embedded in the phoenix crown unless there is a major festival. I am ashamed to say that since I took over as the clan leader, I have never encountered any major celebrations, so this jade plaque has always been in my
Save here."
Cheng Yu suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Jade card!
OMG!
Is the secret here?
No wonder my predecessor stole the crown but failed to decipher the secret hidden in it. The secret was not only kept on the crown, but also included this jade plaque!
As for those seemingly weird lines, Cheng Yu seemed to suddenly understand them.
Map!
Treasure map!
Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang, if you want to leave some money for your mother’s people, you should tell them clearly! Good guy, five hundred years later, your mother’s people have no idea that there is something hidden behind this crown.
With a bunch of other treasures!
Although it has not been confirmed yet, Cheng Yu has figured out everything!
In other words, even if you just get the crown, you won't be able to find it. This map is missing a big piece.
Cheng Yu picked up the photos and found the one directly behind the crown. Sure enough, the gap that seemed to be empty was exactly the shape of the jade plaque. However, the gap around the gap was still full of inlays.
There are no other patterns seen on various types of jewelry.
Recalling what the old man said just now, the side of the phoenix is the front. Doesn't that mean that the side with the map engraved on the jade tablet is on the same plane as the inside of the crown? In other words, the rest of the map,
Is it engraved inside the crown?
Ji Manzi didn't know that Cheng Yu had filled up so much content in his mind at this moment. He continued to introduce: "When I first got this jade medal, I didn't know which one was upright and which one was back. But when I tried to
When I placed the jade plaque on the phoenix crown, I realized that it was easy to distinguish the positive and negative."
Cheng Yu suddenly felt blessed and said: "Because the thickness of this jade plaque is uneven, if it is placed upside down, one side will sink deeply into it and the other side will protrude from the crown. Therefore, it can only be complete when the Phoenix side faces outward."
Put the jade plaque in it."
"Xiao Zhong, you are really smart."
Cheng Yu asked again: "Is the inner side of the back of that phoenix crown also engraved with many patterns like the jade plaque?"
Ji Manzi was slightly stunned, then said: "I didn't pay attention to this, but the inside of the back of Feng Guan does have some bumps, but the inside of the front and sides are very smooth."
Cheng Yu shouted in his heart Bingo! All hits! This is definitely it. This is also simple. It only requires a simple rubbing to trace the lines inside the crown, and then add this jade plaque.
It should be a complete map.
Of course, with the advancement of science in today's era, everything has become simpler, and the steps of rubbing can be omitted. You only need to inlay the jade plaque, and then use a camera to take a picture of the inside, and you will know everything.
I just don’t know what kind of wealth Zhu Youtang, the emperor, will leave to his mother’s people?
This is convenient for Cheng Yu. He doesn't even need to study anything after getting the crown. Instead, he only needs to let the crown pass through his hands. It doesn't take even a minute for Cheng Yu to get it.
The part of the map on the back crown. As for the part of the map on this jade plaque, whether it is Xue Zhenghao or someone else, as long as Cheng Yu and old man Ji Manzi don't tell anyone, I'm afraid no one will ever know.
"Actually, the old patriarch told me one thing about the sacred objects." Ji Manzi was still describing slowly.
Cheng Yu used his mobile phone to take a picture of the image on the jade plaque. After confirming that it was clear, he looked at the old man and said, "What's the matter?"
"The old patriarch said that there are a batch of kiln treasures hidden in the holy objects. When the Queen appears one day, our tribe will be able to get those kiln treasures... But I don't believe this. How can there be any manifestations? I have to say that this is a manifestation.
The phoenix crown disappeared mysteriously. Besides, if there really was something hidden in the kiln, how could no one have discovered it for hundreds of years?" The old man couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he talked about this.
Cheng Yu suddenly understood.
The kiln collection most likely refers to a batch of porcelain.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty was an extremely important period in the history of Chinese porcelain. Needless to say, Yongle, Zhu Di, Xuande, and Zhu Zhanji, who is Zhu Youtang’s father? Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen’s reign name was Chenghua. Chenghua Dou
The colorful chicken vat cup was sold for a sky-high price of HK$280 million at the Sotheby's auction in 2014!
During the years when Zhu Youtang was in power, although there were no particularly outstanding famous porcelains, his father's doucai chicken jar cup was the wine cup used by the emperor in the palace. Could Zhu Youtang get a few sets together?
Buried?
Although this colorful chicken cup would not be that valuable if eight out of ten came out at once, but just one of them would have to be priced at 100 million, right?
If this is the case, the value of these kiln collections is a bit scary!
Cheng Yu almost jumped with excitement. If this was the case, how many points would he get after completing the task?
One hundred million means ten thousand points, and one billion means one hundred thousand points. Even if there is no three times the double reward, a batch of kiln treasures, then why is it not worth three to five billion points? Three to five million points, Cheng
Yu is so impressive. Do you think a hundred years of life is still okay?
Calm down and don't get carried away - Cheng Yu quickly warned himself.
After calming down, Cheng Yu thought again, this kiln has been hidden for five hundred years. Mountains and rivers have changed. It is unclear whether the map can find the exact location. Moreover, it has been insecure for such a long time.
It has been dug out. Even if it has not been dug out, it is hard to say how many intact pieces are left.
All in all, don’t think so beautifully. The God Digging System has never done such a loss-making business. It is absolutely impossible to directly kill a hundred years of life in one mission!
At this time, Cheng Yu finally calmed down.
Cheng Yu looked at the old man and said seriously: "It may not be true, but maybe the old patriarch believed too much in the manifestations of the gods and did not search too hard for the secret hidden in the phoenix crown. After all, it is the sacred object of your clan.
, I think for hundreds of years, no one has dared to play with it and study it."
Ji Manzi smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, but it's too late to say this now. The phoenix crown was stolen twelve years ago, even if the Vietnamese auction you mentioned is the sacred object of our clan.
, we don’t have the ability to get it back. You just asked about the pattern of the phoenix crown, do you have any ideas?"
Cheng Yu nodded, not intending to deceive the old man. He said: "Yes, although you didn't tell me about the kiln at that time, when I looked at the lines, I always felt that they looked like mountains and rivers. You also told me that there were engraved patterns on them.
The side with the patterns is the back. The emperor at that time was the one who originally made this phoenix crown. If these patterns were natural, how could he use such a piece of jade? This is equivalent to an immortality tablet set up for his mother! So I
I doubted whether there was an article on the phoenix crown, and your words and what you told me about the kiln collection basically confirmed my guess."
