Chapter 204 The Burning Flame
In the dark night, Xiaohua's figure shuttled back and forth in every corner of the Louvre. Wherever she went, the guards who were patrolling the night were as if they were intoxicated and immersed in the illusion created by Xiaohua.
After following Lu Xuan, this crocodile spirit has also made a lot of progress. Now he can use some simple illusions as he pleases. It is easy to deal with ordinary people.
Lu Xuan and the other two walked into the Louvre in a swagger. Under the technique of the Honggu Moon Gate, no lock is meaningless. There is no surveillance on their heads. For them, this era is simply a perfect era.
Later generations once praised the three most artistic treasures in the Louvre, namely the statue of Venus, Mona Lisa, and the statue of the goddess of victory.
To be honest, although Lu Xuan doesn't understand art, he has been in a high position for many years and has an appreciation ability. These three things are indeed of high level. Unfortunately, he can't get back the other two except Mona Lisa. He can't carry two statues back, there is no place to put them.
"Ah..." These sages are so shameless. They actually carved women without clothes.
"If you think it's not good, you'll just smash it. Within two hours, everything here belongs to us. Pick those things that are easy to take. If the rest can be destroyed, it will be ruined."
"Master, the things here must be of great value. Why do you have to destroy them?" The old foreigner felt a little distressed when he saw it. Although he didn't understand Western art, he also knew that these things should be priceless.
"Because we can't take it away." Lu Xuan's cold words blocked the old foreigner.
Partridge Whistle was older and knew Lu Xuan’s mood. He said to the old foreigner.
"Come with me," he said, and walked towards the depths of the Louvre.
Soon the old foreigner was stunned by everything in front of him.
He wandered around the world freely, and later followed Partridge Whistle. He had never studied much and did not know much about history. When he first saw everything in front of him, he was a little shocked.
All the things they see are national treasures that they never dared to think of before. Look at the porcelain, jade, gold and silver, calligraphy and painting, and screens. Even though he was from a mid-mountain lineage, most of them could not even be named. If one of these things was obtained during the fight, they could eat them for a lifetime. But now there are hundreds of them in front of him.
"This...why do these foreigners have so many of our things here?"
"It was them who snatched it. About seventy or eighty years ago, foreigners captured the capital. All the collections of the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years were plundered. The Yuan Yuanmingyuan in the capital was burned by them. Hundreds of thousands of treasures were plundered by those foreigners. The fire was never extinguished for three days and three nights. The Chinese dynasty has fallen to this point. Do you think your master really likes these foreigners. He has been holding his breath."
"Then we have to get these things back..."
"How to do it? There are only five of us. We pick up what is easy to take. Let's do the rest. As for those foreigners, burn them if they can, and smash them if they can. Be careful, Master is in a bad mood today."
Lu Xuan held Hong Gu and stood in front of the portrait of Mona Lisa. Hong Gu looked at the painting in front of him.
"This is a good painting. It looks quite comfortable."
"Is that so? Then take it back and hang it on the head of the bed, you'll look at it every day."
"No, I don't like someone looking at me at the head of the bed."
"Then make a special room and put everything you like on it, and watch it whenever you want."
"Okay. Hua Ling, remember to bring this painting with you. This lotus is also quite beautiful."
Lu Xuan glanced at it and it looked like it was Monet's water lily. However, Monet had painted too many water lily in his life, so I don't know which one it was.
"Cover."
"Okay." Hua Ling stepped forward quickly, cut off the painting directly, and then put it into a paper tube.
The two walked along the way, picking up gadgets, the Virgin in the garden, and other iconic paintings of the Louvre, were taken into their pockets one by one. But soon, the five people were covered with various paintings and small objects.
At this time, the Louvre was already in a mess. Countless statues, torn paintings, and various ancient Egyptian cultural relics were taken away. Those that could not be taken away were all smashed into pieces by Partridge Whistle and others with hammers.
But these things are less than one percent in the Louvre. However, time is coming. The shift change staff will arrive soon. Xiaohua can't hypnotize everyone again.
"It seems like this is the only way today. Partridge Whistle, let's do it."
"Yes, Master." Partridge Whistle threw a fire note with his right hand. Before, he had already sprinkled tinder oil in many places around him. At this time, when he encountered Mars, the fire burned instantly.
Looking at the increasingly fierce flames in front of him, Lu Xuan showed a strange smile on his face.
The five people walked out of the Louvre with big bags and small bags openly, got into two carriages, and then left slowly. Soon, someone outside noticed the flames inside the Louvre. At the same time, some hypnotized guards also woke up. Looking at the fire in front of them, their faces turned pale.
A shrill alarm sounded throughout Paris. Countless fire extinguishers rushed towards the Louvre like crazy. But it was too late. The turbulent oil specially equipped by Partridge Whistle could not be extinguished so easily. The key is that they had been wasting too much time. When people outside noticed it, the fire was actually unstoppable.
It is said that the contemporary owner of the Louvre, when he saw the fire in front of him, fainted on the spot. Several other staff rushed in desperate attempt to rescue the precious cultural relics. But they did not rescue anything. The most conspicuous and easiest hands had long been destroyed by Lu Xuan and others. Those deeper in the deeper ones could not stand it before they could get closer.
The whole of Paris began to be martial law. The Paris police and the military directly blocked the entire Paris. Then they started searching from house to house. They were not stupid, and they soon confirmed that someone was setting fire.
At this time, Lu Xuan and others had already returned to their residence a few streets away. They piled up the messy things in the corner, and the few people immediately entered a state of work.
Not long after, a hurried knock on the door came from outside.
"Don't pay attention and continue our work." Lu Xuan stopped his disciples from thinking about opening the door. Less than ten seconds later, the sound of a collision came from outside. A large group of policemen broke into the door and rushed into the studio of Lu Xuan and others.
Lu Xuan ignored them. Instead, he completed his work slowly. He was dispensing medicine, dispensing medicine to several French bigwigs. The kind of medicine that the romantic French nobles would always need in their later years.
