Chapter 18 Seeing Eyeball Tattoo Again
When getting off the elevator, Professor Ye suddenly asked me: "How are you developing with Gu Meidi?"
I was startled and turned red: "What's the matter?"
Professor Ye smiled and said, "Don't pretend, can you hide your thoughts from me? I eat more salt than you have, and these eyes have seen countless people! Gu Meidi is a pretty good girl, you have to grasp it well. I have done my best to create opportunities for you. I hope you don't disappoint me!"
I felt warm in my heart, and I was excited and said, "Please ensure that the task is completed!"
Back in the room, Gu Meidi was doing squatting exercises in the room. I looked at her in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Gu Meidi said: "You are back. I'm almost starving. I heard that you can forget about hunger when doing exercise!"
I smiled and handed the cold skin in my hand to her: "Nonsense! Exercise will only make my stomach hungry. Eat quickly. Authentic Shaanxi cold skin with authentic taste!"
Gu Meidi took the Liangpi and immediately started working hard: "Why are you just coming back now?"
I stammered and said, "The business of Liangpi is so good. I only bought it after a long queue!"
Gu Meidi said: "That's really hard for you! For your hard work, I decided to reward you!"
I was so happy when I heard this. I was so careful that she would reward me. What would she reward me? Should I reward me with a kiss? Or I reward me with a bed with her? Wow, it's amazing!
Gu Meidi said loudly: "Dangdangdang! Reward you will continue to bring breakfast for me tomorrow morning!"
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue, which immediately makes me so thrilled that I am tender on the outside and can't say a word.
The next day, the Ancient Cultural Relics Exhibition and Trade Fair was held as scheduled at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Xi'an.
As an invitational guest, Professor Ye made a brief and wonderful speech at the opening ceremony.
This ancient cultural relics exhibition attracted tens of thousands of people to participate. All cultural relics collectors from all over the world flocked to Xi'an and were unwilling to miss this feast for cultural relics collectors. The crowds of people would be flooded, and the exhibition center would be surrounded by water. Some people carried large bundles of cash and wanted to buy a good item. Some people were cautiously holding their antiques and wanted to take this opportunity to sell them at a good price. Some people just came to join in the fun. There were many such people, and Gu Meidi and I were one of them.
Due to Professor Ye, Gu Meidi and I naturally don’t have to mix in the crowded crowd. We were lucky to be the first tourists to enter the exhibition center that day. We strolled in the spacious and grand exhibition center, where hundreds or thousands of antique treasures were placed. In addition to the staff of the exhibition center, there were also the mighty special police waiting for the battle, and the safety measures were simply unscathed.
Gu Meidi and I have followed Professor Ye in recent years, and there are many ancient treasures and treasures that we have seen. However, when we walked into the exhibition center, we were still shocked by all kinds of ancient artworks. Faced with so many exquisite ancient relics that we have never seen, the things we have seen before are really small. The ancient relics that can be exhibited at this exhibition are all the bright pearls of the cultural relics world. Every ancient relics are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient craftsmen, and ordinary antiques are not qualified to enter the exhibition center.
The dazzling array of ancient relics made my eyes shine, and my saliva flowed down the corners of my mouth.
Gu Meidi looked at me with a squinted look: "Tuoba Gu, why do you look so naughty?"
I drooled and said, "I was thinking, these antiquities are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. If they are all mine, I would have made a fortune!"
Gu Meidi rolled her eyes: "You haven't woken up yet? You're dreaming during the day! But then again, isn't your family a corpse-fishing man from the Yellow River? I haven't caught any treasures under the surging Yellow River for so many years?"
I said, "It's not as easy as you think. There is no good thing about pies falling from the sky. When my grandfather was young, he caught a big iron cow under the Yellow River. It is said that the big iron cow was as big as a truck head, and it was shiny all over, and it was very smooth by the river water. Later, my grandfather donated the big iron cow to the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau, and now it is still placed in the ancient cultural relics museum in Henan."
Gu Meidi and I were chatting while walking forward. The precious ancient relics were neatly displayed on both sides of the aisle, exuding a strong ancient charm and a heavy historical atmosphere. So many collections were dazzling. Although we are professional archaeologists, we can only call out the names of a few collections. Here I will briefly introduce a few:
One is the "Hetian Jade Lotus Seed Double-Ear Aromatherapy Furnace". The shape of this collection is very unique. The material is the best Hetian jade, which is snow-white and transparent, without any flaws. The volume of the aromatherapy Furnace may be a little larger than the fists of an adult. There are one ear on the left and right of the furnace and cauldron. Two jade lotus seeds hang on the ears of the furnace and cauldron, hanging on a jade screen with patterns as big as a palm above. Under the light, the light is full of colors and beautiful. I looked at the auction price inadvertently, and the long list of "0s" behind me made me dizzy.
Next to the aromatherapy furnace, there is an even more extraordinary collection, with a long name "Blue and White Concealed Dragon and Phoenix Pattern Eight-edged Jade Pot Spring Bottle". The auction price of this thing has reached tens of millions of yuan, which made me stunned and amazed. The blue and white jade bottle adopts a unique octagonal process, which makes the entire jade bottle have eight cut surfaces and edges, which is very rare among ancient crafts. The blue and white jade bottle uses a traditional light blue thick bottom, and paints a gorgeous pattern of dragons leaping through the sky on the bottle. You can tell at a glance that it is a royal treasure, no wonder it is so expensive.
Not long after walking, we saw a more ingenious Han Dynasty copper case. A tripod was engraved in the center of the inner area of the copper case, and water splashed overflowing from the mouth of the tripod, and two strange beasts danced against each other. There was a copper flower tree in the four corners of the outer area and the middle of the long side, with strange birds and beasts arranged in between. The serrated patterns were carved on the inner edge of the mouth and the hook patterns were engraved along the surface, full of strong ancient charm. The light flowed on the copper case, reflecting simple and charming colors.
Gu Meidi suddenly patted my shoulder and said, "Hey, there are people auctioning ancient corpses over there. It's so fresh. Let's go and take a look!"
It was a pure white crystal coffin. An ancient corpse was quietly lying inside the crystal coffin. The crystal coffin was standing, transparent on all sides, so that the appearance of the ancient corpse could be seen clearly in all directions. When Gu Meidi and I came to the front of the crystal coffin, we were immediately stunned. It was not because we were scared by the auction price on the coffin, but because we were scared by the ancient corpse inside the coffin.
Gu Meidi and I looked at each other, Oh my God, this ancient corpse, regardless of appearance and clothing, was almost exactly the same as the ancient corpse in the tortoise coffin!
I saw that the ancient corpse had a long and narrow face, a strong nose bridge, deep eyes, and distinct characteristics of the Western Regions. He also wore a hedgehog steel helmet and black armor. He held a curved cold moon knife in his right hand, and his face was lifelike, as if he was just asleep peacefully.
Gu Meidi exclaimed in a low voice: "Western Xia warrior!"
Why did another ancient corpse of a Western Xia warrior appear here? Could it be that this ancient corpse was also taken out of the tortoise coffin? From this point of view, the precious and strange Yin wood turtle coffin may have many. These Western Xia warriors may be warriors with great military achievements, or they may be buried with the royal relatives and nobles.
Just as I was secretly guessing, Gu Meidi had already walked around the back of the coffin: "Tuoba Gu, come and see!"
I came to Gu Meidi, who pointed to the back of the neck of the ancient corpse and said, "Look!"
I looked closely and saw a strange eyeball tattoo pattern at the back of the neck of the ancient corpse. The tattoo technique is very superb. The eyeball looks like it grows in the flesh, just like it is fresh, and it is inexplicably terrifying.
I speculated: "It seems that this eyeball tattoo may be a totem worshipped by the Western Xia warriors, or it may be a national custom of the Western Xia people!"
"No!" Gu Meidi shook her head.
I was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?"
Gu Meidi said: "I remember that the eyeball pattern of the ancient corpse in the tortoise coffin is green, but why is the eyeball pattern of the ancient corpse bright red?"
"Oh?" I didn't pay attention to the question that Gu Meidi said, but I believe her because she has the super ability to remember everything she sees, so she will never remember it wrong.
I suggested: "Why don't we ask the boss behind the auction of this ancient corpse, maybe he will know some information about the ancient corpse of the Western Xia warrior!"
That Yin Wooden Tortoise Coffin has always been an unsolvable mystery in our hearts. We can't even find any relevant information and information. Today, we finally found clues, so we naturally refused to let it go.
We quickly found the staff and asked him about the boss behind the auction of the ancient corpse.
The staff looked at us with a look of suspicion: "Do you want to buy this ancient corpse?"
I nodded: "Yes!"
The staff said: "Young man, stop kidding, look at the price above, you... can you afford it?"
"..." I was speechless for a moment. Just when I was not sure how to go on, Gu Meidi stepped forward to help me. She held her cell phone and pretended to call next to me with a pretentious look on her face: "Hey! Secretary Liu? How are you talking about cooperation with Microsoft? Ah, that's it! What did Gates say? What? Do you still have to consider? Americans are too cautious in doing things. Is it necessary to be so cautious in small businesses worth hundreds of millions of yuan? Really..."
