C73 Things That will Bring Disaster to the Country and the People.
C73 Things That will Bring Disaster to the Country and the People.
Old Zhang was stunned. He was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he could not find any words to refute Lin Muyun.
He snorted heavily, turned around, and walked in front of another sandalwood rack. He carefully removed the red cloth covering it.
Behind the red cloth was a glass cover. Inside the cover was a phoenix crown that was inlaid with jewels. However, old Zhang did not dare to open the glass cover. He pointed at the phoenix crown inside and said proudly, "This Southern Tang's queen's crown. In the entire country, other than the National Museum's collection, the only thing left is this one of mine! I once took it to an exhibition overseas. A foreign antique dealer offered 15 million, but I rejected it. "
The crowd gathered around and exclaimed.
The gorgeous queen's crown was indeed exquisite, and it was even rarer that it was kept in perfect condition. There were three dragons and two phoenixes on the queen's crown, and there were also many pearls and jades embedded on it. S alone. They sparkled under the light, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
A middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and could not help but say, "old Zhang, our Jing City Antiques Shop is looking for this kind of queen's crown. We are preparing to bring it to the international antique competition. Can you sell this queen's crown to us? I will pay 20 million! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd started bidding.
"30 million!"
"Thirty five million!"
Old Zhang waved his hand at the crowd and said, "This queen's crown is a precious item of this dojo. It is only for exhibition and not for sale. "
Hearing that this phoenix crown was not for sale, the crowd let out a sound of pity.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Muyun. He had a faint smile on his face, waiting for Lin Muyun to speak.
Lin Muyun looked at the phoenix crown, shook his head and said, "This thing can't be considered a treasure, and it's a scourge!"
As soon as his voice faded, not only old Zhang's expression changed, even the surrounding crowd was stunned.
Qin Yuwei frowned, she also felt that Lin Muyun's words were too serious.
Old Zhang stretched his face and said in a deep voice, "I respect you because you are a guest invited by Eldest Miss. That is why I treat you with respect. Since you don't know the rules, then speak nonsense. Don't blame me for not treating you with respect. "
After saying that, he coldly said to the waiter," See you out! "
"Wait!" Lin Muyun said in a clear voice, "Do you know the origin of this queen's crown?"
Old Zhang snorted and said, "This is a gift from the Emperor Yu when it married Queen Zhou into the Palace during the Southern Tang Dynasty. This phoenix crown has an auspicious meaning. It was carefully crafted by gathering a hundred craftsmen from all over the country and has a profound meaning. "
Lin Muyun smiled and asked, "May I ask old Zhang, what is the outcome of the Emperor Yu?"
Old Zhang was stunned. He was immediately stumped by the question.
There was no need for him to answer. Many people present knew about this part of history.
The Emperor Yu was the last emperor of the Southern Tang. The Ancestor Soong destroyed the Southern Tang, and he became a captive. He had lived a humiliating life for many years. In the end, he was poisoned to death by the Ancestor Soong.
And the Emperor Yu was even more well known about his poems. He had written many famous poems.
Lin Muyun pointed at the queen's crown and said, "This is not the phoenix crown when the Emperor Yu married Queen Zhou. It is the phoenix crown he used to marry the Emperor's younger sister, Queen Zhou. At that time, the national treasury was already empty and could not make ends meet. But the Emperor Yu ordered people to guard the palace gates and did not allow the officials to report. Everyday he drank and laughed in the palace, ignoring the state affairs. He even used all his money to create this phoenix crown. In the end, he was defeated by the Ancestor Soong. The country was also destroyed. "
After saying that, Lin Muyun smiled. "Behind this precious phoenix crown, there is a lack of livelihood, the exile of the common people, and the destruction of the country. So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an object that can bring disaster to the country and the people, right?"
His words were very reasonable, and he also corrected one of old Zhang's mistakes.
Old Zhang was stunned for a few seconds, and his face turned red. He said angrily, "How do you know that it is used by Queen Zhou?"
Lin Muyun smiled and said, "The two queens are biological sisters. In order to show that they are equal, the Emperor Yu. He made the same phoenix crown for them. Queen Zhou's phoenix crown was collected by the National Museum. Queen Zhou's phoenix crown was here. There was a difference between two phoenix crowns. Queen Zhou's phoenix crown was embedded with a ruby. Queen Zhou's phoenix crown was made of red agate. The two phoenix crowns looked similar at first glance. But the reality is different. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd scrambled to squeeze in front of the glass dome, holding the magnifying glass to look carefully.
The middle-aged man who had just spoken exclaimed, "It's really agate!"
"Let me take a look. " old Zhang looked angry. He took a look at the magnifying glass and could not help but be stunned.
The phoenix crown was really inlaid with red agate!
The crowd immediately looked at Lin Muyun in a different light. Qin Yuwei was also surprised in her heart. She did not expect Lin Muyun to know more than old Zhang.
Lau Minghou was stunned when he heard this. He could not help but ask in a low voice: "Son-in-law, how did you know?"
"Me?" Lin Muyun coughed twice and pretended to say, "When I was free, I also studied antiques. Although I am not profound, I have read about it in an ancient book. "
Although he said that he was not profound, he still knew so much. Even old Zhang's mistake was pointed out. The crowd was even more amazed by him.
Actually, Lin Muyun had never read any ancient books. He knew about it from the Nine Profound Heaven Scripture.
The Nine Profound Heaven Scripture contained everything. Apart from cultivation techniques, medical skills, and Feng Shui, it also recorded history from ancient times to present. The changes in history and the changes in the stars were recorded in the book. The Nine Profound Heaven Scripture could be said to be a huge encyclopedia.
Until now, Lin Muyun had been studying it for three years, and he had only learned the basics of the Nine Profound Heaven Scripture.
He even suspected that the Nine Profound Heaven Scripture was a creature from a higher dimension, a tool used to record Earth.
There were already a few people who looked at Lin Muyun with admiration, but old Zhang's expression was ugly, feeling that he had been humiliated by Lin Muyun.
Old Zhang said unhappily, "Since you don't care about the things here, you won't be interested in them. What kind of antique do you think is worthy of being called a treasure?"
Lin Muyun thought for a while and said, "Since it's a treasure, it should be a rare treasure in the world, or something that ordinary people can't create. For example, the Immortal Execution Sword in Lord Tongtian's hand that can exterminate evil beings, or the magic treasure Chaos Bell in East Emperor Taiyi's hand. "
Before he could finish his words, old Zhang laughed out of extreme anger. "You are really speaking nonsense. How can there be such legendary magic treasures in this world? You are making fun of me! "
The crowd was clamoring. They had thought that Lin Muyun was knowledgeable, but now his words made everyone think that he was talking nonsense. He was simply here to stir up trouble.
Qin Yuwei also did not expect Lin Muyun to say such things, so she could not help but speak.
"Lin Muyun, these are all legends. Lord Tongtian, East Emperor Taiyi, aren't these all legends? Why do you take them seriously?"
