"Um..." Zhang Mengyu said with some embarrassment, "I came back in such a hurry, all the things were piled together without marking them, and I don't know which ones belong to China.

"It's okay, just treat it like opening a blind box!" Chen Xin recovered from his surprise. Opening a box containing cultural relics was much more exciting than opening a blind box. He couldn't wait to find out what Zhang Mengyu had brought to him.

What a surprise has come.

In the first box is a long golden staff. It is almost entirely made of gold. It is inlaid with a huge red diamond on the top. There are also incomprehensible words engraved on the long staff. The long staff is approximately

It's a little over one meter and quite heavy.

"This! This seems to be..."

Professor Chen Xin seemed to have discovered a new world. He almost reached for the golden staff with excitement, but was immediately restrained by his professional instinct. He carefully took out a pair of gloves and a pair of gloves from his pocket.

A magnifying glass, holding it carefully and starting to observe.

"This seems to be the Pharaoh's scepter in Egypt!" Zhang Mengyu could feel it, while Chen Xin frantically suppressed his excitement.

In ancient Egypt, the scepter was a symbol of status and power. Whether it was the scepter of the king or the gods, it represented the supreme dignity and status, but the most precious one was the "Pharaoh's scepter". The ancient Egyptians believed that,

This is a token of God’s walking in the world.

But I don’t know how many years ago, the Pharaoh’s scepter was lost. Although ancient Egyptologists have found many pyramids and many Pharaoh’s tombs so far, they have never found any trace of the Pharaoh’s scepter.

As one of the four ancient civilizations alongside China, the value of this scepter is no less than that of China's traditional jade seal. The two have almost the same historical status.

"Yes, Professor Chen, this is the Pharaoh's scepter," Zhang Mengyu said, "Actually, before the Pharaoh's pyramid was excavated, tomb thieves had already entered the tomb and stolen a batch of treasures, including this one.

A scepter.”

"Legend has it that the Pharaoh left a curse in his pyramid. The tomb robbers died of various reasons not long after they left, and the Pharaoh's scepter also disappeared," Zhang Mengyu said.

I heard it all from Emma's account.

"It's incredible. A treasure that has been lost for thousands of years has been rediscovered today," Professor Chen couldn't help but admired. "I didn't expect that someone could find it. The auction price is probably an astronomical figure, right?"

"It's not expensive, it's only 1.2 billion euros."

"1.2 billion..." The two old professors almost spoke out. 1.2 billion euros, isn't that expensive? Is this what people say?

The first "blind box" gave Chen Xin a huge surprise, and he was full of expectations for the contents of the other boxes.

"This is...the crystal skull of the Mayans!!" Chen Xin shouted directly.

The Mayan civilization is one of the most mysterious civilizations in the world. Although it is not one of the four major civilizations, this jungle civilization has made great achievements in astronomy, mathematics and other aspects as early as the Neolithic Age.

The Mayan civilization also left behind many mysterious legends, among which the 13 crystal skulls of the Mayan civilization are the most mysterious. These 13 crystal skulls can speak and sing, and hide information about the origin and death of human beings.

Human beings have always believed that these 13 crystal skulls are just legends. However, 4 years ago, the first crystal skull appeared in the ruins of the Mayan civilization. Although no so-called information on the origin and death of human beings was found, it was

The precise understanding of human bone structure and the amazing cutting technology are enough to make people marvel.

But four years have passed, and archaeologists are working hard to find the remaining 12 skulls, but there is no news. But here, one has appeared.

"How much does this thing cost?"

"Much cheaper than that scepter, 800 million euros!" Zhang Mengyu said casually.

"Cheap..." Chen Xin shook his head and opened a golden brocade box, "What is this? It's quite heavy!"

Chen Xin opened the box with a smile, but he was stunned when he saw the contents inside. Then, muddy tears filled his bright old eyes.

"Oh my God! The Jade Seal of the Kingdom! This is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom! Am I dreaming?" Chen Xin suddenly burst into tears when he saw this national treasure that had been lost for thousands of years.

For professors in the history department, these lost national treasures are a painful experience for them. When they see this cultural relic, they feel like an old father has found his lost child. The feeling is indescribable.

Described using language.

"This is the Nine Dragons Sword!"

""Preface to Orchid Pavilion"! It's actually "Preface to Orchid Pavilion"!"

"The last beast head!"

...

Each of the eight national treasures is the most precious and historically valuable thing in China. Chen Xin did not even dare to lift those cultural relics anymore. He was afraid that he would accidentally drop the cultural relics to the ground.

.

"These things should be put in museums for every descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties to come and admire them!" Chen Xin said excitedly.

He suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhang Mengyu.

"Professor Chen, what are you doing?" Zhang Menglong quickly stood up and helped Professor Chen up.

"Hazy, on behalf of the country, thank you for bringing these national treasures back to China!"

"Professor Chen, what are you talking about? These small things are just a trivial effort," Zhang Menglong said quickly, "I was going to the auction to see the world. I happened to see these things and bought them casually. You don't have to be so polite.

of!"

"Did you buy it casually?" Chen Xin was amused by Zhang Mengyu's words.

Any one of these things is worth more than one billion. The total value of these Chinese cultural relics alone is probably worth billions of euros. Is this called buying it casually?

"Menglong, how many things were sold in that auction?" Professor Han asked curiously. Zhang Menglong brought back more than 80 treasures by himself. I believe the total amount should be terrible, right?

"About a hundred and a few items," Zhang Menglong said, "I just buy them based on which ones look better, are more practical, or are interesting."

"Are you sure you are going to the auction?" Chen Xin and Han Jinyu looked at each other.

Not to mention the items worth a hundred yuan or less, Zhang Mengyu bought nearly ninety items by himself. This was an auction, and everyone was fully prepared and went specifically for a certain auction item.

of.

For Zhang Mengyu, it seems that he just buys something he likes. Is this a visit to a food market? Even if you are visiting a food market, people can still change the price, and the auction can also let you bargain?

"Hazy, why do I feel like you went abroad to buy groceries instead of attending an auction? You just buy whatever you like." Han Jinyu said speechlessly.

Zhang Mengru thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Actually, it's almost the same as buying groceries."

...

Zhang Menglong asked several servants at home to pack these things, and then carefully repackaged the eight cultural relics belonging to China and put them aside.

"Meng Wu, I will report this matter to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as soon as possible," Chen Xin said, "but these things are too heavy and require a very special venue. Our Jiangnan City History and Culture Museum may not have space to store them.

I may have to apply and send it to a museum in the capital."

"Ah? Want to send them to the capital?" Zhang Mengyu was a little reluctant. Although there was no difference between them in China, after all, he got these things by himself, and he hoped to stay in Jiangnan City.

In fact, Chen Xinshi really hopes that these things will stay in Jiangnan City, but if this is really the case, then he must apply for a fund to expand the venue, which is not an easy task.

Chen Xin told Zhang Menglong the difficulty.

Zhang Menglong smiled slightly and said, "It turns out it's just a matter of funding. How about I donate another amount?"
