Nine hundred and twentieth chapters cold ice essence
"Mr. Charles, you are the act of a thief!"
Song Tianyu has been in the Hidden Group for so many years and has really felt a little national honor. He immediately said, "It's okay if you don't know. Since I saw it, Mr. Charles, I hope you can return these cultural relics because they all carry the feelings of our nation."
"No, no, no, this is impossible!"
Hearing Song Tianyu's words, Charles shook his head repeatedly and said, "Mr. Song, you have to know that these are all problems left over from history. Neither you nor I have to judge them. Moreover, as a person who pursues his own evolution, I don't think we need to waste too much energy on these vulgar things."
Although the Windsor family does not attach much importance to these secular cultural relics, as spoils, they represent the glory of the Windsor family in the past.
What's more, what Song Tianyu saw was only things from China, such as those cultural relics from Greece and Egypt, which were also displayed in several large rooms. If the cultural relics from China were returned, then what would be the problems of other countries be dealt with? Therefore, Charles would not agree to Song Tianyu's request in any case.
"Since they are all vulgar things, let's give it back to us."
Song Tianyu looked at the twelve zodiac bronze heads and said, "Our country has been looking for these copper heads over the years, but I didn't expect that they were collected by your Windsor family. Mr. Charles, I want to ask you to return these objects. It should be no big problem, right?"
Song Tianyu knew that the domestic cultural relics department attached great importance to the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac signs. Last year, the relevant departments even found the hidden group and asked them to transport a bronze head from abroad. If these six bronze heads could be retrieved, it would definitely be a matter that would enhance national feelings.
"Are these copper heads just?"
Charles hesitated for a moment when he heard this. In the Windsor family, there is a darker alliance outside and a holy See inside. Life is not easy, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Chinese cultivators. Otherwise, only Babru nominated, China may not be able to participate in this psychic meeting.
"It would be even better if Mr. Charles could return these two Qin terracotta warriors." Seeing Charles' expression, Song Tianyu couldn't help but lit up. He heard some tricks. Charles seemed to have the meaning of returning the bronze head of the twelve zodiac signs.
"That's definitely not possible. And if the Qin Warriors are exposed, I'm afraid your China side will be out of sight, right?" After hearing Song Tianyu's words, Charles smiled bitterly.
The twelve zodiac bronze heads are just the spoils of the Windsor family back then. To put it bluntly, it is a decoration. As the main spokesperson of the Windsor family, Charles' lineage has a great power in the family, but he has the authority to deal with several bronze heads. However, the two Qin warriors were created by the elders of the family for a lot of effort, and Charles dared not return them.
"Okay, let's return these six bronze heads first!"
Song Tianyu understood Charles' meaning, because since the emergence of the Terracotta Warriors, the country has not even held an exhibition abroad, and it is said that one has not been lost. However, there are two in the Windsor family's private collection. If it is really exposed, it will be a slap in the face.
However, Song Tianyu didn't say anything. He just said that he would return these six bronze heads first. As for other things, he would slowly polish them with Charles later. Song Tianyu also had some understanding of the current situation of the Windsor family and knew that they needed the friendship between China at this stage.
"I can't just exchange it for you." Charles said.
"Why?"
As soon as Song Tianyu said, he knew that he had asked a stupid question. If it was the bronze head directly returned by the Windsor family, wouldn't it tell the world that the thief in the UK was the first to be a British thief? The return may need to be changed in a way.
"This is easy to deal with." Song Tianyu said after thinking for a moment: "You can hand over these copper heads to the auction house and then our client will take them down. What do you think, Mr. Charles?"
"Yes, these are all small things." Charles nodded after hearing this and said, "Just turn around and ask someone to operate it. Mr. Song, let's talk about the matter of the Resurrection Pill."
He pointed to the cultural relics and antiques all over the room, and Charles said: "Mr. Song can carefully choose to see if there are any suitable and exchangeable objects."
To be honest, when he brought Song Tianyu and Fang Yi here, Charles did not have much hope, because he knew that most of the things in this warehouse were antiques from the world and did not have much effect on cultivators.
However, Song Tianyu's strong interest in the bronze head of the twelve zodiac signs just now gave Charles a glimmer of hope. He hoped that Song Tianyu's patriotism would be stronger. It would be better to exchange a few Chinese national treasures for the resurrection pill for Charles, which was definitely a profitable deal for him.
"Okay, I'll take a look first." Song Tianyu nodded and said to Fang Yi beside him: "I heard that you are a student of several antique appraisals in China. You can also see how many national treasures these foreigners stole from our country back then."
What surprised Song Tianyu was that as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yi had not answered, Charles actually said in a very fluent Chinese: "Song, it is not gentleman to speak bad things behind his back."
"Hehe, Charles, you can't deny that these things were stolen."
When he reached Song Tianyu's age, he had already been fed the dog to eat it. He laughed dryly and said, "Charles, there are so many things here. I need some books and elixirs for martial arts. I wonder if you have them here?"
"The classics of martial arts? They are those books that practice martial arts luck, right?"
Charles did not bother with Song Tianyu about the origin of these antiques. He pointed to the bookcase on the wall behind the house and said, "I collected a lot of ancient books from your country back then, but I don't know which ones are useful to you. You can take a look first."
"so much?"
Looking along Charles' fingers, Song Tianyu was stunned. The wall was forty or fifty square meters, and the bookcase leading directly to the top wall was densely packed with at least tens of thousands of books. If Song Tianyu checked it one by one, he would not finish reading it in a month.
“This is just a part of it.”
Seeing Song Tianyu's surprise look, Charles shrugged and said, "This was bought by an explorer from your country in the early 2000s. But you don't need to look at them all. We have made some classifications above, and you can choose to search for it. As for elixirs, I don't have them here, but there are some weapons used by you oriental cultivators."
"Okay, I'll read these books first."
Song Tianyu walked to the bottom of the bookcase and saw that every bookcase marked the content of the books in the bookcase in English, just like the one Song Tianyu saw, with words such as humanities and culture and drama written on it.
The label of another bookcase contains the words astronomy and geography. Looking along the bookcase, Song Tianyu also saw nearly twenty categories including military documents, medical acupoints, smelting and forging, Buddhist and Taoist classics, painting and calligraphy, Zhou Yi divination, etc., which made Song Tianyu feel dizzy for a moment.
"I'm old and my eyes are not working well, so I can't see clearly."
Song Tianyu smiled bitterly and waved to Fang Yi. There were so many classics that really had the skills to practice. I'm afraid Song Tianyu would not be able to find them. "Fang Yi, it's not possible, there are too many, I'm dizzy when I look at it. Come and help me see."
When Song Tianyu was checking those tags, Fang Yi was already looking through some classics. After hearing Song Tianyu's words, Fang Yi put the book in his hand, looked at Charles, and asked, "Mr. Charles, the books here should be made by the man named Stein in your country, right?"
"Yes, this was indeed donated to our family by Mr. Stein."
Charles nodded when he heard this. In addition to his identities as evolvers and royal crown princes, Charles is also an international historian with profound attainments. He knew that as long as anyone who is a little proficient in archaeological history, he would see the origin of these books.
"Fang Yi, who is Stein?" Song Tianyu asked in confusion.
"A British explorer bought these books from the hands of Taoist Wang in Dunhuang at a bargain price." Fang Yi looked at the contents on the label and guessed that there were only Dunhuang books that could be collected so well abroad.
The Dunhuang collection was discovered by a Taoist priest living in Dunhuang at the beginning of the last century. The Taoist priest was named Wang. Out of ignorance, he sold tens of thousands of Dunhuang collections to foreigners more than ten times, which was a serious sin.
However, Taoist Wang did not make any profit from selling books. He used all the money he had sold to renovate grottoes and statues and develop incense. He lived a very hard life. However, his approach also damaged countless precious and broken statues of all generations, which made future generations heartbroken.
"I seem to know this." After Fang Yi said this, Song Tianyu also had some impressions and said angrily: "This is another robber."
"It's not said to be a robber. The court was corrupt and weak at that time, so we can't blame others." Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Old Song, it's fortunate that my teacher didn't come with me. Otherwise, if he saw so many national treasures, he would definitely be heartbroken."
The teacher Fang Yi mentioned was naturally Sun Lianda. When he taught Fang Yi's relevant knowledge, whenever he mentioned these cultural relics that were lost to foreign countries, Sun Lianda was always heartbroken, especially scolding the Taoist priest Wang for being a bloody spurt.
"Fang Yi, you have a look first. I'll take a look at the weapons that Charles mentioned." Song Tianyu knew that Fang Yi's cultivation, including spiritual consciousness, was much stronger than him. If he could find any useful skills, he could only rely on Fang Yi, and he would not be able to do it no matter what.
"good!"
Fang Yi nodded and agreed. He often heard Sun Lianda mention the Dunhuang collection of books, and was a little curious about these ancient books. He walked to the bookcase with the words "Zhouyi Divination" and took out a book and read it carefully.
Fang Yi reads books very fast. He does not look at them with his eyes, but with his spiritual sense. After almost scanning the page of the book, the general content is imprinted in his mind, and for those useless things, Fang Yi's spiritual sense is automatically eliminated.
One, two, five, ten, and in just a short while, the rows of books under the bookcase were all read by Fang Yi, but the disappointment on Fang Yi's face became increasingly severe, because the records in these books were all basic knowledge and had no effect on Fang Yi at all.
Leaving the bookcase where Zhou Yi was divining, Fang Yi walked to the bookcase of medical acupoints and read it again. These books had some tricks of practicing martial arts, but they were all vulgar. Some even evolved from the Five Animals Play, not left by practitioners. Fang Yi finally had to leave the bookcase in disappointment.
Fang Yi took out almost every bookcase and checked it, but he didn't find anything valuable. Even Fang Yi read the Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit carefully, and there was no practice in it.
"How is it? Fang Yi, is there any useful technique?" After Song Tianyu asked this, he knew that he had asked in vain, because Fang Yi's face, with empty hands, was full of disappointment, and he must have found nothing.
"Old Song, how do you think of your weapons?" Fang Yi shook his head and turned his eyes to a short sword in Song Tianyu's hand. The short sword was only three inches long and emitted a cold light throughout. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary person.
"That's the sword that can catch your eye."
Song Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, "This sword should be passed down by the cultivator, but the weapons are always foreign objects. He will not help me in breaking through and advancing. If I fail to break through, what's the use of it?"
As a martial arts practitioner, Song Tianyu does like such a short sword, but what he needs most now is a martial art or spiritual medicine that can advance to and break through, rather than a weapon that increases his combat power, so this short sword is like a useless to Song Tianyu.
"Mr. Song, aren't there any of you so many things?" Charles knew Chinese. From the conversation between Fang Yi and Song Tianyu, he could hear what Song Tianyu meant.
"No, Mr. Charles, I can only say sorry." Song Tianyu shook his head and said, "Let's go up. This has been delayed for a long time. I'll go to the trade fair to find out if I can find what I need?"
Fang Yi and Song Tianyu came to this warehouse at the beginning of the trade fair. They have been there for four or five hours now. Song Tianyu wants to go up and try his luck. Perhaps the evolvers from other countries have what he needs.
"Mr. Song, I can take out something, maybe it will help you."
Seeing that Song Tianyu was about to leave, Charles was a little anxious. He was very envious of the resurrection pill. He had thought that it would be best if he could get it with these antiques, but now he saw that Song Tianyu was not interested, Charles could only take out some good things.
"Oh? What?" Song Tianyu stopped hearing this. Charles said this when he knew what he needed. Perhaps the things he took out would be helpful to him.
"It is a kind of ice marrow, we call it ice marrow." Charles thought for a moment and said, "This kind of ice marrow can only be found in extremely cold places, and the number is very small."
"Sorry, Mr. Charles, what is its effect?" Song Tianyu interrupted Charles' words.
"Although the ice marrow appears in the extremely cold place, it is a yang thing. After taking it, you will feel extremely hot all over your body. Charles was not angry, and then said: "The function of ice marrow is to stimulate the potential of the human body, and make people's body produce several times or even dozens of times the strength before him."
“Stimulate the potential of the human body?”
Song Tianyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and unconsciously looked at Fang Yi. He didn't know whether the ice marrow had any effect on his breakthrough in the innate world. Only Fang Yi, who was in the innate realm, would know about this.
"How many times the potential can be stimulated? Are there any sequelae?" Fang Yi asked Charles.
"A normal person can lift a car with a drop of ice marrow."
After giving an example, Charles said: "Evolutionists don't have that good effect after taking it, but their potential will increase greatly, at least three times as much as before taking it. As for the sequelae, there are some, that is, after the medicine is effective, there will be a period of fatigue for three or four days, but it will not cause any damage to the body."
"Fang Yi, how about it?"
