Chapter 134: Mysterious Treasure
At noon, Ling Tian was meditating in the yard. Suddenly the phone rang. It turned out to be Professor Wang.
After all, Professor Wang did not go to Tianmen headquarters to find Chu Tian, but instead asked Ling Tian to meet at the Island Coffee House in the city.
Ling Tian thought that Professor Wang would find him as soon as possible, but he didn't receive Professor Wang's invitation until the fourth day. He felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he was introduced by the principal, and he was very respectful to principal Ling Tian.
Trustworthy, and Professor Wang is also the Taishan Beidou of ancient literature.
Ling Tian drove the off-road vehicle to the coffee shop in the city. Xiu'er leaned on Ling Tian's shoulder like a little bird. In front of the island coffee shop, when Ling Tian parked the car, he couldn't help but look at it.
He glanced at a Mercedes-Benz not far away. It wasn't the Mercedes-Benz that aroused Ling Tian's curiosity, but the Mercedes-Benz's license plate number, Jing a88v88. Ling Tian knew that people with license plate numbers reaching this level are either extremely rich or extremely expensive.
Otherwise, who would spend so much money to get this license plate number that shows identity?
As soon as Ling Tian and Xiu'er entered the second floor of the coffee shop, they saw them leisurely drinking coffee and reading newspapers in the corner. Ling Tian discovered that today, except for Professor Wang and the two young people beside him,
There is also a woman in her thirties, with an oval face, a black professional suit, a very simple watch on her hand, and piercing eyes that make her look particularly capable and shrewd.
When Professor Wang saw Chu Tian and Xiu'er, he stood up happily, held Ling Tian's hand, and said, "Classmate Ling, I'm really sorry. I'm not in good spirits these days, so I haven't had the chance to go to Zhao State."
I’m visiting you in my garden. My health has just gotten better today. I was just about to go find you, but my heart felt heavy and I couldn’t travel. I had no choice but to ask you to meet here. Wouldn’t you be surprised, classmate Ling?”
"Professor Wang is joking. You are the senior and I am the junior. It is only natural and natural for me to come here." Ling Tian looked at Professor Wang's apologetic eyes and hurriedly spoke.
Professor Wang smiled indifferently and looked at Ling Tian with approval. This Ling Tian was really unambiguous in his speech and polite. So he smiled heartily and said, "Thank you, classmate Ling, for your generosity." Then he thought of something and pointed to the person beside him.
The woman dressed in black said: "Here, let me introduce to you. This is my assistant, Zhao Ruochen." Then she said to Zhao Ruochen: "Ruochen, this is Ling Tian, a century-old wizard. Let's communicate more."
Zhao Ruochen stood up and stretched out his hand. With a friendly smile on his face, he politely said to Ling Tian and Xiu'er: "Hello, please give me your advice."
Ling Tian and Xiu'er smiled slightly and shook hands with Zhao Ruochen politely. Ling Tian took back Zhao Ruochen's hand, and a faint fragrance floated over his hand, but Ling Tian's heart suddenly moved, "It feels so familiar.
Taste.” My eyes couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Ruochen.
While several people were talking, a waiter came up with two plates of snacks. Maybe it was because the floor was too smooth. When he got close to Ling Tian and the others, he stumbled and the two plates of snacks in his hands fell forward, and the people also walked towards them.
He rushed forward, and saw that the snacks and people were about to hit Ling Tian and his team's table. The two young people who had been following Professor Wang immediately moved forward like nimble rabbits, and a young man stepped forward to catch them.
With two plates of snacks, a young man supported the waiter. All the actions were completed instantly, and the tacit understanding between the two young men was so perfect that Ling Tian couldn't help but admire him.
The waiter apologized to Professor Wang and the others with a red face. Professor Wang waved her hand and asked her to leave.
Ling Tian looked at Zhao Ruochen slightly, but it seemed as if nothing had happened to her, and her expression remained unchanged.
The two young men put the snacks on the table and then sat back down. When they passed by Ling Tian, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times. They seemed to be very interested in Ling Tian.
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Ling Tian ended his rambling politeness, turned to the topic, and said with a smile: "Professor Wang, I heard from the principal that you want me to help you read the words on a map? I don't know if you should bring it with you.
On the body?"
Professor Wang patted his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I was so happy when I was chatting with you that I almost forgot about the real thing. I brought it with me. Student Ling, please help me take a look."
Professor Wang nodded to Zhao Ruochen as he spoke. Zhao Ruochen immediately opened the briefcase next to him, flipped through it a few times, and carefully took out a sheepskin map. His expression was no less than holding a newly created atomic bomb. At this time,
, the two young people beside Professor Wang immediately stood up and spread out on both sides to guard, obviously not wanting anyone to get close and eavesdrop.
When Xiuer saw the sheepskin map that Professor Wang handed to Ling Tian, she smiled mischievously and joked: "Professor Wang, you carry this map with you, aren't you afraid that it is really a treasure map and will be robbed?"
Professor Wang laughed 'haha', pointed to the sheepskin map that Ling Tian was holding, and said confidently: "I also found this map by accident, and I have been studying it for a long time but still have no clue, so I asked classmate Ling to help me.
Look, if it’s really some kind of treasure map, it wouldn’t be a pity if someone robbed it. I can’t figure it out anyway, so it’s better to let people have the headache to study it.”
Ling Tian nodded in sudden realization. Not even Professor Wang had a clue about the map, and no one in China could find any clues. Even if it was really a treasure map, it was nothing more than useless paper; but Ling Tian also knew that this was the case.
What a valuable treasure map. Professor Wang will definitely protect it to the bitter end. This is the nature of the profession!
Ling Tian touched the sheepskin map, glanced at the words on the map and the color of the sheepskin, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Professor Wang is probably going to test Ling Tian? This map was probably made by Professor Wang himself.
?”
Professor Wang and Zhao Ruochen were stunned for a moment, and they both began to get excited and said in unison: "How can you see it?"
"The characters on this map are not ancient characters, but a mixture of Tibetan and hieroglyphs. With Professor Wang's attainments, it's not impossible to see them clearly?" Ling Tian put the sheepskin map on the table and sighed softly:
"More importantly, the sheepskin of parchment paper is usually treated with lime, the wool is sheared, softened with pumice, stretched and dried, and then cut. However, this sheepskin map may be in a hurry and there is no time to process it completely, so I
I also felt a faint lime smell and moisture.”
Genius, definitely a genius. Professor Wang and Zhao Ruochen were shocked at the same time, while Xiuer had a faint, proud smile on her face.
Professor Wang and Zhao Ruochen looked at Ling Tian in surprise. They wanted to say something but did not say anything. After a long time, Professor Wang's face became excited and happy, and he said: "Student Ling is indeed a talent. He has such vision at a young age."
, I’m really ashamed. Lao Wang really wanted to test Classmate Ling Tian’s skills to see if it was necessary to take out a real sheepskin map. Unexpectedly, Lao Wang’s trick was instantly shattered in front of Classmate Ling Tian. Lao Wang was really impressed.” Then
He said apologetically: "Although I have no clue about the real sheepskin map, I have an intuition that it has great value. That's why I am so cautious. I will test it with Student Ling first. I also ask for your forgiveness."
"
Ling Tian nodded. It seems that the real sheepskin map should have a strong mysterious color, which makes Professor Wang cherish and nervous so much.
"Then, where is the real sheepskin map?" Xiu'er asked this question for Ling Tian just right.
Professor Wang and Zhao Ruochen looked at each other for a few times and nodded to each other. Then Professor Wang took out a copper box from his clothes. After opening the box, a small sandalwood box appeared. After opening the small sandalwood box,
A piece of white cloth appeared in front of Ling Tian. Ling Tian was curious, could this be a real sheepskin map? No matter how it looked, it was just a piece of white cloth.
Xiu'er was originally drinking coffee, but seeing Professor Wang's caution, she couldn't help but become a little more curious, looking at what would appear inside with a solemn expression.
When the two young men saw Professor Wang taking out the white cloth, their expressions became more serious and vigilant, ready to go.
Professor Wang put the white cloth on the table and slowly opened it layer by layer. Ling Tian and Xiu'er took a closer look. There was a palm-sized sheepskin inside. The map was a bit small and the color was old. It seemed that it had some experience.
It's the end of the year
Professor Wang moved slowly in front of Ling Tian like a treasure. Zhao Ruochen also looked at Ling Tian with a solemn expression. Ling Tian glanced at Zhao Ruochen. Maybe she was looking forward to something more than Professor Wang.
The characters on the sheepskin map are a bit small. If it weren't for the branches and vines drawn on the map, Ling Tian would have thought it was just a small piece of dirty sheepskin.
Professor Wang then handed Ling Tian a magnifying glass. Ling Tian took it, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Could it be ancient writing?"
Professor Wang and Zhao Ruochen's faces immediately showed expressions of excitement and nervousness, and they said in unison again: "Do you see that it is ancient writing?"
"I happened to recognize one or two characters on the map." Ling Tian nodded and said calmly: "The ancient writing is just a legend. It is said that it was created by Emperor Xuanyuan and was called the "Book of Heaven" by later generations. Its shape is similar to oracle bone inscriptions.
Hejinwen is an ancient writing with a history of more than 5,000 years, but it only has more than 80 single characters, and only less than 50 characters have been handed down."
Professor Wang and the others listened carefully to Chu Tian's story, and Xiu'er's spoon also stopped stirring the coffee.
Ling Tian slowly placed the magnifying glass on the table and continued: "Perhaps the descendants of the Yellow Emperor did it for the convenience of migration. For thousands of years, the inheritance of the "Book of Heaven" and ancient texts was generally carried out only by handwriting.
, I think the characters on this sheepskin map are basically lost ancient characters, which is why Professor Wang is at a loss.”
Professor Wang nodded excitedly and said happily: "Classmate Ling, you are right. We spent a lot of effort to judge that it is an ancient text, and we also asked experts to interpret it. In half a year, we only managed to decipher a dozen characters."
It’s impossible to decipher the ancient characters. I didn’t expect that Student Ling could see it at a glance and even recognize one or two words in it. It’s really not easy.”
Ling Tian smiled and said humbly: "I just happened to recognize one or two characters on the map. Although there are only a few dozen ancient characters on this sheepskin map, if my guess is right, these dozens of characters will be this
The key to the sheepskin map is that these dozens of ancient characters cannot be deciphered. "This map" then sighed and said regretfully: "That is really a useless map. It is thrown on the street and no one wants it."
Zhao Ruochen couldn't wait to say: "Classmate Ling, if you spend a certain amount of time, can you interpret it? Of course, Professor Wang will not let you interpret it in vain. How about ten thousand yuan per word?"
Professor Wang looked at Ling Tian nervously again, hoping that Ling Tian could surprise him again
Xiu'er was secretly shocked. Ten thousand yuan per word is really easy to make, but it's also really hard to make money.
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment, smiled slightly, touched his nose, and said calmly: "No, I just read so many words, and I only recognized one or two. I'm afraid it's impossible to decipher them all."
Zhao Ruochen showed a disappointed look and sighed softly. However, it was expected that Ling Tian could not interpret it. Even countless experts and experts could not interpret the ancient characters. How could Ling Tian at such a young age be able to interpret them?
Woolen cloth
Professor Wang noticed Ling Tian's hesitant expression, and his heart moved, but he stopped speaking.
Ling Tian looked at Professor Wang apologetically and said sheepishly: "Professor Wang, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you."
Professor Wang smiled and said meaningfully: "Ling Tian, you have helped me a lot. At least you have reaffirmed its value. I really want someone to interpret it with me and go together.
Excavate and let the national treasures reappear in the world, if there are really treasures."
