    "Where is the Land of Demons?" Meng Zitao did not expect that there was any place in Egypt called this name.

    "It's not clear yet. Judging from the deciphered content, it may be related to Apophis." Zheng Anzhi replied.

    Meng Zitao thought for a while: "That demon that represents chaos and death?"

    In Egyptian mythology, when the universe originated, the gods lived in the form of snakes in the primitive ocean, and the snakes became the incarnation of everything in the primitive ocean.

    According to the ancient Egyptian cosmology, the sun god returned to the original ocean of the god "Nun" after sunset.  The process after sunset is "returning to the belly of a giant snake" to symbolize the trajectory of the sun at night, until the sun god "Ra" is reborn from the east at sunrise.

    The "Apophis" snake, which represents the dark forces of nature, is the old enemy of the sun god "Ra". The struggle between the two sides is particularly fierce when the sun sets in the west and the sun rises in the east.  According to records in the amduat of the New Kingdom, the sun god must undergo a twelve-hour night flight after sunset until he is reborn in the eastern sky the next day.

    "Apophis" tries to swallow the sun god into his belly every day to return the universe to its original chaos and darkness, but every time "Apophis"'s plan is defeated by the spells of the gods.  In this way "Apophis" became an enemy of the creative order, a symbol of chaos and death.

    "Yes, that's him."

    Zheng Anzhi said: "However, there is still a part of the content that has not been deciphered. What it means is still unknown. In addition, so far, the pronunciation of ancient Egyptian characters is just speculation. Egyptologists can only understand the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.  meaning, but you cannot speak ancient Egyptian like the ancient Egyptians, and there is no guarantee whether the meaning is correct or not. Decrypting all the characters may be a long process."

    Having said this, Zheng Anzhi got up and took the faxed information and handed it to Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao was confused about the hieroglyphics on the document, so he could only memorize them all and prepare to take the time to see if he could decipher them.

    After leaving the master, Meng Zitao drove to the museum. As soon as he arrived at his office, Qian Songyuan came over.

    Qian Songyuan said: "Director, I got news from a friend that there will be an internal exchange meeting in Jiangcheng on the 26th. It is said that there are many good things on it, and there is even an osmanthus cup."

    "Blue and white or five colors?" Meng Zitao asked quickly. The Osmanthus Cup is the hardest to find among the twelve five-color Flower God Cups. Originally, he could put his hope in Pony King, but now there is no Pony King.  After hearing the news, he could only think of other ways.

    "Colorful." Qian Songyuan took out a photo and handed it to Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao took it and saw that it was indeed a five-color osmanthus cup. Judging from the photos, it had specific and typical characteristics of an authentic product. However, for him, the authenticity could only be determined by seeing it in person. There were really too many crooked ways in this industry.  It¡¯s hard to guard against.

    "What is the internal communication meeting about?" Meng Zitao raised his head and asked.

    Qian Songyuan said: "I learned about it when communicating with friends on our website. This internal exchange meeting is better than the black market auction, but the items on it are not asked about their origins. As long as they are not particularly scams, they can be auctioned.  .The price will be cheaper than in the market.¡±

    Meng Zitao nodded slightly. He thought about it and said, "If you want to go, you must have an invitation, right?"

    Qian Songyuan said: "Yes, if you plan to go, I will ask a friend to help you prepare the invitation, and you can just contact him when you get there."

    Meng Zitao said: "Okay, then help me contact your friend, I will go."

    "Okay, I'll contact him shortly." Qian Songyuan said with a smile: "By the way, curator, I have collected several collections in the past few days. Do you want to go and take a look now?"

    "Oh, where did it come from?" Meng Zitao was very interested.

    "Actually, they are all transactions on the website." Qian Songyuan rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed, because originally he was not in favor of setting up a member communication section on the website. He felt that it was of little significance and would also involve energy, but  The current effect is actually so good, which is completely beyond his expectation.

    Qian Songyuan's thoughts are still somewhat old-school, and it is understandable that he does not fully understand the effects brought by the website. Meng Zitao did not care about this and said with a smile: "The effect is good, keep up the good work, and there is no need to watch it. With you and  The expert team is checking it, and I don¡¯t think there is a problem.¡±

    Meng Zitao has invited several well-known experts in the industry to form the museum's expert team this time, such as Wang Zhixuan, Lu Xiuqi and others. With these experts to check, he is basically not worried that there will be problems with the appraisal.

      Moreover, for transactions on the website, you first inspect the goods and then pay. If there is any problem, you can return it or report it on the website. The cost of selling fakes is very high for sellers, and generally there will be no problems.

    In line with the principle of trusting people without suspicion and trusting people with employment, Meng Zitao believed in Qian Songyuan's vision. Of course, this did not mean that he would let it go. He would still go to the vault to check from time to time every month.

    Next, Meng Zitao discussed the museum¡¯s development plan with Qian Songyuan, and then Qian Songyuan resigned from his job.

    Now that the operation of the museum is on track, Meng Zitao has nothing to do after taking care of some small things.  After thinking about it, he planned to go to the Cultural Street where the museum was located.

    Many antique shops have opened on Cultural Street, some are new, but most of them have been moved from various places in Ling City.

    Under the leadership of the Management Committee, Cultural Street is holding discount activities. It is Sunday and there are many tourists in Cultural Street.

    Meng Zitao was walking on the street, thinking that this place was originally a remote wasteland, but now it is gradually becoming more prosperous, and he felt a faint sense of pride in his heart.

    However, although the Cultural Street seems to have good momentum, there are also many unsatisfactory places, such as too few places to eat.

    When Chinese people travel, eating is indispensable. If the cultural street wants to become bigger, it is best to have a place nearby where you can taste delicious food.

    Meng Zitao thought about it and discussed it with the city to see if there was such a development plan. If it didn't work, he would fund it himself.  He now has a lot of bonuses in his hands. Instead of just leaving them, he might as well use them to develop his business and make money make money.

    Meng Zitao went to several shops of acquaintances to keep in touch with each other and asked everyone about their difficulties and opinions. By working together, everyone could think more comprehensively than he could on his own.

    With the advice from several store owners, Meng Zitao walked into another antique store.

    Shopkeeper Xia, who was receiving guests, saw Meng Zitao coming in and greeted him with a smile.

    Meng Zitao was polite and saw that Shopkeeper Xia was holding a glass with a transparent liquid inside. He walked over curiously. It turned out that Shopkeeper Xia was preparing to use the "Purple Gas from the East" method to identify  A rosewood box.

    Meng Zitao glanced at the box a few times, and then saw Shopkeeper Xia scraping some red sandalwood powder from a relatively hidden part of the box and putting it into the wine glass.

    In an instant, the liquor in the cup began to react, and the purple mist swirled fiercely.

    Shopkeeper Xia had a smile on his face, but he heard Meng Zitao say: "Shopkeeper Xia, I suggest you take some more powder from the place where you scraped just now, and do a comparative experiment."

    The seller next to him was slightly startled and glared at Meng Zitao: "This is red sandalwood. It's such a precious thing. It's already distressing for me to let him shave it once, but he actually had to shave it twice. I'm really using someone else's."  This thing is not a thing! If you don¡¯t want to buy it, just tell me earlier, why are you wasting my time!¡±

    The seller scolded him, ignored him, took the box and left.

    Shopkeeper Xia was a little stunned and looked at Meng Zitao: "Director Meng, what's going on?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "It's normal. Nowadays, many people like to use the method of 'Purple Air from the East' to verify whether it is real red sandalwood. So some unscrupulous sellers use special methods to press red sandalwood powder on top of the fakes."  , what you get when scraping like this is real red sandalwood powder, and you will be fooled if you don¡¯t pay attention.¡±

    Shopkeeper Xia suddenly realized it, and then said fearfully: "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have got a slap in the eye."

    Meng Zitao waved his hand and showed modesty.

    Shopkeeper Xia invited Meng Zitao to take a seat and shouted to the cashier at the door: "Juanzi, come and pour a cup of tea for Director Meng."

    Immediately, a delicate and charming young woman came over and served Meng Zitao a cup of tea.

    Meng Zitao was a little strange. Shopkeeper Xia's store was not big, and with his personality it was unlikely that he would hire another cashier. But he did, and she was a beautiful woman. This had to arouse people's imagination.

    Perhaps seeing Meng Zitao's doubts, Shopkeeper Xia took the initiative to explain: "Juanzi is the daughter-in-law of my cousin from my hometown, but my nephew is not lucky. He only got married a few months ago. He drank too much and suffered heavy stomach bleeding.  , because she was drunk, she collapsed on the roadside at night and no one found her. By the time she was discovered, she was already hopeless. My cousin¡¯s family was not in an easy situation. Some time ago, he asked me to find a job for her, so I asked her to work there first.  I¡¯ll make do with it for a while.¡±

    Shopkeeper Xia's explanation should be the truth, but Meng Zitao could read some abnormal feelings from the way he looked at Juanzi. Could it be that the two of them were getting along in private?  Or maybe Shopkeeper Xia has unrequited love. After all, he is old and not handsome, so Juanzi is more likely to dislike him.

    No matter what the situation was, Meng Zitao was quite speechless towards Shopkeeper Xia. He obviously had a happy family in the eyes of outsiders, so why did he do this?

    However, the next detail made Meng Zitao feel that something was not normal. When he carefully observed Shopkeeper Xia's expression and performance, his heart skipped a beat.

    Meng Zitao seemed to be normal on the surface. As before, he asked Shopkeeper Xia about the difficulties he was encountering and his suggestions for the development of Cultural Street, and then stood up to leave.

    After walking out of Shopkeeper Xia¡¯s shop, Meng Zitao called Wang Zhixuan and asked him to make an appointment with Shopkeeper Xia as soon as possible (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It is also more likely that his wife will not like him.
