    After admiring these precious porcelains, everyone was not idle and began to slowly pack them into boxes.

    However, Wang Guan and others were only responsible for packing the boxes and affixing seals.  As for the moving of things, it was Mr. Anderson's business.  After all, the basis of transaction is fairness and justice. Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand is the kingly way.  In other words, bartering requires that all the items to be traded can be exchanged.

    This is it now. Mr. Anderson is responsible for transporting the sealed items to China, then retrieving the metal pieces of the Ten Commandments of Moses, and then leaving the items behind. The transaction is completed.

    Anyway, after all the seals were affixed, Mr. Zhou and others returned directly to the capital.  As for Wang Guan, he had other important matters, so he went directly to the United States. After staying for a few days, he finally settled the matter properly.

    At this time, Wang Guan returned home with a full load. Even though he was a little tired, he still had a beaming expression on his face.

    "Hey, I made a lot of money again."

    At the airport, Yu Feibai passed by the container and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the warehouse of the Xiyi Museum is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to fit in it."

    "It doesn't matter if you can't fit it in." Wang Guan smiled and said cheerfully: "If it doesn't work, I might as well give it to the Forbidden City."

    "Hey, when did you become so generous?" Yu Feibai blinked and said, "You have to give it to me anyway, so you might as well give it to me."

    "I dare to give it to you, but do you dare to ask for it?"

    Wang Guan nodded and gestured: "The stone Buddha statues from the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties are national first-class cultural relics. If you don't explain their origins clearly, you may be jailed."

    "That's true" Yu Feibai also agreed, and said helplessly: "These things are like chicken ribs. They cannot be shown off openly. They are tasteless to eat and it is a pity to throw them away."

    "Even if I donate it to the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City may not stay." Wang Guan shook his head and said: "These things are not easy to keep. It is estimated that when their origins are studied clearly, they will definitely have to be returned or handed over to a specialized museum.  collection."

    "Um¡­¡­"

    Yu Feibai nodded lightly and stopped worrying about this matter. Instead, he asked curiously: "By the way, are there any top-quality things among these things?"

    "Yes." Wang Guan said with a smile: "If the items obtained during the trip to Australia tend to be from the Song Dynasty, then the items obtained from the trip to the United States are mostly items from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The porcelain is mainly from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. The calligraphy and painting are from the four families of the Wu family.  And the works of Dong Qichang and others. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a special collection."

    "It's not just that." Yu Feibai blinked and said, "I heard that there are also some fine gems and diamonds We are all brothers, you can't take it all for yourself, you have to share one or two with me."

    "What are you doing here?" Wang Guan was a little surprised: "I have something good coming soon, and it's normal for me to need diamonds to support the scene. Why do you want this thing?"

    "Nonsense, I blame you." Yu Feibai said angrily: "Just get married when you get married, why bother to make the city full of trouble, make everyone know about it, and then implicate me. It's really a fire at the city gate, which will affect the fish in the pond."

    "Tch, with or without me. You will have this day sooner or later." Wang Guan smiled: "Congratulations, congratulations."

    "Don't worry, it won't be that fast." Yu Feibai said excitedly: "We have to wait until next year."

    "sucker Punch¡­¡­"

    Wang Guan laughed, and Yu Feibai became angry.  Amidst the commotion, the container was loaded onto the truck and headed directly towards the Xiyi Museum.

    The two of them naturally followed and soon arrived at the backyard of the museum.  at the same time.  There were also many people waiting in the courtyard and saw the truck coming.  Quickly and carefully unload the box.  After working for more than half an hour, the spacious underground warehouse of Xiyi Museum was filled with boxes of various sizes.

    "open to take a look."

    At the right time, under Mr. Qian¡¯s signal, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai broke the seals of several large boxes, and then pried open the lids, revealing the stone Buddha statues inside.

    "Good stuff."

    For a moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but admire him.

    We must also admit that ancient Buddhist thought must be very negative and ignorant in modern eyes.  Moreover, the monks are not engaged in production, but they own many fields and do not even need to pay taxes. From a modern point of view, this simply hinders economic development and exploits the broad masses of the people, and must be criticized.

    However, it cannot be denied that the existence of religion has a role in promoting traditional Chinese culture, especially architecture, painting, carving, music and other arts.  For example, although the current stone carvings of Buddha statues also represent religious images such as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, their shapes are based on real people.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why, whether it¡¯s an immortal or a Buddha, he should be a great person.From above, it is only right to look down on all living beings with great indifference, but from generation to generation, it has become more and more secular.

    Originally, most of the Buddhist statues introduced to China from India were ferocious and terrifying. However, after entering China, they unknowingly changed and became more amiable, gentle, and touching.

    The reason is nothing more than the world's respect for truth, goodness and beauty.  What kind of shape people think is beautiful, they will naturally carve it out according to their own wishes.

    Buddhist statues show a tranquil, free and easy, elegant and wise demeanor. In fact, they concentrated on the beautiful hopes and ideals of people at that time, and were the highest standard of beauty pursued and yearned for by the people at that time.  In the view of Wang Guan and others, even if the times are changing and aesthetics are changing, this pursuit and yearning are eternal.

    "Hey, why is there a big turtle?"

    At the same time, Yu Feibai was a little surprised when he saw the existence of Bi Xi in a big box.

    "What big turtle?"

    For a moment, everyone¡¯s attention also shifted, and then at Yu Feibai¡¯s signal, they also saw Bixi shrinking his head and legs, and suddenly became a little more curious.

    "This is Ba Xia!"

    Since these days, Mr. Zhou and several other Forbidden City experts have been staying at the Xiyi Museum to organize things, and they are naturally among them at this time.  After seeing Bixi, Mr. Zhou also approached and looked at it, touching the stone tablet to study it.

    "Ba Xia?"

    At the right time, Yu Feibai said in surprise: "It's the one who is one of the nine sons of Longsheng."

    "That's right, it's also called Bixi."

    Mr. Zhou nodded and explained: "It looks like a turtle and likes to bear heavy loads. If there is a turtle under the monument, it must be it. As for this monument, it is a monument of divine achievements and virtues. It usually records the achievements of emperors and generals"

    "pity."

    After looking at it for a moment, Mr. Zhou shook his head and said: "Due to poor preservation and damage from wind and rain, the words on the stele have become very blurry and even peeled off. I don't know what was engraved on it."

    "No matter what it is engraved on, it's not of much value." Yu Feibai said casually: "Such things can be seen everywhere. I really don't understand why you brought it back and it occupied a quota."

    "I must have a reason."

    While speaking, Wang Guan smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you still remember that piece of tortoise shell?"

    "Huh?" Mr. Zhou was startled and asked in astonishment: "Is that a piece of tortoise shell with lines and dots on its back? As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered it. It seems that you took it back at that time."

    "That's right." Wang Jian nodded and admitted that such a gadget was equivalent to flirting with him. Even if he took it, Mr. Anderson would not take it seriously and had no intention of interfering at all.

    "What tortoise shell pieces?"

    At the same time, Yu Feibai said inexplicably: "There seems to be something we don't know about."

    "It's actually nothing."

    Mr. Zhou explained and let everyone understand the origin of the tortoise shell pieces.  At this time, Wang Guan also brought things over from the warehouse and let everyone look at them carefully.

    "Even if the lines and dots on the tortoise shell might be astrological charts, isn't that so strange?"

    After watching it, Yu Feibai was still very puzzled: "Besides, there is no way to connect such a thing with Ba Xia no matter how you look at it."

    "There is no contact now, but we will be in contact later." Wang Guan said with a smile. Suddenly, he took out a big hammer from nowhere, and it looked like he was going to smash Bixi.

    "No."

    At this moment, under the stunned gazes of everyone, Wang Guanzhen swung the big hammer, and then smashed Huashan Mountain with force, more like a blow to the head, and smashed it directly towards the top of the stone tablet.

    "boom."

    There was a muffled sound, which was a bit harsh. Everyone took two steps back unconsciously, and then looked at the stone monument again. They saw that due to Wang Guan's violent blow, large cracks had appeared on the stone monument.

    However, no one had any intention of stopping him. After all, they also understood Wang Guan's temperament and knew that he would never do such a rough thing if he was not completely sure.

    Facts speak louder than words, and everyone¡¯s guess is correct.

    After discovering that the monument was cracked, Wang Guan did not give up. Instead, he intensified his efforts and started beating the monument with a big hammer again.  One strike to the left, one to the right. This felt unsatisfactory, so I simply attacked from the front and back again.  Wang Guan didn't find it strenuous at all after knocking on the front, back, left, and right, but achieved remarkable results.

    Under the violent beating, the cracks on the stone tablet became larger and larger, like spider webs covering the body of the tablet, and then large piecesPieces of the block also fell down.

    Even under such circumstances, the people nearby also saw some clues.  After the stone fragments peeled off, one could vaguely see wisps of dark luster floating out.  It seems that there is something in the monument, or that the stone pieces on the monument are just a protective layer, but there are actually other objects hidden in the monument.

    After a while, everyone can be convinced of this.  After the stone flakes almost peeled off, Wang Guan immediately put down the big hammer and took a towel to wipe it.

    At the same time, everyone could see very clearly. As Wang Guan wiped, the dark luster became brighter. Under the light, a bright yellow light appeared under everyone's eyes.

    "Gold!"

    Seeing the familiar light, Yu Feibai blurted out and couldn't help but marvel.

    At the right time, even well-informed people like Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhou were inevitably a little surprised.  Because this is not just pure gold, but also a golden monument, a golden monument made of gold
