Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 894 Unexpected Clues
"It's very shocking, especially the feeling when looking at your own severed head, which most people can't experience." Mary said about the last time she went to the wax museum to see the wax figure of her own head.
"Seeing that head, I can feel the changes in time and the world. I can even say that I understand the changes in the world better than anyone else. Even if it makes me feel that I am old, it is worth it."
"For us, whether we grow old or not is determined by the mind, not the body." Although Joan of Arc had always criticized Mary, at this time she seriously imparted her experience.
"You should work hard to make yourself younger. For example, you should recognize that the age of your body is the age of your heart. At the same time, you should maintain your interest in all new things around you. This is very important to us."
"Of course I know, so I was just depressed for a day or two and then completely adjusted my mood. At the same time, I felt more lucky, so I naturally adjusted my mentality at this time."
Marie Antoinette had a relieved smile on her face. If placed in Buddhism, it can be said that he has now completely enlightened and is very satisfied with everything now.
"By the way, here's something you need to take a look at. I was at a flea market after a trip to London and bought some stuff, and there was a being among them that I couldn't understand at all."
"There are not many things you don't recognize." After hearing what the other party said, Liang En felt that it was a bit beyond his expectations, because Mary's level of identification was definitely not low, and there were not many things she didn't recognize.
Especially in this internet age, they have easy access to vast amounts of information, so something that remains unrecognized in this context is definitely a rare object.
This was indeed the case. Liang En was really stunned when Mary took out a palm-sized statue from the second floor of the room. Because he has indeed never seen anything like what Mary is holding now.
This thing is a human figure carved from mutton-fat jade, but its style is very weird, combining the dual styles of ancient Chinese and nomadic peoples.
If Liang En had not been able to confirm that this was indeed an ancient item, he would have definitely thought that it was a modern invention, because this style was completely inconsistent with historical conditions.
As a traditional nomadic people, the Huns preferred ornaments made of precious metals such as gold or silver. Even under the influence of the southern Han people at that time, they were unlikely to use jade pendants.
After all, things like jade pendants are too fragile. For those people on horseback, there is no difference if I throw the money directly on the grassland with such a fragile thing.
More importantly, even if there are some northern nomads who like this kind of thing, they can directly rob it or obtain it through trade. There is no need to find someone to make it yourself.
Therefore, something like this carving comes from China, but the style is obviously nomadic, which is obviously a bit weird, from various angles.
"Do you know the origin of this thing?" Liang En asked Mary after looking at the statue, which was obviously carved from the highest quality suet white jade.
"I don't know, this is just something I bought from the flea market." Mary shook her head and said. "But that store mainly buys all kinds of goods from Russia."
"Russia, this is possible. After all, the Far East was the territory of the nomadic people in northern China, so it is more reasonable for such a thing to appear." Liang En nodded seriously.
"But it's a bit troublesome to know the specific location. If you put it to ordinary people, there is definitely no way. Fortunately, for me, I only need one card to solve these problems."
After finishing speaking, Liang En used a [Appraisal (N)], and with the use of the card, a large amount of data appeared in front of Liang En, and this information made him frown.
[There is no doubt that the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were two countries that had coexisted for a long time, and during the long confrontation, their cultures also merged to a certain extent.
This integration is reflected in all aspects. For example, for the Han Dynasty, many customs in the north came from ethnic minorities, and the Huns also began to gradually become Chinese.
As for why this situation occurs, it has to do with the nationals flowing into the other country. This is also what national integration in history really looks like.
This is the case with this jade pendant. It was made by a jade craftsman from the Han Dynasty in the south and once decorated the belt of a Hun noble. 】
This explanation clearly explains why this thing seems to be made with Han Dynasty craftsmanship, but its style is obviously imitating the traditional gold jewelry of the Xiongnu.
"This should be a wealthy Hun noble. After all, it is very difficult to get such authentic Chinese decorations in the Huns. Only those nobles have enough wealth to do this."
After reading the information obtained from the jade plaque through the cards, Liang En raised his head and told the two ladies in front of him the story behind the jade plaque.
Just as everyone had guessed, this jade medal did come from the intersection of two civilizations, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. This naturally aroused Liang En's interest.
After all, this kind of cultural fusion is a very rare situation, so after seeing this thing, they all had a desire to get to the bottom of it.
Unlike Marie Antoinette who is just a tourist in the UK, Liang En has a lot of power in the UK and can fully support this kind of investigation.
After communicating with friends from Golden Dawn, many people were intrigued by Liang En's discovery and expressed their willingness to devote their energy to help find it.
I have to say that these members of the Golden Dawn were indeed very fast at finding things on their own territory. They obtained a lot of valuable information in just one night.
According to the information, this item came from the Far East of Russia. It was accidentally found near the foundation by a group of workers while repairing roads decades ago. It was then sold to London by a descendant of one of the workers through a middleman.
As for the more detailed content, especially the information related to the location where this item was found, it has completely disappeared. After all, decades have passed, so most of the information has not been preserved.
This is really a very regrettable thing, because it means that to find out the truth, you must go to the scene to investigate, which means that you will have to face a somewhat long journey next.
But this is not a bad thing, at least for Liang En, there is nothing happening recently and he can take advantage of this time to travel to a country full of exotic customs.
Especially now that the weather is autumn, which is a very suitable season for traveling, especially traveling to Eastern Europe, it is difficult for people to just stay at home, especially for people who have money and time.
"Of course I want to go to Russia for a tour. Anyway, I don't have much to do now." She was really looking forward to this trip. After all, she had never been to this country before.
"I believe you will eventually be able to find the treasure. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find it. After all, the route we planned this time will allow us to fully experience the customs of the largest country in the world."
