C183 It Turned out to be a Silk Road Treasure

Of course, Jiao Lan Yun wouldn't tell the old man how she coaxed him to take the disc from Wan Laifu. Naturally, in front of Fan Wenbin, the old flat-head would not tell him how he used the beauty trick. Because, he felt that it was a bit shameful.

After listening to Old Ping's words, which were both true and false, Fan Wenbin secretly sighed that he had rich experience in the world of martial arts. At the same time that he was very capable in handling matters, a wave of excitement naturally surged in his heart as dust fell to the ground. That rather mysterious disk, after a few twists and turns, had finally been obtained.

So, he raised the wine cup, laughed loudly, and said very sincerely and clearly, "Old classmate, you indeed have some skill. I didn't expect you to be so capable, to find me so quickly. It must have been hard on you. Come, let me toast you.

After finishing the cup, the old man raised his head and wiped the corner of his mouth. He said with a proud tone," I've been in the society for more than thirty years. This small matter that you, Old Fan, have entrusted me with, isn't it just a piece of cake? "

As he spoke, he took out the black disc from his pocket and handed it over. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Old Fan, take a look. Is it this thing? Don't let that kid surnamed Wan fool us.

At this time, Old Bighead had yet to realize the true value of this disc. A few days later, when he was caught by the police and interrogated severely, he realized that the disk Fan Wenbin paid him to find was actually a very valuable cultural relic from the ancient Silk Road.

Fan Wenbin took the disk and looked at it very carefully. Actually, it was also his first time seeing this thing. Whether it was real or fake, he could not tell. According to Wang Jianguo's description, he turned it over and over and looked at it seriously for a while. He nodded and said, "It's this thing. "

Later, he took this black and unusual disc to Yao Guanqun's house on a Saturday afternoon. He wanted this expert who studied the Ancient Silk Road to take a look personally. Was this thing a cultural relic or not?

In the few days after winter, although it was sunny and sunny every day, the cold wind was sharp and cold. Yao Guanqun was very depressed. It could be said that he was extremely depressed. That afternoon, when Fan Wenbin walked in, he was sitting alone by the stove, drinking tea and thinking about something.

The dispute with his ex-wife, Zhang Yuqin, was the main reason why Yao Guanqun was depressed. Although the two of them had been divorced for a long time, the division of property had never been cleaned up, and they had been muddle-headed. This caused Zhang Yuqin to frequently come to the house to cause trouble.

At this moment, seeing Fan Wenbin walk in with a smile, Yao Guanqun nodded slightly as a greeting and continued to think about his worries. This morning, taking advantage of the weekend's free time, Zhang Yuqin came to cause trouble again, making Yao Guanqun so angry that he quarreled with her. Until now, his anger had not completely dissipated and his expression was very gloomy.

Seeing this, Fan Wenbin was slightly startled in his heart. After a moment, he asked with a smile, "Teacher Yao. Did someone anger you?" Then, he placed the meat dishes on the stove and took out a bottle of good wine, saying, "Teacher Yao, I have nothing to do today. Why are you two drinking a few cups to relieve your boredom?"

He knew that Yao Guanqun also liked drinking. Even though he was old, this hobby of his. . . He never changed it. On the contrary, his alcohol tolerance was getting higher and higher. When he came to the Yao residence, He bought a roast chicken and a few exquisite side dishes. He wanted to drink with the pig ears, peanuts, and other dishes. He talked about whether the disk was a cultural relic or not.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yao Guanqun's mood gradually became better. He took the disk and looked at it carefully. At first, his expression was very calm, but the more he looked, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Little Fan, this is a cultural artifact, a very valuable treasure. "

As an expert who researched the Ancient Silk Road, Yao Guanqun had seen many cultural relics of various sizes, and he was very clear about their value. However, this disk actually shocked him greatly. He didn't expect that there would be such an archeological cultural relic in Da An.

After washing away the dirt on the surface of the plate, a faint yellow light appeared on the round plate. It was a silver plate with gold plated on it. There were many different kinds of patterns on the plate, especially the human and beast unification pattern in the middle of the plate, which attracted a lot of attention from Yao Guanqun.

Listening to Yao Guanqun's words. . . When he said this and saw that his expression was very serious, Fan Wenbin was immediately delighted in his heart. He thought to himself that it was indeed a treasure. Hence, putting down the wine cup in his hand, he hurriedly moved closer to Fan Wenbin's side and also carefully looked at it.

The diameter of the silver plate was about 30 centimeters. It was round, curled lips, thick walls, thick feet. It was once golden, but most of it had already fallen off. The plate was full of carvings and patterns. The carvings were divided into three rings. The outer rings had sixteen sets of interconnected grape curly grass patterns. They were arranged evenly and orderly, and there were birds and other animals decorating them.

The middle ring was smaller in size and was in a ring-shaped shape. There were 12 heads in the inner circle, and there were birds and other animals in the middle of the heads. The center part was a slightly protruding circle. It seemed to be a high floatation sculpture made of silver pieces that were embedded in the center. It was very eye-catching.

The picture was of a young man sitting on the back of a lion-type ferocious beast. He had curly hair, no beard, a handsome face, and a healthy body. His upper body was exposed, and his abdomen was covered with a scarf. The corner of the towel was wrapped around his elbows, and he leaned to his side. At first glance, he didn't look like a Chinaman.

The man held a pair of staves on his shoulders with his right hand, and the staves were decorated with pinecone. His posture was elegant, and his expression was casual. The ferocious beast sitting next to him raised its head and opened its mouth. Its appearance was fierce and ferocious, and the mane under its neck was dense like a lion. Its body was covered in round spots and looked like a leopard. The entire pattern appeared to be in the realm of unification between man and beast. It was vivid and lifelike, and it had both shape and spirit.

"This silver plate might be a product of the period of the Eastern Roman Empire. " Yao Guanqun carefully looked at the silver plate and pointed at a line of blurry letters under the pattern. He said thoughtfully, "The period of the Eastern Roman Empire, which is the period between the 4th and the 5th A. D. This period is equivalent to the period of Wei Jin and Nan Bei Chao in our country. "

As soon as the topic of the ancient Silk Road was mentioned, Yao Guanqun suddenly opened his mouth. His interest couldn't help but become very high. He talked endlessly and the more he talked, the happier he was. His hands danced and his feet stepped on it. He shook his head happily.

"In the early days of the Eastern Roman Empire, it has always maintained a very friendly diplomatic relationship with the Eastern China. According to the records of the Book of Wei, the Roman Imperial Court had once sent envoys three times to China with a large number of precious cultural relics. "

Yao Guanqun was still very serious as he looked at the Gilded Disc, and he made his own deductions with confidence and assurance. "Perhaps this silver disc was the tribute left behind at the Yellow River's ancient ferry when they passed through Daan to Luoyang. Today, you found it.

Seeing Fan Wenbin's mouth half-open and his face full of surprise and disbelief, Yao Guanqun smiled slightly and said, "Lil Fan, look. The young man holding the walking stick and leaning on the lion leopard is a very typical European. "

As he spoke, he came to a huge map of the Silk Road hanging on the wall and confidently said, "Lil Fan, look. This ancient map of the Silk Road will understand. "

This was a map of the ancient Silk Road that he had spent a lot of effort to draw up, with many towns and towns along the way marked in red. He set off from Luoyang, the east side of the Silk Road. He headed west like a long snake, winding and winding, all the way to Rome, which was at the western end of the Silk Road, crossing the two continents of Europe and Asia.

Luoyang - Chang'an - Daan - Touloufan - Urumaqi - Hollogosi - Aramatu - Tuskan - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Astrikhan - Sochi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi - Tuskoi -

Finally, Yao Guanqun's right index finger landed heavily on the spot marked with the word "Dalan. " With a proud tone, he said loudly, "Dalan is a must-pass for the Silk Road, and it is also a must-pass for the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire to go to Luoyang. " What? Yao Guanqun asked in a low voice. It's a must-pass for the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire, Yao Guanqun said proudly, Dalan, a must-pass for the Silk Road, and a must-pass for the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire to go to Luoyang. It's a must-pass for the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire to go to Luoyang, a must-pass for the envoys of the Roman Empire to go to Luoyang.

"The appearance of this silver plate is evidence of the cultural exchange between the Eastern and Western countries. It's very important. " As he spoke, his eyes were full of vigor as he stared at Fan Wenbin and said excitedly, Da An is a must-pass for the Silk Road, and it's also a must-pass for the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire to go to Luoyang. He said, "Little Fan, the value of this silver plate is very high. "

Seeing that Yao Guanqun was very excited, and his face was slightly flushed with excitement, Fan Wenbin immediately felt very proud. He laughed loudly and said, "Teacher Yao, after you say it, I understand. This disk is indeed a priceless treasure.

Then, he sighed heavily in his heart. He thought that it was fortunate that Wang Jianguo told him about it. Otherwise, if Wan Laifu, that silly brat, took it away, wouldn't he sell it as scrap metal? Then, he felt proud and proud of his foresight.

After a while, he looked at the old Gilded Silver Plate in his hand, especially the European youth with curly hair in the center. Yao Guanqun couldn't help but sigh and say faintly, "The reason why this silver plate can appear at the Yellow River is because of the passage of time. Perhaps. . . There is also a very interesting story behind this. What about it?

In this very ancient and mysterious land of Daan, many legendary stories had happened since ancient times, ranging from the great to the great change of dynasties, to the minor conflicts in the neighborhood. There was no end to it. Every piece of unearthed cultural relics, regardless of size, had a very unique and legendary story hidden within them.

The next day after Fan Wenbin left, Yao Guanqun carried an extremely strong curiosity and started to investigate the origins of this ancient Roman Gilded Disc. After searching through all the information that could be gathered and visiting many people, he pushed aside the layers of historical fog that shrouded the silver disc and saw a trace of the dawn of the cultural exchange between East and West at that time.

In the autumn of more than 1,700 years ago, when the leaves on both sides of the Yellow River gradually turned yellow, a mighty camel team crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Daan County under the bright sun. At that time, many Daan people had never seen foreigners, especially European people who had deep eyes.

For a moment, this group of foreign people, who were dressed very brightly and were whispering, attracted the attention of the people in Da An County. Among them was a tall girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was coquettish and elegant. With every gesture she made, she looked like a royal princess and attracted the attention of the crowd.

After an introduction by a Chinese translator, Boss Wang of Yellow River Inn finally understood that this group of foreigners came from a place called Rome. It was the diplomatic team sent by the Roman Emperor to Luoyang. At that time, many people called this distant western Rome Great Qin.

As such, under Boss Wang's warm greetings, the camel team entered Yellow River Inn. They stayed there for a few days. When the emissaries from the west saw that Da An was on the verge of rolling over the Yellow River, they were extremely beautiful. Especially the Black Orchid Mountain in the autumn, the lush vegetation was extremely beautiful and beautiful. It was very different from the scenery in the Western Regions. They stopped and could not bear to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, the merchant group also brought along all sorts of items. They placed them on the streets, and the locals took out silk, porcelain, and various delicacies to trade with them. For a moment, many people moved when they heard the news. They swarmed into Da An, and it was very lively during the day and night.

Every time night fell, the men and women of the caravan would play pipa and play pipa. They would play pipa and dance, and they would sing and dance. It was very beautiful, and it was an eye-opener for many locals of Da An. The arrival of the Roman merchant group had given the ancient land of Daan a moment of peace and laughter.

Who knew that this temporary peace and joy would soon be restored? On a night with a misty moon, it was completely destroyed. A group of masked bandits with blades in their hands barged into the Yellow River Inn, wanting to rob this group of merchant caravans from the west. In their eyes, this group of foreigners was too rich, worth the risk to rob.

The sound of fighting in the middle of the night could be heard throughout the night sky of Da An. Not only did this group of masked bandits want to steal the jewelry and gold coins, but they also aimed their gazes at the pretty foreign women, especially the blonde beauty who looked like a princess called Nutilia.

This fierce battle that happened so suddenly in the middle of the night lasted for a very short period of time. It ended. The bandits had come prepared and robbed some of the treasures that they thought were precious. At the same time that they had injured a few foreign merchants, a very fierce bandit leader knocked out the intensely resisting Nutilia. He took her to a patch of grass by the Yellow River.

Just as the bandit leader was about to commit an evil act, a black shadow descended from the sky, punched and kicked three times, beating her away, saving her, and then hiding her in her own house. It was only two days later, when she saw that nothing had happened, that she was sent back to Yellow River Inn.

Boss Wang recognized this very brave young man. He was called Wang Changtai. He was his cousin. In order to thank her for saving her life, Nutilia had given him a lot of gold and silver coins. Before they parted ways. . . She also gave a gold and silver plate that she carried with her to King Changtai. He even said that when he returned from Luoyang. . . He would bring Wang Changtai with him to Rome.

However, a year later, when the group of Roman merchants came to Da An again, they found out that not long after they left, the bandits rushed in in in broad daylight to take revenge, killed Wang Changtai's entire family, and took the gold and silver coins Numilia gave them before escaping.

In the cold and lonely afterglow of the evening, they stood. In front of the tomb of the benefactor by the Yellow River, Nutilia placed a lot of fresh flowers on the tomb. She was very sad and cried once again. She had no choice but to turn her head back three times, step by step, and embark on the long journey back to her hometown, Rome. This young man called Wang Changtai, who was full of the spirit of sacrifice, she might not be able to forget him for the rest of her life.

This was the story of this ancient Roman Gilded Silver Plate. When Yao Guanqun spent a lot of time and effort to find clues about this story from various versions of Da An County Chronicles, he only had a few short sentences.

"More than 1700 years ago, when Wei Jin and Nan Bei Chao arrived, there was an ancient Roman messenger merchant group that went to Luoyang and passed through Daan to have a peaceful trade with the local people. After that, they were robbed. Under the protection of a young man named Wang Changtai, they had to leave in a hurry.

According to this clue, Yao Guanqun braved the wind and snow as he walked through the streets and alleys, visiting many people. Only then did he gradually learn that this young man called Wang Changtai was a descendant of his clan. Finally, he figured out the legendary origin of this ancient Roman Gilded Silver Plate.

An old man who seemed to be in his 70s and seemed to be very old surnamed Wang told Yao Guanqun that his ancestors had opened a Yellow River Inn in Da An County for generations. Later, in the 50s of the last century, when the public and private camps were set up, the inn was handed over to the people's government. The address was the current location of the Black Orchid Hotel.

This old man surnamed Wang also said that this story was something he heard from the Wang family's ancestors. The bandits killed Wang Changtai's entire family, and they also stole a lot of gold and silver coins. However, when they buried Wang Changtai, they discovered that this very brave young man was carrying a blood-stained silver plate in his arms.

At that time, Yellow River Inn's Boss Wang, who was his ancestor, recognized it at a glance. This silver plate was the Roman woman called Nutilia. She gave it to King Changtai as a souvenir to thank him for saving her life. It seemed that in order to protect this silver plate, King Changtai had fought a life and death battle with the bandits and was eventually killed by them.

As a result, everyone carried extremely moved emotions. They buried Wang Changtai's corpse along with the silver plate in his arms, burying it in a protruding area by the Yellow River. That was also the place where King Changtai had bravely saved the Roman girl, Nutilia, despite his own safety.

After listening to this very ancient and legendary story, Yao Guanqun had a very complicated feeling. On a cold windy afternoon, he made a trip to the Yellow River. After asking Ning Peng, he came to the place where Wan Laifu had unearthed the ancient Roman Gilded Silver Plate. He borrowed a shovel and dug around. He wanted to find a few more ancient Roman gold and silver coins, but in the end. . . He was very disappointed that he couldn't find anything.

At this time, the original Rainbow Sand Fields had already been turned into a vast flat land. There were many trees and flowers planted on it, similar to the original ecological environment. Looking up, there were seven or eight wild ducks and geese that had stayed in the Da An County for winter. They flew freely in the sky above the Yellow River, adding vitality to the desolate and lonely shores of the Yellow River.
