Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 584
Shen Yunfeng unscrewed the mineral water bottle, took a sip of water, paused and said: "The fox mask and headgear are not just used to deter the enemy in battle, as Mr. Na Yuanliang said, it actually has a special meaning. It is a way for the owner of the tomb to prove to future generations that he was born as a spirit fox to teach people, and died as a spirit fox to teach ghosts."

"There are very few records about the Linghu Cult in history, and there are still disputes."

"Some say that the Spirit Fox Sect is a cult that came from the Western Regions in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. Others say that the Spirit Fox Sect is actually the earliest worship of fox fairies."

Tan Qian couldn't help asking: "Then which statement do you prefer?"

Shen Yunfeng smiled and said, "Actually, I am more inclined to the third theory."

Tan Qian seemed to have expected Shen Yunfeng to say this a long time ago, and said with a smile: "I knew that I would never return empty-handed when I was with you."

"And, there must be surprises."

Shen Yunfeng smiled and said: "Since I promised to tell you the truth, I definitely won't fool you with random words that you can't verify."

"After all, this matter involves a large tomb of considerable scale, and the fox mask and headgear has caused so many people to argue. If I talk nonsense, it will be easy for experts and professors to spot it. In that case, you should write it down. , and the journalists who publish it will definitely be implicated.”

"In that case, on behalf of all our colleagues in the newspaper office, I would like to thank you for your kindness of not 'killing'?"

Tan Qian looked at Shen Yunfeng with a smile.

Shen Yunfeng curled his lips, and continued to follow his own train of thought: "Come down to business, I'm going to say my own opinion now."

Tan Qian immediately restrained her laughing expression, and looked at Shen Yunfeng solemnly.

"The owner of the tomb is very likely to be a branch of Dayu, that is to say, he is the descendant of Qi, the founding king of the Xia Dynasty."

"I've told you just now that in the folklore of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Qi was the father of Qi after marrying Tu Shan's daughter Nine-Tailed White Fox when Dayu was controlling the waters."

"The owner of the tomb insists that he is a descendant of Xia Qi, so it is not surprising that he believes in the spirit fox and joined the secret organization of the spirit fox sect."

"The reason why he still wears this fox mask and headgear after death is to warn his descendants that the blood of Dayu and Xia Qi flows in their blood, and their status is extremely noble."

Tan Qian nodded slowly, thought for a while and asked: "It's not unreasonable for you to say that, and I will definitely write it in the same way, but I believe that it doesn't matter, it has to let the readers, and more importantly, let the readers Experts and professors who have disputed this issue believe that your statement is correct."

"Moreover, I dare to remind you that the person who first started this 'war' is Na Yuanliang. According to the information I have learned, he will be in Hanzhong for a while and will stay until next week when the autumn auction begins. Leave after the meeting."

"I can assure you that after seeing my news report, he will definitely not give you a good face."

Shen Yunfeng smiled, waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "I think he has already started to show off his face to me, and this time is no different."

Tan Qian felt that she had caught the hot news again from Shen Yunfeng's words, so she hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, did you 'offend' this well-known treasure appraiser in Hong Kong Island before?"

"That's right, and I offended you quite a bit!"

Shen Yunfeng said frankly.

But it is limited to this sentence. Even after Tan Qian tried her best, Shen Yunfeng did not continue to explain too much about the "grievance" between him and Na Yuanliang, but just told Tan Qian to pay attention to the Caltex auction. Go to the autumn auction held by Hanzhong branch next week, and you will know the answer.

Now that Shen Yunfeng reminded herself, Tan Qian stopped asking this question, and she was afraid of offending Shen Yunfeng.

Seeing Shen Yunfeng drink half a bottle of water into his stomach, Tan Qian said again: "Tell me about the 'Linghu Cult' again."

Shen Yunfeng gave a "hmm", thought for a while and said, "If you have paid close attention to that fox mask headgear, you will find that it is not just a mask headgear, but some teachings of the Fox Sect are hidden in some lines. .”

"Because the above text is written in the style of ancient oracle bone inscriptions, you also know that the current academic circles don't have a deep understanding of this ancient text, so even if the fox mask headgear is written with the teachings of the fox religion, it can There are only a few people who have discovered it and can understand it.”

"Even I, to be honest, don't understand."

Tan Qian obviously didn't believe Shen Yunfeng's last words, she stared into Shen Yunfeng's eyes for a long time, and finally she couldn't think of a way to make Shen Yunfeng "surrender" to be honest, she sighed sadly, she was letting Shen Yunfeng go .

"The Spirit Fox Sect appeared in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. As you know, the Yuan Dynasty was short-lived and only lasted for a few decades. When the Zhu Ming Dynasty cleaned up the old rivers and mountains, it was a chaotic era and did not provide development for the Spirit Fox Sect. Strong soil and environment."

"So, after the owner of the tomb shed the last drop of blood for the Zhu Ming Dynasty, the Spirit Fox Sect ceased to exist."

"The reason why he deliberately put on this fox mask headgear after his death is that he regretted not being able to make the Spirit Fox Sect grow stronger, and it also shows that he is a member of the Spirit Fox Sect."

Tan Qian nodded deeply, gently closed the interview book, put the pen and notebook in the bag, turned off the recorder, looked at Shen Yunfeng and asked: "Then can you tell me, if I want to find Linghu Where should I go to teach relevant historical materials?"

Shen Yunfeng shook his head and said: "As I said just now, the timing of the establishment of the Spirit Fox Sect was not right, and the troubled times did not have the soil and environment to support its development, so there are very few records about the Spirit Fox Sect in history. .”

"If you want to find it, I suggest that you don't go to places like government departments' collection libraries. Maybe go to antique markets or flea markets to try your luck. Maybe you can find some old country legends."

Tan Qian smiled and said: "I know, the masters are among the people, and the historical truth is sometimes also among the people."

Shen Yunfeng smiled noncommittally.

After saying these words to Tan Qian, Shen Yunfeng asked: "If you are going to the newspaper office, I am just on the way and can take you there."

Tan Qian smiled and said: "I got up early this morning to wait for you, and I was worried that you would slip away, so I didn't even eat breakfast. Now, it's almost ten o'clock, and I'm already hungry. "

"Then it's me."

"Forget it, lest your female boss or female partner see me, I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."

After saying this, Tan Qian stretched out her hand to shake Shen Yunfeng's hand and said seriously: "Thank you for accepting my interview."

"I'm really glad to have a friend like you."
