A legendary happy life

With the beginning of Wang Wei's painting, Xu Nanyu was full of enthusiasm for the next few days of exotic travel, and pulled Li Tai out early in the morning. Fortunately, the media did not expose Li Tai's photo and only reported on the Seven Colors God Fei. With the ring, no one knew that he was the owner of the Colorful God Fei, otherwise, according to the current popularity of the Shen Fei ring, let alone shopping, once he appeared in front of people, it would definitely cause a commotion and form a scene of thousands of people watching.

Although the idea is good, the reality is cruel. From morning to noon, both of them's legs were weak, but they didn't see anything for Xu Nanyu to start with. There were satisfactory items, but it was a pity that the price and amount had been clearly marked. That series of Xu Nanyu who didn't give up his anger almost exploded!

"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! It's just something that is more than 200 years old. How dare you charge that price?! Do you think our Chinese money is disgusting?! We Chinese are rich, but we are not being treated as rich You idiot!" After leaving the store, Xu Nanyu was still gnashing his teeth angrily, if he hadn't been a little rational, he would have almost cursed out just now!

Li Tai comforted him with his eyes, and ordered him a glass of ice cream.

Xu Nanyu bit down to vent her hatred, but Bing's teeth were stiff and she gasped. "Hiss... so cold!"

Li Tai looked at him and asked, "Are you still shopping in the afternoon?"

Xu Nanyu, who was binge eating ice cream, raised her eyes when she heard the words, and said with hatred in her eyes: "Go shopping! Why don't you go shopping? I don't believe in luck, I can't find anything good again!"

"Just try your best." Li Tai didn't hit him, and tried to comfort him as much as possible.

Xu Nanyu responded with a 'hum hum'.

After eating ice cream and resting enough, the two continued shopping, finding nothing until they reached a specialty store in the evening.

"Holy Grail?" Looking at the signboard of the store, Xu Nanyu became interested. He had only heard of clothes, shoes, and electrical appliances, but this was the first time he had heard of the 'Holy Grail' monopoly, 'Holy Grail'?Make him wonder, is it the Holy Grail he knows?Looking at Li Tai, he blinked and begged.

Li Tai laughed. "Then let's take a look." In fact, it was already agreed to go to Daojia Mansion just now, but how could Li Tai have the heart to refuse Xu Nanyu's request to go shopping again?

The Holy Grail is one of the sacred objects of Christianity, and it is also the embodiment of holiness, strength, wisdom, and courage. For thousands of years, with the deification of Jesus, this holy cup that only carried his sacred blood and finally resurrected it, It has made people regard it as the incarnation of a real god.Whether it is based on rumors or deification of facts, the "Holy Grail" is unique in the hearts of Christians.

"Let me take a look at this." Xu Nanyu pulled Li Tai into the door, and was truly overwhelmed by the dazzling array of 'Holy Grails', as big as a person's height and as small as a fingernail, made of gold, wood, copper, There are iron, crystal, and all kinds of materials, and the price ranges from tens of thousands to tens of pounds. What Xu Nanyu fancy is a fingernail-sized pure gold pendant with diamonds embedded in it and polished extremely exquisitely.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He unlocked the cabinet with a key and took out the small pendant for him. "Mr. Good Eyes, this is one of our most popular items. The gold is pure gold, and the diamonds are made of the best quality diamonds. They are shaped in the shape of the Holy Grail, which represents wisdom, strength, courage, and loyalty. The best of the best."

"How much?" Xu Nanyu asked.

"Six thousand eight hundred pounds."

Six thousand eight hundred pounds?That's almost 8000 RMB?Although this thing is exquisite, pure gold and diamonds, but the object is small, no matter how good the quality of the diamonds are, they are still fine diamonds. The material, craftsmanship, and design of the whole thing are worth 6 to [-] yuan. Just over [-]?Xu Nanyu's money is not spent like that, and there is nothing unusual about this thing. If Xu Nanyu wants to tell Li Tai, Li Tai will tell the jewelry company that there are thousands of exquisite things in front of him to choose from. ? !Xu Nanyu frowned and returned the things to the boss. "I'll take another look."

The boss was not in a hurry, he put the things back and let Xu Nanyu take a look at them slowly.

Not to mention, Xu Nanyu really took a fancy to a few interesting things, which also looked like holy grails. One was copper and the other was silver, with precious stones inlaid around it, and a gold base with exquisite patterns. The two things were placed in the middle of the room There is also a special anti-theft treatment. It seems that the boss attaches great importance to these two items.What Xu Nanyu is interested in is their workmanship. Judging from their simple appearance, they are not modern craftsmanship. "This is?"

The boss stood by and pointed to the copper holy grail proudly. "This is a model of the Holy Grail ordered by a prince in the eleventh century," he pointed to the silver one and said, "This one is a model of the Holy Grail ordered by a king in the thirteenth century. The treasure of the shop is also not for sale."

It turned out to be an antique, no wonder it was placed in the middle of the room and the most important thing was to add anti-theft treatment.

Apart from these two aged ones, there are several other holy grails with several years of age, but the material is not as precious as these two. "Are all these holy grails collected by you, boss?" Xu Nanyu asked.

The boss didn't expect Xu Nanyu to guess that these holy grails were collectibles, then shook his head and said. "No, this is my grandfather's grandfather's collection. There were more, but a few have been sold."

"How many pieces were sold? These are the only ones left? Anything else?" Xu Nanyu was really interested in these vintage Holy Grail antiques. Buying them back and studying them might improve his western cultural attainments.

"All the good ones are here, and there are a few not so good ones in the warehouse."

"How many pieces are left? Boss, let's take them out and have a look." It doesn't matter if they don't look good, anyway, he doesn't show off, he just researched it privately, and besides, he is not a Christian, so the so-called "Holy Grail" is right. To him, it is just an ordinary cup, which is still useless.

The boss couldn't hold back Xu Nanyu, so he had another clerk guard the storefront, and he went to the back warehouse to dig out the whole cardboard box containing the few remaining items.The cardboard box was left with a thick layer of dust due to being left unattended for a long time, even the items inside. "It's all here. If the two of you are interested, I can make it cheaper."

Xu Nanyu took a look and found that they were indeed not very good-looking items. Two of the cheap wooden holy grails were still missing. After stretching out and pulling twice, one wooden holy grail caught Xu Nanyu's attention.All the wooden cups were dusty, only one cup was not dusty, and the dark color of the texture was also that dull dark color, which was probably the most inconspicuous among a pile of wooden products, but in a pile of dusty It is only a coincidence that there is no ash on the wooden products?I'm afraid not.

The color of the Holy Grail is very difficult to tell whether the ash is falling or not. Xu Nanyu can see it because he has been dealing with antiques for a long time and has developed a pair of eyesight that starts from the details.I picked two of them calmly, and held them on the shelf of the room for two years. Although the items were small and the materials were limited, they were antiques after all. Xu Nanyu still spent 7 to [-] yuan to get them after bargaining.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Xu Nanyu began to study this wooden holy grail that did not fall into dust. Li Tai had been watching by the side just now, so he naturally knew the reason why Xu Nanyu was so fond of this cup. Come on, and said: "If you are really curious, take it for a test tomorrow."

Shake your head. "No, after the test, there will be no sense of magic. Besides, if this thing is really a treasure, after the test, do you think we can bring it back to China?"

Li Tai looked at him and smiled. "Where did you think this thing was a treasure?"

Xu Nanyu looked back at him, blinked and smiled back: "I want to say it's intuition, do you believe it?"

It's 'intuition' again, Li Tai is almost afraid of his intuition, because every time he talks about intuition, he can always make something big happen.The lessons learned from the past are the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, the emerald vein, the suspicious tomb, the tomb in the king's tomb, and the seven-color jadeite.

If Xu Nanyu knew what Li Tai was thinking, he would definitely be wronged. Except for the suspicion, he knew everything in advance, so how could it be counted as his 'intuition'?If you want to talk about the Holy Grail, let alone make him feel a little weird, but unfortunately he can't find out where this weird feeling comes from. "Tell me... is it really possible that this thing is the cup that Jesus used 2000 years ago?" Xu Nanyu herself asked with a strange expression.

What Li Tai heard was even more strange, and he glanced at him and said, "Then you just wait to be included in the number one killer list of the World Assassin Organization." Picking up the Holy Grail?It is estimated that there will be some people who want to commit suicide, but it is certain that they will pull Xu Nanyu to the bottom before committing suicide!

Xu Nanyu listened with a look of hesitation, entangled, does he really hope it is or not?

After the International Jewelery Exhibition ended, Li Tai and Xu Nanyu returned to Beijing. A week later, the special jadeite auction would follow. Li Tai was too busy to touch the ground, and Xu Nanyu took time to return to Xinzhou to exchange Wang Weihua with the wooden holy grail. Let Mr. Li do the research, and he returned to Beijing to finish the final exam of the Department of Archeology, paid a grand visit to Professor Hou, and then went to Yunnan to personally pick up the Jade King to participate in this special jade auction.

This jadeite auction is unprecedentedly grand, bringing together all jadeite lovers at home and abroad, as well as all kinds of jadeite. As the No.1 jadeite king of jadeite gambling, he should be present to participate in this grand event.

But on the day before the auction, when the two were busy, Mr. Li made an urgent call and summoned them to Xinzhou.As soon as she entered the door, Xu Nanyu shrank her neck in shock from the unprecedented solemn atmosphere in the room.Is this the case of a horse?He glanced at Mr. Li with a heavy expression, and then at Uncle Li with the same serious expression. Are you waiting for their three trials? ! ~ Li Tai also had a flash, and pulled Xu Nanyu to sit beside him and waited for Mr. Li to explain the reason.

Mr. Li and Uncle Li looked at each other, and Uncle Li said: "I asked you to come here to ask about one thing." He took out a sealed envelope from his bag, took out the photo inside and spread it out to the two of them, "About this The whole process of discovering something, where, who and who else knew at that time."

Seeing that Uncle Li was not joking, Xu Nanyu glanced at the photo, and met Li Tai's eyes. Isn't this the wooden holy grail he bought? ! "This can't really be the Holy Grail used by Jesus, can it?" Xu Nanyu shouted bluntly.

Mr. Li and Uncle Li stared and shouted together: "You know?!"

Now Xu Nanyu and Li Tai stared at each other, Xu Nanyu stuttered in shock. "I...I don't know, I was guessing for fun. After I bought it, I guessed for fun, and Li Tai joked, 'If this is the Holy Grail used by Jesus', Li Tai also said that if it was really that one, I would I'm afraid it will be included in the killing list of the World Killer Organization," Xu Nanyu swallowed hard, looked at the two carefully and asked, "Is this really, that one?"

Old Li nodded with deep brows. "pretty close."

Xu Nanyu swallowed her saliva. "What about the evidence?"

"Look carefully at the photo and see if it's different from the one you brought back." Mr. Li said, Xu Nanyu and Li Tai each took a photo and looked at it carefully, Xu Nanyu returned after a while.

"Color, when I brought it back, this thing was gray and dark, not like the gray with dark light now, and there are wood grains. When I brought it back, the wood grains were faint and almost invisible, but now they are clearly visible. , and there are natural patterns?"

Old Li nodded. "The change in color and wood grain is because there is a layer of almost transparent wax on the surface. This wax is hard to find and almost becomes one with the object. If it is not tested by high-end instruments, this wax is invisible to the naked eye."

"Nearly transparent wax?"

"Yes, it's the same as the theorem of protecting hidden treasures in China, but the ingredients are different." After Mr. Li finished speaking, Uncle Li interjected.

"We are researching the composition of the transparent wax, and I believe we will have definite news soon." After speaking, Li Erbo looked at the 'Holy Grail' in the photo, and said strangely: "At least we can't test the material of this thing. "

"Can't be tested?!" Modern technology is so advanced, since there are still things that can't be tested? !

"We can't test it because we can't identify it. This thing looks like wood, but it is ten times harder than the hardest wood. It is said to be ore, but it doesn't have the characteristics that ore should have. We use what has been found in the world. All substances have been compared, and none of the data is the same."

All the matter in the world?That is to say, this thing is a substance that has never been discovered in the world?Xu Nanyu swallowed again. "Is that why you confirmed it was the 'Holy Grail'?"

Li Erbo shook his head and took out a set of photos again. "When any liquid is poured into a cup, it will turn into this red substance, and the red color will gradually deepen with time. We have tested this red liquid and found that it contains a micro-substance that is harmful to the human body. Any living body is beneficial and harmless, and this substance will increase as the color of the liquid deepens. The more the substance, the greater the benefit to the living body. We have done an experiment, put a dying fish in into this liquid,"

"Is the fish alive?" Xu Nanyu asked.

Li Erbo smiled. "The fish is alive, but after an hour, the substance will be grayed out, and the fish will still die." That is to say, this substance cannot be used as a magic weapon to bring the dead back to life, but can only be used as a super nutrient solution, and it will gradually fade away. Lost nutrient solution. "This substance cannot be preserved, and its benefits to living organisms are also limited in time. For example, if a fish is placed in this substance, even if this substance is added at any time, the survival time of the fish can be preserved for up to 30 hours. Moreover, the larger the living body, the higher the quantity and concentration of the substance needed. We haven’t conducted experiments on human bodies, but we have carried out experiments on live sheep. We have also done an experiment on wounds , and found that this substance also has a great effect on the disinfection and care of wounds." It can save people and treat wounds, and it is in the shape of the Holy Grail. It is the Holy Grail that everyone will think of Jesus. After all, Jesus died and resurrected. Then forty days later, he really died. If the discovery of this substance is based on the current discovery, it can be said to make sense.

Li Lao laughed. "In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just that this substance has a strong killing effect on microorganisms and bacteria in the air, which is quite similar to the concept of modern western medicine." In short, it is 'disinfection and sterilization'.

Xu Nanyu breathed a sigh of relief, if this thing really has the effect of prolonging life, it will be a big mess!Not to mention those who are interested in the world, but even the high-level people in China, I am afraid that everyone is jealous.Fortunately, it is only a super strong version of the 'disinfection and sterilization' medicine, but in ancient history when medicine was backward, the ability to disinfect and sterilize is probably already a panacea that can revive the dead, right?It is also understandable that the apotheosis of Jesus was combined with false rumors, and finally it was passed on as a fetish that can preserve youth forever and bring death back to life.

Knowing the reason for them to come back, Xu Nanyu explained the situation of discovering the Holy Grail in detail, and Li Tai would add something from time to time.

After the two finished talking, Uncle Li finished the record, then looked at Xu Nanyu hesitantly and said, "Nanyu, it doesn't matter whether it's the Holy Grail or not, I hope you can hand over the Holy Grail to the country."

Xu Nanyu trembled in shock. "No, Second Uncle, this thing is a hot potato to me now, even if you don't tell me, I will ask you to help me deal with it." He didn't want to be included in the killing list of the World Killer Organization, and he wanted to do it at night. Have a good night's sleep.

Li Erbo laughed. "This thing is yours, so naturally I should have asked you."

"How to deal with it, I have no opinion at all, but I want to ask, if it is found that this thing is actually not very useful, how will the country deal with it?"

Uncle Li and Mr. Li looked at each other, and Mr. Li smiled and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"Yeah? Ask me?" Anyway, there is no one else in the room, Xu Nanyu thought for a while and said: "It's public knowledge, it's best to make the whole world know, and then wait for others to come to negotiate conditions obediently, It’s easy to talk about money and things, but the most important thing is to return the treasures that were stolen from our country during the Eight-Power Allied Powers!” It’s useless for Christianity’s holy relics to stay in China. It would be best if it could be exchanged for the most tangible interests of our country.

Hearing this, Old Li's eyes lit up, he looked at Xu Nanyu with relief, and said, "This is a good way." The Holy Grail does not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life and keeping youth forever, so it must be the cup used by the Christian Jesus, not a real fetish but only It can be said that the sacred objects of a religion have a taste of antiques, and it is the best way to exchange antiques for antiques.

Li Erbo nodded, also agreeing with this method.

After talking about the Holy Grail, Mr. Li made further adjustments to the safety of Xu Nanyu and Li Tai. The four bodyguards around Li Tai were directly arranged by Mr. Li for veterans, while Xu Nanyu was temporarily in charge of security by Tian Fei, who was Mr. Li's security. The guards are now in charge of Xu Nanyu's safety, and they are not in line with the discipline, but Mr. Li's words, "That's it," suppressed all disapproving voices.

Tian Fei obeyed the arrangement and went back to Beijing with the two of them in the afternoon, and lived on the first floor of the villa. For Xu Nanyu's safety in the archeology department, Mr. Li asked Tian Fei to change his identity and become a transfer student in Xu Nanyu's class. In other words, Tian Fei has to be completely used to the 24-hour security protection policy. Fortunately, he is adaptable enough to not worry about being exposed when he transfers to the Department of Archeology.

With the "Holy Grail" episode, Li Tai was even more concerned about Xu Nanyu's safety. In addition to Tian Fei arranged by Mr. Li, he also invited an additional veteran to escort Xu Nanyu, and he also whispered orders to tell him that nothing will happen in the future. Usually do not go out.

Maybe she was frightened by the big words "The Killing List of the World Killer Organization", Xu Nanyu obediently nodded in agreement, and promised that she would never go out if she had nothing to do!

Fortunately, the news about the 'Holy Grail' has not been spread yet. Xu Nanyu can still participate in the special jadeite auction, and there are several big names in the jadeite king and the stone gambling industry.
