Chapter 341 Half-established loopholes
To confirm whether the loophole in the guess is valid, the method is not complicated. In this time and space, acquire an old object that belongs to others in the original time and space, and see if the holy ring reacts.
In fact, it is not easy to accurately acquire an old object that belongs to others in this time and space. At least, you have to know who the old object originally belonged to in the original time and space, and where can you find this old object in this time and space.
If you can't even do these two things, how can you acquire them?
Of course, Yang Jing knew who the owners of many famous antiques were in the original time and space, but Yang Jing didn't know where these antiques were collected and where they were collected.
However, there is an old object Yang Jing knew, that was the treasure-embedded Arhat bed collected by Master Ma Weidu, the original time and space.
In the original time and space, Master Ma is definitely a top figure in the private collection in China. His Guanfu Museum is also the leading private museum in China, and its collection is shocking.
Among Master Ma’s collections, there are ten collections that are considered the most precious by Master Ma and others. One of them is the treasure-embedded Arhat Bed from the Ming Dynasty.
When I lifted up my bed, I have to talk about the development history of furniture like bed in China.
Beds have an irreplaceable historical status in the history of China. Almost everyone in modern times will sleep in bed when they sleep, so many people may not know that the necessary beds for every family now did not have one more than two thousand years ago.
That’s right, the ancestors of the Chinese did not sleep on the bed two thousand years ago, but on the ground, because there was no such thing as a bed at that time...
It was not until the Han and Tang dynasties that our ancestors took hundreds of years to gradually build the "bed" thing, ending the history of sleeping on the ground before.
However, even if a bed is built, the use of the bed is strictly divided. At night, you can use a shelf bed or a step bed to sleep, take a nap, and then use a Arhat bed for lunch. You can't do it randomly.
Later, even the emperor's throne developed from the Arhat Bed, which is enough to prove how important the Arhat Bed is in the history of China.
As for treasure inlay, it refers to the inlaying process of selectively inlaid with a variety of processed precious materials on the same utensil to highlight the composition theme and strengthen the decorative effect. This process appeared in the Ming Dynasty. On the basis of the mother-of-pearl inlay technology, it was formed by adding materials such as gems, ivory, coral and jade.
Then the treasure-embedded Arhat Bed refers to this kind of Arhat Bed that is inlaid with treasures.
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the use of treasure-embedded Arhat beds was extremely high. Except for the royal family and the royal family, it was strictly prohibited for foreign officials to use them. One of the reasons why Yan Song, the prime minister of Emperor Wanli, was eventually confiscated, was that one of the very serious charges was that he had such treasure-embedded Arhat beds at his home.
You are already the prime minister and are already among the ministers. You are not satisfied. You dare to sleep in such a bed secretly at home. Tell me what you think? Do you want to replace my Zhu family and sit in this world? No! I will take it out and chop it up for me!
In the end, Yan Song ended up with his body and body separated...
In the original time and space, Master Ma’s collection has such a treasure-embedded Arhat bed, which is extremely precious.
When Master Ma acquired this treasure-embedded Arhat bed, it was also quite legendary.
According to Master Ma himself, he accidentally found this treasure-built Arhat bed in the canteen of the hardwood furniture factory in Yanjing. When Master Ma discovered this big yellow flower bed, the bed was placed in the canteen, and the workers in the furniture factory sat on it for lunch. At that time, the soft trunks of the Arhat bed were rotten and could not sit still, so the workers took off the three sides and put them on the bed, and then sat on the circumference to have lunch.
At that time, Master Ma was just starting to collect it, and he didn't know the bed, but he just thought that the big bed was extraordinary. He wanted to buy it at that time, but when he asked about the price, it was several thousand yuan!
The few thousand dollars in the late 1980s were really money. Even Master Ma couldn't afford that much money. However, he told his friend the news, which was the great director Li Hanxiang from Hong Kong Island. So Director Li spent money to buy the bed and later transferred it to Master Ma.
This allusion is very well-known in the circle, and of course Yang Jing has also heard of it.
So this time, Yang Jing planned to use this treasure embedded in the Arhat bed to confirm the loophole in the guess.
There is no such thing as traffic jam in Yanjing these days. Under the leadership of Lao Na, the atmospheric Mercedes-Benz quickly arrived at its destination.
In this era when Jeep, Soviet sedan and old Shanghai sedan occupied the main automobile market, the sensation caused by a Mercedes-Benz was quite huge. The master who looked at the door did not dare to stop him, so he opened the door and put the car in, and even gave a salute...
The factory manager saw that such a grand horse was parked in front of his office. A yellow-haired and white-skinned foreigner emerged from the car. He immediately ran out of the office with a thrilling look.
"Hello, Goodmaining..." Yang Jing couldn't help but be happy when he listened to the stuttering English of the furniture factory director.
"Hello, are you the manager here?"
As soon as Yang Jing spoke fluent Mandarin, he immediately shocked the factory manager and said with a smile: "Cough, cough, I am not a manager, I am the factory manager here... Oh, by the way, my surname is Wang, what's the price for you?"
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Michael Lynch from the United States. I like Chinese culture very much, especially those antique furniture. I heard from my friend that your factory can create antique furniture here, so I came here to take a look. If there is a suitable one, I would like to buy a few items back."
Na Yong, who was standing aside, finished the fight: "Director Wang, our boss always uses foreign exchange coupons to buy things..."
When Director Wang heard this, his eyes lit up.
The factory he is responsible for has been ineffective in recent years. There are dozens of people who have to support him, but the sales of furniture is not very good, which makes this Director Wang very worried.
Now a foreigner can come to the door in person and even name a name to see the antique furniture. If this foreigner likes the furniture in his factory, buy it and recommend it to his friends. If his friends also like it, wouldn’t it be very likely that the furniture in the factory will be exported to the United States?
If that were possible, the factory might be able to bring life back...
Director Wang thought happily while greeting this foreign friend enthusiastically.
Of course, Yang Jing didn't have the time to spend this kind of greeting, and said directly: "Director Wang, can I go around your factory? I want to see the production environment of your factory and the furniture produced."
"Okay, this is OK, I'll lead you in person..."
In this way, after three or two turns, Yang Jing wandered to the canteen in the factory. As soon as Yang Jing entered the canteen's door, his eyes were attracted by the tattered large yellow rosewood bed placed in the middle of the canteen.
As Master Ma of the Original Time and Space described, when he discovered this bed, the bed was in a mess, and there were a lot of dry noodles on it...
Now I discovered this big bed three or four years earlier than Master Ma discovered this bed back then, but the bed was still so ragged that it was hard to see.
Yang Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly walked forward and looked at the big bed carefully.
Yang Jing's actions fell into Director Wang's eyes. Director Wang asked strangely: "Mr. Lynch, this bed is already in a bad shape. If you like it, our factory has newly made furniture, which is much better than this one."
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "I just think this bed is quite simple. Director Wang, this bed is old, right?"
Director Wang thought for a while and said, "It's been a lot of time. I remember it was pulled from outside when the four olds were broken. However, the bed was a little broken at that time. Our factory used this bed as a sample. Later, we made several beds based on this bed, but it couldn't be sold. The bed was put here by the workers as a stool."
After a pause, Director Wang continued: "If you like this kind of bed, there is a similar bed in the warehouse. They were all pulled into the factory together. That bed is much better than this one. However, because the factory has not had good benefits in the past two years, we are going to dismantle that bed and make other furniture with the dismantled wood..."
As soon as he said this, Yang Jing felt that the humanistic treasure energy gathered in the pool had dropped by about two percent, which made Yang Jing's heart move.
"Director Wang, please take me over and see if that bed is OK?"
On the way to the warehouse, Yang Jing was distracted and asked the holy ring with his thoughts while walking: "Why did the treasure energy in the pool of humanities suddenly drop? I didn't use humanities."
The Holy Ring replied: "Because you have become a foreign nationality, you are no longer a Chinese. Therefore, if you want to acquire old objects belonging to others in this time and space, it will not cause the time and space paradox. However, because the arhat bed you are going to acquire already belongs to others in later generations, I will guide you to buy another treasure-embedded arhat bed. Of course, this treasure-embedded arhat bed has not appeared in the original time and space, so if you want to buy this arhat bed, the holy Ring will consume a certain amount of energy to guide you. The energy consumed is the humanistic energy contained in this bed, and if you buy this bed, you cannot absorb the humanistic treasure energy in it."
The answer of the Holy Ring made Yang Jing stunned, and then he understood what the Holy Ring meant.
It's very simple. The loophole I guessed at the time was "semi-established". In other words, after I became a foreigner, I would indeed not cause the time and space paradox in China and purchase old objects. However, if I acquire old objects belonging to others, the holy ring will consume energy to guide the second old object.
There are many old objects in China that are not unique, just like this treasure-embedded Arhat bed. There may be only one piece left in the original time and space. But before Master Ma or Director Li acquired this bed, no one knew if there was only one piece of this bed. There might be one piece of the same bed, but it was not taken away by anyone.
As Director Wang said, there is also an identical bed in the warehouse, but this bed is about to be demolished in the factory.
This is obviously the result of the energy consumption of the holy ring. If you don’t appear here at this time, the bed will definitely be demolished by the factory, and in the end it will only be left behind the bed in the canteen and then taken away by Master Ma.
Now with the guidance of the holy ring, the same bed was prevented from being removed. In this way, he could not only receive a bed in the Arhat, but also prevent Master Ma from being unable to acquire the bed in the cafeteria.
In other words, the Holy Ring still does this to avoid the occurrence of the space-time paradox. However, the Holy Ring resists the space-time paradox for itself. The way to resist is to consume energy to guide another same old object and save it to acquire the old object by itself. The original old object will still be left to the owner of the space-time to acquire...
