Facing this quaint and long-standing golden lacquered square wooden box, Dean Jin turned around and asked for instructions from the veteran General Zhao Guoqin: "General Zhao, do you want to open it?"

Zhao Guoqin looked at Dean Jin's serious expression, thought for a while, and said to Dean Jin: "Lao Jin, it's okay to open it, right?"

President Jin hesitated for a moment and said seriously to Zhao Guoqin: "In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to just open it like this..."

Zhao Guoqin showed a hint of regret in his eyes, but he nodded and said, "That's it!"

Unexpectedly, President Jin added: "But if I have to hand it over to the Tang Sect as an exchange tonight, I am a little unwilling to be honest. After all, after tonight, I might have wandered abroad and will never see you again..."

When the two little girls Ning Xiaoxiao and Song Qianyue heard this, they immediately shouted in agreement: "Yes! If you don't open it now and come and take a look, won't you have to look again? I support opening this golden lacquer square wooden box!"

After saying that, Ning Xiaoxiao and Song Qianyue raised their hands high, and then shouted: "Let's vote, okay?"

Everyone was a little laughed when they saw the cute actions of the sisters. Zhao Guoqin also smiled and said, "Then according to Ning Xiaoxiao and Song Qianyue, how about we have a vote? The minority obeys the majority?"

"Okay!" Everyone answered in unison.

Zhao Guoqin smiled, coughed deliberately "hmm" and then said loudly: "I agree to disassemble this gold-painted square wooden box, raise my hand!"

"Swish", "Swish", "Swish"... countless arms were raised in one go in the conference hall.

"Uh..." Chen Tian was a little hesitant, but he hesitated for a moment and raised his hand.

Zhao Guoqin looked around the conference hall and said happily: "Since everyone supports opening this golden lacquered square wooden box, then there will be Dean Lao Jin!"

"General Zhao, then I'd rather obey my duty than respect!" Dean Jin showed a smile that was not easy to detect, and then he began to explore the golden square wooden box with his hands.

The square wooden box of gold paint was divided into two pieces, sealed with fire paint, and only dark red paint was seen at the junction, which was about as thick as the nails. Dean Jin gave a look at Direliba, and Direliba immediately took out a white knife knowingly, which looked very delicate and small.

Dean Jin grabbed the white knife and raised it to everyone, then said leisurely: "Everyone is optimistic! This is an ivory bone knife that can restrain the earthy smell of these antiques..."

"The smell of earth? What is the smell of earth? President Jin?" Zhao Guoqin asked in confusion.

The eyes behind Dean Jin's golden silk glasses suddenly emitted a terrifying light: "It is the evil spirit hidden beside the ancient objects! The antiques hidden in the soil usually absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and gather energy, especially in places like Mogao Grottoes. The evil spirit will probably be even stronger. If metals such as swords are used, they may touch the evil spirit contained in it!"

Hearing Dean Jin say this, the entire conference hall immediately became silent, so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

Dean Jin ignored the expressions of others and just "hissed" with an ivory knife to start cutting the hot paint that sealed the square wooden box of gold paint. Everyone heard the "hiss" sound in their ears and felt an indescribable strange feeling. At this moment, Dean Jin suddenly said: "Okay!"

Immediately, before everyone could come back to their senses, Dean Jin opened the golden lacquered square wooden box with a "splash".

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, stretched their necks and looked into the square wooden box of gold paint.

I saw a piece of red velvet pad placed in the square wooden box of gold paint. The color looked quite bright. It seemed that after the gold paint square wooden box was sealed with fire paint, it had never been opened. In addition, the gold paint square wooden box had a good sealing property, so it was not oxidized and the color was well maintained.

But everyone was obviously not attracted by the red velvet mattress, but was firmly attracted by something on the red velvet mattress.

What exactly is something like a red velvet pad that can attract everyone's attention like a magnet?

Chen Tian was a little surprised to see that the thing placed on the red velvet pad was a black-brown, dry and dry-like object, which was extremely inconspicuous, but it was treasured in such a noble and elegant place in a square wooden box of gold paint, and sealed with fire paint, and wrapped with three layers of wax paper on the outside, which was enough to show that this thing was extraordinary.

At this moment, Zhao Guoqin, who had been watching behind Dean Jin, finally couldn't help asking: "Director Jin, what is this?"

President Jin frowned. He was knowledgeable and did not answer the first time, but hesitated for a moment, turned his head to Direba, who was standing beside him and staring at the rattan-like object with wide eyes, and asked, "Direlba, what do you think this is?"

Direliba was stunned for a moment, bit her lips and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said to Dean Jin: "Director Jin, I'm a little confused... This thing seems to be a dead thing!"

"What?" The others in the conference hall immediately glared at Direliba's words.

I'll go, what are Direba talking about?

It is obviously a black-brown, dry and dry vine-like object, why is it not a dead object?

But Dean Jin nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Good eyesight! Then look at what this is?"

The time for testing his eyesight was coming. When Direliba heard Dean Jin's words, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and continued to look at it. Her mouth was squinted and her expression was very focused, but in the end she shook her head and said to Dean Jin: "Director Jin, I still can't see it."

Chen Tian, ​​who was so enchanting from the side, had already lost Dean Jin in his heart: "This old Jin is really good at keeping it a secret. He deliberately didn't let his students guess! It's not me that just throwing this black ghost thing outside is just like a branch, who can guess it?"

Long Ying, who had been silent, wondered whether Dean Jin was just pretending. In fact, Dean Jin himself could not see what this thing was.

At this moment, Dean Jin faintly pointed two words out from his mouth: "Umbilical cord!"

Hearing these two words, the people in the conference hall couldn't help but have a cold war. Except for some monks who were confused by their minds, Song Qianyue was still muttering: "Looking forward? What are you looking forward to? Hey, why do you look so strange?"

Ning Xiaoxiao, who really couldn't stand it, pulled the corner of Song Qianyue's clothes and whispered to Song Qianyue quietly: "The umbilical cord is the pipe connected to the child's belly when a pregnant woman gave birth to a child..."

"Ah!" After hearing this, Song Qianyue understood what she was talking about and screamed in surprise.

But no one else was distracted by Song Qianyue's scream, and unconsciously surrounded Dean Jin and listened to Dean Jin's explanation.

Dean Jin held up the golden-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose and said leisurely: "This is an umbilical cord, which belongs to an ancient custom that has disappeared outside the border. When a child is just born, his parents will save the child's umbilical cord. It is said that in this way, the children will listen to their parents obediently and will not be naughty."

When everyone heard what Dean Jin said, they looked up at the umbilical cord on the red velvet mattress, and they didn't know what to say and ask for for a moment.

"Is this true? Whose umbilical cord is this section of umbilical cord?" At this time, Song Qianyue couldn't help asking again.

Dean Jin rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly: "Oh, little girl, how do I know! If you ask the ancients who were more than a thousand years ago, they may not know it!"

When Zhao Guoqin heard Song Qianyue’s stupid question, he smiled bitterly, and asked Dean Jin: “Is there any other prompt words or patterns in this golden lacquer square wooden box?”

When Direliba heard Zhao Guoqin’s question, he immediately said, “Yes, it’s behind the upper half of the golden lacquered square wooden box…”

But just as everyone was about to listen to Direba's description, Dean Jin suddenly shouted: "No!"

Then Dean Jin closed the golden painted square wooden box with a force, and then directly wrapped the disassembled sallow paper on the golden painted square wooden box again.

Under the eyes that everyone was not understanding, President Jin solemnly handed the golden square wooden box to the old general Zhao Guoqin and said slowly: "General Zhao, this is a very precious cultural relic. It cannot be exposed to the air for too long, otherwise it will be easy to oxidize, and the moisture in the air will easily make it become damp."

Zhao Guoqin nodded and said to Dean Jin: "Okay! Actually, we feel very strange when we see this ancient umbilical cord, but for a moment, we don't seem to know what the function or significance of this umbilical cord has."

President Jin held Jinli's glasses and sighed, "Oh, I won't say much. If I don't have to exchange hostages tonight, I will definitely take this thing to the institute for research!"

Zhao Guoqin nodded heavily, reached out to take the gold-lacquered square wooden box, then weighed it in his hand, sighed again, and handed the gold-lacquered square wooden box to Chen Tian and said, "I'll leave it to you, Chen Tian!"

Chen Tian's heart skipped a beat, then he stretched out his hands to take the gold-painted wooden box solemnly, and said to Zhao Guoqin with great emotion: "Thank you, General Zhao!"

Zhao Guoqin pursed his lips and said, "Chen Tian, ​​what I want to remind you again is that this thing is not ours, but belongs to the Mogao Grottoes. It is just that the Tang Sect deliberately stole it from the Mogao Grottoes and used despicable means to threaten us to give it to them, but sooner or later we will ask them to return it to the Mogao Grottoes! Do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" Chen Tian's heart heated up and immediately shouted loudly.

"Very good! It's getting late, I think you'd better leave early! We'll go to the canteen now, and after dinner, we'll go to exchange hostages!" Zhao Guoqin said that, and then turned around and walked out of the conference hall.
Chapter completed!
