After the founding of the People's Republic of China, cultural relics are not allowed to become

Qu Qingshi was more careful, gently brushing off a layer of mud on the surface, and more characters were exposed. Time spanned from the Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, from running script to cursive script. The inkstone spanned thousands of years, witnessed countless heroes, and finally came to Qu In the hands of the Qing Dynasty, it avoided the fate of being made into a relief.

After cleaning up the last bit of mud, the whole picture of Zhengqi Inkstone is revealed. It is just an ordinary Duan Inkstone without much modification and carving. This is Fang Yan's legendary life.

Below is the engraved lettering of the second known owner Xie Fangde: Fangde's family has collected Yue Zhongwu's ink, which is similar to the inscription.

After Wen Tianxiang got the inkstone, he engraved the words on the side: Yue Zhongwu Duanzhou stone inkstone, which was collected by Junzhi in the same year, and presented to Tianxiang on the [-]th of December in the ninth year of Xianchun.

Also wrote the inkstone inscription: Although the inkstone is not iron, it is hard to wear, although the heart is not stone, it is as strong as it is, and you will not lose your way if you keep it.

Afterwards, this inkstone has been circulated for many years, collected by collectors and businessmen, all of which have left traces on the back of the inkstone.Zhu Yi in the Qing Dynasty also inscribed on it: Kangxi Renzi February [-]th, Zhu Yizun worshiped in Xipo Lizhai.

All these insignificant inscriptions made this Fang Yan extraordinary.

As the mud on the surface was washed away, the white light was turned on, and a middle-aged man appeared. He was dressed in Song Dynasty armor, held a long sword, tied his hair, his back was straight like a sword, and his eyes were like torches. He didn't come like other cultural relics. When I arrived at the new environment, I looked around, but I lowered my eyes after taking a look, rather flattered or humiliated.

Qu Qingshi greeted with a smile: "Hello."

A look of surprise appeared on Qi Ling's face: "Can you see me?"

Qu Qingshi nodded.

Even though Qi Ling had a calm personality, he said with emotion: "Nowadays, capable people are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons," and quickly accepted this, and saluted Qu Qingshi, "I am upright, thank you for saving me."

Qu Qingshi hurriedly got up to return the salute.

The Zhengqi Inkstone is a legendary cultural relic, and what has been handed down over the years is nothing more than a rubbing and a few fragments in history books. Qu Qingshi asked him countless questions, his eyes sparkled, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Are you really Yue Fei, Xie Fangde, did Wen Tianxiang ever own the Inkstone of Righteousness?"

Qi Ling nodded: "At the beginning, I was just an ordinary square inkstone. After Yue Daguan got me, he personally engraved words on the back of me to remind himself to stick to the integrity and integrity in his heart. No matter how difficult it is, he will not be worn down. .”

Qu Qingshi held the handrail, leaned forward, and was about to ask him what kind of person Yue Fei is, what kind of hero is he?

Qi Ling continued: "After Yue Daguan died of injustice, I fell into the hands of different people one after another. Since Yue Daguan didn't sign the name, others just treated me as an ordinary Duan inkstone."

"Only Mr. Xie's puppet got me, and found that the running script engraved by Mr. Yue on my back was similar to the handwriting left by him on the copybook. After comparison, it was confirmed that I was the relic of Mr. Yue."

Qu Qingshi continued his words: "Xie Fangde and Wen Tianxiang were Jinshi in the same dynasty and were friends for many years. When Wen Tianxiang learned that Xie Fangde had Yue Fei's inkstone, he went to Xie Fangde's mansion several times to see the inkstone. And asked Xie Fangde for an inkstone, but Xie Fangde never gave it."

Zhengqi Yan nodded and said: "Officer Xie is not my second master, but the second one who left words on my body. Later, the barbarians invaded, and the Wen Daguan raised their troops to carry the yuan. In order to encourage Wen Daguan, Xie Daguan reluctantly gave me to him. , I hope he can inherit the legacy of the great official Yue, fight against Yuan soldiers, kill the enemy and serve the country."

"Who ever thought that Wen Daguan died in battle, the Song Dynasty fell, Xie Daguan refused to be an official for the barbarians, and even went on a five-day hunger strike to die for the country. I only heard about these things later." Qi Ling said calmly.

Qu Qingshi was about to ask again, Qi Ling glanced at him, and continued: "And I was collected by the descendants of Wen Daguan, needless to say, the wars and dynasty changes, I traveled among the people, but luckily I did not fall to pieces , Among my masters, some recognized me, and some did not, until Wu Lu, the last number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty, recognized me and treasured my time."

"In order to keep me, the Wu family not only does not show me to outsiders easily, and is less known to others, but also engraves words on my inkstone to show my aspirations."

Qu Qingshi asked: "It is said that you were once stolen by the Japanese, is this true?"

Zhengqiyan nodded: "It is true. Xu Shiying, a student of my master Wu Guanren, was the ambassador to Japan. When he visited Wu Lu, he brought two Japanese. The Japanese liked me very much, so they begged me. Wu Guanren Of course I wouldn’t, but the two Japanese stole me away when they saw that I couldn’t ask for inkstone. Fortunately, my master found out early and sent his son to Tokyo to beg me. Seeing that the matter was exposed, the Japanese refused to admit that they stole it. I just put me under the shelf of a commercial press run by a Chinese, and let them pick it up by themselves. Fortunately, I finally came back."

"Later, in order to prevent this from happening again, coupled with years of wars, they put me on the shelf and pasted all the lettering on the front and back of me with mud, so as not to be targeted by the bad guys. They didn't even mention it outside. My existence keeps my secret."

"What happened later..." Zhengqi Yan sighed, "I don't need to say more about what happened later. The Wu family protected me until I was investigated ten years ago, and even the old house was expropriated..."

"Later, I was tossed and turned and sold to a foreigner. The foreigner didn't know what I was, but just thought I was a strangely shaped stone. I wandered outside for decades, and simply fell into a deep sleep. I didn't care about my affairs until I met you. .”

Qu Qingshi gently stroked the Zhengqi Inkstone, shocked by his thousand-year legendary experience, he murmured: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back to China."

Hearing this, Zhengqiyan gave a salute as if he had woken up: "So, I would like to thank you very much."

"No need to thank you," Qu Qingshi waved his hand, leaned forward and said excitedly, "You have followed Yue Fei, Xie Fangde, Wen Tianxiang, and experienced such dynasties, can you please tell me about them? Dynasty changes In addition to the war, the records in the history books may not be complete, and what you said can help future generations understand heroes better."

Zhengqi Yan thought for a while and asked: "That's no problem, but what I said can really be accepted, even if it is recorded by you, no one will believe it?"

Qu Qingshi: "Although my strength is meager, as long as I record it, someone will see it. Even if one more person sees it, it is a good thing. What do you think?"

Just as Zhengqi Yan was about to nod, a sharp bell suddenly interrupted his words.

Qu Qingshi greeted him, picked up the phone: "Hello? Uncle Dai?"

Uncle Dai's hurried voice came over: "Member Wu just came in and is walking towards your shop!"

"Mr. Wu? What Mr. Wu?" Qu Qingshi was about to ask, but he had already seen the person coming through the window.

The first one is a Chinese, not tall, in his 50s, bald, with a typical abc appearance.Followed by a few figures like bodyguards, they looked even taller against the background of the man in front.

The few people who came were not friendly, and came to the door of Qu Qingshi's small shop in a few steps, and pushed the door open without any explanation.

Gu Haofeng picked up the vase and stopped Qu Qingshi behind him: "What's the matter?"

The Chinese came in with a smile, and pressed his palms down: "easy, easy, take it easy, let me introduce myself first? Hello, I am Wu Junyao, a member of the Democratic Party of Los Angeles, and this is my business card. May I ask who you are?"

Gu Haofeng didn't answer but asked instead: "Mr. Wu? How could a dignified member be interested in our small business?"

Wu Junyao cut straight to the point, and said with a smile: "I heard that my family heirloom Zhengqi Inkstone is in your hands, so I came here specially to ask you to return the Zhengqi Inkstone to its original owner." Then he casually pointed to the inkstone on Qu Qingshi's table Zhengqi Yan: "This is it."

Qu Qingshi frowned and said, "How do you know?"

The atmosphere here is tense, but there is a relaxed atmosphere. Wu Junyao found a seat to sit down, and said with emotion: "Ming Dynasty furniture? You have a lot of cultural relics here."

He sat down, Erlang cocked his legs and said with a smile: "The small shop in the second-hand market belongs to our family. The foreigner returned to the market after you took the inkstone and told my people. We immediately checked the surveillance. The two said, no matter what the situation, background or history of this inkstone, I only sell this inkstone to foreigners, but not to Chinese people.”

The faces of Qu Qingshi and Gu Haofeng turned cold.

Qu Qingshi asked: "Do you know this is Yue Fei..."

Wu Junyao found his words: "Of course I know."

"Whether foreigners use it to make reliefs or drop it, that is the fate of this inkstone. I have the final say on my family's inkstone. This inkstone," he smiled, his face twisted with his smile , "The Chinese are not worthy."
