Chapter 33 A Lifetime Wish and Responsibility

"The British Museum, Grandma, is what you mean what I understand?"

Xu Yonghe: "Of course, I want to do the biggest job. I plan to bring back all the spirits that are sleeping in the British Museum."

Jia Wenyan: "Calling back the spirit of the weapon... Grandma, I understand that it is similar to the way I helped Tianxing and Hongyu reshape their true bodies. By replicating the cultural relics, I can provide a new carrier for the spirit of the weapon."

"Yes, before I met you, when I was collecting lost cultural relics overseas, I also thought about buying back the "lost items" from the British Museum."

"But some things are much more difficult than we imagined. Without channels, even if I collected as many national treasures lost overseas due to war, there is no way to get the "collections" back from an official museum."

"That was the most difficult period of my life. When ordinary Donghuang people arrived there, they would at most feel the humiliation of that period of history. But for people like us, what I saw there was one weapon spirit after another who fell into endless despair because of leaving their homeland."

"Although they are protected by the museum and will not be destroyed due to damage to their bodies, for them this is a prison that is so strange and endless."

"The spirits of the weapons are spiritual bodies derived from the Donghuang culture and historical heritage. So after leaving this land and cultural environment, they are like humans entering the time loop of Mobius, and can only face the meaningless cycle prison numbly."

"Some of these weapon spirits even chose to give up on themselves after so many years. That was the first time I saw a weapon spirit with a complete body dissipate in front of me."

"Until now I still can't forget the way it looked at me. I even thought about using my spiritual roots to bring those weapon spirits back home."

"But the existence of the weapon spirit cannot leave the main body too far, and it may even dissipate if it does not return to the carrier for a long time."

Jia Wenyan: "So you want me to make a large number of replicas of the British Museum's artifacts as carriers to bring those artifact spirits back home?"

"Yes, not long after you finished replicating the dragon scale jade pendant, Shi Feng Dan (Three Kings Pot) found me, and from that day on, I began to think about the possibility of using this method to bring those artifact spirits home."

"My original plan was to take you to transfer those weapon spirits one by one, but I immediately realized another problem, that is, our spiritual roots can only accommodate one weapon spirit at a time, and there are too many top-level Donghuang cultural relics in the Sun Never Sets Museum."

"So Shi Fengdan and I came up with another plan."

After Xu Yonghe finished speaking, he took out a notebook containing sketches of various cultural relics from his coat pocket.

"This is the information I collected when I went to the British Museum some time ago. It contains a lot of data collected through the ability of detection. I think this notebook should be enough for you to reproduce the artifacts in it."

"I understand, but the problem is, after I make the replicas, the number of stolen cultural relics is so huge, and we can't take so many replicas out of the country."

Xu Yonghe: "So I have already thought of a plan to deal with it. Now I will turn to the last page of the book."

"The last page, is this... the Three Kings Pot?"

"You mean to use the barrier power of the Three Kings Pot spirit?"

Jia Wenyan looked at the wine pot with the pattern of the three kings of lion, wind and peony on the notebook and asked curiously.

Xu Yonghe: "Yes. The Three Kings Pot, which originated from a wine pot, was designed to provide a space for fine wine that is not contaminated by foreign objects. It is this design idea that gives it the ability to construct a barrier."

"So as long as you make a replica of the Three Kings Pot as a carrier, Shi Fengdan can use this replica as a medium to accommodate the artifact spirits that were called back from the Never-Setting Sun Museum in a short period of time."

"And then I'll take the replica of the Three Kings Pot to the British Museum?"

"No, that would be too much trouble. Besides, the transportation of cultural relics is inherently risky. We cannot guarantee that the replica of the Three Kings Pot can survive until we bring all the artifact spirits back safely."

"So I have worked with the artifacts over there to come up with a somewhat risky but very effective strategy."

"Once you have completed the reproduction of all the artifacts, the artifact spirits in the British Museum will abandon their bodies immediately. They will use the power brought by the destruction of their bodies to cooperate with the Three Kings Pot to complete this long-distance transmission."

"Although this approach will cause us to lose those lost cultural relics forever, it is the only way to bring all the artifacts home in a short period of time."

"go home."

Jia Wenyan murmured.

Replicating all the cultural relics in the British Museum is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time, but perhaps this is the instinctive reaction of a Donghuang person.

Ever since Grandma Xu told her about her plan, she never thought about how huge the workload of this task was. She was just worried about how much time it would take to replicate so many cultural relics.

But since Xu Yonghe made this plan, he naturally considered the possibility in this regard.

She never thought of asking Jia Wenyan to replicate all the cultural relics in the real world right from the start.

Her plan was to carry out all of this within the spirit space of the Three Kings Pot.

In the weapon spirit space, Jia Wenyan has enough time and materials to complete her replica work. By then, they can store all the weapon spirits in the Three Kings Pot, and Jia Wenyan can also have time to reshape the bodies of the weapon spirits one by one in the real world.

This is the plan formulated by Xu Yonghe. It is the only solution she can think of at the moment. But at the same time, once this plan is implemented, it means that Jia Wenyan must complete the reproduction of the entire British Museum's cultural relics twice, in the artifact spirit space and the real world respectively.

The amount of work involved is self-evident, so from the moment Xu Yonghe made up her mind to tell Jia Wenyan about this plan, she had already made up her mind.

"As long as you can help me complete this task, then starting from the time you start this artifact, I will change the Yong'an Museum to your name after you complete the first stage of transferring the artifact spirits. And if you can make all the recalled artifact spirits have new bodies in the homeland of Donghuang before I die, I will leave all the dowries in my two warehouses to you to inherit."

Jia Wenyan: "No, grandma, there's no need. This is what I should do."

When Jia Wenyan heard this, she quickly waved her hand to refuse.

In her eyes, she had already gotten a great deal by getting the management rights of Yongan Museum (Xingqiao Art Museum). She couldn't imagine that she might really have the opportunity to own a museum of her own.

Then there is no need to mention the top national treasures that Xu Yonghe mentioned as her dowry.

What a concept, although she still doesn't know what kind of cultural relics are contained in the two warehouses.

But she was sure that the part she saw alone was enough to support the exhibition lineup of a top museum.

Especially the imperial seal which was of the greatest historical value. Jia Wenyan really couldn't imagine that one day she would have the opportunity to establish a sense of belonging with such an existence.

As an undergraduate student who has not yet officially graduated, Jia Wenyan feels that she has gained enough.

She wanted to refuse knowingly, but Xu Yonghe held her hand first and said:

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, because this is my duty."

"I have enjoyed the benefits that the Golden Eyes of Time have brought me, so I must fulfill the obligations behind this ability."

"My ability is to detect and identify, which means I have the responsibility to bring back lost national treasures one after another."

"This is my mission, and now that I have passed part of this mission on to you, I should also pay you the corresponding compensation."

"Rather than worrying about how much I offer you, you should think about how to use these resources to fulfill your responsibilities."

Xu Yonghe: "Your task is no easier than mine."

"Inheritance..."

Jia Wenyan muttered in her heart when she heard this.

Xu Yonghe's words made her think of many things that she had once overlooked.

Just as Grandma Xu mentioned, people have as much responsibilities as they have abilities. Since they are lucky enough to have the help of the Golden Eyes of Time, they should fulfill the value that this ability should achieve.

Grandma Xu, who has the ability to perceive and identify, chooses to find lost cultural relics as her life goal. Then, correspondingly, I, who can inherit the skills from the spirit of the artifact, should work hard to continue these traditional skills.

The more Jia Wenyan thought about it, the more she drifted away. Seeing this, Xu Yonghe, who was standing beside her, chose not to disturb her.

In her eyes, Xu Yonghe, who had also awakened the golden eyes of time, was like her former self.

She also reflected on her life and future under the guidance of her teacher.

As someone who has experienced this, she understands how important this moment is to the girl in front of her. And what she has to do is to clear the obstacles for these children in the future as much as possible. However...

"How can she reasonably and legally leave the treasures in these two warehouses to this child?

The more Xu Yonghe thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

Yes, it was true that her previous act of matchmaking was to find a suitable reason to bring Jia Wenyan here, but apart from that, she also had her own selfish motives.

As an expert in treasure appraisal who has helped the country recover countless national treasures, she never minds handing over the cultural relics to the country so that they can be well protected.

But the things in these two warehouses are different. They are national treasures, yes, but at the same time, they are also her dowry, things left to her by her ancestors and parents, so if possible, she also hopes that they can be inherited by her descendants.

It's just like what Zhen Yuandao said, her grandson who was full of Chuunibyou seemed...

"It's really not very reliable!"
