Yang Jing didn't care about what the archaeological team would do next. He had already put in too much effort to hand over these two sets of treasures to the country. Now that the task was completed, the next things had little to do with him.
After coming out of the water, Yang Jing said hello to Mr. Wang and started climbing the mountain with the wooden box wrapped in a plastic bag.
Since the tomb of Wu Zetian below could not be preserved, they had to find another place for Yue Chengzi to settle down. In fact, the original Yuecheng Temple was the best, but that Taoist temple was about 100 meters below the water surface. So after thinking about it, Yang Jing decided to bury Yue Chengzi's remains halfway up the mountain.
In Chinese Feng Shui, people cannot be buried on the top of a mountain after they die, because burying a grave on the top of a mountain will cause the descendants to lose money, which is a taboo in burial. Although Yue Chengzi probably has no descendants, Yang Jing would not be stupid enough to bury his remains on the top of a mountain.
After burying Yuechengzi, they returned to the waterside. Gege, accompanied by Morris and others, was driving a speedboat waiting for Yang Jing.
"How did things go? I noticed that Mr. Wang looked a little heavy." Gege asked as Yang Jing got on the speedboat.
"It's OK. I'm just a guide. I discovered this place, and only I can lead them in. As for what the higher-ups decide next, that's their business, and I don't care. I'll call the master later. If everything is fine, we can go home directly."
The speedboat quickly broke through the water and sped across the Xiaolangdi Reservoir. It was so comfortable to speed across the water on such a hot summer day.
Yang Jing called Master Liu, told him the general situation here, and asked if he could go back.
The master asked Yang Jing to wait for a moment. After more than half an hour, the master called him and told Yang Jing that he could come back if he wanted to, as there was nothing for him to do there anymore.
This is good news. Although this place is beautiful with mountains and rivers, no one wants to stay outside all day in this kind of weather. It is simply life-threatening. How can staying here be better than staying in an air-conditioned room at home? Not to mention, Old Mike's treasures will soon be imported, and Yang Jing has to go back to take care of them. How can he waste time here?
After staying overnight in the ancient town, Yang Jing and his group drove back to Tianqu early the next morning.
On the way, Wang Jiazan's phone kept calling. It turned out that the treasures airlifted from the United States had arrived at Tianqu. Wang Jiazan, who had volunteered to take full responsibility for this matter, was a little dumbfounded after seeing so many precious antique artworks. He had no choice but to urge Yang Jing to come back quickly.
Fortunately, the museum’s underground vault is large enough and the space is fully utilized, so even though there are many antique artworks shipped from the United States, they can still be put away.
Yang Jing called the master and his team on the way and asked for support from the Palace Museum.
Now, including the old items collected by Lao Na and Pete Wu, plus the antique artworks shipped from the United States in the form of "cultural relics exchange", the two underground safes of the Grand Canal Museum are now full, with tens of thousands of pieces.
The most important thing is that most of these antique artworks and old objects are fine products. With so many good things, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Wang Jiazan alone.
When Mr. Liu and the others heard that Yang Jing had brought back many good things from abroad, and they had not seen all the treasures that Yang Jing had collected in Yanjing before, they immediately reported to Dean Shan after hearing their disciple's request. After seeking Dean Shan's consent, the four of them, along with more than a dozen experts and dozens of staff from the institute, took the high-speed rail straight to Tianqu to help the disciple deal with these treasures.
Mr. Yang, who lived in Tianqu, also used his connections to invite a number of people from the Tianqu Museum and the Provincial Museum to help collect these treasures.
With the participation of these experts, sorting out these treasures is much easier. For these experts and masters, it is also a very rare thing to be able to personally look through these exquisite antique artworks. Not to mention that most of these treasures are things they have never heard of before.
Therefore, although sorting out these treasures is a very hard job, it is like sweetness to these people. They wish they could do this kind of work every day.
Yang Jing's grandfather, Old Man Yang, and Old Man Yang's old friends who rushed over after hearing the news, when they saw so many priceless masterpieces gathered in Tianqu Museum, these masters of the older generation secretly admired the handwriting and courage of this young man Yang Jing.
These masters are all knowledgeable, but they cannot imagine that apart from the Palace Museum, there is any other private museum in the country that can compare with the collection of the Grand Canal Museum. Even the collections of most provincial museums are far inferior to this now unknown private museum.
Similarly, when it comes to valuable treasures, the collections of the Grand Canal Museum may not be as good as those of the Palace Museum, but they are definitely not far behind.
Don't be unconvinced by this! The Forbidden City doesn't have a complete set of wood-fired kiln utensils? The Forbidden City doesn't have the original copy of "Lanting Xu"? The Forbidden City doesn't have the original copy of "Yongle Encyclopedia"? The Forbidden City doesn't have the original copy of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"...
Not to mention the treasures that Yang Jing bought from overseas. Many of them are not available in the Palace Museum, let alone famous museums in the United States such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre.
