Chapter 1052 It's really worth buying! (Seeking a guaranteed monthly pass)
Liu Qingshan led Li Tie, Lu Fang and Boban, and followed behind the old housekeeper.
Li Tieniu is too big, so he can only watch the wind outside.
This is the underground storage room of the ancient castle. The entrance to the secret passage is on one wall.
The walls of the storage room are all built of stones, and the door is also decorated to look like stones, but after pushing it hard, it reveals a dark passage.
Several people were holding flashlights. Boban was experienced and held a candlestick in his hand.
As long as the candle on it will not go out, it proves that there is sufficient oxygen. This principle is probably similar to that of a ghost blowing a lamp.
At this moment, in the dead of night, in the underground passage, everyone is extra cautious.
In addition to the slight footsteps under their feet, they can even hear each other's heartbeats.
The secret road is longer than expected, and from time to time, it will turn at a right angle.
According to Boban's introduction, in fact, many ancient castles may have such secret passages or dense structures.
This is usually built at the same time when the castle is built, usually for the purpose of avoiding or escaping in case of danger.
"It seems that this place is already outside the castle?" The old butler lived in the castle for most of his life, even if he was underground, he could still feel the general orientation.
So after turning a corner, the tunnel ahead came to an end.
There is still a door on the stone wall there, but a few people tried it, but they couldn't open it. It is estimated that it has been blocked for a long time.
It seems that I can only go back the same way.
Boban is also very regretful: "It seems that this is just a passage for escape. I thought there would be something like a hidden treasure, ha ha ha."
In fact, everyone has the same idea, so they are all a little disappointed.
"Will there be similar secret doors?"
Liu Qingshan is also unwilling. For his current master, this secret path has no meaning.
So everyone had a glimmer of hope again. In the process of returning, they all held a flashlight with one hand, and with the other hand, they kept pushing or knocking on the walls on both sides a few times.
In the secret room, a dull voice echoed.
"Stop!" Liu Qingshan suddenly ordered in a low voice, and several people immediately stopped their steps and stopped their movements.
thump thump, there was a voice coming from the front.
"Iron Bull?" Liu Qingshan opened his mouth and asked.
Since Li Tieniu is holding hands outside, no one else can easily come in.
"Brother, it's me and grandpa!" But the voice of Little Six came from the front.
Soon, there was a flash of a figure at the turning in front, and Xiao Liuzi jumped out.
Followed by the dumb grandpa, taking his time.
Liu Qingshan understood a little bit, they must be knocking on the ground randomly, ordinary people may not feel it, but Master has a keen sense, obviously aware of it.
"Brother, it's very fun here, can it lead all the way to the outside of the villa?" Little Six was in high spirits, and children like this kind of adventure.
Liu Qingshan nodded, then shook his head: "It's blocked at the end, and I don't know where it goes."
Then he smiled at the dumb grandfather again: "Master, I have disturbed you."
The dumb grandfather waved his hand, and then gestured twice. Seeing Master's gesture, Liu Qingshan couldn't help opening his mouth: "Master, you said there is a secret room here?"
Then the dumb grandpa led the way, walked forward for more than ten meters, turned a right-angle turn, and the dumb grandpa gently patted the stone wall with his hand. Sure enough, the sound here was obviously different from other places, empty.
Then I saw the dumb grandpa push lightly with his palm, and a small door was pushed inward by him.
A faint musty smell emanated from the inside.
Boban dangled a candle in the door, and the light of the fire suddenly dimmed a lot. It seems that the inside is not ventilated.
Everyone is not in a hurry to go in, and the beams of a few flashlights shine in first.
The space inside is not too big, about twenty or thirty square meters.
In such a narrow space, it is still occupied by a large bed.
Boban smacked his lips: "Wouldn't it be the place where the owner of the old castle had a tryst with his lover?"
This is possible, the old aristocrats liked this tune.
Boban muttered while sweeping the flashlight on the wall, and then he heard a scream from his mouth, and the flashlight clanged and fell to the ground.
"Merciful Lord, please forgive my nonsense." Boban collapsed on the ground, kept crossing his chest, and kept praying.
"You bastard, what's wrong with you?" Lu Fang quickly pulled him up from the ground.
"Oh, I saw God." Boban still seemed not sober.
Liu Qingshan also noticed something unusual, he also hit the beam of the flashlight on the wall, and soon found that there was a portrait on the wall.
The man seemed to be hanging in mid-air, with long curly brown hair and a mysterious smile on his face, looking at Liu Qingshan strangely.
This strange scene also surprised Liu Qingshan.
However, his mental toughness, of course, is not comparable to that of Boban, so he calmed down instantly: "Boban, that is just a portrait."
Although Liu Qingshan said it lightly, only he knew the moment of shock just now.
And the dumb grandpa has already stepped into the secret room.
After the tossing just now, the air in the secret room has been circulated.
As the beams of several flashlights shone into the secret room, the light immediately brightened.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the oil painting on the wall.
Xiao Liuzi walked back and forth in the room, and then found a problem: "Wherever I go, the people in the paintings seem to be staring at me?"
"God is always watching us." Boban murmured, making everyone feel a little chilled down the back.
Liu Qingshan looked at this painting, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and finally his eyes fell on the hand of the person in the painting, holding a crystal ball in that hand, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered:
"This is Da Vinci's painting Salvator Mundi!"
Liu Qingshan remembered this painting because in 2017, this painting of the savior was sold for a sky-high price of 450 million US dollars, making it the most expensive artwork in history.
Because **** in the picture has a mysterious smile on his face, it is also called the male version of Mona Lisa.
At this time, Boban finally recovered, he shook his head: "No, this painting should not appear here."
Lu Fang also remembered something: "Boss, this painting seems to be stored in the Louvre."
Boban, on the other hand, is very familiar and introduced it to everyone: "The painting of the Savior was painted by the egg-painting maniac at the commission of King Louis XII of France.
"Until the turn of the century, it was found in the collection of Baron Francis of England."
"It's just that it has been damaged for a long time, so I asked an expert to repair it. Unsurprisingly, the damage was even more serious."
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and then Boban continued: "So the baron's grandson later sold this painting for 45 pounds."
"In the past few years, after going through several twists and turns, it was placed in the Louvre and is about to be restored by someone, so it is impossible to appear here."
After Boban finished speaking, he himself seemed to understand something: "Could it be that there are two of the same painting, oh my god, this one must be authentic!"
No one asked why, because everyone thought the same.
As for the reason, it can only be said to be a feeling.
When you see this painting for the first time, you will feel extremely magical, as if the person in the painting is watching you quietly, using the mysterious smile on his face to relieve all the suffering in your heart.
Of course Liu Qingshan was the most excited, because the painting that Boban mentioned has been suspected since then, and it was copied by Leonardo da Vinci's students.
A copy of a counterfeit is worth 400 million dollars, including commissions, worth 450 million U.S. dollars. Isn't this genuine piece a priceless treasure?
This is Da Vinci. Currently, there are less than 20 works circulating in the world.
And each piece is treasured in the museum, and there is absolutely no possibility of selling it.
Liu Qingshan just wants to laugh three times now: Hahaha, this ancient castle manor is really worth buying!
It is estimated that the owner of this ancient castle did not know which one. Before he died, he did not have time to tell the secret to future generations, so he was asked to take this huge advantage.
After calming down, Liu Qingshan asked Boban to go up and carefully take down the painting.
The painting is basically kept intact, just ask a professional to clean it up a little bit. Liu Qingshan holds the frame like a baby, just like holding a golden mountain.
Check the other items in the secret room carefully, they are basically daily necessities, only the silver candlestick is worth a bit.
Re-seal the secret room, everyone returned to the ground together, Liu Qingshan warned, don't make any noise about it.
Better than others, but the old butler is considered an outsider, but he has repeatedly said that he will keep his mouth shut.
Even if the news spreads, it doesn’t matter. Liu Qingshan bought the castle villa, which naturally includes everything here.
The next morning, everyone returned to Paris by car, and Liu Qingshan led Boban and Lu Fang to the Louvre.
Boban had some contact with the museum before, so he soon met several oil painting restoration experts in a studio.
At the same time, Mr. Henry, a deputy curator of the Louvre, received Liu Qingshan. After all, Mr. Mountain's identity is also extraordinary.
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Qingshan made it clear that there was an oil painting that needed to be cleaned up.
Curator Henry joked with a smile: "I don't know what good things Mr. Mountain found again? It's a pity that the two famous paintings last time are now in the collection of the British Museum."
After Boban carefully took out the oil painting from the bag, there were several exclamations in the room:
"Oh, that's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
It was the restoration experts who all exclaimed.
After a long time, curator Henry murmured: "This is the real Da Vinci, God is always watching us..."
