The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

On January 28, when he returned to New York, Zhang Nan took his own plane to Europe again. The destination for this trip was Bordeaux, France, the land of fine wines.

Things have to be done, but hurry up, because Jenny and Alice will probably have children at the end of February and early March, and they will have to return to New York at least a week before that.

After waking up, I went out of the bedroom and went to the living room inside the plane. I saw Jerry Goodenkorn talking with another expert on cultural heritage history, Rick Becker, who he hired. The voice was not too small, it seemed to be discussing. The secret question on the "Jacques de Molay Cross".

There are still a lot of information on the coffee table, and there is even a huge satellite map, and they are still pointing and pointing, and they have slightly different opinions.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Nan smiled and said to the two of them: "You were talking about four hours ago, why is it not over yet?"

The two of them didn't notice him coming in just now, and stopped discussing when they heard the words. Jerry said to Zhang Nan who was sitting on the sofa: "Boss, it's the last two secret questions.

Jacques Morlay left three clear locations, we still think there are five, and the last two secrets should be able to be linked to other text..."

"Study slowly, not in a hurry, we have time."

All this stems from the huge Jacques de Molay cross.

Any precious object can be named. This is the name proposed by two experts, because after all the gems in the inlay were removed, it was discovered that the cross was actually the property of the headquarters of the Knights Templar left by Jacques de Molay Treasure map!

Jacques de Molay, born between 1240 and 1250, died on March 22, 1314, and became the 23rd and last commander of the Knights Templar on April 20, 1292 , In history with the founder of the Knights Templar Hugo-de Paying.

That black-hearted Philip IV owed him huge debts to the Crusaders because of the previous crusades, and the Knights Templar became his biggest creditor.

His Majesty wanted to integrate the various knights into his own name, so that he could greatly enhance his own strength, and secondly, his previous debts could be written off-he even wanted to put his power over the Pope-Emperor. superior!

Pope Boniface VIII was very dissatisfied with this and tried to expel Philip IV from the church, but Philip IV controlled him and tried him as a heretic, although Boniface VIII finally Rescued, but soon "died from fright" inexplicably.

The successor Pope Benedict XI did not live long. He died less than a year after becoming Pope. It is very likely that he was poisoned by Philip IV.

Protestant-emperor Clement V had to succumb to Philip IV to a certain extent, and even moved the entire Catholic Church from Italy to France.

Jacques Molay, the commander of the Knights Templar, of course did not agree to the integration of the Crusaders. As a result, he was executed by fire along with the commander of the Knights of Normandy and the commander of the Aquitaine.

The period of arrest and execution lasted as long as seven years. According to legends and records, Molay knew that the shameless Philip IV was going to completely destroy the Knights Templar when he was in prison, so he tried to take his nephew, Kiche- Count de Beaugé called to meet in prison.

He let his nephew secretly inherit the position of the Grand Captain, and asked the earl to swear to save the Knights Templar and preserve the treasures of the Knights until the end of the world.

Then Morley told his nephew: The tomb where the body of his former high priest is no longer there, and what is placed in the tomb is the archives of the Knights Templar.

Through these archives, you can find the huge treasures brought out from the Holy Land Jerusalem: among them are the crowns of more than 20 previous kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as well as the seven candlesticks in Solomon’s Temple, and four from the second century AD. Handed down in Roman times, Jinfu-tone books written in Latin gold font calligraphy.

Of course, this is only one of many legends. There are also legends that Jacques Morlay had a premonition that Philip IV was going to be a black hand before he was arrested, so he made preventive preparations in advance: not only shared the knights. The treasure was transferred, and the Templars under them were notified to secretly transfer their property.

At present, the "early transfer theory" is right.

The Jacques de Molay cross found in Kitzbüll is actually a hidden treasure map made by the chief of the regiment before he was arrested. The text in it indicated three treasures in the Knights.

There are also two places that are marked by secret marks, but before cracking the secret marks, only the approximate locations of these two places are known, and the exact locations cannot be known: these two secret marks may not be hidden treasures. It is necessary to thoroughly understand them. The meaning is just fine.

Zhang Nan is a pragmatist, so let's figure out the three clearly marked locations first!

The most recent point was near Bordeaux. After clarifying the situation the day before yesterday, Zhang Nan asked a question that other people seemed silly: The Knights Templar transferred their property out of France in advance, so why would they transfer part of it? Things to put in Bordeaux?

Then, including Nicole, Andre Jerry and others, looked at him with expressions that were difficult to express.

In the end, Nicole told Zhang Nan the reason: simply, medieval France was not France today. From 1154 to 1453, the Bordeaux region was simply British territory for 300 years!

Well, Zhang Nan can only say that he is a Chinese.

The plane arrived at Bordeaux Airport at noon. This time, the plane had just passed through the VIP channel. Through the thick glass, I saw the airport waiting hall crowded with people!

"What day is it today, how can it be like the Spring Festival?"

The weather is good, and such a backlog of passengers is obviously abnormal.

Hearing this, Paul knew what the Spring Festival travel season was, and he casually explained: “Probably the French are on strike. This trip looks like an airline. I don’t know if it’s a strike by a plane or the airline’s support for other departments. Engage in a support strike~www.readwn.com~ Oh."

Just after speaking, Zhang Nan suddenly reacted, "Fuck, why did France strike again?!"

When everyone walked, they couldn't help laughing when they heard the boss's sudden awakening.

Jerry in front of him smiled and said, "France is on strike every day. Working in spring, vacationing in summer, strikes in autumn, and holidays in winter are French traditions.

But boss, it’s a bit strange this time. Now that winter has not passed, why did they strike again?"

Well, while talking, Jerry found that he was also circumvented in, and he couldn't clear the situation.

Charlize Theron is still following this trip. She is now a member of the "treasure hunting team". After hearing everyone talking and laughing, she looked at the helpless crowd in the hall on the other side of the glass and said: "Who knows? , Or maybe someone else feels that wage growth is not as good as the company's profitability.

Anyway, the French are idle and idle. It's normal to strike out if there is nothing to do. "
