Hearing the result of the appraisal, everyone's eyes were focused on Choi Hongseong. Many people present were nervous. They didn't know if the appraiser brought by Koryo would be partial to their own people.
Choi Hongseong didn't care about this and continued, "Mr. Daegeun is the most famous diplomat in our country more than 500 years ago. He has superb calligraphy, which can be said to be his own style.
"After my appraisal just now, this letter and this IOU were both written by Mr. Daegeun, and they are also stamped with the seal of our country's king."
"In addition to these two points, these two scrolls are antique and the traces of carving are obvious. I'm sure that they are antiques from more than 500 years ago."
"In conclusion, I'm sure that this letter and this IOU are authentic!"
"Cough … Cough … Cough … Cough …"
Liu Qigong coughed even more violently this time. Antiques from more than 500 years ago were obviously made by Qin Haodong in less than five minutes.
However, he didn't dare to tell his apprentice about this in his life. Otherwise, it might completely destroy Choi Hongseong's belief in antique appraisal.
After hearing this result, the audience in the whole venue cheered. They didn't expect that Qin Haodong would really take out the IOU of the Compendium of Materia Medica. Now they could return it to its original owner!
Li Mintae looked incredulous and said with a pale face, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Mr. Choi, did you see it wrong?"
Choi Hongseong's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Professor Li, you can deny it. You can refuse to return the Compendium of Materia Medica, but you can't insult my profession and my appraisal results."
"I can guarantee with my identity as an appraiser that these two things are authentic. As for whether you will return the Compendium of Materia Medica or not, that's a matter of your personal credit."
Qin Haodong was overjoyed. This guy was really interesting. Not only did he give him the result he wanted, but he also helped him. Now, under the watchful eyes of the public, he was afraid that Li Mintae couldn't go back on his word even if he wanted to.
Su Hui's face was strange. In her opinion, Qin Haodong had conquered this man with a carrot.
"Don't deny it. You have to return the things you borrowed. Hurry up and return the Compendium of Materia Medica to us …"
"Your appraiser said that the IOU is authentic. What reason do you have not to return it?"
"Li, do you want to go back on your word in front of the whole world?"
"I … I …"
Lee Mintae looked at the excited audience, looked at Alice, whose eyes were shining next to him, and then looked at the camera above his head. Although he was extremely reluctant to return the Compendium of Materia Medica, he was finally under pressure and said with difficulty, "I repeat what I said. This Compendium of Materia Medica will be returned to Huaxia."
After that, he reluctantly pushed the Compendium of Materia Medica to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong took the ancient book and handed it to Liu Qigong. "Old Master, please hand it to the country for me!"
Liu Qigong held the original copy of the Compendium of Materia Medica and said excitedly, "Little Qin, I thank you on behalf of all the Huaxia people!"
He knew the value of this book. If it was taken to the auction, it could be sold for at least hundreds of millions or even billions. It was really commendable that Qin Haodong could return such a valuable thing to the country without hesitation.
"Hooray, our things are finally back …"
"Good job! The Holy Doctor is a good man … "
"The Compendium of Materia Medica belongs to Huaxia. Li Shizhen belongs to Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine. It belongs to Huaxia …"
Seeing that the treasure that had been passed down in his family for many generations was taken away just like that, Lee Mintae's face was pale and his heart was bleeding.
He had thought that his strategy was foolproof, but he didn't expect that it would be easily destroyed by the young man in front of him, and he even lost the original copy of the Compendium of Materia Medica.
Qin Haodong looked at him and said with a smile, "Professor Lee, since the book has been returned, this receipt is yours. "Take it away. This is an old object from five or six hundred years ago. If you take it out to auction, you can sell it for a lot of money."
Looking at the two scrolls in front of him, Lee Mintae didn't know what to feel in his heart. This was a mockery of him and the entire Koryo.
If this thing was spread out, it could only prove that Koryo used to be a vassal of Huaxia, and Koryo medicine originated from Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, no matter what, he would not take these two things out to auction.
After the appraisal, Liu Qigong and Choi Hongseong walked off the stage together and sat in the audience seat next to them. The debate on the stage continued.
As the leading teacher and the person in charge today, Su Hongbo was beaming with joy at this time. He was extremely proud.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring the Medical Sage to this exchange meeting today. Otherwise, this big trouble would be really difficult to solve. Maybe he would lose face in front of the whole world.
He looked at Lee Mintae with a smile and said, "Professor Lee, now the truth is out. The Compendium of Materia Medica belongs to Huaxia, and Li Shizhen also belongs to Huaxia. From this, it seems that traditional Chinese medicine was also spread from Huaxia to Koryo. What else do you have to say?"
Lee Mintae had calmed down at this time. After all, the debate had just begun, and he still had other trump cards that he hadn't used yet.
"Professor Su, it's just a book. It can't explain so many things."
Su Hongbo said, "Do you have other evidence to prove that traditional Chinese medicine came from Koryo?"
"Of course!" Lee Mintae said plausibly, "Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Koryo medicine, it's all about acupuncture. Among these four words, 'needle' ranks first, which shows the importance of acupuncture.
"And now I can prove that acupuncture came from our country."
Su Hongbo frowned. As everyone knew, acupuncture was a part of traditional Chinese medicine. How could it be from Koryo?
He said, "Professor Lee, you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have?"
"Of course I have evidence!" Lee Mintae said and shouted to the audience, "Bring it up."
After receiving his order, several young people from Koryo Medicine University carried a heavy wooden box to the stage.
Everyone was very curious. This box looked so heavy. They didn't know what was inside. What did it have to do with acupuncture?
They put the box in the middle of the stage, and then removed the outer packaging. A simple and magnificent bronze statue appeared in front of everyone.
Su Hongbo and Fang Helun suddenly stood up, and Liu Qigong, who was under the stage, was also shocked. He exclaimed, "This … this is the acupuncture statue!"
Lee Mintae glanced at Su Hongbo and said proudly, "Yes, this is the acupuncture statue produced by our country. It has a history of about five or six hundred years. This is the crystallization of our country's Koryo medicine, and it's also the best proof of our great achievements in acupuncture."
"Nonsense!" Fang Helun shouted, "Everyone knows that this acupuncture statue belongs to our Huaxia.
"In the fifth year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Renzong of Song ordered Hanlin Academy Medical Officer Wang to make an acupuncture statue. Its height was similar to that of a normal adult. The front and back sides of the chest and back could be used to connect the internal organs. The surface of the statue was engraved with acupoints, and the names of the acupoints were engraved next to them.
"At the same time, the acupoints on the surface of the statue were sealed with yellow wax and water was poured into them. If the acupoints were accurately chosen, the water would flow out. If the acupoints were not chosen correctly, the needles would not be able to pierce through.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were also bronze statues made for acupuncture. They were ordered by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to imitate the bronze statues of the Northern Song Dynasty. They were made in the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the long passage of time and the chaos of war in the later period, these bronze statues were all lost and their whereabouts were unknown.
Your bronze statue was passed down from our country. How could it be made in your country? "
"Are you kidding me?" Lee Mintae said, "This acupuncture statue was made by the ancestors of our Lee family. It's the embodiment of the acupuncture skills of Koryo medicine. It has nothing to do with your country."
As far as I know, there are similar acupuncture bronze statues in the museum of Huaxia, but they are hundreds of years later than mine. The so-called acupuncture bronze statues in the Song Dynasty are just a legend. There is no evidence at all. I guess the technology of making acupuncture bronze statues came from our Koryo Guoxue. "
Qin Haodong was amused. Lee Mintae was really simple-minded. He took the treasure of Huaxia and then made a false accusation. Couldn't he change the method?
Su Hongbo said, "Don't talk big. Don't you see that the acupoints on this acupuncture statue are marked with ancient Huaxia characters?
"So what? These are the kind ancestors of our Lee family. They used Huaxia characters in order to make it convenient for you people to learn. " Lee Mintae sneered and said, "Do you want to say that it was borrowed from your country again? If you have the ability, take out another loan receipt!"
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ridicule Su Hui to express his dissatisfaction just now, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qin Haodong say, "Yes! Yes! Yes!
I really saw the loan receipt for the acupuncture statue at Mr. Liu's house just now, so I brought it here. It's in the car now. I'll go get it now. "
After that, he stood up and walked quickly out of the venue.
Lee Mintae was suddenly dumbfounded. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Qin Haodong really had a loan receipt. How was this possible?
Had his ancestors gone mad? It was one thing to borrow things from Huaxia, but why did they leave a loan receipt for everything?
Cui Hongseong said to Liu Qigong, "Teacher, is what he said true? Do you still have the loan receipt for the acupuncture statue? Where did you get such a valuable treasure? "
Liu Qigong was speechless. When he just came out, Qin Haodong had brought his ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the carved radish. He said that it might be useful, but he didn't expect that it would really be useful now.
He didn't get in the car to get it, but to make it. Not to mention the loan receipt for the acupuncture statue, no matter what Lee Mintae took out today, as long as it belonged to Huaxia, Qin Haodong could take out the loan receipt.
He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I got it by chance from a street stall."
Cui Hongseong sighed and said, "Huaxia is really a big country with abundant resources and a long culture. You can find such good things from a street stall. Our country can't do that. There are not many cultural relics, and there are even fewer good things that we can find."
