"Yes, treasure! But strictly speaking, it can only be a legendary treasure." Liao Mu said, "I don't understand, what do you mean by this?" Principal Wolf tilted his head and asked.
"When I say legend, I mean it remains to be proven whether there is a huge treasure house in this mountain."
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'unproven'? There is such a place where a lot of gold is buried. If you say that, isn't it the same as saying it in vain? Why don't you say it? A while ago you said that there is a tomb with treasures hidden in it. This Then you said there was a treasure inside, but I don’t know which of your words was true?"
"You kid! Are you going to argue with me? From what I tell you, this is already a serious violation of discipline! Are you still not satisfied?"
"What do you mean by being dissatisfied? Even the old man who picks up shit in Fenghua Village knows what you are saying. There are treasures in this mountain, there are big ingots, there are brilliant gold, there are white silvers, there are big dazzling diamonds. There are countless emerald agates, there are so many! What you said has yet to be proven, then you can prove it to me?" Upon hearing what Director Liao said, Principal Lang felt that the old Liao in front of him and Chen Da in the school explained 'Why are there so many beauties here' is the same, it is just one word: deception! If you deceive it right, it means there is it, and everyone will grab it, and everyone will make a fortune together. If you deceive it wrongly, it will be proved to be wrong and nihilistic. There is no need to strain your muscles and bones, it is not a problem at all, and it can be treated as a topic of chat after tea and dinner.
Regarding the question of whether there are treasures in the mountains, Liao Mu first heard it mentioned by Village Chief Wang, saying that many brave people risked going into the mountains for the treasures, but ended up going back more often than they should have, which was very scary. Later, he was chatting with the villagers. At that time, everyone also mentioned the treasures in the deep mountains and old forests, but Principal Wolf thought that those were just rumors and not credible at all.
But when he heard the policeman Liao Mu also said that there were treasures in the mountains, it was a different matter. After all, he was a director and he had to speak responsibly. But he had just listened to Liao Mu's words "not yet to be proven" At this time, the curiosity in his heart was greatly weakened. He felt that if something has not been proven, how could it be said that there was a treasure inside? To put it another way, before it was confirmed, how could you say that there was no destiny in it? Is there a gleaming golden mountain lying there for no reason?
"Tsk, it seems that you are just here to piss me off. What do you want me to tell you? This huge treasure belongs to... this... this country's secret. Originally, I didn't want to tell you. But there can't be a wall that never leaks. This secret may no longer be a secret. It doesn't matter if it is said. This matter has to start from Anlu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty." Liao Mu suddenly became a little mysterious.
Why is it An Lushan again? Principal Lang was puzzled because he remembered that when Chen Da explained the origins of the beauties in Fenghua Village, he also mentioned An Lushan and said that those beauties were directly related to An Lushan's son.
"You should know very well about An Lushan's rebellion? This will save me a lot of words." Liao Mu asked with a smile, "You don't even want to ask what I do, principal?" Lang Mo curled his lips and said.
"Okay, do you know what Tang Xuanzong took with him when An Lushan's rebel forces captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?"
"I don't know about this. Do you know about this?"
"I know, he took nothing with him, only the queen, a few concubines, and a small escort team, and fled Chang'an in a hurry."
"How did you know?"
"Just a wild guess!" Director Liao laughed.
"It's just a wild guess. You told me too?"
"I have said that everything has yet to be proven. But it is indeed recorded in the history books that this Tang Xuanzong man ran away faster than a rabbit, but there were still some very important things that he could not take away in time."
"what's that?"
"For example, it's the golden gold you mentioned." Liao Mu replied with a wink.
"Yes, gold! It's possible that gold is heavy and he can't lift it. But what does that mean?"
"This certainly explains the problem. Along the way, the rebels attacked cities and looted territory. Along the way, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. If you think about it, if they entered Chang'an, they would of course have to rob the most developed city at that time. Only when the bottom is turned to the sky will we give up."
"Yes, the truth is good, but have you ever thought about it. All the good things from the Tang Dynasty are buried in the tombs of Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong. The location seems to be in Qianxian County near Xi'an today. How many more things can they grab? ?”
Liao Mudao: "There is some truth to this. As the only tomb of two emperors in China, it is also the only tomb of a Tang Dynasty emperor in China that has not been robbed. It is known as the "Crown of Tang Tombs." I don't know how many things are in it. I know, we didn't dig it out anyway. However, I remember that as early as the early days of liberation, Guo Moruo said to Premier Zhou Enlai: "There is no doubt that there must be many calligraphy and painting books preserved in the tomb! Open the Qianling Mausoleum, maybe Wu Zetian's One hundred volumes of "Cui Gong Collection" and ten volumes of "Jin Lun Collection" can be seen again! Maybe the portrait of Empress Wu and the handwriting of Shangguan Wan'er and others can be seen! It must be an earth-shattering event!"
Guo Moruo only talked about calligraphy and painting, but the tomb may also contain a room full of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and even the small porcelain accidentally placed inside may be worth several million yuan. Some cultural relics workers have estimated that the contents inside There are at least 500 tons of various precious cultural relics!
After years of exploration and investigation, some people believe that 70% of the burial objects in the tomb should be filled with the most valuable treasures of the Tang Dynasty in the Qianling Mausoleum underground palace. When Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was buried, the value of the burial objects accounted for the entire country’s fiscal 13. More than 20 years later, Wu Zetian passed away, and 13 gold and silver jewels from all over the country were brought into Qianling. Moreover, it is clearly recorded in the history books that when Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was dying, he specifically left a last word to collect all the calligraphy and paintings he loved during his lifetime. Buried with him. Many experts also speculate that the top national treasure - "Lanting Preface" by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi is very likely to be hidden in the Qianling Mausoleum. This is definitely a huge treasure!"
"Yes, after all the good stuff has been buried, what else can they grab? Scrap metal?" Principal Wolf said with a disapproving smile.
"You also say that you understand history, but you don't even think about how many years the dynasty has gone through and how many emperors it has changed? After the death of the only female emperor, many treasures were buried. But after her death, it was Tang Xuanzong's turn After reigning for several decades, it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, known in history as the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Chang'an City also became the largest city in the world at that time. Think about it, how much wealth will be generated in these decades? The Anshi Rebellion happened to happen During this historical period, how much gold, silver and jewelry they would have stolen when entering Chang'an City. In today's terms, even if a coal train was used to transport it, it would have to make several trips. Therefore, we have calculated that based on the economic development at that time They believe that the wealth generated during the Kaiyuan era will definitely not be less than that of Wu Zetian's era. It may even exceed it, much more. They robbed all the way to Chang'an City, and the property captured in Anlu Mountain was worth a Mountains are not an exaggeration at all. Therefore, compared with this, the things in Wu Zetian's tomb are dwarfed and missing."
"Are you jealous?" Principal Wolf heard this and asked with a smile.
"Jealous? Of course I'm jealous! It's just that I'm jealous in my heart. I don't dare to think about so many things. I'll be exhausted to death!"
"Go on, Master of History. I think I'm somewhat interested in listening. What happened next?"
"Later? I, I don't know. Let's ignore the messy history of An Lushan's son An Qingxu killing An Lushan, Shi Siming killing An Qingxu, and Shi Siming's son Shi Chaoyi killing Shi Siming. But I know that they are gone. But treasures will not disappear for no reason. It is said that when An Qingxu was the emperor, when he felt that his position was not secure, he found a place to hide the piles of treasures as a way out. And this. ....”
"And this location is in the mysterious mountain behind Fenghua Village, right?" Principal Lang asked.
"Smart boy, so smart!" Liao Mu raised his thumb.
"Teacher Liao, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence, there is no evidence now! It's all nonsense. There seems to be no record in official history or unofficial history. It only says that the Anlushan rebels robbed a lot of things."
"Hahahahaha... You keep staring at these three stinky Taoist priests without any evidence. Don't you think your head is hot? Besides, An Xu wouldn't bring these treasures to his graveyard? If so, he would have been killed long ago. Just let those tomb robbers take care of everything, so when will it be your turn, Comrade Director, to be blind here?" Principal Wolf said with a smile.
"I said, how about you be distracted first! The evidence I'm talking about is the kind of evidence that can prove the existence of this treasure, not the specious reasoning evidence."
"Based for reasoning?"
"Yes, since before the liberation, and even dating back to the Qing and Ming dynasties, there have been many tomb robbers, explorers, and treasure hunters who have entered the Soul Mountain. Although the vast majority of them ended up in a sad state, dead and missing. People disappeared, people died of illness, and no treasures were found. But they also brought back some scattered clues, saying that large-scale artificial stairs, artificial altars, bunkers, underground tunnels, etc. were found in the mountains. They said that they had discovered a huge cemetery. In short, they talked about everything, but the most talked about were horror information. They said that they saw mountain monsters, mountain gods, strange beasts, as well as lewd ghosts, man-eating frogs, etc., etc., many, many .So, if you think about it, why are there buildings in such a terrifying and terrible place? So many people guessed that someone must have hidden their treasures there, or built their own tombs filled with gold and silver there. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such a terrible and terrible barrier as a protective layer, so we don't have to put too much thought into making any mechanism to prevent others from stealing through secret passages?
But if we really want to transport a large amount of gold and silver into that mysterious mountain, and also build huge tombs, bunkers, etc., how much manpower and material resources will it cost? That is not something ordinary people can do, so those detectives The treasurers are even more convinced that only people like emperors have the strength to do this, and only they can think of getting their treasures or tombs there. In this way, those who are concerned about General An Xu The theory that the astonishing amount of treasures stolen from An Lushan was hidden in the Lost Soul Mountain is even more solid," Liao Mu said.
"Well, what you said finally makes sense. When you said it, I remembered what you just said about the Tang Tomb. It is said that this is the only emperor's mausoleum that has not been stolen. In an aerial photo, there were objects of various sizes appearing in the sky. Waiting for several circles, right?"
"Yes, we found that this ring is about 110 meters in diameter and about 3 meters wide. It is located in relatively flat cultivated land. It has a light dark tone, which is obviously different from the tone of the surrounding fields. It is a kind of regional division. , or a military defense trench? Is it a crop circle, or a tomb accompanying the Qianling Mausoleum? Experts can’t figure it out either.
However, some people believe that it is precisely this mysterious circle that makes Qianling Mausoleum the only emperor's tomb that has not been robbed in the archaeological community. Therefore, Qianling Mausoleum is also said to be a "tomb that cannot be robbed." Of course, this speculation cannot be taken seriously. It is a fact. Qianling Mausoleum has been attempted to be robbed many times in history, and even large-scale excavations are common. In the early years of the Republic of China, Sun Lianzhong led the army to camp in Qianling Mausoleum and dug day and night for several months. Nothing was unearthed. It shows that that place must have its mysteries. So I think the function of the Soul Mountain may be similar to that of the strange circle, or the function of the mysterious substance that we have not discovered to truly prevent the tomb from being stolen. It is a natural barrier and a natural mechanism to prevent treasures from being stolen, but the barrier of Meteor Soul Mountain is countless times more dangerous and weird than that strange circle." Liao Mu further analyzed.
"Even if what you say makes sense, it's all speculation and you can't take it seriously. You must know that you are a policeman, not an ordinary Fenghua Village villager."
"You don't need to tell me about this, of course I know about it. But what you don't know is that before liberation, the local authorities sent people to investigate. But there was no result, and many people died. After liberation, from the 1960s, By the 1990s, the government sent people to quietly conduct inspections of the Soul Mountain four times, but the results were still the same. They returned in vain with the loss of troops and generals. However, through a recent secret inspection, an archaeological expert named Jin Chun said , there must be a huge secret in this mountain. As for what the secret is, he can't tell clearly, but he believes that the saying that there is treasure in this mountain of dead souls is by no means a mere rumor. It has its own truth. It's just that No one noticed." Liao Mu rubbed his nose and continued.
"Oh, I understand a little bit. So, there is really a treasure in this mountain, but it can't be found. In this case, why are you staring at those Taoist priests? They are just Taoist priests, what does it have to do with the treasures in the mountain? Even if they don't Thinking about the idea of finding treasures in the mountains, no one has discovered the secret of the mountain in the past few decades, not to mention hundreds of years. Can they find it? What are you so worried about?" Principal Wolf asked with a glare.
"You kid, you said you were smart, but you didn't even praise you, and you suddenly turned into a fool? You don't even think about it, yes, we can't find it, but you have to know, what if someone finds it?" "
"Send someone to dig it out. Have you made a fortune this way?" Principal Wolf replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh, I really don't know what state of mind you are in? You are a highly educated person and a primary school principal! Don't you know that this treasure belongs to the country? If you dig it, you can dig it and dig it. What's the difference between these tomb robbers?" Liao Mu frowned and cursed.
"I'm sorry, I'm a straightforward person and I speak too quickly, hehehehe..." Principal Wolf scratched his head in embarrassment and complained. "But now, haven't you discovered the secrets in the mountains yet? You don't have to do this either. Are you anxious?"
"I said you are a fool, but you are not convinced. Why don't you think about the problem in a different way? You think, sooner or later, this secret will be known to others. Instead of letting the tomb robbers know, it is better to let the state control this secret. Just because the people sent by the state can't be found doesn't mean that the tomb robbers can't be found. Therefore, we only need to keep an eye on all the movements of those tomb robbers or treasure hunters and follow them, just in case they find them one day. Will it give us some direction soon?"
Principal Lang looked at Old Liao in shock, shook his head, and finally smiled and said, "Director Liao, the reason why you keep staring at those Taoist priests is because you suspect that they are tomb robbers or treasure hunters, right?" "
"Yes, that's right. I hope so. In this way, there will be a few more guides. Although tomb robbers are hateful and dig up people's ancestral graves everywhere, isn't dialectics very good? Nothing can be said to be absolutely good. Whether it's bad or bad, maybe one day these people will discover the secrets of the mountains unintentionally, which will also make great contributions to the country.
"But they are Taoist priests. Have you ever seen Taoist priests dig up people's ancestral graves?"
"Taoist priest? Haven't you ever seen movies where those tomb robbers dress up in various ways?"
"Hahaha, Director Liao, I think you are very sinister." Principal Wolf paused and said with a smile.
"Insidious? Hahaha... Thanks for the compliment, if I tell you that as a policeman in Wumi Township, you have a special and most important task: to track suspicious people approaching the mountain pass at all times.
