"The tomb of a thousand-year-old ghost? What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with your brain or am I not sober now?"
Ren Chunqiang was a little confused. After taking the dim and black object thrown by Zhuang Rui, his right hand suddenly sank and he almost missed the gold cake. It was obvious that the weight of the object exceeded Ren Chunqiang's estimation.
Generally, the gold unearthed from tombs is not as shiny as people imagine, but the surface is somewhat dark and dark. People who have not studied gold may even think it is brass.
However, Dr. Ren had seen a lot of unearthed gold and silver. Once he got his hands on it, he immediately recognized it. He opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "This...is this gold?"
Dr. Ren had just woken up from the shock of seeing the ghost. He couldn't help but shake his head and carefully picked up the gold cake in his hand. He even took the gold cake in his mouth and took a bite. He wanted to confirm that this was not his hallucination.
.
You know, the higher the purity of gold, the softer it is, and it can be scratched with a fingernail. After Dr. Ren took the gold cake away from his mouth, two tooth marks were clearly visible.
"Zhuang Rui, where did you get gold with such high purity?"
Looking at the tooth marks on the gold cake, Ren Chunqiang became more and more surprised. Is there really a crystal palace hidden in this lake? Otherwise, Zhuang Rui had been missing for more than an hour and he actually brought a piece of gold with him?
"Brother Ren, look at what's written on it?" Zhuang Rui smiled but didn't answer.
"Huh? This...is this font?"
Dr. Ren blushed. He had looked carefully just now and saw that there were indeed some lines on the gold cake, but he regarded them as some patterns. After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, he started observing again.
"This... should be ancient Mongolian writing, the earliest kind..."
Looking at the words on the gold cake, Dr. Ren pondered for a while and said with a wry smile: "This kind of writing was only circulated among the Mongolian royal family at that time, and ordinary Mongolians were not allowed to learn it, so it was later lost. Now we know this font
There are not many people..."
Although Dr. Ren's research direction is not Mongolian and Yuan culture, he is familiar with everything and knows a little about the history at that time, but he cannot recognize the words on it like Zhuang Rui did.
"Hehe, Brother Ren, I happen to know these words. When read together, they are called "四儿久金". Can you think of anything?"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. This was the first time he met a senior brother who seemed to know everything. There were still things he didn't know about theory.
"Bo'er is only a catty? Why does it sound so awkward to pronounce? Brother Zhuang, what does this mean?"
Before Dr. Ren could answer, Peng Fei, who had already recovered, asked. He had seen a lot of gold cakes like this in the underwater cave before.
"Hey, let me tell you, what are your expressions like this?"
After Peng Fei finished asking, he didn't see Zhuang Rui answer him, but he saw several people around him with their mouths wide open, with expressions of shock, confusion, and excitement on their faces.
"Bo...Boerzhijin, that...that is the surname of our Mongolian Khan, Temujin, Ba...brother Bater's surname is Boerzhinjin..."
Timur's stammering words solved Peng Fei's confusion. As a member of the Golden Family more than a thousand years ago, only Temujin's descendants are qualified to have the surname "Bo'er Jijin".
And Battle happened to be a direct descendant of Temujin. His ancestors had stayed on the prairie to guard their ancestors' tombs for thousands of years. During the Qing Dynasty, Battle might have been able to become a Mongolian prince.
This piece of gold cake has the words "四媛孛园斤" on it, which will be related to Genghis Khan no matter what. Therefore, except for Peng Fei, who is confused, the other people who know the origin of these four words are all
Inexplicably shocked.
"Zhuang Rui, did you read that correctly?"
Dr. Ren asked dubiously. He really couldn't believe that Zhuang Rui could find information about the Golden Family just by fishing in the lake?
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said with a serious face: "Brother Ren, it's not like you don't know my major. I really don't know Mongolian characters, but some books published in modern times have comments on these characters..."
"Then...how...how did you get this?"
Only then did Dr. Ren remember to ask about Zhuang Rui's experience at the bottom of the lake. In just over an hour, Zhuang Rui went from missing to showing up to bringing such an amazing object, which made Dr. Ren's brain a little short of oxygen.
"Well, it's like this. There is a cave at the bottom of the lake. After I swam in, I discovered..."
Zhuang Rui told half-truths and half-truths what happened at the bottom of the lake, focusing on carefully explaining the traces of ax chiseling on the other side of the cave at the bottom of the lake. Of course, the cave was only discovered accidentally.
"This...could it be the Mongolian royal tomb?"
Due to the sensitivity of archaeological work, after listening to Zhuang Rui's story, the first thought in Dr. Ren's mind was to discover the tombs of the Mongolian kings.
Just imagine who, other than the Mongolian emperor, has the ability to dig a cave at the bottom of a lake? The motive is self-evident, it must be the emperor's residence after death.
Thinking of this, Dr. Ren couldn't help but get excited. The tomb of the Mongolian emperor has been the goal pursued by countless people for thousands of years. In terms of its mystery and concealment, even the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang cannot compare with it.
"Brother Ren, I'm not sure, but there must be huge secrets hidden inside. I think... we need to conduct further investigation..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head. Of course he would not tell the story of Genghis Khan's mausoleum at the end of the underground river. Out of concern for the aura in his eyes, Zhuang Rui did not want to say too much. He only needed some guidance at this time.
"It's necessary, of course it's necessary, it's simply too necessary..."
After Dr. Ren heard Zhuang Rui's words, he nodded his head like a rattle. Are you kidding? He discovered clues to the tombs of the Mongolian emperors. That shocked the world. Is it unnecessary?
If it can be proven that there is an imperial mausoleum inside, then the few people present will be recorded in history, just like the archaeological predecessors who discovered the "Fossil Peking Man Skull" and become a model for future generations to learn and admire.
"Brother Ren, maybe there is nothing inside. In recent years, many people have claimed to have discovered the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan or the Mongolian King..."
Zhuang Rui deliberately poured cold water on him. What he said is true. Since the beginning of the last century, countless people have had illusions about the Mongolian royal tombs. There are even large financial groups from many countries that have funded some explorers to enter Inner Mongolia.
and Outer Mongolia for an archaeological expedition.
Many scholars and expedition teams once claimed to have discovered the tomb of Genghis Khan, but the final scientific research results proved that they only found the tombs of some ordinary Mongolians at best, not even nobles.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Dr. Ren waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's different, Zhuang Rui, what's different is that the previous discoveries were all excavated on the surface, and the caves you discovered underground are at least as deep as
More than ten meters, it was most likely built by the Mongolian emperor..."
Zhuang Rui felt happy when he heard this. He was afraid that Ren Chunqiang wouldn't believe it. Now that he saw Ren Chunqiang's attitude, he must have started counting down the time until the imperial mausoleum is released.
"Brother Ren, then... what should we do?" Zhuang Rui deliberately looked like he didn't know what to do.
"Zhuang Rui, I want to go down with you. Once we see the real situation inside, if it is the same as what you said, we must report it to the instructor immediately..."
Dr. Ren is extremely rigorous when it comes to archaeological work. He will only make a decision after seeing the conditions inside with his own eyes.
"In addition, we need to ask the local garrison to seal this place tightly and not allow any outsiders to enter. Brother Battle, I want you and Peng Fei to handle this matter together. Remember not to leak any information..."
Ren Chunqiang attaches great importance to the protection of unearthed tombs. You must know that man-made disasters are sometimes more serious than natural disasters. If those with ulterior motives learn that there is a tomb of a Mongolian emperor here, people may have gone inside before they can excavate it.
The building is empty.
"This this……"
But Dr. Ren didn't expect that after he said these words, Battelle, who had always been forthright, would show a troubled look on his face. Ren Chunqiang suddenly thought about it and suddenly understood.
As a direct descendant of Gis Khan, Barter must have been feeling quite complicated when he heard that outsiders were going to dig up his ancestor's tomb. It was extremely rare that he did not fall out with Zhuang Rui.
"Brother Battle, Mongolian culture is an extremely important period of history in China. The purpose of our archeology is to excavate and sort out these histories that have been forgotten by future generations, so that the historical truth can be reappeared in the world. And during the excavation process, we will definitely protect it.
The remains of our ancestors..."
Zhuang Rui also guessed what Battelle was thinking. After seeing Battel's ugly face softening, he continued: "The national archaeological excavation will ensure the integrity of the tomb to the greatest extent. If the tomb robbers get there first,
I am afraid that not only the objects in the mausoleum will be looted, but also the bones of the ancestors will be destroyed..."
Generally, the most valuable funerary objects in various tombs are found in the coffin next to the body of the tomb owner. Therefore, after tomb robbers enter the tomb, they focus on the coffin inside. Almost all tombs that have been robbed and abandoned will
It is inevitable that the corpse will be thrown away.
For example, when Sun Dianying robbed the tomb of Cixi and Qianlong, he plundered all parts of Cixi's body and threw the body into the ground. When the Qing Dynasty officials later entered the tomb, the originally uncorroded body was in terrible shape.
The fate of Emperor Qianlong was even more miserable. The corpses of Emperor Qianlong, who claimed to be the Perfect Emperor, and his queen were abandoned like grass and scattered throughout the mausoleum.
As a result, the remaining officials of the Qing Dynasty who finally cleaned up the mess were unable to distinguish the mixed corpses. However, after the death of Emperor Shiquan, a corpse was left with incomplete bones.
