After listening to Li Kangkai's narration, Deng Long and the others were very happy. They also wanted to meet the direct grandson of this southern tomb robber king. Indeed, this treasure hunting trip to Dunhuang is a huge challenge for the brothers. If there are tomb robbers,
If the king's grandson joins, the chances of winning will undoubtedly be much greater.
"Hey! I said, Lao Li, are you still pretending to be a Bodhisattva? Go and contact the little tomb robber!" Ma Tiexin laughed loudly.
"I said, Lao Ma, you are becoming more and more venomous now. When you call others a tomb robber, isn't that embarrassing others?" Li Kangkai stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
"Support Lao Li, tomb robbing is also an art. Do you understand art? Lao Ma! If it were you, I might not be able to get this job." Deng Long also laughed and agreed.
"Damn it, you two guys are working together to deal with me, no! I won't argue with you!" Ma Tiexin lit a cigarette, leaned on the recliner and fell asleep.
Li Kangkai took out a notebook from the house and walked to the phone and dialed the number. Soon Duan Yuxuan's excited voice came from the phone.
"Brother, I need your help with something. I wonder if you are free now!" Li Kangkai asked
"Yes, yes, yes..."
About twenty minutes later, Duan Yuxuan, the legendary grandson of the tomb robber king, drove his self-modified super off-road vehicle to the downstairs of the detective station.
"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door. Deng Long smiled and walked to the door and opened it.
Duan Yuxuan looked at the tall young man standing at the door, smiling and exuding a gentle affinity. He opened his eyes wide, pointed at Deng Long, and stammered: "You, you, are you brother Deng Long?"
"Haha, Brother Duan really has a good eye. I am Deng Long. Welcome!" Deng Long opened the door and let Duan Yuxuan in.
Entering the room, Duan Yuxuan looked at Ma Tiexin carefully like a child, and suddenly said happily: "If I guess correctly, this burly brother is the number one killer in Nanyang, Brother Qinglong Ma Tiexin?"
Ma Tiexin said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, you guessed wrong, I am He Chao!"
Duan Yuxuan touched his head, looked at Li Kangkai and said, "Brother Li, didn't you say last time which one looked the most ferocious and looked the most... was it Brother Ma?"
Ma Tiexin's face suddenly turned pale, and his teeth were itching with hatred. He glared fiercely at Li Kangkai, who was leaning forward and back with a smile.
"Brother Duan, he is joking with you. This is the Brother Ma you want to see!" Deng Long laughed.
Duan Yuxuan smiled awkwardly and asked, "I finally met some of my elder brothers. By the way, Brother Li, didn't you just say you had work to do?"
Li Kangkai and the others stopped laughing and said seriously: "Xiao Duan, we recently got a strange piece of wood that is hard to figure out for the moment. I want you to take a look."
Deng Long picked up the piece of wood from the table and handed it to Duan Yuxuan
Duan Yuxuan took the piece of wood and looked at it carefully. After a while, his face became solemn and his brows furrowed, and he asked: "Brothers, can you tell me how you got this ancient wood?"
Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin looked at each other and at the same time turned their attention to Deng Long. Deng Long nodded and briefly told the origin of the wood.
Duan Yuxuan kept stroking the ancient wood and said seriously: "Brothers, you really don't know what this piece of wood is?"
Ma Tiexin waved his hand and said, "Xiao Duan, what's so strange about this broken piece of wood?"
Duan Yuxuan put down the wood, pulled up a chair, sat at the table and said seriously: "This wood is called Heji wood. It is born at the intersection of yin and yang. It absorbs the yin and yang of heaven and earth. It is heavy and solid and will not rot or change for thousands of years.
It is neither wet nor corroded by water, and can ward off evil spirits, which is rare in the world. It is said that Emperor Qianlong was lucky enough to receive a piece of it as a tribute from the Daldaha tribe and made it into a pillow. It later became the royal pillow of all emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, a piece of it was
The Old Summer Palace was burned down, and the pillow disappeared. From then on, there was no mention of Hejimu in the world."
Li Kangkai beamed with joy and said to Deng Long and Deng Long who were equally excited: "Xiao Long, Lao Ma, you see Xiao Duan is very knowledgeable, and you can tell the origin of this piece of wood at a glance!"
Deng Long nodded and said: "Well, looking at it this way, this piece of wood is somewhat related to the treasure. At least this piece of wood itself is a treasure."
Duan Yuxuan carefully stroked the Dunhuang suicide note for a while and said: "Several eldest brothers, our ancestors made drawings and annotations for various precious antiquities, so the younger brothers can recognize it at a glance. This Heji tree is priceless in the market."
, but a real treasure”
Deng Long and the other three looked at each other and nodded knowingly. Deng Long took the Dunhuang suicide note, patted it twice on his hand and said, "Brother Duan, have you heard of the Dunhuang suicide note?"
Duan Yuxuan nodded and said: "Yongjia was in chaos, the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed, the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established. The "Five Hus" appeared in the vast northern region, the "Sixteen Kingdoms" melee, and the separatist situation. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Hexi region was established successively.
After the feudal regimes of Qianliang, Houliang, Nanliang, Xiliang, and Northern Liang, during the Zhang Jun period of Qianliang, Dunhuang was renamed Shazhou. In 400 AD, Li Gao took Dunhuang and proclaimed himself king, establishing the Xiliang Kingdom. Dunhuang was the first in history.
It became the capital of the country for the first time, and later died in Northern Liang. When the three regimes of Qianliang, Xiliang, and Northern Liang successively ruled the Hexi region, they paid more attention to the internal affairs, the security of the people and the environment, the lightness of corvee and the reduction of taxes, the encouragement of farming and mulberry cultivation, the advocating of Confucianism, and the establishment of education.
This brought social stability, economic prosperity, and cultural prosperity to the Hexi region. After Li Gao's death, he built a huge underground tomb to store his treasures and left a suicide note, known as the Dunhuang suicide note in history. Later, it is said that Li Yuanhao obtained
Dunhuang posthumous notes established the Xixia Kingdom"
Deng Long asked in surprise: "Could it be that what Li Yuanhao got at that time was this Dunhuang suicide note, and he cracked the secret in it and got the treasure that was stored in the underground tomb of Xiliang King Li Gao?"
Duan Yuxuan touched his chin and said: "It should be like this logically. Li Yuanhao's establishment of the Xixia Kingdom naturally requires a lot of money. I think Li Yuanhao should have cracked the secret of the Dunhuang suicide note, but no history books have mentioned it.
Things we can only guess at”
"So, whoever gets this Dunhuang suicide note can own the treasure passed down by Li Gao?" Ma Tiexin asked in confusion.
"It stands to reason that this is the case, but history says that Li Yuanhao was greedy for money. Since Li Yuanhao's death in Xixia, Li Yuanhao, who has become increasingly poor and weak, locked all the money he collected back into the underground tomb after his death, and this Dunhuang suicide note is
It was lost, so that his descendants were poor and weak and were eventually wiped out by the Mongols." Duan Yuxuan nodded.
"According to legend, in 1227, the Mongolian general Chahan entered Yinchuan. After the fall of Xixia, the Mongolian army searched the entire Xixia palace and imperial mausoleums, but could never find the treasures of the Xixia royal family. Since then, all dynasties, including kings,
Everyone, down to the tomb robbers, wants to search for the secret and missing treasures of the Xixia Dynasty, but for hundreds of years they have never been able to find any," Li Kangkai added.
"Presumably no one has discovered the Dunhuang suicide note since Li Yuanhao, including his descendants of the Xixia royal family. I didn't expect that this thousand-year-old treasure would be discovered by a foreigner," Deng Long said
"Brother Duan, can you break the secret of this piece of wood?" Ma Tiexin asked
"If it is really the legendary Heji tree, I think I have a way to try it!" Duan Yuxuan patted his chest and said.
