The Sacrifice Chronicles of the Yuan Dynasty also record that the sacrificial ritual five miles away from the mausoleum was "three times a day, with sheep as libations", and there is no record of killing horses for sacrifice.
Therefore, the Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team discovered a large number of ashes and remains of war horses at the "spiritual temple", which cannot prove that this "temple" is the altar 5 miles away from Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
"This investigation is just a step further based on previous discoveries. The discovery of new historical relics is a breakthrough. However, the discovery of Genghis Khan's tomb will never be as simple as 10 miles in radius. There will be something larger than this."
There are many more areas that need to be explored," Han Kongque speculated.
This area is likely to expand to a radius of 100 kilometers. This area is too large, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find anything within this area. However, the Korean peacock is different, and the tomb of Genghis Khan is not without traces.
Until now, not only the tomb of Genghis Khan, but also the tombs of the 14 emperors of the Yuan Dynasty have not been discovered. This was caused by the royal secret burial system of the Yuan Dynasty. However, historical records of the Ming Dynasty record that all emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were buried in Qilong Valley after their death.
According to the burial system of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial mausoleum did not have a tomb, and after the burial was completed, it was trampled down by thousands of horses. After the weeds grew up on the mausoleum, it would be difficult to find traces of it.
If this is the case, the Qulin Neighbor Mountain area is so vast that there is almost no trace of Genghis Khan's mausoleum?
In fact, this is impossible. Genghis Khan's mausoleum still leaves clues. For example, in the 9th year after Genghis Khan's death, Peng Daya from the Southern Song Dynasty became the first visitor.
According to his description, Genghis Khan's tomb has a radius of more than 30 miles, is surrounded by arrows as a fence, and is guarded by cavalry.
Ye Ziqi from the Ming Dynasty introduced in Cao Muzi that in order to facilitate the return of sacrifices, the Mongols killed the calves of a female camel in front of the mausoleum.
When offering sacrifices in the coming year, people will rely on camels to identify the nature of their blood relatives, with the female camel as the guide. The place where it stops and screams is the grave of the Great Khan.
It can be seen that arrow clusters and camel remains are all effective clues to the discovery of Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
It is precisely because of knowing this that after Han Peacock came here, he paid special attention to the bones of various animals buried underground. However, Han Peacock did not find the bones of a single animal.
Of course, there are not no individual skeletons on this land, but there are many complete ones, and there are even fewer camel skeletons. Han Peacock searched the surrounding area for more than ten kilometers, but found nothing.
If the camel skeleton is unreliable, then with the arrows as a circle, it is impossible that there is no arrow, right?
Therefore, we can only say that Han Peacock did not find the right place. It seems that Han Peacock underestimated the wisdom of ancient people.
When he first got the treasure map in his hand, Han Peacock was happy because it could roughly locate the location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
As long as there is this scope, for Han Peacock, it is equivalent to finding the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. However, now it seems that he took it for granted.
After studying for such a long time, Han Kongque discovered that the treasure map in his hand was probably the internal road map of the mausoleum.
Thinking that Aunt Wang's husband's ancestors were craftsmen who escaped from the mausoleum, he should record the passages in the mausoleum. Only by understanding the internal conditions of the mausoleum can he escape.
Therefore, by now, Han Peacock has given up hope on the treasure map in his hand.
However, this does not mean that this treasure map is useless at all. He mentioned the Great Forbidden Land above.
Now Han Peacock has returned to the temple, just to find the "Great Forbidden Land", and the "Great Forbidden Land" is the key to solving the mystery.
Although he has a simple map in his hand, the modern terrain is definitely very different from that of eight hundred years ago. At least many of the buildings on the ground have changed. Without such an obvious reference, the map in Han Peacock's hand is definitely very different.
A treasure map is almost useless.
Of course, if this were not the case, this treasure map would not fall into the hands of Han Peacock. However, with this treasure map, it would still be of some use to Han Peacock, such as the "Great Forbidden Area" recorded in the treasure map.
Most people have never heard of this name, but Han Kongque, who is very knowledgeable about history, knows it. Therefore, the most important thing to find the treasure is to study the historical materials diligently.
According to the records of Rashid, a Persian historian in the Yuan Dynasty, after Genghis Khan was buried, 1,000 people from the Mongolian Ulianghan tribe guarded the mausoleum. They called the location of Gis Khan's mausoleum the "Great Forbidden Land."
Because the Mongolian people live in pursuit of water and grass, during the Ming Dynasty, these people moved to the prairie of today's Inner Mongolia with eight white tent carts containing Genghis Khan's sacrificial vessels. They still used the old place names in the new area, and this place is
Ordos means "palace tent group" in Mongolian.
Today, the traditional place for worshiping Genghis Khan in Ordos is called Yijinhuoluo, which means "Great Forbidden Land" in Mongolian.
This proves that historical records are reliable.
Now we need to carefully research the origin of the place names in the Qulin Neighbor Mountain area, especially to find out their Yuan Dynasty names. If we find one called "Great Forbidden Land", it will be the biggest breakthrough.
Within the scope of the Great Forbidden Land are mausoleums, and there is absolutely no palace in the mausoleum. As mentioned before, the Mongols will not build tombs on palaces.
Now what the Japanese-Mongolian archaeological team has discovered is the ruins of the Abraq palace. The temple here may have been a sacrificial hall used to worship Genghis Khan. From this, they speculated that Genghis Khan's mausoleum was incorrect.
Even the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan cannot be within a radius of 12 kilometers. The grassland terrain where the Abraq ruins are located is open, with the Kent Mountains to the northwest and several small hills scattered around.
Through layers of research, Han Peacock determined that the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan was located in the Great Forbidden Area within thirty miles of the Nian Valley on Qu Neighbor Mountain.
Although the name was determined, the actual place could not be found based on the name. However, it was impossible to find the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan around the Kent Mountains.
The reason why Han Kongque came here was related to a character. It was not mentioned before that Aunt Wang's husband's surname was Liu. Aunt Wang did not say this, nor did she mention it specifically, so Han Kongque did not pay attention to it before.
Later, it was discovered that the treasure map seemed to be useless, so Han Kongque conducted a serious investigation on Aunt Wang and his wife to see if the treasure map was nothing.
Unexpectedly, after such a search, Han Kongque discovered something magical. Aunt Wang's husband's surname was Liu. Their family's genealogy could be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, making them a very old family.
Since the family has a long history, it is inevitable that one or two historical celebrities will appear, so Han Kongque saw the name Liu Min on their family tree.
If you are an ordinary person, when you see this name, you will never think of anything special. This is a very ordinary name. Nowadays, there are not even ten thousand people named Liu Min but eight thousand.
However, in the Yuan Dynasty, especially in the era of Genghis Khan and Yuan Taizong Wokuotai, this name was not ordinary, because Liu Min presided over the construction of two famous palaces at that time.
What does this mean? This shows that Liu Min is a very clever architect. If not, how could he have the ability to preside over the construction of the Yuan Palace?
Based on this speculation, it is not unbelievable that the ancestor of Aunt Wang's husband could escape from Genghis Khan's mausoleum, because he is Liu Min's cousin.
Liu Min is a master architect, but his cousin is not. He is a minor official, and with Liu Min's help, he became a minor official in charge of construction.
Why would such a lowly official run out of an imperial mausoleum?
Needless to say, it must have been helped by Liu Min, and why did Liu Min do this?
Needless to say, this is because there is a desire to give up, because knowing the exact address of an imperial mausoleum and having an internal structural diagram is equivalent to using a treasure.
In this way, things will be easier to handle. Since the internal construction map appears in the hands of Liu Min's cousin's descendants, the external map must be in Liu Min's hands.
In fact, there is no need to think too much about such things, because they are just cousins. Of course, even brothers will sometimes kill each other for wealth, so they must keep each other in check.
Of course, such things are done very secretly. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to know that Li Min's ability to save his cousin is actually related to his life experience.
When we read the novel, the protagonist's life experience was miserable at first, but later he would definitely have adventures. From then on, he would travel in BMWs, carry a lot of money, win riches and beauty, and reach the pinnacle of life. The representative of such a character is Guo Jing.
Guo Jing is a fictional character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but in reality, there is such a person. He was also favored by Genghis Khan and was still a veteran of the three dynasties in the early Yuan Dynasty. This is Liu Min.
Liu Min himself is a legend. He was born in 1201 and died in 1260. He was given the courtesy name Dexuan and Yougong, and his late nickname was Nianfeng Laoren.
Liu Min lived during the transition between the Jin and Yuan Dynasties when wars were incessant. When he was 12 years old, he fled with his parents to Dexing Zenfang Mountain, now Zhuolu.
When the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty attacked Dexing, his parents abandoned Liu Min and fled in a hurry, so General Yuan adopted him.
One day, the Great Khan Genghis Khan held a banquet in the camp to entertain the generals, and Liu Min entered the tent. Genghis Khan saw Liu Min's extraordinary temperament, asked about him, and kept him by his side as a guard.
After two years, Liu Min learned the languages of each tribe. Genghis Khan praised him and gave him the name "Yu Chuqian", allowing him to go in and out of the forbidden gates and become his personal bodyguard.
When Genghis Khan conquered the Western Liao kingdoms, Liu Min accompanied him. During the campaign, Genghis Khan appreciated Liu Min's talents even more. In 1223, the 18th year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, he was awarded the post of pacifier. He acted expediently and also collected taxes on Yanjing Road.
Classes, water transportation, salt works, monks and Taoists, Si Tian and other matters. To be continued.
