Chapter 1164 – Entering (I)
“Alas, it’s a pity! These many treasures, the Heirloom Jade Seal, have they just been buried underground?”
Zhuang Rui sighed in his heart, looking at such a huge treasure but powerless to excavate, that feeling and being tied to the bed by the naked beauty molestation is almost the same, blood bursting but can not do anything about it.
Zhuang Rui can almost foresee, if Genghis Khan Mausoleum unearthed in the world, will cause a storm of what kind.
To know, in this tomb, not only from China’s treasures, there are a large number of Persian India and European medieval precious relics, its influence will be worldwide.
“Better take another look!”
Although this piece of fat meat can’t be eaten in the mouth, but it’s also good to have a look, that said, Zhuang Rui is also ready to disclose this place after his death, when it comes to leave an accurate treasure map for future generations, right?
Zhuang Rui in the parking Genghis Khan coffin in the main chamber and explore some, may be the mood to relax the reason, he actually in a corner of the chamber, found a number of bamboo slips and a few parchment scrolls.
Probably look at the content of the bamboo slips, Zhuang Rui found that it is actually written in Chinese characters Sun Tzu Art of War, it seems that Genghis Khan is Mongolia Khan, for the Central Plains culture or have some understanding.
As for those few parchment scrolls, it is also written all over the text, but those words know Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui is not recognize them, because these words, all of them are written in the earliest Mongolian characters.
Zhuang Rui at best only recognized in it, such as Marco Polo only jin – Temujin and Marco Polo only jin – Wukodai’s name, which makes Zhuang Rui heart as hard as a cat’s claw, because these parchment scrolls, is likely to be recorded on the secret of Genghis Khan’s tomb.
Such as Genghis Khan specific burial time, those burial goods such as the origin of the state seal, perhaps can find the answer on these parchment scrolls.
However, Zhuang Rui students are only a half-assed archaeologist rather than a linguist, these earthworm tadpoles general text, really can not be recognized.
“Alas, buddy is not sacrificing himself a little, tell the secret of the eyes, will this treasure be unearthed?”
Zhuang Rui heart flashed such an idea, but then let him vetoed, he does not want to stay in the laboratory for the rest of his life, all day like a mouse in general face those who study the human body science guys.
After extinguishing his own thoughts, Zhuang Rui is like a wandering soul, continue to float in this thousand years old tomb, aura upgrade brought about by the feeling is wonderful, intuitively looking at the thousand years old tomb, as if wandering in the river of history in general.
Quite reluctant to withdraw his eyes from the main chamber, Zhuang Rui continued to explore the back, Genghis Khan’s mausoleum, it is impossible to have only a few chambers, so also sorry for this huge project and its amazing identity.
Sure enough, after the main chamber, there are eight large chambers, which are all placed with a variety of rare treasures, there were the works of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, there are also filled with European style artwork, see Zhuang Rui is dazzled.
“Hm? These porcelains and Buddha statues, they’re a bit strange, huh?”
In the last chamber, Zhuang Rui found a huge number of ceramics, as well as a variety of Buddha statues shaped in gold and silver, colorful statues of the Goddess of Mercy, whose styles were quite strange, something Zhuang Rui had never seen before in China.
In addition in a corner, also placed some coins and weaving paperwork, just those fonts, Zhuang Rui is an unrecognizable, simply more than the Mongolian script is also like the book of heaven.
“Not like the style of India, ceramics style is a little imitation of Song, but and Song dynasty is not the same.”
Zhuang Rui on ceramics research is quite deep, I think for each dynasty of porcelain are like a finger in the palm of your hand, but in this chamber found in the porcelain, but let him frowned, because of the style of these porcelains, even the Palace Museum have no collection, the most let Zhuang Rui headache is that these porcelains are not on the paragraph.
Porcelain on the drop, is in the Ming and Qing dynasties only popularized, Song and Yuan era drop porcelain is not much, which is also difficult to identify one of the main reasons for the Yuan blue and white, so Zhuang Rui can not be identified from the paragraph on the origin of these porcelains.
However, even if there is a payment, Zhuang Rui may not be able to recognize it, because of the text on those coins and books and silks in a corner of this chamber, he would not be able to identify what font it is.
“Could it be the vessels of the …… Western Xia Dynasty?”
A thought suddenly popped up in Zhuang Rui’s mind, and he recalled the dynasty …… Xixia that had once been glorious in history, but had finally been single-handedly destroyed by Genghis Khan.
Xixia refers to a feudal regime established in western China by the Danghou people between 1038 and 1227 A.D. Its historical roots can be traced all the way back to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty at the earliest.
At its peak, the Xixia had annihilated tens of thousands of the Song army’s northwestern elites, and defeated Liao Xingzong, who was marching with 100,000 elites, in the Battle of Hequ, which established a three-way division of the world among the Song, the Liao, and the Xixia.
National strength, often represents the development of the economy, Xixia’s economic heyday, woolen industry, weapons manufacturing, salt mining, paper printing, gold and silver manufacturing, jade processing industry, brewing industry are very developed.
Xixia originally no porcelain, the beginning of the whole by looting the Song people to get.
Western Xia Yi Zong period, Western Xia began to build porcelain kilns, began to produce their own porcelain, its porcelain both absorbed the advantages of the Central Plains, but also the characteristics of the nation, such as simplicity and simplicity, the formation of a unique style of Western Xia porcelain.
Zhuang Rui suspected that the porcelain he saw at the moment, is the Xixia people do make, because Genghis Khan is in the western conquest of Xixia died, his tomb appeared in a large number of Xixia martyrs, is also in the reasonable.
In this way, those difficult to identify the text also has a source, to know, the xixia dynasty line of xi xiawen in xixia after the demise of the Ming dynasty has become no one recognize the dead text.
Although later generations according to some Xixia relics, deduced some of the meaning of the Xixia text, but today, in the domestic research of the Xixia text can be described as few and far between, I’m afraid that even the number of a hand is not.
“Grandma, this is another discovery that can shock the archaeological world and unravel the reasons for the rise and fall of a dynasty.”
The relics left behind in Western Xia are not more than the Yuan Dynasty, and even less valuable, these written materials are enough to solve a lot of mysteries of the historians.
Zhuang Rui looked at this room full of items, helplessly shook his head, forcibly resisted the urge to explore this chamber in detail, and shifted his gaze out.
Out of this chamber, Zhuang Rui found three more martyrdom pits, one of which is covered with the bones of cattle and sheep livestock, while the other two martyrdom pits, it is with the living martyrdom, from the bones of the corpse has not yet decayed clothing and the degree of wear and tear of its teeth, Zhuang Rui can see that these are not very old women.
“Three thousand beauties in life and beauty after death, no wonder the world wants to be an emperor!”
Zhuang Rui secretly sighed, the status of women in ancient times and their low status, especially when Mongolia has not yet unified, the status of women is not much higher than cattle and sheep, until after Genghis Khan unified the prairie, the status of women has only improved.
This single-handedly hit China’s largest territory of the Mongolian Khan, in the young was taken away from his wife, and also gave birth to a child, but this does not prevent the woman later and the general of the cubs to Temujin gave birth to three sons.
At the time when the star of enlightenment appeared over the prairie, the sky was already cloudy, Zhuang Rui rubbed his somewhat glazed eyes and rubbed his face vigorously.
After a night of rough investigation, Zhuang Rui will be the entire tomb structure over, although the whole night did not close his eyes, but for the exploration of history, but let Zhuang Rui heart full of excitement.
And the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang directly the ground of a mountain dug out different, Genghis Khan’s this dungeon, but make full use of the complex underground caves, although the number of construction is certainly not the construction of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang more people, but its scale, but by no means under the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Of course, the mausoleum palace in the number of funerary objects, is far from and Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, may be Mongolia at that time for ceramics firing process is not developed, and perhaps Genghis Khan did not take thousands of troops to go to hell to fight the world idea.
So in addition to the looted burial goods, very few Mongolia’s own burnt crafts, in the era of Genghis Khan, Yuan Qinghua has not been introduced yet!
However, to be from the quality of these burial goods, Zhuang Rui judgment, is to be more than the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, after all, after one or two thousand years of development, to the end of the Song Dynasty, its ancient works of art have been developed to the peak period.
Not to mention the Song dynasty champion of the world’s porcelain, even then Europe, there are many exquisite works of art, Zhuang Rui even in a tomb, found two very Egyptian color of the gold masks, do not know is Genghis Khan from which country looted.
Plus that from the hand of Qin Shi Huang’s “Jade Seal of State”, so from the precious degree of burial goods, Genghis Khan Mausoleum is to exceed the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
“Alas, things are good, but also can not see the sky.”
Zhuang Rui at the moment hate to eyes can grow a hand to, will be that “jade seal of state” from the coffin to pull out, that thing is really look in the eyes is very difficult to pull out.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Zhuang Rui enlarged the scope of his aura survey, he was ready to make a final check to see if there were any missing chambers, and then withdrew his aura, ending this doomed and fruitless archaeology.
“Huh? Why is there a dark river behind this burial chamber? No, there’s something odd ……”
When Zhuang Rui expanded the scope of his aura search, he suddenly discovered that the dark river that existed above this mausoleum palace had appeared more than thirty meters diagonally above the back side of a martyrdom pit.
