Chapter 1173 – Focus (I)
When Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang re-returned to the ground, more than two hours had passed, and on the shore, only Timur was left guarding there with an anxious face, while Uyunqiqiqi had followed Bartel to find the local garrison.
“Zhuang Rui An Ta, are you guys alright?”
Seeing Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang revealing their heads from the lake surface, Timur shouted loudly in joy, the crowd had all left, leaving him alone in this quiet place, coupled with the water ghost incident that had caused trouble before, Timur’s heart was also strangely oozing with panic.
“I am nothing, Ren seems to need a rest.”
Swimming out from the waterway, need to swim against the current, the physical strength consumed is far greater than when entering, Dr. Ren in the process of surfacing on the surface of the water can not hold up the strength, choked several mouths of water, if not Zhuang Rui pulled him, it is estimated that this buddy will be sacrificed in the motherland’s science and research cause.
After pulling Ren Chunqiang ashore, Zhuang Rui felt hungry and grumbling, and was not polite, directly picked up the grilled fish on the campfire and ate it.
“Zhuang Rui an answer, how is it down there? What is the situation ah?”
Concerning Mongolia that most brilliant dynasty, Timur is also very concerned, but he and Bartel is different, buried underground is not his direct ancestor, even if the digging out of the underground mausoleum, he will not feel there is something wrong.
“There’s a big possibility that it’s an imperial mausoleum, but the underground terrain is complicated, we didn’t go deeper.”
Zhuang Rui smiled and looked towards Ren Chunqiang, who was panting at the side, and laughed, “Brother Ren, why do I feel that we’re especially like the part in Divine Eagles’ Couples where Yang Guo searches for Little Dragon Maiden? Both diving in from the water and realizing that there’s another world on the other side.”
“Little Dragon Lady? She’s not as appealing as the Mongolian Emperor’s Tomb.”
Ren Chunqiang bristled and said to Zhuang Rui, “Hurry up and call Professor Meng! If you don’t call there, I’m afraid the teacher is going to call and urge us to go back.”
The day after tomorrow is the day of the opening of the World Dunhuang Cultural Exchange, as the discoverer of the Dunhuang documents Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang, there must be a person out of the meeting to participate in, but now underfoot stepping on the unknown Mongolian emperor’s tomb, Dr. Ren long ago did not want to go back to the mind.
Dunhuang literature there and will not be less than one, they have made the achievement can not be erased, go back to participate in the meeting, but also just in the line to increase some visibility, the initial establishment of their young archaeologists status.
But the Mongolian Imperial Tombs is not the same, although much attention, but it is a thousand years never to the world to open their mysterious veil, the discovery of the Mongolian Imperial Tombs of significance, far more than those Dunhuang literature can be compared with it.
To make an analogy, the discovery of Dunhuang literature, that will make Zhuang Rui two people, in the domestic archaeology sector to occupy a place, but the excavation of the Mongolian Imperial Tombs, will make their names engraved in the world’s archaeological history, which is more important than the other, of course, the two brothers can be clear.
After Zhuang Rui took out the phone, he handed it to Ren Chunqiang and said with a smile, “Brother Ren, it’s better for you to make this call!”
Every time he comes out there is always some world-shattering discovery, Zhuang Rui feels that he is a bit too flashy, but he is helpless, he can’t just watch these rare treasures being hidden underground like this, right?
“You fight, you fight, this unknown tomb itself was discovered by you, or you fight.”
Dr. Ren pushed back the phone handed over by Zhuang Rui, he had been touring the mountains on this trip to Mongolia, pretty much a soy sauce role, right now he was satisfied to be involved in the excavation of this great tomb, and did not have the slightest idea of competing with Zhuang Rui for the limelight.
“Okay!”
Anyway, it’s not itchy lice, Zhuang Rui also don’t care anymore, at most, people think that they are lucky, at that moment, he dialed Professor Meng’s cell phone.
“It’s Xiao Zhuang, right? What’s up, back in Beijing?”
The phone came from the end of Professor Meng’s bright laughter, Professor Meng had not expected, in his old age, actually encountered the Beijing human skull fossils came out, and Dunhuang cultural research breakthroughs, and all of this is Zhuang Rui brought.
So the old man for Zhuang Rui that is a lot of love, have been regarded as their own closed disciple, he also wants to live in his own life, to help Zhuang Rui to lay its position in the archaeological community, play a role in the role of a help with it!
Zhuang Rui dryly laughed twice and said, “Teacher, Beijing …… is estimated to be temporarily unable to return.”
“What? This can not be, Xiao Zhuang, do you know, this academic exchange, not only gathered the world’s Dunhuang culture scholars, there are many foreign history experts to the scene, you must come back.”
Professor Meng heard, immediately some anxious, Zhuang Rui before the salvage of the Beijing human skull fossil and the Song Dynasty shipwrecks, only in the domestic archaeological community small reputation, and Zhuang Rui are not involved in these two discoveries of the follow-up research work to go, strictly speaking, Dingguang Museum out of the limelight are much larger than his personal.
But this meeting is different, the world scientists gathered, can bring him a broader development space, in the world of science and technology to leave their own name, this is also a lot of domestic science and technology personnel crowded want to participate in this meeting one of the reasons.
“Teacher ……”
“I don’t care what reason you have, you must come back, if you really can’t leave, let Ren stay over there, you want to come back, what the hell, I gave Ren said, you have to come back to participate in this meeting no matter what.”
Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and just wanted to explain, was interrupted by Professor Meng, Zhuang Rui secretly glanced at his senior brother beside him, and moved next to his body unintentionally.
Fortunately, Ren Chunqiang could not hear the voice in the microphone, otherwise this buddy will definitely be in tears, the same are your students, do not bring so biased eye ah?
“Teacher, listen to me first to finish my sentence ah!”
Zhuang Rui did not wait for Professor Meng to interrupt him this time, and then said, “Teacher, Ren and I have a major archaeological discovery in Inner Mongolia, after preliminary investigation, it should be the Yuan Dynasty or even a little bit earlier Mongolian Khan’s tomb.”
“No matter what archaeological discovery, you guys have to go back to ……”
Professor Meng didn’t pay much attention at first, his mouth was still habitually asking Zhuang Rui to go back to Beijing, but when he heard the last few words, his voice suddenly stuck.
“What did you …… you say? Mongolian emperor’s tomb? Xiao Zhuang, you …… can you be sure?” Prof. Meng’s voice shook a little on the phone.
Originally, Prof. Meng, who has seen a lot of knowledge and presided over the excavation of countless tombs in the country, would not be so out of sorts, but he knows that this little disciple of his has always had no falsehoods every time he has made a move, and since Zhuang Rui said that it was the Tomb of the Mongolian Great Khan in his mouth, then nine times out of ten, that would be true.
“Teacher, basically it can be confirmed that this tomb is dozens of meters deep in the ground, the entrance is at the bottom of a lake, the terrain is rather complicated, we have now found the gold martyrs with the word ‘Marco Polo’, but due to the terrain limitations, further investigation cannot be carried out. ”
Zhuang Rui roughly described the situation to Prof. Meng, as for the discovery of the entrance to the dark river, naturally, he had inadvertently discovered it in the course of fishing.
Although this thing is a bit bizarre, but it is also relatively reasonable, said that the old farmer in Shaanxi, when drilling wells can pout and dig out the eighth wonder of the world (Terracotta Warriors), Zhuang Rui this kind of explanation is also reasonable.
“Xiao Zhuang, wait, wait a minute.”
Professor Meng’s voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, seemingly digesting this astonishing news, and did not reply for a long time.
Professor Meng had not been very satisfied with the research direction he had chosen during Dr. Zhuang Rui’s time, but he had not expected this disciple, who actually seemed to have found the tombs of Mongolian emperors that had not had the slightest clue for thousands of years?
This is no wonder Professor Meng shocked, to know, Zhuang Rui before the discovery of the “Peking man skull fossil”, its influence is more concentrated in the scope of anthropological research, and the Song Dynasty shipwrecks, is confined to China’s Song Dynasty period of cultural discovery has been the scientific and technological level of the research at that time.
But because of the special position of the Mongolian dynasty in the world at that time, the excavation of Mongolia’s royal tomb, its influence is far from the above two discoveries can be compared with it, because up to now, many European countries, are recognized by the Mongolian enslavement and conquest of the facts at that time.
So the discovery of the Mongolian royal tombs, not only unearthed some rare and exotic treasures, for the understanding of the world’s various countries at that time the pattern of cultural and economic development, are of immense importance and far-reaching significance, will be destined to be the world’s attention.
“Zhuang Rui, listen well, what needs to be done now is to immediately contact the local garrison to protect the location of the mausoleum, you are not allowed to carry out unauthorized surveys again, after I report to the higher authorities, I will immediately rush to your place.”
After some thoughts in his mind, Professor Meng gave instructions to Zhuang Rui, the reason why he did not allow Zhuang Rui and them to carry out surveys again, the old man this is also afraid that Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang will be harmed by accidents, after all, inside the mysterious emperor’s mausoleum, there are still some many unknown dangers that exist.
“Teacher, what about the …… Dunhuang Cultural Exchange?” Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but smile after hearing Professor Meng’s words.
“That you do not care, stay where you are and cooperate with the garrison to do a good job of guarding and protecting the work, brat, really will give the teacher trouble, I’m busy with a thousand things, alas, forget it, you kid must protect the scene to prevent people from carrying out excavation.”
Professor Meng sighed on the other end of the phone, the Dunhuang cultural academic exchanges, is that he initiated, and now as the organizer but to leave, Professor Meng must arrange for the appropriate personnel to take over, in order to ensure that the General Assembly can be carried out smoothly, after all, this meeting is also held in the world.
Of course, Zhuang Rui on the other end of the phone can hear that although the teacher scolded himself, but I believe his mood must be very pleasant.
