Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 420 Come to life

The wilderness is vast and boundless.

Looking up, there is either yellow sand or gravel. Not to mention grass, not even a camel thorn can be seen.

The road is like a washboard, with ditches and ridges. The chassis of the car seems to be equipped with springs, and it bumps three times every ten meters.

And this kind of road is called a "highway" by the police and soldiers?
Because there are no roads anywhere else.

It feels like my brain is about to be pushed out of my head before I reach Dahuang Mountain.

It is both a place name and a landmark where the outpost is located.

Surrounded by walls, one of the three brick houses has two floors, and the second floor is entirely glass.

There were two people standing at the door, one tall and one short, a man and a woman, wearing camouflage uniforms and hats, their necks were red and black, as if they had been dyed.

"Director, Company Commander Zhu!"

"Xiaobai, Xiaolu, thank you for your hard work...this is Teacher Li!"

Having called before and knowing their purpose, Bai Jian quickly said hello: "Hello, Teacher Li!"

"Two are good, two are good..."

Li Ding'an smiled quickly and opened the car door, "What are you dawdling about? Come down!"

The naughty boy reluctantly got out of the back seat.

"Xiaochao?" Mother's eyes turned red instantly.

Bai Jian forced a smile: "Did Xiaochao get into trouble again?"

"No! Not only did he not cause any trouble, he also made great achievements!"

The child raised his head in surprise, and Li Ding'an touched his head, "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"

Of course it's true, but the little kid still doesn't believe it: You don't sue me, but you still buy me toys?
It would be nice if my dad didn’t whip me.

Now, he finally believes a little bit...

She gritted her teeth and smiled, then her eyes turned red and she threw herself into her mother's arms.

It’s been almost two months since the Chinese New Year. How can any child not miss his parents?

"Teacher Li, thank you, come in quickly!"

"it is good!"

Li Ding'an nodded, Zuo Peng and Xiao Jing moved things down from the car.

Just some daily necessities and a set of high-power solar charging equipment.

After all, the bear kid helped him a lot...

After entering the house and chatting for a few words, Li Ding'an said that it was not easy for the wind to stop once and that we should seize the time to investigate. Everyone went out again.

Bai Chao took Li Ding'an and walked north for nearly fifty meters. The child pointed to a stone beam more than ten meters long: "I picked it up from here."

The shape of the stone beam is very strange, as if something is trying to come out of the ground, but it is just arching its back.

It's very bright, dark, and reflective, shining like a mirror.

In fact, it is a mausoleum-shaped area composed of mirror iron stone, and it is mostly buried by sand, with only the top exposed. It is very common in the northwest region.

But there is one thing: the main component of this thing is fine-grained magnetite, and 99% of detection instruments cannot be used, including compasses.

"Teacher Li, what should I do?"

"Let's explore, take this place as the center, and explore in four directions: first use geomagnetism to detect the boundaries of the disturbed area, and then use geometal to explore outwards: the detection targets are regular cultural relics: arrows, gun heads, etc..."

"understand!"

The movements were very fast. Zuo Peng gave the order and the four groups of detectives started moving. For a while, the detectors kept beeping.

Then, another small black dot flew from the north, getting closer and bigger.

He Anbang, Lu Benzhi, Wang Yongqian, and an expert on ancient architecture from the Forbidden City got off the plane.

"How is it?" Lu Benzhi shook his head: "Except for the sand dunes, it's the Gobi, and then there are some low mountains and hills, but no ancient rivers were found!"

"Is there a lake or a salt-alkali basin or other ruins?"

"No, not to mention the lake, there isn't even a bubble."

"It looks like it was buried in the sand."

Li Ding'an breathed out, "It doesn't matter, it's just luck. If you can't find it, you can't find it!"

Wang Yongqian frowned: "What are you looking for?"

"Bigan City, Salt Lake, Jihe."

They knew about Bigan City. Li Ding'an had just said a few days ago that Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty had built it in the Norgen area of ​​Mongolia's South Gobi Province, about 120 kilometers away from here.

Finding Bigan City is equivalent to finding Orshui, the southern branch of the Orkhon River. It is equivalent to determining the coordinates from the area of ​​a circle to a straight line, and then just follow it southward.

The lack of ancient river channels is not a big problem. It’s only about a hundred kilometers in radius. If you can’t get out of this range, it will only take a while...

But where did the Salt Lake and Jihe River behind them come from?
Li Ding'an sighed: "I just found out in the past few days, "The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty": The southern foot of Hangai Mountain is 34 degrees and a half to the east, with a maximum altitude of 47 degrees. Its source is called O River, flowing southeast, and its history. The plains are more than nine hundred miles away...

More than a hundred miles south of Hangai Mountain is Lanluoshan. Its source is at the southern foot of the river, which is called the Amulin River. It flows southeast for seven hundred miles and merges with the Or River, called Ji River... and three hundred miles southeast, it flows due east, and another hundred miles. Li, there is a salty spring flowing here from the south, and for another three hundred miles, it turns northwest and flows into Tuquan...

The key point is this Tuquan: Dongfeng, Heilongjiang Province, fought many battles in ancient times, and was actually within the reach of the troops from the Han and Tang Dynasties. I patrolled the border to Taonan and passed the Tuquan. I heard that there were remnants of stones with the words "General of the Han Dynasty" engraved on them... This is especially evidence that the military strength of the Han Dynasty had reached the black border. How could there be no one to record the merits of the stone... This is " There are records about 'Yanran Leshi' in the General Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty..."

Several people looked confused: "Dou Xian, Yanran and Jin Gong are in Hangai Mountain... What do you mean, it means that this river flows back and forth?"

"Yes!" Li Ding'an nodded heavily, "The key is this flow direction: it flows southeast for more than 900 miles, south for more than 100 miles, and then east for more than 300 miles. How much is this? More than 700 kilometers, right?
Then go east for more than a hundred miles, and then another three hundred miles. What is the total? This means that the river flows southeast for nearly a thousand kilometers... How far is Hangai Mountain from here? "

He Anbang and Wang Yongqian were both numb: The southern foot of Hangai Mountain is only more than 500 kilometers here, and it flows to the southeast for more than 400 kilometers. Not to mention Alxa, has it all flowed to Ningxia?

"It's impossible. Alxa is high in the southeast and low in the northwest. How can it flow here?"

"I also know it's impossible. The "Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" is not very rigorous, so there should be discrepancies. But there is another article: "Book of Wei: Biography of Wei Wei": In the sixth year of the reign of the Kingdom (391), Tuoba Gui pursued and defeated Weiwei (Rouran) reached the foot of the mountain in the south of Daqi, and broke it... The class teacher encountered a salt pond, which was fifteen miles from east to west and five miles from north to south... It was purple and clear, and the water came out of rock salt..."

"Salt Pond, which is the salty spring in the secret history you just mentioned, means it is south of Nan Bed Mountain. Where is Nan Bed Mountain?"

"Nomohun Mountain." Li Ding'an pointed north: "It's less than thirty kilometers away from the border."

"Huh?" He Anbang's eyes lit up, "Nantang Mountain is thirty kilometers away from here, and the salt pond is still south of the mountain... According to this, the ruins are probably south of the border?"

"On the contrary!" Li Ding'an sighed, "There is a salty spring flowing here in the south, which means that the river is north of the salt pond, and more likely north of Nanbed Mountain... So, 99% of the time, the ruins are in the north!"

Suddenly, He Anbang frowned: "It's all in vain, what are you looking for here?"

"Look for the route of the Northern Wei Dynasty's march and retreat to Rouran. As long as you find this road, you can find the salt pond and then the Or River..."

Li Ding'an sighed, "Besides, I've said it eight hundred times: outside the country, outside the country, are you still confused?"

He Anbang was knocked speechless.

Just as he was feeling depressed, Fang Zhijie's voice came from the intercom: "Teacher Li, we found it: about sixty meters north of the stone beam, there are arrows and arrow clusters underground... They are not buried deep, only forty or fifty kilometers." We also dug out a copper coin, which looks like a Han Dynasty five baht, and two bone fragments, which are very wide, about six centimeters, fifteen centimeters long, and are curved..."

Han five baht, bone fragments... hmm, bone fragments?
Suddenly, Li Ding'an thought of the gun head that Bai Chao picked up.

"Xiao Fang, you look good. Is it ivory?"

"Ah, Teacher Li, it's too dry and has no gloss at all. I can't recognize it..."

"Then compare it. If the two bone fragments are put together, is it half a cylinder?"

"Ah...it seems so?"

That's right...

"This is ivory. It is attached to the flagpole of the commander's flag, so it is also called the tooth flag...and copper coins: the five baht of the Later Han Dynasty were so abundant that they were circulated until the early Sui Dynasty. Furthermore, they were not well minted from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. I’ve made money, so it’s normal to show up here…”

Li Ding'an clapped his palms: "He Guan, Director Wang, this is most likely the Yacheng (mostly a fortress) where Tuoba Si or Tuoba Tao temporarily stationed during his northern expedition to Rouran... Let's dig it..."

The two people looked at each other: You can find a city in this place?

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to say Li Ding’an was too professional or just lucky...

While thinking about it, He Anbang took out his cell phone and turned it around several times before finding a signal: "Director Yan, here comes the life..."
