Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

"Drill."

……

"Probe."

……

"Looking glass."

……

The team members worked in an orderly manner, and after a while, the detective descended to the tomb.

Li Ding'an took a look and was disappointed: the roof of the tomb had collapsed long ago, the tomb was full of sand, and the coffins and burials were tightly buried.

So why don't you do some digging?
After thinking for a moment, Li Ding'an waved his hand: "Close the team!"

"what?"

The team members looked at each other.

They followed Li Ding'an and found quite a few tombs: the Liao Dynasty Xiao family burial group in Qinglong Mountain, the Ming Dynasty King Jinzhong's tomb in Huolin, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xianbei and Turkic tombs in Alxa.

But this was the first time I encountered the tombs from the Han Dynasty.

And it’s so big, it would be a shame not to explore it.

"The roof of the tomb has collapsed. There is no other way except digging in depth." Li Ding'an explained patiently: "So we can only look for the ruins first and wait until we get back."

What else can we do?
The team members nodded.

"Teacher Li, whose tomb is it?"

"The tombs with thousands of square meters belong to at least the twenty-four kings of the Huns. Looking at the geographical location: at the eastern foot of Yanran Mountain, upstream of the Wengjin River, this should be the territory of the twelve kings on the right. It is estimated that the owner of the tomb is one of them..."

"The king's tomb?"

"Otherwise? The middle-character tomb is the emperor's mausoleum, and the A-character tomb is the prince's mausoleum. From the Shang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this kind of tomb has always been a characteristic."

"But...is this the Xiongnu Tomb?"

Li Ding'an turned his head and realized that Fan Rong was speaking.

Let's just say that someone who majors in archeology would ask such a layman's topic.

"Sima Qian's historical records: The Xiongnu adopted Han customs... From the founding king Touman Chanyu, the Xiongnu nobles were buried according to Han customs... The largest tombs No. 1 and 2 in Gaodu in Mongolia, all the large tombs excavated It’s this kind of A-shaped tomb..."

"Haha... Han people are so powerful!"

"Don't be proud. I didn't show mercy when I killed and robbed Han people..."

Fan Rong fell silent.

"Clean up the traces and let's go!"

There are not many traces, just the hole opened by the drill, and it can be done with a few shovels.

They packed up their tools and got into the car. Half an hour later, the car drove into Mandala Aobao County on the west bank of the Wengjin River.

This is the northernmost part of South Gobi Province. There are only more than 3,000 people in the entire county, and most of them are herders, scattered in various pastures. It stands to reason that since there are very few people in the county town, its construction will naturally not be very good.

But unexpectedly, it was very prosperous.

The building is very new, there are all kinds of shops, the roadside is full of handicrafts, and there are many tourists.

It was early spring, but low-cut skirts and black stockings could be seen everywhere... Li Ding'an felt cold just looking at it.

Because there are many ruins nearby: 30 kilometers to the southeast is the "Dou Xian Yan Ran Le Gong" ruins, and more than 50 kilometers to the north is the ruins of the Winter Palace during the Wokuotai period, also known as the Porcelain City. The ground is full of broken porcelain pieces: white glaze, black glaze, carved glaze, black flower, Jun glaze, peacock blue glaze, red and green color, glue pattern porcelain, as well as Longquan celadon, Jingde white porcelain, and even blue and white porcelain... There are no types of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty that cannot be found here.

In the first few years, Mongolia's customs control was not strict, and many domestic backpackers came here to pick up porcelain pieces, and many of them made a fortune. Including now, more than 40% of tourists in Mandal Ovo are Chinese, followed by South Korea and Japan...

Therefore, there are many Chinese-style hotels and Chinese restaurants, but the consumption is not low.

After entering the room, Li Ding'an called Bart again to confirm the itinerary: Tomorrow he would explore Lake Kuhl at the end of Wengjin, and then he would have to move.

If you don't notify in advance, the fat guy will definitely wait for two days...

……

The sun rises in the east, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.

The sky is reflected, the lake surface is like a mirror, and when the breeze comes, the water is shimmering and shining like gems.

The long river is like a jade belt, flowing into it, with green stars dotted on both sides.

Further south, everything is desolate.

The Ongjin River has come to an end.

Li Ding'an laid the drawings on the hood, and two paleogeography professors from the National University of Mongolia pointed at the drawings and chattered.

"Forty kilometers further south is Burgan County (belonging to South Gobi Province) at the northern foot of the Gobi Altai Mountains. In the 1990s, Ulan Lake was still there, and that was where the Ongjin River ended."

Li Ding'an was noncommittal: it was indeed the end of the Wengjin River, but only in the Qing Dynasty and after.

"Qing Yi Tong Zhi·Khalkha": It originates from the southeastern mountains near the source of the Orkun River (southeast foot of Hangai Mountain), flows southeast for more than 700 miles, and ends at Hulha Oronbo (Ulan Lake)."

But in the Yuan Dynasty, it had to flow farther: the Ailu of Hang'ai Mountain is 45 minutes to the east, its source is O River, and it flows southeast for more than 900 miles.

Continuing to push forward, "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": Lishui is in Mobei and flows through Junji Mountain... The so-called Junji Mountain refers to the remaining range of the Altai Mountains, the middle section of the Altai Mountains in the present-day Gobi, only one hundred and fifty years away from the border. kilometer.

Clues to the Or River were also found: the Tulla River, a tributary of the present-day Orkhon River, was regarded by the Mongols as "the place where the ancestors were founded."

This river is farther away: the Amulin River (Wengjin River) flows southeast for 700 miles, and flows to the south, and then flows southeast for more than 300 miles, and flows due east, and another hundred miles. A salty spring flows into it from the south, and turns to the northwest. , then entered Tuquan.

No matter how Li Ding'an calculated it, the southernmost end of this river was less than fifty kilometers away from the border.

Unfortunately, it is worse than Weng Jinhe. Most of it was dried earlier, and its current length is less than a quarter of that of the Yuan Dynasty.

Now, all we can do is find the ancient river site, and then follow the ancient river path to the south. There is a high probability that we can find the third Feng Shui site.

It probably won't be easy: after all, it has been buried in sand for hundreds of years, and the river course has long been traced.

But Li Ding'an felt that it shouldn't be too difficult: if you can't find the river, you can still find something else.

The first is to find the march route of the Northern Wei Dynasty's several northern expeditions to Rouran, and the second is to find the march route of the Western Han Dynasty's northern expedition to the Xiongnu.

Or to be simpler: just look for the former sites of Dragon City in various periods of the Xiongnu, as well as the nearby noble tombs, and you will naturally find the ancient ore water.

"Han Shu Biography of the Xiongnu": Shanyu Tingzhi, Yunzhong... This was the period of Zhitoman and Maodun Shanyu. Historians have already verified that it was at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: The Han army marched north, the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert.

By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, they moved to the south of the River River: when Emperor Yuan came to the throne at the beginning, Hu Hanxie Shanyu returned to the Han Dynasty and settled in Junji Mountain...

Later, under the grandson of Huxie Chanyu, the Xiongnu had another civil war and split into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu. The Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty and moved to the south of Yinshan Mountain, while the Northern Xiongnu moved northward year by year.

Where there is a city, there are tombs: For example, the Gaodu Tomb No. 2 in Wendu Ulan County, Houhangai Province, is currently excavated, the Sanliancheng ruins and surrounding tombs 60 kilometers south, and Gaodu 90 kilometers further south. Tomb No. 1 and so on, after research, they are all the ruins of Shan Yuting during the period when the Huns migrated northward...

It is difficult to find ancient river channels, and it may not be easy to find ancient city ruins, but if it comes to finding tombs, Li Ding'an is still somewhat confident... (End of this chapter)
