Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The Gobi Desert is vast and vast, with huge mountains stretching across it.

This is a real stone mountain, not to mention trees, not even a blade of grass can be seen.

It was midday, the sun was shining brightly, and the dark stones reflected the dazzling light.

Li Ding'an walked lightly, jumping among the rocks, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes on the top of the mountain, sometimes on the mountainside.

Two Russian-Mongolian female college students held up binoculars, their eyes shining: "He is so strong?"

"What did they say?"

Fan Rong hesitated: "Teacher Li is said to have good physical strength!"

Yu Huiyin just curled his lips, while Shu Jing was very angry: "That's too much!"

Why are there so many men staring at Li Ding'an?

Fan Rong thought for a while: "The atmosphere in Mongolia... well, it is relatively open. Nearly 20% of women are unmarried single mothers!"

"What does it have to do with Teacher Li?" Shu Jing became even more angry, "Miss Yu, why aren't you angry?"

Yu Huiyin said in a leisurely tone: "If I were to be angry, I would have been mad to death!"

Already so angry?

Suddenly, Shu Jinghao didn't dare to say anything.

The tone was calm and the expression was normal, but Shu Jinghao always felt that Yu Huiyin meant something.

In fact, she was just overthinking it...

Not long after, Li Ding'an came down the mountain, stopped on a relatively gentle hillside, and kept turning the compass.

The team members all gathered around.

"High and low, the rivers are dredged and stagnant, the water is abundant, the things are abundant, the nine mountains are honored, the nine rivers are worshiped... the nine rivers are prosperous, the nine rivers are abundant, the nine plains are crossed, the nine are housed, and the four seas are connected... the old sky There is no subdued yin, no scattered yang in the earth, no sinking qi in water, no disaster in fire..."

What is this, classical Chinese?
It's not that I haven't heard Li Ding'an recite it before, but the previous formulas were similar to "poetry", but this time, it sounded very ancient when I heard it.

Fan Rong was particularly curious: "Teacher Shu, what is Teacher Li reading?"

"Feng Shui Tips!"

"when?"

Shu Jing was stunned by the question: How did I know?

"It's "Kanyu Golden Chamber" (China's earliest Feng Shui monograph) from the Western Han Dynasty, which is included in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu Yiwenzhi Shushulue"."

A group of team members were all stunned and looked directly at Yu Huiyin: We are all majoring in archeology, and we have been following Li Ding'an for so long, we didn't even know.

"The Western Han Dynasty...is it so far away?"

"How far away is this? The original text of this sentence is earlier, from "Guoyu·Zhouyu" and "Zuo Zhuan"..."

Li Ding'an threw down the compass and picked up the aerial photo, "So don't be surprised, we had the concept of Feng Shui and Yang Zhai and Yin Zhai in the Zhou Dynasty!"

The team members looked at each other: Is this what we are surprised about? What we are surprised about is Yu Huiyin.

As if he could tell what they were thinking, Yu Huiyin smiled softly: "I majored in Chinese at university!"

There are so many Chinese majoring in university... all of them are standing here, including Teacher Li.

Just when he felt incredible, Li Ding'an waved his hand: "Fang Zhijie, drill!"

Everyone suddenly realized: The tomb is under their feet?
For a time, those who moved the drill rig and those who connected the drill pipe moved very quickly.

"Teacher Li, what size will the tomb be this time?"

"It's hard to say, but it's not small anyway!" Li Ding'an glanced down the mountain, "Be quiet!"

The team members nodded.

In the past two weeks, Li Ding'an led them to find twenty-six tombs, large and small, including the tombs of the twenty-eight Turks (hereditary nobles) and the twenty-four Xiongnu kings (hereditary nobles).

There is even a tomb of a small Turkic Khan and a tomb of the Xiongnu Right King.

But without exception, the Mongolian archaeological team still doesn't know, not even Wang Yongqian knows.

Because Li Dingan made it very clear: In order not to affect the normal inspection schedule, only after finding the Feng Shui ruins can we consider whether to continue to cooperate with the Mongolian side and how to excavate and research the issue, so we have to keep it secret for the time being...

The team members are all very skilled, so there is no need for Li Ding'an to keep an eye on him, as he is just taking a rest.

After walking a little further, I found a stone. Yu Huiyin handed me a water glass and looked around again: "It's a bit weird here!"

Li Ding'an asked casually: "What's wrong?"

"The flat dragon rises from the high hill, the long dragon gathers in the bright hall, and the branching dragon is like a bell..."

I rely on?

Li Ding'an was stunned: "Where did you see it?"

"In your notes?"

There are many people who have read my notes: Shu Jinghao, Fang Zhijie, Xiao Tian, ​​Xiao Jiang, He Anbang, Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, Cheng Yongquan... But that's only the notes.

If they were asked to explain, let alone the metaphysical theories such as Mingtang and Ruzhang, which are similar in shape but not in the same sense, they would not even be able to explain situations such as Pinglong, Longlong, and Zhilong.

Not to mention, let them correspond on the ground and combine with the terrain.

Li Ding'an was stunned for a long time: "Is there any more?"

Yu Huiyin thought for a while, then looked at the mountains in the distance: "The mountains are soaring, with a stream in front and a hill in the back, a dragon's head, a nose that is auspicious... he is not a king or a prince."

Li Ding'an's eyes widened: What a ghost?
This sentence is not in my notes...

"Where did you see it?"

""Kanyu Golden Chamber" and "Burial Sutra"...didn't you ask me to check the information?"

No, is this a matter of checking information?

No one taught her, no one taught her, but she could understand?

Can you even apply what you have learned?
Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, and Cheng Yongquan, holding their own notes and materials, could be said to have forgotten all about sleep and food, but what was the result?
Therefore, this thing really cannot be learned by reading the information, otherwise there will be Feng Shui masters all over the place.

I didn't expect that Yu Huiyin would have such a talent?

"When did you start learning?"

"Just after arriving in Mongolia."

So fast?
"Why are you studying this? Do you want to change your career?"

"Where is that?" Yu Huiyin shook his head, "It's just that you have a hard time checking the information..."

Li Ding'an paused suddenly: During this period, how could Shu Jinghao and several assistants be so efficient? They could compile relatively complete backup information without their own help?

The maps are also drawn quickly and well. You basically don’t have to work overtime. You can sort out all the topographic maps of the surveyed area on the same day?
Now I found the answer...

He let out a long sigh: "This is their job, you don't have to work so hard!"

"Am I helping them?"

Yu Huiyin wrinkled his nose, "I want you to understand that I'm not just beautiful!"

What do you mean, vase?

Li Ding'an's eyes bulged angrily: "Which bastard said that?"

"Heh... I thought about it myself."

"It's just idle... No, who did you learn this from?"

Yu Huiyin said nothing, and Li Ding'an's heart suddenly jumped: This look?
"No, don't get me wrong... I haven't said anything to those two Mongolian college students?"

Huh, what does it have to do with them?
She just stared, and Li Ding'an felt terrified.

After a long time, Yu Huiyin let him go and took the initiative to change the subject: "Could this one be a Han tomb?"

Li Ding'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still facing east and west, leaning on the mountain and walking on the water. It's 90% the tomb of the Huns. But the location of the tomb must be based on the "Kanyu Golden Chamber", and it's so close to the Han Dynasty. So it’s hard to say that the emperor of the Han Dynasty granted the burial and completely followed the Han customs..."

Yu Huiyin was startled: "Chanyu's tomb?"

"The mausoleum valley is too narrow, the hillside is too small, and the flat ground is a bit cramped, so the tomb chamber will not be too big, most likely not."

"Then besides the Xiongnu Chanyu, who else deserves to be buried by the Emperor of Han?"

Li Ding'an thought for a while and shook his head: "So it's weird!"

Theoretically, there is no such thing, so we can only pray that the tomb does not collapse, and it is best to have a few funerary objects that can prove the identity of the tomb owner...

...The temporary camp is not far away, with several off-road vehicles forming a circle and a simple awning set up.

There were drinks, beer, beef jerky, and two fruit plates on the folding table.

Fruit is really a luxury here, but if you can eat it every day, you have to say that the Chinese people are really rich.

And this is only superficial things, more is done in invisible places, so officials from the Foreign Affairs Department and officers from the Border Defense Department of South Gobi Province basically do not care about the specific content of the archaeological team. I just glance at the geographical maps every day, and as long as it doesn't involve military sensitive information, I don't care about anything else.

The Mongolian mechanics and technicians are basically herding sheep. Most of them are nestled in the car. A few will follow them out of curiosity to take a look. A few professors were completely out of their depth. Not to mention going up the mountain, they didn't even go down the mountain. They could only use a telescope to show off and take a look.

At Li Ding'an's request, Secretary Liu sent a third-level secretary from the embassy to accompany him full-time: Just try to serve him well and don't let these uncles cause trouble.

So far, so good...

After bumping into the officer, Secretary Liu took a sip of beer, and his cell phone rang again.

After taking a glance and smiling apologetically, Secretary Liu walked a little further away: "Director Wang!"

"Why can't Li Ding'an's phone get through?"

Secretary Liu glanced towards the mountain: "Teacher Li is in the mountain, and the signal is not very good!"

"After we come down from the mountain, ask him to call me back... By the way, where are you now?"

"South of Tarwentao Jingai (remnants of the Altai Mountains in Mongolia), more than 70 kilometers away from the border."

Wang Yongqian was not surprised: two weeks ago, Li Ding'an was still wandering around Albahere (the former capital of Hang'ai Province and the birthplace of the Ongjin River), and even the ancient course of the Ongjin River was not determined.

After further calculation, this location has now entered the circle drawn by Li Ding'an on the map, which means he is very sure: the scope of the ruins delineated before going abroad is basically correct.

"Why is he so fast?"

Secretary Liu looked back and lowered his voice: "Teacher Li, you should be looking for a grave."

What the hell?
Wang Yongqian didn't react for a moment: "If he left the ruins alone and didn't look for them, what kind of tomb would he be looking for?"

Listen to the secretary's tone again: Even he is not sure, let alone the Mongolian archaeological team?
It's obvious that Li Ding'an was looking for it secretly...

"Leader, I blame me for not making it clear..." the secretary quickly explained, "Teacher Li said that it is not easy to find ancient rivers. We can only infer the general direction of the rivers based on the migration routes of the Xiongnu and Turks in various periods...

It is also said that nomadic people basically do not build cities, they only live by water and grass, so it is not easy to find settlement sites. The best way is to find tombs... It is indeed very effective: According to Teacher Li, it seems that many of them have been found, most of them. They are all tombs of nobles from the Xiongnu and Turkic periods..."

"How did he find it?"

"Use a compass!"

Wang Yongqian's eyes almost popped out: "The Huns and Turks also believe in Feng Shui?"

"I don't know. Anyway, Teacher Li found this place by looking for tombs... He also said that it is not far from the ruins..."

For a moment, Wang Yongqian didn't know what to say.

It feels quite nonsense. The question is, are the facts right in front of us?

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't hesitate: "There is nothing unusual about the two people from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Border Defense Department in the past two days, right?"

"no!"

"Where are the two professors from the national branch?"

"It's quite normal."

"That's good!"

The secretary's heart moved: "Boss, is something wrong?"

Wang Yongqian sighed sadly: "Okura has found out the reason for the postponement of Christie's auction."

"So fast?"

"Almost a month, it's already slow enough!"

"Then will there be any changes on our side?"

Definitely.

Blocking people's way of making money is like killing your parents.

Okura will no longer be able to sell those relics of the so-called founding Khans and Chanyus, not even for public exhibition.

Not only that, in order to appease those countries and restore his reputation, Okura spent immeasurable costs.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but of course I have to look for the aftermath...

"Keep an eye on it, and if you find any bad signs, call me in time!"

"Don't worry, leader."

……

It is mid-May, and the greenery on the hillside is getting thicker. There are a few small flowers in the grass, red, blue, yellow and purple, bright and delicate.

The wind picked up, the screen windows rattled, and there was a faint smell of soot in the air.

The secretary closed the window gently and stood aside obediently.

Fujiwara frowned and scrolled the mouse.

There are not many photos, but they are very clear. They were all found from public channels. Without exception, they are all Li Ding'an.

There are a lot of written materials, and they are also very miscellaneous. There used to be a lot of them on the Internet, but now they are almost impossible to find. I don’t know which corner they found them from.

"Graduate student in the Department of Archeology at Peking University?"

"Expert in antiquities appraisal?"

"Xiping Stone Sutra, "Picture of Xi Weizi emerging from the bath" (Zhang Daqian), the bronze coffin of the prince of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Comprehensive Picture of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", Bada Shanren, Prince Ning's treasure..."

The more Fujiwara looked at it, the more surprised he became, "Could it be an exaggeration, packaged for publicity?"

"Probably not!" The foreign secretary opposite took out his mobile phone, "Your Excellency, please take a look!"

The above is a video clip of Li Ding'an identifying cultural relics in the Daliu tree venue during the Cultural Expo: dinosaur egg fossils, tiger tooth pipes, Song Dynasty manuscripts, letterboxes, pure gold wax buckets, pastel paste buckets...

This time it is more intuitive, unlike before, which only had text introduction.

Every time, Li Ding'an was able to clearly explain the origin, characteristics, provenance, and origin of each item from different angles and different historical materials.

And it's fast.

Fujiwara was amazed and amazed.

At the same time, he finally understood: who ruined his good deeds.

But who would have thought that Li Ding'an, who he met by chance in the museum and seemed to be just a college student, was actually a well-known cultural relic appraisal expert in China?
He was wary at that time, and even tried it out, but that Mongolian sentence was really too confusing, more Mongolian than Mongolian.

Baga, so cunning...

Suddenly, Fujiwara became suspicious again: "Does he understand Japanese?"

"It's not very clear, but even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter..."

The secretary of the foreign envoy swiped the screen and said, "Last year Su Fubi's spring shooting, he had in-depth cooperation with Su Fubi and China Baoli, and he is very familiar with both companies...

For this Christie's spring auction, Su Fubi and Baoli are both key invitees. Due to various considerations, the two companies actually asked him to consult before the auction, which is normal..."

yes?

If these information are true... No, as long as there is more than half of the truth, he should be called "China's most powerful appraiser". In order to increase their confidence, Su Fubi and Baoli asked him for advice. Isn't it normal? ?

And he happened to have been to the Albahere Museum?

For him, it may only take a glance to determine whether the two cultural relics are the same cultural relic, or whether there is any connection between the two cultural relics...

it's him!
Fujiwara exhaled heavily: "What is he doing in Mongolia?"

“Cooperating with the former Hangai Branch of the National University to find a site built in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties with Feng Shui properties!”

"Just a ruins?"

"Based on the information currently available, this is indeed the case."

"OK, thanks!"

The secretary nodded: "What are you going to do?"

"There is an old saying in China: It is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate!"

Fujiwara smiled and said, "Complain with integrity and repay kindness with kindness!" (End of Chapter)
