Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

"Hey Hey……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Ding'an just kept laughing like a neurotic.

There were two test tubes in front of him, filled with powder, one yellow and one purple. From time to time, he would dip his finger in it and lick it with his tongue.

Then, the laughter became even louder...

The team members were all hairy and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

"What's wrong with Teacher Li?"

"I don't know. Is this all after the experiment?"

"No...it's not poisoning, right?"

Who can tell?

In an instant, Yu Huiyin remembered the first day they arrived in Mongolia, when they were sitting on the plane, and Li Ding'an said: Purple salt is poisonous...

"Li Dingan... Li Dingan, don't eat it... This thing is poisonous... Are you crazy?"

"Haha, I'm not crazy..."

"Then you still lick?"

I'm happy.

After doing experiments, I found out that purple salt is exactly the same as eggplant: it will change color when the temperature is high, it will change color when the temperature is low, and it will even change color if it is oxidized with air or isolated from the air...

Because it contains carotenoids from Dunaliella salina.

This thing has a characteristic: it is yellow at low temperatures, but as the temperature rises, the color will gradually become darker: from yellow to pink, from pink to red, and then from red to purple... If it is above ten degrees, then When mixed with water, sodium chloride, sodium sulfide and other weak alkali salts for a long time, a stable purple color will be formed.

It must have been summer when the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops to conquer Rouran. At that time, the surface temperature in the desert area of ​​South Gobi Province was above 20 degrees. The salt lake was of course purple, and the precipitated salt was also purple.

But if the water is evaporated and the air is cut off, the carotenoids will return to their original yellow color.

Just like now: The salt lake has been dry for who knows how many years, and has been buried in quicksand for hundreds of years. Where can it get water and air? So what is dug out is of course yellow salt...

It’s no exaggeration: when he first saw the experimental results, Li Ding’an almost slapped himself: When taking samples, why didn’t he know how to steam the yellow salt in a pot or burn it over a fire?
Fortunately, it was only delayed for a few days...

He exhaled sharply and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Wang Yongqian was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"

"Of course it's the Purple Salt Pond..." Li Ding'an was full of confidence, "If you can't find it this time, I'll cut off your head and give it to you!"

Wang Yongqian leaned back violently, and the others cheered up.

We've known each other for so long, when did Li Ding'an say such satisfying things?

It's stable this time.

It's a pity that dreams are full and reality is very basic...

……

The wide river valley is like a sharp ax, cutting the Gobi Altai Mountains into pieces.

The mountains are towering, stretching across the sky, and the Gobi Desert is vast and desolate.

In the open wilderness, sand pits are densely packed and countless, forming a fish-shaped area that is long from east to west and short from north to south.

Under the sun, the yellow salt grains shine dazzlingly, like the scales on a fish.

"Book of Wei": Da Po crawled at the foot of Nan Bed Mountain, and the class teacher encountered a salt pond. The pond 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...

That's right, the newly dug fish-shaped area is the Purple Salt Pond, which is eight and a half kilometers long from east to west and nearly three kilometers from north to south. When converted into Wei ruler, it is exactly "fifteen miles from east to west and five miles from north to south."

Although the salt dug out now is yellow, if you can get some water, you can completely restore the spectacular scene of "purple clear water, water coming out of rock salt".

The Or River was also found as early as three months ago: the ancient Tulla River, which was regarded by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasties as "the place where the ancestors were founded."

Bigan City was also found, which is located at the foot of Tavan Tolgoi Mountain, ten kilometers to the north.

We also found Nantang Mountain, which is Tavan Tolgoi, which is less than fifty kilometers away from the border. Standing on the top of the mountain and using a slightly better telescope, you can see the boundary signs and outposts.

It's summer vacation now, and the bear kid (Bai Chao) is most likely in the brick house. If Li Ding'an is willing, he can talk to him through the barbed wire fence...

Dragon Vein Triad: Yes, this is the temple where the Mongolian ancestors’ mountains, Hangai Mountain, Altai Mountains, Gobi Altai Mountains and Yin Mountains meet.

Water yin and yang: This is even more correct. This is also the intersection of the ancient Tulla River and the ancient Lishui River (the ancient channel of the Wengjin River) regarded by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasties as "the place where the ancestors were born".

This is the first generation dragon temple where the Xiongnu "have three dragon temples every year" and "sacrifice the gods all day long in the first month, fifth month and ninth month". It is also the first generation of the Xiongnu Shan Yutouman and Maodun to "be in harmony with the sky" and "long live Qianqiu". The first generation of Dragon City.

To put it in Han Chinese terms: the Xiongnu established the ancestral court where the country was established for hundreds of years and the foundation of the king's achievements.

Let’s look at the Feng Shui pattern: Two dragons are running, disappearing without a trace, and Saturn rises steeply.

From northwest to southeast, the terrain of Hangai Mountain and Altai Mountain gradually becomes lower and the mountains gradually gentle, until they become endless flat land. Just like two dragons escaping without a trace... Two dragons running and escaping without a trace!

Further south, we reach the Gobi Altai Mountains, but there are also peaks protruding?

But the mountains are not mountains, and the veins are not veins. They are like row upon row, dotted with stars... rising steeply from Saturn.

At first glance, the dragon vein is broken?

No, quite the opposite.

Use nine: Do not use Qianlong, because the Yang is down.

Ninety-four: You may leap into the abyss, and there will be no fault in advancing.

Ninety-five: The flying dragon is in the sky, and the master has made it.

This is the situation of "the dragon flies out of the ocean and the fish returns to the shore to nest", which is auspicious!
The Yinshan Mountains more than 300 kilometers away are the flying dragon in "There is no fault" and "The flying dragon is in the sky"... And the 600 miles of Gobi Desert is the land of the ocean in "The Dragon Ends in the Ocean", and it is also the third dragon vein. A place of unity.

Looking back: "Tavan Tolgoi (translated into Chinese as five peaks) more than ten kilometers to the north, and the Gobi Altai Mountains like chess pieces further to the north are the nests of the 'fish returning to the shore'" …

It is necessary for the historical data to match the historical data, for the ancient geography to match the ancient geography, and for the Feng Shui pattern to match the Feng Shui pattern. The third site will only be built here.

However, there are no eggs.

It has been almost two months since I found the salt pond. Not to mention the ruins, not even a hair has been found...

The wind blew loudly, and the clothes flapped against the body, making a crisp sound.

Li Ding'an stood on the middle peak of Tawen Tao Jin Gai, his eyes dull, like a sculpture.

He kept mumbling:

"Shouldn't it?"

"Where else can we run but here?"

"Did you see a ghost?"

A group of people gathered around, looking at each other.

From December last year to now, it has been a full year: trekking through mountains and rivers, going cross-country, eating and sleeping in the open air, sleeping under the cover of the sky... there are endless mountains to climb, endless rivers to cross, endless roads to walk, endless stars to see.

As well as endless information, endless pictures, and more than a hundred sleepless nights with red eyes.

How many hardships I have endured, how many sins I have suffered... I can’t even count them.

In the end, nothing?

No matter who it is, he will collapse... After a long silence, Wang Yongqian patted him on the shoulder: "If you can't find it, you can't find it. Let's just accumulate experience."

Li Ding'an twisted his face: "Shouldn't you?"

Are you starting to get into trouble again?

Wang Yongqian sighed softly and thought for a while: "Is it possible that I didn't find the right place?"

"It's impossible. Apart from this, there won't be another place."

Li Ding'an took the notebook, pulled out the map marked with three circles, and pointed to the westernmost Kormi Sands: "Look, where is this?"

Wang Yongqian took a look: "Qinglong Mountain... you said that this is the intersection of the Jurchen Dragon Vein Daxingan Mountains, the Khitan Dragon Vein Muye Mountain, and the Yanshan Branch of the Han Dragon Vein!"

"Yes, the place where the three dragons merge..." Li Ding'an pointed to the middle again, "Where is this?"

"Hunshan Ancient City is the intersection of the three dragon veins of Yinshan Mountain, Helan Mountain and Yanshan Mountain."

"Yes, it's still the place where the three dragons merge... What about here, right under our feet?"

"The place where Hangai Mountain, Altai Mountain and Yin Mountain meet?"

"Yes, it's still three dragons combined!"

Li Ding'an nodded twice again: "Look at these two five-pointed stars?"

"Hala and Lin, the capital!"

"Then look at the biggest circle."

Wang Yongqian took a closer look and slowly opened his eyes: The so-called largest circle is actually the position under their feet, but it happens to be where Hara and Lin and the capital must pass?
He recalled what Li Ding'an said before: The reason why Meng Yuan drove the dragon vein was because after the death of Ogedai (the second generation Khan of Mongolia), Mongolia was divided into four. But Kublai Khan was unwilling to do so and wanted to achieve "Mongolian unification" in the true sense.

So he made the capital the capital, named the country "Yuan", and introduced all the dragon veins of the Jin Dynasty, the Khitan dragon veins, the Han people's dragon veins, and even the Mongolian dragon veins to the capital.

Among the four dragon veins in the east, west, south and north, the Mongolian dragon vein is the most majestic, and it is also at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. The key is that this is the ancestral dragon where the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty originated and even prospered, and laid the foundation of the ancestors.

What, give up?

No fool would do this...

Under this premise, the third magic circle must be built, and it cannot be built anywhere else, only here...

The problem is, can't find it?

It’s no exaggeration: in the past two months, from Tawen Tao Jin Gai to the border, it is more than 60 kilometers from north to south and almost 100 kilometers from east to west. The team members have almost walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, one hundred meters and one hundred meters. .

If you look down from the air: there are caves all over the land... just like the bottom of a sieve.

Dozens of large tombs and small tombs were excavated, as well as an ancient city from the Xiongnu period, three fortress cities from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and a dozen beacon towers.

But there really are no Feng Shui ruins.

Where else can I run?

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, Yu Huiyin thought thoughtfully: "Li Ding'an, is it possible that the order of building the array at that time was first small and then big, easy first then difficult, for example, Qinglong Mountain was built first, and Hunshan was built later. Ancient city. After these two were built, when the third formation was being built, Mongolia was destroyed?"

impossible……

As soon as the words came to his lips, Li Ding'an suddenly paused again: Wasn't it built?

This sentence seems to have been said by him himself?
Just after arriving in Alxa, the team members were in the conference room and watched with their own eyes the strong wind blowing the stone as big as a millstone and rolling it to the base of the wall.

He Anbang said: With such strong winds and such a large desert, no matter how large the ruins are, they are buried tightly, making it difficult to find them.

I told him: It’s actually not difficult. Because the mountains are obvious and the direction is clear, as long as the ancient river channel is found, it is only a matter of time before the ruins are found...unless it is not built.

what about now?

It's such a big place, and even after digging like this, nothing is found. Apart from not building it, there seems to be no second reason?

Think about it carefully: the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in 1280, and Xu Da conquered the Yuan Dynasty in 1368, which means that the Yuan Dynasty existed for eighty-eight years.

But if we infer the construction time of the site, it is definitely not that long: it should be after the death of Kublai Khan and the succession of Emperor Shizong of the Yuan Dynasty. It roughly started around 1295 and ended around 1323 when the Nanpo Incident happened.

Since then, internal and external troubles in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty have intensified, and internal strife has broken out. Sometimes one group rebels, and another group rebels. The Yuan Dynasty changed emperors every three days, and there was an endless civil war.

The external situation is gradually becoming turbulent. The Han people are rising up everywhere, with wars and uprisings everywhere.

It's too late to quell the chaos, so how can I have the extra financial resources to build some Feng Shui array?
So from front to back, it will not exceed twenty-eight years.

The key thing is that during these twenty-eight years, the Dayuan Dynasty was not all smooth sailing: in the previous sixteen years, it fought with the Ogedai Khanate every year, and it never stopped until the Ogedai Khanate was destroyed.

It was not easy to stop fighting, because the implementation of Sinicization triggered a series of internal contradictions, leading to turmoil in the DPRK. It finally reached its peak in 1323: the emperor was assassinated and kings fought for the throne.

If you calculate it this way, the time to build the magic circle will only be shorter...

It also coincides with what he said to He Anbang and Wang Yongqian before: No matter how eccentric the coordinates of the ruins are or how deeply they are buried by quicksand, he is not afraid. It is nothing more than calculation based on the mountain topography and ancient river channels, and then exploring point by point.

I am just afraid that it has not been built yet, or that there is not enough time to build it...

Now think about it: the more I think about it, the more likely it is?
Gradually, Wang Yongqian's heart sank.

It’s not that we’re worried about not being able to find the ruins, it’s already the case, and 99% of them can’t be found.

What he is afraid of is that Li Ding'an has a bad temper: he will not look back until he knocks down the south wall.

If it's domestic, of course it doesn't matter, the big deal is just a waste of time. But this is a foreign country, and many things cannot be taken for granted.

How to advise?
For a while, Wang Yongqian had a lot of thoughts, but they seemed to be half-hearted, and it was probably in vain.

What should I do?
One person is short-term, three people are long-term...

He rolled his eyes and glanced back and forth several times, finally looking at Shu Jinghao and then at Yu Huiyin.

Shu Jinghao shook her head slightly, meaning don't look at her, it's useless.

Yu Huiyin did not shake his head, but pursed his lips tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although Li Ding'an lowered his head, Wang Yongqian's little movements were all visible: "If you have something to say, say it directly without winking!"

Wang Yongqian sighed: "If you can't, go back to China first and rest for a while. If you are really unwilling, let's slowly think of a solution after we go back... There is more power with more people?"

What else can you think of?
I have already thought of all the ways I should think of, and I have worked hard on all the things I should work hard on...

"It's been half a year since then... I'm really a bit unwilling!"

But what can we do if we are not willing to give in?
He let out a long breath: "You'd better say something cruel and make me give up completely!"

Yu Huiyin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

What's so true about this?
After half a year of hard work, who doesn’t miss home?

It doesn't matter to me, but I don't want to bother others like this...

He nodded: "Don't worry!"

"The Feng Shui magic circle must not have been built. Including the previous two, 99% of them are defective... so there is no third magic circle at all!"

Yu Huiyin clapped his fingers in a serious manner, "Otherwise, think about it: The Meng Yuan Dynasty was so powerful, how could the country be destroyed in less than a hundred years?"

Li Ding'an was suddenly stunned: Are you really cruel?

He also knew very well that these were all fallacies, but for a moment, he was speechless?

Because from the perspective of Feng Shui metaphysics, this reason is so perfect that it couldn’t be more perfect...

Okay, I gave up... (End of this chapter)
