Xixia dead book

Chapter 75 The Lost 1964 (12)
Tim Moshen took Tang Feng around the China Pavilion and introduced the origin and artistic value of each cultural relic in detail. Tang Feng knew these Chinese cultural relics very well, but he didn't want Tim Moshen to see that he was very knowledgeable Therefore, Tang Feng frowned all the way, pretending not to know anything, and listened carefully to Ji Moshen's introduction. Although Tang Feng thought it was a bit ridiculous, he knew it was necessary.

When they walked back to the few Xixia cultural relics from Heishui City, Timo Shen introduced to Tang Feng: "These few precious cultural relics are from the Chinese Xixia Dynasty. Love discovered it in Heishui City in Northwest China, it was an important discovery that shocked the entire academic world, and it is completely comparable to Stein's discovery in Dunhuang."

"Xixia? Heishui City? I have been to Dunhuang. Stein discovered the scripture cave there, but I haven't heard much about Xixia and Heishuicheng!" Tang Feng pretended to be ignorant. Consciously dressed in a similar way, I can become an actor.

"Oh! First of all, I want to correct your mistake. The Dunhuang Scripture Cave was not discovered by Stein, but by the Taoist priest surnamed Wang." Ji Moshen corrected.

Tang Feng secretly laughed, Ji Moshen was quite serious this time, he thought I really didn't know, but at the same time, Tang Feng also began to admire Ji Moshen's rigorous academic attitude, which is what is lacking in Chinese academic circles.

Timoshin then began to introduce the history and culture of Xixia to Tang Feng, and finally talked about Kozlov's expedition and the discovery of Heishui City. Tang Feng listened for a long time, and what Timoshin said was basically what he knew. Yes, there is nothing special about it, so Tang Feng interrupted Tymoshin's introduction, wanting to ask some questions he was interested in: "I'm sorry, I want to ask a question about the precious things that Kozlov found in Heishui City. Were all the Xixia cultural relics brought to Petersburg by him later?"

"Well, yes, the funding for Kozlov's scientific expedition was paid by the Royal Geographical Society, so Kozlov dedicated all the cultural relics to the Tsar."

"Then where are these precious cultural relics stored now?"

"That's right, Kozlov, including some other explorers brought back precious documents and cultural relics from Northwest China, some of them are stored in the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences in Petersburg, and some are in the Winter Palace."

"Then what can I see?" Tang Feng asked.

Tymoshen spread his hands and said helplessly: "Unfortunately, what we can see now are only a few cultural relics, because those cultural relics are too huge. I have worked hard, but I still haven't been able to fully present them to the world. Even I, as a professional researcher, have only seen a small amount of documents and cultural relics. But please believe that our generations of scholars are still making unremitting efforts. Have you ever heard such a sentence? ——Although Xixia is in China, the research of Xixia studies is in Russia.”

Tymoshen said proudly, "Although Xixia is in China, the research on Xixia studies is in Russia." Of course Tang Feng has heard this sentence, but today, when a Russian scholar said this sentence to him At that time, his heart was deeply stabbed.

Tang Feng tried his best to keep himself calm, but he still felt an indescribable depression. This kind of depression made him unable to breathe, and made him want to suffocate!He wanted to leave the China Pavilion as soon as possible, but Ji Moshen still seriously introduced to Tang Feng several cultural relics of Xixia in the display cabinet, scriptures written in Xixia language, scriptures written in Chinese language, and the head of Lushena Buddha. Mo Shen pointed to the head of Lushena Buddha, and said to Tang Feng: "This Buddha head was discovered by Kozlov in a white tower in Heishui City. When Koznov opened the white tower, the Buddha statue Just sitting in the middle of the white pagoda, surrounded by various scriptures written in Xixia and Chinese, as well as other large and small Buddha statues."

"White Tower?" Tang Feng seems to have read related records in Kozlov's memoirs. It was a barbaric excavation, not a scientific excavation at all. Tang Feng tried his best to restrain his emotions and asked Ji Moshen: "Is that the White Tower that Kozlov called the 'Great Tower'?"

Curiosity made Tang Feng's previous performance go to waste. When he said this, he regretted it. He had to admit that he was not an excellent "actor" yet!Ji Moshen's eyes lit up when he heard Tang Feng's question, and he said in surprise, "Yes, that's the 'Great Tower'! It seems that you don't know nothing about Xixia!"

"Thank you, I just occasionally read a book introducing the history of Xixia, which seemed to mention a 'great tower'! So..." Tang Feng tried his best to hide it, but he felt that his acting skills had changed. It's getting worse and worse.

Tim Moshen didn't say anything more, he continued to introduce the cultural relics in the showcase to Tang Feng, Tang Feng moved slowly following Tim Moshen's introduction, suddenly, an unremarkable and very dilapidated cultural relic in the showcase entered his Eyelid, from the appearance, this is a book, an ancient book in a butterfly dress. Tang Feng judged with his rich professional knowledge that the ancient books in a butterfly dress are usually from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Tang Feng stopped in front of that ancient book , it may be because it is too old, the cover of the ancient book is pitch black, Tang Feng can't see what is written in the ancient book at all, and there is no introduction of this cultural relic in the showcase, Tang Feng turned to ask Ji Moshen: " Is this Xi Xia's too?"

Tymoshen glanced at the broken and incomplete ancient book in the showcase, and said, "Yes, this is a book about the geography of Western Xia. It's called "Sheng Li Yi Hai"!"

""Shengli Yihai"?" Tang Feng pretended not to know. In fact, anyone who has studied the history of Xixia knows this "Shengli Yihai", but Tang Feng has never seriously studied this book in the past.

"This book was also brought back by Kozlov from Heishui City. Deciphering the Xixia characters on it is of great reference value for us to understand the geographical situation, mountains and rivers of Xixia." Feng glanced at Tang Feng, and Tang Feng also stared at Ji Moshen. He felt that Ji Moshen hadn't finished speaking. Sure enough, Timoshen paused, and then introduced: "However, unfortunately, this "Sheng Liyi" The Sea is not complete, it is missing a few pages."

"How many pages are missing? Was it missing when Kozlov found out?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

Tymoshen shook his head: "I don't know about that either. Well, I've seen this exhibition hall, and I'll take you to other exhibition halls."

After finishing speaking, Ji Moshen walked straight to other exhibition halls. Tang Feng glanced at the "Sheng Li Yihai" again, and hurriedly followed Ji Moshen, leaving the China Pavilion.

Tang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of depression just now disappeared. Ji Moshen led Tang Feng through the splendid exhibition halls of the Winter Palace. Tang Feng felt that Ji Moshen had obviously sped up the speed, and he was a little out of step. Going up, Tang Feng followed Timo Shen to a luxurious room on the south side of the second floor of the Winter Palace. He still wanted to see more, but Timo Shen walked to other exhibition halls. Timo Shen walked more than ten steps and found that Tang Feng didn't catch up, looking back, Tang Feng was still lingering in that exhibition hall, Ji Moshen walked back and smiled, "Why, can't you keep up?"

"Well, I can't keep up a bit, you're walking too fast!"

Tymoshin explained: "It's not that I walked fast, but the Winter Palace is too big. The Winter Palace was ordered by Queen Elizabeth. It was built in 1754, and it was not until eight years later that another great woman named It was only built in 1762 when Tsar Catherine II came to power. It has 1050 rooms, 1886 doors and 1945 windows. The Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage, New Hermitage and Hermitage Theater combine to form the Hermitage Museum, which houses 250 million pieces from around the world It is the largest museum in Russia and one of the largest museums in the world."

"250 million collections?" Tang Feng was deeply shocked by this astonishing number.

"Yes, someone has calculated that if you want to walk through all the exhibition halls of the Winter Palace, you need to walk 22 kilometers. Assuming you stop in front of each exhibit for 1 minute, calculated as 8 hours a day, then you need to spend 15 years." Tymoshin said proudly.

"It really is a temple of art!" Tang Feng exclaimed.

"The Winter Palace is not only a temple of art, it also carries a lot of history. For example, the room we are in now, before the October Revolution, was the place where the ministers of the Provisional Government worked. On the day the October Revolution attacked the Winter Palace, the Bolsheviks This is where the ministers were captured alive, and you look at the clock on this table, and its time is forever fixed at that moment—2:25."

It wasn't Tim Moshen's introduction, Tang Feng might have ignored these details, but looking out the window, the sky outside was getting dark, "The days in Petersburg in winter are so short!" Tang Feng complained secretly.

After Ji Moshen's introduction, he looked at his watch and said to Tang Feng, "It will be five o'clock soon, and I will take you to see a must-see place for visitors to the Winter Palace."

After finishing speaking, Timo Shen led Tang Feng through many corridors, and came to the Little Hermitage Palace. In the center of the hall of the Little Hermitage Palace, there is a lifelike golden peacock clock. Timo Shen said to Tang Feng Feng said: "At five o'clock, the staff of the museum will turn the clockwork of this mechanical peacock. At that time, this mechanical peacock will open its screen with the crisp and melodious bell, showing its jewel-encrusted beauty. Cui Yu."

"Really? It's so amazing!" Tang Feng looked at the golden peacock clock. It was made one-to-one according to the size of a real peacock. It was already admirable without opening the screen.

Tymoshin added: "At this time, tourists who visit the museum will gather in this exhibition hall to enjoy this spectacle. You see, at this moment, people have gathered here one after another."

Tang Feng looked at his watch. The time was coming. At this moment, more and more people gathered in the hall. When it was approaching five o'clock, the hall was already full of tourists from all over the world. Everyone was holding their breaths, waiting for this magical moment. .

Sure enough, a staff member of the museum came over and fully wound up the mechanical peacock. After five o'clock, all the lights in the hall were turned on at the same time, and the mechanical peacock slowed down with the crisp and melodious bell. Opened the emerald feathers studded with jewels, and slowly turned to the left, the mechanical peacock shone with golden light, shining brightly. In the hall, the people who witnessed this spectacle erupted into warm applause and exclamation.

After the mechanical peacock turned 5 degrees, it slowly turned back to its original position. The whole process lasted for [-] minutes.After the mechanical peacock returned to its original position, the emerald feathers inlaid with jewels were also put away again, and the golden peacock clock was restored to its original state.The people in the hall began to disperse gradually. Tang Feng was deeply attracted by this miraculous scene. When the people in the exhibition hall dispersed one after another, Tang Feng came back to his senses, but when he turned back to look for Timo Shen, he found Shin is gone.

Tang Feng was full of suspicion. He searched back and forth in the hall, and the people in the hall gradually left. In the end, only Tang Feng was left standing alone in the middle of the hall.

"What a weird person! He came and went in a hurry! Why didn't he say goodbye!" Tang Feng pondered, walked out of the hall, but still didn't see Timo Shen, he looked outside the window, it was getting late, and it was time to go back, So, Tang Feng walked out of the Winter Palace resentfully.

Tang Feng stood in front of the gate of the Winter Palace, and the piercing cold wind blew in. Tang Feng couldn't help shivering, and he came to his senses. He turned around and looked at this magnificent palace, thinking about what happened in the Winter Palace during the past half day. , suddenly felt as if a world away.What happened to that strange Tymoshin?I still want to ask him about Professor Boris again, it seems that I have to wait until next time! ...But he didn't leave Ji Moshen's contact information, Tang Feng regretted it, but he thought about it, Ji Moshen said that he was working in the Winter Palace, and if necessary, he would come to the Winter Palace to find him next time.

Tang Feng didn't think about Timoshin any more, he felt that it was too early to go back to school, he might as well take a stroll on Nevsky Prospekt, so Tang Feng wandered around again, and before he knew it, he had already left After leaving Nevsky Prospekt, walking a long distance, and finding a restaurant for dinner, Tang Feng remembered, where are Han Jiang and Xu Renyu?I was visiting the museum just now and turned off my mobile phone. I don't know if the two of them are going well today?
Tang Feng hurriedly turned on his cell phone and dialed Han Jiang's cell phone, but no one answered Han Jiang's cell phone. Tang Feng felt bad, and he dialed Xu Renyu's cell phone again, but no one answered!Tang Feng panicked, his brain guessed and judged quickly, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

Tang Feng looked around, where is this?I seem to have been far away from the Winter Palace, Han Jiang and Xu Renyu's mobile phones can't get through, and I am alone in this strange street, Tang Feng nervously watched everyone passing by, where am I?How is this going?Tang Feng felt that everyone around him was looking at him, and he felt deep fear, perhaps, danger was approaching him!

"It's time to go back!" Tang Feng tried his best to keep himself calm. He asked a passerby and found the way back to school.Back downstairs in the dormitory, Tang Feng looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there were no lights in the dormitory, no!If everything goes well for Han Jiang and Xu Renyu, they should be back now. At this moment, Tang Feng can almost conclude that something must have happened to Han Jiang and Xu Renyu. He doesn't know what to do next?Maybe go back to the dormitory and wait until they come back?Maybe there is danger waiting for him in the dormitory?Tang Feng lingered downstairs in the dormitory for a long time, but finally couldn't bear the severe cold, so he had to walk upstairs.

Tang Feng came to the door of the dormitory in a wild way of thinking, and when he opened the door, he immediately smelled a different smell, which did not belong to this room. Someone is coming in!" Tang Feng was just about to press the light switch, when suddenly, a burly man in the darkness pounced on him and threw him to the ground, and then, the man pressed Tang Feng's back with his knees, Tang Feng struggled Resist, but that man is extremely powerful, any struggle of Tang Feng is futile.

The light in the room was on, and Tang Feng was dragged up by that person. Tang Feng found a thin Russian man with a gloomy face sitting on the sofa opposite him, and the one who threw him down just now was a big and round Russian man. , At the same time, Tang Feng also noticed that there were a few strong men standing outside the door. Tang Feng secretly said that it was not good, but he still asked the man in front of him neither humble nor overbearing: "Who are you?"

The strong man who fell on him let go of Tang Feng, took out his ID from his pocket, shook it in front of Tang Feng, and said, "I am Major Ivanov of the Federal Security Bureau, and I am here to handle the case!"

Ivanov?Tang Feng seems to have heard of this man, um, Han Jiang told him about it last night, and showed him the photo Yelena gave him. This strong man is Ivanov, so, the one sitting opposite The middle-aged man should be the sinister Ilyukin!
"What does your handling of the case have to do with me? I am a visiting scholar invited by Petersburg University. I will sue you for such illegal intrusion!" Tang Feng did not show any weakness. The reason why he has this confidence is because of Ivan Luo The husband did not put handcuffs on him, which shows that they have no clue and dare not arrest him casually.

"Stop talking nonsense, take out your passport for inspection!" Ivanov yelled at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng heard the lack of confidence in Ivanov's roar, so he unhurriedly took out his passport from his bag. Of course, it was a fake passport made by Xu Renyu with superb technology. Come to Peter In front of the fort, Xu Renyu specially made a series of fake documents for Tang Feng and himself, and Han Jiang saved these because he used his public identity.

On the passport, Tang Feng's name changed to "Song Jie"!Tang Feng also took out some other supporting materials, including the school's invitation letter, etc., some are true and some are false, and the truth is false. .But Ivanlov obviously refused to let it go, and he asked sharply, "Do you know the person living in the next room?"
