The painting on the wall, "Genghis Khan's Imperial Appearance", is a set of drawings divided into several different story backgrounds, each of which is 120 cm x 50 cm in size. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOn this picture, Genghis Khan and others sit in the center with the Alzhai Grottoes as the background, and nearly 100 people of all colors are painted around them.

On the first fresco, there is a white pedestal with eight people depicted on it, the third from the left, Genghis Khan, who was called the Holy Lord by the Mongols, and the three women surrounding him, from the right, are Lady Pottihatun, Lady Kulan, and Lady Yesagan.

The four men on Genghis Khan's left, according to Zhuang Rui's inference, should be the prince Jochi, Chagatai, Okotai and Tulei, which is also the most complete portrait of Genghis Khan's golden family that Zhuang Rui has ever seen.

Looking down further, the picture turns, at the bottom right of the pedestal, there is a woman with about 20 people saluting to the central 8 people, Zhuang Rui analyzed, this woman should be the wife of Genghis Khan's expedition to Western Xia, they wore Mongolian traditional grandson clothes and carried camels, horses, cattle and sheep to the people on the stage to pay respects.

And in the lower part of the left and right of the central pedestal, there are more than 20 people saluting to the middle of the 8 people, showing the prosperity of the golden family at that time, which is also Zhuang Rui since entering the Alzhai Grottoes, see the most people in a mural, the scene is vivid and magnificent, and the content is extremely rich.

Seeing Zhuang Rui staring closely at the pattern on the wall, Battle said: "Brother Zhuang Rui, this painting is very similar to the painting that has been handed down since ancient times in the Eight White Palaces that our Ordos Ministry worshipped, this is indeed the place where the Great Khan once stayed, I don't know if it will help your archaeology?"

In the land of Inner Mongolia, in addition to the tomb of Genghis Khan, which is called the tomb of the clothed mound, the Alzhai Grottoes are also an important place for Mongolians to pay tribute to their ancestors.

"Yes, this is indeed the place where Genghis Khan stayed, and these murals are not groundless, most likely one of Genghis Khan's four sons did it......"

Zhuang Rui nodded when he heard this, he knew much more about the history of Genghis Khan than Battle, and the postures of the characters in the composition of this painting were almost exactly the same as those of the Great Khan and Hatun in the mandalas of the Yuan Dynasty in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This also shows that there is a portrait of Genghis Khan in the Alzhai Grottoes, which was indeed handed down from the Yuan Dynasty.

After going out of this grotto, the cave painting next to it is "Genghis Khan's Guarding the Mengyuan Khan Room".

In this mural, Genghis Khan appears as one of the four heavenly kings, holding a treasure umbrella in his right hand and a treasure mouse in his left hand, surrounded by yakshasas and rakshasas up and down, left and right, with a typical Tibetan Buddhist Buddhist painting tradition.

The King of Duowen was originally the god of treasure in Hindu mythology and legend, Kubera, who guarded the north and held wealth in Buddhist mythology, so he was also called "the heaven of wealth".

The Mongols called the King of Duowen as Namsalai, and also identified him as the god of wealth, Zhuang Rui knew through some documents that the Mongols firmly believed that the King of Duowen was the king of Genghis Khan after his death and ascension to heaven.

Of course, this is just a hype from the descendants of Genghis Khan, and this person who knew how to stabilize the regime through his mythical ancestors more than a thousand years ago is also very famous in history, that is, Kublai Khan and Paspa.

When it comes to Kublai Khan, everyone is naturally no stranger, a lifetime of conquest, domination of the world, starting from Kublai Khan, the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, and the stabilization of the ruling power of this horse nation.

But for the Ba Si Pa Qi people, many friends don't know much about it (well, those who have read Huang Yi's novels should know this name, the villain **oss), in fact, this person is also very famous in history, especially the impact on the society and religion of the Yuan Dynasty, which can be described as far-reaching.

Phags-pa is the fifth-generation patriarch of the Lassakya School of Tibetan Buddhism, a native of Tibetan Saska, whose real name is Luogu Luosi Jianzang, and Pas-pa is people's honorific title for him, which means "sage".

And Pasipa also has an important identity, that is, Kublai Khan's imperial teacher, the full title is "under the whole world, above the earth, the son of the West, incarnated as the Buddha, created writing, supported national politics, and was proficient in the five Ming Panzhida Basipa Emperor Master", also known as the emperor Dabao Dharma King, referred to as the emperor.

During his tenure as the national teacher and emperor, in addition to promoting the political, economic, and cultural development of the Tibetan areas, he also made great contributions to the stability and development of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as to the unity and cultural exchanges among all ethnic groups in the country.

For example, Genghis Khan's name as the king of Duowen came from the pen of Phags-pa, as the spiritual leader of the entire Mongolian people at that time, Phags-pa can be said to be the first person in the god-making movement throughout the ages, and in the decades after his death, some European nobles even worshipped Genghis Khan's image portrait of the king.

To say that the previous portraits, although they are exquisite, Zhuang Rui only watched them with an appreciative attitude, but when he walked to the top of the grotto, Zhuang Rui became serious.

Because what is painted in this grotto is the burial picture of Genghis Khan.

According to the burial customs of the Mongolians, it is "not to seal the soil, not to erect a monument, and its tomb has no grave, and it is trampled by horses, so that it is like flat ground." Therefore, there are very few records of Genghis Khan's mausoleum in words or pictures.

Although in recent years, many scholars from all over the world, including some people in Outer Mongolia, have claimed to have found the tomb of Genghis Khan, and have come up with various evidence.

But the facts show that the tomb of Genghis Khan is still out of sight and has not really been excavated.

As the founder of the Mongol Dynasty, Genghis Khan can be said to be rich in the world, a Mongolian expert once claimed that Genghis Khan's mausoleum, there may be a large number of rare treasures, the handicrafts in it are even more spectacular than the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

This is not alarmist, as Genghis Khan's tomb is most likely buried with priceless treasures from more than 20 kingdoms that he has been searching for over the years.

So far, it seems that no organization or archaeological team has excavated a Mongolian tomb containing a large number of treasures, let alone Genghis Khan, and even the tombs of his descendants are nowhere to be found.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that because of the particularity of the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, there are almost no written records, and even in the "Secret History of Mongolia", which is the most authoritative study of the history of the Yuan Dynasty, the tombs of emperors and nobles are also taboo.

And at this moment, one of the murals in front of Zhuang Rui is quite intriguing.

On the right side of the mural, there are two white yurts with high spires, and on the left side there is a temple and a palace, in which a woman is depicted, as if bowing her head in pain, which is a picture of Genghis Khan's death and the grief of the accompanying lady.

Zhuang Rui stared at the mural on the wall for a while, then turned his face to Battle and asked, "Brother Battle, in the tomb of Genghis Khan guarded by your clan, is there a record or mural about Genghis Khan's death?"

Hearing this, Battle shook his head and said, "No, the Great Khan once said before his death that his tomb will not be found by anyone, and it will never be known to the world, Brother Zhuang, I don't think you should waste this effort......"

As a member of the family of generations of guardians of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, although Battle understands Zhuang Rui's work and knows the benefits of finding Genghis Khan's mausoleum, he still does not want the souls of his ancestors to be disturbed.

According to Mongolian tradition, disturbing the soul of the deceased is disrespectful to the deceased, and they have an indifferent attitude towards the body of the deceased, the key is that the soul is immortal.

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Battle, Genghis Khan is not only a great emperor of China, but also occupies an important position in world history, if you can find his tomb, it will have an immeasurable important role in the study of Mengyuan culture, and it can also make you more aware of the merits of ......your ancestors."

From the beginning of the last century to today, there are probably tens of thousands of experts, scholars and tomb robbers who have come to Inner and Outer Mongolia to look for the tombs of Mongolian emperors, and even if the national archaeological department does not explore, I am afraid that in the end these tombs of Mongolian emperors will be excavated by some people with ulterior motives.

You know, when the Mongolians are buried, they like to bury all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and ordinary Mongolians are still like this, not to mention Genghis Khan, who was rich in the world at that time?

Some experts who study Mongolian culture once deduced that the treasures in the tomb of Genghis Khan were definitely not inferior to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and even surpassed, and this statement also led countless tomb robbers to be full of longing for the steppe.

Although the state has always been cautious about Mongolian archaeology in order to take care of the national sentiments of the Mongols, over the years, I don't know how many tomb robbers have flocked to this place.

"Could it be that this is where Genghis Khan's mausoleum is located?" Zhuang Rui suddenly had an extremely bold idea in his mind.

Mongolia has many plains and few mountains, although the mountains of the Alzhai Grottoes are not high, but the mountains and rivers are suitable, it can be regarded as a rare feng shui treasure in Mongolia, Genghis Khan stayed here many times during his lifetime, maybe he will really use this place as his place to live after his death.

"Brother Battle, there are a lot of precious materials recorded here, I want to stay here for two days, do you see if you can find someone to send a letter to Dr. Ren and ask him to come over too?"

When he saw an artificially dug tunnel and grotto in the northwest of the mountaintop, Zhuang Rui became more determined in his thoughts.

Because according to the introduction of the witch doctor who accompanied him, this place used to be the place where Genghis Khan recuperated, but no matter how Zhuang Rui looked, this place was more like a place to stop his soul!
