There are many doubts in the archaeological field that have been debated by archaeologists and historians, the reason is that many facts and truths have been lost in the long river of history, and future generations can only infer based on some clues left behind, but they cannot restore the real things that happened back then.

Just like the newly released Dunhuang documents in the temple, although Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren can judge their provenance, how did these precious cultural relics come from Dunhuang to this uninhabited desert?

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Zhongchuan was also very entangled in his heart, and now, he also understands that it is almost impossible to smuggle this batch of Dunhuang documents to Japan as an ownerless thing.

After thinking for a while, Zhongchuan raised his head and looked at Zhuang Rui, and said, "I can tell the origin of the treasure map, and I am also willing to take out the treasure map and the notes of the person back then, but I have a request......

When Zhuang Rui heard that there were still notes, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "What are the requirements......?"

You must know that many of the things that happened in ancient times and recorded in history books have been interpreted and adapted by later generations of historians, and only the handwriting left by the parties represents the most authentic historical truth.

"First, my name must be included in the name of this archaeological discovery, and second, in my family, there are some professionals who study Dunhuang culture, and I hope they can participate in the follow-up research work of this scientific expedition......

If you agree to these two conditions, I can share with you the Dunhuang documents obtained from the expedition of my great-grandfather Yoshikawa in China, but the results of the research must be named by our Japanese Dunhuang Studies Society......"

After thinking for a while, Zhongchuan put forward three conditions, Zhuang Rui frowned when he heard it, and only after a while did he say: "Mr. Zhongchuan, I can't give you an answer to this matter, I need to report it to the higher departments and listen to their opinions......"

In fact, after Zhuang Rui heard Zhongchuan's words, he was still very uncomfortable, but this discomfort could not be put into his mouth.

Dunhuang culture was originally unique to China, but due to the loss of too many documents abroad, the Dunhuang Culture Research Society is not only in China, but its own country's culture has to be studied with other countries, which can be regarded as a legacy of the country's weakness a hundred years ago.

Zhongchuan could understand Zhuang Rui's mentality that he couldn't make decisions about this matter, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Mr. Zhuang, can I first take a look at these Dunhuang scriptures from the belly of the Buddha statue?"

Coming thousands of miles to this desert, if Zhongchuan finally went back in disgrace without even seeing a piece of paper, he was afraid that he would feel unwilling to dream for the rest of his life.

"Of course, but ...... Mr. Nakagawa, I would also like to know how you got this treasure map......"

Although Zhuang Rui agreed to it, the following words made Zhongchuan feel that if he didn't tell the origin of the treasure map, it was estimated that Zhuang Rui would not let him enter the temple.

"That's my grandfather Yoshikawa......"

"Yoshikawa, the Japanese explorer who came to Dunhuang back then, aren't you surnamed Nakagawa?"

After hearing Yan Xiaowei's words translated in unison, Dr. Ren couldn't help but exclaim, and interrupted Zhongchuan's words a little rudely.

"Our family was in the sixties, and it was supposed to be Zhongchuan, which is like this, when my father was sorting out the Dunhuang documents from Zhongzhong, he found a diary ......"

The objects on the treasure map have been discovered, and it is not interesting to hide this history by himself, but Nakagawa is very honest to tell the secret of decades ago, and even the contents of Wang Daoshi's diary, there is no reservation.

"That's ...... so"

After listening to Zhongchuan's narration, Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang looked at each other, and in front of their eyes, it seemed that a real picture unfolded: the camel team hired by Wang Daoist a hundred years ago came to this ancient temple with the crisp sound of camel bells, and hid these precious Dunhuang documents in it.

With a long breath, Dr. Ren said: "It seems that the historical materials about the Dunhuang Scripture Cave are about to be rewritten, and the scriptures unearthed in the Dunhuang Scripture Cave should not be more than 50,000 volumes, but more than 80,000 volumes......"

"Brother Ren, when you go out this time, you can stay and sort out these materials, you have also done research on Dunhuang culture before......"

The publication of these documents will inevitably set off a wave of Dunhuang culture, and the later research and collation of these documents is also a very huge project, and a special research department will definitely be established.

With this batch of more than 30,000 precious cultural relics at the bottom, the research will definitely go very smoothly, and the people who participate in this research department dare not say that they will gain fame and fortune, this name will never be able to run away, at least they can be named an expert in Dunhuang cultural research.

As soon as Dr. Ren heard Zhuang Rui's words, he knew that he was passing the buck again, and hurriedly said: "No, this archaeology is led by you, and you must participate in the later research, I just need to do it......"

"Brother Ren, I don't have any research on Dunhuang culture, and the previous research direction is not on this, so I won't participate in ......"

Zhuang Rui shook his head, when he was a graduate student, he mainly focused on underwater archaeology, and several underwater salvages that shocked the archaeological world were mostly from his handwriting, but when he got to the doctorate, Zhuang Rui's research direction was about the tomb form and archaeological excavation of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhuang Rui's choice made Professor Meng very incomprehensible at the time, but Zhuang Rui had his own considerations.

Although the Yuan Dynasty was one of the most extensive dynasties in Chinese history, it was not completely assimilated by the Central Plains culture because it was less than a hundred years old, and it retained the characteristics of the Mongolian people in its living habits and tomb forms.

According to some very few records about Mongolian tombs, Mongolian burial customs do not seal the soil, do not plant trees, and do not have mausoleums, they will choose an extremely secret place, use a big wood as a coffin, and use ten thousand horses to step on it after deep burial.

Then the place will be sealed for three years, so that it is lush and people do not know where it is, only when the burial is to kill a young camel here and make the mother camel look at it, and the place where the mother camel comes here in his year is the burial place.

Due to the secrecy of this kind of tomb, although the Yuan Dynasty existed for 97 years and went through 11 emperors, the tombs of Emperor Temujin, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, to Emperor Yuan Shun, have not been found so far, which is also a gap in the Chinese archaeological community.

The reason why Zhuang Rui chose this secluded discipline is because of his love for Yuan blue and white porcelain, and secondly, to find the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, which is also a challenging test for him.

Not to mention the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, if Zhuang Rui can find any tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, it will cause a sensation in the entire world archaeological community, and I am afraid that the influence will not be under the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

You know, at that time, the Yuan Dynasty was an expedition to the banks of the Danube River in Europe, which can be called a rich world, and the emperor was buried thickly, so you can imagine the treasures hidden in its mausoleum.

"You kid still don't give up, the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty emperor is so easy to find, it's good if you can find a tomb of a Yuan Dynasty nobleman......"

Dr. Ren shook his head, he knew the research direction of Zhuang Rui's doctoral study, in his opinion, instead of choosing the illusory imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, it was better to study these Dunhuang documents in a down-to-earth manner.

"Hehe, maybe you can meet it, don't talk about it, Brother Ren, you guys get ready, and you'll return later......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, ending the topic, with the help of aura in his eyes, Zhuang Rui believed that as long as those imperial tombs were not in Outer Mongolia, he would definitely find something.

After everyone had eaten and rested for a while, Mengzi and Erdan drove six camels with baskets to the temple gate, and Zhuang Rui did this hard work, putting two packages of Dunhuang documents in each basket.

However, the limit of six camels, that is, more than twenty wrapped scriptures, in addition to the scrolls in the other two Buddha statues that had not been destroyed, there were still two or three thousand scriptures left in the main hall.

"Brother Ren, Peng Fei, be careful on the road, Professor Man, I want to ask you this time, these scriptures are priceless, you take care of them more......"

Because there are still two Buddha statues filled with Dunhuang documents in the temple, as well as those scattered scriptures, Zhuang Rui did not send everyone away, and said goodbye to Dr. Ren and others at the temple gate.

However, on the way back, with Mengzi leading the way, Peng Fei's escort, and Professor Man's old desert following, nothing will happen.

After sending Dr. Ren and the others away, Zhuang Rui allowed Zhongchuan to enter the Daxiong Treasure Palace, anyway, everything was in front of his eyes, and it would be nothing less for Zhongchuan to see.

Zhuang Rui later thought about it carefully, and the requirements put forward by Zhongchuan were still very complementary to the study of Dunhuang culture and the history of the rise and fall of those dynasties, and it was not impossible to consider.

After all, almost three-fifths of the Dunhuang documents unearthed a hundred years ago are abroad, and if you want to study them systematically and comprehensively, you still need the cooperation of museums and private individuals who have Dunhuang scriptures and cultural relics.

After seeing those scriptures, Zhongchuan also quieted down, he did not study the Dunhuang culture deeply, although he knew the value of these cultural relics, but he did not know why.

"Huh, what's the sound?"

Three days after Dr. Ren and the others left, Zhuang Rui was studying a handwritten copy of the Ancient Spirit Treasure Sutra of the Southern Heavenly Master when he suddenly heard a strange humming sound.

"Airplanes, helicopters, wow, several helicopters......"

As soon as Zhuang Rui walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he saw three green military helicopters circling over the poplar forest.
