Chapter 1119: Great Significance
readx;
"There is some truth to what you say, but why did Daoist Wang hide these scriptures here, and was the date before or after he sold the Dunhuang documents?"
This archaeology is similar to the police solving the case, after encountering some clues, I like to reason and analyze, when I prove a history through my own research, the sense of accomplishment is very strong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After hearing Zhuang Rui's analysis just now, Dr. Ren even forgot the scroll in his hand for a while, and he couldn't wait to immediately dissect the historical truth and restore the scene at that time.
"Brother Ren, these are just my guesses, I can't do it accurately, if you want me to say, Zhongchuan must know something......"
The copy obtained from Nakagawa only has the picture of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the library, and as for the record written by Wang Daoshi himself, Nakagawa did not bring it to China, according to this copy, Zhuang Rui can only guess these.
"Damn, that little Japan must know something, why don't you go back and ask Peng Fei to give him some means?"
Dr. Ren, who has always behaved mildly in front of people, couldn't help but burst out at this moment.
has touched the truth of history and is not allowed to enter, which makes Dr. Ren's heart itch, just like after taking three tablets of viagra in a row, knowing that his wife and aunt are coming, the feeling of aggrieved makes Dr. Ren want to pull Zhongchuan in and beat him violently.
"Hehe, Brother Ren, hold that kid for a day, see if he says ......"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, he drove Zhongchuan out, in fact, he was already calculating him, now the matter is obvious, Zhongchuan came all the way to China, he must be looking for this batch of scriptures, and if he can't see it, Zhuang Rui doesn't believe that Zhongchuan can hold back?
"You kid......"
Dr. Ren also reacted, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "What if Zhongchuan keeps refusing to say it?"
"That's easy, just follow what you said, let Peng Fei give him some means, and throw him into the quicksand when he goes back...... Zhuang Rui said with a nonchalant face.
"No, I'll just say that, don't, it's amazing......"
Ren Chunqiang was taken aback by Zhuang Rui, after getting along for so many days, he also knew that Peng Fei was not a good stubble, maybe he could really do this thing of destroying corpses.
"Come on, Brother Ren, I'm a good citizen, I'm joking with you, let's clean up these things first, and then notify the teacher and the comrades of the Dunhuang Cultural Relics Bureau......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, his senior brother is really a nerd, he can't tell the truth from the false, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Don't take it seriously, you kid......" Dr. Ren glanced at Zhuang Rui suspiciously, he knew that Zhuang Rui had a deep background, and if he really wanted Zhongchuan to disappear in China, it would not necessarily be a difficult matter.
"Of course it's true, Xiao Jia, what are you snickering, come and help......"
Zhuang Rui saw that Dr. Ren was still serious, and changed the topic with a smile, and sure enough, Ren Chunqiang heard that he was going to start moving the scriptures out, and his expression immediately became serious.
Since the entrance of the cave is open behind the Buddha statue, there is also a pedestal more than one meter high, and these scrolls can only be handed to Xiao Jia and others through Zhuang Rui one by one, and then put on the ground.
There are almost more than 200 volumes of ancient books wrapped in a scroll wrapped in oiled paper alone, and it is cumbersome and inefficient to take out such a scroll outward, and after more than an hour, the scriptures in the first disassembled oiled paper will be taken out.
"Brother Ren, this can't work, it's too inefficient......"
In this Buddha statue alone, there are thirty or forty oiled cardboard boxes, and if you take them out like this, I am afraid it will take at least two days, not to mention that after the scroll is taken out of the oiled paper, it is also very unfavorable for storage.
"What then? You can't put it here, can you? If something goes wrong, no one can ......afford it."
Dr. Ren stopped, frowned, thought for a moment and said, "This road is too difficult to walk, if you notify people from outside to come in, when you pass through the quicksand area, maybe there will be danger, we have a total of sixteen or seventeen camels now, let's find a way to take them out......"
"You can't take it apart and take it out, it's too damaging to the scroll......"
Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Brother Ren, come out, let's expand this hole a little more, and I'll go in and move ...... directly."
After Dr. Ren came out, the two of them pulled out a lot of green bricks from the hole, and the entire hole could already allow Zhuang Rui to enter and exit upright.
"Slow down, be careful, don't let the oiled paper open the bag, don't fall ......"
After Zhuang Rui walked into the belly of the Buddha statue, he directly held an oiled paper package with both hands and lifted it...... Those Scriptures.
Zhuang Rui held the oil-paper sutra that was wrapped in a boxy box, carefully handed it to Xiao Jia and the two who were standing under the pedestal, and said jokingly to Dr. Ren: "Cough, Brother Ren, are you afraid of falling on me or these scriptures?"
Don't look at these are paper books, but the shaft rod in the middle is made of good solid wood, the weight is really not light, such a pack is estimated to be sixty or seventy pounds, although Dr. Ren can also hold it, but when he walks, he is not as stable as Zhuang Rui.
With Zhuang Rui's tireless labor, the efficiency of taking out the scriptures from the Buddha statue suddenly accelerated, and at noon, a total of forty-three scriptures wrapped in oil paper in this Buddha statue were all taken out and placed neatly on the ground in the middle of the main hall.
Zhuang Rui has aura that can relieve physical fatigue, but Xiao Jia and the others can't, they will be tired and can't get up from sitting on the ground, even Dr. Ren is arm weak, and went out to call Peng Fei to come over to change shifts.
As for Nakagawa, he kept sticking his head out to look into the temple all morning, and of course, standing at the bottom of the steps, he couldn't see the movement in the main hall anyway.
……
"Zhuang Rui, I called the teacher, the teacher booked a ticket for the afternoon, and then contacted someone from the Dunhuang cultural relics department to come over together......"
Dr. Ren took Zhuang Rui's satellite phone and ran into the hall in high spirits, and when he was talking to his tutor on the phone just now, he could feel that Professor Meng, who has always been known for his calmness and rationality, was also excited.
"Brother Ren, if no one leads the way, it will be difficult for them to come in, let's think about how to bring these things out first, right?" Zhuang Rui looked at the mountain-like scroll in front of him, and his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
This bag of scriptures weighs about sixty or seventy catties, and thirty packs is more than two thousand catties, and a camel can carry two or three hundred catties of weight without affecting normal walking, which means that they can't take all these scrolls and scriptures out at one time.
Dr. Ren also discovered this problem and said, "Also, don't say that there are not enough camels, even if there are few baskets on their backs, you can't put these scriptures on the hump, right?"
This time when I entered the desert, counting the camels of Erdan and others, there were only six camels in total that carried supplies, and each had two baskets on their backs, and it was almost impossible for these six camels to transport these scriptures out.
Zhuang Rui thought for a while, and said: "That's it, Brother Ren, let Brother Mengzi lead the way, you and Xiaolei and Peng Fei go out, return to the town to meet the teacher, and then bring the camel team in......"
Dr. Ren shook his head and said, "It's better for you to lead the team out, I'll guard these scriptures......"
It's not that Ren Chunqiang is hypocritical or afraid of running more, the key is that when they go out of the desert, there will be countless domestic and foreign media waiting for interviews, and it is estimated that CCTV will also follow and report, which is an opportunity to be in the limelight.
You must know that the advent of this batch of Dunhuang documents is no less sensational than dropping an atomic bomb in the domestic scientific research community, and its importance is even far greater than when Zhuang Rui found the fossils of Peking Man.
The documents in the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave started from the Eastern Han Dynasty and went through more than ten dynasties such as the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the Northern Song Dynasty, spanning more than 700 years of time and space.
Its content includes dozens of disciplines, including politics, economy, military, transportation, geography, calendar, contract, household registration, medicine, mathematics, calligraphy, music, etc.
Although the exact number of these scriptures has not yet been counted, Zhuang Rui roughly estimated that all the documents in the three Buddha statues should not be less than 30,000 volumes, which is almost more than two-thirds of the Dunhuang documents unearthed in the Tibetan scripture cave 100 years ago.
Therefore, this archaeological discovery will become a milestone in the Chinese archaeological community, and will definitely be remembered in the history of world archaeology, and the names of these personnel in the archaeological team will also be recorded in the relevant textbooks.
If the archaeological team is still like this, then the first person to discover these documents and scrolls will of course have more honors, and it is only because of Dr. Ren that Dr. Ren will have the saying that Zhuang Rui will lead the team out, because these scriptures were originally discovered by Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui understood what Ren Chunqiang meant, smiled and said: "Brother Ren, I don't need these anymore, just because I am the leader of this archaeological team, I will have everything I should have, but you will immediately evaluate the title of researcher, you need these very much......"
With Zhuang Rui's current net worth and reputation in the antique jade industry, he really doesn't need this gimmick of discovering Dunhuang documents to seek any benefits for himself.
And as Zhuang Rui said, as the leader of the archaeological team, all the honors will have his share.
But this discovery, pure accident, is not the main purpose of Zhuang Rui's trip, Zhuang Rui is actually brewing more significant discoveries in his heart, but that idea will be too ridiculous in the eyes of others, Zhuang Rui has never said it to the other members of the archaeological team.
Zhuang Rui looked at Xiao Jia and the others again, and said: "By the way, as a few of you who participated in this archaeology, it is not difficult for you to stay in school in the future, and you can reconsider the ...... assigned after graduation."
