Chapter 1213: The Sacred 'Sulu Ingot'

……

The Mongolian word for Sulu ingot means "spear", which is the symbol of Mongolia and the symbol of the god of war, and is also translated as "Suled, Sulide". Generally, it is black and white, called "Harasulu ingots" and "Chagansulu ingots" respectively, which means "black" and "white", black symbolizes war and strength, and white symbolizes peace and authority.

According to the rotation record of Yelu Chucai, when Temujin was born in the seventh lunar month of 1162 AD, he held a piece of fetal blood in his hand, and when he broke it, he found that it was a diamond-shaped pattern with two pointed ends. Later generations said that Genghis Khan was born with a "Sulu ingot" in his hand, and was a hero sent by God to save the Mongolian nation, and "Temujin" means the change of iron.

Legend has it that the Sulu ingot symbolizes the divine object of the success of Genghis Khan's blessing given by the heavens, and is the battle flag of the Mongolian army under the command of Genghis Khan, the patron saint of the Mongolian nation, and a symbol of invincibility.

Later, Yelu Chucai, the first adviser of the Golden Horde, who came to Mongolia from the Jin Kingdom, sent captured Russian skilled craftsmen to create a marker according to this pattern, named Sulu ingot, which was placed on the top of Genghis Khan's Golden Horde, and served as the military flag and military emblem of the Mongolian army. From then on, Sulu ingot represented the god of war, Genghis Khan, and supremacy.

Therefore, the Sulu ingot has been transformed from a legend into a tangible sacred relic representing the domination and divine power of Mongolia.

Although the Sulu Ingot has a strong representation of power, it is really just a spear-like object similar to an ancient weapon!

However, compared with the ancient war spears, the Sulu ingot is special in that the chisel part of the base of the spear body forms a disc, and there are 81 perforations around the rim of the disk.

These perforations are used to tie horsehair as drapes, and then fasten to pine and cypress poles and stand on stone turtle pedestals, showing the majesty of the sacred.

However, at this moment, Liu Dong saw only the upper half of the Sulu ingot. That is, three sharp spear tips, and a disc at the base. The 81 piercings around the disc are still there, but the hanging tassels are gone.

Liu Dong did not find any traces of the decay of the horsehair in the box, apparently it was when he was buried, and the Sulu ingot was the shape that Liu Dong saw now.

Liu Dong carefully regarded this piece as important to the Mongols as no less important than the 'Jade Seal of the Country' and the 'Yuwang Jiuding' and the status of the Han dynasty. The sacred relics, which represent the embodiment of divine power and imperial power, are held in their hands and carefully examined.

To Liu Dong's surprise, the material of this Sulu ingot was not the gold he originally thought, but a material that Liu Dong had never seen before. And the texture of this material is extremely hard, no worse than today's special steel.

But it's understandable. After all, the Sulu ingot is in the legend, but the war spear in the hands of Genghis Khan, as a weapon, is hard and sharp.

But later, the significance of the Sulu ingot weapon weakened. The status of the symbol of imperial power and divine power became prominent. Therefore, its surface was gilded with a layer of gold, and finally became the state that Liu Dong sees now.

In addition to the material, Liu Dong also saw a line of text on the base of the Sulu ingot.

This script is the earliest Mongolian script - 'Uighur Mongolian script'!

In 1204, the Mongols destroyed the barbarian tribe, and captured the barbarian division, the Tata Tonga, who was afraid of the Vultures. Because of his deep knowledge of the Uighur script, Temujin ordered him to create the Mongolian script. The early Mongolian script was very similar to the Uighur script, and some of the principles of orthography were derived directly from the Uighur script. Therefore, it is often referred to in academic circles as "Uighur Mongolian".

Later, after Kublai Khan formally established the Yuan Dynasty, he ordered the Meng Yuan Emperor. The character of the Eight Si Pa created by the leader of the Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism!

Because this script had to match the huge territory of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian script of the Phags-pa had the characteristics of more than a dozen scripts such as Mongolian, Han, Tibetan, Uighur, Sanskrit, and Persian.

However, both the Uighur Mongolian script and the Phags-pa Mongolian script are a thing of the past. The current Mongolian script is a combination of the Russian alphabet to create the Kirill Mongolian script, which is also called the new Mongolian script in China.

For the new Mongolian language. Even the Mongolian characters of Ba Si Pa, Liu Dong knows it very well. However, for the earliest Uighur Mongolian characters, because too much time has passed, and there is not much literature, the time for application is also short. So Liu Dong doesn't know much.

After holding the Sulu ingot in his hand and studying it for a long time, combined with the Mongolian characters he knew, he guessed that the text on the base of the Sulu ingot should be roughly content: Immortal Heaven bestows the greatest hero under the sun, the invincible Great Mongolian Khan 'Er's only Jin * Temujin'!

Of course, whether this is the case or not, it is necessary to consult those scholars who really study Uighur Mongolian. But Liu Dong believes that even if there will be a difference in the end, it will not be too big.

Because there was not much time, Liu Dong briefly admired the 'Sulu ingot' in his hand, which represented the Mongolian imperial power of the Yuan Dynasty, and then put it into the mustard seed space, and then touched the place where the right foot of Yuan Zhaozong's corpse was, and soon a seal included in the yellow dragon silk appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.

This is a typical Han style of Panlong button jade seal style seal.

Identified from the two lines of Han and Mongolian characters engraved at the bottom, this is exactly the identity seal of Yuan Zhaozong's '孛子 only jin, love you know Litra'! It is the same as the burial system of many Han and Tang tombs in the past, after the owner was buried, he would accompany the burial of the seal representing his identity.

Obviously, since Kublai Khan, more than a dozen emperors of the Yuan Dynasty have been sinicized!

In addition to the 'Sulu ingot' representing the imperial power and the seal representing the identity, there were also many priceless treasures that seemed unimportant at the time, but were priceless in Liu Dong's eyes.

Like the top mutton fat jade pendant hanging on the waist of the corpse, at first glance it is the top craftsmanship of the royal craftsmen of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is almost the top existence of jade carving antiques.

There is also the war knife on the right side of the deceased's arm, which is completely made of ancient rare saro iron, that is, meteoric iron, which is sharp and strong. From the Mongolian inscription engraved on it, it is understood that it is the portable sword of Yuan Zhaozong's '孛儿 only jin, love you know Litra'.

One after another cherished antiques were simply cleaned up from the coffin by Liu Dong and put into his mustard seed space.

After finally putting the 'Woven Gold Brocade' imperial clothes and gold mask worn on Yuan Zhaozong's body into the mustard seed space, he looked at the white bones lying quietly in the coffin, and said to himself: "Since I took your things and received your benefits, I will also help you, so that you will not be disturbed, and sleep here quietly!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Dong jumped off the coffin bed, and with a wave of his hand, the coffin coffin board that was originally put into the mustard seed space fell down again with a 'bang', and the coffin was sealed tightly again.

Then he used the relics to temporarily put away the entire coffin bed, and then dug a space enough to accommodate the coffin under the coffin bed, and Liu Dong put it back in. Finally, after the coffin bed was restored to its original state, unless someone had the same ability as Liu Dong, no one would find the real coffin of the tomb owner!

"Hey, you're coming pretty fast!"

Liu Dong's heart moved, and he stopped the steps that were about to open the two coffins of the concubines next to him.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong directly used the relics Yuanguang to put the two concubine coffins into the mustard seed space, and then exited the back room along the same road.

Of course, he didn't leave just now, just now he was curious about the burial goods in the main burial chamber, and rushed all the way over, and the eight or nine ear chambers in the middle haven't been seen yet. And even if the things that accompany the burial inside are not as precious as the main burial chamber, you can't miss it if you come to visit.

"Let's let them eat the dog first!"

With a move in his heart, Liu Dong used the relics to 'buckle' a boulder directly from the stone wall of the tomb next to him, blocking the main tomb road leading to the back room, and began to busy his own affairs.

With the existence of relics Yuanguang, he is not afraid that these people will find him.

……

"Boom......!"

The tomb door, tall and sturdy, entirely cast of granite stone, was pushed from the outside with great force.

With a piercing roar, a large cloud of dust on the floor of the burial chamber was shaken, giving the illusion of being in the billowing dust.

"Phew......!"

Accompanied by the snow-white and dazzling lights, breaking the silence of nearly a thousand years in the silent ancient tomb, several figures waved their arms, spat out the mud and sand in their mouths and noses, and stepped on the collapsed tomb door.

The first one was the restaurant owner that Liu Dong knew when he first arrived in Bayan and Lin. But at the moment he was no longer dressed as a Mongolian in a robe and a felt hat. Instead, he has a miner's lamp on his head, a hard-wearing black canvas suit, a rope around his waist, a slightly worn cowhide backpack behind his back, and high-waisted black leather boots on his feet. Holding a steel drill in both hands, it was evident that it had helped a lot when the tomb door was violently opened just now.

And the one who came in after him was not the 'shopkeeper' that Liu Dong had seen, but a blonde white man in his forties, with a thin face, narrow eyes, and a somewhat cruel expression in his expression.

"Mr. Sirus, it looks like we've found it?"

Looking at the wide tomb passage and the darkness that seemed to illuminate the tomb, the 'shopkeeper' looked excited.

"That's right, Zhang! Judging by the size of this tomb, if it is not the tomb of Genghis Khan, it must be the tomb of an emperor during the Yuan Dynasty or the Mongol period. The funeral goods inside are enough to make a fortune for all of us here!"

"And what are we waiting for?" said a tall black man standing behind Sirus, equally excited.

Money, but it's a good thing. All need it.

Hearing this, after Sirus and the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang looked at each other and smiled, the former waved his hand, "Gomez, look at the dots, don't step on our 'dollar'!"

"Haha, of course!"

After smiling presumptuously, the black man took the micro rush behind his back into his hand, and walked cautiously towards the depths of the tomb.

It can be seen from his movements that although this one seems reckless, he is still very cautious in his heart. (To be continued.) )
