Chu Yunqiu looked at the books in his hand, and then cleaned up all the books in the box. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chu Yunqiu counted them, there were thirty-six books in total, some were thin, some were thick, they were like elementary school students' textbooks, and the thick ones were like Xinhua dictionaries.

The words on the books were all in Sanskrit, and Chu Yunqiu couldn't understand it.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Chu Yunqiu knew in his heart that he had not only read it in textbooks, but also been there himself, and knew that there was a scripture cave there, but unfortunately it was looted in the past.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Caves, is located at the west end of the Hexi Corridor, in Gan Province, and the Western Jin Dynasty Datong Yungang Grottoes, Henan Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, Gan Province Tianshui Maijishan Grottoes and called the four major grottoes in China.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes were built in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and went through the stormy construction of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern Dynasties, the Sui, the Tang, the Five Dynasties, the Western Xia, the Yuan and other dynasties, forming a huge scale.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and caves are numerous, there are more than 700, the murals are more than 40,000 square meters, and all kinds of Buddha statues are countless.

It can be said that it is the largest and richest Buddhist art site in the world.

The Tibetan Scripture Cave is undoubtedly one of the most famous places in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.

His cultural value far exceeds his actual value.

The Tibetan Scripture Cave is the common name of the 17 caves of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and does not refer to a single grotto.

The Tibetan Scripture Cave was built in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the shadow cave of the monks of Hexi - Hong Bian.

Later, after the changes of the years, the Tang Dynasty fell, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Western Xia were established, and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang became the land of the Western Xia.

Considering the disaster of the war, the monks of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang sealed all the scriptures, documents, archives and Buddha paintings preserved in the temple in the Tibetan scripture cave, and then built a wall outside and painted murals to cover people's eyes and ears.

Later, because the monks also fled the difficulty of the war, the cave was decadent, and the passage of the cave was blocked by wind and sand, so it was claustrophobic for nearly 800 years.

It was not until the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that the Tibetan scripture cave of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang reappeared.

The Taoist priest of Mogao Grottoes led people to "dredge three layers of cave sand with flowing water", and the secret room appeared in the world, and called it "Tibetan Scripture Cave".

The largest document in the Dunhuang testament was unearthed in the Tibetan scripture cave, which is the icing on the cake for the famous historical and cultural city.

It has become an important source for the study of civilizations from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Middle Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of ancient Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures and secular documents were found in the Tibetan scripture cave, in the secret cave of Dunhuang grottoes, the collection of testamentary books is the most Buddhist classics, as well as astronomy, calendar, history, geography, chronicles, picture scriptures, medical books, folk customs, famous books, account books, poems, songs, dialects, travelogues, miscellaneous writings, study books, regarded as one of the four great discoveries in the history of Chinese culture. The Dunhuang testament is mostly in Chinese, and there are also Tubo, Uighur, and Tangut languages. Mongolian, Sogdian, Turkic, Khotanese, Sanskrit, Tocharian, Hebrew and other ancient national scripts,

The Dunhuang testament is mainly bound in scrolls, and there are various forms such as Sanskrit binding, warp folding, butterfly binding, booklet binding and single page, as well as some rubbing, printing and embroidery books, etc.

The thing in Chu Yunqiu's hand was not anything else, it was a book written in Sanskrit, which was probably a Buddhist scripture, but Chu Yunqiu didn't know it.

I can only wait until I go back and ask an expert to appraise it.

Chu Yunqiu looked at the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes books in his hand, and his heart ached.

Like the Old Summer Palace, the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were also visited by invaders.

Most of the books in the cave were looted.

At that time, Wang Daoshi discovered the cave of the scriptures, but unfortunately, the local rich gentry in Dunhuang did not know the value of these antiquities in the cave, and the corrupt Qing government also failed to protect them, resulting in a large number of Dunhuang testaments and cultural relics in the caves were successively carried away by foreign "expeditions" and scattered all over the world.

The remnants of the robbery were transported to Kyoto by the Qing government and stored in the Kyoto Library.

Later, the murals and statues of the Mogao Grottoes were also looted and destroyed.

Oldenburg led an expedition to Dunhuang and Mogao Grottoes, where he not only collected a large number of Dunhuang manuscripts, but also plundered many murals in one of the caves.

Hundreds of white bandits who were defeated in the Russian civil war fled to the Mogao Grottoes, where they smeared and carved the murals at will, and cooked on the kang in the caves, causing a large number of murals to be smoked by fire.

Warner of the United States once went to the Mogao Grottoes to steal a large area of murals and looted the painted sculptures.

There are 13,677 treasures in England, more than 4,000 in France, more than 2,000 in Russia, and a large number of collections in the United States and Fuso.

・・・・・・

Chu Yunqiu sorted out the thirty-six volumes of Dunhuang relics, and then put them in the bag of treasures.

"Hey, there's a long way to go", Chu Yunqiu sighed silently, there were too many treasures of Huaxia.

Then, Chu Yunqiu looked at the last one.

Chu Yunqiu's brows furrowed, "What is it, is it another famous painting", Chu Yunqiu couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

Chu Yunqiu took it in his hand, and his heart moved, "It's not paper, it's leather", Chu Yunqiu untied the rope on it and spread it out.

A yellowed piece of brown paper falls from inside.

But at this moment, Chu Yunqiu could no longer care about the falling kraft paper, and Chu Yunqiu at this time was completely attracted by the things in front of him.

At this look, Chu Yunqiu's eyes suddenly widened, because the parchment scroll in his hand was nothing else, it was a treasure map.

"・・・・・・" Chu Yunqiu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

On the parchment roll, there are mountains, waters, and forests, and there are also Chinese written on it.

Could it be that the owner of this parchment is still Chinese?

Chu Yunqiu couldn't help but secretly think.

It is a pity that the images and place names on this parchment scroll, he did not know and had never heard of.

Then, Chu Yunqiu picked up the kraft paper, he wanted to see what was written on it.

It turned out that the kraft paper was written with the information and guidance left by the owner of the parchment scroll for future generations.

The message says that his descendants, if they get to see this, it proves that he has died.

The exploration of treasures needs to be explored by themselves.

Because this parchment scroll was snatched by him from a wealthy merchant in China.

He had been looking, but he hadn't thought of it.

Later, because of the war, he had to give up looking for his return to China, and later moved to the United States.

However, the brown paper is not without useful information, after years of searching and probing by the other party, he can determine that the location of the treasure is buried in the northern Hubei generation.

・・・・・・

After reading the above information, Chu Yunqiu looked confused, it turned out to be really a treasure map of Huaxia.

And looking at the meaning of the above, the other party seems to be robbing.

As a result, it was a mistake and fate, and finally fell into the hands of Chu Yunqiu! (To be continued.) )
