Chapter 179: The Cave of the Hidden Scriptures and the Terracotta Army

The Mogao Caves are a very important discovery in the history of Chinese archaeology, most of the unearthed documents are manuscripts, a small number are engraved copies, and about five-sixths of the Chinese texts are written, and the others are ancient Tibetan, Sanskrit, Qilu, Sogdian, Khotanese, Uighur, Qiuzi and so on. The content of the documents is mainly Buddhist scriptures, in addition to Taoist scriptures, Confucian classics, novels, poems, historical books, cadastre, account books, calendars, deeds, letters, pleadings, etc., many of which are unique and unique.

It's a pity that in those years of war, most of them were plundered by foreign countries and scattered all over the world, and many of them were lost and damaged, which was an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of Chinese culture.

This world does not have such a humiliating history, but the war more than 100 years ago has also spread to the country, I wonder if the cave has been discovered, whether it is still intact?

"Brother Boguang, teacher, is there a scripture cave in Mogao Grottoes?" Ye Tang asked, it is better to make sure if the cave has been discovered, it seems that the first person in the world to discover the cave is a Taoist priest surnamed Wang, and he also dug out the small door of the cave when he was cleaning up the sand.

"What scripture cave?" Mr. Shui Qing asked strangely, I haven't heard of any scripture caves in Mogao Grottoes.

Hearing Mr. Shui Qing ask, and looking at Tian Qi's puzzled gaze, Ye Tang suddenly understood, it seems that the scripture cave has not been discovered yet, but he is not sure if there is a scripture cave in this world, so he can only make up a story that he has seen a codex on the stall before, and there is a scripture cave somewhere in Mogao Grottoes. There are countless testaments and Buddhist classics, as well as astronomy, calendars, history, geography, chronicles, diagrams, medical books, folk customs, famous books, account books, poems, songs, dialects, travelogues, miscellaneous writings, study books and other precious books tens of thousands of volumes.

The level of Ye Tang's story compilation is a bit low, and if you look at this codex, you can see that there is a scripture cave in Mogao Grottoes, which is also too ridiculous, but looking at the way he said it, Mr. Shui Qing said with a straight face: "Ziqing, is this true?" "I don't dare to believe it all, and I don't dare not believe it, if according to what he said, there is really a cave in Mogao Grottoes, and there are countless precious classics in the cave. It was definitely a major discovery in the history of Chinese culture.

"This ...... I'm not sure. But the codex does say so, and it also says where the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the terracotta warriors and horses are, and the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang...... You should know, right? Ye Tang asked cautiously, he really didn't care about this problem after coming to this world for so long. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang should have been discovered, right?

"Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors and horses are also recorded? What about the Codex? Mr. Shui Qing stood up suddenly. scared Ye Tang a lot. Isn't it, isn't it true that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors have not been discovered yet?

Ye Tang felt a little painful, he originally gave two examples just to show that there was such a thing as the Hidden Scripture Cave. I didn't expect to bump into it again, it's not scientific.

There must be no codex, Ye Tang finally understood what a lie meant by the sentence that it should be fulfilled with countless lies, and said with a wry smile: "I just glanced at it at the time, and I didn't buy the codex." "It's a day, and I'm about to take myself into the pit.

"How could you not buy it?" Mr. Shui Qing said with some hatred, and was about to blow his beard and glare, "Where is that stall?" Can the Codex be recovered? ”

Mr. Shui Qing is a little anxious, the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang knows, but it is also the approximate location that was determined only the year before last, whether it is really still inconclusive to this day, not to mention the terracotta warriors, almost no one knows.

But Mr. Shui Qing felt that what Ye Tang said was true, and there was no record of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the "Historical Records", but the dignified emperor, the first emperor in the history of China, had no funeral goods to say in the past.

And Mr. Shuiqing once read a wild history, which mentioned that Qin Shi Huang was buried with terracotta warriors and horses, and wanted to be the emperor of the underground world, and countless people in the archaeological community have debated this issue, but in the end, it was all over, and the terracotta warriors and horses were not found, and the "Historical Records" did not record, so he could only laugh at the wild history as a story.

"I guess I can't find it back, I saw it at a stall in my hometown a few years ago, and I can't find anyone anymore." Let's continue to make it up, Ye Tang didn't fold it anymore, but seeing Mr. Shui Qing's look of pity, he said: "But although I can't find the codex, I still remember the location of the Hidden Scripture Cave and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang." ”

I have been to see these two places in that world, and the location of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang will definitely not be wrong, not necessarily the Tibetan Scripture Cave, but it is better to say it and try to find it, maybe it happened to bump into it again.

"Do you really remember?" Mr. Shui Qing became excited again and hurriedly asked.

Ye Tang said: "Yes, I have a lot of impression of these places, but it may not be true, the codex was written by a Captain Touching Jin, teacher, who is this Captain Touching Jin?" ”

Touching the gold captain Ye Tang naturally knew who it was, he had read "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes", but at this time he still had to pretend to be stupid, knowing too much was too abnormal.

"Captain Touch? It's a bunch of grave robbers. "If it is the codex left by Captain Jin, then the matter of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses may really be true, Mr. Shui Qing's eyes became solemn, and he hurriedly grabbed Ye Tang and left, the matter of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mogao Caves is very important, and the location must be immediately marked out and handed over to the government to deal with.

After finding the computer, Mr. Shui Qing asked Ye Tang to point out the location of the Hidden Scripture Cave first, and Mr. Jingqiu was in the Mogao Cave, so he could immediately call him to confirm whether there was really such a cave.

Ye Tang remembered the location of the cave very clearly, found some photos of the Mogao Caves on the Internet, pointed to a cave and said that if it was right, the cave was there, and it should be buried in the sand.

Tian Qi also followed, and after carefully looking at the pictures for a while, he immediately called Mr. Jingqiu, who was originally in Mogao Grottoes, but came back for trivial reasons, and happened to catch up with such a thing.

Tian Qi was shocked by the Tibetan Scripture Cave and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang that Ye Tang said, but he didn't dare to believe it all, but seeing that Mr. Shui Qing was so active, he had to cooperate, and if he could really find the Tibetan Scripture Cave that he said had tens of thousands of scriptures, it would definitely be a big event that shocked the world, Tian Qi actually hoped that this was the truth, and he would also be honored as a witness.

Tian Qi dialed Mr. Jingqiu's phone, Mr. Shui Qing, and Ye Tang all talked to each other, Ye Tang said the longest, and only he knew where he was in which direction, and he had to explain it clearly.

The matter of the Hidden Scripture Cave was told to Mr. Jingqiu, and then he could only wait for the results slowly, and it was estimated that it would take at least an hour or two to get the results.

The matter of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang is also very important, and pulling out the map Ye Tang quickly drew out the approximate direction, which is just east of the location of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, not far away.

The discovery of the terracotta warriors and horses in that world is actually very coincidental, it was discovered by chance when a group of villagers were digging drought-resistant wells, and in this world, the area around the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is basically uninhabited, all are deserted forests, and the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the location that is difficult to determine.

Ye Tang pointed out the location of the Terracotta Warriors, and Mr. Shui Qing also made a phone call immediately, and then took Ye Tang to the Hangzhou Municipal Government non-stop, and the government must be involved in this matter.

Running around didn't even eat a few bites of lunch, but Mr. Shui Qing, Tian Qi and Ye Tang didn't feel hungry, but were extremely energetic, because when they arrived at the Hangzhou Municipal Government, they received a message from Mr. Jingqiu that the Hidden Scripture Cave had been found.

The cave is indeed buried under the sand, and as Ye Tang said, there are countless classics, scriptures, Buddha paintings, etc., all piled up into a mountain, and the specific number needs to be sorted out before it can be known, but thirty or forty thousand pieces are certain.

Mr. Shui Qing was very excited, Tian Qi was also very excited, there was a cave in the Tibetan scriptures, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang were estimated to be true, and after finding the government officials, he reported the matter of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

Because of Mr. Shui Qing's identity, the officials who received him did not dare to be careless, and immediately reported it layer by layer, and finally the mayor came over in person, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang could not care, but Mr. Shui Qing had to be cautious when he came.

It was already two hours after he came out of the government building, and Ye Tang said all the locations he knew, so that he could excavate the terracotta warriors, of course, he didn't say it in such detail, it was impossible to say how many terracotta warriors and horses there were, how big the burial pit was, and he still knew the truth that if he said more, he would lose.

Besides, a codex made up by Hu can't record so many things, how much can a captain who touches gold know so much? It's obviously impossible, let those archaeologists dig slowly, and they will know how big it is when they dig it out, of course, they will be shocked by the time, and the eighth wonder of the world is not blown out.

"Ziqing, how big a pit will there be in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang? Does the Codex say it? Isn't it a bit too big for you to point to so many places? Walking outside, Mr. Shui Qing said a little uneasy, it is estimated that it is impossible to release the empty cannon, but the range he drew is very large, if a few terracotta warriors and horses are excavated, it will be a big joke.

"There is no record in the specific codex, it just says that there are terracotta warriors and horses in those places, and I have drawn the scope casually, not that there is such a big pit." Ye Tang said with a smile, it seems that Mr. Shui Qing is a little bottomless.

"But it is estimated that the pit should not be small, Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor of the ages, and the terracotta warriors and horses are his army in the underground world, so the number will definitely not be small, don't worry, teacher." Ye Tang said again, when he went to see the Terracotta Warriors, he was shocked, and he didn't have to worry about this problem at all.

Mr. Shui Qing didn't ask anymore, and he felt that he was asking a bit redundant, it would be good to find the Terracotta Warriors, what do you care about so much? Even if there are only a few terracotta warriors and horses, they are also the burial goods of Qin Shi Huang, and from another aspect, it also confirms that the wild history also has a certain degree of correctness, which is enough.
