Chapter 638: The Greatest Archaeological Discovery of the Century (2)
"Yes, this dragon chair is made of pure gold!"
"I didn't expect that there is a large amount of gold hidden in this underground palace!"
"We have really found a big treasure, this underground palace is definitely better than the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor!"
……
The old ghosts immediately cheered.
Only He Qing maintained a calm look, he carefully inspected the "Dragon Chair" he had just discovered, and secretly said in his heart: "It's even more extravagant than the emperor of the Central Plains!" The dragon chair of the Central Plains Emperor is rarely made entirely of gold, right? ”
"Whose mausoleum is this? It's so gorgeous and extravagant! Lin Haitao sighed.
The old ghost analyzed: "I guess it should be the imperial mausoleum of the Central Plains, and it is by no means a mausoleum for ordinary people, nor will it be the mausoleum of the king of the ancient kingdom of Loulan." ”
"Why can't it be the tomb of the king of the Loulan Kingdom?" Lin Haitao asked.
The old ghost replied: "If it is the underground palace of the kings of the Western Regions and other countries, then you shouldn't find the dragon chair in it, this is obviously the kind of dragon chair that the emperor of the Central Plains sat on when he went to the court, even if you haven't been to the North and Beijing Forbidden City, you should have seen it on costume TV." ”
"Yes, you have a point." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement.
Uncle Pang and Brother Xing also nodded one after another, all agreeing with the old ghost's point of view.
"Fallacious, ridiculous!" He Qing laughed coldly on the side, he obviously disagreed with the old ghost's statement and disagreed.
"Wrong? Why? The old ghost raised his head and looked at He Qing, his eyes full of doubt.
Lin Haitao hurriedly asked, "Brother Qing." Do you see something? Whose mausoleum is this underground palace? The ancient country of Loulan is the closest to here, is it possible that it is the tomb of the king of Loulan? But how could there be a dragon chair rich in the culture of the Central Plains in the ancient country of the Western Regions? ”
"Nothing is impossible? Anything is possible. He Qing replied solemnly, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, how can you be sure that this is the mausoleum set up by the Emperor of the Central Plains?" ”
Lin Haitao didn't see it with his own eyes, but he really saw the origin of the "Golden Dragon Chair" in front of him.
He witnessed the ins and outs of it one by one!
So he knew in his heart what was going on.
"Yes...... Oh, yes. The old ghost was stunned and nodded, "What the boss said is very reasonable, none of us have seen the construction of this underground palace with our own eyes, how can we be sure who it belongs to?" Boss, you're well-informed. Expect things like God. Surely you know the truth about this underground palace, right? ”
He Qing said: "This is a palace, but it is not an underground palace, an underground palace. ”
"What?!" As soon as these words came out, Lin Haitao and the old ghost looked at each other. I don't know why. I don't know what the deep meaning of He Qing's words is.
"Brother Qing. You say this isn't an underground palace? Lin Haitao couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, it's not the dungeon!" He Qing replied with certainty.
Lin Haitao then asked again: "But this is obviously buried underground." ”
He Qing said: "Just because it's buried underground now doesn't mean that it has been buried underground in the past. This is in the midst of a rapidly changing desert. After hundreds or even thousands of years of change, it is normal for things that were originally naked and exposed to the surface to be buried deep underground, right? As you have just seen, in the blink of an eye, the place where we parked was buried, and the sand dunes with holes were flattened, which is a natural creation, not what you imagined and guessed. ”
"If it's not an underground palace, what is it?" Lin Haitao asked again, he wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end and find out.
He Qing replied: "I have made it very clear just now, this is not the so-called 'underground palace', but it is a palace, which is inhabited by living people. It's not surprising that we see dragon chairs in the palace, right? ”
"Huh?!" When they heard this, Lin Haitao and the old ghost were even more surprised, this would be a palace where the living lived, not a mausoleum.
"I see!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "No wonder it is built so magnificently and luxuriously, just like the palace we saw!" ”
The old ghost was puzzled: "If it's a real palace, that's not right, could it be that a certain palace in the Central Plains moved to the desert area due to changes in the earth's crust, and then was buried by the sand, becoming what we see now?" ”
Lin Haitao shook his head and denied: "Your statement is untenable, how can the change of crustal displacement be so exaggerated?" I think maybe the palace was built in this place, but a long time ago there were mountains and rivers here, not a desert land, and it became like this after many years, and the decline and fall of the ancient kingdom of Loulan is due to natural deterioration. ”
"Maybe." The old ghost will be suspicious.
For Lin Haitao's explanation, Uncle Pang and they are also a little skeptical, and they dare not believe that there is a Central Plains Dynasty that suddenly evaporated, and then its palace was buried deep underground, becoming like this, there is no record of this in history, if there is really such a thing, it is too bizarre.
"Wrong, wrong!" He Qing shook his head vigorously.
"What's wrong again? What's wrong? Lin Haitao wondered, "Isn't that like that?" Although there is no clear record in the history of the existence and disappearance of this imperial palace, it is not impossible. Maybe it's not really an imperial palace, but a palace like the Imperial Palace. In ancient times, there were many palaces of emperors, and there may have been palaces everywhere, but now what we find is only one of the palaces, and it is a larger one. ”
He Qing smiled: "Then there won't be a palace big enough to build a golden dragon chair, right?" You all subconsciously believe that this is the palace of the Han people, and it cannot be the palace of small countries such as the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions, and your starting point is wrong, so it is impossible to think in the right direction. ”
"It was not a palace built by the emperor of the Han people, but by the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions? Then why do you see the dragon chair? Lin Haitao asked repeatedly.
"You just saw this dragon chair and didn't pay attention to the complete structure of this palace." He Qing said solemnly, "Except for this golden dragon chair, the other places seem to be very different from the Central Plains Imperial Palace, right?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like the style of Western Regions architecture. ”
"Indeed." Lin Haitao shook his flashlight, took a closer look around, and after seeing it clearly, he agreed with He Qing's statement.
The old ghosts also seemed to see something famous, and they all nodded their heads.
"Boss, what's the matter with a dragon chair made of gold in the palace of the Western Regions? What's going on here? How did it come to this? A lot of things here are so well preserved that nothing seems to have changed. The old ghost asked questions, obviously full of curiosity.
He Qing said: "Wouldn't the people of the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Regions make the Golden Dragon Chair? Maybe which king likes Han culture very much and learns from Han people? Although this palace is very different from the palace built by the emperor of the Central Plains on the whole, the subtleties still reveal the atmosphere of Han culture, especially the dragon chair where the emperor sat in the last dynasty. So I deduced that this should be the palace of an ancient country in the Western Regions, which was originally a splendid palace, but due to some fatal reason, it quickly declined and became like this. ”
"What is the reason? Which ancient kingdom of the Western Regions is this? Lin Haitao asked curiously.
The more they listened, the more they felt that what He Qing said was reasonable, and there was no way to refute it.
He Qing smiled bitterly: "The harsh natural environment, as well as all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, what else will there be besides these?" ”
"I see!" The old ghost exclaimed, "The meaning of the boss's words is already very clear, this is the imperial city of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, just like our current capital of China, Bei and Beijing, and the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan that were discovered before are just small towns in the ancient kingdom of Loulan!" Boss, do you think I'm right? ”
"Brother Qing, we ...... We have found the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan that Master Dong said?! Just how is this the case?! Lin Haitao blurted out, very excited.
Only then did he remember the purpose of Dong Ziqing who brought them here before, originally to bring them to find the new ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, who knew that they found nothing, and they didn't see anything, but unexpectedly, an "earthquake" took them to an underground palace and made a huge discovery.
Hearing Lin Haitao mention Dong Ziqing, He Qing glanced at him, as if warning something.
"Who is Master Dong?" The old ghost asked casually.
He Qing said coldly: "What are you doing with so many questions?" It has nothing to do with you! ”
"Brother Qing, is this the capital of the ancient kingdom of Loulan?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, if I guess correctly, this is a major site of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and no one has found it except us." ”
Under Lin Haitao's repeated questioning, he finally told the truth.
Originally, he didn't want to tell this huge secret and let the old ghosts know about it, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for him to keep the secret, anyway, sooner or later it will be revealed and made public.
What's more, they are in a trap at the moment, and it is a big question whether they can get out alive or not, what else is there to hide?
"Oh my God, wouldn't it?!" The old ghost's eyes widened, and he sighed in surprise, "We actually found the real Loulan Ancient City by mistake, the ruins of this ancient city are much larger than those found, what else is there except for the ruins?" And there are splendid palaces, as well as golden dragon chairs! ”
"Yes, this discovery is enough to shock the world, and it is definitely the biggest archaeological discovery of the 21st century!" Uncle Pang sighed in response, "But this is all the credit of the boss, if he didn't have such sharp eyes, how could he have found here?" And how can you see the real situation? ”
Several of them were full of praise for He Qing.
He Qing said: "Don't talk about this yet, let's find the exit first, otherwise it will be useless to make a big discovery!" ”
