It is like a huge excavation site, and a ring of high-light searchlights lights light up the place as if it were day.

The ground is tamped loess, filled with large and small skeletons of creatures, some of which can be put together in one piece, and some of which are scattered to the side.

Li Bing walked past a giant skeleton, and when he touched it, the bones had become fossils.

He asked, "Are these dinosaur bones?"

The uncle pointed to the distance and said, "Look over there, do you have any impression?"

Looking at the sound, the bones of a giant creature dozens of meters long stood in the distance, with a pair of huge wings stuck in their shoulders, posing in the form of soaring into the air and roaring into the sky.

Li Bing said: "Extremely poor! Are all these bones dug up here? ”

The uncle took off his glasses and gently stroked the fossils like his own children.

"Every skeleton has a story to tell," he said. Twenty years ago, I conducted archaeological excavations on the southern edge of the Tarim Basin, in a place called Kuyikma in Hotan County. ”

Li Bing said: "Is it an inverted bucket?"

My uncle said, "We are a regular army!"

Li Bing said, "You are a history professor, how can you follow to archaeology?"

My uncle said, "Can history and archaeology be separated?" This question stopped Li Bing, and he had to shake his head and say, "I don't understand this."

My uncle said, "Let me ask you, what is the most difficult thing in history?" It's innovation! Many people think that the 24th History Society is a historian, but it is just gnawing on the leftover steamed buns chewed by the predecessors, and it is gnawing on the old! Research to research, research to study, history or that history, what new results can be achieved? ”

Li Bing said: "You mean to create a new history?"

My uncle said, "As I said, history is there, some of it has been recorded, some of it has been concealed and forgotten, and I just want to find out these unknown histories and write them down." But how do you write it? I can't just think about it, so I followed the archaeological team to find first-hand information in the ruins, I traveled all over the country, and finally found them one day 20 years ago.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Hetian jade has been excavated in an endless stream to circulate to the Central Plains, and the beautiful jade is accompanied by a kind of thing called jade bone, this kind of stone its original form has been unexaminable, but after decomposition and polishing, although it is not as translucent and bright as Hetian jade, it is still taken to the market by merchants to sell, after all, it is gradually scarce because it is not recognized by the market. That year, I got such a piece at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Antique Market, and after careful research, I found that it was not jade, but a fossil of an animal. ”

Li Bing said, "Are these fossils?"

Uncle said: "Not all, the key question is that there have never been reports of vertebrate fossils found in the Hotan area, so where did these stones come from?" What kind of animals are they? Later, the Neolithic tribal ruins were discovered in that place, and I followed the archaeological team to explore, and this time, I discovered a shocking secret. We explored a burial ground of primitive humans, and in order to solve the mystery of the burial culture at that time, we searched all the way along the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, and found some animal fossils in a burial pit. And these animals are not domesticated domestic animals, but some strange species, we compare and restore them on the spot, and find that these creatures are very likely to be the strange beasts recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas. Tens of thousands of years ago, at that time, human beings were still drinking blood and not covered with clothes, how could they use divine beasts as burial objects? With such questions, I stayed in Kunlun Mountain for eight years, and I finally understood that ancient myths are not legends, but do exist. It was a world where man and God coexisted. ”

Li Bing asked, "Why aren't these results published?"

Uncle said: "Some studies can be published, and some can't, and I think you understand the reason why you can only be secretly sealed without comprehensive evidence." It wasn't until five years ago that I found a giant tripod in a tomb in the Central Plains, and it was impossible for such a huge tripod to be done. The inscription on it is a completely unknown script. In order to figure out the meaning of these words, I studied them for several years. The inscriptions record many ancient myths and also prophesy visions of the same day as the Ten Days. Many of these clues point directly to Kunlun Mountain, and the solution to all of this exists in a long-lost classic, called "Shaking the Dragon". I calculated the days of the same day on the tenth day according to the guidance in the book, as well as the treasure buried under the Xijing City, and the person who can take it out is you! ”

Li Bing said, "How is it written about me in the book?"

My uncle said: "The book only records the method of deduction and some proverbs, which I calculated myself."

Li Bing said: "I have seen the I Ching in your study before, and it turns out that you also have attainments in this area."

Uncle said: "From now on, there will be no more secrets between us, but this matter will be kept secret from you and my family." Our Shao family is the descendants of the Shao Kang Festival in the Song Dynasty. Incognito for hundreds of years, until my generation has no children under his knees, the revival of the family business is on you! ”

Li Bing said: "Honest and fearful, it is difficult to take responsibility."

Uncle said: "You have to do it whether you want to be it or not, and there are some reasons that you can't choose."

Li Bing said: "My qualifications are too poor."

Uncle said: "You have no problem with your qualifications, but you have chosen the wrong path." When you took the college entrance examination, I repeatedly persuaded your mother to let you go to liberal arts, but she still let you study engineering, saying that you have money and leisure to study history, and you still have to rely on mathematics, physics and chemistry to support your family, do you think she is right? ”

Li Bing shook his head and said, "I don't like engineering, I basically skip classes in college." What I love most most in my heart is history! ”

Uncle said: "Your words make me very pleased, these days you are here to study the twenty-four history, as for "Plum Blossom Easy Counting" and "Shaking the Dragon Jue" I will teach you later."

Li Bing asked: "The owner of the tomb that fell this time is the hidden prince, is it really as engraved on the coffin, and there is another hidden story in the change of Xuanwu Gate?"

Uncle said: "You're right, I've searched all over the world and abroad for information on the changes in Xuanwumen in the past few years, and I've got many unexpected clues.

Li Bing said, "What are you waiting for? Why not open it now? ”

My uncle said, "I have to wait for a phone call."

They returned the same way, Li Bing's heart was extremely complicated, his uncle was a history professor at a famous university in Xijing, he had studied the 24th history for more than 30 years, he was particularly proficient in Tang history, and published countless papers.

My uncle said: "History is not, it is not a deduction or a story, it is the inheritance of historians from generation to generation, and it is the duty of a scholar to explore and examine the unknown and questions for future generations."
