In a small building with an ordinary appearance in the western suburbs of Beijing, Zhao Yong led Tang Feng and Liang Yuan into a secret room with thick curtains, in the secret room, in addition to Han Jiang, there was also a white-haired old gentleman sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him and Liang Yuan with kind eyes, and another man was about the same age as Han Jiang, holding a pipe in his hand, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looking like a scholar.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan sat down, and Han Jiang spoke: "Everyone here is my own people, so I'll say it directly, first of all, on behalf of the headquarters, I would like to thank Miss Liang Yuan and Mr. Liang Yongquan for dedicating the precious Xixia inlaid jewels wrapped with lotus pattern jade interstitial, please rest assured that after this matter is over, the jade interstitial screen will be returned to Zhao, in addition, with the special approval of the headquarters, you are allowed to participate in our action." ”

"Oh! Captain Han, really? Liang Yuan couldn't believe it.

Han Jiang nodded solemnly, "Yes, Miss Liang, you heard it right, although you are not an official member of Old K, I already regard you as one of us." ”

"Hehe, Tang Feng doesn't want me to join, he always goes against me!" As he spoke, Liang Yuan glanced at Tang Feng, who shook his head helplessly, causing everyone to laugh.

After laughing, Han Jiang pointed to the white-haired old gentleman and said to Tang Feng and Liang Yuan: "Let me introduce to you, this is the famous historian Professor Luo Zhongping, Professor Luo has devoted himself to studying the history of the Western Xia for many years, and has been in-depth investigation and research in the hometown of the Western Xia for many years, and is an authority on the study of the Western Xia in China. ”

"I have heard Mr. Daming's name for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to listen to Mr. in person." Tang Feng once had a one-sided acquaintance with Professor Luo, but he never had the opportunity to have a deep friendship.

Professor Luo smiled: "Young man, I admire your talent very much, and I often see your masterpieces in academic journals. ”

"Sir is overrated."

"Don't be polite, Tang Feng, don't you know yet, Professor Luo is also a member of our old K." Han Jiang introduced Tang Feng.

Tang Feng was very shocked when he heard this, Luo Zhongping nodded: "Yes, I am K4, Captain Han is driving a donkey to the shelf, and he dragged my old bones here." After speaking, Professor Luo turned to look at Liang Yuan and said, "Yuanyuan, I have been your grandfather's friend for many years, and I am very sad about your grandfather's murder, you have to believe that Captain Han will definitely be able to catch the murderer, and we will definitely be able to solve the mystery shrouded in the jade interstitial." Liang Yuan had tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously.

At this time, Han Jiang introduced: "Professor Luo has studied ancient and modern, not only has a good study of history and paleography, but also is proficient in several foreign languages. ”

Professor Luo looked at the people present, then took out those confidential documents, and began to introduce: "These Russian archives you brought back are really incomprehensible, these are all documents with a high level of confidentiality, I don't know how these documents flowed into China, but it is really important, it is very helpful for us to crack the secret behind the jade interstitial, I checked all the documents, most of the documents are some Soviet scholars studying the history of Western Xia, and there are some general documents, but there is one document that is very important." With that, Professor Luo showed everyone the top-secret documents of the KGB.

Everyone's eyes focused on the top-secret document in Professor Luo's hand, Professor Luo helped his reading glasses and opened the top-secret document with three black Russian letters printed on the cover...... "This top-secret document of the KGB is actually seven top-secret letters. ”

"Seven top-secret letters?" The crowd was puzzled.

Professor Luo's face was solemn and began to interpret the seven top-secret letters: "I have translated these seven letters into Chinese, let's take a look at them, and then return them for unified custody after reading them." ”

2

The first was a letter from the famous Soviet sinologist Alexei Ivanovich Ivanov to Beria (Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria), the head of the Soviet secret police at that time, in 1938.

Comrade Lavrenty Pavlovich:

Allow me to address you as such, I have been thinking about the accusations against me against you and your subordinates these days, and for decades, whether at home or abroad, I have done my best to serve my country loyally, and I have never done anything detrimental to the country and its people, so I have never been able to accept the accusations made against me by you and your subordinates.

If there is anything I have done wrong over the years, then what reminds me of the fact that I have concealed one of my research results from you and the country, and the reason why I have concealed this research result from the country is because I am so shocked by the results of this research that I don't know whether I should make it public until I have reached a final conclusion! However, now that I have made up my mind, I have decided to "confess" to you, because once I die, the results of this research will no longer be known, and even if I die, I will not be able to see it.

The result of this research is about the secret hidden in a Hermitage treasure, which, of course, does not come from the Hermitage, but from the far East. More than 900 years ago, in western China, there was a party founded by the Xiang people, advocating the white empire, the Han people called this empire "Western Xia", the Mongols called this country "Tang Wuti", this white empire flourished in Chinese history, until 1227 A.D. was killed by Genghis Khan, since then, everything about this white empire, has disappeared silently in the long yellow sand, as if there has never been such an empire in the world.

Hundreds of years later, when the world has completely forgotten this white empire, China's famous explorer Koznov conducted an expedition in western China, unexpectedly discovered a long time by the yellow sand annihilation of the ancient city of Xixia - Heicheng, in this ancient city, Koznov found a large number of precious Xixia documents and Buddha statues and other cultural relics, among them, there is a very precious Xixia cultural relics, its name is called "inlaid jewels wrapped in lotus pattern jade interstitial", this treasure has been unknown for a long time, sleeping in the cultural relics warehouse of the Winter Palace, Just like Kozlov's accidental discovery of the Black City, by chance, I found this treasure that Koznov brought back from the Black City in the Winter Palace...... However, just when my research was at a critical juncture, you were sent to prison.

I do not ask you to be free, but I ask you to consider my request, and no matter how great my sins may be, please allow me to continue my research and reveal this amazing secret. I hope that you will seriously consider my suggestion, after all, it is good for you and our country, and it is also my last wish.

A. I. Ivanov

After everyone read the first letter, Professor Luo looked at everyone and said: "Yi Fengge is a famous Russian sinologist, has been to China many times, he once in Koznov excavated from the Black City of the Tangut literature, found a "Fan Han Heshi Palm Pearl", this is a Tangut and Chinese bilingual dictionary, it is the discovery of this dictionary, for later generations to interpret the lost Tangut script has created conditions, it can also be said that Yi Fengge is the first scholar in the academic world to understand the ancient Tangut script. From this letter, it can be seen that in 1938, Yifeng Pavilion was already in prison, when his research on the Xixia jade interstitial was at a critical moment, and he did not want to give up his research, so he wrote this letter to Beria, the head of the secret police, in prison, mentioning the jade interpolation and the research he had conducted, and hoped to regain his freedom and continue his research. ”

"And then Beria agreed to his request?" Liang Yuan was a little impatient.

Professor Luo said unhurriedly: "Then we have to read the second letter." ”

3

The second was a reply from Beria to Ihokaku half a month later in 1938

Alexey Ivanovich Ivanov:

I have read your letters to me, and I admire your profound knowledge, especially the so-called study of the "White Empire" of ancient China. But I want to tell you unequivocally that I am not interested in your research, and I am sure that our country will not be interested in it in the slightest, that the whole Soviet state, is going through a vigorous campaign, that your historical research is of no benefit to us, that we need the future, a completely new future, and not your distant antiquity! Wake up, Alek, you can only get a chance for leniency if you reflect on your crimes and confess to the people, and there is no other way! Don't expect to make up some bizarre history of the East in exchange for freedom! Well, so be it, I don't want to waste any more time on you and your boring research, because there is more work waiting for me, I feel the urgency of time, and you, there won't be much time left, I hope you are doing it yourself.

La Pa Beria

From the second letter, it can be seen that Beria was in a high position at that time, and he looked domineering, he was not interested in Yi Feng Ge's research, and he did not believe in the so-called research results that Yi Feng Ge said, of course, he would not approve him to continue his research, and he even thought that Yi Feng Ge had made up some oriental secrets in order to survive. As for whether Beria changed his mind in the future, and whether Yi Fengge wrote to Belial again, we don't know, because there was no information about this after that. Tang Feng took the lead in reading the second letter.

Professor Luo Zhongping nodded and said: "Yes, these two letters are completely in line with what I know, as far as I know, Yi Fengge and his most proud student Nie Lishan both died in that 'Great Purge', about 1938, because of the death of Yi Fengge and others, after that, the Soviet research on the documents and cultural relics of the Western Xia Black City was put on hold for a while, and then World War II broke out, and no one studied those Western Xia documents and cultural relics, I speculate that the Western Xia jade insert should have been lying in the cultural relics warehouse of the Winter Palace since then." ”

"Then how can there be that joint scientific expedition team? It must have been someone who started to study the Xixia jade interstitial screen again. Tang Feng speculated.

Professor Luo nodded and said: "Tang Feng, you are right, later someone discovered this Xixia jade interstitial screen, and started to study again, this person is Meng Lev, who will become a new generation of Sinology masters in the future, he was only in his twenties that year, and he was studying at Leningrad University, his teacher was Alik, a leading figure in the Soviet Sinology circle at that time, and it was their discovery and efforts that led to the later joint scientific expedition team, and we will continue to read the third letter." ”

The third is a letter written in 1951 by Menlev (Lev Nikolayevich Menshikov), who later became a famous master of Sinology, to his teacher, the famous sinologist Alek (Vasily Mikhailovich Alekseev).

Hello dear teachers,

As I write this, I can clearly feel my hands shaking, don't worry, it's not because of my health, but because of the shocking discovery I made yesterday in the Winter Palace, which has kept me excited.

Last week, Misha and I followed your instructions to study at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences, and when we were looking through the complicated research materials of the Institute, Misha unexpectedly found some research materials written by Yifeng Pavilion in the twenties and thirties, you know, it is a boring and painful thing to check the information, but this research material of Yifeng Pavilion made me and Misha feel extremely excited and excited, in this information, Yifengge mentioned that at the end of the twenties, he accidentally found a treasure from the Xixia Dynasty in China in the Winter Palace, The name of this treasure is "Xixia Inlaid Jewels Wrapped in Lotus Pattern Jade Interstitial". According to Yi Feng Ge, there are many strange symbols engraved on this jade interstitial, Yi Fengge after a long period of research on this jade interlude, judged that those strange symbols on the jade interstitial screen are the long-lost Western Xia characters, and identified some of the Western Xia characters on it, by deciphering these Western Xia characters, he found that there is an amazing secret hidden behind this Western Xia treasure, but unfortunately, Yi Fengge later died in prison and could not continue to complete his research.

Seeing this, Misha and I couldn't wait any longer, we immediately rushed to the Winter Palace, in the vast cultural relics warehouse of the Winter Palace, we finally found the Xixia jade interstitial, when I opened the red sandalwood box containing the jade interstitial, I was shocked, this is a beautiful treasure that I have never seen, I don't know what other words can describe my feeling at that time, the jade interstitial screen is made of a whole piece of fine Xinjiang Hetian mutton fat white jade, the edge of the jade interstitial screen, carved two circles of lotus pattern, wrapped around the green interstitial, two circles of lotus pattern in the middle, inlaid with a row of jewels, this jade insert alone is already worth a fortune! However, Misha's interest and I were not here, I saw those strange symbols on the jade interstitial, that may be the extinct Western Xia script that Yifeng Ge said, although the symbols on it, Misha and I don't know any of them, but we both feel that those symbols that no one knows must contain amazing secrets, as Yi Fengge said.

Misha and I decided to continue to study this Xixia jade interstitial in the Winter Palace, and to write a thesis on this topic, attaching two photos of the Xixia jade interstitial in the letter, hoping to get help and guidance from the teacher.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Your students

After reading the third letter, everyone in the secret room did not speak, and they directly opened the fourth letter.

Fourth, Alec's reply to Monlev in 1951

Dear Lev Nikolayevich,

I'm glad to hear from you while I'm sick, no! I know that it is too boring for young people of your age to bury their heads in archives, books, and materials all day long to engage in research, especially the study of ancient and distant oriental civilizations, but, young man, please believe in my vision, I will not mistake you, you are talented in this area, as long as you can persevere, I believe that you will be able to replace me in the future and surpass me.

I am very glad to see that you have become interested in the civilization of the Western Xia, you know, because of Koznov's astonishing discovery in Heicheng, China in 1909, our country has a large number of documents, materials, and cultural relics that study the history and culture of the Western Xia first-hand, and even in China, the hometown of this civilization, it is impossible to have so many first-hand information, so the Tangut civilization is in China, and the study of Tangut studies is with us. But unfortunately, since the death of Yi Fengge, our research on the Tangut civilization has been interrupted, and we are now in dire need of young scholars like you to conduct relevant research and one day carry forward the Tangut studies.

As for the treasure mentioned in your letter, in the early years, Yi Fengge had mentioned it to me, but later with his departure, this treasure was gradually forgotten by people, if it weren't for your reminder, I might not have remembered this treasure until I died, with my years of experience and intuition, I can tell you for sure that you and Misha are very important to the study of this Xixia jade interstitial, through your description in the letter, as well as these two photos, I am sure that this Xixia jade interstitial is not only valuable, but also significant, I don't know what amazing secrets it hides yet, but I believe in Yi Fengge's academic level, he has studied this treasure for many years, and he still thinks about it until his death, so he must have made some important discovery.

I am writing this, looking forward to meeting you and Misha, and seeing that Xixia treasure with my own eyes, and finally complaining to you, the smell of the hospital is too bad, and the doctors here are also very annoying, I really hope to go out as soon as possible and work with you.

By the way, I suddenly remembered a few lines of poetry, if I remember correctly, it should be like this: 'The barren waters of the black head stone room, the white high river of the red face father, the country of the medicine people in Changmi' (written in Chinese). At the end of the thirties, that is, before Yi Fengge was arrested, he sent me a letter, in which Yi Fengge was very excited, saying that he had made a major breakthrough in the study of Western Xia, but he did not say that he had made any breakthroughs, but at the end he wrote these few lines in Chinese without a head, and my research interest at that time was not in Western Xia, so I did not delve into it. Unexpectedly, the news of Yi Fengge's arrest came later, and that letter became his last letter to me, so in the next few years, I would often find this letter to read, and after a long time, I memorized the few lines of poetry he wrote in Chinese, but I did not understand the meaning of these poems. Later the letter was lost in the Great Patriotic War, what a pity! I hope these lines will be helpful to your research.

V.M. Alekseev

After reading this letter, Tang Feng said: "The third and fourth letters show that after World War II, the research materials of the Xixia jade interstitial screen and Yifeng Pavilion once again attracted the attention of Soviet scholars such as Alek and Menlev, and they must have carried out fruitful research in this regard. ”

Professor Luo Zhongping took reading glasses, stared at the two letters that had been translated, pondered for a long time, and then said: "The key depends on how many Yifeng Pavilion research materials Alec and Meng Lev have found, judging from the content of the letter, Yi Feng Pavilion should be the person closest to the mystery so far, so if the research materials of Yi Feng Pavilion are still there, then it will be of great help to Meng Lev's research later, but in the chaotic era of the thirties, many scholars' research materials were discarded, I speculate, It is possible that Menlev only found part of the information of Yifeng Pavilion, and as for their later research, it is not very clear what results they have achieved. However, those few lines of poetry ......"

"Yes! What do those lines of poetry mean? Tang Feng asked.

Professor Luo said: "Those few lines of poetry must be crucial, but I still need to study further. ”

"Have you noticed that in both letters, there is a man named 'Misha', who is this person?" Zhao Yong asked Professor Luo puzzled.

Professor Luo shook his head and explained: "According to the Russian habit of calling, 'Misha' is obviously not that person's big name, but just a friendly 'nickname' between friends and acquaintances, so I can't tell who this person is, but judging from the content of the two letters, this Misha should be Menlev's classmate, and it was they who found the jade insert in the Winter Palace together......"

"Let's read the fifth letter!" Before Professor Luo finished speaking, Liang Yuan couldn't wait to open the fifth letter.

The fifth, Letter from Suslov (Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov), the leader of the Soviet Union in charge of culture and ideology, to Alek, 1951

Dear Comrade Vasily Mikhailovich,

The day before yesterday, two of your students told me in person about the results of their recent research, and I beg your pardon for knowing very little about history, especially about the civilizations of the Far East, which I have never dabbled in, but recently, the Far East is undergoing a tremendous change, and this change, which we are glad of, is also creating the necessary conditions for you and your students to go to China for a field trip.

Although I fully understand the urgency of your and your students' visit to China, and the great research value it contains, I still regret to inform you that your and your students' request is not feasible at this time, at least recently, and this is the final reply of the Central Committee, and I am very sorry!

You know that there is a terrible war going on in the Far East at present, and our enemies and the enemies of the new Chinese regime are trying their best to stop the process of China's liberation and construction, and the area where you are going is rampant with banditry, the natural conditions are extremely harsh, and it is more likely to be sabotaged by foreign hostile forces.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

M.A. Suslov

"From this letter, it can be seen that in order to further uncover the secret of the jade interpolation, Alec and Menlev and others put forward a request to the authorities to come to China for field investigation, from which I speculate that their research must have made great progress, so they rushed to China for field investigation, but from this letter, it can be seen that the authorities did not agree to their request, at least not in 1951." Tang Feng spoke first after reading the letter.

Zhao Yong continued: "The 'a terrible war is going on in the Far East' mentioned in the letter should refer to the Korean War, which coincides with the time when the letter was written, and the northwest region was indeed very unstable at that time, and for security reasons, the Soviet authorities rejected the proposal of Alek and others. ”

"Hehe, the authorities rejected the proposal of Alek and others, I don't think it's because of any security factors, it's mostly Alec and Menlev's research, or it hasn't impressed those bigwigs at the top, without enough evidence, they won't believe Alec and Menlev's proposal at all, just the fantasies of those intellectuals, but if there is enough evidence to make the authorities believe, they must go to the field to investigate, so things are stuck here." Professor Luo Zhongping expressed his views.

"Then after that, did Alec come to China or not?" Liang Yuan asked Professor Luo.

Professor Luo shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, there is no later, because Academician Alec passed away that year. ”

"Ahh He's dead? Liang Yuan was taken aback.

After a moment of silence, Professor Luo broke the silence: "Let's continue to read the sixth letter, the sixth letter, and the strangest, most mysterious, and longest of the seven letters. ”

7

The sixth letter was written in 1958, but the names of the sender and recipient were erased.

(Title blacked out):

The day before yesterday in Leningrad I visited the Hermitage and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences, where I saw a large number of ancient artifacts from the north-western regions of our country. Most of these cultural relics were stolen and plundered by Russian explorers in the Tsarist era, among them, there are Tang scriptures written by the Tang people from the Dunhuang Hidden Scripture Cave, and there are also Western Xia documents from Heicheng, these precious cultural relics, in the past, the Chinese people rarely knew, I may be the first Chinese to see these precious cultural relics, I don't know if it's a blessing? Or is it unfortunate? Thinking about it carefully, this is my personal luck, but it is a great misfortune for the country, China's precious cultural flows to a foreign land, and the people of the country do not know it, which is a great misfortune for the country!

Especially those precious Western Xia cultural relics, even I, the so-called "scholar", had never heard of them before, and the world did not know that there were such a batch of treasures in the world. In the Winter Palace, the Soviet scholars also showed me a very precious treasure of the Western Xia, according to them, the name of this treasure is "inlaid with jewels wrapped in lotus pattern jade interstitial", the Soviet scholars also told me about some of their research results on this jade interpolation, although I did not fully understand, but I can hear that the Soviet scholars attach great importance to this Western Xia jade interpolation. (The bottom line is blacked out)

When I was in Moscow today, when I was received by a high-ranking Soviet official, he formally asked me that he wanted to send a scientific expedition team to northwest China to investigate. However, when I asked about the specific content of the investigation, both Soviet officials and Soviet scholars were secretive and seemed to have something difficult to say...... (The following two lines are blacked out)

In my brother's humble opinion, it is almost impossible for the Soviet side to conduct a separate scientific expedition, and only by forming a joint scientific expedition team may be feasible...... (Dozens of lines further down are almost all blacked out and illegible.)

"Why is this letter so messy, it was not written at all, and the sender and recipient don't know who it is?" Liang Yuan quickly read the letter and took the lead in asking questions.

"So I made this letter a letter to a mysterious person, and all the places in the letter that involved the identity of the recipient were blacked out, and many of the contents were also blacked out," Professor Luo said. ”

"You have identified the recipient as a mysterious person, but what about the sender? You seem to know who he is? Tang Feng asked.

Professor Luo shook his head and said, "Tang Feng, I can't be sure who the sender is, but judging from the tone and description in the letter, both the sender and the recipient should be Chinese, which is different from several other letters, and this sender should be a very important scholar in China at that time, and this person should still have a high status, otherwise, how could the Soviet Union propose to him to send a joint scientific expedition team." ”

"Well, what Professor Luo said makes sense. This letter is indeed a strange letter, huh? Was the letter originally written in Chinese? Tang Feng asked Professor Luo again.

"Nope! The letter was written not in Chinese, but also in Russian. ”

"A well-known Chinese scholar writes in Russian to another Chinese? So strange. Tang Feng was secretly surprised, who is this mysterious person?

"This at least shows that the mysterious person who received the letter is also fluent in Russian, but we don't know who this recipient is......"

Zhao Yong interrupted Professor Luo's words: "What I am most concerned about is why this letter was blacked out? Is it sent? Was it painted by the sender himself, or by the mysterious person receiving the letter, or by someone else? How did this letter get into the hands of the KGB? ”

"Maybe the letter wasn't sent at all, maybe the KGB was the one who altered it." Tang Feng judged.

Zhao Yong retorted: "These are the top secret documents of the KGB, since they have been listed as top secret documents, there is no need for the KGB to alter the letters, if you are really not at ease, simply destroy them." ”

Tang Feng was speechless, and at this time, Liang Yuan was impatient again: "You don't have to argue, what about later?" ”

"Later? Then there was that nightmare joint scientific expedition! Professor Luo said stupidly.

Seventh, the letter from the Chairman of the KGB Serepin (Viktor Nikolayevich Sherepin) to the head of the First Main Directorate of the KGB, Sakharovsky (Viktor Mikhailovich Sakharovsky) (the letter is dated without specificity)

Comrade Alexander Mikhailovich:

The failure of the "Black City" operation has caused us to lose many excellent comrades, and I have to regret to inform you that this operation was immediately suspended.

We Communists are all atheists and should not believe in any legends of demons, gods and demons, but this time in the desert of northwest China, the bizarre and terrible encounter of the scientific expedition team makes me unable to explain it, and there is a possibility of sabotage by foreign hostile forces, but we have no tangible evidence in this regard. I think the hidden secrets of that treasure from the Xixia Dynasty in China can only be left to future generations to explore, and your generation and I may never have the opportunity to uncover the secrets.

Here's my command:

1. Immediately suspend the "Black City" operation, withdraw all our personnel, including scientists, secret agents, and military personnel from all sides, and terminate the investigation related to the failure of this operation, as well as the search for missing persons.

2. All personnel involved in the operation, including scientists, secret agents, and military personnel, no matter how much they know about the operation, are required to re-sign the confidentiality form, and promise never to divulge any secrets related to the "Black City" operation, otherwise, they will be subject to the most severe sanctions.

3. For the Hermitage and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences, you will personally arrange the time, and I will interview them.

4. Destroy all documents related to the "Black City" operation, and you will personally carry out it.

5. As for the treasure from the Western Xia Dynasty in China, it is up to you to find the safest place to seal it, remember, it will be sealed forever! Without the permission of the headquarters, this thing must not be allowed to see the light of day, and once it reappears, it will inevitably cause new terrible chaos, which I do not want to see.

6. For the survivors, I will do my best to rescue them, and as for his future arrangements, I have other considerations.

That's it, a total of six points, please keep in mind and implement it carefully. Due to the high level of secrecy of the "Black City" operation, the relevant documents will no longer be issued, and this letter will also be destroyed after reading it.

A. N. Shelepin

"From Shelepin's letter, we know that the KGB called this scientific expedition the 'Black City' operation, and he also made it clear in the letter that the operation ultimately failed, which means that they did not uncover the secret behind the Xixia jade interstitial." Professor Luo said.

Tang Feng continued: "This is in line with what Mr. Liang said, Liang Yunjie, as the Russian interpreter of the scientific expedition team, also participated in that scientific expedition, but the scientific expedition team encountered an accident in the depths of the Badain Jaran Desert and was almost wiped out, and Mr. Liang was the only survivor on the Chinese side. ”

Professor Luo Zhongping nodded: "Yes, I am also the insider of that scientific expedition, that scientific expedition, I was almost selected to participate in the scientific expedition team, I still remember, when the scientific expedition team list came down, how depressed I was, and I knew a few young people who were selected were so excited, but, later, ......" Professor Luo seemed to fall into memory, and after a long time, Professor Luo continued: "After the scientific expedition team was killed, I found that I was more and more interested in the history of Western Xia, and I must fulfill the unfulfilled wish of the scientific expedition team, so, Over the years, I have gone deep into the Badain Jaran Desert, Helan Mountain, Tengger Desert, western Sichuan and other places to investigate and search for the disappeared Western Xia civilization. ”

"After so many years of perseverance, you have become a master of Western Xia history and culture." Tang Feng said.

Professor Luo waved his hand: "So I often think that the failure of the scientific expedition team was a blessing for me?" Or is it a bad thing? I never figured it out. ”

"However, I still don't understand why we can still see these seven top-secret letters today, since Sherepin's order calls for the destruction of all relevant documents? And he ordered that the Xixia treasure be sealed forever, this Xixia treasure should be the 'jade interstitial', if the jade interstitial screen is sealed forever, why will it reappear today? Liang Yuan's question made everyone fall into deep thought again.

"The documents may have flowed out of the KGB, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the KGB was revoked, and many of the original KGB confidential documents were dispersed, and from the content of these documents, it can also be known that the purpose of Liang Yunjie's trip to Guangzhou was to obtain these documents, there is no doubt about this; As for why the jade interstitial screen appeared, I don't know, it may also be like these documents that have flowed out of the KGB, or it may be some other channel. Han Jiang, who had been silent, speculated.

"Well, I completely agree with the captain's judgment, however, there is still the biggest question, it can be seen from these seven letters that the Soviet scholars must have obtained important clues by studying this jade interstitial, so they can say that the high-level agreed to them to come to China for scientific research, so what did they find on the jade interstitial?" Tang Feng raised the question in his heart.

"Yes, as Tang Feng said, those Soviet scholars must have found something on the jade interstitial, and now this jade interstitial screen is in our hands, and we also have to use this jade interstitial screen to solve the mystery shrouded in it, of course, it depends on Professor Luo's research."

Everyone cast expectant glances at Professor Luo, Professor Luo laughed dryly, and said: "Don't look at me like this, after so many years of jade intersperse, those symbols on it, oh, that is, the Tangxia characters that Tang Feng said have been mottled, and I am now configuring special potions, if you want to see those Tangut characters on the jade interstitial, it will take some time, as for whether we can crack those Xixia characters and unlock the secrets of the jade interstitial screen after cleaning it out, it depends on our luck." ”

After listening to Professor Luo's words, Tang Feng turned his head to look at Han Jiang, and the two of them had a strange thought in their hearts: Is it that they are close to the end of the mystery? Or is it getting farther and farther away from the mystery?
