Chapter 1: The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

After we came back, we rested for a few days, and we were not busy going to Shuiyue Cave to meet Mrs. Chen, after all, there were no dust beads in this hand, and we also asked the crows to sell the Ming utensils brought out of the tomb, and the good things were sold to Shuiyue Cave by him, as for those general Water Moon Cave Heaven, they were not collected, which was also the first thing that the crow did when we came back from Beijing Panjiayuan during our rest.

My father and I both know how much these things are worth, but neither I nor my father said that our family is in the antique business in Shanxi, and this crow acts as an intermediary in the middle so that we can sell these things.

There are also many antique markets in Yunnan, and there are countless people who like to collect these large and small antiques, so we all know very well what price the crow can sell us, and he naturally understands this, so he doesn't dare to eat our black money.

According to the second uncle, if someone who doesn't understand the market gives him a treasure, he can always find a way to eat a sum, as for the second uncle and my father, the crow didn't do it, not that he didn't have the courage, but the second uncle can basically see through it at a glance, what the crow did in the middle, the two give each other face, and no one eats anyone.

In addition, the second uncle and the crow have also cooperated for decades, as the saying goes, a family does not eat a family, and the cooperative relationship of more than ten years is not in vain, it must always be built on some trust, so even if the crow eats others, it will not eat us, and the second uncle is still more confident in the crow and his friendship in business.

Although these jewelry and the like are antiques, gold and silver treasures are not as collectible as other antiques, so they are sold to be several times more expensive than ordinary gold and silver jewelry, and there is basically no profit.

The crow took his two followers all the way to the north and south, and he was also a little famous in the Taobao world, so it was easy to do business in this area, and it was possible to give him something today, he found a buyer on the same day, the crow's circle is really as deep as the sea, and other people's circles are pools, and his circle is simply the sea, so it is not an exaggeration.

The crow's ability to look at other people's mouths to distinguish what others said has also brought him a lot of convenience, plus the two subordinates of the crow, I heard that those two subordinates used to be upside down, one with a bald head and big black teeth, and a tall pockmarked face.

The reason why they changed careers was also because the inverted bucket was too dangerous, and then they were pulled by the crows to do the intermediary business, so now they also follow the crows to eat and drink spicy, and it seems to follow the crows' instructions, it seems that the crows are not shallow in this area, so that two capable people are enveloped by him, and the whole country runs everywhere, basically he knows some antique dealers or collectors in every place, and his connections are very broad.

Abu was at ease after we sold these things and divided the accounts, eating, drinking, and having fun, walking around this bar, visiting that restaurant, and going to the sauna from time to time, it was simply heaven and earth, and the only thing he didn't play was to donate a lot of money to the orphanage that raised him.

I'm bored to the extreme, in addition to visiting the antique market is to stay at home and read books, I also spent time looking at the ancestor's "Four Books of Yin and Yang" and my grandfather's inverted diary, now I am very interested in the identity of the master, so I always hope to know something from these places.

In addition, we may have to go to the so-called Loulan Ancient Kingdom in a month or two, which promised Old Man Chen that the matter was not completed, so I bought a lot of books about the ancient country of Loulan from the antique market and checked the information on the Internet.

After going through these two inversions, I have a general idea of what to know about this and what to prepare, so it's always right to have more information.

For example, some of the basic information of the ancient country of Loulan, Loulan is a small country in the western part of ancient China, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, it is the southwest and the end, the fine, the detainment, Khotan, the north through the Cheshi, the northwest through Yanqi, the east when the white dragon pile, through Dunhuang, is the key point of the Silk Road.

The ancient city of Loulan is located in the north of Ruoqiang County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China, west of Lop Nur, at the hub of the Western Regions, seven kilometers south of the Peacock River, the entire ruins are scattered in the Yadan terrain on the west bank of Lop Nur, and occupy an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road.

In addition, the earliest record of the name "Loulan" is Sima Qian's "Historical Records": "Shanshanguo, whose real name is Loulan, Wang Zhi Mud City, went to Yangguan for 1,600 miles, and went to Chang'an for 6,100 miles." ”

According to the description of the "Historical Records", the Loulan people established their own country in the century BC, when Loulan was ruled by the Yueshi, from 177 BC to 176 BC, the Xiongnu defeated the Yueshi, and Loulan was governed by the Xiongnu, Loulan had more than 14,000 residents and nearly 3,500 soldiers in the Western Han Dynasty.

Before the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains people did not know the existence of such a mysterious ancient country, the great explorer Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and brought Loulan into the sight of the Central Plains people for the first time, with the opening of the Silk Road, the ancient country of Loulan became the only way to pass through the ancient Silk Road.

The prosperity of commerce brought huge profits to Loulan, so that the people of Loulan lived a rich life, and the goods and culture of the Central Plains were also introduced to Loulan through the Silk Road, bringing developed material civilization and spiritual civilization to Loulan, and Loulan had become a paradise in the Western Regions and a paradise in the desert.

However, the Western Han Dynasty inevitably declined, the Central Plains began to fight endlessly, no time to take care of the Western Regions, Loulan also gradually lost contact with the Central Plains, 400 A.D., the high monk Fa Xian traveled west to learn the scriptures, passing through this place, this place has been "no birds on the top, no beasts below, all over the eyes, only to the dead dry bones as the mark ear".

After nearly 500 years of glory, Loulan – an important town on the Silk Road gradually lost its population and disappeared silently from the stage of history.

Later, in 1981, the discovery of the Loulan female corpse caused an uproar, causing many people in Xinjiang to talk about the dry corpse, the first thing they think of is the Loulan female corpse, and the female corpse has not rotted after 2,000 years of death.

The female corpse of Loulan is relatively young, with a small face, a high nose, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a dense blond hair, slightly curly, scattered behind the shoulders, which shows that she was a beauty before her death.

This also lets us know that Loulan is indeed rich in beauties, otherwise how could the owner of the tomb in Kunlun Mountain marry a Loulan Meiji and be buried together.

It seems that if I want to know more, I have to follow the second uncle and them to the Water Moon Cave.
