Chapter 1 Seeking the Hidden Treasure Part I

Next Chapter

Mr. Wuliu wrote a "Peach Blossom Spring", which aroused the infinite reverie of the world, is this happy peach paradise a reality or a dream? Is it illusory or real? As far as the first year of the Jin Dynasty described in the book is concerned, it has been more than 1,600 years, and the long history has been buried until now.

This is exactly what it is:

The heart of Taoyuan is inhumane to outsiders.

Ask you why everyone sighs in the world.

I only heard that the middle path of the song was faint and could not be found.

But I hope that someone who is destined to put the wine on the peach blossoms.

It is said that one summer at the end of the twentieth century, there was a scientific expedition team marching in the majestic Wuling Mountains, which is located in the Wuling Mountains in the northwest of Hunan Province, China, with an area of 369 square kilometers and a total of 3,103 strange peaks in the territory. In addition, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the streams are dense, the cliffs are stacked, and the strange flowers and trees can be called "the first strange mountain in the world".

They are the purpose of the scientific expedition of the excavation of Chinese ancient cultural relics, and the purpose of this trip is entrusted by the local government to conduct further research on the key areas of Wulingyuan District. The team was led by Professor Mao Bowen, a famous Chinese scientist and an authority in the archaeological field, who is a doctoral supervisor of Jinghua University. This man is over fifty years old, his hair is slightly gray, and the mountain road under his feet is rugged and steep, but he is full of spirit, no less than the young team members behind him." Brother Mao, do you say that the sources of information in this place are reliable? Are we chasing after the wind?" Taking advantage of the break, an old man in his fifties stopped and asked. This person is also a professor at Jinghua University, surnamed Jin Mingjian, and is the vice captain of the expedition team.

"Yes, Dad, didn't you say that a new golden retriever bear was found in the mountains of South China last year? It turned out to be a fraud." The young man who spoke was Dr. Mao's only son, and his name was Mao Ting's tiger father, and he was also well-known in the archaeological world. However, father and son rarely have a common language, but they can talk to that Dr. King very well.

Dr. Mao wiped the sweat on his head, his expression was a little solemn: "It's better to believe it than to believe it in our business, and you have not believed it, you have also seen that the stone brick sample is definitely not fabricated, and there is no need to deceive, after all, this Wuling Mountain has long been famous."

"Your dad's strength is that he's too easily deceived. Alas, there is no help. By the way, where is the specific location of the stone bricks?" This is what Jin Jian cares about the most. Dr. Mao unfolded the map and looked at the surrounding environment." On the map, it is called Cockscomb Ridge, which should be almost there, and the mountain in front should be visible when it passes."" It's not far from the big guy's hard work, if everything goes well, it is confirmed that there are indeed relics of ancient life in this mountain, hahahaha! A few of us will go down in history! Dr. Jin Jian smiled and cheered everyone on. According to the map indicated, this mountain peak is steep and straight, and it does look a little like a cockscomb." A few people looked in the direction of Dr. Mao's finger: a huge rock stood abruptly on the top of the mountain about ten steps ahead, and it really looked like the crown of a rooster. This cockscomb ridge is estimated to be about 1,000 meters above sea level, and six people detour up the mountain from the south. To the north, that is, below the cockscomb, there is a large canyon, straight and steep, from the crown peak down, only the lush trees can be seen, it seems that it is impossible to understand what kind of environment is below by the equipment and tools brought alone.

"Look, the trees here have been cut down, well, here it is." This time it was Professor Gao Xue'an of Wuchang University who spoke, and he originally suspected that it was the grandstanding of the local government, but now he seems to be quite convinced. Now that they have arrived at their destination, the six of them began to perform their duties, with Guanfeng as the center, in addition to the north, two team members in each direction of the east, west and south to investigate the rocks and trees and vegetation. Check in. The east side is adjacent to the North Cliff, and the most dangerous position is taken care of by the experienced Dr. Mao and Huang Jianxiang of the China University of Geosciences, the west by Jin Jian and Mao Tingzhi, and the south by Professor Gao Xue'an and his proud disciple Min Zhongnan.

The sun was about to go down, and a group of people worked hard for several hours, but they still couldn't find any clues related to the stone bricks. The excitement that began with several people has turned to chagrin and disappointment. It seems that this trip was in vain.

Although it is only a few kilometers away from the location of the camp at the bottom of the mountain, because it is going down the mountain, the sky is getting dark, for the sake of safety, everyone decided to stay on the top of the mountain for the night, fortunately, the mountain is quite flat here, and it does not affect the setting up of a few tents. The sunset reflects the mountains, and the sky is full of glow. The scenery is pleasant, but everyone has no intention of watching the scenery at all. After a while, several people began to get busy again. Only Dr. Mao Bowen was still staring intently into the distance. I don't know why, Mao Bowen suddenly remembered a report a few days ago: Some scientists in the United States based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, put forward a theoretical model of the earth's black holes, believing that between 30 degrees and 40 degrees north latitude of the earth, there are at least 3 black hole wave nodes, these areas are all strong gravitational areas, can absorb radio waves and light, these gravitational areas change with the position of the earth's poles, fluctuating, but never exceed 30 degrees to 40 degrees north latitude, and most of the disappearances occur in these areas. Isn't this between 30 and 40 degrees north latitude? Could it be that Jin Jian saw that Dr. Mao was a little distracted, and walked over to comfort Dr. Mao Bowen. Before he could speak, the Doctor had come back to his senses, and he looked at his position carefully: there was no water or fertile soil, and it was absolutely impossible to live here for many years, and it was surrounded by mountains, many of which were taller than this place, why did you find stone bricks here? What are stone bricks used for? Could it really be the prank of some ignorant mountain people?

Dr. Mao recalled the specific situation he was told at the beginning: a local villager from an ethnic minority was cutting wood at Jiguanling, and accidentally found an ancient brick engraved with a strange pattern, so he handed it over to the local township government, because it involved historical relics, and the local government also attached great importance to it, so he was finally transferred to the Central Cultural Relics Protection Office, because of the trust of his superiors, the burden was handed over to him.

Well, the stone brick is indeed very old, according to laboratory calculations, about 200 years BC, according to the history of more than 2,000 years, it is engraved with the ornament of the pre-Qin Dynasty, but what can this ancient brick prove alone?

This ornament? Dr. Mao seemed to remember something, he rummaged through his backpack, which contained his unpublished paper notes, as well as a few photos, which were remade from different angles according to the ancient brick, because the ancient brick is a thousand-year-old cultural relic, and it is inconvenient to carry, so he only brought photos, which were originally used to compare with the actual object on the scene. It doesn't seem to be needed now.

Well? This brick pattern, strange, how to look like his surname: Mao. It's funny, how is that possible? Dr. Mao laughed at himself.
