Chapter 181: Speaking Slowly

Jin Long is not a veteran, and he understands these things in such detail.

Chen Jie asked rhetorically, "Then how did you find the imperial tomb of the Yuan Dynasty back then?" ”

Jin Long nodded, "Don't worry, the journey is still long, I'll talk slowly." ”

"In the winter of 1994, we had just returned home from work at a Manchu general's tomb in Northeast China, and received an anonymous letter asking us to meet in Hainan, which contained a check for 100,000 yuan. I went to Hainan with my men, my closest comrade-in-arms, my best brother Matt. ”

"According to the address, we came to Hainan Shengdeli Company, and we gradually understood what it was."

"Sidley is a cover expedition in China, a lawyer and a billionaire who has an estimated $50 million to $100 million in private fortune, all of which he earned in gold before he became a lawyer."

"At the age of 20, Kravitz served in the U.S. Army in Germany, and by chance, he read "Genghis Khan, the Emperor of All Mankind" written by Harold Ram, and since then, he has been fascinated by Genghis Khan."

"The full-time staff took me into the company, and Murry sat on the couch and was very excited for me to come. Hi my friend, it's a great honor to have you here, I'm Murry, the owner of this company. Mu Li didn't say much, but took us directly to a vault under the company, and took us to visit his collection for so many years, and the treasures of the land of China were full of treasures in his vault, including many calligraphy works and paintings that had disappeared. I have also been working underground for a long time, and I am not surprised by many things, and when I see one thing, I can't help but be shocked, and that is Genghis Khan's silver-handled python whip. This thing is something that many fans who are chasing the tomb of Genghis Khan are desperately trying to find. ”

"I'm curious, 'Mr. Kim, what's so special about that thing?' Mr. Kim made a gesture not to be in a hurry, and then said, "Murry saw that I had a very good feeling for this thing, and his eyes were full of confusion and doubt, Murry smiled lightly, my friend, I knew you would be interested in this thing, because in your industry, there is only something that others have not done, and you can do it, and that is an incomparable honor." To tell the truth, I was just a businessman, a businessman who only knew money, but Lamb's biography made my blood boil, Genghis Khan's life was so amazing, I began to collect and read books about him carefully, to the point of hunger, never satisfied, some people said that I was addicted. In the past I did not dare to say, but now I can confidently declare to the whole world that there is probably no one in the world who knows Genghis Khan better than me! ”

"It seems that this Muri is ready to invite me here, this thing is to test whether I know the goods."

"My friend, since you are interested in this, then I will take you to see something that makes you unbelievable." Murray took me to the fourth basement floor, a very small exhibition room. Here, I really saw something unbelievable, the distribution map of the imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, the many documents about the imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty that have disappeared, and there was a picture that shocked me greatly, that is, the portrait of Genghis Khan, this portrait is not a copy, but a real original. ”

"Matt and I looked at each other, 'Mr. Murry, what is the real reason you came to us?' "Mr. Jinlong, don't worry, please take a closer look at what makes this portrait unique." Murry made a gesture of please, Matt and I looked closer, this thing is indeed different, the eyes of this painting emit a strange brilliance, so that you will immediately be in awe, when you carefully observe the eyes with a high-powered magnifying glass, a miracle appeared, just in the tiny eyes, the red blood in it turned out to be a map, and the red blood in the two eyes became a complete map. ”

"Mr. Jinlong, you are really very professional, you have a saying in China called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, I will get straight to the point, according to my thirty years of continuous investigation and verification, invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, and finally let me find that the location of the mysterious Genghis Khan Mausoleum is here." Murry pointed to the portrait's eyes.

"'Based on the records in the historical documents, including of course some legends, we found the silver-handled python whip, and it seems that this legend is true.' Murry handed me the silver-handled python whip. ”

The story of this silver-handled python whip has been passed down for a long time, when Genghis Khan led the army to the west to conquer Western Xia, passing through the Baoer Tolgoi of the Ordos grassland, today's Yijin Horo, witnessing the beautiful scenery of abundant water and grass, flowers and deer, very intoxicated, nostalgic when the silver-handled python whip fell to the ground, and when the entourage wanted to pick up the horse whip, it was stopped by Genghis Khan. The Great Khan was moved and recited a poem: "The place where the golden deer roost in the horns, the hometown of the hoopoe bird brood, the place where the declining dynasty is revitalized, and the country where the white-haired old man is happy." And he said to the left and right, "I can be buried here when I die." In this place, an obao was built as a mark, and the horsewhip was buried. After Genghis Khan's death on Liupan Mountain, his subordinates prepared to transport his coffin back to his hometown for burial, but when the hearse passed through the Ordos grassland, the wheels suddenly sank deep into the ground, and the horse-drawn horse did not move. At this time, everyone remembered the words of Genghis Khan before his death, everyone shouted, the wheel of "Qiyuan" moved again, this place is Qiyuan Valley, Qiyuan means the meaning of origin, Yijin Horo is the meaning of the imperial tomb, so Genghis Khan was buried on the Ordos grassland on the spot, and left 500 households of "Dalhut" people to guard. ”

"Of course, this is just a legend, and it is also a relatively well-founded legend, but in fact it is not, this is just an introduction."

"Before I came, Mr. Murry had already held an expedition, but the end was sad."

In early 1992, at the age of 61, Kraviz launched his expedition.

His expedition team consisted of 15 people, including Bennett Bronson, director of Asian anthropology at the University of Chicago Field Museum, Dr. John Woods, professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Chicago, and Shagdalunbilla, a member of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

Despite its ambitions, Kravitz's expedition went extremely hard.

The Mongols had great respect for Genghis Khan, and when Kraviz first proposed the expedition to the Mongolian government, the Mongol government was noncommittal. In order to win consent, Kravitz spent almost all of his savings and lived in Mongolia for six years, trying his best to please the Mongols. In order to dispel the suspicion of the Mongolian people that he was a "gold digger", he held face-to-face meetings with Mongolian scholars and officials at every opportunity.

After successfully passing the first level, Kraviz's archaeological expedition moves on to the second phase: identifying important sites in Mongolian history and searching for remnants of artifacts. They marked the map with more than 200 place names and road names that appeared in the Secret History of the Mongols, and integrated all the events that took place in the region to draw the Historical and Geographical Atlas of Genghis Khan in the method of time and space connection.

In late 1992, the expedition narrowed its scope to three sites.

The first site is a mountain where Genghis Khan is said to be buried. But halfway up the mountain, the expedition horses never went up again. In the end, the expedition members climbed to the top of the mountain in a helicopter, but there was nothing to be pleased with.

The second site, named "Murry" by Kraviz, because it was the result of his own research. The expedition found 150 tombs from different periods, but none of them were made tombs.

The third location, one of the most mysterious and twisted, is also a turning point in Murray's exploration and discovery, and one that has made Kravitz and the American media ecstatic. In July 1992, the expedition met a 76-year-old shepherd who said that he had accepted his father's orders and had been tending to a stone wall for decades, and behind the stone wall was an important person. The shepherds have been guarding this site for 40 generations, but it's not clear why they stayed here.

According to the "Secret History of Mongolia", Bindel Mountain was once a place of sacrifice and worship for Genghis Khan, and there are inscriptions written in various languages on the mountain, in addition to the tablets of more than 400 Mongolian clans. Legend has it that the body of Genghis Khan's father was buried there.

The expedition team believes that this tomb group is likely to be the Chengling they are looking for!

Under the guidance of the shepherds, the expedition finally came to this section of the stone wall. It is three or four kilometers long and is made entirely of stones.

At the foot of the hill inside the stone walls, they found 60 tombs that had not yet been excavated. Through an analysis of the age of the porcelain tiles found on the ground, the expedition team found that they all coincided with the age in which Genghis Khan lived. After another period of investigation, Kravitz announced to the world that he had found the tomb of Genghis Khan!

But the truth of the matter is that it's just getting started.

Scientists, members of the expedition team, relied on new technology to enter the stone wall, and found a coffin in a small tomb with no epitaph, no record, no burial goods in it, and no secret passages, in the coffin, just a painting, a portrait of Genghis Khan. The Yankees thought too much about it, thinking that they had found the Imperial Tomb, because in their minds, they couldn't imagine how mysterious this land really was. ”

"Murry also knew that this was just the beginning, but in order to allow himself to hide and continue the search, he boldly announced the fake news until they found the silver-handled python whip."

"On the back of the painting, this poem sung by Genghis Khan is written in Mongolian, so Murry is bold enough to be sure that there must be a buried horsewhip here, and indeed, Murry's judgment is correct."

The shepherd's house also has a portrait of Genghis Khan, but the shepherd does not know who he is, because the material of this portrait is far less good than the material in the tomb, the shepherd only knows that this is left by the ancestors, and he can't move, Murry grinds hard and hard, and finally, with 300 sheep and 50,000 cash to impress the shepherd, he buys this painting that looks tattered, but Murry's money is worth it, and it is on the back of this painting that Murry finds the real map of the valley. Because so far, no one knows the real place of the Rim Valley. ”
