Chapter 147: The Ancient Kingdom of the Bohai Sea

Qin Liang is worthy of being well-informed, after getting the clay pot and the lacquer box, he looked left and right for a while, and then he told the origin of this clay pot and this lacquer box.

"This clay pot and lacquer box should belong to the ancient country of Bohai." Qin Liang said with certainty.

Qin Liang's words were like a knife, piercing the layer of window paper in Wang Chuan's heart, in fact, Wang Chuan knew about the ancient country of Bohai, but he didn't think about it in that direction, but had to lean this clay pot on Tang Sancai, as the so-called authorities were obsessed, he didn't think of this level.

The Bohai Kingdom was initially built in 698 A.D., and was originally named "Zhen", with the Bohai Sea as the name, the meaning of the Bohai Sea refers to the vast ocean, and it is the regime established by the Ya tribe. Later, in 762, the Tang Dynasty edict upgraded Bohai to a state, calling it the Bohai Kingdom.

In 926 AD, the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Khitan Kingdom, which lasted 229 years. The Bohai Kingdom encompassed the present-day Northeast region, the northeastern part of the Eastern Dynasty Peninsula, and parts of the Far East, and had far-reaching cultural exchanges with surrounding regions such as the Tang Dynasty and Japan.

It is rumored that the culture of the Bohai Kingdom was developed, but its hand-me-down documents were completely submerged, and there were few records left, only a small number of records of the country in the documents of the Tang Dynasty and some documents in Japan, and many problems about the Bohai Kingdom were difficult to solve and became a permanent mystery. The Bohai Kingdom is an ancient country that is like a mystery.

Because the Bohai Kingdom has a deep relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so he was deeply influenced by the Han culture, and after the Tang Sancai technology of the Tang Dynasty was transmitted to the Bohai Kingdom, they did not use this process to make mortal vessels, but to make daily vessels, which explains why the shape of this three-color pottery pot is not a common type of funeral vessels, but daily ceramics.

Thinking of this, Wang Chuan patted his head and suddenly realized that Qin Liang was still well-informed. Wang Chuan remembered that he once saw a three-color smoker from the Bohai Kingdom at an auction, but because he didn't like the style of this smoker at the time, he didn't care.

This clay pot is actually nothing to look at, and after solving the doubts in Wang Chuan's heart, the two of them carefully admired this lacquer box. This lacquer box is black and red, and the red lacquer is exposed under the carved pattern, and the carving is exquisite and beautiful. At the same time, the entire edge of the lacquer box was painted with gold lacquer, which was obviously of a very high grade, and even at that time, this thing could only be used by the royal family.

Because they know the specific dynasty of this lacquer box, then the two people can use the culture of that period to analyze this lacquer box specifically. This is very important from an archaeological point of view, because the same object was used by different people in different eras, and its historical value and significance are also different.

With the background of the Bohai Kingdom, the value of this lacquer box is even more precious. When the two of them studied more carefully, Qin Liang actually found a very secret mezzanine in this lacquer box, this mezzanine design is very hidden, if it wasn't for Qin Liang who had encountered such a box, then the two of them would definitely not be able to find it.

This discovery made the two people ecstatic, and what was hidden in the middle of such a precious treasure box must be even more precious. There is a piece of parchment hidden in the mezzanine of the box, although it has gone through more than 1400 years of vicissitudes, but this parchment is very well preserved, and the handwriting on it is also very clear.

On the parchment is a passage written in Chinese characters from the Tang Dynasty. For two people, these Chinese characters are obviously not difficult, and after a while, the two people can complete the translation. What is recorded on this parchment is actually a treasure dungeon of the Bohai Kingdom.

Around 900 A.D., the ancient state of Bohai was in the crisis of disintegration, and the class contradictions were very acute, which also gave the long-awaited strong neighbor Khitan an opportunity to take advantage of. At the end of 925 AD, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji led a large army to conquer the Bohai Kingdom, and captured the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing in the spring of the following year, and the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed.

Just ten years before the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, in the turbulent years, a general of the Bohai Kingdom was ordered to escort a large number of treasures into a hidden underground palace. This underground palace was originally a mausoleum built for the king of the Bohai Kingdom at that time, but because of the turmoil of the war, the king of the Bohai Kingdom hid all his belongings in this underground palace.

Because he already knew that the Bohai Kingdom was not far from being destroyed, he was ready to keep these treasures and make a comeback in the future. After the general was escorted, their entire army was executed. It was also this general who had a great fate, he fell off the cliff after being stabbed a few times, fell into the deep stream under the cliff, and survived mysteriously.

Although the general had been there once, he couldn't tell where this underground palace was, and in order to take revenge on the cruel methods of the Bohai Kingdom, he recorded this story and hid it in this lacquer box.

According to the general's book, the location of this Bohai Palace is very hidden, and even those who have been there a few times will get lost in the mountains near the underground palace. And the king at that time minted a golden gear, and the pattern on this gear is the map leading to this Bohai Palace.

At the same time, this gear is also an indispensable key to enter the Bohai Palace, without this gear, with the concealment of this underground palace, it is impossible to find it, and even if it is found, it is impossible to enter at all.

Knowing such a huge secret, Qin Liang and Wang Chuan became excited, and then the two of them carefully analyzed every sentence and word on this parchment. I hope to find more clues from it, but the general who wrote the suicide note only knows that there is such a thing as a golden gear, and he doesn't know where this gear is.

So Qin Liang and Wang Chuan spent more than a year collecting all the documents and records about the ancient country of Bohai everywhere, and they didn't let go of all kinds of clues, just like that, the hard work paid off, and with the efforts of the two people, they finally found the clue that might be the golden gear.

In an informal wild history classic, there was a record that in the later period of the ancient Bohai Kingdom, some nobles fled to Japan, and later for various reasons, they were expelled and lived in the territory of today's Eastern Dynasty. In this account, it is mentioned that one of these nobles once wore something like a golden gear.

The two of them followed this clue and continued to follow. It is highly likely that this gear later fell into the hands of the Korean royal family. Later, after several tosses, this compass passed to Li Zhuo's hands, and since then, there has been no record of this golden gear.

So the two of them judged that this golden gear was very likely to be buried with Li Yan.

The clue was interrupted, and both of them were disappointed, unable to uncover such a huge secret, even though they knew such a huge secret. If you want to find this golden gear, you must first find Li Yan's tomb, and Li Yan's tomb has been excavated, so it is estimated that the two of them will not see this gear in their lifetimes.

But at this time, another thing happened.
