The packaging of this small box is very rough and just an ordinary gift box.

Chongning didn't pay much attention to it at first, but at a cursory glance, it was black inside, maybe it was a local specialty.

There is a kind of stone on this side, called Helan stone.

Helan stone, also known as auspicious stone, is the first of the five treasures of Ningxia.

The texture of the stone is delicate, the color is elegant and luster, the purple is embedded with green, and the green is attached to the purple, which is a rare carved stone.

The Helan inkstone carved into a thousand patterns is like a cloud and moon, like a landscape.

Each pattern is unique and elegant.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that one end was two and three Helans.

Helan stone carved inkstone, seals, paperweights and other scholars, is the first choice for gifts to relatives and friends.

The thing in the gift box, which is black all over, should be a stone.

Therefore, Chongning instinctively thought that it was a gift stone of Helan inkstone.

However, Xuan Zhen is also a person who has seen the world, so he shouldn't have such a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" Chongning felt that something was not quite right and walked over.

Hyun Zhen took the gift box, his eyes widened, and he said, "Look."

Chongning looked down and saw that it was indeed a Helan stone.

Inside the gift box, there is an inkstone, and the pattern on it is Taibai drunk.

Purple and green are naturally interlaced on the stone surface.

There are also jade belts, moire, eyebrows and stone eyes and other shapes, vivid, like the poet fairy Taibai floating in the clouds, drunk poems.

"It's nothing, this is a Helan inkstone?" Chongning frowned slightly, not quite understanding Xuanzhen's surprise.

Xuan Zhen pointed with his hand, "Look down here!"

Chongning followed his direction and looked down, suddenly surprised. "This, this is ......."

I saw that under the inkstone, a square character was engraved.

The position of the square characters, under the end of Li Taibai's pen, is a paper manuscript on the desk.

At first, Chongning only thought that it was part of the pattern composition, depicting Li Bai's poems.

However, if you look closely, it is not a kanji!

The square handwriting, he didn't know a word, it was the Western Summer Book he had encountered before!

"Western Xiawen?" Chongning's face was shocked, and he was extremely shocked when he encountered the mysterious text again.

Ji Shaotao, Leng Yanyun and others also came over.

Among them, Ji Shaotao's knowledge of the task content is the most detailed.

He was also very excited, looked at the inkstone, and asked, "Boss, where did you get this inkstone?"

The innkeeper was stunned and said, "A few days ago, a group of people stayed in my hotel."

"When they were leaving, there was a sudden civil unrest and they beat each other."

"This box was pulled down at that time, and I left it because I looked good."

It is possible to run a big car of freight here, and it is possible to buy and sell in any way.

In fact, there is no shortage of some shady businesses.

The spoils are unevenly distributed, and internal strife is a common thing.

The innkeeper was used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Ji Shaotao continued to ask, "What about after that? What about them?"

The innkeeper said, "It seems that two people died, and the rest ran away."

Yang Haoyu asked, "Where did they fight?"

The innkeeper pointed out and said, "It's on that hillside."

Ji Shaotao and his party left the hotel and came to the small hillside.

The terrain here is rough, full of sand and gravel, full of loess, and the green vegetation is very sparse.

At the bottom of the hillside, there are still traces of the fight at that time.

On several large stones, there were traces of dried blood.

The ground not far away was scorched, as if it had been burned by something.

Faintly, you can feel the intensity of the battle.

Lu Pingliu leaned down, grabbed the loess on the ground, and put it on the tip of his nose

Sniff it.

"The infighting of a group of tomb robbers, one side is the Jieling Force, and the other side is the Tufuzi."

Chongning was a little surprised, and said, "Smell the soil, you can determine so much information?"

Lu Pingliu's nose moved slightly, and he said, "That piece of scorched earth was blasted out by the Flying Fire Meteor dedicated to Xieling Lux Lux."

"The scratches on the stone here are the marks of a special sapper shovel, and only the Tufuzi would use this shovel shape."

Jieling Lux is one of the well-known sects of tomb robbing.

The Yongku tea, yellow dumplings, and the previous Wei boss in the submarine tomb are all unloading wrestlers.

Like the Peacock Feather, the Flying Fire Meteor is the exclusive secret weapon of Jieling, and it is extremely powerful.

Such a scorched earth, as if it had been burned with a flame bomb, was extremely terrifying.

The Tufuzi in Lu Pingliu's mouth refers to ordinary tomb robbers, also known as shoveling land.

Generally speaking, it is a tomb robber who does not have any school of instruction.

This group of people are basically self-taught, or their ancestors make a living from it, and they rob tombs in a small workshop.

This is similar to Haiqing's legs in the cross talk door.

But don't underestimate this group of people, there are many talented people among such tomb robbers.

Yao in the Hongshan case is respected as the ancestor of the modern tomb robbery world.

Yao didn't have any teachers, and the feng shui and tomb watching skills were all taught by his father.

Later, the astrological positioning and other tomb robbery skills were all self-taught and developed.

He made many self-made tomb robbery tools, such as ties, heavenly hearts, nets, etc., to support celestial phenomena and feng shui.

In the thirty years of tomb robbing, there has never been a mistake.

Because of the grave robbery case of Hongshan Culture, the impact was too great, so he was arrested.

Tufuzi's tools generally do not have obvious sect marks, and are mostly made of self-made, mainly to take advantage of them.

Lu Pingliu can distinguish tools from the stones on the hillside, and those marks that have been punched, which is also amazing.

Ji Shaotao looked around and asked, "Do you have anything else to discover?"

Yang Haoyu held a fragment in his hand, looked at it, and said, "There are some pottery shards here, which seem to be broken cultural relics."

Ji Shaotao and the others walked over, and sure enough, they found some scattered pottery shards on the ground. Z.br>

Chongning squatted down, picked up a large fragment, and took a closer look.

Ji Shaotao asked, "What age?"

Chongning said, "This is a flat pot from Western Xia, and it should have just been unearthed."

The pattern of the pottery shard is very rough, and the tire of the ceramic is also very rough.

It looks like it should be a flat pot.

The Western Xia was established by the minority party and had a strong national style.

Xixia porcelain kilns, mostly in the northwest desert, used to fire clay, not as delicate as the Central Plains, so the fetal quality is very rough.

As a nomadic people, these ceramic types are all practical objects.

This kind of flat kettle, locally known as the water turtle, is a kettle that is carried with the army when marching and fighting.

The shape of the flat pot is not very beautiful, but it is very practical, tied to the horse's back and hanged, which is very suitable for nomadic flow.

With such obvious styling characteristics, Chongning took a closer look and could distinguish them.

Leng Yanyun said, "In other words, this group of tomb robbers is nearby and has stolen a Western Xia tomb?"

Yang Haoyu's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Captain Ji, does this have anything to do with our destination?"

Li Shengxing formed this team mainly to annihilate the Jiang family's counterfeiting gang in one fell swoop.

The Jiang family and the Zeng family have a nest of snakes and rats, and they are embarrassed to be women.

The Zeng family is the Xuanhe Linghou lineage of the tomb robber family, and the lair of the cooperation between the two families must be in an extremely dangerous place.

Ji Shaotao led the team all the way to the west, almost approaching the Northwest Desert.

At this time, there were traces of tomb robbers and the theft of the Western Xia tomb.

It is inevitable that people will associate the two.

Sun Yi

He said, "Where are we going? I'm halfway there, and I don't know where I'm going?"

Ji Shaotao groaned, his face was solemn, and he said, "To be honest, I don't know where to go."

Everyone was stunned, very surprised, and stunned.

Sun Yi frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know the destination, so are we like headless flies, bumping into each other?"

Chongning was also puzzled, full of doubts.

Lu Pingliu coughed lightly and said, "It is estimated that Mr. Xiao Li only said a general direction, and he doesn't know the specific location."

Chongning looked at Ji Shaotao, he didn't deny it, obviously he was right.

This situation caught everyone by surprise.

Chongning, Xuan Zhen, Leng Yanyun and others all thought that Ji Shaotao knew the destination, and followed the bus all the way, still looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, there was no destination.

Yang Haoyu was not too surprised, and seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.

"The captain is an expert explorer, a fruit hunter, and that's telling."

Chongning is right to think about it, if he knows the specific location, maybe the captain is Yang Haoyu.

Let Ji Shaotao serve as the captain of this trip, which is more inclined to exploration.

Ji Shaotao smiled bitterly and said, "Before, maybe it was a headless fly that needed to be touched. At this point, there may be a direction."

Chongning's eyes lit up and he said, "These pottery shards are related to our trip?"

Ji Shaotao replied and said, "Yes, according to reliable clues, the Jiang family's fake nest is hidden in a Western Xia tomb."

"This big tomb is a new tomb that has just been excavated, and no one knows what it is."

"Originally, I was still having a headache, but now I have a direction."

In the northwest desert, near Yinchuan, at the foot of Helan Mountain, there are many tombs of Western Xia princes.

However, most of the king's tombs are hidden in the wind and sand, and they cannot be searched.

Moreover, in the depths of the desert, there is also the no-man's land of the ancient city wasteland, which is extremely dangerous.

It is extremely difficult to search for a specific location from the vast desert according to a general location.

Therefore, Li Shengxing hired and recruited, and Ji Shaotao, known as an expedition expert and fruit hunter, served as the captain.

He once found sunset blood oranges in the vast hot rainforest, and also picked agar berries in the Egyptian desert.

Every mission is a needle in a haystack, and in the unlikely case, escape alive.

According to a little clue, a rare fruit was finally hunted.

This kind of almost innate ability is exactly what Li Shengxing likes.

Hyun Jin asked, "So where are we going now?"

Ji Shaotao was in a nearby place, turned around a few more times, and after synthesizing all the findings, he said, "Deep in the northwest, there should be clues."

I don't know, it's instinctive intuition, or scientific analysis.

Ji Shaotao's eyes were extremely firm.

Lu Pingliu didn't doubt it, and said lightly, "Then let's set off."
