Li Ding'an said very clearly yesterday: If the kiln site cannot be found on the top of the mountain, he will go home today.

As a result, it was found, so not only did there be no less, but there were many more.

The Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics dispatched three more teams, two institutes, plus hired villagers, forklifts, excavators, and vehicles, and the huge mountain was lively like a bazaar.

Ma Xianming assigned tasks to each team, because it was the first time to cooperate, so the scene was a bit chaotic: looking for machinery, shouting villagers, and even grabbing tools.

Li Ding'an sat on the hillside, quietly watching all this.

Zuo Peng panted and sat next to him.

Li ...... Teacher Li, you don't want to go down...... Watch it! ”

He shook his head: "No, the old horse can do it!" ”

The ruins were found, the porcelain clay was also found, including the relevant relic materials, and the rest was excavation. Not to mention Ma Xianming, even if it is good for Shu Jing, it can be done well by sending her a team of villagers.

The reason why today's scene is so chaotic is that Zuo Peng is too enthusiastic, and there are too many people and machines transferred over.

The second is that Lao Ma was too anxious and didn't plan in advance, so he was a little busy for a while. It would be nice to get used to it for another day or two and wait for him to find his rhythm......

Zuo Peng paused: "Teacher Li, are you leaving!" ”

"It's going to be a few days...... Wait for the old horse to get his head out...... Left inning, is there anything you want me to help with? ”

"It's not a big deal......

Zuo Peng hesitated, "It's what I mentioned before: I want you to do some research on the ruins and ruins in the city......

Good guy, I've almost forgotten about it, why are you still holding on?

Li Dingan frowned: "Compass? ”

"It's not...... Beijing University, the Forbidden City, and even the National Arts Society on Hong Kong Island have all come to the conclusion that we can't still fantasize about making something out of nothing......"

Zuo Peng hurriedly waved his hand, "Mainly some of the previous ruins, such as the Yan Great Wall, such as the Jin Dynasty boundary moat, and the three major temples of Kulun...... The excavation time of these sites is relatively early, roughly after the founding of the People's Republic of China and before the establishment of the city......

At that time, the science and technology were backward, the conditions were limited, the inspection method was relatively rough, and the excavations in several places were not very thorough, and there were some omissions, so the city leaders had been planning to conduct a comprehensive and scientific survey of these sites......

At the same time, there are also concerns: because the city bureau's ability to investigate and its professionalism are limited, it may cause secondary damage to the site, so it has been shelved ......"

I understand: local leaders still want to work "cultural and creative tourism", hoping to drive the local economy.

Not to mention the big ones, such as Xi'an, Beijing, Tongliao and these two places are not in the same order of magnitude, and there is no comparison at all.

But the small ones can be compared, such as Jiayuguan, a small city in the northwest border, relying on a city tower and several sections of the Ming city wall, making the tourism economy the second largest industry in the local area.

In comparison, Tongliao is also a prefecture-level city, and there are many places of interest and historic sites, but there are several times more than there: there is a Great Wall on the Great Wall, there are religious sites on religious sites, and there is a real palace complex building: the palace of NMQ County in the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that there is no opportunity to stir up the heat, to put it bluntly: there must be a gimmick.

The gimmick has to be big enough, it has to be novel enough, and most importantly, it has to be credible.

In the current network environment, even if the deputy boasts that an alien spaceship has been discovered, but if there is no endorsement from an authoritative department, the ghost will believe it.

This is one of them, and the second is that the inspection unit must be professional enough, especially when it comes to the personnel team.

I can't please, and I can't please, so the plan has been put on hold. Until Guobo and Li Dingan fell from the sky......

Is the National Museum authoritative enough?

The country's highest temple of history, culture and art!

Is Li Dingan professional enough?

Anyone with long eyes can see the process of this exploration, which is not an exaggeration, and it shatters the eyeballs of the ground.

There is also identity and status: is it an authoritative expert of the National Museum, a national project leader, and a project leader?

The popularity of the key folk is still high: although the information on the Internet has been blocked by Zhang Hanguang, netizens have memories, and with a little hype, the popularity will rise......

It's very thoughtful.

But to be honest, Li Dingan was not too reluctant.

There is no problem with research, even if it is for the sake of local people to give people, cars to cars, and machines to machines in the past month, you have to help them explore it carefully.

But propaganda is enough: in Li Ding'an's current situation, too much fame will be counterproductive......

"I plan to return to Beijing on New Year's Day, but the time is a little ......"

"Thank you, Mr. Li......"

"Left inning, I haven't finished talking yet......"

Li Ding settled down for a moment, "I don't report it, and I don't appear on camera!" ”

"Haha...... You can rest assured that we do not have a relevant publicity plan for the time being, and even if we do, we dare not trouble you......"

Zuo Peng patted his chest, "With my relationship with He Guan, if I ask him for help, he will definitely have to help us stand on the stage, but the premise is that we have to find something real......"

Not to mention, really.

He Anbang is not popular on the Internet, but his status is transcendent enough: the actual person in charge of the National Museum and the secretary general of the Collectors Association.

He said it was a major discovery, and who would dare to say it wasn't?

"Okay, I'll try my best to ......"

"Ouch......" Zuo Peng hurriedly stood up, "Thank you...... Thank you ......."

Li Ding'an smiled: "It should be." ”

In the past month, people have really helped......

The two politely said a few words, and the order under the mountain gradually became normal.

Cheng Feng has led a team to complete the division of the excavation area, with the ditch bank as the front, delineated 30 squares with a diameter of five meters, and each researcher led three villagers to conduct preliminary excavations on the exploration area.

A little farther away, Wan Chengbiao commanded two excavators to bury the periphery, Yao Chuan and Wei Zili each took a few team members to identify the excavated soil layer, once the real thing was found, it was immediately replaced by manual excavation.

The remaining personnel are drilling in three depressions in an effort to find out the remaining reserves of china clay.

Everything was in order, and Li Dingan was thinking about whether to go back to the hotel to make up for sleep, when the walkie-talkie rang.

Teacher Li...... Teacher Li? ”

"Roger, please!"

"There is a new discovery: temple relics have been found on the bank of Yao Changgou, and there may be temple ruins below!"

What's that?

I took you to find a porcelain kiln, and you dug up a temple for me?

Li Dingan was stunned for a moment: "What is it!" ”

"It is a bottle of stone Buddha head, wearing a crown, it should be a tantric statue, and there are two cylinder tiles made of red clay, I preliminarily deduce that they should be things around the Ming Dynasty......"

"Where?"

"Facing the main peak, Lao Dao Mountain!"

Tube tile ...... It must have been built on the roof, not into the ravine. Furthermore, temples should not be built at the foot of a mountain or on the edge of a valley.

It is estimated that the kiln site was shaken down from the mountain during the earthquake and buried in the ground.

Li Ding'an looked at the gorge and then looked at the mountain: "Left Bureau, has there been a temple built on Lao Dao Mountain before?" ”

"It was built, the earliest can be traced back to the Hongshan culture period, but the ruins no longer exist, only a few stone altars, and pottery shards...... There are also other dynasties: there are two remnants of the wall foundation, as well as broken bricks and tiles, which are estimated to belong to the Jin and Liao periods, and there are also inscriptions from the Jin and Liao dynasties on the cliffs below...... As for the Ming Dynasty, I really haven't found ......"

Zuo Peng paused for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be the ruins of a big temple?" ”

Li Ding'an was a little speechless: Do you think about the ruins a little demonic?

During the Ming Dynasty, this place first belonged to Daning Wei, and then belonged to Wuliang Ha Sanwei, which already belonged to the nine sides, even if there was a temple, where could it be big?

The Qing Dynasty was almost ......

"Let's take a look at things first!"

As soon as the words fell, the pickup truck drove down the mountain, and Li Dingan and Zuo Peng went down the mountain side by side.

It was Yao Chuan's assistant who came, and he moved the things off the back seat.

A bottle of Buddha head, slightly larger than a fist, is estimated to be a maximum of 50 centimeters high.

Wearing a skull crown, there are doppelgangers on the left and right of the head, two small statues with the same expression: grinning, smiling very happily.

"It is indeed a tantric Buddha statue, rejoice in Vajra!"

Li Ding'an explained, and looked at it carefully, "The soil is very heavy, but there is no red rust, no sand rust and water rust, and it is preliminarily inferred that it has nothing to do with the earthquake in the Republic of China, and the time of entering the soil is earlier...... Well, at least four hundred years or more......"

Four hundred years ago was the Wanli period, and Ma Xianming judged the Ming Dynasty period, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Putting down the Buddha's head, Li Dingan looked at the tube tile again.

It's roughly like a cut bamboo bucket, and a cover is added at the lower end, and the tile is usually called the cover below, commonly known as the tile head.

The main function is to divide the rainwater, and the second is to decorate, so it is not only used in the house, but also in the tomb. Since the Qin Dynasty, many have been excavated from tombs of various dynasties, and there are them in all dynasties.

The main way to distinguish is to look at the tile decoration.

For example, this one: a flower basket, eight lotus flowers, both eight treasure lotus.

Originated from the flower basket of the Eight Immortals, it began in the Yuan Dynasty and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was one of the classic ornaments of the Quanzhen Sect "Eight Treasure Patterns", also known as the Eight Immortals Pattern.

Most Taoist temple buildings, ornaments, and utensils have similar ornamentation......

Well, I'll be ......

Thinking about it, Li Ding'an was stunned again: The Eight Treasures Pattern Wadang of the Quanzhen Sect?

What's next to it...... Tantra rejoices in the head of the Vajra Buddha?

Although they are both Chinese religions, to be honest, there is basically no intersection between the two factions...... It's the kind that can't hit with eight poles.

So it's weird when these two things come together......

But look at the material: the Buddha's head is carved from basalt, and the tile is made of iron, aluminum, red clay, and all of them are made of local materials, and the range will not exceed two kilometers.

Reextrapolating the period...... Hi, eighty percent is also something from the Ming Dynasty......

In short: a lama temple has been built here, and a Taoist temple has also been built, not to mention the proximity, it is very likely that a piece has existed......

Strange?

Li Ding'an put down the tile and looked at the mountain again: "Director Zuo, has a Taoist temple been built on this mountain?" ”

"It should have been built, right?"

What do you mean by should?

Zuo Peng thought for a while: "Why don't you call it Lao Dao Mountain?" ”

Well, there's really no way to argue with that.

"You haven't investigated?"

"I have investigated, but they are of little value, including a remnant of the 'fourth year of the emperor', and nothing of value has been found."

In the fourth year of the emperor's reign, Jin Xizong finished the year name of Yan Yan?

This Confucianism respects Taoism and suppresses Buddha, and it is inferred that a Taoist temple was indeed built on the mountain.

But it is unlikely that it survived until the Ming Dynasty......

Suspiciously, Zuo Peng thought of it again: "Oh...... Another point is that there is a round altar with a fish's eye in the center, which is a bit like a gossip...... But no other information, so just like ......"

"What about the age?"

"Yuan to Ming Dynasty!"

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "Go and see!" ”

"Good!"

Zuo Peng nodded, and the two were about to go up the mountain, when the walkie-talkie rang again: "Teacher Li, I found something again, I'll send it to you......"

"Maso, I'm going to go to the mountains to have a look!"

"I've already let Xiao Shu send it up!"

As he was talking, there was the roar of a car in the distance, Shu Jing was very strong, driving the cheetah that Li Ding'an often sits, and stopped in front of the two of them.

Jumping out of the car cleanly, Shu Jinghao handed a plastic substitute forward: "Teacher Li, look! ”

Coins?

One large and one small, there are two pieces in total, and the larger one is nearly three centimeters in diameter and quite thick, about two millimeters.

Among the copper coins of the past dynasties, this size and thickness are already considered big money, Yao Chuan has done a preliminary cleaning, there is not much rust, and the handwriting on it can be seen clearly.

But Li Dingan watched it for a long time and found that he didn't know him.

It is a direct reading of the Mongolian text...... No, Paspa Van?

Turn it over again, barebacked......

He tilted his head and pondered carefully: "The copper coins of Ba Si Pawen were only minted by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, and Tiemur of Yuan Chengzong, but Kublai Khan minted small coins, with a diameter of only 2.3, and the ones you collected from the herdsmen are ...... This kind is bigger, and it must be a big money in the Yuan Chengzong period...... Well, this is Yuanzhen Tongbao's dang three money ......"

"Yuanzhen Tongbao...... Folded three cents, I remember it's worth a lot? ”

"Yes, the Yuan Dynasty mainly used paper money, there were not many copper coins, and there were not many surviving ones, and there were relatively few copper coins in Mongolian, and even fewer in Baspa...... A lot of money like this, at least 100,000 ...... It's only one! ”

"Maybe we'll dig up a lot more!" Zuo Peng suddenly came to his senses, "Isn't there another one?" ”

"It's not the Paspa script, it's the traditional Mongolian script...... Well, wait? ”

Li Ding'an squinted his eyes: I didn't pay attention to it just now, I only knew that it was Mongolian, but now I look closely, and the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

Hubi Jin Khan...... Zhugu money?

And the size, thickness, font arrangement, and tooth edge are exactly the same as the one Zuo Peng sent with the compass before?

"Shu Jing, help me get the bag!"

"I brought ......"

She took out the box containing the ancient coin and handed it to Li Ding'an.

Zuo Peng reacted: This is exactly the same as the one he received from the herdsmen with the compass?

After looking at it carefully and touching it again, Li Dingan exhaled: "That's right, the two are cast by the same institution: Daduquan Cargo Supervisor...... There was a lama temple built on it, I mean that kind of big temple...... Well, HF Temple? ”

Zuo Peng shook his head: How is it possible?

The inheritance of Tibetan Buddhism is stricter than that of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, what kind of temple can be built casually?

Since the existence of Tibetan Buddhism, Naiman has built 21 lama temples, but there is not a single one.

As long as it is built, there will be records in the relevant materials of Buddhism, and it will never be said to be buried like a kiln anyway......

Li Dingan frowned: Then it's even weirder?

I haven't built an HF temple, where did I get the Zhugu money?

"Let's go, go up and see ......"

Zuo Peng was more excited than him, just raised his foot, and pointed at Shu Jinghao: "Xiao Shu, bring Teacher Li's bag, in case you find anything again, such as a compass or something, you can check the information......

Do you dare to think about it?

Li Dingan sighed and took the bag.

As soon as the car door was closed, the walkie-talkie rang again: "Mr. Li, my old horse...... Teacher Li? ”

"What did you find again?"

"An iron plate...... Ma Xianming paused, as if advocating, "It looks like ...... and Director Zuo's compass...... Kind of? ”

Li Dingan paused suddenly, and looked at Zuo Peng in a daze: Good guy, have you opened your mouth?
