When they first heard the name "Ziyi Hou", it was from Ah Chang.

At that time, it was learned from his mouth that the "Purple Yihou" was particularly interested in Huaxia Ding, and listed "Yuwang Jiuding" as the highest level of their collection and reward.

From this transcript of the ledger from the 50s, we can see that before they left Xiangjiang, they frantically purchased tripod ware - this kind of utensils that are not pleasing in the antique market, what is the purpose of it?

"You say, are they also looking for the whereabouts of "Mountains Return to Tibet"?"

Wang Qiang came out coldly with such a sentence, which instantly made everyone feel like they had seen the sun.

Everyone thinks that this is a great possibility.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, they had already mastered the whereabouts of the "Qingzhou Ding", and he himself was carrying the "Lianshan Returning to Tibet" on his back, even if he saw the big ding with the word "Qingzhou" written on it, he would not dare to determine its authenticity.

Moreover, "Jiuding" is not inherited in an orderly manner, and the relevant information is broken too early, and it is difficult to trace the source.

Officials are still unsure of its true whereabouts, and antiquities dealers like them have to resort to high bounties and cast a wide net to find it.

As the saying goes, there must be "brave" husbands under heavy rewards, such as Lu Qinzhai back then, and now Feng Zhennan, who is willing to become the lackey of the "Purple Marquis".

"If that's the case, why did they mention the ancient capital of Zhongzhou-Luodu at the end?"

Luodu is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in the middle of the world, named because it is located in the sun of Luoshui, with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, more than 4,000 years of city history, and more than 1,500 years of history of building the capital, and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

It is one of the ancient cities that can be compared with Xijing in Chinese history, and there have been thirteen dynasties to build their capitals here.

Therefore, Zhongzhou, like Sanqin, is a world-famous cultural relics province.

At the same time, it was also one of the provinces with the most serious loss of cultural relics during the war and chaos.

It is no exaggeration to say that ninety percent of the bronzes circulating on the market that year came from Zhongzhou and Sanqin provinces.

Among these ninety percent, more than half are from Xijing and Luodu.

"Could it be that all these large and small tripods that they earn this month are all from Luodu?"

Old Man Bai shook his head.

"No, black market transactions like theirs, according to the rules of the industry, never ask the source, specifically mark it, it should mean something else.

Moreover, I think we can focus on the following numbers. ”

While he was talking, Bai Lu took out his phone and tried to enter the first string of digital information they got.

“345776、390349”

The result is varied, there is everything to say, and there is no reliable information at all.

"Lu, do you think of this thing as latitude and longitude? With my not very high level of education, I can see that such a long list cannot be a number of latitude and longitude, and it is more reliable to say that he has a withdrawal password. ”

Wang Qiang made a joke about Bai Lu next to him.

Unexpectedly, his joke seemed to touch a certain nerve of Old Man Bai.

He suddenly put down the teapot in his hand, stood up, pointed at Wang Qiang and said with a smile:

"Lao Luotou always said that your kid has a very high understanding, and I can see it now."

As soon as he said this, everyone around him was at a loss.

When chatting about business, why did he suddenly praise Wang Qiang?

Wang Qiang himself was also confused, still wondering what he had just said to make the old man so excited.

The old man Bai put his hands behind his back and paced in the courtyard as he spoke:

"The coordinate system we are using now was determined in the eighties, and the origin point is taken from Sanqin Jingyang, that is, the most central point of the territory.

In the fifties, we also did a geographical survey, and the origin at that time was determined from the big brother in the north to radiate outward, also called the 'Shangjing coordinate system'.

However, there is a process for the implementation of this coordinate system.

At that time, whether it was a textbook or a variety of tool books, the coordinate system that was really used the most was called the 'Jinling coordinate system', that is, in the thirties, the Jinling government promulgated the geographical coordinate system that radiated out from Jinling as the center, also called the 'Jinling coordinate system'.

So when this string of numbers came out just now, I didn't calm down for a while, and if it hadn't been for Hadron just mentioning, I would have almost forgotten about this stubble. ”

As soon as Old Man Bai said this, everyone instantly understood.

This string of numbers is the Jinling coordinate system promulgated in the old social period, and according to the existing coordinate system data, it is impossible to find the corresponding accurate location.

Old Man Bai is worthy of being a generation of grandmasters, and his theoretical foundation is quite solid.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the art of Kanyu has a great relationship with geography, and a good feng shui master is really not an exaggeration to say that he is a living map.

The old man is over eighty, and his brain is indeed not as flexible as when he was young.

But as long as someone mentions it, they can immediately remember it, this is the ability.

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng glanced at each other, and could only secretly give a thumbs up.

“345776、390349”

He silently recited the string of numbers twice in his mouth, and his left and right hands began to pinch and compare, and his lips moved.

"Almost, Lulu, I said you remember."

"Okay."

Bai Lu pulled out a piece of paper and got ready.

"34-36, 112-29, search, according to latitude and longitude, to see where this place is."

Bai Lu quickly wrote down these numbers, took out his mobile phone, and entered them according to the north latitude and east longitude.

After jumping to the mobile phone page, a familiar place name appeared in front of everyone's eyes:

"Nakdo Dragon Gate"

"It's the Longmen Grottoes! This coordinate points to the Longmen Grottoes. ”

The mystery that has plagued everyone for a long time has finally been solved.

Everyone immediately struck while the iron was hot and began to follow this idea and continue to explore.

"If this string of numbers represents the Longmen Grottoes, the latter string of numbers should be the number of the grottoes, and it cannot be compared according to the current number.

Check quickly, whether you can find the number of each cave in the Longmen Grottoes during the Republic of China on the Internet. ”

Bai Lu took out her phone again and began to look for answers on it.

It's a pity that this kind of content is too unpopular, and you can't find any relevant information on the Internet.

At this time, I have to trouble Curator Ma again, he should have the most detailed information available for reference.

Lin Yi sent him a message, and Director Ma quickly came back, saying that he would help them inquire about relevant clues early tomorrow morning.

Now, all the contents in this work notebook have been unraveled, but there is still a lot of content that they need to continue to explore, Lin Yi decided at the moment that in order to speed up the progress, he immediately divided into two ways.

He flew to Moro Street in Xiangjiang with Bai Lu to communicate with the old man who gave them work notes, trying to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing, as well as why this important notebook was in his hand, who he was, and what he still knew.

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng drove to Luodu, and when the news came from Director Ma, the two of them took a field trip to see what unknown secrets were hidden in this marked location.
