It turns out gold teeth just know a professor at Beijing Institute of Archeology and Museology, they are often among the horizontal communication, recently out of one thing, the details of the matter is this.
Was interrupted during the Cultural Revolution decade, the archaeological heritage conservation and other activities, in the reform and opening up once again re-started the past three years, is an archaeological peak, a large number of tombs and monuments have surfaced.
Exchange transactions antique collection is extremely hot, all kinds of large and small groups of Tomb Follower of fashion, met with mounds of earth on the dig, particularly in Shaanxi, Henan, Hunan and other places particularly at night, but much worse.
Loulan Tombs in Xinjiang since the river has been found that people seem to be a rude awakening, the great desert of Xinjiang, the Silk Road was extremely brilliant, Kongquehe 36 countries along the Western Regions, Hu fox, Loulan, Milan, Niya , wheel sets, Po class, regardless of ink, West nights ... ... a paradise for adventurers, I do not know how much treasure and prosperity in the vast expanse of yellow sand was covered.
For a time, countless expeditions, archaeological teams, tomb robbers rushed into the Taklimakan Desert treasure. This was the beginning of the nineteenth century, after the desert adventure heat wave of the second expedition, but this piece of desert on most inexperienced explorers speaking, as the famous Swedish explorer Sven Hedin great interpretation of the Taklimakan, like It was a place, never to return. Sea of Death, thus its name.
Xinjiang ancient tomb relics protection, imminent, but officials do not have sufficient human and financial resources of the Taklimakan Desert in the excavated remains of the protection of a large number of archaeologists are racing against time to explore in Henan province have been damaged tomb Tomb or construction.
The professor knew big gold teeth, long-term study of the Western Regions culture, ancient tombs have been destroyed in Xinjiang are worried about the incident, has been looking for the leadership of applications in the hope to personally led to the desert, of these relics do a site assessment, and then apply to the relevant departments to explore or to protect them.
Higher Zeyi lack of funds as an excuse to repeatedly Tuituo, in fact, funding is secondary, mainly because of the recent crash in the desert too many people worried that teaching them go out of something unexpected. A kind of hidden rules of officialdom, not seeking active, but they try to over do not make a mistake hit the big time, career and wealth is a matter of time.
Until recently, there is a Chinese-American involved in this, the archaeological team of professors to provide full funding support, This could go forward. Zhezhi archaeological expedition is currently still in preparation, they need to find a rich experience of team leader to survive the desert, in addition to leaving a shortfall of one to understand the surgery feng shui stargazing Homo habilis, because most of the archaeological team members Ken Shuben a bookworm, there is no team leader, into the desert would certainly not get off; no one who knows the Star feng shui Gao Ren, by their class can not find the location of the remains of tombs.
Easy to find such people, some people responded, mostly phony's generation, the two sides talk about it on the running scared, so professors Baituo big gold teeth in popular look for such a capable person.
Large gold teeth asked if I want to go, and that the Americans out of the price can be quite high, and you can go to the desert look, in the end there is not any big tomb on the times when the foot plate, future action Yehao have a reference.
I say: "This a good opportunity for us, is a rare practice, we have never had dealings with the archaeologists, if we can go together, you can have learned so much from them. I'd been to the desert the past, the two forces had conducted a military exercise into the depths of the desert. team leader is the team leader, to enter the desert, but also need to find a good guide to local. Another Star Feng Shui I understand that, as long as the sky has stars, I can take them to find what they are looking for a place.'s just that I do not quite understand why the United States sponsored a Let's adventures in China activities? his purpose what is it? Americans are not Lei Feng, the Americans a very pragmatic way, the most valued real interests, there is no good thing, they will not do. "
Large gold teeth said: "The details of this matter I do not understand very well, only a rough idea about. Financed the Americans are a woman, Chinese, her father is a Wall Street tycoon, usually very fond of adventure activities like archaeological . Last year, her father and a group of Chinese explorer, and go and Xinjiang expedition, her father absolutely fine for what seemed particularly interested in culture. They that go is to find hidden in the Sand Sea hinterland Nazuo absolutely fine old city, the results go to of no return, one person can not come back, the local troops deployed to find the plane, finally could not find, a little clue at all. She inherited the family's large estate, I am afraid of her father's things are not give up hope that this sub-sponsor, there may also wish to do their maximum capacity, Zaiqu look for her relatives. Although she is American, after all, is ethnic Chinese, according to our own Chinese people's tradition, died later, were buried in the hometown of ah thrown in the desert wind and sun, and far from loved ones at home, nor peace. "
The three of us have been drinking the night side, scattered, agreed to by the big gold teeth to contact the buyer, and introduced us to the archaeological team's departure, the organizer Professor Chan, we can not join in, and Professor Chen also need to interview.
Two days later, large gold teeth took us to the Tianjin, Tianjin, Shenyang, and with a small antiques store, the owner is a fair and clear thirties woman, we all call her Korean sister. Han sister is a Hong Kong Protecting and nurturing the boss's mistress, who had a handful of employers in Hong Kong, one of several antique collector, sister to open in Tianjin to South Korea such a pavement, one to her boring life in order to find something to do, and second, you can buy antique Burial.
Han sister was not very talkative woman, but she was very high attainments antique appraisal, after reading our funerary objects, she was very generous to pay the 60000: "Today's market, at most 50000, more to pay you 10000 is the hope we to make friends, after what is a good thing, will you still get it to. "
I put a thick bills connected to the hands of excitement, some shaking hands, my own unpromising Anma: "Lao Hu ah Hu, you count those who had seen the world, when Chairman Mao in Tiananmen Square to review Red guards, when you participate in excitement before? frankly, was excited before, but we had not been so excited. whatever the outcome, you are regarded as major forest climbed trees, dug over the Kunlun mountains pits, back in Vietnam who opened fire, how Today, even the money was moved to Nabu Zhu it? Well, this is the power of money ah! no way, you can not respect money, but the money, do not give the mountains of the villagers pull wires, do not give those who sacrificed their comrades the families improve their lives, the money is too great, and risk one's life, for what is for the money. "
After going back, I put the money into four copies, one to a British child, one to the fat, as well as a copy to secretary, give everyone sub-points, the remaining copy Retention to buy equipment, and funding for the next operation.
Fat did not want to do its share, he said that no less than a lot of this money, but said not much more to give ganggang yuyingzi roads is definitely not enough, let's one fewer than the number of sub-Jiu Sheng, and heard that Lao Hu your company, there are a lot of the countryside, martyrs, and the family population, although there are government subsidies, but a very difficult life, and even some aging mother, his son died, she was no money to buy tickets to Yunnan to see his son's tomb. Hear you say these things, my eyes would turn sour, heck, you just sent me this disability to those martyrs and injured brothers bar. I am in this life, the greatest wish is that the army into battle, but my father died early, I was not that opportunity, and Laohu you help me complete this desire it, let's more money after I have re-allocated to no later than .
Speaking of this matter, my eyes where tears are arguing about fat pat on the shoulder: "OK, ah, I learned more and more high. After plenty of opportunities to make money, this time let's fight to Xinjiang, and make the money the Americans . "
Rest for a few days, big gold teeth would come to notice that some of the archaeological team of Professor Chen to meet with me and went to Professor Chan fat office space.
Professor of age is not small, and I can not help him to a meeting worried that the bones would also like to enter the old world's second largest mobile desert?
Together with Professor Chan, as well as his assistant Hao patriotism, which is a 40-year-old middle-aged intellectuals, hair mess, just like the hen house, a look at the lack of interpersonal experience, the depth of his glasses to show people He is a hard study has a rigorous and pragmatic approach to learning, and less attention to their image of the person. His time there are many such people during the Cultural Revolution, but the reform and opening up, with new knowledge and a new wave of popularity values, so that old-school child who is running out.
Hao patriotic seriously looked at us about it, not polite, straight to the point said: "The two comrades, your purpose in coming we already know, and presumably the requirements of our archaeological team is that you know, this is an exception in an exception, exceptions in the exception. What we need is talent, the two of you have experience of the desert adventure to survive, or to understand the stars feng shui? the slightest bit can not be careless, if you do not have the skills, we just do not through the back door. "Having looked at a large gold teeth, "to see who's face is not OK."
Professor Chen Hao patriotic speech that is too straight, and he and his father are also quite familiar with big gold teeth are often asked their opinion of some antiques appreciation of the problem, do not want so much noise is too strained their relationship, they got up from the sofa to smooth things over, please We are seated, chatting a few words, and asked me and some of the things fat, smile, nodding his head after listening to: "simple ah, while the PLA's company commander, as well as participated in the war experience and went to the desert, really rare ah, when the leader of those of us bookworms, then it is more than sufficient. in the desert ruins and tombs, most of them buried in the yellow sand under the old course of the long dry Kongquehe hard to find, if patients do not understand the Star feng shui, I am afraid is not found I did not know the two of you know anything about Feng Shui? "
I know that the Star feng shui, also known as capsulorhexis blue vault of heaven is the "forward a yin and yang, feng shui secret operation" in the bully volumes, most obscure chapter, I have never actually used before, but this time only be able to bite the bullet and blew. I Naolenaotou Paper replied: "Excuse me sir, not me bragging ah, for this astrolabe engraved on feng shui, I was Shumenshulu, but it was of talking about it ... ..."
In order to get the U.S. to pay in order to work, I put belly stocks were down out in the hope that they are inverted Kan, Kan Mongolia. Thanks to my ancestral book, secretary, initially Hao patriotic look at me very young, thought I was big gold teeth relatives, through the back door to them that Hunfan Chi, I said a few words, clearly and logically drawn, and he can not help me with admiration, listen attentively to one side.
The feng shui Well, the most geo-known, land of feng shui can be simply summarized as follows: possession of Wind, the very water of. This "burial book" ① Well put it in: "funeral who by angry also. Gas wind is scattered, while the water is only the world. Ancients gather the so dispersed, so that only the OK, so that the feng shui."
Feng Shui in turn magnify infinite future generations, and not just limited to the burial ground pulse points, and will gradually be extended to serve geomancy of the operation. Geomancy who heaven and earth also, bluntly, is to analyze the relationship among Heaven, Earth, a knowledge.
But today I am here only to the professors and teachers, talk about the feng shui of a branch of "Star feng shui." Ancient monarchs and nobles of the matter of death is very valued, enjoyed during his lifetime treatment, death should continue to have, not only so, they also believe that the rise and fall, all hair on the Dragon, it must be installed in feng shui treasure tomb. Mausoleum of the Emperor Yongzheng who will be brilliantly outlined, he said: heaven and earth poly Hideyuki area, the convergence of the yin and yang, Longxue sand water without the United States do not accept the situation qi, Zhu Ji salty preparation, mountains of water law, structured Xiangming, Xun Kyrgyzstan is on the soil.
While only a short span of few words, but it is undoubtedly the Mausoleum of the choice of the most direct, most image, the most vivid description, but he only said half of the pursuit of Heaven and Man of the realm of the ancients, not only to Mountain Water law, but also sun and the moon and stars.
Starting from the ancient times, people often watch sky to study the changes in the stars used to speculate fortune good or bad fortune, the choice of feng shui, when treasure also include astronomy, the essence of heaven and earth quite different, 84000, human beings of the heart and kidney quite different, a quarter of eight-inch, human 金木水火土, Xing Yuan should be five days, another 24 stars corresponding to the world mountain geography, Star US-evil, to have the good or bad fortune.
Where the soil on the Kyrgyz, it must be the moon and stars in heaven echoes, while the nebula flow to fixed points to the Green of the surgery Uzbekistan is the most difficult feng shui master of the Star feng shui.
Days there are 24 places, there are 24 days when, there were 24 solar terms, it also has 24 to feng shui, 24. Be able to understand the arrangement of the stars of the good or bad fortune, and then through the compass orientation, you will find where we want to find, but it's the Star feng shui large variety of schools, each with permissive, there is no lack of them contradictory, and the vast Sand Sea in the historic , only after the millennium, to have 23% chance of finding the good.
Professor Chen heard here, happy to stand up, said: "Comrade Hu put good, Heaven eyes open, ah, finally is sent to you so give us a talent. In the desert of Xinjiang, the interval of the millennium, or even a few millennium, the marshes, the former oasis and cities have become a vast Sand Sea, mountains, rivers have disappeared, if we want to find that the tomb of the ancient Silk Road, relying on the Star feng shui of the technique is the most simple and effective way to . I said, you two, from now on, officially join our group of archaeological work. "
Patriotic Hao also came and we shook hands warmly on the unreasonable just apologized: "Sorry Sorry, we are the intellectuals are the stinking ninth category, during the Cultural Revolution so many years, have been kiln in the squat, squat silly, and not too much talking, do not care. "
I remind myself how lucky: "hey, I also know so much, and goes on to say that non exposed his true features can not be. Star Feng Shui rare can not imagine that I see do not quite understand, but you must have knowledge of these wear glasses elements, but also unable to withstand the harsh desert environment, the test must go back after not take two days to run. In addition, I exaggerated to put the probability of finding remains extremely low, could not be found, then it is not I do not know the responsibility of the Star feng shui, but our wages, can be a sub-Less. "
I was going to have pride, in another room came a young woman, Chen quickly for us to introductions: "Let the Miss Yang is the funding that funders of this activity, she also accompanied Let's go, you do not look she is a woman children, but the famous American "National Geographic" magazine photographer ah. "
I made a gentleman-like, shook hands with her, I think the other side since it is American, I takes a people to speak English ah, hello, how to say that? Seems to be: "Ha ... ha ... ha ... ... leakage."
Miss Yang smiled: "Mr. Hu, I would say in Chinese, let's talk, or to use in Chinese bar. Your future you can call me Shirley Young has." Did not think she Putonghua is very good, no one put up an American accent, as the United States What kind of accent, in fact I did not a concept, anyway, that she and the Chinese people are not different.
Shirley Young and the fat they shook hands, and then put forward a question, Mr. Wang Kaixuan (fat) is an up and Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu's ability and great command of troops, but also to understand the Star feng shui, however, Mr. Wang What skill, and we have not had that experience before. Trip to the desert adventure, stake, we do not need skilled people is not unique.
I did not think the Americans say so directly, everyone all together looked fat, I hastened to him said: "the desert is not at peace, my friend, good marksmanship."
See that look down on fat American women themselves, to Zuiyi Pie, gas hum said: "What kind of balance in Xinjiang, when I went to lord over the Xinjiang desert, destroy bandits, bandits Pigunniaoliu twists in the Niya oasis, but also personally killed a bandit chieftain . you look, this is war booty. "Upon saying this, took out a piece of jade body posts front of a flash in everyone,"'ve seen do you? "
I am just straight grin, thinking this idiot, to say the lies were said it was not round, you put your father's generation's heroic deeds that have an on his head, and also his mother's to Xinjiang, bandits, bandits had never been seen you also wear open crotch pants do, you say you eat pretty much the same in Xinjiang Lamb Skewers. By now, it seems I can shamelessly, and if you do not take fat to go, I did not go, it is estimated that they last only a compromise.
However, no one refute Professor Chan and Shirley Young's eyes are attracted to fat in the hands of jade, jade fat man holding the hand where their eyes Jiugen where even the eyes are reluctant to blink.
Shirley Young obese participants did not agree with the archaeological team, but since the saw fat jade ornaments, she would not hesitate to promise to give us two each of ten thousand dollars in reward, if you can find absolutely fine ancient heart of the desert, more pay doubled. But the money have to wait until after we came back from Xinjiang in order to fulfill.
Large gold teeth had also seen the fat of the jade in his seasoned, and Qiao Buchu that the origins of jade. Not as good as him in this regard, Professor Chan, who know what's what, after all, big gold teeth are Daoteng gadgets, the Professor Chen ancient Western Regions Cultural Studies immersed for decades, Shirley Yang's father and his friend, Shirley Yang childhood influenced by the family environment, history and other things of the Western Region is also a semi-expert, so the two of them read a piece of jade on the Qiaochu doorways come.
Chen thinks that this piece of jade to the two thousand years at least fifteen hundred years of history, the text is inscribed above the Ghost Cave Man. Ghost Cave is an ancient Western Regions of the minorities, and now the nation already extinct, according to a number of Dunhuang records from Queen of the country is absolutely fine ghost hole tribe, while the jade on the 10-hole ghost writing, whether it is What is the content, but also requires further verified.
Professor Chan and Shirley Yeung's father, the Western Regions are obsessed culture, this once-booming China and the United States absolutely fine the city can be said that the Western Regions leader in 36 countries, peak period, rare in the Western Regions of their horses, and later states seems to have a major disaster, the Queen is dead, since the ancient city disappeared.
The glory of the past has been buried in yellow sand, to prove that it ever existed, the clues, only a few scattered records in the ancient literature and legends of the Western Regions precision must be the first beauty queen, she is like sun in the sky, the appearance of her Stars and the Moon eclipsed.
Shirley Yang's father is to find the queen's mausoleum, Sino-US scholars, a total of five-member expedition, carrying the top equipment, deep into the Sand Sea, but it never came back.
The operation, a person is a tomb in the desert to conduct on-site assessment and investigation; both also want to take a chance to see if it can find the remains of five explorers, to be buried properly.
Shirley Young wanted to buy jade in the hands of fat and I think valuable commodity fat, bite the do not sell, secretly total number of dollars to slaughter her.
We joined the Zhezhi formed by scholars and members of the expedition photographer, I am mixed on the leader, deputy team leader on the fat mixture. Go to the desert thing, it is so finalized.
Westbound train, speeding in the vast western land, I and fat in the sleeping carriage sleeping Tianhundian, our first stop is Xi'an, where they would like to join Professor Chan joined a few students, then go to Urumqi, the expedition Equipment will be directly checked there.
Hao patriotism come in, let the fat man's stinky lovers a month Xunde almost fall, he pushed me awake: "Hu comrades, wake up, wake up, find your professors to discuss something, come look at it."
I looked out the window the sky is still bright, and do not know a few, have sleep confused, put on clothes to follow the patriotic Hao went to the next.
Professor Chan and Shirley Yeung are reading the map, to see me come in, they greeted me to sit down, Hao patriotic to me pour a glass of hot water, I asked them what happened.
Professor Chan said: "Let's be able to Xi'an tomorrow morning, and connected to my three students, even if all persons in attendance. You are Let's captain, would like to discuss the matter in advance with your line of problems."
Shirley Young is also adjacent to, said: "Yes, Mr. Hu, a professor and I discussed, and plans to start Bosten Lake south to find the ancient Kongquehe river, and then, through the depths of the ancient Kongquehe river into the desert, along the dark alone in Henan hereby and finding absolutely fine ancient monuments, we would like to seek your opinion about. "
My heart felt funny, these intellectuals and the wealthy, on paper whimsical, you have such a walk is tantamount to the Gobi desert in beating about the bush, how can people dare to walk in the desert Z-shaped route, if not thirst starve to death Shaisi, to finally too worn out. But I have always thought that these people belong to more money that they burn, and fed the stays, and be properly date, however, have to go to the desert Zaozui to specify not take two or three days, you have cried shouted back, so what route, and not important, go back later to give money to me on the list.
I'm Shirley Young, said: "Miss Yang Tai, although I am a coach, but the arrangements for the march route, I have not eligible to participate in the decision, you have established good lines and goals, I am responsible to everyone to receive the local, in other words, you , the treasurer of the working, we, the coolies Ganhuo. "
Huayichukou, I have a little regret, as the saying goes, money and people Helenians and misfortunes, people spend money on hiring me and of course I have to do that part, so I told them, on the line matters, have to wait to the Xinjiang after the find home-grown local guide to solicit the views of what he then decided that a little bit too early to say now, looking for the wizard thing wrapped in me.
Everyone has to discuss some details, and then went to their rest, this time in the conversation on the train, I vaguely felt that people like them, great determination, does not necessarily have to go into the desert just a few days back.
In Xi'an to see the rest of our archaeological team members are Professor Chan belt students, looks simple Satyam Peng, tall Chu Jian, as well as a female student leaves are also heart.
Coupled with the previous five individuals, a total of eight. Arrived in Xinjiang, I contacted a former comrade in arms in the armed forces Liu Gang, who is into the 359 Brigade of the Xinjiang military offspring, born and brought up in Xinjiang, but he is not very familiar with the locals wanted to know the desert to find a local geography wizard is not easy, and finally by Liu Gang's friends, found a cattle business to do the elderly.
The name of the elderly have no one cried out, people called him an edge over, which means living in the desert maps.
An old man Diaozhe Yan Li Man-bag, a non-stop shaking his head: "No, No, now Well the wind season, into the desert Well, Hu His Honor, which was to blame down the Well."
We Ruanmoyingpao, I asked Professor Chen presented documents, I told him that we sent down the work of national cadres, local comrades must be co-An Li Man If you do not give us as guide, we find the police, Put your camels and donkeys were confiscated, so that you do business.
Shirley Young also told him that our guide, as long as you do, you have all of the animals, I put double the price to buy down, and so to come back from the desert, these animals, or your money is yours.
An edge over helpless old man, only to be down, but he made one request: "The car Well do not open, Hu did not like robots, camels Well lot of zone, Hu likes camel."
In this session, I and an edge over the old man's view, the camel in the desert is much more than the car to be reliable.
An old man selected to power over 20 camels, starting the day and make our equipment and materials are housed on the hump, and then with
On a large number of bean cake and salt, fat side of things to help him move side asked: "Father, 咱 in the desert eat bean and the salt? This does not sharpen your thirsty do?,"
An edge over the old man laughed: "Oh, my Uli An Giang (sturdy friend), Well, you eat is also possible, but Hu that these Well, it should be left to the camel to eat citizenship."
An edge over the old man told us that we are now the season is the most dangerous in the desert when the night from Bosten Lake to the west city ruins, which the previous section of the road, there is also the Gobi desert, but fortunately there are Kongquehe connected to the ancient river, less than difficult to identify, but Wang Shenchu want to go, can not find're alone underground river, then it depends on the wishes of the Hu.
We Zhezhi nine-member team, not so much archaeological team, I would rather say that old-time Tuodui, food carrying amount, about less than a month to maintain, clean water sufficient to meet 10 days in the halfway of the few oasis as well as the underground river, you can also add fresh water. There are also several large leather bag yogurt soup, too thirsty in the desert can not stand when a thirst-quenching drink that can top off 10 of water. Coupled with a variety of facilities and equipment of the expedition, making the negative weight of each camel have a very moving time, staff can only rely on two legs, take half of the road, riding half of the camel.
