Chapter 010: Old Hei

It is said that the bronze mirror is a demon-repelling mirror from the Western Zhou period. Someone offered this amount... 300,000, but Jun Ge firmly wouldn't let me sell it. By the way, Qian Ge, I will be going out with Jun Ge tomorrow morning. Lao Wei said it would take at least half a month to return, so Qian Ge, you must cherish the good times!

Ah? No way, is Hu Lu's uncle the old fox? Biological uncle?

I first found Mutu and wanted to inquire about how they discovered those treasures

Who exactly is it? It seems that his uncle is quite adorable

It can't possibly be Old Wei, can it

However, what I did not expect was that they returned after fifteen days. Everyone came back with a full load.

While envying them, I truly find it puzzling: history books clearly tell us that there cannot be treasures in desolate places, so how is it that treasures can still be unearthed? I have genuinely begun to doubt the history books and those so-called historians.

Brother Jun's guess is somewhat creative, but the creativity is not intense enough

However, what is astonishing is that they returned in just ten days, once again coming back fully loaded

"Brother Qian, that is Lao Hei, and his name is Hei Wa"

Mu Tu shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I believe everything, except for what you just said!"

Tongwan City enjoyed a brief period of glory lasting only a few decades before being destroyed by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei

Xiaoyue and I spent the entire day working in the shop at the cultural relics market https://m.hetushu.com.com

Not only cute, but also a bit shocking—old fox!

"So, you have excavated the tomb of the King of Nanping?"

As soon as Hei Wa entered the room, he took out a piece of paper: "Jun Ge, look, I had Hu Lu draw a map for us. The place we went to last time is actually Dongshan Liang, which is thirty kilometers away, and there is also a West Mountain Ridge; both ridges are called Qingyun Mountain. Dongshan Liang has been a vital passage for merchants traveling through Lvliang Mountain since ancient times, but West Mountain Ridge is steep, and very few merchants pass through there. When people refer to Qingyun Mountain, they specifically mean Dongshan Liang."

In Tongwan City, Lao Wei discovered a group of tombs beneath the terrace at the southern foot of the city.

Who is Lao Hei? Is he one of you?

In the span of seven thousand years of Chinese civilization, it is indeed difficult for Qingyun Mountain to be recorded in any significant way.

At this point, I truly cannot help but have my doubts

Mutu followed Yao Jun out for the second time, which was equally unexpected for me

Yao Jun said that Old Wei has the sharpest eyes. He acquired a valuable piece of gold jewelry, and when he was in Xi'an, someone offered him one million, but he refused to sell it no matter what. As a result, when he woke up in the hotel, the gold jewelry had vanished without a trace. However, Old Wei felt no regret at all, firmly believing that what does not belong to him should not be his, and there is nothing to regret.

Brother Qian, you may not be aware that there are many things underground, and they are not necessarily buried in Chang'an, Anyang, or Mangshan... Many times, treasures may have been buried haphazardly by their owners during their escape; some places, which were once very prosperous, have forever vanished from our sight due to a mountain flood or a mudslide. To find those things often relies more on luck and serendipity... For instance, this time, it was a few young men selling porcelain who inadvertently let slip some information, allowing Old Hei to follow the clues and locate that large tomb at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

Their second visit was to Qingyun Mountain in Datong. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that Qingyun Mountain has been a desolate and barren land since ancient mythological times

Many come to watch the excitement, but there are few who actually spend money. Who doesn't know now that there are hardly any genuine products on the market? ... They are all counterfeit or gray market goods, at best just slightly better imitations, making the fakes look more realistic ... . ... No matter how realistic they appear, they are still counterfeit.

In the cultural relics market, after 3 PM, there are basically no people left. We tidied up the shelves early and then closed the door to go home. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Mutu sitting at the computer desk, intently searching for information.

The desolation and remoteness you speak of pertains to the present. Wasn't the ancient Western Regions, the Sixteen Kingdoms, now buried beneath a heap of yellow sand? This does not signify anything. Weren't you often lamenting in the past: sometimes, a single earthquake, a flash flood, or a war can completely destroy a civilization

In funeral culture, it is only natural that burial items are included as accompanying offerings... This is the ultimate goal of tomb raiders

Indeed. Lao Hei mentioned that a few individuals were holding several pieces of ancient jade, and they were in Panjiayuan asking around for prices, which led to their involvement with them. They had all previously worked as miners in the same coal mine at Qingyun Mountain in Datong. During the excavation of a neighboring mine, some scattered pieces of gold, silver, and jade were discovered, and further digging unexpectedly unearthed a pile of bones. The mine owner was a very superstitious person; he ordered the tunnels and mine to be filled in again and invited a group of monks to chant scriptures near the mine for three days to perform a ritual for the souls of the deceased. The coal mine where those individuals worked was very close to that abandoned well, and they occasionally unearthed bones as well. Although various stories circulated among the workers, they preferred to believe that the area had either once been an ancient battlefield or that there was a large cemetery underground. You see, since someone had found pieces of gold, silver, and jade, it indicated a higher likelihood of a cemetery in that area. Lao Hei noted down the name and approximate location of the mine, and later, upon checking the information on hetushu.com, he discovered that Qingyun Mountain was the burial site of a Northern Wei prince, the Southern Ping Wang.

What are you so engrossed in? Did you gain anything today

There is no need for you to worry about this. May I ask where you plan to go to make a fortune

What kind of person was the Southern Prince of the Northern Wei? Since he was a great king, how could he possibly be buried in such a remote and desolate place

Mu Tu also brought me several treasures. Among them, one item I placed in the shop at Panjiayuan; it was just put on the shelf in the morning and sold by noon. It was quickly turned over for a Hyundai Elantra.

Therefore, I have no hope for their expedition to Tongwancheng this time

Despite Mu Tu keeping his voice very low, Yao Yue still heard him: "Mu Tu, you also do this? Digging up other people's graves, aren't you afraid of attracting ghosts?"

I found it. Can you guess who his uncle is

Tongwan City. Fifteen hundred years ago, the ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom, one of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Helian Bobo, spent seven years constructing a grand earthen city by the lush banks of the Wuding River, using rammed earth to build walls. He named it Tongwan City, signifying the unification and governance of all directions, and established it as the capital of the Xiongnu Great Xia Kingdom

Yao Yue touched her neck, hesitated as words lingered on her lips, and then turned to go upstairs. ... The way she looked: it seemed as if there were truly ghosts in this world ... ... Moreover, she appeared to have seen one with her own eyes ... ...

Hmm. By the way, didn't you go to wwwhetushu.com to accompany the gourd in search of his uncle? Did you find him

At this moment, Yao Jun returned, followed by a dark-skinned young man.

No, we did not find the tomb of the King of Nanping at all. Instead, we inadvertently excavated another tomb, which likely belongs to a Liu surname prince from the late Western Han period; we have searched through historical records and have not found the exact location of the large tomb of the King of Nanping from the Northern Wei dynasty

What constitutes a matter of concern, and what is considered trivial

Please, if you don't know, don't speak carelessly! In any case, there are indeed ghosts in this world, you must believe me when I say this!

Your brother is fine too; it's all just a bluff! In fact, I said that on purpose; I was echoing what Yao Yue said. I believe there is something mysterious about Yao Jun as well.

Dear Uncle

"Having issues is like being possessed by a ghost. Didn't you say that digging up someone's grave would attract ghosts? Yet, I haven't seen your brother being possessed by a ghost, have I?"

In just three days, Yao Jun and Mu Tu completed the handling of the spoils in their possession. Old Wei said that the items obtained from below should be sold off quickly; otherwise, prolonged delays could lead to complications and unforeseen issues.

In theory, it is impossible for Tongwancheng to create any brilliant civilization within a short span of several decades... The scope of civilization encompasses a very broad range, including not only the economic, political, cultural, technological, medical, and architectural aspects that we are familiar with... but also the burial culture and burial system of that time and place.
