Chapter 590

This golden bronze statue with a Buddha crown on its head, 4 arms and law enforcement devices, and 3 eyes on its first head is shining with silver light, crystal clear... In this quiet and narrow space, it exudes a deep and deep light...

"Oh, Maigard, yes... yes..." Steven also became excited, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from his mouth - "Guge Silver Eye."

"Yes, Gu-Ge-Silver-Eyes."

The legendary Guge Kingdom was known for its expertise in smelting and gold and silverware manufacturing. At that time, the metal Buddha statues and ritual utensils of the 24 monasteries under Ali Sanwei, with Tuolin Temple as the main temple, were all cast by Luba.It is said that the Buddha statues cast by Luba are made of different materials such as gold, silver, and copper.Among them, the most amazing one is a bronze statue called "Guge Silver Eye", which can only be made by Guge, and it is regarded as a fine product among Buddha statues. Because it is rarely handed down in the world, it is especially rare.For a long time, no one knew what it was.It was not until ten years ago that the archaeological team unearthed an exquisite bronze statue during the archaeological excavation of the Dukang Hall at the Piyang site, that the mystery of the "Guge Silver Eye" was finally revealed.The Buddha statue wears a Buddha crown, 4 arms and 3 eyes, which are the so-called "Guge Silver Eyes".

The two couldn't restrain the excitement in their hearts, put on gloves, and carefully touched the Buddha statue——

Although Steven and Yarchkov have only seen the photos and never seen the real Guge Silver Eye, the Buddha statue in front of them is almost certainly Guge Silver Eye, because it is exactly the same as the photo.

"With this Guge silver eye, it can explain why the portraits outside appeared here. They are Guge people. And these murals should be Guge murals, which are similar to those found on the ruins of the Guge Dynasty before. The murals are the same."

According to information: In the middle of the ninth century, the ninth king of the Tubo Dynasty, Zanplan Dama, was killed, and his great-grandson fled to the AL region.Around the tenth century AD, its descendants established the Guge Kingdom and created a splendid civilization in the nearly 700-year history. In 1630, the Ladakhs invaded and wiped out Guge.

However, according to the records, the massacre and plunder caused by the war is not enough to destroy the ancient civilization, but the disappearance of the ancient civilization and the Mayan civilization have striking similarities, both of which happened very suddenly.

The ruins of the Guge Kingdom are located on a dirt hill in the AL area.It was established in the first half of the 10th century AD, and there were 16 hereditary kings before and after.The palace and castle were continuously expanded from the 10th to the 16th centuries.Covering an area of ​​about 18 square meters, it is more than 300 meters high from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are more than 600 houses, pagodas and caves all over the mountain, forming a huge ancient building complex.The first person to investigate the ruins of this ancient city was the Englishman McWorth Young. In 1912, he traveled up the Xiangquan River from India and came here for investigation.Since then, explorers, travelers, photographers and artists have come to explore the wonders and seclusion.But the real scientific investigation began in 1985 with the investigation team organized by the Culture Management Committee.

The largest and most complete remains on the site are its murals.

Guge murals are the masterpieces of Guge art. Although they have been sleeping for centuries, they are still radiant today.These murals include Buddhist stories, myths and legends, as well as the production and life scenes of the Guge people at that time, and are very rich in content.

The murals in Guge are magnificent and unique in style, comprehensively reflecting all aspects of social life at that time.The characters painted have outstanding personalities, and the plump and dynamic female characters are especially representative.Due to its geographical location and the influence of various foreign cultures, Guge's artistic style has obvious characteristics of Kashmir and Gandhara art.

Through these gorgeous and colorful pictures, it is not difficult for people to peek into the political and economic activities and cultural customs of the Guge Dynasty in the past, and to trace the history of the prosperity and demise of the Guge Dynasty.

Such a scene can often be seen near today's ruins: more than ten families guard a city that can accommodate thousands of people, and these more than ten families are not descendants of Guge.So how did the [-] Guge people disappear without a trace?

Today, the vast ruins of the Guge Kingdom, the magical "Guge Silver Eye", the headless mummy cave and countless ancient treasures attract archaeologists to explore.But why the ancient civilization suddenly disappeared is still a mystery.

----

"Can these discoveries explain the reason for the disappearance of the Guge civilization?" Yarchkov said excitedly, "I guess this is their refuge. When the war broke out, most of the Guge people and their gold and silver treasures were transferred. Here, they waited for the war and then went out, but for some reason they were never able to go out again, which also explained——'The giant country with a population of 100,000 people was invaded by the Ladakhs in 1635 It disappeared in an instant during the war. Why did it disappear so suddenly? Why did the [-] people disappear without a trace?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people! Steven, this shows that there are not many caves where Tibetans hide treasures down here."

Both finding the treasure and being able to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient civilization made Steven and Yarchkov extremely excited.

In the room on the top of the travel agency building, Yang Hong was nervously staring at the two shining red dots on the computer screen. The positioning system showed that the boss Sanji and the others were still at the location of the holy mountain.

It's just that the two red dots are still separated by a certain distance.

Yang Hong knew that one watch phone was in Zhu Yan's hands and the other was in Guo Qiqi's hands.

Zhu Yan was with the boss.So the position of the red dot is constantly moving and changing.

And Guo Qiqi and Xu Feng stayed outside.The red dot has not changed.

Judging from Zhu Yan's location, it should be in the hinterland of the mountain.

However, it has passed the agreed time every day, and I have not received any news from Sangji. Sangji and Yang Hong previously agreed that except for special circumstances, 12:12 noon and [-]:[-] p.m. are regular contact times.

Yang Hong tried to call Sangji again and again, but the phone was turned off.

And Wang Kai's is the same.

The same goes for Zhu Yan's satellite phone.

Are they all off?

At this moment, a message was displayed on the computer screen, it was connected, and it was Mr. Chen on the screen.

Mr. Chen asked: "What's the situation now? How is it? Haven't you contacted me yet?"

Yang Hong shook his head, "No. I don't know if it's inconvenient to contact them, or are they in some danger?"

No matter what the situation is, it is not a good thing, and it makes them very worried.

Last contact was last night.

Sangji told him that they had followed the investigation team into the underground secret passage, and would closely monitor the investigation team's every move.And it was already afternoon, and it had been several hours since their agreed contact time.And there are still several hours before 12 o'clock in the evening, but they still can't get in touch, which is really frustrating.

"Could they have been discovered by the inspection team?" Mr. Chen was also worried.

Yang Hong: "Probably not yet. I have been observing. The positioning system shows that they have been moving, which means they are safe. If they haven't moved for a long time, you have to consider whether..."

Since Sangji and the others entered the Shenshan area and sent back many photos of the inspection team, these photos were immediately forwarded by Yang Hong to Mr. Chen, and at the same time passed to the desks of relevant people, and at the same time received instructions from above : Close contact and close attention.So Mr. Chen will come to ask about Sangji's progress at any time.

"Do you want me to go for a trip?" Yang Hong suggested.

Mr. Chen: "Where are the other two people who are responding outside, can you get in touch?"

Yang Hong: "I hope she turns on the phone."

He also contacted Guo Qiqi before, but the phone was also turned off.

So I called Guo Qiqi's satellite phone again.

Fortunately, it was connected this time.

Guo Qiqi gave a feed.

"I'm Yang Hong, don't turn off the phone, keep the communication open. I haven't been in touch with the boss. Is there anything unusual on your side?"

Guo Qiqi: "After Zhu Zhu and the others went in, someone else went in with equipment. But no one has come out so far, probably looking for treasure."

Xu Feng asked from the side: "Do you need us to go in?"

Mr. Chen said next to him: "No. From now on, the investigation team will be handed over to special personnel. Special commissioners and archaeological experts will fly to the Shenshan area by helicopter tonight. Your job is to continue to get in touch with Sangji , If you have any important news, report directly to the special commissioner, this is the special commissioner's contact information."

"Understood." Xu Feng and Yang Hong and Guo Qiqi replied in unison.Hearing what Mr. Chen said, they knew in their hearts that the higher authorities sent special personnel to follow up, indicating that the incident had escalated.They couldn't help but worry more about the safety of Sangji Wang Kai Zhuyan and the others.
