Instruct the archaeological team, and say that he is not a tomb robber

And some traces that have not been erased when some archaeological teams first came to excavate.

In the cave, you can even see brushes covered with a thick layer of dust, as well as tattered towels whose color cannot be seen clearly.

"They left in such a hurry!"

Professor Zhou frowned, picked up a drawing from the ground, and gently blew away the dust.

"Even some tools for work were thrown here before they could be saved! It seems that some weird things did happen here at that time!"

"It's even... probably quite different from what we know!"

Professor Zhou looked around at the archaeological team, and after confirming that there were not many people, he led them into the grotto.

Very surprised,

It was unexpectedly cool in this grotto.

Entering this grotto is like entering another world, which is obviously very different from the temperature outside which is so hot that the air is distorted in the desert.

along the way,

Everyone saw countless exquisite murals on the grotto.

Although they have spent nearly a thousand years here, they are still not corroded, and they are still colorful.

Whether it is the Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, or the Nine Buddhas Discussing the Tao, the murals of the Buddha preaching scriptures are all vividly depicted.

There are even murals of one man and one woman, two men and one woman... up to five men and one woman in Tantric men and women, and the lines and colors are also exquisite.

Ye Xiao glanced at it quietly, but for no reason, he remembered the divination results of the six-yao turtle shell in his mind.

"As expected of...'a great omen of evil'!"

Ye Xiao sighed in his heart.

There are countless murals here, as well as stone pagodas carved on the walls, and ascetic monks sitting withered.

There are also Uighur Mongolian, Sanskrit and Tibetan titles on the wall, all of which have extremely high historical, cultural and artistic value.

Together with the stone wall stripped off, and sold on the outside black market, any one of them is definitely a sky-high price.

It's a pity that Professor Zhou, who is full of love for archeology, seems to have changed his personality this time.

He didn't seem to be interested in the things on the murals in front of him, and it was a waste of time to even glance at them.

As soon as they entered the grotto, they led people through the grotto very purposefully, as if they were looking for something.

After a while, everyone passed through the grotto and came to a stone ladder carved on a stone wall inside.

"Climb here, the temple above is where Genghis Khan once lived!"

"It was also the place where the Mongolian nobles paid homage to Genghis Khan!"

"Unfortunately, because of that incident, this place is completely ruined!"

Professor Zhou was talking to himself, and at the same time tested whether the stone ladder in front of him was safe and could bear the weight of a ground dweller.

After a while, Professor Zhou didn't hesitate at all.

He stepped onto the stairs directly, and climbed up to the high platform of the stone ladder step by step.

Two soldiers followed closely behind, protecting Professor Zhou's safety.

Until finally, Professor Da Zhou climbed the last stone ladder and pushed open the wooden door that was simply covered with wood.

An extremely thick rotten smell of smoke and dust rushed towards his face.

……

After a while, everyone, including the soldiers, climbed the stone steps and came to the Buddhist hall above.

It's not the same as people imagined,

In this Buddhist temple, it is not as colorful and gorgeous as everyone thinks.

Apart from a few murals on the wall of the main hall, six stone carvings in front of the wall, and a tribute platform, there seems to be nothing else.

"These six stone sculptures should be Genghis Khan, his wife, and four sons, right?"

Ye Xiao looked at this stone sculpture waiting for others, and guessed.

Ye Xiao knew Genghis Khan, the legendary Mongolian king, in his previous life.

Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was hunting, he accidentally fell off his horse and was trampled by the horse, vomiting blood and died due to his old age, frailty and pain.

These statues were carved by local Buddhist temples for the Mongolian nobles to worship.

but,

Professor Zhou seems to have no interest in these stone sculptures.

He searched back and forth in the hall, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Immediately, he stood still before a mural, and carefully took out a piece of silk cloth from his backpack.

Ye Xiao's pupils shrank slightly.

This cloth is naturally the cloth in the brocade wooden box, which records the clues of Genghis Khan's tomb.

Coming to Professor Zhou's side, Ye Xiao looked at the murals on the wall and was not only slightly taken aback.

"On this mural..."

Ye Xiao said as if asking.

Professor Zhou on the side already had a face full of joy, and said in surprise:

"Before I came, I went to a professor who was here before and participated in the excavation."

"It was he who told me that there is a mural recording the burial of Genghis Khan in this Buddhist temple."

"It's just that they left in a hurry at the time, and they didn't have time to take anything away from it in the future. Even many of the tools at that time were left here!"

"Now, we are also taking advantage of the shade of our predecessors!"

As he spoke, Professor Zhou spread out the cloth in his hands and began to compare it with the patterns on the murals.

This mural has a trapezoidal structure, with mountains, rivers, and fields painted on the top two floors, and scenes of two armies confronting each other and fighting fiercely are painted in prominent positions!

It should be a scene showing Genghis Khan leading troops in battle.

The upper part of the mural depicts two white yurts with towering spires. On the left side there is a temple and a palace, and a woman is painted in the palace, as if she is crying.

This is a picture showing the grief of Mrs. Ye Sui who accompanied Genghis Khan's death.

On the Internet, at the top of this trapezoidal mural, the things drawn are somewhat intriguing.

……

Chapter 167 The Secret of Genghis Khan

Above the mural is the scene of everyone kneeling by the long river and bowing to the front.

And in front of everyone kneeling down, there is a white Bactrian camel, tall and handsome.

This dark river is also a strange place for everyone.

You know, this is a big desert north of the Great Wall, and there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles.

Not to mention rivers, even a well could not be found.

The sudden appearance of this long river here really made the archaeological experts who came here to excavate at that time a little puzzled.

At that time, everyone thought it was just a local custom of bowing down.

But Professor Zhou combined the white camel he saw under the moonlight and the silk book in his hand.

All of a sudden, some clues were found.

"This... this black thread on the silk..."

Professor Zhou suddenly became excited, and the stubble on his face trembled with excitement.

Pointing to a black silk thread embroidered on the silk cloth, he couldn't help but say:

"This thread should be... the river mentioned on the mural!"

"As long as we find this river, we will be able to find the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan!"

Professor Zhou's voice became louder in decibels because of his excitement.

Everyone present heard Professor Zhou's words and ran to Professor Zhou's side one after another.

"Teacher, have you found any clues?"

Miao Feng came to Professor Zhou's side first, and asked impatiently.

Professor Zhou nodded, pointed to the river above the trapezoidal mural, then pointed to the silk cloth in his hand, and said:

"found it!"

"We studied it for a long time and put forward countless guesses, but we didn't expect that the black silk thread on this silk book is a river!"

"It means that Genghis Khan's mausoleum was built next to a certain river!"

Professor Zhou's voice began to tremble a little.

The rest of the archaeologists couldn't help but burst into joy when they heard Professor Zhou's words.

But then, everyone suddenly came back to their senses.

"Wait a minute... that's not right!"

"This is an uninhabited desert for hundreds of miles. How could there be a river?"

Once this question was raised, everyone couldn't help but fell into a deep silence.

Even Professor Zhou couldn't help but pause and fell into deep thought.

But Ye Xiao stroked his chin, and had some ideas in his mind!

"Although this is a desert, it is not impossible to say that there are rivers!"

As soon as Ye Xiao uttered a word, the words were not shocking and he couldn't stop dying.

Everyone present, including Professor Zhou, heard Ye Xiao's words, and immediately turned their eyes to Ye Xiao.

"Xiaoye, what do you mean...?"
