Chapter 1216 A Life-Long Masterpiece

Li Mo approached quickly. He wanted to take a closer look at what was depicted on the gold tablet on the wall. The cultural relics that can be judged as rare treasures by Yitong are definitely not just leaving irregular lines on the gold pieces, they must have profound meanings.

When he really got closer and took a closer look, his eyes suddenly lit up. From a distance, the surface of the gold piece is full of messy lines, but when you look at it from here, the countless lines form a vivid picture.

This was the first time he had encountered carvings on gold tablets. This was an unprecedented discovery.

The first chiseled gold painting that Li Mo saw was a carving of a strong and mighty man sitting on a high throne. Below him, two rows of fully armed generals sat in sequence. Behind each general, They all have a battle flag and two identical guards.

They seemed to be holding a meeting of generals. Li Mo's eyes moved on this engraved gold painting. There were some Mongolian characters in the corner. He was not proficient in Mongolian and only recognized four of them. The translation is 'Genghis Khan' , if you want to know what the remaining Mongolian words mean, you have to wait for experts in this field to come in.

Li Mo touched his chin. What did this carved gold painting mean? Unable to figure it out, he then moved forward to look at the other engraved gold paintings. The scene engraved on the second gold painting was many times grander, and he understood the meaning at a glance.

This is a picture of a war scene.

Li Mo looked forward to two more paintings, all of which were gold paintings of war. He suddenly returned to the first gold painting, and this time he understood something. He thought of historical records. In 1206, Temujin held a meeting of generals and he was elected as 'Genghis Khan', which means 'Emperor of the World'.

After the meeting, Genghis Khan divided the entire Mongolia into 995 thousand households and built an army of 10,000 men to serve as the military pillar of the regime. Set up a judge to be in charge of administrative and judicial affairs. He promoted Uyghur Mongolian script throughout the country and made it the national script. Under the rule of Genghis Khan, the boundaries between tribes on the Mongolian plateau gradually disappeared, and the Mongolian national community began to form.

Thinking of this, Li Mo combined it with the previously carved gold paintings and realized that the pictures on these gold paintings represented the life of Genghis Khan.

He looked at seven more gold paintings and confirmed that his inference was correct. That’s awesome. The stone walls of this palace are covered with gold paintings all week long. This is an extremely huge project. It is hard to imagine how many skilled craftsmen were used to carve such a lifelike picture on the gold piece.

As a result, the amount of manpower and material resources required to complete the entire underground secret palace project is immeasurable. Finally, it must be buried underground and become a permanent secret. God knows how many people will be silenced in the end.

Li Mo sighed secretly. He looked around and saw that the walkie-talkie in his hand had interacted with him several times, reminding him that it had taken too long to come in.

As long as such a large masterpiece is displayed to the outside world, it will cause a greater sensation than the terracotta warriors and horses of the First Emperor.

Even though Li Mo was used to seeing countless Chinese treasures, at this moment he couldn't help but his heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't control his excitement. Genghis Khan is worthy of being a genius of his generation. His greatness not only founded the Mongol Empire, but even the secret palace left behind after his death has amazed future generations.

As for the scattered wooden boxes, Li Mo didn't check them carefully. He felt very uncomfortable after staying in this poorly ventilated palace for a long time, especially his eyes, which were so sore.

Everyone waited outside for nearly an hour before they saw Li Mo walking out of the deputy palace.

"Master, you took so long to go in, we were all worried to death." Yan Yangyang stepped forward and said softly.

Li Mo smiled and said, "I was watching a historical movie inside and accidentally forgot the time."

"Historical movie?"

Zhang Tie'an was a little puzzled. What kind of historical movie was there in this underground secret palace? Why did it sound a bit weird?

"When you go in, you will understand what I mean. The trap inside is similar to the trap in the deputy palace on the right, except that it is wider and more dangerous. According to the previous process, first let the trap inside The air should be thoroughly circulated, and then go into safety protection work. Until everyone's safety can be guaranteed, you can go in and find out the truth. I believe you will also be addicted to it."

Sima Haotian said dumbfounded: "Academician Li, you might as well not say anything. It makes me feel itchy and I wish I could go in now to find out."

"Haha, Academician Li has whetted everyone's appetite, but I'm looking forward to it very much."

"To be rated so highly by Academician Li, the treasures inside must be unprecedented."

Li Mo clasped his fists at the crowd and said, "Why don't we go out for a breather and rest, bask in the sun, ride horses and relax."

All the staff present went out, engineers began to come on stage, ventilation equipment was set up, and lighting began to be set up at the same time.

"Academician Li, please tell me what kind of valuable treasure is found in the underground palace? If you don't tell me, I will feel uncomfortable. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder."

When they got outside, Sima Haotian whispered, and Yan Yangyang beside him also curiously moved closer to listen.

"If I tell you now, you might feel even more uncomfortable, so I won't say it anymore."

Sima Haotian immediately promised: "No, if you tell me, I won't have anything to worry about."

Li Mo turned to look at him, nodded slightly and said: "The stone walls of the underground palace are covered with a week's worth of gold paintings, which use exquisite carving techniques and depict the legendary and great life of Genghis Khan. In my opinion, that It is truly a masterpiece, a world wonder, and its value is probably unparalleled in the world."

Yan Yangyang's bright red mouth opened slightly, her face full of disbelief. Sima Haotian, on the other hand, had a dull look on his face. After a while, he suppressed his voice and screamed: "It's over. It's really over. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you reveal the secrets in the underground palace. I feel even more uncomfortable now. I can’t even wait.”

Li Mo shrugged, reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Professor Sima, persistence is victory."

After nearly forty minutes of ventilation, everyone who had been impatient for a long time entered the auxiliary palace on the left. Under the illumination of many lights, everyone was dazzled by the golden light in front of them. The stone walls surrounding the entire underground palace are covered with gold flakes. You can imagine how much your heart was shocked when you first entered.

Li Mo didn't go in, let them soak in it for a while. He originally wanted Yangyang to stay and accompany him for a walk on the prairie, enjoying the grassland wind, but as soon as he turned around, she and Sima Haotian ran away. Taking down the assembled gold pieces on the stone wall one by one is a delicate job, which requires more effort than sorting and counting the porcelain and jade.

"Li Mo, your previous evaluation is absolutely correct. It's so shocking."

Zhang Tie'an was the first to come out, and the several official staff who followed him still had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Is Leader Zhang rushing back?"

"I want to go back and report on my work, and then I will briefly mention the major achievements here at the big meeting, so that everyone must be 1000% energetic to cooperate with the overall operation of the Millennium Shengzang Group. Absolutely You can’t let things slip at any point.”

Li Mo stretched out his arms and stood facing the wind, raising his head to feel the wild wind of the prairie.

"Leader Zhang, I'll see you off not far away."

"I'll leave it to you and the archaeological experts here. I'll handle the official side. You must tell me in advance when you will leave Inner Mongolia. The old man at home wants to treat you to dinner every day. Yunli also misses you very much. Brother, you should go there before returning to Kyoto."

"Okay, I'll tell you one day in advance."

After Zhang Tie'an left, Li Mo called for a haircut and asked him to arrange for someone to send a box of antique wine from Yandu's home, and then asked Sirui to select some antique gold, silver and jade to bring over. It was the first time that the Zhang family came to visit, and there was no point in attacking with ordinary things. Centenary antique wine is a rare thing, and it will become increasingly rare.

The foundation of the Zhang family is actually not in Inner Mongolia, but in Liao Province, so a trip here is not that close. However, Zhang Tie'an has moved Mr. Zhang and Yunli out, so it would be a bad idea not to go there.

Li Mo was galloping on the prairie on a horse. He was rising and falling on the saddle, followed by several cavalrymen. They were also worried that Li Mo would encounter any danger again. The superiors once again told him that his safety must be ensured. Wherever he went, they and the others would follow him.

Of course, behind them is a group of security guards from the security shield, all of whom are very skilled in riding horses.

After a long time, Li Mo rode back to the archaeological site. The experts hadn't come out yet. He only saw Yan Yangyang standing in front of the tent door of the camp, chewing an apple and looking around boredly.

"Master, I'm here."

Yan Yangyang waved to him.

Li Mo handed the horse over to a security guard, then walked over and asked, "Are they still studying Genghis Khan's gold paintings down there?"

"No, no one wanted to come out. A few people even had different explanations for a gold painting, and their faces turned red and harsh. In addition, my eyes were dazzled by the golden light, so I came out first. Breathe some air and eat some fruit to replenish your vitamins. Master, I’ll peel an apple for you too, both of them are big.”

"No, bring me a bottle of water or a drink."

Yangyang handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Master, there are not many wooden boxes in the auxiliary palace on the left, but the value of the gold paintings on the surrounding wall alone is worth half of the auxiliary palace on the right. If they are all removed and protected, it is estimated that It will take about ten days.”

"We've almost done the preliminary work, and it doesn't matter if I'm here or not for the last bit of finishing work. Yangyang, when the things here are over, I'll take you to Aunt Yunli's house as a guest, and take you to taste the authentic fireworks of the Northeast. "

"Hmm, I often see a lot of videos about Northeastern breakfast on the Internet, which makes my mouth water."

"Then it's settled."

When it got dark, Sima Haotian and the others walked out of the underground palace still unfinished, still discussing as they walked.

"You've been watching for a long time and you still haven't had enough fun."

Li Mo also admired them. These people were real archaeological experts, unlike himself who was a half-baked archaeological expert.

"Academician Li, the term 'grand work' you used to describe it is so apt. Seeing them, we really feel like we are watching a grand historical TV series."

Sima Haotian's face was full of excitement. If it hadn't been getting dark, he would probably have continued to stay in the underground secret palace.

"Academician Li, we haven't finished reading it yet. Can you give us another half day tomorrow to study it and appreciate it?"

Another archaeological expert made a request, and the others nodded, even more attentive than when they saw the rare porcelain from the Tang, Song, and Liao Dynasties.

"Um... Then we will continue to play treasure tomorrow afternoon. Now everyone will pack up and go back to the hotel to eat and rest."

On the way back to the hotel, Sima Haotian sat in the back seat, folded his hands on his stomach and said: "Academician Li, when I was in the underground palace, I was thinking that after the entire Genghis Khan secret collection was relocated and the museum was completed, It will take at least two years to display those priceless treasures from start to finish. During this time, isn’t it too wasteful to keep all those treasures in the treasure house?”

"You mean to show them to the outside world first?"

"There are so many, so good things that should be displayed to the outside world. The museums here in Inner Mongolia will definitely not have time, but there are so many museums in Yandu, and it will definitely be no problem to spare one or two."

Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "The construction of the museum in Yandu would be too large and would require internal renovation, so it is not suitable. If the official really agrees to display it to the public first, there are several buildings in Gusu. , the outside is already ready, and the inside can be put into use directly as long as it is decorated.”

"Gusu is also very good. After the exhibition comes out, we can continue to study all the treasures in Genghis Khan's secret collection from scratch. Otherwise, it would be a waste of two years to keep them in the underground treasure house. "

Li Mo smiled and said: "This idea should have been proposed by those experts, right?"

"I can't hide it from you." Sima Haotian nodded, "Several archaeological experts have actually reached retirement age. They just want to participate in this archaeological project while they can still work. I'm afraid they will never be found again in the future. There is no better archaeological project than Genghis Khan’s Secret Collection.”

"I'll go back and discuss this matter with my superiors. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Back at the hotel, Li Mo communicated the matter with Qin Yali. This suggestion was actually a good thing. It would not only allow tourists across the country to understand Genghis Khan's secrets faster and earlier, but also speed up the overall historical research. Moreover, the overall relocation of Genghis Khan's Secret Palace is being carried out simultaneously. This is a really good thing and there is no reason to disagree.

The most important thing is that there are already many well-constructed venues in Suzhou. They can be put into use after reorganizing the inside and outside. After two or three years, they can be evacuated. It is also easy to tear down the inside and redecorate them.
