Chapter 655 Chifeng Museum
This trip was quite rewarding.
The boxes and backpacks were transported down one by one via the climbing rope.
A Ming and Huang Hao, who were waiting below, were shocked. This was the first time they saw so much gold!
It took them two full days to take out everything inside.
After transporting everything to the stone field below, they returned to the ground one by one.
However, everyone is now in trouble.
There was no cart in hand, and it was impossible for the car to come to the mountains. How should they transport these things?
With such a heavy gold treasure chest, it is impossible to walk on the platform.
Lin Ran thought he could seek help from the museum and transport the cultural relics out via helicopter.
But then, their gold would not be saved.
The cultural relics can be presented to the museum, which was his original intention, but it would be heartbreaking to give away all the gold and silver.
"It's definitely not possible to go back the way we came." Lin Ran raised his head and looked at the nearby cliff.
It's getting late now, and after two days of hard work, I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
So he decided to sleep outdoors for one night. After all, he didn't get a good night's sleep in the mausoleum.
Hearing that there was a several-ton gold coffin inside, Huang Hao was so excited that he wanted to take it out too.
No doubt, he was laughed at by everyone.
"Do you think our rope can support the weight?"
“Isn’t that much gold wasted?”
"It doesn't matter. Just report it to the local museum and they will find a way to deal with it." Lin Ran was not interested in the golden coffin.
The silver and gold coins in their hands are enough.
The next day, Lin Ran did not ask them to return immediately, but continued towards Death Valley.
In a mountain in Death Valley, a cave was actually found.
"What place is this?" Liu Jingfeng was confused, "Is it another tomb?"
"No." Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, "I think this should be another passage out of the valley."
The reason why he thought this was because Lin Ran discovered in the tomb that there were cliffs on one side and one of the roads was blocked.
He then guessed that the mountains were actually connected.
This cave is like a secret passage, winding and twisting.
Finally, they finally made it around to the other side of the cave.
And it's strange that this is the bloodstone vein, which is where Mount Konoha is located.
"It turns out that we have been on the mountain, and it turned out to be a mountain within a mountain!" Lin Ran exclaimed. No wonder it is said that you can find the mausoleum if you find Konoha Mountain.
There is a connected secret passage here!
This is really a magical place. After leaving the valley tunnel, they did not rush to take away their things. Instead, they went around to the bottom of the mountain and found Zhenbao and Xu Yi who had returned to the camp.
They were very excited when they heard that they had found cultural relics from the Liao Kingdom.
Lin Ran handed the wooden plaque he brought back to Xu Yi and asked, "Can you recognize the words on it?"
Xu Yi took the wooden sign, glanced at the words on it, and said, "Yes, it's Yelu Abaoji!"
"Look, this character is exactly the Chinese character for billion, which is his Chinese name!"
As the founding monarch of the Liao Kingdom, he had close contacts with the Central Plains and always pursued the strategy of peace and marriage. He also gave himself a Han name.
Hearing that there were a large number of cultural relics, he didn't miss the chance to rest.
He drove the car directly to the foot of the mountain, and then together with everyone, he carried the boxes and cultural relics back to the car one by one.
Fortunately, they came with two cars, otherwise one car would really not be able to fit it in.
At this time, the vehicle was seriously overloaded. Fortunately, there was grassland all the way, so if you slow down, there would be no danger.
After bringing the things back to the city, Liu Jingfeng tried to find a trustworthy freight merchant, divided the goods into several batches, and prepared to send them back.
Since there was too much gold and silver involved, they did not dare to find just one company, so they found more than a dozen institutions to send the goods back to the capital in batches.
"Now, we are really going to make a fortune." In the hotel at night, although everyone was exhausted, they were still in high spirits, and they went back to the room to sleep drunk.
After waking up, Liu Jingfeng tried to find a way to contact the local museum.
According to the agreement, the cultural relics they excavated will be sold to museums first, and they will be provided with archaeological preservation services.
Lin Ran decided to take this opportunity to go to the market in Inner Mongolia to buy some souvenirs for his family and Qianyun to take back.
The others had nothing to do, so they went directly with Lin Ran.
Xu Ning and Xu Yi originally moved out of the local area and were not interested in the market. They decided to go horse riding on the pasture.
When they returned to the hotel, they saw the museum's vehicles parked in front of the hotel.
Lin Ran and the others hurried back and saw in their room a group of gray-haired old men excitedly looking at the cultural relics, holding them in their hands, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Oh my god, with the golden stupa, the Khitans are really showing their respect for Buddhism and establishing religion!"
"And this, the surface of the silver pot depicts a son carrying his mother, which means that the Khitan nobles have accepted the Han Confucian concept of filial piety!"
"What is this? It looks like a drinking utensil they use."
The researchers at the museum were all talking. They crowded into the narrow room and looked at the cultural relics one by one.
Liu Jingfeng was talking to an old man in a suit. When he saw Lin Ran coming back, he quickly called him over.
"Brother Lin, this is Bajiaer, the director of the Chifeng Museum." Liu Jingfeng introduced enthusiastically, "Director, this is Lin Ran, the discoverer of the tomb of Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty. He is also a historical researcher and should be able to help. you busy."
"Hello, hello." The old man held Lin Ran's hand and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that the tomb of Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty would see the light of day again. What a blessing from our ancestors!"
He had an unusually bold personality. After shaking hands with Lin Ran, he also shook hands with the person behind him, waving them up and down so much that Wang Jinpeng couldn't hold himself back.
Then, he pulled Lin Ran aside and asked about the specific location of the tomb of Taizu Liao and the situation of the things they brought out.
Knowing that the location of the mausoleum was steep, he frowned: "You can climb such a high mountain?"
"Because we have a mountain climbing expert." Lin Ran smiled, but Xu Ning and Xu Yi haven't come back yet and can't introduce them to him.
Bagal smiled and said: "Our museum has collected all the cultural relics you brought out, but we have to make a decision on the specific price after appraisal."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ran thought to himself that the batch of goods they transported back to the capital was much more valuable than these cultural relics.
"That's good. I heard that you are the apprentice of the director of the National Palace Museum. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come back to the museum with us for a joint appraisal?" Bajar extended the invitation, "This way everyone can rest assured."
Of course, Lin Ran would not refuse the appraisal.
He smiled: "No problem, it's just that it's getting late today. You guys transport your things back first, and I'll go to the museum to find you tomorrow morning. How about that?"
"Great." Bajar handed a business card to Lin Ran, "When you go to the museum, just tell the security guard to ask for Bajar."
"By the way, I also have two friends who know Khitan culture very well and may be able to help you."
"Understand the Khitan culture?" Bajiaer's eyes shone. This is what they need. "We must bring them here!"
