Chapter 1119 Significance

Chapter 1119 Ask for a Monthly Pass in Great Significance

"What you said is somewhat reasonable, but why does the Taoist priest hide these scriptures here? And did the era happen before or after he sold Dunhuang literature?

This archaeology is similar to that of the police to solve the case. After encountering some clues, I like reasoning and analysis. When I demonstrate a period of history through my own research, the sense of achievement is very strong.

After hearing Zhuang Rui's analysis just now, Dr. Ren even forgot the scroll in his hand for a moment. He couldn't wait to cut open the historical truth immediately and restore the scene at that time.

"Brother Ren, these are just my guesses. It's not accurate. If you want me to say, Zhongchuan must know something..."

The copy obtained from Nakagawa is only the picture of the Daxiong Hall and the collection. As for the records written by Wang Daoshi himself, Zhongchuan did not bring them to China. According to this copy, Zhuang Rui can only guess these.

"Damn it, that little Japanese must know something. Why don't you turn around and ask Peng Fei to give him some tricks?"

Dr. Ren, who has always been gentle in front of people, can't help swearing at this moment.

He has touched the truth of history and can't get in, which makes Dr. Ren's heart itchy. It's like knowing that his wife's aunt is coming after eating three pieces of Viagra in a row, the feeling of aggrieved made Dr. Ren eager to pull Zhongchuan in and beat him up.

"Hey hey, Brother Ren, hold that boy for a day and see what he says..."

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard the words. He drove Zhongchuan out. In fact, he was already calculating him. Now the matter is obvious. Zhongchuan has come all the way to China. He must be looking for this batch of scriptures. If he can't see them, Zhuang Rui doesn't believe that Zhongchuan can hold it?

"You boy..."

Dr. Ren also reacted, but after thinking about it, he said, "What if Nakagawa refuses to say it all the time?"

"That's easy to do. Just as you said, let Peng Fei give him some means. At worst, throw him into the flowing sand when you go back..." Zhuang Rui said with an indifferent face.

"No, that's what I said, no, this is amazing..."

Ren Chunqiang was shocked by Zhuang Rui. After so many days of getting along with each other, he also knew that Peng Fei was not a good stubble. Maybe he could really do this thing of destroying corpses.

"Come on, Brother Ren, I'm a good citizen. I'm joking with you. Let's clean up these things first, and then inform the teacher and the comrades of Dunhuang Cultural Heritage Bureau..."

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile. His brother was really a nerd. He couldn't tell the truth from the lie, and his face turned white with fear.

"Don't take it seriously..." Dr. Ren looked at Zhuang Rui suspiciously. He knew that Zhuang Rui had a deep background. If he really wanted Zhongchuan to disappear in China, it was not necessarily difficult.

"Of course it's true, Xiao Jia, why are you laughing secretly? Come and help..."

Seeing that Dr. Ren was serious, Zhuang Rui changed the topic with tears and laughter. Sure enough, when Ren Chunqiang heard that he was going to start moving the scriptures out, he immediately looked serious.

Because the entrance of the cave is opened behind the Buddha statue, there is also a base more than one meter high. With these scrolls, it can only be handed to Xiao Jia and others through Zhuang Rui one by one, and then put on the ground.

There are almost more than 200 scrolls of ancient books wrapped in oil paper. Such a roll is tedious and inefficient to take out. More than an hour later, the first scriptures in the oil paper to be taken out.

"Brother Ren, this won't work. It's too inefficient..."

In this Buddha statue alone, there are 30 or 40 oil cartons. If it is taken out in this way, I'm afraid it will take at least two days. What's more, after the scroll is taken out of the oil paper, it is also not good for storage.

"What should I do? You can't put it here, can you? In case something goes wrong, no one can afford it..."

Dr. Ren stopped, frowned and thought for a moment and said, "This road is too difficult to walk. If you inform outsiders to come in, it may be dangerous when passing through the drift-sand area. We have a total of sixteen or seventeen camels now. Let's find a way to take them out..."

"You can't break it up and take it out. The damage to the scroll is too great..."

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Brother Ren, come out. Let's expand this hole a little more, and I'll go in and move it directly..."

After Dr. Ren came out, the two pulled out a lot of green bricks from the entrance of the cave, and the whole entrance of the cave had allowed Zhuang Rui to stand upright.

"Slow down, be careful, don't let the oil paper open the bag, don't fall..."

After Zhuang Rui entered the belly of the Buddha statue, he directly wrapped a piece of oil paper with both hands and carried it up. Dr. Ren, who was standing outside, looked concerned for fear that Zhuang Rui would fall... Those scrolls.

Zhuang Rui held the oil paper scroll wrapped in four directions and carefully handed it to Xiao Jia standing under the base. He joked to Dr. Ren and said, "Well, Brother Ren, are you afraid of falling or throwing these scriptures?"

Although these are all paper books, the shaft in the middle is made of good solid wood, and the weight is not light. Such a bag is estimated to be 60 or 70 catties. Although Dr. Ren can hold it, he is not as stable as Zhuang Rui when walking.

With Zhuang Rui's tireless labor, the efficiency of taking out the sutra scroll from the Buddha statue suddenly accelerated. By noon, a total of 43 sutra scrolls wrapped in oil paper in the Buddha statue were taken out and placed neatly on the ground in the middle of the hall.

Zhuang Rui has aura to relieve physical fatigue, but Xiao Jia and others can't. They have been tired to sit on the ground and can't get up for a long time. Even the doctor's arms are weak. He went out and called Peng Fei to change shifts.

As for Nakagawa, he kept stretching out his head and looking into the temple all morning. Of course, standing under the steps, he could not see the movement in the hall anyway.

......

"Zhuang Rui, I called the teacher. The teacher booked the ticket for the afternoon, and then contact the people of Dunhuang Cultural Relics Department to come with me..."

Dr. Ren took Zhuang Rui's satellite phone and ran into the hall excitedly. Just now, when he was on the phone with his tutor, he could feel that Professor Meng, who had always been known for his calmness and rationality, was also excited.

"Brother Ren, if no one takes the way, it will be difficult for them to come in. Let's think about how to take these things out first?" Zhuang Rui looked at the mountain-like scroll in front of him and frowned into a Sichuan character.

This package of books weighs about 60 to 70 catties, and 30 packs is more than 2,000 catties, and a camel can carry two or three hundred catties of load without affecting normal walking. That is to say, they can't take out all these scroll books at one time.

Dr. Ren also found this problem and said, "Yes, not to mention that there are not enough camels, there are few baskets on the back. You can't put these scriptures on the hump, can you?"

This time, including the camels of Erdan and others, there are only six camels carrying supplies, each with two back baskets. It is almost impossible for these six camels to carry out these books alone.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Rui said, "Well, Brother Ren, let Brother Mengzi lead the way. You and Xiaolei and Peng Fei go out, go back to the town to meet the teacher, and then lead the camel team in..."

Dr. Ren shook his head and said, "You'd better lead the team out. I'll guard these scriptures..."

It's not that Ren Chunqiang is pretentious or afraid of running this trip more. The key is that when they go out of the desert, there will be countless media at home and abroad waiting for interview. It is estimated that CCTV will also follow up and report, which is an opportunity to show off.

You know, the emergence of this batch of Dunhuang documents was no less sensational than dropping an atomic bomb in the domestic scientific research world, which was even more important than Zhuang Rui found the fossils of Beijing people at the beginning.

The documents in the Dunhuang Tibetan Sutra Cave, starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, have gone through more than ten dynasties, including the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the Northern Song Dynasty, spanning more than 700 years

Its content covers dozens of disciplines, including politics, economy, military, transportation, geography, calendar, contract, household registration, medicine, mathematics, calligraphy, music, etc. It is a vast ancient library.

Although the specific number of these scriptures has not been accurately counted, Zhuang Rui roughly estimated that all the documents in the three Buddha statues should not be less than 30,000 volumes, which is almost more than two-thirds of the Dunhuang documents unearthed in the Tibetan scripture cave 100 years ago.

Therefore, this archaeological discovery will become a milestone in the Chinese archaeological community, which will definitely be remembered in the history of world archaeology. The names of these people in the archaeological team will also be recorded in the relevant textbooks.

The archaeological team is still like this, so the first person to discover these documents will certainly have more honors. It is said that Dr. Ren will let Zhuang Rui lead the team out, because these scrolls were originally discovered by Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui understood what Ren Chunqiang meant and said with a smile, "Brother Ren, I don't need these. As long as I am the leader of the archaeological team this time, I will have everything I should have, but you will evaluate the title of researcher immediately, and I need these very much..."

With Zhuang Rui's current reputation and reputation in the antique jade industry, he really doesn't need this gimmick to find Dunhuang literature to find any benefits for himself.

And as Zhuang Rui said, as the leader of this archaeological team, he will share all the honors.

But this discovery, purely accidental gain, is not the main purpose of Zhuang Rui's trip. In fact, Zhuang Rui is still brewing more important discoveries in his heart, but that idea would be too ridiculous in the eyes of others. Zhuang Rui has never said anything to other members of the archaeological team.

Zhuang Rui looked at Xiao Jia and others again and said, "Well, as the personnel involved in this archaeology, it is not difficult for you to stay in school in the future. You can reconsider the distribution after graduation..."
