Song Siyuan paused and continued: "If we have to choose one thing, I would be more inclined to choose Steinhein's inspection report. After all, this report can be published in Physical Geography Impurities, which at least shows that the information he gave is accurate. .”
"The Xuan Shu Iron Coupon records only the legends told to Li Shimin by the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty. One is an inspection report with accurate information, and the other is just a legend heard from hearsay. We can figure it out for ourselves which one is more valuable."
She picked up the geographical impurity: "When reading his inspection report, I can still feel his rigorous verification and bold assumptions. All his speculations and conclusions about the ancient Shanshan Dynasty were only written after finding actual cultural relics. In the inspection report, this is the first time I have seen a tomb robber who is so serious about archeology."
Yue Guanchao gritted his teeth and said: "No, the more precise the inspection, the greater the chance they will get the cultural relics. In the end, people will die and wealth will die, and birds will die for food."
In response to Yue Guanchao's vernacular, Song Siyuan shook her head and retorted: "Not necessarily. If Steinhein only seeks money, he can completely let his people do it. Don't forget, he is already the helmsman of the Steinman Group. One of his top leaders personally went to the dangerous deserts of the Western Regions. I think any mature professional manager would not personally take risks."
She paused and continued to explain: "Judging from the information about his life, he spent almost the first half of his life in Asia. He even went to Central Asia and Southeast Asia to explore alone before he became an adult. I guess that Steinhein He really likes foreign cultures, and he also really likes exploring and archeology. As for reselling cultural relics, it is entirely the interests of the group. This time he personally went to the desert of the Western Regions, which shows how much he values the Yinyu Pendant."
Yue Guanchao said disapprovingly: "The key is, then look at the Bardo Fish Pendant, why can't you find it? This old guy can only find the city ruins of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom in one trip. Adding another ancient tomb can only be regarded as a reluctance. After finding the tail of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom, does the royal city of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom still exist?"
Not only was Stein Hein doubtful about this issue, but they also had many questions. According to Queen Xiao's account, when the Shanshan Kingdom was destroyed by Li Tang, the last generation of Queen Shanshan had disappeared, and even the royal city of Queen Shanshan was nowhere to be found. Missing in the desert, no one can find any trace of the city's existence.
At that time, Li Shimin was getting old. He suddenly heard that the Yin Fish was in the hands of the queen, and sent soldiers to directly destroy the ancient Shanshan Kingdom. In the end, he found that Queen Shanshan had disappeared before they arrived at the royal city. In his opinion, This is a sign of the sky, and it is God warning him that Li Tang should not get the Yinyu Pendant.
With this concern, even though he missed the Yinyu Pei, he did not carefully explore the reasons for the disappearance of the royal city, and finally died regretfully.
The whole story has the quality of a myth. How could a desert royal city disappear out of thin air? In fact, even the people in the royal city and Queen Shanshan disappeared without a trace. It always conveys a supernatural feeling when it is told. mean.
Song Siyuan said: "At that time, when we discussed this situation, you also said that since Queen Shanshan can predict future blessings and disasters, why not take some measures to save Shanshan Kingdom. My answer is that Queen Shanshan has already foreseen the destruction of Shanshan Kingdom. At that time, Under the historical circumstances, this is almost an unchangeable historical node, that is to say, she cannot change history."
"Then, the only thing that can be done is to comply with history and allow the Shanshan Kingdom to be destroyed, or make some preparations in advance so that the royal city can be preserved. Perhaps the disappearance of the ancient Shanshan royal city is the Queen Shanshan's way of coping."
Song Siyuan paused and her tone became mysterious: "Since the Yinyu Pendant is very important, Stein Hein failed to find the ancient Shanshan City after half a year of investigation. Does this mean that the Shanshan City really disappeared in the desert? ?”
Yue Guanchao nodded: "I also have this guess. If Stan Hein can find the Yinyu Pendant, he will definitely not return without success. This inspection report is just to restore his respect. If he gains nothing along the way, then I’m so sorry for his status.”
Yue Guanchao asked: "The key is the Desert King City. Where did it go?"
"Could it be that Queen Shanshan had already abandoned the city and fled with the people in the city before Li Tang's soldiers arrived."
Xu Xiake continued: "Steinhein's investigation report also mentioned that from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom's trade was cut off and the environment deteriorated. Many merchants moved to other places. The deterioration of the environment also caused many people to gradually stay away from the city-state. , if these situations are true, then Queen Shanshan may also have abandoned the city and fled with the people, and the Tang army did not find them."
Song Siyuan nodded: "What you said is indeed possible, but it is only possible. Queen Shanshan can indeed take the people to escape, but she may not be able to take away the royal city. It is not that Li Tang's soldiers arrived at the royal city without seeing anyone. But the Royal City was not found at all, which is enough to show that Queen Shanshan disappeared along with the Royal City and the people."
"Think about the Yinyu Pei obtained by Queen Shanshan. This is very strange. The disappearance of the royal city is also related to the Yinyu Pei."
She seemed to have thought of something, and reminded: "The legend of Queen Xiao also mentioned that the jade pendant of Queen Shanshan can know the future, predict all blessings and disasters, and can even turn deserts into oases and dry roads to create rivers. Combined with the function of the Yin Fish Pendant, the disappearance of Queen Shanshan and the Royal City has a lot to do with their Yin Fish Pendant."
"Judging from the sun fish pendants we got, these fish pendants can definitely cause a reaction in the mirror space. Then, whether it is turning the desert into an oasis or predicting future blessings and misfortunes, it is possible. This time Stan Hein’s inability to find the Desert King City already means that the Desert King City may no longer be in the real world, and it can be explained by his failure to find it.”
Sun Daqiao interjected from the side: "Children, how can you be so sure that this jade pendant must be the Yinyu Pendant? The original legend of this thing was that it was a gift from King Zhou Mu to the Queen Mother of the West. Kunlun seems to have nothing to do with the ancient Shanshan Kingdom. In case, What you are looking for is not the same thing at all!”
The situation mentioned by Lao Suntou refers to the famous mythological story in the history of Zhou Dynasty, in which King Mu of Zhou rushed west to Kunlun.
Rumor has it that Ji Man, King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty, was the longest-reigning emperor in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During his reign, due to the rebellion of the Quan Rong in the West, which blocked the westward territory, the Western Zhou Dynasty attacked the Quan Rong many times and called on the princes to defend the royal family and resist foreign enemies. Thanks to the efforts of the Zhou royal family and the vassal states, the westward territory was temporarily safe.
In order to inspect the territory and spread the royal doctrine, King Zhou Mu began to take his envoys and horses, starting from Haojing in the Central Plains, crossing the Zhang River along the northwest route, and then crossed Hezong Mountain, Yanran Mountain, Ledu Mountain, and Jishi Mountain , Qunyu Mountain, and came to Kunlun Hill where the Queen Mother of the West lived.
