Chapter 628 Ancient Cultural Relics

Fortunately, he ate less, and his symptoms might be milder. His companions ate too much because they were hungry. They got mad and ran around with their guns. He was helpless, but they met Haller and others.

When he heard the poacher mentioning the cave, Haller asked in detail and carefully recorded it with his notebook.

After a while, Zhuoma came back. When she saw that the poacher was able to move freely, she asked him how many more people had come. The poacher replied that they were in a car, and a total of 6 people had arrived, but they had been separated for a long time.

Zhuoma frowned and told him that the toxins in his body had not been completely eliminated, so he asked him to drive to the hospital in the town to treat it immediately, and take the body of his companion who was shot to the nearest "Sky Burial Platform". The poacher repeatedly agreed and with the help of the Germans, he drove away with his companion's body.

"I bet he will leave his companion's body if he can't walk far away." Offsnett said to Haller as he looked at the shadow of the car gradually disappearing from the snowfield.

"Yes, he didn't ask where the 'Sky Burial Terrace' was. I even doubted whether he knew what the 'Sky Burial Terrace' was." Haller nodded and said.

"This is a mysterious land," said Offsnett. "This incident also reminds us that in the next action, we must double our hearts."

After this storm, the Germans have already gained a deeper understanding of this land.

"Our female guide has a good marksmanship." Offsnett whispered at Zhuoma, who had turned around and left.

"There are always terrible beasts here. People living here regard guns as a necessary tool. There is nothing strange about this woman's gun being shot so accurately." Haller replied.

"What you said makes sense." Offsnett touched the stg44 assault rifle in his backpack. "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

The expedition team gathered again. Soon everyone came to the lake and looked at the lake that was as bright as a mirror. Haller and Offsnett felt refreshed and refreshed.

"According to your map, "The Red Temple should be a distance from here." Onfschnett looked at the beautiful holy lake and said to Haller, "I don't know why that Russian woman would specifically associate this lake with it."

"This lake should be considered a landmark," Halle said. "It was through these that the Russians should have determined the location of the cave."

Offsnait nodded and said no more.

As Affsnett said, the distance between the Red Temple and the Holy Lake can be said to be very far. About the evening, the hiking expedition team came to the foot of a not-too-high mountain.

Without the guidance to explain, Haller and Ofschnett were able to determine where the Red Temple was.

When Haller and Ofschnet, who came to the foot of the mountain, looked up at the top of the mountain. The mountain was not very high, with a drop of less than Chris from the bottom of the mountain to the top. On the mountain, there were ancient buildings and caves with the same color as the soil.

Several temples and palaces have tall and majestic buildings. Due to the erosion of wind and rain caused by the age of time, except for a few large and relatively sturdy large buildings, most of the other houses have collapsed.

In some rooms, only one earthen wall is left, and around these buildings, there seem to be traces of city walls, watchtowers and beacon towers.

"A very majestic site." Haller held up his telescope and carefully observed this ancient site built against the mountain with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"The dome building at the highest point should be the royal palace." Onfsnett pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "The middle level is the building under the temple is the city residents, and the outermost circle should be fortifications."

"That temple should be the Red Temple." Haller noticed a square temple full of dark red and said, "We came at the right time."

"It's time? I'm afraid it's not necessarily." Mandel smiled bitterly when he heard their conversation, and pointed to a group of people riding on off-road vehicles coming from a distance.

"The Chinese arrived before us." After seeing who was coming, Offsnett's face changed slightly.

Haller looked over with a telescope and immediately recognized that this was a team of Chinese motorized light cavalry with live ammunition. He couldn't help but complain in his heart. Dozens of four-wheel light off-road assault vehicles suitable for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, although they had four wheels, were actually motorcycles.

Each vehicle can be transported in two people and can also transport weapons and supplies no more than one hundred kilograms.

Soon, the Chinese light cavalrymen were very close to the expedition, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" A Chinese major led by the leader asked loudly in the car.

The guide Danji and Zhuoma agreed loudly, and met them and took out a document-like thing from their clothes and handed it to the major. They told him about the German situation in Chinese. The major nodded, jumped out of the car with the soldiers, and came to Halle and others.

Haller and Ofschnett went up to meet him. Haller took the initiative to extend his hand to the Chinese major, greeted him enthusiastically and fluently in Chinese, and introduced himself. The Chinese major's face calmed down and showed a friendly smile to shake hands with Haller and Ofschnett one by one.

China and Germany have declared war. The Halles and others naturally used their identities as other countries and came here to visit as tourists. Anyway, they are not a military location, so they did not arouse suspicion.

"Your guide may not know that military control has been implemented here, and tourists are temporarily prohibited from entering and leaving." The major named Hu Hanyang said to Haller, "But it cannot be blamed for them. You can see how inconvenient the transportation here is. Besides, there are no people here at all, especially foreigners like you."

"Oh, so that's how it seems that we are coming." Haller tried hard to hide his inner disappointment and said in a relaxed and natural tone. "How long has it been implemented here fortifications? Should we build defenses here?"

Seeing that the leader of the Central Secretary was not well-behaved, Haller quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I'm rude and shouldn't ask you such a question."

"It's okay, the whole world is fighting now, so it's normal for you to ask such questions. Moreover, it's meaningless to build fortifications here. Not to mention that the war is about to end now." The slightly young major of the Chinese army waved his hand indifferently, indicating that it's okay.

After carefully looking at Haller and his group, their eyes swept over the German weapons on the other side, but they didn't say much, as if they didn't see it.

"We have implemented military controls a few months ago. You are a scientist who can see that you and your partners are very interested in ancient culture and archaeology. You should be able to see that this is an ancient ruin with a very long history. You know, our country's politics have always focused on protecting and studying traditional culture for the history and culture of the ** area."

"After it was discovered a year ago, many cultural relics with great historical research value were found in our country's archaeologists. However, before it was officially discovered, it did not receive the protection it deserved, and artificial excavation caused the loss of many important cultural relics. Therefore, for the purpose of cultural relics protection, we implemented military control here."

"The cultural protection measures of your country's government are worth learning from and learning from." Haller nodded and said with a smile, "However, your words aroused my strong curiosity. Can I know what is here?"

"You must have been here after hearing some news." Major Hua Jun showed a tacit smile and signaled that Haller didn't have to go around in circles. "I know, if you don't let you see, you will definitely be very disappointed. Please come with me."

After hearing what the Chinese major said, Hahoff Schnett couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"There are some requirements I have to emphasize to you in advance," the major said with a sneer.

"You and your companions can visit here freely. Of course, we need to accompany our staff, you can take photos and take photos away. But I need to remind you that you cannot take anything here. When you leave, we will check your and your companions' belongings. Do you think this is OK?"

After hearing the conditions offered by the Chinese major, Haller hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The expedition team followed the major's team to the ruins mountain. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Lights were lit one after another on the camps halfway up the mountain. Haller and Ofschnet both noticed that the figures swaying back and forth in the lights were obviously not resting at this time.

"The scale of this site is not large, but it has thousands of houses and caves. The area and scale of underground facilities here are far out of the ground buildings." The major said, leading Haller and others to his station, while introducing him, asking staff to register the foreigners in detail.

"So without the guidance of the staff, you'd better not go around." Once you get lost in those extremely complicated caves, we can't find you."

"Thank you," Major." Haller said very gratefully.

After completing the registration work, every German received a pass and was arranged to live in the residence.

Since it was late, the major saw that the Germans had not eaten yet, so he arranged for the staff to make a hot meal for them. The German expedition members who pretended to be Canadians were trekking for a day and were a little tired. "This hot meal was a very pleasant enjoyment for them.

After dinner, some people returned to their residences to rest, while others who were more energetic began to smoke and chat with the Chinese light cavalry soldiers stationed here, looking at the stars.

The major invited Haller and Offschnet to talk to his tent. Haller and Offschnett readily. They had just heard the "underground caves" mentioned by the major, and they all wanted to get more information about these caves from the Chinese major.

The three of them walked along the winding aisle, and when they passed by a rather complete house, the cries inside surprised Haller.

"You guys are all the grass! You Qiu Ba don't know how powerful I am! You dare to lock me up here! Let me go back and give you a few good words, which is enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your life! You don't know who my father is.

After hearing the nonsense inside, the major frowned and said to a guard beside him, "Shut up that guy! Don't affect other people's work! If not, give him some good taste!"

The guard smiled and took the order and left. After a while, there was a crackling sound in the room. The curses stopped abruptly and replaced them with a strange squeak.

"Is this..." Haller asked strangely.

"Poacher, he said his father was the director, he knew the governor and the mayor, Cao! My fucking knows Roosevelt!" The major heard the voice in the room turning into a dull and painful cry, and sneered, "As these days, there are always some ungrateful prodigal sons who think that the only ones God is his father."

Haller remembered the two food poisoned poachers he encountered when he came, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He told the Chinese major about this. The major's face looked a little ugly. He immediately called several guards and ordered them to take Haller's guide Danji and Zhuoma and his wife out immediately and search for the poachers according to the situation provided by Haller.

"These poachers are all over the world and can do anything for a little money-successful death." Major Hu Hanyang said, "They sometimes steal cultural relics, so I have to catch them."

"Cultural relics are the wealth of the entire world and the witness of historical civilization. Once destroyed, they cannot be restored," Haller nodded and cleverly turned the topic to cultural relics. "This behavior should be severely cracked down on it."

"That's it." The major looked at Haller and Ofschnet and said, "Before we arrived here, there were many ancient tombs and exquisite cultural relics and murals, but because of the tomb robbers, many murals were destroyed. The cultural relics were also lost to the people, and now it takes a lot of labor to re-collect. You may not know that the murals here are very exquisite, almost comparable to the murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. If you are interested, we can go and take a look together later."

"That's great." Haller said happily, "By the way, Major, is it true that you said there are countless caves here?"

"It's true." Major Hu Hanyang said, opening a hand-painted drawing that marked the shape of the mountains and the dense cave locations. "There are more than 500 larger caves that have been counted out now." He pointed to some larger marks and said, "These caves form an extremely complex underground system. We have only roughly detected a third of them. Because the interior is too deep, we have not conducted further investigations yet."

"The wisdom of ancient people" is difficult for us modern people to understand." O'Darschnett said, "What is the purpose of such a complex cave system?"

"The cave human source has been with us since the beginning of the early stage. They are the residences of the ancient humans and the cradle of human civilization. Until now, they still hide too many unknown secrets of humans and nature." Halle said.

"It is indeed the case." The major said, "For example, the famous "Book of Changes" in my country has three types: "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Book of Changes". The earliest "Lianshan" used the Gen hexagram, that is, the mountains are the sixty hexagrams. It was because people at that time mainly lived in caves, so they regarded the mountains as the main body of the earth."

When the Chinese major in front of him talked about the "Book of Changes", which had always made Westerners unpredictable, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What you said is right, people at that time were likely to use caves as the axis of the earth." Hallexiang said inadvertently.

"I don't know if you have heard of it," the major smiled as if he understood what Halle meant, and said, "There is a legend among the locals that there is a huge cave here, called "the axis of the world, and there is a huge magical power hidden inside, which can reverse time and make people immortal and invulnerable."

"I've heard of this legend," Haller's heart began to beat violently when he heard the Chinese major's words, but he still said calmly, "But it's hard for me to believe that there is such a place. It's so bizarre and it doesn't match our existing understanding of the world."

"You are right, I don't believe that there is such a place that only exists in myths." Major Hu Hanyang smiled and said, "But" we really have a strange cave here, which leads to a huge underground hall where we have many strange things."

"Oh? What is it?" Haller and Ofschnett looked at each other and found that their voices were a little hoarse.

The Chinese major obviously did not notice that the Germans' heart was about to jump out of their throats. He shouted, and a guard bowed into the tent. The major told him to find the person in charge of the archaeological team, "Get some "good things" that have just appeared for the guests." The guard agreed and turned around and left.

Soon, the guards came back with a young man with glasses. After the young man entered the tent, he saw two Germans, who were slightly stunned at first, then nodded with a smile, opened a wooden box in his hand, and placed it on the wooden table in front of the Germans.

Haller and Ofschnette held their breath, and when they saw what was in the wooden box, an incredible look flashed in their eyes.

The wooden box was placed with a shiny black round iron rod. The surface of the iron rod was engraved with fine inscriptions and strange patterns, but this kind of text was something Haller and Offschnet had never seen before.

What shocked Haller and Ofschnet in particular was the ends of the iron rod, with the Nazi Party’s “卍” logo engraved with the Nazi Party’s “卍” symbol, and on the “卍” character, there was a strange bird like a parrot standing.

"It's amazing, right?" Seeing the eyes of several foreigners about to pop out, the major smiled, "This pattern is probably the inspiration for the German head of state when designing the national flag. I don't know if he has seen similar patterns on anything else."
