The title of the book is straightforward-"Xixia Dead Book"-the extinct Xixia Kingdom suicide note. Words are carriers, hiding secrets-secrets about treasures.
Treasure map is the theme of many novels. The inheritance of predecessors' property caused a bloody struggle for future generations.
Xixia kingdom has the largest territory, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai. It was later destroyed by Genghis Khan. Before the destruction of the country, the information about the hidden treasure was engraved on the jade screen, and four groups of men were sent to hide the jade screen in four places in Xixia Kingdom, and then the treasure was taken out, and then the country was restored.
I'm afraid this is a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. Did Mu Rongfu succeed? No, will heaven and earth succeed? No, Israel succeeded, but it is different with the support of rich bosses.
This is doomed, and wealth will eventually be swallowed up.
Of course, these four places are dangerous places, but the bad thing is that there are traces to follow. In this way, our future generations can naturally find it, and people who are ambitious, knowledgeable and capable may also know it.
These four places are the Dunhuang Sutra Cave in the northwest, the Black Water City in the northeast desert, the Black Vulture Temple in Helan Mountain in the southeast, and the Black Head Cave in Qingxueshan Mountain in southwest Anima.
The Buddhist scriptures in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes were discovered by Taoist Wang around 1900, and there is little room for interpretation. The jade screen of Dunhuang compiled by the author was discovered by Taoist Wang and fell into the hands of experts who knew Xixia literature. Later, it was given to the bandit leader, the black Lama. The black Lama was hacked by his partner Ma Yuan and exiled overseas. Finally, it was taken away by the mysterious organization leader "General" in the hands of his son Ma Changyuan. This is the whereabouts of Yuping in the northwest.
It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that the first piece of jade was discovered, indicating that the Xixia people had never turned up a big wave since they destroyed their country.
Yuping in the northeast was discovered later. 1905, Soviet explorers were active in the northwest, saying that exploration was good, but plunder was not good. Any antiquities excavated, including Yuping, were transported back to China. This is the beginning of Soviet intervention in Xixia treasure. Someone deciphered the Xixia script and found the secret. This secret directly led to the Sino-Soviet joint scientific research and official treasure hunt near Heishui City in the 1950 s, but because of the bad weather, Baocheng was almost wiped out before it was found. Three people escaped, one is Liang of China, the other is KGB of the Soviet Union, and the other is Misha, a Soviet archaeologist.
The fate of these three people was deeply involved in the treasure hunt and ended in violent death.
Misha's role is the most critical. 1964 KGB agents who were ordered to monitor him took part in the treasure hunt after learning the secret of Yuping from him. The leader of the mysterious organization "General" is one of the agents. He also plans to steal the Northeast Yuping from the Winter Palace in Petersburg, throw it into the China market for auction, and call out the old K of the national secret service team to intervene in the investigation of Yuping in Qingxue Mountain and Yuping in Helan Mountain in Anima.
This book describes the ups and downs of treasure hunting from the perspective of tang style, a university teacher who was forced to join Lao K, with beautiful writing, bold imagination and detailed description. Whether it is the secluded place where Houyi, a Tangut, lived or the Black Nine Temple in Helan Mountain, it is vivid and gives people a sense of picture.
The ending is not happy. I'm afraid the treasure hunt story will not have a happy ending. We found the treasure. It's buried in the ground forever. Except for a few awesome people in the protagonist's aura, most of the other participants are dead.
