Talk to the screenwriter, what's the matter with your unicorn tattoo

After a while, everyone came to the red hill.

What everyone was facing was a cliff on this small hill, which was extremely steep.

On the hills, there are large and small grottoes of different sizes.

For a moment, seeing the spectacular scene on the cliff, the archaeological experts present couldn't help but marvel.

On the contrary, Professor Zhou moved very quickly, and immediately began to arrange the safety ropes for climbing.

Their trip is to enter the Buddhist relics in front of them - Esai Grottoes!
After a while,

With the cooperation of the two squads of soldiers, two climbing ropes and safety ropes fell vertically from the largest grotto on the cliff.

There are 64 grottoes of different sizes in the grottoes above the red cliff.

And the place everyone is going to, which also contains the most information, is the most central and largest grotto.

The rest are generally places for monks to sacrifice.

It has nothing to do with their trip to find Genghis Khan's tomb.

Following this climbing rope, members of the archaeological team climbed up one after another.

Soon, including the soldiers of those two classes, everyone climbed into the largest Buddhist temple in the grotto.

In front of the Buddha Hall, there is a thick iron gate ajar.

And some traces that have not been erased when some archaeological teams first came to excavate.

In the cave, you can even see brushes covered with a thick layer of dust, as well as tattered towels whose color cannot be seen clearly.

"They left in such a hurry!"

Professor Zhou frowned, picked up a drawing from the ground, and gently blew away the dust.

"Even some tools for work were thrown here before they could be saved! It seems that some weird things did happen here at that time!"

"It's even... probably quite different from what we know!"

Professor Zhou looked around at the archaeological team, and after confirming that there were not many people, he led them into the grotto.

Very surprised,
It was unexpectedly cool in this grotto.

Entering this grotto is like entering another world, which is obviously very different from the temperature outside which is so hot that the air is distorted in the desert.

along the way,

Everyone saw countless exquisite murals on the grotto.

Although they have spent nearly a thousand years here, they are still not corroded, and they are still colorful.

Whether it is the Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, or the Nine Buddhas Discussing the Tao, the murals of the Buddha preaching scriptures are all vividly depicted.

There are even murals of one man and one woman, two men and one woman... up to five men and one woman in Tantric men and women, and the lines and colors are also exquisite.

Ye Xiao glanced at it quietly, but for no reason, he remembered the divination results of the six-yao turtle shell in his mind.

"As expected of...'a great omen of evil'!"

Ye Xiao sighed in his heart.

There are countless murals here, as well as stone pagodas carved on the walls, and ascetic monks sitting withered.

There are also Uighur Mongolian, Sanskrit and Tibetan titles on the wall, all of which have extremely high historical, cultural and artistic value.

Together with the stone wall stripped off, and sold on the outside black market, any one of them is definitely a sky-high price.

It's a pity that Professor Zhou, who is full of love for archeology, seems to have changed his personality this time.

He didn't seem to be interested in the things on the murals in front of him, and it was a waste of time to even glance at them.

As soon as they entered the grotto, they led people through the grotto very purposefully, as if they were looking for something.

After a while, everyone passed through the grotto and came to a stone ladder carved on a stone wall inside.

"Climb here, the temple above is where Genghis Khan once lived!"

"It was also the place where the Mongolian nobles paid homage to Genghis Khan!"

"Unfortunately, because of that incident, this place is completely ruined!"

Professor Zhou was talking to himself, and at the same time tested whether the stone ladder in front of him was safe and could bear the weight of a ground dweller.

After a while, Professor Zhou didn't hesitate at all.

He stepped onto the stairs directly, and climbed up to the high platform of the stone ladder step by step.

Two soldiers followed closely behind, protecting Professor Zhou's safety.

Until finally, Professor Da Zhou climbed the last stone ladder and pushed open the wooden door that was simply covered with wood.

An extremely thick rotten smell of smoke and dust rushed towards his face.

……

After a while, everyone, including the soldiers, climbed the stone steps and came to the Buddhist hall above.

It's not the same as people imagined,
In this Buddhist temple, it is not as colorful and gorgeous as everyone thinks.

Apart from a few murals on the wall of the main hall, six stone carvings in front of the wall, and a tribute platform, there seems to be nothing else.

"These six stone sculptures should be Genghis Khan, his wife, and four sons, right?"

Ye Xiao looked at this stone sculpture waiting for others, and guessed.

Ye Xiao knew Genghis Khan, the legendary Mongolian king, in his previous life.

Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was hunting, he accidentally fell off his horse and was trampled by the horse, vomiting blood and died due to his old age, frailty and pain.

These statues were carved by local Buddhist temples for the Mongolian nobles to worship.

but,

Professor Zhou seems to have no interest in these stone sculptures.

He searched back and forth in the hall, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Immediately, he stood still before a mural, and carefully took out a piece of silk cloth from his backpack.

Ye Xiao's pupils shrank slightly.

This cloth is naturally the cloth in the brocade wooden box, which records the clues of Genghis Khan's tomb.

Coming to Professor Zhou's side, Ye Xiao looked at the murals on the wall and was not only slightly taken aback.

"On this mural..."

Ye Xiao said as if asking.

Professor Zhou on the side already had a face full of joy, and said in surprise:
"Before I came, I went to a professor who was here before and participated in the excavation."

"It was he who told me that there is a mural recording the burial of Genghis Khan in this Buddhist temple."

"It's just that they left in a hurry at the time, and they didn't have time to take anything away from it in the future. Even many of the tools at that time were left here!"

"Now, we are also taking advantage of the shade of our predecessors!"

As he spoke, Professor Zhou spread out the cloth in his hands and began to compare it with the patterns on the murals.

This mural has a trapezoidal structure, with mountains, rivers, and fields painted on the top two floors, and scenes of two armies confronting each other and fighting fiercely are painted in prominent positions!
It should be a scene showing Genghis Khan leading troops in battle.

The upper part of the mural depicts two white yurts with towering spires. On the left side there is a temple and a palace, and a woman is painted in the palace, as if she is crying.

This is a picture showing the grief of Mrs. Ye Sui who accompanied Genghis Khan's death.

On the Internet, at the top of this trapezoidal mural, the things drawn are somewhat intriguing.
