Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After inspection, Liang En determined that the building in front of him should have been just an ordinary warehouse at first, but it was later used to store grain and firewood, and then was destroyed in the battle.

After all, this warehouse is located at a high place, dry and ventilated, but also because it is located at a high place, it is more suitable for defense, so it was used as a firepower point by the Germans in World War II.

Judging from the situation around this warehouse, it is very likely that the entire warehouse was transformed into a fortress near the end of the war and exchanged fire with the attacking Soviet troops, which is why there are so many traces of war in the surrounding area.

Why are these things piled up in the warehouse? After entering the warehouse, Jeanne picked up a piece of black charcoal and looked at it and asked. I can understand food, but wood—

For the Germans at that time, wood was their only fuel. Liang En also picked up a piece of wood and said.

You have to know that towards the end of World War II, there was already a serious fuel crisis in Germany, especially in this place far away from the coal mines. The only thing they could use for heating was firewood.

To be honest, it is very good that this place has enough firewood for heating and cooking. After all, it can still get certain preferential treatment as a field hospital.

And because it contained firewood and grain, after the war, the Soviets just inspected it and left it alone, focusing instead on the main building of the manor.

At least according to what Liang En observed just now, those people even took down the radiator in the room and some sculptures on the building and took them away. Even if there was a secret room, it is unlikely to be preserved to this day.

So after completing the preliminary inspection, Liang En and Jeanne took out metal detectors and started detection work around the warehouse. When they came to the south side of the warehouse, they heard a signal from the earphones that a metal object had been found.

It seems that I found the right place. There is indeed an iron gate underneath. After circling around, Liang En roughly determined what was underneath and started digging.

Since there was no one else around, I simply used the power of the card to directly open a hole in the iron door to start ventilation, and then after confirming that it was safe, I walked down the stairs with Joan of Arc.

This is so surprising. Although they came here following the clues, what was underneath still shocked them:

Box after box was packed so densely into this small space that it was hard to count at first sight, and these gray boxes wrapped with a layer of iron also showed the value of these things.

This iron-clad wooden box with the World War II German Eagle logo printed on it is a box specially used to store important items. At the end of the war, only precious things can often be packed inside.

It has to be said that these things are so packed that there is no passage left. It is very likely that they have not been reopened and inspected since they were placed in this secret room.

What do you think these things are? Could they be gold? After a few seconds, Jeanne looked at the dusty things on them and whispered.

It's unlikely. The weight of these boxes doesn't seem to contain gold, but I guess it's probably some kind of stone sculpture or something similar. Liang En grabbed a box and shook it.

But if you want to know specifically what this is, you still need to open it and take a look. Let's open this first and take a look. I hope the things inside will allow me to directly identify what this is.

After speaking, he pried open the lid of a box and found that inside the box were some sponges that were still golden. After peeling off this layer of sponge, half of a stone tablet was exposed.

This should be a cultural relic from China. Liang En said after briefly looking at the words above, and then pried open a box next to it with the same Arabic numeral 14 written on it as this box.

Sure enough, the other half of the stele was lying quietly in this box, and this method showed that these boxes should come from a museum, because only such a professional place would put these things in such an orderly manner.

After a rough visual inspection, Liang En found that if the two broken stele were put together, it would be about 1m85, which is about the same height as himself, and the width would be about 80cm, which is a relatively common stele size.

After more accurate statistics, he found that there were a total of 22 lines of Chinese characters engraved on this stone tablet, with 47 characters in each line, totaling 1,034 Chinese characters.

Can you tell what this is? Joan of Arc helped Liang En shine the light and asked. Although he can basically communicate in Chinese now, it is only in spoken language, and he barely knows Chinese characters. How many.

Of course, it can even be said that any Chinese with a certain level of education can regard this monument very closely. Liang En said while looking at the words on the monument.

Unlike the languages ​​of those European countries, Chinese characters in China have not changed that exaggeratedly over thousands of years, and the word order of ancient Chinese is also somewhat consistent with today's modern Chinese.

This is also a very friendly point for the Chinese people. At least it is much more convenient for them to study their ancestral culture than those unlucky Europeans.

Therefore, after a brief reading, Liang En determined that this stone tablet was engraved in the second year of the succession of King Juqu Anzhou of Northern Liang (i.e. 445 AD), and the inscription was written by Xiahou Can, Zhongshu Lang of Northern Liang.

As for the content of the stele, it mainly praises the deeds of Juqu Anzhou, the king of Northern Liang, who believed in Buddhism and the merits of establishing a Buddhist temple in Gaochang. It was a relatively common type of stone stele in Buddhist temples at that time.

What attracts people even more is the fonts on the stone stele. As we all know, when talking about Chinese calligraphy, the Wei stele is an inescapable part.

The font carved on this stone tablet is official script, but it already has the charm of regular script. It mainly uses square pens. The ends of the horizontal strokes are mostly sharp angles and tilted upward. The strokes are straight, sharp, steady and lively, which embodies the Wei stele. style of.

Therefore, this stone tablet that has been broken into two sections is obviously unlikely to be an unknown cultural relic. Unfortunately, after Liang En searched the knowledge in his mind, he found that he did not know what it was.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, this is the Internet age, so after climbing out of the cellar and using the device on his body to enter the content of the inscription, he finally understood what it was:

The Buddhist temple stele of Anzhou statues in Juqu, Northern Liang, together with the Fengdai tomb table (13th year of Taiping, 455), which is ten years later, are the only two stone stele carved in the Northern Liang period.

According to records, this stone tablet was unearthed in the ancient city of Gaochang, TLF, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1903, it was stolen to Berlin, Germany by the TLF expedition team led by German explorer Glenn Wedel.

After the cultural relics thief returned to China, he sold these items to the museum, and then collected them in the Berlin Museum of East Asian Art, the predecessor of the Asian Art Museum in Berlin, Germany.

However, this stone tablet disappeared during World War II. Many people believe that it is related to offensive artillery fire, but there is no definite evidence to prove this.
