Chen Jing dared not make a conclusion whether "Shan Hai Jing" is a novel, but most scholars today do not think it is a novel.

Most of the views are still believed that "Shan Hai Jing" is an encyclopedia of ancient social life that contains many contents such as ancient geography, history, myths, astronomy, animals, plants, medicine, religion, anthropology, ethnology, oceanography and science and technology history.

From Chen Jing's perspective, he dared not make a conclusion on other contents, but at least the geographical content on "Shan Hai Jing" was definitely recognized during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Otherwise, the royal family of Wei would not have said anything about Zhaoyaoshan on the secret bronze ware.

"If we look at the place where Wei State was at that time, among the four statements, the possibility that Minshan is Zhaoyao Mountain is the greatest." Chen Jing turned to the various documents and materials of Wei State at that time, thinking in his mind.

Because Minshan Mountain extends into Gansu Province from northern Sichuan and Chongqing, among the four statements, it is the closest place to Wei State at that time.

But Chen Jing first ruled out the possibility that Minshan is the Zhaoyao Mountain mentioned in the bronze ware of Miyan.

The reason is very simple. The content on the bronze ware is clearly stated: "The King of Wei sent people to escape from a distance and hid it in Zhaoyao Mountain."

Flee far away.

With the distance between Minshan and Wei, it is impossible to say that the word "far" is far away.

After excluding Minshan Mountain, the remaining three statements can be said to be far away.

Not to mention the Langqian Kababu Mountain at the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, it is far away in Tibet and was classified as the Western Rong tribes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The situation in Lianxian County, Guangdong Province and Maoershan in Xing'an County, Guizhou Province was similar. At that time, it was the Baiyue of the Southern Barbarians.

"The Langqian Kababu Mountain should be eliminated." Chen Jing thought to himself.

Based on some literature, the Southern Barbarian Baiyue had more exchanges with the seven countries than the Western Rong tribes. Only by having exchanges can we know the geographical situation there.

More importantly, Zhaoyao Mountain is the first mountain in the "Shan Hai Jing", the Nanshan Jing Pian", which can also match it in the direction.

"Guangdong Province, Guizhou Province." Chen Jing secretly recited the remaining two statements in his mind. What he had to do now was to confirm that one of them was more likely.

To be honest, Chen Jing was more inclined to the latter, that is, Maoershan.

First, the scope is more accurate, and secondly, most scholars think so. Chen Jing is now considering to be cautious, so he checked the literature again, but he doesn't think he is really much smarter than those scholars.

Since most scholars think that Maoershan is more likely, there must be a reason.

"Tonight, ask Professor Chen to see what suggestions he has. If he can further confirm the location of Xuan Li hiding on Zhaoyao Mountain."

With Professor Chen’s knowledge and his understanding of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he is definitely far superior to Chen Jing or more than 99.9% of the people, and maybe he can provide some clues to Chen Jing.

It is best to brainstorm. If you can ask Professor Chen for advice and help, Chen Jing doesn’t make any sense.

…………

Chen Jing stayed in the library until the evening and read out almost all the useful information, and had already made some decisions in his heart.

If there are no more accurate clues in the future, we have to set out to find Xuan Li. The faster the matter, the better. He is very worried that there will be not enough time at that time.

After leaving the library, Chen Jing called Kong Xue and said that he would pick her up and go to Professor Chen’s house to have dinner together in the evening. Well, Kong Xue cooked.

"Okay, my brother Jing." Kong Xue responded with a chuckling when she heard that she was going to Professor Chen's house.

Not long after, Chen Jing drove a car outside Qilan Law Firm.

When it was time to get off work, Kong Xue and Liang Heyue walked out together.

Chen Jing got up and walked over to take Kong Xue's bag, and then smiled and greeted Liang Heyue: "Hello Director Liang."

Liang Heyue smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, when will I have time? I'll invite you to have a meal with Xiaoxue."

"Director Liang said he would like to thank you for helping you translate the contents on the bronze ware, which solved their family's doubts over the years." Kong Xue explained in a low voice.

Chen Jing heard this and said, "Director Liang, that was not translated by me, but by Professor Chen from Donghai University who helped translate it." He did not dare to take credit.

"I know, I don't dare to do anything Xiao Chen, you are still working hard. I will thank Professor Chen again if I have time." Liang Heyue said this, and was a little moved: "I just said it to you last time, but I didn't expect it to be translated."

"I met Teacher Wei two days ago. Our two families probably have contacted each other for many years. After all, they were all under the mission of the Wei royal family back then..."

"I just don't know what that treasure is."

Chen Jing said, "Maybe you will have a chance to know in the future."

"Hope." Liang Heyue responded and said again: "You couple should remember the meal."

Chen Jing and Kong Xue looked at each other and said with a smile.

Afterwards, Chen Jing and Kong Xue went to Professor Chen's house. When they arrived nearby, the elder sister went to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients. Since they wanted to make Huang Rong, they naturally had to try to make better.

Professor Chen’s three children are very busy at work and don’t have much time or opportunity to see him. The elderly are unwilling to find a nanny, so they usually stay alone at home.

Therefore, Chen Jing and Kong Xue were willing to come and have dinner with him or something, and the old man was quite happy.

If you are old and your children are not around and you live alone, you always like someone to be able to eat and talk with each other.

After arriving at Professor Chen's house, Kong Xue first brewed hot tea and then went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Xiao Chen, the matters of those two foreigners have been handled. After the investigation of the cultural relics unearthed from the Xiaonanshan ancient tomb, they will be deported." Professor Chen smiled and said with a sip of tea.

Chen Jing was slightly happy, which was a great thing for him.

As I said before, no matter whether there is someone behind Babbitt and Bill, after the two were deported, the people behind them wanted to find the right person to steal Hua and Xia's treasure of the country, which was not easy, and it would take some time no matter how hard it was.

Of course, it would be better if there was no one behind Babbitt and Bill.

"In addition, the National Museum will probably ask you for final negotiations recently, and you must be prepared." Professor Chen said instead.

Chen Jing's heart was slightly congested. Before he found the Miyan bronze ware, he was patient with negotiations with the National Museum, but now he felt that time was tight.

At that time, either complete the negotiations as quickly as possible without delaying the time for too long, or delay the negotiation time later. When he finds Xuan Li, Chen Jing nodded on the surface and thought to himself.

After all, you can talk about Jie Lu at any time, and there are time limits to finding Xuan Like.
