The Blackwater City in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" really exists, so are the treasures inside still there?

The Blackwater City in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" really exists, and the treasures inside have been looted by the Russians.

In fact, this city is located in the desert on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Ejina River in the Ejina Banner of the Alxa League in Inner Mongolia. Because the city is close to a river called Heishui, it is called Blackwater City. The ecological environment of the place is fragile, and the ecology cannot support the influx of large numbers of people. Desertification has become increasingly serious, and over time it has turned into an abandoned city, and there are many rumored gold and silver treasures buried deep underground.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and rumors spread like wildfire. Until around 1929, the Soviet explorer, archaeologist and geographer Kozlov came to Blackwater City for inspection and visited it three times. In fact, this was just a destructive excavation in the name of archaeology. Kozlov looted precious cultural relics, destroyed the cultural relics he could not take away, and looted Blackwater City like a bandit.

Kozlov led the team to dig for the first time and only unearthed some books, letters, iron coins, and women's jewelry. He was a little disappointed. Who knew that when he returned, he was told that these were very valuable. Therefore, Kozlov led the expedition team for the second time to open another high tower outside Blackwater City. In front of him were hundreds of books, scrolls, manuscripts, valuable metal pillars, wood carvings and clay sculptures. There are also many cultural relics from the Xixia and Yuan Dynasties, including Buddhist statues, ancient coins, etc., as well as some important information for later generations to study the Xixia Dynasty. They are even some "priceless treasures" that money cannot buy. Later, he excavated and opened more than 30 pagodas one by one, hoping to find more cultural relics. The damage was so great that in the end, 80 pagodas in Blackwater City for nearly a thousand years were destroyed. Later, the United Kingdom and other countries also came to conduct excavations, and almost all the cultural relics in Blackwater City were looted.

As the discoverer of Xixia history, Znev used inappropriate methods to conduct destructive excavations of ancient cultural relics, destroying the priceless treasures left behind in Heishui City. It can be said that this is a It's a pity that the result is very regrettable.
