At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the monk of Xilin Gol secretly entrusted a gold medal and Taihang Tower to his close friend Li Xilin.

Since then, the fate of the Li family and Taihanglou has been closely linked.

When Dolgon died, the eight kings of the grassland, who were closely related to him, became a thorn in the side of Emperor Shunzhi. Knowing that his fate was not long in coming, the monk was worried that he would lose his inheritance of the nine clans and protect the relics of his ancestors, so he sent one of his sons to Taihang Tower at the same time when he gave the gold medal. And set up the rules and regulations, since this son, the Xilin Gol royal family from generation to generation to send a son into the Taihang Building.

This rule has continued for more than 200 years, until the early years of the Republic of China, Taihang Lou passed to Li Wanli's generation. When the world was in turmoil, and there were endless disputes in the land of China, the Mongolian prince at that time sent two children before he decided to go to the steppe to guard the spirit, one was Bao Rilong's father Bayar, and the other was Bao Dejin's grandfather named Bale.

Bayar later inherited the responsibilities of the Mongol prince and formed the largest gang of horse bandits in the northwest. And that Bale finally took refuge in Ma Bufang, and finally settled on Taiwan Island after several tosses. The secret of Taihang Tower has been passed down from generation to generation, and finally passed on to Bao Dejin's generation.

Bao Dejin, who had worked hard to get the Taihang Building, was lying on the rattan chair under the eaves of the corridor at the moment, watching a group of surveyors from Japan carefully and meticulously measure the internal structure of the Taihang Building, and a thick stack of highly professional structural drawings was placed on a low table beside him.

Two people sat with him, a blonde Western man and a middle-aged man in a kimono.

The three were conversing in English.

"Bao Sang, the surveying and mapping work has been carried out so far that the depiction of every detail of the Taihang Tower has been basically completed, can we consider forming an expedition team in the next step?" The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the Western man and said, "Mr. Krawitz and I are very eager to know why our previous expedition failed. ”

Bao Dejin said: "The two of you have waited for only a few years, and our family has been planning since my grandfather for this day, according to his old man's last words, when the day Khan Dragon returned to the funeral queen, in accordance with the Khan's will, a total of five secret burial places were left, of which three are true and two are false. ”

"The first is at the city of Kou, where the khan's robes, saddles, swords, bows, and arrows are buried, and the maidens of the court; the second is in Ordos, where a camel hair was buried that the Khan used for his daily life and symbolized the Khan's soul; the third is in Liupan Mountain, Ningxia, which is a pseudo-burial; The fourth is in Xiaojinchuan, which is also a pseudo-burial, and the fifth is in the Kent Mountains, on the banks of the Karen River, although the bones of the Khan are not buried here, but the gold and silver treasures obtained by the Khan's years of warfare and plundering across the Eurasian continent are buried, as well as the three treasures that the Khan cherished most in his life! ”

The Westerner was Kravez, who had previously claimed to have discovered the tomb, and was moved by the words and asked, "As Mr. Bao said, where is the place where the Khan's bones were buried that day?" ”

Bao Dejin said: "Tian Khan has left the earth, of course, he has to return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven. ”

"Is it a sky burial?" The middle-aged man said in surprise.

"Niwa-san guessed right." Bao Dejin nodded and said: "However, after the soul of the Heavenly Khan returned to the immortal heaven, although the remaining bones were very few, they were collected by my ancestors and sent to the underground palace in the Kent Mountains, and later during the Mengyuan Empire, the emperors of all dynasties also chose to bury the bones there to accompany the Tian Khan, around the funeral place of the Tian Khan as the core, each emperor was buried, and the special gold bricks made in the ratio of eighteen to one were used to expand once, and the underground mausoleum gradually formed the pattern of the underground golden city. ”

"Is it true that eighteenth of the walls of the city that we found there that day were pure gold?" ”

Bao Dejin solemnly bowed: "It's true! So, it's a real city of gold. ”

The Japanese Niwa laughed and said: "Bao Sang, thank you for your kind invitation, if there is no clue you provide, even the best archaeologists can't imagine that the truth of the facts will be like this, this time our tripartite joint excavation of the tomb, will definitely be successful." ”

Kravitz laughed along. Bao Dejin couldn't be happy, he looked serious: "Mr. Niwa Yiyang, don't be happy too early, as far as I know, there is another group of people who know the details of Chengling are also preparing to go to the Kent Mountains, and since the two of you have already been there, you must have also learned the power of the Soul Guarding Secret Army, in addition, the reason why I drew the structure of Taihang Tower in such detail and meticulously is precisely to deal with the dangerous mechanism ambush in the underground golden city." ”

Niwa Yiyang nodded, his eyes flashed with coldness, and said: "That person is the guy named Li Le that Mr. Bao mentioned before, speaking of this person, our Niwa family and his grandfather Li Qianjun still have an old account that has not been settled." He looked at Kravitz again and continued: "Bausang, please rest assured, Kravitz is well prepared for this expedition, and specially invited Mr. Donald King, a former heroic agent of the Military Intelligence Agency, as the leader of this expedition, which is a legendary figure." ”

••••••

Li Le is preparing for the upcoming journey. For this reason, Fan Qinghui was also consulted.

According to Fan Qinghui's suggestion, Li Le and others should first take a plane to Ulaanbaatar, and then purchase the necessary materials locally.

There are a lot of things to prepare, such as warm tents in the wilderness suitable for the cold season in the north, generators and enough fuel, drinking water and food that can feed the team for several months, transportation to cope with the complex local environment, medicines necessary for survival in the wilderness, some equipment necessary for finding ancient tombs, and most importantly, weapons necessary for emergency situations••••••.

When she introduced these things, she deliberately suppressed her feelings of longing and envy, making her voice seem calm. But after all, he still couldn't hide it from Li Le.

The first step before departure, of course, is to determine the candidate. The stone must go, Yan Xiaowu and the little aunt can't bring it anyway, they must find a way to keep them. If he could, Li Le would like to be able to bring Fan Qinghui with him. For now, I can only think about it. Fan Qinghui's personality is mature and sophisticated on the outside, but she is an innocent and shy woman on the inside. In a way, her personality is similar to Anyani's.

The sky does not follow people's wishes, those who hope to come cannot come, and those who do not want to follow must follow. Everyone lived under the same roof, and Li Le and Shishi's intensive preparations were soon discovered by Yan Xiaowu.

Although the relationship with Li Le has never been confirmed, this little girl has long stopped treating herself as an outsider. I heard that Li Le was going to do such a fun thing but didn't plan to take her with him, so he jumped so high that he was angry, and he said that Li Le was a hypocrite who was unrighteous and immoral•••••• in short, some of them spewed out in a hurry, until Li Le was annoyed and finally agreed to go with her.

Yan Xiaowu came along, and Su Xiafei, who wanted to accompany Shi Shi to the grassland to find his father, had to stay and take care of his little aunt.

The candidates were basically set on three people, and everyone began to prepare for going abroad separately. Li Le and Yan Xiaowu's passports are both ready-made. It only takes a few days for Shi to apply for a passport, and during this period, Li Le often called Fan Qinghui to ask for all the knowledge about Chengling.

Once, I heard Fan Qinghui talk about the heavy treasures that may exist in the tomb, and there are three strange things that are the most curious.

The first one is called the Median Lantern. According to historical records, this lamp is made of pure gold, weighing 890 grams, the moire is windy, the carving is gorgeous, the lamp eye is two fifteen-carat pigeon blood rubies, itself is a beautiful work of art. But the reason why it is called a demon lamp is because this lamp is unknown, and the people who got it are all unique characters for a while, and they all died one after another.

Legend has it that the first owner of this lamp was none other than Cyrus II, the greatest monarch of the Persian Empire. Known as the first 'King of Nations' in the history of mankind, he received this eternal demon lamp when he conquered the last land of the Medes in 530 AD. Fantasizing that the flame of his life can last as long as this lamp. But how did he know that less than a year after getting this lamp, this talented great emperor would die.

The lamp was buried in the ground for more than a thousand years before the founder of the Abbas, Sephara, got it, according to Van Qinghui. But he died on the day he got it, and the demon lamp disappeared with it. Later, the Mongols conquered Khorezm, and the lamp was presented to the Mongol army by Sefala's descendants as a bargaining chip, and finally fell into the hands of Genghis Khan. As a result, that night, Genghis Khan forced the Western Xia princess Gulbol to sleep under this lamp.

The princess ostensibly agreed. But unwilling to be humiliated, the princess, who hated the family and the country, took advantage of the opportunity of Genghis Khan's prosperity during the intercourse on the night of the funeral, and bit off his *, and immediately bled profusely. A 67-year-old man who has been fighting abroad for many years, how could he have encountered such a thing, and how could he withstand such a toss, and he was ashamed and hateful, and then became seriously ill. Because this was an unspeakable and ugly thing that happened to the emperor, it was concealed, and it was only said to the public that the Great Khan was seriously ill due to injuries caused by falling from a horse. The princess of Western Xia, who didn't want to live, knew that Genghis Khan would not let her go, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the Yellow River.

When Fan Qinghui told the story of how the princess of Xixia tasted the flute and slayed the dragon in a serious tone, Li Le thought not of how the mysterious demon lamp was unlucky, but Fan Qinghui's cherry sandalwood mouth.

Li Le said, according to your statement, this lamp is indeed a strange thing, and in the eyes of contemporary people who do not believe in evil, this thing can be called priceless.

Fan Qinghui then talked about the second treasure, called the Yang Returning Pearl. As the name suggests, this bead has a strange origin, and has a miraculous effect, and has the power to restore the heavens to the end of the terminal. It is said to be a gift from Changchun Zhenren, the founding patriarch of the Longmen Taoist Sect. When Changchun Zhenren traveled to the west, and Genghis Khan talked very much, at the time of parting, Genghis Khan asked Qiu Chuji to teach the art of immortality, although Changchun Zhenren was pedantic and proficient in the way of health, but how could he be willing to teach each other to the Tatar chieftain, and under the pressure of protecting the sect, he had to give away the orbs with him.

This jewel was originally passed down by the living dead Wang Zhe, the teacher of Qiu Chuji, it is rumored that Wang Zhe practiced in Nanshan before he realized the Tao, and one day suddenly met a black tiger in the mountains, the first born pearl horn, and the weather was extraordinary. That Wang Zhe is also a master of a hundred schools, Taoism, interpretation, and Confucianism are all a generation of grandmasters, although this black tiger has the power of roaring mountains and forests and ten thousand beasts to the ground, but it can't make him feel the slightest fear. Wang Zhe subdued the black tiger with thaumaturgy, only to find that the tiger had horn beads due to the mistaken Shou Wu essence, and the pain was unbearable. Then he took the beads to relieve his pain.

Although this bead is bone, it is formed due to the medicinal properties of Shou Wu Jing, and absorbs the blood and spirit qi of the black tiger beast, and has the unique medicinal value of activating the meridians and stimulating the potential of the human body. That Genghis Khan fought on horseback all the year round, the wind and snow sword years were ruthless, and he had already fallen into a body of rheumatism and bone pain.

Li Le sighed, this bead is called Returning Yang, but it still made Genghis Khan die of the pain of breaking the sun. And what is the third treasure?

The third treasure was Genghis Khan's Great Treasure, which the Mongols called Suled. The Mongols believed that this object was a divine gift from the heavens to Genghis Khan to help him succeed in his career.

According to the word of mouth on the steppe and the records of relevant books, Genghis Khan once led his army to defeat the opponent on the steppe, suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the army was very low.

So he gathered all the soldiers and mobilized on the edge of a forest, Genghis Khan himself gave the lecture, telling many examples of winning more with less, and many battles in which the weak defeated the strong, and so from day to night, this was simply a very wonderful speech, and he used simple language, sincere feelings, and thorough analysis to boost the morale of the army and win bursts of applause.

In the end, Genghis Khan repeatedly emphasized that "the heart of the army is like iron, inspiring the sun and the moon", and its sound is as loud as a bell, spreading to the open distance.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in mid-air, and a spear-shaped foreign object hung above the heads of the troops!

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Genghis Khan ordered the general Mu Huali to take it, but it was unsuccessful several times. At this time, Genghis Khan realized that it was a sacred object given to him by the heavens and that he must take it himself, so he unloaded the carved saddle of his mount, knelt on it, and reached out to take it with his hands on the black mane.

In an instant, all the people shouted together, "The heart of the army is like iron, inspiring the sun and the moon", the crowd was indignant, and the fighting spirit doubled. Genghis Khan was in a hurry, hastily slaughtering a sheep for sacrifice, and one of the sheep's hooves did not go in the chaos, and the sheep's head and liver and lungs were still connected together. Genghis Khan made a great wish to sacrifice 10,000 sheep every year on this day, and the practice of making mistakes in his busy life has been preserved forever as a commemorative practice.

There are many speculations about this object in later generations, and some foreign scholars speculate that the reason why the Mongol army was able to repeatedly create the miracle of war in which the few defeated the more and the weak defeated the strong was actually because Genghis Khan inadvertently obtained the key to open a parallel time and space. This military genius from the grassland, who studied under the wolf clan, has reached an incredible height of accurate grasp of the battle situation. This kind of inhuman judgment is actually due to the fact that he was favored by the heavens and obtained the secret method of briefly traveling between time and space.

This statement comes from a small habit of Genghis Khan to march to war. According to the historical records of the Mongolian people, if the Khan feels that it is difficult to win before each battle, he must lie down with a big silk and clothes in his arms, and after waking up, he will be confident and win every battle! In later generations, some scholars put forward the theory of the corresponding existence of time and space, and some scholars who study Mongolian history linked this matter with the theory of parallel time and space, believing that Genghis Khan made those wise decisions with the help of the power of Daxu, first experienced everything that happened in the future battlefield, and summed up the advantages and disadvantages of the gains and losses.

During World War II, the Japanese army did not hesitate to send heavy troops to fight for it in order to get the big hand. Ma Bufang, the military and political chief of the northwest of the Republic of China government, also wanted to get it in every possible way. However, the real Daxu is not in the Eight White Palaces in Ordos. A cadre of people fought for wits and courage for several years, but nothing was found. Until Ma Bufang had a Mongolian staff officer named Bale, who suddenly proposed that the real Khan Daxu was actually in Chengling.

At that time, the warlords divided the world, and Ma Bufang was also an ambitious guy, and under the prodding of Bale, he decided to form an expedition team, and Bale led the team to the depths of the desert to find Chengling and Khan Daxu.

Li Le asked: "How can this Bal know that the real Khan Daxu is in the Chengling Tomb?" Why would Ma Bufang believe him? ”

Fan Qinghui introduced: "I only know that the full name of this Bale is called Bale Jin Bale, who is the descendant of the authentic golden family, maybe Ma Bufang believes him because of this, in short, in order to get the Khan Daxu, Ma Bufang sent a cavalry brigade to Bale to the Kent mountains, and in the end, this team of thousands of people, well-equipped and well-trained team only a few people survived, including this Bale. ”

For this Ma Bufang, Li Le still knows something about it as a native of the Northwest. When Ma Bufang's soldiers went out to the northwest to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, the Ma Jiajun fought bravely, and was known for its cavalry, and there was a feat of Ma Jiajun soldiers who were unwilling to be prisoners and hundreds of cavalry committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river. Li Le took a deep breath when he heard this, how much force and how accurate tactical command would it take to make Ma Bufang's cavalry brigade annihilated?

Fan Qinghui said that it was precisely because of this incredible failure that the archaeological community's judgment that the real Khan Daxu was hidden in the tomb of Chengling was strengthened. Ma Bufang's cavalry brigade was defeated by horse bandits of mysterious origin, and the same fate was the 5th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese army, which was better equipped and had defeated the famous Cossack cavalry division in the Far East. In the depths of the desert, they also encountered the elusive horse bandits, and the result was also a crushing defeat.

Some scholars believe that there are many similarities between these two bizarre wars between regular cavalry and horse bandits and the incredible wars fought when Genghis Khan led tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry to sweep the world. The command of the bandit leader has reached a level beyond imagination. The prediction of weather changes, the use of terrain and geography, and even the animals and plants in the wild have become weapons in this man's hands••••••

Li Le listened to Fan Qinghui's introduction and couldn't help but sigh. I sighed at the mystery and vastness of this world, and I also felt my own ignorance.

On this day, the passport of the stone was finally done, Li Le decided to set off on the same day, and when he was about to leave, suddenly there was an uninvited guest visiting, holding a gold head and a silver hoe, and it was Fan Taohua who went and returned. And when he made a surprise visit this time, he claimed that he was not representing Yipinju, but on behalf of him personally asking to join Li Le's team.

Li Le didn't have much hostility towards the people of Yipinju, and even had some appreciation for Fan Taohua. But after all, this matter is not ordinary, and it is impossible to agree to it at once. Fan Taohua's attitude was extremely resolute, no matter how dangerous Li Le said about this trip, he just blocked the gate and insisted on following. He also said that he had already learned about the danger of this trip from Fan Qinghui.

Li Le's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to pull down his face and ask: "It's not impossible for Brother Fan to go to the desert with us, but I need a reason why I can't refuse you." ”
