Chapter 708: The Great Revelation
The scene in front of me, where is the benevolent governance, is simply a purgatory-like massacre on earth! Every time the fierce Mongolian iron horsemen passed through a city, there would be piles of corpses and bones, and the slaughtered city would be left with empty spirit flags.
This horrific massacre of the city has stimulated everyone's senses.
Under the white smoke in the tomb, the mural in front of him seemed to come to life, dragging everyone into the human purgatory in front of him, and the Tianzun Lingguan in the surrounding caves was also like a god, accusing the atrocities in the mural.
Under the dim green lantern, Zhang Meng's face was a little pale, although he had vaguely guessed that the truth of the matter would not be so simple, but when the facts were placed in front of him, Zhang Meng was still a little difficult to accept.
"Perhaps, it was Genghis Khan's heirs who made their own decisions." The fat man couldn't bear to subvert Zhang Meng's outlook on life, and comforted softly beside him.
"Genghis Khan had eight sons and six daughters in his life, all of whom were brave and good at fighting, and most of them were ambitious people with different intentions. Some historians have also speculated that the real cause of Genghis Khan's death was that he was poisoned by his third son, Ogedei, which shows that Genghis Khan had lost control of his sons in his later years, which is why the last Mongol Empire would split into the Yuan Dynasty composed of Ögedai Khanate, Chagatai Khanate, Kipchak Khanate, Ilkhanate and Kublai Khan. Laizi also said.
"Don't comfort me. As long as he is alive, his children and grandchildren will not dare to be presumptuous! Zhang Meng shook his head, continued to look at the mural in front of him, and asked, "Laizi, do you think this is Genghis Khan's personal expedition to the Western Regions?" ”
"They are in the west to conquer Central Asia, and they have nothing to do with our Han people, according to this reason, Qiu Chuji did not stop the Mongolian iron cavalry from killing the Han people." The fat man laughed.
Ignoring the fat man's words, Lai Zi said to himself: "According to the position of the Mongolian iron cavalry on the mural, it should be the Caucasus and the Indus Valley, it stands to reason that this should be the first western expedition of the Mongol Empire, and the only western expedition of Genghis Khan in his later years." ”
"Actually, I can't figure it out." Zhang Meng turned his head to look at Lai Zi and the fat man, and asked: "It stands to reason that the Mongolian people originated in our northeast, and their purpose should be to enter the Central Plains and rule China, why did they suddenly conquer Central Asia westward after capturing Beijing?" It stands to reason that the Southern Song Dynasty at that time no longer had the strength to resist the Mongolian iron cavalry. ”
"Isn't this a picture of Qiu Chuji going west to stop killing?" The fat man said: "It is estimated that Genghis Khan really listened to Qiu Chuji's opinion and stopped the massacre of the Han people. ”
"Huh." Hearing what the fat man said, Zhang Meng sneered: "If he really had compassion, he Genghis Khan would not have personally conquered the city in his twilight years!" Don't you say it's a contradiction? ”
"Is it because of the agreement with Qiu?" The fat man asked suspiciously.
"Do you believe that yourself?" Zhang Meng pouted. Among the heroes in history, who is not a ruthless person, and who does not have a lot of blood debts on their hands.
"That's right!" The fat man patted his head and said: "It stands to reason that when people reach their twilight years, their desire to kill will plummet, not to mention, he is still under the guidance of this prestigious Changchun real person, how can he turn around and go west, slaughtering the city frantically?" Laizi, what is the historical evaluation of this matter? ”
Hearing the fat man's question, Lai Zi also shook his head and said: "This is also an unsolved mystery, although some historians explain that Genghis Khan was to exterminate Khorezm, but according to common sense, there is no need to attack the Caucasus to deal with the Russian coalition army, let alone go south to India." Maybe this is the difference between us and the great men, right? ”
"I don't believe there's a reason for that." Zhang Meng suddenly looked at the mural in the distance, and said to the fat man: "Fatty, let's continue to look down!" ”
"yes, let's see if there's an answer on the mural." The fat man nodded, did not dare to delay, and led the three of them back to the mural again.
"Wait." Just after walking a few steps, Zhang Meng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed the fat man, and sped up to browse the mural in front of him.
"Ah Meng, did you think of something?" Laizi's eyes flashed and he asked.
"People know their destiny when they die!" Zhang Meng muttered, looked up at the three people beside him, and asked, "You say, what are people in their twilight years most afraid of?" And what do you want most? ”
"What?" The fat man asked stupidly.
"Immortality." Lai Zi said with a stern expression, and then he also remembered many of the past, his expression was no longer calm, and he said softly: "It seems that this mound is inextricably linked with Genghis Khan and Zhuge Demon Shrine, Sky City, and Exquisite Ancient City. ”
"It's immortality again!" Zhang Meng took a deep breath and cursed in a low voice: "After running such a big circle, I actually returned to this clue." ”
"Are you saying that Genghis Khan also knew the secret of immortality?" The fat man's body trembled, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Before the fat man could recover his strength, Zhang Meng pointed to the mural in front of him and said in horror: "Look." ”
"What?" The three of them were startled and hurriedly stepped forward.
"What is this?" Looking at the hundreds of Asian and European people whose hands were tied behind him, the fat man only felt that a cool breeze was bubbling from the back of his back, as if something was tying his hands, and he said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This is Kunlun Nu? ”
Zhang Meng nodded, pointed to the mural and said, "Look at their appearance, is it very similar to the Kunlun slaves we met on the pontoon." ”
"It seems that this Kunlun slave is really a captive of the Mongolian iron cavalry." Lai Zi was also amazed and said, "But why did these Kunlun slaves appear in the tomb of Qiu Chuji? ”
"Could it be that Genghis Khan rewarded Qiu with the opportunity?" The fat man guessed.
"Reward slaves?" Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want so many Kunlun slaves for?" Is it to deal with us tomb robbers in later generations? Is he so boring? ”
"He's boring, I don't know." The fat man shook his head and said, "I think this Genghis Khan is more boring, according to Laizi, the purpose of his twilight expedition to the west is not to kill his rival Khorezm. According to the explanation on the mural, is he for these Kunlun slaves? ”
"It's not going to be that simple." Zhang Meng shook his head and returned to the topic just now: "I always think that this Genghis Khan must have known the mystery of immortality, and he not only knows, but also has some clues. ”
"You're saying that the secret of immortality lies in these people?" Lai Zichang took a long breath, looked at the Kunlun slaves who were constantly being captured in front of him, and muttered: "Just to seek immortality, is Genghis Khan so crazy?" ”
"It is estimated that these people from the Western Regions and Central Asia must have mastered some of the secrets of immortality." Zhang Meng nodded.
"By the way, Ah Meng, Brother Jiu'er, did your ancestors mention the secret of immortality?" As he spoke, Lai Zi cast his eyes on Ye Jiu and Zhang Meng.
The Zhang family and the Ye family are both tomb robbers, and the four brothers of the Zhang family followed the tomb robber Chen Tianding of the Republic of China to learn art, and Chen Tianding's ancestor was the first tomb robbery force of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period: Chen Dao, the commander of the Bai'er elite soldiers.
The ancestor of the Ye family was the first tomb robbery unit of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period: Ye Xian, the commander of the Captain of the Touching Jin, whether it was the tomb of Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, the Zhuge Demon Shrine in Hanzhong, and the later Sky City in Southern Xinjiang, every clue to immortality was inseparable from the two families.
Seeing Lai Zi's questioning, Zhang Meng looked back at Ye Jiu, to be honest, Zhang Meng didn't know anything about the secret of immortality in the Western Regions and even Central Asia, and the ancestor of the Zhang family never even mentioned it.
Ye Jiu also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"It seems that why there is a secret of immortality in Central Asia in the Western Regions, only by finding the tomb of Genghis Khan will the truth be revealed!" Zhang Meng said.
"It's a pity that Genghis Khan's tomb is just a clothed mound, and the real Genghis Khan's tomb has not been found until now." Raiko replied with some disappointment.
"Haha, aren't we in the tomb of Qiu Chuji?" The fat man turned around and smiled, and said, "Fat man, I understand it completely now, why do you say that this hill is looking for Genghis Khan?" ”
"You still need to say it." Zhang Meng said disdainfully: "Everyone has thought of it. ”
"Damn!" The fat man rolled his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "You can't let the fat man show me, you really don't give the fat man a chance!" ”
Without answering the fat man's words, Lai Zi turned his head to Zhang Meng and said: "It seems that the secret of immortality was leaked to Genghis Khan by Qiu Chuji, but I don't know where Qiu Chuji got the news from, and knows that there is a secret of immortality in the Western Regions?" ”
"Whether Qiu Chuji is for himself or for Genghis Khan, this old Taoist's hypocritical mask has been completely torn off, but for the sake of immortality, he actually cruelly harmed life so much!" The fat man didn't continue to look forward, sat down in the tomb and rested: "I said, Ah Meng, this time's gambling money, I can remember it for you." ”
"If you have something to eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill you." Zhang Meng was also helpless to the fat man, and pulled up the fat man and scolded: "If you don't leave, I'll kick your wound!" ”
"You are really lacking in virtue!" The fat man was helpless and hurriedly got up.
"The truth is about to be revealed, hurry up." Zhang Meng stabbed the fat man and said in fright: "In case we all leave, these spirit officer protectors behind you wake up, see what you do?" ”
The tomb was already very gloomy, coupled with the smoke and those hideous statues, coupled with the faint green lanterns, the atmosphere was extremely terrifying. The fat man was a little timid before, but he had just been diverted by the mural, which would be brought up by Zhang Meng's old story, and the cold sweat that had been dry for a long time fell again.
Under Zhang Meng's urging, everyone turned on the flashlight again and groped forward.
Halfway through, Ye Jiu suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Meng without saying a word.
"Brother Jiu'er......" Ye Jiu's sudden change made Zhang Meng's heartstrings tighten, and he didn't dare to alarm the fat man who was even less courageous, and said softly.
Although the voice was small, in the unusually quiet tomb passage, the fat man and Lai Zi still heard Zhang Meng's trembling voice, and they all focused their eyes on Ye Jiu in front.
"I suddenly remembered something!" Ye Jiu said with a frown.
