What is the name of the pagoda in the Valley of the Kings?

Is it because it is a nine-story demon or a nine-story pagoda?

Of course it can't be called that.

What made Yang Tiantian feel that she might be dreaming the most was that this majestic nine-story pagoda was actually in a cave!

Only by standing on the cliff can you see the pagoda and see that it was originally built in a cave.

At noon on the third day of the third month of March, when Yang Tiantian trespassed into the forbidden land, he was immediately stunned by what he saw, seeing thousands of purple and red flowers and trees, seeing thousands of black crows on the eaves of the pagoda, and seeing the beast-like cold eyes of the second master - but he didn't see that the nine-story pagoda was not built in the open air, but in a cave.

It's just that the cave is too big.

It was so big that Yang Tiantian couldn't describe it, so she could only ignore it.

Thousands of flowers and trees stretch from the cliff to the pagoda until they reach the hill in the cave at an altitude of tens of meters.

The mountains are also overgrown with flowers and trees.

After getting closer, it is better to see the pagoda more clearly than at the cliff.

I can only see the foot of the pagoda, hanging with a golden Xiaoling, and when the wind blows, it will make a tinkling and ding dong crisp sound.

At the foot of the hill, the walls of the cave around the giant cave seem to be inlaid with countless mirrors, reflecting the moonlight from the narrow passage of the cave entrance layer upon layer, bright as day, so that these flowers and trees can grow healthily.

"W-where is this?"

Unconsciously, Yang Tiantian, who followed the second uncle up the hill, asked this question again.

The second uncle seemed to say those three words again, but Yang Tiantian didn't hear it clearly, just stared blankly at the miracle in front of him.

Blue bricks, red tiles, colored glaze, white marble carved into the floor railing.

Under the eaves of each floor of the nine-story pagoda, there are countless small golden bells, all of which are gently shaking, and the bells are like a stream flowing, more like playing an endless piano music.

"This is the Heavenly Palace."

Yang Tiantian closed her eyes slightly, and when her thoughts returned to normal, she realized that she had come to the steps of the pagoda and looked up at the plaque.

There are three dark red seal characters in the book.

Imperial Tower.

Inside the Valley of the Kings, the Emperor Tower.

There was this nine-story pagoda in the valley before the valley was named the Valley of the Kings.

Looking at the three big characters on the door plaque, Yang Tiantian suddenly had a magical illusion.

It was as if she had been to this place before, and she was also standing in front of the steps, and when she looked up at the three big characters, there would be a bright light of torches next to her.

As soon as she had this idea, the second uncle lit the torch.

"Next, he'll say—"

Before Yang Tiantian looked at the second uncle, she knew what he would say next, but after an instant, she forgot it.

This magical sense of "déjà vu" only lasted for two seconds, and Yang Tiantian didn't know what would happen next.

It was as if in the past two seconds, she had traveled to a certain time and space, and saw what was going to happen in advance.

It's just that this period is too short.

It was so short that she had just discovered this magic, and before she could understand it, it was already over.

This kind of bizarre phenomenon will be encountered by ordinary people in this life.

The less will be three or two times, and the more will even be more than ten times.

Scientists explain this bizarre phenomenon as "space-time overlap".

Roughly speaking, each of us in the universe is not a separate existence, but has several "selves".

It's just that these "themselves" live in different spaces.

These different spaces are like parallel lines that stretch out into the distance side by side.

If there is no interference such as magnetic fields, several "self" will not meet in this life.

But when an external factor such as a magnetic field suddenly interferes with one of the two parallel lines, the two lines suddenly collide as if blown by a strong wind.

The time it takes to touch each other is only a short one to two seconds.

Immediately, they separated like an electric shock.

In just one or two seconds, the consciousness of "self" in two parallel spaces quickly overlapped.

Just like Yang Tiantian at this time, she suddenly saw something that hadn't happened yet.

"What's wrong with you?"

Just when Yang Tiantian was staring at the second master in a daze, he shook the torch in his hand and walked up the steps: "Come with me." Remember, don't talk lightly. When you speak, don't even make loud noises. ”

Yang Tiantian nodded, carried the linen skirt with both hands, slightly cushioned her toes, and walked up the steps.

Squeak - there was a heavy thud as the shaft of the giant door was pushed open.

It's like the second master is not opening the door, but opening a dusty history that is not known to outsiders.

It is said that in this kind of pagoda that has existed for thousands of years, after the gate is closed for a long time, there will definitely be a musty smell that does not smell very good.

The cold smell mixed with too much mold will also be pushed open with the door and rush towards you.

This cold air is the yin wind of folklore.

Yang Tiantian clearly felt the yin wind, and instinctively stirred up, but did not smell the unpleasant musty smell.

In the breath of Lao Lengsen, which was wrapped in the yin wind, not only did it not smell musty, but there was a kind of musky smell that could calm the nerves.

It seems that there are people cleaning the pagoda all the time and lighting the musk regularly.

Well, think about it, the second uncle is idle all day long, he doesn't clean, and he still has the face to call himself the second uncle?

Following the second uncle, Yang Tiantian crossed the threshold half a meter high with some effort.

If there were no torches in the hall, Yang Tiantian might be able to see what was in it when he first came in.

The erratic light of the torch attracted Yang Tiantian's attention, making other places a blind spot.

It wasn't until the second master held the torch and shook it on the wall - there was a soft bang, and there was a dragon-like firelight, which swam around the wall of the main hall quickly.

The walls of the pagoda hall are equipped with ancient but ingenious lighting equipment.

After a circle of burning firelight lit up, Yang Tiantian instinctively raised her hand to block her eyes and closed her eyes.

It was a moment before she slowly opened her eyes.

A statue of a prancing horse holding a military commander rushed into his sight.

In the first layer of the nine-story pagoda, there is an ancient military general, on the wide offering table, there are three animals, and in the middle is a black spirit tablet, with a personal name written on it.

It is also sealed.

Yang Tiantian looked at it and recognized the name.

Wheat Iron Rod.

Wheat Iron Rod?

Yang Tiantian's heart sank.

Yang Tiantian, who graduated from a prestigious school, is still very familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Especially Emperor Yang's three expeditions to Goryeo, Tang Taizong Li Er's Xuanwumen Change, and so on.

Therefore, she knew that Mai Tiezhu was one of the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, brave, arm-strong, and walked like the wind, ran and galloped horses, and could travel 500 miles a day. Cheerful, fond of wine, sociable, and faithful.

During the Taijian period of the Chen Dynasty, the iron rod was a gang of thieves, captured by the Guangzhou Assassin History, punished as a slave of the government, held the imperial umbrella for the emperor, and later became the general of the Sui Dynasty.

With Yang Su's conquest of the Turkic meritorious service, and later with Emperor Yang's first expedition to Goguryeo, he died in battle next to Liaoshui, just thirty-eight years old, and presented Guanglu Doctor and Su Guogong. Nicknamed Wu Lie.

However, how could the statue of the legendary Mai Tie Staff be in the nine-story pagoda?

Could it be that this is a temple of worship for him?

When Yang Tiantian, who was stunned, was led up to the second floor by the second uncle, he realized that he had just thought wrong.

In the middle of the second layer, there is also a statue of a god, but this is a civil official, the same black offering table, three animals, black spirit tablet, with the name of Yuwenshu written on it.

Yuwen Shu is a Hun people, the original Northern Weekend to worship the pillar country with military merits, the title of the Duke of Bao, and then the Emperor Wen of Sui was named the Duke of Xu, the general commander of the military.

Since there is Yuwen Shu, then this temple is no longer dedicated to the Mai Iron Staff, and the two of them just occupy the first floor of the main hall each.

"How could these statues of famous generals of the Great Sui be here?"

Yang Tiantian, who has the nature of a curious woman, wants to figure out what's going on.

But the second master said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, the sky will be bright if you are long-winded." ”

It's dawn, and I can see it more clearly.

When Yang Tiantian was about to say this, her heart moved and she closed her mouth.

The last time she trespassed into the forbidden land was at noon on the third day of the third month of March, when the yang energy was at its heaviest.

It is said that when you come to this pagoda where the statues of ancient famous generals are enshrined, shouldn't you come at dawn when the yang energy is at its fullest?

The second uncle just brought her here when he was about to be ugly.

She was reminded that it was almost dawn, which proved that she was not fit to visit during the day.

"Could it be that because I am a feminine woman, I can only come to the pagoda at night?"

Yang Tiantian, who had to speed up her pace, thought so in her heart when she followed the second uncle up like a horse.

As she walked faster, she couldn't see who was enshrined in the temples on each floor.

It wasn't until he reached the eighth floor that the speed of the second master of the leading party slowed down.

In the middle of the temple on the eighth floor, there is also a military general, Changshuo, carved bow, lion nose and leopard eyes, and a snow-stepping black cone horse on the crotch.

On the black spirit tablet that is half a person high, the name of Zhang Xutuo is written on it.

Zhang Xutuo?

Yang Tiantian is still very familiar.

Knowing that this person has a strong personality and courage, he is considered to be the pillar of the Sui Dynasty and the first general of the Great Sui.

But in 616 AD, Zhang Xutuo was defeated by the Wagang army and dismounted and died in battle at the age of fifty-two.

When his soldiers learned of his death, they wept for several days.

Moreover, he is also the most trustworthy person of Emperor Yang Guang, and there is no one.

Because he was fighting endlessly, Yang Guang specially sent a painter to paint his appearance, hung it in the palace, and observed the portrait every day.

Emperor Yang always said that as long as Zhang Xutuo was there, his country would be made of copper cast iron.

It turns out that when Zhang Xutuo was defeated and died, the Sui Dynasty collapsed.

Zhang Xutuo, compared to the military generals such as Mai Tiezhu, has enough qualifications and is located on the eighth floor of the temple.

"Plenty of time."

The second uncle finally spoke again, but his tone was a little creepy: "You can take a closer look." ”

"Thank you."

After whispering her thanks, Yang Tiantian stared at a pair of bright peach blossom eyes and looked carefully.

"Why did the second master bring me to the pagoda?

Could it be that this is the secret of why I am always dreaming of a man who resembles my son-in-law? ”

Yang Tiantian, who was extremely curious, saw that in this layer of the temple, there were not only statues of Zhang Xutuo, offering tables, but also four paper figures, which were arranged on both sides of the statues.

The finishing touch of the paper figure.

Her eyes flowed with her eyes, with an eerie smile.

After meeting the eyes of one of the paper figures, Yang Tiantian's whole body trembled violently, and the strength in his body disappeared suddenly, and when he couldn't help but scream softly, he heard the second master suddenly shout: "Bah! ”

The second uncle's fierce shout, full of masculinity, exploded in the hall like thunder, and actually triggered the golden bell outside the eaves, which rang softly.

also, dispelled the paper man's evil eyes that tightly locked Yang Tiantian.

"Ahh

Yang Tiantian was still frightened, and when she looked at the paper figure again, its strange eyes were already dark.
