forty
In the face of the obscure "seven-word quatrain" left by Gao Huai, he unexpectedly found a breakthrough. Yue Xiang was relieved when he thought about it, it is estimated that Gao Huai, a father-in-law who is still a food supervisor, will not have much literary talent, and although it is unexpected to make some poetry riddles to make a mystery, it is also reasonable. The meaning of the first four sentences was finally discovered by Xiao Wan after Li Liang's inspiration, and it turned out that the riddle was a guessing puzzle.
"I see, ......," Yue Xiang pondered for a moment and realized that this was really the case. After quietly sending Li Liang away, the two immediately began to study the following.
"The first paragraph should be a hint, since it is a riddle, it means that the whole article is a riddle, and the following should be the same. Gao Huai should not be particularly told to let you remember such boring things, there must be some information he wants to tell you, and this kind of secret way is enough to show the sensitivity of this information. Yue Xiang couldn't hold back his excitement, went to the door, opened a crack in the door, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one nearby, so he closed it carefully.
The second paragraph is a seven-character poem with eight classics, and since it is a riddle, it must mean something. Yue Xiang also has a reputation for being a showman, and he pondered the meaning of these sentences over and over again. Xiao Wan was also using her brain for the two sentences in the third paragraph, but Yue Xiang inadvertently glanced at it and saw through the mystery.
"There is no shore in the water, and there are no years in the year. If what I expected, this is an anagram, and the answer to the riddle should be a mountain character. As soon as Yue Xiang said this, Xiao Wan understood after a little thought. And this mountain character makes Yue Xiang feel that he seems to have found the right direction, doesn't the mountain character mean that this is the location of a certain place name?
According to this line of thought, Xiao Wan quickly solved the mystery of the last sentence, which is also a temple word of anagram, but it is a traditional "temple", there are mountains and temples, which shows that the paragraph actually represents a certain place name, Yue Xiang's heart became more and more excited. It seems that the key lies in the second paragraph. However, the meaning of the first two sentences seems to be related to boats, but the third sentence seems to be related to fire, and the meaning of the fourth sentence seems to be related to the sacrifice of the dead.
What does that mean? He began to walk around the room again with his hands behind his back, and after a few turns, he sat down again motionless, only his eyes rolling up and down. I think there should be a connection between these word riddles, if it is a certain place name, there are mountains and temples, then what is next? The name of the mountain? The name of the temple?
Temple? Temple...... Could it be that Gao Huai hid all his money in a temple? Temple, what exactly is ...... Temple!?
Yue Xiang thought about it and lost his mind unconsciously, but suddenly found that somewhere in his mind was lightly touched.
Temple...... Understood, so it is!
Combined with the knowledge in this world, Yue Xiang finally understood the meaning of the second paragraph, fortunately he thought of the temple, otherwise he might not have thought of this aspect. Xiao Wan looked at him stunned, and Yue Xiang explained: "The mystery is the magic boat, which is the square incense burner with a top in the temple, which is specially used to burn incense. No wonder there is a boat and a fire, which is originally a natural fire for burning incense. ”
"Dharma Boat ......" Xiaowan has also been to the temple, so she is naturally thorough. Immediately understood, "Could it be that there is an incense burner in a temple on a certain mountain?" But which mountain is it? ”
"Which mountain?" Yue Xiang made a mistake again, and he didn't write down which mountain was specific. But he asked himself if the riddle was solved. asked Xiao Wan if there was anything else, Xiao Wan swore that it was only this time, and she was absolutely not mistaken, and there was no extra words. But......
No, there must be something else. Yue Xiang began to feel that something seemed to be wrong, the riddles of several riddles seemed to be a little repetitive, he just judged according to the order of solving the riddle, if it was according to the order of the puzzles, it should be the Dharma boat in the temple first, then the mountain, and finally the temple.
Yue Xiang noticed that something was wrong, judging from the mystery of the second riddle, it could be reminiscent of the temple, but in the end, there was another riddle to imply the existence of the temple, which was obviously a repetition. Obviously, it can't be explained like just now, and the riddles are listed in order as the Dharma boat, the mountain, and the temple. Could it be that the Dharma ship at the front hints at the specific direction?
Yue Xiang felt that he had approached the core of the problem, if it was a temple, it really had something to do with Gao Huai.
Later generations listed several major crimes of Gaohuai Chaoliao, one of which was to build temples and build temples, build archways, and set up chronicles, and want to be immortal. In his ten years in Liao, he was forced to build his own ancestral hall and various archway temples in Liaodi, the big temple has the Puji Temple in Guangning, as well as the ancestral hall in Liaoyang, Shanhaiguan and other places, and it is difficult to count the small places. It is not uncommon for him to secretly build a small temple to hide treasure.
It's just that Yue Xiang can't figure out why the eunuchs like to build the temple so much, even Wei Zhongxian in the future. Later, one of the crimes that Yuan Chonghuan committed to killing Mao Wenlong was to build a shrine for Gonggong Wei.
That's how it should be...... Yue Xiang turned his head and asked Xiao Wan: "Is there a mountain on the ground in Liaodong that is particularly famous for its incense burners, and there is a temple on the mountain?" He also found it awkward to have such a grammar, but for now he could only think of such an explanation.
In fact, he didn't expect to get a valuable answer, but it seems that God has favored his messenger in the world this time, and Xiao Wan once again surprised him.
"The famous incense burner concubine doesn't know, but the concubine knows that from Fushun across the Hunhe River to the north, and then through Huiyuan Fort, there is a mountain called Incense Burner Mountain."
Yue Xiang's eyes began to glow......
After the establishment of the state, Jin Laozhai, Hetuala.
In the side hall of the Khan's palace, Nurhachi sat on a tiger-headed Taishi chair covered with tiger skins, squinting his eyes, and there was no expression on his face.
At his feet, Huang Taiji was kneeling respectfully. He had just finished his "briefing" of the operation, but his father didn't seem to say anything, and he didn't let him get up, so he had to kneel there. Rao is martial arts is strong, and at this moment, his two knees also began to be numb and painful, and fine beads of sweat began to ooze from his sideburns, but he didn't dare to move.
If Yue Xiang is here, he will not be able to believe that Huang Taiji, who will open the first Qing Dynasty in the future, seems to have seen a cat and mouse at this moment, and the previous sharp energy has already run away from the clouds, although he thought well on the way back, but in the face of the pressure of his father's silence, his heart churned up and down, and he couldn't suppress his fear no matter what.
Although there is such a thing as momentum, it cannot be seen or touched, but it definitely exists. A self-made war maniac like Nurhachi, who has been slaughtered for a long time, does not need to be particularly vicious to others, and seems to have an energy that can make people feel awe and fear, and some people also call this phenomenon murderous.
And Abahai was sitting next to Nurhachi at the moment, she was smart not to say a word, in fact, she should have done what she should have done, and if she wanted to ask Nurhachi, she would naturally ask her, and now she was inconvenient to speak. Now she can only secretly pray that Nurhachi will not be cruel to Huang Taiji, in case he is forced to hurry, maybe he will bite himself when he dies. Huang Taiji has always been known for his resourcefulness among his brothers, and he will never sit idly by, although he may not have the courage to do anything to his Lao Tzu, but he must have left a trick to drag himself into the water.
However, she already admires Huang Taiji quite a lot, and her face is not red and her heart is not beating when she dares to lie in front of Nurhachi, and she is calm and calm, which is indeed commendable. Last time, there were two people who did this, one was Shulhachi, and the other was Zhuying, and everyone knows what happened to them.
Although she usually hates Huang Taiji, this time she sincerely hopes that he can get through the trick.
"Where did those horse thieves come from?" After a long time, Nurhachi finally spoke, but the pressure felt by Huang Taiji did not diminish in the slightest, on the contrary, the voice that came from it revealed an indescribable majesty and cruelty, like the sound of a hungry beast facing a desperate prey.
He couldn't help but think that if he got the answer wrong or didn't give his father the answer he wanted, his fate might be to spend the rest of his life in that dark iron house like his uncle and eldest brother.
"Father Khan, those horse thieves are very fierce, although the number is small, they are all like crazy and fierce and not afraid of death, and the personal guards of the sons and daughters have also injured dozens of people, they don't seem to be Han Chinese." Huang Taiji skillfully avoided the essence of the problem, now there are three forces on the ground in Liaodong, the Han people, the Mongols, and the Jurchens, and they first denied the Han people, and most of the Mongols did not dare to operate in the Jurchen sphere of influence, and the rest of the hints are naturally self-evident.
"Didn't you catch a live mouth and interrogate it?" The emotionless voice like a machine came again, but in the ears of Huang Taiji, it already carried a very serious dissatisfaction.
"Back to my father Khan's words, those horse thieves are extremely stubborn, even if they are beaten by several arrows, they still fight desperately until they die. The sons did catch a few live mouths, who knew that they immediately chewed their tongues and died, this is the crime of negligence of the sons, please ask the father Khan to punish him. Saying that, Huang Taiji quickly untied his armor, revealing his naked and sturdy upper body, and lay on the ground, which means that if you want to kill or chop, come casually.
Of course, this is not Huang Taiji's original intention, but just to strive for a good attitude. However, such a trick is left to play in front of an iron-blooded hero like Nurhachi. At the beginning, in order to mix pigs and eat tigers, he didn't even blink an eye when he sent his own son and concubine to the Ming military camp as hostages, how could he not see Huang Taiji's intentions?
He called out, and from outside the hall came two sturdy men dressed as guards and soldiers, holding wooden staff in their hands. Pressing Huang Taiji on the ground and picking up the stick is ten times, that is a real beating, the stick to the meat. The terrible snapping sound echoed in the hall, and Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, nor did he use his luck to resist. After the executioner withdrew after these ten beatings, the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on Huang Taiji's head flowed down his face, and there was a terrifying blood mark behind his back. It was difficult to get up, still kneeling on the ground.
"Have you ever met the Ming army on this trip?" It's still an emotionless voice. Abahai, who was next to her, changed her face slightly, and although she immediately covered it up, Nurhachi's eyes seemed to sweep over her face.
Huang Taiji's heart was up and down, and he had already suffered ten beats just now when he played clever to make the old man unhappy. This time this is a blatant deception, if it is exposed, it will not be solved by taking ten more blows, but he has no choice. He gritted his teeth and said with a heart: "Back to my father Khan's words, the Ming army has been scattered, and the Ming army brigade was not found on the way, but only some traces of stragglers were found. ”
