Chang Yuchun, a native of Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, was a thief in his early years, and later took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, known for his fierce and brave, often fought straight forward, attacked all the battles and was invincible, and was crowned the Duke of Hubei, and was the founding generation of fierce generals in the early Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of talents, in the second year of Hongwu, Chang Yuchun led the division south from Kaiping, traveled to Liuhechuan, and suddenly died of illness at the age of forty.

The coffin was transported back to Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang was grief-stricken, went to Longjiang to pay respects, posthumously named him "King Kaiping", nicknamed "Zhongwu", buried in Zhongshan, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and the portrait entered the temple of meritorious heroes, ranking second.

Seeing Ling Xuan and Xue Nan striding in front of me, preparing to go to the tomb of Chang Yuchun, I originally wanted to call the two of them, thinking that it was getting dark, so it was better to wait until daytime to find out.

Qi Zhi saw my thoughts, covered my mouth with her little hand, and tapped my head with her other hand.

"Brother Chuan, you are so stupid, if the clue is in the tomb, it is much more suitable at night than during the day."

Thinking about it, there is indeed this reason, we are not here to watch, if there is really any mystery in the spring tomb, it is indispensable to go down to the tomb again, so that it is better to say that it is dark.

Thinking of this, we followed the two people who led the way in front, while walking forward, I looked at the terrain of the Purple Mountain along the road, and I couldn't help but be amazed, it seems that the rumors are true, this Purple Mountain really has dragon potential, if it wasn't for the ancestral dragon who broke off the king's qi here thousands of years ago, this is indeed a rare place of dragon veins.

If the Purple Mountain is regarded as a dragon, from west to east are the dragon's head, the dragon's body, the dragon's tail, the Ming Xiaoling is the position of the dragon's head in the south of the mountain, another well-known mausoleum is located in the dragon body of this dragon, the location of the Linggu Temple is the dragon's tail, the Changyuchun tomb we are looking for is actually not far from the filial piety tomb, at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, it is also located in the dragon's head.

While walking, I listened to Xue Nan, who had been prepared, explain, thanks to the fact that since she knew that the clues were in Xiaoling, she hugged her all night, and we really took a lot of detours this time.

Chang Yuchun died of illness in the second year of Hongwu, at the age of forty, because he died young, so the tomb was selected in a low place on the slope of a hill, and this location was actually closer to the tomb of filial piety than the tomb of Xu Da and others.

After walking a short distance, we saw a stone monument on the side of the road, and the path behind the stone monument led to the tomb of Chang Yuchun. The roadside is surrounded by pine and bamboo, the forest is forested, walk down from the path, is a lush bamboo forest, and the mausoleum that often meets spring is originally in this bamboo forest.

At the end of the path, see a stone statue of a stone man leading a horse, there is a same stone statue on the other side of it, at this time we see the direction of the mausoleum, it turns out that along this path to the end is the front of the Changyuchun mausoleum, and we are not walking on the main road, it is from the bamboo forest to cross through, no wonder it is so difficult to walk.

I looked at Xue Nan, who was leading the way, and said with a playful smile.

"I thought Miss Xue had a lot of ability, but it turned out that she was also a road idiot."

Xue Nan's face flushed, and although her tone was tough, it couldn't hide her weakness.

"What do you see, I haven't been here before, you don't care how I lead the way, anyway, isn't it here?"

No longer teasing Xue Nan, who was blushing, I pulled Qi Zhi and looked forward.

I saw a road from the stone statue to start to extend forward, two stone statues are followed by two pillars, but now only one remains, the other has been destroyed by the years, and then a pair of stone tigers and stone sheep and warrior stone statues, respectively on both sides of the road, the stone beast carving craftsmanship is exquisite, ingenious workmanship, both gods and shapes. The samurai stood with his hands on his sword, his helmet pierced through the armor, majestic and majestic, as if guarding the peace of the tomb owner.

Behind the stone statue is the mausoleum of Chang Yuchun, and there is a tombstone in front of the tomb, which clearly explains the identity of the sleeping person in this tomb: the tomb of the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Kaiping King Yuchun, Changgong.

Different from other scenic spots, there is no crowded flow of people here, there is just a bleak, all the silence, in this inconspicuous bamboo forest, but there is a generation of famous generals sleeping, people can't help but sigh that life is like a white horse passing through the gap, even if a generation of famous generals, it is difficult to escape the glory before death, and the gloom and loneliness behind him.

"Look, who's that?"

After Ling Xuan's teaching, Shen Lang is now extraordinary and has a keen perception, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the bamboo forest, following the direction of his finger, we found that there was actually a faint figure under the reflection of the moonlight.

I saw Shen Lang clenching his fists slightly in the back, walking towards the figure, and I knew in my heart, this is a secret that has been inherited for thousands of years, and now that someone appears here, it will not be an accidental passing, if you have bad intentions, I am afraid that this will be a vicious battle.

"Yes, I found this so quickly."

Before Shen Lang walked in, I saw the figure walk out of the bamboo forest, and slowly spoke, I heard this voice familiar, and when he stood in front of us, I realized that this person was actually Chunting!

"Brother Chunting, why are you faster than us."

Qi Zhi looked at Chunting with a smile, not realizing the strangeness in it.

"You, why are you here, did you already know that the clue was in the tomb of Chang Yuchun?"

I frowned, unable to hide my shock.

It seems that he has been waiting for this for a long time, Chang Yuchun is the clue that we have finally found from the ancient paintings and geographical maps after a lot of efforts, if it were not for the mention of the mysterious man in white, maybe I have not understood the mystery until now.

Ke Chunting hadn't been with us all the way before, but why did he wait here a long time ago, unless she he knew from the beginning, the clue alluded to in this ancient painting was Chang Yuchun.

Chunting's eyes looked at me, and in the dark night, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

"Let's go, this place has been destroyed a long time ago, and now it is a tomb rebuilt by future generations for Chang Yuchun, even if there are any clues, it will have long disappeared."

Instead of answering my question, he turned around and went back to the bamboo forest, talking as he went.

"Even if this place has not been destroyed, at best it is just a suspicious tomb, and the Spring Tomb is very important, how can it be made public, and you have not really understood the real secrets on the ancient paintings."

Ling Xuan should have relied on Chunting's trust, and followed his pace without saying a word, while the others looked at each other, thinking about it, they could only follow them, not knowing where Chunting was going.

"I don't ask why you're here, what the hell is going on with Chang Yuchun, it seems that he didn't seem to die of a violent illness?"

I couldn't help but open my mouth to ask Chunting, knowing that he would not tell his secret here, so I could only ask about Chang Yuchun, now it seems that he is not just a deputy general under Zhu Yuanzhang, and his true identity is only afraid of another mystery.

"Aren't you curious, after Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world, Xu Da should be the first when it comes to credit, and this Chang Yuchun is just Xu Da's deputy general, but his tomb is actually closer to Xiaoling than Xu Da."

Chunting opened his mouth and directly pointed out the question in my heart.

"It is not so much that Zhu Yuanzhang named Chang Yuchun as the king of Kaiping, but that Zhu Yuanzhang respected Chang Yuchun as the king of Kaiping."

Chunting has always been like this, silent, if you don't speak, as long as you open your mouth, you will definitely surprise us.

"Zhu Yuanzhang went from a beggar to the south and the north to finally sit on the throne, and Chang Yuchun is just a deputy general under him, even if he is invincible, what reason does Zhu Yuanzhang have to respect him as the king?"

Xue Nan frowned, she was deliberately familiar with the relevant records in the Ming Dynasty before she came, so she was even more puzzled than us, why Zhu Yuanzhang did this.

Chun Ting touched his nose, he couldn't see his thoughts in his eyes, he slowly spoke, and the words that came out of his mouth made us stand on the spot again.

"The history books are all recorded by later generations, if I tell you that Chang Yuchun did not die of illness in Liuhechuan, what should you think?"

"Or have you ever wondered why you haven't received such a high evaluation from Zhu Yuanzhang for your merits like Xu Da?"

"Strange man in the world!"
