Chapter 34: The Last Secret in the Painting

A word wakes up the dreamer.

If, according to what Ling Xuan said, Wang Baobao was actually a weak water person, then all of this would make sense.

According to my conjecture, in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the weak water people sent Wang Baobao to disturb the world, Guan Shan had to let Chang Yuchun follow Li Cunxiao's example and go out of the mountain to stabilize Shenzhou.

After returning from the Kaiping campaign, perhaps because Shenzhou had stabilized, or perhaps Chang Yuchun had other things to deal with, he left Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he left, he fabricated a false impression that he was sick and died to cover up the truth.

Since Chang Yuchun did not die on the way back to the army, there must be another mystery in his tomb.

But Chunting said that this is just a suspicious tomb, so where will the real mausoleum be?

Chunting didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, a person was at the front, and he seemed to be very familiar with the route here, and asked me as he walked.

"Do you know why Chang Yuchun was posthumously named King Kaiping?"

Without waiting for a second thought, I blurted out.

"Isn't it because he died of illness on ......the way back from Kaiping?"

Halfway through that, I was stunned and stopped what I wanted to say.

Since Chang Yuchun is a suspended death, it naturally has nothing to do with Kaiping.

Chunting rubbed his chin and explained to me respectfully with a look on his face.

"He has nothing to do with Kaiping, the reason is because he really expanded his territory and pacified Shenzhou, so he was named King Kaiping."

"It's not so much that Zhu Yuanzhang made Chang Yuchun the king, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang respected Chang Yuchun as the king, because Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that if it weren't for Chang Yuchun's ambition to dominate the world, this position of the Ninety-Five Emperor would not be his turn to sit on his own."

The first four words are the true portrayal of Chang Yuchun pacifying the world for Zhu Yuanzhang, and the last four words are the real purpose of his going out of the mountain to assist Zhu Yuanzhang.

Qi Zhi couldn't hide her thoughts on her face, she frowned, looked at Chunting, her face was full of doubts and incomprehension.

"Brother Chunting, since you said that Chang Yuchun's tomb was rebuilt by later generations, and this is just a suspicious tomb for him, where is his real mausoleum?"

Perhaps tired, Chun Ting actually sat on the ground and answered Qi Zhi's doubts casually.

"First of all, I have to correct one point, Chang Yuchun is not dead, so naturally there will be no mausoleum, in fact, this so-called mausoleum is the same as the underground palace built by Li Cunxiao and Li Keyong, which was specially ordered to be built for the purpose of storing statues."

Shen Lang finally sorted out what happened, and when he heard that Chang Yuchun and Li Cunxiao were actually doing the same thing, to talk about it, since he had learned Li Cunxiao's hegemony, this Li Cunxiao could also be regarded as his ancestor, he couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Brother Ting, do you know where this place is?"

Chunting looked into the distance, avoided answering, and asked us rhetorically.

"Haven't you studied the mountains in this painting carefully?"

The ancient paintings and geographical maps are in Xue Nan's hands, she heard Chunting's words, looked at the ancient paintings, and said in disbelief.

"We have cracked the secret of the high mountain, this high mountain represents the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, but didn't you just say that the Chang Yuchun tomb at the northern foot is just a suspicious tomb?"

"Yes and no."

Chunting nodded, and shook his head again, his unfathomable appearance became more and more confusing to us.

"You are only half right, the high mountain does represent the terrain of the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, but it does not refer to the Changyuchun tomb just now, but it refers to something else, the place where the statue is really placed is actually at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain."

He pointed to the ancient painting in Xue Nan's hand, which was meaningful.

"Look closely at the lines on the mountain in this painting and see what it looks like."

The first three sentences are alluding to Jinling, and the last sentence is an allusion to Chang Yuchun, which corresponds to the geographical map, and has also been identified as a topography of the northern foot of the Purple Mountain

The only remaining problem in the ancient paintings is the inexplicable lines on the mountains, which have not yet been solved by us.

The lines are crooked and irregular, and it looks like graffiti on a high mountain, and although we have seen it many times before, we have no opinion on it.

"It's like ......"

Ling Xuan looked at the ancient painting seriously, his eyebrows seemed to have a harvest, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Chun Ting's eyes.

It seems that Chun Ting must solve the mystery by ourselves, not only did he refuse to tell it, but even Ling Xuan's desire to speak was also stopped by him.

"Brother Chuan, I seem to see it......"

Shen Lang hesitated, as if he was afraid of embarrassment by saying something wrong.

"You see something, it's okay, you can rest assured, no one laughs at you."

I couldn't help laughing, I usually look at him with a big grin, when it comes to business, there is such a hesitation, whether he sees the real mystery or not, even if the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, it is always a good thing to have one more person's thinking.

"These lines are twisted and twisted, like a labyrinth, could it be a map, like that kind of treasure map?"

Shen Lang thought about it, looked at Chunting tentatively and asked.

Chun Ting ignored it, as if he hadn't heard it, I looked at the ancient painting, followed Shen Lang's conjecture, and found that this idea was very possible.

The lines on the high mountain start from the foot of the mountain, twist and turn all the way, back and forth, and finally the place where the pen stops is pointed with cinnabar A small cinnabar point, because I have not known the meaning of this high mountain, so I did not think about it.

Now that we know that the topography of this high mountain represents the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, it must not be difficult to compare this ancient painting with the Purple Mountain under our feet and find the path represented by this line.

"This ......"

I thought of doing it, I made up in my mind from the starting position of the ancient painting to start moving forward, according to the trend of the lines on the mountain as my route, and suddenly shocked to find that the position of the cinnabar where the pen was put down, changed to the Purple Mountain, was actually in front of us!

"You already knew ......"

I looked at the Chun Pavilion, who had led us here, sitting on the ground and not moving forward, and he didn't say a word, and I didn't know what to ask him for a moment.

There is no need to doubt that this line is the last secret of the ancient painting, and the twists and turns of the line are actually the route map leading to the location left by Chang Yuchun.

As for Chunting, he actually knows this location, whether it is the true identity of Chang Yuchun, or the real location of the statue, he has always known it.

Thinking about it carefully, whether it was the ancient painting handed over to me, he "coincidentally" took out the geographical map that could be compared with the ancient painting, or on the Qinhuai cruise ship, he seemed to "unintentionally" remember that the placement of this statue needs to be suppressed by the dragon vein, and then let us study the lines on the painting just now, without his secret guidance, we would not have been able to find this place anyway.

It's just that for some reason, he refused to speak, just secretly hinted at us on the side, waiting for us to crack the mystery step by step and come here.

"You are the child of destiny, the legendary person of fate, and although I am not you, I also have my own destiny, which is different from you but equally important."

Chunting looked at me seriously, as if the rest of the people in his eyes were not important, and I actually noticed that he looked at me with a wry smile in his eyes.

"Don't look at me with that kind of look, it's not that I don't want to tell you directly, it's just that the time has not come, and when that day comes, I will tell you everything as it is."
