After a night of silence, when Tang Feng woke up, there was already a silver and white world outside the window, Tang Feng pushed open the door in surprise and saw Han Jiang and Makarov standing on the big platform of the wooden house enjoying the snow.

Han Jiang looked back at Tang Feng: "How is it?" Rested? ”

Tang Feng nodded in a daze, and replied to Han Jiang, still with a stunned expression, "It's so beautiful!" This ......" Tang Feng half-opened his mouth, staring at everything in front of him in surprise, the white sea, the silver-white mountains, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, even more solemn......

"I didn't expect a heavy snowfall in the middle of the night, and this is probably the first snow here this year." Han Jiang looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance as if muttering to himself.

"Yes! It was a sudden heavy snowfall. Makarov said.

"Look-" Tang Feng suddenly pointed to the big snow mountain in the distance and exclaimed, Han Jiang and Makarov looked in the direction of Tang Feng's finger, "Look, do you see it?" ”

"See what?" Han Jiang asked puzzled.

"Snow Mountain, the peak of the Great Snow Mountain, the peak of the Snow Mountain is finally revealed." Tang Feng exclaimed excitedly.

Han Jiang and Makarov saw almost at the same time that the peak of the snow-capped mountain, which had been shrouded in clouds and mist and did not show its true face, finally revealed its true face.

"It's spectacular, what's the name of this snow-capped mountain?" Han Jiang couldn't help but admire.

"Her name is Animaqing!" Suddenly there was a soft voice of black clouds behind everyone, everyone looked back, only to see black clouds coming, Tang Feng was even more surprised: "What do you say is the name of this snow mountain?" ”

"Animaqing!" The black cloud repeats itself.

"Animaqing? You mean Animaqing! Can you see Animaqing Snow Mountain here? It's incredible! Tang Feng immediately thought of Animaqing Snow Mountain, which was far away in Qinghai.

Seeing Tang Feng's stunned look, Heiyun smiled and said, "Although you can see Animaqing Snow Mountain here, in fact, the Snow Mountain is far, far away from here. Heiyun paused for a moment, and said to himself: "This is a sacred mountain, whenever someone sees this snow-capped mountain, they will be conquered by her holiness and beauty, according to the old people, the person who can glimpse the whole picture of Animaqing Snow Mountain, will be happy all his life, and good luck will always accompany him, so pious people always stand for a long time, waiting for the clouds to disperse, hoping to see Anima Qing's true face, however, pious people are always disappointed again and again, because Anima Qing, she is like a bad-tempered girl, when angry, Likes to hide yourself in the clouds......"

"We're lucky to say that!" Tang Feng interrupted Heiyun's words.

"Yes, you are very lucky to have seen Animaqing's true face just here." Black Cloud nodded and said.

"Lucky? Hehe, since I got involved in this, the word 'lucky' has left me, and I think this heavy snow will only make us more unlucky. Makarov, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Are you saying that the snow is covering the mountains, and it will be harder for us to get out?" Tang Feng looked at Makarov suspiciously.

Makarov nodded heavily, and Tang Feng and Han Jiang's hearts also sank.

The three of them returned to the wooden house, and when they passed by the door of the Buddhist hall, Tang Feng found that the door of the Buddhist hall was still closed, what about the great lama? Is he still in there? Tang Feng finished the breakfast prepared for them by Heiyun with a suspicious stomach, and then came to Liang Yuan's room, the medicine that the Great Lama gave to Liang Yuan yesterday really worked, Liang Yuan's fever had subsided, but she was still unconscious.

Tang Feng stayed in Liang Yuan's house, waiting for Liang Yuan to wake up, but he didn't wait for Liang Yuan to wake up, but waited for the call of the great lama. Tang Feng followed the black clouds uneasily, and walked into the mysterious Buddhist hall again, in front of the Buddhist shrine, the great lama was still meditating cross-legged, with his eyes closed, and on the other side, Han Jiang and Makarov had been waiting for a long time.

2

After Tang Feng sat down, the big lama suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the people in the Buddhist hall majestically, and then lowered his eyes, turned the string of human bone prayer beads, and recited a scripture, in the Buddhist hall, Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Makarov looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what the great lama was going to do next?

After reading a passage, the Grand Lama finally asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you tell me about last night?" ”

"What?" "What happened last night?" Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Makarov were all shocked in their hearts, what happened last night? Is the Grand Lama referring to the fact that the three of them fought over the jade interstitial screen on the edge of the cliff last night? Can...... But he has been staying in this closed Buddhist hall, how can he know about the edge of the cliff?

Tang Feng calmed down and asked tentatively, "What happened last night?" What happened last night? I've been sleeping well. ”

"Young man, do you want me to remind you? You know, here, your every move can't escape my eyes, last night, on the edge of the cliff ......"

"Yes! I'll admit that we had a little misunderstanding on the edge of the cliff last night, but now we've all settled it. Tang Feng saw that the Great Lama already knew about last night, so he didn't wait for the Great Lama to finish speaking, so he preemptively said.

"You three didn't go all the way." The words of the Great Lama were loud and clear.

"Yes, we weren't all the way, but now we're all being hunted down, so ......"

"More precisely, you came together for the same purpose." This time it was the turn of the Grand Lama to interrupt Tang Feng's words.

The three of them were shocked again, Tang Feng thought: It seems that the great lama has understood everything, and it is no longer necessary to hide it, but it makes the great lama suspicious, and it is not good for him, thinking of this, he looked at Han Jiang, Han Jiang nodded at him slightly, so Tang Feng said to the great lama: "Yes, we are here for the same purpose, for a treasure of the Western Xia Dynasty!" ”

When the Great Lama heard the words "Western Xia", his brows moved slightly, this was a subtle move, but it was seen by Tang Feng, at this moment, he could almost conclude that the Great Lama must know something? And what the Great Lama knows, must be of interest to them.

Tang Feng continued: "That treasure is a treasure from the Western Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago - inlaid with jewels wrapped in lotus pattern jade interstitial ......"

When Tang Feng said this, the great lama opened his eyes like a torch again, and shot directly into Tang Feng's eyes, so frightened that Tang Feng swallowed back the words that followed.

"Xixia jade interstitial? It is not surprising, then, that you are being hunted down. If I'm not mistaken, you have a jade interstitial in your bag! The Great Lama was still staring at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng nodded involuntarily and said, "Yes, we have a piece in our hands." ”

"How many others do you want?" The big lama's words were so shocked that the three of them had nothing to say.

The Grand Lama continued: "Let me tell you, this jade interstitial in your hand is the one that Kozlov dug up in the ancient city of Heishui, and among the four jade interstitials, only this one is most likely to be obtained by you. ”

"How do you know?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.

"Because only this jade insert has ever appeared in the world."

"So, the other three jade interstitial screens never left where they were originally stored?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

"Nope! As far as I know, there is another piece that has also left its original storage. ”

"Oh! Which piece is it? Han Jiang asked.

"I don't know exactly which one it is." When the Grand Lama said this, he paused for a moment, looked around the room, and then lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever heard of the Black Lama? ”

"Black Lama? What Black Lama? Are you lamas white lamas and black lamas distinct? Han Jiang shook his head and looked at the Great Lama in confusion.

"Do you mean that in the twenties and thirties of the last century, the bandit leader who once shook the northwest desert - the black lama?" The learned Tang Feng suddenly remembered that he had read Stein, and this black lama was mentioned in the biographies of Sven Hedin and others on their western expeditions.

"Yes, I'm talking about this black lama, it is said that in the twenties and thirties of the last century, after the Russian Kozlov found a jade insert in the ancient city of Heishui, someone found another jade insert, where was that jade insert found? How was it discovered? The specific situation is no longer available, but it is rumored that this jade screen later fell into the hands of the Black Lama. ”

"In the hands of the Black Lama? With the strength of the Black Lama at that time, it is entirely possible, however, I remember that the Black Lama was killed by the agents sent by the Outer Mongolian government and the Soviet Union because he had been fighting against the Outer Mongolian authorities. ”

"Later, where did that jade insert go? No one knows, some people say that he was taken away by the Black Lama's subordinates, some people say that he was obtained by Soviet agents, and some people say that the jade insert was hidden by the Black Lama in an unknown place, and he is the only one who knows the place where the treasure is hidden, and after he dies violently, no one will know the whereabouts of the jade insert. ”

"But some people think that the black lama is not dead, and the person who was killed by the Outer Mongolian government is not the real black lama, but a stand-in." Tang Feng continued to ask.

"Yes, although the raid of the Outer Mongolian authorities on the Black Lama was very successful, many people still believe that the Black Lama is not dead, and the person who died is just a stand-in, if that is the case, then, it is very likely that the Black Lama will fly away with that jade insert and disappear forever, in short, since then, all news and legends about that jade insert have come to an abrupt end."

"I didn't expect it to be so complicated. However, I'm more interested in, how do you, a monk, know so much? Han Jiang suddenly asked.

The Grand Lama was stunned at first by Han Jiang's sudden question, and then laughed and said, "Okay, since we have already said this, we might as well explain the ins and outs of the whole matter today." ”

3

The Grand Lama put down the human bone rosary in his hand, sighed, and turned to ask the crowd: "Before I tell the whole story of this incident, I want to ask you, do you know who we are?" ”

"Who?" Tang Feng looked at the Great Lama in surprise, not understanding what the Great Lama meant.

"You're Tibetans?" Han Jiang guessed.

The Grand Lama shook his head.

"Qiang?" Makarov also guessed.

The Grand Lama still shook his head.

"Mongolian ......" Han Jiang is becoming less and less confident.

The Great Lama laughed, and after laughing, the Great Lama said slowly: "Actually, your little brother has already guessed eight or nine. As he spoke, the Grand Lama lightly pointed at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng was so shocked that his mouth was half open, and he said vaguely: "You are party members? ”

"That's right! The last party item! The Grand Lama replied with a serious face.

"Nope! This is so bizarre, the party and the nation have long disappeared, although I can see your customs, but I still can't believe it anyway, you actually ...... It turned out to be a party member? Tang Feng couldn't believe this fact.

"We are the last party members who migrated here after the fall of the Western Xia eight hundred years ago. As a descendant of the party members, I think I have the right to ask you to invite that jade insert out so that I can see the real face. "The words of the Great Lama are beyond doubt.

Tang Feng's hands seemed to no longer belong to him, and he involuntarily took out the jade insert from his bag and respectfully placed it on the case in front of the great lama. Han Jiang saw that the big lama's hands holding the jade interstitial screen trembled slightly, he carefully studied it for a long time, and carefully put the jade interstitial screen on the case, through the great lama's series of actions, Han Jiang quickly judged that the great lama should not have seen the jade interstitial, at least not this jade interstitial.

The great lama put down the jade interstitial, took a long breath, and continued: "I have long expected that fate will have such a day, and now I will talk about the history of this jade interlude, all of which must start from the history of our party and the nation, our party Xiang people as you already know, originated from the Yellow River Shouqu, the grassland and forest on the shore of the White River, and later, the party people could not bear the attack of the Tubo people, and chose the difficult migration road, our ancestors crossed the holy Anima Qing Snow Mountain, all the way to the north, and migrated to the Ningxia PlainLater, under the leadership of King Hao, the great leader of our nation, which is known as Yuan Hao, after several generations of bloodshed and sacrifice, he finally established the mighty Baigao Daxia Kingdom, which is what you call Western Xia. ”

"These are the histories we already know, so let's just say this jade interstitial." Han Jiang was a little anxious.

The Great Lama didn't pay attention to Han Jiang, but said slowly: "Our ancestors lived among many tribes and nationalities, and the peoples on the grassland and desert believed in the law of wolves. Being used by others and killing each other, it's King Hao! It was King Hao who led the Dangxiang warriors to conquer the east and west, invincible, and used blood to unite the brave and combative Dangxiang people together, making the Dangxiang people a nation and a powerful fist.

It is such an army that makes King Hao defeat the Song army in Haoshuichuan and Sanchuankou, and repels the Khitan in Dijinze, and his prestige is greatly enhanced, so that Song and Liao dare not underestimate Xixia, but at the same time, because of the excessive consumption of national strength in the Western Xia, which makes King Hao change the national policy in his later years, stop the war, recuperate, and advocate Buddhism, on the other hand, King Hao took advantage of the convenience of mastering the Silk Road, and imposed heavy taxes on business travel, this series of measures made the Western Xia in the later years of King Hao, There was a scene of abundance, treasures and curiosities from all over the world, and the rich party members, especially those who had made great contributions in the war, gradually began to covet pleasures, and the original bravery and aggressiveness were replaced by arrogance and lasciviousness. ”

"Yes! All those strong peoples who rose from the steppe desert, after going south to the Central Plains and conquering the country, have lost their brave and aggressive wolf nature, which is why those once glorious empires come and go in a hurry. Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh.

The big lama smiled and looked at Tang Feng with appreciation, "Yes, even King Hao, who was dressed in a horse, began to be arrogant in his later years, and his arrogance also laid the root of the palace coup that took his life in his later years, but, after all, King Hao is King Hao, according to the legend passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, King Hao in the last few years of his life, seems to have an ominous premonition, he has been unable to completely change those arrogant party nobles, for the long-term stability of the dynasty, he secretly made close ministers to hide Epang reported, There was a war on the northwest border, so King Hao sent a general to lead a carefully selected tens of thousands of male soldiers to the northwest, but the strange thing is that in addition to the brave warriors, there are also a large number of craftsmen recruited from all over the world, as well as the families of many soldiers. ”

"There's fighting on the Northwest Border? As far as I know, during the reign of King Hao, the northwest direction of Western Xia was relatively stable, and I didn't hear of any wars, at that time, the main enemies of Western Xia were the Khitan in the northeast, the Song Dynasty in the southeast, the Tubo in the southwest and the Uighurs in the west. Tang Feng wondered.

"Young man, don't forget how the Western Xia died in the country?" The Great Lama asked Tang Feng rhetorically.

When Tang Feng heard this, he thought about it for a while, and was stunned: "You mean...... You mean the Mongols, Western Xia was finally defeated by the Mongols from the northwest! Can...... But how is this possible, at that time, King Hao, the Mongolian steppe was still fragmented, and there was no strength to attack Western Xia at all, how could King Hao predict what would happen more than a hundred years later...... Could it be that King Hao can be unpredictable! ”

The Great Lama shook his head: "The specific situation, I don't know very well, in short, the legend that our ancestors have passed down from generation to generation is what it says, and many people felt strange at that time, so there are all kinds of legends, it is said that when the people and horses left, they secretly took away many large boxes, and many people think that those big boxes are filled with the treasures of King Hao, and this group of people and horses is not going to fight, but for King Hao in the oasis deep in the desert, secretly building a new city, which stores the treasures of King Hao, The men never returned, where did they go? No one knows, however, the legend remains. ”

"What about the jade interstitial?" Han Jiang asked impatiently.

"The jade interstitial screen is said to have four pieces, back then, when King Hao came up with that strange idea, it happened that the Western Regions paid him a large piece of high-quality Hetian jade rough stone, so King Hao ordered, please ask the best jade craftsman in the world to make four jade interstitials, on the reverse side of the jade interstitial screen, engraved with a map leading to the desert oasis, Hanhai Mi City, only when the four jade interstitial screens are combined, can you get a glimpse of the whole map, and on the front of each jade interstitial, King Hao ordered people to engrave forty-four words, That is, the text in the front part of the jade interstitial screen in your hand, these forty-four words, reveal an important information, that is, in order to prevent his descendants from being in trouble, King Hao prepared an amazing fortune in Micheng in the desert in advance, and in addition, there is also a brave and warlike army, stationed there. ”

"King Hao buried a treasure in Micheng, this is easy to understand, but stationed an army there, how can we not understand this sentence?" Tang Feng asked.

"Only the immortals know." The Grand Lama sighed helplessly, and then said to Tang Feng: "However, one thing I can be sure of is that the party text engraved on the front of your jade interstitial screen is not engraved by King Hao at the beginning. ”

"What? What do you mean...... This jade interstitial screen is a fake? Tang Feng was stunned.

5

The big lama shook his head and said slowly: "I don't mean that, this jade interstitial is true or false, I can't tell, because I have never seen a real jade interstitial, the reason why I said that the party text on this jade interstitial screen was not engraved by King Hao at the beginning, because when King Hao ordered to engrave these four jade interstitial screens, he did not send these four jade interstitial screens to different places for storage, but kept the four jade interstitial screens in the palace, so of course he could not carve out the place where each jade interstitial screen was hidden on the jade interstitial screen, and there is a little more, King Hao was not originally engraved with party characters, but with Chinese characters. ”

"Kanji? So according to you, what does this part of the party text with a larger font on the jade interstitial screen say? Is it to indicate the location of the second jade interstitial screen, as we judge? Han Jiang interjected.

The great lama picked up the jade interstitial, looked at it for a long time, and said: "My opinion is the same as yours, if my judgment is right, each jade interstitial screen is engraved with the location of the next jade interstitial screen in turn, the jade interstitial screen in your hand should be the first of the four jade interstitials, the text on it reveals the location of the second jade interstitial, and so on, the second jade interstitial must be engraved with the location of the third jade interstitial, it should be like this." ”

"Then according to you, when and who engraved the text on the jade interstitial screen now?" Tang Feng continued to ask.

"To understand this question, we have to continue with the history of Western Xia that I mentioned earlier. King Hao in the last year of his life, made a fatal mistake, he forcibly married his daughter-in-law, that is, the crown princess of the Western Xia Dynasty, originally, this is not a big deal for the party people, the party is arrogant, advocating freedom, men and women love, for the party people, it is completely free, without any ethical and moral constraints, King Hao has the blood of the party people flowing in his veins, he fell in love with the girl, he doesn't think anything can stop his feelings, but, The crown prince Ning Lingge grew up under the influence of Confucianism, he couldn't accept this cruel reality, Ning Lingge thought that this was a great shame for himself, but also for the entire dynasty, and hatred had washed away his brain.

And at this time, a figure who has been hiding behind the scenes, waiting for an opportunity, appeared, this person is the then minister of state, who is also the most trusted minister of King Hao in his later years, he has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to make the collector noble. Now, he thinks that the best time has come, so he tried his best to incite the prince Ning Lingge, who had been carried away by hatred, and no longer had any scruples, one night, he sneaked into the palace and assassinated King Hao, but he himself was executed by Wuzang Pang on the charge of killing the king afterwards. The Great Lama finished this history of swords and swords in one breath.

Tang Feng sighed: "King Hao really shot himself in the foot, he himself does not believe in Confucianism, but he admires the Central Plains civilization, and tries his best to promote Confucianism in the country, as a result, the son who grew up completely under the influence of Confucianism, and finally killed him, it seems that all the ethnic groups that rise from the grassland desert can not escape this catastrophe, they admire the Central Plains civilization, learn the Central Plains civilization, but the Central Plains civilization and their inherent way of life will inevitably conflict, once they are consciously or unconsciously sinicized, The original wolf nature in the body has almost been lost. ”

"That's it! Come on! I'll talk about your tirade later, but now I'm concerned about the history of the jade interstitial. Han Jiang interrupted Tang Feng's words, turned to stare at the big lama and asked, "Yuan Hao is dead, the crown prince is also dead, who will inherit the throne later?" ”

6

The Grand Lama continued: "Forgive me! Forgive me! The second generation of emperors of the Western Xia Dynasty, when King Hao died, he was just an infant child, the reason why he was able to become the emperor was all because of a woman, his mother did not hide the clan, speaking of this did not hide the clan, she is not a simple woman, she is the sister of the king of Hao, the wife of the general Ye Li Yu begging, Ye Li Yu begging brave and good at fighting, in the war with the Song Dynasty, repeatedly made miraculous feats, coupled with the strong power of the Yeli family at that time, over time, Ye Li Yu begging Gong was high shock, was suspicious of King Hao, And the Song Dynasty wanted to get rid of this person for a long time, the deputy marshal of the Song Dynasty Fan Zhongyan then set up a counter-plan, sent someone to steal Yeli Yuqi's treasure knife, declared that Yeli Yuqi was ready to surrender to the Song Dynasty, with this knife as evidence, the news spread to Western Xia, the king of Hao, who was already dissatisfied with the Yeli family, was furious, and was taking advantage of this incident to kill Yeli Yuqi, that is, at this time, King Hao found Yeli Yuqi's young and beautiful wife - Wuzang; In order to hide people's eyes, King Hao first sent the Wuzang clan to the Jietan Temple to cut his hair as a nun, however, King Hao often came to the Jietan Temple to have a private meeting with the Wuzang clan, and it was in the Jietan Temple that the Wuzang clan gave birth to a forgiveness. Not long after Liang Zuo was born, there was a case of instigating the prince Ning Lingge to assassinate King Hao, so he did not hide Pang Li, who was less than a year old, as the emperor, and his sister Wu Zang became the queen mother. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder he didn't hide Pang to encourage the prince to kill King Hao! It's all terrible rights! Makarov also heard some clues.

"Yes, it's all for the right, after that, the Wuzang family was in charge of the dynasty for more than ten years, and the Western Xia decrees were all haunted by the collectors, but as Liang Zuo grew up, he became more and more dissatisfied with the rights that belonged to him, so he united with some other ministers and got rid of the Wuzang family, and Lang Zuo wanted to make a big difference, how could he forgive Zuo for his short life, and he died at the age of twenty, so he inherited the throne with another child - Wei Ming Bingchang, Bingchang's mother Empress Dowager Liang's family mastered the government, from the death of King Hao, Western Xia seems to have fallen into the strange circle of foreign relatives interfering in politics, from the Wuzang clan to the Liang clan, and then to the Ren clan, all like this. ”

"What happened?" Makarov seems to have become increasingly interested in the history of Western Xia.

In this way, until the end of the Western Xia, the Mongols on the northern steppe rose up and repeatedly invaded the Western Xia, from the first invasion to the final Western Xia fall, six times before and after, lasting more than 20 years. Among them, the first time the Mongol iron cavalry invaded the Western Xia was to chase down the defeated general Sangkun into the territory of the Western Xia, this time the Mongol invasion of the Western Xia was not serious, but it sounded the alarm to the ruler of the Western Xia, the reigning Western Xia Emperor was Huan Zongwei named Chunyou, Chunyou realized the seriousness of the problem, so he ordered to rebuild the castle destroyed by the Mongolian iron cavalry, amnesty to the whole country, and renamed the capital Xingqing Mansion as Zhongxing Mansion, it can be seen from these actions that Chunyou originally wanted to revitalize the dynasty and become a generation of Zhongxing king, how could he be a party item at that time, It is no longer the party who followed King Hao to expand the territory, Chunyou backfired, in the second year, Chunyou's cousin Wei Mingwen and Empress Dowager Luo conspired, abolished Chunyou, and established himself as the emperor, it was this palace coup that completely changed the history of Western Xia, since then, Western Xia has been in a slump, in the war with the Mongols, repeatedly defeated, and finally lost the country. ”

"But, what does the history of Western Xia you talked about have to do with the jade interstitial?" Han Jiang was anxious to know who had engraved the words he saw on the jade interstitial screen.

7

The great lama smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm going to talk about it, not long after Wei Ming'an abolished Chunyou and established himself as the emperor, the wolf smoke of the northern steppe rose again, the Mongolian iron cavalry made a comeback, Genghis Khan conquered Western Xia again, and Wei Ming'an joined Jin to resist Mongolia, and survived this catastrophe by luck." But in the coming year, Genghis Khan's army came again, this time it was not so lucky, although the party people resisted desperately, they were not defeated by the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army, the Mongolian iron cavalry reached the capital Xingqing Mansion under the city, fortunately King Hao built Xingqing Mansion was solid, Genghis Khan could not conquer it for a long time, he was ashamed and angry, and he led the Yellow River water to irrigate Xingqing Mansion, and the immortal heaven blessed it, the water of the Yellow River not only failed to flood Xingqing Mansion, but almost drowned the Mongols, Genghis Khan had no choice but to order the retreat, on the way to retreat, Genghis Khan ordered the captured Western Xia Taifu to falsely reply to go back to recruit Wei Ming's safety, and after the false answer was returned, Wei Ming'an, who had already been frightened by the Mongol army, immediately agreed to sacrifice his daughter to Genghis Khan, and also regularly called the Mongols tribute, and broke off the alliance with Jin, and turned to attack the Jin State for Mongolia.

is such an incompetent faint king, when the nation is in danger, suddenly remembered the four pieces of jade interstitial left by King Hao, so, he pinned the hope of the entire nation on these jade interstitials, Wei Ming'an carefully prepared a team of hundreds of people, ready to find Mi Cheng in the Hanhai, this is a tragic expedition, the best party warriors are selected, Wei Ming'an has been worried about who will lead this team, ordinary people he is not at ease, these four jade interstitial screens even more than the jade seal make him worried, And the nobles of the clan he trusted, the old ministers and nobles, all greedy for life and afraid of death, refused to go, at this time, one of the nobles of the clan stepped forward and volunteered to lead this team to, this person is the clan Qi Zhongwu King after the name of Zun, Zun Xuan had been admitted to the champion in the early years, in the clan, he is considered a talented person, very popular, Wei Ming'an himself The throne is not in the right way, and he naturally has a grudge against talented people in the clan like Zun, but at this time there is really no one to send, and he has to order Zun Xuan to lead this team to. ”

"Did they find Hanhai Mi City later?" Tang Feng interjected.

The Great Lama shook his head and said: "No one knows if they have found Hanhai Mi City, this team first came to the northern important town of Heishui City, since the time of King Hao, this is the location of the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, it is the only military town of the dynasty in the northwest, when they came, Heishui City has just been sacked by the Mongolian iron cavalry, it has been dilapidated, they took a short rest here, then left Heishui City, and continued to march to the depths of Hanhai, that is, since then, no one knows the whereabouts of this team......"

"That's not right! I remember that this Wei Ming Zun later replaced Wei Ming Security and became the emperor of Western Xia! Tang Feng asked the Grand Lama.

"Yes, there is a survivor in this team, that is, Wei Ming Zun, but whether he really found Hanhai Mi City, no one can be sure, when he returned to Xingqing Mansion, he was hit by several arrows, and he was being chased by a team of Mongolian cavalry behind him, and rushed into the city, Zun Xuan was dying, and when he woke up, he announced to the officials and people of Xingqing Mansion that he had discovered Hanhai Mi City, where there were countless treasures left by King Hao, which was enough to solve the financial crisis faced by Western Xia, and there was also a brave and warlike party tribe, which was enough to resist the attack of the Mongolian iron cavalry, However, the road was long and difficult, and on the way, he was repeatedly pursued by the Mongols, so he could not bring back those rare treasures, and a warrior from the local tribe came back with him, but on the way back, he was chased by the Mongol iron cavalry, and the warrior and the others were killed, and he was the only one who escaped. ”

"These words of his made the party members believe it? Maybe he made it up! Han Jiang questioned.

"Wei Ming Zun took out a string of human bone rosaries, which he said was given to him by the warrior when he was dying, and as evidence, the officials and people of Xingqing Mansion were convinced that there were no such human bone rosaries in Western Xia at that time, so they were convinced of his account."

"Human bone rosary, is this the string in your hand?" Tang Feng suddenly asked.

When the great lama heard Tang Feng's question, he folded his hands, looked at the string of human bone prayer beads in his palm, and said, "Yes, the human bone prayer beads brought back by Wei Ming Zun back then are the strings in my hand." He not only brought back this string of human bone rosaries, but also carried back the four pieces of jade inserts, coupled with his experience of nine deaths and life, and brought back exciting news, the status of Wei Ming Zun in the minds of the people rose sharply, Wei Ming Zun took the opportunity to promise the people, if everyone supported him as the emperor of Western Xia, he would lead the people to retrieve the treasure of Hanhai Mi City, defeat the invasion of the Mongols, originally, the party people have been dissatisfied with the incompetent reputation of the security, in the face of Zun Ming's good promise, the party people have no reason not to choose him, so, Zun easily abolished Wei Ming'an and became the emperor of Western Xia himself. ”

"Another coup d'état!" Makarov sighed.

"After he became the emperor, did he fulfill his original promise?" Han Jiang asked.

"After Zun became the emperor, he completely changed the policy of attacking Mongolia and took the initiative to repair Mongolia, but he also lived a stable life for a few years. But he knew that this peace was only short-lived, so he didn't stop looking for Hanhai Mi City for a moment, but he sent a few people to either return in vain, or disappeared without a trace. It didn't take long for the Mongols to know the secret of Hanhai Micheng, and sent envoys to Xingqing Mansion several times, on the one hand, asking the Western Xia to send troops to attack the Jin State, and on the other hand, asking for jade interstitials, which made the people of the Western Xia court panic, and Zun Wei delayed several times and prevaricated the past, but the contradiction between the Mongols and the Western Xia finally broke out. Before Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, he sent an envoy to Western Xia, asked for a jade interlude, and asked Western Xia to send troops to help in the war. After the envoy went back to restore his life, Genghis Khan was really furious, and led a large army to come, Zun was powerless to resist, so he had to beg for peace, Genghis Khan was busy with the western expedition at that time, so he agreed to the begging of Western Xia and led the troops to retreat.

The Mongols' conquest severely hit Zun Xuan, in desperation, he had to give way to the second son Wei Ming Dewang, Dewang was young and vigorous, and once again united with the Jin State, trying to fight against the Mongols, which led to the fifth Mongol expedition to the Western Xia, at that time, Genghis Khan was still on the way to the west, so this Mongol expedition was just a lesson to the Western Xia, the real punishment was still to come, and the Western Xia was able to survive again, at this time, the entire empire was filled with the atmosphere of the end of the world, and no one dared to hope for the Micheng in the vast desert, In such an apocalyptic atmosphere, the party members waited for the final apocalypse. ”

"That was Genghis Khan's last expedition to Western Xia in 1227 AD?" Tang Feng said.

"Well, that was the darkest chapter in the history of the party and the nation, when the Mongol envoy came to Xingqing Mansion to announce the ultimatum, Asha dared not to speak big words again, Genghis Khan was completely enraged, he took the sick and personally conquered the Western Xia, and vowed: 'To die, to perish, to extinguish!' From the parents of the Tang Vulti people to the children and grandchildren of their descendants, all of them have been lost! In the early spring of the last year of the White Empire, Genghis Khan's army surrounded Xingqing Mansion, at this time, the young and vigorous Dewang had already died violently, and his nephew Wei Mingming was proclaimed the last emperor of Western Xia by the people. This time the capital was besieged, unlike in the past, this time the Mongols have captured all the Western Xia towns except Xingqing Mansion, the power of the empire has been lost, unless there are divine soldiers descending from the sky, otherwise, the Western Xia will undoubtedly die, the whole city, women, children, old and young, they know that there will be no more rescuers to save them, unless it is the army of people and horses that King Hao ambushed back then...... But they were eager to see through, and they couldn't wait for a soldier to come, Wei Mingzhu took out the four pieces of jade inserts, he decided to even if the city was broken, and did not let these four pieces of jade inserts fall into the hands of the Mongols, so, Wei Mingzhu ordered people to search the whole city, only to find the only remaining jade craftsman in the city, he asked the craftsman to erase the original Chinese characters engraved on the front of the jade insert, re-use the party item script, and use the less used party item official book to engrave the original paragraph of King Hao, and then engrave the location of another jade insert on each jade insert, secretly sent four groups of people, rushed out of Xingqing Mansion with four jade inserts, and went to the place where the four jade inserts were secretly stored. ”

"The use of party text is to prevent others from identifying the content on the jade interstitial?" Tang Feng asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what you mean!"

"Did all four groups arrive at the scheduled location?" Han Jiang asked.

"No one knows, because since then, the four jade interstitial screens have been separated from each other, and they have never been gathered again, and no one knows where the four jade interstitial screens are stored? …… In this way, Xingqing Mansion was surrounded until midsummer. It was also in the summer of this year, Genghis Khan's health deteriorated in Liupan Mountain, and finally died in Liupan Mountain, and it is rumored that Genghis Khan was stabbed to death in a big tent by a party boy in white clothes. ”

"What? A party boy in white? Tang Feng suddenly remembered the strange nightmare on the plane.

"In any case, Genghis Khan, the conqueror of the world, finally died in the land of Western Xia, this is the bad luck of the party people, after the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongols obeyed Genghis Khan's last orders, and did not mourn secretly, just waiting for the Western Xia monarchs to come to surrender, and then kill all the party members in the city, it was the bloodiest night in the history of Xingqing Province, a night of massacre! In Xingqing Mansion, all men, women, and children were killed, and very few party members survived......" At this point, the Grand Lama stopped his narration and recited an obscure scripture in his mouth.

The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone was silent.
