"Who!" Zhao Donglai asked sharply.

"Chen Yang," I said calmly, "lift the curtains." ”

"Yoko? How did you know I was here! Zhao Donglai asked in surprise.

"I ......" I can't say passing by, I happened to see it, so much, "It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that now you are not my opponent at all, so let's just tie your hands and arrest it!" ”

"Hehe," Zhao Donglai sneered, "I'm not your opponent?" What a shame! ”

"Don't you know how to observe qi, don't be ashamed, just look at me." I say.

"The door is open, come in by yourself." Zhao Dong said.

As soon as I heard it, I understood, this kid is going to ambush me behind the door, I'm afraid you won't succeed?

I pulled out the moon in the well, shook hard, came to the door, pulled the doorknob, the door was really open, it seems that Zhao Dongli is very confident in his ecstasy incense, sure it can stun all the neighbors? What if there is no poisoning, what if there is a visit, such as me.

I opened the door, raised my sword first, and prepared to resist the hidden weapon shot by Zhao Donglai, I have seen the Ziyang Divine Skill, Yan Xueying, the kind that can shoot fireballs, it is estimated that Zhao Donglai will also, but no, the room is dark, Zhang Cuiping's house has three rooms, here is the middle, and they are in the East House.

I walked quickly to the door of the east room, lifted the curtain with my sword, and looked inside, Zhao Donglai was wearing a black sportswear, hugged his shoulders, standing in the room, and was smiling at me.

I lifted the curtain and glanced at Zhang Cuiping on the kang, her clothes had been torn in half, and she was wrapping herself in a quilt, only two calves were exposed, one foot was wearing socks, and the other was not.

"Hehe, Yoko, I didn't expect you to be alive," Zhao Donglai sneered, glanced at the top of my head, and was slightly surprised, "Green, green?" ”

"I'm a green gas now, you tell me, how do you die?" I laughed.

"For the sake of the three-year classmates, let the brothers go, and when the treasure is found, I will share half of it, how about it?" Zhao Donglai directly offered the negotiation price.

But he underestimated my character, would I be the kind of person who bows down to money?

At least for now, when I saw that Zhao Donglai was not carrying a weapon, I put down my sword and pointed to the chair: "Sit down, let's talk." ”

You can't come in vain, you have to ask things clearly.

Zhao Donglai already knew that he was definitely not my opponent now, so he had to obediently sit down, sit down, I sat on the edge of the kang, took out a cigarette from my pocket, smoked one, and threw it to him, he had his own lighter, lit it.

"Xiaoyang, save my aunt." Zhang Cuiping whispered behind me.

"Don't worry, it's okay," I persuaded her, and turned to Zhao Donglai again, "Let's talk about the treasure." ”

"You have to promise not to kill me first."

"What good will it do me if I kill you?" I laughed, "It's still the treasure that attracts me a little more, and I've been a little tight lately." ”

Zhao Donglai glanced at my wrist: "Heh, you have brought Vacheron Constantin, and you still say that you are short of money?" It's not low, right? ”

"Where is the dead man's money so easy to make," I slumped my waist, "stop talking nonsense, and talk about it before I change my mind." ”

"Okay," Zhao Donglai took a puff of cigarette, "Yoko, let me ask you, do you know how many years of the Qing Dynasty?" How many emperors? ”

"More than 300 years, 12 emperors." I blurted out, it's written in the history books.

"Then do you know where the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty are?"

I thought about it: "Qing Dongling, Qing Xiling, are all in Hebei, uh...... The mausoleums of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji seem to be in Shengjing. ”

"That's right," Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "It's a pity, this is all deceiving the world, the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except for the last two Guangxu and Puyi, the real burial sites of the other ten emperors are not in the above three cemeteries, but, outside the pass, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

My heart shook slightly, is there such a thing?

"What proof is that?" I asked, "The mausoleum of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has basically been opened, and it has been verified that it is the emperor's mausoleum." ”

"What is verification?" Zhao Donglai asked.

"Corpses." I said that when the mausoleum was excavated (and most of them were robbed), there were bodies in the coffins.

"Hehe, Yoko, you're a Manchu, right?"

I nodded.

"Since ancient times, the Manchus have practiced cremation and refining people into ashes after death, and this custom has been maintained to this day, right?"

I nodded again, it is true, the Han people are used to burial, but the Manchus have been cremated since the time of the Jurchens, and the Republic of China was burial, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to save land resources, the state stipulates that except for some ethnic minorities, the Han and several other large ethnic groups must implement the cremation system, which is also learned from the Manchus.

"Since the Manchu custom is cremation, then why, the emperor has a corpse?" Zhao Donglai asked.

I blinked, as if it was like this oh, very strange: "Why?" ”

"In order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent tomb robbery," Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "With the scientific and technological level of the Qing Dynasty, how could it be possible to make tombs that were so easy to steal as Dongling and Xiling?" And it was made with great fanfare and undisguised, so that during the Republic of China, it was almost stolen and excavated? ”

"Are there any other cemeteries?" I frowned and asked, "You said just now that there are only ten emperors, what about Guangxu and Puyi?" ”

"When Guangxu died, it was in 1908, the northeast had been occupied by Japan and Russia, and the Empress Dowager of the West had to bury him in Guannei in order not to expose the royal cemetery. Therefore, outside the gate is the Mausoleum of the Ten Emperors, from Nurhachi to Emperor Tongzhi. Not only is there a cemetery, but in the cemetery, there are burial goods far more than the East and West Tombs. Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it implemented a 'ban order', and the Han people were not allowed to go out of the customs to the northeast, for fear that they would accidentally hit and find the tomb of the Dragon Vein Emperor. This is also the biggest secret of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 300 years, and few people know it. ”

"Since it's the biggest secret, how do you know that?" I asked, it sounded like a piece of nonsense.

"But whenever there is news, there will always be a time when it will be revealed," Zhao Donglai smiled mysteriously, got up from the chair, threw the cigarette butt, and stepped on it, "Okay, I have already told you half of the secret, you let me go first, and when I get to a safe place, I will naturally tell you the other half of the secret." ”

"Hehe, take a broken story, just want to lie to me?" I chuckled and picked up my sword again, "Are you a fool for me?" Keep making up, no, keep talking. ”

Zhao Donglai's face changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Yoko, don't kill them all, I have to remind you that without me, even if you know all the secrets, you won't be able to find the treasures of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"At least you'll have to tell me, what's the treasure map?" I took a step back and asked, I really don't want to kill him, because there is no point, tomorrow, I will send Zhang Cuiping to the capital, away from the land of right and wrong.

Zhao Donglai saw that I had a resolute attitude, so he had to sit back in the chair, asked me for another cigarette, lit it, and said unhurriedly: "Do you remember the green dragon?" ”

"Of course." I looked back at Zhang Cuiping, she looked confused, I suspected, maybe Zhang Cuiping didn't know the true identity of Qinglong, after all, that guy can transform into a human and looks quite handsome.

"That batch of treasures is in the Changbai Mountain, when Nurhachi was in the time, he signed a contract with Qinglong, so that Qinglong is responsible for protecting this batch of treasures, in addition to the royal family of all dynasties, only Qinglong knows where the treasure is hidden."

"Isn't there someone else in charge of building a mausoleum and sending a funeral?" I asked.

"Hehe," Zhao Donglai sneered, "If you are Nurhachi, in the terms of the contract with Qinglong, what will he do with the relevant personnel?" ”

I thought about it and suddenly realized: "In the past three hundred years, all the people who came to the imperial tomb have gone and never returned?!" ”

"Exactly. Every time the emperor dies, the new emperor will send someone to find Qinglong, and Qinglong is responsible for bringing the burial team to the location of the imperial tomb, and after the burial is completed, Qinglong will kill all the people present, leaving no one behind. Zhao Donglai said coldly.

Sure enough, it is related to Qinglong, I remember Yang Liu told me that my grandfather, that is, my grandmother's father, went to Qinglong, it seems that he went with a minister, to talk on behalf of the royal family, maybe, just to inquire about the hiding place of this batch of treasures?

"Then Qinglong should know where the treasure is, why do you need any treasure map?" I asked.

"Originally, there was no treasure map," Zhao Donglai took a deep puff of smoke, "but in 1702, that is, during the Kangxi period, the Changbai Mountain volcano erupted once, almost killing Qinglong, so he had to flee back to the demon world for temporary refuge." When he came back, he found that the topography and landform of Changbai Mountain had undergone great changes because of the volcanic eruption, and the reference objects that were originally looking for the imperial tomb had moved their positions and could not be found. ”

"At that time, Kangxi had been the emperor for more than 40 years, and he could die at any time, Qinglong didn't want to break the contract, so he hurriedly found the location of the imperial tomb, one year, two years, three years, four years, he searched the entire Changbai Mountain, but he didn't find it, so he had to tell Kangxi the truth."

"Kangxi is also very anxious, the ancestral grave is gone, how can it be done, where will he, and the future children and grandchildren of the emperors be buried? So he sent troops out of the pass, went up to Changbai Mountain, helped Qinglong to find it together, and even he himself came to the gate, which was also one of the few times Kangxi Ye went out of the customs to patrol fortunately, don't believe it, you can check the history, it happened in June 1707. ”

"I don't believe that you, a scumbag of liberal arts, can make up so much history," I laughed, "So, Dongzi, I believe what you said is true, keep talking." ”

Zhao Donglai smiled ashamedly, hearing me call him Dongzi, I guess my heart also warmed up, if he is forced to leave now, to be honest, I really won't stop him, there are two reasons.

First, I don't have any deep hatred with him, he just deceived me once, and he didn't cause any losses, that time he kidnapped Zhang Anqi, even if Zhao Dong didn't come forward, just relying on those two purple qi dragons, he could succeed, after all, the strength of the Yin Cha Mansion and my side was very weak at that time, but if it was the little dragon who did it, it was very likely that I would die in their hands, so, in a sense, Zhao Dong came to save his life.

Second, after all, we are brothers who have lived in the same dormitory for three years, at that time, my family conditions were not good, Zhao Donglai's family conditions were good, he helped me a lot, instant noodles deliberately soaked two bowls, said that I couldn't eat, give me a little bit, bought clothes and said that they didn't fit well, and gave them to me directly, this kind of thing happens a lot, so to say that I don't have feelings for Donglai as a brother, it is not realistic at all.

"Good!" Zhao Donglai finished smoking and slapped his thigh, "I also believe you once, I told you all, our brothers have wealth together!" ”

I nodded, buckling my sword into a belt as a sign of sincerity.

Kangxi dispatched tens of thousands of troops to search the mountains, it took half a year, but he still didn't find it, he was afraid of leaking the news, so he had to withdraw the team, leave the team, and have been helping Qinglong search, this search, is more than ten years! Qinglong knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't let Kangxi die without a place to bury it, so he kept taking the best immortal medicine in the demon world to renew Kangxi's life, and finally, in the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, the imperial tomb was found, and the original mausoleum was in a col with excellent feng shui, because of the volcanic eruption, as well as the earthquake, the location of the mausoleum moved far away, and the whole moved to the bottom of a small volcanic lake, so it took so long. ”

"Kangxi, as the longest-reigning emperor in history, is it because Qinglong gave him a new life?" I smiled and said, Kangxi reigned for 61 years, the most in Chinese history.

Zhao Donglai nodded: "It sounds ridiculous, but that's the case, not only has Kangxi reigned for a long time, but his grandson, Qianlong, also became the longest-lived emperor in history because he got the demon elixir secretly left to him by his grandfather." ”

I nodded, I know this, Qianlong lived to be eighty-nine years old, and he could have broken his grandfather's record of 61 years of reign, but he had an agreement with his grandfather that he could not surpass his grandfather, so in the last three years of his life, he gave way to Emperor Jiaqing and became the emperor himself.

And the reason why Qianlong is not as good as his grandfather Kangxi, now that he analyzes it, it should be a prerequisite for Kangxi to give him immortal medicine.

This may have been the case at the time.

Kangxi beckoned to his little grandson: "Hongli, grandpa gives you a little good thing, don't honor your father (Yongzheng), eat a little by yourself every month, I will ensure your longevity, but Hongli, you have to promise grandpa a condition." ”

Qianlong asked, "What conditions, grandpa?" ”

"In the future, when you become the emperor, you won't be able to reign longer than your grandfather!"

"Okay, grandpa!" Qianlong said.

I don't know if this kind of elixir, the demon clan still has it, the demon clan people generally live a long life, often hundreds of years of life, if the people in the yang world eat a little, although, not to live as a king eight turtles, can also prolong life, right?

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Donglai asked, "Are you doubting the existence of this immortal medicine?" ”

I didn't say anything, and threw him another cigarette.

"Hehe," Zhao Donglai smiled slightly, "You can take a look at Baidu, see how old those founding heroes are, how old are they, and there are countless people who are over 100 years old, do you think it's just because of the medical technology of 301 Hospital?" ”

"You mean to say that the Yang Realm is still asking for immortal medicine from the demon clan?" I asked.

He is telling the truth, just look at the obituary that appears on TV from time to time.

"No, no, no, the immortal medicine is a commodity that the demon clan strictly prohibits exporting, and the royal family is not enough to use it, where is there so much for the Yang Realm? It's all smuggled in recent decades, and the quantity is scarce, so after getting it back, it won't be resold to the people, and the upper echelons will use it themselves - aren't you very familiar with the dragon group? They have a department, called Nineteen, which is dedicated to this. ”

"Really? I asked them back," I laughed, "and go on." ”

Zhao Donglai nodded: "After Kangxi was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Qinglong killed all the insiders as usual and waited for Yongzheng to die, but he was worried that the Changbai Mountain volcano would erupt again, causing geographical displacement, so he found a very famous feng shui sorcerer at that time, drew a treasure map, and marked all the possible locations of the imperial mausoleum through calculation. ”

"Sure enough, in 1903, the Changbai Mountain volcano erupted again, and the location of the imperial tomb moved significantly, but unfortunately, Qinglong lost the treasure map at that time, and could not calculate the location that the imperial tomb might move to, so he lost contact with the imperial tomb again." Zhao Donglai said disappointedly, feeling that this green dragon, as the guardian of the Dragon Vein Imperial Mausoleum, was a little unreliable, and his memory was not good.

"Qinglong's treasure map, it's on Zhang Anqi?" I asked.

Zhao Donglai shook his head: "No, no, he did lose it, but the warlock, at that time, made a backup of the treasure map, which has been kept by the descendants, this is Qinglong's acquiescence, after his own picture was lost, Qinglong looked for the warlock's descendants, but found that the warlock's descendants had already moved and disappeared, until more than 90 years later, Qinglong found the warlock's descendants, that person, is——"

As he spoke, Zhao Donglai pointed behind me.

When I turned around, Zhang Cuiping was still confused, and found that we were both looking at her, Zhang Cuiping pointed at herself: "Is it?" ”

"It's not you," Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "who else could it be?" Sister Zhang, I apologize to you for what happened just now, in fact, I don't mean to bully you, I just want you to tell Zhang Anqi's whereabouts, I am not that kind of hooligan, this is something that Yoko can testify to. Besides, with your relationship with Qinglong, how dare I really bully you! ”

I glanced at Zhao Donglai, how do I know if you are that kind of person? However, his last sentence has some truth, if Qinglong finds out and Zhao Donglai forces his woman, he will definitely cross the ocean to kill him.

But then again, Zhang Cuiping definitely belongs to the kind of woman who still has charm, not to mention Zhao Donglai, even when I came in just now, I saw her untidy and shrunken in a few miles of Chu Chu's moving appearance, and her careful thoughts moved, she should be about forty years old this year, but she is very well maintained (I don't know if it has anything to do with Qinglong), if you put on makeup and dress up a little, saying that she is a young woman of twenty-six or seven years old, no one should doubt it.

"Sister Zhang, your family should have a sheepskin genealogy, right?" Zhao Dong came to ask, and Zhang Cuiping nodded blankly.

"Your eleventh ancestor is that warlock, called Zhang Huoyun, don't believe it, you take out the family tree and see if I'm lying." Zhao Donglai said with a smile, the last sentence was for me.

Zhang Cuiping looked at me, I nodded, Zhang Cuiping wrapped in a quilt, crawled to an old cabinet on the kang, opened it, took out a lot of neatly stacked clothes, took out a thing wrapped in red cloth, and handed it to me.

I unfolded the red cloth, and it was indeed a parchment roll, Zhao Donglai also came over curiously, I glanced at him vigilantly, Zhao Donglai's eyes were calm as water, I no longer watched out for him, opened the parchment roll, it was full of small characters, and in the bottom row, there was Zhang Cuiping's name, and there were about 30 people in the previous generation, but in this generation, there was only herself, I don't know why.

After a general observation, I found that the women in her family are also in the family tree, but many of them are out of file, indicating that the descendants of women are no longer in the family tree, after all, they are people with foreign surnames.

Counting up from generation to generation, on the fifth generation, I found a familiar name, Zhang Zhidong?! It can't be the late Qing celebrity, right?

Ignore him for a moment, continue to count up, count to the eleventh generation, there are many brothers and sisters horizontally, looking from right to left, the fourth - sure enough- Zhang Huoyun.

From Zhang Huoyun, looking down from generation to generation, I found Zhang Cuiping's name again, indicating that she is indeed a direct descendant of Zhang Huoyun.

"What about the others?" I pointed to the last row and asked Zhang Cuiping.

Zhang Cuiping shook her head: "Not long after I remember, my parents passed away, and they didn't tell me about other clansmen, only asked me to add my name." ”

Zhao Donglai turned the parchment roll over, looked at the back, there was nothing, but there was a part of the obvious color difference from other sheepskins, about the size of an A4 paper, Zhao Donglai gestured there with his hand, as if he was saying to himself: "The original treasure map should be inlaid here." ”

"Impressions?" I asked Zhang Cuiping.

Zhang Cuiping shook her head: "I rarely take it out, I vaguely remember when I was a child, there were indeed some patterns on the back, but when I grew up, it was gone, and it became what it is now." ”

"When did you say when you grew up?" Zhao Donglai asked.

Zhang Cuiping thought for a while: "When I was pregnant with Qiqi, I was very fierce at that time, thinking that there was a boy in my belly, and I was not married anyway, so I thought about letting him have my surname after he was born, and wrote his name into the family tree, so I took it out to check what character he should be ranked into." ”

Zhang Cuiping said, pointing to the upper left corner of the parchment scroll, where there was a three-line poem, written in the words that should be arranged by each generation.

Li Zhengfeng volcano.

The Pill of Yukejin.

Zhu Chungong Cui'an.

"Only fifteen generations?" I asked.

"They are a feng shui family," Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "I may have expected that in the fifteenth generation, the clan will end." ”

Zhang Anqi, who happens to be the fifteenth, she is already half human and half demon, her descendants, most likely a demon, even the race has changed, how to put it in the family tree, back then, the person who formulated the order of generations must be a master.

"That treasure map," Zhao Donglai turned over the parchment roll again, "It should have been taken away by Qinglong, but I heard him say it himself, saying that the treasure map, he put it on Zhang Anqi's body......"

"What are you talking about Qinglong?" Zhang Cuiping scratched her head and asked.

"Who's Kiki's dad?" I asked rhetorically.

Zhang Cuiping's face was slightly red: "Uh...... He's a foreigner. ”

"Do you know his identity?" I asked again, and Zhang Cuiping shook her head and was silent.

"He's a dragon demon who can take on the form of a human, and moreover, he has a human ...... Some abilities as a man. I put it mildly.

"What ability?" Zhang Cuiping still didn't understand, and frowned and asked.

"The ability to get you pregnant." Zhao Donglai said bluntly.

"Tell me, isn't there such a thing?" I smiled, I was still very interested in the past of Qinglong and Zhang Cuiping eighteen years ago.

Zhang Cuiping's face turned even redder, nodded and admitted, and said quietly: "That night, a man came to the house, saying that he wanted to ask for saliva to drink, so I let him into the room, and after the man drank water, he said that he was too tired to walk, and asked me if it was convenient for him to spend the night?" ”

"You're going to let it go?" Zhao Donglai seems to be more interested than me.

"Of course not," Zhang Cuiping anxiously defended, "I was still a yellow flower girl, so I drove him away, the next morning, I got up and found that he actually slept on the firewood pile in the yard, it was winter, I was afraid that he would freeze to death, so I let him into the house to keep warm, he said no, said to go to the back mountain to hunt for me." When the evening came, he came back with a lot of rabbits, roe deer, and pheasants, and he did not go into the house, but continued to sleep in the haystacks, and so on for three days. ”

"Curious about the way to pick up girls," Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "And then?" ”

Then I asked him, who are you, where are you from, and why are you staying at my house? He didn't speak, he silently helped me with the work, cleaned up the house, repaired even the broken house, and went to the mountains to pull firewood, which was enough for three winters. On the seventh day, it was cold that night, and it snowed heavily, and I was afraid that he would freeze, so I let him go into the room to sleep, and then, I already had a lot of good feelings for him at that time, and it was also my own spring heart, and the love was beginning to open, and he was very handsome, so I ......"

"You took the initiative to follow him?" Zhao Donglai asked, and Zhang Cuiping nodded shyly.

"And then?" I asked.

"The next day, he left, leaving me a lot of money in the quilt. After that, he did not come back for a long time, and it was not until Kiki was three years old that he came back again, said to see the child, and then, leaving some money, went away again. After that, every three years, he would come and see Kiki and ask her to call him Daddy until two months ago......"

"Two months ago, what happened?" I hurriedly asked.

It seems that I'm getting closer to the answer, not the answer to the treasure map - my interest in that batch of treasures is not very big, what I want to know more is Zhang Anqi's secret as a gasless demon......
