Chapter 32: The Great Qin Jingjiao

The tomb of the "King of Tatars" in Fangshan, the underground palace under the underground palace, and the bank of the deep pool of "Sea Eye".

Qin Beiyang came back, he was under the golden well of the underground palace, and saved everyone's lives.

When defeating the Four-Winged Angel Town Tomb Beast, why not use the way of sound and rhythm of the "Underground Palace Road"? Because he believes that the nine-colored tomb beasts in the town can treat them in the way of others. Music can only suspend the attack of the tomb beast, but it can't really subdue it, and in the end, it has to be real swords and gunsβ€”such as this Tang knife that accompanied An Lushan's burial, and Hua Tuo's "Five Fowl Opera" kung fu.

At this moment, Bo Xihe was more concerned about the nine colors, and looked at the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast: "Four are not alike? ”

"Like a dragon is not a dragon, like a phoenix is not a phoenix, like a unicorn is not a qi, like a turtle is not a turtle." Wang Jiaweijiao has a lot of research on ancient mythical beasts, "The head of the four different phases belongs to the dragon, with one or a pair of antlers, the difference between a one-horned unicorn and a two-horned unicorn." There is also a saying that the single horn is a hedgehog, and the double horn is a unicorn. Its neck is in the shape of a sinister one, so it has a red mane, and the dragon is the fifth son of nine sons. You see, its scales and armor have fish and mirage phases, but there are no deadly reverse scales on its abdomen, but its limbs are like strong beasts, and the standard four-phase unicorn. ”

"However, I don't think this unicorn is yet an adult."

Qin Beiyang interrupted the conversation between the two. Jiuse didn't want to be judged as a monster or an antique, so he immediately chose to transform, put away the antlers on his head, and white hair grew on the surface of the bronze scales, turning into a strange big dog.

This process made the great sinologist Bo Xihe extremely interested, but Qin Beiyang was faintly worried.

"Let's take another look at the four-winged angel!" Professor Wang Jiawei reminded, "Mr. Bo Xihe, you guessed correctly, this tomb really has a tomb beast. ”

"But I didn't expect it to really kill!" Bo Xihe glanced at Qin Beiyang, "Could it be that in the whole world, only this young man and his young Qilin Town Tomb Beast can subdue other Town Tomb Beasts?" ”

"No, modern weapons can control the Tomb Beast."

The little county king interjected, this is his experience in controlling the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast of An Lushan.

"Four years ago, a Spanish priest found the inscription of the four-winged angel in the cemetery of the Nestorian Christians of the Yuan Dynasty in Quanzhou, Fujian." Birch-he, who speaks fluent Chinese, "The four-winged angel, who first guarded the royal palace in the ancient kingdom of Assyria, and has been found in many archaeological sites in Mesopotamia, is a product of ancient witchcraft, and angels are the same as demons, and are considered very evil by Christianity - the same kind of Satan." ”

"Nestorianism?" Professor Wang frowned, "On our way here just now, we passed by the ruins of a Tang Dynasty temple, which has the shape of a cross, is it the cross temple of Jingjiao?" ”

Bo Xihe cleaned up the broken white marble sarcophagus and found a pile of tall skeletons. He casually picked up the femur of a thigh, put it on his lap and gestured, and sure enough, a large section grew, and it was estimated that the height of the tomb owner was about two meters.

Professor Wang Jiawei leaned over and said: "The history books do not record the height of King Wanyan Liang of Jin Hailing. ”

"It can't be Wanyanliang!" Bo Xihe carefully examined the skull of the tomb owner, and judging from the shape of the skull, "This is a Caucasian race of the long-headed type, and it is definitely not a Han or Jurchen." ”

"Hu people from the Western Regions?" Wang Jiawei looked at Bo Xihe's face, "How can there be such an imposing tomb?" ”

Suddenly, the little king remembered the tomb of An Lushan: "Could it be that he is also a figure in the Anshi Rebellion?" ”

Another group of young archaeological team members climbed down the rope from the back room of the underground palace. Qi Yuanshan and Ah You also came down together.

Qin Beiyang saw Ah You and hugged the little girl's shoulder: "Sister, what are you doing down?" This isn't the place for you. ”

"Where is my brother? Where is my sister going, too! ”

Ah You stared at him with resentful eyes, and Anna interjected and said, "It's okay, sister, I'll accompany your brother!" ”

While the boys and girls were talking, Professor Wang found the epitaph. Rubble and dust are brushed away to reveal a splendid painted relief. First I saw a mouse painted with gold, then a cow, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake......

It turned out to be the 12 zodiac signs, and there were relief painted peony flowers between them, and Qin Beiyang remembered the 12 bronze beast heads stolen from the Old Summer Palace.

Bo Xihe, who is proficient in Chinese, can distinguish the words on the stone tablet, and the beginning is the inscription of the seal book "The deputy envoy of Lulong Jiedu in Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty ordered Dr. Jin Ziguanglu to give the epitaph of Taishi Yisi".

"Tang Dynasty?" Professor Wang was ashamed of his previous judgment error, "It turns out that the owner of the tomb is not King Jinhailing!" ”

The Frenchman Birch and deciphered the content of the epitaph -

"Is, born in Middle-earth, his father was from Tocharian in the Western Regions, and was originally a Nestorian white-clothed priest. In the Anshi Rebellion, the crown prince Li Heng ascended the throne as Tang Suzong in Lingwu. Isis served as Tang Suzong's translator and staff, and made meritorious contributions under Guo Ziyi. After the rebellion was quelled, the Tang Dynasty canonized Isi as the deputy envoy of Lulong Jiedu in Youzhou, supervising the rest of An Lushan, died in Youzhou, and was buried in Fangshan. ”

"Sure enough! No wonder there is a Nestorian Cross Temple nearby. ”

Bo Xihe looked at the broken skull in the sarcophagus and said: "Xi'an's "Great Qin Jingjiao Popular Chinese Tablet" was written by this Yisi's son Jingjing, 'Daqin' is the Byzantine Empire, which records the Jingjiao leader A Luo Benhua missionary and was supported by the Tang Emperor, as well as the achievements of Yisi in pacifying the Anshi Rebellion and spreading Jingjiao. ”

Professor Wang also found a statue of a four-winged angel on the sarcophagus - a male angel sitting on a ruyi cirrus cloud, wearing a three-pointed crown, two ear hanging shoulders, a plump face, draped in cloud shoulders, decorated with Yingluo, holding a lotus cross, and two pairs of outstretched wings behind his back. There are light and flying streamers around the waist, just like Dunhuang flying into the sky.

This Nestorianan tomb, inheriting the Tang Tomb built according to the mountain, selected in the dragon vein surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are underground double-layer tombs, iron cables suspended sarcophagus, under which is the "sea eye" leading to the Bohai Sea, whether there is the soul to sail out to sea, return to the meaning of the Western hometown? ”

As soon as Wang Jiawei's voice fell, Qin Beiyang picked up the conversation: "A young man in Chang'an, he has a heart!" Kunlun Nu, Silla maid, since settled in China, is a member of the Chinese. The Tang Dynasty was tolerant of all rivers, graceful and generous, and glorious and prosperous. But since the Qing Dynasty, he has been self-contained, closed off the country, and thought he was perfect, like a gathering of birds and beasts, a crab is not as good as a crab! ”

"Who are you?"

Bo Xihe is well versed in sinology and knows that the ancient meaning of "juji" is incest, and combined with the allusion of "one crab is not as good as one crab", it means the degradation of inbred varieties.

Facing the great sinologist, Qin Beiyang spread out the calluses on the palm of his hand: "I'm just a craftsman." ”

Wang Jiawei smiled and said nothing, the first time he met this eighteen-year-old craftsman in the tomb of Wei Zhongxian in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, he felt that this son was not an ordinary person, and there must be a story buried in his body.

The archaeological team dragged out the four-winged angel town tomb beast and loaded it onto a large truck, and Bo Xihe, Wang Jiawei and Xiaojun Wang returned to the city with the car. Only the vaults of the Bank of Communications can properly keep the cultural relics of the national treasure level, just like the rich people keep their jewelry and art in the bank safe.

The twilight was vast, the earth was dyed golden, and Qi Yuanshan drove a military convertible. Nine colors sat in the passenger seat, like a military dog on guard. Qin Beiyang and the two girls crowded in the back row, like a spring breeze, and subconsciously hummed a little song.

Ouyang Anna heard it: "Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"? ”

He didn't dare to say the secret of playing "Ode to Joy" with a Chinese flute in the "Colosseum", and no one believed him, so he smirked and said, "Hehe! I just want to see you want to sing! ”

Anna snorted: "Boy! I haven't seen you for half a year, and my mouth has become sweet! ”

Qin Beiyang was a little embarrassed, and didn't want to snub his brother, so he said to Qi Yuanshan: "Has there been a major incident in the War Department recently?" ”

"How do you know?" Qi Yuanshan chose to go to Guang'anmen in the southern city, "Two months ago, someone hid in an ancient coffin in the middle of the night and infiltrated the War Department building in an attempt to assassinate General Xiao Xu. ”

"Xiao Xu?"

"Well, Lao Xu is the Beiyang veteran Xu Shichang, and Xiao Xu is Xu Shuzheng, the No. 2 person in the Anhui system."

"This is father and son?"

"It doesn't matter at all! Lao Xu is from Tianjin, and Xiao Xu is from Anhui. ”

Qin Beiyang firmly remembered this name, and asked knowingly: "By the way, why does the War Department have an ancient coffin?" ”

"The devil knows?" Qi Yuanshan has entered the southern city of Beijing, compared to the prosperity of the northern city, it is quite desolate and depressed, "the War Department is heavily guarded, and it has been replaced by Anhui guards." I was treated as a direct person, and I fought with them at Wusongkou, and I couldn't even enter the gate of the War Department. ”

"The coffin is now at the War Department?"

"In today's Beijing City, I am afraid that only the War Department is the only safe! You don't know? On the same night that General Xiao Xu was assassinated, Congressman Qu Jinghe was killed by a throat cut at his home in Mao'er Hutong, and eight servant bodyguards were killed. Qu Jinghe was born in a family, a well-known Peking Opera ticket holder in the political circles, a close friend of Boss Mei, and usually loves to sing Hua Dan, "The Drunken Concubine" can be described as a must. ”

"I know!"

"Recently, three members of Congress have been assassinated, all of whom have been killed by the assassins by slitting their throats with daggers, all of whom belong to the newly established Anfu Club. There was a lot of noise in the newspapers, and people were panicking. The Prime Minister ordered the Inspector General of Police to solve the case within a time limit. ”

"Inspector Ye Kenan is busy again!"

The open-top car passed through the Xuanwu Gate, entered the inner city, turned around, and arrived at the alley deep in Baihua.

Getting off the bus at the gate of the courtyard, Anna looked at the moon in the sky and said goodbye to Qin Beiyang: "Look at tonight, the clouds are scattered and the sky is blue, and I am full of joy when I reunite with you." ”

Qin Beiyang and the nine-colored city returned to the Old Summer Palace, holding the red mane of the "big dog", lying down in the weeds, looking up at the starry sky, and chanting the words: "The wind and rain are miserable, the rooster crows, and I see the gentleman." Don't like it? ”
