Chapter 13 From Peking to Tanglin (1)
Passing through the river valley in the midst of thousands of mountains, the scenery is desolate and vast, and the ridge is like a high wall, and the walls are broken by rare ruins. After the general pass, it is the Yellow Cliff Pass and the Malan Pass, which have been the battleground for soldiers since the pre-Qin period. The agrarian peoples built high walls in the mountains and never really stopped the hooves of the nomads. The Great Wall is like an undulating dragon vein on a mountain ridge. The beacon fire enemy platform, all made by Qi Jiguang, although most of them are dilapidated and decadent, but the momentum of standing on the top of the mountain, how can it be exhausted for thousands of years?
Inside the carriage, Xiao Mu lay softly. He is like a little daughter-in-law who has been kidnapped by bandits, and is about to be sent to the mountain to be the wife of the village. In the wind blowing slowly from the east, he smelled something familiar—something he had smelled since he was born, and it seemed that he could not live without it. That's the smell of the mausoleum.
The smell is very new, unlike the ancient tombs of the Warring States, the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties that Xiao Mu dug before, the smell is mixed with soil layers of different ages, the tomb owner who has long been turned to ashes sighs, rotten wood and peeling murals, and slowly oxidized bronzes. The smell at this moment was like a fresh corpse, the muscles and joints were soft, and a little bit of temperature remained, waiting for him to open and touch......
Two months ago, the tomb robbery village in Luoyang, Henan.
Ah Hai led the army to rob Xiaomu. He was tied to the airfield in Xi'an, where he was stuffed into an airship by the soldiers. The huge airbag with the symbol of the one-eyed pyramid is like a flying coffin, passing through the dark night of the Guanzhong Plain. Xiao Mu saw the main peak of the Qinling Mountains covered with snow under the moonlit night, Baxiantai.
The Taibai Mountain, which the descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven had painstakingly managed for sixty years, was burned down. Countless grave beasts were rampant, and several gliders landed. An airship airbag exploded, triggering an avalanche in Taibai Mountain......
Xiao Mu saw that on the top of Basendai, there was a man with a towering figure and long flowing hair. He is Qin Beiyang.
Then, Ah You, Qin Beiyang, Li Longsheng and the four-winged angel fell into Baxiantai one after another.
Ah Hai took Xiao Mu and the surviving soldiers to break into the Heavenly Kingdom and underground palace and blew up the tomb of the Heavenly King, only to find that the coffin was empty, and the legendary Heavenly Treasure could not be found. Ah Hai opened the fake of the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang again, and found the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan in the heart of the giant coffin in the yellow intestine.
Ah Hai opened the lid of the coffin with his own hands, and Xiao Mu only glanced at it, and confirmed that the young man lying in it was the grandson of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian - Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County.
Ten years after the excavation was excavated, the body of the little prince still did not decompose and was lifelike. Xiaomu immediately knelt down.
The soldiers brought in the machinery and equipment provided by the Artisan Alliance, moved the huge Tang Dynasty coffin out of the heavenly and earthly palaces, loaded it with the pods of the Zeppelin-style airship, and threw down the corpses of countless tomb beasts and humans.
Ah Hai's next action plan is the Qing Dynasty Tangling. As long as Xiao Mu went with him and performed his ancestral tomb robbery skills, Ah Hai asked him to be responsible for guarding the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. This is Xiaomu's weakness, and it is also his irrepressible desire to think about it day and night.
Kogi agreed.
The airship left Shaanxi and flew northeast to a cold area. Xiaomu was blindfolded along the way, and I don't know where he got it? After getting off the airship, Xiaomu was put in the carriage. In addition to Ah Hai, there is also a young man with him - his name is Nakayama, and his appearance reminds Xiao Mu of a person.
A few days ago, just after arriving in the city of Beijing, which was on the verge of a great enemy, Ah Hai, Zhong Yat-sen, and Xiao Mu were thrown into the prison of the Beiyang warlords. After all, Ah Hai lost five gliders, and he did not bring the promised 500 tons of Tsarist gold.
The three were originally going to be shot, but they gave up because the Feng army withdrew from Beijing and Zhang Dashuai was killed in Huanggutun. When the National Revolutionary Army entered Beijing, Ah Hai took advantage of the chaos to escape from prison and took Zhongshan and Xiaomu with him. They spent several days in Beijing and found the old eunuch He Changzai in Zhongguan Village, who was now tied up in a second carriage.
This catastrophe can't be avoided, through the gap in the curtains, Xiao Mu saw Changrui Mountain in the south of Malan Guannan from a distance, and Tanglin arrived.
The southernmost part of the mausoleum area, between the two mountains of Tiantai and Yandun, there is a dangerous mountain pass, a torrent comes out, the walls on both sides of the bank stand, the water potential is cold, it is also called the dragon gate. The only way to be buried in the palace of the emperor and queen of the Qing Dynasty. Ah Hai exposed the scar on his face, he and Zhongshan each drove a carriage, and saw the majestic stone memorial arch in the distance - five rooms, six pillars and eleven floors, the widest archway in China.
After the stone archway, it is the big red gate. The three doorways are like the eyes of three tombs, and the feng shui walls of Donglin stretch on both sides, firmly wrapping the entire cemetery and Changrui Mountain. Heavily armed soldiers were stationed in front of the Great Red Gate, but they were ragged and no different from bandits.
On the east side of the big red gate, there is a quaint but dilapidated mausoleum, and the side can see the Ming Tower on the top of the treasure - the Zhaoxi Mausoleum of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang. Speaking of which, this Empress Xiaozhuang is also the same clan of the small county king of Ordos, and they are all descendants of Genghis Khan's golden family. She is Shunzhi's mother, Kangxi's grandmother, and Dolgon's sister-in-law. This is the highest-ranking queen's mausoleum in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the ancestor of the Qing dynasty with the highest rank in Dongling.
A notice was posted on the wall, writing to the 12th Army of the 6th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, to the effect that the headquarters was suppressing bandits, the roads in and out of the mausoleum were closed, and the people were not allowed to trespass.
When the soldiers guarding the Big Red Gate saw Ah Hai, they pulled the bolt of their guns and prepared to shoot. Ah Hai shouted loudly: "Please inform Your Excellency the military commander, just say that Mr. Hai is visiting from Beiping." ”
After waiting for a while, an officer walked out of the big red gate and invited the group of uninvited guests. There are many felled stakes on both sides of the Shinto. There used to be 8 million large trees in the mausoleum area, and the pines shaded the mountains. Even if it is hot, it is like a cold autumn, and it is called "sea tree". There are also three fire escapes to sweep away trees and weeds to prevent wildfires from spreading. In the heyday of the former Qing Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners in the cemetery, more than 3,000 people in the green camp of Malanguan behind the mountain, plus the personnel stationed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, totaling more than 8,000 people. In addition to the Forbidden City, the royal mausoleum is the number one forbidden area, and anyone who cuts down trees and hunts without permission must be beheaded or confiscated. Now I can see that there is a group of children's mountains, and the mausoleum has fallen into the state of indiscriminate deforestation. In the more than ten years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, although the Manchu royal family still has ministers guarding the tomb, it is a dim-witted and incompetent prince and nobleman who has already fled without a trace.
Passing through the monument of Emperor Shunzhi's divine merit and holy virtue, the Huabiao on both sides reflects each other from afar. Both sides of the Shinto are lined with stone statues, from sinister and camels to elephants, unicorns, reclining horses, and Qing Dynasty costumes of civil and military generals. To the dragon and phoenix gate of six pillars, three doors and four walls, inlaid with glazed walls, staring at the flame pillar on the door, crossing this door, that is, yin and yang are separated.
The carriage could no longer pass through the gate, and the little wood was dragged down. Ah Hai ordered him to be untied, there were soldiers guarding everywhere, and there was no chance of escape at all. Xiao Mu obediently stayed by Ah Hai's side, peeking at the scenery with the corner of his eye - the mountains due north are like nine dragons entering the sea. Although it is the height of summer in July, there is an atmosphere of slaughter in the cemetery.
