The king of Xiaojun lied that he was here to worship Emperor Guangxu, and the bannermen guarding the tomb welcomed them in. First is the five-hole stone bridge, there are two stone pillars across the bridge, and then there is the big archway and the stele tower. Then there is the magnificent Longen Palace, the wood is all hard copper and iron algae, like copper beams and iron pillars. All the way unimpeded, through the three glazed gates, into the treasure city, facing the stone five offerings and the Ming Tower. The underground palace is under the treasure roof behind the Ming Tower.

Except for the thief Yuan Shikai, this is the last imperial tomb in China. On the eve of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the father and son of the Qin family of the tombsmith clan built the core part of the mausoleum. Qin Beiyang's first confinement and reading of books in his life was also in this underground palace. He missed the tomb beast "Dayi", but prayed never to see "Dayi" again, because that meant that the mausoleum was violated and the hard work of his father Qin Customs was wasted. Qin Beiyang and Ah You met for the first time here, in the secret room next to the underground palace, and saved Ah You's life from the old eunuch. That year, he was nine and she was six.

Qin Beiyang hid in the Baoding tomb and cried. Nine colors ran over and hit the master with his head, this is a sensible tomb beast.

The little county king was muttering: "Where did Li Longsheng go?" ”

They found Li Longsheng on the Ming Tower, where there is a stone carved "Mausoleum of Emperor Dezongjing". Li Longsheng was actually bowing to Emperor Guangxu and offering incense. Qin Beiyang was shocked that he wiped his tears for Ah You, and who was Li Longsheng for? Isn't Taibai Mountain's education hated the Manchus?

"My real name is Li Gaolou, the youngest son of Mr. Li, the royal feng shui master of the Qing Dynasty, and the descendant of Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty." Li Longsheng turned around and sighed dumbly, "Since I went up to Taibai Mountain, I only know the dream of heaven and the overthrow of the Manchu tyranny. ”

Qin Beiyang came back to his senses at this time: "Speaking of which, our two families are still world friends. ”

"The Feng Shui master Li family, the craftsman Qin family, and the architect style Lei Li, Qin, and Lei, these three ancient families together supported the royal mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty for 268 years."

Li Longsheng looked at the Ming Tower with carved beams and paintings, which naturally came from the design of Style Lei; And the layout of the emperor's mausoleum is a skill passed down from his ancestors; The Qin tombsmith clan was responsible for digging the golden well, building the mausoleum, and making the tomb beast of the emperor's town. Originally, the three were colleagues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, Mr. Li did not dislike the craftsman background of the Qin Customs, and the two had a good personal relationship, often discussing feng shui and craftsmanship together, and playing chess in the ruins of the Great Water Law of the Old Summer Palace.

"Yes, my dad told me that."

"Although my father was a royal feng shui master, he was not a person who was idle and wild, but a person who cared about the country, the society and the people. He belonged to the imperial party and believed that Emperor Guangxu was a generation of Ming monarchs comparable to Peter the Great of Russia and Emperor Meiji of Japan. His father supported Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's Wuxu Reform. At the beginning, he calculated a hexagram and decided that Yuan Shikai could not be trusted, but Tan Sitong did not listen to persuasion, and the result was a big mistake. When the six gentlemen were beheaded, my father took me at the age of eight to the execution ground to see off the heroes, and my father forced me to see with my own eyes how the heroes of the Chinese were slaughtered by their own compatriots. ”

"It's a pity that the six gentlemen of Wuxu are gone!"

Qin Beiyang read it again in his heart, "I smiled at the sky from the horizontal knife, and went to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun."

"The six gentlemen went to the court, and Emperor Guangxu was confined. My father even planned Emperor Guangxu's plan to escape from Yingtai and take refuge in the Shanghai Concession to set up another imperial court. Two years later, Gengzi was in turmoil, and the Eight-Nation Coalition was about to break Beijing. That old harlot of the Yehnara clan, fearing that the Eight-Nation Alliance would use my father against her, ordered the extermination of the Nine Clans against my family. When I was less than 10 years old, I watched my parents, younger siblings, and a dozen people all secretly executed by the Qing court. Some with knives, some with stones, some with hot towels to cover their faces and suffocate, some ......"

On the Ming Tower of Emperor Guangxu, as if standing on the emperor's coffin board, Ouyang Anna and Xiaojun Wang listened to this conversation, and their vests broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Beiyang waved his hand: "The barbarism and brutality of the Qing court can be imagined, you don't have to say it in detail!" ”

"And I survived by luck because it fell into the hands of a eunuch."

"Eunuch?"

Qin Beiyang remembered that when he was nine years old, under this mausoleum, he met a terrible old eunuch, but he poured Ayou's brother into mercury and made a martyr. But how could the eunuch swear allegiance to Emperor Guangxu to the death, how could he oppose Mr. Li? It doesn't have to be the same person.

"Well, eunuchs are eunuchs, and they can't do things like men and women, but they are keen on playing tricks and prostitution." Li Longsheng took a few steps back, his lips trembling, "And when I was ten years old, I looked like a play, not a play, but a play, so I was ...... by that filthy eunuch."

"You don't have to say it......" Qin Beiyang stared at Li Longsheng's almost perfect face, "I understand!" ”

Li Longsheng's eyes were red: "You don't understand!" I fell into the hands of the eunuch for seven days and seven nights, and it was the most miserable day of my life. On the last night, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the city of Beijing, and the eunuch wanted to flee west with the Empress Dowager Cixi. I took advantage of the chaos to escape from his house and was about to commit suicide by jumping into a well, when someone grabbed me by the neck. ”

"Who saved you?"

"Meng Po."

Qin Beiyang suddenly realized: "No wonder, the person she misses the most is you." ”

"Well, in the year of Gengzi, Meng Po went to Beijing to find an opportunity to assassinate the Empress Dowager Cixi in the midst of the chaos. Unfortunately, she didn't succeed, but she rescued me unexpectedly. I think she also took a fancy to my background and my hatred for the Qing court, and decided to train me to be the first-class assassin in the world. But I didn't want to be an assassin at all, I wanted to die. But Meng Po didn't let me die, so I begged Meng Po for one thing, let her give me a ghost mask. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Do you know King Lanling?"

"Gao Changgong, King of Northern Qi Lanling?" Qin Beiyang naturally knew that even if it was just the history of the barnyard official, "It is said that the king of Lanling is extremely handsome, and he is easy to be despised by the enemy on the battlefield, so he puts on a ghost mask and goes into battle to kill the enemy, so as to make the enemy cold." In the Tang Dynasty, there was also the "Lanling King's Entrance Song", which was later transmitted to Japan and was a court music. When I was studying in Kyoto, I also watched the Japanese perform the Lanling King. ”

"Yes, the reason why I put on a mask at the age of ten was because I was bullied by that eunuch, so that I no longer dared to show my true face, and I always felt that as long as anyone saw my face, they would bully me and possess me."

"I see......"

Qin Beiyang sighed slightly, and sure enough, as Tolstoy said, the unfortunate have their own misfortunes.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! But there are very few people who know this secret, and I will tell you only because you and I are destined. Li Longsheng pressed his shoulder, "Meng Po gave me a ghost mask to wear on my face and covered my face with a black cloth so as not to attract attention. We followed the fleeing procession of the Empress Dowager Cixi and crossed the mountains all the way to Xi'an. ”

"My father and mother are also in the fleeing team, strictly speaking, I am also in my mother's belly."

"Beiyang, I know your father, I called him Uncle Qin when I was a child." Li Longsheng took a step closer, "You and I were born with fate!"

"Is it possible...... You watched my birth? ”

Qin Beiyang was extremely frightened when he thought about it, and his back vest was swishing and cold.
