Two hundred miles west of Xi'an, on the top of Taibai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, Ayou is also telling stories to Qin Beiyang.

"Brother, please come with me."

Eighteen-year-old Ah You, holding Qin Beiyang's hand, climbed to the top of the moonlight and opened a hidden cave gate.

He saw countless bookshelves, each row more than a dozen stories high, and he saw that there were tens of thousands of books. Qin Beiyang seemed to have entered an ancient tomb full of gold and silver treasures, and he was a tomb robber.

"Heavenly Library?"

Three years ago, Qin Beiyang was confined in this library by the "ghost mask" teacher. It's still not a dream, he stays at home, reverses day and night, immerses himself in the vast sea of books, and reads frantically with the lamp, just like returning to the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu. There are at least thirty long days, as if with thousands of ancients, and there is even the illusion of bustling shoulder to shoulder.

Behind the bookshelves are bright and dazzling murals. There are not only flowers, birds, insects and fish, but also landscapes, birds and animals. Compared with the Tang Dynasty painting style of the Bailuyuan Tomb, there is more style of Ming and Qing literati painting in front of you.

Qin Beiyang stopped in front of a painting of the river and the sky and the water - a five-story watchtower, the white sails on the river, the warships on the riverside, the mountains in the distance are connected, the movement and stillness are suitable, the colors are thick and magnificent, and it seems to be a scene that has been witnessed with his own eyes.

"This ...... Isn't it the Yangtze River in Nanjing? ”

Qin Beiyang has crossed the Yangtze River twice, and the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is in line with the murals.

"Yes, this mural is called "Fangjiang Watchtower".

Ah You introduced each picture to him: "Cloud Belt Surrounding Mountain", "Jiangtian Pavilion Standing Map", "Peacock Peony Map", "Willow Shade Horse Map", "Crane Shou Map", "Deer and Crane Spring Picture", "Mandarin Duck Lotus Picture", "Ribbon Peach Picture", "Shuanglu Lingzhi Picture" ...... "Wait!" ”

Qin Beiyang stared at the mural "Shuanglu Lingzhi Picture", under the ancient pine rock, two sika deer, a big deer with beautiful antlers, and a small deer lying on the ground, it must be a male and a female, and there is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum growing in front of the double deer.

This stag resembles the nine-colored tomb beast of the town, staring at Qin Beiyang head-on, revealing round eyes, and its face is more like some kind of carnivorous beast - could it be the ancient divine deer in the nine-color body?

Going down, the style of the murals has changed again, and a large number of Bible stories in Western churches have appeared, which Qin Beiyang has seen in the Catholic churches in Shanghai and Paris.

"Sister Ayou, are you a descendant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

"Brother, you finally guessed right!"

"In 1814, after the birth of Brother Tian, the second son of Heavenly Father was born in Fuyuanshui Village, Huaxian County, Guangdong Province, China."

"Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan?"

Ah Youliu raised his eyebrows: "Don't say the name of the king of heaven without permission!" The king of heaven was born in a family of cultivators, but he failed the examination three times, and then fell seriously ill, died for seven days, ascended to the kingdom of heaven, and returned to the soul after meeting the heavenly father and heavenly brother, and spoke the words of heaven after resurrection......"

"I've read history, so I don't need to repeat it. With the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, Mr. Sun Wen has characterized the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a revolutionary movement, which is the right thing for history. ”

"Let me say! In the fourteenth year of Jiazi of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in 1864 of the Western calendar, Tianjing was besieged by the Hunan army and was in a hurry, the old king ascended to heaven due to illness, and the young king Hong Tianguifu ascended the throne. Soon, Tianjing fell, the Hunan army slaughtered the city, and more than 100,000 men, women, and children were killed. Fortunately, the loyal king protected the young king and fought his way out of the siege. King Chung gave up his mount to the Young Heavenly King and was taken prisoner. ”

Qin Beiyang knew that because of this great upheaval, China had lost tens of millions of people, and the rich land in the southeast had been reduced to rubble.

"There is a copy of "Li Xiucheng's Self-Statement" circulating in the market, I don't know the authenticity, some people say that he has betrayed, and some people say that he has surrendered ......"

"Surrender!" Ah You replied categorically, "The loyal king has an appointment, to confuse the Qing demon by deception, and to persuade Zeng Guofan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty with a divisive strategy. The young king entered Jiangxi through Huzhou and Guangdezhou, and was rounded up by the Qing army, with only one young attendant by his side, but he looked very similar to the young king. They hid in the mountains for a few days, starved to death, went down to a family surnamed Tang, and unfortunately bumped into Qing soldiers. The young squire was captured by the young king posing as the young king, and the real young king took the opportunity to escape. ”

"So, as mentioned in the history books, the Young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu was executed by Ling Chi in Nanchang, but he was actually a stand-in?"

"Well, this young man, who was tied to Ling Chi's pillar, took the place of the Young Heavenly King, and was tortured by a thousand knives, and he didn't tell this secret until he died!"

"This is your 'Ascension Sacrifice' - replacing the boy with a dummy, recreating the torture of Ling Chi in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province in 1864! In the history books, this tragic scene marked the complete destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"As long as the descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven on Taibai Mountain still exist, we will pay tribute to this young man from generation to generation."

"Because of the sacrifice of the stand-in, the Qing Dynasty slackened the search for the rest of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the real Young Heavenly King took the opportunity to flee to Taibai Mountain?"

"Before the defeat of the Kingdom of Heaven, King Lai Wenguang was ordered to march westward and invade Hanzhong in Shaanxi from Anhui and Henan."

"Hanzhong!" Qin Beiyang frequently bowed his head, "The base of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, achieved hegemony, and it is also the important town of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms." ”

Ah You pointed to an ancient map in the mural: "King Zun had a premonition of the crisis of the heavenly kingdom, and decided to develop a refuge in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and personally climbed the mountain to find this blessed land. ”

Qin Beiyang has been sensitive to all drawings since he was a child, and the map of China is even more precious: "This is a good place!" The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set the capital of Tianjing, and wanted to follow in the footsteps of Zhu Yuanzhang, but unfortunately the time, place and people were not on their side, and they were finally defeated, which is a pity! ”

"Throughout the ages, it has been a king who has been a king and a loser." Ah You touched the dagger on his waist and said, "The Qing demon said that we are long-haired thieves, the Confucian scholars said that we are Western cults, the foreign devils say that we are heretical Antichrists, the revolutionary party says that we are national heroes, and some people say that we are peasant revolutionary ......."

"History is written by the victors, and the losers are often portrayed as demons!"

"Brother, and the mural in front of you is depicted by the loser...... You see this peony flower, blooming so brightly, in fact, it is painted with human blood, we captured the Qing demon minister to go up the mountain, and sacrificed the brothers and sisters who sacrificed in heaven with blood. ”

"This is the beginning of your assassination!"

Ah You disagreed: "Sixty years ago, many remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went into exile overseas, became professional assassins, and joined the Assassin League. The Taibai Mountain Assassin Order, which became the branch of the Assassin League in China, specialized in assassinating important Manchu officials. ”

"The 'Heavenly Academy' is borrowed from Assasin's Heavenly Garden?"

"Yes, the children on Taibai Mountain have learned to assassinate since they were young, telling them that they are already dead and that they can return to heaven only if they regard death as home. Only 1 in 10 children succeed in graduating, and the rest are eliminated. Assassin Daddy is the first batch of Assassins cultivated by Taibai Mountain. After Gengzi years, we secretly cooperated with the League and committed many major assassination cases. ”

Qin Beiyang suddenly realized: "No wonder the revolutionary party is also so keen on assassination. ”

"The kingdom of heaven is a rebellion, a war, and a thousand miles of blood; The New Kingdom of Heaven is a silent assassination with blood splattered five steps. Back then, the Young Heavenly King climbed Mount Taibai and vowed to create another kingdom of heaven on the mountain. In time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be overthrown and the kingdom of heaven will be rebuilt on earth. ”

"The Qing Dynasty is dead!"

"The little emperor is still in the Forbidden City, the Yellow Dragon Flag at the head of Beijing has been lowered, and the Yellow Dragon Flag in people's hearts is still floating! Brother, my name is Hong Tianyou. ”
