Chapter 20, The Treasures of the King of Bashu

Bazhong City, a region of Sichuan Province and one of the central cities of Qinba Mountain Area, is located in the northeast of the Sichuan Basin, at the southern foot of Micang Mountain in the Daba Mountain System, in the south of the dividing line between Qinling and Huaihe in China, adjacent to Dazhou in the east, Nanchong in the south, Guangyuan in the west, and Hanzhong in Shaanxi in the north.

In ancient times, it belonged to the domain of Yugong Liangzhou.

During the Qin and Western Han dynasties, it was Ba County.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the first year of Emperor Yongyuan (89 to 105 AD), Hanchang County was established. In the sixth year of Jian'an of the Eastern Han Dynasty (201 AD), it was changed to Brazil County, and then belonged to Danliang County, and then successively placed Naturalization County and Dagu County.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was first placed in Bazhou in the 3rd year of Yanchang (514 AD).

Bazhong is located in western China, at the southern foot of the Micang Mountain in the Daba Mountains at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. The basin is surrounded by a mountainous area, adjacent to Dazhou in the east, Nanchong in the south, Guangyuan in the west, and Hanzhong in Shaanxi in the north. The topography of the territory is high in the north and low in the south. Between the mountains and rivers, the fields are even strange, the scenery is full of scenic spots. The snow-capped mountains stand tall and majestic; Lingshan is towering and green, and the scenery is unique; The grottoes are victorious, and the name is Bashu; Taoyuan Wonderland, Nuoshui scenery, make people forget to return. Bazhong covers an area of 122,930.3 square kilometers, with the highest altitude of 2,513 meters and the lowest of 267 meters, of which the cultivated area is 2,588,000 mu.

Daba Mountain belongs to the branch of the Qinling Mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles, the mountain is majestic, and the sea of clouds is vast. Primeval forests, covering the sky and the sun, hanging rock cliffs, canyon waterfalls, deep and beautiful, mountain flowers and wild fruits, rare and exotic beasts, all include it.

The master told us that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world rose up, and after the dispute between Chu and Han, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu [3], and in 202 BC Liu Bang was called the emperor, the country was called Han, the history was called the Western Han Dynasty, and the capital was Chang'an. The Western Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system in many systems, and in the early Han Dynasty, the national policy of recuperating and recuperating was implemented, and the social economy recovered rapidly, and agriculture, handicrafts and commerce flourished unprecedentedly. [4]

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he implemented the system of Tui'en Order, Zhongchao, Thorn History, Salt and Iron Official Camp to strengthen the centralization of power, and to respect Confucianism and unify thought. Externally, it opened up a vast territory of Korea in the east, Vietnam in the south, Lingling in the west, and Yinshan in the north[6], laying the basic scope of the Han land. It also opened up the Silk Road connecting Eurasia, expanded foreign exchanges, and created a prosperous situation in the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Huo Guang assisted the government and followed the national policy of Emperor Wu in his later years to rest the army and support the people, and restored the national strength of the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he surrendered to the Xiongnu and set up the Western Regions Protectorate to formally incorporate the Western Regions into the territory. [12] In 36 BC, Chen Tang killed Zhi Zhishan Yu, marking the end of the Han-Hungarian War in the Western Han Dynasty] In December 8, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty perished. [1]

But in the Han Dynasty, there was a general named Bashu King, who made outstanding military exploits when fighting against the Xiongnu, and then I don't know what it was because of some mistakes, and was abolished by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and exiled to Bazhou.

This guy is not willing to stop and has built a group of powerful armies in Bazhou, all of them are brave and good at fighting, especially they will get the guidance of a wizard and learn some witchcraft.

But in any battle, as long as the army of the king of Bashu passed, no one could resist its edge, because ordinary swords did no harm to them.

Emperor Xuan of the Later Han Dynasty invited capable people and took three years to exterminate this group of people, but he let the king of Bashu escape, and built a luxurious mausoleum for himself, which was hidden in the Rattle Mountain, and it is said that the secret method of not hurting the sword was also brought in by him.

Later, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty secretly issued an edict to continue to secretly find the burial place of the King of Bashu, which had achieved some results, but at that time, Wang Mang usurped the throne and the palace was in civil strife, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty could not take care of these anymore.

After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, this group of strangers who were originally looking for the king of Bashu also disappeared, and since then they have been hiding incognito.

Liu Yuanwai's ancestors, Zhang Daoyi, and the ancestors of Master Yideng were once among the people who were ordered to find the tomb of King Bashu.

At that time, there were a total of six people, but after the Western Han Dynasty overthrew Zhang Dao, the ancestors and others wanted to retreat, but the other factions insisted on looking for them.

The troubled times are coming, it is an opportunity for them, as long as they find the secret method, they will be able to build a group of troops like the King of Bashu to gain a foothold in the troubled times.

In the end, after a fight, one of them died, two escaped, and Zhang Daoyi's ancestor and Yideng's ancestor threw themselves into Buddhism and Taoism, and after living in seclusion and giving birth to children, they continued to be exiled to Buddhism and Taoism.

And Liu Yuanwai's ancestors turned into businessmen who were passed down from generation to generation until Liu Yuanwai's generation.

I thought that this would be the end of the matter, but I didn't think that they were still found by the descendants of the original two factions, and they insisted on the ancestral teachings, hoping to find the tomb of the King of Bashu and continue their dreams.

At that time, the king of Bashu looted the people's fat and ointment, burned and looted a lot of treasures, and it is said that his palace was not much worse than the emperor's mausoleum.

Brutal as he was, he spent money on the tomb and created a Nine Dragons Gongzhu Tomb, hoping that one day he could be resurrected and try to dominate again.

Their descendants hoped that Zhang Daoyi, the master of Maoshan, and the master of Buddhism, Yideng, and Liu Aoyun, the golden abacus, would help them find the tomb of the king of Bashu, but they refused to disappear after being discussed by the three of them.

Unexpectedly, they directly kidnapped Liu Aoyun, the golden abacus, first, and then deceived Yideng and Zhang Daoyi, but a key is needed to open the mausoleum, and they don't know that this key has been kept by Zhang Daoyi's ancestors from generation to generation.

They kidnapped the golden abacus and deceived Yideng, the purpose was to leave Zhang Daoyi alone, and in the end they could only obediently help them open the tomb and take away the secret method.

This is a troubled time, some time ago it was rumored that Yuan Shikai did not succeed in ascending the throne, and the foreigners invaded again, China at this moment is already full of holes, and at this moment, if this group of people get the secret method to build the former power of the Bashu King, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Therefore, Zhang Daoyi must find the tomb of the Bashu King before they are persecuted, and destroy the secret method, and must not let this group of people get the aftermath and harm others.

In the end, it was decided, and the four of us, Zhang Daoyi, the little monk, and Nini, went to Bazhong to find the tomb of the king of Naba Shu and destroy it.

At this moment, time is pressing, and it is necessary to find the enemy before they enter the tomb, so that Liu Yuanwai can be rescued, and secondly, their ambitions can be contained.

The master probably instructed Nini to prepare some equipment and dry food needed on the road, after all, the road is far away and I don't prepare it, and it is estimated that I will starve to death on the road before I reach Bazhong.

The trip to Bazhong was full of endless imagination for me, and the little monk was the same, Nini went to pack up her things, and the little monk and I were lying on the eaves, looking at the stars in the sky, but thinking about things in our hearts.

But when I think of the place I am about to go, my heart is full of endless excitement, the mediocre is also a life, and the thrilling is also a life, why not choose the latter, let life start an adventure.
