Sons are only catty. Kublai Khan, the last khan of the Mongol tribe, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol honorific name "Xue Chan Khan".

Kublai Khan, the most prominent of Genghis Khan's many sons and grandchildren, was the Mongol cavalry under his command who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty.

When Kublai Khan was young, he liked to get acquainted with people from the Central Plains, and a large number of Han Chinese literati and lobbyists gathered in his palace, and they became Kublai Khan's staff.

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty persisted for decades under the attack of the Mongol army, and the two sides were in constant turmoil, and the tenacity of the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians made the Mongol iron cavalry, which had conquered most of Europe, quite a headache.

Later, the Mongolian nobles and ministers came up with a "strange trick": they planned to first make a detour to conquer the southwest Baiyue Zhufan, cut off the back road of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then send an army from Dali in the south to launch an attack on the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty, forming a north-south flank attack, so that they could not take care of each other, destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and finally unify the Central Plains.

In 1253 A.D., Kublai Khan was ordered by the Great Khan Meng Ge to lead an army of 100,000 with the general Wuliang Hetai, and divided his troops into three ways to conquer Baiyue.

Kublai Khan personally led the middle route army, crossed the Dadu River in October, arrived at the Jinsha River, faced with the surging river, Kublai Khan ordered his soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, plug their back doors, blow them until they swelled, and used them to cross the river.

After successfully crossing the river, the Mongol army reached Lijiang, present-day Yunnan, and finally defeated the Dali defenders, and King Duan Xingzhi surrendered. The Dali Dynasty, which had existed for more than 160 years in history, collapsed, and the Yunnan region was incorporated into the territory of the Great Mongolian State.

In Kunming Daguanlou, there is a deputy long couplet, there is a poem that reads, "Song wields a jade axe, and Yuan crosses the leather bag." Wei Lie's great achievements have worked hard to move mountains. The "Yuan Cross Leather Bag" mentioned in it refers to Kublai Khan's crossing of the river.

Speaking of this, Zi Yang pointed to the two small seals on the mural: "If I read it correctly, these two words are 'Baiyue', and 'Baiyue' is the general name of many tribes in the south of the Yangtze River by the Huaxia tribes in the Central Plains in the pre-Qin era, including today's Dali."

The Qinhan Village, where we are located, was also a land of Baiyue in ancient times. Presumably, the Qin people, who recorded these histories, still followed the names of their ancestors for the southwest and other places. ”

After listening to Ziyang's introduction, Lao Wang sighed continuously, "I can't see it, Lao Li, when have you read so many books?" Even this kind of thing is known to you. ”

Zi Yang secretly screamed ashamed, if it weren't for the study of these twelve star maps, he wouldn't have bothered to understand these strange histories.

"I still have a question, don't they all say that the Mongol cavalry is cruel and ferocious? Every time you conquer a place, you have to slaughter the city, so why did the Mongol soldiers come to Qinhan Village not only not to kill people, but also to get along with the local people? You see, these two people from different tribes are holding hands, and I'm not mistaken, right? Lao Wang pointed to the graphics on the mural and said.

"Nerd, look at history comprehensively, not selectively memorize. It is true that the Mongol cavalry liked to slaughter cities, but much changed during the time of Kublai Khan. This kid doesn't know if it was influenced by his grandfather, and began to reuse Han people, at that time there were a large number of Han people serving the Mongolian nobles - of course, these people are also called traitors, but these traitors are not useless, for example, Kublai Khan adopted a suggestion called Yao Shu, changed the past Mongolian army's bad habit of slaughtering cities, and issued an order to stop killing.

The most important thing is that the purpose of this cowardly Xue army that came to Qinhan Village was not to conquer, but to find the dragon vein. Presumably, Kublai Khan also inherited the legacy of Genghis Khan and became obsessed with the theory of feng shui and qi numbers. “

Lao Wang asked suspiciously: "So, this cowardly Xue army that came to Qinhan Village is the same as the ironclad zombie that appeared in Tibet, and it is also to occupy land and build a tomb?" ”

Zi Yang was noncommittal about this statement, pointed to the mural and said: "Look at this picture again, these cowardly Xue soldiers and the descendants of the Qin soldiers dug tunnels in the sinkhole, cut wood on the mountain, and then transported it to the belly of the mountain through the tunnel to build a palace. Such a project requires a lot of manpower, and judging from the content recorded on the mural, the cowardly Xue Jun and Qin Min worked together to complete this huge project. ”

Su Rui said: "These Qin people cooperated with the cowardly Xue army, and it is likely that the two sides reached some kind of agreement. ”

Ziyang nodded, "History is really evil, after Kublai Khan destroyed Dali in 1254, Khan Meng Ge died mysteriously in Sichuan in 1259, Kublai Khan ascended the throne in 1260, and Kublai Khan changed the name of the country to Dayuan in 1271, and Kublai Khan became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Ironically, the word 'yuan' in the Yuan Dynasty is taken from the 'Zhizai Kun Yuan' in the Book of Changes. I think Kublai Khan was so fond of Han culture that it is more reluctant to say that he was assimilated, and it is more appropriate to say that the Han people helped him conquer the country. ”

Su Rui looked up at the palace hidden in the darkness in the distance and muttered, "All this happened after this palace was built. ”

"I understand, this palace was built here with great effort to determine the dragon vein!" Lao Wang touched his chin and looked thoughtful, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he said this: "Since this place is so important, there must be a lot of treasures hidden in it, let's hurry up, shall we?" ”

Zi Yang swept the stone wall with the light, and said with a sad face: "There is still a long part of this mural left, and I think the following content is what we should worry about." You see, during the construction of the palace, the cowardly Xue army also fought against these winged monsters in the sinkhole - they even captured some of the monsters alive. ”

Zi Yang pointed to a mural of several cowardly Xue soldiers holding bows and arrows, aiming at an iron cage with wings, and a man dressed as Qin Min was stabbing it with an iron weapon.

"It's strange, are these cowardly Xue troops really so strong in combat? The flying dragon that even the Qin army couldn't defeat was cleaned up by them like this? Lao Wang squatted in front of the mural and pondered.

"Not necessarily, in the era of cold weapons, the evolution of weapons was relatively slow, although the difference was thousands of years, but the gap in force value was not widened too much, and the cowardly Xue army was fighting in the cave, and their longbows, arrows, and fast horses could not play a role.

The reason why they were able to defeat the monsters was because there were high-ranking people in the Cowardly Xue army - you look at these pictures. ”

Zi Yang took Su Rui and Lao Wang along the mural: "Here, here, and here, have you seen a strange person in the crowd?" His dress and demeanor were different from those of Qin Min and the cowardly Xue Jun around him. ”

Su Rui observed it carefully and said, "Bun your hair in a bun and wear a Taoist robe—is this ......?"

Zi Yang nodded, "That's right, this is a Taoist priest—it is likely to be the successor of Changchun Ziqiu." In the scene of fighting monsters and building palaces, this character appears many times, and if you look at his portrait again, his hands are either raised lightly or his back is behind his back, indicating that his status is very high, and his identity should be equivalent to that of the commander-in-chief and the chief designer. ”

Lao Wang scratched his head and said: "I'll go, I've also noticed this person, at first I thought he was an idler watching the excitement, everyone else was working and fighting, and he was standing there blindly." ”

"This Taoist priest is definitely not simple, you see that he not only subdued Qin Min, defeated monsters, and built a palace, but he also set up a mechanism here!"

Ziyang gestured on the mural with some excitement: "Look here, there was no water in the sinkhole, but after they built the palace, the Taoist priest commanded them to open two more rivers to divert water into the sinkhole, and sealed it with dozens of meters of water to form a natural barrier."

In order to maintain the water level, they even opened several waterways underground.

And these monsters, they didn't kill them after they were captured alive, but tamed and sealed under water. The underside of the sinkhole was already full of dark passages, and after the cowardly Xue Jun and Qin Min transformed this place, it became a huge underground underground tomb, and these monsters sealed underground also became tomb beasts - see this mark under the sinkhole? This was supposed to be a trap that allowed the Grave Beasts to enter and exit, but it was later blown up by Sharma and the others. ”

By this time, they had reached the end of the mural, and only a few images remained in front of them.

Lao Wang pointed to the pattern on it and said: "Since this underwater palace is so important, why don't you kill all the Qin people who built the palace to keep it a secret, aren't the emperors who built tombs in ancient times like this?" ”

On the picture is the picture of the cowardly Xue Jun and Qin Min parting, and on the picture, Qin Min stopped and watched in the direction of the cowardly Xue Jun's departure, as if he had a reluctant look.

Zi Yang sighed and said, "If your village has been attacked by monsters for thousands of years, in order to survive, you have to sacrifice virgins and boys every year, and you have to hand over half of the prey you harvest to the monsters. One day, a group of people suddenly came to the village, fought off the monsters for you, and banned the spell that had plagued the villagers for thousands of years—I think you would be grateful to them too—and maybe in return for your kindness, you swore to protect this place for them until they were old......

Lao Wang shook his head again and again and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it, I've got your point." ”

Zi Yang didn't mean to keep his mouth shut: "What's more, even if someone knows that there is a palace down here, so what?" Who can hold their breath to the bottom of more than 70 meters of water and then cross a few hundred meters of water? ”

"Me, we can!" Lao Wang pointed to his nose unashamedly. "Aren't we here? After a long day, can I go digging treasure? ”

Zi Yang was angry with him for a while: "You, don't you stupid have long ears?" Didn't you hear the word Tomb Beast when I said it? Have you forgotten how Professor Zhang's exploration team disappeared last year? ”

Lao Wang also opened his eyes and said, "Where are the tomb beasts?" Haven't you seen it yet? Let's talk about it, we've gone through so many tribulations, which time didn't we get out of the way! The soldiers will block the beasts and cover the earth! Our guns and knives are not ornaments. ”

Lao Wang patted the dog-legged scimitar on his waist, held Beretta M92 and gestured, "It's hard to say how it is in the water, but since you are on the shore, there is nothing that my old king is afraid of!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Wang ignored Ziyang and Su Rui and walked straight to the palace.

Su Rui looked at Ziyang, shrugged his shoulders, and followed quickly.

Zi Yang had no choice but to follow behind, he faintly felt in his heart that this wonderful palace was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Judging from various signs, the Taoist in the mural has a genius ability, not only familiar with Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Bagua, but also proficient in construction engineering, so he can build such a strange palace.

I Ching gossip, yin and yang five elements, these fantasy scholarship may not have much merit in the eyes of modern people, but they must not be underestimated. Perhaps their essence has been lost, and these stunts once played a huge role in the hands of the ancients.

The three of them marched cautiously in a row, the palace was more magnificent than they had imagined, and the closer they got to appreciate its magnificence, the more they could see its magnificence, and when they arrived, they had to raise their heads to see the cornices at the top of the palace.

Looking at the huge closed palace gate, Lao Wang swallowed and said, "It's here!" I'm knocking on the door! With that, he raised his hands and pounded on the door.

"Wait a minute!" Zi Yang suddenly stopped Lao Wang.

"How?" Lao Wang looked at Ziyang dissatisfied.

"What do you smell like?" Ziyang frowned and sniffed.

Almost at the same time, Su Rui and Lao Wang also smelled a smell of rot, and this foul smell permeated the air around them, getting stronger and stronger.
