Chapter 732: Crescent City

In Samaku's house, we didn't mention the Sacred Records, but just casually asked about the Yongling, and Samaku really regarded us as an archaeological research, and gave a detailed introduction to the changes of the Yongling Tomb.

I wanted to visit Yongling for some reason, but Samaku couldn't go because he had to prepare tomorrow's sacrifices, and when he came out, he heard Ye Jiuqing Lao Cheng say: "I'm afraid there are still secrets hidden in this Yongling." ”

"That's what I thought, too." I nodded.

"This matter is getting more and more strange, it stands to reason that Dolgon was already in power at that time, and he didn't want the throne of the rivers and mountains, just for this dragon vein treasure, secretly returned to Yongling, what is it for?" Tian Ji scratched his head and muttered to himself.

"Not only have people returned, but the Jiuding and jade coffins found in the Yangzhou Bronze Palace have all been brought here." The palace lord walked as he walked. "Listen to what Samaku means, before Dolgon came to Yongling, he also opened Fuling in Shengjing."

"If you guess correctly, there is also the body of Qing Taizu who was brought here." Bai Jin said.

I hadn't heard Turzhan's voice for a long time, I glanced back at him, and he walked at the back with a solemn and panicked face, presumably he only wanted to explore the treasure of the dragon vein, but he didn't want to contact the more he was shocked.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little surprised, I didn't expect that the mausoleum that the Fuling Jueercha clan had guarded for hundreds of years turned out to be empty." Turzhan should have seen me, shaking his hand and shaking his voice weakly.

"What's even more strange is that Dolgon and Duoduo disappeared in Yongling for no reason, and only reappeared three days later, but only the two of them returned, bringing Jiuding and the jade coffin but not knowing their whereabouts." Xue Xinrou frowned and pondered for a long time. "You say, will they hide these things in Yongling?"

"From the perspective of time, it is really possible." Gong Jue said.

Xue Xinrou's words also reminded me, and hurriedly took out the map to find the location of Yongling, which is surrounded by mountainous areas, and it is impossible to ride a horse and whip, in three days, a normal person will not walk more than one hundred and fifty kilometers, but at that time, Dolgon still carried Jiuding and a jade coffin, such a heavy thing will greatly affect the itinerary.

"If these things weren't hidden in Yongling." I draw a circle on the map that represents a radius of one hundred kilometers. "The three days that Dorgon disappeared should be within this range."

"I don't think things are in Yongling." Turzhan said to us with certainty. "Yongling as the Qing ancestral mausoleum, since the construction has not been disturbed, the Manchurian respect for the ancestors is the top priority, whether it is the Qing Taizu, Prince Rui and Prince Yu, will not alarm the ancestral tomb without authorization."

"In that case, the three days that Dolgon disappeared should have gone somewhere in this area of the map." Ye Jiuqing looked at the map and said. "In other words, what Qing Taizu secretly left behind in this range is only known to those who have obtained the Dragon Rune to inherit the treasure of the Dragon Vein."

"But it still doesn't make sense." Ye Zhiqiu frowned.

"What doesn't make sense?" Tian Ji asked.

"If Dolgon knew about this place in advance, why should he go back to Shengjing, if he came to Yongling directly, it would be over, although he tried his best to cover up this trip, but Shengjing was to accompany the capital after all, and his appearance was bound to leak the news." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"I'm also puzzled by this." Xue Xinrou nodded.

"Actually, it's not difficult to explain, Qing Taizu must have told Dolgon about the dragon vein treasure, but I believe that even Qing Taizu may not know the exact location of this treasure, judging from the fact that he built the Shengjing Palace in order to leave clues, Qing Taizu has been on guard against the Bai family ancestors." I thought about it and said to the others.

When Qing Taizu died, Dolgon was only nine years old, and such an important secret was handed over to a child, if something leaked out, the treasure would not be discovered, but it would definitely attract the attention of the ancestors of the Bai family.

Therefore, I think that Qing Taizu only told Dolgon about the existence of the dragon vein treasure at that time, but the specific details were not revealed, but hoped that Dolgon himself would discover the clues left behind.

Of course, Dolgon is much easier than us, he doesn't have to speculate on the whereabouts of every clue, he should go back to Shengjing like us, in order to find the gold box, and from what was left in the gold box, he speculated to Hetuala, and finally found that the place where Qing Taizu led him back was Yongling.

"Well, this speculation is reasonable, do you still remember, Samaku said that when you see someone who holds the dragon talisman, if you can merge the two into one, it will be like Taizu driving it himself, and he will bring it to Yongling Merit Tablet to think about it." Ye Jiuqing said with a serious face. "It seems that the last clue was left on the merit monument by Qing Taizu."

We immediately went to Yongling, all the way thinking about these intricate clues, now we have some eyebrows and clues, and our hearts are not as anxious as before, only to find that this significant imperial mausoleum complex is extraordinarily magnificent.

Qing Yongling sits in the north and faces the south of the Shendao throughout, in the center of the central axis of the yang is not biased, as the same mausoleum keeper Turzhan knows everything about this place, while leading the way in front of us to explain.

After passing the front yard, you can see four single-eaves mountain type four ancestral stele pavilions in the middle of the east and west, according to the order of the middle and long secondary, left, old and right, and young in order for Zhao, Xing, Jing, Xian four ancestral stele pavilions.

The pavilion seat is a square high platform, the stone masonry is built, and the stele tower each stands the stele of divine merit and holy virtue. The stele is engraved with the three-body eulogy of Manchu, Mongolia and Han to promote the martial arts of the four ancestors.

The front yard is close to the square city, the starting door is the main gate of the square city, the two open vermilion lacquer plate doors are each covered with eighty-one gilt copper door nails, take the meaning of ninety-nine to one, secretly fit the emperor ninety-five, horizontal nine vertical nine only the emperor is the largest.

The main hall in the square city is called the hall of enjoyment, also known as the hall of fortune, it is the place of worship of the four ancestors and the place of sacrifice, the palace of the beginning is the treasure city behind the palace, the plane of the treasure city is horseshoe-shaped, there is a berth bank in front, there is an octagonal arc circle wall in the back.

And the merit tablet mentioned by Samaku is in the middle of the crescent moon city at the front end of the treasure city, the so-called crescent moon city is a small courtyard between the treasure city and the square city, commonly known as the dumb courtyard, the wall built by the city becomes the crescent wall, the middle is the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, the emperor's coffin is sent into the mausoleum from here, and is blocked by the glass shadow wall after being closed, which can be said to be a very important position of the imperial mausoleum.

"Why is it called the Dumb House?" Tian Ji asked.

"The emperor is also a person, after being seen to die, many people guarded, not paying attention or the same theft, in order to prevent the news of the mausoleum from being leaked, so where the crescent moon city of the emperor's mausoleum is built, the craftsmen used must be mute, rest during the day, construct at night, and have to be blindfolded on the way in and out, and after completion, they have to be sent to live in sparsely populated remote areas, because this courtyard is dumb repaired, so it is called the dumb courtyard." Speaking of mausoleums, there is something more familiar than Ye Jiuqing.

"Oh, that's what it means." Tian Ji nodded very teachably.

"Nonsense, the Dumb Courtyard has a nice name, and I don't want to insult the reputation of the emperor." I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I saw Tian Ji's sudden realization. "No one can survive the craftsmen who repair here, and you don't want to think about it, dumbness just makes people shut up, what kind of person can really shut up?"

"Dead man!" Only then did Tian Ji react.

"Yes, when a person dies, he becomes dumb." Ye Jiuqing smiled and patted the head of the field chicken.

"That's what the merit monument says." Turzhan stopped and pointed to a stone tablet on the crescent wall.

We see a man dressed in human costume kneeling reverently in front of the stele and meticulously transcribing the inscription.

"What is this doing?" Xue Xinrou asked.

Turzhan explained that when the Qing Taizu built the imperial mausoleum, he deliberately left this inscription on the crescent wall, with a total of 900 words, which was written by the Qing Taizu himself, and the content was to remember the hardships and difficulties of the ancestors to create a foundation, and asked the royal family of later generations to be punished for their mistakes if they were worthy of their ancestors.

Later, it became a holy place for the Manchurians, and people often came here to remember their ancestors, imitate the holy oracle of the Taizu of that year, kneel in front of the inscription to copy, and use this way to atone for their mistakes.

"This was impossible before, except for the mausoleum guards, there are only royal clans here, and ordinary people can't enter at all." Turzhan said.

"So, it was here that Dorgon and Dodor copied the inscriptions." Ye Zhiqiu muttered thoughtfully.

"Qing Taizu must have left a clue in the inscription." Gong Jue said.

"Are you saying that in the past, only the royal clan could come to pay homage to Si, and then anyone could come here?" Xue Xinrou asked seriously.

Turzhan nodded affirmatively.

Xue Xinrou frowned and was silent, thinking for a long time with a puzzled expression: "If there is a secret hidden in the inscription, after so many years, and so many people have come to transcribe it, why hasn't anyone discovered what is hidden in it?" ”

"This is a good explanation, although Qing Taizu left clues in the inscription, but no one can peek into the mystery, only the person he chooses can know where the secret is." I'm also inspired by this. "So, if you want to know the clues, you need a specific approach."

"But when Dorgon and Dodor came here, like us, they discovered the mystery through the golden box, and if they could decipher it, we should be able to do it too." Tian Ji said as he stood next to the inscription.

I carefully looked at the content of the inscription, and as Turku said, the whole text is brilliant and proud, free and unrestrained, worthy of a generation of emperors, although it is only 900 words, but the hard language plate empty words are beady, the whole text is coherent and rigorous, I have read it many times, except for a commendable inscription, there is nothing unusual at all.

"They all say that your eyes are poisonous, can you see any clues?" I lowered my voice and asked Ye Jiuqing next to me.

"You look down on me too much." Ye Jiuqing smiled bitterly. "There are clues to the treasure of the dragon vein in this inscription, it is really so easy to see, the treasure may have been emptied."
