Chapter 175: The Bai Family's Secret

"How do you know everything, but you're not proficient in anything?" Tian Ji was straightforward and asked innocently.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Tian Ji and told us that long before the Qing army entered the customs, there was a massacre in Liaodong, and Qing Taizu ordered the Han people, whether rich or poor, to be killed, which was diametrically opposed to his previous reliance on and trust in the Han people.

Moreover, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the Qing Taizu issued a strict decree.

Han people were not allowed to enter Liaodong.

"There are very few records of this in the literature and history, and the reason is not detailed, but it is mentioned in the wild history, and it is said that it is related to a great treasure outside the customs of the Qing Dynasty." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"And then?" Tian Ji asked.

"It's gone, it's all said to be wild history, and it's mostly rumored, and it's impossible to verify it now." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head.

"To say it is to say nothing." The field chicken is like a deflated ball. "I thought you knew."

"What you're talking about isn't even a rumor." The general took a puff of his cigarette and smiled at Shiro. "If you go to Liaodong and drag a three-year-old baby, you can also tell you Hetuala."

"What do you mean by Hetuala?" Gong Jue asked.

"Hetuala is the first capital of the Qing Dynasty, in the east of Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun, Liaoning Province, located on a Henggang on the south bank of the Suzi River. Bai Jin said unhurriedly. "It is also an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and many people believe that Hetuara is where the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty is located, and that treasure is hidden in Hetuala."

"Speaking of this, Liaodong people all know a story, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the competition for imperial power was quite fierce, and Huang Taiji still remembered this treasure after ascending the throne, after all, whoever was the first to find these riches and dominate the world was as easy as a finger, so he ordered to dig three feet into the ground in Hetuala." The general took Bai Jin's flask and took a sip. As a result, the sergeants just picked up their shovels and pickaxes and were about to dig, when the originally clear sky suddenly covered the sun with black clouds. The terrified Emperor Taiji immediately knelt down and bowed, and vowed not to look for the treasure again. ”

"Hetuara is really the land of the dragon of the Qing Dynasty?" I asked.

", there is really dragon energy in that place, Ling Xiao Pavilion can't see it, but it's just a rumor from later generations." Bai Jin shook his head.

"The Vientiane Shrine was built in the early Tang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty...... There was a gap of nearly a thousand years. Ling Zhihan frowned and looked at Bai Jin suspiciously. How did you know about Vientiane Jingu? ”

"Who knows what the Divine Palace is, I only found out about it a month ago, and this matter has to start with the treasure of the Great Qing Dragon Vein." Bai Jin took the last puff of cigarette. "Our Bai family is hereditary as the king of Liaodong, and it is said that it is related to the whereabouts of this treasure, and the only people who know the location of the treasure are the people of the Bai family."

"You're Manchurian?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"It's not."

"How can the treasures of the Great Qing Dynasty be known to people with foreign surnames?" Ye Zhiqiu looked stunned.

"It's strange here, the Qing royal family doesn't know the whereabouts of this treasure, why the Bai family knows I don't know, but since my grandfather, I haven't heard anyone say anything about this treasure, it has been passed down from generation to generation, just because the Bai family has the whereabouts of this treasure in the world, so the Qing Dynasty gave three points to the Bai family, and the generations are respectful, did you just see the dragon pattern on my back?" The Bai family pointed to his back.

"I know this dragon pattern, it is the pattern on the Dragon Banner of the Great Qing Dynasty, this dragon pattern is earlier than the later Yellow Dragon Banner of the Great Qing Dynasty, and it is the order flag of the Eight Banners." Ye Zhiqiu asked very seriously. "Why do you keep tattooing the dragon pattern of the Qing Dynasty on your body?"

"Who the hell tattooed the dragon picture of the Qing Dynasty, this is the symbol of our old Bai family, and the dragon pattern used in the Qing Dynasty is also borrowed from our Bai family." Bai Jin replied with a proud face. "The Bai family's original dragon pattern is not like this, it is the same as the one on his necklace, with two wings, the dragon was originally flying, and having two wings feels like a snake is enough, and then the wings are hidden, leaving the current appearance."

The more we listened, the more surprised we became, only Bai Jin still didn't think so, he never seemed to believe this.

"You are the dignified king of Liaodong, you have a prominent reputation outside the pass, and you can't enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty, how can you get involved with the Vientiane Divine Palace?" The general asked with a smile. "Could it be that you are also worried about the treasures in Vientiane?"

"I'm worried?" Bai Jin laughed heartily and patted his chest. "How old are we, I even have my own shroud ready, maybe lie down today, I can't tell if Ming'er can get up, why am I worried about those things, not to mention that Vientiane doesn't know what it is, don't mention any treasures to me, those things that don't bring life and death don't take away are useless, I really think about it, I might as well think about finding the treasure of the Qing Dynasty outside the customs, why bother and run to this place where the ghost doesn't come."

"You don't even know what Vientiane is, so what are you looking for?" I asked, confused.

"Didn't I tell you before, legend has it that the ancestor of my Bai family arrived outside the gate by a two-winged flying dragon, this matter is mysterious, anyway, I never believed it."

Bai Jin casually poured some wine on the bonfire, the fire rose to illuminate his vicissitudes of life, Bai Jin unhurriedly told us that the king of Liaodong passed to his generation, and there was only one title left, and he never took the king of Liaodong seriously.

After the Japanese son of Liaodong was peaceful for a period of time, at that time there was a yellow flag of the gentleman's son, the ancestor was a powerful minister in the Qing Dynasty, the official worship of the Ministry of Rites, and later the family road has been unknown.

One day this person came to Bai Jin, holding a picture scroll to sell, saying that it was something left by his ancestors, Bai Jin thought about the defeat of the family to sell the ancestral relics, it was really unfilial piety reprimanded a few words, the person said that the picture scroll may be related to the Bai family, Bai Jin was curious to open the picture scroll, and was suddenly surprised, it was a mural, there was a magnificent palace built in the sea of sand, and above the palace he saw a flying dragon with wings spread, which looked quite like the flying dragon ridden by the ancestors in the Bai family tree.

Bai Jin hurriedly asked about the origin of the mural, this person told him that after the Qing Dynasty pacified Dzungaria, he paid tribute from the Western Regions, and his ancestors saw that the mural was exquisite and copied a copy, but no one knew the source of the mural for a long time, and the Western Regions was vast and could not find anything with a picture scroll alone.

"I didn't care about it at the time, so I put it aside until a month ago, when someone came to the door and asked for me." Bai Jin looked at the campfire and said. "Straight to the point, he said that there is a palace in the Western Regions, and the dragon map in this palace is very similar to the symbol of the Bai family, he can take me to this place, but after finding it, he will share the account with me, and from this person's mouth, I heard about the place of Vientiane Divine Palace for the first time."

"Someone told you about the Vientiane Shrine?" The palace lord looked a little unresponsive. "Such an important place, since I know why I want to look for you, this person can't go by himself."

"Of course I understand this reason, it's not that this person has a bad appetite, but whether he can do it, presumably he said this place, he can't find it alone, I don't dare to say anything else, but only what I promised, that is, a mouthful of spit and a nail, never break my word, not to mention that it is not easy to look at the posture of this place, he is better at looking for me than looking for others, for the three words of the king of Liaodong, I will not see the wealth of the intention to seek misdeeds, and he knows the place, I will contribute."

"So you're also going for the treasures of the Vientiane Divine Palace?" Ling Zhihan asked.

"I can't eat when I'm hungry, I can't drink water when I'm thirsty, I'm not looking for guilt for those things, I'm all this age, ask myself if this life is worth it, if there are any regrets, it's only the legend of my Bai family's ancestors, and I also want to figure out what is going on in my lifetime." The Bai family smiled proudly. "What's more, I'm also a person who is half buried in the soil anyway, and I'm not afraid of tossing, in case there are three long and two short, I won't lose."

"Who is the person who told you about the Vientiane Shrine?" I asked intently.

Bai Jin turned around and pointed to a middle-aged man sitting alone outside the tent in the distance, his body was very thin, wrapped in a green robe, his hair was locked, he was wearing cotton shoes, and he was carrying a cloth bag.

"His name is Bu Dongyuan, and he is a Taoist priest, and he is the one who told me about the Vientiane Shrine."

"Taoist priest?!" The general frowned and looked at Bai Jin. "People who pretend to be ghosts, when are you so unreliable, and you come here thousands of miles away with a word from others?"

"Joke, I've been around for decades, such a big thing, you think I'll listen to others." Bai Jin grinned. "Before I came, I asked someone to check the bottom of Bu Dongyuan, this person is not famous, but his master is not small."

"His master? Who is it? Gong Jue asked.

"Wang Yuanji."

"Daoist Wang!" Ye Zhiqiu stood up in surprise when he heard this, and looked at Bu Dongyuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the distance.

"You know again?" Tian Ji squeezed out a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. "Say something useful."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't pay attention to Tian Ji at all, and said to us with a serious face, Wang Yuanqi was in the early Guangxu Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, entered the Suzhou patrol battalion as a soldier, left the army after serving Taoism, was ordained as a Taoist priest, and traveled to Xinjiang.

Although he was a Taoist priest, he became the protector of the Mogao Grottoes, a holy place in Buddhism, running around, exhorting money, saving money, and saving money to clean up the sand in the caves, and he was also the first to discover the Tibetan scripture caves in the Mogao Grottoes.

"Stein is in the deception of Wang Yuanqi, took away a large number of precious cultural relics from Dunhuang, this person has two points, if it were not for his protection, there will be more cultural relics destroyed, but unfortunately he also directly led to the loss of Dunhuang cultural relics." Ye Zhiqiu said pertinently.

"Bu Dong is far from stupid, and he also knows that he can't move me, he told me that after his master Wang Yuanqi discovered the cave of Tibetan scriptures, the contents have been sorted out, and most of the important scriptures and documents have been transferred and properly kept, and most of those that have been lost are rubbings of later generations." Bai Jin looked at us and continued. "When Bu Dongyuan's master was flipping through these things, he found that there should be an unknown palace somewhere in the Western Regions, but he couldn't find the exact location of the palace until he died.

"What's the record?" Ling Zhihan asked.

"That record should be written in two volumes of scriptures, but unfortunately one of the volumes is missing, and in the other volume it says that when Xuanzang returned to Chang'an, he stopped at night in a Buddhist courtyard in an ancient castle and wrote down the Divine Buddha Golden Palace Manifestation Desert."

"There is a Buddhist temple in the ancient castle......" Ye Zhiqiu walked back and forth a few steps and lowered his head to meditate, and suddenly raised his head and was very excited. Mazatag Fort! In the Western Regions, this is the only ancient fort where a Buddhist temple was built, and the location of the Mazataga Fort is just in the Red and White Mountain! ”

"Yes, Bu Dongyuan also deduced the Red and White Mountain in this way, and painted a two-winged flying dragon behind the scroll he found, Xuanzang has always thought that this is the holy place guarded by the eight heavenly dragons of the Buddhist family, and Bu Dongyuan combined with his master's discovery, guessed that the Vientiane Shrine is very likely to be near the Red and White Mountain, he has gone to look for it many times but found nothing, it should be that he knows that people are weak alone, and it is difficult to achieve things on their own, and they found me after thinking about it."

After listening to what Bai Jin said, I finally realized how he learned the whereabouts of the Vientiane Shrine, and Bu Dongyuan's words also corroborated the words of the Jim couple from another aspect, Stein discovered the Vientiane Shrine because of Xuanzang's record behind the Buddhist scriptures.

Unfortunately, the location of Vientiane is in another scripture that Stein failed to take with him, which is why he spent his entire life not finding the Vientiane Shrine.
