On the tenth day of October, Dongfang Xiaohan took Yang Yuxi and Songshan sent Sun Dazhong and Gao Kexin, and Taishan sent Tianyi and Tianbai to rendezvous, and then went to Guanwai together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Sun Moon Divine Sect's recent frequent actions outside the gate are true, and the reason Dongfang Xiaohan also knows, because this operation is part of his plan.

The purpose of the Sun Moon Divine Sect's operation in the Northeast this time is actually very simple, so simple that the Righteous Path Sect will definitely not believe it - to obtain a large amount of high-quality wood.

That's right, the Sun and Moon Cult's operation this time was to obtain timber, and the reason was to build a large number of merchant ships.

In the past five years, Dongfang Xiaohan has not actually interfered much in the business of Shennongtang, Natural Residence, and Wanquan Dart Bureau, but just arranged competent personnel and formulated a good development strategy and let his subordinates operate independently. Most of his experience was spent on reorganizing religious affairs, controlling Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and maritime trade. The Sun Moon Cult originally had a smuggling business at sea, and although the scale was not large, it was quite profitable. Now it's time for the "Longqing Switch", and maritime trade can be done in a bright way. Coupled with the fact that the Sun and Moon God Cult has been sweeping the sea for five years, the security of maritime trade has now been greatly improved. Therefore, the Cult of the Sun and Moon now needs a lot of wood to make ships and prepare for maritime trade.

The reason why timber is harvested in the northeast instead of the south is because timber is also a strategic resource now, and if it is harvested in large quantities, it is easy to attract the attention of the Ming court, and the northeast region is vast and sparsely populated, and there are a large number of unruly foreign tribes living in it, which is the area with the weakest control of the Ming court, which is not easy to detect, and those foreign races are the best laborers. In addition, the Northeast region has a large forest area, and the timber generally grows for a long time, and the trees are tall and of good timber quality, which is more suitable for making large merchant ships than the timber in the south.

Dongfang Xiaohan has always wanted to transform the Sun Moon Divine Cult from a Jianghu sect and religious organization to a multinational consortium organization similar to modern society.

The Jianghu sect can't be a big deal, and throughout Jin Yong's martial arts novels, only Mingjiao, as a martial arts sect, has ever changed the dynasty. Religious organizations can succeed, Mingjiao is only successful because it is both a martial arts sect and a religious organization, but once religious activities involve force, the imperial court is very sensitive, because in addition to Buddhism, other major religions in Chinese history have basically rebelled, and even Taoism has rebelled more than once at the beginning of its establishment, so the imperial court has always been very wary of religious organizations with force.

But the consortium is different. Shinong, businessmen, and merchants have always been the lowest class in China. Although some people have money, they have always been the ATM of the imperial court, and they are sheared at every turn. Moreover, businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, and only when the world is peaceful can business be bigger and better, so the motive of rebellion of businessmen is the smallest among all strata, and there has never been a major turmoil in Chinese history caused by businessmen. Therefore, the imperial court has always had the lowest precautions against merchants. But Dongfang Xiaohan, who has experienced modern society, will not underestimate the energy of businessmen so much, he knows that if the consortium becomes bigger, it can even dominate the world to a certain extent.

The current situation of the Sun Moon God Cult is a three-part religious organization and a seven-part Jianghu sect, and because of its ruthless actions and uneven distribution of internal interests, internal strife often occurs. Coupled with the fact that the righteous path organization has been sparing no effort to conquer, encircle and suppress, and the imperial court has been restricting and suppressing from time to time, since the remnants of the Ming Sect were rebuilt into the Sun and Moon God Sect, their strength has actually been declining. Dongfang Xiaohan believes that if he doesn't transform, the day of the destruction of the Sun and Moon God Sect is not far off.

This is really no joke. In "Blue Blood Sword" decades later, and in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" hundreds of years later, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has completely disappeared, but the Huashan faction, which was almost destroyed in the plot of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", has been passed down instead.

Therefore, after Dongfang Xiaohan took control of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he immediately began the transformation of the Sun Moon Divine Cult. In fact, the reason why Dongfang Xiaohan helped Yue Buqun to reorganize the organizational structure of Huashan was to experiment with the Huashan faction and test the feasibility of transforming the martial arts sect into a consortium. And with the experience of the Huashan Sect, although the transformation of the Sun Moon Divine Sect was a little sluggish, the effect was much better.

"How peaceful is it on this journey?" Yang Yuxi looked at the Songshan faction and the Taishan faction in the distance with some confusion.

Dongfang Xiaohan was also puzzled. Although he remembered that in the original work, that is, during this time period, Yue Buqun and his wife also had a trip outside the Guan, and finally returned to Huashan safely. But he never believed that he would do the same this time. But I didn't expect that there were no moths on the way, and the people of Songshan and Taishan were so polite that they walked all the way with them. When they arrived outside the Guan, because there were three areas where the Demon Sect had frequent activities, the people of the three factions parted ways in Shenyang.

What the hell is Zuo Lengzen doing? Does he want to send people to besiege him like the battle of the temple on a rainy night in the original book? It was impossible, that time Yue Buqun was defeated because Ning Zhong was captured and they had scruples. Now there is only one Yuxi by his side, and Yuxi is a first-class peak master, plus the Tomb Sect has always been known for its swordsmanship and light skills, even if Zuo Lengchan comes by himself, he may not be able to keep her, let alone capture her to make him have scruples.

Dongfang Xiaohan thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, so he could only take one step at a time.

Now that the eye-bothering person has left, Dongfang Xiaohan doesn't care about anything. If you come to the Northeast, then go to the lumber yard to have a look, and by the way, kill a few "Demon Sect Demons", ,——and the "killed" sect members will leave the Central Plains and go to remote areas controlled by the Sun and Moon God Cult, such as Taiwan and Ryukyu.

On October 23, Dongfang Xiaohan and his party went out of the customs. On October 27, the group parted ways in Shenyang. On October 30, Dongfang Xiaohan and his wife came to the Sun Moon God Cult logging site located at the eastern foot of Changbai Mountain.

The area of the logging site is 10 square miles. When Dongfang Xiaohan and his wife arrived, hundreds of sectarians and thousands of Jurchen laborers were working there, and tens of thousands of felled tree trunks were piled up on the logging site. These trunks include Korean pine, larch, long white pine, aspen, white birch, etc., each of which is more than three meters long and waist thick, making them a good material for making boats. The trunk was cut down and dragged back to the logging site, where the Jurchen laborers would cut off all the branches and leaves from the trunk and transport it by horse-drawn cart to the banks of the Tumen River, through which they would be transported.

At the mouth of the Tumen River, the Sun and Moon Cult had secretly established a small town called Dongfang City. The town actually started building a year ago, and it was only recently that the shipyard was built, so the large-scale harvesting of timber began. There are now six shipyards, five smelting and processing workshops, three medicinal herb shops, and three fur workshops in Oriental City. Timber, medicinal herbs, and animal skins brought from the Changbai Mountains and the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, as well as iron ore from Maoshan, were processed here and shipped by sea from Japan to the coast of China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyus by sea on merchant ships, or directly to Korea and Japan for trading.

The current city lord of Dongfang City is the original Qilin Hall master, named Yan Fei, and he is already in the middle of the first-class martial arts. His ancestor was the end of the Yuan Dynasty when the Mingjiao Houtu Banner held the banner to make Yan Yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang seized the throne and became the emperor to suppress the original Mingjiao forces, Yan Yuan was killed, and his descendants were moved to Shenyang, and since then they have become Han people outside the Guanwai. During the Yongle period, the Sun and Moon Divine Cult was established, and Yan Fei's ancestor Yan Wu joined again, and since then the Yan family has been a member of the Sun and Moon Divine Cult for generations. The Yan family was born in Houtuqi, and in addition to the family martial arts, the technology of civil engineering construction has been passed down from generation to generation, so Dongfang Xiaohan sent Yan Fei to preside over the construction of Dongfang City.

In Dongfang Xiaohan's mind, Dongfang City is an important stronghold in the future, and its influence will radiate to the entire Northeast Asia, so he is very concerned about the construction of Dongfang City.

Dongfang City didn't say anything, in the few days that he accompanied Yang Yuxi to visit Changbai Mountain, Dongfang Xiaohan had been thinking about another thing.

Dongfang Xiaohan has not forgotten that there are two treasures in Jin Yong's novels in the Northeast, the treasure of the Eight Banners buried in Luding Mountain, and the treasure of King Chuang buried in Yubi Peak.

For treasure hunting, anyone is very interested, and Dongfang Xiaohan is of course no exception, especially since he has found one-Jianwen Treasure.

In the original world of Dongfang Xiaohan, the fact that Emperor Jianwen hid the treasure before his escape was just a legend, and its authenticity could not be determined. But in Jin Yong's world, the treasure of Jianwen is real, and at the same time, the location Dongfang Xiaohan also knows - in the old mansion of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan in Nanjing City.

It is recorded in "Blue Blood Sword" that the treasure map of Jianwen's treasure later fell into the hands of the Five Poisons Sect, one of the three treasures of the Five Poisons Sect, and was later stolen by the sect leader's sister He Hongyao assisted the lover "Golden Snake Langjun" Xia Xueyi, and finally fell into the hands of Yuan Chengzhi, the protagonist of "Blue Blood Sword" - the master of the Huashan faction and the "Golden Snake King", and was used by him in the rebellion of King Li Chuang. But now, the treasure of Jianwen has returned to Dongfang Xiaohan.

In fact, the treasure map of Jianwen's treasure has always been in the Sun and Moon God Cult. In the Battle of Jingjing, when the army of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di broke through the city of Nanjing, there were remnants of Mingjiao masters around him to protect him,—— although Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly suppressed the forces of the rivers and lakes, but he also knew that the martial arts people were skilled and had to be guarded against, and a large number of masters were surrounded by him. Of course, these masters were later left to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Di worked hard to recruit the remnants of the Mingjiao masters, just to deal with the masters around Zhu Yunwen. As a price, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Ming Sect was re-established and renamed the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. The treasure map was accidentally found by the masters of the Sun Moon Divine Sect in the chaotic palace when Nanjing was captured, but the Sun Moon Divine Sect never knew that it was the treasure map of Jianwen's treasure. After the Sun Moon God Sect was wiped out, the treasure map fell into the hands of the Five Poisons Sect, and the secret was inadvertently discovered.

Dongfang Xiaohan, as a traverser, knows very well where Jianwen's treasure is, and he doesn't need a treasure map to find Jianwen's treasure. If it weren't for this batch of treasures, Shennongtang, Natural Residence, and Wanquan Dart Game would not have opened so smoothly.

has already obtained the treasure of Jianwen, so since there is a treasure in front of him, how can Dongfang Xiaohan give up?

However, from the perspective of time, the two treasures buried outside the customs do not exist yet. Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has not yet been born, and Nurhachi, the founder of the Eight Banners and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is not yet ten years old, so of course it is impossible to collect and bury the treasure.

However, after Dongfang Xiaohan studied it carefully, he had some different opinions.

It is certain that the treasure of the Eight Banners does not exist now, but the treasure of the king does not exist now, so it may not be.

Dongfang Xiaohan hadn't seen "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", so he didn't know the specific situation of King Chuang's treasure, but he just got some information from forums, encyclopedias and other places. It is said that after Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Li Zicheng saw that the defeat was imminent, and sent his henchman Flying Fox to hide the treasures found in the homes of the Ming court magnates after breaking through the city of Beijing in the Yubi Peak of Wulong Mountain outside the pass. The Wulong Mountain here refers to the Changbai Mountain.

Dongfang Xiaohan has doubts about this view.

If it is a treasure buried for the sake of a comeback, then the treasure should be buried in a place where it is easier for him to come back in the future, how can it be sent all the way to Liaodong? It was the old nest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the control range of Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses had never reached there, so how could he easily take it in the future? The only one who knows the location of the treasure is the flying fox, what if he defects? Li Zicheng can even kill Li Yan, does he really trust the flying fox so much? After all, wealth is moving.

Therefore, Dongfang Xiaohan is more inclined to think that the treasure hidden in Yubi Peak is not hidden by Li Zicheng, but left by his predecessors, and Li Zicheng only learned about the location of the treasure by chance.

As for who hid the treasure of Yubi Peak, it is difficult to say. After all, the Changbai Mountain region now looks desolate, and several countries such as Goguryeo, Bohai, Liao, and Jin have sprung up here before. After careful study, Dongfang Xiaohan believed that this treasure was most likely hidden by the nobles or remnants of the Bohai Kingdom.

The Bohai State was a predominantly Ya regime in the ancient history of East Asia, which was equivalent to the northeastern region of present-day China, the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, and part of the Russian Far East. In 698, Da Zuorong, the leader of the Limo Dynasty, proclaimed himself "King Zhen" in Dongmu Mountain (now Dunhua, Jilin) and established a regime. In 713, Tang Xuanzong canonized Da Zuorong as the "King of Bohai County" and awarded the governor of Kuhan Prefecture, starting with the name "Bohai". In 762, the Tang Dynasty decreed that Bohai was elevated to a state. Until 926, the Bohai State was destroyed by the Khitan State, that is, the Liao State, which lasted a total of 229 years and passed on 15 kings.

The Bohai capital was originally stationed in the old country (now Dunhua, Jilin), moved to Xiandefu in Zhongjing (now Helong, Jilin) in 742, moved to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing (now Ning'an, Heilongjiang) in 755, moved to Longyuan Mansion in Tokyo (now Hunchun, Jilin) in 785, and moved to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing in 794. Bohai is a multi-ethnic country, inhabited by ethnic groups such as the Tatar and Goguryeo peoples. The Bohai State established a political and economic system according to the Tang system, and in its heyday it had five capitals, fifteen prefectures, and sixty-two prefectures, and its culture was deeply influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and enjoyed the reputation of "the prosperous country of the eastern part of the sea".

Although the Bohai culture is developed, after the fall of the Bohai Sea, its national documents were wiped out in the war, and the original materials based on it are only the relevant records of the Tang Dynasty and Japan at that time and the archaeological excavations of later generations, so many issues related to the Bohai State are difficult to solve, especially its historical status and belonging have always been a focus of controversy between China, North Korea, South Korea and other countries.

After the fall of the Bohai Sea, the remnants of the Bohai Sea were unwilling to accept the rule of the Khitans, and fought fiercely, and there were many rebellious regimes. The Khitans brutally suppressed these rebellions. During this period, the Bohai homeland was seriously damaged, which directly led to the eventual disappearance of the Bohai civilization, and a large number of Bohai remnants also fled or were expelled and had to migrate, and finally integrated into other ethnic groups, and the main ethnic group of the Bohai people, the Tata, as a nation, finally disappeared in history.

Dongfang Xiaohan's point of view is that Bohai has the reputation of "the prosperous country in the east of the sea", not only has a splendid culture, but also has a developed economy, and of course there are people who can accumulate a lot of wealth. And the Bohai people fought for a long time against the Khitan, so of course it is possible that someone hid treasure in order to make a comeback when they were about to fail. From the geographical point of view, the area near Changbai Mountain is the central area of the Bohai Kingdom, and it is also the area with the most fierce resistance after the destruction of the Bohai Sea, and the Bohai people, as the head snake here, are very familiar with the terrain of Changbai Mountain.

Dongfang Xiaohan didn't want to find this treasure for the treasure, he had enough money now, the earning power of his industry was very strong, and the maritime trade was about to begin, even if this treasure might be enough for tens of millions of taels of silver, he didn't care very much.

What he cares about are Taoist classics and martial arts cheats that may exist in hidden treasures.

The Bohai Kingdom existed for roughly the same time as the Tang Dynasty, and was culturally greatly influenced by the Tang Dynasty. The martial arts style of the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, although the Jianghu sect has not yet been formally formed, but many martial arts cheats have appeared. Then the Bohai State, which was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty, naturally did not weaken its martial arts, not to mention that the Bohai Sea itself was established by force, and it has long confronted the Khitan, Murwei and other ethnic groups in the north of the West. So if the hidden treasure is indeed left by the Bohai Kingdom, it is not surprising that there are martial arts cheats in it.

In particular, Louguandao was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and its influence spread all over the world, and then Chen Tuan's ancestor in the early Northern Song Dynasty and Wang Chongyang, the ancestor of Quanzhen Dao in the Southern Song Dynasty, were all because of the inheritance of Louguandao to reach that height. The Bohai Kingdom has sent the children of the nobles to study in the Tang Dynasty many times, and has also sent people to copy the classics, and the history books also contain it.

As soon as he thought that maybe there might be a inheritance of Louguandao in the treasure, Dongfang Xiaohan was on fire.

However, no matter who left the treasure of Yubi Peak and what it was, the problem now is that Dongfang Xiaohan only knows that the treasure is in Changbai Mountain, but he doesn't know the specific location of the treasure - he hasn't read the original book of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox". Although there is the place name of "Yubi Peak", Dongfang Xiaohan found that there is no peak called "Yubi Peak" in Changbai Mountain at all, that is to say, this peak was renamed in the future.

I don't know the specific location, so it is very likely that the things that appeared on Huashan that there are classics that cannot be found or cannot be found are likely to happen here again.

In this regard, Dongfang Xiaohan could only helplessly find it in Changbai Mountain, and as for whether he could find it or not, he could only resign himself to fate.
