Chapter 740: The Golden Book

I took out the Hongmengzhu from my bag, and the others were not surprised, perhaps they all thought that I had regained this artifact from Gu Yuanshan, so I stood in front of Jiuding and put the Hongmengzhu in the palm of my hand.

In an instant, when the Hongmeng bead touched my palm, the smooth surface instantly shone with brilliant light and surrounded all of us, and a feathered dragon composed of halos soared and cruised around us.

When those halos shone on the nine tripods, the lines on the top that were engraved with the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu suddenly shone incoherently, and the nine bronze tripods were like this, presumably the ancestors of the Zhu family hid in these lines after dividing the divine domain map, and only Hongmeng Zhu could read the content on it.

Those seemingly intermittent lines were irradiated and all appeared in the halo emitted by the Hongmeng Bead, and then began to combine methodically, until a new map appeared in front of our eyes, which was the guide to return to the Divine Domain, and the halo gradually dimmed and finally disappeared on the Hongmeng Bead.

I looked at the artifact in my hand, and suddenly there was an inexplicable throbbing, how long has it been? I can't remember how long I waited for this moment, and I'm glad I lost my memory, otherwise it would have been a long time, and even remembering it would have taken too much time.

Now that I was still the last step, I put away the Hongmengzhu and looked into the depths of the passage, the clue to the last berthing location of the ship might be in this holy palace.

After passing through the platform, a stone palace appeared in front of us, which was supposed to be the end of the trip, and the moment we walked through the palace gate, almost all of us were stunned in place, and our faces were full of shock.

It is difficult for me to describe the scene in front of me in words, and the shock is beyond words, and the first thing I feel when I stand here is that I am small.

In front of the stone statues carved out of the mountain, we looked up, and the inexplicable shock and surprise made us all silent.

This circular stone chamber is built in the middle of the mountain, the mountain has been excavated, under the light of the light, we have to look up to see those huge statues like gods, each of these statues is about 20 meters high, carved with the help of the mountain, to see the clothes are all dressed in the armor of the Eight Banners.

Each sculpture is both god-like and lifelike, staring at us with angry eyes and hands pressed on the hilt of the huge sword, the tip of the sword standing on the ground and watching us majestically and silently.

I looked around and counted them, and there were exactly thirteen huge statues carved into the mountain, arranged in a circle, looking down at the stone chamber.

As we saw before, everything in this stone chamber was decorated with silver, and even the thirteen tall and mighty stone statues were painted with a layer of silver on the surface of their bodies, which reflected a dazzling light in the firelight, which looked even more shocking.

In the innermost part of the palace, there is a huge and majestic jade coffin, emitting a blue light in the firelight, the material of this jade coffin is too familiar to us, and the same as what we saw in Ye Jiuqing's dark room and Vientiane Divine Palace, this is clearly a vehicle used by the people on the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace to delay the decline of life.

The jade coffin in front of me is not our common coffin style, and there is no coffin lid, I walked forward and saw an old man lying inside with a peaceful face and slightly closed eyes, and there was a slight blood red under the skin, which had not been opened for at least hundreds of years, but the people in the jade coffin seemed to have just fallen asleep, lifelike and amazing.

I noticed the costume of the old man in the jade coffin, the bright yellow gown on the shoulders and the chest, each embroidered with a dragon, the front and back of the shirt are lined with twelve chapters, between the five-colored clouds under the Pingshui Jiangya, the lower clothes are embroidered with six dragons with five-colored clouds, and the lower is Pingshui Jiangya.

The rest of the lower garment and the collar are all made of sable, the horseshoe sleeves are made of sable, the chest is worn with a string of pearls, the head is worn with a pointed crown style is extremely gorgeous, the whole body is made of hollow silk technique in metalworking, the top is a large pearl, the bottom is divided into three layers, and an east pearl is separated between the layers.

Each layer bears four golden dragons, the head of the hemispherical base layer is facing down, the upper two layers of the golden dragon are facing upward, and each dragon is decorated with an east pearl.

Thump!

We looked back and saw Turzhan kneeling in front of the jade coffin with a respectful and humble expression.

"He, what's wrong with him?" Tian Ji looked dazed.

I was stunned for a moment, looked at Turzhan kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt secretly startled in my heart, turned my head to look at the person in the jade coffin again, and the corners of my mouth squirmed a few times: "This is the costume of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he, he is the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

As soon as my voice fell, the others were stunned, and Ye Zhiqiu reacted for a long time: "No, Qing Taizu was not buried in Fuling, how could he appear here?" ”

"Didn't Samaku say that when Dolgon came here, he arrived first in Shengjing, where he opened the Fuling Tomb and invited Taizu to the Holy Body." I said with a frown in contemplation. "It can be seen that Dolgon brought the remains of Qing Taizu from Fuling here at that time."

"The ancients all paid attention to entering the soil for peace, and even if Dolgon was in power at that time, he didn't dare to touch the Fuling of the Qing Taizu."

"Of course Dolgon wouldn't dare to do this, but this may not be his idea, he can open such a big thing as the Imperial Tomb, unless it is the intention of Qing Taizu himself." I say.

"Everyone is dead, and the good end is buried in the imperial tomb, why do you want to toss it and let people dig it out again?" Tian Ji looked puzzled.

"It's not clear, I guess it should have something to do with the Holy Palace built here by Qing Taizu." I shook my head and said.

"There is a golden book in the jade coffin." Ye Jiuqing pointed to the inside and said to us. "The Qing Dynasty mausoleums are not the same as the traditional tombs of the Central Plains, and they rarely use inscriptions to record their lives, they are all recorded in the gold book and buried with the coffin."

I took out the golden book from it, carefully unfolded it, and found that it was full of contents written in Manchu, none of us could understand these words, I let Turzhan be worshipped, since they have all found here, it is better to find out what secrets Qing Taizu left behind.

With a pious face, Turzhan took the golden book with both hands and translated it for us while reading it, which dates back to before the Qing Taizu unified the Jurchen tribe.

Judging from the content of Turzhan's translation, Qing Taizu himself admitted that it was not his own effort to make contributions and create the road to the emperor, everything was a coincidence.

Qing Taizu was born in the family of a small chieftain of Zuowei in Hetualajian Prefecture, his mother died when he was ten years old, and his stepmother Nala was a daughter of the Wangtai clan, and was very mean to him, Qing Taizu had to live separately at the age of nineteen, and only obtained a small amount of family property.

In order to make a living, he made a living by digging ginseng, picking pine nuts, picking hazelnuts, etc., and was adopted by Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, and became his attendant.

"There are still legends about Li Chengliang and Qing Taizu." Bai Jin interjected next to him.

"What legend?"

Bai Jin told us that it was rumored that Li Chengliang saw that Qing Taizu, who was still a child, was clever and well-behaved, so he was kept under the tent as a scholar and served himself.

One night, Qing Taizu served Li Chengliang to wash his feet, and unexpectedly found that there was a red mole on the center of the foot of the general of the dynasty, and he inadvertently told Li Chengliang that he had seven red moles on the center of his foot.

The speaker had no intention, hearing this intention, Li Chengliang was greatly shocked by this, and at this time, Qin Tianjian in Beijing found that there was a royal qi in Liaodong when observing the celestial phenomena, and concluded that there would be an emperor here, so the imperial court immediately sent personnel to investigate.

Li Chengliang thought of the seven red moles on the soles of Qing Taizu's feet, and immediately suspected that the imperial court was going to arrest the little scholar in front of his account, and Qing Taizu also realized Li Chengliang's vigilance against him, so he immediately escaped from Li's mansion and fled to a grass beach in the north of Liaoyang City.

But behind Li Chengliang's pursuers got closer and closer, the exhausted Qing Taizu simply lay in a grass ditch and wanted to resign himself to fate, when a group of crows flew at this time and landed beside him, covering the almost desperate Qing Taizu in the grass ditch tightly, so he escaped Li Chengliang's pursuers.

Later, in order to repay the crow's life-saving grace, the Qing Taizu, who was in power to unify the Jurchens, ordered the Manchu people to erect wooden poles in their yards to cover tin buckets to feed the crows with grain, which is the origin of the Soren pole spread by the Manchu folklore.

"Yes, this rumor is very popular among the Manchurians, but it is not mentioned in the Golden Book, it seems that it should be made up, but the prince mentioned another thing." Turzhan said.

"What's the matter?"

"In June of the sixth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, the elite of the Ming Dynasty rushed to Liaodong, restrained Li Chengliang's military power, and asked him to send troops to explore the Liaodong region." Turzhan said.

"Daming elite to Liaodong?!" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback. "Li Chengliang is the chief soldier of Liaodong, equivalent to the highest official in Liaodong, stationed in the border with heavy troops, and only obeys the orders of the Ming Emperor, who has so much power to control Li Chengliang?"

"It is not said in the golden book, and even the Qing Taizu does not know, only that the costume is the Lei Yingwei of the Ming Dynasty, and the one who commands the army is a person wearing a golden silk mask." Turzhan said, looking at the golden book.

As soon as Turzhan's voice fell, everyone looked at me, and they were all dumbfounded, and I was so surprised that I didn't react for a long time, and it was clear that the person described in the golden book was me.

The military power and imperial power of the Ming Dynasty have always been firmly in the hands of me and the guards, no wonder it is easy to control the military power of the general army of Liaodong, but I never thought that I had been to Liaodong at that time.

"As recorded in the Golden Book, when did Lei Yingwei arrive in Liaodong?" Xue Xinrou suddenly asked.

"June of the sixth year of the Apocalypse." Turzhan replied.

"The explosion of Wang Gongchang occurred in May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the ancestor of the Bai family and one of the feathered dragons were severely injured by an ambush, and after separating from the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, they fled to the northeast and finally disappeared in the Liaodong region." Xue Xinrou said to us with a serious face. "Lei Yingwei appeared in Liaodong in June, presumably to track down the whereabouts of that feathered dragon."
