Chapter 724: The Finishing Touch
Bai Jin pointed to the dragon in the painting and said, Hetuara is the real dragon son living in the imperial city, the dragon here may refer to the emperor of the Qing Taizu, and the dragon is above the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, will it be said that the Qing Taizu and the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace have any relationship.

Turzhan quickly shook his head and denied Bai Jin's idea, the importance of the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace is self-evident in Hetuala, it was here that the Qing Taizu established the Great Qing Dynasty, the year name is the Mandate of Heaven, and the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace.
It is an important place for Qing Taizu to govern national affairs, study military aircraft, issue government decrees, receive envoys, and reward Baylor ministers, and strategize here, laying a solid foundation for marching into Liaoshen to unify the Northeast Jurchens.
"If you follow Bai Ye's speculation, it is difficult to estimate the number of times Grandpa Tai has gone to the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, and Grandpa Tai continues to think that he will not leave clues in such a conspicuous place." Turzhan said with a nail in the coffin.
"Why is this dragon" Tian Ji's head was buried very low, scratching his head and looking at it for a long time, staring intently at the soaring dragon in surprise. "This dragon doesn't seem to have eyes?!"
We all listened curiously around it, looking at the place where the field chicken fingers, the lifelike flying dragon I felt strange before I saw it, but I never thought of anything wrong, the field chicken said so I reacted, although the flying dragon is vividly drawn, but as the field chicken said there are no eyes, no wonder I felt surprised before, it turns out that this dragon has a shape and no god.
"Since this is a clue related to the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the clue left by the Qing Taizu is so cautious, there will never be any abruptness and omission, this dragon without eyes should have other meanings." I said thoughtfully.
"Could it be that the person who found this clue will give the dragon the finishing touch?" Xue Xinrou's voice was a little uncertain.
"Finishing touch," I said, frowning, and took a few steps back and forth. "This allusion originally said that the painter's skills were wonderful, and the origin of the allusion refers to the famous Zhang Shengqiu."
It is said that Zhang Shengqiu's paintings are vivid, and the things he painted are exactly the same as the real ones, and some people even say that the animals he painted can really come to life.
Once, he went to a place to visit, he was interested, and he painted four dragons on the wall of the Jinling Anle Temple, but he didn't draw eyes, and someone asked him why he didn't paint the dragon's eyes, and he said that the eyes are the essence of the dragon, as long as the eyes are painted, the dragon will fly away.
Everyone laughed at his arrogance, but he didn't expect him to lift the paintbrush, use enough strength, just put the eyes on the two dragons, and immediately the dark clouds rolled in, suddenly lightning and thunder, the two dragons rose into the air, and people were stunned.
"I don't think if you draw eyes on this dragon, this dragon will fly away." Tian Ji smiled bitterly disapprovingly.
I rubbed my forehead and walked back and forth a few steps, and my mouth was carefully and repeatedly chanting the words of the eye, and suddenly I saw the tin stick that Ye Jiuqing was still holding in his hand, although we speculated that the tin stick represented the Sauron pole, but the tin stick was hollow at both ends.
I tried to get Bai Jin to find ink, and stained it with a tin stick and stamped it on the paper, and when I carried it, the tin stick left a round mark, the size of a dragon's eye.
"It seems that this tin stick still has the effect of giving the finishing touch to the dragon." Ye Jiuqing smiled.
I was secretly happy in my heart, and hurriedly and carefully put the eyes of the soaring dragon.
Then all of us stared at the silk cloth without saying a word, and after a long time there was no change, of course there could be no lightning and thunder, this dragon jumped out of the paper and rose into the air, I slowly lifted the tin stick upright, my brow furrowed even tighter, I didn't understand what the tin stick had to do with the pattern.
Suddenly Turzhan's hand pressed against the back of my hand, and I saw that his eyes were particularly bright, and after a moment of silence he spoke to us.
"Some of the patterns in this silk cloth should be assumed to be right, but there is one thing that is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"There should be a deviation in your understanding of the white tiger hugging the moon, the moon belongs to the west, and the white tiger hugging the moon is inevitably a bit of a snake, and the white tiger has other meanings." Turzhan said as he looked at us intently.
"What else does the white tiger mean?" I asked, surprised.
"The rat and the horse, you speculate that it is the great yamen of the Khan Palace, and the mouse is the sub-rat, and the horse is the afternoon horse, which originates from the saying of the zodiac, and what is the tiger called in the zodiac?"
"Yinhu." Ye Jiuqing blurted out.
"Yes, it's Yinhu, and Yinhu under the moon is not referring to the direction, but to the time!" Turzhan said to us unhurriedly. "The real meaning of this painting is that at three o'clock in the morning, when it is the hour of the tin stick, this tin stick is hung above the great yamen of the Khan's palace."
We all looked at each other hesitantly, not understanding what Turzhan meant.
"When the tin stick is hung in the Khan Palace, what about the Yamenran?" Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled
The palace lord, who had been silent, suddenly pointed to the silk cloth, her fingers slowly slid on it, I looked down and suddenly realized, the tin stick cast a long shadow under the lamp, impartially just pointed to the star map, and the star map actually alluded to the great yamen of the Khan Palace.
"I understand, when Yin Shi hung a tin stick in the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, the place indicated by the shadow projected was the place where Qing Taizu was directed!" Xue Xinrou said happily.
Just as everyone was smiling, the joy on my face slowly dimmed, and I slowly shook my head and said.
"This is not right, even if we understand the meaning of this picture, but the great yamen of the Khan Palace is so tall, how can we put the tin stick on it, even if we can do it by trying to do it, but the question is, where should the tin stick be placed?"
The other people's smiles suddenly froze on their faces, if the shadow cast by the moonlight shining on the tin rod was used to indicate the location of the clue, then the position of the tin stick on the great yamen of the Khan Palace was different, and the shadow projected was also different, and if there was no exact location, it was impossible to find out. ”
Ye Jiuqing suddenly slapped on the door of his head, pointed to the silk cloth on the table and said: "Why don't you understand, all the mysteries have been revealed in this painting, and the stars are used as a metaphor for the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, which means that what we want to refer to is not the real Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, you should think about what kind of Great Yamen of the Khan Palace will appear on the paper." ”
"The Great Yamen of the Khan Palace appeared on the paper," Bai Jin suddenly raised his head and said excitedly. "Maps! It is a map of the whole picture of Hetuala, using the map as a reference, so that you can hang the tin stick above the great yamen of the Khan's palace, and the place where the shadow is cast on the map is the location where the Qing Taizu left clues. ”
Hearing this, Bai Jin hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets, and quickly found the map of Hetuala, and when the time was just up, I carefully hovered the tin stick directly above the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace on the map
We were confident that we could find the next clue, but when the shadow was cast on the map, our happy expressions were fixed on our faces, and the shadow cast by the tin stick was too long to be completely outside the map, and it stands to reason that the shadow would be fixed at a certain point on the map.
"Maybe we're wrong." Ye Zhiqiu said with some disappointment.
I was just about to speak when I noticed Turzhan looking down and thinking about something, and then muttered to himself, "There should be nothing wrong with the inference, but you took the wrong thing." ”
"Got the wrong thing?" Everyone looked at Turzhan in confusion.
I was stunned and suddenly reacted, and looked back at the map on the table. Qing Taizu left this clue to take the map of the whole city of Hetuala as a reference, and the map we are using now is not the original map used by the Qing Taizu, of course, we can't find the exact place, to find the location of the next clue, we must first find the original map of the whole picture of Hetuala used by Qing Taizu. ”
"Then I guess we'll never find the next clue." Ye Zhiqiu sat weakly on the stone chair after listening.
"Why?" Tian Ji asked.
"You don't need to ask, you don't want to think about it, Qing Taizu left this clue, but hundreds of years ago, who could know the whereabouts of the map he used, maybe it would have been lost long ago." Xue Xinrou said.
"No, there must be something wrong with us." Gong Jue frowned and pondered for a long time, and slowly shook his head and muttered to himself.
"Mistakes? There won't be any negligence, right? "I looked at the palace lord and his voice was anxious." Everything on the pattern was unraveled by us, and it was all correct, I don't see anything wrong there. ”
"If I were the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if I wanted to leave such an important clue that was related to the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty, there would be no mistakes, since that map was very important, why didn't it appear in the golden box?" Gong Jue asked with a serious face.
"Yes, it stands to reason that the map should appear in the gold box, and only in this way can the person who finds the gold box go to the location of the next clue." Ye Zhiqiu also reacted, and he couldn't figure out what to explain. "The map is not in the gold box, and Qing Taizu will definitely not be so negligent, then the only explanation is that we made a mistake in some link."
"Is there such a possibility, after all, these clues point to the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, so the Qing Taizu was extremely cautious and did not put the map in the gold box, but hid it separately to ensure the safety of the dragon vein treasure." Xue Xinruo said.
"If that's the case, then you should also leave clues about the map, but in the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Qing Taizu didn't leave anything else except the gold box." Tian Ji said.
"Maybe," Ye Jiuqing touched his chin and said thoughtfully. "Maybe Qing Taizu left the map somewhere else?"
"Dad, where?"
"The contents of the gold box hint at Hetuala, which is the land of the Great Qing Dynasty." Ye Jiuqing looked back and forth, and we said. "Hetuara is of great significance to Qing Taizu, and it makes sense for him to hide the map in the place where he claims to be emperor."
