Chapter 726: Shaman Hall
I was about to ask, when my eyes fell on the tin stick that the palace lord was holding, and as she slowly removed the tin stick, a pitch-black wooden pole appeared before us, standing next to a magnificent building. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The Great Yamen of the Khan Palace!" Turzhan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said in surprise. "How did I forget this."
"This is the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace," I suddenly realized. "The tin rod left by Qing Taizu in the gold box is actually an allusion to this Sauron pole next to the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace."
Turzhan nodded excitedly, pointed to the building in front of us and said, on the west side of the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace is a deep pool, the face is wide and the water is secluded, the lotus fragrance is overflowing, the golden carp is full of ponds, under the steep slope on the east side, there is a clear pool of water, the scenery of the West Pond and the East Pond is just right, the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace is like a dragon's head, the two Hong blue water are reflected left and right, just like the dragon's eyes, so the transcription of the two eyes of the dragon.
"The flying dragon on the silk cloth is actually a hint at the great yamen of the Khan Palace, and the tin stick refers to the Sauron pole next to it." A smile broke out on the palace lord's face. "The clues left by Qing Taizu in the gold box have all been solved, and the place where the shadow of Sauron's pole in the moonlight points to is the secret left by Qing Taizu."
"What relics did the Qing Taizu leave behind in Hetuala?" Tian Ji subconsciously stepped on the ground and said to us. "There's probably nothing to build down here."
"Impossible." Bai Jin shook his head and said. "The Hetuara you see today, except for the few walls you saw before entering the city, all the buildings here were built later."
"Hetuara was the holy city of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was later destroyed in the war, and only the ruins of the ruins remained, including the Great Yamen of the Khan's Palace, which were rebuilt." Turzhan nodded.
"Rebuilt?" Ye Jiuqing frowned, pointed to the ground and asked. "Excavated down here?"
"Yes, and it's been dug back and forth more than once, and if there was something down there, it should have been discovered a long time ago." Bai Jin said.
"Since there is nothing underground, it should be on the ground, but these original buildings have all been destroyed, in case the clues left by Qing Taizu are in these buildings, wouldn't it be interrupted!" Tian Ji said worriedly.
"What Qing Taizu wants to leave behind is the treasure of the Great Qing Dragon Vein, any unexpected situation should be taken into account, in case there is really negligence, even if we will never be able to find the treasure." Xue Xinrou was also a little worried.
"Since we are all here, and we have done everything that should be done, we will do our best to obey the destiny of God, and the rest only needs to wait until three o'clock in the morning tonight, and everything will be clear." Ye Jiuqing said.
I have never felt that the time has been so long, the winter night here is unusually cold, we have no sleep, and when it is almost three o'clock in the morning, we walked to the Great Yamen of the Khan's Palace, the moonlight at night is bright, covering the ancient city with a layer of silver veil, and the Sauron pole behind the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace pulls a long shadow, which is particularly eye-catching in the snow.
Xue Xinrou looked at her watch from time to time, and we stared at the shadows that shifted with the moonlight without saying a word.
"It's coming, there's still a minute." Xue Xinrou's voice reminded us nervously.
Everyone stared intently at the shadows, but the yin and yang of Sauron's pole stopped at a building, and we looked at each other, and suddenly felt like we had fallen into an ice cave, and our hearts were far colder than the wind and snow here.
"What is this building for?"
"This is a shamanic temple, because the Manchus believe in shamanism." Bai Jin's voice was a little disappointed. "Manchurian people believe in ghosts and gods, and if they are undecided, they can ask God, and they can also rule the world through the mouth of God.
I walked quickly to the temple, the shadow of Sauron's pole resting on the brick wall of the temple, it was clear that there could be no clues left here, and even if there were, it would have been destroyed in the war.
"Why did you choose the shrine?" Ye Jiuqing was upset. "Could it be something else?"
Turzhan's expression was also very lost, and he said to us that the religious beliefs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very messy, in addition to the Guandi Temple we saw before, there was even Kong Ming, which was the Qing Taizu in order to accelerate the process of feudalization of the post-Jin regime, using religious means, widely absorbing and integrating the Han culture of the Central Plains, and respecting Confucianism and Han culture.
Soon after the construction of the ancient city of Hetuala, the Temple of Literature was built on Gaofu, in the southeast corner of the inner city. At that time, the Confucian Temple was grand and majestic in scale, the bath was brilliant, the bells and drums sang in unison, the cigarettes were burning, and the good men and women worshiped endlessly.
Not only that, but in the city of Hetuala, there are two of the seven royal temples of the Later Jin Dynasty.
They are Dizang Temple and Xianyou Palace, Dizang Temple is a Buddhist temple, but unfortunately destroyed in the war, can only trace the golden splendor of this temple from some Manchu ancient books, the main building of Dizang Temple has the mountain gate nave, the apse and the east and west side hall and the bell tower, the drum tower composition.
And located on the west side of the Tibetan Temple is the Xianyou Palace, it is a very famous Taoist palace in the Liaodong region of the Qing Dynasty, there are the Jade Emperor Dragon and Tiger Palace, the Sanguan Palace, the Ejian Monument, the Incense Pavilion and so on, it is a two-entry type building complex, the building is simple and elegant, the spirit is full, the painting is brilliant.
Dizang Temple and Xianyou Palace are only separated by one road, this kind of Buddhism and Taoism live next to each other, it is extremely rare in any place, one of the eight views of Xingjing is the evening bell of the Imperial Temple, the sun sets, the Imperial Temple is hidden, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the bell rings in the forest
"Compared to these temples, the shaman hall is not so thick, and I can't figure out why Grandpa Tai chose to leave clues in the shaman hall." Turzhan said.
"Could it be that we are wrong, that the clues left in the gold box are not what we think?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"There should be no mistakes, the clues in the gold box are all right, there can be no more negligence and omission, maybe it's not us who are wrong." The palace lord touched the place where the shadow had stayed before. "When Qing Taizu left a clue, if he thought that the Holy City could be immortalized, he didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty's rivers and mountains would only last for three hundred years."
"You mean to say that the clue was left here, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war?" I asked, worried.
"Otherwise, I really can't think of any other explanation or reason." The palace lord nodded.
"This is the only clue about the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, if it is destroyed like this, I am afraid there will be no chance to find the treasure." Ye Jiuqing sighed heavily, probably still unwilling. "Bai Jin, think about it again, your ancestors can have"
Ye Jiuqing turned around and found that Bai Jin was not in the Divine Hall, and we turned around to see him standing below alone, pointing back and forth with his hand with a solemn and puzzled expression: "Brother Ye, you stand aside." ”
Only then did I realize that Bai Jin was pointing to the brick wall behind us, Bai Jin's expression became more and more confused, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked Turzhan: "Although this shaman shrine is rebuilt, it is rebuilt according to the original shrine?" ”
"Yes, the size and style are exactly the same, Master Bai, there is no difference between the Hetuara you see now and the Great Grandfather when it was built." Turzhan nodded affirmatively.
"What about the decorations on the shaman's temple?" Bai Jin asked in an accentuated tone.
"Decoration?" Turzhan looked back. "Oh, you mean these eight flags, it's impossible to be wrong to take them, this is a rule left by the ancestors, and every flag is placed where it is placed, and it can't be wrong."
I saw that Ye Jiuqing seemed to have some hope in his eyes, and he walked quickly to Bai Jin: "Did you see something?" ”
"We have always said that Qing Taizu is very concerned about the inheritance of the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, and if he wants to leave clues to the inheritors, he will be extremely cautious and careful, and he will also take into account all possible events, so he should leave the clues in a place where they will not be destroyed." Bai Jin tugged at his collar and said as he stomped his feet. "No one can guarantee that the building will always stand, but the rules can be passed on."
After listening to it and thinking about it, I immediately looked up at the temple again: "You mean, the clues are not left in the temple, but on these flags. ”
"Don't really say it, Uncle Bai's idea really makes sense, the Eight Banners system was founded by Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, and when it was first built, there were only three flags: black flags, white flags, and red flags, and later the three flags were expanded to eight flags." Ye Zhiqiu's eyes also regained their luster. "In addition to the four positive color flags, the yellow, white, and blue are inlaid with red, and the red is inlaid with white, and all the people under the jurisdiction of the Houjin are arranged in the flag, and the three flags of the yellow, inlaid yellow, and blue are commanded by the emperor, and they are called the upper three flags, and the remaining five flags are called the lower five flags."
"No matter how time changes, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not change, and the clues left on it will always be passed on." Tian Ji said happily.
"Uncle Bai, you saw most clearly below just now, which flag did the shadow of the Solo pole point to?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
Bai Jin scratched his head, his expression was a little puzzled, and he raised his hand and pointed to the temple: "The position between the blue flag and the blue flag." ”
"Between?!" I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bai Jin's finger, and sure enough, it was between the two blue flags. "W-what does this mean?"
"That's not right." Xue Xinrou said in a solemn voice behind her. "If what Qing Taizu wants to pass on is the Eight Banners, why bother to guide the people who inherit the treasure to come to Hetuala, he can leave clues in the golden box, and there is no need to do anything more."
"Xinrou is right, it can be seen that this clue must be related to Hetuala." Ye Jiuqing nodded and looked at the Divine Hall. "These Eight Flags can be seen everywhere, and they won't change anything if they are placed in Hetuala."
Just when we were at a loss, Turzhan suddenly walked forward slowly, and returned to the temple, where he happened to be standing near the place of his finger, but he did not see the flag fluttering in the wind and snow, but his trembling hand touched a red ribbon tied to the stone fence between the two blue flags.
"This! It's this! The clue that Grandpa Tai wants to pass on is this! Turzhan's voice trembled like his hands. This thing has a special meaning only in Hetuala! ”
