Chapter 64: The End of the Secret
When Gu Anqi heard this, she immediately got up from her chair, took the transcribed military book from my hand and turned it to the last page, and the page number was ninety-eight.
Gu Anqi's mouth slowly opened and a happy expression hung on the corner of her mouth, she should think of the same thing as me, the largest number on the tattoo is seventy-five, and the last page in the art of war is ninety-eight, that is, the number on the tattoo does not exceed the number of the page.
"The numbers on those tattoos actually correspond to the words in the military book, and each of the eighteen red wolves has two numbers, one of which refers to the page number, and the other is the first few words on the page."
Yun Duruo also stood up with a sudden realization.
"Every red wolf has a number, and Genghis Khan's art of war is the code book, eighteen red wolves...... That's eighteen words! ”
Nangong Yi said ecstatically.
"These eighteen words should be the clues of the imperial tomb left by Genghis Khan."
We hurriedly followed this idea to compare the numbers on the human skin tattoos, and then compared them with the words in the art of war, and finally really came up with eighteen words, and the words presented to us after Nangong Yi's translation were.
The camel of the white earth descends to the desert of hair, and the spirit is convenient.
Because we didn't know the order of the tattoo numbers inherited by the eighteen red wolves, the eighteen characters we got were disorganized, and it took us a whole night to rearrange them.
When the last word was arranged, we all looked excitedly at the sentence on the table.
The white camel's hair, where it descends into the desert, is the resting place of my soul.
It seems that we are not wrong, the number on the tattoo is the text in the Art of War, and these eighteen characters accurately indicate the location of the tomb of Emperor Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan told the eighteen people who guarded the secret of the mausoleum in this way, no, plus the mausoleum keeper was exactly nineteen red wolves, although I still can't understand that after the death of a generation of Tianjiao, he should be buried in the earth, don't say that he is a holy lord of the four seas, even if it is an unknown ordinary person who dies, he does not want anyone to bother, but how to look at the clue that Genghis Khan left the emperor's tomb seems to be waiting to be opened.
I looked at Xiao Lianshan at this moment his face became heavy and resolute, as if the closer he was to this magnificent imperial mausoleum, the more worried he became, I remembered the conversation between him and Li Zhao and Qingyang, Xiao Lianshan wanted to open the tomb of Genghis Khan not to covet the treasure inside, but the unknown and mysterious thing, until now I still don't know what kind of thing it is, so that the Fusang people can find it with perseverance for hundreds of years, even at the expense of heinous murder, I don't understand why Xiao Lianshan promised Li Zhao and Qingyang that he would not hesitate to risk his life and not let things fall into the hands of Fusang.
The joy of finding the clue only lasted for a short time on everyone's face before gradually dissipating, and the eighteen words that Genghis Khan painstakingly left behind were obviously trying to indicate the location of the emperor's tomb, but ...... The white camel's hair, where it descends into the desert, is the resting place of my soul.
From the eighteen words between the lines to comprehend, there is an allusion to the hair of a hundred camels, we have heard from the mouth of the mausoleum keeper Lubatu, it is said that Genghis Khan died with a white male camel mane, put it on Genghis Khan's mouth and nose, and wait until it is no longer panting, indicating that the soul has been attached to this piece of white camel hair, and the body can be disposed of, and this camel hair is stored in the coffin for future generations to pay tribute.
It seems that this rumor is not groundless, and the white camel's hair should refer to the camel hair attached to Genghis Khan's soul, which, according to Rubatu, is still in Genghis Khan's coffin.
But we can understand the meaning of the latter words, but we don't understand the real meaning, literally it means that the place where the camel hair attached to Genghis Khan's soul landed is the location of the emperor's mausoleum.
These words seem to point us in the direction, but when we think about it, we don't say anything, even if we get the camel hair from the coffin, could it be that the place where we can just raise our hands and land with the camel hair is where the emperor's tomb is located?
This is obviously illogical, as any slight change in the environment will lead to the direction and location of the camel hair.
"This sentence is incomplete, if you take it literally, it is still a sentence short."
The prince said casually.
"What's missing?"
Yun Duruo asked suspiciously.
"Where to raise the camel hair, this is the most important clue, otherwise even if we know the way to find the emperor's tomb, no place is equivalent to working in vain."
Han Yu sighed and said lightly.
"Indeed, although there has never been an exact record of the location of Genghis Khan's tomb for hundreds of years, it is certain that the location of Genghis Khan's burial should be in Mongolia."
Nangong Yi thought about it and said calmly.
"And we already know that the mausoleum for Genghis Khan was built by Qiu Chuji's disciple Hong Xuzi, about the record of the meeting between Qiu Chuji and Genghis Khan, Qiu Chuji's westward range is very large, Hong Xuzi can choose a site to build a mausoleum for Genghis Khan anywhere, if we don't have an exact location, it is simply at a loss."
Everyone in the room was worried, but Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi were much calmer at the moment, the two of them hadn't spoken for a long time, and they sat on the side without saying a word, as if they were waiting for something.
"Dad, since Hongxuzi built the imperial mausoleum for Genghis Khan, he wrote to his brother before he died, can the location of the mausoleum be mentioned in the letter?"
I walked up to Xiao Lianshan and asked seriously.
"Qiu Chuji is a master of the Tao, Genghis Khan respects him as a god, it can be seen that his character is pure, Genghis Khan can entrust the important task of handing over the emperor's mausoleum to Qiu Chuji to build, which shows his trust, and his disciples are not only treacherous."
Xiao Lianshan replied righteously.
"Hongxuzi worked hard to live up to expectations, but he did not disgrace his mission, and finally completed the emperor's mausoleum repair, and told him that Qiu Zhiji and his brother were just Mingzhi, how could they reveal the location of the mausoleum."
"If Hongxuzi really leaked the location of the emperor's mausoleum, I'm afraid that Genghis Khan's mausoleum would have been found long ago."
Gu Anqi said with reverence next to him.
"In the letter he wrote to his brother, he didn't mention the location of the emperor's tomb, but he just told his brother about the mechanism one by one, but he didn't mean to reveal the secret."
"But the organs in the Imperial Tomb are very important, why should Hongxuzi tell his brother?"
Nangong Yi asked puzzled.
"It's cold in the heights."
Gu Anqi said to us unhurriedly.
"Hongxuzi's mechanism is unmatched, and his brother is also obsessed with it, of course he wants to share the mechanism that Hongxuzi has built with all his efforts, and there is no one who understands him better than his brother, and he recorded in his letter that the method of cracking the mechanism is just to share his achievements with a person of equal strength."
In this way, the clue to find Genghis Khan's tomb was interrupted again, but I still don't understand why I still can't see a trace of disappointment on the faces of Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi.
"Dad, is there anything else you haven't told us?"
Gu Xiaoxiao should have also noticed that the expressions of the two of them were different from ours, and asked with a mischievous smile.
"All the clues are here, what I know is what you know, how could I hide something from you."
Xiao Lianshan smiled faintly, his expression was very relaxed.
"Then why aren't you and your mother in a hurry at all?"
Gu Xiaoxiao asked relentlessly.
"What's there to be anxious about, this imperial tomb has been silent for hundreds of years, and you can find it in a hurry?"
Gu Anqi smiled meaningfully.
"Some things will come naturally when they should come, and it is useless to be in a hurry."
"That'...... Now that the clues are broken, what are we going to do now? ”
Gu Xiao asked discouragedly.
"Wait."
Xiao Lianshan blurted out.
"Wait?"
I looked at him in surprise and asked suspiciously.
"Dad, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as I asked, there was a knock on the door, and it was Yun Chengyu who pushed the door in, holding a wooden box in his hand and putting it in front of Xiao Lianshan.
"Master, the place you ordered to investigate has been found."
"Where?"
"Mount Kent."
The corners of Xiao Lianshan's mouth slowly curled, it was rare to see such an excited smile on his face, he and Gu Anqi glanced at each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Lianshan opened the wooden box on the table in front of us, and there was a small stone in it, which I recognized at a glance, which Xiao Lianshan specially brought back when we left when we went to the grassland to explore the stone tablet before.
It seems that Xiao Lianshan brought back this stone not unintentionally, during this time he must have ordered Yun Chengyu to send someone to investigate this stone, but I still don't understand what it means to study a stone for no reason.
Xiao Lianshan took out the stone from the wooden box and looked back and forth a few times, slowly looked at us and said with a faint smile.
"Genghis Khan is buried in Mount Kent!"
“……”
Almost all of us looked at Xiao Lianshan in amazement, completely unable to understand why he was so sure.
"In fact, Genghis Khan marked the location of his mausoleum from the beginning, but no one thought of it, and no one would think about it."
Xiao Lianshan's gaze returned to the stone in his hand.
"And it's where it's marked and where everyone can see it."
"Where can everyone see? He...... Where is Genghis Khan marked? ”
Gu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"Why don't you understand until now, Genghis Khan enclosed the land with the stele as the center, which is a holy stele in the hearts of the Mongols, and all the eight white rooms are built with the stele as the center, but you know that the stele is not only the inheritance of the clues of the emperor's tomb, but also the place where the eighteen red wolves left the grassland with this as a starting point, and it is also the place where the secret of Genghis Khan's mausoleum began."
Gu Anqi smiled and said to us calmly.
"The tattoo inherited by the eighteen red wolves brings you back to the stone tablet, which is actually an allusion to the beginning and end of the secret circulation."
"Mom, you mean ...... That...... That stele is actually a mark left by Genghis Khan?! ”
I asked in surprise
