Chapter 19: Luo Xuan's Divine Strategy
I raised my head calmly, the huge stone statue in front of me was majestic and upright, and the huge eyes showed the resentment of dying before my ambition was rewarded
Huo Qian suddenly understood and said excitedly.
"Yuan Chonghuan! To give...... The person who transported the treasury to Chongzhen to the treasure...... It's Yuan Chonghuan! ”
I turned my head and nodded calmly.
Chongzhen's accession to the throne coincided with the country's internal and external troubles, with millions of peasant rebels on the Loess Plateau outside, and Manchurian iron cavalry outside. He worked hard, often recruited the right platform, consulted on the gains and losses of the government, discussed the way of rise and fall with his subordinates, and inspected the government, and wanted to be the master of Zhongxing. ”
Huo Qian agreed with what I said and took over.
"Chongzhen is diligent in political affairs, thrifty and simple, and six guilty of his own edict, is a young and promising emperor, but he is eager to govern, and the ministers are too sudden, so that people panic, and the words and roads are often said to be non-human, and eventually become a lonely person, to the coal mountain martyrdom, throughout Chongzhen's life, it can be said that it is not the tragedy of the king of the country."
"Even a loyal minister like Yuan Chonghuan, a big hero can be killed, this emperor is an old man, he is simply a faint king." Xiao Lianshan said disdainfully with a pout.
"Chongzhen didn't kill Yuan Chonghuan originally, at that time, internal and external troubles, Yuan Chonghuan was able to resist the Qing Dynasty with remarkable results, Chongzhen also praised Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of leveling Liao, Chongzhen was not stupid no matter how stupid he was, and he killed Yuan Chonghuan with a few rumors, which was simply self-defeating." I say.
"But Yuan Chonghuan was obviously ordered by Chongzhen to be executed by Ling Chi, why is this?" Yue Thunder asked puzzled.
"Brother Qian is right, Yuan Chonghuan is the one who helped Chongzhen transport the treasury to the Ming Fourteen Tombs, because the treasury was empty, Chongzhen wanted to open the treasure, so he ordered Yuan Chonghuan to return to the court, but the enemy is current, Yuan Chonghuan is afraid that he will go back like this, so he will go to Chongzhen, draw a map of the location of the Ming Fourteen Tombs, let his cronies send them back to Beijing, and then let Chongzhen arrange for others to open it, it is this secret that makes Chongzhen murderous!" I said it without hurrying.
"General Yuan's words are also reasonable, people are fighting on the front line, and the generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, not to mention that the military situation is urgent, it is reasonable to send other people, this emperor Lao'er has bean dregs in his head." The more Xiao Lianshan listened, the more angry he became.
"Lianshan, I'm Chongzhen, I'll kill Yuan Chonghuan!" Huo Qian said thoughtfully when he heard this. "Such a confidential matter of the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty is originally a big taboo, and it is inevitable that a god like Liu Bowen will retire to the court, Yuan Chonghuan can easily draw the location of the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, what do you think Chongzhen will think?"
"Brother Qian is right, Hong Chengchou has been cleared at that time, in case Yuan Chonghuan also follows in Hong Chengchou's footsteps, he is a person who knows the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, the country is in danger, not to mention that he can draw pictures for Chongzhen, and he can also paint for others, such a person Chongzhen can't stay." I say
"Well, Yan Hui's analysis makes sense, who is not the emperor is suspicious by nature, about Jiangshan Sheji, not to mention where his own silver is buried Yuan Chonghuan knows very clearly, such a person really can't stay." Yue Thunder also nodded and said.
"So Chongzhen is rarely confused, and killed Yuan Chonghuan for the trumped-up crime of treason against the enemy." I continued. "However, Yuan Chonghuan also realized that he had committed a big taboo, just in case, he hid the location of the 14th Tombs of the Ming Dynasty in a book and handed it over to future generations, and told the descendants of the Yuan family not to covet the treasures in it, otherwise they will be punished by God!"
"Could it be...... Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan hid the location of the 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in ...... Hidden in this Luo Xuan Divine Strategy! Yue Thunder said dumbfounded.
I took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
Huo Qian carefully picked up Luo Xuan's divine strategy from the oil paper, opened the book, Huo Qian's originally excited expression became darker and darker, and then handed the book to me.
I took the book, and every one in the book had strange lines and symbols, but most of the places were blank, and there was nothing peculiar about it from any direction, like a wordless book.
"I can't draw a treasure map, how can I be a general, who can understand this." The more thunder watched anxiously from the side.
I smiled disapprovingly.
"Brother Ting, Yuan Chonghuan is not an ordinary person, he can lead a million army against the enemy, and his strategy will not be bad, if the treasure map is drawn intact in this book, it is mostly fake, Yuan Chonghuan hid the treasure in this book, and he didn't know what his prospects were, and he didn't want people to know the treasure of Daming, but he left a trick for himself."
"Yan Hui, is this rumor true?"
"I don't dare to absolutely guarantee it, but at least from the current situation, there is a real existence of the Ming Fourteen Tombs, as long as anyone can unlock the secret of this Luo Xuan Divine Policy, they can know the location of the Ming Fourteen Tombs."
Yue Thunder touched the board and took a few steps back and forth anxiously.
"That's what I said...... But, but there are strange lines in this book, and I draw a few strokes in each article, and I don't know what it means. ”
"Brother, could it be that these lines overlap together to be a treasure map?" Xiao Lianshan said casually beside him.
Huo Qian seemed to think of something when he heard this, and immediately took the book from my hand and put it above his head to look at the light.
"It's useless, how can it be so simple, if it is a treasure map together, why does Yuan Chonghuan bother to draw a stroke for each article, since he doesn't want others to understand, he doesn't need such a superficial method." I say.
Sure enough, Huo Qian's expression darkened after reading it for a while, and he shook his head and handed the book back to me.
"Use water, put this book in the water, I used to hear the old people in the village say that many treasure maps are revealed in the water." Xiao Lianshan was still thinking about ideas.
"yes, how did I forget this stubble, maybe it was painted with invisible ink." Yue Thunder slapped his head and laughed.
"Probably not, if you use this method, Yuan Chonghuan doesn't need to leave these lines and symbols in every article at all." I still shook my head in denial.
"Hey! It's not, it's not, even if there's a treasure in it, it's still a broken book if you can't understand it. Yue Thunder sighed distraughtly.
"Actually, don't worry too much about what is drawn in the book, but think about the use of these lines and symbols." I say.
"Yanhui, do you know how to read this book?" Huo Qian listened to my tone and had hope again.
"Hehe, I don't know." I shook my head and smiled.
Yue Thunder was like a deflated balloon, just stood up and squatted down.
"But I know that Yuan Chonghuan left other clues in addition to this book."
"Where, Yan Hui, there are other clues!" Yue Thunder asked excitedly.
I looked intently at the golden dragon turtle on the disc and said thoughtfully.
"This is the altar built by Yuan Chonghuan's descendants, and it is not surprising that there is Luo Xuan Shence in it, but don't you think it is strange that this golden dragon turtle and Luo Xuan Shence are put together?"
"It also feels strange to hear you say that, these two things must be somehow related when put together." Huo Qian also nodded and said.
"Yuan Chonghuan hid the clues of the Ming Fourteenth Tombs in Luo Xuan Shence, on the one hand, he didn't want people to know this secret easily, so he left a book that he couldn't understand, and to unlock the secret in the book, it must be related to this golden dragon turtle." I say with certainty.
"The dragon turtle is a thing of pure yang, an ancient divine beast, revealing the number of heaven and earth, a Taiji thing, astronomy, geography, and the world." Huo Qian's gaze also fell on the golden dragon turtle of the disc. "And the dragon turtle is also a thing of fortune town, and according to legend, it is a divine beast used to guard the treasure, which just echoes with Luo Xuan's divine strategy."
"In this way, this Golden Dragon Turtle is the key to unlocking Luo Xuan's Divine Strategy!"
The willows and flowers are bright and another village, and the more thunder heard that the golden dragon turtle turned out to be used for this purpose, so he reached out and took it.
"Don't move!"
As soon as my words were shouted, the Golden Dragon Turtle had already been held in the hands of Yue Thunder, and after the Golden Dragon Turtle left the disc, the altar shook violently in an instant, the ground shook, and the stone pillars supporting the altar collapsed one after another, and a large amount of river water poured in from the cracks in the ground.
"Lianshan, protect Brother Ting, Brother Qian, hurry up, it's dangerous here and it will collapse at any time."
As I spoke, I picked up the ancient book from the slowly sinking disc, wrapped it in oiled paper, and carefully put it in my clothes.
As soon as we ran away from the main hall, we heard a loud "boom", and the huge stone statue fell down just enough to hit the position where we were standing just now, and the river in the main hall was gushing more and more, and slowly began to sink.
I hurriedly quickened my speed and ran towards the exit, the passage behind me broke off layer by layer, revealing the raging river underground, and by the time I jumped into the entrance, the entire imposing altar had collapsed and sunk into the ground.
I was pulled out of the pond by Xiao Lianshan, and when I saw Yue Thunder still panting on the ground, pointing to my back, I turned around, the ruins of the previous altar were now completely invisible, and the river that poured in for a moment turned the original site of the altar into an ocean.
My hand was tightly clasped around the book wrapped in oiled paper on my chest and I looked at Huo Qian.
Huo Qian understood that he would stand up and say loudly.
"Let me go, the ancient tomb collapsed and was covered by the river, and nothing was found in it except a golden dragon tortoise."
