After unlocking the secret in Luban's box, Yang Jing couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Although Yang Jing is more than ninety percent sure that the clues recorded in the silk silk in the box point to the heirloom jade seal, the question is where is the "Yuecheng View" marked in this picture?

Now the only thing Yang Jing can be sure of is that the location of this picture is definitely in Huaxia, but Huaxia is bigger, where to find this Yuecheng view?

Not to mention that this picture was painted more than 1,000 years ago, when there was a Taoist temple of Yuecheng Temple, but now?

At present, there are only a handful of Taoist temples in China that can preserve the previous year, and those are very large-scale Taoist temples, like the Taoist temple in the painting, which looks not much larger than ordinary houses, must not be preserved for a thousand years.

If you want to find such a small Taoist temple in the long history of thousands of years, this is not less difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.

There is no doubt about the seductive power of the national seal, even if it is just a clue, it is enough to make Yang Jing unable to sleep.

Through the identification skills, Yang Jing already knew that this picture was also from the hand of that Yuechengzi, and the time of drawing was three years later than the time when the Luban box was manufactured, and this picture painted on silk was painted in 936 AD, and this year happened to be the year when Li Congke, the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, threw himself into the fire with the seal of the country.

What does this time difference mean?

Yang Jing, who couldn't sleep, sat up from the bed, pushed open the bedroom window, and the cold night breeze suddenly poured in from the outside, making Yang Jing shiver involuntarily.

Lighting a cigarette, Yang Jing looked at the dimly lit Manhattan below, but his gaze did not stop at any of the buildings for even a second. Maybe it was the stimulation of tobacco, or maybe it was the cold wind blowing on his face, Yang Jing's originally impatient mood gradually calmed down, and his mind began to gradually become clear.

"This Yue Chengzi must have something to do with Li Congke!" Yang Jing said to himself, "Li Congke respects Taoism, while Yue Chengzi is a Taoist priest, and there is a great possibility that there is a direct connection between the two." ”

Yang Jing returned to the desk, picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the table, wrote down the names of "Li Congke" and "Yue Chengzi", and then wrote a "Luban box" under these two names.

"According to the production process of this Luban box, it is enough to show that this Yuechengzi is a very powerful Taoist, such a complex Luban box mechanism, if there are no two brushes, I am afraid it will not be able to be made. The most important thing is that the materials used to make this box are mainly silver, and in that era, ordinary Taoist priests probably couldn't afford to use such expensive silver, right?"

Yang Jing knew that before the Ming Dynasty, China was short of silver, and silver was a very expensive precious metal, although it was not as valuable as gold, but its value far exceeded the exchange ratio between copper and silver at that time.

In the Later Tang Dynasty, Huaxia was also short of silver, and the weight of this Luban box in the hand alone was about 3.5 kilograms, according to the Later Tang Dynasty one or two silver exchanged for a copper coin, that is, a thousand copper coins, a catty of sixteen taels, the weight of this Luban box if converted to the weight of the Tang Dynasty, about five catties (a catty in the Tang Dynasty was 680 grams), that is to say, this box alone can be exchanged for eighty taels of silver, eighty thousand copper coins. In the later Tang Dynasty, the proportion of silver exchanged for copper coins was even higher, so the silver used to make this Luban box alone could be exchanged for almost 100,000 copper coins.

An ordinary Taoist priest probably couldn't have taken out so many copper coins in that era, let alone used it to make a Luban box.

"This Yuechengzi should be very valued by Li Congke, otherwise he would not have the luxury of using silver to build this Luban box! It is even very likely that this Yuechengzi will still serve as Li Congke's high-ranking official during the Qing Tai period!"

This is not Yang Jing's random guessing, Taoist priests were very used in the Tang Dynasty, for example, Yuan Tiangang once served as Li Shimin's think tank, and later he was sent down to serve as a county commander. And Li Congke worships Taoism, maybe he met this Yuechengzi somewhere, and this Yuechengzi does have some skills, so he is valued by Li Congke, and it is not impossible for Li Congke to be entrusted with important tasks after Li Congke became the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

"Only if this Yuechengzi has a certain status in the Later Tang Qingtai period, he will use silver doped with other metals to build this Luban box. While Yang Jing muttered to himself, he wrote the words "Qingtai Senior Official" next to the name of "Yuechengzi" on the paper with a pen.

Qingtai is the name of the late Tang Emperor Li Congke.

"The box was made three years earlier than the silk, but why are those eight words written on this silk?" Yang Jing rubbed his brow in distress, he still couldn't figure out why this Yue Chengzi wrote those eight words on this picture.

"Could it be that Yue Chengzi found the jade seal of the country after Li Congke set himself on fire and extinguished the fire? And then he secretly hid it? Well, this is not an impossible thing, and it seems that there is a great possibility!" After thinking for a long time, Yang Jing could only use this reason to explain.

can go around and around, and eventually you have to go around to where the "Yuecheng View" is.

Yang Jing looked at the paper that was painted into a mess, and could only helplessly clump the paper into a ball, and then threw it into the wastebasket.

After thinking about it, Yang Jing could only sink his consciousness into the storage space again, and opened the picture to observe carefully.

"Don't worry about it in Yuechengguan, the most obvious mark of this picture is the sixteen peaks and the big river!" Yang Jing imprinted this picture deeply in his mind, and then withdrew from the storage space, and then drew the picture roughly from a piece of paper.

Yang Jing was interested in checking the Internet for information on the "16 peaks," but in this era, where is the Internet? Even if there were, there would be no geographical information on China in the United States today.

In desperation, Yang Jing tore up the piece of paper again and threw it into the paper basket......

Early the next morning, Yang Jing came to the office of KY Investment Fund and gathered a group of executives for a meeting, at which Yang Jing focused on next year's investment intentions and the merger and acquisition of Hartford German Civil Company and Arlington Trust, which ended the meeting. Then, after saying goodbye to Mike Aller, Yang Jing walked out of the office building and found a place where no one was around, and directly traveled back to the original time and space.

After returning to Tianqu, Yang Jing immediately returned home, then turned on the computer and began to query.

In Du Niang's search bar, I entered some key words such as "sixteen peaks", and Du Niang immediately displayed a lot of entries about "sixteen peaks". Among them, the most is Changbai Mountain.

After clicking on an entry to enter, sure enough, the most famous thing in Changbai Mountain besides the Tianchi is the sixteen peaks around the periphery of the Tianchi.

Both the introduction and the pictures clearly show that the sixteen peaks surrounding Tianchi are one of the most famous attractions in Changbai Mountain.

It's a pity that Yang Jing directly vetoed Changbai Mountain.

The era when Yuechengzi appeared was in the Later Tang Dynasty, and in the Later Tang Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was still a wild land, and the most important thing is that when Li Congke was the emperor, the national capital was in Luoyang.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was not as good as now, and it took more than two hours to take a plane from Luoyang to Changbai Mountain, even if it was a train, it was a matter of dozens of hours. In the post-Tang era, if you want to go from Changbai Mountain to Luoyang, you don't have two or three months.

Li Congke obviously would not find a Taoist priest from Changbai Mountain to serve as his high-ranking official.

That is, the Taoist priest of Yue Chengzi should be a Taoist priest born near Luoyang. This also happens to be able to prove that Taoism flourished in the area at that time.

Whether it is Wangwu Mountain or Zhongtiao Mountain around Luoyang, it is an area where Taoism is extremely prosperous. Even before Li Congke became emperor, he was the king of Lu who stayed in Xijing (Chang'an), and the Qinling Mountains near Chang'an were also an extremely prosperous area for Taoism.

In other words, there is a great possibility that this Yuechengzi came from the mountainous areas around Chang'an or Luoyang!

However, there are too many mountains in this area, such as Luoyang, Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain in the north, Waifang Mountain in the south, Songshan Mountain and Pishan Mountain in the west, and Kunshan Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain in the east, which are completely in the embrace of the mountains.

As for Chang'an, there are even more mountains around, and just one Qinling Mountains is enough!

With so many mountains, where can you find a mountain with sixteen peaks?

Yang Jing opened Google Maps, facing a piece of green representing the mountains, his face was full of bitterness, and his right hand unconsciously controlled the wheel of the mouse, so that the idea map on the screen would expand and shrink for a while, and then switch between satellite and topographic maps.

Suddenly, Yang Jing's eyes were attracted by a large river on the map - it was the mother river of China, the Yellow River.

"Yes, isn't there a big river on that picture?" Yang Jing almost gave himself an ear scraper in excitement, why did he forget such an important clue just now?

With sixteen peaks and the big river right in the valley, it was obvious that this could not be near Chang'an. Although there is the Wei River in the north of the Qinling Mountains, the Wei River is still a little far from the Qinling Mountains, and it is impossible to roar and shuttle in the valley as depicted in the painting.

Then only the vicinity of Luoyang is the only one that qualifies.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to control the Yellow River, the government also built two large-scale water conservancy projects in this section of the river -- the Sanmenxia Reservoir and the Xiaolangdi Project.

Yang Jing immediately expanded the electronic map again, looking at this section of the Yellow River, the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.

Then, when Yang Jing entered a few other key words from Du Niang's search bar again, the answer given by Du Niang made him suddenly happy......
