Puppet show?

Jiang Xian's words made several people slightly stunned, and then their faces changed slightly.

Ling Xiaozi said directly: "What do you mean...... The corpses were dragged like puppets in a puppet show? ”

"That's right, didn't you notice that the corpses were particularly stiff and unnatural during the pursuit?" Jiang Xian turned his head and his gaze swept over the entire room: "And that kind of unnatural force does not come from within, it is caused by the strong traction from the outside and the joint effect of the inside. ”

Several people immediately recalled the previous circumstances, and vaguely appeared the appearance of those corpses in action.

"Like, it's really like that......"

Lin Ruoxue nodded thoughtfully: "So is it really the situation you said?" ”

"In addition to this, I also saw a lot of bugs crawling out of the walls at that time, and I saw transparent silk threads." Jiang Xian walked to the wall, kicked the dust away, and reached out to pick up a thumb-sized charred black object from underneath:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of the thread at once."

"You look at the little thing, although it is already blackened, there is still a trace of silk thread here."

Fang Yunye leaned over, looked at the things in Jiang Xian's hand and nodded: "Indeed, there is only a little silk thread, if you don't point it out, Mr. Jiang, it will be difficult to find it." ”

"The question now is not this...... Ling Xiaozi walked over, "but whether there are such terrifying monsters down there...... Hey? ”

He stretched out his hand to take the carbonized corpse in Jiang Xian's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt: "This thing ......"

"You recognize that?"

"Nonsense." Ling Xiaozi glanced at her: "Such an obvious thing, I don't recognize it, isn't it the worm in the insect tide that chased us before, but was separated by the gecko bones?" It's just that these are bigger, and they seem to be a little more ferocious. ”

"Then what else is there to say?" Jiang Xian stretched out his hand and raised his chin: "Take it out." ”

The corners of Ling Xiaozi's eyes twitched, and he reluctantly took out a few bones from his backpack: "These are a few complete bones that I specially picked, I want to try to see if I can make a talisman when I go back, you surnamed Jiang have been lost to me!" ”

"You've lost all of my Nedan."

He complained a few words, but Ling Xiaozi still handed the selected bones to a few people: "If the speculation is successful, since that thing is afraid of the breath of this bone, there should be no problem for everyone to hold it." ”

"It would be better if there was the original Nedan...... It's a pity. ”

Lin Ruoxue looked at Jiang Xian: "Then do you know about the other situations here?" ”

"We are indeed on the right path, but other paths are not impossible." Jiang Xian said to a few people: "They took the rest of the way, but he was the only one left who died, and this was still the case with explosives and firearms." ”

"If we pass, I'm afraid we'll get hurt too."

"The most important thing is that he found a large hall on that road, and the hall was full of the corpses of soldiers, which should be the soldiers who explored under Wu Sangui back then."

"In addition, there is a big black snake there, with dragon pillars standing on both sides, and there are murals in the palace to worship the big black snake."

Lin Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this: "Black snake, sacrifice, snake concubine ......"

The messages in her mind flashed through in an instant: "Could it be that this is actually the snake concubine sacrificed by the people of southern Yunnan back then...... No, it's a place to worship the black serpent, who they think is their god? And the snake concubine is actually a member of the tribe that believes in the giant snake? ”

"They built this place in order to sacrifice the big snake, and the belief in the big snake is the ancient belief in southern Yunnan?"

Several people glanced at each other, and Jiang Xian shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, it's indeed a possibility, but the information and evidence available now can't support this." ”

"If that's the case, then the construction here must have originated in the era of the Land of Baipu, or even more distant, which is in line with some of our previous speculations."

Later, Zhuang Ji led troops into southern Yunnan, unified the southern Yunnan region, and established the ancient Dian Kingdom, and those nobles would definitely feel the gap. The snake concubine may be the descendant of the group of people who were in charge of the sacrifice back then, maybe she entered the ancient Dian Kingdom just to take revenge. ”

Ling Xiaozi and the others also bowed slightly, this is indeed a possibility.

"Let's go, there may be more clues later."

Glancing at the pitch-black ashes around him, Jiang Xian took the lead and walked forward.

Everyone walked through the stone house and cautiously moved forward, and a relatively wide field was still presented in front of them. The venue was paved with flat bluestone slabs, and several tall bronze pillars stood everywhere, just a little looking, Ling Xiaozi could tell the difference.

"Nakshatra charts? It's still the combination of Dousu and Niusu in the Xuanwu Seven Nights......"

His eyes narrowed slightly: "Combined with the terrain we walked over, and the position overlooking the sky's eyes......"

"Ahead is the convergence of passages, and here is the convergence of air...... What an angry bullfight! Ling Xiaozi couldn't help but praise: "I don't know who put on this posture, the white tiger in front of him, coupled with the situation of the Tiger Mountain, obviously wants to make a situation of extravagance and longevity!" ”

Fang Yunye was a little puzzled when he heard this, and pointed to the bronze pillars in front of him and said, "Mr. Ling, what do you mean...... Were these pillars erected later? ”

"Of course." Ling Xiaozi replied without hesitation: "Although the twenty-eight constellations have long existed, the feng shui pattern of the angry bullfight was not studied until the Tang Dynasty. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's still based on the inspiration of Cui Rong's sword song in the Tang Dynasty, right?"

Jiang Xian said on the side: "The box is angry and bullfighting, and the mountain shape is turning." ”

"That's right." Ling Xiaozi nodded, and his brows furrowed slightly: "However, this feng shui bureau actually has some swords that go off the rails, and few people generally use them, especially the rich and noble." ”

"It's only in some situations where you need to break the kettle and be pushed to the limit that I try to pray for comfort in my heart."

"It's better to say it's a feng shui bureau, it's better to say something like approving orders."

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and those who can build this feng shui bureau here must have a certain degree of control over southern Yunnan, and even those in charge.

Especially if you want to keep the message from leaking.

However, most of the people who controlled southern Yunnan in the later Tang Dynasty actually did not reach the level of this kind of risky fight.

"Even the Dali Duan clan, although they have been in power by the Gao family for many years, they have not reached this position, and there is still room for maneuver." Lin Ruoxue said these words slowly: "They won't choose this kind of opportunity to survive in death......

"If you say this, there is one who lives in death, or thinks that he needs to live in death."

Jiang Xian took two steps forward, and said word by word: "King Pingxi-"

"Wu Sangui!"

Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi?

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this name, and then they were stunned.

"yes, how did you forget him!" Ling Xiaozi couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "He left a lot of traces here. And his situation at that time was also an imaginary survival in death. It is rumored that this guy is quite superstitious, and it is normal to do this. ”

"Imaginary survival in death?" Fang Yunye was puzzled: "Mr. Ling, what does this mean. ”

"It's that he doesn't have a death threat at all, but he thinks he might die."

Ling Xiaozi explained: "Didn't the little emperor Kangxi want to cut the feudal domain? There are even banners hanging in the study, looking at them day and night. And he is persecuting the three feudatories step by step, although we know from history that the Qing Dynasty has not been able to fight at this time, if it weren't for Wu Sangui's allies dragging his feet, even if he is so old, it is still very promising to build a Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”

"But the people at that time didn't know, they thought that the Eight Banners of the Qing Court were still that very strong team, and they didn't know that at this time, the Eight Banners had a tendency to be unable to defeat the Green Battalion."

"At that time, it was called the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers...... Wu Sangui and these people fought back then, so they were naturally very jealous. ”

"And with southern Yunnan, it is difficult to contend with the whole country, in this case, Wu Sangui begged for divination, asked, it is still very possible to make a feng shui bureau."

I see...... Fang Yunye nodded suddenly: "Then after he was laid out by the Feng Shui Bureau at that time, he should have gotten good results, right?" ”

"I guess his feng shui bureau at that time broke after it was laid out." Jiang Xian took a few steps forward and said slowly: "Moreover, it has also become a piece of Wu Sangui's heart. ”

How could it be!?

Fang Yunye's face was full of astonishment: "Mr. Jiang, you said before that when he raised his army, he was obviously winning consecutive battles. And the previous preparation was also very good, if it wasn't for a good result, how could he have made up his mind, made such a good arrangement, and played such a good start? ”

"The decline is clearly a ...... after a winning streak"

Fang Yunye's voice paused suddenly, Jiang Xian looked at him and said, "Understood? It was precisely because the results of the Feng Shui Bureau were unsatisfactory that he could only make more careful preparations. ”

"It was also because this result was a heart disease that made him stop when he was advancing under the winning streak, and even sent people to negotiate peace with the Qing court."

"When many people study this period of history, they wonder, why did Wu Sangui stop the expedition under the advantage of it? In the end, it can only be pushed to one conclusion - he is old, he has no sharpness, and it is really helpless to be forced to rebel, and he is satisfied to occupy those places. ”

This is indeed a relatively reasonable explanation. But looking at the layout here, I might want to add one-"

"The pattern of angry bullfighting and longevity has not been successful, so he always feels that he will die soon, and it is impossible to successfully overthrow the Qing court."

"This heart disease haunted him, making his little remaining sharpness gradually die."
