Chapter 226: The Storm is Coming

In the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the first capital of the Jin Kingdom, there is a Taoist temple called the Jade Emperor Pavilion, which is one of the seven temples of the Jin Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In the backyard of this Taoist temple, there is a small four-corner pavilion, surrounded by osmanthus trees. When the flowers are full of branches, people sit in the pavilion, the fragrance is fragrant, and people are drunk and drunk, so this pavilion is named "Incense Pavilion" by Nurhachi.

At this moment, there are two old men sitting in the middle of the incense pavilion, one green and one red, concentrating on a wooden chessboard.

The old man in red was superb in chess, and when he was about to win, the old man in the green robe flicked his sleeves on the ground, and the plate full of black and white was messed up, and then he said loudly: "No! It's too unfair to bet on winning or losing with this thing!"

The old man in red shook his head and said, "Drag, you are also a master-level figure, why do you still deny it like a gangster?!"

The old man in the green robe was tall and strong, and he was the national teacher of the Jin Kingdom and the Grand Master of the Baishan Sect, and he snorted coldly and said: "Since the Great Khan sent me here at this moment, he wants me to preside over the overall situation, there is no doubt about this, why should I rely on a game of Go to decide!"

The old man in red said lightly: "You are in charge of the overall situation?!Do you know how many soldiers there are here and what plans you have?!The old man has been entrusted by the Great Khan for many years to preside over the security and protection of Hetuala, and all the guards and soldiers and guards here are under my control, and all the secret organs, gold and silver treasures and other top secrets are in my heart, you can tell me, who is more qualified to call the shots?"

After hearing this, Archmage Drager angrily turned around the pavilion a few times, before he sat back on the stone bench and said coldly: "Okay, Wumai, I won't fight with you this time, I hope you have to plan well this time, don't make a mistake when the time comes, let the old man see the joke!"

The old man in red is another national teacher of the Jin Kingdom, the Zoroastrian Archmage Wumai.

Since Nurhachi began to declare war on the Ming Dynasty and conquered the city, Archmage Dragh has taken the Baishan Shaman to follow the Great Khan, while Archmage Umai has been entrusted to be stationed in the old camp of Hetuala, guarding the base camp of the Jin Kingdom and the dragon vein treasures of the Jurchen people. Although the two national teachers belong to shamanism, but they are not the same, the two factions of the mountain worship and Zoroastrianism have been fighting openly and secretly, wanting to obtain a higher status and resources in the Jin country, as the boss-level figures of the two factions, the relationship between Drager and the Wumai national teacher will naturally not be much better, although they are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they are eager to pull each other off the horse, so that they can enjoy the honor alone.

Archmage Wumai is thin and tall, with three strands of long hair fluttering on his chest, looking like a fairy wind and bones, listening to Archmage Drag's words, he just smiled slightly and said: "Since the Great Khan sent you here, although it is not dominated by you this time, but once Hetuara makes a mistake, I will naturally be to blame, and you will not be able to get rid of it when the time comes!"

Archmage Drager said angrily: "You old fox, you are still so good at calculating, the old man really regrets this trip!"

Archmage Wumai laughed and said, "Drage, you don't have to be so angry, let's take a sip of tea and rest first! Actually, think about it differently, if the two of us can work together this time to destroy the Mongols' plan to seize the scriptures, you will naturally have a share of the credit!"

Archmage Drager thought about it, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and slowly calmed down, but after thinking about it, he frowned again and said: "Wumai, things are not as simple as you think, this time I came to Hetuala, in addition to the Mongolian national teacher Shalhutuktu, there may be other strong enemies, and the number of victories and defeats is not yet known!"

Archmage Wumai said: "Oh, there are still strong enemies, and those who can be called strong enemies by your drager should not be idle people, let's hear it!"

Archmage Dragg said: "Daming Jinyi Wei master, I have fought with him in Liaoyang, the martial arts are superb, I can't match it, it is estimated that Luo Sigong is here in person!"

After hearing this, Archmage Wumai's face changed rarely, and he exclaimed, "Luo Sigong?!"

Archmage Drager nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, it should be him! It's just that first, it's not sure if he'll come to Hetuala, and second, I don't know how many good people he has brought with him!"

Archmage Wumai thought for a while, regained his calm appearance and said: "Luo Sigong, en, the number one master of the Ming Imperial Court, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is famous!

Archmage Dragg looked at Archmage Umai thoughtfully, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that you still have some powerful means hidden!"

Archmage Wumai laughed and said, "You don't need to ask more about this, when the time comes, I will tell you!"

Archmage Drager snorted coldly, shook his head, and said, "Okay, I hope that as you said, I can catch them all." I really don't want to hear those secrets, I can be at ease, I don't have to worry about it, why don't I do it!"

Archmage Wumai knew that he was talking angrily, and he didn't bother to respond, just leisurely sipping the fragrant hot tea.

"Hetuala" is a Manchu language, and the Chinese means Henggang, that is, a flat-topped hill. It is known as "the first capital of the Qing Dynasty" in the historical circles, is the political, economic, military, cultural and diplomatic center of the Jin Kingdom, is regarded as the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, the cradle of the rise of the Manchus, and is also the last mountain city in Chinese history. Two years later, the outer city was renovated. The circumference of the inner city and the outer city is 4.5 kilometers, and outside the north gate of the outer city, blacksmiths and archers live in the subdivision. It was built by the Qing Taizu Nurhachi.

The city is built on a hill in an east-west direction according to the situation, the cliff is grand, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain of the city is high in the south and low in the north, and there are high walls built around it. The whole city area is not large, divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and the city wall is made of earth, stone, and wood. The inner city is inhabited by Nurhachi and his relatives in Friday, and the outer city is ten miles in circumference, where the elite soldiers and the Eight Banners garrison are located. There are nine gates in ten miles around the city, namely the south three gates, the north three gates, the east two gates, and the west gate, and outside the north gate of the outer city, the blacksmith and the bow smith live in the partition.

On the first day of the first month of the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616), Nurhachi "called me in yellow clothes" here and established the Dajin regime. In the eighth year of Jin Tiancong (1634), he was called "Tianjun Xingjing" by Huang Taijizun.

Since the Jin State moved its capital to Liaoyang, except for the inner city that is still heavily guarded, the outer city has been opened to the local Jurchen people, and the original place of the Eight Banners garrison has become a place where the people live and do business.

Gao Jie arrived at Hetuara in the early afternoon, and found a nice inn to stay in the outer city, while Archmage Doroji and Mara said goodbye to Gao Jie, saying that they were going to the primeval forest to look for herbs.

In the evening, the Mongolian national teacher, Grand Lama Shahr and Ututhaiji, quietly came to the door again.

In the guest room of Luo Sigong and Venerable Zongqing, the fat-headed and big-eared Sha'er Grand Lama looked like a Maitreya Buddha, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Luo Sigong smiled and asked, "Master is in a good mood, it seems that there is good news to bring me?"

The Great Lama of Sha'er took off his felt hat, touched his bare head, and said with a smile: "Lord Luo has good eyesight, Lao Gao originally wanted to sell a pass and give everyone a surprise, it's a pity!"

Gao Jie said on the side: "The master is smiling like a flower, don't talk about my uncle, even the kid can see that you are happy!"

Grand Lama Sha'er said embarrassedly: "This is enough to show that the old man's concentration and cultivation are not enough, and everyone laughs!"

Luo Sigong waved his hand and said: "The master is a master, and he is happy in front of us, which just proves that you have regarded us as your own people!"

Sha'er Grand Lama Zhengse said: "Of course, since it is not easy to invite Lord Luo and other masters from the Central Plains to help, naturally we should be honest and work together!"

Bintu Taiji also spoke up: "Yes, this time, my Mongol Empire is very grateful to the Ming Dynasty for appointing Lord Luo and other masters to come to Hetuara to help me seize the Kangyur Bible. It's just that since everyone wants to cooperate, there must be plans and rules, so I also hope that you can follow our arrangement, work together, complete the task, and evacuate successfully as soon as possible!"

Luo Sigong didn't mind the arrogance brought out in the words of the Tu, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Tu Taiji, you are the master, we are the auxiliary, and we will obey the order!"

Grand Lama Sha'er said with a smile: "Lord Luo is such a master, he has his own measure, Taiji doesn't need to say much. The good news I bring is that the location of the Jurchens hiding in the Kangyur has been discovered!"

"Oh?" Luo Sigong said: "I found out so quickly, the master's subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

When the Grand Lama Sha'er heard this, he touched his bald head again with great affection, and continued: "When I was in Shenyang before, I said that I had already sent my second disciple Dawhara to Hetuala, and began to explore the place where the scriptures were hidden in advance. Happily, he has lived up to his mission and has already borne fruit this morning. ”

Gao Jie said: "In this way, we don't have to openly rob it at the annual sacrifice ceremony of Guandi Temple, right?"

Jin Tu glanced at Gao Jie contemptuously and said, "That's right, Hou Ye Gao doesn't have to worry about it now, you can rest assured!"

The Great Lama of Sha'er knew that there was something wrong with Gao Jie, and was about to stop him from continuing, but he heard Gao Jie laugh and said: "What Taiji said is, of course I am much more relieved, could it be that Taiji doesn't think it's exciting enough to steal the scriptures, and wants to rob it openly?"

Zhentu said angrily: "You think I'm stupid?"

Gao Jie showed a sly smile and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't think it was, it was meant to be!"

Knowing that there were no good words in his mouth, he shouted and asked, "What did you say?!"

Grand Lama Sha'er's original joy was made so much by the fuss of the plan, and he suddenly became depressed, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Taiji, let's talk about business now, don't talk about anything else, okay?!"

Although he was the younger brother of Lin Dan Khan, he was one of the ten sumu of the iron lance Konot, and his status was respected, but he did not dare to refute the words of the Great Lama Shahr. Because he deeply knows that if the eldest brother Lin Dan Khan wants to unify the Mongolian tribes, he will never be able to do it without the support of Tibetan Buddhism, and the national teacher in front of him is the most critical figure among them. Therefore, when the Great Lama Sha'er said that, he immediately turned his head and stopped paying attention to Gao Jie.

Luo Sigong was amused in his heart, but he said calmly as usual on the surface: "So, where is the place where the scriptures are hidden?"

Grand Lama Sha'er said, "Lord Luo, have you heard of the Seven Jurchen Temples of Hetuala?"

Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know, please teach the master!"

Grand Lama Shahr said: "It is said that when Hetuala was still the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Nurhachi had built seven temples and ancestral halls here, including the Taoist Xianyou Palace, the Buddhist Pujue Temple, and the Confucian Confucian Confucian Temple and Liu Gong Temple, etc., covering the Central Plains Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, which can be glimpsed of its ambition to covet the Ming Dynasty!"

Gao Jie said: "Could it be that the place where the scriptures are hidden is in one of the seven temples or ancestral halls?"

Grand Lama Sha'er nodded and said, "What the Marquis of Zhongyong said is extremely true, it is in the Pujue Temple!"
