53. Ming Pai

I rushed over and grabbed it from her hand. This should be the life card of people in the Qing Dynasty. The life card is what we now call the resident ID card. The life cards at that time were also divided into three, six or nine grades, and they were all issued by the court.

Ordinary people are only made of ash wood, people with a little bit of fame are made of teak, and noble court officials are made of cypress, yew, red pine, cherry wood... And the fortune board in my hand is made of what I see.

It exceeds the highest standard. From its fragrance and texture, you can judge that it is made of the best dark wood. Dark wood, also called ebony, is known as the "Oriental Sacred Wood" and "Plant Mummy". It is made from ancient plants after earthquakes.

, buried under the ground by floods for hundreds of millions of years, ebony has been used as a ward off evil spirits throughout the ages. The ancients said: "Half a square of ebony at home is worth a box of treasures." This shows the identity of the owner of this life card.

The most prominent ones are either the feudal officials or the relatives of the emperor.

Life cards are usually engraved with a person's name, business name, date of birth, ancestral home, official rank... But this life card is entirely in Manchu, and I can't understand it even if I want to read it.

Nan Haiyue pinched her waist and said softly, "You pretend to understand even if you don't understand. Do you want to know the content above? Bring it here!"

"Aren't you Korean? How do you understand Manchu?" I handed it to her and said.

She didn't answer me, and then talked about the contents of this life tablet.

The owner of the fortune card is named Zuo Nomu, a male, a descendant of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Zuodutong of the Zhenglan Banner, born in 1601.

I frowned. Logically speaking, those who can use gloomy wood as fortune cards must be relatives of the emperor, but the name of Sonomu is very unfamiliar to me, and I don't know who it is.

Nan Haiyue was right, he was indeed a relative of the emperor. Sonomu was the son-in-law of Mang Gurtai, and this Mang Gurtai was the fifth son of Nurhaci, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty.

Yong, was once a strong contender for the throne. His son-in-law status is naturally prominent, and it is worthy of this expensive gloomy wood as a fortune stone.

If Sonomu doesn't just be his royal brother-in-law, what are you doing here with a large group of people? It must have been sent by Mang Gurtai. If this secret tunnel was also dug by Nurhachi's order, then

There is definitely a huge secret hidden in this. Since ancient times, kings would only keep these huge secrets until their deathbed and entrust them to the crown prince who is about to succeed. After the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji succeeded him, but how could this secret passage be revealed by reckless people?

What does Gurtai know? How could Mang Gurtai go against common sense and let his son-in-law Sonomu enter this secret passage? Isn’t he afraid of the punishment of his emperor’s spirit in heaven? I think there is only one reason. Something must have happened to Mang.

Gurtai was completely desperate and fell out with the entire royal family, and there was something he needed under the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein.

The mouse said: "This Sonomu is a bastard. He brought in so many people and could move these four bottles of gold mythical beasts away. Why would he have to work hard for his father-in-law? Take a look, such a heavy statue is made of pure gold.

Yeah! How much is it worth?"

There are a few oil lamps hung occasionally on the walls of the main hall. Although it has been hundreds of years, there is still lamp oil inside. Nan Haiyue tried to light one, and the oil lamp lit up slowly. I once heard that in the palace of princes and generals,

The oil in the lamps in the tombs is all fish oil. Fish oil is not easy to evaporate and is flammable. Maybe the oil here is all fish oil.
