Lin Fengjin's first reaction was that Tian Xiangzi's assassins were playing tricks. It seemed that he liked such tricks, but then he thought that this was almost impossible because Tian Xiangzi's assassins were already dead.
...Tian Xiangzi shouldn't be able to find a replacement so quickly. What's more important is that the white mist that appeared at this time can only be described as covering the sky and the sun.
Compared with it, the white mist can only be described as a river to an ocean.
At this time, Xiang Xiong also interrupted his healing and strode out of the tent. He should have considerable knowledge in poisons. He quickly entered the fog and then walked out quickly.
, shook his head and said:
"There is no poison in the fog."
Seeing that the white mist was rising strangely and spreading extremely suddenly and quickly, it was impossible for Lin Fengjin and others to retreat. Although Xiang Xiong judged that it was not poisonous, everyone had two pure hearts stuffed in their nostrils.
The anti-toxic pills were put in, and then everyone gathered in a circular formation, standing back to back, on tight alert.
This white mist quickly submerged Lin Fengjin and the others, but looking at the direction in which they gathered, it was clearly the center of this magnificent long street. Lin Fengjin and the others were waiting in fear in this overwhelming thick fog.
After staying for almost half an hour, the thick fog began to lighten and gradually disappear. However, when Lin Fengjin came to a higher ground and looked over, he suddenly realized that the thick fog was not lightening and disappearing at all, but
There is another mysterious scene that cannot be explained!!
As mentioned before, the splendid street that Lin Fengjin and the others were on at this time directly copied the layout of Xijing Central Avenue. It looked almost lifelike, as if it was poured out of the same mold.
However, even apart from the huge popularity between the two parties, it is not entirely true to say that this street is exactly the same as Central Street to the extent that it is fake and real.
Why do you say this?
It turns out that the Central Street runs through the entire Xijing City and suppresses the existence of luck. With such a street running straight through, there will inevitably be crisscrossing streets, alleys and other intersections on both sides. At this time, the Xiling Street
The main street runs straight through, with no intersections at all.
However, after the heavy fog came in at this time, it gathered at a certain point on the left and right sides of the long street. If you are familiar with Central Street, you can immediately see that the location where the heavy fog gathered happened to be
At each street entrance, the fog was already very dense. After this concentration, it became even more substantial! It formed a very typical vortex state, as if it were strange entrances scattered all over the long street.
both sides of.
And the three huge fonts of "Da Ru Shi" in the center of the street were emitting scorching golden light, almost reaching the sky! There was also a strange buzzing sound in the air, as if it was Sanskrit singing,
It seems to be a resonance from the heart. When you listen carefully, it seems to disappear, but if you relax your mind, you will find that this voice really exists in your mind...
Lin Fengjin casually boarded a nearby restaurant and looked over from a high place. At first, he thought the environment was a bit strange, but suddenly he felt familiar. After careful counting, he noticed the swirling white mist on the street on the left.
There are exactly ten entrances and twelve on the right. My heart suddenly moves. Doesn't this exactly match the numbers of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches?
So speaking of it, each of these huge whirlpools of white mist that seems to be substantial corresponds to the entrance of a certain maze?
After seeing such a strange scene, Lin Fengjin told the people around him about his guess. Whether it was Yan Shixiong or the others, they thought it was very possible, because after arriving here before, the indicator arrow formed on the return box had
As soon as it reached the center of the long street, it started spinning rapidly, shaking dizzyingly. No one knew what this meant specifically. Now it seemed that the entrance was not open at all!
It's just that the True Return Box is now at Xiang Xiong's place, and Xiang Xiong is in retreat at this time. He has clearly said that he hopes not to disturb him, and has also arranged protection, so there is no way to take it out for verification at the moment.
Shixiong was waiting beside him, but he was also impatient. However, he could only watch the twenty-two huge whirlpools of white mist slowly rotating, hoping that Xiangxiong could get out of the confinement as soon as possible.
As a result, things in this world often backfire. This strange scene on the long street only lasted for about half an hour. The white mist disappeared and dissipated. At this time, let’s look at the place covered by it.
I didn't notice any weird phenomena, it really made people feel extraordinarily magical.
It can be said that there is no difference between day and night in this Xiling Mausoleum. Only the light emitted by the strange moss makes the place always have a faint pale feeling. After five hours, Xiang Xiong walked out of the tent.
The deathly paleness on his face has disappeared, but it has been replaced by an obvious bright red color, which is like the abnormal bright red color of a tuberculosis patient after a violent cough. It also doesn't look right.
When Xiang Xiong saw everyone looking at him, he asked in shock:
"What's up?"
When he heard that the previous entrance had appeared, but there was no True Return Box to determine the direction, Xiang Xiong was suddenly agitated and vomited out a mouthful of blood. At that moment, he said to Yanshi Xiong in a mixture of shock and anger:
"Why didn't you call me? How can my minor injury be compared with the king's important event? If I miss the king's important event, I will be torn to pieces."
As he spoke, Xiang Xiong actually shed tears, and in his words, it could be said that he was blaming himself to the best of his ability.
After meeting Lin Fengjin, he could see that Xiang Xiong was very utilitarian. He should be afraid that the plan to seize the seal would fail this time, and he would blame him for not entering in time.
Responsibility. Therefore, I made this gesture in advance to prepare for a rainy day.
Xiang Xiong didn't know that Lin Fengjin was not such a person at all. Of course, his pretentiousness should be for the people in the team to see, because there must be hidden clues buried by Lu Yu among the team.
However, in comparison, Lin Fengjin is naturally much calmer than Xiang Xiong. He believes in the principle that people decide things and God makes things happen. As for things that go wrong, as long as you do your best and live up to the conscience of heaven and earth, that is
. And even if the opportunity was missed because of Xiang Xiong's recuperation, Lin Fengjin would still take responsibility for him, let alone use him as a scapegoat to shirk responsibility.
After Xiang Xiong finished complaining about himself, Lin Fengjin said:
"In fact, according to my speculation, this entrance should appear every few days, at most one or two days. If it appears frequently, it may even appear sooner or later. These mist are not sourceless water.
The tree without roots must have some origins. When we entered Xiling, we entered through the sea called Nayongco. I think this kind of fog is closely related to the high and low tides in Nayongco every morning and night."
"Furthermore, no one had fully recovered at that time. A wise saying is that sharpening a knife does not waste time chopping firewood, so I made an idea at that time. I asked Shixiong not to call you, so that you could rest in peace and recover, so there was no need for Lao Xiang.
Nothing more to say,”
Xiang Xiong naturally heard the all-encompassing and exculpatory meaning in Lin Fengjin's words. His heart suddenly relaxed, and he admired Lin Fengjin's broadmindedness, so he began to ask about the specific situation at that time. Lin Fengjin thought at this time
After thinking about it, he called five Venomous Fangs who had completely recovered their energy and strength to act as bodyguards and accompany him around.
This long ten-mile long street, together with the buildings on both sides, restaurants, warehouses, inns, etc. are all very neatly repaired. It is necessary to see more. Lin Fengjin doesn't know why, but always feels that this magnificent long street in front of him
There is something strange hidden in it, but I just didn't see it.
For safety reasons, Lin Fengjin wandered around the nearby shops. There were no waiters or bosses in these shops, but they were full of decorations and goods. Everything was as old as before, including pastries and food.
Ah, everything is extremely fresh, even the steamed dumplings are steaming with smoke. It gives people the feeling that this long street has been extracted from time out of thin air, so it completely remains the same.
The original appearance when it was separated, not even time left any traces on it!
"This is really strange..." Lin Fengjin mused as he visited one store after another. He seemed to have made some inexplicable discoveries in his mind, but it was still difficult to concrete them for a while. However,
, when he entered a calligraphy and painting shop, he immediately stopped there, as if he was really like that kind of poet, carefully appreciating the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but in the end he shook his head.
However, Lin Fengjin suddenly realized that this calligraphy and painting shop had a back hall, so he quickly walked in and immediately saw a large round table in the back hall. It looked quite messy, with some paste, shredded paper and so on.
It can be said that they are everywhere, and there are some rice papers and other things randomly placed on the round table.
Seeing this back hall, Lin Fengjin's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that the business scope of shops selling calligraphy and painting in this era was not just calligraphy and painting. It was like the main business of a five-star hotel in later generations had nothing to do with wine.
It’s the same truth. Calligraphy and painting shops at this time also had the functions of selling period texts, mounting, repairing, rubbing, and even imitation.
Lin Fengjin rummaged around on the table for a while, and suddenly froze. It took several minutes to regain consciousness. After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although the wild boar accompanying him couldn't tell what Lin Fengjin found.
, but Lin Fengjin felt another sense of relief. As for the other members of the Venomous Fangs, they were just like robots, ruthlessly staying around as security guards, concentrating entirely on safety issues, let alone
We'll see what Lin Fengjin discovered.
After leaving this calligraphy and painting shop, Lin Fengjin had no intention of going for a walk anymore, but went directly back to his tent. Of course, he was alone in the tent, and the wild boar stayed loyally there as usual.
outside the tent.
Lin Fengjin sat down on the camp bed, slipped a roll of paper out of his sleeve, spread it out on the simple coffee table in the tent, and fell into deep thought.
This piece of paper was brought out from his previous calligraphy and painting shop. It was made of fine rice paper. It also had very common pictures of mountain scenery painted on it. There was also a poem beside it:
A day of leisure and leisure,
The harmony of the six gods brings peace,
If there is a treasure in the Dantian, stop searching for it.
Don’t ask about Zen if you don’t have any intention towards the situation.
The artistry of this painting is only average, and whether it is the poem or calligraphy behind it, it can only be said to be barely readable. Maybe for the original author, it is a proud work of painstaking efforts, but for his art and literature
In terms of value, it's really hard to beat.
But what Lin Fengjin was not looking at was the artistry and brushwork of this painting. His eyes were focused on the signature of this painting and calligraphy.
After the party in the evening pavilion, we parted drunkenly, soaked in calligraphy and painting, and enjoyed ourselves heartily.
lonely old man
July of the eleventh year of Zhongjing.
This "Old Man Li" must be the author's self-title, but it's a pity that Lin Fengjin has never heard of it.
However, Lin Fengjin knew the reign name of Zhongjing! That was the reign name of Wei Ming Emperor Qian Xu’s elder, Wei Duanzong! It was three to four hundred years ago!
This painting was sent to a calligraphy and painting shop to be mounted, which means that at least at that time it was not a historical relic, but a new work, so it needed to be mounted before it could be preserved for a long time.
Then it is not difficult to deduce that the Central Street in front of us is actually the recorded grand scene of Central Street three to four hundred years ago. Considering Chen San's previous research and discovery of witch statues, he believes that this is not the last place at all.
It is basically certain that it was built temporarily by Emperor Wei Lie. This mausoleum should have been built three or four hundred years ago. It is a relic left over from the David Dynasty. Emperor Wei Lie probably just borrowed it.
Just here for a moment.
It doesn't matter, Lin Fengjin's most important discovery lies in determining the year name of "Zhongjing".
Why is this the most important discovery?
Because since it is very likely that this place was built during the Zhongjing period, then, such a grand project and it was built near a lake, then it is probably inseparable from the "Zi Xiang Lei" that was in full swing at that time, and
Lin Fengjin also has a series of relevant information obtained from Lei Fan, the last generation head of the Xiang Lei family. If he can find a similar structural diagram, then Lin Fengjin can naturally search for it according to the diagram, saving him an unknown amount of effort!
***
Next, Lin Fengjin stayed in his tent for a while, then hurriedly walked out without anyone accompanying him. He walked directly into the nearest shop, then half-knelt on the ground and started digging with a shovel.
When the ground was excavated to a depth of about half a meter, it was discovered that everything underneath was made of large green bricks made of the same color.
Lin Fengjin grabbed a piece of blue brick and looked at it, and saw the pattern of a five-clawed golden dragon engraved on the back of the brick. He was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said with a bitter smile:
"Damn it, I should have thought of it when I saw this long street. It is obviously the Tianjie recorded in the history books. This is not a imperial mausoleum at all. This is an out-and-out imperial mausoleum!!"
It turns out that Lin Fengjin had seen it before when he was studying history. It was said that a certain emperor of the Davidic Dynasty often fell ill in his early years and almost died several times. Therefore, as soon as he gained power, he "sought immortality". To put it bluntly,
He was just afraid of death, so he started taking various elixirs when he was twenty years old, and then sent people overseas to seek the elixir of death.
Needless to say, this emperor must have died very quickly. He was already very weak from the time he came to power at the age of fifteen, and he died at the age of twenty-seven. He is particularly famous in history books.
When I was fourteen years old, I had already been rescued from the brink of death several times.
But what is supposed to come will always come. Fortunately, the advantage of the emperor's weak body is that everyone knows that he will not last long, so he can repair the tomb after death in advance. This Wei Xuanzong has a big hobby, that is, he likes
Lively and crowded, especially Central Street, the busiest street in Zhongdu. He often goes out to visit privately incognito. He doesn't know how happy he is to mingle among the lively crowd, because he feels that there are many people and he is full of yang, so he doesn't dare to ask for help.
This central street has been expanded and renovated many times and has become extremely prosperous. It is even called the No. 1 Street in the World.
Because of this, when the tomb was being built, Wei Xuanzong strongly requested that such a long street be built inside his tomb so that he would not be lonely after his death and could always enjoy his favorite scenery.
At this point, we have to talk about the political system of the Davidic Dynasty, which was a multi-person cabinet system. Although it also restricted the king in many ways, it also ensured that even if the emperor was fatuous, he could still maximize his power.
Correcting the damage to the country. The emperor does have the final right to make decisions and choices, but most state affairs are reviewed and approved by a group of cabinet ministers before being submitted to him. This is equivalent to having
This restricted the emperor's willfulness to a great extent.
For example, if there is a murder case with solid evidence, without institutional restraint, the fatuous emperor may acquit the murderer. However, in the report submitted by the cabinet, the emperor is likely to be hanged, or beheaded. The emperor also
You can only choose how to let the murderer die.
For another example, if it is a major military matter and the cabinet discusses it and thinks it can be fought, then the choice given to the king is to choose whether to send troops on the first day of the month or the tenth day of the month...
Of course, it is not ruled out that the emperor also has his own opinions and is unwilling to make multiple choice questions. He has to make his own decisions. As long as it is not a big deal, he will often give some face and go along with him. But once it is a very clear big deal, it will often be rejected by the cabinet.
The refutation was carried out by the gishizhong ------- However, in order to maintain the authority of the king, after three refutations and three refutations, the guishizhong automatically resigned and could never serve as an official, so he decided to be cautious in doing this.
.
If done in this way, although the emperors of later generations will appear to be a bit cowardly, once the power is divided among all the hands of the cabinet, it will almost eliminate the possibility of rebellion by the powerful ministers. And with such discussion, the state affairs will be handled by a group of old fritters.
It is probably much better than relying on the decision-making made by a certain king. It is an unbreakable principle that three cobblers can compete with Zhuge Liang.
Wei Xuanzong's request was naturally approved by the cabinet, because at that time the David Dynasty was extremely powerful and could withstand the ruin of the family, so they tried every means to meet his request. It is recorded in the history books that it was Wei Xuanzong's bedchamber.
There is an ingenious "Sky Street" inside the mausoleum. It is said that after Wei Xuanzong was buried, many people dreamed that he walked from the starting point of the Sky Street to the end, and then went up to the sky with a smile.
***
At this time, since Lin Fengjin found out the real owner here, of course he understood: the so-called Xiling Mausoleum here was made by Emperor Wei Lie who renovated Wei Xuanzong's tomb and made it out of ready-made stuff.
of.
Although this sounds a bit disrespectful to the elders, there are actually a lot of dirty things in the Tian family. Anyway, the relationship between Wei Xuanzong and Wei Lie Emperor can be said to be almost far away. The two of them really met.
If you don’t eat it, you might even have to pinch it to death!
Why do you say that? That’s because the inheritance of the imperial throne can be said to be soaked in blood. Wei Xuanzong was not very glorious when he came to power. He relied on his own mother’s power in the palace and took advantage of the change of throne.
, snatched the throne from his uncle and brother, Prince Hong.
Needless to say, as soon as this guy came to the throne, he would kill Prince Hong's entire family, including his descendants, without leaving any further trouble.
Wei Xuanzong probably suffered retribution after his death. He originally ascended the throne and wanted to pass it on to his three-year-old son. However, when he died, it was very sudden. It also coincided with a grand ceremony that happened only once in sixty years. The entire royal family gathered in the capital.
At that moment, the whole country was in turmoil, and everyone was jealous of the throne. It can be said that the entire capital was in chaos and turmoil.
As a result, at this time, a clan member named Qian Yue was ambitious and made a desperate move. His father-in-law was the admiral of the Nine Sects at the time, and he colluded with the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army who was destined to be marginalized at the time, and did a very immoral thing.
!!
He deployed troops to block the city gate and simply killed all the royal men with royal blood in the capital. In this case, he was the only one qualified to sit in that position. In this way, the cabinet
The ministers looked at each other in confusion and could only hold their noses in recognition. No matter how disgusting this thing was, it just stopped the mouths of those generals who wanted to raise troops to "King Qin".
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Wei Lie Emperor Qian Shen has no respect for Xuanzong's tomb - Qian Shen's ancestor Qian Yue killed Xuanzong's children, brothers and relatives.
Those who are clean are almost extinct, and only his own seedling remains. It is not difficult to deduce that when Xuanzong met Qian Yue, the ancestor of Emperor Wei Lie, he would definitely strangle him to death. (To be continued...)
