Chapter 241

Li Ke hid behind several guards and pulled Qin mubai to accompany him. Looking at the five step vipers killed by the guards, his face was a little pale, and he kept breathing cold air. He was really scared.

Zhao Chong glanced back at him with a sneer.

Li Ke was a little annoyed and said, "what are you laughing at? Have you heard of Yuchi Jingde? "

Zhao Chong turned around with great interest and asked, "of course I've heard about it. It's like thunder in my ears! He is a hero as famous as general Qin's father. "

"Well! Yuchi Jingde is afraid of dogs. Have you never heard of that? " Li Ke snorted, "what's so strange about a fierce general who kills people like that in a vertical model battlefield, when he sees a dog, his legs are all weak, and sometimes he is chased by a dog and cries for his father and mother. I'm afraid of snakes?"

"Did I say it was strange? It's really a self accusation. " Zhao Chong laughed a few times, and Shi ran walked forward.

Li Ke rolled his eyes angrily and said to Qin mubai, "mubai, this Sisha is hateful!"

"Ha ha, don't let a little thing spoil your interest in adventure. Let's go!" Qin Mu Bai ha ha bolt in the past, but the heart: it seems that Li Ke Ting hate people holding his little whip to say things. In fact, this is just human nature, no one likes to be found weaknesses and defects, and openly put out jokes. In particular, Li Ke, a person of high status, loves face more and hates being teased in public.

"Well, I don't see eye to eye with him. Let's go and start the treasure hunt Li Ke is also magnanimous, rubbed hand exhibition Yan's smile way. "Where to start digging?"

Qin mubai bent down to pick up a stone and smashed it on the ground. The ground was very hard.

"How do you dig this?" Standing up and clapping his hands, Qin Mu Bai shook his head.

"What about that?" Li Ke is also worried.

Zhao Chong came forward and said, "general Qin, there are dozens of acres of land around here. Can you confirm where it is? If you can be sure, even if Yu Gong moves the mountain, he will have a hope. "

"Yes, the location first." So did Li Ke. They look at each other. They turned their mouths and looked away.

Qin mubai took out a detailed map for reference. Unfortunately, this map only depicts the distribution of the waterways in the western channel, without a detailed description of the location of the treasure. Those short poems, like sponges, are about to be wrung dry by Qin mubai. I really can't think of anything worth exploring.

"Such a big stone mountain is full of weeds and poisonous snakes. There's nothing special about it. I can't think of a clue for a moment. " Qin mubai also shook his head.

"So that's it?" Li Ke couldn't help but feel disappointed and said, "otherwise, if we look around again, we may find something like mechanism and entrance?"

"OK, let's look separately. We must pay attention to safety and sprinkle more realgar to prevent poisonous snakes!" Qin mubai said.

"General Qin, I'm with you. So that no one will worry that I will run away. " Zhao Chong said.

Qin mubai laughed: "good. Let's look for it separately. "

The people searched separately. It took a long time to search for the area of tens of mu, but still no trace was found.

Everyone got together again and shook their heads.

The whole stone mountain is like a big stone, not to mention the entrance of the mechanism. There is no cave, and even poisonous snakes only inhabit in the crevices.

"Ah, it seems that I am destined to solve this mystery left by my ancestors." Zhao Chong regretted his head and said to Qin Mu, "general Qin, I have to ask you to spend more time to solve this secret. Even if you don't see the results before you die, it's enough to be happy to hear the good news in the spring a few years after you die. "

"Don't be discouraged. Maybe there will be a surprise when?" Qin mubai can only comfort him so much.

"Strange to say, there are no trees in this place, only some weeds. It's like it's all made up of huge stones. " Li Ke said, "I've never seen a hill like this before. There's no soil. It's all stone. Mubai, don't you think it's strange? "

"It's a little strange." Qin mubai said, "the west river channel is full of swamp sludge, but here it is full of stones, which is very different. If a large number of treasures are to be buried, how hard will it take to dig a hole? "

Li Ke shook his head: "even if you know that there are countless treasures buried under it, you can't take it out. Is it hard for Yugong to move mountains? I'm not that busy. Maybe there will be nothing at the end of the excavation. It will be depressing to death. "

"Ha ha, that's true." Qin Mu Bai said so in his mouth, but he said in his heart: I don't care about treasures. It's better if I have them, but it doesn't matter if I don't have them. I kind of enjoyed the puzzle solving process. That's the difference between him and me. Li Ke is obviously more pragmatic and practical, and I'm more playful and casual.

"General Qin, won't you just give up?" Zhao Chong said hastily, "maybe there are countless treasures buried below. Just take them out, and you will be as rich as your country!"Qin mubai smiles and waves his hand to show him not to worry. He stands on a stone and looks around. Gradually, his face became a little quiet and grim.

"What's the matter?" They all asked.

"Nothing." Qin mubai laughed casually and said, "it's too late. If you don't go any further, there will be fog in the river, so it's not convenient to sail. That's all for today. Let's go back first! "

Li Ke knew that he had something to say, probably because there were too many people present, so he didn't ask. He waved his hand and said, "OK, go back first!"

Only Zhao Chong was disappointed.

All the way back to the assassin's Mansion by boat, Zhao Chong is still in prison, waiting for tomorrow to go to the capital. Li Ke catches Qin mubai and asks him to have dinner with him. When the wine and food were just set up, he quickly turned away the others and asked, "did you just have something to say?"

"Yes." Qin mubai did not deny it and nodded. "There are so many people and so many eyes that you can't say something casually."

"What did you find, so serious?" Li Ke was curious and asked.

Qin Mu Bai twisted his head and moved the dishes, bowls and chopsticks on the table for a while. He said, "Your Highness, come and see."

"Well, what?"

, like this steamed fish, we are on the stone slope, which is the river around us. This is the mound of the Wutong tree not far away, which is the other side of the mound, which is larger and taller than the Wutong Mountain. It's like this, isn't it? " Qin mubai said.

Li Ke looked at it carefully for a while and said, "it should be right! You know, I'm not good at memorizing roads. But if you say yes, it must be. You showed a rare surprise at that time, and you should remember that. "

"In fact, I'm a half pot. I can only speculate." Qin Mu Bai stares at table a few, say like soliloquy.

"What half pot, guess what?"

"Feng Shui!"

"Feng Shui? Do you know that? " Li Ke was surprised.

"I can only say that I know a little bit. Many of Li Jing's military theories are about Yin Yang and five elements, strange ways to escape, weather, hydrology and earth. They are profound and difficult to understand. I didn't read for a long time. Although I repeatedly consulted him many times, I didn't care much. " Qin mubai said, "but, in front of this pair of landform hydrology, but let me feel very surprised!"

"Tell me what it is Li Ke asked.

, "you see -" Qin Mu Bai pointed to the table, and said, "the West Wutong Mountain is a support for the mountain, and it corresponds to the" Xishan Phoenix ". The east side of the Gao Kong Gang reed slope is the dragon dragon throne, not the jade well dragon. Xishanfeng and yujinglong face each other day and night. Shizi mountain is located in the middle of them. Therefore, the treasure can be determined here. Let me understand this for a moment. The homonym of the following two sentences is "look to the west, three lines inside", which means that there is a number from west to East, the third bend facing Shizi mountain - that is, here! "

After that, Qin mubai knocked his knuckles heavily on one side of the steamed fish plate.

Li Ke's eyes widened in surprise: "it's reasonable, it seems that it should be right - then why didn't you just point out the explanation?"

"I can't say." Qin Mu Bai's face became more severe.

"Why?" Li Ke asks in surprise.

"Because..." Qin mubai took a deep breath. "The landscape here is extraordinary! The western Wutong Mountain, the stone hill and the reed slope should be united. If it wasn't for the flood season, it should be obvious. Maybe many years ago, there was no river bend here, but because of the change of water level of the Han River, it was submerged here. in other words. These three slopes may be three rolling mountains. "

"What does that mean?"

Qin Mu Bai's face sank and said, "Your Highness, haven't you thought of it yet? It's both dragon and Phoenix. Isn't it something that ordinary people should mention? What's more, the three mountains facing north and south, with their treasures buried in the middle, are they common? "

"You mean!..." Li Ke was also surprised. He lowered his voice and said, "this is the imperial mausoleum!"

"Isn't it?" Qin mubai. "The Wutong Mountain is the tail, the Phoenix is Yin, the dragon is the rear; the reed slope is headed by the dragon head; the middle runs through the stone slope, plus the" mountain ring water winding, negative Yin holding Yang ", is it a dragon vein of" harmony between man and nature "?

"That's true!" Li Ke's eyes widened in amazement. "I said I said that there are no trees on this Shizi mountain, only snakes, because there are dragons. The grass and the trees fail. Snake is dragon shaped, so it is popular Mubai, how can I suddenly have a sense of fear? "

"Now you see, how did I suddenly look like that?" Qin mubai said.

"I see..." Li Ke's expression became dignified, and he said in a low voice, "now in the Tang Dynasty, who dares to be so rebellious and unruly in our Li family, and build a dragon mausoleum here. Isn't this to spoil me?! Mubai, is This time, we have a bigger problem? ""It's hard to say whether it's wealth or disaster." Qin mubai said, "this map is left by Zhao Chong's grandfather. Maybe his grandfather doesn't know why, and is only responsible for passing it on to future generations. It's a pity that the old man didn't catch his breath before he died. I forgot to leave what I had to say. Now, unless we get what's under the stone slope, we'll never know what's under it. But as far as I guess, the things below should at least not belong to this dynasty. "

"It makes sense." Li Ke nodded and said, "it's only 12 years since my father emperor ascended the throne, and it's only 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. But this drawing has been handed down by Zhao Chong and his father for three generations. At least for more than 20 years. In this way, we should be able to rule out the evil intentions of some people, and the intention of gathering Dragon Spirit in private here is not right? "

"It should be." Qin mubai nods and smiles.

Li Ke wiped a cold sweat: "then I can rest assured. Otherwise Such a big thing happened in Xiangzhou. I'm afraid I can't afford it. But then again, the dragon spirit is the property of the Li family. How can anyone else absorb it? I didn't say that. Anyway, I have to get the things under the stone slope out! At all costs! "

"It's better to be quiet at first. Don't disturb too many people. It's not too late to report the matter to the imperial court. " Qin mubai said.

"I agree." Li Ke nodded deeply, "it's just the two of us who know about it and make it known in secret. I'm not interested in finding any treasure now. Now, compared with the Tang Dynasty, the gold, silver and jewelry are not worth mentioning. Mubai, it's all up to you. I don't know about wind, weather and hydrology. But when you say that, I think of coming. The royal mausoleum has such a custom. In this way, it is very possible that the place is a mausoleum for emperors. No matter what secret is down there, we must dig it out! "

Qin Mu nodded, then pointed to the edge of the fish basin he hit with his knuckles, and said, "the emperor's Mausoleum faces south. The entrance is also a little more special than the general mausoleum, which is generally heavily guarded against theft. Since the ancestral drawings of the Zhao family allude to this place, I guess. It's very likely that this is the entrance. "

"I didn't say that. Send troops to dig! He planed for ten days, half a month or even half a year, and I will planed out the exit as well! " Li Ke's resolute way.

"Don't do it. Such a toss, not all Xiangzhou know, the whole world has passed Qin Mu Bai shook his head. "If you don't do it, you have to do it quickly."

"What about that?" Li Ke's face was embarrassed, "is it difficult to pray for God to send a yellow scarf warrior, just like helping Yugong. And break a mountain pass for you? "

"Not at all. He is too busy to bother him. " Qin Mu Bai smiles and says, "I do it myself."

"You?" Li Ke was stunned at first, and then laughed again, "the surprise you have given me is enough, so don't make fun of me any more."

"Ha ha, believe me, no problem." Qin mubai laughed.

"What do you want to do?"

"The old rules. I'll give you some more information. How about eating first now? I'm really hungry

"Well, eat! ——Please do it all! "

That night, Qin mubai went to sleep in the governor's mansion and had a full night's rest. In the early morning of the next day, he took several local yamen servants to xiangyanggang city.

"If the general came here early in the morning, would he buy something? If necessary. Just order us servants. " All yamen said.

"I'll come out and have a look. Because the ground is not familiar, so I look for you to be my guide. " Qin mubai said casually, "by the way, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Does Xiangzhou have the custom of dragon boat racing?"

"Yes! It's not as lively as the one over there, but it's pretty good. " Yamen replied.

"The palace must have prepared some dragon boats for the competition, right?" Qin mubai said again.

"Yes When the Yamen officers talked about this, they all burst into laughter and said, "we are still target hands!"

"Target hand?"

"It's a rowing Dragon Boat sailor. We used to say that!" The Yamen servants said with a smile.

"Ha ha!" Qin mubai laughed and said, "I heard that dragon boat rowing is not only a hard work, but also a skill. First of all, we have to work together. We can't make a mistake in pace, otherwise we will be in a mess. By the way, should firecrackers be hung on dragon boats? How about the firecrackers in Xiangzhou? "

"Oh, we call it" firecrackers "here. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many firecrackers for sale." The Yamen answered.

"Miner? That's right. " Qin Mu Bai grinned and said: Although gunpowder was invented in the Tang Dynasty, it was not used in military. It was only used to make fireworks and firecrackers, but it was not very popular. At least Qin Mu Bai had been in Xiangzhou for so long, and he didn't see any firecrackers or such special shops. Chang'an is quite common.

Occasionally, the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty was used for mining. But the power is not big, the smoke is also very black, so it is also called black powder.The people of the Tang Dynasty can't make high-purity and powerful explosives. Isn't Qin mubai good enough? Otherwise, how many years of national defense engineering have been wasted?

"I can't make airplanes and cannons, I can't make glass and cement. It's always OK to mix explosives in time." Qin mubai laughed to himself and said, "take me to buy some firecrackers. Dragon Boat Festival, I'm ready to join in the fun. Don't take the dragon boat as a target. I'll cheer you on! "

"Good!" The Yamen servants said with a smile, "there are no firecrackers in the Hong Kong market, because they are rarely used and they are expensive. Most people can't afford to use them. Most of the mines run by the government have more of these things to help mining. Only during the solar term do they make some firecrackers at the same time. "

"What are you waiting for? Find a mine!" Qin Mu Bai ordered the way.

"Eh?" The Yamen servants were surprised and said, "general, just a few strings of firecrackers. Do you need to go to the mine? Let the villain go and get it. Waving the whip and going back, clapping the horse is the best way to make tea. "

"Then you don't understand." Qin mubai laughed a little unpredictable and said, "stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

"Yes

They also rented a carriage and went to an iron mine in the suburbs. The copper and iron in the Tang Dynasty were strictly controlled by the government. It's a pity that Qin mubai was such a person. Otherwise, the mine would not be the place where he said he could enter?

"General, are you here for something else?" On the way, a yamen servant finally couldn't help asking.

Qin mubai waved his hand and said nothing. Naturally, the man did not dare to ask again. But Qin mubai thought: of course, there is something important. It's hard to make bricks without rice. To make explosives, there must be raw materials and tools. It's better to have a few experienced miners to help, because the "inventor" is just rich in theoretical knowledge.

There are only mines here!
