Chapter 1409 Kunlun
Wu Nanming said slowly, "Suiye City is one of the four famous Anxi towns in the Tang Dynasty. It used to be an important political and military center in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Its superior natural conditions are suitable for farming and animal husbandry. However, due to The Qing Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, and it was occupied by Tsarist Russia after 1864. I have done some research, and its former site should be 8 kilometers southwest of Tokmok City in Kyrgyzstan.”

"Overseas?" Fan Jiannan said in amazement, "You mean that Suiye City is now a foreign territory?"

"The world is changing, and the sea is changing, so what's so strange about it. At that time, was the land that China was forced to cede relatively small?" Wu Nanming said with a sigh.

"Are we going to Kyrgyzstan?" Fan Jiannan asked with a wry smile. "Do you really think that you can find gold seals and jade letters there?"

"We're not going to Suiye City, but to another place." Wu Nanming looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "The legendary Kunlun."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Whether this Kunlun is a legend or there is such a place, there is no conclusion yet, right?"

Wu Nanming turned to Fatty Zhang and said, "You have more knowledge of Taoism, so you should talk about it."

"Kunlun, according to many Taoist classics, it should refer to a certain mountain range in the Tianshan Mountains. But I don't know which one it is." Fatty Zhang rubbed his head embarrassedly.

Wu Nanming said slowly, "In fact, it is mentioned in many Taoist classics that Kunlun Mountain probably refers to Tianshan Mountain. First of all, it is located in the west. The main river of Tianshan Mountain, Chu River, is a river in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Yecheng also got its name from this. So it is most likely to be the Baiyujing in the sky that Li Bai said. Specifically, I prefer Bogda Peak in the Tianshan Mountains."

"Why, is there anything special about this Bogda Peak?" Fatty Zhang asked.

"That is a famous peak in the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains. Among the many main peaks in the Tianshan Mountains, Bogda is not the highest, and its altitude can only rank third, but its reputation is far above all other peaks. For a long time, in In the minds of all ethnic groups in the west, Bogda is the most divine mountain, and it has always been worshiped as the house of gods and the source of purple energy." Wu Nanming said.

"So famous?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"The word Bogda comes from the Mongolian language, which means gods. Some nomadic peoples in the ancient Western Regions had the custom of worshiping famous mountains. Because Bogda Mountain is tall and steep, it is called "Sacred Mountain" by these peoples." "Zu Feng", riders get off their horses when they see it, pedestrians kowtow when they see it, and even officials passing by here have to stop and bow down.

In some Taoist classics, Bogda Mountain has always been regarded as the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, so Bogda has naturally become a sacred mountain of Taoism. It is located in the Tianchi Lake on the north side of Bogda Peak in Tianshan Mountain. The holy place where the Queen Mother of the West resides.The Ancestral Temple of Youxi Queen Mother is still located on the east bank of Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, northwest of Bogda Peak. It is one of the oldest and highest Taoist temples in XJ. " Wu Nanming said.

"It seems that Bogda Peak is indeed the Kunlun Mountain in ancient legends." Fan Jiannan nodded. "However, are you sure that the golden seal and jade letter are in Kunlun Mountain?"

"Yes, both Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang studied the golden seal and jade letters back then, but to no avail. Later, the Anshi Rebellion began, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty gradually weakened. Their descendants decided to bury the golden seal and jade letters in a famous mountain. Middle. It is said that at that time, Anxi’s chief guardian and the four towns’ Jiedu envoys successively mobilized thousands of capable soldiers to escort them.” Wu Nanming said slowly, “However, there has been no further article on this matter, and there has been no conclusion in the academic circle. There are only Some rumours."

"Is there such a thing?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Of course, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has always existed. The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, and Tang Zuo prospered. Both Lao Tzu and the Tang family were named Li, and Taoism was given special courtesy. Taizong even made it clear that Taoism should be on top of Buddhism, and that Taoism should be preceded by Buddhism. , became the consistent policy of the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism had to flourish. But even in the Xianzong period, it was solemn to welcome the so-called Buddha bone with a huge team, let alone a sacred object of Taoism. It is reasonable to escort thousands of elite soldiers Among them." Wu Nanming said.

"But why is there no follow-up text? Could it be that thousands of elite soldiers and descendants of Taoism have disappeared in Tianshan Mountain since then?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Wu Nanming nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this matter has not been found in the history books. Even the historians of later generations have kept it secret. Only some classics of Taoism have slightly mentioned it. The whole matter is completely submerged in the fog of history. It's hard to see the whole picture." Wu Nanming said slowly, "But what is certain is that there was indeed a group of Taoist practitioners active on Bogda Peak, that is, Kunlun Shenshan. Li Bai was also keen on seeking immortality when he was young. , he even visited those practitioners."

"Baiyujing in the sky, twelfth floor and five cities. Immortals caress my roof, and my hair is tied for longevity." Fan Jiannan murmured in a low voice, "These few poems are about that experience."

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "Yes."

"But what is the relationship between this golden seal and jade letter and the river map we see now?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Let me tell you this. When we read a book, if we find some words we don't know, we can usually solve it by looking up a dictionary. The golden seal and jade letter is a dictionary that can be used to interpret He Tu, a kind of reference book. But He The picture is the beginning and source of everything." Wu Nanming thought for a while, "Before I saw the pattern on this piece of meteorite, I would never have imagined that it had such a relationship with the gold seal and jade letter."

Fan Jiannan nodded, "That is to say, to unlock the secret of Hetu, we must first find the golden seal and jade letter, and to find the gold seal and jade letter, we must go to Tianshan Mountain."

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "That's the truth."

"This is really troublesome." Fan Jiannan shook his head.

"I think this is very interesting. If we can really find gold seals and jade letters, and even find the secret of longevity, then wouldn't we make a lot of money?" Fatty Zhang said excitedly.

Wu Nanming smiled wryly, "Maybe the secret of longevity is not as beautiful as you imagined, and it may even be the source of pain."

Fan Jiannan knew that he was deeply touched, so he didn't say much.I just discussed other issues with Wu Nanming.After all, this is only a preliminary judgment. Even Wu Nanming himself believes that this idea needs to be implemented, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

At the same time, Su Xuanshui and Wu Ya fell into a fierce dispute.Wu Ya hopes to hand over the river map they exchanged to Zhang Jian for research as soon as possible, because he believes that Zhang Jian is the only one who can unlock this secret.However, Su Xuanshui still had doubts in his heart, and he was not at ease to hand over the river map he got to Zhang Jian.

So the two quarreled fiercely because of this incident.It's just that they didn't know that what they worked so hard to get was the real fake, but the real Hetu was returned to Fan Jiannan as a fake.If they knew this, they would probably vomit blood in anger.

"I don't understand, what are we waiting for now?" Wu Ya frowned, "Since we have obtained the He Tu, why not let Zhang Jian decipher it, he is one of the few people who can be called an expert in Wu Wen. This river chart can only play its role if it is handed over to him."

Su Xuanshui shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't understand what you said, but it is precisely because of this that we can't hand over such important things to Zhang Jian now, even though he is still under our control. Because Wu Wen Only he is completely clear about the content, how can we be sure that he has not concealed from us, or even deliberately provided false information to us? Can you guarantee it? Obviously not!"

"So, what do we do now?" Wu Ya paced back and forth anxiously, "We have already got the river map, and Zhang Jian is also under our control. We have the two conditions to crack the river map, but we still need Continue to wait. Then I would like to ask, how long do we have to wait?"

"I understand your anxiety, but now is really not the time. Once Zhang Jian gets Hetu, it is very likely that I will have no restrictions on him. Even though he is still under our control, but he knows it. If I don't tell you, what can you do?" Su Xuanshui looked at Wu Ya and said, "What's more, what should we do if Zhang Jian deliberately destroys this Meteorite River Map?"

"I don't understand. The river map is also very important to Zhang Jian himself. Why did he destroy such an important thing?" Wu Ya shook his head and said, "So your statement is not valid."

"Is it really not true? If Zhang Jian has read the shamanism on this river map, or even mastered it secretly, it is hard not to guarantee that he will not destroy the river map. Because in this way, the only secret about the river map is He knows it alone. At that time, we will have no way to restrict him." Su Xuanshui explained.

"Then what do you say?" Wu Ya said helplessly.

"The safest way is to pry open his mouth. Let him tell the whole story of Wuwen, and we will decipher the river map." Su Xuanshui said slowly, "In this way we can take the initiative. Don't forget that apart from Zhang Jian, Yi Shu The council and Wu Nanming are also eyeing the river map. Now the river map is the most important to us, and we can't give it to anyone easily. Even if Zhang Jian is under our control, don't forget that he is An immortal, he has a lot of time to spend with us. But we can't afford it, and the woman you want to save can't afford it."

When Su Xuanshui mentioned Linghu Bai, Wu Ya was instantly depressed.He also understood what Su Xuanshui meant. Although they controlled Zhang Jian now, it was impossible for him to surrender.And once Zhang Jian mastered the content on the river map, they would undoubtedly have less control over him.This is really a dilemma.

Wu Ya was silent for a while and said, "Then what should we do now?"

"I don't know either, but it's better not to let Zhang Jian know about it for the time being." Su Xuanshui paced back and forth, "Let me talk to him."

"But, I know Zhang Jian, you can't persuade him to hand over the secret of longevity." Wu Ya frowned.

Su Xuanshui said slowly, "I'm afraid not necessarily. You know Zhang Jian, but you don't necessarily know me. Maybe I will have a way to make this immortal speak."

"What way?" Wu Ya said in a daze, "He's a tough guy."

"Don't eat soft and hard, it doesn't mean you have no desires." Su Xuanshui said slowly, "People who have pursuits have weaknesses. Just like your weakness is Linghu Bai, and Zhang Jian has used this to control you very much. several years."

Wu Ya's complexion changed, "Don't compare me with him. I am at least a human being, and he is an immortal. His thoughts and the way he thinks about problems are very different from us ordinary people. "

"I understand what you mean. But don't forget that his pursuit is the complete secret of longevity, and in order to achieve this, he only wanted to get Hetu Meteorite, or Luoshu Turtle Shell. That is to say, he It also has weaknesses. It's just that we didn't make good use of it." Su Xuanshui said slowly.

"How do you want to take advantage of this?" Wu Ya said helplessly.

"I'll talk to him." Su Xuanshui said lightly, "Okay, you've been working hard during this period, go back and rest first. I'll talk to Zhang Jian."

Wu Ya nodded helplessly, turned and left.

After Wu Ya left, Su Xuanshui looked at the meteorite and smiled coldly, then turned and walked into the room where Zhang Jian was imprisoned.

Zhang Jian was still locked all over, sitting alone in the room with his eyes closed.Hearing the sound of Su Xuanshui walking in, he slightly opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again. "You're finally here."

"Why are you waiting for me?" Su Xuanshui asked with a slight smile.

"It depends on how you say it. Whether I wait for you, you will come." Zhang Jian said indifferently, "Even if you don't say it, I know that you should have obtained the real river map by now, right?"

"Oh, why do you know?" Su Xuanshui said with a smile.

"Su Xuanshui, I actually know what kind of person you are." Zhang Jian said coldly. "You may not be as smart as Fan Jiannan, but you are more cautious than him. Unless you are absolutely sure, you will never make a move lightly. You come to me now, it can only show that you are sure. And I know, your biggest problem right now It’s still a river map. Since you came to find me, it means that you should have found the real river map. Is there any need to explain it clearly?”

"As expected of the immortal Zhang Jian, he always sees problems more thoroughly than ordinary people. But this is also the reason why I have to deal with you carelessly."

Su Xuanshui said slowly, "Yes, I have obtained the river map."

"It's a pity that you don't understand at all, that's why you came to me. Even if you don't want to admit it, you still know that I am an expert in the study of ancient Wuwen. For now, I am your best hope for unlocking the secret of Hetu." Zhang Jian smiled slightly.

"That's right." Su Xuanshui nodded with a smile, "Your analysis makes sense. However, you still overlooked one point."

"Oh? What is that?" Zhang Jian looked at him calmly and asked.

"You ignore what kind of person I am." Su Xuanshui smiled lightly, "I can't trust a person easily. Especially a person like you."
