Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 133: Everlasting Hate Water Changdong (1)
We walked slowly through the icy forest of weapons in the stone cave, and came to the end with many turns.There is a huge open space in front of you, surrounded by three stone walls, and facing you is a giant flying flute dance mural. The people in the painting are still the beauty of Jiutong you saw last time, Princess Ami and her husband-in-law, the ancestor of Turks, Ashi. That Bi Dulu, the two of them are stepping on passionflowers with different postures.

The ground is full of skeletons and remains. Judging from their clothes and weapons, it seems that there are two teams of men and horses, one with bows and the other with knives.

What is worth exploring is that there is a group of people who seem to be carrying a pile of white pottery. The fragments of the pottery are scattered all over the place, or shattered on the faces of some skeletons, which seem to be some kind of masks.Judging from the posture, the two teams fought fiercely before they died, and many of the bones were bent by the huge force, or cut off by the opponent's sharp weapon. It can be seen that until the death, the two sides maintained mutual The look of fighting.

I walked to the most gorgeously dressed and tallest skeleton, picked up the torch beside me, and tried to borrow some fire from old man Zhang to light it, but unexpectedly it was still alive.I looked down and saw a black iron bow next to the skeleton, which looked very old. I was overjoyed, picked it up with my hands through my clothes, and tore off the rag to wipe it.Looking at it under the light of the fire, I was surprised at first, but saw the golden light, carved with all kinds of ancient mythical beasts, which were extremely exquisite, and gradually illuminated the cave where we were, shining brilliantly on our eyes. Eye.

In this life, I also love shooting. In the past, the Guazhou family used to collect good bows in a relatively corrupt manner. The damn Zhang Zhiyan just refused to return my lovely collection. However, the dazzling golden bow in front of me It is the most luxurious bow and arrow I have ever seen in my life.Compared with it, my precious collections are as ordinary as stones in front of diamonds, and even the silver bow that Duan Yuerong gave me paled in an instant.

The old man praised me across from me: "What a golden bow."

Biying slowly appeared in our line of sight, interrupting our conversation.Her face was very pale, and she seemed to want to lean against the wall to rest for a while, but seeing the rotten bones everywhere, her eyes showed fear, and she stood there tremblingly.Noticing that I was looking at her, he stood up straight again on purpose, raised his disheveled head, and looked sideways at me, still looking aloof, just like the first time I saw her in a bullock cart when I was a child .

Her ankle was swollen like a steamed bun, and she was still bleeding. I glanced at her, put down the golden bow, tore off the cloth strips from the hem of her clothes, walked up to her, and knelt down to wrap up the bleeding for her. feet.

She struggled slightly on it, "Let go, I don't want you to be pitiful."

"Who will pity you? Who will pity you?" The more I listened, the more irritable I became, and I said angrily, "You heartless and extremely stupid woman, you walk so slowly, do you know that you have delayed our escape?"

I finished the work in hand and stood up immediately, still feeling extremely annoyed, and then sneered at her: "When and where did I, Hua Mujin, pity you, Yao Biying? If you want to despise yourself, I can't help it, what do you love?" What are you doing?"

I snorted heavily, ignoring Biying's sour face, and turned my head to see that old man Zhang looked at me unblinkingly, seeming to be full of interest.I lowered my eyebrows and quickly put away the golden bow and several golden arrows. I looked at the brilliant arrows carefully, only to find that the mark of passionflower was engraved on the tail of the arrows.

I was so frightened that my hands trembled and I threw it away, then picked it up again, and looked at it carefully again, only to find that the passionflower on the golden arrow seemed to be different from the passionflower of Sima's family.I remember that the passionflower of the Sima family has ten single petals, and the style is relatively simple, but the passionflower on this golden arrow has double petals, with rhombus-shaped short petals inlaid between the slender silk petals, densely packed. It seems that there are about twenty petals, which are very similar to the purple and red passionflowers seen in the underground palace of the Winter Palace. Looking up and looking at the passionflowers in the big mural in front of me, the style is also very similar.

I said to myself: "Could it be that this is the passion flower of Sima's family?"

Immediately regretting the words, I looked up to see old man Zhang, but he looked at me with blazing eyes, "No, ma'am." He shook his head, "This is not the passion flower of Sima's family."

I was secretly surprised who this person was, who actually knew about the old affairs between the Yuan family and the Sima family.I couldn't help touching the big golden bow, and suddenly felt a faint small character on the body of the bow. I leaned over to look, and it turned out to be an ancient character from the Central Plains. This ancient character is only half in shape, resembling a sun, and the other half seems to have been scratched by some sharp object. illegible.

The old man Zhang stretched out his hand to look at it for a while, and said: "Madam, please look, this is the ancient Chinese character 'Ming'."

I was taken aback, Ming?
He seemed to be lost in thought there, and I noticed that his fingernails were clean and neat, and he didn't seem to be doing rough work at all.

When old man Zhang saw me staring at his hand, he smiled flatteringly, quickly withdrew his hand, and sighed: "These bones seem to be hundreds of years old... no wonder... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it to be tomorrow." The people at home have really found out about the Western Regions."

"Ming family?" I was shocked, Yuan Qingwu's crazy laughter was still in my ears, I calmed down, and asked: "Senior said... but the one-word side-by-side king who founded the Dongting, Wu Wang Ming Fengcheng Ming The Ming family? The Ming family whose family was ransacked because of treason in the previous dynasty?"

"Exactly." One of Zhang's eyes was shining brightly, "Historical books once said that 'the general hangs a purple robe, the bright moon reflects the red lotus, the maple dew continues the plum blossoms, and the rain of flowers moves the capital'." Zhang said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were four major families. In addition to the royal family of the Xuanyuan family, there were also three other powerful families, the Yuan family, the Ming family, and the Sima family. The noble family is the general of the hussars, and he likes purple single-petal passionflower; The peony in the emblem was designated as the national flower. At that time, the Sima family and the Ming family were often married, and the official circles were connected, but they also compared each other. They collected passionflowers in extravagance. Therefore, passionflower fairs were popular everywhere in the capital city. Unavoidably, it caused a sensation in the entire capital city, barely overwhelming the imperial family Peony, which aroused the vigilance and suspicion of the Xuanyuan royal family, and indirectly caused the chaotic palace case that almost destroyed the Sima family."

I was shocked.This old man Zhang is really not simple.

Old man Zhang pointed to the golden bow in my hand and continued: "I'm old and not talented, if I guess correctly, this divine bow in Madam's hand should be a family heirloom of the Ming family, the supreme weapon - Zhen Wuhou.

"The first generation of Xuanyuan Dongting's founding hero Wu Wang Ming's Fengcheng style is a true warrior, known as the Great General of Zhenwu. He has divine power and has an outstanding figure. He holds a golden bow and wears a hundred steps. He is very brave. He often took the lead in rushing to the enemy's camp, shot off the enemy's banner, once attacked ten cities at night, and went straight to the imperial capital, and made great contributions to the Xuanyuan family. This is also the second generation patriarch of the Ming family. A beautiful woman with an alluring beauty, named Princess Kaiguo Pinglu, married to the Ming family. At that time, Ming Zhenwu had just taken the title of King Wu of the Ming family, but he was only in his early twenties, and he was in the prime of his life. His golden bow gave him the name Zhenwuhou."

"Ming Zhenwu?" I wondered, "According to what the senior said, isn't this the remains of Wu Wang Ming Fengcheng himself?"

Old man Zhang pulled out a few arrows and polished them on the bone opposite the remains, and the golden color was also revealed. Then he inspected the figure and middle finger of the bow holder, "An ordinary man has a beard of seven feet, and a man of eight feet. He is tall and tall, with a full nine feet, and his leg bones are more developed than ordinary people, which shows that he is excellent in lightness kung fu, and the middle three fingers of his right hand have well-developed phalanges, he is a sharpshooter, and he may be the real general himself."

Why did Ming Fengcheng bring Marquis Zhenwu to the Western Regions?I wondered: "After King Wu retired and returned to his hometown, there were rumors that he brought Princess Xuanyuan Zimi back to the fiefdom of Soochow to spend his life in peace?"

"Alas!" Old man Zhang shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately not. People in the world often hate Ming Fengcheng for being greedy and lustful, but he is only adventurous. Traveling and hunting for novelty, but misunderstood by the world.

"After the case of Sima's chaotic palace, the Ming family and the Yuan family jointly rescued the Sima family. The late emperor married the two twin daughters to the Yuan family and the Ming family respectively. It is said that the arrival of Xuanyuan Zimi brought the Ming family The most glorious honor also brought the most tragic fate to Mingfeng City."

I sighed secretly and asked: "But the dowry "No Tears Sutra" of Princess Xuanyuan is to blame?"

"How did Madam know that?" Old Zhang looked at me suspiciously.

I sighed slightly, smiled wryly and said, "It's a coincidence...that's all," I coughed, "I also ask senior to enlighten me on the origin of this."

"General Sima is domineering and domineering, King Wu is arrogant and monopolistic, but King Qin Zhong is calm and patient. Yin Yin warned his clansmen to keep their duties and not compete with other families. The Sima family often suppressed the Yuan family. However, when the case of chaos occurred, Sima The family never imagined that it was the king of Qin Zhong who lobbied the king of Wu to jointly rescue the Sima family, so he was willing to use one of them as a dark man to serve the tenth king of Qin Zhong. After the decline of the Sima family, the ancestors bestowed a marriage. He accepted Princess Pingning, wanted to refuse the marriage, and persuaded the King of Wu to leave the capital with his family. However, the Ming family and the Xuanyuan family had a long-standing marriage contract, and Ming Fengcheng had a childhood sweetheart with Princess Pinglu since childhood. In a rich and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xuanyuan family dared not do anything to him, so they rejected the king of Qin Zhong." The old man Zhang sighed, and continued: "It is recorded in "Zuo Zhuan of the Ming Dynasty": "The appearance of a princess sinking into a fish and falling into a wild goose , the talent of Zhenwu's shocking strategy, and the sound of the qin and the zither are enviable. An envoy from Xiyi presented the most precious "Wuxiang Zhenjing" at the banquet, and distributed it to the two daughters of Pingning and Pinglu. Entering the King of Qin Zhong, the "No Tears Sutra" was included in our family. When the mistress was amazed, she stayed in Beijing for a long time, and taught Zhenwu Lord secretly. There is a huge treasure map in the folder of the scriptures. The king laughed and condemned: I You are like a treasure. The scriptures are placed high in the library. One day, you sleep soundly. When you go to the library, you will see a book with high cobwebs and a bright yellow silk cage. You can't stop reading it. , The dead body was thrown on the banks of the Yangtze River in a few days. The mistress cried out, Xiushu sister Ping Ning brought her to Beijing, and insulted the saint in front of the palace. The saint was angry and gave him a royal staff. The queen begged to be spared. Entering the palace to meet the saint, and dying in the Eastern Wu.'”

I was taken aback when I heard it, why is this old man Zhang so familiar with memorization, could it be that he is from the Ming family?I then asked: "Senior is so familiar with the stories of the Ming and Yuan families, could it be that he is a descendant of the Ming family?"

"The Ming family does have descendants." The old man Zhang's eyes flashed, and he turned cold, and said, "Ming family's 360 family members copied and beheaded, but in fact only 350 six people asked to be beheaded. The Yuan family once married a younger sister to Ming Fengyang, and at that time The original suzerain replaced his younger sister with a prisoner on death row, but Ming Fengyang, the young master of the Ming family, was nowhere to be found. People, the dark people of the Yuan family are still searching with all their strength, but," he turned his head to look at Biying and me, and smiled proudly, "I am not a descendant of the Ming family."

yes!As far as your old Yirong age is concerned, at best you are the old butler of the Yuan family.I looked at him blankly, but my heart was full of slander against his identity.

Xuanyuan Zimi?Ami?It seems that the wine-eyed flying sky that Qi Fang and I fell into the underground palace is the hard-fated Princess Pinglu.

The past events of the Ming family reminded me of Yuan Qingwu and Yang'er's dream, and I became more and more upset and irritable.Looking back at Biying, she didn't seem to like staying here, she stood up hastily, limped past me with her stomach in her hands, ran behind the old man, and sat on a big jagged rock with a horrified expression on her face.

I couldn't help swallowing, "At the beginning of the founding of the Turks, they were all called Xiyi in the Dongting history books. The Khan of the Xiyi at that time was Bidulu from Ashina's family. Turks were not powerful at that time, so I dedicated A treasure book was issued to seek peace. It seems that this Mingfeng City did not drown on the banks of the Yangtze River, but secretly ran to the Western Regions to hunt for treasure with his retainers. And Princess Xuanyuan Zimi did not at all, as stated in "Ming Zuo Zhuan" , stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of her life, and died in depression. Instead, she followed her husband and sneaked into the Western Regions. In the end, she was taken by Ashina Bidulu, the owner of the grassland at that time, and was forced to marry Ashina's family. princess."

"Madam is really smart." He nodded with a faint smile, turned around and picked up a few golden arrows and other iron arrows, put them into the quiver, handed them to me, and said, "This place is not suitable for staying for long, madam and empress dowager, please come with me. "

I hung up the quiver, stretched out my hand and tried to pull the golden bow, thinking that this bow is so precious, and the previous owner was the No.1 famous founding general, so I must not be able to pull it open, but unexpectedly, I pulled it away.

Old man Zhang and Biying looked at me with strange expressions.

Old man Zhang murmured: "I really can't imagine... Madam's supernatural power, she can draw this bow."

In my tight inner arm, I could only feel a powerful force rebounding from the golden bowstring, running through the entire left arm that was pulling the bowstring, and hitting my chest and abdomen. It was painful, but it hindered Biying, and I didn't want her to see the joke , then slowly retracted the bowstring, tried to pretend to be chic and smiled and said: "I think it is destined."

Turning his head away, putting away his smiling face, he secretly adjusted his inner breath for a while, before he dangerously suppressed the surging sweet smell.

Seeing the remains of Ming Fengcheng, I thought of Ming Fengyang again, and thought to myself why all the men of the Ming family I know died so inexplicably, so desolately and tragically?

The skeleton on the other side of the cave, wearing a white mask, looks very much like a member of the Sima family.

"If people from the original family united with people from the Ming family to keep the Sima family, the Sima family should also be grateful to the people from the Ming family." I said in amazement, "Dare to ask senior, why did the Sima family fight against Ming Fengcheng? At that time, the members of the Sima Clan should have become domestic slaves of the Yuan family, could it be that the Yuan family sent their family members to hunt down and kill Ming Fengcheng? But aren't Yuan Nian and Ming Fengcheng brother-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, the old man Zhang also tapped his forehead, and shook his head in confusion, "I don't know why this place is so old. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Ming family and the Sima family were competitive, and wherever they went, the passion flower was used as a record. The original clan records It is mentioned that Princess Pingning believed that her sister had been taken captive, and she did not want to discredit the royal family, so she secretly sent [-] top dark men to the Western Regions to investigate, and then disappeared, and there was no news. Madam, please look at this mural, whether it is The wedding banquet, or something used by the princess, is decorated with red passionflowers everywhere. Princess Pinglu was trapped in Xiyi, so she used red lotuses as a record on this stone wall, which may be a distress signal. Princess Pingning may pass through the red lotus Lian learned that her sister was in jail, and the Ming family kept silent, so she sent a secret agent from the Sima family to rescue her sister. It is believed that Ashina was so powerful that both the Sima family and Ming Fengcheng died in the end. In Gongyue Palace, Princess Pingning and her husband Yuan Nian were also buried in Ziling Palace at this time, and no one could save Princess Pinglu. So a generation of alluring beauties, even if they have the shameful appearance of the closed moon, even if there are Turks The king loves everything, and the body of gold branches and jade leaves is eventually reduced to the object of the concubines and concubines in the barbarian harem. Within a year, after giving birth to the crown prince, he passed away. Princess Lu's Sima Clan fighting? It's really unbelievable."

This person actually still knows the Yuan family records back then, could he be a secret person of the Sima family?

Old man Zhang was staring at Ming Fengcheng's finger bones.

I was puzzled, and my eyes followed Ming Fengcheng's pale and slender finger bones, pointing at the skeleton nailed by a golden arrow under the opposite mural before he died. The sackcloth was exhausted, he was wearing a complete mask, and a golden arrow was stuck on his forehead. At the root of the arrow, the mask was cracked, and his feet were nailed to the mural by the golden arrow.The mask and clothes of this person are very similar to the clothes of the dark god of the dark palace in my previous nightmare.

Why did Ming Fengcheng point at that skeleton? Could it be that before he died, Ming Fengcheng was pointing at him and yelling at him?
