Chapter 536: The Black-bellied Man


Yang Jing looked at the black cave behind this stone tablet, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.Hey, that's absolutely.The last appearance of the jade seal recognized in history was when he was held by Li Congke, the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, and set himself on fire on the Xuanwu Tower, and finally the jade seal of the country disappeared.Obviously, this stone tablet carved more than 1,000 years ago once again proves that Li Congke did throw himself into the fire with a piece of the heirloom seal.But everyone knows that the Xuanwu Building of Luoyang Palace in Luojing is wooden, and the temperature of the open flame formed after the wood is ignited is seven or eight hundred degrees, and you must know that the combustion temperature of coal is only about 1,000 degrees, and the combustion temperature of hydrogen is only 1,400 degrees.The Seal of the Kingdom is made of Lantian jade, and the melting point of ordinary jade is as high as more than 1,700 degrees, even the golden horn of the Seal of the Kingdom of Origin is made of gold, and the melting point of gold is more than 1,000 degrees.Therefore, it is very incorrect to say that the seal of the country was burned with Li Congke, even if the fire of the Xuanwu Tower burns vigorously, at most it will melt the golden horn of the seal of the country, and it will definitely not melt the main body of the jade seal.Wood is wood, it can never become coke, and the temperature at which wood burns is not so high!

But the jade seal of the country disappeared like this, and once it disappeared, it was thousands of years.Although in the time of Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a farmer named Duan Yi who found the seal of the country when he was plowing the field and sent it to the imperial court.According to the records of the previous dynasty, thirteen scholars believed that it was the seal of the first emperor.But nine times out of ten, it's nonsense, or it's simply a play written and directed by Song Zhezong.How could the dignified heirloom jade seal fall in the people's fields?

Moreover, when Song Zhezong ascended the throne, it was one hundred and forty years since Li Congke threw the seal into the fire, how could the dignified jade seal of the country be discovered by no one who has been in Mintian for more than a hundred years?

It's just a fool!

And Song Zhezong's court and opposition people of insight are also suspicious of its hypocrisy, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong is very elegant, and the seal is engraved in ten directions.It is almost certain that the Chuan Guo Seal should have been found after Li Congke threw himself into the fire, but it is unknown who found the Chuan Guo Seal.Now, the mystery of this biggest mystery in Chinese history has finally been revealed.Li Congke did throw himself into the fire with the seal of the country, but he was found out by Zhongguan Zheng of the Tiantai of the Later Tang Dynasty, that is, Yue Chengzi, after the fire was extinguished, and secretly took him out of Luoyang Palace, and finally hid in the cave behind this stone stele.And this inscription says very clearly, Yue Chengzi met Li Congke after leaving the school, no matter when he met Li Congke, it is estimated that this Yue Chengzi should be a person with real skills, otherwise Li Congke would not have invited Yue Chengzi from this remote Taoist temple to Luo Jing to serve as the Zhongguan of Si Tiantai after he got the throne of the Later Tang Dynasty.You must know that the Zhongguan of Si Tiantai is equivalent to an official of the five grades, and the most important thing is that this Si Tiantai is not under the jurisdiction of anyone except the emperor at all, and it is a unit directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor alone.Therefore, this lieutenant official is not high in rank, but he is definitely the emperor's confidant.This is also why Li Congke obviously took Yue Chengzi very seriously when he wanted to find Yue Chengzi to ask about the withdrawal of Shi Jingjiao's soldiers when he was approaching the city.And Li Congke also called all the ministers together before he died, although at that time Li Congke had already betrayed his relatives and left not many ministers, but some ministers, including Yue Chengzi, were still given wine by Li Congke, that is, poisonous wine, which shows that Li Congke wants to let these henchmen and ministers be buried together.It's just that this Yue Chengzi is really capable, and he didn't kill him on the spot, but let him finally pick up a big leak and pick up Li Congke's heirloom seal.That is to say, the heirloom seal, which is known as the same as Dayu Jiuding in Chinese history, is actually hidden in the black cave in front of him.This joy is definitely big enough.While feeling happy, Yang Jing was also shocked.This Yue Chengzi is really not a simple character, to be exact, he is definitely a ruthless and spicy guy, if he is allowed to sit in Li Congke's seat, I am afraid there will be nothing to do with Shi Jingjiao.Not to mention anything else, the fact that he dared to drink it even though he knew it was wine was enough to prove that this Yue Chengzi was ruthless.Not only is he cruel to others, but he is also ruthless enough to himself.Because Yue Chengzi knew very well that if he didn't drink this cup of wine, he would definitely be cut into meat by Li Congke's guards.Although the stele only mentioned a simple sentence, Yang Jing could also think of the critical situation at that time.Even the emperor is about to set himself on fire, and if you ministers don't follow me, will you stay and want to surrender?

Therefore, it can be said with certainty that when Li Congke summoned these ministers, he was already determined to kill these ministers, and only after seeing that these ministers had drunk poisonous wine would he, the emperor, drag his wife, wife and son to throw themselves into the fire.It is estimated that Yue Chengzi can also see the emperor's ruthlessness, the emperor can even pull his wife, wife and children to throw a piece of fire, what are these ministers?

That's why Yue Chengzi drank the wine ruthlessly.However, Yue Chengzi is proficient in medical skills, and I am afraid that he has already prepared an antidote for himself.Although this antidote was not very manageable, it ultimately saved Yue Chengzi's life.Of course, according to what Yue Chengzi himself said, this antidote is not very spiritual, at least the residual poison of the wine has not been solved, and Yue Chengzi himself knows that his life will not last long, so he put all the things that were picked up by the Emperor Zheng, who served as the Zhongguanzheng Emperor of Si Tiantai, into this cave, and sealed the door outside the cave, and set up four traps inside.To be honest, the words that Yang Jing translated just now based on these inscriptions engraved on this stone tablet can only guarantee that they are closest to their willingness.After all, this is 殄文, not Chinese characters.But judging from these translated contents, in order to protect the heirloom seal and the treasures that the emperor rewarded him, Yue Chengzi also set up four traps in this black cave, according to the translated content, they are traps, flying blades, rolling stones and row arrows.If you count the last broken dragon stone, it's a full five traps!

Just judging from the names of these traps, it makes people shudder.Yang Jing didn't think that the trap that Yue Chengzi had put so much effort into building was just a paper tiger that scared people.According to Yue Chengzi's ruthlessness towards himself, the traps he set up in this cave can definitely kill people.It's no wonder that Yue Chengzi regards the national seal as more important than his own life, and naturally tries his best to protect the national seal.Even if it is the Han Tomb and the Tang Tomb, those princes and nobles and even the emperor Laozi, in order to ensure that their tombs are not dug up by future generations, they also set up a large number of traps in the tombs, not to mention Yuechengzi, who is proficient in this area?

Ask yourself, Yang Jing knew that even if he replaced himself with Yue Chengzi, then he who was proficient in the art of public opinion would definitely set up some extremely vicious traps.These traps are not the most frightening to Yang Jing, but the most frightening thing to Yang Jing is the city government of Yuechengzi.He had set up traps that were enough to kill many people, and he wrote them down on the stone tablets outside the cave, and even told them the steps to crack the traps.However, this guy did not use normal Chinese characters to express it, but used an extremely rare 殄文 to express it.This sister is a typical, Chi Luoluo's scheming!

Ah, no, it should be a black-bellied man!

Obviously, Yue Chengzi didn't want the national seal to be buried here forever, and he also hoped that the younger generations could find the national seal.However, he was clearly afraid that tomb robbers or others would find this place, so he used this extremely rare inscription to explain the seal of the country and the situation here.At that time, in addition to the water tribes living in the deep mountains and old forests of Guizhou Province, I am afraid that only a very small number of Taoist priests with real skills would understand this kind of writing in the entire land of China.And if you don't inherit the mantle of Yuechengzi, or if you are a descendant who is from the same door as Yuechengzi, it is absolutely impossible to understand the content carved on this stone tablet.If the juniors related to Yuechengzi saw this stele, they would naturally follow the instructions on the stele to easily find out the heirloom jade seal and the treasures that Li Congke rewarded to Yuechengzi.But if the people who come here can't understand the content engraved on the stone tablet, then the end is very likely to be dead.And that Luban box happened to be made in 934, that is, the year when Li Congke ascended the throne as emperor, and it is very likely that Yue Chengzi carefully built it after serving as the Zhongguan of Si Tiantai and having sufficient resources.Then, when Yue Chengzi had done all this, he hand-painted the silk and hid it in the Luban box, hoping that his descendants would get these treasures here.This is the real purpose of Yuechengzi!

Good things must be left to their juniors!

But it's no wonder.If it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same!

It's just that this scheming Yue Chengzi probably never thought that all the things he left behind were completely hidden for more than a thousand years because of the Luban box that was separated for some reason.And if he hadn't discovered the treasure of the last tsar and found half of the Luban box in it, I'm afraid this secret would have been hidden forever.Now, that Luban box was obtained by himself, and he wasted so much effort to enter here, so Yuechengzi seniors, these precious juniors you stored will smile for your juniors."

I don't care what treasure Li Congke has rewarded you, but the Seal of the Kingdom is a treasure of the entire China, and it must not be hidden here!

So, sorry seniors!

”Yang Jing muttered a few words in a low voice, and his eyes were aimed at the black cave behind the stone stele
