The Evil Cloud of Taiping Chapter 48
In the dark, Zhang Yicheng felt that he had been tied up with a rope. He was lifted up and down and didn't know where he was being carried. He wanted to struggle but was not obedient. He didn't know how long it took. He felt that someone was stabbing himself with a needle. "Who is it?" Zhang Yicheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a face swaying in front of him. "Why aren't you dead yet??" Perhaps because of conditioned reflex, Zhang Yicheng bit the tip of his tongue and squirted out.
"Yicheng! It's me!" Tong Guohu took out his handkerchief and kept wiping his face, "Don't be excited! It's me, Tong Guohu!"
"Brother Tong?" Zhang Yicheng looked closely and found that it was indeed Tong Guohu.
"Why did you get inside?" Tong Guohu looked puzzled, "Where did you get in?"
"Where is Ranran!?" Zhang Yicheng had no intention of answering Tong Guohu's question at all. He gritted his teeth and sat up, "Ranran! Zhou Yunran!"
"I'm here! I'm here!" Zhou Yunran was actually next to Zhang Yicheng. When he saw Zhang Yicheng wake up, his first words were actually calling him, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Oh, I'll do it!" Seeing that Zhou Yunran was fine, Zhang Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again, "You unlucky child, want to scare me to death... Brother Tong, thank you..."
"Don't thank me! I should thank you!" Tong Guohu said, "We met by chance. You actually took such a risk for me. I really don't know how to thank you!"
"You little bastard, I don't even ask me if I wake up..." Zhang Guozhong also got to Zhang Yicheng with a cup of hot water, "I know this time I know the pot was made of iron?"
"Dad, I'm really not arguing with you. Fortunately, I'm here to save you..." Zhang Yicheng curled his lips, "If you want to go in that hole first, I'm an orphan now..."
"I'll beat you to death, a big or small..." Zhang Guozhong seemed to be a little embarrassed in front of so many people, "You can't do it, can't I?"

"Brother Tong, can you tell me what's going on?" At this moment, what Zhang Yicheng wanted to figure out the most is what logic is what is happening right now. Why did Tong Guohu return empty-handed, why was he hit by a car and suddenly resurrected, and he could appear on the cliff in time to catch Zhou Yunran. What is the thing in the cave? Which dynasty and which generation of this cave was dug, what is the purpose of this cave? What is the purpose of which dynasty and what is the great man?
"At first, I found many important clues about treasure hiding from my father's suicide note, Du Wenxiu's former residence and other places. Based on these clues, I found the cave, but I didn't go in! Because I could see some things inside, and I didn't find the true immortal at that time, so I was not in a hurry to get the crown..." Tong Guohu said, "After seeing you, I wanted to get the crown as soon as possible, so I returned here, but found that there was nothing in the cave..."
"This is nothing?" Zhang Yicheng collapsed, thinking to himself that you alien uncle was too silenced, right? "Nothing is there, where did I get this injury? What exactly did that African monster do?"
"Actually..." Tong Guohu wanted to speak but stopped, "It's all my fault..."
"Blame you?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "What does it mean..."
"Actually that thing is the evil spirit on me before..." Tong Guohu sighed, almost embarrassed to look at Zhang Yicheng's eyes...
According to Tong Guohu, after finding this cave again, he entered the cave happily and swept the entire secret room, but was disappointed. The secret room seemed to have buried the remaining treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as Du Wenxiu's secret treasure site, but it was empty at this time. In addition to his disappointment, Tong Guohu also conducted a relatively detailed investigation and analysis of the secret room itself. In the end, although he failed to get the crown, he learned some horrifying secrets. "First of all, based on my research, the secret room in the cave should be a sutra cave built at the end of the Song Dynasty!"
"The Cave of the Sutra?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "No wonder there was a message like the Buddha's taste..."
Since ancient times, Dali has been known as a Buddhist country. For this small foreign country, the popularity of Buddhism even surpasses that of Thailand and India, these traditional Southeast Asian Buddhist countries. From the founding of Dali in the first year of Taizu Wende (97 AD) to the fourth year of Daolong (154), Dali has experienced a total of twenty-two emperors in the past three hundred years, of which ten became monks, nearly half of the total. Moreover, the Emperor Dali became monks and was personally ordained to the temple to recite scriptures, not like Wei Xiaobao in the martial arts novel "The Deer and the Cauldron", the emperor believed in Buddhism and sent a substitute to become a monk. This is a glorious tradition of the emperor taking the lead in becoming a monk. This is extremely rare in history. The wild pursuit of Buddhism by the Dali royal family can be seen.
According to the stone carvings found by Tong Guohu from the Cave of the Sutra, the builder of the Cave of the Sutra should be Duan Xiangxing, the second-last emperor of the Dali Kingdom. His father Duan Zhixiang was the third-last emperor in Dali, and the last emperor to become a monk. Influenced by his father, Duan Xiangxing also had a certain degree of obsession with Buddhism. Although he did not become a monk like his father, his religious position of respecting Buddha and respecting Buddha does not have to be much inferior to his father Duan Zhixiang.
In the fourth year of Daolong (144), Ogedei inherited the throne of Mongolian Khan. The first thing he did when he came to power was to think about scattering Dali, and then used this as a base to attack the northern expedition to destroy the Song Dynasty. In June of the same year, Ogedei drew 200,000 elite cavalry from the Mongolian army to attack Shu and advance to the front, trying to destroy the Dali Kingdom at one time, in order to speed up the overall progress of the destruction of Song Dynasty.
To be honest, Duan Xiangxing could not repay the slightest hope of winning for the fierce Mongolian army. He was a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was half destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongolian Kingdom, which means that he was three levels worse than the Mongolian Kingdom. With such a gap in strength, how can this battle be fought? In this regard, at the beginning of the Mongolian army's invasion, Duan Xiangxing began to order the construction of the Sutra Cave to preserve the Dali Buddha Vein. The Mongolian army fought and was famous for slaughtering and setting fires. In Duan Xiangxing's view, if Dali was really captured by the Mongolian army one day, carpet-style burning, killing and looting would be inevitable. If this is true, wouldn't Dali's three hundred-year-old Buddha Vein be eliminated?
However, history has proved that the actual situation is not as pessimistic as Duan Xiangxing imagined. After refusing the Mongolian lobbyist, there was indeed a head-on battle between Dali and Mongolia. Duan Xiangxing even sent Dali's pillar-level general Gao Taihe to fight. Although the main force of the Dali army was wiped out by Gao Taihe in the end, the Mongolian army suddenly withdrew due to the sudden death of the Khan of Ogedei, thus leaving a chance to breathe. In the 11th year of Daolong (151), Duan Xiangxing died and his son Duan Xingzhi was
At the same time, the newly appointed Mongke Dakhan ordered his younger brother Kublai to lead his troops to attack Dali again. Although Duan Xingzhi failed to lose his luck like his father this time and fought half a battle to catch up with the other party's leader, after the defeat, Dali did not encounter the expected massacre and burning. On the contrary, Kublai Khan, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, not only ordered to treat the Dali royal family well, but also appointed Duan Xingzhi as the general manager of Dali to continue to rule in Dali. After confirming safety, Duan Xingzhi ordered the collection of Buddhist treasures of his father Duan Xiangxing.
"You discovered Du Wenxiu's suicide note, Boss Dong has already told me!" Tong Guohu sighed and nodded to Zhou Yunran, "I didn't expect this little sister to be so keen. If I could be as careful as her, I wouldn't have to look for more than ten years..."
"What do you mean is that Du Wenxiu discovered the cave and hid the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom there?" Zhang Yicheng said, "But there is nothing in that cave! Could it be that the treasures were all taken away by the "death soldiers" of Du Wenxiu's sect?"
"No! It was not Du Wenxiu's person who took the treasure!" Tong Guohu was determined, "Do you remember I told you that my grandfather once had an apprentice named Miao and was missing?"
"Miao Zhigu!" Qin Ge suddenly appeared from somewhere. Before Zhang Yicheng could speak, he took over Tong Guohu's words. "The surname is Miao, Long and the name is Lu Guan, and the nickname is Zhiguzi. He is a disciple of Yuan Shaoyi, Longhu Mountain. He was one of the early members of the Kuomintang's top-secret special service organization "China Taiping Prayer Committee". In February 1944, he was ordered to go to western Yunnan with another apprentice Song Chunjiang, Song Chunjiang, to perform special tasks. The task code is 'Cuaner', and he disappeared during the mission..."
"Mr. Qin... how do you... know this!?" Tong Guohu was shocked when he heard Qin Ge say this.
"Yicheng's father and I started dealing with the 'China Taiping Prayer Committee' a long time ago! Dali was the most important rear base of the Sino-Japanese Western Yunnan Battle in 1944. I believe that the so-called 'Current' mission was also related to the Western Yunnan Battle. Unfortunately, the information I obtained did not record the specific content of the mission." Qin Ge smiled, "And there were very few records of the person Miao Zhigu in the information. We just knew that this person existed."
"Supreme Immortal, you're not authentic to say this..." Old Liu couldn't listen...
"Actually, the thing you fight with in the cave is Miao Zhigu's corpse!" Tong Guohu straightened his glasses and said word by word.
"What...what!?" Zhang Yicheng almost turned his back on his back, "Don't you say that it's the evil spirit on you? Why did he become the Miao again?"
"The evil is my body, but his body is his!" Tong Guohu seemed a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but I didn't expect to cause so much trouble..."
According to Tong Guohu's words, when he first entered the Cave of Sutra, he was also shocked. Although there were no treasures in the cave, there were four corpses. Judging from the clothes and the degree of decay of the corpse, it was obviously not ancient people. Three of them were artificially placed together, while the other corpse was lying alone in another place. From this separate corpse, Tong Guohu also found some last words that were temporarily engraved on the ground with a dagger. It roughly means that he was a national military agent. When he was carrying out a special mission, he accidentally discovered a group of Japanese spies disguised as Chinese and was suspicious. He took his own initiative to track Japanese spies with his companions. After discovering that the target of the Japanese spies was originally a Chinese national treasure, he started a fierce battle with him. However, he was seriously injured in the battle and asked his companions to retreat with the national treasure, and he could only stay in the cave and wait for death.
"Although his last words only showed his identity but did not reveal his name and mission, the relics on him made me guess that he was Miao Zhigu!" Tong Guohu said, "In him, I found a dagger that my grandfather often raised. It was one of his favorite weapons. Later, it was passed on to his favorite disciple, Miao Zhigu!"
"Let your companions take the national treasure first!" Qin Ge was stunned, "Mr. Tong, don't you think there is any problem with this?"
"What's the problem?" Tong Guohu was stunned.
"According to the information I have, the person who was carrying out the mission with Miao Zhigu at that time was named Song Chunjiang, who was also the apprentice of Master Yuan. Since Miao Zhigu said that he would let his companions take the national treasure first, it means that Song Chunjiang finally survived. The information also shows that Song Chunjiang was still alive until he performed the last mission with Master Yuan. However, Master Yuan did not know the whereabouts of Miao Zhigu from beginning to end. This shows that Song Chunjiang finally concealed the national treasure!" Qin Ge frowned.
"Well...yes, I have considered this question too..." Tong Guohu was silent for a few seconds, "But what can I do? It's hard to know the person and the face!"
"Dagger?" Zhang Yicheng suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at the second secret room, the buddy lying on the ground seemed to have a dagger inserted in his mouth, "Is it the one in his mouth?"
"That's right!" Tong Guohu said, "When I first entered the cave, I was puzzled that there were four corpses in the cave, but only one soul. Later, I found the last words and found his dagger to find that this person was probably Miao Zhigu. And from the analysis of the traces in the cave, it is very likely that he had saved three other Japanese agents who were killed by him before he died, but he could not save himself. Therefore, the soul left in the cave was probably Miao Zhigu, because of the special structure of the cave, his
The soul cannot go out of the cave, so it cannot be reincarnated!" According to Tong Guohu's analysis, if Miao Zhigu Zhen died to protect the national treasure, and the national treasure was preserved in the end, then for him, he would die with his great wish to get it. Such a soul should be easy to be reincarnated. Even if he does not pass away, he will not be able to be reincarnated on his own. However, due to the special structural limitations of the cave, Miao Zhigu's soul was trapped in the cave. Although he was not very resentful at first, it was difficult to deal with because he was trapped for too long.
"His enemy saved?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned. "Can the prime minister hold a boat in his stomach..."
"His suicide note says that there is actually no hatred between people. Hate is national hatred, and hatred is also national hatred. Practicing the way of hurting people is already a sin of rebelling against the way of the ancestors. Since it is already the yin and yang realm, relief can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of practicing the way..." Tong Guohu sighed, "Then I used Tong Guohu's name to attract his soul. As expected, it means that the dead person is Tong Guohu, and it will be impossible to make a mistake. Since he is my grandfather's beloved disciple, I will save him..."
