Chapter 536 Black Belly Man

Yang Jing looked at the dark cave behind the stone tablet, and for a moment he really didn't know what to say.

There is definitely a joy. The last appearance of the imperial seal recognized in history was when he was carried by the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, who was burned by the Xuanwu Tower, and eventually the imperial seal disappeared. It is obvious that this stone tablet carved more than a thousand years ago once again proved that Li Congke did throw himself into the fire with the imperial seal.

But everyone knows that the Xuanwu Tower in Luoyang Palace in Luojing is made of wood. The temperature of the open flame formed after the wood is ignited is only seven or eight hundred degrees. You should know that the combustion temperature of coal is only about one thousand degrees, and the combustion temperature of hydrogen is only only one thousand four hundred degrees. The imperial seal is made of Lantian jade, and the melting point of ordinary jade is as high as more than one thousand seven hundred degrees. Even the golden horn inlaid with the imperial seal is also made of gold, and the melting point of gold exceeds one thousand degrees.

Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the imperial seal was burned together with Li Congke. Even if the fire in Xuanwu Tower is burning strongly, at most it will melt the golden horn of the imperial seal, and it will never melt the main body of the jade seal.

Wood is wood, and it will never become coke, and the temperature of wood burning is not that high!

But the jade seal of the kingdom disappeared, and it was missing for thousands of years. Although during the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer named Duan Yi discovered the seal of the kingdom while farming and sent it to the court. After thirteen great masters based on the records of the previous dynasty, they were confirmed that it was a seal of the kingdom made by Emperor Shi.

But eighteen or ninety are nonsense, or simply a play written and directed by Song Zhezong. How could the grand imperial seal fall into the civil field? Moreover, when Song Zhezong ascended the throne, it was only 140 years before Li Congke held the seal and threw it into the fire. How could the grand imperial seal be still in the civil field for more than 100 years without anyone discovering it?

This is just fooling around!

The knowledgeable people in the government and the country of Song Zhezong were also suspected of being false, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong was fond of elegance and engraved seals in ten directions. People at that time criticized the use of snakes. In fact, Huizong seemed to have a deep meaning of diluting the status of the imperial seal.

It is almost certain that the seal of the imperial seal should have been found after Li Congke got into the fire, but it is unknown who found the seal of the imperial seal.

Now, the answer to this mystery that is the biggest mystery in Chinese history has finally been revealed. Li Congke did throw himself into the fire with the imperial seal, but he was found out by the Zhongguanzheng of the Tiantai of the Later Tang Si, that is, Yue Chengzi, after the fire was extinguished, and secretly brought out of the Luoyang Palace, and finally hid it in the cave behind the stone tablet.

Moreover, the inscription clearly states that Yuechengzi met Li Congke after he became a military leader. No matter when he met Li Congke, it is estimated that Yuechengzi should be a real person. Otherwise, after Li Congke obtained the throne of Later Tang, he would not have invited Yuechengzi to Luojing from this remote Taoist temple to serve as the Zhongguanzheng of Sitiantai.

You should know that the official position of Sitiantai is equivalent to the official position of the fifth rank. The most important thing is that Sitiantai is not under the jurisdiction of anyone except the emperor. It is a unit directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Therefore, although the official position of this official position is not high, it is definitely the emperor's confidant.

This is also why Li Congke asked Yue Chengzi to ask when Shi Jingtang's army was under the city, and obviously he valued Yue Chengzi very seriously.

Moreover, before Li Congke died, he summoned all the ministers. Although Li Congke had already betrayed his relatives and had not many ministers at that time, some ministers, including Yuechengzi, were still given poison wine by Li Congke, that is, poison wine, which shows that Li Congke wanted these confidant ministers to be buried with him.

But this Yue Chengzi was really capable. He did not kill him on the spot, but instead made him pick up a big leak and picked up Li Congke's imperial seal.

In other words, the imperial seal, which is known as the same as the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu in Chinese history, is actually hidden in this dark cave in front of you.

This joy is definitely great enough.

While feeling happy, Yang Jing was also very frightened.

This Yuechengzi is really not a simple person. To be precise, he is definitely a ruthless guy. If he had to sit in Li Congke's seat, there would probably be nothing Shi Jingtang had to do with him.

Not to mention anything else, just knowing that it is poisonous wine, it is enough to prove that Yue Chengzi is cruel. Not only is he cruel to others, but he is also cruel to himself. Because Yue Chengzi knew very well that if he didn't drink this cup of poisonous wine, he would definitely be chopped into meat paste by Li Congke's guards.

Although there was only a simple statement on the stone tablet, Yang Jing could think of the critical situation at that time. Even the emperor was about to throw himself into flames and burn him. If you don’t follow me, would you stay and want to surrender?

So it is very certain that when Li Congke summoned these ministers, he was already determined to kill them. After seeing that all the ministers had drunk poisonous wine, he would pull my mother, wife and son to the point of fire together.

It is estimated that Yue Chengzi also saw the emperor's cruelty. The emperor could even pull his mother and wife and children together to throw fire. What are these ministers? So Yue Chengzi then ruthlessly drank the poison wine.

However, Yue Chengzi was proficient in medical skills and probably had prepared himself with medicine. Although this antidote was not very effective, it ultimately saved Yue Chengzi's life.

Of course, according to what Yue Chengzi himself said, the antidote was not very effective. At least the remaining poison of the poisonous wine had not been solved. Yue Chengzi himself knew that his life would not last long, so he put all the imperial seal he picked up and the things he had previously given to Emperor Taichung, Sitian, into this cave, and sealed the gate outside the cave, setting up four types of mechanism traps inside.

To be honest, the words Yang Jing translated from these vanishing texts engraved on this stone tablet can only ensure that they are closest to their willingness. After all, this is vanishing texts, not Chinese characters.

But judging from these translated contents, in order to protect the imperial seal and the treasures given to him by the emperor, Yue Chengzi also set up four mechanism traps in this black cave. According to the translated contents, they are traps, flying blades, rolling stones and arrows. If the last broken dragon stone is included, they will be five mechanisms!

Just looking at the names of these mechanism traps makes people shudder. Yang Jing did not think that the mechanism trap built by Yuechengzi had so much effort was just a paper tiger, which was a scare.

According to Yue Chengzi's ruthlessness towards himself, the mechanism traps he set up in this cave can definitely kill people.

It’s no wonder that Yuechengzi regards the imperial seal as more important than his own life, so he will naturally try his best to protect the imperial seal. Even in the Han tombs and Tang tombs, the princes, nobles and even the emperors, in order to ensure that their tombs are not dug up by future generations, they set up a large number of mechanisms and 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 Yuechengzi, then he who was proficient in geoscience would definitely set up some extremely vicious mechanism traps.

These traps of the mechanism are not what shocked Yang Jing the most. What shocked Yang Jing the most was Yue Chengzi's cunning.

He clearly set up a trap mechanism that was enough to kill many people, and he wrote it out on the stone tablet outside the cave, and even said the steps to crack the traps of these mechanisms. But this guy did not use normal Chinese characters to express it, but used extremely rare waste text to express it.

This is a typical scheming bitch from Chi Luoluo! Ah, no, it should be a black-hearted man!

Obviously, Yue Chengzi didn't want the imperial seal to be buried here forever. He also hoped that his younger generation could find the imperial seal. However, he was clearly afraid that tomb robbers or others would find it here, so he used this extremely rare exorcising text to explain the imperial seal and the situation here.

Although the vanishing text or water books appeared very early, in that era, in addition to the water races that lived far away in the mountains and forests of Guizhou Province, there were probably only a very small number of Taoist priests with real skills in the entire Chinese land that understood this kind of text.

If it weren't for inheriting Yuechengzi's mantra or the juniors who came out with Yuechengzi, it would be absolutely impossible to understand the content carved on this stone tablet.

If the younger generations related to Yuechengzi saw this stone tablet, they would naturally easily find the jade seal of the kingdom and the treasures given to Yuechengzi by Li Congke. But if the people who came here could not understand the content carved on the stone tablet, then the end was most likely to be dead.

The Luban box happened to be made in 934, the year when Li Congke ascended the throne and became emperor. There is a great possibility that Yue Chengzi carefully created it after he became the official official of Sitian Taichung and had sufficient resources.

Then when Yue Chengzi finished all this, he hand-painted the silk and hid it in the Luban box, hoping that his descendants could get the treasures here.

This is Yue Chengzi’s real purpose!

Good things must be left to your younger generations!

But it’s no wonder. If it were me, I might have done this too!

However, this troublesome Yue Chengzi probably never expected that all the things he left behind were completely hidden for more than a thousand years because of the Luban box for some reason. If he hadn't discovered the treasure of the last Tsar and found half of the Luban box in it, this secret would have been hidden forever.

Now, the Luban box has been obtained by myself, and I have also lost so much energy to enter here. Senior Yuechengzi, the younger generations you store will accept the treasures for your younger generation.
