Chapter 44
"The Seventh Master of the Land!" Daya and I shouted in unison.
Big teeth could not hide the excitement in his heart, and he said to me with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, "Let's Liang, it seems that it is really the Seventh Duke of Xingdi, while the other person is Mangourtai. Judging from their situation, they are not like enemies, but like friends reminiscing about the past. This is what happened after Huang Taiji ascended the throne. In other words, at this time, the Seventh Duke of Xingdi had already followed Nurhaci's secret order and lurked among the villagers. I didn't expect that Mangourtai's eyeliner was so powerful."
I nodded, "The three kings of Mangguertai on the mural are dressed up and meet this mysterious man in the wilderness. It seems that they are old friends, they have known each other for a long time, and their relationship is pretty good. Otherwise, with the ability of the Seventh Lord of the Land, it would be easy to find Mangguertai. Even if he takes his head, he will be able to get it at his fingertips..."
Daya seemed to remember something, and before I finished speaking, she interrupted, "Hey, hey, Lai Liang, listen to me, do you remember at Liu Ye's house? Liu Ye said that their ancestors once said such things, saying that after Nurhaci handed them over the things, he told them that someone would come to take the beads in the future. Could this person be Mangourtai? In other words, the secret left by Nurhaci before his death was for this Mangourtai?"
After Daya said this, I remember that there was indeed such a thing, but now I am just speculating that there is no real evidence, but it is not ruled out that there is such a possibility. Unless I know what they are talking about or what records they are leaving, I cannot be hasty confirming that Mangourtai is the designated pearl collector based on his subjective imagination.
And what the relationship between Manguertai and Xingdi Seventh Duke was and what he said was impossible to figure out for a while.
However, when Daya got into trouble, I thought of the true face of this mysterious man. The more I thought about it, the more reasonable I felt, I couldn't help but feel the joy in my heart, so I hurriedly told Daya. As soon as Daya heard me telling me that I had figured out the true body of this mysterious man, I couldn't stand it and said that I was eager to stop hiding me and said that I was fucking.
I smiled and told Daya that we were thinking too complicated by the problem. Don’t forget that we are now underground in the original Niangniang Temple. The nun in the Niangniang Temple was originally one of the seven masters of the land of the land that year. Can this mural appear here explain some problems? If you look closely at the figure of the nun and the person in the painting?
After I said this, Daya suddenly realized and patted her head: "I was still wondering why that man was so weak. Gan Qing'er was originally a woman. Now it seems that we had guessed well before. The nun who had just been burned to death should be the "Tianxuan" of Xingdi Seventh Master, and his name was from Xian Xuan. When Manguertai met this nun, it seemed that he had no malice towards this nun and had a lot of friendship. Otherwise, he would not have been able to place his daughter's house next to the Temple of the Imperial Palace. Why did I feel a bit like letting this nun protect his daughter?"
I nodded calmly, while sorting out the scattered clues from the past, and expressing my thoughts: "It is certain that Mangourtai knows this nun and has a good relationship. It is probably that Mangourtai expects that after Huang Taiji ascends the throne, he will be in danger in the future, so he entrusted his daughter to this nun to take care of. Of course, it is also possible that Mangourtai may be the pearl-taker designated by Nurhaci."
Daya and I are both very excited now, and our thoughts that have been chaotic have become much clearer.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's finish reading the last mural. Otherwise, I'll save the blind man thinking like a blind person touching an elephant and wasting brain cells." After saying that, Daya pointed to the last mural with his finger.
We suddenly figured out the deep questions that lingered in our hearts before we were a little proud. If we hadn't woken up, we would have forgotten that we had only seen the murals on three walls, and there was still one that we had never seen before.
The candle was almost lit at this time. I carefully turned the wick and lit the candlelight a little. Then I raised my head high and looked over.
The last wall is painted very simply. In the raging fire that connects the sky and the earth, a large manor can be seen faintly. The houses are connected to the houses, which are very grand. Under the burning fire, all the houses turn red. The red flames flash, the flying fire burns the eaves, the fire is overwhelming, and the smoke is rolling.
The fire steamed the clouds in the sky into red glows, and the ground was burned to a yellowish color by the flames. In front of the collapsed house, several men in black stood side by side, wearing tight night clothes and black veil covering the surface, and were carrying steel knives behind them, looking at the fire in front of them. A token hung around her waist, which was portrayed very delicately. After looking carefully, she saw the words "Xingtian" written on it.
When I saw this, I knew it very well. This should be a description of the scene when the Princess's Mansion and the Niangniang Temple caught fire. The men in black who were standing outside the door watching the fire should be the "Xingtianwei" under Huang Taiji.
The book of the old Taoist Xuan mentioned that after the Seventh Duke of Xingdi was in seclusion in the world, Huang Taiji once formed a secret organization to recruit strange and powerful men, and specifically investigated the traces of Seventh Duke of Xingdi. He wanted to know what secret he left behind, and was called "Shentianwei". These people acted insidiously and viciously, had many methods and were highly capable, and the third and fourth of Seventh Duke of Xingdi died indirectly at their hands. Could it be that the fire that year was ordered by Xingdiwei? All the people in the Princess's Mansion were silenced by Huang Taiji?
As soon as I mentioned these, Daya also remembered it. He looked at the mural on the wall and nodded constantly, and then suddenly pointed at the man in black in the painting and asked me with some confusion: "Lai Liang, what you said about 'Xingtianwei' should be right, because there are words on the waist sign. But why do I feel that this fire is not like these people? Look at these people carrying knives behind their backs, and their clothes are so neat, it seems like they have just arrived. If they have been fighting or they deliberately set fire, it is impossible for them to be so clean and tidy. The knife is still behind them, so they should be carried in their hands, right? I always watch movies. These night walkers carry knives before they do things, and after doing things, they carry knives with one hand."
On this point, Daya observed it very carefully, and I also felt that Daya said something. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that these people seemed to have just arrived. When they arrived, the fire had already started. There must be a difference between the knife behind their backs and the knife in their hands. But this is just our guess, and it is not certain. The only thing that is certain is that Xingtianwei came to the fire scene.
In this history, at least three different forces are intertwined. One is that in the Seventh Duke of Xingdi, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests in order to preserve the secrets left before Nurhaci's death, which represents the former Khan Nurhaci; the second is that in the Seventh Duke of Mangurtai, he felt that his relationship with Seventh Duke of Xingdi was not like a friend. Combined with history, this guy was also specifically against Huang Taiji, and probably because he was unwilling to accept the imperial power. Third, in the Seventh Duke of Xingdi, in order to consolidate the Imperial Power, he chased Seventh Duke of Xingdi, killed his brother and destroyed his relatives. Of course, there may be more hidden powers. Who would believe that other Beile would be idle at home honestly, but now these three forces are already placed in front of him in a complicated manner, which is clearly visible.
After seeing all the murals, he licked his dry lips and cursed: "It's a fucking thing. This matter is a struggle around imperial power. Before his death, the old man Nanurhaci didn't know what he told Xingdi Qigong. Let the Xingdi Qigong scattered in the mountains and forests, not only to avoid Huang Taiji's pursuit, but also to guard against other ambitious princes Beile.
It seems that this secret must threaten the throne, or it is crucial, otherwise Huang Taiji would not be so worried. And that Mangourtai, who really wanted to rebel or imagined to rebel, held Huang Taiji with his left hand and Xingdi Qigong with his right hand. On the one hand, he was a minister under Huang Taiji and had to do his loyalty to his duties, and on the other hand, he had to pull Xingdi Qigong as a friend to reminisce about the past. He was the busiest in the whole place, and it was enough to make things difficult for this guy."
After hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "The matter we are pursuing has finally come to light now, and the matter seems to be revealed. Simply put, it is because of the secret left by Nurhaci before his death. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, in order to eliminate all the forces that threaten him, Huang Taiji began to chase the Seventh Duke of Xingdi; on the other hand, those brothers did not know what they did in secret, but from a historical perspective, basically the ones that should be killed and the ones that should be held, the imperial power is still in the hands of Huang Taiji. However, the Seventh Duke of Xingdi has not mentioned it in history. I don't know what the secret is going on in the end and whether it has been untied."
After hearing me, Daya sighed: "Ah, since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has been bloody, and it is the same in any dynasty. If you want to consolidate your position, you naturally have to eliminate all the forces that threaten you. Moreover, Huang Taiji ascended the throne was also incorrect and unsatisfied. Who knows what happened in the past twenty days after Nurhaci's death to his ascension? His brothers are more awesome than the other, and they all have great achievements to shock the master. Once the country is stable, they are destined to be dealt with sooner or later."
I sighed worriedly and stopped talking. Sometimes when I think of Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, Manguertai, Dorgon, Shunzhi, and Yongzheng, all of the great figures of the Qing Dynasty, who died suddenly or died in an unknown way, I feel a little confused. I always feel that we have overlooked some details, but I don’t know what went wrong.
Usa's witchcraft is so magical, and we are now involved in it so deeply, it is difficult to get out of here. Not to mention anything else, when I think of the things in the corpse tank, I feel a little scared. If Daya and I really drink that kind of water, it will be a matter of time before the corpse worm breaks out. But I didn't say these words, and I slowly planned it in my heart.
There was nothing else in the room, so Daya and I walked up the steps along the opposite passage.
