Xixia dead book

Chapter 236 The Finale of Death (26)
When the fog cleared at dawn and the hermit was nowhere to be seen, I knelt down to thank the ground, suddenly I felt that the hermit was like my ancestor, and also like the late emperor, and I bowed to the ground again, when the water receded from the great lake, I came out of the oasis, and said to the officials: "I We will build a city here and send brave men to guard it." Thus, in three years there will be a city of Mi.Heicheng was built in the next year, and the two cities were divided into east and west in the north. Micheng was the most important, and Heicheng was supplemented.

Bai Gao Daxia Emperor Wei Mingyuan Hao Yubi

Tang Feng was shocked after reading the entire inscription, "This inscription was actually written by Yuan Hao himself! This may be the only article written by Yuan Hao that has been discovered so far."

"Another inscription appeared. What does this inscription say?" Han Jiang didn't seem to understand.

"In short, Yuan Hao wrote this article to explain the reason why he built Mi City, which is basically the same as our previous speculation, so this inscription is called 'The Monument of Building Mi City'." Tang Feng read it again Looking at the inscription, he continued: "However, this inscription still reveals some important information. At the beginning of the first paragraph, Yuan Hao mentioned a period of experience when he was in trouble among the people when he was young. He said that he had come here when he was young. , his description of the Wild Wolf Valley and the Sea of ​​Rebirth is completely consistent with our experience, which shows that the Wild Wolf Valley was like this before the founding of Xixia. At the end of the first paragraph, Yuan Hao said that he had a premonition of the future of this place It can come in handy.”

"This is a bit bragging. He was only a child at that time, so he knew that this place could be of great use?" Liang Yuan muttered.

"Don't worry about whether he is bragging or not, and then look at the second and third paragraphs. Yuan Hao briefly talked about the history of him leading the party members to establish Xixia. Risheng, he felt very worried. At this time, Yuan Hao went hunting in the Northland. Where is the Northland? I think Yuan Hao here refers to the northern border area of ​​Xixia. After observing the mountains and rivers in the northern borderland , There was a dialogue between Yuan Hao and the minister, which can explain the direct reason why Yuan Hao built Mi City. He said that the east, south, and west sides of Xixia are all powerful enemies, but these three sides have important towns, so he thinks that It's not a big concern, but the northern frontier is not guarded by major towns, so Yuan Hao thinks that this is the most dangerous place. If a strong enemy attacks from here, Xixia will be attacked by the enemy. There are no strong enemies in the north, and there is the Gobi Desert, which can be used as a barrier to the north of Xixia. Yuan Hao refuted Wuzang Yepang and mentioned two points. One is that he sees the north as a king, which is a bit false. The second point is that Yuan Hao It is said that he traveled to the north when he was young and saw the local people were brave and good at fighting, so he worried that after a hundred years, these brave and good at fighting tribes would become a serious threat to Xixia!"

Makarov interrupted Tang Feng and asked, "Here, the people from Mobei mentioned by Yuan Hao are referring to the Mongols?"

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, at that time, Mobei was in a state of fragmentation and was very backward. The various tribes often killed each other, and it was not even a threat to Xixia. These formidable enemies are not to be feared, it is these people from Mobei who will really become a serious problem for Xixia in the future, as expected, later history has proved Yuan Hao's worry."

"Isn't this absurd! More than a hundred years ago, Yuan Hao could have predicted that the Mongols would rise and destroy Xixia?" Han Jiang shook his head, unable to believe it.

"Perhaps it is exaggerated to say so, but Yuan Hao is worthy of being a hero of a generation, and he has a relatively accurate judgment on the future situation. He has fought against Khitan, Song Dynasty, Tubo, and Uighur, and he has almost never lost. So he knows these powerful enemies It's not his opponent, and it won't be in the future, and those tribes living on the Mobei grassland, although they are still very weak, must guard against, so this is the more direct reason why Yuan Hao built Mi City.

Therefore, in the fourth paragraph, Yuan Hao wrote a more bizarre story. One day he strayed into the Wild Wolf Valley alone again. After encountering all the terrible things, Yuan Hao came to this oasis. No matter how the water rises, it will not flood the oasis. Yuan Hao thought it was the protection of the longevity sky. He saw all kinds of rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants in the oasis. Obviously, the oasis Yuan Hao saw back then was much better than what we see today. What I saw was more prosperous, and there were more rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants. The most important information came from the following sentence——there was a fierce beast named '隗蘷', which was really difficult to deal with.This shows that when Yuan Hao had not built Mi City, the beasts like 隗蘷 lived in this oasis, so this created a contradiction. When Tang Feng said this, he looked at each one with strange eyes.

Liang Yuan quickly understood the contradiction Tang Feng said, "If the party members want to build the city, they must tame the cockroaches, otherwise they will not be able to build the city of Mi!"

"Yes, according to the records on the Qixue Army Stele and our discovery in Qianhu Town, the party members tamed the beast, the cockroach, so that they successfully built the city of Mi. As for their use of I don't know the method." Tang Feng really couldn't think of what method the party members used to tame the crocodile, "In addition, the history of this monument is earlier than that of the Xue army monument, so I guess Liu Bingzhong was in the army of Xue Xue." The title of this beast on the military stele should also come from this stele."

"It's very possible. Ba Siba and Liu Bingzhong must have seen this monument as well. At first I even suspected that this monument was pushed down by Kublai Khan's army." Liang Yuan said.

"At the beginning, I also thought that the stele was overthrown by the Qie Xue army. This is what often happens during the change of dynasties, but later I found out that I overturned this assumption. The stele has been standing here from the beginning to the end, and has never been moved, but decades ago, for some purpose, the stele was pushed down." After Tang Feng deduced the history of the stele, he pointed to The stele said: "Take it a long way, and look at the records on the inscription, Yuan Hao is also very afraid of the beast like the cockroach. After night fell, he didn't dare to sleep, for fear that the cockroach would attack him suddenly. When the fog fell, an expert from the outside world came out of the fog and said to Yuan Hao: "This place is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be another place for my family." This sentence is completely different from our previous deduction. Coincidentally, besides defending the northern frontier, Yuan Hao built Micheng with another meaning, even when the Dangxiang people were suffering from subjugation, Micheng could still make the Dangxiang people come back again like Dijinze back then!"

"It's a pity that although the party members here persisted for decades after the fall of Xixia, they still failed to make the party members make a comeback!" Makarov murmured.

"There is another very important word. Have you noticed? It is the word 'I' in this sentence. This expert's words reveal that he and Yuan Hao are in the same family, so the first paragraph in the last paragraph, Tian Ming Afterwards, Yuan Hao thought back, thinking that the tall man was very similar to his grandfather Jiqian, and also felt like his father Deming."

"This is all a trick of the ancient emperors to deceive people. They often pretended that some important decisions were guided by ancestors or gods." Han Jiang disagreed.

"I don't rule out that this inscription has this element in it, but it is undeniable that the ancients believed in it very much. When Yuan Hao walked out of the oasis, he told the officials about these things and wanted to build Mi City, there was no more People object!" Tang Feng said.

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of something, "That means Mi City not only has an important strategic position from the beginning, but also has some divinity!"

"I think that's what the party members think!" Tang Feng nodded, and then said: "Three years later, Mi City was initially completed, and the end of the inscription specifically mentioned that another famous ancient city is Hei City, and said 'Two Cities Keeping the east and the west of the Northland, Mi City is the most important, and the Black City is complementary." This sentence indicates that Yuan Hao not only built Mi City, but also built another city, which is the Black City that we have known for a long time. The city is on the northern frontier, one east and one west, with horns forming each other. It seems that Yuan Hao established a whole set of defense system in order to guard against the enemies in the north, not just a city. However, the last sentence made me feel a little bit I don't understand, "Mi City is the most important, and the Black City is complementary." Yuan Hao obviously means that Mi City is the main city, and the Black City assists Mi City, but we know that the Black City has always been the military center of Xixia in the north. The location of the Black Water Army Division, but the city of Mi is hard to find in history, which is really puzzling."

"Don't think about it too much. To me, this stele reveals two pieces of information. One, it's going to be dark soon, and we can't stay here for long, otherwise we will encounter cockroaches..." Han Jiang said halfway, Looking around at everyone, he didn't continue talking.

"What about the second message?" Tang Feng asked back.

"Second, this monument stands here and has never been moved for nearly a thousand years, so I think Mi City is very close to us!"

After hearing Han Jiang's words, Tang Feng slapped himself on the head suddenly, "I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't expect this. Yes, the appearance of this monument shows that this place should be very close to Mi City!"

Everyone looked forward at the same time, tall trees blocked their sight, they couldn't see anything except these tall trees, but everyone knew in their hearts that they were very, very close to Mi City.

【No.14 The Incomparable Gate】

Han Jiang looked up at the sky, the tall trees blocked the sunlight, making the dense forest dim, Han Jiang thought about it in his heart, and said: "I guess it's only an hour before dark, look at us tonight. Should we camp here, or continue on our way.”

"Whoever dares to spend the night here, not to mention that there have been no fierce beasts and cockroaches, just those giant pythons and poisonous snakes attacking us again will be enough for us!" Everyone's answers were surprisingly unanimous.

Han Jiang crossed his hips, and his eyes turned to the front again, "But if we don't get out of this forest before dark, have you considered the consequences?"

Everyone fell silent, Han Jiang said again: "Even if we walked out of the woods before dark and found Micheng, do you know where there is something terrible waiting for us?"

"The incomparable gate?!" Tang Feng laughed at himself mockingly.

"Anyway, I dare not spend the night here!" Liang Yuan muttered.

"You guys have to think about it!" Han Jiang reminded everyone.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were determined to move forward, Yelena and Makarov hesitated for a while, and agreed to move forward, Han Jiang had no choice but to nod, "Then let's move on, I don't want to fight with these people The guy crushed to death by the stele will spend the night together!"

So, the five people continued to walk forward. To their great surprise, after bypassing several tall metasequoia trees, the front suddenly became clear. The ground full of lichen and moss disappeared, and a tall city stood abruptly in front of them. In front of everyone.

Everyone was surprised to see the scene in front of them. The tall rammed earth city wall looked intact. It has been standing here for thousands of years?Tang Feng stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the scene inside the city, but the tall city wall blocked his sight, and he could only see the roof of a large building.

"This seems to be a corner of Mi City!" Han Jiang judged after observing it for a while.

Tang Feng used the compass to confirm the direction, "We came from the north. If the compass didn't fail, the section of the city wall we see now should be the northeast corner of Mi City."

"Northeast corner?" Han Jiang suspiciously looked towards the end of the north wall, and then looked towards the end of the south wall. Han Jiang was even more puzzled, "The north and south walls can't be seen! The walls of Mi City how long?"

"Maybe it's getting dark, you'll know when you walk around tomorrow!" Tang Feng said.

But Liang Yuan said: "Yelu Chucai's paper clearly stated that Qianhu Town is only one-twelfth that of Mi City, which means that Mi City should be six to nine times that of Qianhu Town."

"I think Qianhu Town is enough. Is Mi City really that big?" Tang Feng doubted the authenticity of Yelu Chucai's record.

Han Jiang looked around the city wall, and saw some famous buildings, "Tang Feng, you found that there is no tower on the north wall, but there is a tall tower standing on the east wall."

Everyone noticed what Han Jiang said, "Yes, it stands to reason that there should be gates on every wall of such a big city, or even more than one! But... But looking at it from here, it is really impossible to see There are traces of the city gate on the north side, but maybe the tower on the north side collapsed during the battle."

Han Jiang pointed to the city tower on the east wall, "It's getting dark, let's advance into the city!"

So, the five people walked towards the tower on the east wall. On the way, Han Jiang made a new discovery, "There is a wide moat at the base of the city wall. Could it be that Mi City has a moat?"

Tang Feng also noticed the wide moat under the city wall, "Yes, there must have been a wide moat in Mi City. As for whether it is a moat, can this ghostly place attract water?"

Everyone continued to walk under the east wall. Under the quiet sunset, the five of them finally arrived at the tower of Mi City. An incomparable gate stood silently in front of everyone.

2
In the middle of the city wall on the east side, inside the tall city gate, an unparalleled gate appeared in front of everyone. Tang Feng rubbed his eyes vigorously. He couldn't believe that all this was true. A real golden gate appeared Before their eyes!Although he had thought countless times in his mind what the incomparable gate that Misha described looked like?But when Tang Feng really stood in front of this golden gate, he still couldn't connect the scene in front of him with the appearance he imagined in his mind. Everything was so abrupt, so unbelievable, as if it had been a lifetime away!
"Is this really a golden gate?" Yelena muttered to herself, unable to believe it.

"According to common sense, gold is soft and not suitable for making strong city gates..." Makarov couldn't believe it either.

"Go over and have a look!" Tang Feng said, and walked towards the golden gate, but Han Jiang grabbed him, "Be careful, and see if there are any new footprints on the ground."

Han Jiang's words reminded everyone who had been dazzled by the golden gate. Tang Feng hurriedly checked the ground, except for their messy footprints, he did not see any footprints of people or creatures. Everything was so quiet, as if no life existed here. However, "It seems that we are the first people to walk in here after half a century."

After Tang Feng checked, he walked slowly into the city gate, and approached the incomparable golden gate a little bit. Suddenly, Tang Feng stepped on something hard, and he quickly lowered his head to check. It was another human bone, a human tibia , "Why are there bones here again?"

"Could it be that female scientific research team member?" Han Jiang immediately thought of the mysterious female scientific research team member.

Everyone's attention was temporarily shifted from the golden gate to the white bones in front of the gate. Yelena knelt down, made a rough identification, and quickly made a preliminary judgment, "The skeletons in front of the gate are basically well preserved. They are two ancient skeletons. One of the male bones is about 20 years old, the other is between 40 and [-] years old, and they are of Mongolian race, so it is unlikely that these two bones belong to the mysterious female scientific expedition team member."

"Isn't it a female scientific expedition member, is it still from Ma Changguo?" Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

"Obviously, these two male skeletons cannot be from Ma Changguo, because they died at least 600 years ago. Look at this!" Makarov picked up from the sand beside the skeleton. Picking up a small piece of porcelain, "Tang Feng, what is this?"

Tang Feng's heart trembled. With his cultivation of cultural relics, he can immediately tell the approximate age of a thing, even if it's just a piece of porcelain. When Tang Feng saw that piece of porcelain, his eyes lit up. Surprised: "This piece of porcelain really surprised me, this... This is the porcelain of Ge Kiln, one of the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty."

"Ge Kiln? How did the priceless Ge Kiln porcelain appear here?" Han Jiang had also heard of the name of Ge Kiln.
