Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

I tugged at my sleeves and said impatiently: "So you want to tell me that, apart from the period of modern development, our family has always been so poor, right? I think it will soon be comparable The tragic history of the Jewish people."

Bai Tao laughed and said, "So the people in your family are like the Jews. Since the fall of Western Xia, the Liang family has gradually regarded the ancient promises as something similar to religious beliefs, and made them the most important mission to complete. Perhaps Only in this way can we give them a reason to survive."

"Then what happened later? Where did the members of the Zhang surname go? Those of my family have been waiting for a rabbit in Changbai Mountain, and they haven't waited for a single one after hundreds of years of waiting. How much do they have no sense of time? Isn't this just kidding us?"

Bai Tao couldn't help laughing: "You are such a funny little girl."

"I'm not young, okay, I'm also 20 years old."

Bai Tao smiled and didn't answer.

Not to mention that his appearance is so cute that I can't even think of words to complain about.

Sigh, why would a man like me fall in love with another man of the same sex? No wonder someone like me doesn’t even have a boyfriend. The fucking competition is too fierce these days!

I hurriedly pulled back my thoughts and continued: "Tell me, what is going on with this house? Why do you keep us waiting?"

"You can't blame them," Bai Tao said quietly. "Looking at it from another angle, it can also be said that the Liang family has always been a step behind others in the past few hundred years. Before Wannuwang, the Zhang family lived a relatively peaceful life." , for a certain purpose, they did go to Changbai Mountain once every few years. However, when King Wannu moved into Changbai Mountain to establish a political power, everything changed. It became a place that could not be easily stepped into, and became Dong Xia core area of ​​rights."

"Uh……"

I can't speak.

From this point of view, our family has no fate with this family.Always missing each other, it is simply impossible to love anymore.

I was silent for a moment before I said, "I've never heard Grandpa say these things before."

"As I said, the situation is different. Even if you can't accept it, I have to give it a try."

"But do you really want to go back to the past so far? You can't pick the most recent one and talk about it briefly? If you tell me about the last 5000 years, you can't finish it all day and night."

"I just picked the most important turning point for your family. In fact, the experience of the Liang family in Dongxia can be said to have an extremely far-reaching impact. It was an endless struggle. It was in Changbai Mountain that the Liang clan truly understood what the other half of the Zhang family's secrets were, and what kind of mission they were shouldering."

I had to be patient: "So, Zhang's going to Changbai Mountain is related to the half of the secrets I have mastered? Then those people in my family stayed for a long time, and found out why they went there?"

"Yes, to be precise, the first person to discover this secret was King Wannu. After all, he was in charge of the political power, so when he gained a foothold in Changbai Mountain, he naturally discovered the secret here. In fact, Changbai Mountain is very It may have a deep relationship with the box a long time ago, and it is the root of all origins. Similarly, the source of this bronze tree is also closely related to it. I guess, after hundreds of years of pondering, in Liang's busy life and work While fleeing, the Zhang family's understanding of the secret in their hands deepened, and they found out its source."

I secretly sighed, compared to our family really do not want to make progress.

But no matter what, even hundreds of years later, the Liang family has gradually learned about the secrets that the Zhang family has.

They saw the end of the secret in Changbai Mountain.

As for what the "end" is, there is no detailed description in the records, and it is not something that an outsider like Bai Tao can know.

"In short, your family can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Since the secret ends in this place, and Dongxia is a very closed regime, it is not difficult to protect the secret."

But reality played a cruel joke with them.

On a certain day, the closure was broken.

A strange face appeared in front of King Wannu, Wang Zanghai.

I recalled the situation of the underwater tomb, and said to Bai Tao: "What's the matter with Wang Zanghai? How could people from the Ming Dynasty appear near Changbai Mountain? Even if the legend of the Eastern Xia Kingdom is true, could it be that this Wang Zanghai is also like Li Shizhen?" Like that, wandering around, and finally wandering to the Eastern Xia Kingdom? No matter how powerful he is, how could he persecute my family for 600 years?"

"Don't underestimate Wang Zanghai. You will soon understand what kind of opponent he is." Bai Tao said solemnly, "This man is not only a master architect in the early Ming Dynasty, but also a wise man who has accomplished a lot. The period was probably when Ming Chengzu was in power, that is, around 1400. At that time, almost everyone knew about it. No one knows how Wang Zanghai came to Dongxia Kingdom, but it is said that he was in It was captured by Dongxia adherents when they were exploring the leylines near Changbai Mountain. At that time, Dongxia Kingdom was carrying out a very huge project, which could not be completed with its own strength and knowledge. We had to turn to this strange man of the Ming Dynasty for help. I think You should have seen the model of that project in the sea tomb."

"Yunding Tiangong!" I couldn't help blurting out, "So the mural depicts the Changbai Mountains? Is it really the hometown of the Eastern Xia Kingdom?" Questions flooded my mind.

"Yunding Tiangong... I think the one depicted in Haidou is really an incredible thing. Wu Xie said that it is a palace floating in the sky, covered by clouds and fog below, it is very magnificent."

Bai Tao nodded: "Yunding Tiangong is a palace built for King Wannu of the Eastern Xia Dynasty. It is the peak and most regrettable masterpiece of Wang Zanghai's life, and it is also the turning point of his life." He changed the subject and asked me, " Xiao Jin, do you know who is supervising the Wang Zanghai project?"

"Is it our house?"

"That's right. Those who have an understanding of design and Feng Shui, and who are also fluent in Chinese, look at the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and only the Liang family can take on this important task."

"Looking at your expression, it seems that the ending is not going well. But isn't the Yunding Tiangong completed in the end?"

Bai Tao was silent for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then continued: "The problem is not the project itself, but the ultimate secret in Changbai Mountain."

"Hey, I heard you say that Wang Zanghai is so smart, so naturally he also knew the secret of King Wannu when he built the Tiangong?"

Bai Tao smiled bitterly: "Keeping secrets is a very difficult thing. I don't think anyone will know what happened. Or Wang Zanghai himself is a ghost-like figure, maybe he came from Zhang Jia. An unwary person, or in a certain ancient tomb, he discovered the existence of the "Ultimate of the World" and grasped one or two clues, and found Changbai Mountain after all-out investigation. According to the speculation of the surviving Liang clan , he may have had a very clear purpose since he appeared in Changbai Mountain. In short, like Liang, he finally knows part of this secret."

"Part of it?"

"As I said before, the complete secret contains two relative parts, half in the Liang family and half in the Zhang family. What Wang Zanghai saw was only the so-called "secret ultimate". After contacting the Liang family, he learned that it is necessary to fully grasp the secret. , it is still inevitable to start with these two families."

I curled my lips: "It sounds like our family is going to be in trouble."

"As I said before, in the past several hundred years, your family has reacted a step slower than others. They have never been suspicious of Wang Zanghai, and they still respect him as a scholar. They don't know that a catastrophe is imminent. " Bai Tao licked his dry lower lip and continued, "Although it is not easy to make trouble in a project that the emperor pays attention to, it is not impossible. What's more, with Wang Zanghai's ingenuity, he quickly won the favor of Wannu. Wang's trust made it easy to blame the Liang family for the accident. What's worse is that many members of the Liang family didn't understand what happened until the moment they died."

"The wrath of King Wannu almost wiped out the Liang family, only a team of cavalry patrolling outside was spared. They sneaked out of the power of Dongxia hastily, and started a new escape."

Alas, escape again...

"And what about Wang Zanghai? Has he got the secret he wanted?"

Bai Tao smiled slyly: "This is probably one of the strengths of your family. After too many catastrophes, the Liang family has a good idea of ​​how to continue their secrets. Even if they searched all the relics of the Liang family, In the end, Wang Zanghai did not find the ultimate secret he wanted."

I sighed: "I always run away like this, and I don't know when it will be the end. Then what happened afterwards? Wang Zanghai just died in such a depression?"

"It would be nice if that was the case."

There was an unusual wave in Bai Tao's eyes. It turned out that there would be such a deep light in his light brown eyes. For a while, he didn't look so young. What flashed in those eyes was actually me. The vicissitudes of life that people like grandpa have.

Everything is far from over, instead, it is a protracted tug-of-war.

Wang Zanghai, who escaped from Dongxia, also passed down the secret. Not only that, but his descendants got involved in the search for the secret of "the ultimate world".

Constant pursuit, constant exploration, and more tricks, in the constantly running gears of history, the Wang family has grown stronger and mastered more power, so the activities have become more and more intense, and more and more unscrupulous.

In the following time, the Liang family and the Zhang family will never have a peaceful day.

For the Zhang family with a solid foundation, this must be an endless offensive and defensive battle, with two powerful forces penetrating and wrestling with each other.

For the Liang family, who lives in no fixed place, this is more like an ordeal.

Liang's experience fully embodies the essence of "everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty".In the long history that followed, they faced more inexplicable persecutions and more catastrophes. It seemed that there was always a mysterious force preventing them from fulfilling their ancient promises. guise.

What is even more tragic is that the Wang family's actions were so clever that the Liang family did not understand why they were so "unlucky" until 200 years ago in modern times.

I kind of understand what the so-called "always one step behind" means.

"It's not right," I said, "Why can't they guess it? With such a big secret in their hands, why don't they suspect that someone will be watching them? How generous is this heart."

Bai Tao also showed a puzzled expression: "There is a strange thing about the 'Ultimate' half of your family. No one knows what it is except the real heir of the Liang family, but it doesn't seem to be a functional thing. Things that bring real benefits. Judging from your family's attitude of not paying attention, it is just an attractive story, and it is not as important as fulfilling the promise. The really important part of the "ultimate" is in the Zhang family. Not to mention the long Hundreds of years of isolated life have also made them less responsive to the outside world, so they never thought that someone would assassinate them for this secret. In fact, the Wang family's biggest concern for Liang is that promise. In the end, it is necessary to return to the place where it once originated, so their years of hard work will be in vain. And your family just sticks to this promise like a belief, which is why they have suffered so much."

"That's it..." I thought for a while and then said, "It sounds like our family has not fulfilled the promise with the Zhang family. That means that the tug-of-war between the Zhang family or the Liang family and the Wang family is not over yet. , and fell on our generation. But how on earth do you know so many things? My brother told you everything, he really..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw that the face of the man on the opposite side became a little pale, the lines of the originally soft face froze, and even his body shook.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

I was afraid that he might faint, so I walked up to him quickly and tried to help him, but in a flash, his face changed suddenly, he shook his hand at me, and waved me back quite roughly: "Don't touch me, stay away from me!"

I was made to take two steps back by his sudden slap, almost tripped over a tree root and fell, embarrassing and angry.Damn it, it hurts so much!I covered my hands and glared at him.What the fuck do you mean?It's not that I want to eat your tofu, why are you so nervous.

I saw him covering half of his face, panting heavily and leaning against a thick root beside him.

"Yes, I'm sorry." After a while, he panted, still covering half of his face, "I, I'm a little uncomfortable."

I took half a step back, wary.

Just now, Bai Tao's complexion suddenly turned green, which was quite strange, and what was even more strange was that when I got close to him, I could smell a fragrance.

The fragrance is quite strong, similar to that of roses, but also sweet, not like the fragrance of bliss anyway, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.But a big man exuding a sweet fragrance is quite exaggerated.

"I don't think there is a solution here. Should we go out first and talk about it? In case you feel uncomfortable again, there is a way to take care of you."

"I can't leave here," Bai Tao finally regained his composure just now, and smiled sadly at me, "I can never get out."

I originally planned to finish the two chapters, but I can't speak clearly~ I'm going to work hard!
