After the Si Kong finished speaking, he turned to Fa Ming and said with a face brimming with happiness: ”Don't listen to this old monk's nonsense. Open the Treasure Chest. That would be interesting. ” ”That's right: the people of the Li Dynasty are looking forward to the prosperity of their families, while the people of the Li Dynasty are looking forward to the prosperity of their country.” Fa Ming flipped the box to open it.
As for Fa Ming, he flipped the Treasure Chest and was about to open it. He suddenly thought of the story that Reverend Tranquil Rest had told. He then stopped and said, ”Please pay attention to this, just in case there is any hidden weapon used to protect treasures that can injure people.”
Everyone prepared themselves. As Fa Ming guarded himself carefully, he followed the steps and fiddled with the Yin Yang Nine Revolutions Seven Stars Lock on the wall. Suddenly, there was a bang in the chest, and the chest sprung up. Fa Ming anxiously raised his head and squinted his eyes. A stream of yellow smoke rose from the box, accompanied by smoke and a golden light. The box fell back quickly and naturally, as if it had closed.
Fa Ming's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he said in his heart: ”It's all thanks to the Reverend listening to how powerful this thing is, if not, I would have had to die from the hidden weapons used to guard these treasures.”
The iron-headed monk hastily opened the door and window to let in the fresh air. The smoke quickly dispersed. Everyone was startled and gathered around the table to watch again. Si Kong said, ”This old monk has also seen how well this treasure is crafted. Not to mention the poisonous fog, there were even a few Featherless Crossbow Arrows. ” The young monk picked up the crossbow arrows one by one and placed them on the table. Each of them was gleaming with a sharp light, as though they were spikes of gold. Everyone looked at it and felt that it was a rare item.
Fa Ming opened the box and saw that it was covered by a yellow silk cloth. Si Kong said: ”This silk cloth must be expensive.” When everyone heard his witty words, they all burst out laughing. Fa Ming took off the cover, revealing four bright white items. There were shelves in the middle of the room. Fa Ming placed the four artifacts on the table in succession and said: ”As expected, these four artifacts are exactly the same size, style, and color as the four artifacts I saw in State Protecting Temple.” The Second Monk was so happy that he took one each and looked at it again and again. Si Kong also picked one up and said while he read, ”The ink on this piece is blue, the design is rich, and the light is even dazzling. This was truly a rare good thing. It's even jade. ”
However, Fa Ming did not look at the items inside the box. See the box body under take off the lining, hide a thin book in line. Fa Ming took out the book and was pleasantly surprised. He passed it to Si Kong: ”Elder, there's a book here. It must have recorded the history of the treasure. ” The Si Kong opened the book and read, while he read with a happy expression on his face. He read a page or two and said to the crowd: ”The details of the record are written here.” This Treasure Chest is called the 'Universe Box'. The Treasure Chest's lock was called the 'Yin Yang Nine Revolutions Seven Stars Lock'. A set of eight treasures was called ”International purple-white plate”. This Treasure Chest was also known as the 'World Land'. It was half of the full set. It recorded the rise and fall of the Chinese dynasties. ”On one side, there were records of the Yan Huang Empire and the Yan Shun Zen Empire; on the other, there were records of the Nu Nu Heaven Restoration, Shang Tang Xia Extinguish, and Wu Wang Zhou; on the other, Zhou Fengtian was recorded as one of the four great prefectures, the four great prefectures of Qin Unification; on the other, the rise and fall of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the four great prefectures of Yuan Unification.” Si Kong then handed the book back to Fa Ming and said: ”There are words on this book that you can't see clearly. Fa Ming took the book and looked carefully. So the treasure was stored in the Chaoyang Temple, and there was an unusual history behind it.
Early in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the Ming army attacked most of Beijing. The last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Shundi Tuohuan Te, was chased by the Ming army and fled to the northeast. In a hurry, Shun Di had already brought ”International purple-white plate” with him.
Before the Shun Emperor left, he set up a suspicious formation and split his troops into two. Shun Di brought his second wife's carriage, along with many officials in the civil and military ranks. They were escorted by the chief general of the imperial guards, Tu Yuhun. Shundi intended to stop at Shenyang in order to regroup. They travelled day and night for several days and nights, but they could not bear the tiredness and went to the ancient city of Liao Yang to rest for the night.
The next day at daybreak, the Ming army's generals had already caught up with them in the spring. Liaoyang garrison generals immediately led troops to fight against the Ming army. The battle was still going on in the south of the city. Shun Di was so frightened that he immediately brought his men out of the north gate and ran towards Shen Yang. He had just arrived in Shenyang and was sitting unsteadily. Liao Yang reported his defeat: Chun Yong was unstoppable. He had already broken through Liao Yang City and was killing his way towards Shen Yang.
When Shun Di saw that General Shen Yang was old and had less than 20,000 handicapped soldiers, that his forces were not comparable to Liaoyang, and that it was even more difficult for him to resist the Ming army, he brought his men out of Shen Yang in panic, intending to use the new citizens and the new citizens to flee to the desert.
Shundi's troops left the new citizens and headed west. The more they went, the narrower the road became. In the end, the people in front of him were sparse, the yellow sand covered the ground, and as far as the eye could see, it looked desolate. The victor was the king, and the loser was the bandit. It was hard to predict what would happen next. There was no end to the desert. Emperor Shun's heart was filled with grief. The officials of the civil and military officials were all in a miserable state. Emperor Shun, riding on his horse, looked back at the carriage of his second wife, who had been jolted into tears. In this bleak and miserable situation, he really wanted to commit suicide. Shun Di took out his treasured sword and said to the empress dowager, ”I, Tuohuan Te, am useless! I made you suffer with me. ” After he finished speaking, Heng Jian wanted to commit suicide. Tu Yuhun was riding on his back, she anxiously jumped off the horse and snatched his treasured sword, trying to advise him.
All the officials knelt down and advised, ”Hail, you can't be short-sighted. You have to think about your ancestors and ancestors. They were so valiant and invincible. How awe-inspiring were they? ”You are their descendant, so you must keep them alive in order to reunite.” All of the imperial concubines were also crying in fear as they tried to persuade her.
The empress said, ”Your Majesty, we have not reached the end of the line. Although the inner part of the pass has been occupied by the Ming army, we still have to go outside. Northeast, Tibet, the Western Regions, and the Great Desert. We still have half the strength to confront the Ming army. ”Restoring the land of the land is not impossible.” Emperor Shundi seemed to wake up from a dream and steeled his resolve once again.
Shundi's brows furrowed as he gritted his teeth and said, ”Esteemed officials, please rise.” That was my fault. Seeing you guys suffer with me is also a moment of guilt. ” Everyone got up from the ground. Shun Di suddenly thought of the 'international purple-white plate' and said to Tu Yuhun. ”In my haste, I forgot everything. I actually disobeyed the late emperor's decree.”
Tu Yuhun was confused, and said in shock: ”Long live you! This is because of the constant pursuit of spring, we have no choice. So what if we have some bitterness? Besides, victory or defeat was a common occurrence in the military. The ancestors were invincible. They had fought three times in the past and had lost two times in the past. Don't blame yourself. ”
