Chapter 20 Chapter 19 Long Live Cave

"Damn! I heard it!" Er Xia almost jumped up, opened his eyes and whispered softly, "I heard it! Huanzi, how could it be this voice, why does it sound like the emperor is going up!" I tried my best not to let myself tremble, and the voice still echoed in my ears, an unusually clear voice: "Long live! Long live! Long live..." It was so real and loud that I had to believe my ears. At this time, everyone heard the content, without exception, there was nothing other than shock written on everyone's face. "There's a ghost!" Amao screamed, and Heizi looked at us nervously and said, "The Snake Emperor is going up! The sound of the Snake Emperor going up!"

Ayan and I looked at each other, and I asked Heizi: "Is this the sound of the Snake Emperor going to court in your legend? Could it be that the Snake Emperor's palace is located nearby?" Heizi replied: "This is already close to the main gate of the imperial city. Now, the Snake Emperor's palace should be within this range, underground." "Under the ground?" I was shocked. Could it be that there is really an underground palace here?Good guy!If it were to be so big, I would not know how spectacular it would be. There are several imperial tombs of this size in Chinese history!Could it be that my previous guesswork was still correct?

Among them, Liu Shisan and Hong Ge seemed the calmest, they looked around, Liu Shisan said: "Let's look for the source of the sound first, it must be caused by some special structure, you know the shocking manger in Yunnan. Well, I think this thing is a bit like that!" This startling manger is a famous place in Yunnan. This happened in Shalin Scenic Area, Luliang County, Yunnan Province. In the late 1980s, residents living nearby, in a deep valley, In thundery and rainy weather, you can often hear sounds like weapons clashing and war horses neighing. The locals call them "yin soldiers crossing the road".The appearance of the strange sound was widely circulated in the local area, and the villagers said that all this was related to a war in the Three Kingdoms period.

It is said that during the Kingdom of China, Zhuge Liang led his army south to Luliang.One day, the Shu army and the Nanman king Meng Huo's army fought at Zhanmapo.This time, Meng Huo specially invited King Mulu, the master of Bana Cave, who is proficient in spells, to come to help out.King Mulu who came to Zhanmapo ordered his officers and soldiers to dig two mountain roads less than 40 meters long and less than one meter wide, and led the Shu army to this place.After the whining horn sounded, tigers, leopards, wolves and other strange troops came out with the wind, and the Shu army had no power to resist, and retreated into the valley one after another.But at this moment, an accident happened. The Shu army suddenly fell from the horse, and the Nanman army took the opportunity to chase and kill them. The Shu army suffered heavy casualties.Since then, ghosts have lingered here, and there are often strange noises.

Since then, this mountain road has been named Shocking Manger, and the locals have been in awe of it for a long time. Every time they pass by, they will worship, praying for blessings to pass smoothly.In fact, it has been confirmed by scientific investigation that this is an acoustic phenomenon caused by a special terrain structure. The occurrence of this kind of phenomenon has strict requirements on the terrain and environment. Liu Shisan’s remarks reminded me that although this place is still far away from the Jingmanger in Luliang County, the terrain is relatively similar. They are all sunken dams. There must be a condition for this phenomenon to occur, that is, the rocks here contain a lot of magnetism, so there must be a strong magnetic field around them.

I tentatively took out the compass, tested it back and forth a few times, and found that the pointer of the compass was disordered, and the Nikkei lost its function. There was indeed a strong magnetic field here. "Master Liu! It's a bit like the scary manger you mentioned. The terrain and structure here are very similar to that place. You see, the compass doesn't work anymore!" I said to Liu Shisan. With similar conditions, it is concluded that this is the same principle as the startling manger. Now I say this to a large extent to appease everyone. Then I explained my understanding to everyone, and everyone was secretly relieved.

After Er Xia finished listening, he said again: "Huanzi! You mean this thing is equivalent to a large natural tape recorder, but it must have a sound source, which means that there was really an emperor who went to court hundreds of years ago. Not to mention the quality of this tape recorder is really strong, it has been hundreds of years and it has not yet reached the end of life!" Heizi stepped forward and said, "Hearing what you said, I remembered something told by an old man in the village when I was young!" Everyone immediately turned their eyes to him again, and Heizi continued: "I also heard from the old people that there is a cave in the deep mountain. One day, a woodcutter came here and heard someone talking in the cave. , ran over to look curiously. He actually saw a man who looked like an emperor, and a group of ministers were worshiping and shouting 'Long live'. Look again, those people have already left, and this cave was later called the Long Live Cave.”

After finishing speaking, Er Xia followed up and said: "Long Live Cave? Hey! It really looks like that, there really is an emperor going to court! However, this emperor is not in the palace, so it is too miserable to go to court in this cave Come on! Heizi! That person you mentioned didn't see the Snake Emperor!" Heizi replied: "I don't know." Ah Yan asked him: "When did you hear this and what dynasty?" Guessed something. A Yan said: "The emperor is so honorable. If he is so wronged that he can only hide in the cave in the deep mountain to deal with the matter, then he must be in trouble. I think it is very likely that the emperor is in this place." !"

"Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty!" I blurted out, Ah Yan nodded, and Liu Shisan also thoughtfully said: "This person is indeed very likely! At that time, the Qing army and Wu Sangui were chasing him so hard, He may have fled to Burma from here!" Emperor Yongli was the last emperor of Nanming. After Li Baicheng’s peasant army captured Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain. The clans of the Ming Dynasty in the south called themselves Jianguo or simply called themselves emperors. Some anti-Qing forces in the south supported Wanli. The emperor's grandson, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor of Apocalypse, and Zhu Youlang, cousin of Emperor Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen, were the emperor, known as "Emperor Yongli" in history.

However, the position of the emperor was too unstable for this person. The Qing army attacked all the way within a few days. They were handed over to Wu Sangui, and finally hanged at the Jinchan Temple in Kunming. If there is an emperor in the cave here, it is very likely that the emperor who is fleeing hastily organized ministers to discuss countermeasures, but this is just a guess, and it cannot be concluded that it is this one. Mao Jindao said: "Is there any relationship between the Emperor Yongli of Nanming and the Snake Emperor? Isn't there a local rumor that the Tartars are coming, and the Snake Emperor will come out? Don't you think this seems to be a coincidence in terms of time?"

Er Xia said: "It's easy to explain. Emperor Yongli may have fled to this place. The local people are more loyal to him. In order to prevent the Qing army and Wu Sangui from pursuing, we made up these things to scare them. In order to keep Emperor Yongli , after all, he is the emperor of our Han people." Liu Shisan said: "The problem will not be so simple. If it is just fabricated, there will not be so many bizarre things. Besides, how to explain the underground giant gate and snake palace, and after research, it does exist here. over the dynasty." I also think that things are not that simple, but maybe the Snake Emperor has nothing to do with Emperor Yongli, it's just because of the combination of so many circumstances at the moment, we just thought of them together.According to official history, Emperor Yongli fled all the way, finally entered Burma, and was later killed in Kunming. There is absolutely no reason to have the experience of establishing such a huge dynasty in this deep mountain and dense forest. I suddenly remembered something, and said to everyone: "Our echo was very clear just now. If this Long Live Cave really exists, it is probably not far from where we are now. I think we should look for it?" A few people's opinions, in fact, our main purpose at the moment is to find the Snake Palace. I don't know if there is any relationship between the Longevity Cave and the Snake Palace. I can't guarantee the significance of our search for this cave. Liu Shisan replied: "Since there is such a legend, it's better to take a look. Maybe there is some connection among them. It seems that we have to hurry up!" After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled us to prepare for action. It's already dark all around, I think everyone wants to have a good sleep at this moment, who knows that my suggestion made me even have no chance to rest, I don't know if it will cause public anger. Through the hazy night, I saw Er Xia's face, and carefully teased him: "What? Er Xia! Didn't you just say that I'm weak and you want to drink old turtle soup to make up for me? Now it's my turn. You need to make up for it!" Er Xia said dissatisfiedly: "No one can make up now, I said Huanzi, you said this old guy is energetic enough, and he doesn't feel tired after walking for a long time! To tell you the truth, my two legs are about to break Already!" I said to him: "Second shrimp! Get your spirits up! This road may have been traveled by our Chinese expeditionary force back then. Don't forget, General Dai Anlan, General Sun Liren of the expeditionary force, and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force General Wei Lihuang, we are all from Guanyue Lake. They fought bravely and beat the kid to the ground. How honorable we are! The girl didn’t even say a word. Get up, the countless soldiers of the expeditionary army are with us!" As I spoke, my emotions became agitated, and my voice was raised a lot, echoing around, and soon the echo of "Long Live" came again. I was so excited, it seemed to have some effect, Er Xia immediately straightened his back: "Okay! Hearing what you said, I seem to be full of strength suddenly, we have to fully learn from our fellow villagers." Brave fighting spirit!" After speaking, it seemed that he still didn't feel satisfied, and he yelled again towards the surroundings. Soon, there was a clearer echo from the surroundings: "Long live! Long live! Long live..."
