Chapter 520 Location
After unraveling the secret in the Luban box, Yang Jing could no longer hold back.

Although Yang Jing is more than [-]% sure that the clues recorded in the silk in the box point to the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, the question is where is the "Yuecheng View" marked in this picture?

The only thing Yang Jing can be sure of now is that the location of this picture is definitely in Huaxia, but Huaxia has grown up, where can I find this Yuecheng Temple?

Not to mention that this picture was painted more than 1000 years ago. At that time, there was a Taoist temple called Yuecheng Temple, but what about now?

At present, there are only a handful of Taoist temples in China that can preserve the Taoist temples from the previous year, and those are very large-scale Taoist temples. The Taoist temple in the painting, which looks not much bigger than ordinary houses, must not be preserved for a thousand years.

If you want to find such a small Taoist temple in the long history of thousands of years, the difficulty is no lower than finding a needle in a haystack.

The seductive power of Chuan Guoxi is unquestionable, even if it is just a clue, it is enough to make Yang Jing unable to sleep.

Through identification skills, Yang Jing already knew that this picture was also made by Yue Chengzi, and that it was drawn three years later than the time when the Luban box was made. It was painted in 936, and this year happened to be the year when Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, threw himself on fire while holding the Chuan Guoxi Seal.

What does this time difference indicate?

Yang Jing who couldn't sleep sat up from the bed, pushed open the window of the bedroom, and the cold night wind rushed in from outside, making Yang Jing shiver involuntarily.

After lighting a cigarette, Yang Jing looked at the dimly lit Manhattan below, but his eyes did not stay on any building for even a second.Maybe it was the stimulation of the tobacco, or maybe it was the cold wind blowing on his face, Yang Jing's originally irritable mood gradually calmed down, and his mind gradually became clearer.

"This Yuechengzi must have something to do with Li Congke!" Yang Jing said to himself, "Li Congke respects Taoism, and Yuechengzi is a Taoist priest. There is a great possibility that there is a direct connection between the two."

Yang Jing returned to the desk, picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the desk, wrote down the names of "Li Congke" and "Yuechengzi", and then wrote a letter under the two names. "Luban box".

"According to the production process of this Luban box, it is enough to show that Yuechengzi is a very powerful Taoist priest. Such a complicated Luban box mechanism cannot be made without two brushes. The most important thing is to make this box. The main material is silver, and in that era, ordinary Taoist priests probably couldn't afford such expensive silver, right?"

Yang Jing knew that before the Ming Dynasty, China was short of silver. Silver is a very expensive precious metal. Although it is not as valuable as gold, its value far exceeds the exchange ratio between copper coins and silver at that time.

In the Later Tang Dynasty, China was also short of silver, and the Luban box in his hand weighed about 3.5 kilograms. According to the exchange of one tael of silver in the Later Tang Dynasty for one copper coin, that is, one thousand copper coins, 16 taels per catty, this If the weight of the Luban box is converted into the weight of the Tang Dynasty, it is about five catties (one catty in the Tang Dynasty is 680 grams), that is to say, this box alone can be exchanged for 80 taels of silver and [-] copper coins.In the later Tang Dynasty, the ratio of silver to copper coins was even higher, so the silver used to make this Luban box can be exchanged for almost [-] copper coins.

An ordinary Taoist priest probably couldn't come up with so much copper coins in those days, let alone use them to make a Luban box.

"This Yuechengzi should be highly valued by Li Congke, otherwise he would not have used silver to make this Luban box extravagantly! Even this Yuechengzi might have served as a high-ranking official of Li Congke during the Qing Dynasty!"

This is not Yang Jing's random guess. Taoist priests were very popular in the Tang Dynasty.And Li Congke worshiped Taoism, maybe he met this Yuechengzi somewhere, and this Yuechengzi did have some skills, so he was valued by Li Congke, and it was not a big deal that Li Congke was entrusted with important tasks after he became the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty. possible things.

"Only this Yuechengzi had a certain status in the Qingtai period of the later Tang Dynasty, so he would use silver doped with other metals to make this Luban box." Yang Jing talked to himself while writing the words "Yuechengzi" on paper Next to the name was written the words "Senior Qingtai Official".

Qingtai is the year name of Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

"The box was made three years earlier than the silk silk, but why are those eight characters written on the silk silk?" Yang Jing rubbed his brows in distress. Write those eight characters on the picture.

"Could it be that Yue Chengzi found the Chuanguo Yuxi after Li Congke set himself on fire and extinguished the fire? Then he secretly hid it? Well! This is not impossible, and it seems very likely! "After thinking for a long time, Yang Jing could only use this reason to explain.

But after going around and around, I still have to go around to where the "Yuecheng Temple" is.

Yang Jing looked at the piece of paper that was drawn into a mess, and could only helplessly roll the paper into a ball, and then threw it into the wastebasket.

After thinking about it, Yang Jing could only sink his consciousness into the storage space again, and opened the picture to observe carefully.

"Don't worry about Yuecheng Temple, the most obvious marks of this picture are the sixteen peaks and the big river!" Yang Jing left the storage after imprinting this picture deeply in his mind. space, and then roughly drew the picture from a piece of paper.

Yang Jing intends to look up information about "Sixteen Mountains" on the Internet, but in this day and age, where is the Internet?Even if there is, there is no geographical data of Huaxia in the United States today.

In desperation, Yang Jing tore up the piece of paper again and threw it into the wastebasket.
Early the next morning, Yang Jing came to the office of KY Investment Fund and called together a group of executives for a meeting. At the meeting, Yang Jing focused on explaining next year's investment intentions and the acquisition of Hartford National The meeting ended after the incident with the two banks, the Arlington Trust.After Yang Jing bid farewell to Mike Aller, he walked out of the office building and found a place where no one was around, and traveled directly back to the original time and space.

After returning to Tianqu, Yang Jing returned home immediately, then turned on the computer and began to search.

Du Niang entered some key words such as "Sixteen Mountains" in the search bar, and Du Niang immediately displayed many entries related to "Sixteen Mountains".Among them, the most is Changbai Mountain.

After clicking an entry to enter, sure enough, the most famous thing about Changbai Mountain besides the Tianchi Lake is the sixteen peaks surrounding the Tianchi Lake.

Whether it is an introduction or a picture, it is clear that the sixteen peaks surrounding Tianchi Lake are one of the most famous scenic spots in Changbai Mountain.

It's a pity that Yang Jing directly rejected Changbai Mountain.

The era of Yuechengzi appeared in the Later Tang Dynasty, and in the Later Tang Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was still a barren land. The most important thing is that when Li Congke was the emperor, the capital of the country was in Luoyang.

In the later Tang Dynasty, it was no different than now. It took more than two hours to fly from Luoyang to Changbai Mountain, and even if it took a train, it took dozens of hours.In the post-Tang era, if you want to go from Changbai Mountain to Luoyang, you can't even think about it if you don't have two or three months.

Obviously, Li Congke would not find a Taoist priest from Changbai Mountain to serve as his high-ranking official.

In other words, the Taoist priest Yuechengzi should be a Taoist priest who was born near Luoyang.This also happens to be able to prove the area where Taoism flourished at that time.

Whether it is Wangwu Mountain or Zhongtiao Mountain around Luoyang, they are all areas where Taoism is extremely prosperous.Even before Li Congke became emperor, he was the King Lu who stayed in Xijing (Chang'an), and the Qinling Mountains near Chang'an was also an area where Taoism was extremely prosperous.

In other words, there is a great possibility that this Yuechengzi came from the mountainous areas around Chang'an or Luoyang!

Unfortunately, there are too many mountains in this area. Like Luoyang, there are Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain in the north, Waifang Mountain in the south, Song Mountain and Mang Mountain in the west, Xiao Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain in the east. In the embrace of mountains.

As for Chang'an, there are even more mountains around it, the Qinling Mountains alone is enough!
With so many mountains, where can I find a mountain with sixteen peaks?

Yang Jing opened Google Maps, faced with a piece of green representing mountains, his face was full of pain, his right hand subconsciously controlled the wheel of the mouse, making the map of ideas on the screen expand and shrink, and then changed from satellite and terrain Constant transitions between graphs.

Suddenly, Yang Jing's eyes were attracted by a big river on the map - it was the mother river of China, the Yellow River.

"That's right, isn't there a big river in that picture?" Yang Jing was so excited that he almost scratched his head. Why did he forget such an important clue just now?
With the sixteen peaks and the big river in the valley, it is obviously impossible to be near Chang'an.Although there is the Weihe River to the north of the Qinling Mountains, the Weihe River is still a little far away from the Qinling Mountains. It is impossible for the big river to roar through the valley as shown in the painting.

Then the only ones who meet the conditions are around Luoyang.

After the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang turned from the natural barrier Tongguan to the east, hasn't it been shuttling through the mountains?After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to control the Yellow River, the government also successively built two large-scale water conservancy projects in this section of the river - SMX Reservoir and Xiaolangdi Project.

Yang Jing immediately expanded the electronic map again, looking at this section of the Yellow River, the more interesting it became.

Then, after Yang Jing entered a few other key words from Du Niang's search bar, Du Niang's answer made him immediately beam with joy.
