"In fact, there is another theory that Genghis Khan was struck to death by lightning. A papal envoy to Mongolia discovered that lightning accidents occurred frequently in Mongolia, resulting in many deaths. For this reason, Mongolians are very afraid of thunder and lightning.
, there is another saying that the death of Genghis Khan’s mother, Genghis Khan seems to be very
I don't care about it very much and feel that I am unfilial, so I never go out during thunder and lightning weather to prevent being hit by lightning." Qinggeltai said: "In fact, there is no reason why Mongolians must be afraid of thunder and lightning. Like us, it is not enough to go out often during thunder and lightning weather.
Odd, if Genghis Khan was afraid of thunder and lightning, I don’t quite agree with that.”
Being struck to death by lightning? Ashamed of his mother? Bai Yi and Tang Sancheng looked at each other. Genghis Khan wanted his mother not to return home after her death. She was in a different place and had to contribute to his grand cause. Only if he felt at ease.
It's strange, but Bai Yi knows a little about Qinggeltai's statement. In the "Black Tartar Story" written by Peng Daya in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is recorded that "whenever the Tartars hear the thunder, they will cover their ears and bend down to the ground, as if to hide."
The Tatars here refer to the Mongols. It seems that in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolians were famous for their fear of thunder and lightning. It is not uncommon to hide their ears, but to bend to the ground is too exaggerated. Bai Yi mused, Genghis Khan
I'm afraid only those at the scene will know how he died.
"There is another way to die, which is poisoning." Miyashita Shunichi said excitedly: "You know Marco Polo, right?"
Marco Polo, a world-famous traveler and businessman from Italy in the 13th century. When he was 17 years old, he followed his father and uncle through the Middle East and arrived in the Mongolian Empire in more than four years. He traveled in China for 17 years,
He visited many ancient cities in China at that time and went to the southwest
Yunnan and the southeastern region of central China. After returning to Venice, he wrote the famous "Marco Polo's Travels" to record his experiences in China, the richest country in the East, which aroused Europeans' interest in the East.
The enthusiastic yearning had a huge impact on the opening of new shipping routes in the future.
He went to the northern capital of the Yuan Dynasty and met Kublai Khan at that time. The clever Marco Polo quickly learned Mongolian and Chinese, gained Kublai Khan's trust, and even stayed with him.
After becoming an official, he took the opportunity of touring various places on the orders of the Great Khan and traveled across the mountains and rivers of China. He was stunned by the vastness and wealth of China.
He has been to Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Beijing. He has also been on mission to Vietnam, Myanmar and Sumatra. Everywhere he went, he always wanted to
He investigated the local customs, geography, and people in detail. After returning to Dadu, he made a detailed report to Kublai Khan.
This is the man who mentioned the cause of Genghis Khan's death in his "Marco Polo's Travels". Although he did not go to Mongolia during the reign of Genghis Khan, he spent a lot of time in the Yuan Dynasty and might have heard some news.
He asked for confirmation, but he believed that Genghis Khan actually died of poisoning.
"Marco Polo's Travels" mentioned that when he attacked Taijin and besieged Taijin, his knee was unfortunately hit by a poisonous arrow shot by a Xixia soldier. As you can imagine, the poisonous arrow hit his heart and his injuries became more serious.
I'm sorry." Miyashita Junichi said: "But he only heard about it and has not seen it with his own eyes. Whether it is worth believing or not is another matter."
Bai Yi said: "There are other folk legends that Genghis Khan did die of poisoning, but he was not poisoned by the poisonous arrows of the Xixia soldiers, but poisoned by the captured Xixia Princess Gulbarzin Guoorhatun. At that time, this There is another theory that a Xixia princess took advantage of the fact that she was sleeping with him, which is even more shocking. It is said that the princess bit off Genghis Khan’s lifeblood and caused his death.”
"More than that, there are many opinions about this Xixia princess," Liu Zhixi said: "According to Mongolian folklore, when Genghis Khan's army attacked Xixia, the soldiers captured the beautiful Xixia princess Gulboljin Guo'ohatun. As a tribute to Genghis Khan. On the first night she slept with him, the Xixia princess stabbed Genghis Khan who had relaxed his vigilance. The story of the stabbing originated from the book "The Origin of Mongolia" which was written in the first year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty. This book is very precious and will be published 100 years later. , that is, in 1766, Prince Chenggun Zhabu of the Mongolian Khalkha tribe presented the manuscript of this book to Emperor Qianlong as a gift. Qianlong had it translated into Manchu and Chinese, and titled it "The Origin of Drinking in Mongolia" ", included in "Sikuquanshu". It should be said that the story of Genghis Khan's assassination is very credible. After all, the authority of "Sikuquanshu" lies here."
Qinggeltai kept listening to them and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face: "Of what you said, only Professor Liu's last statement is more credible. The rest are just Mongolian folk legends. As for the Xixia Princess, There are no historical documents at that time that record the capture of the Xixia princess. There are only legends, and they are only mentioned in the "Golden History of Mongolia", which was written approximately between 1627 and 1634. "Origin" is also known as the three major historical documents in Mongolian."
"The genealogy of the Golden Family?" Bai Yi immediately thought of the Genealogy of the Golden Family mentioned by Bart and Baoyin.
"No, I have also heard of the genealogy you mentioned. That copy is not open to the public. Because I am not a descendant of the Golden Family, I have never seen it. However, Xixia is indeed mentioned in this compendium. Princess, it is said that she is extremely beautiful and Genghis Khan indeed coveted her."
"Is she the woman on the wall?" Hero Inoue said suddenly.
Everyone who was immersed in the conversation saw Hero Inoue standing in front of a sculpture. Shen Bing exclaimed about this sculpture: "Isn't this pure gold?"
This is a red gold sculpture of a woman. Judging from her clothes, she is indeed dressed like a woman from the Xixia Kingdom. Her expression is sad, her eyes are staring straight ahead, and she is a little helpless. Inoue Hero keeps circling this statue, with a look on her face. The look he showed was very unusual: "I heard that weapons made of red gold are invincible."
This guy, when he was on the ground just now, mentioned Akane, Inoue Hero didn't say a word, as if he didn't know anything about Akane, but now... Bai Yi thought of the conversation between Suzuki and Matsumoto, and felt more and more sorry for Inoue Hero. Alert.
This place is thirty meters higher than the one above. The left and right sides are still mainly made of stone carvings, but there is this sculpture in the place where they are staying. Judging from her dress, it is most likely the sculpture that everyone mentioned just now. Princess of Xixia.
"Bone wall." Tang Sancheng suddenly said in a daze, "It's a bone wall..."
Behind the red gold statue, the color of the wall suddenly changed. The densely packed bones on the walls on both sides reminded Tang Sancheng of what he saw last time. The Golden Eagle Order's torture chamber was also located here. There was also a bone wall here...
"Damn it!" Cong Yang cursed as soon as he saw those bone walls: "Shen Bing, his limbs were chopped off..."
Shen Bing felt a little nauseous when she thought about her dream. Fortunately, she was helped by Fu Yu beside her. Shen Bing whispered: "Fu Yu, it seems that my dream is true. Someone's limbs were really cut off. But, what I saw
The statue is not this one, it should be that of Genghis Khan himself."
"Don't be impatient. Let's go over and take a closer look." Seeing Shen Bing's timidity, Fu Yu simply held her hand: "What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't seen her before."
Hero Inoue was stunned. He stood there stupidly, almost unable to believe his eyes. The bone wall, this was a real wall made of bones!
Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi had already walked to the bone wall. Bai Yi carefully looked at the structure of these bones, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "These are not just calf bones, they are different from those in the Golden Eagle Order torture chamber.
There is no special mark of the Golden Eagle Order, and these are mainly skeletons of limbs, but some are skulls. These are all built up on the wall and are not arranged. These people are probably Shen Bing who was killed in his dream.
Those people.”
Shen Bing also walked over and smelled the smell emanating from these bones. Looking at these blue and white bones, she felt a discomfort in her stomach and forced herself to endure it. This bone wall was the same as other parts of the wall, it was thirty years old.
Meters high, as for the length, if you look forward, you can't see the end under the current light conditions.
Cong Yang looked at these bones and twitched his nose: "These bones still have skin and flesh parts, as well as other parts. They must still be somewhere here. We have to continue searching. Also, Nari has been missing.
,Didn’t he come in?”
"The golden silk net just now, if he came in, he wouldn't be able to get down." Qinggeltai said: "He may have gotten lost here."
Tang Sancheng didn't believe it. He might have come in, but he just abandoned Nari's body. He couldn't enter with his physical body, but his spiritual power was different. With Hesar's skill, he could come in and out freely. So Nari was not seen nearby just now.
, Tang Sancheng was lost in thought, and Hero Inoue couldn't wait to move forward: "This place is incredible, only he can do such a thing! He must be here, right here!"
Hero Inoue ran forward like crazy, Bai Yi shouted: "Come back, it's dangerous here!"
How dare Inoue Hero listen to him? He disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. Miyashita Junichi sneered: "Some people just can't wait to seek death."
"He is your companion after all, how could you do this?" Shen Bing couldn't help but choked.
Miyashita Junichi said: "In my opinion, you can indeed be described as companions, but between me and him, does he really regard me as a companion?"
Shen Bing was speechless for a moment, but at this moment, Hero Inoue's screams were heard, each one more horrifying than the last. Not only Tang Sancheng, but others also heard it clearly. Takeda Dosan said: "Let's go and have a look."
