Chapter 420: The Eighth Generation Heir of Touching Gold, Liu Ba
Liu Shiba stared silently at the Grand Canyon not far away, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and then looked down at the 4a printing paper in his hand.
There are nine points in the inner circle, including eight points where the ghost train appears, surrounding the valley in front of you, forming a pattern of eight dragons carrying coffins.
The four outer points are Mount Everest, the Egyptian Pyramids, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Qinling Tombs.
These four approximate coordinate points seemed to have no connection with each other, but! Liu Shiba knew that there must be some connection among these four points.
Liu Shiba stretched out his hand and made a gesture. The center of the four points was the blank Indian Ocean. Therefore, it was definitely incorrect to decrypt it using the center points.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Liu Shiba didn't intend to delve into it any further.
All I can think about now is the canyon in front of me, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Why is there a Feng Shui pattern of eight dragons carrying coffins in Ukraine, which is far away from China?
Which Feng Shui master has traveled thousands of miles to come here and mess around?
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba turned back and looked at Zheng Liyuan.
Zheng Liyuan is a top student, and she is definitely more proficient in some historical things than Liu Shiba.
"Zheng Liyuan, let me ask you a question."
Liu Shiba asked.
"Huh? You ask."
Zheng Liyuan looked pale and rolled her eyes at Liu Shiba.
"Ukraine, in the distant ancient times, did any Chinese live here?"
Liu Shiba frowned and asked.
Zheng Liyuan was startled when she heard this, bit her lower lip, and recalled:
"Absolutely not. China's farthest sphere of influence is only in the Yaksa area of the Heilongjiang River Basin."
After saying this, Zheng Liyuan paused, her eyes lit up and she said:
"But! In history, there was a dynasty that truly conquered the entire Eurasian continent, including Russia, Siberia, and Ukraine."
"oh?"
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this, and then he and Liu Qian said in unison: "Yuan Dynasty? Genghis Khan?"
Zheng Liyuan nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, it was the Yuan Dynasty. In 1219 AD, Genghis Khan led the Mongolian army to the west.
On May 31, 1223, the Mongolian army and the Russian army clashed for the first time, and Russia was defeated.
In 1243, Genghis Khan's son Batu finally conquered powerful Russia.
This was the beginning of Mongol complete rule over Russia, which ended in 1480."
At this time, Liu Shiba's eyes flashed with a light, and he said strangely:
"What about Ukraine? Was it also under Mongolia's control back then?"
Zheng Liyuan nodded affirmatively and said:
"certainly."
Liu Shiba didn't stop for a moment and continued to ask:
“Where is Genghis Khan’s tomb?”
Zheng Liyuan was stunned by Liu Shiba's sharp turn of questioning, and paused before answering:
“It is said that Genghis Khan’s true burial place has not been found so far.
In the past, some joint expeditions announced that they had found Genghis Khan's tomb, but they were later proven to be wrong."
Liu Shiba nodded, looked back at Liu Qian and said:
"Make a fire, cook, and fill your stomach."
After saying that, Liu Shiba took out a stainless steel pan from his backpack, and also took out a whole box of instant noodles which was still on the ground.
As if something was missing, Liu Shiba took out another piece of lunch meat, about half a catty.
Liu Qian and Zheng Liyuan looked at the things on the ground with dumbfounded eyes, and then looked at the backpack on Liu Shiba's back.
When were these things put in?
………………
Half an hour later, Liu Shiba, Liu Qian, Qin Da, and Zheng Liyuan were sitting in a hidden corner behind the hill.
The four of them were holding simple paper bowls and slurping down the boiled instant noodles.
After running away for three or four days in the wilderness, being able to sit down and eat a bowl of hot food is the greatest enjoyment.
Liu Shiba, Liu Qian, and Qin Da were naturally not very particular about their food. They would pick it up three times and pour a few bowls of noodles into their stomachs.
After Qin Da finished eating, he wiped his mouth and consciously patrolled around with a dagger!
Liu Shiba's face was full of contentment. He lay down on the ground full of dead branches, happily lit a big Chinese stick, and threw one to Liu Qian, who was staring at him eagerly.
Zheng Liyuan eats elegantly, as if the instant noodles in her hand are some kind of high-end food. It is not something ordinary people can do to make instant noodles taste like Western food.
"call!"
Liu Qian blew out a puff of smoke, looked sideways at Liu Shiba and asked:
"I'm asking something that I shouldn't ask. Do you plan to go into that canyon to have a look? I think you guessed that this is the tomb of Genghis Khan?"
Liu Shiba nodded solemnly and said:
"Let's go and have a look after eating and drinking. As for whether it's true or not, no one knows. Only by going in can we be sure."
Liu Qian nodded and said in confusion:
"There is the famous Gate of Hell in the canyon. Every year there are many people who come here to see strange things or explore, but I haven't seen anyone discover anything extraordinary."
"snort!"
Liu Shiba snorted coldly and said with a smile:
"You are wrong. What makes me suspicious is not the gate to hell, but the mountains surrounding it on all sides, or the Feng Shui pattern of the eight dragons carrying the coffin."
Zheng Liyuan was eating small noodles and couldn't help but add:
"I don't understand what you're talking about about Feng Shui, but I know this is something created by the Chinese. How could it come to Ukraine?"
Liu Shiba smiled and explained:
"That's right! This is what I don't understand, but didn't Genghis Khan conquer this place before?
Moreover, no one has found the tomb of Genghis Khan for more than 800 years, so I suspect it is here.
As for the Feng Shui formation, we cannot rule out that Chinese Feng Shui masters were involved in the construction plan of this huge ancient tomb."
Liu Qian smiled and said:
"Yes, there were many strange people from the Central Plains in the Yuan Dynasty's army.
I remember that in a TV series, it was stated that when the Yuan Dynasty’s army attacked Xiangfan, there were people from the Central Plains who helped them.”
Hearing what Liu Qian said, Liu Shiba was stunned, sat up and said in confusion:
"When the Yuan Dynasty attacked Xiangfan, were Han people helping them? Do you know who they were?"
"You know, people who have read history basically have some impression."
Liu Qian smiled reservedly.
After some recollection, Liu Qian explained:
"Actually! It was not Genghis Khan who destroyed the Song Dynasty, but his grandson Kublai Khan.
Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent at that time, but unfortunately they did not destroy the Song Dynasty and dominate the world.
After Genghis Khan, Ogedai Khan, Guyuk Khan, Mengge Khan and other great emperors, although they repeatedly launched attacks on the Song Dynasty, they did not destroy the unification of the Song Dynasty.
In the end, Kublai Khan achieved unification and established the Yuan Dynasty. Compared with his predecessors, Kublai Khan was very different in terms of ideas, strategies, and personnel.
The most important thing is that he reused Han people and reformed the old Mongolian system, and his methods were relatively progressive.
However, the formation of Kublai Khan's thoughts is inseparable from three Han people, monk Zicong, Yao Shu and Hao Jing."
"oh!"
Liu Shiba responded dumbly and nodded in understanding.
At this time, Zheng Liyuan, who had finished eating the noodles, added: "Among them, Monk Zicong is the most famous!"
Liu Shiba turned his eyes and said in confusion:
"Famous? Where exactly is it reflected?"
Zheng Liyuan smiled delicately, wiped her bright little mouth, and explained: "Monk Zicong, his family name is Liu, his given name is Kan, and his courtesy name is Zhonghui. After he became an official, he changed his name to Liu Bingzhong.
Historical records say that Liu Bingzhong was a man of extraordinary character, heroic and unruly in ambition. At the age of seventeen, he was appointed the Lingshi of the Xingtai Jiedushi Mansion, making him a child prodigy.
Liu Bingzhong was a man of great erudition, and was proficient in astronomy, geography, laws and regulations, and was especially knowledgeable in the Book of Changes.
Because he knew everything about the world, Kublai Khan loved Liu Bingzhong very much.
Speaking of which, Liu Bingzhong was the first Han Confucian scholar recruited by Kublai Khan, and he was also one of the most trusted people."
After hearing Zheng Liyuan's explanation, Liu Shiba rolled over and stood up, his eyes widened, and he said stupidly:
"Are you sure that Monk Zicong's family name is Liu and his given name is Kan?"
Zheng Liyuan nodded in confusion and said:
"Yes, this monk Zicong was very famous at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and is recorded in history books."
Liu Shiba was dumbfounded, ignoring the surprised Liu Qian and Zheng Liyuan, slowly turned around and climbed to the top of the hill, looked at the canyon surrounded by mountains in the distance, and said:
"Liu Kan? So you are Monk Zicong? Hahahahaha, Monk Zicong?
Liu Kan? Kan, the eight strokes of the character are: Kan? Unexpectedly, the number one counselor beside Kublai Khan turned out to be a direct lineage of my Liu family, Touch Jin Xiaowei, Liu Ba?"

Have you guessed it? Monk Zicong, Liu Kan, was the first to touch the gold captain.
