The sky in the mountains and the face of a baby can change at any time.

This is especially true on Hecha Mountain.

In the middle of the night, the pouring rain suddenly stopped, leaving only mud everywhere and ravines on the mountain road. The accumulated water carried mud and sand and rushed down the ravine. If you accidentally slipped, you would fall to the ground and roll instantly. Go out a long way.

Our forward speed was slowed down, and we could only sigh secretly that God was not kind to us.

After a while, mist rose from the forest.

The fog in Hecha Mountain is very characteristic, like gauze rolling back and forth, putting everything around it in a hazy state that is both trying to cover up and being ashamed. The plants that are as tall as people are silhouetted against it, as if there are many people standing there. Peeping at us in the thick fog.

"I heard that Liu Guangzuo suffered from this back then!"

It was not easy to climb the slope in the mud. Lao Bai had already exhausted his energy and was panting like an ox. He came down and rested for a while before saying: "I watched this part in the afternoon. Li Zicheng went into the mountain late at night, and there was a heavy fog in the mountain." , he saw dark shadows all around, thinking that the Ming army was coming, he yelled angrily and slashed with his knife, only to hear a "click". Then he saw that a dwarf tree as thick as a bowl had been felled, and with a thought, he cut it down. They camped on the ground and set up a suspicious formation. When Liu Guangzuo led the Ming army in pursuit, the peasant troops under his command were hiding everywhere and shouting. The Ming army thought they were trapped in a tight siege and their positions were in chaos. Li Zicheng took advantage of the opportunity to cover up and attack. Liu Guangzuo was defeated."

"It's fair to say that you have good intentions. I just casually mentioned the matter on Hecha Mountain before, and you investigated it later. That's good."

Brother Yaozi gave Lao Bai a rare compliment, and said as he walked: "If you don't mention this, I would have forgotten that the location of the Immortal Cave that Uncle Erpian mentioned seems to have such a relic in front of it, and it has something to do with King Li Chuang. , called Chuangwang Village, and it is said to be the military camp where King Li Chuang stationed his troops. I just heard people around me say this at the time, so it is said by old people. Hehe, I took a look from a distance when I was wandering around in the mountains. In fact, they are just some broken stones and stone shacks, which are crooked and cannot match the ancient ruins.

You also know what happened at that time. When I came here with those local masters, I was only thinking about preparing to pour two buckets. I didn’t have time to pay attention to any ancient ruins, so I didn’t go there to see it!”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Brother Yao Zi just said these few words casually, thinking that he was on his way on the road, but my heart moved, and I opened my mouth to ask: "Chuangwang Village? Was this village built by King Li Chuang when he was dealing with Liu Guangzuo?"

Brother Yaozi nodded, saying that was the case, and then asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"There's something wrong."

I nodded: "There was no King Li Chuang at that time, but there was King Gao Chuang. This village... I'm afraid it's a little weird!"

This weirdness all comes from my understanding of history.

Li Zicheng is not a good person. After killing a person, he mixes human flesh with venison, cooks and drinks it, and claims to be the master of the "Fu Lu Banquet". What kind of good person can he be? It was he who followed the Ming Dynasty's heart He gave a sword to the emperor, which opened up the history of blood and tears of the Han people for more than three hundred years. Without this man, perhaps the darkness and humiliation of modern China would not have happened!

For such a person, anyone who has read some history will definitely understand it in depth, and I am no exception.

This man's rise was not smooth. It was not until he conquered Tongguan and proclaimed himself emperor that he really became popular. But that was sixteen years after Chongzhen. Before that, he had been beaten to death by the Ming army. To put it nicely,

It's called fighting in all directions. To put it bluntly, it means the situation is precarious.

In the beginning, he was just a little postman. He was fired because he lost his official documents. Then his wife cheated on him and he owed a huge debt. In a rage, he killed both the creditor and his wife and turned around.

He fled to Ganzhou and became a soldier. Later, because the army was in arrears of pay, he killed officials and revolted. At that time, he was still a nobody. He was hunted down and went to various rebel leaders, and he slowly built up a team.

The battle that Brother Yaozi talked about that took place on Hecha Mountain took place in the sixth year of Chongzhen. At that time, Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River eastward and defected to his uncle Gao Yingxiang, king of Chuang. He was just a general under Gao Yingxiang.

This is one of the doubts. Li Zicheng was not King Chuang at that time, so how could the military camp he left behind be called King Chuang's stronghold?

If it is said that this is the name given by the common people of later generations, it is an explanation, but there is another doubtful point, which is also the biggest doubtful point!

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, after the Xingyang Conference, the 13 families and 72 battalions of the rebel army did not develop smoothly. The Ming general Cao Wenzhao led only more than a thousand Guan Ning troops and killed the rebels like dogs.

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to flee to Henan in a hurry. They were surrounded by Zuo Liangyu and were almost wiped out.

In other words, when Li Zicheng came to Hecha Mountain, he was on the way to escape, and Liu Guangzuo was chasing him. Along the way, countless rebel generals were beheaded by Liu Guangzuo. In the end, Li Zicheng was blocked on Hecha Mountain. He had no choice but to fight for his life.

, luckily won a match and ran away immediately.

In this case, he built a useless military stronghold, but when he was building the military stronghold, he was surrounded by the Ming army that arrived later, and he was in despair!

Brother Yaozi also only knew the first one but not the second. After hearing what I said, he said with a sigh: "That's the truth. However, I took a look from a distance and saw that it was indeed a military camp. Uncle Erpian and the others also

Those who have noses and eyes have said that they have relied on Hecha Mountain for generations. The stories handed down must be correct. If the military stronghold was not left by King Li Chuang, who else could it be?"

I shook my head, but I couldn't explain it. I just felt that the origin of the military camp was a bit strange.

While we were chatting, the wind around us became stronger and stronger, blowing away the fog, and the front was clear. When we looked up, we realized that we had climbed to the top of this mountain without knowing it, and a building was not far ahead.

.

Vermilion walls, bright glazed tiles, Champs pavilions and lofts are all here.

With the white mist lingering, the palace seemed to be standing in the clouds. It really looked like a fairy cave!

"Fairy Cave!"

My pupils shrank, and I ducked into the dense forest on one side. I squatted in front of a bush and stretched my neck to look at this so-called fairy cave, trying to see something unusual.

Brother Yaozi looked back and forth, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, then he retracted and whispered: "Jingzhe, I'm afraid you are right. There is something wrong with the so-called Chuangwang Village. This Immortal Cave... was built on the original site.

On Chuangwang Village, they are all about the same size, and the scenery around them is exactly the same as it was a few years ago. I can’t admit it wrong, this is the location!”

I was pondering, trying to figure out some differences. Since this was the butcher's act of inviting you into the urn, there should be some life-threatening arrangements. It would be better to be cautious.

There was a rustling sound behind me, and two clay figurines, one big and one small, came up. It was Zhang Xinya and Xiao Zhi, to be precise, Wan Niang'er and Xiao Zhi. When I turned around, I met Wan Niang'er.

The eyes, the two pupils inside were staring at me. No matter how many times I looked at this situation, I couldn't get used to it, let alone looking at each other, so I turned away calmly.

"The Bingzhai is still the Bingzhai, but it is not a fairy cave. You have been tricked!!"

Wan Niang'er's words were concise and to the point. She and Xiao Zhi were always not far from us, so they naturally heard what we said.

Needless to say, it must have been the yin and yang eyes that saw the truth.

But, when did we get tricked?

I immediately sat down cross-legged, held the sword hand on my forehead, and recited in a low voice: "Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the divine form. Disciples' souls, five internal organs Xuanming. Green dragons and white tigers, various teams. Suzaku Xuanwu, the guard is true. Urgent

Urgent as a rule!"

The Earth Spirit Pearl in my lower abdomen trembled slightly, and immediately I felt burning pain in the skin all over my body. It was probably related to my current state. I used the Purification Charm among the Eight Divine Charms in my ghostly state.

The moment the Earth Spirit Pearl was awakened, it caused considerable harm to me.

I am holding back, but there is nothing I can do. Only this spell can make the gods return to their places, make the body clean, and be able to feel some unclean things around me. It is most useful when you are confused.

After the pain subsided a little, I raised my head and looked again.

Where are the Champs Elysées pavilions and lofts above? The vermilion courtyard wall turned into a swaying low stone wall, and the brightly painted Ruyi Gate turned into a dilapidated building, filled with low shacks, some of which were

It collapsed. Isn’t it exactly what Brother Yaozi described as the military stronghold?
