As for what the mountains and landforms were like a hundred years ago, Tantai Pingchuan is the one with the most say.
Shen Cha thought for a while, put away the parchments and broken manuscripts, walked out to Tantai Pingchuan, put them on the table, and asked him to evaluate them.
"Take a look, do you have any impression of the places marked on this map, and do you know the origins of these manuscripts?"
"Let me see."
Tantai Pingchuan read the maps and manuscripts that Shen Cha brought over one by one. His expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious, and his face was not particularly good-looking.
Shen Cha saw his change and was a little worried, but didn't know what to say to explain it.
"Little tea."
After about half a stick of incense, the people in the room had opened a few more drawers and found a lot of notes from Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong, before Tantai Pingchuan slowly spoke.
"Don't pursue this matter for now." He looked at Shen Cha and pointed at the things on the table, "Give me some time and let me think about it carefully. When I think about it, I will give you a satisfactory answer." reply."
Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan, looking at his youthful appearance that had remained the same for a century, and suddenly remembered the adventure that had happened to him, and blinked.
"You mean, they might have the same experience as you?"
"We can't be sure for the moment. If they exist, they should still be alive now, instead of..." Tantai Pingchuan shrugged, "With the little things we have now, we can't be sure that their situation is the same as mine. "
"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, ""The things found now can only show that they have understood this aspect, but they cannot be sure that they have experienced it."
"We need to find something else."
"We all know that Emperor Chongde respects Buddha, but it seems that he is also very interested in Xuanmen."
"No." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head gently, "He does not respect the Buddha, but he seeks medical treatment in a desperate condition. Buddhists, Taoists, and even witch doctors from small tribes in the southwest have all tried, but unfortunately they have had little effect. No matter it is Everyone tells him to cultivate his moral character and not to lose his temper, but you also know that in his situation and position, how can he be as calm as water?" He smiled, "So , in order to force myself to meditate, I started worshiping Buddha as a last resort."
"So that's it." Shen Cha nodded, "In other words, he has no taboos or taboos in this regard. What about Prince Tong?"
"Prince Tong?" Tantai Pingchuan shook his head gently, "I haven't heard of anything special. He should be the same as Emperor Chongde. After all, they grew up together, went in and out together, and their preferences are almost the same."
"That's what you said."
"You don't have to think too much. Liaotingguan is not a purely Taoist territory. Buddhism also has a certain influence in the local area." Tantai Pingchuan glanced at Jin Miaomiao who came out of the house, and looked at the cup she was holding in her hand. There were several boxes left, "Master Jin, what did you find again?"
"It's some paintings."
"Painting? What painting?"
Jin Miaomiao put the box in his hand on the stone table, shook his hand, and said, "It should have been preserved by the palace painter. From when Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong were very young to after they completely left Xijing City, two people There are also portraits of places the two of them have been to together, characters, scenery, etc. I think we should take a closer look, maybe..."
"There will be unexpected discoveries." Shen Haolin, who had followed Jin Miaomiao, stood next to Shen Cha. "In addition to these portraits, many notebooks were also found. Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong both had the habit of continuously recording their experiences. Their notebooks also started from when they were five or six years old until they passed away." He squatted down and said, "The cabinets in these two rooms have been opened, and the contents inside are similar, including notebooks, portraits, some travel notes left by Prince Tong, and There are some military books and insights. In addition to these, the things they use daily are all in duplicate and are very well preserved."
"Looking at the layout of this courtyard, there should be another room in it." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "It should be their bedroom, maybe..."
"I thought so too, maybe they are still there." Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "Would you like to take a look?"
"We won't go there for now. Once the Shadows have finished copying all the manuscripts, travel notes, military books, etc., and the two rooms outside have been restored to their original state, we can go to the last bedroom together." Shen Cha looked at it slowly and leisurely. Song Jue came over and said, "At the current speed, we can return to Beijing with Brother Xiaojue."
"I hope so!" Song Jue looked at the box on the table, "Open it and take a look?"
Shen Cha nodded and opened the top scroll box. There were six scrolls in it. She looked around, ran into the room and looked again, and saw a few easels in the corner.
"Thirteen, sixteen, you two help move these easels into the yard."
After the easel was set up, Shen Cha hung the paintings in the first box on it in order. She found that these six paintings were all portraits. The protagonists of the paintings were Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong. They looked to be only in their teens. The way he looked until he was in his forties. The background of the last picture is the courtyard where they are now.
Shen Cha walked back and forth between the third and fifth pictures, and finally waved to Jin Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao, I have a question for you." She pointed to the third painting, "In this painting, what do you think of Emperor Chongde's physical condition?"
"Although the painter is trying his best to hide it, it can still be seen that Emperor Chongde was not in good health during this period, and the fatigue on his face cannot be remedied by the painter." Jin Miaomiao pointed to his eyes, "Believe me, this is a good doctor's intuition."
"Then take a look at this one?" Shen Cha pointed at the fifth picture, "Does it look much better than this one?"
"More than just getting better, I feel refreshed." Jin Miaomiao squinted her eyes and looked carefully, "I can't see any signs of illness at all." She looked at Shen Cha, "Did you notice something?"
Shen Cha pointed at the signature on the third picture, and then pointed at the signature on the fifth picture, gesturing to Jin Miaomiao to look at it himself.
Jin Miaomiao went over to take a look, confused. When he saw the fifth signature, his eyes widened instantly, and his expression suddenly changed from confusion to surprise.
"Understood?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can you see where the problem is?"
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jin Miaomiao anxiously walked back and forth between the two paintings, "Am I right? The two paintings are only ten days apart?"
"Yes, I was shocked too." Shen Cha nodded, looked at the people around them and said, "I really want to find out how a person who can tell at a glance that he is seriously ill does that. He recovered in a short period of time and was even more energetic than before he fell ill..." She pointed to the second portrait, "More energetic?"
