According to legend, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, one day in the palace, he saw the southern area of "bullfighting, strange candle sky", which means that there is a purple gas in the south that shoots directly in the direction of the Big Dipper where the Jade Emperor is located, and the light is strange, such as lighting a candle and lighting up the sky. ”

At that time, a warlock beside Qin Shi Huang told Qin Shi Huang that this was an imperial spirit, and he might also have a sword, and if the imperial qi in this place was allowed to condense, a son of heaven would inevitably emerge in the next twenty years to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. ”

When Qin Shi Huang heard the news, he could not be indifferent, so in order to stabilize his own country, Qin Shi Huang ordered the warlock to think of a way to remove the imperial qi of that place. ”

"When the warlock found the place where the imperial qi appeared, he found that it was a big mountain, which made him a little difficult, you know, at that time, the productivity of the ancients was low, and the equipment was not good, and this imperial qi was buried deep under the mountain, and it was impossible to destroy the entire mountain. ”

Qin Yu was talking slowly, while Li Siqi was listening with a snow-white chin, both of them were facing the bank of the Qinhuai River, looking at the passing dock.

Eventually, the warlock came up with a plan, and he sent people to spread the news that there was a cache of gold hidden in the mountains, and that the government had decided that whoever dug up the gold would go to whomever it was. ”

"This warlock is trying to trick the villagers into digging the mountain for him. Li Siqi interjected to express her judgment.

"That's right, that's the purpose of the warlock, under the guise of gold, to deceive the villagers near Nanjing to dig the mountain, when the common people heard the news, they were eager to get rich, they carried hoes, and the whole family with the mouth of the nursery went into battle, digging around the mountain, about this matter, the later literati used such a sentence to describe:"

"Everyone has the heart to seek gold in the mountain, but they don't love its power to dig the mountain, and if they can't get it, they will chisel endlessly. Don't wait to follow it. ”

This sentence is very apt to explain the hearts of the people at that time, it can be said that the people of the entire Nanjing City, regardless of the old, the young, the sick and the young, all have the heart of seeking wealth. went into battle to dig the mountain, and in just one month, half of the mountain was dug up. Qin Yu nodded and said.

"But wouldn't these villagers have thought that this was a hoax, if there was real gold? Why didn't the government chisel it itself, but give them the opportunity?" asked Li Siqi with a frown.

"This is because, at that time, the warlock found Qin Shi Huang to write a stone tablet and stood at the foot of the mountain, you know, in ancient times, the emperor was the highest existence, isn't there such a sentence, the king has no jokes, since it is the emperor who said it. Then there will certainly be no fake. For this reason, the people of Nanjing City are convinced that there is gold in the mountains. ”

"What stele did Qin Shi Huang write?"

The stele is called the buried gold stele, and there are 24 words on it: "Not in front of the mountain, not behind the mountain, not in the south of the mountain, not in the north of the mountain, someone has obtained it, and a country has been rich." ””

"In our modern terms, the words on this stone tablet. It is like the advertising of some real estate sales now, which is extremely tempting, but the ancients were simple, so they believed the words of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang Bai did a mountain digger, of course, the warlock saw that the imperial spirit was almost destroyed, so he secretly found someone to bury some gold to give some villagers who dug the mountain a little sweetness, and those villagers who dug up the gold continued to dig desperately. And those who didn't dig up gold, when they saw that everyone else had dug it, they didn't dig less, so they had to dig up some gold, and they dug day and night, until the mountain was hollowed out......"

This is a folk saying called Jinling in Nanjing, of course, there is also a saying, it is related to the Yue Kingdom, but this is too boring to say, not interesting. Qin Yu finished explaining.

"Burying gold, Jinling, it turns out that this is the case, I still think this first statement is more acceptable, so that Jinling is more legendary this time. Li Siqi looked at Qin Yu with a sideways face and said.

"Who's to say it isn't. Qin Yu thought of something, and sighed: "Now there are many experts and professors who specialize in studying the origin of some local names, denying some folklore, or debunking some folklore, although from a certain point of view, this is a truth-seeking behavior, but I think that sometimes, keeping some folklore, so that the mystery of these folklore still exists, but it is a good phenomenon, too truth-seeking, may not really be what the people want to know." ”

"Mr. Qin, why do you know so much about this?" Li Siqi looked at Qin Yu with some curiosity, in her heart, she really felt that this Mr. Qin was different from ordinary eunuchs.

Now in society, most of the children of official eunuchs are busy making money and picking up girls, and most of them are unlearned, so how can they bother to understand these things, but this Mr. Qin, Li Siqi has also asked a few official eunuch ladies, but none of these official eunuch ladies have heard Mr. Qin's name, it seems that Mr. Qin is a very low-key person.

Of course, Li Siqi will not be able to inquire about Qin Yu's information, that is normal, because Qin Yu is not in that circle at all, of course, not everyone knows Qin Yu, the capital was in a uproar, and the name Qin Yu also entered the ears of the people in that circle in the capital.

It's just that those are the top sons and young ladies, such a circle is not something that Li Siqi can contact at the moment, of course, if Li Siqi is willing to sell her hue, with her charming appearance, it is still possible to intersect with this circle.

"Because that's what I do. Qin Yu said truthfully.

"What are you doing? Mr. Qin, you mean that you are engaged in feng shui?" Li Siqi's eyes wandered, "I didn't expect your hobby to be so unique, Mr. Qin." ”

Li Siqi understood Qin Yu's words to mean that Qin Yu was more fond of feng shui, naturally, Qin Yu would not explain more, but just smiled, since Li Siqi misunderstood, then misunderstood.

"Mr. Qin, the ship has arrived, let's be at the restaurant on this boat at noon. A two-storey, decorated dock full of ancient style stopped at the shore mouth not far away, Li Siqi saw the boat, and said happily to Qin Yu: "This restaurant is very good, if you want to eat on the boat, you have to make an appointment in advance." ”

"Okay, let's enjoy it today, and park Qin Huai near the restaurant at night. ”

……

After getting on this ship, Qin Yu found that the space in this ship was even larger than he imagined, the second floor was a box, the first floor was a hall, and as for the galley, it was under the deck.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Yu and Li Siqi walked to the hall, Li Siqi glanced at the environment of the hall, and asked the waiter, "Is there no private room?"

"Miss, I'm sorry, all four boxes have been booked in advance. The waiter replied apologetically.

"Mr. Qin, there is no box here, why don't we change it?" Li Siqi asked Qin Yu's opinion.

Since his fame has risen, Li Siqi has also come into contact with many rich second generations and second generations of officials, these people have a common characteristic, that is, they have a big spectrum, and they generally have to eat in a private room, and they will never be willing to eat with many people in the hall.

"The hall is also good, there are not many people here. Qin Yu replied casually, it's just a meal, he doesn't pay so much attention to it, besides, if he and Li Siqi want to eat in a private room alone, it will be a little inappropriate.

"This gentleman is right, our hall is also very clean, and the guests are very good, and there will be no commotion. The waiter listened to what Qin Yu said, and hurriedly said.

"That'll do. Li Siqi nodded, and sat down with Qin Yu on a table by the window, from which you could clearly see the scenery on the bank of the Qinhuai River through the window.

After Qin Yu and Li Siqi sat down, the waiter took the menu ordered by Li Siqi and handed it to the kitchen, but Li Siqi asked Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, since you like feng shui so much, can you tell me more about feng shui in Nanjing, I remember that when I was a child, my grandmother would often tell me and my sister stories about this." ”

"Most of the feng shui deeds have been adapted by later generations, and they have been called stories, and since they are stories, they will naturally be more interesting. Qin Yu glanced at Li Siqi and smiled, he knew very well in his heart that Li Siqi asked this question, firstly, it was estimated that he was afraid that there would be no topic between the two, and the atmosphere would be awkward at that time, and secondly, he also intended to let himself behave, I have to say that Li Siqi is also a very careful woman.

"There are many feng shui stories in Nanjing, if you really want to say, you can say that one day and one night, the most famous of which is the "burying gold" scam, which can be said to be the first scam in the feng shui world, but this is not all the means of Qin Shi Huang to destroy Nanjing's feng shui, in order to destroy Nanjing's feng shui, Qin Shi Huang can be said to be racking his mind, in the feng shui line, this allusion is called "the first emperor travels to the east to the town of Wang Qi." ””

"The First Emperor is angry in Dongyou Town?" Li Siqi's eyes lit up, "I think it's very interesting to hear this name, Mr. Qin, you tell me about it." ”

"Qin Shi Huang suppressed the royal spirit of Nanjing, there were three ways in total, one of which was to dig the mountain, and the other two was to divert the river and change its name. ”

When Qin Yu began to explain to Li Siqi how Qin Shi Huang suppressed Feng Shui in Nanjing, two old men walked into the hall with the support of a pair of young men and women, and they sat not far from the two of them.

"In the feng shui world, these three methods of Qin Shi Huang are called the three axes to suppress the king's qi, the first axe I have said before, as for the second axe to divert the river, it is related to the Qinhuai River where we are now. ”

Qinhuai River was formerly known as "Hidden Longpu", is an extremely important inland river near Nanjing City, but also a river with solar terms, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a rebellion, and at that time there were 3,000 people jumped into the Qinhuai River to commit suicide and martyrdom, in order to show the solar terms.
