Chapter 354: Hengchu Temple
Chapter 354
Hua An dared to throw me with a gun talisman, he must have received Chu Tianshu's instructions, otherwise, with his identity as a mere bodyguard, he would not be bold enough to dare to attack me, so I don't blame him, but after I used a little trick to force Chu Tianshu to make a mess, his move to invite me to fight has some personal provocation in it, Hua An wants to stand up for the master, no problem, but he shouldn't come to recruit me, if I don't give him a little lesson, shouldn't I be looked down upon by them in vain.
The power of the Great Witch Origin carried on the cigarette is very rare, and it does not pose any danger to Hua'an's life, but he has never been exposed to this kind of power, he will definitely be more embarrassed, the explosion just now, I don't know what the chaos in the house is, I play this hand, it is clear that I have turned over with Chu Tianshu, to be honest, it is really not a wise move to turn my face with Chu Tianshu on the realm of Chu Tianmeng, but compared to this, I understand the truth that the two ends occupy and the two ends are empty.
Judging from my contact with the five veins during this time, the Xiang family is all madmen, and they only yearn for real war in their bones, the Zuo family is introverted, obsessed with exploring and collecting ancient culture, the Zhuang family is rigorous and focuses on the study of skills, while the Shangguan family is divided into two and is mired in internal fighting.
After the fall of the Xiong family, the four veins are still sticking to the old land, only Chu Tianshu's heart vein, abandoning the original family location of Huangshi, and loudly entering the core city of Wuhan, the core city of Hubei, becoming the biggest vested interest, Chu Tianshu is ambitious, and befriending him is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, so for me, it is more appropriate for me to decisively give up Chu Tianshu and seek friendship with the other four veins.
As for whether offending Chu Tianshu will cause the hostility of the other four veins, I don't think there is any need to think about it, the five veins are clearly one, but the relationship is intricate in secret, and they are wary of each other, I fell out with Chu Tianshu, and the other four veins will not only be dissatisfied with me because of this, but will also take the initiative to release kindness to me, after all, the enemy's enemy is a friend, it will work anywhere, and vice versa, if I deliberately flatter Chu Tianshu and have a good relationship with him, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other veins, so as to be wary of me, and the good impression that I have managed to deal with before will also disappear, so it will be a big loss, because Chu Tianshu, who is as cunning as a fox, will definitely not make friends with me from the bottom of his heart, this is what I just said about the two heads occupying, and the two ends are empty.
After repairing in Wuhan for a few days, we set off to the last stop of the operation, the location of Fusang wood Gujiangling, the city of Gujiangling was formerly known as the capital of Chu State "Ying", from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were 34 generations of emperors to build the capital here, which lasted 515 years, until the Han Dynasty, Jiangling City has existed for a long time as the seat of Jingzhou, so it is often called Jiangling in Jingzhou.
Jiangling is now known as Jingzhou City, located in the south-central part of Hubei Province, prefecture-level city, a national historical and cultural city, the central city of the Jianghan Plain, since five dynasties, the ruling center of the Central Plains Dynasty is between Henan and Shaanxi, Jiangling controls Bashu in the west, connects Xianghan in the north, takes the rivers and lakes in the north, and refers to Wu Yue, which is the key point of the Central Plains to communicate with Lingnan, and is called "the southeast important town", "Yidu also" There are ten generations of regimes built in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, among which Chu is a big country and a powerful country, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties all have half of the rivers in southern China, so the ancient capital of Jiangling has a higher status, second only to the seven ancient capitals, and is the famous capital of Jing and Chu.
Although the present body of the ancient Jiangling is Jingzhou City, but in fact, strictly speaking, only part of Jingzhou City is the old soil of Jiangling, because the urban area of the ancient Jiangling is limited, so the construction of Jingzhou expanded a lot, slowly with the development of society, the area of the ancient Jiangling because the old facilities can not keep up with the ever-changing city requirements, slowly the population will move to Jingzhou with more perfect municipal facilities, and so on to the people almost after leaving, the ancient Jiangling is in a semi-deserted state, over time, except for a small part of the situation in the suburbs of Jingzhou, the other parts are all lost in the loess。
The place we are going to is a no-man's land between Jingzhou City and today's Jiangling County, where there is a temple buried in the ground, the temple was built in the period after the Jin Yuan Emperor Sima Rui moved south to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the capital Jiankang.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of the weakening of the national strength, there were frequent riots in various places, which laid the situation of instability in the domestic regime of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and when the emperor passed to the Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin'an, Hengxuan, the son of Sima Hengwen, rebelled, he raised troops from Jiangling, invaded Jiankang, abolished and killed Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, self-proclaimed prime minister, did Dong Zhuo's thing, and controlled Emperor Jin An, two years later, Hengxuan forced Emperor Jin An to write an edict on the throne and establish Heng Chu.
The following year, Liu Yu, known as the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, raised troops, Heng Xuan was defeated by Liu Yu, and fled west to Jiangling with Emperor Jin An, Heng Xuan overhauled the naval army in Jiangling, in preparation for Liu Yu, in addition, he also built a temple outside Jiangling City, intending to turn defeat into victory with the help of Chu luck, in order to make the temple have enough divinity, Heng Xuan put a Chu inheritance holy relic in the temple, which is the purpose of our trip, Fusang wood.
The temple failed to shelter Hengxuan, and in the end Hengxuan was defeated and died, but this is not what we care about, what I care about is only the Fusang wood that was enshrined in the temple by Hengxuan, according to Qian Rong's introduction, because Liu Yu's generals did not know Fusang wood, so after breaking through Jiangling, the temple was simply knocked down, and there was no looting, and then after thousands of years, with the changes in the vicissitudes of life, the ruins of the temple were buried underground, until modern times, it was accidentally discovered by Chu Tianmeng in an operation.
According to the characteristics of the ruins, the person in charge of the operation of the Chu Tianmeng judged that this was a temple, and after the information was reported, it did not attract the attention of the headquarters of the Chu Tianmeng, and it is no wonder that since ancient times, there are many statues and offerings in the temple, and there will be no valuable antiques and gold and silver jewelry, and some are only historical archaeological significance.
After the Beiquan Conference, Chu Tianmeng began to gradually whitewash, and the transformation of the proper industry as an economic source gradually stopped, until after the reform and opening up, Chu Tianmeng developed rapidly, and after having extra spare money, it restarted the excavation of ancient tombs for archaeological purposes.
Since the purpose has been changed to archaeology, then there is a suitable reason for excavating the temple site, according to the rules, before formulating the excavation plan, it is necessary to investigate the relevant ancient books, according to the relevant records on the ancient books, you can judge the year and dynasty where the temple site is located, and then start from the dynasty, consult the temple system and building techniques used in the relevant period, you can accurately prescribe the right medicine, greatly improve the excavation efficiency.
Heng Xuan, as the founder of Heng Chu, is a famous figure in history, the relevant classics are not difficult to find, the expert group quickly determined the information of the temple, and the excavation project was also started, and soon, the entire temple was displayed in front of everyone, after a week of careful cleaning, Chu Tianmeng sorted out all the items in the temple, these things are mostly some ritual utensils commonly used by priests, and there is nothing special, there is no ancient book recorded in the Heng Xuan put into the Chu inheritance holy relics.
Ancient documents, there are many inaccuracies, so although the person in charge of the excavation operation was disappointed, but did not say much, just when the whole team was about to go home, a team member was tidying up the brick foundation in the last corner of the temple, and accidentally found a road that was hidden by an iron gate and led to a deeper place.
This discovery aroused the interest of the person in charge, he selected a few people to take the equipment, and personally led the team into the iron gate, inside the iron door is a downward staircase, after walking the stairs, appeared in front of them are two huge bronze doors, the bronze doors have been locked, and they have no tools to break the door, so they have to withdraw the same way, planning to take the guy in hand to investigate again the next day.
After breakfast the next day, the team members didn't wait for the person in charge to appear, so they had to go to the tent where the person in charge was to call him, but after entering the tent, the team members found that the person in charge was bedridden, touched his forehead, hot hands, obviously sick, and in addition to the person in charge, several other people who had gone down with him also fell ill with a fever, this abnormality caused other people to be alert, for the sake of safety, they did not continue the investigation under the iron gate, but called the headquarters of the Chu Tianmeng for help.
Chu Tianmeng's reaction was very fast, and he didn't take it lightly, after all, Chu Tianmeng used to deal with ancient tombs, and knew that the underground was prone to encounter some strange dangers, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately sent a team of elites to support, and when this team of people arrived at the location of the temple, the entire huge camp didn't see a single active figure, and they checked one tent after another, and found that the team members who originally participated in the excavation operation had fallen ill in their tents at the moment, and the symptoms were surprisingly consistent, all of them were high fever and difficulty breathing.
The captain of the team in charge of support is a big shopkeeper who used to often go to the ground, with his own experience, the big shopkeeper judged that these people were infected with an unknown virus that had been closed for thousands of years when exploring the underground passage, and the body's immune system had a very low defense against the unknown virus, so many people would fall ill in a short period of time, and what was even more terrifying was the contagion of the virus, it's just beyond imagination.
After the chief shopkeeper made a judgment and analysis, he realized that he and the other team members might have been infected by the virus, he didn't waste time, and hurriedly called Chu Tianmeng's headquarters, reported the situation and his judgment in detail, and then solemnly told Chu Tianmeng that the team sent to support must have a full set of protective measures before being allowed to enter the excavation site.
