Chapter 7: The Young Master (2)

Previous Chapter

"Phew, don't be ashamed, where is the surname Yuan engraved on the spirit snake bead? Hey, little bead, let me ask you if your surname is Yuan...... Look, how about it, don't answer, return your Yuan family's things, you can really say it!" Xiaopang said unconvinced.

Yuan Tieyi sneered twice, and did not distinguish from Xiaopang, but stood up, paced to a bookshelf behind him, and put his index finger in an area on the bookshelf.

I said in my heart that there are really enough organs in Yuan Tieyi's study, and there is a fingerprint safe hidden on the bookshelf.

Yuan Tieyi picked out one from the stack of books, returned to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, and pushed the book in front of us, I glanced at it, only to see that this book looked very old, it was the binding of ancient books, it seemed to be very old, and there were four traditional Chinese characters written vertically on the cover of the book: Yuan family tree, and there were two small characters below: frontispiece.

After I entered the antique industry, I also learned some knowledge of rare books, and from the name on the cover of this book, I knew that it was the genealogy of the Yuan family, and the "frontispiece" represented the beginning volume. In ancient times, usually only some families of large families had genealogies, and the first "protagonist" recorded in the initial volume was often the person who began the family's development.

I glanced at Yuan Tieyi, Yuan Tieyi nodded slightly, and motioned for me to look through the book. Before I could do anything, Chubby grabbed the book, foamed at it with his fingers, and turned a page.

Lao Zhang and I both leaned over to Xiaopang's side and read what was written in the book together.

If you don't look at it, I was really surprised when I saw it, because the first "protagonist" recorded in this genealogy turned out to be Yuan Tiangang!

I looked up at Yuan Tieyi in surprise, Yuan Tieyi was still expressionless, and a pair of sharp eyes were staring at us.

I said in my heart, no wonder Yuan Tieyi hung the image in the spirit snake bead in the middle hall of this house, and just now he said that the spirit snake bead was originally their Yuan family's thing, it turned out that he was actually Yuan Tiangang's descendant! But Yuan Tiangang is a Taoist priest and is respected as an ancestor in Taoism, how can he have descendants?

"This, the Yuan Tiangang recorded on this, is it the Yuan Tiangang?" Although I knew that the Yuan Tiangang recorded in this genealogy must be the famous feng shui master Yuan Tiangang in history, and also the founding military master of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang, I still asked in disbelief.

Yuan Tieyi only snorted coldly and did not answer. At this time, a series of crisp, silver bell-like laughter sounded in his ears, and Wu Gege replied for Yuan Tieyi: "Who else can there be Yuan Tiangang, the ancestor of Brother Tieyi is, of course, the famous Taoist patriarch Yuan Tiangang." ”

After hearing this, Xiaopang sneered, turned two pages of the family tree, and threw it on the table of the Eight Immortals: "I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless person, there are sugar daddy and famous people, but I really haven't seen a Taoist priest." Grandma is a bear, some Taoist priests have descendants, that is called Huoju Taoist, Taoist priests like Yuan Tiangang have become immortals, can they fucking have offspring? Could it be that they messed around with that girl? If there are offspring, they have already been criticized and killed by the class struggle of Taoist priests, and can they become patriarchs in their mother? Where did they get such a broken book, printed it? That's it, there is a copy of five cents in the Hongqiao market. ”

After listening to Xiaopang's words, Wu Gege leaned back and smiled back: "Fat brother, are you really ignorant or deliberately pretending to be garlic, how can you say some layman's words, what's so strange about Taoist priests having descendants, don't say Taoist priests, monks can also have descendants, no one is born to be a monk and Taoist, in ancient times, there were many people who became monks halfway, and the history books have never recorded when Yuan Tiangang left home, can't there be descendants before becoming a monk?" Also, fat brother, you still claim to be the nephew of Wang Fatzi, you are so illiterate, you can't see the authentic Song version of the book, by the way, this Uncle Zhang is also a veteran of antiques, you can help see if it is a fake. ”

Lao Zhang saw Wu Gege asking him, and hurriedly nodded again and again and said: "That's right, at the first glance, straight to the point, it is indeed an authentic Song version of the book." ”

"How's that? Fat brother, what else is there to say? My iron-clad brother never lies. ”

Xiaopang was speechless by Wu Gege's words, glared at Lao Zhang fiercely, and stopped talking.

Wu Gege smiled again and said: "Forget it, forget it, whether you believe it or not, it's all the same anyway." Don't you just want to know why you were brought here, and where that Zhang Meng is now? Of course, my brother Tieyi won't talk so much nonsense, so I'll tell you the ins and outs. ”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, what a rambling thing. Chubby said.

Wu Gege grimaced at Xiaopang, and then said: "This has to start with Yuan Tiangang, the ancestor of Brother Tieyi. You may have heard of Yuan Tiangang's origin, and it is generally rumored that he is the son of Yuan Ji, the Sicang of Liangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and his uncle is the famous warlock Yuan Shoucheng, by the way, that is, the one who asked the hexagram to gamble on the rain in Journey to the West and counted the dragon king of the Jinghe River as dead. Actually, these are rumors, not facts. The real situation is that Yuan Tiangang is the son of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, because the then queen Dugu killed Yuan Tiangang's mother out of jealousy, Yuan Tiangang was held to the Yuan family to raise, and after Yuan Ji raised Yuan Tiangang as an adult, Yuan Tiangang married his wife He and gave birth to two sons. Later, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian died, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui succeeded to the throne, that was a vicious guy, the famous faint monarch in history, he didn't know where he learned that he still had an elder brother who was raised by the Yuan family, in order to eliminate future troubles, ordered someone to kill more than 200 members of the Yuan family, at that time Yuan Tiangang happened to go out and survived, Yuan Tiangang's youngest son Yuan Keshi was also rescued, and the person who saved him was the famous medicine king Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao is Yuan Ji's best friend, Yuan Tiangang came back and learned that this matter was grief-stricken, and Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the pursuit, and later after Sun Simiao's introduction, he had to become a monk in Mount Emei, worship Master Zhiren as a teacher, he entrusted his youngest son Yuan Keshi, that is, the ancestor of Brother Tieyi, to Sun Simiao. At the beginning, Yuan Tiangang had to become a Taoist priest, but then he finally had an epiphany, saw through the red dust, and worked hard to cultivate the Tao, and then became a Taoist patriarch. These things cannot be written in the history books, and how outsiders know about them is all taught by the Yuan family. ”

Wu Gege talked about Yuan Tiangang's life experience in one breath, and Xiaopang listened a little impatiently: "Don't memorize Yuan Tiangang's resume, it's not a village committee election, it's a fart to say this?"

Wu Gege "giggled" and said: "Of course it works, just like taking medicine to have a medicine primer, and telling a story to have a cause and effect, if you want to know what you want to know, you have to listen patiently." ”

I do want to know some little-known things about Yuan Tiangang and Tiangang's tomb, as it might help me to understand the truth of the whole incident and the mystery of my cousin's disappearance. It seems that the relationship between this Wu Gege and Yuan Tieyi is really not ordinary, Yuan Tieyi is a person who regards himself as high and rarely speaks, and everything he wants to express is conveyed to us by Wu Gege.

Thinking of this, I smiled at Wu Gege: "Miss Gege is reasonable, we will listen to it." ”

"It's better to reason with Brother Dong. Okay, so I'll move on. Wu Gege continued: "You may have heard that Yuan Tiangang has a deep relationship with Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty. When Wu Zetian was still in infancy, Yuan Tiangang showed Wu Zetian a photo, Wu Zetian, who was less than a year old at the time, was held out as a baby boy, Yuan Tiangang saw it, and said that he was a dragon pupil and phoenix neck, the face of the emperor, but unfortunately it was a boy, if it was a girl, he would definitely be the lord of the world in the future, and decades later, Wu Zetian really called the emperor. There is also a very famous thing is that when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi chose the mausoleum, he invited his uncle eldest grandson Wuji and the then feng shui master Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to choose the site for his mausoleum at the same time, Li Chunfeng and the eldest grandson Wuji selected Liangshan, thinking that Liangshan is an auspicious land for ten thousand years, only Yuan Tiangang put forward the opposite statement, he believes that although Liangshan is in the dragon vein, but the twin peaks resemble a woman's breasts, the emperor should not be buried in this place, if buried here, it must be controlled by a woman, and the country will be dangerous after three generations. But at that time, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was very fond of Wu Zetian, and after listening to Wu Zetian's words, he finally chose the mausoleum in Liangshan, and later responded to what Yuan Tiangang said, Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty. ”

In fact, I also know the history of Yuan Tiangang and Wu Zetian, before I went to visit the tomb of Tiangang, I did my homework and checked the information on the Internet, and the site selection of the Qianling Tomb is recorded in the history books. It was that site selection that caused Wu Zetian to have a grudge against Yuan Tiangang, and even dislike the entire Taoism, so that she ordered Yuan Tiangang to be arrested after she became emperor, and Taoism turned from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and Buddhism replaced it and became the "state religion" of the Great Zhou Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty.

But Wu Zetian did not capture Yuan Tiangang, even Yuan Tiangang's apprentice Li Chunfeng is nowhere to be found, no one knows where they went, some people say that these two immortals are hidden in the mountains to understand the reincarnation of the next generation, and created the famous prophecy book "Tui Bei Tu", after Wang Chan ancestor's ignition has become an immortal, of course, this is just folklore, no certificate can be examined. According to the research and analysis of the Taoist work "Golden Lock Liuzhu Yin" and some materials unearthed in the Tiangong courtyard of Yuan Tiangang's doubtful tomb, the academic community believes that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng went to Liangshan after returning to seclusion, and secretly built their own mausoleum in the turtle sleeping place under the Qianling Tomb, that is, the huge underground cave in the shape of a turtle, and the two buried their bones here after their deaths. This is also confirmed by the phase diagram in the Taoist Supreme Treasure Spirit Snake Bead.

And there is a question that always makes me very puzzled, that is, Wu Zetian has been arresting Yuan Tiangang after becoming emperor, and why did Yuan Tiangang and his apprentice Li Chunfeng take a great risk to build their mausoleum under the Qianling Tomb?

I was about to ask this question when I heard someone in the courtyard shouting, "Granny Wei has arrived!"
