Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dragon Slaying Monument
"You're right, this stele is indeed extraordinary!"
An old voice came from behind Wang Yang, Wang Yang turned around suddenly, and was stunned to find that the mysterious old man who had appeared in the lumber mill before walked not far from him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man was only six or seven meters away from him, looking at him with a smile, Wang Yang didn't expect that the person he was looking for this time was so relaxed, he appeared by himself as soon as he arrived, and now it looks more like he knew that he would be here, so he was waiting for him here.
"Do you have a lot of questions, come with me and I'll tell you!"
The old man walked one meter behind Wang Yang and did not move forward, and whispered, Wang Yang looked back at the snake slashing tablet again, and immediately followed.
The old man took Wang Yang and Luo Quan to the mountain next to it, where there was an ordinary two-story building, ordinary walls, ordinary doors, and when Wang Yang entered it, he found that the layout inside was quite antique, and the feng shui layout was excellent.
"Gu Feng, take this friend out for a walk!"
In the living room, the old man commanded directly, Luo Quan was slightly stunned, and before he could oppose a strong young man, he pulled him out of here, he just shook his head and didn't struggle, he knew that these two masters had something to say, and he didn't want him to hear it.
"My surname is Lai, my name is Baocheng, I am seventy-seven this year, and I am a contemporary descendant of Qingwumen!"
After Lai Lao sat down, he directly introduced himself, people who are familiar with Lai Lao will definitely widen their eyes here, wondering if Lai Lao in front of him is himself, usually Lai Lao's introduction is at most one sentence 'Old surname Lai', and nothing else will be said, it is enough to do so with his seniority, but in the face of Wang Yang, he not only used me, but also said his name, age and identity.
"The surname is Lai, Qingwumen!" Wang Yang's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lai, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Wenjun?" ”
Mr. Wenjun is Lai Buyi's honorific title, Lai Buyi's original life is Lai Fenggang, the word Wenjun, and he calls himself Buyizi, because he only lets others call him that, so Lai Buyi has become his most famous name, and later generations also call him that.
Lai Lao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Mr. Wen Jun is the next ancestor!" ”
"It turns out that after the old gentleman is Mr. Wenjun, he is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Wang Yang hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and saluted, Lai Buyi's name appeared in "The Emperor's Classics", in which the Qingwu preface he wrote was written in a single volume, and Wang Yang had used some of the methods in it before.
Lai Lao smiled slightly, and instead of mentioning this topic, he asked: "Wang Xiaoyou, do you know why the monument is repulsive to you, why didn't you get close?" ”
Wang Yang shook his head lightly: "I don't know, but I guess that this monument has a special aura, and it should be the obstruction of this aura!" ”
"You're right, you're not right!"
Lai Lao chuckled and shook his head, while Wang Yang looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant, what is right and wrong, right is right, wrong is wrong, how can there be both.
"Wang Xiaoyou, let me ask you first, what kind of monument is that?" Lai Lao asked suddenly.
Wang Yang looked puzzled, but still replied: "Liu Bang slashed the snake monument!" ”
"Do you know anything unusual about this monument?" Lai Lao asked again.
Wang Yang groaned and replied: "According to legend, at night, the headlights take a photo, and this monument can show Liu Bang's figure in armor, is this its abnormality!" ”
Liu Bang slashing snake stele is a famous scenic spot in Mangdang Mountain Scenic Area, this stele is as famous as the tomb group of King Liang, many years ago someone found that the stele shines on the stele with car headlights at night, it will show the appearance of a general in armor, the person holding the sword comes out, according to legend, that is Liu Bang who cut the snake.
These things have also been on TV many times, and there are different opinions.
"It's not wrong for you to say that this is abnormal, but what I want to tell you is that this stone tablet is not Liu Bang's snake slashing tablet!"
Lai Lao got up with a smile, and Wang Yang looked at him with surprise, Liu Bang's snake slashing monument is a well-known scenic spot and a national-level protected cultural relic, how did it become a matter of time when it came to Mr. Lai?
Wang Yang has not seen the image of Liu Bang wearing armor and holding a sword, but he has heard many people say that Huodian Town in XY County is connected to Mangdang Mountain, and many of Wang Yang's classmates in Huodian have seen it with their own eyes before, and they have also talked about it in school.
"Liu Bang cut the snake stele, originally for the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wen to commemorate Liu Bang, built the Gaozu Temple and this snake stele, but later after the war, the snake stele has long disappeared, now this piece is set up in imitation of the early Ming Dynasty, the inscription is the original text of the snake stele, but in fact it is not at all, its real name should be called the dragon stele!"
Lai Lao shook his head as he spoke, Wang Yang's eyes were shocked, but his heart moved.
The dragon slaying tablet reminded him of the faint dragon qi floating in the air of Mangdang Mountain, as well as the fracture in the middle, which looked like a sword cutting and separating.
"Wang Xiaoyou, since you can set up the Nine Heavens Killing Array, I believe you have also seen the situation here, the dragon vein here has been broken, or has it been forcibly cut off, this monument is to suppress the dragon vein, so that the dragon vein can never be reproduced, until it completely dissipates the dragon slaying stele!"
Lai Lao said that there was still some bitterness in his expression, Mangdang Mountain was his home, this was originally a place of high-grade dragon veins, where the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty were located, but later they were forcibly cut off, and there was no possibility of recovery, until it completely dissipated.
"Mr. Lai, you, can you elaborate?"
Wang Yang had already guessed this possibility before, but Lai Lao still shocked him after saying it, the dragon vein is not fixed, and it is not immutable, the current dead dragon may become a living dragon in the future, and the living dragon may also become a dead dragon, if the dragon vein remains unchanged, then the Chinese nation will not have so many dynasty changes.
There are other reasons for the change of dynasty, but the dragon vein is indeed one of them.
"Wang Xiaoyou, do you know who the person in armor and holding the sword is?" Lai Lao asked again.
"But Han Gaozu Liu Bang?" Wang Yang hesitated, knowing that Lai Lao must have other things to say when he asked, and finally said what he knew, after all, this was also a legend he had heard since he was a child.
Sure enough, Lai Lao smiled and shook his head: "That person is not Liu Bang, but Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the dragon vein of Mangdang Mountain was also cut off by Zhu Di himself!" ”
"Ming Chengzu Zhu Di!"
Wang Yang was stunned again, he didn't expect that this snake stele would involve another emperor, or the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were too far apart.
"That's right, Zhu Di took away his nephew's country because he had a master by his side to help, and that master believes you have also heard of it, his name is Liu Ji!"
"Liu Ji, Liu Bowen?"
Wang Yang will be completely stunned, this Liu Bang snake slashing tablet has involved so many people, first Ming Chengzu, and now there is a big bull Liu Bowen, even if he didn't get the "Emperor Classics" before he heard of this big name, there are very few people in China who don't know his name.
China has produced two military divisions, Zhuge Liang in three parts, and Liu Bowen in the country, he is talking about him, he is the same demon as Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang failed in the end, but he succeeded.
It was the seven-star life-sustaining array, which was also used by him and Zhuge Liang, and the result was also a failure, a success, and he was the one who succeeded.
Lai Lao continued: "When Zhu Di seized the country with the help of Liu Ji, he asked Liu Ji who could pose a threat to his throne, and Liu Ji told him that no one could threaten him now, but within a hundred years there would be a new emperor who would overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty and build a dynasty again!" ”
"It is the dragon vein of Mangdang Mountain that can threaten the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Ji cut off this dragon vein of Mangdang Mountain?" Wang Yang subconsciously asked.
"Hmph, how could he Liu Ji do something to completely cut off the dragon vein, this is a big sin, such a sin entangles the descendants will eventually be retributed, he asked Zhu Di to cut it with his own hands, he said to Zhu Di that the dragon vein can only be cut by the real dragon sky, after cutting the dragon vein, he also set up this dragon slaying monument to suppress the dead dragon until the dragon qi completely dissipates!"
Lai Lao's tone is not good, listening to his words, he seems to be very uninterested in Liu Bowen, but he can understand if he thinks about it, his home is in Mangdang Mountain, and the dragon veins on Mangdang Mountain were cut off by Liu Bowen's conspiracy, and he has harmed the people here for hundreds of years, so it is strange that he can have a good face.
"I see, no wonder!"
Wang Yang sighed and nodded, Lai Lao's words he believed that this Mangdang Mountain was not like this before, a long time ago there were mountains and rivers in Mangdang Mountain, and many water flows passed through here, which is a real treasure of feng shui.
Mangdang Mountain is not high, but it is unique in this plain area with a radius of hundreds of miles, because it is unique, so that this not high mountain has given birth to a lot of luck, and a lot of water flows around.
After the Tang and Song dynasties, the topography here changed because of the Yellow River's bursting of embankments, diversion, and flood crossing many times, the original river branches were gone, the mountains also became smaller and shorter, the terrain changed completely, and finally the water flow gradually decreased, and now there are not a few real water flows passing through Mangdang Mountain, and the pattern is completely changed.
Wang Yang had heard of these before, but he just listened to it, and he didn't understand what it meant at all, let alone why it happened, and now he finally knew that all this was because of Liu Bowen and Zhu Di, Zhu Di was afraid that the people here would snatch the inheritance from his descendants, so he cut off the dragon veins here first, and also suppressed it, completely cutting off this place.
Think about the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fate of those descendants of the Zhu family was indeed not very good, Chongzhen hanged himself, none of the emperors who called the emperor could live, and the other descendants were killed very badly, this is the evil fruit brought by Zhu Di cutting off the dragon vein of Mangdang Mountain.
In addition, Liu Bowen is a legendary figure, folk rumors that he faked his death to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, he lived for more than 100 years, Wang Yang knows this, the legend is true, "Huangji Jingshi" recorded, his life is 113 years, not 65 years recorded in the history books.
"Lai Lao, something is wrong!"
Wang Yang frowned suddenly, and asked in a low voice, before he came, he had consulted a lot of information about Mangdang Mountain, paid attention to a detail, and after thinking about it, he continued: "This Liu Bang snake stele is not the original one, nor is it the one erected by the Ming Dynasty, but was re-carved by the government later, and it is only a few decades old!" ”
At present, this stele is indeed a modern thing, rebuilt in 82, the original inscription has been completely illegible, and there is no need to erect it again.
Lai Lao looked at Wang Yang and said slowly: "If I tell you that this is Liu Ji's layout and deliberately confuses future generations, can you believe it?" ”
"Layout?"
Wang Yang's eyes widened a lot, Liu Bowen is now more than 600 years apart, but when I think about Liu Bowen's names, it seems that it is also possible, he is the same as Lai Buyi, he is a rare cow, "Huangji Jingshi" only mentions ten names in history, Liu Bowen and Lai Buyi are the second.
"If you don't believe me, come with me in the evening and you'll find out!"
Lai Lao said again, remembering the strange cyan aura of the stone tablet before, Wang Yang believed Lai Lao's words a little more, this old-timer didn't need to lie to him, let alone prove it at night.
The night passed, and it seems that he can't go home tonight, so he called home a little earlier when he turned around, and last time Li Yanan said hello in advance, saying that he would not come back at night, otherwise the family would not know how much to worry about that night.
