Chapter 280: The Three Great Dooms of the Book Collection
Han Peacock looked at this stone house, the stone house was only more than two meters high, next to a piece of bluestone, it can be seen that this stone house should be one with the surrounding bluestone.
The diameter of the stone house will not exceed one and a half meters, such a large stone, but the grotto that has been hollowed out more than one meter is a little more than a meter, this grotto, so children can enter, adults want to enter, they can only curl up and sit in.
"Clean up the floor, such a heavy stone house, ordinary people can't push it, it seems that there can't be a cave on this stone house leading to the ground, so you can only push him aside." Li Xindao.
"How is that possible? How could such a heavy stone house be pushed. "Money planted trees.
Li Xin said: "If you don't push, how do you know that you can't push?" ”
Seeing Li Xin's confident appearance, everyone believed him, and after the floor was cleared for a while, Li Xin began to let people flush with water again.
"Wait." Li Xin snatched the water pipe from a worker's hand and began to rush towards a place, and soon, a groove on this side was washed out by the water.
"Come here, rinse around this groove." Li Xin commanded all the workers, all of whom were washing the floor around him.
Soon, eight grooves were exposed on the floor, which was carved out of monolithic bluestone.
"Everybody pushed the stone house towards the groove and saw if they could push it." Li Xin commanded seven or eight workers, put down the water pipes and began to push the stone house.
However, this stone house has not moved for many years, and even if there are pulleys underneath, it is not so easy to push, and it is very fast. It confirmed Han Peacock's idea, those seven or eight workers really couldn't push the stone house, not to mention pushing, even if they used their strength to eat, the stone house didn't move at all.
"It shouldn't be! Could it be that it is in the wrong direction? Li Xin said to himself.
Han Peacock said: "It should be right, these grooves should be slides, you all let me try." ”
As soon as the workers left, Han Peacock roared. Jump in depth. He made a tiger leap, kicked his legs on the stone house, and only heard a bang, the stone house that had not moved at all just now. It's a violent sway. Just listen to a squeak. The stone house moved slightly.
"Okay, now you're pushing and pushing, and you should be able to push now." Han Peacock said.
Li Xin said: "Good kung fu. The hands are two doors, all with the feet to hit people, you have the strength of these two feet, right? ”
"It's a compliment, the strength of a few hundred catties is there, and the strength of a thousand catties is a bit exaggerated." Han Peacock said.
Li Xin said: "If you don't borrow the strength of your body, you really don't have the power of a thousand catties, just by relying on your actions just now, plus the inertia of your body, the power of a thousand catties is indispensable." ”
"Let's not talk about that, let's see how the stone house reacts!" Han Peacock said.
Seven or eight workers began to push the stone house again, only to hear a creaking and rattling sound, and the stone house was actually pushed.
Everyone stared at the bottom of the stone house, but after the stone house moved, there was no movement under the stone house, and the exposed ground was no different from the place where the stone house was pressed now, and there were only some grooves.
"The mechanism is indeed this stone house, but it shouldn't be a passage under this stone house, after all, the stone house is so heavy, it is impossible to dig a passage under the stone house." Han Peacock said.
Li Xin pointed to the bluestone wall behind the stone house and said: "Then there is only one possibility, this stone wall should have been stored for a long time, and the role of the stone house should be to cover this stone wall." ”
Han Peacock knocked on the stone wall in the past, felt it, he pushed it with his hand, but he didn't expect that just a little force, he was flashed, and the stone wall was actually able to turn.
There is a shaft in the center of the stone wall, and with a slight push, the stone wall will turn, just like a modern glass door that turns.
"Wait, you can't go in." Han Peacock and the others were just about to see what was going on inside, when someone opened their mouth to stop them.
Han Peacock looked over, it was an old man, this old man should have followed Gao Dashan: "Old man, what do you mean?" ”
Gao Dashan said: "Xiao Han, you are not qualified to excavate the ancient tomb buried in my country now, right?" ”
"I really don't qualify, so I won't go in." Han Peacock smiled and stopped speaking.
He doesn't need to be in a hurry, money and planting trees will naturally not make them feel better.
Sure enough, Qian Chongshu grabbed a few old men: "Come on, send them out, if you don't accept it, you will beat them out directly." ”
Qian Zhushu's prestige in their family is still very high, and all the people in their village have the surname Qian, so when he gave an order, almost no one hesitated.
As soon as Qian Chongshu's words fell, several young workers stepped forward and pushed and shoved a few old men out.
"What are you doing? Did you know that this is a crime? Gao Dashan didn't have much composure at this time.
Jiang Lin was originally watching the excitement on the side, but when he found someone walking towards him, he immediately said: "I am a friend of Han Peacock, I just came to visit my friend." ”
"Mr. Han?" Qian Chongshu looked at Han Peacock.
Han Peacock said: "He is indeed my friend. ”
Just when Gao Dashan and their experts were about to be driven away, Li Xin spoke: "Village Chief Qian, it's better to leave them behind, since it is the tomb of your ancestors, don't be afraid to let them see it, besides, I suspect that this is an empty tomb, with these people following, I can also give you a testimony, and it can also prove that you didn't take anything out of the ancient tomb." ”
"Empty tomb?" Qian planted trees and was taken aback.
Li Xin said: "The Taoist of the True Water Temple must know this passage, what else do you say is left in the ancient tomb?" ”
Han Peacock said: "There will always be some left, right?" They couldn't even move the coffin. ”
"That's true, but it's hard to say what's inside the coffin." Li Xin said again.
"Leave them alone, let's go down and have a look." Qian planted trees to stop the young men who were driving up the mountain.
Li Xin said: "Get a torch here." ”
Han Peacock said: "This passage has been blocked for a long time, and it is too dangerous to take a torch to enter." ”
"What are you doing with torches? We have flashlights. A young man said.
Qian Chongshu said: "You kid don't understand, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Brother Han Xing. You say, why use torches? The young man was not convinced.
Han Xing said with a smile: "If the flame will not be extinguished in the cave, it means that there is oxygen in it, however, there are many tombs that have fire dragon mechanisms, so it is also very dangerous to enter the ancient tomb with an open flame." ”
"Fire dragon mechanism?" A lot of people don't know about this kind of mechanism.
Han Xing said: "To put it simply, it is gas or methane, if there is such a thing in the cave, or if this kind of thing is deliberately put in, it will burn in case of fire." If you are in a small cave. It is more dangerous and will explode. ”
Han Peacock was closest to the door, and his perception was the clearest, so he said, "There is no smell of decay." There shouldn't be much danger. ”
Han Peacock was the first to walk in. The structure of the tomb is simple. Upon entering, there is a narrow passage that extends downward, as if hollowed out of the rock.
Han Peacock entered first, after entering. His body leaned forward visibly, and he glanced strangely at the passage, where there was a small platform of one square meter square, and the rest of the place was downhill.
Since he had to give way to the people behind him after entering, he could not stay on the flat ground, so he went directly into the downhill and went down the slope deep into the tomb.
After passing through this long and narrow passage, the space behind it is not large, only one main and two auxiliary burial chambers, and two auxiliary burial chambers are empty, there is nothing, until you enter the main burial chamber, you see a sarcophagus.
At this time, no one is fighting for it, an empty tomb, the valuable thing is just a sarcophagus, but the sarcophagus is likely to be the ancestor of the Qian family, this kind of thing, even if they are self-righteous in the tall mountains, they dare not open their mouths to rob the villagers here.
"Open the coffin and take a look! If I'm not mistaken, the pattern here has been destroyed, if the ancestor of the Qian family really knows something, it is absolutely impossible for his ancestor to remain here, this should be an empty coffin. Li Xin said.
The sarcophagus was easily opened, and there was a wooden coffin inside, and when it was opened, there were only some clothes inside, and nothing else, which was at most a well-dressed mound.
Li Xin didn't look at what was in the sarcophagus, and it seemed that he was very confident in his judgment.
Han Peacock saw so many people surrounding the sarcophagus, so he didn't get closer, and he also began to observe the surrounding environment.
"Mr. Han, did you find anything?" Li Xindao.
Han Peacock said: "If there is anything to be found, it is that this place should be collapsing, just like the fracture that occurs after being hollowed out underground, which is often encountered in many coal mining areas." ”
"It's a pity that Mr. Han doesn't learn the art of feng shui, your observation is so careful, it's really in a word, if I'm not mistaken, the spiritual spring in front of the True Water View should be older than the True Water View." Li Xindao.
Han Peacock said strangely: "Didn't the Taoist priest of the True Water View dig it up after he came?" ”
"It should be before, since Mr. Han can look at water, do you see if there is water under this tomb?" Li Xin asked.
Han Peacock sensed the moisture around him and found that it was actually empty underneath, but it was not a tomb underneath, but a dry underground river, which was honeycomb-shaped, hollowing out the entire tomb underneath.
"There used to be water, but now it's dry." Han Peacock told the truth.
"That's right, there is water in the ground, so there is no problem with the tomb above, and this is the best tomb, no matter who is buried here, it will be used by future generations.
But due to the discovery of the spiritual spring, the water here was slowly evacuated, even if it was not evacuated, it also made the underground dark river have a gap, such a situation appeared, the first to be damaged was the structure of this hill, the geological structure was destroyed, and the dragon vein would naturally be affected. Li Xin said.
Han Peacock said: "You mean that if the groundwater is pumped out too much, the ground will also collapse, right?" ”
"Yes, this should be the main reason for the destruction of that Hidden Golden Dragon, otherwise, it is unlikely that there will be so many faults here by relying on cannonballs alone." Li Xindao.
"It was because the dragon veins here were discovered that they had been damaged, so the descendants of the Qian family transferred the remains of their ancestors?" Han Peacock said.
Li Xin said: "I have only thought of such an explanation. ”
"It seems that after the destruction of this place, the later True Water Meditation Taoist. It's been repaired again, they've run out of use, and now it's my turn to come here and reuse it again. Han Peacock said with a wry smile.
There are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and he can see what he wants to do, and people may have done it hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.
Li Xindao: "It's a pity that this piece of feng shui treasure land, it's because I covet some spiritual springs, so I ruined this place, otherwise"
Although Li Xin did not finish. But Han Peacock knew what he meant. But even if a dragon vein is retained, can there still be an emperor now?
He didn't believe this, even if the ancestors of the Qian family were buried here, their Qian family didn't have a celebrity, right?
"Mr. Han. Here you are the most learned. You come and help me look at this letter. "Just when Han Peacock and Li Xin deliberated on the changes here. He heard Qian planting trees calling him.
"Am I the most learned? Uncle Qian is pulling hatred for me! Han Peacock looked at Gao Dashan and the others whose eyes were almost beginning to burst into flames, which of these old men was weak in knowledge?
Qian Zhishu doesn't trust those old men, that's for sure. So Han Peacock didn't say much, walked over directly, and saw an envelope with yellowed paper.
"Qian Qianyiliu? Qian Qianyi? This is Qianjiajiao, you all have the surname Qian here, right? Han Peacock looked at the four traditional characters on the envelope, a little dumbfounded.
Could it be that this is really related to Qian Qianyi? If this is the case, the book of the Nine Kingdoms that he received in the morning will be very interesting.
"Who is Qian Qianyi? He's famous? Qian Zhushu asked.
Han Peacock said, "Uncle Qian, where did you find this letter?" ”
Qian Chongshu said: "Found in the clothes in the mound of clothes, there is a tablet inside the clothes, which is very similar to the tablet on our ancestors, there is a hidden groove in such a tablet, you see, this letter is hidden in the hidden groove of the tablet." ”
As he spoke, Qian Chongshu handed Han Peacock a spiritual position written in black and white characters, and the spiritual position was in Qian Chongshu's hand, and there was an extra dark groove in an instant, and the letter should have been taken out from here.
A few big characters written in white lacquer on the spiritual seat: Qian Qianyi's spiritual position.
Seeing this spiritual position, Han Peacock was inevitably stunned again, how could Qian Qianyi be buried here, and it was a well-dressed mound?
Qian Qianyi is also very famous in modern times, he is most famous for his old husband and young wife, and he took Liu Rushi, one of the four beauties in the late Ming Dynasty.
This celebrity is a constant acquaintance, and the cemetery after his death is also in his hometown, although Liu Ru is did not enter his family cemetery, but her cemetery is not far from Qian Qianyi's cemetery, such a celebrity, everything is transparent, how can his spiritual position appear here, and the time is not right.
The age of this ancient tomb is definitely more than three hundred and seventy years, thinking of this, Han Peacock's heart moved, Qian Qianyi has been dead for three hundred and seventy years, could it be that Qian Qianyi's spiritual seat was placed here at that time?
If so, what is the relationship between the Qian family and Qian Qianyi?
Full of doubts in his heart, Han Peacock opened the letter, and sure enough, this is a suicide note left by Qian Qianyi, and the Qian family surnamed Qian in Qian Jiajiao is indeed the descendant of Qian Qianyi.
"What is written in the letter?" Qian planted trees anxiously.
Han Peacock said: "The general meaning is that Qian Qianyi is going to do some dangerous things, afraid of harming the Nine Clans, so he left a back road, he hid some of the family's books here, and secretly transferred a son to raise here, took root here incognito, and guarded this ancient tomb." ”
"What about the books?" Gao Dashan couldn't help but say.
Han Peacock said: "We are not the first to discover here, so you have also seen it, there is no book here?" ”
"You show us the letter, we can't trust you, who knows if what you say is true." An old man said.
Han Peacock directly returned the letter to Qian Zhishu and said, "Uncle Qian, you can do it yourself." ”
At this time, Qian Zhushu had already guessed something, and there were not a few cultural people in their village, so the ancient books that appeared in their village were a bit of a problem.
There were a lot of ancient books in their village, and he knew better than anyone how those ancient books came from, except that some of them came from the True Water Temple, and some of them were handed down from their ancestors.
Therefore, by this time, he had completely clear that the ancient books they had stolen from the True Water View belonged to them, and those who originally belonged to their Qian family were just the Taoists who were moved out of the tomb by the True Water View.
Naturally, these money planting trees will not be said, and the origin of the Nine Kingdoms Chronicles that Han Peacock bought from Qian Daniu's house today is also very clear, it must be Qian Qianyi's collection, because there is Qian Qianyi's collection of books on it.
Qian Chongshu knew the whereabouts of those ancient books, and although he felt remorseful in his heart, he also knew that it was impossible to gain any more, so he directly handed the envelope to Gao Dashan and let them die of this heart.
When Qian Qianyi was young, he liked rare ancient books and was famous for his rich collection of books.
After the death of the bibliophile Zhao Qimei, the books in his "Maiwang Pavilion" were all attributed to him with 20,000 gold.
He also purchased the collections of well-known bibliophiles such as Liu Feng's "Cuozai Pavilion", Qian Yunzhi's "Hanging Chime Room", and Yang Yi's "Qijuni Mountain House", among which there are more than 10,000 volumes of Tang manuscripts, Song and Yuan books, and rare books.
Later, he spared no expense to collect ancient books, and the scholars gathered in front of the door, and the books in the collection could be equal to the collection of books in the imperial palace, exceeding the collection of books by Ye Sheng, Wu Kuan, Zhu Mumu and other families.
When Qian Qianyi was middle-aged, he once built a "water house" to hide the books he received, and in his later years, he lived in "Hongdou Villa", and built a new "Qianyun Building", taking the meaning of "the true Xuanyun Immortal Lady descended", and named his book building as "Qianyun Building", there is a single copy of Song carving, and there are more secret books.
Its collection of books has been re-governed, divided into 73 large cabinets, and it is self-proclaimed: "I am poor in my evening, and books can be rich."
Scholars say that "south of the great river, there is no richer collection of books than money".
But in the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), the young girl was playing with her nursing mother in the study building, and the candle fell into the pile of paper by mistake, and the fire was burned.
It is claimed that the fire of Qianyunlou and the burning of books by Emperor Liang Yuan in Jiangling, and the burning of books in Li Zicheng's Wenyuan Pavilion are "the three major misfortunes of book collection". (To be continued......)
