Chapter 121: The Jade Seal of the Country
That's what it represents
There is a piece of jade, which was made into a jade seal by people, and was given the right, and since then it has been a life and death game for it, and it has also become an ominous thing, and its past and present life are full of legendary stories.
The jade seal symbolizes the power and identity of the emperor, and according to legend, whoever falls into the hands of the jade seal may not die well, especially in the era of war; Why does this jade seal have such a spell?
At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, Gaozu entered Xianyang, Qin Ziying opened the door and surrendered, and presented the jade seal of the country, which should have been a symbol of imperial power and status, but it began to become a bad thing, and its appearance brought a bloody incident.
The jade seal is undoubtedly made of jade, and the name of that piece of jade was once called He's Bi, and the heirloom jade seal was made by He's Bi.
There is a story about He's wall: in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a mountain in the Chu State at that time, called Jinshan, and there was a piece of beautiful jade on the green mountain, but this beautiful jade was not radiant at the beginning, it had a layer of skin on the outside, and the jade was wrapped in it.
This piece of jade is Puyu, which refers to the jade that is wrapped, and the Shibi was originally a jade wrapped in a stone, and there was a woodcutter from the Chu State, whose name was Bian He, who went up the mountain to collect firewood, and he found this stone.
He felt that this was a treasure, so he dedicated the treasure to the king of Chu, at that time the king of Chu was Chu Li Wang Xiong, Bian He took this piece of jade to see the king of Chu Xiong, after the king of Chu saw the baby, he naturally did not understand.
So I invited the jade craftsman to come and see, after the jade craftsman came, he didn't look at the stone, first looked at the person who offered the jade, and saw that Bian He was wearing tatters, he was a woodcutter, and he thought that you could still find beautiful jade like this, which was a bit reasonable in the society at that time.
The jade craftsman looked at the stone again, it was rough and ordinary, and it was not surprising, so he said to King Chu Li Xiong Wei, this is a very ordinary stone, the king, you have been deceived by him.
After hearing this, King Chu Li cut off Bian He's left foot, and when King Chu Li died, his son King Chu Wu succeeded to the throne, and Bian He went to offer treasure again, and King Chu Wu naturally didn't understand, and invited the jade craftsman again.
There is a high probability that the jade craftsman invited is the same person, and the technical inheritance of that era is very narrow, that is, it is not the same person, but also a family, and the jade craftsman is adamant, this is fake, deceiving, it is an ordinary stone.
King Chu Wu was also very angry, so he cut off Bian He's right foot, and after a few years, King Chu Wu died, and his son King Chu Wen succeeded to the throne. In fact, he was also afraid of death, so he inquired in advance and knew that King Chu Wen was going to go on a parade.
So on the way he was on the way to parade, let the family carry it there, he sat on the side of the road, hugged the stone and wept bitterly, just as King Chu Wen passed by here, and when he heard the cry, he came to ask, and King Chu Wen also wanted to know whether there was any jade in this stone.
So he ordered the craftsman to unravel the stone, and finally the truth was revealed, this piece of Heshi Bi came from this piece, this piece of jade from the day it was born, it was full of blood, so many people think that this thing is an unlucky thing.
Later, the king of Chu later rewarded this piece of Heshi bi to a meritorious person, and this meritorious minister was called Chaoyang, and he was very happy, thinking that the king rewarded me with jade, which was equivalent to rewarding me with all the family heirlooms.
So a big feast, invite everyone to watch, the result of the banquet in the middle of the accident, the banquet placed on the side of the black dragon pool, halfway through the black dragon pond suddenly jumped out of a big fish, there are two or three meters so long, everyone rushed up to watch, and then returned to the hall after reading, the table put on the and the family bi is gone, taking advantage of the chaos someone stole it.
Who stole it, there is no way to know, decades later, He's Bi reappeared in the world, appeared in Zhao State, and appeared in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and its story led to two idioms, one returned to Zhao completely, and the other was guilty of Jing Pleading.
At that time, Zhao Guo had He's Bi, Qin heard about it and wanted it, King Qin said I am willing to take fifteen cities in exchange for your He's Bi, King Zhao hesitated, at this time a famous Wenchen Lin Xiangru, he said I take this piece of jade to Qin to see what King Qin means.
When I went to Qin to try it, I saw that the king of Qin didn't mean that, it was purely a lie, Lin Xiangru used his wits to redeem He's Bi, which is called returning to Zhao. Later, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang brought He's Bi from Zhao.
The craftsmen of Xianyang were ordered to carve it into the shape of a seal, and the seal was: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.
It means that this position is given by God, so that I can inherit the country from generation to generation, and this is how the jade seal of the country came, and the bi was originally circular, what does this wall mean? It was made into the shape of a ring, which was only started after the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there were walls at that time that were not in this shape, and no one knew what the shape of the wall was before the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But it can be verified, how can it be verified? There is an idiom called Zhulian, Zhulian is the stars in the sky, in a straight line, this astronomical phenomenon is called Zhulian, since ancient times there is a description of the nine stars in a row, at that time people are through the naked eye to observe the stars, when you see some special arrangements of the stars in the sky, you will think that it is a vision of opening and falling, there will be bad things happening, etc.
Among the many celestial phenomena, the legend is that it is a sign of a great catastrophe and a great upheaval.
What is the wall harmony, the shadows of the sun and the moon coincide to a wall together, the total solar eclipse, the total lunar eclipse is the wall together, the beads are small, the wall is large, and they are basically round.
Therefore, the wall of Heshi is a large jade bead, and then it was carved into a jade seal, so it was changed to a jade seal, although its shape has changed, but the bad luck brought by Heshi Bi to people, this spell has not changed.
It didn't take many years for Qin Shi Huang to get it in his hands, but he died on the road for unknown reasons when he was paraded, and his son Qin II got it in his hands, and he died in Huangquan before he could cover the heat!
and then to the prince of Qin, although Kaicheng surrendered and sacrificed the jade seal, but in the end, Ziying still let Xiang Yu kill him, and bad luck happened one after another.
It wasn't until Liu Bang got him in his hands that he was designated as the heirloom jade seal, and this jade seal has been in the Han Dynasty for nearly 400 years.
The jade seal of the country is now in the White Tiger Temple, guarded by heavy soldiers, and guarded by eunuchs, and the old eunuchs who guarded it had a breath of refuge and incomprehension.
Yang Yi once ordered someone to check the records in the palace, and these guards and eunuchs in the records were ordinary sprinkler eunuchs, and they did not have any martial arts, but Yang Yi felt that the matter here was by no means as simple as described in the records.
Before Jin Wuwei unfolded the guard of honor, Yang Yi went straight to the Jiguang Building, the new Jinwu Zhang Fei was outside the door as a guard, Yang Yi directly pushed open the heavy wooden door of the White Tiger Temple, and stepped on the bluestone slab in the building step by step to the golden palace where the jade seal of the country was placed.
I have consulted many ancient books of this era, and I have not found any trace of the origin of the jade seal of the country, so it seems that the description of this thing was made by the Qin Emperor entrusted by the master is correct. doll
The real trouble is its principle, because according to the description handed down by the Han royal family, the person who opens this jade seal can only be the person who responds to the emperor's order, and once the emperor's qi is insufficient, he cannot use this jade seal.
Although these are the secrets told by the eunuchs in the palace after being interrogated, Yang Yi understands in his heart that this is obviously nonsense.
If it is said that the emperor is not strong enough to use it, it is true that Qin Huhai and Ziying have not succeeded in using the jade seal of the country, and when they were the emperors, it was indeed a great chaos in the world, resulting in the collapse of the Qin State, but the question is what about Wang Mang?
If it is said that the emperors of the former Han Dynasty are not good, then after Wang Mang gets this jade seal, it should be the peace of the country and the people, but it is only more than ten years, Wang Mang died and the clan was wiped out, and in the end it was the Han family.
If history has not changed, then Ji Han is likely to be reborn, but Ji Han has never obtained the jade seal of the country, is there any connection between this?
Yang Yiyun made his true qi and fused his thoughts to the ethereal realm, at this moment, qi and intention merged, Yang Yi once again felt all kinds of fluctuations brewing in this world.
Every book, every shelf, and even the pavilion itself is filled with a thick and quaint fluctuation, as if telling of the changes that have taken place here over the centuries.
Only the heirloom jade seal has been silent, as if it is still a hard and cold jade, showing its completely different identity without words.
With spiritual exploration, it seems to be a boundless deep sea, and it seems to be a black hole representing the end, Yang Yi's spirit and will seem to be stripped from the body, if there is really a so-called "soul", then Yang Yi's soul at this moment has been separated from his body in the fluctuations and fluctuations of nothingness, this feeling, as if when he ascended to the throne of Dongyue Emperor before, that strange feeling of control, as if all the mountains and thousands of ghosts are under her control.
At this moment, she saw a different look in her eyes, which were ignorance and stupidity, as if all the spirits were separated from this body, and there was only an empty shell inside.
Yang Yi turned his head and saw the nothingness, the absolute nothingness and distortion began to spread, gradually spreading to himself, the nothingness was attracting him, and Yang Yi also felt his own fluctuations.
It belongs to the conquest and domination of the emperor.
Yang Yi felt his own fluctuations, and then as if he had no teacher, his consciousness began to resonate with this fluctuation, as if it was the chirping of bees, and in the resonance, the nothingness representing the jade seal of the country began to merge with Yang Yi's fluctuations.
Nothingness melts into the waves, and the waves tremble and return to nothingness, the perfect unity, as it should have been from the beginning of the universe.
This time, Yang Yi opened his eyes again, and the world became different from then on, even if he didn't have to feel it calmly and deliberately, Yang Yi could "see" the fluctuations of the world, which was different from visual seeing, but seemed to have gained a new feeling, and he could understand the information contained in the things around him just through the waves.
And Yang Yi also felt his own fluctuations, although weak, but they were constantly growing, this fluctuation seemed to be the two sides of his body, although hidden in the void, but in fact it was his most essential existence.
The fluctuations were growing, growing at a geometric rate, as if devouring the power from the Void, and the waves were expanding at a frantic rate.
Countless True Elements surged from his body, and Yang Yi felt the fullness of True Elements in his body, as if he had countless True Elements available for his own use as long as he wanted to, but this was obviously an illusion.
Yang Yi looked at the heirloom jade seal again, and at this moment he already felt the meaning of the nothingness.
In the end of decay and decay, nothing remains, and finally disappears, and only the subjugation of the nothingness that symbolizes disappearance and end, and the fluctuations that represent existence and continuity, will continue.
Such a treasure is obviously not what Emperor Qin could have cast back then, looking at the image that can flash away in the illusion, Yang Yi remembered an imperial treasure - Kongtong Seal.
The Kongtong seal is an ancient artifact, and it is said that it can make the person who gets it not grow old or die, and can get everything imaginable.
Kongtong Yin guards the central area of Kongtong in the sea, the undead dragons of the sea, regard Kongtong as their guardian, and are guarding the life of Kongtong on the sea to prevent mortals from approaching, therefore, many people want to find Kongtong Yin, but in the end they do not return, there is no trace, and there are rumors that those who went to the sea to look for it were killed.
Because the seal of Kongtong is printed with nine golden dragons, and there is the honor of the emperor, so people think that with the Kongtong seal, they can abolish the emperor.
It is said that there are nine golden dragons engraved on the seal of Kongtong, and they are all intertwined with each other, in addition, its seal seat is also carved on all sides of the holy face of the emperor of the five directions, from ancient times to the present, many people believe that as long as you get the Kongtong seal, you can sit on the whole world, so, many people also go to sea to find this seal.
Although there are many people looking for it, but in the end, there is no return, nowhere to be found, and it is rumored that those who went to the sea to find the seal were eaten by the people of the dragon clan. In ancient times, the Kongtong seal was held by the Emperor of the Five Directions, and later, this seal was obtained by Xia Qi, and Xia Qi also established the Xia Dynasty, but Xia Qi implemented the system of "family world".
Therefore, in the mortal world, Taishang Laojun, as the leader of the human religion, in order to prevent future generations from disrespecting the emperor and using the ability of the Kongtong seal to do evil and harm the country and the people, so he personally took back the Kongtong seal, and since then the Kongtong seal has been owned by the Taishang Laojun.
There is also a saying that the person who holds this seal can abolish the emperor, under the seal of Kongtong, and also hold the word Kongtong talisman of the talisman, legend, this talisman is in ancient times, the Emperor of the Five Directions in order to firmly suppress the demons on the sea, the blessing of the avenue talisman.
The Kongtong seal is printed with nine golden dragons, wandering around, full of immortal energy, in addition, its seal is also engraved with the faces of the five heavenly emperors.
There are also two characters printed on the seal, which is the word Kongtong, which is said to have been blessed by the Emperor of the Five Directions in ancient times in order to stabilize the demons, and since ancient times, many people have believed that as long as they obtain the seal, they can sit in the highest position between heaven and earth.
So there should be some kind of connection between the jade seal of the country and the Kongtong seal, Yang Yi guessed that there is a high probability that the jade seal of the country is a fragment of the Kongtong seal, so what happened between heaven and earth back then, so that such a treasure will be shattered?
This treasure should be in charge of the Emperor of Heaven and used to rule the heavens, and now it has become the certificate of the Emperor of Mankind, who is playing chess?
