Volume 1 Wuling Qin Traces Chapter 9 Unbelievable Secrets
The days at home have begun to become longer, and the work of me is so high and not low, my mother is taking my brother's things every day to count me down, so that I really don't want to go home, every day hiding in the teahouse to drink tea, watching people play cards, this time Tuesday Mao does not know where to run, I was bored for a few days, this day it rained and did not go out, suddenly remembered that the pattern on the cylinder is quite good-looking, so I took it out to play.
It's a bronze pillar with a fish and bird pattern, I don't know what it's used for, the skeleton was held in my hand until it died, it was probably a magic weapon or something, but I didn't see anything unusual when I looked closely.
I threw my things under the bed in boredom, ready to continue sleeping, I put my hand down without holding it steady, and suddenly there was a thud under the bed.
I looked down strangely, it was this bronze thing that fell down, this thing is empty?
I hurriedly picked up the cylinder, shook it, as if there was something in it, I pumped hard, it turned out that the beast's head on it was a cover, I was happy, I turned it hard, I opened it, poured it out, and saw that it was two sheepskins rolled in the iron cylinder.
A dense on it is filled with words I don't know, a bit like a seal book, I judge it is a seal book because when my grandfather was still there, he was a famous master of carving seals, and sometimes I would go to the study to watch him carve seals to play.
The other one is like a painting, some mountain peaks, water flows, marked with words, it looks like a map, the map of ancient times is different from the current map, there is no scale, anyway, it is such a general pattern. The five peaks are in different directions, with a higher peak in the middle than the surrounding peaks, and the summit of each peak is connected to this peak by a thin line. Each peak is marked with a few words, but unfortunately I don't know it either.
People are sometimes so strange, maybe I didn't know what I liked since I was a child, I didn't expect this to arouse my interest so much, I immediately ran out of the door to the study to look through my grandfather's previous big dictionary of seal characters, the next few weeks, I was at home, word by word translation up. And then compare with those historical materials, I have always been very fond of such boring things as history, but this time I didn't feel bored at all, maybe this is to satisfy my desire to snoop.
Fortunately, several generations of literati in my family, there are a lot of books in the family, from this time, my parents were very surprised, I no longer secretly went out to drink tea, play cards, push open the study table at any time is a stack of tall ancient books, literature, etc., my mother thought that I suddenly opened my mind, happy to meet people to praise my family pillars are finally sensible, the books to read at home can be more than a person. My brother also wrote a letter from the United States to encourage me, telling me to study as hard as he did and go to the United States in the futureγγγγγ
This translation, the next thing will lead to a complete change in my subsequent life, I and my friend Zhou Quan Zhou Quan Mao are involuntarily involved in this grand and mysterious and strange event, some things so far we have not been able to come to a plausible conclusion, and some people are still missing, some people have paid for their young lives, of course, I don't know at this time, 1919, the lunar calendar has not yet been the year, destined to leave a deep mark in history, The end of the First World War in the West, All new order is still being established, and the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement in China has caused a wave of general strikes by students and workers across the country...
In the Wuling Mountains in the southwest, we are also experiencing changes, although we have not yet realized these at that time.
Next, let me think carefully about how I, a 100-year-old man who has only studied in private school for a few years, can tell this historical event more clearly.
In 207 BC, the powerful and short-lived Qin Dynasty had come to the end of its history, and Prime Minister Zhao Gao forced Qin II to go to the Qin Emperor, and appointed Ziying, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, Fusu, as the King of Qin. The 35-year-old Ziying understood Zhao Gao's sinister intentions very well, and was afraid that he would become a puppet, so he formulated a plan to kill Zhao Gao with his two sons and personal eunuchs, and Ziying killed Zhao Gao five days later. But at this time, the princes of the world rose together, the nobles of the original six countries have returned to the country against Qin, in October of the same year, Liu Bang led the army into the customs, Ziying saw that the general trend had gone, so he and his wife and sons tied themselves with ropes, sat in a car pulled by the white horse, dressed in the white clothes worn by the funeral of the deceased, and carried the emperor's imperial jade seal, military talismans and other things, from Yidao personally to Liu Bangjun to surrender, the Qin Dynasty perished. Liu Bang's general Fan Xu suggested killing Ziying, but Liu Bang did not agree, but handed him over to the accompanying officials to take care of. More than a month later, after Xiang Yu led the army into Xianyang, he immediately killed Ziying, set fire to the Qin Palace, and carried out a massacre. This is recorded in the history books, so I will not elaborate on it.
But the next thing recorded on this secret scroll is a lot more surprising, after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, the secret scroll mentions a Zongzheng named Ge Zhang next to a child, after Ziying was killed, with his son Yi Ziying's youngest son (replaced Ziying with his own son), led a team of remnants, and a large number of rare treasures secretly into the Wuling Mountains.
Ge Zhang was originally the Sikong of Qianling County, and according to the records, he should be an official responsible for the construction and maintenance of civil engineering, water conservancy and transportation facilities in the territory, and was later promoted to Zongzheng because he participated in the provision of mercury for the tomb of the first emperor by the widow of Ba and the Qing Dynasty, and was promoted to Zongzheng.
According to the current statement, Ge Zhang should be a diehard loyalist of the Qin Dynasty, and the purpose of Ge Zhang's return to the tomb this time is because Ge Zhang is not only Zongzheng, but also proficient in astrology, feng shui, yin and yang gossip. He decided to build five large qi gathering platforms in the Wuling Mountains according to the five elements of yin and yang to redeem the defeat of the Qin Dynasty. At this time, the record in the volume mentions another famous Ba Jun Nanjun Man's "Tima (should be a wise man, a wizard and the like)", there is a "Di Jun Kan Yu Jue", Di Jun is the ancestor of the Ba people, this book I later checked a large number of ancient Ba people's information and did not have a clear record, but it was mentioned that the legend of Di Jun This person can call the wind and rain, can reach the heavens to listen, can not only talk to the gods, but also communicate with ghosts and gods, perhaps it is later generations according to his remarks and dialogues to be revised and organized.
After communication and negotiation between the two, Ge Zhang promised that after the matter was completed, Pakistan would be restored and Li Yu would be the king. So he decided to use what the two of them had learned in their lives to give birth to a spiritual mountain in the Wuling Mountains according to the direction of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Here again involves the idea of an ancient Chinese era. In the pre-Qin period of China, it was believed that the soul was actually immortal, and the soul was the two essences of yin and yang attached to the human body, and the soul belonged to the yang and attached to the human spirit. The spirit is yin, attached to the human body. After death, the soul can still be independent and pure, and all of this involves a "qi". After death, the soul qi rises to the sky as a god, and the body descends to the earth as a ghost, and the young children of the family have a chimney on their heads, so they can gather the "qi" of the ancestors of the family through the head of the six yangs to enhance their strength.
Ge Zhang and Yu decided to let Ziying's young son live somewhere on Lingshan, and hid a large number of treasures as sacrifices in Lingshan to "gather the spirit of the ancestors and re-establish the powerful Qin State".
