Xu Ming said: "Now let's talk about this Southern Han Dynasty, the first emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty was Liu Zhi, who changed his name to Liu Yan after being called the emperor, and then changed his name to Liu Gong, and then changed his name to Liu - (this word is read strictly, the dragon goes down to the sky, and the meaning of the flying dragon in the sky is taken from "Zhou Yi"). During Liu Yan's reign, he relied on scholars to govern the government, and did his best to serve scholars as assassins for the states, and also through the imperial examination, he hired more than ten Jinshi and Ming Jing as officials every year, avoiding the trouble of military officials being dominant. But Liu Yan is actually a desolate and cruel king, gathering jewelry and treasures, building a large number of buildings, and his palace is "hundreds, not all", "more than a thousand palaces", "three cities, half of the palace range". Book of the Southern Han Dynasty. In the second paragraph of Gaozu Ji", it is said that Liu Yan 'is outside the violent government, but only the civil engineering, which is extremely beautiful. As Zhaoyang, Xiuhua palaces, with gold for Yangyang, silver for the ground, and the trees are decorated with silver; There is a canal below, soaked in real pearls; Crystal and amber are the sun and moon, and they are arranged on the east and west floors. Make the jade hall bead hall, decorated with gold and green feathers. In his later years, he came up with new ideas, made the Nanxun Palace, the pillars were all transparent, the cornerstone stone was carved, and the incense was burned in each furnace...... "all gathered the treasures of the South China Sea, thinking that the jade hall bead hall" was gorgeous, and the beads were decorated. Xu Yang continued: "That is to say, the palaces he built were all topped with gold, paved with silver, and decorated with a large number of pearls, crystals, and amber. A canal is set up in the hall, and the bottom of the canal is full of pearls and jade, and then the sun and moon are carved into the shape of the sun and moon with crystal amber, and it is inlaid to the top of the jade pillar in the hall. In the palace, you can see the beauty of mountains and rivers, the light of the sun, moon and stars. Such specifications are only general specifications, and it is mentioned in the history books that the Nanxun Hall he built in his later years, "the pillars are transparent, carved wisps, and the foundation stones are placed in each furnace to burn incense, and there is no gas", which has made the above-mentioned furnishings become obsolete and shabby, and how gorgeous it is, people today can no longer imagine. ”

When Xu Ming said this, he paused and said, "In addition to being extravagant and extravagant, Liu Yan also has a big hobby. ”

Xu Ming said: "Liu Yan has a fierce personality and likes to use all kinds of torture on people! He reinstated many of the harsh punishments that had been abolished, and he used all kinds of torture that were popular in ancient times, and he innovated what was not available in ancient times. Liu Yan likes to kill people the most, and when innocent people are tortured inhumanely, he will feel great pleasure. ”

Liu Yan created torture instruments such as soup kettles and iron beds, and set up nasal irrigation, tongue cutting, dismemberment, picking, cannon burning, cooking and steaming and other criminal punishments, often killing people for fun. He has studied torture in ancient times, such as the punishment of the 'Punishment of the Basin', do you know what it is? ”

Ah Hu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, what kind of punishment is that?" ”

"In ancient times, the torture of 'the punishment of the basin' was a kind of torture in which many poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes were placed in deep pits and pools, and the tortured people were stripped of their clothes and shoes, thrown naked into the pits and pools, and were bitten to death by snakes and scorpions, which was abolished in the early Western Zhou Dynasty." Xu Yang said: "Liu Yan built the punishment of 'water prison' according to this. As the name suggests, the prison is full of water, and there are many snakes in Lingnan, gathering poisonous snakes in the water, and then throwing people into it. And he especially liked to witness the executioner torture, seeing the torture of the victim in pain, life is worse than death, and he enjoyed drinking and having fun on the sidelines. Sometimes when Liu Yan is in a hurry, he will throw people into hot water first, then take them out to dry in the sun, then apply salt and wine, then go to dry, and then throw them into water, and so on until the skin and flesh are rotten and slowly die. ”

Ah Hu and Zhu Zi both felt sick for a while when they heard what Xu Yang said, even if they were brave men, they couldn't help but be shocked when they thought of the torture of the ancient president.

Xu Ming said: "After Liu Yan's death, Liu Jue ascended the throne and was assassinated by Liu Sheng in Changchun Palace. Liu Sheng killed his brother and usurped the throne, and then killed all his younger brothers. This Liu Sheng is even more fierce and murderous, and his father Liu Yan is not as good as him! Liu Yan likes to use torture to kill people, and Liu Sheng uses more cruel criminal laws to deter members of the royal family, civil and military ministers, and ordinary people, so that the people of the Southern Han Dynasty live in purgatory. He continued: "Liu Sheng, who exterminated humanity, built the 'Life Hell', which was actually a torture chamber, in which all kinds of torture in the world were heinous, and the cruelty far exceeded that of his father. ”

Qiu Tian thought for a moment and said, "So, the thirteen statues in the Great Righteousness Hall in front of you could be the brothers killed by Liu Sheng?" ”

Zhou De nodded and said: "Judging from the shape of the thirteen statues, they should be noble people, quite princely, they should be them." ”

Nanyang sneered and said: "Hmph, this Liu Sheng is really perverse, he ruthlessly killed all his siblings, his hands were stained with the blood of his brothers, and he even regarded his evil deeds as a righteous act to the victims, and left this kind of murder of his brother and brother to beautify and publicize it." ”

Gao Qin blinked his eyes wide and said, "We should have thought that the owner of this ancient site was the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, and from the perspective of time, although the Chinese style of the ancient site is strange, it is quite similar to the Tang style. It's even more obvious in location. In terms of the scale of construction of the ancient ruins, it is in line with the style of the Southern Han Dynasty emperors' poverty and luxury, and they are often decorated with gold, silver and jewelry, which is extremely luxurious. The murderous organs, bloody scenes, and tragic deaths we saw along the way were the favorite means of play for the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty. ”

Zhou De said: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan talents gathered, some were to avoid war, and some were the descendants of famous ministers who were exiled to Lingnan, among which there were many high-ranking people, presumably the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty sent these people to build this mysterious and strange underground palace. ”

"The archaeological community has always believed that Liu Yin was buried in Deling, Liu Yan was buried in Kangling, and Liu Sheng was buried in Zhaoling, so my sister and I always felt that this place should have a lot to do with the Southern Han Dynasty, but we never thought that this was the mausoleum of the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty." Xu Ming said: "However, it seems that Zhaoling is just a deceptive tomb, Liu Sheng is really buried here, but this ancient site is too peculiar, the structure is weird, and it doesn't look like a traditional mausoleum." ”

Gao Qin said: "Since this is built by Liu Sheng, then Master Zhou's statement is likely to be correct, this is not only an imperial tomb, but also a mysterious place to cultivate immortals." ”

Everyone immediately remembered what Master Zhou had said about the meaning of the gold medal ancient text excavated outside the ancient ruins - "Bliss Immortal Land, Feather Ascension to Immortal".

Nanyang said: "Does this Emperor Liu Sheng have anything to do with cultivating immortals?" ”

After Zhou De confirmed that the owner of the tomb was Liu Sheng, he was very emotional and said: "It is recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Ten Kingdoms, 'In the seventh year of Qianhe, the emperor entered Yingzhou, received the divine pill in the savages, and followed the Yunhua stone room to hide. He silently said, "'...... In Russia, there is a stream, with short brown clothes, and a smile, calling himself a savage, and he has no name. Mr. Yun Xige made alchemy in this stone room, and the medicine became a flame, and he jumped through the clouds, so that the savages could ambush the fire and extend the pill, and the secret pill was in the spirit mansion. Five hundred years after the cloud day, when there is a real person who descends here, Ziyi should return it to Dan. Yesterday, it was slightly calculated, and the age of lifting the light and single stasis, until the year of Tu Wei's nightmare, there will be 490 rituals, and the time will be true to the Lord of Virtue. It is clear from the words of the king, and the savages came because of their prostrates. Where is the elixir for the Taoist? The savage said, 'Ears are close by.' Then he took out a small stone letter from the cliff. There is a golden book and an ancient seal on the letter, and the title is 'the pill of nine transformations', and there are seven grains of the divine pill inside, which are as big as millet and shoot people with brilliance. The immortal opened a letter to take the pill and bowed to himself. The savage swirled and disappeared into the cracks of the stones, as if he had stopped. This is the "Biluo Cave Yunhua Imperial Room Record" written by Zhong Yunzhang, the right prime minister of the Southern Han Dynasty, which records the process of the savage offering pills. ”

At this time, the pillar interjected: "...... What 'savages'...... What else is 'the Lord of Virtue'...... Expert, how can a wild man still speak? ”

Zhou De smiled at the pillar and said: "The 'savage' in the text refers to the nameless old Taoist who cultivates outside the world, this master is an immortal who cultivates and feathers with Ge Hong's generation, and the Tao is extremely high. After the immortals offered the pill, Liu Sheng's civil ministers and military generals said that his virtue was in line with the way of heaven, so he could move the gods and should become immortals. However, Liu Sheng claimed that he still thought of the people and the world, and he was afraid that the subjects and the people would not be able to do without him, a virtuous king, and he was not in a hurry to take the Divine Pill, but hid the Divine Pill. ”

Nanyang sneered and said, "Hmph! I'm afraid that this story was written and acted by Liu Sheng, and he beautified himself as a British and virtuous saint, which is really ridiculous! ”

"Yes, the attitude of the archaeological community towards this document has always been that in ancient times when superstition was common, Liu Sheng fabricated a beautiful myth in order to consolidate his dictatorship, to mythologize and beautify himself, and to cover up his tyrannical and vicious soul and murderous and bloody atrocities." Zhou De said coldly: "However, after seeing all kinds of strange powers in this ancient ruins, do you still think that this myth of Liu Sheng's cultivation of immortals must be fake?" ”
