Chapter 4: The Tomb Behind the Imperial Tomb
This Qin Shi Huang is also Ying Zheng, he was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and later returned to Qin State. In 247 BC, he ascended the throne at the age of 13. In 238 BC, he quelled the rebellion of the Marquis of Changxin, and then got rid of the powerful minister LΓΌ Buwei and began to monopolize the government. From 230 BC to 221 BC, he successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, completed the great cause of unifying China, and established a unified multi-ethnic state with centralized power - the Qin Dynasty
After the unification, Qin Shi Huang believed that he had made meritorious contributions to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and adopted the title of "Emperor" of the Three Emperors and the "Emperor" of the Five Emperors to form the title of "Emperor", and was the first monarch in Chinese history to use the title of "Emperor", so he called himself "First Emperor". Naturally, his mausoleum was an absolute luxury.
"Old Wu, I'm tired to death, it's finally here, this tomb of Qin Shi Huang and his old man, from the outside, is quite extravagant, will it be more luxurious inside? Why don't we buy tickets and go in first. The bamboo pole panted with its mouth wide open, and its clothes were already soaked.
Wu Tiansheng was also tired, the half-hour walk was really enough, neither of them brought water, and there were no water vendors along the way, just a few stalls selling drinks outside the emperor's tomb. Wu Tiansheng bought four bottles of water, and the bamboo pole got the tickets, and the two of them planned to enter the emperor's mausoleum, but they didn't expect Lao Wu to discover any secrets.
The rolling mountains embedded in the sky in the distance reflect the glittering golden light in the light of the setting sun, and a very high mountain peak protrudes in the middle, which looks extraordinarily magnificent, like a beautiful picture.
Wu Tiansheng pointed to the mountain peak and said: "Bamboo pole, you see, there are almost all small hills around here, but that peak is surprisingly tall, don't you think it's strange?" β
When the bamboo pole heard it, he observed it for a while, thought that it made some sense, and sighed: "Old Wu, your eyes are poisonous enough, you can find this, what?" Any questions? β
Wu Tiansheng remembered a tomb described in the bamboo pole last night, which seemed to be quite similar to this place, so he explained: "You see, there is no obstacle between here and that mountain, it is very wide, suitable for birds to fly, for the vermilion bird; On the left side of the mountain there is a relatively lush wood, and the river on our left, looking at the flow direction should be from the side of the mountain, the dragon belongs to the wood in the five elements, and also because of the cyan wood, it is a green dragon; The trees on the right are obviously less than on the left, slightly open, and the road should be very ventilated, for the white tiger; Now the left green dragon, the right white tiger, and the upper vermilion bird are all there, if there is a valley behind this peak, quiet and quiet, then it is Xuanwu. If this is the case, then this place is a treasure of feng shui that is upwind and watery, and can not be disturbed by strong winds and rains. β
The bamboo pole's expression was full of doubts, looking at Lao Wu with a confused face, they looked at each other, blinked, and looked very puzzled. The bamboo pole asked coldly: "Old Wu, how do you know so much?" I saw that as soon as Suzaku came to kung fu, you completely comprehended him? What exactly are you? Also, is there a tomb there? β
Wu Tiansheng heard his question, and a bewildered expression appeared on his face. His expression suddenly became nervous, but there was no way, he blamed himself for being stupid, and the matter had come to this point, so he had to tell the bamboo pole that he was a descendant of Captain Jin.
At that moment, the bamboo pole stared at Lao Wu's face, and said with a look that he couldn't grasp the essentials: "Good guy, then it's all right, I'll say I'm not wrong." In this way, the other side of the mountain may be the location of the suspected grave I mentioned last night? β
Wu Tiansheng shook his head and retorted: "Doubtful graves, that is, tombs that are fictitious for the purpose of confusing people, are also the most common way to counter tomb robbery, that is, to conceal the tomb site, so that the tomb robbers do not know where they are. The suspicious tomb originated in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, when the phenomenon of tomb robbery was serious, resulting in various forms of anti-tomb robbery, there was a so-called "doubtful tomb" and "virtual tomb", that is, the situation of confusing tomb robbers with real and false tombs. Among them, the "doubtful grave" set up by Cao Cao is the most famous. Folklore has it that Cao Cao has as many as 72 "doubtful graves", and some "doubtful graves" are even set up in the water. Quanzhou folklore also has a legend that General Shi Lang has a total of seven "virtual tombs", which are located at the gates of several ancient cities in Quanzhou. I think that such a good feng shui treasure, if someone really uses it as a grave of doubt, then this person is either a fool or a high-powered monarch. β
"Then do we want to go to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and his old man to have a look?" , the bamboo pole smiled.
Wu Tiansheng's face was expressionless, he didn't answer, just glanced at him obliquely a few times, and then he excitedly went to the ticket window to refund the ticket.
Now the sun is rising high, and the sun is smoking. This wasteland was full of heat waves, as if burning with raging flames, and the two of them felt the heat, and instantly sweated profusely, and the heat spared their bodies. The vast wasteland is hard to come to an end, dead and majestic, quiet, with a straight face, always giving people a monotonous color: yellow, yellow, always a scorching yellow. It is as if nature has frozen the turbulent waves and the empty angry waves here in an instant, making it stand still forever.
After walking for a while, it can be regarded as coming, he is really anxious about the bamboo pole, he can't wait to grow wings to fly over, if it is really a bird, this wasteland is really free for him. Near the foot of the mountain, where the sun blocks off a large area, the heat is not so unbearable.
"Old Wu, it's here, where is this tomb?" , the bamboo pole sat on a stone, wiping sweat.
Lao Wu replied: "If there is a tomb, it is also in the valley, we don't know if there is a valley now, how do we know if there is a tomb?" Let's go up and have a look first. β
The two of them didn't rest for long, and they had to go up the mountain again. On the left side of their walk, the woods are lush and block out a large area of sunlight. At first, it was okay, they stopped and stopped, talked and laughed, didn't care about the backache and legs, sweated, and climbed up with great interest. But halfway up the mountain, the legs of the bamboo pole became extremely heavy, and it was difficult to take another step.
Lao Wu saw the bamboo pole's thoughts, and said, "Why don't we take a rest first, we've been walking for half a while, and we'll be there soon." β
"Forget it, let's keep walking, and when it gets dark, we'll be busy in vain." , the bamboo pole blushed, and the knife in his hand became Guan Gong.
The two of them lowered their heads, only the road in their eyes, and they didn't know how long they had walked, so they stopped to rest their feet, wiped their sweat, and when they looked up, under the clear blue sky, the top of the mountain was close at hand. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more they felt their feet heavier and heavier due to the psychological effects.
When they finally reached the top of the mountain with staggering steps, a cool mountain breeze rushed towards them, and they were immediately very comfortable. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and there really was a valley in the middle of this mountain.
