It is said that in 1368 AD, that is, the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the only real civilian emperor in Chinese history, was proclaimed emperor in Yingtianfu, and the country name was Daming.

But. At that time, due to years of war and natural disasters, the vast areas of the north at that time were devastated and depressed, especially in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei.

However, the location of today's Fangshan Village, due to its special geographical location and various coincidences, miraculously survived and prospered in the cracks of the war at that time.

The reason is that it has been an important transportation hub for north-south transportation since ancient times, and has always been a trade distribution place where merchants from all over the world gathered, gathering considerable wealth and people.

In addition, its own situation pattern that is easy to defend and difficult to attack has naturally become a buffer zone for all forces, that is, a so-called "trade security zone" for all forces today, providing a steady stream of various needs for all forces.

After the official founding of the Ming Dynasty, it naturally became more prosperous, and the local resident population once surged to four or five thousand people, truly becoming an important commercial and trade distribution town within a radius of hundreds of miles.

As the wealth of the period grew, not only the officials of the new government rushed to enter, but also the religious forces of various factions.

At that time, the first person to stand in this place was the Yuquan Temple under the cliff on the south side of Panshi Mountain, and the owner of this Yuquan Temple was named Ma Xiao, who called himself a Panshi Taoist.

Although he himself did not have a big name, his master was Xi Yingzhen, a famous Taoist master of the Yuan and Ming dynasties at that time, and he had great prestige at that time.

With the prestige of his master and his own powerful means, Ma Xiao quickly took root in the local area and recruited disciples, and after a few years of hard work, he became a veritable local sect master.

With the rapid expansion of his power and wealth, he gradually lost the original nature and ethics of a cultivator, and gradually transformed into an invisible place of power. Not only did they occupy a large amount of land by means of a nominal circle, but they also colluded with the government to secretly monopolize many local profiteering businesses.

After a few years, I don't know where a fierce monk came, with a group of bald heads in the east of the mountainside of Panlong Mountain, overnight grass built a simple temple, called himself Anxing Temple, this great monk presided over himself.

This great monk's real name is Zhou Long, who was not originally a monk, but a criminal thief in the Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, who has been taking advantage of the war to commit crimes everywhere for many years.

It's just that because the Ming Dynasty suddenly dominated the world and the four seas were peaceful, he suddenly felt that the general trend was gone and he could not continue his blatant bandit career, so he used clever tricks to convert to Buddhism.

Clearly with the Amitabha Buddha Green Lantern Ancient Scroll, in fact, he secretly continued his underworld business, but he just put on a layer of monk's clothes that concealed people's eyes.

Because their group had already accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the early years, and because they were all ruthless in martial arts, they soon gained a foothold in the local area.

Of course, due to their respective interests, they had a great contradiction with the earlier Yuquanguan in private, and from time to time they secretly met each other to the death.

Just when the two sides were in full swing and fighting to the death in secret, I don't know where a nun named Li Shuyun came from.

As soon as she arrived here, she was deeply attracted by the prosperity of the local area, and she was alone at the foot of Xiangyun Mountain in the west to practice and make a wide range of Buddhist connections.

In fact, to put it bluntly, originally this Li Shuyun was not a real Buddhist cultivator, but just a noble lady who was defeated by the previous dynasty when she was helpless.

It's just that, on the one hand, she does have some experience and is quite insightful; Second, he has also taken real refuge in Buddhism and understands Buddhism; three, she is dignified and beautiful, and she is generous; Fourth, she is very good at demagoguery.

So she quickly established herself in this place with the strength of one person.

Not only that, but she also raised donations to build a Tzu Yun Nunnery in just a few years, and the incense was extremely vigorous.

With the successive rise of Zhoulong Anxing Temple and Li Shuyun's Ciyun Nunnery, Ma Xiao of the Yuquan Temple finally couldn't sit still. After all, there is a way that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention that it has now become a situation where three are standing together.

After all, no matter how rich this place is, it can't support so many "mountains". So this Ma Xiao took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the other two opponents, trying to squeeze the two out in one fell swoop.

This Li Shuyun's Tzuyun Nunnery is easy to say, after all, they are just a group of soft and weak nuns, and they have been swaying between the other two powerhouses as much as they can.

But that Zhou Long's Anxing Temple, but everywhere with Ma Xiao's Yuquanguan-for-tat without concessions, not only clearly fighting, but also secretly often used swords and guns to meet each other, for a time both sides were damaged and injured.

Of course, every time they fight, no matter who loses or suffers, they will definitely be angry with that Ciyun Nunnery, and they will inevitably go there to vent the evil anger in their hearts. Ciyun Nunnery, whose power is weak, can only swallow its anger and barely cope with it in this situation.

After several bloody battles, finally under the strong mediation of the local government and the gentry, everyone shook hands and jointly recognized the current situation of coexistence of the three families.

In addition, after several vicious fights, Ma Xiao and Zhou Long actually made each other cherish each other's admiration and became brothers in life and death.

The two agreed to deceive and fool the local people together, and robbed and oppressed those foreign merchants together, sharing blessings and hardships. Not only that, but they also forced Li Shuyun to secretly provide them with young and beautiful nuns to let them have lewd pleasures, turning the originally clean Ciyun Nunnery into a dirty place with a miasma.

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, a young and beautiful nun came to Ciyun Nunnery, whose common name was Shi Miaozhen.

This Shi Miaozhen not only looks like a flower, but also naturally exudes a thousand charming charms and charms, and is the best stunner of a beautiful fetus. In addition, she is also proficient in music and rhythm, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Since this Shi Miaozhen arrived at Ciyun Nunnery, in just six years, she replaced Li Shuyun from an ordinary female nun and became the host of this Ciyun Nunnery.

Not to mention, as a family, she not only managed Ciyun Nunnery in an orderly manner, but also became stronger and stronger. And with her own hue and superb means, she became the chief leader of the three families step by step, and even Ma Xiao and Zhou Long were willing to bow under her pomegranate skirt and be at her mercy.

Since then, Ciyun Nunnery, which had been enduring humiliation and subordination earlier, has turned into a lewd dojo with raised eyebrows and high in one fell swoop.

Later, in order to reserve a back hand, Shi Miaozhen presided over the secret cultivation of the three secret secret paths, and when the cultivation reached the location of today's wasteland mound, the three secret passages converged here.

First, avoid the war and preserve strength; second, the savings of the three families for many years are hidden; Thirdly, she deliberately built this "Palace of Bliss" for lewd pleasure at the intersection of these three secret passages.

Of course, the scale and pattern of this place at the beginning were not what they are today, but just a place of comfort deep underground, completely lacking the current information organs and advanced layout.

Later, this Shi Miaozhen became even more intense, not only did she bring the female nuns and those Taoist monks to the lewd pleasure all day long.

From time to time, she herself either seduced or forcibly abducted some sturdy men from the outside for her enjoyment, and only after she had enough of playing and squeezing them dry, she sold them into slavery in other places. Among them, those who resisted and disobeyed were buried by their assassins.

At the same time, she also wantonly abducted a large number of young girls from other places, and then secretly imprisoned them and trained them strictly, so that they could serve the powerful figures of Yuquan Temple and Anxing Temple.

Moreover, they will be secretly given to local government officials and local gentry to become their private sex slaves, and they will be selected to stay in the Palace of Bliss to entertain some important guests.

For a time, this originally prosperous and prosperous local town turned into an extremely absurd and absurd place.

Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, after all, people are watching the sky, and sooner or later it will be returned!

In the Jianwen period, Tie Xuan, a generation of famous ministers who was then the political envoy of Shandong, was furious after hearing such indecent rumors, and immediately ordered the local government to strictly investigate and deal with it.

However, at that time, the three families led by Ciyun Nunnery had too much potential power in the local area, and they were already deeply entrenched. In addition, most of the local officials themselves are not clean, so they naturally dare not really make great efforts to investigate and deal with them.

In the end, they symbolically caught some unlucky scapegoats, and they were gone. At that time, it was also the time of the Battle of Jingjing, although Tie Xuan had the heart to investigate thoroughly, but he also had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, so he could only let it be like this.

After Tie Xuan's soldiers were defeated and captured and executed, the case was never re-raised, and since then these people have become even more unscrupulous and lawless. Even more and more local officials and gentry and celebrities have participated in it, wantonly lustful pleasure.

It wasn't until the fourth year of Yongle that Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister of a generation of strange people, was ordered to reorganize Tie Xuan's old case, when he accidentally saw an official document that Tie Xuan had not had time to issue before his death, and then he knew that there was such a ridiculous thing here. After he personally made a private interview and seriously inquired and confirmed, he was immediately furious.

After he returned to Beijing and reported the truth, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di immediately issued a strict decree, ordering Yao Guangxiao to deal with the matter in person, and clearly instructed to torture the people led by him - "Peel the corpse alive and take it in a rough way to set an example!" ”

On the third day, Yao Guangxiao personally led the Jinyi Guard to rush here and conducted a thorough investigation of the entire place with lightning speed. Within a few days, the three Jedi of Ciyun Nunnery, Yuquan Temple, and Anxing Temple were dug upside down.

Not only did they capture 387 monks and nuns led by Shi Miaozhen, Ma Xiao and Zhou Long on the spot, but they also captured three local officials and two local gentry who were having sex together. At the same time, a large number of men and women imprisoned by them were rescued, totaling more than 100 people.

After interrogating all this clearly, Yao Guangxiao immediately ordered: First, the three people headed by Shi Miaozhen, Ma Xiao and Zhou Long, were to be shredded alive in public, and let a special craftsman sew the human skin of the three people completely while it was hot, treat it with medicine, and then fill it with special forage to make a dried human skin corpse specimen, and finally soak it in a special medicinal wine to wait for another use.

Second, he then killed all the remaining monks and nuns, as well as the three local officials and two local gentry, and threw all their severed heads into the wilderness for wild dogs and goshawks to eat.

Third, 119 officials and gentry implicated in the local and nearby localities were all sentenced to death as an example.

Fourth, all the local villagers were sent to the bitter cold land of the border pass as slaves, and they were never allowed to leave without authorization.

Of course, even Ma Xiao, who was a disciple of Xi Yingzhen and Yao Guangxiao, was also skinned and shredded, and was not spared.

After Yao Guangxiao dealt with all this according to the order, he reported to the emperor to ask for an order to build a three-view building in the location of this "Bliss Palace" to warn future generations. After obtaining the emperor's consent, Yao Guangxiao ordered the complete demolition of the original Yuquan Temple, Anxing Temple, and Ciyun Nunnery, and then personally supervised the construction of a three-story three-story Sanguan Building.

And used the ancient seal to write three lines of warning words on a dark iron plate, and ordered the craftsman to engrave the general process of all this on another stone tablet.

After the completion of the Sanguan Building, the specimens of the three most evil human skins and dried corpses had just been brewed, and Yao Guangxiao ordered them to be hung upstairs, and forced a large number of foreign officials and ordinary people to take turns to observe here.

In the end, after three months of continuous exhibition, Yao Guangxiao ordered the three human skin specimens to be put away and secretly stored in the underground palace below the Sanguan Tower, so that they could be stored forever for future generations to warn future generations.

However, since Yao Guangxiao completed the construction of this Sanguan Building, it has not been officially repaired until the Chongzhen period at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The first reason is that this kind of punishment of stripping the corpse alive is too cruel, and it has rarely been mentioned since the Yongle period, let alone used with great fanfare.

The second reason is that the things involved in this Sanguan Building were indeed too absurd in that era, and no one was willing to mention it again.

Therefore, after more than 200 years of wind and rain, this Sanguan Building has already collapsed and damaged most of it, and the unspeakable old story it has slowly been forgotten, not to mention the three human skin specimens that are treasured in it, and no one cares about it.

Even during the Xuande period during this period, the emperor had specially decreed the abolition of this torture of 'skinning and removing corpses', and deliberately hinted to the historians at the time to delete the records that were really offensive to morals.

In the Ming Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty was already sunset, and the Xishan Mansion was about to fall, not only the Ming regime had been corrupted to the bones, but also natural disasters were one after another, ravaging the land of China in turn. At the same time, the iron cavalry of the Jurchen tribe in the north took the opportunity to invade and plunder in the south from time to time.

At this time, in order to protect the safety of the local party, the virtuous squire near Fangshan Village spontaneously raised funds to rebuild a solid walled building on the basis of the original Sanguan Building.

This walled tower is 13 meters high, with a total of five floors, not only with high stacks and thick walls, but also with a bell tower set up at the top with a special person on duty all day.

As soon as the personnel on duty above found that some bandits were approaching from afar, they immediately rang the giant bell and urgently summoned the sturdy men from the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and quickly entered the walled building to defend and fight.

Not only that, but they also specially cleared out the three hidden passages excavated by Shi Miaozhen at the beginning, as an emergency safety passage in times of special crisis, and built a number of arch guard positions on the periphery with the walled building as the center.

In this way, the local villagers will be able to come and go more freely, mobile and flexible to resist those foreign invasions, and when it is really impossible, they can also go underground or withdraw to the mountains in time, avoid huge casualties, preserve their strength as much as possible, and wait until the enemy retreats and then return again.

It's just that on this stone plaque, I don't know why there is no mention of the existence of the three human skin specimens, I don't know if it was deliberately obscure by the original engraver, or the people at that time had never really seen the three treasured human skin specimens.

In addition, not only is the name of all the fundraisers and their respective donations clearly recorded on this stone plaque. It also roughly describes the major defensive functions played by this three-view tower after its reconstruction, as well as its special landmark function at that time.

One of the most famous battles, that is, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the local villagers relied on this Sanguan Tower to resist the strong attack of more than 3,000 rogues. In that battle, more than 3,000 bandits took turns to attack, and the local villagers stubbornly resisted for three days and three nights.

In the end, the enemy finally left more than 800 corpses and fled in a hurry, while the local villagers only suffered more than 3,500 casualties, and almost completely relied on their own strength to resist those vicious armed horse bandits.

In this battle, the rebuilt Sanguanlou became famous, and the nearby villagers and fugitive outsiders flocked here again to seek the shelter of Sanguanlou. Soon, a large number of people gathered, and for a time merchants gathered, and gradually regained its former prosperity, and quickly became a populous town again.

Not only that, because there were very few obvious buildings in the local area at that time, and this 13-meter-high Sanguanlou naturally became a local landmark and a belonging building in the hearts of the local people. Since then, there has been the name of the three view towers in the west of the city.

After the rebuilding of the Sanguan Building during the Ming Chongzhen period, it did play a powerful defensive function in the era of cold weapons at that time, and to a certain extent, it protected the people and merchants in this area, and played a great role in the development of the local area.

Therefore, later, the local squires of the wang clan spontaneously repaired it regularly and never gave up its function as a walled building.

Especially in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, Shandong also broke out many times of rebel activities one after another, and even the local government paid more attention to the actual defensive effect of this kind of walled tower, and sent people to be responsible for reinforcing and improving similar walled towers in various places.

The ground part of this three-view tower, more than 60 meters from east to west, more than 40 meters from north to south, is even stronger than the ordinary city tower, plus its three underground tunnels can communicate with the three hills outside, which also enhances its own defense depth.

In addition, this area has always been a prosperous place where merchants gathered, and naturally the weapons they possessed at that time were relatively sophisticated, which was of course to better protect their own vital interests.

Eventually, the local government tried to send troops into the area, making it an important defensive fortress. However, they were rejected by the local gentry with all kinds of tricks, because they knew that these officers and soldiers were coming, and they were probably no better than those rebels and rogues.

The rebels and rogues of the people are just plundering and retreating, and they generally will not be entrenched and harassed for a long time, even if they have a few occasional bloody battles, in exchange for peace and quiet most of the time.

But these officers and soldiers are different, they will not only suck blood, but they may also chew up all the bones and swallow them, and then they will not think about any more peaceful days.

In the end, a compromise method was adopted, and the local gentry themselves recruited and supported a certain number of villagers, who were stationed on the walled tower all year round, mainly to protect the safety of this side. Of course, when the government needs it, it must also assist the officials and troops to send troops as required to attack and defend against those large groups of rogues.

Later, the Twist Army was active in the Sulu-Anhui region, and often harassed this area. With the sophisticated firearms in his hands and the sturdy Sanguanlou, the Xiang Yong stationed in Sanguanlou did indeed repel more than ten of their small attacks and harassment, and caused heavy casualties to the Twist Army.

Not only that, in this night battle, the village Yong of Sanguanlou also inadvertently killed a prince of the Twist Army, which is considered to be a mortal enmity with the Twist Army.

Finally, in the fourth year of Tongzhi, the angry Twist Army attacked Sanguanlou under the personal leadership of Zhang Zongyu, a famous general of the Twist Army at that time. Zhang Zongyu, who had just been entrusted with the important task, commanded more than 10,000 elite horse infantry troops and launched a devastating attack on the positions around Sanguanlou and the surrounding areas.

In less than a day and a night, under Zhang Zongyu's repeated strong attack, Sanguanlou was finally blown up by the firearms of the Twist Army and captured the entire position.

After the hateful Twist Army broke the building, they first killed all the villagers in the building and robbed all the stored property inside, and then immediately carried out a complete explosion and demolition of this ancient building, making this ancient building forever a passing history.

Not only that, but they also frantically hunted and killed innocent people nearby who had no time to escape, and even the three secret exits on the periphery were completely blown up by them with explosives.

Just when they were still thinking about following the three dark passages and continuing to try to find the mysterious dungeon. The last pillar stone monk of the Qing Dynasty, Monk Greenqin, personally led the elite Mongolian cavalry to roar. Zhang Zongyu immediately ordered all the twisted troops to retreat, and led the monk king to the direction of Caozhou, Shandong, where heavy troops had already been set up, as planned.

First in the battle of Gaozhailou in Heze, he annihilated 7,000 Mongolian elite horsemen and defeated the monk king, and then killed the invincible generation of famous general Monk Gelinqin in Wujiadian in one fell swoop.

Regardless of the merits of the year, the appearance of this monk king at that time allowed the underground palace of the three views to escape a catastrophe, and it was completely preserved in the deep underground......
