Chapter 101: Seizure
Grandpa Zhang Han is like a professional storyteller, telling Zhang Han and us about the events of the year, although none of us, including the old man, have personally experienced these things, but Zhang Han and I are still immersed in it, even Zhang Han, who has always loved to make fun of the old man, did not speak.
The old man said that Lin Jueyuan was not valued in the family at that time, and he gambled all his net worth and life to persuade Zhu Di to rebel, once Zhu Di succeeded in his rebellion, his status would definitely change dramatically.
Maybe Lin Jueyuan should really be developed, or Zhu Di is really the chosen one, the rebellion is unbelievable, several battles with less to win more were said by Lin Jueyuan to be the help of the Yin soldiers, even Yao Guangxiao was convinced of the matter of the Yin soldiers helping each other, and finally even Zhu Di would ask Lin Jueyuan's opinion every time he wanted to make a major decision, if Lin Jueyuan did not agree with Zhu Di, he really didn't dare to do it rashly.
During the period when Zhu Di sent troops from the capital to Nanjing, Lin Jueyuan returned to the Lin family, and he reported his support for Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to the patriarch at that time, but he did not tell the lies he made up to Zhu Di.
At that time, the patriarch thought that he was a person who had seen the wind and waves, but he was a little unsure about this matter, he asked the family elders for their opinions, and the final result was that they generally supported Emperor Jianwen and generally supported King Yan, and the two sides were in dispute, which directly led to the division of the Lin family into two branches at that time, and the branch that supported Emperor Jianwen at that time was the Mu family that was very popular in Southeast Asia.
Zhang Han heard the old man say this, and suddenly realized oh, saying that he didn't expect that the Mu family in Southeast Asia turned out to be a branch of the Lin family, the old man nodded and said that the Mu family has been showing favor to the Lin family recently, hoping to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but the Lin family did not respond to this matter.
The later things are what we know, Zhu Di successfully ascended the throne, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen did not see anyone dead or dead, this is a very painful thing for Zhu Di, it can be said that it is difficult to sleep and eat, Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West, and sent Hu Hu to visit temples across the country in order to find the missing Zhu Yunwen.
Lin Jueyuan, who participated in Zhu Di's rebellion, formed the Dragon Guard with the support of Zhu Di, and the main purpose was four, first: to find the dragon vein, second: to maintain the dragon vein, third: to find Zhu Yunwen, and fourth: to surpass the undead in the world.
The old man said to me after taking a sip of tea
"In fact, Cui Fujun knows more about this matter than I do, he saw it with his own eyes and participated in it"
I was shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly asked the old man what was going on, and the old man smiled and said that Cui Xiaobai opened a wine shop in Nanjing back then, which can be said to be the predecessor of the bar that is now operating in our city.
I don't know why Cui Xiaobai is interested in places like bars and pubs, it has been a routine since ancient times, and it seems that I really have to ask him this question in person if I have time.
At that time, Lin Jueyuan put all his net worth on Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he won, and it was a million profits, and Lin Jueyuan naturally became the patriarch of the Lin family, and the old man also said before that the Lin family that supported Emperor Jianwen went overseas because of Zhu Di's accession to the throne.
At that time, Lin Jueyuan was also given an iron coupon by Zhu Di to avoid death, in short, the Lin family rose with Lin Jueyuan, and in the middle and late Yongle period, the Lin family was no longer subordinate to the Western Sect Spirit Attractor, and on the surface, the Dragon Guard was under the jurisdiction of Jinyi Wei, but in fact, the Dragon Guard belonged to Zhu Di's direct leadership.
After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, the Lin family also moved into the capital with many officials, Lin Jueyuan personally selected a secluded place in the suburbs as the ancestral home of the Lin family.
In fact, a large part of the reason why Zhu Di set up the Dragon Guard was to hope that the Dragon Guard could find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen through some unconventional means, Zhu Yunwen did not know whether he found the old man, but in the process of looking for Zhu Yunwen, the Dragon Guard found a Western Zhou ancient tomb somewhere in Shaanxi, in the words of the old man, this ancient tomb is strange from the inside out.
When I was in school, I didn't learn history very well, I could only recite the incomplete historical representatives of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the history before the Tang Dynasty was too long for me, and I knew very little about the Western Zhou Dynasty.
After listening to the description of the clansmen, Lin Jueyuan felt that this tomb was very strange, and even at that time, Lin Jueyuan thought that there seemed to be a great opportunity hidden in this ancient tomb, so Lin Jueyuan decided to personally lead me to see this Western Zhou tomb.
At that time, Lin Jueyuan was close to the age of the sixtieth year, both physical strength and mental head began to decline, from the capital to Shaanxi Lin Jueyuan fell ill, and even most people thought that Lin Jueyuan would die on the way, but when he arrived at the Western Zhou tomb in Shaanxi, Lin Jueyuan was miraculously cured, and his body seemed to be tougher than when he was in the capital.
The old man asked me after taking a sip of tea when he said this
"Do you know why Lin Jueyuan recovered inexplicably at that time?"
I said if it had anything to do with this tomb, the old man shook his head, and Zhang Han said to the old man thoughtfully
"Could it be that Lin Jueyuan is pretending to be sick?"
After listening to Zhang Han, the old man nodded with a smile and said that Lin Jueyuan was pretending to be sick at that time, to put it bluntly, he was thinking about this matter when he set off from the capital, and the reason why he did this was to add the halo of the protagonist to himself, because the ancients were not far inferior to modern people in terms of values or worldview, and they loved to spread this supernatural event, even if it was fake, it would come true. In fact, in addition to adding a character to himself, Lin Jueyuan also has a very important point, that is, he wants to monopolize the treasures in the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
After Lin Jueyuan miraculously recovered in front of everyone, he told everyone that he had been instructed by the immortals, saying that this Western Zhou tomb was the burial place of his previous life, and this time he came to retrieve the items he had in his previous life, which was the will of heaven.
Lin Jueyuan was worried that the matter of the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty would reach Zhu Di's ears, once he found any treasures in the tomb, Zhu Di would not be able to deal with it when he asked, and he might even fall into the crime of bullying the king, so he directed and acted in such a show that the will of heaven could not be violated, even Zhu Di would not go against the will of heaven to blame himself.
The old man said that God favored the Lin family very much, if it wasn't for the Western Zhou tomb found back then, the Lin family would definitely not continue to this day, maybe it would have declined at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The old man did not directly evaluate Lin Jueyuan's ability, but said that Lin Jueyuan was good at grasping people's hearts, and in current terms, his emotional intelligence was very high, which was also the reason why Lin Jueyuan had a very good relationship with Yao Guangxiao back then.
The old man called the waiter to change a new pot of tea, after the waiter changed the tea, the old man asked me if I wanted to smoke, I nodded embarrassedly and said a little wanted, the old man said that he didn't mind letting me not see outside, after listening to the old man finished speaking, I immediately took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit one, to be honest, listening to the old man tell such a wonderful story, not smoking is really a little uncomfortable, after a few puffs of smoke, I suddenly feel a lot more comfortable, and my brain is not so muddy.
After the old man poured tea for the three of us, he continued to tell the follow-up story, when Lin Jueyuan miraculously recovered, he personally selected a few trustworthy family children to go down to the Western Zhou tomb, and after entering the Western Zhou tomb, he found that the structure inside the tomb was even more strange than the outside.
The old man was afraid that I wouldn't understand, and took the initiative to explain to me that from ancient times to the present, no matter the yin house and the yang house, from the location to the orientation, to some detailed things, there is a set of its own rules, if you don't arrange it according to this rule, everything will not go well, and it will affect future generations.
But the dragon guard found this tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty is illogical in any way, there is nothing in the tomb except a huge copper coffin, Lin Jueyuan approached the copper coffin and found that the pattern carved on the surface of the copper coffin is several narrative paintings, everyone observed for a long time and found that the content of the narrative painting carved on the copper coffin is Lin Jueyuan's life, although the space carved on the copper coffin is limited, but the first few paintings accurately describe some major events that Lin Jueyuan experienced in the first half of his life.
When the old man said this, Zhang Han immediately asked his grandfather
"According to what you just said, Lin Jueyuan was able to pretend to be sick when he went to the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so was this bronze coffin also put in by Lin Jueyuan in advance?"
The old man looked at Zhang Han and smiled and asked him to continue listening to him, as for whether the bronze coffin was put in by Lin Jueyuan in advance, it didn't matter, the important thing was what happened later.
After looking at the carved painting on the bronze coffin with a solemn face, everyone asked Lin Jueyuan what to do if he took it, Lin Jueyuan couldn't make up his mind when he looked at this bronze coffin, because what was happening in front of him was too unbelievable, although he was well-informed, he had no idea at this time, that is, at this time, one of Lin Jueyuan's direct nephews suggested opening the copper coffin directly, and most of the people present were against this suggestion, because this ancient tomb was full of weirdness, and no one knew what the consequences would be if he acted rashly.
Everyone couldn't argue, Lin Jueyuan felt upset, so he asked everyone to leave the tomb, leaving him alone in the tomb to think about what was next.
At that time, Lin Jueyuan had an absolute position in the family, and no one dared to refute what he said, plus Lin Jueyuan directed and acted this scene on the road from the capital to Shaanxi, and everyone withdrew from the main burial chamber of the tomb, leaving Lin Jueyuan alone in front of the bronze coffin.
After everyone withdrew, Lin Jueyuan stared at the painting on the bronze coffin and thought for a long time, the first few paintings are very easy to understand, the content of the painting is to help Yan King Zhu Di ascend the throne, the formation of dragon guards and other major events, but the latter paintings are beyond their comprehension, from the picture it seems to be related to the achievement of immortals.
Lin Jueyuan touched the copper coffin with his hand, and as soon as Lin Jueyuan's hand touched the copper coffin, he felt like he was electrocuted, and he fainted after a while.
The old man's narration, including Lin Jueyuan's expression when he fainted, imitated vividly, Zhang Han asked the old man with a smile why he knew so clearly about this matter, and the old man said to us after taking a sip of tea
"I had a dream when I was young, and it was just a more interesting story at the time, and later I learned that everything in the dream was Lin Jueyuan's life."
Zhang Han opened his mouth in shock after hearing this, I didn't think there was anything surprising about this matter, after all, I also experienced the old man's experience in my dreams, just like I saw Gu Ran in a dream.
The old man said that he didn't know what happened after Lin Jueyuan fainted, because in the dream he didn't see what happened after Lin Jueyuan fainted, just like a movie screen flashed and skipped by, and then the picture was that the lid of the copper coffin had been opened, and Lin Jueyuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
When the old man said this, I instantly remembered that my mother told me in the morning about the ancestor who had ascended to immortal body in the flesh, and I asked the old man if Lin Jueyuan had ascended to immortal body at that time, and the old man said that it could be understood so popularly, but theoretically speaking, Lin Jueyuan at that time was no longer Lin Jueyuan, Zhang Han exclaimed after hearing it
"Could it be that Lin Jueyuan was taken away back then?"
The old man nodded very affirmatively and said that Lin Jueyuan was indeed taken away back then, I asked the old man what it was to take Lin Jueyuan, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head and said that he didn't understand what it was until now that Lin Jueyuan's body was taken away, I remembered that my uncle said to me before he was young that he was taken away when he was young, I suddenly felt that these two things might have something to do with each other, I briefly told the old man about the whole thing, the old man frowned and thought for a long time and said to me that maybe it would be related, But the relationship is not something that we mortals can understand.
The old man said that he had always wanted to find out what Lin Jueyuan was taken away by since he was young, but until now he didn't have any eyebrows, and he once asked Cui Xiaobai about it, Cui Xiaobai didn't answer him this question directly, but just told him that he didn't have to worry too much about these things, and if he was too entangled, he would enter the magic barrier.
Zhang Han asked the old man if this matter was over, and the old man shook his head and said that it was not over, if his dream was compared to a TV series, it was only halfway through the performance.
I lit a cigarette and pondered the whole thing carefully, I vaguely felt that there was a big problem with the painting carved on the bronze coffin, because in my opinion, there would not be such a coincidence, if the possibility that the bronze coffin could be placed in the tomb by Lin Jueyuan, then only the possibility that the painting on the bronze coffin that everyone saw was an illusion for everyone.
If this is the case, everything can be explained clearly, all the doubts have been solved, to put it bluntly, everyone including Lin Jueyuan was hallucinated, and Lin Jueyuan was unconsciously taken away in the hallucination.
I told the old man what I thought, and the old man frowned, played with the teacup in his hand, and fell into thought, and nodded after a long time
"The copper coffin is indeed weird and abnormal, and your analysis is also very reasonable, if you deduce according to your analysis, this copper coffin may be a personal temptation trap, waiting for someone with some ability to check it out and take away the body."
