Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dragon's Array
"I've already said it, it's one thing." Qin Ge saw that Zhang Guozhong was loose, and he talked more than before. "First of all, it can be a bit dangerous..."
Although Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou have some understanding of the chaotic era of the "Five Dynasties", they really didn't expect this Qin Ge to have such a thorough understanding of the era of the "Later Jin Dynasty", which did not rely on the general public, and this piece of Qin and Han Dynasty Seal carved by the legendary He Bi that was lost in the Later Tang Dynasty when the country was destroyed was inexplicably able to be linked to the Later Jin Dynasty.
According to Qin Ge, in the records of the official history, after Qin destroyed Zhao, he fell into the hands of the first emperor Yingzheng, and Ying Zheng carved it as the "Seal of the Son of Heaven", after Liu Bang led the army to break through Xianyang at the end of Qin, the last emperor of Qin dedicated this jade seal to Liu Bang, and this jade seal became the "national seal" of the Han Dynasty. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the jade seal was obtained by the former Zhao Emperor Liu Cong. But this Liu Cong didn't work hard for a few years, the former Zhao was destroyed by the Later Zhao, and the Later Zhao Emperor Shile got the jade seal; Later, Shi Le's son Shi Jian succeeded to the throne, was killed by the rebel general Ran Min, and the jade seal fell into the hands of this Ran Min. Soon Hou Jing was defeated, and committed suicide by jumping into a well with the national seal in Qixia Temple (located on Qixia Mountain, 22 kilometers northeast of Nanjing City), and later several monks fished out the jade seal and dedicated it to Emperor Wu Chen.
After the unification of China by the Sui Dynasty, this "national seal" has been regarded as a national treasure by the royal family of the Sui and Tang dynasties, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, this jade seal fell into the hands of the founding emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunqiao, the founding emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, led his troops to attack Luoyang, and the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke * carried the jade seal * martyrdom.
Since then, there has been no record of the seal of the country in the official history, but in the wild history, there was a Xianyang man named Duan Yi in the Song Dynasty who risked his life to present a piece of treasure to the imperial court, which was identified by pseudo-experts led by Cai Jing and confirmed that it was the seal of the Qin system (there is also a legend that Cai Jing just wanted to make the emperor happy), when the Song Dynasty fell, Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with the little emperor on his back, and according to legend, he also jumped into the sea with the seal of the country, but the history of the seal of the country was not mentioned in the official history.
From the Ming Dynasty unified China, after quelling the war in all directions, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties were using the power of the imperial court to find the seal of the country in the people, according to legend, when the emperor Taiji attacked Mongolia, he had snatched back a piece of jade seal from the Chahar Department of Lin Dan Khan, which was said to be the seal of the country, until Pu Yi was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, and this jade seal disappeared again.
Originally, He's Bi is also the Qin Chuan Guoxi, as China's biggest mystery through the ages, even the Ming Dynasty has not been able to find out with the power of the country, and the Qing Dynasty can only grab a true or false thing as a psychological comfort, if ordinary people want to explore the truth, even if the family opens a bank, it is guaranteed that all the numbers are lost, Zhang Guozhong admires the knowledge of this Qin Ge Tiannan Haibei, but he is very disdainful of his ambition to find the national seal, even if you Qin Ge has two money and a little antiquity, it is okay to get a calligraphy and painting, If you want to find the seal of the country, it may still be a little worse...
"Zhang Zhangjiao, you don't seem to believe me." In Qin Ge's eyes, Zhang Guozhong has always been a raw melon egg, and Qin Ge basically knows what he is thinking without looking at his words and deeds.
"I have studied this history all my life, and the possibility of the jade seals of the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty has been ruled out by me." Qin Ge said coldly, "In the official history, the Chuan Guoxi and Li Congke were burned together, and Li Congke may turn to ashes, but the Chuan Guoxi will not. ”
"Then you mean that the heirloom seal may be in Shi Jingjiao's hands?"
"Not a possibility, but an inevitability. In the United States, a friend once asked my grandfather to see the remnants of an ancient book of the Ming Dynasty, according to the above records, Shi Jingjiao once secretly hid half of the treasures of the palace in the current Daba Mountains, but the specific location was not said, but according to the book, the seal of the country was also in this batch of treasures, which is why my grandfather was determined to find the treasure. The person who presided over the construction of the treasure cave was called Zhao Sange, a Taoist priest, and this person disappeared after the treasure cave was repaired. The person who wrote this book was Shi Jingjiao's descendant, and this matter was a top secret of the Later Jin court, and at that time, the only people who were still alive after knowing this secret were Shi Jingjiao himself and his son Shi Chonggui. After the country was broken, Shi Chonggui once wanted to take out this batch of treasures for the purpose of restoring the country, but unfortunately he couldn't find Zhao Sange, and even Shi Chonggui himself couldn't take out the treasures. ”
"Since it's a mountain range, it has to be thousands of miles to say the least, how can you be sure where the place marked on the map is?"
"My grandfather and my father have been looking for two generations, and there will be no mistake, my grandfather has lived in Daba Mountain for 20 years. In short, trust me. ”
"Such a valuable baby, why are you looking for us? Even if you don't think you have too many things to move by yourself, you have to find two strong ones..."This old Liu Tou didn't like Qin Ge at first, and never forgot to be sarcastic and sarcastic.
"There is a Chinese proverb that says if you don't have diamonds, you can't do porcelain work." Qin Ge ignored Lao Liu's suspicions, "In fact, since my father, a lot of progress has been made. Two of you, please see" Qin Ge took out another piece of tulle at this moment, and Zhang Guozhong touched the texture with his hand, which should also be the product of top-level textile technology, which is also almost transparent. It's just a lot worse than the one in the porcelain bottle in Zhao Le's abdomen, I saw nine black spots in the tulle, Qin Ge covered the tulle on the ancient map of the Later Jin Dynasty, and then looked up at Zhang Guozhong.
Zhang Guozhong looked at this picture carefully, felt familiar, looked at the trend of the mountain carefully, and looked at the position of the nine points, his head snorted, and scolded in his heart, this old immortal of his mother, I said why didn't he swallow the treasure alone, it turned out that he wanted us to help him break the "Chisel Dragon Array".
Chisel dragon array, at first is the burial ground formation of the pavilion sect, which is mixed with the essence of the pavilion and Maoshan two religions, is a kind of formation to defend the tomb with the spirit of mountains and rivers (not the tomb bureau), some feng shui gentlemen in later generations have regarded the chisel dragon array as a tomb bureau, and it is confused with some tombs, in fact, it is a complete misunderstanding.
The so-called spirit of mountains and rivers is the general name of yang or yin in nature, according to scientific interpretation is the magnetic field of nature, on the ground, the geocentric magnetic field and the solar magnetic field reach a balance, when the human body adapts to this balance, if this balance is destroyed, the body will quickly develop a series of symptoms, and people who sleep underground all the year round, due to adapting to the environment of strong geomagnetic field and weak solar magnetic field, when the sunspot explosion or other astronomical phenomena cause the solar magnetic field to suddenly increase, the body will produce abnormalities.
Some prisoners who have lived in basements or ancient dungeons for a long time often have some phenomena similar to the "bumper" mentioned above, such as sudden convulsions of hands and feet, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness, which are affected by this effect. (This is the closest explanation to science, of course, there are many things in Maoshan that cannot be explained by science, and this explanation is by no means absolute, but only "closest to science".) )
Maoshan Shu believes that mountains and rivers are the same as creatures, there is also a distinction between yang and yin, the mountain is yang, the water is yin, and the Zhongge religion also has the same understanding, the so-called "near the mountain is yang, decay is not confused", (that is, relying on the mountain, yang is strong, no evil spirit can treat you well) so later generations of Chinese always think that living by the mountain does not need to fear any evil spirits and evil ghosts, and the word "backer" in Chinese comes from this.
In the view of Maoshan Shu, the spirit of mountains and rivers is the most powerful force between heaven and earth, not the power of people and animals, evil ghosts can compete, so to stimulate the spirit of mountains and rivers to solve the ways and means of animals or evil ghosts emerge in endlessly, according to legend, in the Ming Dynasty Wanli year, there is a people in Hebei who drowned, and then followed a person into Taihang for a few days, and then became peaceful.
In the Han Dynasty, the Su Tu, the Pavilion taught the study of the art of the base, especially the Pavilion, the art of Maoshan to control the ghost and the art of the Su Tu to repair the foundation of the perfect combination, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, has accumulated a considerable academic foundation, due to the Tang Dynasty Shixing of the mountain for the tomb of the wind, so a certain person of the Pavilion Sect invented this "Chisel Dragon Array", which is the method of using the spirit of mountains and rivers to protect the ancient tombs, but this "Chisel Dragon Array" is only a method, not a fixed formation, the real "Chisel Dragon Array" has "nine Taiwan" (respectively, "Jianlin Tai", "Dingluo Tai" , "Star Sucking Terrace", "Kun Death Terrace", "True Immortal Terrace", "Hezhan Terrace", "Empty Couch Terrace", "Empty Terrace" and "Suimen Terrace", these nine platforms are only nine Dharma Platforms, and have no key role, the key role points lie in nine kinds of utensils, the name is "Zhentai", but what this "Zhentai" is inconclusive, generally based on all kinds of jade and brakes, "Zhentai" is powerful, the power is great, "Zhentai" is general, the power is small, if the position of the "Nine Taiwans" is correctly cast according to the direction of the mountain range, Even if you put a stone on it, it will be effective, but the power is small) said, the location of the nine palaces changes according to the change of the mountain, according to the effect of the "town platform" is different, the "chisel dragon array" and the tomb of Maoshan is very different, as mentioned above, with the tomb, the role of the "chisel dragon array" is to prevent theft, will not have any impact on the deceased.
After the Tang Dynasty, the dignitaries and nobles no longer opened the mountain as a tomb, and the cloth method of "Chisel Dragon Array" was gradually lost.
Different from the Tomb Bureau, the "Chisel Dragon Array" does not have to be matched around the main tomb, not to mention the single tomb, find some living creatures, the power is limited by the years, this "Chisel Dragon Array" as long as the nine are not destroyed, the power will exist forever, but to deal with the tomb, such as the three evil bureaus, simply destroying each tomb will face the power of the entire tomb bureau, and as far as the "Chisel Dragon Array" is concerned, it is only powerful to the tomb he wants to protect. Each of the National Taiwan Universities in Zhongjiutai is very hidden and protected by organs.
This time the treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty, obviously the use of the "Chisel Dragon Array", according to the tomb to deal with the treasure, whether it is directly digging the treasure, or destroying the "Nine Taiwans" with organs, there is a great danger, each "Chisel Dragon Array" road is different, this Later Jin Dynasty national strength laid down the "Chisel Dragon Array", nine "Zhentai" must be the most mysterious and evil things found throughout the land of China with the ability of the country, if the "Chisel Dragon Array" is not broken and trespass on the "Array Eye", even if only one is not broken, it may be a matter of nine deaths.
"It's my father's life's work." Qin Leng said coldly, "He once wanted to invite your master out of the mountain, but your master refused. ”
"And then?" After seeing this "chiseled dragon array", Zhang Guozhong had just ignited a little fire of fortune and was half extinguished. Where his master is not sure to go, if he breaks in, then Li Erya is young, wouldn't he have to be a widow? "Mr. Qin, after talking about it for a long time, what the hell is this piece of jade for, what did you say?" Zhang Guozhong suddenly understood, just listening to this dead old man lecture on history, he almost forgot about the matter.
