Chapter 53: Seeking Mystery in the Mansion
I didn't have a good impression of Professor Sun, and sneered: "This old thief, I caught a form, see what face he will have in the future to say that I am an upside down ......" As he spoke, he flipped through the work record, and the more he looked at it, the more thrilling it became, and the graphics of the priceless treasure "King Qin's Bone Mirror" were impressively painted in it.
Professor Sun Xuewu left in the museum's work records, accurately sketched the pattern of "King Qin's bone mirror", although I have never seen the back of this ancient mirror, but the eyeless fish charm embedded in the bronze mirror has obvious characteristics, absolutely will not be mistaken, the ancient mirror pattern is also annotated around many words, may be Professor Sun's research and analysis records.
I thought that the "King Qin Bone Mirror" had been handed over to the state by Professor Chen, could it be that he secretly gave it to Professor Sun first? In addition, Professor Sun sneaked into the museum in the middle of the night, what was his intention?
My heart was full of questions, seeing that this work record was full of content, and it was difficult to see what to do for a while, so I closed the notebook and put it in my coat pocket, ready to go back and read it again.
At this time, the side of the display cabinet has been pried open, presumably Professor Sun did it, Ai Xiaohong saw this, immediately said that she wanted to notify the police, I persuaded her: "After all, it is just a fake, and it has not been lost or damaged, or don't trouble the leaders and public security departments for this little thing, their work burden is already very heavy, the people's police are for the people, and we people should also be heart-to-heart with the people's police, how can we always want to push the trouble to the police?" You should think more about your brother and them. β
Ai Xiaohong is also a girl with solid eyes, she nodded and said: "Brother Hu, you are worthy of being a person who has been trained in the melting pot of the army, and you think about others everywhere, I still don't cause trouble for my brother, then let's go and see the gold and silver five-color copper furnace." β
Ai Xiaohong took me and Shirley Yang to the copper furnace, this time there was no barrier, all the details on the furnace wall were in front of me, I asked Ai Xiaohong: "Sister Xiaohong, do you have an explanation for this thing in your museum?" β
Ai Xiaohong said that of course there is, it is quite a long paragraph, which was written by experts, and immediately explained it to us according to the commentary in the museum.
I shook my head when I heard half of it, the so-called "experts" carefully wrote the content of the explanation, and the real origin of the bottle mountain Dan furnace is too different, it is simply the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, but the Dan Palace in the Xiangxi Bottle Mountain, there are few records in the history books, in modern times, in addition to the "moving mountains and unloading mountains" who have gone into the tomb to steal the tomb, it is even more rare to know, rather than listening to the experts fabricate a few sentences of unobsessed clichΓ©s, it is better to interpret with my own vision and experience.
I held up the flashlight and fixed the beam to the delicate copper wall of the furnace so that Shirley Yang could see it more clearly, and Shirley Yang pointed to an undulating inscription on the copper wall and said: "During the Qin and Han dynasties, I believed in the elixir of magic and called the elixir of smelting immortality the technique of furnace fire, and these inscriptions may be medicinal recipes. β
There are a large number of coffins and rotting corpses excavated from all over the palace in the bottle, according to the view of the tomb robbers of Chen Blind and Partridge Whistle, this is a despicable act of "burning Yin Dan" with the dead, Shirley Yang can read ancient texts, she said that the incomplete inscription on the Dan furnace roughly records: "The human body takes the kidney as the guide, the foundation of gold, the root of life, there is a trick under the tongue, the eternal divine water, the left day Jinjin, the right day jade liquid, the lower irrigation dantian, the dantian is full, the bone marrow is full, the blood is full, the blood is full, the blood is full, the mud pill palace is uploaded, It is attributed to the kidneys, such as the cycle of the sun and the moon, and the gold water condenses into Xuanzhu after death. β
The first four sides of the eight pictures of immortals burning pills cast on the wall of the furnace are the methods of burning yin pills to extract Xuanzhu, such as "cutting the ancient corpse to take the kidney, boiling and decoction to produce gold water and jade liquid, mixing lead and mercury to refine the Dan head" and the like, which makes people almost disgusting.
I thought to myself, "I don't know who came up with this trick of burning the Yin Pill, if I can really refine the Golden Pill according to this, I'm afraid it will not be an immortal elixir, but a veritable deadly poison, whoever eats it will be unlucky."
Looking at the other four Dan diagrams, there is another shorter inscription, which is the opposite of the Yin Dan medicinal formula, which is the true Dan, that is, the Inner Dan we are looking for.
Since ancient times, refining the inner Dan is both for refining qi, the reason why the qi is nourishing, covering between the five internal organs and six organs, because of the seven emotions and dispersed, so it is issued on the five mountains and four desecrations, there are six changes of the qi, can clear the turbidity to the unsurpassed, clear and lonely, solid mountains and rivers, non-six qi can be obtained and take also, the gas of the green dragon, such as auspicious clouds lining the moon; The breath of the vermilion bird, like the morning glow reflecting the water; The air of Gou Chen is like a black wind blowing clouds; The breath of Xuanwu is like greasy smoke and fog......
I have seen the corpse of the huge old weasel in the hundred-eyed cave at the end of the Inner Mongolia grassland, and another red pill true pill, just like the bezoar, donkey treasure and other organisms in the body of stones, in feng shui, the so-called "life", insignificant, formless and substantial, and this kind of ancient corpse in the inner dan, it is because the creatures between heaven and earth feel the essence of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers condensed, "sixteen characters yin and yang feng shui secret art" in the word "hua" in a volume of detailed elaboration, in fact, the so-called "inner dan" can not make people live longer, Not to mention immortality, it's just that the vitality of heaven and earth turns into essence in the body of living beings, but if the Nanyang Head Descending Master wants to uproot the corpse for Duoling, he will definitely not be able to do without this thing.
In the past, there were many inner pills collected in the palace, and the most famous one contained in the official history was the "spider treasure" in the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, there is no record of where there is an ancient tomb gold pill on the gold and silver five-color Dan furnace, I still don't give up, and I went to look at the upper and lower ends of the furnace wall, and said to Shirley Yang while looking: "Professor Sun is an expert in studying ancient symbols and secret texts, why did he sneak into the museum to see this Dan furnace?" This old man also wants to take food and ask the gods? He shouldn't have such a low level of consciousness, the people have cultivated him for so many years......"
Shirley Yang suddenly pressed the flashlight shaking in my hand, shone the beam to the stove top, and said to me, "Professor Sun probably wants to see this part...... The predecessor of this copper furnace came from Guiruin. β
The high place of the top of the furnace is connected as a whole ornamentation, cast very finely, the characters and utensils are all side portraits, the demeanor is simple and vivid, some are like comic books, first the sea is a wave, a group of "dragon soldiers", carrying a mouthful of ancient tripods ashore, the shape of this tripod is exactly the same as the copper tripod cast by the dragon fire of the hating heaven clan.
Then there is a hundred birds contending, a figure like the son of heaven lies horizontally next to the tripod, it seems that the ancient tripod is made a funeral item after death, the tripod is decorated with four ancient talismans respectively, respectively, dragon, man, fish, ghost, are embedded in a disc of the tripod body, look at the disc is very similar to the appearance of "the king of Qin looks at the bone mirror".
Next, the mountain tomb was struck by the thunder, and many people lifted the giant tripod in the ancient tomb, and the tripod vessel has been torn apart so far, and it should have been cast into a furnace for refining medicine.
This layer of pattern should be a record of the origin of this Dan furnace, it seems that the Zhou Dynasty hated the antiquities of the Tian clan, was buried in the ancient tomb by a certain generation of Zhou Tianzi, and later due to natural disasters, the artifacts in the ancient tomb were exposed, and someone took away the copper tripod and recast it into the Dan furnace, so it seems that those ancient hexagrams are all handed down from the ruins.
I know that the haters are proficient in ancient hexagrams, and can shine candles to divinate everything, but there is one thing that has always been ignored by me, since the "King Qin Bone Mirror" is matched with those mysterious eyeless hexagrams, it should be a hexagram mirror, and about the origin of the "King Qin Bone Mirror", I am afraid it may not be as Professor Chen said, maybe we have been deceived from the beginning, what ancient mirror to suppress the corpse, the back of the mirror is immersed in the corpse gas can not shine on people, all have nothing to do with this South China Sea hexagram mirror, "Qin King Bone Mirror" may indeed have something, But it's certainly not the ancient mirror we salvaged from a shipwreck in the South China Sea, and the devil knows what secrets are buried in this mirror.
Shirley Yang's face was not very good, she naturally sensed that we had been deceived, but what could be revealed from her eyes was a question: "Professor Sun sneaked into the museum to see the five-color Dan furnace, is it related to his research on the so-called Qin King Bone Mirror?" He is so obsessed with this ancient mirror, what does he want to do? β
I said, "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, this old boy's work record has fallen into our hands, and when I go back to the guest house, I will take a closer look at it, and I won't worry about not being able to find out his details." β
We looked at the five-color Dan furnace from the inside out, and then asked Ai Xiaohong to take us to see the lacquer coffin painted with fairies, as well as the replicas of copper ghosts and bronze people, and felt that there was nothing missing, so we were satisfied.
Ai Xiaohong sent us to the door of the Natural History Museum, I shook hands with her, and said politely: "I am a comrade-in-arms with your brother Ai, you are similar to my own sister, and I don't see you much more politely, but I still want to thank you for taking us to visit these cultural relics tonight, and also see the treasure of this natural history museum...... A specimen of white bat essence that specializes in eating humans before his death. β
Ai Xiaohong said: "Brother Hu, don't be joking, when you have time to come to Hunan in the future, I will take you to visit the treasure of our Hunan town hall, which is a thousand-year-old wet corpse, a miracle of the world, much more interesting than a white bat specimen, have you seen a real thousand-year-old corpse?" Not an imitation. β
I smiled at Ai Xiaohong and said, "I've seen it once or twice before, but it's not in the museum early, so I didn't dare to take a closer look, and I'll have a good visit next time I go to you." After speaking, he waved goodbye to Ai Xiaohong.
When we went back, it was already the middle of the night, there was no car on the road at all, so we had to open the "eleventh" with Shirley Yang Kai, and when we walked to the guest house, the lungs and tubes were numb from the cold, so we quickly made a cup of tea with the hot water in the kettle, and didn't even bother to take off the coat, so we lit a cigarette and prepared to look through Professor Sun's work records.
I was about to open it to read, but Shirley Young suddenly held down the notebook and said, "I don't think it's a good idea to do this?" Maybe these are the brains of Professor Sun, and we shouldn't peek without his consent......"
I said: "There are many kinds of peeking, there is a peek that I saw by accident, he fell to the ground and I accidentally looked at it a few times, it stands to reason that it can't be regarded as a peek, and there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, if we don't understand the content, how can we return it to Professor Sun with just one name?" β
I persuaded Shirley Yang's mind to live, persuaded her to accompany me to check this "work record", at this time in the guest house, no one else disturbed, speaking of which my Lao Hu is also an amateur archaeological enthusiast, naturally I want to calm down and watch carefully page by page, I said to Shirley Yang: "Professor Sun once told me that the content of his work is all state secrets, and his mother's braggadocio is not taxed, let's see what state secrets this expert who studies the Dragon Bone Book has ......"
I can't suppress my curiosity, while talking while turning over the work record, this kind of notebook is the most common, there is a color insert every dozens of pages to decorate, the color map is mostly a variety of scenery in Beijing, including ** Square, the Great Hall of the People, the Summer Palace, etc., the paper is slightly yellow, and there are many bills in it, I am afraid it has been used for many years, the first page is printed with the red seal of the stationery issued by Professor Sun's unit, and the bottom is written with a pen "Be cautious and cautious" four words, and the bottom is the signature of "Sun Xuewu".
Turning to the second page, I only looked at the first line of words, Shirley Yang and I were stunned, and we were extremely surprised in our hearts, and asked each other in unison: "How does Professor Sun know about the Taibao of Daming Guanshan?" β
I remember that when Chen Blind told us about the tomb robbery, he once mentioned the "Guanshan Taibao", when he moved the mountain and unloaded the mountain to rob the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, he saw a strange corpse in the iron pavilion open house under the Danjing of Wuliang Palace, and in the corridor on the belly of the mountain, according to the relics on the corpse, it was speculated that it was the tomb robber "Guanshan Taibao" in the Ming Dynasty.
With the experience and knowledge of the blind man Chen and the partridge whistle who moved the mountain, he still "only heard his name, but did not know the fact" of the Guanshan Taibao, and only heard that the whereabouts of this generation were "mysterious and unruly, and the gods could not guess the matter of watching the mountain", at that time, the group of thieves in the Jieling were looking for the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, and only the body of the "Guanshan Taibao" was hurriedly incinerated.
Blind Chen's words were especially heard, but Shirley Yang and I did not expect that in the work record left by Professor Sun, "Guanshan Taibao" would be mentioned.
I have only met Professor Sun twice in Gutian County, Shaanxi, the two sides are not speculative, and this person has a strange temper, moody, and when he speaks, he is secretive, and he repeatedly wants to speak and stop, and he seems to hate the craftsman of the inverted fight, as an archaeological expert, he actually sneaked into the museum to spy on cultural relics, and also studied the history of ancient tomb robbers in his work records, I think this Professor Sun must be a person with many secrets, and what he does is something that even the gods can't guess.
