"Empress Dowager Cixi!" Yu Yisu said the name word by word.

"Empress Dowager Cixi?" Wu Zhiyuan was surprised, "She...... Isn't she the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Dynasty? This handkerchief ...... Is it hers? She's been dead for almost twenty years. ”

Wu Zhiyuan always felt that this was too unbelievable, the Maoshan faction was originally a Taoist sect, and the Maoshan faction of Jiangsu, and the Empress Dowager Cixi lived in the Inner Palace, with a prominent status, and it seemed that there was no intersection between the two, and the handkerchief that could be taken out of the Maoshan treasure mirror was actually used by the Empress Dowager Cixi back then, which had to be unbelievable.

"That's her." Yu Yisu frowned, nodded, and pointed to the pattern of the sun, "Look at the sun embroidered on it, it is a metaphor for the surname of Yehenara, and the Empress Dowager Cixi is the Yehenara clan." ”

Wu Zhiyuan fell into deep thought when he heard this, in fact, although he had read books, because the fall of the Manchu Dynasty was not long from now, so the records about the Empress Dowager Cixi were rarely seen in books, and the allusions he knew about the Empress Dowager Cixi were completely obtained from some oral stories. The Empress Dowager Cixi is the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who listened to the government in the last years, and the legend says that she poisoned the Guangxu Emperor, controlled the government, and betrayed the country to seek glory. Wu Zhiyuan also heard that she was a follower of Tibetan Buddhism, and it is said that her title of "Lafayette" was related to her faith.

Regardless of this person's folk evaluation, after all, she was the empress dowager of the imperial city of Beijing at that time, and it was impossible for her to have anything to do with the Maoshan faction in Jiangsu, which was thousands of miles away, and the Maoshan faction was a Taoist sect, and it belonged to a different sect from the Buddhism believed in by the Empress Dowager Cixi, which showed that the boundary between the two was very clear.

"Uncle Shi, didn't you fabricate a lie to deceive me again?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at Yu Yisu vigilantly, and after some deep thought, he felt that the origin of the handkerchief mentioned by Yu Yisu was a bit illogical, although the evidence was sufficient on the surface, but it could not withstand scrutiny.

"What am I lying to you for?" Yu Yisu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Wu Zhiyuan to be suspicious.

"Just because this handkerchief is embroidered with a sun pattern, you are involved with the Empress Dowager Cixi who does not match at all, this lie is a bit too outrageous, right?" Wu Zhiyuan sneered.

"You kid, your uncle and I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in a hurry?" Yu Yisu was serious at this time, and his fingers flicked lightly on Wu Zhiyuan's head, but he really had the demeanor of an elder.

"So what else? Say it. Wu Zhiyuan didn't care whether Yisu's words were true or false, he first snatched the handkerchief back and put it back into his arms.

Yu Yisu looked at the fire not far away, and with the leaping of the flames, his eyes gradually blurred, and he fell into the memories of the past: "Your master and I were both picked up by your master from the outside, and in that year, there were internal and external troubles, and the people were not able to make a living, and many children from poor families could not live at all because they had no food to eat, so in the pavilion under Maoshan Mountain, you would often find babies who were still in swaddling clothes, and your master and I were also sent to Maoshan and raised by your master." ”

"Getting to the point." Wu Zhiyuan urged.

Yu Yisu paused and continued: "I still remember that I was about the same age as you that year, and one day a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly came from the Maoshan faction, and without saying a word, they arrested my third uncle. At that time, we didn't know what was going on, because although our Maoshan disciples traveled all over the world, they all did good deeds to subdue ghosts and drive away evil spirits, and never participated in the grievances between the living. Originally, we all thought that he was more than lucky, and he must have touched the interests of the local bureaucrats when he was out for good, so he was harmed. ”

When Yu Yisu said this, Wu Zhiyuan thought of raising a little ghost in Zhang Dashuai's mansion, if the third master also suffered a similar incident back then, he might get into trouble because of this.

Yu Yisu sighed and continued to recall: "I didn't expect that a year later, the news of my third uncle suddenly came, and the person with the message said that he was captured by officers and soldiers to Botuoyu in Beijing. ”

"What is this place?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.

Yu Yisu did not answer Wu Zhiyuan's question directly, and said quietly: "My master only found that when he arrived at Botuoyu, the feng shui here is excellent, the imperial qi lingers, and the stars are secretly combined, but the wood qi is faintly prosperous. However, at this time, my master discovered that a huge mausoleum was being built on this Botuo Valley, and that it had been heavily guarded by officers and soldiers all around it. ”

"Could it be the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi?" Wu Zhiyuan had a flash of inspiration and asked.

"Hmm." Yu Yisu nodded, "It was at this time that my master realized that my third uncle was arrested to design the feng shui layout of the mausoleum and the mausoleum protection mechanism, and the owner of this mausoleum was the Empress Dowager Cixi, who listened to the government at that time. ”

"My third uncle's ability to reach the climax of the formation is superb, but the Xuanmen Yuan Qi is not good at it, so after being held hostage, he can only be ordered by others, and there is no way to escape, and then he bought a supervisor and asked him to give my master a message, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid no one will know the whereabouts of my third uncle in this life." A trace of sadness flashed on Yu Yisu's face, after all, he and this third uncle had gotten along day and night, and there must be feelings between the two, but Wu Zhiyuan had never seen this third master at all, so he couldn't experience Yu Yisu's sad feelings.

"Fortunately, my master's vitality cultivation is relatively high, he took advantage of the night to hide the eyes of the guards and overseers, and blended in with the coolies who built the mausoleum. Yu Yisu Youyou recalled that these episodes should naturally be described by Gu Shen when he later explained to the disciples of Maoshan, "Because of the urgency of the situation at that time, my third uncle only said a few words to my master, and handed over this Maoshan treasure mirror to my master. ”

"What did he say?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.

He said that none of these people who built the mausoleum could get out alive, and that the feng shui layout and mechanism formations in the mausoleum were all designed by him, and once the mausoleum was completed and the owner of the tomb was buried, all the mechanisms and formations would be in a state to be activated to protect the integrity of the mausoleum. At the same time, the entrance to the mausoleum will be completely sealed and will never be opened. Yu Yisu changed his words and said, "However, he left a hand at that time and set up a secret door in the layout of the mausoleum, which is also a weak link in the entire layout, just hope that when the mausoleum is built, these officers and soldiers will not kill them directly in the mausoleum, so that they can escape through this secret door." ”

In order to prevent the location of the tomb and the treasures in the tomb from being leaked after death, the owner of the mausoleum often exterminated the workers who built the mausoleum and the feng shui master and other cadres, such precedents are not a few in history, and the burial pit of 10,000 people in the tomb of the emperor of Yan is also an example, which Wu Zhiyuan has a deep experience.

"He used cinnabar to draw the general location of the mausoleum, the layout of the mausoleum and the location of the secret door on a handkerchief that was lost when the owner of the tomb came to inspect, and hid it in the Maoshan treasure mirror." Yu Yisu looked at Wu Zhiyuan's chest, "It's the handkerchief in your arms." ”

Wu Zhiyuan subconsciously touched his chest, only to hear Yu Yisu continue: "Because he wants to use the compass, bronze mirror, and other Taoist magic tools to set up the layout formation, all of them have repeatedly escaped the eyes of the officers and soldiers and the overseers, but the situation was critical at that time, and he did not say who the owner of this tomb was, so this has always become our speculation." ”

"Then your third uncle...... Oh, that's what happened to my third master? Did you escape through the secret door that had been set up in advance? Wu Zhiyuan asked curiously.
