Chapter 0045: Han Lu Temple, All Antecedents Are Effects (I)
Feng Baobao saw that Xu Zhaohua stopped and stopped to look at something, so he followed his gaze and saw that on the flat ground not far away, there was an extra building in the horizon, which looked like a righteous village.
The whole Yizhuang sits in the west and faces the east, backs the mountains and faces the water, covers an area of about hundreds of square meters, and the momentum is magnificent. The front of the Yizhuang gate is a figure-of-eight shape, and then it is the Lingxing Gate, the gate is painted with a painted door god, and there are two tablet pavilions built on the left and right behind it, and there should be something written on it. Passing through the instrument door is a wide patio, the patio is a corridor, there are corridors on both sides, and there are exquisitely carved stone carved railings in front of the patio pool in front of the steps of the two corridors. The end of the road is the terrace, climb the terrace and enter the second hall, the hall is called "the hall of righteousness", there is a huge plaque hanging in the hall, and the book "thousands of years and thousands of years" is four big characters.
After the hall, there is another patio in the dormitory, which has three wide stone steps. The dormitory is more than one meter higher than the front hall, and in front of the hall is a relief stone carved railing. There is a pair of stone lions on the stone steps and the balustrade heads, and the railings are beautifully carved, each with a different pattern. The dormitory is juxtaposed with three three-bay rooms, plus two end rooms, a total of eleven rooms, ten eaves pillars adopt the square stone pillars that are cut into the corners, and the plaque "Mending Heaven Pavilion" of handwriting is hung in the middle of the eaves.
The wooden components such as beams, humps, spines, flat pans and buckets in the dormitory are composed of various moire and floral patterns, the carving is exquisitely clear, and they are all painted with exquisite and exquisite paintings, with green and earth yellow as the main tone, and the contrasting colors such as orange, ochre, rose and red are used between them, the patterns are clear and gorgeous, and there are stairs at both ends, which can ascend to the attic of the second floor. The doors and windows are wide open, the second floor is set up with the main niche, the worship pavilion, the gray gang rock flagpole clamps a plurality, the carved railing painting building, the brocade embroidered fang, the gilt overflowing.
Feng Baobao looked at it in a daze for a while, only to find that at this time, in the direction of Yizhuang's only one facing their no building, there was a well enclosed in the center of the house, and the well was pressed by a big stone, and nothing else was seen on the big stone.
The fat man saw that it was unusual, so he beckoned everyone to go to Yizhuang to have a look.
As far as Feng Baobao knows, the main function of most Yizhuang is still to place the remains. In ancient times, when people went out to be officials or went to the sea to do business, they all hoped that they could be buried in their hometown after their death. During the period of time before the descendants are fully prepared to transfer the ancestors to the burial cemetery, Yizhuang is a place to provide coffins or urns for temporary unified placement. There are also special examples, such as the fact that individual deceased bodies have not been arranged by their family members in other places, or when their relatives are too poor to be buried, they can only be transferred to Yee Chong before making plans.
But this place, in the depths of the clouds of the underground palace, not to mention that there is no one in the city, it is simply a thousand mountains and birds flying away, and thousands of people are gone, how can they come to Yizhuang?
Feng Baobao looked back at the fog that was getting more and more foggy, and thought to himself that he would not care about it for now, and he would rest here later.
The three of them walked into different corners of Yizhuang in three directions to inquire about the situation, Feng Baobao walked into the Yizhuang hall alone, looking up at the top, a carp jumping over the dragon gate on the wood carving forehead jumped into view, and the next piece of the forehead carved is a three-star picture of Fu, Lu and Shou. The bas-relief carved pictures of flowers and birds on the seat of Sumeru are vivid and chic, making people feel as if they are in the world of flowers and birds. On both sides of the instrument gate, the stone drums confronted each other, and the plaques were hung high. Forehead Liang Pack, flat plate bucket, spine wood, finch for all are carved, all are carved, the knife is simple and powerful, and the lines are strong and bold. The stone carved railing of the righteous hall is a fine stone carving, the railing is engraved with Danfeng Chaoyang, the pine crane prolongs the year, the cuckoo sings the plum, the peony is rich, the picture is elegant and vivid, and the pieces are ingenious.
Feng Baobao stepped on the stairs and climbed to the second floor, the main shrine on the second floor was densely placed with tablets, and there was an incense burner in front, which was full of a thick layer of incense ash, she saw that there was still unused incense on the incense case, so she respectfully took out three and inserted them into the incense burner, and said in her mouth: "The ancestors and ancestors of Yizhuang, the younger generations have no intention of disturbing your purity, and I hope that the spring will not embarrass us." ”
After speaking, Feng Baobao bowed respectfully three times, and then felt a lot more at ease. Putting down the incense candle, she carefully looked at the inscriptions on the tablets, some of which read:
'Therefore, the spirit seat of the general Wang Yuantu', died on the first day of the first month of the first month of the year of Gengzi in Yangshuo.
'The spiritual seat of the Zhennan of the Wang clan of the Late Criminal Department', died on the first day of the first month of the year of Suihe Gengzi.
'Therefore, the Privy Deputy Envoy Wang's Ziping Spiritual Position' died on the first day of the first month of the first month of the year of Yuanshou Gengzi.
……
After looking at five or six tablets in a row, Feng Baobao hadn't noticed anything wrong at the beginning, but soon she was a little surprised: Why did all the people of the Wang clan on this tablet die in the year of Gengzi? And they all died on the same day and in the same month, and they all lived to the age of 60 and died?
No matter how coincidental it is, it can't be coincidental that everyone in the family dies like this, right? Feng Baobao looked at the entire row of spiritual positions with some doubts, and sure enough, the date of death was the same, and the Wang clan had held official positions of all sizes, whether it was as high as the prime minister or as low as the Sesame County Order, they had not escaped the age of a Jiazi year.
The more Feng Baobao looked at it, the more frightened he became, and a cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his back, and he felt a little nervous. As soon as she was nervous, she couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly climbed down from the second floor, and looked back at the dense spiritual position on the second floor with some panic, these people all died in one day!
In Yizhuang, Xu Zhaohua and the fat man were pondering the well in the patio, surrounding the well, as if something was about to run out of it.
Putting down the tablet in his heart, Feng Baobao ran to the well. The well is octagonal in shape and is more than a meter tall vertically. There were some symbols carved on the outside of the well, she squatted down and looked at it and didn't understand, it shouldn't be ancient characters.
Seeing that Feng Baobao was pondering these ghost talismans, Xu Zhaohua said: "Don't guess, these are Taoist ghost hunting symbols, and it should be that the Taoist priest has done magic on this well." ”
"Doing something?" Feng Baobao glanced at Xu Zhaohua with some surprise, and then left the well with a big stone in his hand, and his heart was full of reaction.
"Since ancient times, the well has been regarded as a medium of communication between yin and yang, and the ancients used the ground to draw water and draw it with bottles, which is called the well. The underground is connected to the depths of the stratum, which is often dark and cold, and the ancient people who dug the well were also bold and careful, and not everyone was qualified to dig the well. Before digging the well, the well digger must hand over his birthday to the Taoist priest, who decides whether you can go down to dig the well according to the birth date and the feng shui phase of the well, plus the auspicious luck of the yellow calendar. Because they believe that if the person's birthday does not match the well, the person will be taken away by Lord Yama when he digs the well, and the well dug will not be clean.
When the Taoist priest does things, he will sense himself and the well together, and the soul goes straight to the underworld through the well, and the underworld judge argues with the yin and yang, so now the well in Yizhuang should have been used by high-ranking people before, or maybe these symbols are just to suppress something, after all, there is a stone on it. ”
Feng Baobao was a little unconvinced, "Suppress things? Do you think there are ghosts everywhere you go, besides, there are Taoist spirit runes, and the stones are in charge of ......" Feng Baobao just put his hand on the big stone at the mouth of the well as he spoke, and suddenly grabbed it back like an electric run, and swallowed the rest of the words hard.
Because at the moment of contact, Feng Baobao felt a bone-chilling cold coming from his palm, which was as cold as the stones of Stonehenge, a bit like the sea water in winter, cold like a needle prick.
Xu Zhaohua looked at Feng Baobao's appearance a little funny, so she smiled and asked, "What's the matter, you can be scared by touching a stone?" ”
Xu Zhaohua also pretended to touch the big stone with her hand, as if she didn't feel that it was kind enough, and hugged the big stone with open shoulders, muttering: "This stone is nothing, why did you react so much just now?" ”
Seeing Xu Zhaohua's movements, Feng Baobao opened her mouth in surprise, why did she feel like an ice cube to the touch? So he cautiously stretched out his hand again, and quickly took it back with a swish, still the same as just now, as if his palm had touched an ice cellar.
"Fatty, touch this big rock, tell me how it feels?" Feng Baobao encouraged the fat man to come forward and try it.
The fat man put his hand on the big rock for a second...... Two seconds... Three seconds –
Ten seconds passed, and Feng Baobao still didn't see any change in the expression on the fat man's face.
"This is a rock, boss, what's wrong with you?" The fat man's face was full of question marks.
Feng Baobao waved his hand helplessly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, forget it, it may be that there is something wrong with my hand......"
It's really strange, why do you feel cold when you touch a stone? Feng Baobao was puzzled.
Xu Zhaohua stared at Feng Baobao for a while like a neuropathy, as if she was not at ease, so she advised, "Don't move this stone away, it must be useful for that Taoist priest to press it here back then, let's not cause other trouble." I'll go inside, and don't mess with anything outside. ”
Feng Baobao nodded to the fat man, and saw Xu Zhaohua pacing into the righteous hall.
Feng Baobao came to the place where the two stele pavilions at the gate of Yizhuang were erected, and the stele pavilions probably talked about the origin of Yizhuang and the life of the people who funded the construction of Yizhuang.
On the left stele pavilion, the front is neatly written with a small seal:
"Wang's family, derived from the surname Ji, when King Zhou Ling, the son Ji Jin spoke up and was deposed, because he was originally a royal family, also known as the surname Wang. His descendants take the king as the surname, and when it is passed down to the Han Dynasty, the name of the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty is Ji, and he does not take the same name as the person, so that the surname Ji changes the surname to Wang. The Wang family came from Qin, and it was a prison, and the father passed on to the son, the son passed on to the grandson, and the children and grandchildren did not end it. During the time of Emperor Wen, my Wang's family saw a dragon and was ordered to open the dragon and create a prosperous era of Wenjing. Unintentionally cursed, Wenjing Shengshi died. The descendants of the Wang family have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are all scepter-flail seals on their bodies, and they have a longevity. It is a family that establishes a righteous village with the Wang clan and sacrifices to the Qin Tianjian as a sacrifice family. In the first year of Emperor Wu, the earth's leylines changed, and the feng shui turned bad, so he invited the Taoist Taiping Zhenren to come, subjugate the demons and eliminate the demons, and get a yang Tianshi to suppress the evil spirits. ”
The inscription probably introduces the ancestor of Yizhuang, Wang, who was derived from the surname Ji, and the clansmen served as Taishi Ling in the imperial court Qin Tianjian for generations, stargazing and positioning, and surveying the dragon veins for the royal family. During the reign of Emperor Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, the Wang family was cursed by God because of too much leakage of heavenly opportunities, which led to the strange tablet of no more than one Gengzi.
Feng Baobao paced to the reverse side of the stele pavilion on the left, on which is an inscription written in pavilion style, which is probably the life of Wang Mang, the repairer of Yizhuang:
"Wang Mang, Han Quanchen, Wenxi, a native of Jinan County. Suihe eighteen years of Jinshi, for the award of editing. With autocratic government, he led to illness and seclusion, wrote great articles, and became very famous. Ten years later, he was recalled and served as the son of the country. The emperor mourned the opportunity to go to Huguang to tell the emperor's father, talked about Rui, invited Wenle stone, and won the emperor's favor. With his good strategy, Emperor Mourning successively served as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. In sixty-two years, he will be the prime minister. A few years later, the new emperor delayed the road and ignored the government, Wang Mang held the government, excluded dissidents, killed loyal ministers, said that the side affairs were neglected, the side was wasted, the wealth was exhausted, and the country was not in danger. Especially after the year, it is high in the year, and the government pays the subordinate. His son is in power, the city is changing officials, you are rampant, collecting treasures, causing the family to be ruined and people to be killed without hesitation, causing public anger. Three years later, his son was convicted of being convicted.
After reading the inscription, Feng Baobao suddenly felt funny, this Wang Mang just let the craftsman comment on his rights and wrongs on the stele pavilion, and he didn't destroy and rewrite it, could it be that his conscience found out? According to the inscription, this Wang Mang should not belong to the cursed descendants of the Wang family, but to the branch of the family. Wang Mang controlled the government and looted money on a large scale, causing the people to complain, and the folk rumored that Wang Mang's wealth was rival that of the country, and he killed all the dissidents who opposed the Wang family. After Wang Mang's downfall, Wang Mang's son was beheaded by the emperor, and Wang Mang's body disappeared with his Wanguan family wealth.
Feng Baobao looked around Yizhuang, and the fat man went to the nearby underground cave to pick up some firewood, because the temperature had dropped a little, it was relatively cold, and picking up more firewood could not only keep warm but also drive away the poisonous insects that might appear underground.
Feng Baobao looked in the righteous hall again, and didn't find anything else eye-catching, Xu Zhaohua had already climbed to the second floor, and he should soon find out that the strangeness on the tablet was. Then she saw that there seemed to be several columns of bookshelves in the earroom, and the shelves were full of books.
Feng Baobao was overjoyed, thinking that there might be some clues on these bookshelves, and it would be great if he could find the memorabilia of the year.
