Du Lao Er aimed at the door with a gun, Du Lao Da had the courage to go up and take a closer look, and after seeing it, he turned around and kicked Mo Lao San and a dog eating. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Damn, what nonsense! Scare Lao Tzu! There's a fart, it's a broken statue! ”
Everyone lit a few more miner's lamps, and Yuguan entered the stone room, only to find that the figure they saw just now was nothing more than a white marble statue standing over there.
The statue is nearly 1 meter tall and about 0.5 meters wide, and because the light of the miner's lamp is not clear enough, it looks like a person standing there just now.
Everyone looked around, and at this time, several mining lamps were lit, and the cave was full of light to see the whole picture.
This stone chamber is not large, 4 or 5 meters long and wide, boxy, and the top of the head and the soles of the feet are made of huge rocks. Except for this statue, it was empty inside.
Looking at the back of the stone gate, sure enough, there is an arm-thick, foot-long tap stone standing obliquely below. Below the pillar is a curved track. One end of the stone pillar was attached to the groove of the stone door with an iron buckle, which had rusted into a pile of dirt, and only the stone pillar was still firmly attached to the door.
Behind the door they opened, there was another tap stone, the one that had just been covered by Kitano Ryuyin with a hundred refined steel.
Ryuyin untied the steel wire that was wrapped around it and coiled it into a bundle and placed it in his backpack.
The statue is facing the entrance of the stone chamber, and behind it is another wooden door, more than a meter wide and more than two meters high, and the lacquer on it has decayed and lost its original color. Because of this strange statue standing in front of the wooden door, everyone did not know what was going on and did not dare to act rashly.
Mo Laosan carefully observed the white marble statue, this statue dragon robe and jade belt, stepping on turtle and snake, the top cover is round and light, the face is clear and solemn, the lines are round and slender, and the form is realistic and solemn.
Boss Du carefully looked at the stone room again, and found that it was such a white marble, and he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face.
Knowledgeable people know that this white marble is not jade, but a kind of marble, which is not very valuable. The reason why it is named jade is because it is shiny and shiny, and light can be transmitted in thin places. In the eyes of antique dealers, this kind of thing is not very valuable. However, for the study of cultural relics, it has high archaeological value.
Mo Laosan hesitated and asked Kitano Longyin, "I, are we wrong in judgment?" How could this statue of Emperor Zhenwu be ...... in the mausoleum of the Yuan Dynasty"
Mo Laosan's vision is still very sharp, and this statue is the Zhenwu Emperor enshrined by Taoism.
Zhenwu Emperor is also known as Xuantian God, Xuanwu Emperor, Yousheng Zhenjun Xuantian God, Demon Wandering Tianzun, Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch, Immeasurable Patriarch, full name Zhenwu Demon Emperor, is a famous Yujing god among Taoist immortals.
The Mongol tribes and the magnates of the Yuan Dynasty mainly believed in shamanism, and the appearance of the Zhenwu Emperor of Southern Taoism in such a mausoleum does make people feel a little unbelievable.
Kitano Ryuyin carefully observed the statue and said, "That's right, judging from the structure and location of this mausoleum and this statue, it is even more certain that this is an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty." Moreover, the founder may be the fifth-generation head of the Quanzhen Sect back then, Changchun Ziqiu. ”
Du Lao Dao: "It's getting more and more evil, how can this Quanzhen Sect get mixed up with the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty?" ”
The Quanzhen Sect had a close relationship with the Mongol Khan Genghis Khan, which is recorded in history.
According to historical records, in 1217, Changchun Ziqiu became the fifth head of the Quanzhen Sect. At that time, due to the chaos of war and the hardships of the people's livelihood, many people joined the Quanzhen Sect one after another in search of spiritual sustenance, and the Quanzhen Sect became famous in the north.
And the seventy-year-old Qiu Chu has a childish face and blue eyes, so it is rumored that he is proficient in the "art of immortality" and "the art of governing the world". These rumors also reached the ears of Genghis Khan, who led his army west to conquer the kingdom of Khorezm.
At this time, the Great Khan was already in the age of ear shun, and he felt that his energy was declining and old age was approaching, and the people around him said to him: Qiu Chuji is more than 300 years old, and he must have the art of immortality. Such an immortal should be invited quickly. So, Genghis Khan wrote a humble and earnest edict and sent Liu Zhonglu to invite Qiu Chuji.
At first, Qiu Chuji, who received the edict, felt quite embarrassed, the Quanzhen Sect has always advocated pure heart and few desires, quiet and inaction, and did not want to have anything to do with the government in troubled times. For this reason, he has successively rejected the invitations of Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty. However, Qiu Chuchu judged the situation and believed that the Mongol rulers were likely to dominate the world. For the sake of the development of the Quanzhen Religion, he finally decided to respond to the edict. At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to ask for the people's lives and persuade the Mongol Khan to kill fewer innocents.
In 1219, Qiu Chuji led 18 disciples including Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang to set off from Shandong to the west. Three years later, in the early summer of 1222, Qiu finally reached the Great Snow Mountains (present-day Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan) and met Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan was very happy when he saw that Qiu was really a fairy wind bone, so he went straight to the point and asked him for the art of immortality and the elixir of life. Qiu Chuji was obviously mentally prepared, he said: "There is only the way of hygiene in the world, but there is no elixir for longevity. ”
Qiu Chuji taught Genghis Khan the essentials of Taoism, and the short-lived people were all because they "did not understand the way of hygiene." The way of hygiene is based on "purifying the heart and reducing desires", that is, "first, to clear distracting thoughts, second, to reduce selfish desires, and third, to maintain peace of mind." This Taoist mantra opened Genghis Khan's eyes, and after that, Qiu Chuji stayed by Genghis Khan's side, chanting and preaching every day.
In the days when the two got along day and night, Qiu Chuji continued to admonish Genghis Khan with the small things around him.
Once, when Genghis Khan was hunting and shooting a wild boar, he suddenly lost his horse's hooves, but the wild boar did not dare to pounce on Genghis Khan. Afterwards, Qiu Chuji admonished and said: "God has the virtue of a good life, Your Majesty is now high in life, and you should go out hunting less." Falling from a horse is exactly what God warned Your Majesty. And the wild boar did not dare to approach, it was the heavens that protected His Majesty. Genghis Khan was convinced.
By 1223, Qiu had been with Genghis Khan for a year. Due to the lack of adaptation to the plateau climate and the longing for his homeland, Qiu decided to return to the east. The Great Khan reluctantly said goodbye to Qiu Chuji and offered him many treasures of gold and silver, but was refused. Therefore, Genghis Khan issued an edict to exempt the Quanzhen followers from paying taxes, and sent men with 5,000 cavalry to escort him back to his hometown.
Later, Genghis Khan gave Qiu Jihu Fu Seal Book, and ordered Yanjing Province to reward the imperial garden of the original Jin Dynasty to the Quanzhen Sect to build a palace. Since then, Qiu Chuji has been able to promote the Quanzhen Religion, build Taoism extensively, and take charge of Taoism in the world, and has achieved the status equivalent to the national teacher of Mongolia.
Kitano Ryuyin said: "This history is also recorded in the Yuan History. However, the historical records ignore an important point, or deliberately conceal something.
Genghis Khan and Qiu have been together for more than a year, if the two of them just talk about the scriptures, it is not enough for Genghis Khan to value him so much.
However, Genghis Khan not only sent 5,000 iron horsemen to escort him back to his hometown during the frequent battles, but also gave him the Tiger Talisman and the Seal Book at the Qiu. This tiger talisman and seal book were important tokens for the dispatch of troops in ancient times.
From another thing, we can also see the importance of Qiu Chuji to Genghis Khan. After Qiu's return, Genghis Khan also sent a special decree to ask him whether his return journey was smooth and whether he was living in a suitable place now, and said: "I always remember the immortals, and the immortals should not forget me!" ”
Genghis Khan attached such importance to Qiu Chuji, not only because he was a Taoist immortal, but because Qiu Chuji not only taught him the art of health preservation, but also taught him some unknown secrets - because these things involved the major secrets of the ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty, so they have not been passed on to the outside world, and they are not recorded in the historical records. ”
The young man surnamed Zhang asked tentatively: "Listening to what Mr. Long Yin means, is there something else in this?" ”
Kitano Ryuyin hesitated for a moment and said: "As a Taoist elder, this Qiu Chuji is also proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Bagua Technique, and during this time with Genghis Khan, he has also taught all this knowledge, and Genghis Khan is particularly concerned about some of the funeral-related mechanical illusions that Qiu Chuji talked about.
At that time, Genghis Khan was already old and the hero was in his twilight, and he also began to pay attention to the major events behind him. Before Genghis Khan, after the death of the Great Khan of Mongolia, the funerals were relatively casual, and the grave of the Great Khan was often found by the enemy and exhumed the corpse.
With Genghis Khan's status and identity, Iron Hoof has conquered most of Eurasia, and obviously will not be hasty with the major events behind him. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to be smart and agile in the cowardly Xue army to learn from Qiu Chuji the illusion of this Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Bagua.
The cowardly Xue Jun was the personal guard who was responsible for the funeral rites of the emperor and magnates, and they combined the illusion of the mechanism taught by Qiu Chuji with the funeral customs of the Mongols to form a unique burial system - most of the mausoleums of the Yuan Dynasty were not discovered by the world, which is also related to this. ”
When Beiye Longyin said this, he rubbed the statue with his hand and said: "This Zhenwu Emperor is enshrined in the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, which must be related to the worship customs of Taoism.......
Mo Laosan clapped his hands again and again when he heard this.
The young man surnamed Zhang also sighed: "Mr. Long, as a person in the rivers and lakes, has such an in-depth study of history, especially the secret history of the Yuan Dynasty, even domestic experts in the study of Yuan history have not grasped such information, right?" So where did Mr. Long Yin find out? ”
Kitano Ryuyin smiled indifferently: "What I said is all hearsay, and the folk history is not enough to believe, and I am just guessing." ”
Xiao Zhang knew that he was deliberately concealing it, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail.
Boss Du listened to Beiye Longyin for a long time, and he had been enduring it for a long time, but seeing that Xiao Zhang was very interested in this history, he had been holding back a bad seizure, so he couldn't hold it back at this time, and said: "Okay, good, Longyin is well-informed, then tell us, is the door behind this Zhenwu Emperor the tomb where the emperor Lao'er is buried?" ”
Long Yin didn't answer, and took out a pickaxe from his backpack.
This pickaxe has a strange appearance, one end is a shovel, the other end is a fork, the hoe handle is only a foot long, and the design is very exquisite.
Ryuyin used the forked end to probe carefully through the cracks in the wooden door. This wooden door is also very heavy, and after years of erosion, it has been mottled with paint.
After touching the gap and finding that there was no mechanism, Long Yin put on a deerskin glove and inserted one end of the crane's beak hoe and shovel into the crack of the door, and the Kitano tiger roared in the same way, priing another door with a crane's beak hoe, the two brothers looked at each other, and their hands exerted force at the same time, the door creaked, slowly opened outward, and the flying dust on it fell.
Contrary to the stone doors outside, which can only be pushed inward, these two wooden doors open outward.
Everyone avoided both sides to prevent the crossbow and other traps from being activated.
After the door opened, there was no sound inside, a black hole.
Boss Du picked up a miner's lamp, stuck it on the ground and shook it gently, the miner's lamp slipped into the inner room, and everyone could vaguely distinguish the appearance of the room by the light.
The burial chamber was a little larger than the outside, and a heavy sarcophagus was parked in the center of it.
Du Lao Er saw that there was no secret crossbow after Long Yin opened the door, and he was about to go inside with confidence and boldly, but was stopped by Mo Lao San.
"What for!" Du Lao Er thought that Mo Lao San was going to be ahead of him, so he shook his hand and opened Mo Lao San, turned his head and looked at him with a fierce face.
Mo Laosan's face was solemn, and he stretched out his fingers.
