Chapter 728: The Ancestral Tomb of the Great Qing Dynasty
The Qing ancestral mausoleum mentioned by Turzhan is the Qing Yongling Mausoleum of Guanwai and Hetu Alaqi, where the Jueercha clan has guarded the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum for generations.
When we arrived at Yongling, we saw a mountain range covered with snow from afar, the peaks and mountains are stacked, the pine waves are roaring, although I am not proficient in feng shui, but at least I still know a little bit about it, look at this majestic momentum, like a giant dragon lying with its head held high, starting from the dragon's tail in the east, connecting the dragon's head in the west, stretching for dozens of miles.
"What kind of mountain is this?" I was curious to ask.
"This mountain was originally called Qiaoshan, which is the mausoleum of Yongling in the Qing Dynasty, and was later enshrined as Qiyun Mountain, which means Yunlong and peaceful." Tur looked at the rolling mountains and said in a respectful voice. "Qiyun Mountain is the remnant vein of Changbai Mountain, which can be described as the real land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty."
"Chaoge, count how many mountains there are in this Qiyun Mountain." Bai Jin said with a smile next to him.
I counted them from east to west: "No more, no less, exactly twelve peaks." ”
"Uncle Bai, why are you counting this?" Tian Ji asked curiously.
"Brother Ye, I know you have a bit of knowledge about Kanyu, how do you look at the feng shui here?" Bai Jin continued to ask with a smile.
"Twelve peaks...... Ye Jiuqing frowned, his expression a little stunned. Since it is the mausoleum of the ancestral tomb of the Qing Dynasty, this feng shui is very important, the mountain momentum of Qiyun Mountain is high and low, the east is prosperous and the west is declining, if it is the ancestral mountain, although it can continue to be continuous, but the momentum is also weakened in the future. ”
"Brother Ye has good eyesight." Bai Jin gave a thumbs up in front of Ye Jiuqing.
"Dad, this feng shui is really a bit of a doorway, when will you teach me too." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile beside him.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn this, it's not that Uncle Feng didn't teach you before, you don't have the material to learn this thing at all." I said with a wry smile.
"I didn't want to learn it because I thought it was nonsense, but now I believe it may really work."
"Why did you suddenly believe it?" Tian Ji asked curiously.
"Qiyun Mountain has a total of twelve peaks from beginning to end, and the Qing Dynasty from Qing Taizu to Puyi happened to go through twelve emperors." Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand and pointed at Qiyun Mountain and said. "You see, according to the chronological order of rule, Kangxi, Qianlong, and Guangxu reigned for a long time, and the corresponding mountain bag was tall, and Yongzheng, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi reigned for a short time, and the corresponding mountain bag was short, and the mountain bag corresponding to the last emperor Puyi was just the dragon's tail, and the mountain was the lowest and even flat."
"It seems that Zhiqiu really has some talent, I once asked Old Man Ling to come here to investigate Feng Shui, and his old man is also full of praise for this place." Bai Jin nodded with a smile and said.
"He has also investigated the feng shui here, but did he say anything?" Ye Jiuqing asked.
"I originally hoped that the old man Ling would help investigate the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, but after arriving here, his old family said that the dragon ancestor of the Qing Dynasty turned from the northeast to the north and then to the southeast, stretching for hundreds of kilometers all the way, surrounded by layers of clusters, the Yongling dragon hugged before and after, the dragon line was like a huge wave swarming, the momentum was extraordinary, and the head of the shoulder opened the gold and water bead tent, and the left and right two entangled dragon escorted to the head." Bai Jin asked Ye Jiuqing with a smile when he said this. "I heard from his old man that Brother Ye's physiognomy is extraordinary, I don't know if you can see what pattern this is?"
"The cave star is a giant gate star, the cave star is on the top of the lower vein, to the foot of the mountain is now a child's brain, open the mouth and spit out the lips, the left and right dragons and tigers are called, and the pattern of the giant dragon and pearls is formed." Ye Jiuqing stared at it for a long time and then blurted out.
"No wonder Old Man Ling praised Brother Ye so much, it is really extraordinary, just like what his old man said, the dragon of Yongling, the situation is good, with the momentum of ten thousand times, plus the sparkling Suzi River and Caota River are like two silver streamers, inlaid in the mausoleum area, surrounded by mountains and arches, and all rivers are dynasties."
"This is indeed a blessed land, if the front is a hundred officials, the green dragon on the left is meandering, the Fengshan on the right is dancing, the Ming Hall in front of the cave is open and wide, the gate of heaven is open and the ground is closed, the outer mountain is wrapped in dense city walls, the surrounding peaks are listed, the noon chimney mountain, majestic and majestic." Ye Jiuqing said with a faint smile with emotion. "It's just a pity that it's not a dragon vein, the Twelve Star Peaks are strong and weak, and it is difficult to become a long-term trend, and the momentum is destined to get worse and worse."
"It's really rare that such feng shui can produce twelve emperors." I turned my head to look at Bai Jin, and said meaningfully. "No wonder the Bai family can become the king of Liaodong on an equal footing with the royal family, in the three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Bai family have made great contributions."
Bai Jin couldn't hear my voice, but Ye Jiuqing took the words: "Dust to dust to dust, the merits of the ancestors of the Bai family, how can you count the descendants of the Bai family." ”
"Yes." Bai Jin smiled heartily, pointed to his waist and said. "In addition to the ancestors, the descendants of the Bai family are all idle, relying on the reputation of the ancestors to eat and wait for death in Liaodong."
Ye Jiuqing and I looked at each other, and I knew in my heart that he was telling me that what the ancestors of the Bai family did had nothing to do with Bai Jin, and asked me not to hate the house and Wu Qian and be angry with the descendants of the Bai family.
There is a spacious Shinto road in front, and an archway stands on top of the temple, with four vigorous characters on it, and the former Qing Dynasty hometown.
Turzhan told us that we were almost at Yongling, and along the straight Huangsha Shinto, Turzhan led us through the Zhenghong Gate, the main gateway of Yongling in the Qing Dynasty, and the architectural form of the wooden fence retained the architectural characteristics of the Manchus.
The front yard is juxtaposed with the four ancestral stele towers, the scale and size of the building are the same, there is a sitting dragon on the left and right of the front and back doors of each stele tower, these sixteen sitting dragons are intended to sit firmly in the Qing Dynasty.
The second door of the Yongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty is the two sides of the Qiyun Gate each have the symmetrical multicolored cloud dragon sleeve wall two, the shape is exquisite and lifelike, through the Qiyun Gate is the square city, with the Qiyun Hall as the main body, the left and right compartments are separated from the east and west with the hall, and the gods are enshrined.
Bypassing the Qiyun Palace, we stepped into Baocheng, which is the location of the mausoleum and tomb, where the six ancestors of the Qing Dynasty rested.
But Turzhan did not stop, and led us on a path beside Yongling, and it was not long before we saw a small village in decline.
"What is this place?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"This is the village where the mausoleum keepers lived, and it is also where my ancestors once lived." Turzhan replied.
"Why don't you see how many people there are?" Tian Ji asked.
"Things are people, not ......"
Turzhan sighed in a gloomy voice, and told us that at the peak of this place, as many as 3,000 people performed their duties, and the guarding of the mausoleum was not simply to take care of the mausoleum, their work was very complicated, and a complete institutional system was formed, mainly responsible for the protection, repair and ritual of the Yongling.
"After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the identity of the mausoleum keeper withdrew from the historical stage, but only the direct descendants of Bamburi who were sealed at the beginning remained here, which is their pride and mission in the blood, regardless of the changes of the years, they also have the imperial tomb that guards the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty." Bai Jin turned back to us and said. "You don't believe it, Yongling has never been stolen in the past few hundred years, and it's all the credit of the mausoleum keepers."
"Since it is the ancestral tomb of the Qing Dynasty, why would you let the side family guard the tomb?" Xue Xinrou asked.
Turzhan told us that the ancestors of his family, Baanburi and Qing Taizu, were originally uncles and brothers, but because they violated the ancestral system, they were removed from the status of red ribbons in the Banburi lineage, and they were no longer allowed to be called Jueluo, and changed their name to Jueercha.
It stands to reason that it is normal to hold a grudge against such a punishment, but Bamburi has a bold temperament so much that he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and then once Qing Taizu wanted to go to another tribe that had just returned to the banquet, Bamburi stopped the horse's head and forcibly stopped, no matter how dissatisfied Qing Taizu Chi was unwilling to let go, and it turned out that the tribe had different intentions, and since then Qing Taizu has a heart and soul to Bamburi.
It is for this reason that the Qing Taizu let Banburi guard the imperial mausoleum, and the descendants can not go out of business, do not pay tribute, and guard the mausoleum for generations, so there are generations of Fuling Jueercha clan mausoleum guards.
"Qing Taizu left the clues to Bamburi and asked him to stay in Hetuala, it seems to be a very thoughtful strategy, who would have thought that a side family who was punished by Qing Taizu would hide a secret related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty." Ye Jiuqing muttered to himself. "There's just one thing I didn't understand."
"Brother Ye, what didn't you understand?"
"The Great Qing Dragon Vein Treasure is very important, even if Qing Taizu is trusting Ban Buli, it is impossible to tell the truth bluntly, so what is Qing Taizu leaving to Bambuli?"
"Dad, I'm really not worried about this, hundreds of years have passed, and the treasure of the Great Qing Dragon Vein is still in the legend, so it can be seen that no one has discovered this place." Ye Zhiqiu said with a serious face beside him. "I'm worried about whether Bamburi, the most mausoleum keeper, can pass on this clue."
"Yes, I'm also quite worried, after all, the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for so long, and the identity of the mausoleum keeper is hereditary, I don't know if the clues have been preserved in time after the changes." The palace lord was also worried.
"Don't look at the number of people here used to be as many as three thousand, but most of them were royal nobles who made mistakes and were relegated to guard the mausoleum here, these people felt that guarding the mausoleum was a punishment, but in the eyes of Bambuli's direct descendants, it was an honor and duty." Turzhan said as he walked. "If the crown prince really has something to explain to the ancestors, as long as this bloodline is not broken, it will definitely be passed on."
After Turzhan finished speaking, he stopped in front of a low and old house, and before entering the door, Turzhan hesitated for a long time, but still turned his head and said to us solemnly.
"After entering, don't mention any dragon vein treasures, if you have anything to ask, please say that you are here to inspect Yongling."
"Listen to him, we are Han people after all, and we went to the graves of our ancestors to ask for dragon veins, isn't this looking for scolding." Bai Jin also told us.
