Chapter 735: Yin and Yang Alternate
The more Ye Jiuqing spoke, the more excited he became, and pointed to the hall of enjoyment to tell us that the hanging dragon left by Qing Taizu in the first sentence of the inscription actually has two meanings here.
The roof of the palace is a double slope of the roof, and the two sides extend beyond the gable, which is called the top of the hanging mountain in the ancient building, because there are dragon kisses on both sides, so it is also called the top of the hanging dragon.
Ye Jiuqing's hand was raised upward, pointing to the Qiyun Mountain behind Yongling, where the mountain is rocky and rugged, and the ridge is like a dragon, and it is commonly said that the dragon is hanging in feng shui.
"Uncle Ye, since the roof of the palace and Qiyun Mountain are both hanging dragons, why did you say that the first sentence left by Qing Taizu in the inscription refers to Qiyun Mountain?" Tian Ji asked.
"You forgot that Samaku said that Dolgon and Duoduo retired everyone when they thought about the merit tablet, and closed the Yongling Tomb, and it reappeared three days later, and the Hall of Enjoyment was rebuilt, but nothing was found, which means that the hanging dragon in this sentence can only refer to Qiyun Mountain." Ye Jiuqing replied.
"If it's Qiyun Mountain, it can make sense." Bai Jin nodded and said with a serious face. "We have speculated before that when Dolgon carries Jiuding and the jade coffin, the farthest journey in three days is no more than 100 kilometers, and Qiyun Mountain happens to be within this range."
"That is to say, Qing Taizu hid a place in Qiyun Mountain." I looked at the Lingshan behind the Yongling, the text we deciphered, the second sentence mentioned the Holy Palace, presumably this is the final point of all the clues, and the location of the Holy Palace should be somewhere in Qiyun Mountain. "Jiuding and the jade coffin were not taken to the Dragon Vein Treasure, but secretly hidden in the Holy Palace, and if I guessed correctly, Qing Taizu also left the clues of the Dragon Vein Treasure inside."
"Qiyun Mountain is the remnant of Changbai Mountain, although the mountain is not high, but it is rolling for hundreds of miles, even if you know that the Holy Palace is in Qiyun Mountain, but the specific location is not indicated in the first sentence." Turzhan said with a calm face. "There are a total of twelve mountains in this mausoleum mountain, so you can't look for them next to each other, even if you search from beginning to end, you may not be able to gain anything."
"I don't know." Ye Jiuqing scratched his thinning hair and said. "From the first sentence, I can only guess that it refers to Qiyun Mountain, and I really don't see the specific location."
"We don't know, and neither does Dorgon, and if he can find it, it means that there must be some other implicit meaning in these two sentences." The palace lord pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. "Since the hanging dragon refers to the roof of Qiyun Mountain and Xiangdian at the same time, Qing Taizu will not leave vague prompts, we only focus on Qiyun Mountain, but what is the meaning of the roof of Xiangdian here?"
"Yin and yang patrol refers to the alternation of the sun and the moon, this sentence is not difficult to understand, and at the same time there is no mystery." Xue Xinrou thought for a long time and asked. "Zhiqiu, this sentence comes from the Book of Rites, what is the original text?"
The day of worship is in the east, and the moon is in the west, so as to distinguish the outside and the inside, and to end its position.
The sun is born in the east, the moon is born in the west, the length of yin and yang, and the end of the patrol, so that the sum of the world.
Ye Zhiqiu blurted out, I walked back and forth a few steps, and repeated these words in my mouth, it was easy to understand from between the lines, worship the sun in the east and the moon in the west.
"Don't be outside or inside, be in your place......" I asked, frowning and shaking my head. Zhiqiu, what do these two sentences mean? ”
Ye Zhiqiu said that the ancients had very strict regulations on the sacrifice of the sun and the moon, and in the ritual of the rites, in order to report the gods of heaven and the gods, the sun god was sacrificed on the altar, and the moon god was sacrificed in the pit, so as to distinguish between darkness and light, and divide the upper and lower levels.
The day of worship is in the east, and the moon is in the west, so as to distinguish the inside and the outside, and to correct its position means that the time of the sacrifice must also be at the time of the alternation of the sun and the moon.
"The sun and the moon?" Tian Ji looked confused. "How can the time of the sun and moon be determined?"
"No, the alternation of the sun and the moon mentioned here is a concept, and it was impossible for the ancients to calculate the cycle of the alternation of the sun and the moon, so the sun and the moon refer to the alternation of yin and yang." Ye Zhiqiu said.
"Yin and Yang alternate ......" I thought about it and was a little inspired. Generally speaking, noon is the time when yin and yang alternate, the so-called yin and yang decay refers to the alternation of yin and yang, could it be that the yin and yang in the first sentence refer to time? ”
"Maybe it's something else." Gong Jue said beside him.
"What do you mean?"
Gong Jue kept looking up at the roof of the palace, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face: "The ancients kept time, twelve hours a day, and noon happened to be the alternation of yin and yang, indicating that this hour happened to be a watershed, the meaning of the middle. ”
"In the middle!" Xue Xinrou's eyes lit up, she took a few steps back, and said loudly in surprise. "There is a protruding sword ridge in the middle of the hall, standing in the middle of the hall and looking at it, the middle sword ridge is just pointing to a mountain in Qiyun Mountain!"
Ye Jiuqing patted his head excitedly: "That's right!" That's what it means, the first sentence is to guide the location of the Holy Palace, which is the mountain to which the sword spine is pointing. ”
Without further ado, we immediately set off to Qiyun Mountain, arrive at the top of the mountain at dusk, the mountain is covered with snow, stand on the top of the mountain and look at the mountains in the distance, the continuous peaks and peaks overlap layer by layer as far as the eye can see, its unique geographical conditions make the mountain majestic and majestic, the ever-changing climate posture has been draped in a layer of mystery by the Manchurians since ancient times.
Different from the mountains of the Central Plains, most of our common mountain ranges take the forest as the main body, the strange peaks of Cangshan Mountain as the skeleton, and the Qingxi Bitan as the vein, constituting a vivid picture with a unique style.
And here the mountains overlap and green, the strange rocks are craggy, the smoke is vast and dangerous, and it is majestic, just like the rough mine and the unrestrained Manchurian people reveal unyielding fortitude.
Standing on the top of the hill just to overlook the entire Yongling, Ye Jiuqing praised the feng shui here, saying that the excellent feng shui of Yongling is entirely because of the mountain of Qiyun Mountain, this place should be the territory of the god of war, and the virtual ascension will come out one after another.
"Qiyun Mountain is the mausoleum mountain of Yongling, of course, Feng Shui is blessed, according to legend, here is a hanging dragon vein." Turzhan said as he walked.
"Dragon vein?" Tian Ji looked back at Turzhan and asked. "What do you mean by the Hanging Dragon Vein?"
"I've also heard feng shui rumors about Qiyun Mountain." Bai Jin said with a smile.
"Uncle Bai, tell us about it, I didn't believe in these things before, but now that I have been exposed to so much, I feel that Feng Shui is amazing." Xue Xinrou asked.
"Just tell them about it, it's quite tiring to climb, so it's a pastime." Bai Jin said to Turzhan.
Turzhan nodded to us and said, according to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a feng shui gentleman named Xing Jianling, who was very favored by the Jiajing Emperor, and one night, he accompanied the Jiajing Emperor to watch the celestial phenomena, and found that the eastern half of the Forbidden City was expected to be constantly rolling purple gas, as if there was a flying dragon in the clouds.
Emperor Jiajing asked Xing Jianling the reason after seeing it, Xing Jianling said that this cloud indicates that the northeast direction may be the true dragon son of heaven, because there is a mountain range in the northeast of the dragon, such a mountain range is in the shape of a dragon, it continues to grow and extend, when the dragon's head stretches out the river water, it symbolizes the dragon man dragon pool, the dragon has been generated.
If anyone occupies the cemetery in the dragon's den of this mountain range, his descendants can be high-ranking officials and even sit on the dragon chair, Emperor Jiajing heard this, worried that the Ming Dynasty would change hands, so he hurriedly sent Xing Jianling to take a group of people and horses to the northeast to break the dragon vein, so as not to appear the true dragon emperor.
Xing Jianling is doing his best along the way, where he thinks there is a dragon vein of the mountain, he ordered his subordinates to smash its dragon head, dig a deep ditch at the dragon's neck, they broke a total of ninety-nine dragon veins, because Qiyun Mountain mountain upward hanging three feet, is a rare hanging dragon, Xing Jianling only missed this one.
"This is just made up by later generations, this place is not the land of dragon veins, but Xing Jianling is not wrong about one thing." Ye Jiuqing said with a faint smile.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"According to the trend of the mountain range described in the mountain scriptures, this place should be the intersection of the Duilong Mountain Range in the north and the Zhenlong Mountain Range in the east, and it has the blood and impulse of two dragon veins at the same time." Ye Jiuqing looked around and said with a smile. "Every mountain range here stretches endlessly, all the way to the vast north, the momentum is majestic and the customs are rough, once there is a real dragon, it is destined to complete the earth-shattering feat."
"Uncle Ye, it's not a dragon vein here, it's so good?" Tian Ji asked as he walked.
"Feng Shui pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, not the dragon vein must be a treasure of feng shui, and there are many kinds of dragon veins, such as fierce dragons, dangerous dragons, etc., the real dragon veins can be met but not sought, but Qiyun Mountain is really blessed, a rare treasure of feng shui."
"Dad, tell us, what's so special about Feng Shui here?"
"Here is Venus spit lips, the end of the dragon knot hole, the dragon white tiger branch and the cave star, the formation of twelve Venus connected, the hibiscus tent is like a dragon plate, the white tiger is powerful to stop the river, the left water is poured to the right, the white tiger goes down the sand to collect the source water." Ye Jiuqing's mouth was like a hanging river, pointing to the undulating mountains of Qiyun Mountain and said. "The hall bureau opens the mountains and mountains to the court, there seems to be a trend of ten thousand mountains converging, the front is the mountain, it is three flags standing side by side, and the pattern is three Taiwans are phoenix-shaped."
"Brother Ye, I'm really convinced today, this is exactly what Old Man Ling said, he said that there is a dragon behind Qiyun Mountain, a phoenix in front, and a river in the middle, this is a dragon and phoenix, and the younger generations will be the emperor." Bai Jinxin said sincerely.
"The dragon and the phoenix are sandwiched by a bar......," I paused and thought for a while. The second sentence in the inscription is the dragon sand phoenix crown to show the holy palace, and the dragon sand phoenix crown appears in this sentence, which is a term in feng shui and earth, does it mean that the location of the holy palace is related to feng shui? ”
"I think the same way, Longsha refers to the soil of the terrain, and the phoenix crown refers to the form of the mountain, I have been paying attention to it all the way, but I have not seen a place that meets these two conditions at the same time." Ye Jiuqing nodded and replied.
Unconsciously, we had reached the top of the mountain, Ye Jiuqing stared around without saying a word, and after surveying back and forth in all directions, he returned to us and pointed to the north of the shade.
"The terrain here is steep on three sides, but the north side is open and conducive to construction, and at that time, Dolgon brought Jiuding and jade coffins at this time, so it is impossible for such a heavy thing to be transported to the cliff, so the location of the holy palace must be in the north."
