Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Five Elements of Yin and Yang
Early the next morning, our group immediately rushed to Beiping, Zhu Di's long tomb is located in the Ming Ten Tombs at the foot of Tianshou Mountain, the mausoleum area is surrounded by mountains, the middle is a plain, and there is a small river in front of the mausoleum. Since Zhu Di ascended the throne soon after the beginning of the long mausoleum, to the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen buried in the Si Ling, during the period of more than two years, has built ten emperor mausoleums, so it is named Ming Ten Tombs.
Ming Changling is located at the southern foot of the main peak of Tianshou Mountain, the largest building scale in the ten tombs, the earliest construction time is the ancestral tomb in the ten tombs, the ground building is also the most well preserved, the completion of the cemetery is personally supervised by Zhu Di, the scale of its cemetery is large, the materials are strictly elegant, the construction is fine, the project is huge, the construction time is long, only the underground palace lasts four years.
Shangnan Gong Yi came to check the history overnight, and traces of Daoyan's appearance can be found in the records of the construction and design of the Ming Changling Mausoleum and the site selection, and it can be said that Daoyan's greatest political achievement after Zhu Di ascended the throne is to design and build the imperial mausoleum that has been kept most intact and the most magnificent on the ground so far, and the entire project took less than five years.
As the emperor, Zhu Di built his own mausoleum after ascending the throne, which is understandable, and it is logical for Dao Yan under one person to take over and be in charge of this project, everything is normal in the eyes of outsiders, if Zhu Di hides all the treasures brought back from Genghis Khan's mausoleum, I believe that no one will think and doubt, which may also be the reason why Zhu Di has not gotten any treasures in recent years.
We arrived at the Ming Changling Mausoleum is already the morning of the first day, I have never been much interested in the things of the mountains and rivers, to put it bluntly, in fact, I am lazy, if I can lie at home I would rather stay at home, but when I stand on the top of the mountain and look down on the entire Ming Ten Tombs, I have to be heartily shocked and excited.
This world-famous imperial mausoleum group is fan-shaped and scattered at the foot of Tianshou Mountain, each imperial mausoleum records a period of historical changes and continuation, at a glance it seems that the history of the Ming Dynasty for several years is vividly displayed in front of you.
And one of the largest and most magnificent is known as the Ming Ten Tombs ancestral tomb of the long tomb, Gu Xiaoxiao took the compass and followed us down the mountain to explore the long tomb, first of all, through the stone archway, the big red door, walk through the Shinto, along the avenue forward, there is a tall stele pavilion in front of the face, standing in the center of the Shinto, this stele pavilion heavy eaves four doors erected a huge stone stele, the head of the turtle falls, high zhang Yu, on the inscription of the Ming Dynasty Changling Divine Meritorious Monument.
There are four Huabiao standing in the four corners outside the stele pavilion, the top plate of the Huabiao squats on the strange beast, the north and south are opposite, the one facing north is called Wangjun out, and the head facing south is called Wangjun Gui.
There is a door in the center of Shou Palace, you can go up to the Ming Building along the road, the building is square and opens the coupon door on all sides, the cross-shaped dome type ceiling runs through the middle, the top is the yellow cylinder tile heavy eaves rest mountain type, the eaves are under the list of the two words of the long tomb, there is a stele in the middle of the building, the stele body of the two characters of the Ming Dynasty is carved into the tomb of the ancestral emperor.
We go inside, enter the second courtyard, set up a temple gate in front, called Qi'en Gate, Nangong Yi tells us that this is the place to worship Zhu Di, the magnificence of the whole Qi'en shocked us, under the Sumeru pedestal surrounded by a white marble railing, its railing shape, for the dragon and phoenix carved pillars, and vases, cloud-style railings.
Under the four corners of the pedestal and the pillars of each railing, there are stone carved crests for drainage, and there are stepping steps before and after the pedestal. Among them, the bas-relief pattern carved on the royal stone between the steps is very exquisite, below is the sea water Jiangya cloud surge, the sea water treasure mountain stands, two seahorses jump out of the water Ling Bo galloping; Above are two vigorous dragons rising and flying in the sea of clouds, chasing the fire beads, presenting a magnificent and majestic scene.
Then forget to go inside is the Lingen Palace, the hall is nine rooms wide, five rooms deep, Gu Xiao novel this is the ninety-five position of the implication of the emperor, all the wood pieces in the hall are all made of gold silk nan wood, antique.
More than one meter in diameter, more than 10 meters high 60 golden silk nanmu pillars, supporting the top of the heavy eaves of 2,000 square meters, majestic, unparalleled, the bronze statue of the Yongle Emperor sitting on the throne of the Nine Dragons in the hall.
Go to the innermost place after passing the Qi'en Palace, we see a majestic Ming Tower, stand on the Ming Tower of Changling and look at it on all sides, the whole mausoleum is in full view, the two tombs of the left and right are standing side by side with the Changling, the shape is the same pen frame in general. The Yongling on the east side, the Dingling on the west side, and the Changling Tomb constitute a large mausoleum Dingzhi comparable to the situation, and the whole mausoleum area is integrated into one, which appears to be complete and symmetrical.
And what we are in front of us is the treasure city where the tomb of Emperor Zhu Di is located, the mountain that rises from the high tomb is covered by pines and cypresses and is called the treasure top, we go down to walk around the circular treasure mountain for more than two miles, and the emperor tomb of Zhu Di is under this treasure top.
"Fortunately, the Changling Tomb has been well preserved so far and has never been stolen and excavated, and it would indeed be a good place if Zhu Di hid Genghis Khan's treasure here." Yun Duruo squatted on the ground and touched the stone slab with his hand and said. "Genghis Khan's remains should also be under here."
"Then if that's the case, it's a big problem." Han Yu looked around with a wry smile on his face.
"Why?" I asked blankly.
"Since Zhu Di's imperial mausoleum has not been opened, how can we get in?" Han Yu spread his hands and smiled helplessly.
"That's not a bad thing, if we can't get in, the Fuso people can't get in, anyway, we can only let them not find the remains of Genghis Khan." Said disapprovingly.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't speak for a long time, slowly squatted on the ground and picked up some dirt and rubbed it in his hands, and then looked at the compass in his hand intently, his face becoming more and more hesitant.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" I walked over to her and asked seriously.
"The feng shui here can be called the auspicious soil of ten thousand years, the eighteen ridges here in Tianshou Mountain are majestic and dignified, the Fengge Dragon is across the Zhuo Liluo City, and the Hanmen Huabiao Town is Saixing River." Gu Xiaoxiao said while taking us back to the Ming Tower and looking into the distance. "The mountain here is like ten thousand horses rushing, the water is like the yellow dragon enthusiastic, there is the water of the saint ascending the temple, the world produces the Ming Jun, there is the mountain of the prince worshiping and dancing outside, and Yongfeng pays tribute."
"Changling was built by Daoyan for Zhu Di's site, according to Xiaoxiao's judgment of Feng Shui in this place, it can be seen that Daoyan's Taoist land is perfect." After hearing this, Han Yu looked into the distance and said with praise. "I am not proficient in feng shui, but I also know that if I get this treasure of feng shui, I will definitely win the emperor's industry and consolidate the mountains and rivers."
"This long tomb is like ten thousand horses descending from the sky, the four mountains are arched, the acupuncture method is natural, the righteousness of the world is seized, and it is the foundation of eternity." Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at the compass, but her expression was a little surprised. "However, although the feng shui here is auspicious for ten thousand years, Genghis Khan's wealth is definitely not hidden in Zhu Di's underground palace."
"Ahh All of us looked at Gu Xiaoxiao in amazement, and I asked in surprise. "Xiaoxiao, it's not that you said that if you want to urge Zhu Di's emperor's life, you must bury gold in the soil, this should be the most suitable place to hide wealth, why do you say that it can't be here now?"
"You see, the mountains here come from the sky, the momentum is like a dragon soaring, the east toe is according to Lu Long, the west ridge is galloping, even the Qianlong Emperor in later generations has praised Tianshou Mountain, the dragon vein comes to the southwest, the golden hall jade is open in the sky, the left ring and the right arch are really good, and the front peak is behind the protection of Cui Wei." Gu Xiaoxiao pointed to the mountains in the distance and said to us seriously. "If Zhu Di wants to be permanent on the river, he must use the golden gas to urge Emperor Wang's life, but it is not a simple matter of burying gold in the ground."
"Isn't this a good place to hide treasure?" I asked.
"If Zhu Di really hides Genghis Khan's treasure here, not only will he not be able to enjoy the emperor's life and long-term stability, but he will have a lot of fate and even change hands." Gu Xiaoxiao replied with a naïve answer.
"Why is this happening?" Yun Duruo asked puzzled.
"This place is the auspicious soil of ten thousand years, and the earth is the most prosperous among the five elements of the beautiful mountains and waters......"
"The five elements of yin and yang not only give birth to each other, but also restrain each other, and Tuwang will give birth to gold." Han Yu suddenly interrupted Gu Xiaoxiao's words, as if he understood something.
"Yes, this is the principle of the five elements of yin and yang, the five Taoist techniques are following this principle, Zhu Di's birthday eight characters and five elements lack gold, getting Genghis Khan's treasure can help him meet the life of the golden dragon, but everything has a so-called thing must be reversed." Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the compass in his hand and looked up at us and said. "If Zhu Di hides Genghis Khan's treasure here, this 10,000-year-old auspicious soil will give birth to endless golden energy, but everyone knows how much Genghis Khan's treasure is, if such a huge wealth treasure is spawned by the auspicious soil here, I am afraid that Zhu Di will not be able to bear it even if he is born without gold in the eight characters and five elements."
"Among the five elements, Jin Duo will definitely cause Zhu Di's five elements to be out of tune, and the disharmony of yin and yang will inevitably defeat the master, since Dao Yan has a deep channel and extraordinary attainments, he will definitely not see that this place will not only help Zhu Di to be permanent, but will also cause Zhu Di to die." Han Yu should have understood Gu Xiaoxiao's meaning and said with a deep breath. "Dao Yan can help Zhu Di claim the throne as emperor, and he will definitely not bury gold to harm Zhu Di."
"That'...... So where should it be buried in order to promote Zhu Di's imperial life? Yun Duruo asked blankly.
"The five elements of yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and the native gold is the fire but can overcome the gold, only by burying it in the land of fire can the gold produced by this huge treasure be restrained, so as to make up for the lack of gold in the eight characters of Zhu Di's birthday. Gu Xiaoxiao replied in the affirmative.
"It's hard to find Changling, and now it's not this place, the great Zhu Di in the world is a place where the emperor can build a place to hide treasures anywhere, and he will find it somewhere at this time." I sighed weakly and said with some disappointment.
Gu Xiaoxiao turned around and shook his head at us, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"In fact, the place is not big, Zhu Di has to use gold gas to ensure permanence, and the place where the gold is buried must be around Beiping, at least the scope of our exploration has been reduced a lot."
