Chapter 59: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (1)

"Uh...... Don't feed me to the snakes! It seemed that Shi Lingren's sequelae were very serious, Yue Zhende touched his forehead uncomfortably and stood up, "What the hell ......is this?"

It looks like the brain CPU is reading the memory.

He recalled what happened before he fell unconscious, but Yue Zhende didn't ask Shi Lingren "what happened", but looked around very wisely and stood up, it seemed that he had reasoned the result on his own. This is also a very clear thing, normal people can easily conclude with a little thinking about comprehensive intelligence - they are still alive, the overhaul snake is gone, and there is a group of acquaintances in front of them - obviously they are saved, but this is also the outsider's clear, ordinary people just wake up from a coma and are often too lazy to think and are used to asking others, just like people are always confused when they first wake up.

"Hmm, isn't this Miss Hu Qinglan?" Yue Zhende looked at Hu Qinglan with a flattering expression on his face.

"Bang!" Hu Qinglan's foot kicked Yue Zhende's chest fiercely, this kick was fast and ruthless, and it was difficult for Yue Zhende to make an attack. Then grabbed Yue Zhende's neck, "Yue Run, why did you run back?" It stands to reason that you can't survive alone...... It looks like you still have a lot of secrets. ”

"If you kill me, I'll never know what happened to me." Although in the jade hand clamping, even the corners of the mouth twitched. But I still clearly read the above meaning from Yue Zhende's eyes.

"Don't worry! I have no intention of killing you. When holding down Yue Zhende's head, Hu Qinglan explained softly. I'm just going to compress your arteries, cause a lack of blood supply to the brain, and make your body self-protection an idiot, unless you take the initiative to tell me what you've encountered! ”

When Yue Zhende closed his eyes, it seemed that he had returned to the moment when he was running wildly in the pitch-black tropical jungle. Although it was at night, and in the dense and shrub-covered tropical jungle, Yue Zhende's speed was still amazingly fast, like a lone wolf in the night. But to be honest, Yue Zhende was really grateful to his ancestors for being able to get away with it this time. "Thank you, Almighty ancestors, for bless your most pious descendants."

While escaping, Yue Zhende prayed to his ancestors, listening to the movement behind him, he couldn't hear the movement of those monsters chasing after him at all, Yue Zhende changed direction and turned to the right to escape. Although Yue Zhende felt that he had escaped the pursuit of the snake monsters behind him, Yue Zhende still ran forward with all his strength for a long time. Jumping and shuttling through the jungle for a long time, even the Jianghu people will be tired. Yue Zhende ran until he was too tired to run, and then he stopped to rest for a while. If the monster could catch up now, Yue Zhende himself would be resigned to fate. Sitting under a huge tree, Yue Zhende took out a little water and food from his field bag and ate it. After running away for a while, Yue Zhende's body is now extremely tired, and it is necessary to replenish some energy. After taking a few sips of water and eating something, Yue Zhende, who was sitting under the tree, kept panting. "He's meowing! I don't know what's going on, this time the Dragon Vein Secret Realm has just opened, how could I encounter such a crazy demon spirit! ”

While gasping, Yue Zhende cursed in confusion. "The demon spirits in the family legend are not so crazy!"

After replenishing a little water and food, Yue Zhende only felt that his spirit was much better, "I don't know, what happened to Shen Shuiyue at that time, with that beautiful woman Hu Qinglan and those unlucky mercenaries, won't they all die." ”

Yue Zhende thought with some malice: "But it's really fucking trouble!" What should I do with that snake cultivator next? ”

When Yue Zhende thought of this, he suddenly felt a little irritable. "I don't know where those people are?"

Yue Zhende stood up and punched the big tree behind him, wanting to express his inner depression and unhappiness, "Ah! Bastard! What's the matter, even a tree has become so hard! ”

Yue Zhende punched the big tree behind him fiercely, only to feel that it seemed to be not made of wood, but made of steel, and suddenly a sharp pain came from his hand. "He's meowing, he's a villain!"

Yue Zhende's anger suddenly came up, but he thought about it. Whoever is chased like this and runs for a whole night will be on fire. Yue Zhende raised his saber and slashed at the big tree that was originally leaning behind him. With hatred, the saber suddenly slashed at the big tree in front of Yue Zhende, according to Yue Zhende's thoughts, how could this tree be broken this time, even if it was constantly beaten, a huge hole must be there. However, everything that followed made Yue Zhende stunned. The saber slashed at the trunk of the tree, and the trunk was hit hard, and some sawdust, sap, and other things splashed out. Some even splashed on Yue Zhende's body and face. It felt a little sticky, "It's weird." ”

Yue Zhende stretched out his hand and touched it, and immediately realized what kind of sawdust and sap were there, which were clearly flesh and blood with a slight fishy smell, as well as scales. "He's meowing!"

Before Yue Zhende could escape, a huge roar came from the top of Yue Zhende's head, and then a huge blood basin mouth the size of a car bit it at once, and it was about to swallow Yue Zhende into his stomach in one bite. Poor Yue Zhende just got out of the tiger's mouth and entered the snake's nest again. And this time it was delivered to the door, and if it weren't for an accident, he would have been swallowed by now without even a single bone.

And what stopped the overhaul snake was one side...... Battle Flag! A battle flag with a treading white tiger as the pattern emblem!

And this is almost impossible. Because...... Because of the sudden appearance of this flag, Hu Qinglan was in chaos. "First Shen Shuiyue, your golden heavenly qi, and then the White Tiger Battle Banner, is Tianwu still alive?"

This white tiger battle flag can be said to run through the entire history of the Five Emperors.

Hu Qinglan hesitated again and again, and finally said something to me...... It turned out that this White Tiger God was not the product of the whim of the Five Clans, but to commemorate the realization of a big plan.

Her words also made me understand why they are called zodiac signs.

Judging from the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Yinxu, the sexagenary branch was mainly used in ancient China for the day, and it was also used for the month, the year, and the time. So, who is the inventor of the Ganzhi Discipline Law? Although there are some theories to verify the origin of the Ganzhi, who actually invented it? When did it first appear? Always a mystery. Around the end of the Warring States period, the historical book "Shiben", compiled on the basis of the materials accumulated by historians from various countries for a long time, said: "Rong Cheng is a calendar, and Da Hua is a Jiazi", "Both of them are ministers of the Yellow Emperor, and since the Yellow Emperor, they have used the Jiazi Chronicle, every 60 days and Jiazi is a week." It seems that the stem branch is created by Da Luo, and Da Luo "adopts the feelings of the five elements, occupies the bucket machine and builds, and starts to make A and B to the name of the day, which is called dry; As a child ugly to the name of the month, called the branch, something in the sky then use the day, something in the ground then use the month, the difference between yin and yang, so there is a branch name also. Guo Moruo believes in the "Oracle Bone Script Research Interpretation of Ganzhi" that in the past, people's interpretations of Ganzhi were all conjectures based on the meaning of the text, and the "Ten Heavenly Stems" was purely a natural occurrence of decimal notation, most of which were created by the Yin people. As for the "12 earthly branches", which originated in ancient Babylon, after comparing the 12 hours in ancient China and the 12 signs in ancient Babylon, it is pointed out that the 12 stars and the 12 earthly branches in ancient China evolved from the 12 signs of the zodiac in ancient Babylon. The way it was introduced to China can be boldly speculated, perhaps the Shang people "originally came from the northwest, and when they came, they carried the ephemeris knowledge taught by Babylon and used it after entering Middle-earth", or perhaps "the Shang family originated in the east, and its ephemeris knowledge was imported by merchants or herdsmen from the west".

Although it is not known that this is because the Yandi clan became the pharaohs, in order to refute the Ganzhi, some scholars still explore the unique phenomenon that the characters in the Ten Heavenly Stems have been used for names from the ancient Xia Dynasty imperial lineage and the names of all the emperors below the Tang King of the Shang Dynasty. Chen Zunfei pointed out in "The History of Chinese Astronomy" that "in the Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago, there may have been a cadre branch." Zheng Wenguang believes in his book "The Origin of Chinese Astronomy" that the Ten Heavenly Stems originated from the myths and legends of Fuxi and "Ten Days of Life" in ancient China, which is a reflection of the concept of decimal law in the chronology, and should have originated in the primitive dynasty of the fishing and hunting dynasty; The "Twelve Earthly Branches" evolved from the myth and legend of Changxi's "Ten Births of the Moon", which was produced before the Yin Shang Dynasty and gradually evolved into the Twelve Yuanchen. Therefore, Zheng Wenguang's hexagram is a concrete omen as "the twelve branches should be the creation of the Xia people." Du Shiran et al., in the book "Manuscript of the History of Chinese Science and Technology", advocated that the Xia Dynasty had a ten-day dry method, and the Shang Dynasty further used the dry branch method on the basis of the Xia Dynasty's Tiangan day, so as to combine the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches together to form a sixty-cycle chronological method. Now I already know that the prototype of the 12 Yuanchen, the 12 earthly branches, was created by the Emperor Chengjiu according to the extraterrestrial race star path, and deduced together with Pangu to form the 10 heavenly stems and the 12 earthly branches, but what kind of secrets are there in the ten, twelve, and sixty Jiazi? Why became a zodiac sign?

In Tianzhu's theory of the origin of the universe, cosmic time is regarded as a never-ending cycle of alternating creation and destruction, which has no similarity with the cosmology of some modern sciences. Each reincarnation is equivalent to one hundred years in the life of Brahma. At the end of this expanded universe, the entire universe, including the supreme god Brahma, and other gods, wise men, devils, animals, people, and things will be dissolved into the great flood that the Tianzhu people call "Mahabharaya." Thus, there was a hundred years of chaos, after which Brahma was born again, and another reincarnation began. In this way, creation is a continuum. At the beginning of each creation cycle, there is always a flood that floods the universe. These cycles are divided into segments and sub-segments, each with a fair judgment, in which morality and virtue play a major and important causal role. The most important reincarnation is the "calamity", which is one day in the life of Brahma, but it is equivalent to 4.32 billion years in the world. Many myths describe the beginning of each creation cycle. One of the most popular myths is the idea in the Vedas of a cosmic golden egg floating on cosmic waters. A thousand years later, the egg cracked open and gave birth to the Lord of the Universe, who became the first eternal man, whose soul was completely united with the spirit of the universe. The first man was called the original man, because he was the first to destroy all sin with fire. But when the original man first saw the cosmic water of the empty ruins, he felt fear - because he realized that he was completely alone. But he also immediately understood that there was nothing to be afraid of – precisely because he was alone. However, the original man was not happy to be lonely, so he divided himself into two halvesβ€”half female and half male. But the original man, feeling that he was divided, was united with his male part, and took his female part as his wife. Together, they took the shapes of many creatures, giving birth to all kinds of animals. Life was created.

In other versions of this creation myth, the creator is Nalayana, but the result is the same. Later, mythology tended to refer to Brahma as the creator. In these myths, the Lord of the Universe lies in the abyss of the Great Flood for a thousand years, hatching the Egg of the Universe until Brahma emerges from a lotus flower, who is self-created but has the power of the Lord of the Universe. Many of these same elements are present in the creation story of the Manu Codex, but a new idea is proposed: Manu was a sage, a man who survived the Mahabharaya or destruction, and played a leading role in the latter phase of the revival of the wasteland after the war of the gods. It is also in "Huainanzi Ancient Divine Training". The Former ...... The sky tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars shift; The land is not in the southeast, so the water and dust return. In the ancient times of "Huainan Zilan Meditation", the four poles were wasted, the continent was split, the sky was not restored, and the earth was not circumferential. The fire is not extinguished, and the water is vast and unstoppable. Beasts eat the people, and birds grab the old and weak. So Nuwa refined the five-color stone to make up for the sky, and the broken ao was enough to set up the four poles, kill the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulate ashes to stop the pregnancy. The sky is replenished, the four poles are positive, the pregnancy is dry, Jizhou is flat, the cunning worm is dead, and the people's livelihood is gone. And the Great Flood in "The Talmud", in the end, it was the dove that brought the news of new life to the animals on Noah's Ark.

Destruction and rebirth begin with the collapse of heaven and water, and end with the reproduction of all things. As if to hint at the original origin of life, catastrophe and loneliness.

Later generations thought that digging deep into the underground palace was actually the most common way to fight against tomb robbery, but they didn't know that it was actually this kind of cultural meme that was engraved in the genes, becoming a reflection of the life and death of the hybrid with the blood of the ancient gods. When Qin Shi Huang dug his underground palace to no deeper, made the sun and moon under the Qin Mausoleum, and burned with mermaid lamps for a long time, starting from Qin Shi Huang, and later the emperor whether it was a thick burial or a thin burial, most of them were different. The Han and Tang Dynasty mausoleums are not examinable, and the Song Mausoleum is the shape of "sealing the soil into a mausoleum", and the building structure is roughly the same for each one, which is composed of three parts: the upper palace, the lower palace, and the burial queen Ruan. The Upper Shrine is the key area, and the Lower Shrine is 30 meters below the Upper Shrine and is a ground level building. When the ground is broken, the excavation begins on the ground in the shape of "A", and the one that sticks out in front is the slope, that is, a vertical one, which is the tomb road, and the back is the "Imperial Hall". Compared with the Maoling of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Zhaoling of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty Mausoleum is much more economical, but compared with the Southern Song Dynasty Mausoleum, it is quite luxurious. Although the Song Tomb is not as luxurious as the Han and Tang Emperor Tombs, the cost is also huge. For example, the Yongzhao Mausoleum of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong mobilized 46,700 migrant workers, consumed 500,000 taels of silver, 1.5 million yuan of money, and 2.5 million horses of silk, which accounted for half of the annual revenue of the national treasury at that time. The imperial hall, which is commonly referred to as the underground palace, also known as the Xuan Palace, is the place where the coffin is placed, and it is generally dug 20 meters deep into the ground, which is the core part of the mausoleum. In the middle of the top of the emperor is the mausoleum, which is usually the treasure top in the tomb of the Ming and Qing emperors, and is commonly known as the tomb head. The mausoleum platform is made of loess ramming, which is square and covered; It is divided into three layers, and the top layer is widely planted with pines and cypresses. The Yong'an Mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty may be the shallower, according to the so-called volume 122 of the "Song History 61 Fierce Rite Zhi 61 Mountain Tombs", "the depth of the imperial hall is 57 feet, the height is 39 feet, the mausoleum is three layers, square, and the lower layer is 90 long on each side"; The deepest part of the underground palace may be the Yongxi Mausoleum, "the imperial hall is 100 feet deep, the square is 80 feet wide, and the mausoleum is 250 feet square." "Song four feet is about one meter in modern times, Yongxi Mausoleum is 25 meters deep, and Yong'an Mausoleum is nearly 14. 25 meters. The underground palace of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum is very beautiful, and it is indeed the "imperial hall". There is a modern tomb robber who once climbed into the underground palace of Yongxi Mausoleum from the robbery hole. It was found that the underground palace of Yongxi Tomb is made of 14 layers of blue bricks, and the upper and lower sides are painted with memes such as celestial phenomena, pavilions, trees, and people, and the building is very solid. This kind of security treatment, although not as strong as Wu Zetian's Qianling means, is also strict enough. However, Song Ling has obvious defects of theft. For example, the location of the dungeon is too obvious, and even inexperienced tomb robbers can find it to enter the dungeon. The Song Tomb "accumulates soil into a mound", which is not as good as the Zhaoling of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Because the Northern Song Dynasty Mausoleum is not built on a steep mountain, no matter how strong the building is, it is easier to dig than the stone palace, and it is difficult to defeat the tomb robbers, which is a congenital defect. Moreover, the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not build the longevity palace before his death, and only dug holes after he died, and the mausoleum was built in a hurry, and it was easy to leave potential safety hazards.

Judging from the description of the tomb robbers, when the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum was built, it was obvious that more consideration was given to the anti-tomb robbery factor, and the fact is also the same, such as the Song Tomb in the underground palace blockade, it fully considered the factors of heaven and water. In the book "Facts of the Song Dynasty", Song Li revealed the process of the closure of Song Yingzong's underground palace at that time. The thirteenth volume of the book "Yingzong Burial Yonghou Mausoleum" article is introduced as follows, after entering the underground palace and Song Yingzong's final farewell to the royal personnel and ministers all withdrew, they began to light the everlasting lantern in the underground palace. When closing the stone gate of the underground palace, leave a person inside, support the pole in the door, and climb out of the gap in the middle of the stone door. Then, lock the large iron lock on the stone door and throw the key to the underground palace. The minister in charge of sealing the tomb personally restored the soil, inserted a pointed iron rod, and erected a large stone pillar in the center of the gap, and fixed the stone pillar with iron cables. After the stone door of the underground palace was closed, the tomb road leading to the underground palace began to be blocked, all of which were filled with large stones, and finally tamped with soil. Why is the burial of the emperor of the Song Dynasty so urgent after his death, because at that time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty implemented the ancient ritual system of "the seventh month of the Son of Heaven is buried", that is, the emperor must be buried seven months after his death. Just in case!
