Wuxia Coffin Mountain Chapter 37 Watching the Mountain and Stealing Bones

Professor Sun said that in order to find out what the secret of the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village" is, we must first know the origin of the "Guanshan Taibao", this group of "Guanshan Tomb Robbers" has a deep relationship with Liu Bowen, a strange man in the Ming Dynasty who passed down the "Song of Baked Cakes".

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, in order to resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, peasant uprisings swarmed up in various places, as the saying goes, "the troubled times will surprise people", which is really true.

At that time, Zhu Hongwu Longxing "Daming", drove the Hu people back to Mobei, one day in the Jinluan Palace to burn cakes as an "image", asked Liu Bowen to calculate the rise and fall of the world in the future, but the sky is difficult to say, so Liu Bowen immediately made a "baked cake song", according to the hexagram lyrics, the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty after the success or failure, are hidden in this song.

This is a more common folk saying, not included in the official history, in fact, Liu Bowen did perform hexagrams for Zhu Yuanzhang, but things are not like those wild history legends.

When Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet "faced the south and turned his back on the north", Liu Bowen felt that this master was the "true dragon son of heaven", and there would be a "Ninety-Five Honor" in the future, so he threw himself into his account to serve.

One day, Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight with the Yuan soldiers, and the army could not receive food and grass, so he fell into a bitter battle.

Liu Bowen said to Zhu Yuanzhang that although our army is in a difficult situation at present, it is only because the time has not yet come, and when the time comes, our lord will definitely be able to achieve a great cause.

Zhu Yuanzhang faintly heard something in Liu Bowen's words, which seemed to imply that he could be the "emperor" in the future, and then asked, and sure enough, he said: "Back then, King Wen of Zhou invited Jiang Ziya out of the mountain, and personally dragged Jiang Ziya 800 orders and eight steps by the river. As a result, the Zhou Dynasty enjoyed the world for 800 years and eight years. If it is really as the military advisor said, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, can have the blessing of founding the country and setting the foundation in this life, and I dare not dare to hope that the country will be kept forever, nor dare I dare to be more than a holy monarch like King Wen of Zhou, and I will be very content to have 400 years of national fortune. After that, I asked Liu Bowen to calculate the hexagram and see how many years Zhu Jialongxing's luck can be.

Liu Bowen saw that there were exactly a few baked cakes in the account, so he immediately took this as a "machine number" and obtained a "hexagram." But in the end, the result was secretly unwilling to say it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that the success or failure of the world is the will of God, but it is okay to talk about it, there is nothing to taboo. Liu Bowen said that according to this hexagram, although the Hu people will be defeated, but the number of northern dragons will not decline, and in the future, there will be a piece of the world of the Hu people, and I am afraid that the fortune of our lord will not reach 400 years, or even 300 years.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this. He is not worried about the length of the country's fortunes, what is he worried about? Mainly in these years of southern and northern wars, I have seen many stolen and destroyed graves and mounds, especially near the tombs of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, now there are only a few huge earth pits left, which are overgrown with weeds, and there are many foxes and ghosts.

After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, these imperial tombs were stolen by the Hu people, and the corpses of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were also ravaged, all of which were mixed with the bones of cattle, horses, pigs and dogs, and buried under the "Zhennan Tower". Now it is a desolate and empty land, where the souls of the kings of the past are buried", the bleakness of its scene is enough to make those who see it sigh and those who hear it sad.

Zhu Yuanzhang said, if the Hu people in the north can still occupy the world in a few hundred years, even if I really become the "emperor, I can't be happy, what's the matter?" There are no immortal people in this world, and now I can really drive Hu Lu back to Mobei, recover the rivers and mountains of the Han family, and establish such a meritorious deed, but there is never an immortal elixir in the world, there is life and death, there is a beginning and an end, and the "true son of heaven" may not escape the dragon and return to heaven and earth one day.

After the death of the Son of Heaven, he will naturally be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but what is the fate of the imperial mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty? Not all of them are flat by the Hu people, I became the emperor, when I was in power, there was a "Wenchen military general" to protect me, and I was buried in the tomb after death, even if a large army was arranged in the mausoleum area to guard the mausoleum, but sooner or later there will be a day to break the mountains and rivers, and the change of dynasty is more than the fixed number of the heavenly cycle, I can't care, the most fatal thing is that I will die in the hands of the Hu people in the future, we are now leveling the Hulu, once his descendants gain power, they must take revenge on today's hatred, then I and my descendants are hidden in the imperial mausoleum...... Haven't they all had to be whipped and burned by the traitors?

Thinking of the desolate scene of the royal mausoleum of the Song Dynasty, and then thinking about his future fate, I can't help but feel cold, even if I am in front of the "emperor", what is the taste? Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Liu Bowen was proficient in Nanlong Feng Shui, so he asked him if there was any way in the world to make the "Imperial Tomb" never be robbed and destroyed by the Hu people?

Liu Bowen said that you are thinking too long-term, now what you have to think about is how to seize the world, and it is not too late to plan for the affairs of the imperial tomb when the great cause has been decided.

Because the war was imminent at that time, this matter was over, after talking a few words, it was over, and there was no chance to mention it again in the southern and northern wars in the future, until Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the Dragon Court as the emperor of the great tomorrow, according to ancient examples, the emperor of each dynasty ascended the throne and became the emperor before doing anything else, and immediately began to prepare for his own imperial mausoleum, from the selection of dragon veins to the scale and layout of the mausoleum, there is no sloppiness in the slightest, it is a major event of the first class of the country.

Emperor Hongwu summoned Liu Bowen and talked about the previous incident, the responsibility of building the imperial mausoleum must be planned and presided over by Liu Bowen, and the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty must not be stolen by the Hu people.

Liu Bowen made an empty wish back then, but when it came to the end, he felt that he had no roots in his heart, and suddenly frowned, and he thought about it, first ask the emperor to be tolerant for ten days, and there will be a good plan after ten days.

Emperor Hongwu waited patiently for ten days, and sure enough, after ten days, Liu Bowen came to the palace, performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and took out a picture: "The matter of building the tomb of the Ming Emperor must come from this picture." ”

Emperor Hongwu thought it was a genuine "Feng Shui Mausoleum", and immediately called the waiter to get the money to drive the royal view, who knew that the scroll was flipped through, and he was greatly surprised, the emperor couldn't understand the meaning of this painting at all, so he opened the golden mouth and asked the jade: "Liu Aiqing, what are you painting in this picture...... But what kind of fame? ”

Liu Bowen played: "Your Majesty, building a royal mausoleum is not trivial, the ministers are shallow in learning, I am afraid that there will be negative hopes, if there is a little bit of difference, there is no redemption for death."

Subsequently, Liu Bowen for the Hongwu Emperor to raise a "strange man", this person has a strange art, knows the world, enough to take on the construction of the "imperial tomb" of the heavy task, but he is a hidden person in the deep mountains, afraid that he will find an interface to prevaricate, so he dedicated a scroll, and so he will be invited to the palace, first make it clear, and then whether he agrees or not, as long as he shows him the scroll picture, he will not dare to shirk again.

Emperor Hongwu was suspicious, so he immediately sent someone to invite Liu Bowen's "master", this person's name is "Fengwangli", he was a outsider who smelted lead and mercury in the land of Bashu, and often did some inverted deeds, especially like to search for some antiquities such as "Dansha different books".

Feng Wang Li was invited to the Golden Palace, learned that he was going to build the "Imperial Tomb", since ancient times there is a way to "accompany the king like a tiger", this is a very easy thing to lose his head, how can he agree, busy lying that he does not understand the "burial system" and "looking for the dragon" way, want to shirk this "imperial difference".

Emperor Hongwu saw that Liu Bowen did not expect, so he asked people to take out the picture and show it to Feng Wangli in person. ”

It turns out that Liu Bowen's painting, the painting is a group of steep cliffs, hanging coffins on the wall, hiding a lot of "hanging coffins", there are several tomb robbers in the painting, one of the thieves, holding the coffin lid with loose skin and thick scales is moving hard, obviously just uncovering the coffin lid, another thief climbed on the dangerous steep wall, took a rope to put in the coffin in the neck of the ancient corpse, dragged the body of the old man in the coffin and sat up, and two tomb robbers squatted next to the coffin, and took out a piece of "bone armor" from the coffin, the bone armor was full of "star maps" and " Snail Ancient Seal".

There is a line of words next to the painting "", Feng Wangli looked at this picture and was shocked, the original tomb robbery scene painted in the painting was done by his ancestors.

"Feng Clan" is a very famous local wealthy family, and their ancestors have lived in Wushan Coffin Gorge for generations. The terrain in the gorge is treacherously peeled off, and there are countless "hanging coffins" hidden, and the ancestors of the Feng family have stolen many "heavenly books" in the "coffin gorge", so as to make a fortune, learn a lot of long-lost witchcraft, and then obsessed with the "art of fire".

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was passed to the generation of Feng Wangli, who called himself "Coffin Mountain Taibao", relying on his proficiency in the "Coffin Mountain Finger Puzzle Technique", secretly excavating the ancient mound mountain mausoleum in various places, in fact, the Feng family has money, and the motive of his generation to rob the tomb is mainly for those ancient scrolls and ancient books hidden in the tomb. At this time, he had no choice but to design the imperial mausoleum according to the requirements of Emperor Hongwu.

Liu Bowen had already had the idea of retreating in the court at that time, but in the matter of building the imperial mausoleum, he was forced by the emperor to get out, remembering that there is such a group of "Coffin Mountain Taibao" in the world, who are most proficient in the art of mausoleum and Dunjia, so he pushed this "imperial mission" to their heads, and he still had some affection, only called the picture scroll "watching the mountain and robbing the bones", and did not say that it was actually "the coffin mountain robbing the tomb".

Feng specializes in strange arts, the means of acting are unpredictable, and from the bone armor to master a lot of feng shui secret arts, the Suzuki structure and site selection have uniqueness, so that the Hongwu Emperor is very satisfied, the emperor gave Feng Wang Li and several of his disciples pure gold waist card, henceforth called "Guanshan Taibao", stay in front of the palace to listen to use, full-time for the royal construction of mausoleums.

Emperor Hongwu was born at the bottom of the society, so he has a lot of understanding of folk customs, and he asked the king to give a ceremony, even if the imperial tomb can not be robbed by the Hu people, but it may not be completely worry-free, because we Han people are not vegetarians, I heard that since ancient times, there is a "hair mound touching gold" thing in the world, if these people start the idea of the Ming Emperor's mausoleum, but what can they do?

Feng Wangli said that the minister of a folk fighting generation, there are really means to steal the emperor's tomb is not only "hair hill touch gold", but also "moving mountains and unloading mountains", "moving mountain people" are good at the art of life restraint, their whereabouts are hidden and difficult to find, for many years they have rarely communicated with outsiders, but what they do is only to seek "Danzhu", as long as the imperial tomb does not place the "golden Danzhu Ding" thing, the mountain movers will never fight the idea of stealing the imperial tomb, but it is not a matter of concern, and the group of thieves in the mountain is mostly "horse thieves", their generations gather and disperse, and they want to dig the mountain tomb giant mound, It is the most difficult to prevent, and there is often a intention to rebel, so it is the best policy to send the officials of the brigade to exterminate it, completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and cut off the incense on this mountain.

In addition, there are "Faqiu touching gold" disciples, it is really a vein, the most proficient in feng shui to find the dragon, the leader of touching the gold is "Faqiu Tianguan", this thief with the seal of the Han Dynasty, cast "Heavenly official blessing, no taboo" eight characters, looking for the dragon to fight everything, but they attach great importance to the rules handed down by the ancestors, there is no "Faqiu seal" and "touch the gold talisman", they are not willing to do the "inverted fight" work, so if you want to deal with them, you should first destroy the "rune seal" token of the hair hill touching the gold, so that the art of touching the gold does not exist in the world, you can do it once and for all, Never again.

The emperor saw that there was such a clever strategy, and immediately the dragon face was happy, and then Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order, the Ming Dynasty, all over the country to strictly investigate the "inverted fighting cave tomb" of the disciples, but the traces of "hair mound touch gold, move mountains and unload mountains" spread all over the world, the court did not have a very good way to take them, until the "Yongle" years to find an opportunity to destroy the "Faqiu seal" and seven "touch the gold talisman", but there are still three ancient talismans left in the world The whereabouts are unknown, and the "unloading of the mountain ringing horse" has also been repeatedly suppressed, but these measures still have some effect, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, The tomb robbery did disappear for a time.

"Guanshan Taibao" has been reused by the imperial court, following the royal family from Nanjing to Beijing, has always been in the ban to listen to the errand, because the "Imperial Mausoleum" is highly confidential, so it never dared to publicize to the outside world, until the "Wanli" years, the leader of the "Guanshan Taibao" is the ancient immortal seal. This person really has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and is more fascinated by the things of feng shui and astrology, he saw that the ancestors built the Ming Emperor's mausoleum when "a hundred dense and one sparse", ignoring the relocation of Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb, watching the sky at night, seeing that the dragon spirit here will be extinct, he wrote to the court to move the ancestral tomb, but when the emperor was mediocre, everything in the country was sparse, and he did not pay attention to the words of Feng Shigu.
