Chapter 17: The Golden Dragon Tortoise
The water of the pond poured into the iron gate, a long section of the road, it was dark at the bottom of the deep water, Xiao Lianshan swam in first, I rubbed by the pond for a long time, and my mind kept echoing the words that Gu Anqi said vaguely.
"Don't go in."
My heart is like being scratched by a cat, the person who designed and arranged the cuckoo crying blood bureau must be a master of feng shui, what is the altar below used for, curiosity sometimes has nothing to do with reason, I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath and jumped into the pool.
Swimming through the dark corridor, the top of my head gradually became a little brighter, I swam towards the place where there was light, and when I poked my head out, I just ran out of breath, took a deep breath in the water, wiped the water on my face, and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of me.
The pond and the underground altar are actually parallel, connected by a corridor in the middle, and the corridor layer is U-shaped, so the water in the pond will not flow backwards into the altar, and it covers the entrance very well, it can be said that the design is seamless, no wonder Liu Hao has been digging here for several months and has not found the entrance.
Xiao Lianshan pulled me up from the water, and around the altar hung slender pieces of iron, which were filled with lamp oil, and lit one place, and the whole altar was brightly lit.
I dipped my finger in a little lamp oil and smelled it, it turned out to be corpse oil, and I was very strange, the altar was lit with corpse oil! What a hatred this is. “”
The size of the altar is completely beyond my imagination, and the suburban villa that Yue Thunder has always been proud of is already big enough, more than 300 square meters, but if it is placed here, twenty of them may not be as big as this altar.
The altar layer is rectangular distribution, a stone road directly leads to the main hall, on both sides of the passage is the stone figurines holding knives and arrows, the costumes of the stone figurines should be the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, although the stone figurines have stood here for thousands of years, they are still well preserved and lifelike, the expression is majestic and the form is vivid, standing next to the stone figurines has a kind of illusion of returning to the Ming Dynasty.
After walking through the passage to the courtyard in the middle, there is a huge stone table, carved with a picture, I took the torch in Xiao Lianshan's hand, and looked carefully for a long time, it is the topographic map of the mountains and rivers on this altar, one of the mountains is dyed red, and the topographic map of the mountains and rivers is a star map, I can easily identify this is the astrological map of the Big Dipper, and as I speculated, the mountain behind the altar points to Wuqu Xing, and the mountain dyed red, that is, the current Wangguya is just facing the Ziwei Emperor Star.
There was a line of characters on the carved picture, and I wiped the dust off it, and I saw eight large characters in seal script clearly.
"The cuckoo cries blood, and the country is ruined."
Xiao Lianshan said to me with a happy smile.
"Brother, it's really a cuckoo crying blood, you are so powerful, you can understand it by standing on it and looking at it a few times."
I patted him on the shoulder and smiled, and said lightly, "Actually, I want to know who this unlucky emperor is now." ”
Walking through the main hall from the patio, Xiao Lianshan and I were dumbfounded, in front of us was a general with a sword in one hand and a horizontal finger, and a majestic tiger eye dragon beard sitting on the right hand pillow knee, and the statue was as high as a three-story building, I could only look up.
The stone pillars on both sides are carved with two lines of words.
After death, there is no worry about the lack of brave generals;
The loyal soul still guards Liaodong.
After reading these two lines, I suddenly looked up at the huge statue of the general, and muttered to myself.
"This ...... Is this general ...... Yuan...... Yuan Chonghuan! ”
"Brother, there's a sign here, you can take a look." Xiao Lianshan shouted on the side.
I walked over, and there was a pitch-black sign enshrined under the megalithic statue, the words on which were much blurred due to the age of the year, and only a few were faintly legible.
"Yes...... I can't read this word clearly, Yuan ...... Jun, I still can't see clearly, yes, the spirit ......, and the one behind my brother can't see clearly. Xiao Lianshan buried his head and looked at it for a long time before he could easily recognize a few words.
"There is the spiritual seat of General Yuan!" I was shocked and involuntarily took a step back, this is really the statue of Yuan Chonghuan, this altar, the worship is General Yuan Chonghuan.
Looking at this altar again, thinking about the feng shui pattern outside, I suddenly smiled, I wanted to know who this emperor who was tortured, who had such a big resentment, and would rather the country be ruined than the emperor's life.
It turned out to be Chongzhen!
The birth date of the emperors and generals of the past dynasties, anyone who learns numerology and physiognomy is familiar with it, I pinch it with my left hand for a moment and smile faintly, what a powerful cuckoo crying blood, Chongzhen can obviously survive for seven or eight years, but Wuqu broke Ziwei, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Dolgon is Wuqu Xing is directly approaching the Forbidden City, the greedy wolf is like the palace, Li Zicheng is the greedy wolf star, captured the capital and forced Chongzhen to death. ”
"Yuan Chonghuan! Brother, Yuan Chonghuan is a big hero, but he died too unjustly, when he was a child, I heard the old man at the entrance of the village say that Yuan Chonghuan was misbelieved and slandered by the emperor Lao'er, and he was executed by a thousand knives. ”
Xiao Lianshan has always respected heroes, and when he heard me say that the boulder statue in front of him was Yuan Chonghuan, he knelt in front of the stone statue without thinking about it, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
I remembered Gu Anqi's advice not to come in again, and Huang Ye did everything possible to dig up the books I was looking for, and looked up at Yuan Chonghuan's statue with a frown, and my heart gradually sank, could it be ...... Is that rumor true? Does that book really exist?!
"Brother, you said that this emperor is an old man, there is no distinction between loyalty and treachery, if you don't kill Yuan Chonghuan by mistake, maybe the Qing army won't be able to get in." Xiao Lianshan didn't notice the surprised expression on my face.
"How many people are idiots who can be emperors, no matter how stupid Chongzhen is, he is not stupid enough to kill the talented Yuan Chonghuan because of a few rumors......."
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the emperor Lao'er killed General Yuan for other reasons? ”
I smiled faintly and lowered my voice and whispered to him that when I went back, I told him a rumor, which has been passed down in Taoism for more than a thousand years, and I don't know if it is true.
Xiao Lianshan looked around, the main hall was solemn and quiet, except for the huge stone statues and spirit tablets and some rotten and dried offerings, there was nothing else.
"Brother, there's nothing in here, and I don't know what the use of Brother Ting digging in so hard."
"This is an altar, not an ancient tomb, of course there is nothing that Brother Ting wants, let's look carefully separately to see if there are any books." I say.
Xiao Lianshan nodded, looked around Yuan Chonghuan's statue seriously, and found nothing, and suddenly touched the stone statue and said with a smile.
"Brother, don't say it, feng shui numerology is really evil, put down this cuckoo crying blood, according to the above text, the cuckoo cries blood, the country is broken, the emperor not only did not keep the country, but also cut himself off from the coal mountain."
"The cuckoo weeping blood is a feng shui bureau that changes from the seven bureaus of the Qimen Dunjia and the Shangyuan Autumn Wind and Yin, and this bureau is extremely difficult to arrange, so it is necessary to have a coordinated terrain and ...... at the same time."
I stopped in the middle of my speech, Xiao Lianshan heard that I had no sound, and walked out from behind the statue, I stood parallel to the statue, looked back at the statue from time to time, and then adjusted my position, following the appearance of Yuan Chonghuan's statue, holding a hand, which happened to be in the same direction as the sword Yuan Chonghuan was holding.
Xiao Lianshan walked over and stood behind me, and from this angle, my hand was pointing to a stone wall.
"As soon as I came in, I felt that this statue was strange, the altar should be dedicated to Yuan Chonghuan, it should be peaceful and solemn, how could there be blades and these murder weapons in hand." I said with a smile.
Xiao Lianshan walked to the front of the stone wall, which was a decorative stone statue, with nine irregularly arranged dots, connected together in a straight line, shaped like a spoon, and a stone dragon coiled around the spoon with teeth and claws.
"Brother, this spoon...... I don't think this spoon looks familiar. ”
"Hehe, this is the Big Dipper, of course you look familiar."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's the Big Dipper, I'll just say where I've seen it, brother, what does this dragon plate mean on it?"
"This is called the dragon entwined with the seven stars, which means that the stars in the sky assist the emperor to achieve hegemony."
Xiao Lianshan nodded, thought about it and frowned.
"Brother, it's not right, you said that this is the altar to revitalize the cuckoo's crying blood, this is to want the life of the emperor, how can there be a stone carving with a dragon wrapped around the seven stars?"
I also reacted when I heard it, the dragon wrapped around the seven stars is an auspicious omen for the emperor, meaning that the flying dragon is in the sky, all things are sincere, here is Yuan Chonghuan's altar, there will be no stone carvings for Chongzhen's blessing, and then carefully look at the pattern on it.
The stone dragon was entangled in the seven stars and roared for nine days, and the dragon's head was facing east just against the Ziwei Emperor Star.
I also wondered, the dragon entwined with the seven stars means that there is a purple qi coming ......from the east, thinking of this, I suddenly realized, the purple qi comes from the east, but this is not the east!
Xiao Lianshan was startled when he looked at my chattering appearance, and asked me what was not Dong.
"The dragon dragon head of the Seven Stars is going to the east, because the purple qi from the east just blesses the Ziwei Emperor Star, and the dragon head of the Dragon Entwined Seven Stars is like the west, and the direction is reversed!"
After I finished speaking, I put my hand on the faucet and moved it gently, the faucet was really moving, I forcefully turned the faucet to the east side, and suddenly the main hall shook the mountain, and the stone slab in front of the boulder statue slowly separated, and a disc rose.
"Brother, there's something!" Xiao Lianshan said excitedly.
I was also a little excited, cautiously walked over, in the middle of the disc is a dragon turtle, the size of a palm, the dragon's head roars the sky, the turtle body is four-legged on the ground, lifelike, the whole body is golden under the firelight reflection, at a glance you know that it is made of pure gold.
Next to the tortoise was something wrapped in oiled paper, which I carefully opened, and when I turned over the last layer of oiled paper, I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise.
An intact yellowed ancient book lay quietly in the oiled paper.
Luo Xuan's Divine Strategy!
I never dreamed that there really would be this book in the world.
