Chapter 20: A Confusing Clearing
I froze in place, my brows furrowed slightly, Sanqiu Mobao should be in Qianling, but Qingyang let Qiu Nuo copy it since he was a child, and what is even more unbelievable is that even Wu Zetian's beloved thing is a collection of vertical arches, and Qiu Nuo can write it, and even she doesn't know it, from this point of view, Li Zhao didn't plan to tell her at all.
Yue Qianling studied archaeology, and of course she knew how heavy the weight of the vertical arch collection was, but from all the current information, this collection was the most likely to be in Qianling.
"The contents of the vertical arch collection are not recorded in half a word in the historical documents." Yue Qianling looked at me and asked. "Then how did you know that Qiu Nuo wrote a collection of vertical arches?"
"Because no one knows, even Qiunuo doesn't know what he copied from childhood to adulthood." I took a deep breath and said lightly. "The funeral book is also a strange book in the world, the only one, fortunately I have read it, there is a very short record of the vertical arch set on it, so I was surprised."
"Then it's even more strange, Qiu Nuo said that she copied the literary history of the Tang Dynasty copied by Aunt Li, so how could Aunt Li have a vertical arch collection?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.
I suddenly remembered what Li Zhao said casually that night, and grabbed Xiao Lianshan with a panicked expression.
"You drive me to Qianling! Right away! ”
After I finished speaking, I rushed out in a hurry, almost knocking Gu Anqi who came in to the ground.
Xiao Lianshan parked the car under the Qianling, and I jumped down before the car stopped, trotting all the way to the front of the wordless monument, panting with my hands on my hips.
Xiao Lianshan was so anxious to see me, and followed me every step of the way for fear that something would happen.
"Brother, it's good for you to run here......"
I raised my hand and motioned for Xiao Lianshan not to speak, I needed to think quietly.
Qing Yang told me that it is not difficult to enter the Qianling Tomb, as long as you understand the meaning of the wordless tablet, I came here that day, and after thinking about it for a day, I didn't understand what the significance of Wu Zetian erected a wordless tablet.
And Li Zhao reminded me that instead of thinking about the meaning of the wordless monument, it is better to think about who the wordless monument is erected for, but I still can't understand Li Zhao's intention when he says this.
But now that I put everything together and think about it, I came up with an answer that even he couldn't believe.
I took a deep breath, looked at the wordless monument and said lightly.
"Who does Wu Zetian want to show this monument to?"
Xiao Lianshan, who was next to him, heard what I said, and replied without thinking about it.
"Brother, this still needs to be asked, of course Wu Zetian erected a monument for future generations to see, can't she still see it for herself, people who have been dead for thousands of years, and you still expect her to crawl out of the Qianling Tomb every night?"
I shook my head at first and smiled bitterly, but soon the smile froze on my face, and I said in panic as the corners of my mouth quirmed.
"Could it be...... She...... She really stood up for herself! ”
Xiao Lianshan looked at me seriously and patted me on the shoulder.
"I'll just talk nonsense, you take it seriously."
I rubbed my tired face and looked back with a strange expression.
"Lianshan, you go back first, I still have something to do."
"I'll go with you."
"No need!"
Xiao Lianshan knew that what I decided would not change, and after driving him back to Jingzhao, he went back alone, I walked for a long time with a heavy heart, the sky was getting late, the snowflakes falling in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and when I walked to Qingyang's house, it was already night.
Qingyang, who opened the door, saw me standing alone at the door, and asked in surprise.
"Yanhui, why are you alone at such a late hour?"
"Aunt Qing, I should know the meaning of the wordless tablet."
Qing Yang was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and smiled faintly.
"Now that you have understood the meaning of the wordless tablet, then go to the Buddha Hall to find your Aunt Li, she has been waiting for you, saying that if you understand it, you will definitely come."
I nodded, and when I walked to the Buddhist hall, I found that Qingyang behind me did not follow, I stood at the door uncertainly, and stood silently for a long time before I mustered up the courage to push open the door of the Buddhist hall.
Li Zhao sat in front of the Buddha shrine, the Buddhist beads in his hand were rhythmically moving, and there was no surprised expression on his face when he saw me coming in, and he didn't even move.
"I just came, your Aunt Qing just made me a pot of tea, and the snow night alone disappointed your Aunt Qing's good intentions, and you just happened to accompany me."
I sat across from Li Zhao, looking a little nervous.
"Aunt Li, I already know the meaning of the wordless tablet."
Li Zhao took a sip and his face did not change much, and he said casually.
"Oh, I thought of it so quickly, I also told your Aunt Qing that you Yanhui is a smart person, and it won't take much time to understand the meaning of the wordless tablet, but I didn't expect you to be so fast."
"But...... But I ...... I don't know if I'm thinking the answer is right. "I don't have much confidence to say it.
"You have always been a very confident person, why did you ...... today" Li Zhao calmly poured me a cup of tea and said with a faint smile. This tea is called Lushan Yuwu, it is the best green tea, you can taste it, and then tell me what you think. ”
After drinking the tea, I felt a lot calmer, and I took a deep breath and said.
"I met Qiu Nuo in Rongcheng, for a girl as old as her, her understanding of Tang Dynasty culture is completely beyond many experts who have devoted their lives to research, I didn't care at that time, there are people outside the world, I am all talented Qiu Nuo."
"Hehe, it's good that Nuo'er is not here, if she hears that someone has such a high evaluation of her, I don't know how happy she would be." Li Zhao smiled disapprecrisingly. "Nuo'er's achievements today are all due to her Aunt Qing's achievements, she has been with Qingyang since she was a child, and she has heard and seen Qingyang's words and deeds, Nuo'er is still quite accomplished."
"Then I met Aunt Qing for the first time in Rongcheng, and I was really shocked by the whole Agarwood Pavilion North, and after meeting Aunt Qing, I began to understand why Qiu Nuo was so fond of Tang Dynasty history, because she also had an aunt next to her who was even more obsessed with the Tang Dynasty."
"You're only half right." Li Zhao smiled faintly and said casually pouring tea. "Qiu Nuo is a longing for the Tang culture, she lives in fantasy, but Qingyang is a reverence for the history of the Tang Dynasty, she lives in memory!"
I nodded silently, the corners of my mouth slightly upturned, and muttered to myself.
"Yes, I'm afraid that only a person who lives in memories can build a house like Agarwood Pavilion North."
"You go on."
"Later, I saw Aunt Qing in the basement of the north of the Agarwood Pavilion, and any thing in it was a rare treasure, but what made me strange was that these priceless things were placed very casually." I said calmly with my teacup. "At the time, I thought that Aunt Qing was rich and wealthy, and it was not surprising that even it was a treasure, but now that I think about it, I was actually wrong."
"What do you think now?"
"Aunt Qing doesn't care because these things are not treasures to her!"
"Hehe, go on."
"Aunt Qing handed me another Luo Xuan Shen Ce, I combined the two Luo Xuan Shen Ces into one, and got an unmarked map, and at the same time, Aunt Qing showed me a painting that Wu Daozi did not record, which was about some things about the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision." I said with a heavy face. "Wu Zetian once had the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel, as a generation of emperors, she should know the importance of this book better than anyone else, so I believe that very few people know about this matter, even if there is, Wu Zetian's character should not leave a living mouth."
"So you were curious at the time, why Qingyang has these things." Li Zhao moved the Buddhist beads in his hand and said lightly.
"Aunt Qing seems to know a lot about the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision is the supreme secret treasure of metaphysics, and there are very few people who know it, I also saw a few words in the ancient books, but Aunt Qing is a businessman, but I was really curious at that time." I nodded and said calmly. "And Aunt Qing has repeatedly emphasized that the existence of the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision is extremely harmful, it can be seen that she knows the secret of this book, but Aunt Qing doesn't want to get this book at all."
Li Zhao didn't interrupt me, just quietly brought me tea, waiting for me to continue.
"Later, Aunt Li, you also know, you asked Aunt Qing to take out the Buddha's true body relics, so that we had the opportunity to enter the underground palace, at that time, because I was anxious to find the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, I didn't think much about it, these days quieted down, I realized a problem, how can you have the Buddha's true body relics?"
"The Buddha's true body relics were obtained by me by coincidence, what, what do you not understand."
"The Buddha's true body relics are the supreme sacred relics of Buddhism, each of which has been inherited in an orderly manner, and there are only four in total that have been introduced into Middle-earth, and now only three of them are preserved in China, and the other has disappeared in an unknown way."
"Yanhui, do you mean to say that the relic I gave you is the one that has disappeared?"
"I didn't think about it that way at first, but then I realized that there was a coincidence between the two."
"What coincidence?"
"In the fourth year of Chang'an, Wu Zetian ordered the Fengge squire Cui Xuanwei and Fazang and Gang lawyers to welcome the Buddha's finger relics into the palace to make offerings, however, in the second year of Wu Zetian's devout worship of the Buddha's true body relics, Wu Zetian's dragon returned to heaven, but the Buddha's bones were still offered in Luoyang Mingtang and had not been returned, and then this relic disappeared!" I looked up at Li Zhao. "It is also related to the Tang Dynasty, Aunt Qing collected so many Tang Dynasty cultural relics, and it is not surprising that there is one more relic."
