Chapter Ninety-Four: The True Dragon's Lair

I deduce from the time that the Leshan Giant Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the clues left in the Tianshi Cave of Qingcheng Mountain are clearly from the Ming Dynasty, and the age span of the two clues is so large, it is difficult for me to connect the two together.

Yue Qianling has participated in many archaeological sites, but they are all discovered by man and then excavated and investigated, and it is really the first time that a discovery like today, which has been groped out little by little according to clues, so she danced excitedly.

Leshan Giant Buddha is not far from Rongcheng, after leaving Qingcheng Mountain, I rushed over with them overnight, standing at the foot of Leshan Giant Buddha when it was already early in the morning, Yue Qianling specially rented a fishing boat, looking at Leshan Giant Buddha has a different scenery near the river.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is located on the side of Lingyun Temple on the east bank of the Minjiang River, near the confluence of the three rivers of Dadu River, Tsing Yi River and Min River.

The big Buddha was excavated in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, completed in the 19th year of Zhenyuan, lasted about 90 years, on the cliffs and the mountaineering road on both sides of the big Buddha, there are many stone niches to make statues, most of them are works of the Tang Dynasty, on the Lingyun Temple right Lingbao Peak, there is an existing brick tower, the tower is 13 layers high, the shape is similar to the small wild goose pagoda, a lonely peak in the left river of the temple is Zhuoli, the name is Wuyou, that is, the Qin chiseled Leshan from the pile, there is the Tang Dynasty to create the Wuyou Temple.

This information was said by Yue Qianling like a few treasures, if it is a tour, it is really good to have a person who studies archaeology as a tour guide by his side, but these do not arouse my interest at all.

The clue points to the Leshan Giant Buddha, but this Buddha is a mountain, the mountain is a Buddha, this clue is inevitably too general, Qingcheng Mountain has a picture of the western Sichuan Tiancang map, and now I look up at the majestic Buddha across the river at a loss.

"The Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the clues we found were left in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is reasonable to think about it, this Buddha is magnificent, even if the dynasty changes, the kings of the past dynasties have treated the Buddha with courtesy, and will never destroy a Buddha, so it is easy to save the clues left on the Buddha." Qiunuo said calmly.

"Probably not!" Yue Qianling said in the affirmative without thinking about it. "The rocks on both sides of the Buddha are red sandstone, which is a loose texture and easy to weather, and in the long years of nearly 1,300 years, it has been subjected to natural wind and rain erosion and man-made damage, so that the Buddha's body is full of holes and is unrecognizable."

I nodded in agreement.

"Judging from the current Buddha, it is obvious that it has been artificially repaired, if the clues of the Ming Fourteen Tombs are really on the Buddha, I am afraid that it has been destroyed long ago, and the Ming Fourteen Tombs are so important, it is not too child's play to really leave the clues in a place where there is an endless stream of tourists every day."

"The clues that can be obtained from the Heavenly Master Cave refer to here, such a big mountain, if you really have to investigate it carefully up and down, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to say the least." Qiunuo said with some disappointment.

"A year or two......." I smiled helplessly. "Looking for it without a clue, don't say a year or two, if you don't make it, you will spend your whole life with this big Buddha."

The sunrise in the early morning slowly rises from the east, through the thin morning mist like smoke, the whole Buddha statue is plated with a layer of gold, a halo of light surrounds the Buddha, and the Buddha reflected in the river is as majestic as the Buddha's light.

I was stunned, and quickly looked up and looked around again, and the brow that was still tight just now slowly relaxed.

"Did you find anything?" Qiunuo asked curiously when he saw my expression.

"Why was this Buddha built?" I didn't answer the question of my own words.

"I know this, according to the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty and other books, the initiator of the Buddha excavation is the Haitong monk, knotted in the Lingyun Mountain, the place where the three rivers converge in ancient times, the Minjiang River, the Qingyi River, the Dadu River three rivers converge at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, the water potential is quite fierce, whenever the summer floods, the river water smashes the mountain wall, often causes the tragedy of the ship wrecked and the death of people, the Haitong monk saw this and was determined to dig the Maitreya Buddha statue by the cliff, and wanted to rely on the boundless mana, reduce the water potential, and Yongzhen Fengtao." Yue Qianling said.

"It's a kind of sustenance, and the purpose is to control the water." Qiunuo also nodded and said.

I looked around the Buddha attentively, and after being silent for a long time, I suddenly shook my head meaningfully and said.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as controlling the water!"

"That'...... Why is that? Qiu Nuo and Yue Qianling asked almost in unison.

"Qianling, you just said that here the Minjiang River, Qingyi River, Dadu River three rivers converge Lingyun Mountain, feng shui water main wealth, where the three rivers converge must be a place of prosperity, and this Lingyun Mountain mountain from west to east, Qixia Peak arrogantly refers to the sky, there is a dragon proud of the nine heavens, and the following three rivers converge, the intention is to rise and fall, the dragon steps on the wind and clouds straight into the nine skies, and the mountains are endless, the three rivers are endless, this ...... It's a dragon vein! I was pleasantly surprised.

"Dragon Vein?!" Yue Qianling looked at me dumbfounded, thought about it, and said. "Yes...... I've never heard of an emperor here? ”

I looked up at the Buddha opposite and smiled faintly.

"Of course you can't get out of the emperor, with this big Buddha, how can this dragon fly to the nine heavens!"

"What do you mean, this big Buddha is not used to control water, but to suppress the dragon veins!" Qiuno seemed to understand something.

I nodded, smiling meaningfully.

"The Big Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, the location chosen is just in Qixia Peak, that is, the dragon's head, the Buddha sits on the dragon's head, the dragon can't raise its head at all, let alone soar, every day the sunrise sun shines from behind the Buddha, as if the Buddha's light shines, the Buddha's eyes are slightly closed, the night looks directly at the river and sleepless, day and night are guarding this dragon vein, the Buddha does not fall down the dragon vein can never go straight to the nine days!"

"No, the big Buddha recorded in the history books was built spontaneously by the people, since this is the dragon vein, why should you use a big Buddha to suppress it?" Yue Qianling asked suspiciously.

"Do you really think that this big Buddha was built spontaneously by the people?" I asked with a meaningful smile.

"The dragon vein comes out of the Son of Heaven, the Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin has ruled the world, since there is already a Son of Heaven......" Qiu Nuo suddenly realized and raised his head and said in shock. This big Buddha was built by the king Li Shimin at that time, and he was the person who benefited the most from suppressing the dragon vein! ”

"To be able to arrange such an exquisite and huge feng shui bureau, in addition to the fact that a generation of emperors has such financial and human resources, I really can't think of a second person, not to mention don't forget, Li Shimin has Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang by his side, two metaphysical masters, if you guess correctly, this Buddha is most likely the masterpiece of the two predecessors!" I took a deep breath and laughed.

After listening to what I said, Yue Qianling said in a blink of an eye.

"Since Li Shimin was already the Son of Heaven at that time, and a dragon vein appeared for no reason, and the whole world was his, why not simply destroy this dragon vein, save worry and trouble, why bother so much, and carve out a big Buddha on this mountain?"

"Destroying the dragon vein is a matter of damaging yin morality, of course, if it endangers the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin will do it without you teaching him, but unfortunately this dragon vein is born of the wonder horse, it is estimated that Li Shimin did not want to destroy it at that time, but did not dare to destroy it at all!" I replied with a smile.

"Why is that?" Qiuno asked.

"This has to start with the Li family's noble feng shui." I sat down on the edge of the boat and spoke slowly. "Tracing the family dragon vein of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have to mention Longxi, the Li family is a Longxi noble, from the famous flying general Li Guang when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went down in history, to Li Yuan's eighth ancestor Li Hui, the Li family has lived in the Longxi area for generations."

"This dragon vein can't be connected to the Li family's feng shui eight poles, why are you so far away?" Yue Qianling asked impatiently.

Qiu Nuo smiled lightly and said calmly.

"Speaking of feng shui metaphysics, who is more proficient than Brother Yan Hui, since we start from the feng shui of the Li family, there must be his intentions, let's listen to him quietly."

"Longxi is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, located in the Hexi Corridor, Weishui flows through the whole territory, west of Lanzhou, east of the ancient capital of Chang'an, this area connects the Central Plains and the Western Regions together, the land of Longxi, the gas, the potential are occupied, there is the spirit of the dragon and tiger, the Li family is nourished by this prosperous land, and the dragon gas is gradually revealed." I said it without hurrying.

"It is no wonder that the Li family occupies such a good feng shui treasure land, and the later Zhenguan rule must also be brought about by this feng shui pattern." Qiunuo nodded and said.

"The feng shui occupied by the Li family is indeed good, but it is a fly in the ointment, presumably Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang also saw the clue later."

"It's not good, they're all emperors, what's so bad?" Yue Qianling asked with a pout.

"The mountain is the potential of the dragon, and the water is the blood of the dragon, therefore, the dragon vein is inseparable from the mountain and the water.

"Mountains and rivers hug ......," Qiunuo said excitedly when he suddenly thought of something. Lack of water! ”

I nodded, confidently.

"Qiuno is right! This dragon vein is short of water, so later the Li family got the country and built the capital Chang'an, which was not a random decision, it was this water that was valued! ”

"Eight rivers around Chang'an!" Qiuno blurted out. "Eight rivers refer to the eight rivers of Wei, Jing, Feng, Shui, Wei, Zhu, Chan and Ba, which flow around Chang'an City, all belong to the Yellow River water system, among the eight waters, the Wei River flows into the Yellow River, and the other seven rivers flow directly into the Wei River."

"The Li family has consolidated the foundation of the country with the help of these eight waters......" Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Yue Qianling.

"Wait a minute, what does this Li family have to do with this big Buddha borrowing eight waters?"

"Jiang Da or Heda?" I asked rhetorically.

"Jianghe, Jianghe, of course Jiangda!" Yue Qianling replied disappreciatively.

"The Li family's feng shui dragon vein is short of water, it must be sent according to the water, here the three rivers converge, and there is the dragon vein extend, the Li family will lose when the water is broken, I believe that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng absolutely know this, not to mention that this dragon vein is separated by the Qinling Mountains, and it will not affect the Li family's rivers and mountains, so the construction of the big Buddha here to suppress the dragon vein, neither destroy nor let it develop."

Qiu Nuo and Yue Qianling were a little surprised, a Buddha that had stood for thousands of years actually hid a little-known secret, but Qiu Nuo was not happy at all, and after thinking about it, he stopped talking.

"Brother Yan Hui, even if this big Buddha is used to press the dragon vein, but it is also a matter of the Tang Dynasty, the clues in our hands are all left by the Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with how you look at this big Buddha?"

"That's something I haven't figured out yet, but there's one thing I'm weird about."

"What's weird?"

"Although this big Buddha suppressed the dragon vein, but from the topography here, the big Buddha is opposite a horse Pingchuan, it is considered to be a bright hall open, the left and right twin peaks are Huajun, the green dragon and white tiger are subdued, the back is against the big Buddha, ten thousand Buddhas are in the dynasty, and the three rivers are endless, although the dragon vein of Lingyun Mountain can't raise its head, but after hundreds of years of changes, there will be a real dragon's den here!"

"True Dragon's Lair?" Yue Qianling frowned and asked. "What is the True Dragon's Lair?"

"To put it simply, there must be a place around here, if you bury your ancestors, there will definitely be an emperor in the future!" I replied in a nutshell.
