readx; Chapter 143: The Road to the Primeval Forest

"For the afterlife?" several of us, including the old tomb robber, frowned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a person dies, he is gone, why do you leave a way out?

Seeing that we didn't understand, Shui Ruohan explained: "This is naturally a good wish. Legend has it that after death, the soul wanders everywhere and it is possible to live throughout the underworld. If you've read the sequel fragment of "The Travels of the Old Remnant", you'll know a little bit about it. In this way, he must leave himself a back road to facilitate his entry and exit. ”

Shui Ruohan paused, and then said affirmatively: "Therefore, this road is not the unity of all things, but what we call it every day - the road of green clouds. ”

"The Road to the Clouds?"

We all cry out, is that not for us people on earth?

Qingyun is an auspicious cloud. Qingyun Road is an auspicious road, which means that people who embark on this road can be auspicious in their career and life, and now it is mostly used to refer to their careers.

But what does such a path have to do with the underworld? I told Shui Ruohan my doubts.

Shui Ruohan smiled and said, "Hehe, in fact, the meaning of this word comes from the underworld. ”

"Ahh We were finally startled and impatiently urged Shui Ruohan to continue.

Shui Ruohan said, it is said that the main god in charge of the underworld is Dongyue Taishan Jun. He led 5,900 gods, presided over life and death, and was the commander of a hundred ghosts.

In Taoism, the Emperor Dongyue is in charge of the Dongyue Taishan Mansion, in charge of the distinction between the noble and the low and the low of the inhabitants of the world, the affairs of the Lu Branch and the six case books of the Eighteen Hells, and the seventy-five divisions of life and death, he is in charge of the underworld. The subordinate departments will include Zhao Xianggong, Dongyue, ten Taibao, ten halls, Hades, various realms, city gods, land, etc.

He built the Three Treasures and Nine Lights Night Crown, wore a green feather chapter skirt, wore a nine-colored spotted fur, brought the seal of the emperor's god, and rode the green clouds to fly the nine-colored dragon, from the twelve immortal officials.

That is to say, this Taishan Jun rode the green clouds, drove the dragon, and traveled to the three worlds of heaven and earth, like entering a no-man's land, doing whatever he wanted, and there was no more wishful thinking in the world.

So later generations used the road of Qingyun to describe their careers.

We nodded at the point of understanding. But how did this road appear in Guo Pu's tomb?

"Guo Pu is known as an immortal master, but in fact, he has long been free from the entanglement of distracting thoughts in the world, and there is no obstacle in his heart.

He dreamed that after his death, he would be able to live a life of immortals who came and went as he pleased, which is what we call immortality.

So I judged that his entire burial chamber was designed with this in mind. From the location of the ancient tombs, to the number of directions facing the tombs, the location of the main burial chambers, all of them are the top level in the tomb pattern.

Before Shui Ruohan finished speaking, Lao Wang suddenly interjected: "Yes, Lao Tzu just admires the pattern of this ancient tomb very much, fucking Lao Tzu has never seen such a perfectly designed ancient tomb in his life, otherwise he would really be blind." ”

We have finally figured out why Guo Pu set aside such a path for his grave.

Suddenly, my thought flashed, since these sixty-four steps have such a big origin, does it mean ......

I couldn't wait to shout out: "So, is Guo Pu's main burial chamber near here? Because there is no reason to put this road far away from his coffin." ”

Shui Ruohan listened, and did not answer immediately, but quietly glanced at me secretly, and said, "Not necessarily, it doesn't matter where this road is placed." ”

I saw the look in his eyes, and for a moment it was elusive what it meant, and I was wondering, when I suddenly saw the tomb robber king's eyes shine, and suddenly my heart brightened.

He was still on guard against the tomb robber, for fear that he would make a mistake for the sake of the treasure, and if we didn't get it right, we would all become Guo Pu's funeral objects.

We chatted for a while, and we took the opportunity to rest again, and by this time our strength had recovered somewhat.

Although I am still hungry, there may be a lot of treasures in this ancient tomb, but there will definitely be no raw seafood to eat, because this is not a place for living people. So there was no way for a while, we just hoped to be able to leave this hellish place sooner.

By the light of the torch in my hand, we took a closer look at the place where we were staying, and found that it was still part of the cemetery, and that sixty-four steps had come down to the place where we were standing was a platform.

Looking further on, I found that there were some more steps.

It's just that there are very few steps, no more than ten steps. There is not much to see on either side except for some frescoes. But these frescoes have been eroded by years of moss and have long been mottled and unrecognizable.

The grave is damp...... I say this to myself, and I don't know if it's a noteworthy point.

We carefully walked down the stairs below to a platform.

The platform is much smaller, and the flanks are still flanked by eroded frescoes. But right ahead, there was a huge stone monument blocking the way.

This stone tablet, about three meters high and about five meters wide, is densely written with words, which looks like an article.

When we read this article, everyone was amazed, and no one spoke.

The article is very long, but fortunately it is written in Li, and we can recognize every word.

It took us a long time to get to see it. After reading it, there was still silence. Whether or not to move forward has become a big choice for us.

On this stone stele, a major event was written, a major event that caused a sensation in the world at that time.

But at the beginning, it talks about the four realms of people. Roughly speaking, people walk in the world, and their intelligence is different.

Those who are able to understand things and are not ignorant are called "wise men"; those who can read all things without being superficial are called "wise men"; and those who are able to live more and more in groups without restraint are called "spiritual ones."

Those who can be transcendent and free, walk between heaven and earth and everything is empty, is called a "master".

Then, the article turned to introduce a figure who can be called a "master", surnamed Huo Mingyi, who is the famous general of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quai.

Seeing this, we are confused.

Because of this period of history in the Western Han Dynasty, I also checked some information before class, and found that Huo Qubing did not seem to have descendants.

In the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the champion Hou Huo died of illness, and the son of his concubine, Huo Heng, inherited the title of champion, but this most likely son died of illness seven years after Huo Qu's death, following Emperor Taishan of the Han Dynasty to seal Zen.

Therefore, the "Historical Records" records that Huo Qubing had a son named Huo Heng, who died early and had no children, but the "Book of Han" also said that Huo Qubing had two grandsons, one was named Huo Shan, and his younger brother was called Huo Yun.

Since his son died young, where did he get his grandson? Therefore, Bai Yang of Taiwan believes that Huo Qubing has no son, and that his younger brother Huo Guang passed on his son to him.

In this case, how can this "Huo Yan", who is enough to be called a "master", have anything to do with Huo Quai?

The article continues to introduce: Huo Quai's 24-year-old boy died early, and his sentence "The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home" is almost a prophecy.

But Huo Quai's young man worships the generals, crowns the world, and is favored by the Han Emperor, so it is reasonable that there are many celebrities around him.

When Huo Quzhi was 21 years old, he successively recruited two concubines, namely Mrs. Sakura and Mrs. Ning.

Because Huo Qubing did not have the intention of setting up a main room at that time, the two concubines got along harmoniously.

Later, Mrs. Sakura gave birth to a son for Huo Quai, named Huo Huan, and he was also a young man.

But due to an unteachable secret, Huo Qubing died of a violent illness shortly after Mrs. Sakura gave birth to Huo Xian, and the world was colorless for a while.

But he didn't know that Mrs. Ning was already pregnant with his flesh and blood at this time, but she did not give birth for a long time, and waited for a year and three months, that is, a full fifteen months of pregnancy before giving birth to a son.

However, this incident caused a sensation in the imperial court at the time, and the Han Emperor thought that Mrs. Ning was unchaste, so he secretly killed her, and her son was raised by Mrs. Ning's close slave at that time.

The slave saw that the child had died unjustly, and that he was in the deep palace, and that he had nowhere to report, and soon died of depression.

Before he died, he named the child "Huo Yan", alluding to the fact that he had seen through the open and secret struggles in the world, and there was no one to rely on. >
