Chapter 163: After the Emperor
After everyone heard this, they applauded in unison, raised their glasses together, and drank a full cup together.
After putting down the wine glass, Xiao Qingfeng drank a cup of tea, cleared his throat, and began to tell everyone about the stone carvings he saw in the small stone room at the end.
According to the original content of the engravings in the small stone room, and then according to his overall understanding, he summarized the stone carvings on the eight stone walls inside into the following eight stories: the boy plays himself, the deep mountain practice, the Maitreya Buddha statue, the Tang Wu destroys the Buddha, the exquisite jade girl, the grand plan, the hatred of the teaching, and the phantom is far away. Of course, these names are not the original titles above, but he figured them out by himself.
And he believed that these stone carvings were engraved by the strange woman who called herself Linglong Girl. And the treacherous and grotesque young girl he and Xiao Maitreya saw with their own eyes should be the real body of this strange woman. It is with these stone carvings that she is telling everything she has......
The first picture, the boy playing by himself, roughly means the following.
Yuan Tiangang, a famous Xiangshi, Taoist priest and a strange man of the Tang Dynasty, liked to travel the famous mountains and rivers of the world before he became famous, and inspected the topography and landform forms and patterns of various places. On this day, he traveled to a very remote mountain village in the east, and suddenly felt very thirsty, and was thinking about entering the village to replenish some water. Suddenly, on a high ground at the edge of the village, he saw a boy who looked like a beggar, sitting alone on the ground and playing with some kind of concentration.
Maybe I was so involved in playing that I forgot about the scorching sun. And in the shade not far away, a group of other urchins frolicked. This beggar-like child, at first glance, looks like an outstanding.
After Yuan Tiangang saw it, he immediately became curious, and he quietly walked behind the boy. When he stood there, he didn't look at it, and he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it. It turned out that this boy was drawing the ground for chess, taking stones as children, black and white in his heart, and playing with each other left and right.
And the chess game he played alone turned out to be a famous exquisite endgame on the ancient score. However, what surprised Yuan Tiangang even more was that there were four other exquisite endgames next to this boy, which were also some chess games that were very famous in the ancient score.
At this time, the boy also suddenly found that there were outsiders, but he was still unmoved by no one around him, still staring there and pondering, silently calculating the chess path in his heart, and sometimes taking out one or two exquisite games. After looking at it for a while, Yuan Tiangang was even more shocked, it turned out that this boy's chess strength was far beyond his imagination, not only had both right and strange, but also far-reaching wisdom.
After watching it for a while, Yuan Tiangang had already forgotten the scorching sun above his head, and even more forgot that he was so thirsty that he couldn't help but squat down and play against this boy. As soon as the two took over, they fought from noon until the sun set, and they fought until the sky was dark.
In the end, although Yuan Tiangang won all five games, he also won extremely hard, and he paid a lot of effort. Moreover, the most subtle thing is that this boy automatically admits defeat when the defeat has not yet been revealed, showing an extremely rare self-cultivation.
Looking at this boy's skeleton Qingqi restrained atmosphere again, Yuan Tiangang suddenly had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice. The two saw that it was getting dark, and Yuan Tiangang returned home with the boy. In this boy's home, only one of his grandmothers, who had been bedridden for many years, was gone.
When Yuan Tiangang euphemistically proposed to the old man that he wanted to accept this boy as an apprentice, the old man hesitated for a long time, and wasted a lot of effort before handing over a yellow cloth package to Yuan Tiangang. After handing it over to him, the old man became
Calmly tilted his head, and the immortal passed away and ascended to heaven.
Yuan Tiangang opened it and took a look, only then did he know that this boy turned out to be a person with a great background, and his name was Sima Danyun. His ancestor turned out to be the last emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Dewen, who was known as Emperor Gong of the Jin Dynasty. In June of the second year of the original dynasty (420 AD), Sima Dewen was forced to settle in Liuyu, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished. Sima Dewen was deposed as the king of Lingling, and in September of the same year, Liu Yu sent someone to suffocate Sima Dewen with a quilt, at the age of 36, and was buried in Chongping Mausoleum after his death.
It is recorded in the history books that this Sima Dewen only has two daughters and no sons, in fact, he once had a son, as early as the war of that year, somehow went to the people, and it is rumored that he has long died. After he was established as the emperor by the powerful minister Liu Yu, he himself knew his embarrassing puppet position very well, so even if he had secretly found his still living biological son at that time, he didn't want to implicate him again, but hid him in the folk snow.
Later, when he learned that Liu Yu was finally going to force him to take the throne, he congratulated himself on his wise move at the beginning, and at the same time sent his most trusted confidant general with a loyal and brave guard of the dead to hide and protect his prince who was hidden among the people for life. Trying to wait for the right opportunity, and then do something big, restore the hegemony of his Sima clan's dynasty, and at the worst of all, he must keep his last pure bloodline.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the rumor that Sima Dewen had a son among the people was quickly spread by those who cared about it. Of course, Liu Yu will never allow the existence of this prince, which is a big hidden danger that he is most taboo. Therefore, while ordering the secret execution of the abolished Sima Dewen, he immediately sent elite soldiers to conduct secret investigation and hunt down.
The guard of the dead soldiers who were deceived and hidden by this great general did not live up to Sima Dewen's trust, protected this prince who was hidden in the people, escaped countless pursuits, and finally fled to the north, where the imperial court was relatively weak. In the middle of a remote mountain, he built an independent village and thrived there.
It's just that after fighting all the way, there are not many guards left with hundreds of people, and only this general and dozens of dead soldiers remain. And this prince who was desperately rescued, may be quiet by nature, or he may have seen too much bloody slaughter along the way, he has almost lost his ambition to fight for hegemony, and only hopes to live a peaceful life.
At this time, he has lived there for hundreds of years, but he is also at ease with the world. At that time, that small village has slowly become a lively town. The people there have long forgotten what princes and generals there are among them, and all of them have become ordinary people. By the time of this Sima Danyun's grandfather, their family had become very poor in the years of war.
After a few years, their village was also occupied by the rebels, and the family began to be displaced again. Eventually, they fled to the small mountain village where they are now, where they stopped for a while, and because his grandfather and father were both coarse and literate, and extremely easy-going, they were soon absorbed by the original villagers of this place, and truly became a family here.
But just three years ago, the place suffered a plague, and seven or eight out of ten of the adults in the village died. In this plague, Sima Danyun's grandfather and parents both died, leaving only him and this grandmother, who had just died, in the family.
After reading the suicide note left by his grandfather, Yuan Tiangang helped him put away the small yellow package and found a piece of black cloth to wrap it tightly. Then, with the help of his neighbors in the village, his grandmother was buried. In the end, with this little beggar-like Sima Danyun
, left this small mountain village.
The second picture, Practicing in the Mountains, roughly means the following.
After Yuan Tiangang took this boy Sima Danyun away, the two traveled all the way, and finally arrived at Panlong Mountain in Langzhou, which is now in the northeast of Sichuan Province. Settle down here on your own and practice in seclusion. Moreover, Yuan Tiangang also took Sima Danyun as his own disciple for the first time, and taught him everything he had.
It is said that this Sima Danyun is the only disciple in Yuan Tiangang's life, and even the Li Chunfeng, who was almost compared to him later, is just a close friend of his half-disciple and half-friend, and he has not really waited for his true biography.
Why does Yuan Tiangang care so much about this little Sima Danyun, it turns out that there is a very obscure historical legend here. It is said that Yuan Tiangang was originally the son of the emperor, and he had very similar opportunities to this Sima Danyun's residence. It turned out that Yuan Tiangang turned out to be the son of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui, born at the beginning of the third year of Emperor Wen of Sui (583), because of the cruelty of the harem struggle, Queen Dugu killed his biological mother, and then he was sent to a family surnamed Yuan to raise him.
When he grew up, he gradually learned about his life experience, but he was also like Sima Danyun's ancestor, the exiled prince, he had already looked down on all the fame and fortune in the world, and only wanted to be a real cultivator in the mountains and forests. So when he knew Sima Danyun's true identity, he fell in love with this child who was born with Huigen.
The two of them were in the deep mountains, and this stay was more than ten years, and later Yuan Tiangang had to go out of the mountain again because of his big name, and he was ordered to enter the court and become a royal think tank. And this Sima Danyun didn't want to go out of the mountain to show himself in the world, so he continued to practice those metaphysical kung fu in the mountains.
In addition, he helped his master Yuan Tiangang to continue to improve and compile the famous photographic books, celestial books and feng shui books that were later handed down to future generations. Among them, there are the famous "Nine Heavens Xuannu Six Lessons", "Five Elements Picture Book", "Yi Jing Xuanyao" and "Three Worlds Physiognomy", which are said to have been written by him and finally compiled for Yuan Tiangang.
Although this Sima Danyun and Li Chunfeng are both Yuan Tiangang's two masters, Li Chunfeng enjoyed fame in his early years, and what he learned was quite miscellaneous and had a great influence, so he was mostly known to the world. But this Sima Danyun is as his name, indifferent to fame and fortune, with a deep temperament, and never shows mountains and dews in front of him, so he is not known to the world.
In fact, his metaphysical achievements are extremely high, and his talent is unfathomable, and sometimes even his masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng secretly praise him in private, saying that he has surpassed the two in some places.
In addition, this Sima Danyun is still cultivating in the deep mountains, and he has inadvertently practiced a deep Xuanmen inner family kung fu. This unexpected harvest was not even expected by his master Yuan Tiangang. Later, he dabbled in the study of meridians and acupuncture in some ancient books, and also reached a very high level of attainment.
Since then, in his free time of cultivation, he often incarnates as a sloppy mute Taoist and travels down the mountain. With his profound internal skills and miraculous medical skills, he helped some ordinary people in the vicinity and relieved some incurable diseases for free. It's just that he easily doesn't reveal his metaphysical skills, so as not to leak too much of the heavenly secrets, which violates the normal operation of the natural laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Later, more and more people in the neighborhood who had received his favor spontaneously gave him the honorific title of "sloppy real person". He even built a few simple small stone houses for him in the local area as a temporary place for him to stay. As long as there is a poor person with an incurable disease, ask someone here to write down his illness and address, and he will soon go to the hospital for free treatment in person.
