Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dangyang Mausoleum
"The head rests on Luoyang, the foot steps on the sun, and the soul returns to Shanxi" This sentence is a legend after Guan Yu's death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, retreated to Maicheng, broke through the siege and had no choice but to attack the arrow poison attack in his arms, was outnumbered, retreated one after another, and was ambushed by Wu soldiers in the northwest of Dangyang, and then was beheaded, and a generation of martial saints fell. But then Sun Quan was worried about Liu Bei's revenge, and dedicated Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao who was far away in Luoyang, Cao Cao saw through his plan of "blaming others", so he carved agarwood as his body, placed Guan Yu's head, and buried the head of the feather in Luoyang City with the gift of a prince, and his body, Sun Quan also buried his body in Dangyang with Hou Li.
"The head rests in Luoyang, the foot steps on Dangyang, and the soul returns to Shanxi" means that Guan Yu's head was buried in Luoyang, and his body was buried in Dangyang, and his soul returned to Hedong County, Shanxi, which is also the soul returning to his hometown. Therefore, there are two Guan Yushi tombs in the world, namely Luoyang and Dangyang.
But why did Wei Qing talk about Dangyang many times in that sentence, could it be that the knife spectrum was hidden in Dangyang?
When the east pole of Yang, the Han Fertile Field, the west of Bashan Shushui, the south of the ancient city of Jingzhou, the north of the Xiangyang old road, is the past dynasties of the soldiers must fight for the place, if the knife is really in Dangyang, isn't it not far away? At this time, Guan Fu is in the land of Jingxiang!
But Dangyang is also a real sad place.
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all fell into grief, although Guan Yu had been dead for many years, these memories would still evoke a burst of heartache.
Guan Fu sighed and said, "Why did my ancestor recite that sentence, could it be that the sword score is in Dangyang?"
Liao Li nodded and said: "Your grandfather was killed in Dangyang, and your ancestor and your grandfather were also separated in Dangyang, and your ancestor is likely to choose Dangyang as the hiding place of the sword spectrum." ”
Gao Yuan continued: "Your ancestor has been thinking about Dangyang when he was alive, but I'm afraid that your ancestor really went to Dangyang with a knife spectrum. ”
Wei Qing returned to Dangyang with the sword spectrum, was it to apologize? Then what he most likely did was to return the knife spectrum to its original owner.
After Liao Li thought for a while, he was shocked: "Could it be that Wei Qing hid the sword spectrum in the tomb of General Guan?" and then Liao Li laughed, "Haha, after decades, I finally understand." ”
"In General Guan's tomb, yes, the sword technique originally belonged to General Guan, and after Wei Qing's predecessors secretly cultivated it themselves, they didn't give it to the descendants of the Guan family, nor did they pass it on to their apprentices, so it must have been put back to General Guan!" Wu Xing said.
After hearing this, Gao Yuan snorted, and then said: "Then it should be hidden in Guanling." ”
"Guan Ling?" everyone looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, and the Guan Ling that Gao Yuan said was Guan Yu's tomb.
Guan Yu's two cemeteries are Guan Lin and Guan Ling, Luoyang's is Guan Lin, which is the first mound, and Dangyang's is called Guan Ling, which is the mound of the body, "Lin" is the title that can only be enjoyed by saints, and the mausoleum of Confucius and Mencius is called "Kong Lin" and "Meng Lin", so Guan Yu is indeed the status of "martial saint" in the hearts of the people, and "Ling" is the title that can only be enjoyed by the emperor's tomb, and the reason why it is named Guan Ling also reflects the high status of Guan Yu in people's hearts.
Gao Yuan saw that everyone didn't understand Guan Ling, so he explained: "Guan Ling, is located in the west of Dangyang City five miles, the mausoleum temple sits west and faces east, facing the depressed water, and Jingshan is far away, there is relatively barren, the temple is extremely conspicuous, it is not difficult to find. "Guanling is not particularly far from Gao Yuan's house, Gao Yuan goes to Guanling every year to worship, and he remembers everything there, so he is very familiar with Guanling.
Liao Li sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Isn't General Guan's mausoleum a mound?"
Liao Li's meaning is that Guan Yu's Dangyang tomb does not have an emperor-level building, but Luoyang's 'Guan Lin' has been valued by Cao Cao, and the cover is extraordinarily luxurious, and it is a tomb that combines the tomb, the temple, and the forest. On the contrary, it is "Guan Ling", Guan Yu had insulted Sun Quan before his death, Sun Quan actually hated Guan Yu, although it was Guan Yu who was buried according to the Hou ceremony, but those were just for the people to see, how could it really be built "Mausoleum".
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Sun Quan Xiao'er will definitely not care about General Guan's mausoleum, but the people love General Guan, and since he has won the hearts of the people, it is not difficult for the people to build a mausoleum." ”
Alas, I have been in Xiangyang before, but I have never been to Dangyang to worship General Guan, nor have I heard of General Guan's mausoleum, which is a pity. Liao Li sighed.
"Since we know that General Guan's sword spectrum may be in Dangyang, we might as well go to Dangyang and worship General Guan by the way!" He Sui proposed.
Although Wu Xing also wanted to pay homage, he still felt that there was something he couldn't understand, so he said: "Don't be impatient, discuss it first, I still think there is something wrong." ”
Liao Li nodded and said, "Well, haven't you found anything else suspicious, since General Guan's cemetery has built a mausoleum, where will Wei Qing put the knife spectrum?" Liao Li was a little shaken now, he was not sure where Wei Qing hid the knife spectrum in Guan Ling.
Qiu Li turned to look at Gao Yuan and asked, "It was a long time ago that Wei Qing's predecessor disappeared, when was this mausoleum built, and could it be built after Wei Qing's predecessor disappeared?"
Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The mausoleum temple was probably built more than 20 years ago. ”
Everyone was shocked and said, "Twenty years? So it is a mausoleum temple that only existed after Wei Qing disappeared!"
If Liao Li had brought the knife spectrum to Dangyang, what would the tomb of Guan Yu be like? This is another mystery, if it was still a mound at that time, then Liao Li would probably bury the knife spectrum in the tomb, if someone took care of the cemetery, it would be even more troublesome, and it is impossible to determine what the result will be.
Guan Fu, who had been silent for a long time, said: "No matter what, I will not let go of the whereabouts of the sword spectrum in the slightest. ”
Liao Li said: "As far as I can see, Wei Qing probably hid the sword spectrum in the tomb, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to mention Dangyang." ”
There are different opinions, everyone has their own opinions, but Guan Fu found that everyone ignored one thing, that is, gold foil, which is the key to finding the knife spectrum, Guan Fu said: "That's right, gold foil!"
Guan Fu slowly spread out the gold foil paper, the pattern on it was very delicate, and clear, without a trace of dust, it could be seen that Guan Xing Guan Suo kept the gold foil paper very well. The pattern on it is not text, nor is it a simple map, but a simple composition on the surface.
Several people looked around the gold leaf, trying to find clues.
Guan Fu looked left and right, and said casually: "How do these look like a design drawing." ”
Everyone looked at Guan Fu's angle again, and sure enough, they found that the gold leaf paper was drawn on it very much like a mechanism design drawing, and it also looked like a channel diagram.
"Ah, as expected!"
Liao Li smiled, his guess was confirmed again, this pattern turned out to be a simple diagram in the tomb! And this gold leaf paper is painted on the mechanism and passage in the tomb, no wonder Guan Xing Guan Suo has not been able to see the famous hall for decades, just because the angle they chose at the beginning was wrong.
Everyone was overjoyed, sure enough, Wei Qing still hid the knife spectrum in the Guan Mausoleum, it seems that Guan Fu has to go to the Guan Tomb to retrieve his own glimpse of the waves and kill, but since Wei Qing left this simple and complex drawing, then the tomb must not be simple!
