"Haha, here we go again, when it comes to key topics, Xiaolanzi's mouth is thirsty!" Zhou Bagua said happily.

"This is a very large painting, inlaid with a very precious variety of wood, but it does not look like a landscape painting, however, there are lofty mountains and mountains in the painting, there are trees and flowers, there is a very mysterious fog, Shulan suddenly found that under the clouds and mist, in the shade of trees, there are two buildings that are not obvious but very strange, one is a academy, the other is an ancient tomb, Shulan found, inlaid into a academy, The wooden strip patterns of the ancient tomb seem to be some symbols, but Shulan can't solve the secret of the symbols for a while, of course, Shulan has written them down, and then she will crack them with her father-in-law and uncle-in-law, Shulan thought, no matter what the symbol is, this must be a hidden topographical map, perhaps to point out: the academy and the ancient tomb are two buildings with buried treasures, otherwise, why hide this painting in a secret room with heavy organs? Moreover, Shulan carefully searched all over the secret room, and there were no other secret passages or objects, and the painting was the key item in the secret room, but unfortunately, the painting was too big to move it out in order to leave safely. Li Shulan said in detail.

"Xiao Lanzi's analysis is very reasonable, that painting is a secret, and the academy and ancient tomb are very famous. Zhou gossip said.

"Xiaolanzi, you rest for a while, draw the wooden strip patterns about the academy and the ancient tomb, let's study them carefully, see what symbols they are, and then make the next plan, you have made a great contribution to the head of the mountain this time, you are always naughty and coquettish little princess in front of the head, I can't imagine that once you make a move, you will be better than me and several of your other uncles, the uncles went down the mountain in vain, and you returned with a full load, congratulations!"

"Yes, Xiao Lanzi doesn't let her shave her eyebrows! she deserves to be my good daughter!" Zhou Bagua said proudly.

"Uncle Yue, Shulan told you the biggest secret of your success in going down the mountain this time, do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, you can toast the 'little princess' with a cup of tea!" Li Shulan said mysteriously.

"Okay! I, an 'old smart man', am going to humbly learn from the clever little princess this time! Please drink tea!" Yue Zhongbin couldn't tell what she wanted to say.

"The secret is actually very simple, and that is...... "No, I'm thirsty, let me have another cup of tea," she paused for a moment, smiled mysteriously, and then said, "It was the head of Zhou, Shulan's father-in-law, who generously donated money and took out a large handful of silver for this princess to spend!

"Hahahaha......" Zhou Bagua smiled so hard that he pointed at Li Shulan speechless; Yue Zhongbin also smiled and said: "Reason! That is to say: the silver of the head of the house is a master key to enter the secret underground palace! The head of the house has cultivated a squeamish little princess, not only playing an experienced martial arts master in Jing'an Temple, but also explaining the real secrets of the rivers and lakes to the head of the house and old rivers and lakes like Uncle Yue in the conference hall of Blue Cliff Mountain.

Zhou Gossip gave Li Shulan a thumbs up and praised: "Little Lanzi, you are really naughty and reasonable, and you are so squeamish and very cute!"

The next day, Li Shulan drew the patterns of the academy and the ancient tomb on the mysterious painting, and analyzed it with Yue Zhongbin, who looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Could it be a word?"

Li Shulan was distracted at this time, she thought about the painting, thought of the trees and flowers in the painting and the trees and flowers beside the ancient tomb, and suddenly thought of the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum plaque in the "Qingzhi Pavilion" of the "Qiyunxuan" wine shop, and thought of the scene of her and "Brother Yun" being warm and toasting each other, and a warm current welled up in her heart, and Yue Zhongbin's question interrupted her sweet recollection.

Li Shulan was stunned, her face flushed, she covered up and said: "Uncle Yue, Shulan is recalling that painting, and always feels that the mosaic method of the academy and the ancient tomb pattern is a bit strange, very similar to a symbol, there are three possibilities, one is the word you said, the other is a special sign, and the other is the word plus the sign, let's take a closer look!"

The two looked carefully for a long time, Yue Zhongbin looked at the academy and the ancient tomb patterns, thinking of the relevant things of the Xie Mansion and the Wangfu, and said: "The Xie Mansion has a Qingyuan Academy in Quanzhou, last time your third uncle Zhong Ye and fourth uncle Zhong Kun went to explore, but they encountered the obstruction of the master, so they withdrew!"

Li Shulan suddenly realized and said: "By the way, Uncle Yue, look, this academy pattern depicts a stream of water on the mountain, from fine to thick, flowing to the academy, the academy is in Quanzhou, Zhu Xi once lectured in Quanzhou Academy, he has a poem that says, 'Ask where the canal is as clear as washing, for there is a source of living water', the spring water flows from the mountain to the academy, obviously it is "clear source", it will not be wrong!"

"Yes, it makes sense, Xiaolanzi, you are too smart, you deserve to be a master detective!" Yue Zhongbin sincerely praised her.

"But what does the pattern of the ancient tomb indicate?" Li Shulan said as she pondered.

"This ancient tomb figure is very in line with the conditions of a good feng shui cemetery, with the mountains and rivers in the back, there are mountains not far from the left, such as the green dragon, there are hills not far from the right, such as the white tiger, there are statues of the Vermilion Bird in front, there are Xuanwu statues in the back, the vestibule is very wide, and the mountains behind are stacked and raised, but there are no special symbols to be seen. Yue Zhongbin said.

"Uncle Yue, after your reminder, Shulan feels a little eyebrows, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu represent the east, west, south, and north, and at the same time represent the gold, wood, water, and fire in the five elements, as well as the blue, white, vermilion, and black in the five colors, and the middle is earth and yellow, indicating the place where the mausoleum is buried. ”

Li Shulan continued: "In addition, there is also a meaning, Taoism believes that there are 'three walls' in the sky, that is, the upper wall Taidian, the middle wall Ziwei, the lower wall Tianshi, and Ziwei in the center, so the emperor's palace is called 'Ziwei Palace', and the "heavenly market" is a street market, outside the 'three walls', its east, west, north and south are guarded by the four guardian gods of the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu respectively, which may be explained in this way: Nanjing is known as the land of the tiger and the dragon, and the green dragon and the white tiger mean that it is the city of Nanjing, that is to say, the ancient tomb is in the city of Nanjing; Xuanwu represents the north and south directions, for example, the north gate of the imperial palace is 'Xuanwu Gate', and the south gate is 'Vermilion Bird Gate', and Xuanwu refers to 'Xuanwu Zhenjun' in Taoism, which may be used to indicate the famous Taoist mountain, and 'Vermilion Bird' refers to the south direction, and, Uncle Yue, pay attention to the texture of the turtle shell on the back of the tomb, is it very similar to a 'Kun'? Li Shulan excitedly explained that she was confident that her analysis made sense.
