Lin Yi did not check in the brocade box first, but took the tortoise shell and looked at it carefully in his hand.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Chinese calligraphy had reached a peak.
In the past there were Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Xue Ji, and later there were Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing, Huai Su, Zhang Xu and others who raised cursive script to a higher level.
However, the characters engraved on the tortoise shell were neither regular script nor cursive, and did not look like normal characters at all.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Lin Yi suddenly had four words in his mind: Yunzhuan Tianshu!
Yunzhuan Tianshu, also known as "Dan Shu" and "Heavenly Book".
It is a mysterious Taoist text. Legend has it that it was created by imitating the Qi of the "Three Yuans, Five Virtues and Eight Associations" in the sky and naturally forming the "Yunqi of the Heavenly Book".
Taoists believe that Yunzhuan is formed naturally from the clouds in the sky. The gods in the sky copied it and then passed it down to the human world.
Since then, "Yunzhuan Tianshu" has evolved into an important Taoist culture - talismans.
In fact, in the early days of the emergence of the "Yunzhuan Heavenly Script", it was not a carrier of the communication between heaven and man. It always appeared as a Taoist encrypted text.
Similar to a Taoist codebook, it can be used to convey some important text content.
Moreover, this kind of text is written on different carriers and has very different meanings.
"Turtle shell" is considered to be the highest specification.
This shows how important these text contents are.
Lin Yi did not dare to neglect, put the candle on the stone box, opened a bottle of water, washed his hands, picked up the tortoise shell, and began to read the words on it.
When he saw the first few lines, he was already shocked by the content recorded in it.
It turned out that the tomb of Lu Shang, built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, had been discovered since the Tang Dynasty.
The person who discovered this Feng Shui treasure cave was none other than Li Chunfeng, the great Feng Shui master and fortune teller of the Tang Dynasty.
He himself was a native of Yong County, Qizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and is now Xiqi.
He is also the ancestor of the Li family in Guanzhong among the "Bakui of Kanyu".
Although he is from Qizhou, his father resigned from office because he had been unsuccessful in officialdom for a long time.
When Li Chunfeng was 9 years old, he took him away from Qizhou and went to Jingyun Temple in Nantuo Mountain to worship Taoist Master Yuan as his teacher and join Taoism.
His discovery of this geomantic treasure was purely accidental.
The cause was the famous incident where Yuan and Li were influenced by Wu Zetian, one of the two saints, and chose a good Feng Shui land.
Initially, the two of them set out from Tangdu, one heading east and the other heading west.
Yuan Tiangang was several years older than Li Chunfeng, and he became famous earlier, and he had a long-standing friendship with the Wu family.
He deliberately delayed some time on the road, but unexpectedly, he found Liangshan, the later location of Qianling Mausoleum, one step ahead of Li Chunfeng.
So, he buried a Tongbao here as a mark.
When Li Chunfeng came here, he also discovered this auspicious soil, so he pulled out his hairpin and inserted it into the soil.
Finally, a hairpin was stuck on a copper coin, and the fact that the two of them jointly chose Jirang was once said to be a good talk.
In fact, Li Chunfeng knew that he was too late the moment he pulled out the hairpin and inserted it into the soil.
In front of the "Two Saints", he was at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Li Chunfeng informed Wu Zetian's cronies about the discovery of a good land when he returned to his hometown.
After Wu Zetian learned about this, she immediately secretly sent people to investigate. Finally, she learned that this was actually the tomb built by Zhou Gongdan for Lu Shang during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Not only was the "Qingzhou Ding" discovered here, but there was also an inscription on the tripod that Zhou Gongdan announced to the world:
It states the reason why Zhou Gongdan personally rushed from Haojing to Xiqi to preside over the ceremony for Lu Shang.
Not long after the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu Jifa died young and passed the throne of emperor to his son, King Cheng of Zhou.
When King Cheng was young, Duke Zhou supervised the country and helped his nephew with government affairs. Although he had a clear conscience, there were still rumors that he had great achievements and wanted to replace him.
At this time, news came that Lu Shang, the king of Qi, had died.
Lu Shang and Zhou Gong were King Wu's right-hand men, and their fiefdoms were in Qi and Lu, so they were considered neighbors.
However, Duke Zhou guarded Haojing all year round, and he ordered his son Boqin to go to Qi to pay his respects.
He rushed back to Xiqi to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Lu Shang and buried him with the "Qingzhou Ding" as a sacrifice.
Without one of the "Nine Cauldrons", even if he ascends the throne and sits in the palace, he will not be justified. His purpose of doing this is to tell the world that he has no disobedience.
Later, what Zhou Gongdan did was indeed as he said. He assisted King Cheng of Zhou and worked hard until King Cheng grew up. Zhou Gongdan returned to power and returned to his fiefdom.
Wu Zetian was deeply aware of this and ordered his cronies to occupy the place.
And he found an excuse so that Gaozong could alienate Yuan Tiangang and reuse Li Chunfeng.
In the end, the frustrated Yuan Tiangang had to resign and return to his hometown, and went to Langzhong. When he left, he left a letter to Li Chunfeng, asking him to open it when the situation changed.
Just when Li Chunfeng was triumphant, news of Gaozong's death came.
Li Zhi stepped into the Qianling Mausoleum before Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian took this opportunity to take possession of this auspicious land as her own. Not to mention the secret construction, she also began to interfere in the government affairs and take advantage of the Li family.
Li Chunfeng risked her life to remonstrate, but Wu Zetian told her that she was just following the story of Duke Zhou and wanted to be an assistant to the Li Tang Dynasty.
After realizing that something was wrong, Li Chunfeng immediately rushed home and found the autographed letter left by Yuan Tiangang.
Only then did he discover that Yuan Tiangang had long suspected that Wu Zetian had the intention to become emperor, but he lacked a "divine sign".
The auspicious soil discovered by Li Chunfeng made up for her shortcomings and allowed her to obtain the "Qingzhou Cauldron".
For her, becoming emperor is just a matter of time.
Li Chunfeng realized that he had caused a big disaster and regretted it. But when he returned here, he found that the original tomb of Lu Shang had been completely destroyed by the group of monks sent by Wu Zetian.
A towering Buddha hidden in the heart of the mountain rises from the ground, and the tomb of the Taigong is trampled underfoot.
Just because Changsun Wuji said a few bad words about Wu Zetian in front of Taizong, all the twenty-four heroes of Lingyuan Pavilion were made into superficial heroes and puppets of the Rakshasa ghost behind them.
He also introduced countless poisonous insects from the Western Regions, set up numerous vicious mechanisms, and placed the "Three Poisons" in the main tomb chamber.
Li Chunfeng, who regretted his mistake, could only go to Langzhong to seek help from Yuan Tiangang.
After listening to his story, Mr. Yuan and he deduced these mechanisms and gave Li Chunfeng a tip bag.
Li Chunfeng returned to Qizhou and used the marks marked in the brocade bag on this secret tomb in turn.
As for the "Qingzhou Cauldron", Li Chunfeng took advantage of Wu Zetian's trust in him to steal the bronze cauldron and replace it with a stone box of the same weight, and took it to Langzhong for safekeeping by Yuan Tiangang.
As for Lu Shang's clothes and other belongings, they have long been in a state of decay.
However, Zhou Gongdan also buried his sword in the tomb and was cut into two pieces by the Hu monks.
Li Chunfeng only recovered the second half and took it back to Tangdu. He found Zhang Yajiu, the best swordsmith at the time, and recast the broken sword into a "barrier sword".
Seeing this, Lin Yi turned his surprised gaze to the brocade box in the stone box.
