Who is Yuan Tiangang?
If he wanted to hide the location of his mausoleum, a master of the art of Kanyu in China, future generations would not be able to find it even if they were extremely capable.
The reason why his mausoleum was dug up by Zhang Xianzhong can only show that Mr. Yuan had the world in mind and helped the common people.
He must have predicted this calamity in Sichuan during his lifetime, and he was willing to let his ghost house be destroyed in order to keep the people there safe.
However, what surprised Lin Yi the most was that he once thought that the clues to "Jiuding" were discontinued, but he did not expect that they were continued here.
The Qingzhou tripod, which was buried in Lu Shang's tomb by Zhou Gongdan, was taken by Wu Zhao as his own, and was taken to Langzhong by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
After several twists and turns, he was brought into his mausoleum by Duke Yuan.
After going round and round, by accident, it fell into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong.
He once thought that he was the continuation of the Chinese Dragon Vein, and he happily ascended the throne in Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor. Unexpectedly, this dream fell apart after three years.
The key is that in addition to the Qingzhou Cauldron, they actually got a "Book of Three Worlds" written by Yuan Gong for his whole life.
Yuan Tiangang's most famous work is "Tui Bei Tu", which was written in collaboration with Li Chunfeng.
It is said that in their later years, the two of them used their lifelong knowledge to deduce the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, this deduction was widely published.
The symbols are arranged according to the names of the 64 hexagrams in "Book of Changes", matched according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and cycled in the order of Jiazi and Yichou, with a total of sixty symbols.
Each image is numbered with stems and branches, and mainly includes: a hexagram, an image, a prophecy and a "Ode" poem, a total of four parts.
It predicts prosperity and chaos in future generations.
According to the interpretation of later generations, many of the prophecies in it have been proven to be true. This book has also been rumored to be miraculous and is known as the "No. 1 Wonderful Book in the World".
In fact, many of the contents in this book were continued by later generations. As early as the completion of the book, Yuan and Li deleted many of the contents.
Spying on the number of days is the most taboo thing among Kanyu sect.
It can range from being seriously ill and shortening one's life span to causing harm to one's wife, children, children, or even the whole family. Why add trouble to yourself for no reason?
The content that is continued later is accurate only because most of it was fabricated by later generations.
People in the Song Dynasty continued to write about things that happened in the two Song Dynasties, and people in the Ming Dynasty continued to write about things that happened in the Ming Dynasty. How can there be any reason for inaccuracy?
Another thing is that most of the ancient books were hand-copied by later generations. There are as many as seven or eight versions of the hand-written "Tui Bei Tu" that are clearly extant now, and the contents are all different. The original content of the book has long been impossible to verify, and it can only be said to be for fun. Just take a look.
Yuan and Li each have one truly unique work.
Li Chunfeng later devoted himself completely to the study of astronomy and calendar, and finally wrote a book called "Yi Si Zhan", which was a masterpiece about astrology.
A large part of the content has been used in "Tianxing Feng Shui". Although the original twelve volumes cannot be passed down in full, at least its core content has been inherited.
After Yuan Gong retired to Langzhong, he compiled and edited all Yuan's yin and yang feng shui, and finally wrote the book "Sanshengshu".
This book is divided into three volumes, the past life volume, the present life volume and the afterlife volume.
According to the memories of Duke Yuan's disciples, he only completed the contents of the past life volume and the current life volume, and then left.
Before leaving, he especially told his disciples that he would complete the last volume of this book in the next life.
Therefore, this unfinished masterpiece of Feng Shui was brought into his tomb.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong and his men dug it out and rewarded it to his adopted son Li Dingguo, who in turn rewarded it to his own men.
"Now it's clear why the mechanism design of this underground palace is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. There is no connection at all. In the end, I really had no choice, so I just set a fire and wanted to die with us. What an inappropriate bandit did. Pie?"
Qian Sheng shook his head and sighed. He took off the rubbings from the car window and put another one on it.
Unexpectedly, the content of this one is even more exciting.
It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong was besieged in Phoenix Mountain and had already thought of a way to escape.
The man shot to death by the Qing army was his substitute.
He himself escaped from the secret passage long ago, then sneaked all the way back to Chengdu, and finally came to Pujing Temple, where the tomb he built during his lifetime was located.
This is actually the last escape route Zhang Xianzhong left for himself.
At first, Li Dingguo and his men found the 'Hidden Dragon's Cave' hidden in Qingfeng Mountain and immediately reported it to Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong, who had already proclaimed himself emperor at the time, staged a bitter plot here after conspiring with Left Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin.
He pretended to be very dissatisfied with Li Dingguo's work and burned the old site of Pujing Temple on fire.
It's just to deceive others.
After he left, large-scale construction could be carried out here with great fanfare, and a monk named "Xinzheng" was left behind to eat fast, chant Buddha's name here, and preside over the repair of the temple.
Because this so-called "Xinzheng" master is just his stand-in, and there is Li Dingguo watching personally, so how can he dare to play any tricks?
When he returned to Pujing Temple, he sent his substitute directly to the Western Paradise.
He shaved his head, put on his cassock, and sat on the host's futon as a matter of course.
The inscription says that after the fall of the Daxi Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong completely converted to Buddhism and chanted sutras here all day long to repent for his previous sins.
Before he passed away, he wanted his descendants to take the secret treasures from the underground palace and use them to expand the temple and extend the incense, so that they could wash away his sins.
There was a little bit of reluctance in my heart, unwilling to let my dynasty's hegemony be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Finally, four prophecies were added to the inscription:
A stone dragon versus a stone tiger, worth tens of thousands of gold and silver. Whoever knows it better can buy Rongcheng Mansion.
The secret of unlocking the treasure in the underground palace is also engraved on it.
Leave everything to fate.
Because this stone tablet occupies a huge area and lacks a base, it has been placed in the small courtyard of the host and used as a stone table.
Due to years of wear and tear and the growth of moss, no one studied the contents above.
If it weren't for the strong hint in Lin Yi's heart, they probably wouldn't have noticed the ruined monument.
"No wonder there is something wrong with Master Xinzheng's face. It seems that the abbot during the Daoguang period understood the content on the stone tablet. Not only did he decipher the prophecy, but he also took the pass code and took the monks down to the well and brought Zhang Xianzhong to the well. The tomb was evacuated.
Then he used it to expand the temple. It can be considered that this old bastard did something before he died. "
"That's right. I just saw it in the Sutra Pavilion. The manhole of the well in the backyard used to be shaped like a tiger's head, and there were tiger patterns carved around it."
Bai Lu recalled the "panoramic view of the restoration of the ancient well" that was seen in the Sutra Pavilion and was drawn by later generations through classics and temple records. Coupled with these four prophecies, she suddenly thought of the connection between the two.
"Zhang Xianzhong's nickname is 'Huang Hu', so he designed a tiger-related mark at the entrance of his mausoleum to echo the dragon on the forehead of this Shinto monument."
Lin Yi added.
"Then everything is not completely clear now. The old monk plastered the stele, smashed the well, poured the bucket, and spent the money. We are just a step too late."
Qian Sheng complained with some annoyance.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi waved his hand, pulled off the rubbings and folded them with a smile.
"Actually, we are not too late!"
