There is a record in "Tan·Tianwen Zhi": "Mirage weather tower by the sea." The letter of the beginning and end. In the spring of Gengyin, I will avoid the invaders on the seashore. One day at lunchtime, a boy in the family reported a strange thing, saying: "Suddenly there were several mountains in the sea. They have never been there before. They have never been there before. What do you think is different?"
I came out in shock and met the master of Yingchuan to invite me. As soon as we arrived, we climbed up to Juyuan Tower and looked east. For the first time, I saw in the vastness of the sky, towering like strange peaks, connected like overlapping peaks, and lined up like broken peaks, hidden and unusual.
There were records of mirages in ancient times in the Xia Dynasty. This strange sight was beyond the knowledge level of people at that time. Therefore, during the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, and even the Wei and Jin Dynasties, everyone believed that it was the work of gods manifesting themselves.
In modern times with the development of science and technology, people still find it strange to see mirages. What's more, according to the terrain of Mount Tai, there are still conditions, which are not enough to form a mirage.
Not to mention seeing the scene of Qin Shihuang's conferment of Zen thousands of years ago. This was no longer as simple as an ordinary mirage, it was really unbelievable to everyone.
"Can we see the real Qin Shihuang later?!"
Everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil. As the guard of honor got closer and closer, the clouds and mist gradually dispersed, and they could see more clearly.
At the front were the Great Qin cavalry, majestic warriors in armor. Even the horses were wearing bronze protective gear. Behind them were the chamberlains holding trays and various ritual and musical instruments.
The crowds in front and back, the chariots and riders holding each other, the flags fluttering, the canopies fluttering, and the drums and music playing loudly show the supreme status of the emperor.
A huge golden vehicle appeared in everyone's sight. It was surrounded by engraved gold hanging clouds and had three layers of engraved gold cloud plates. The curtain was made of three layers of blue satin, and each layer was embroidered with gold, cloud, dragon and feather patterns.
The two wheels each have eighteen spokes and are decorated with golden carvings. There are two shafts in the front, and the two ends are decorated with the head and tail of a golden dragon. There are twelve green satin Taichang flags on the back tree, each embroidered on the flag. Each has the sun, moon, five stars, and twenty-eight constellations, and there are colorful tassels hanging from the flags.
As the wheels were moving, the tassels and beaded curtains were gently swaying, and a majestic figure wearing a black dragon robe could be vaguely glimpsed. That was Qin Shihuang, who was hailed as the emperor of the ages by later generations!
It's not a vague picture or written record, but a figure from a thousand years ago.
Even from such a long distance, I could see the extraordinary ceremony, and feel the majesty and domineering power coming from the emperor, which made people feel in awe.
Although their specific appearance cannot be clearly seen, it does not hinder everyone's admiration for Qin Shihuang.
"Is there a possibility that a movie was being filmed in other places, and it happened to be about Qin Shihuang's enthronement of Mount Tai, and the result was reflected, so this mirage was formed."
"Who would have such a big battle for filming? Look at the people, horses and the army. They are all real people. I have never heard of any crew near Mount Tai."
"How can an actor perform such an aura, unless he is there in person?"
"I feel the same way, but it would be too bizarre if it were really a thousand-year-old scene reappearing."
"What on earth is going on? Is this really the scene where Qin Shihuang consecrated Mount Tai thousands of years ago?"
Everyone was talking about the scene in front of them.
Qi Xueqing once again took out his small notebook and kept writing and drawing, looking at the scene not far away with a thoughtful expression.
If we talk about filming, it is too similar to what is recorded in history. It is a complete one-to-one restoration, which even the most rigorous historical drama cannot achieve.
If not, how did such a wonder come to be? All kinds of doubts emerged in his mind.
The shadow of the green mountains became a little blurry, and even became the background. In such a grand ceremony, everything became eclipsed.
Qin Shihuang came down from the royal chariot, and the red blanket spread towards the top of Mount Tai, like a ladder to the sky. The emperor wearing a black dragon robe and a crown walked forward step by step.
Although everyone couldn't see his appearance clearly, they could feel the majestic aura emanating from him, like a towering green mountain, which made them almost breathless and even made their scalp numb.
There were still some lively crowds. The moment they saw Qin Shihuang appear, they subconsciously became quiet, and their eyes followed the figure closely.
Everyone didn't have many concepts in their minds, but when they looked at the scene in front of them, a sentence came to their mind.
The king of Qin swept Liuhe, what a majestic sight! Swing your sword to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes will come to the west.
Only today did they understand the meaning of this sentence. It turns out that there are really people who can shock the world with just one look from behind.
As the stalwart figure climbed to the top of Mount Tai, all the cavalry and chamberlains were standing on both sides. There was a solemn and pious atmosphere in the air. Everyone seemed like ants, with an inexplicable sense of awe rising in their hearts.
They were obviously just spectators, but they actually felt like they were there, crossing the distance of time and space, to Mount Tai a thousand years later, watching the scene where Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, enshrined himself in Zen.
It wasn't until I witnessed it with my own eyes that I realized how shocking it was. The words were pale and thin, completely unable to show one-tenth of Qin Shihuang's Feng Chan.
The clouds and mists in the mountains gathered, and Qin Shihuang seemed to have stepped onto a ladder to the sky. His dragon-patterned robe was fluttering in the wind. The golden light from the top of the mountain shrouded his head, and he felt as if he was about to ascend to the sky.
Everyone barely dared to breathe, for fear of disturbing the people in heaven.
Even if they knew that what they saw was just an illusion, it still felt so real to them.
"This shouldn't be a filming, it's a reenactment of scenes from thousands of years ago! Only Qin Shihuang himself could have such reality."
"I think so too, no matter how superb my acting skills are, I still can't do it."
"Being able to see such a wonderful sight makes this life worth it."
The tourists were very moved. Even if they couldn't see clearly the specific appearance of Qin Shihuang, it was still better than his imposing manner.
The sea of clouds surged again, red and purple alternated, changing rapidly, like thousands of horses galloping.
The sky full of colorful clouds merges with the vast sea of clouds on the horizon, like a huge oil painting falling from the sky. The clouds and mist complement each other, and the golden light lifts the cloud curtain, revealing a mysterious corner.
The mirage picture is not continuous, but intermittent, like a slideshow, and the picture progresses very quickly.
At this moment, the Zen ceremony was coming to an end. After Qin Shihuang paid homage to heaven and earth, more than a dozen servants laboriously carried something up and covered it with a huge red cloth.
Judging from the expressions and movements of the people around him, Qin Shihuang paid special attention to Haiyu's thing under the red cloth.
"What's under this red cloth that makes it so mysterious?"
"Isn't it a treasure?"
For a moment, everyone was extremely curious and wanted to lift the red cloth themselves.
Even with simple movements, Qin Shihuang's movements were filled with domineering power.
The red cloth was lifted bit by bit, and everyone finally saw its true face in Lushan. They couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. It was a strange-shaped stone!
The reason why it is strange is that this stone is not as square as usual, but is carefully carved by skilled craftsmen.
The slender body was winding and circling, and every scale was polished to be extremely smooth. It was a lifelike snake!
The snake's eyes are even inlaid with two green emerald gems, which is simply a work of art that brings spiritual energy to the face.
The angle of the snake statue is exactly facing everyone.
Looking at those emerald green beast eyes, everything in the world became eclipsed.
Everyone had an illusion in a trance. The snake statue had passed through time and years, and looked at humans a thousand years later through a layer of hazy clouds.
"Damn it, why do I feel like that snake is looking at me?"
"I thought I was the only one with this delusion, but I didn't expect you to also—"
"It seems like he's looking at me from every angle."
Seeing this weird snake statue, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts. They lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at it.
"How could it be a snake statue?"
Everyone was puzzled, and before they could figure out why Fengchan Taishan wanted to carry a snake statue over.
Another stone tablet was brought up, and an attendant handed it a carving knife. Qin Shihuang thought for a moment, and then waved his big hand, and dragons and phoenixes danced, as if he wanted to inscribe on it.
Such behavior is extremely strange.
Generally speaking, after the emperor enshrines Zen, he will inscribe on the stone tablet, but in this case, it is obviously an inscription for the snake statue!
What does this mean?
Qin Shihuang's carvings were not many, and they were completed quickly. Qi Xueqing tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see more clearly.
However, Qin Shihuang had just put down the carving knife when a crack appeared on the stone tablet, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
Under the gaze of everyone, the indestructible stone shattered into countless pieces, and even Qin Shihuang's body began to shake.
In that flash of lightning, Qi Xueqing finally recognized what Qin Shihuang was carving.
Those are four small seal characters——
Fairy!
Immortality!
Before he could figure out the meaning of these four words, there was another exclamation from the crowd.
Buzz!
As the stele collapsed, the originally calm and three-dimensional scene was like boiling water. Not only Qin Shihuang, but also all the characters began to shake.
The lifelike shadows became misty again, and the surrounding sea of clouds gathered again, erasing the traces of these people's existence.
At the end of the scene when the scene disappeared, Qin Shihuang slowly picked up a stone on the ground and looked into the distance, leaving only an infinitely mysterious back to everyone. This massive Taishan Fengchan ceremony finally came to an end.
However, everyone was immersed in the majestic and spectacular scenes and could not recover for a long time.
The green hills remain the same, silently witnessing everything. No matter the vicissitudes of life and the changes in dynasties, it seems to have not changed.
Mount Tai once glimpsed that grand ceremony in the long river of history, but could only turn it all into the mountain wind. Now many people are witnessing it together.
…
Because there were so many tourists in Mount Tai, the story of the mirage spread like wildfire and quickly spread across the Internet.
The popularity is unprecedented, and it has also attracted the ideas of some experts. After all, this mirage is particularly magical.
Soon, experts used the video to speculate on the cause of the mirage.
"This time it is indeed a mirage, and it is a replica of an ancient scene. This kind of vision is very rare.
Since mirage is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light, its appearance is closely related to geographical location, geophysical conditions, and meteorological characteristics of those places at a specific time.
It is very possible that the image was recorded due to weather or other reasons when Emperor Qin Shihuang was conferring Zen, and it appeared again a thousand years later by mistake.
It has the same effect as the figure of the palace maid appearing on the wall.
It is said that there are similar examples in ancient buildings abroad. When traveling at special nights such as thunder and lightning, some materials will be preserved, and then when the same environment occurs in the future, there is a certain probability that it will reappear, just like film.
Therefore, we speculate that it may be that Mount Tai itself recorded this scene thousands of years ago, and now it is re-screened due to factors such as environmental weather and weather, showing such a miracle. "
Experts' statements have completely confirmed that this is a projection from thousands of years ago and is not an ordinary mirage, which has once again aroused public opinion.
But it is strange to say that only people on the mountain saw it, but nothing was seen in the towns not far from Mount Tai. It may be because of the terrain.
"Experts use a lot of nouns and speak in a down-to-earth manner. This is a documentary from a thousand years ago!"
"Good guy, the poster really hit the nail on the head. I like your way of speaking."
"Previously, some people said that someone was filming nearby, but I felt that it was not staged. The experts were finally reliable."
"Today was really an eye-opener on Mount Tai. It was like watching a grand stage mime. The performer was Qin Shihuang. Can you believe it?"
"Qin Shihuang conferred Zen status on Mount Tai! There are only a few Yellow Emperors who conferred Zen status on Mount Tai. Qin Shi Huang ranks first in my heart."
"Speaking of which, Qin Shihuang finally carved a stone tablet, but why did the stone tablet suddenly crack? Has anyone seen the words on the stone tablet?"
"It seems to be the demon immortal and the immortal?"
"I can understand immortality, but what's going on with the demon immortal?"
Speaking of Qin Shihuang's story about immortality, it can be said to be familiar to modern times. There were many ancient emperors who pursued immortality, but there were very few people who were as generous as him.
Perhaps the most famous story is the story of sending Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls eastward to Penglai to search for the fairy island.
According to historical records, Qin Shihuang became obsessed with alchemy when he was in his 20s. From that time on, he believed that there was an elixir of immortality in the world, and began to think of ways to obtain this magical elixir. In order to meet the gods, he even moved the entire palace to the underground palace. Down.
It's a pity that Qin Shihuang never found the elixir of immortality in his lifetime. There are many records in history, but there is no mention of demons and immortals.
However, many people have seen with their own eyes the inscriptions carved by Emperor Qin Shihuang. The mirage is based on the enshrinement of Emperor Qin Shihuang on Mount Tai thousands of years ago. It is consistent with reality, so there is no possibility of it being false.
For a time, many people focused their attention on Qin Shihuang again.
"It is said that the First Emperor of Qin killed brutally and burned books to embarrass Confucians, but many of them were just rumors passed down by later generations. Qin Shihuang did not burn books on medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry, and other technical and practical books. It was not Confucian scholars who were killed, but those who brought harm to the country and the people. Warlocks and their ilk.”
"I finally understand why Qin Shihuang was obsessed with seeking immortals in his later years. It was because he had too many things unfinished and too many ambitions unfulfilled."
"It is understandable that Qin Shihuang pursued immortality. After all, there are many historical materials that can record it, but can anyone explain the demon fairy?"
"There is also that inexplicable snake statue. Don't you think it is strange? As far as I know, the Qin Dynasty worshiped the blue harrier. Even the totem of the Qin State is related to the bird. What happened to the sudden appearance of a snake? It was still in Mount Tai In Feng Chan’s situation.”
"The Green Harrier is the patron saint of the Qin people. Snakes eat birds, so the people of Qin don't like snakes. It can even be said that they hate them. But judging from Qin Shihuang's attitude, he seems to like them, or should we say they respect them?"
"Judging from the carving of the snake statue, a lot of effort must have been put into it. Qin Shihuang also inscribed the word demon and immortal on it. Could this snake be a demon and immortal?"
"You are too imaginative. How can a snake be a fairy?"
Compared with the debates on the Internet, Qi Xueqing's desk is already full of books, including "A Brief History of the Qin Dynasty", "The Qin Dynasty - The Rise of the Kingdom", "Qin Shi Huang, One Emperor through the Ages" and other such books.
Qi Xueqing's eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and he didn't look like he had a good rest. He hadn't closed his eyes since he came back from Mount Tai, and he had been looking for books about Qin Shihuang and the Qin Kingdom.
"Qin Shi Huang definitely did not erect the stele and inscription on a whim, and the demon immortal was still ahead of the immortal. This order could not have been unintentional in ancient times. It is enough to show that the weight of these two words in Qin Shi Huang's heart even exceeds that of immortality!"
Qi Xueqing murmured to himself, but no matter how he looked through the history books, he could not find any records about demons and snake statues.
These two words were short-lived. They appeared when Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, and then disappeared as the stone tablet shattered.
If he were not a witness with his own eyes, he would almost doubt whether what he saw was a dream.
"What exactly is a demon fairy? Is it a place name? Or is it a representative of a certain object? Or is it a person's name?! Or is it just the snake statue?"
Qi Xueqing had various doubts in his heart, but he could not find answers to them in the book. Perhaps only by traveling through thousands of years and asking Qin Shihuang himself could he know the meaning of the two words "demon fairy".
He had a vague hunch in his heart that there must be a great secret behind the word demon and fairy, and it was definitely related to the snake statue.
When looking through the historical records about the Qin Dynasty, especially the period when Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, Qi Xueqing felt a growing sense of disobedience.
"wrong!"
He seemed to have thought of something, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he finally understood where the strange feeling came from.
In history, Qin Shihuang only visited Mount Tai once for Feng Chan, which is clearly recorded in "Historical Records·Feng Chan".
[The First Emperor heard that these opinions were all eccentric and difficult to implement, so he embarrassed the Confucian scholars. Then he removed the driveway and went up from the sun to the top of Mount Tai. He erected a stone to praise the virtues of the first emperor of Qin, indicating that he had won the title.
The First Emperor went up to Mount Tai, encountered a storm in Zhongshan, and rested under a big tree. Since the Confucian scholars were impoverished, they were not allowed to use the ceremony of sealing. When they heard that the First Emperor was in trouble, they ridiculed him. 】
This is also the origin of the famous allusion to Five Dafu Pines.
Qin Shihuang was not happy with the Feng Chan this time. Both the scale and the manpower were far from what he saw in the mirage.
"In other words, Qin Shihuang once consecrated Mount Tai twice! What we saw in the mirage was actually the second time!"
Only in this way can we explain why what they saw was different from what was recorded in the history books.
Qi Xueqing's heart was filled with turmoil. He never expected that besides demons and immortals, he would be involved in such a secret matter.
The capital of the Qin Dynasty was Xianyang. As an ancient historical and cultural capital, there were also many ancient and famous mountains nearby, such as Zhongnan Mountain and Huashan Mountain. Judging from their fame at the time, these two mountains were not inferior to Mount Tai.
Mount Tai is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. It can be said that it is a long way. Why did Qin Shihuang choose here instead of nearby? There are many theories in later generations.
Before the Qin Dynasty, Mount Tai was not a fairy mountain. On the contrary, it was precisely because Qin Shihuang consecrated Mount Tai that for the first time the belief in Mount Tai expanded from Dongyi to a national belief.
Some people say that the Qin State rose in the northwest, but its ancestral roots are not in the west, but come from the east. The main reason why Qin Shihuang granted Zen to Mount Tai was to go home to find his roots.
But is this really the case?
Qin Shihuang chose Mount Tai for political and cultural reasons the first time, but what about the second time?
Moreover, the scale of the second time was so majestic that no relevant records were left in the history books. It was really mysterious to the extreme!
If they hadn't accidentally seen a mirage on Mount Tai, I'm afraid this piece of history would have been buried in the long river of history!
With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Qi Xueqing once again updated the series of special topics on the fog of history. This time he set his sights on Qin Shihuang.
Qin Shihuang himself is extremely controversial. In addition, the mirage scene has been hotly discussed on the Internet recently, and there is also the incident where gangsters were killed by white light falling from the sky on the mountain road near Mount Tai.
For a time, everything brought endless mystery to this mountain.
The myth began to spread from Mount Tai, and the discussion was unprecedented! (End of chapter)
