It was clear that there was a dangerous general in front of the door, but unexpectedly, these four people stood in front of the door and did not move! ?
No, no, that's definitely not the case. If that were the case, the four of them would have died long ago. In that case, the general just now was...
Thinking of this, he saw that the four people in front of the door were unharmed. He calmed down his pounding heart. He Fei turned back and saw someone taking the lead. Others also came back one after another. Everyone returned to the door to take a closer look...
portrait.
Under the illumination of a flashlight, one could see a shadow wall erected in front of the door. The general in golden armor was a hand-painted portrait. Due to the superb painting skills and the addition of color, the general was lifelike. At first glance, he looked very much like a real person. Everyone just saw it. What they saw was the portrait on the wall. The reason why they were frightened was precisely because the military commander happened to be facing the gate, and the military commander had a fierce appearance and was slashing with a knife. This created an illusion of vision, and the crowd fled in panic and fear, mistaking the portrait. Treat it like a real person.
"Painting, portrait..."
"Holy crap! What idiot drew this? Not only is it so realistic, but it's also facing the door on purpose. It almost scared me to death just now!"
"It's actually a painting, who painted it? Who painted this!?".
As expected, after watching for a while with a flashlight, and after confirming that there was a simulated portrait in front of the door, everyone's fear quickly subsided and was replaced by anger, as if someone had tricked them. Peng Hu, who was rolling around, took the lead in shouting curses. For a while, there was a constant stream of curses. He Fei, who was also frightened and his legs went weak and fell down, also became angry and couldn't help but cursed, "It's so shameful. I have experienced so many supernatural missions." , have encountered so many dangerous crises, but today they were frightened to death by a painting. Not only did He Fei and others feel embarrassed, but the members of the Arab team headed by Abdullah also twitched the corners of their mouths and were very angry. Fortunately, It was just a false alarm, and there was just a non-dangerous portrait in front of them. Within a moment, everyone calmed down and was replaced by curiosity. 33
After looking at each other for a few times with his companions, Abdullah and others, He Fei raised his flashlight to observe the wall. He originally planned to take a closer look at the generals on the wall, but at this moment, something strange happened. Under the flashlight, he saw that the portrait was different from the naked eye. The visible speed disappeared quickly, and the paint that constructed the picture was dim and blurred in the crowd's gaze. The scene seemed weird, but in fact it was very scientific. Anyone with a little knowledge of chemistry could see the reason. It turned out that the picture was oxidizing and evaporating, and it grew longer. The closed environment that lasted for thousands of years allowed the portrait to be preserved to this day. However, as the door was opened and exposed to the air, the portrait naturally began to oxidize. After all, paint is not as easy to preserve as stone. This is true, but...
Seeing that the portrait was gradually disappearing due to oxidation, just when everyone felt pity, several lines of text came into view.
Yes, it is text, it is the few lines of text that began to appear as the portrait disappeared. As the portrait evaporated and gradually disappeared, the fonts appeared on the shadow wall. There is no doubt that these words themselves were carved on the shadow wall, but they were painted. The generals outside were just blocking it. Now that the portraits have oxidized and disappeared, these words that were deliberately hidden will be revealed again after thousands of years. The ancient seal characters carved with knives will obviously not disappear as easily as the portraits. As expected, after the portraits disappear, , the text comes into view.
"Eh? Words, look, there are words on the wall!".
Everyone who had just felt sorry for themselves regained their energy when they discovered that the words were exposed on the screen wall. They opened their eyes and looked carefully. There is no denying that these words are all ancient seal scripts that are difficult to understand, but if compared with modern words, they are still incomprehensible. There are similarities, but it is basically understandable. As far as the eye can see, the text is arranged in vertical rows. The specific content is:
The demon queen has usurped the country and brought chaos to the people, and the good brother Zhongshi is the reason for this. Even though there are no strangers in the ghost gate, it still makes you unable to rest.
The four lines of prophecy with a total of 28 words were clearly revealed to the eyes, and everyone was confused. At this moment, staring at this prophecy that was similar to poetry but not like poetry, He Fei had a strange expression in front of the wall. He subconsciously turned his head to look at others, only to He saw that everyone had different expressions. Among them, Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, and Tang Meng had expressions similar to his own. Peng Hu, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong, Tao Mei, and the newcomers all looked confused. On the contrary, Chen Xiaoyao and Monk He Huijue He put on a thoughtful look, and after everyone looked at each other for a few times, Peng Hu was still the most honest one. Without waiting for others to speak, the bald man touched his head and said first: "What is this written? It's a Tang poem. I can understand the first sentence. The Demon Queen usurped the country and brought chaos to the people. The Demon Queen definitely refers to Wu Zetian who usurped the Tang Dynasty. After usurping the throne, she brought the country into chaos and it can obviously be summarized as chaos. However, the following part What do the three sentences mean? Brother Zhongshi? Who is that?"
In fact, Peng Hu's current understanding is equal to the understanding of most people present, and as Chinese people, they can indeed easily understand the first and second half of the first sentence, but the following two and a half sentences are really unclear. Of course, as the saying goes, there is no worst, only worse. If the Chinese team is still struggling with the meaning of the prophecy, then the members of the Arab team headed by Abdullah simply can’t even understand it, although the curse has been given to the executor. They have the ability to communicate without barriers, but they are not given the ability to understand other countries' texts. Now faced with the text on the shadow wall, they can only act blindly. They turned back to look at their companions behind them, and saw Avis and others shaking their heads. , swallowed, Abdullah asked He Fei: "Um, um, brother He Fei, what is written on this wall?".
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you later."
He Fei didn't think that a group of foreigners could easily understand the poem he was pondering. After letting Abdullah calm down for a while, with some thoughts in mind, He Fei said to the crowd: "The first sentence is indeed easy to understand, Su. I heard that Wu Zetian was very scheming and good at calculations. He was able to use many conspiracy methods to achieve his goals. He had planned for many years and even usurped the country of Tang Dynasty. However, this person only knew conspiracy and did not know how to govern the country. In order to consolidate his power, he killed military generals indiscriminately during his reign. , provided an excellent opportunity for foreign invasion, and also used ruthless officials to exploit the people, causing the people to live in unrest and the world was in turmoil. It is often said that when a Taoist country is about to perish, there must be monsters. The Demon Queen was the derogatory name people hated for Wu Zetian at that time, and chaos among the people also refers to the Tang Dynasty. The prosperous age was destroyed in the hands of this demon queen, as for the second sentence..."
Having said this, He Fei paused briefly and saw everyone looking at him. He Fei did not explain immediately, but looked at Chen Xiaoyao: "Chen Xiaoyao, do you know who Zhong Shi is?"
"Hey, you've asked the right person, Pindao..."
"Amitabha, this poor monk knows a little bit about who Zhongshi is."
Seeing He Fei turn around to ask himself, Chen Xiaoyao, who seemed to have the answer, grinned. He was about to show off his knowledge of history. Unexpectedly, before he could explain, Hui Jue, who was next to him, clasped his hands and answered directly. Just like that, Chen Xiaoyao The furious look in his eyes explained unhurriedly: "The poor monk likes to read history books in his spare time and has dabbled in the humanities of the Tang Dynasty. Zhongshi is Li Chunfeng."
Li Chunfeng! ?
Not to mention, when Monk Huijue mentioned this, everyone who had been thinking hard just now understood it instantly. They all knew that the ancients liked to give themselves the word "Zi", and the word is the pronoun of the name. This is the same as Zhuge Liang's nickname "Kong Ming". , most of the ancient literati also liked to call each other by their names. It turns out that Zhongshi was Li Chunfeng. But, if Zhongshi was really Li Chunfeng, then what was the purpose of substituting Li Chunfeng into the prophecy? Also, the specific meanings of 'brother virtuous' at the front and 'for that reason' at the back are...
Thinking of this, He Fei looked at Hui Jue again, but this time Chen Xiaoyao obviously did not give the monk a chance. Before Hui Jue could speak, Chen Xiaoyao explained quickly as lightning: "Brother Xian naturally refers to the ancient literati's respect for the elders. A kind of honorific for friends, it is usually only used for friends with a very good relationship. 'Gu' was mostly used to replace the word "death" in ancient times. In fact, this second paragraph is also easy to understand, that is, good friend Li Chunfeng died, but Not a normal death, but death because of someone, or being killed by someone!".
As soon as Chen Xiaoyao said this, everyone, including He Fei, suddenly understood the meaning again. Some people who had thought more deeply also got the general idea through this matter. As expected, after quickly understanding the meaning, Cheng Ying frowned slightly. Ning Tan said: "Since Li Chunfeng did not die of illness as the history books said, but was killed by someone else, could it be that the person who killed him was..."
"No need to guess, it's Wu Zetian!"
Facing Cheng Ying's probing guess, Chen Xiaoyao on the opposite side simply nodded and told Wu Zetian directly. Seeing everyone was quite surprised, in order to prevent Huijue from taking the lead again, Chen Xiaoyao continued to explain without stopping and told everyone something related to Li Chunfeng. Hidden legend:
First of all, it is certain that Li Chunfeng is a real person in history, and he was also a court official during the Zhenguan period. As a master of metaphysics who is proficient in Yin and Yang and can even write prophecy books such as "Tui Bei Tu", it is impossible for Li Chunfeng to read The fortune of the Tang Dynasty cannot be guessed. In fact, when he was serving in Qintianjian, Li Chunfeng had privately calculated the fate of the country for the Tang Dynasty. It was the prosperous age of Zhenguan at that time. It stands to reason that such a prosperous country is destined to last for a long time. Unexpectedly, after calculation , Li Chunfeng discovered an ominous sign. The hexagrams showed that the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of prosperity and decline, and the cause of the decline of the country was the crow. A black crow came from the north, and the black air was about to envelope the Tang Dynasty. After divination, , although it was finally concluded that the Tang Dynasty was not exhausted, this crow could seriously weaken the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. A little carelessness could lead to the destruction of the country and the family. After drawing such a dangerous hexagram, Li Chunfeng committed suicide He was shocked. Although he did not dare to leak it, he told his friend Yuan Tiangang about the matter alone. Yuan Tiangang, who was also a master of metaphysics, also calculated the hexagram with frustrations, and the hexagram he came up with was exactly the same as Li Chunfeng!
And quite coincidentally...
Li Chunfeng calculated that the day when the crow flew and the national destiny was approaching was also the day when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty married his concubine!
A beautiful woman named Wu Zhao came from Bingzhou in the north and happened to arrive at the palace today! .
After learning about this matter, both Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two masters of metaphysics, believed that this woman was a evildoer who brought harm to the country. Even if the Tang Dynasty could not be destroyed in the future, it would definitely weaken the Tang Dynasty's national power. Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng was extremely anxious and felt grateful. Thanks to the kindness of Emperor Taizong, Li Chunfeng wanted to enter the palace to meet him, hoping that Taizong would kill the girl, but he was stopped by Yuan Tiangang. The reason given was very simple, that is, Taizong liked this beautiful and intelligent newly married concubine very much. Wu Zhao, who was very scheming, was indeed very popular with Taizong. If he tried to persuade him in a hurry, he would probably make Taizong angry and even get burned. In desperation, Li Chunfeng had to give up temporarily. This was true, but this matter also became a Li Chunfeng was worried about Li Chunfeng. Every time he saw the hexagram of the country's subjugation, Li Chunfeng had trouble sleeping and eating. Finally, he went to the prime minister Wei Zheng to tell him about the hexagram. Sure enough, when he learned from Li Chunfeng that Wu Zhao might overthrow the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng was shocked. That night Rushing to the palace to meet Taizong, the result was certain. As the famous minister who dared to speak out his advice the most in history, Wei Zheng was not afraid of anything. He directly remonstrated in front of Taizong and asked Taizong to kill Wu Zhao. By the way, he Li Chunfeng's hexagram of national subjugation was revealed. There was no denying that Wei Zheng's outspoken advice had a certain effect. Taizong himself was also quite scrupulous, but when he thought of Wu Zhao's charming appearance, Taizong still felt soft-hearted for a moment. In addition, this matter was just According to the divination results, without any evidence, even the emperor could not kill people indiscriminately, so he just sent Wu Zhao into the cold palace, neglecting this smart and beautiful concubine. Wei Zheng was relatively satisfied with this.
only……
As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. Although under the pressure of Prime Minister Wei Zheng, Taizong had to put Wu Zhao into the cold palace and neglect him, but why did Wu Zhao need anyone? She was always shrewd and immediately guessed that something was fishy. The emperor who originally doted on her would never suddenly neglect her or even send her into the cold palace. Because she understood this, Wu Zhao spent money to bribe the emperor's side. The palace maids and eunuchs finally learned the truth. It turned out that Wei Zheng actually told the emperor to kill him! The reason was that he believed Li Chunfeng's so-called hexagram, saying that he was the evildoer who destroyed the Tang Dynasty. After learning this, Wu Zhao hated Wei Zheng and Li Chunfeng with all his heart, but now he was in the cold palace. How could she, who was powerless, deal with two ministers of the DPRK? Especially Wei Zheng, not to mention that she is just a miserable concubine in the cold palace now. Even if she ascends the throne of the queen, she will never be able to overthrow Wei Zheng. The emperor's trust in Wei Zheng is unprecedented. In fact, it is based on the emperor's absolute trust in Wei Zheng. I believe that she, Wu Zhao, would be reduced to the status of living in the cold palace. If she wanted to truly remove or even dispose of an important minister like Wei Zheng at will, there is only one answer, and that is to gain power and become the supreme ruler of the entire world! .
As long as she can gain power, she can do anything, and all those who threaten her ability to reach the peak of power can be eliminated!
From then on, Wu Zhao began to forbear and secretly hid his hatred for Wei Zheng and Li Chunfeng in his heart. Until Taizong died and Gaozong ascended the throne, Wu Zhao waited for an opportunity and used his beautiful appearance and shrewd scheming to defeat Gaozong. She was fascinated by her, and then successfully gained Gaozong's favor, and was soon made a queen. However, even after becoming a queen, Wu Zhao was still not satisfied. Taking advantage of Gaozong's favor and Gaozong's weak character who lacked independent opinions, Wu Zhao began to interfere. Government affairs, and gradually cultivated cronies. The pleasure of gaining power made Wu Zhao intoxicated. At the same time, she also thought of her enemies again. Unfortunately, Wei Zheng had already passed away by then, so Wu Zhao targeted Li Chunfeng for revenge.
Two days later, Li Chunfeng, who was originally in good health, suddenly fell ill at home and passed away. .
Li Chunfeng's death from illness did not cause many waves in the court. After all, the Qintian Prison was not considered a confidential department in the court. The court only awarded him an official post as usual and sent people to express condolences. It was also known to the world that Li Chunfeng died of illness. It seemed that It passed, but Yuan Tiangang, who was Li Chunfeng's best friend, knew that something was fishy. In other words, he knew this outcome a few days ago!
That night, Yuan Tiangang was drinking tea at the home of his friend Li Chunfeng. During the chat, Li Chunfeng casually calculated his longevity, and unexpectedly the result was that his death was approaching! It is said that his family knows his own affairs. It is clear that Li Chunfeng is in good health, but he has come up with the divination that he will die soon. When he thinks of the woman who has taken control of the power in the palace, Li Chunfeng smiles openly and just asks Yuan Tiangang to hurry up. He resigned and left the capital, and stayed at home to face it calmly. As expected, just a few days later, Yuan Tiangang received the news that his friend Li Chunfeng had died of illness. After paying tribute to his friend, Yuan Tiangang immediately resigned and left. The capital remained anonymous. A few years later, the Tang Dynasty experienced sudden changes, the throne was replaced, and the woman finally reached the pinnacle of power.
"How's it going? Now you know the specific meaning of this prophecy, right?"
At this moment, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's unknown legend, everyone nodded frequently, and this time Chen Shuihong reacted the fastest. Without waiting for others to speak, the fat man pointed at the words and suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, even if Li Chunfeng was killed. Wu Zetian was assassinated and died, so what does it mean by 'even if there are no strangers in the ghost gate, it will make you miserable'?"
The fat man's curious inquiry naturally did not faze Chen Xiaoyao, who had fully understood the four prophecies. Seeing Chen Shuihong talking about the key points, and seeing He Fei and others looking at him and touching his nose, Chen Xiaoyao said again: "I just said Those before could only be regarded as stories, belonging to folklore whose authenticity was unknown. However, after seeing this prophecy, I now understand that it is not a legend, but something that actually happened. As for the last two sentences... …That’s the hatred coming from the person who wrote it.”
"As expected, this four-line prophecy was carved by Yuan Tiangang himself!"
As the saying goes, no one is immortal in the world. The same is true for the common people, and the same is true for the emperor. Although Wu Zetian finally ascended to Dabao and became the emperor, she offended too many people after all. From the high-ranking officials to the common people, everyone in the world hated her. Deep into the bones, it is true that when she was alive, she held great power and no one dared to touch it, but once she died, she would be retaliated against, and the worst revenge would be to have her grave dug up, her coffin opened, and her body whipped. Because she had foreseen this in advance, In order to prevent the grave from being dug after her death, Wu Zetian spread the news before her death and threatened to be buried with Gao Zong after her death. However, she secretly had the idea of burying her somewhere else. Of course, the world is not all fools, and there must be evil in the world. Few smart people could guess that she was in a maze, and would search for her burial mausoleum in the future. Thinking of this, Wu Zetian was frightened. During this period, she also accidentally remembered Li Chunfeng, who had been assassinated by him before. Thinking of Li Chunfeng, Wu Zetian was actually I admire her in my heart, because it was Li Chunfeng who calculated that Wu Zhao would destroy the Tang Dynasty. Now she is plotting to usurp the throne and change the country's name. In fact, it has perfectly fulfilled Li Chunfeng's hexagram. While I admire her, I can't help but regret in my heart. I regret why I did it. To kill this person, if not, with Li Chunfeng's peerless ability to understand yin and yang, he would be able to find an auspicious dragon's lair for her, and at the same time, he could also design a hidden tomb for her that cannot be stolen. It is a pity that There is no regret medicine in the world. Every time she thinks about this, Wu Zetian will always feel regretful. It is true to say that, but soon Wu Zetian thinks of something. She thinks of one person, another master of metaphysics who is almost as good as Li Chunfeng...
Yuan Tiangang!
Yes, it was Yuan Tiangang. After Li Chunfeng died, Yuan Tiangang resigned and went into hiding. No one knew whether he was dead. So, with a glimmer of hope, Wu Zetian sent people around to inquire about Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts. In the end, Yuan Tiangang, who wanted to live the rest of his life anonymously, was found. Then he was forced by Wu Zetian to find the Feng Shui dragon vein for him. At the same time, he was forced to serve as the chief designer of Diling. Unlike Li Chunfeng, who was indifferent to life and death. Fearless, Yuan Tiangang was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have dissuaded Li Chunfeng back then. Even though he was now nearly 70 years old, he was no longer afraid of death. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian used his family as a threat. In order to save the lives of his children and grandchildren, Yuan Tiangang could only Compromise, although compromise is a fact, but...
Thinking of his close friend Li Chunfeng who was assassinated and died, Yuan Tiangang's long-suppressed anger completely burst out, and he hated Wu Zetian deeply!
Who is Yuan Tiangang? He is a master of metaphysics who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and can easily understand any Feng Shui mystery.
Therefore, relying on his extraordinary ability to understand yin and yang, Yuan Tiangang set up a trap for Wu Zetian. Although on the surface he found a perfect dragon cave that even many Feng Shui experts believed to be excellent, it was actually a place that would change over time. The Evil Dragon's Yin Cave. Anyone buried here, if their soul does not enter the Yin Division after death, will be trapped in the Yin Cave and tortured, even if they are not able to escape for hundreds of millions of years!
Not only that, during the construction of the mausoleum, in order to vent his anger, Yuan Tiangang secretly carved a deliberately hidden curse on the mausoleum. It was this four-line prophecy in front of him!
The demon queen usurped the country and brought chaos to the people, and the good brother Zhongshi was the reason for it. Even though there are no strangers in the ghost gate, it still makes you miserable. The meaning of the word: You, Wu Zetian, conspired to usurp the throne and brought disaster to the country and the people, and even killed my best friend, so you will After receiving retribution, your soul will not go to the underworld after death, but will be trapped in the tomb and unable to be reincarnated, and will be tortured by the Yin Qi forever!
Some people died, but not completely...
