Whose tomb could it be? There is only one person in the world who has ever had a Feng Shui pattern that is higher than Nine Lions Worshiping Elephants, and that is Zhu Yuanzhang and his father!
But Mr. Xie Chuanyin would not deliberately ask me such a simple question.
It's just that I couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, so I had to tell the truth what I knew.
After hearing this, Xie Chuanyin sneered, and then asked me, do you know where Zhu Yuanzhang is from?
Because of my university major, I know a lot about history, so I know that Zhu Yuanzhang was from Zhongli in Haozhou, which is now Fengyang, Anhui.
Xie Chuanyin asked again, do you know how far it is to get here from Fengyang, Anhui?
Although I majored in liberal arts, I only know the general location of each province. I really don’t know the specific distance between the two places. However, a rough estimate is that the distance between the two places is at least three to four hundred kilometers.
Xie Chuanyin said, three to four hundred kilometers, which is about eight hundred miles away, do you think Zhu Chong could bury his father Zhu Wusi (also known as Zhu Shizhen) here with his financial resources?
Don't even think about it. Before Zhu Chongba became emperor, poor people had to become monks to survive. How could he have the financial strength to pay for his father's funeral?
There are also relevant records in unofficial history. It is said that after Zhu Wusi died, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to place Zhu Wusi's body in a cave because he was unable to hold funeral arrangements for him. As a result, the cave collapsed as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the cave. , just buried Zhu Wusi inside.
It is precisely because of this record in unofficial history that later generations have spread that Zhu Yuanzhang's father was a real "sky burial".
Regardless of whether this wild history is true or false, it at least proves that it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to move his father's body all the way from Fengyang, Anhui to Xiejia Village.
So, it’s not Zhu Yuanzhang’s father who is buried here? If this is the case, then although the Feng Shui pattern of "Zombie Living in Dragon View" is higher than Nine Lions Worshiping Elephants, it is still not the top one?
Xie Chuanyin ignored my speculation and told me that although Zhu Chongba had no way to bury his father's body here at the time, what if his father had come here by himself before he was alive?
It is indeed possible. After all, it is much more convenient for a living person to come here on his own than to have someone carry his coffin after death. And there is no need to pay any money, you can come all the way begging.
However, Zhu Wusi is just an ordinary farmer, with a whole family waiting for him to support him. How could he abandon his family and travel nearly a thousand miles to come to this place?
Xie Chuanyin said, do you really think Zhu Wusi is just an ordinary farmer?
Hearing this, I was startled and thought, could it be that Zhu Wusi is actually an unworldly expert? If this is the case, it can explain why he abandoned his wife and children and traveled thousands of miles to come to this place - because he wanted to seek a great fortune for his descendants.
And obviously, he succeeded. Not only did his Zhu family turn around, but he also made his son the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. This method is probably even more generous than Bai Qi's back then, right?
But then again, whether in official history or unofficial history, Zhu Yuanzhang's father has never been heard of as an accomplished craftsman.
Xie Chuanyin said, are you talking nonsense? If you were Zhu Chongba, would you tell everyone in the world that you became emperor only because your father was buried well?
Although I knew this possibility was slim, I still put myself in their shoes and thought about it:
If I were really Zhu Yuanzhang, I would definitely not make this secret public. Because I won the throne through this. If others find out about it and go to see the corpse in the dragon's place, wouldn't my throne be in danger?
Not to mention that there are no records in official and unofficial history, even if there are rumors about this matter, I will definitely send troops to suppress it, and I must silence everyone who knows about it, so that I can sleep peacefully.
Not only that, I will also block the pens of the world's literati, not only not allowing them to write books directly describing this matter, even if it is an insinuation, it will not work.
Xie Chuanyin responded to me very appreciatively, and then asked me, so you should know by now, why after Zhu Chongba became the old emperor, he creatively established the East and West factories, and in the last years of his life, he wanted to create a "literary prison" 'Kamai?
When I heard this, I was suddenly stunned, and then my pupils dilated, as if I had been struck by lightning. Isn't the factory security system meant to monitor all officials and the world in order to silence everyone? Isn't the "literary prison" the pen that seals the world's literati?
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I was completely stunned. I had never thought that the factory guard system and literary inquisition of the Ming Dynasty would be closely related to the Feng Shui pattern of "the corpse lives in the dragon's view".
I think, not just me, but anyone else, if they hadn’t heard Xie Chuanyin’s remarks, it would have been absolutely impossible to connect the two things.
This is really shocking and hard to accept. Even when I first heard that Bai Qi had killed 450,000 people in a living corpse pit, made thousands of rats worshiping graves, and made a red moon, I had never been so shocked.
So, is Zhu Chongba and his father Zhu Wusi really a skilled craftsman?
Xie Chuanyin said that it is impossible to tell whether he is a craftsman or not.
I was immediately confused. Let me tell you, you said just now that he is not an ordinary farmer. Why are you saying you are not sure now? Aren't you inconsistent?
Xie Chuanyin said, I only said that he was not an ordinary farmer, but which of your ears heard me say that he was a craftsman?
Although you didn't say that, judging from the underlying meaning of your words, isn't that what you meant? Besides, you can’t tell for sure, so why are you staying here in Immortal Ridge? Feeling lonely?
Besides, after talking for a long time, I didn’t even mention why people of your generation faked their own deaths. I think you just want to bury me alive to death, so that I can be your companion here so that I can chat with you when you are bored.
I know that Xie Chuanyin saw through the complaints in my heart, but he automatically blocked them and talked about himself. Although I am not sure whether he is a craftsman, there is one thing for sure, that is, 'Nine Corpses Worship the Statue' There may be several, but this Feng Shui pattern of "Zombie Living in Dragon View" is the only one in the world.
Since there is only one, what else is there to say? This must be the tomb of Zhu Chongba and his father. And his father must be a skilled craftsman.
Xie Chuanyin said that it was certain that this was the tomb of Zhu Chongba's father, but he could not tell whether his father was a craftsman or not.
Let me tell you, there is nothing certain about this. If he hadn't found this place by himself, who was proficient in craftsmanship, it wouldn't have been someone else who pointed out Zhu Wusi and asked him to come here, right? How can there be such a good person in this world? The emperor who is so good should not do it himself, but just give it to others?
Xie Chuanyin said, what if there was something better than being an emperor?
In ancient times, what could be better than being an emperor? Why do I not believe it so much?
Xie Chuanyin smiled disdainfully, and then said only two words: longevity.
