However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Not long after Liu Yu built the Beifu Tomb, he died of illness. At the time of his death, only two years had passed since he paid tribute to the Yin soldiers of Beifu. In such a short period of time, it was too late to reorganize the troops, let alone another Northern Expedition. He was buried in the Beifu Cenotaph with regret.
Although Liu Yu died, his successors inherited his will for the Northern Expedition. About eight years later, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong began to organize the Yuanjia Northern Expedition.
This time, Liu Song and the Northern Wei Dynasty basically had a draw after several conflicts. The territory did not change much, and it was considered to be back to before the war.
After that, the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen of the Southern Dynasties organized many Northern Expeditions, which were hastily and anonymously, and were eventually swallowed up by the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, the Southern and Northern Dynasties also completely withdrew from the stage of history, ushering in the era of the unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After Song Siyuan introduced the information she found, Yue Guanchao looked at her: "So that means Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu was indeed buried in Shennongjia?"
She nodded and continued to explain: "The information we are looking for is partly from Xiangyang Chronicles and Shishuoxinyu. Among them, Xiangyang Chronicles records the crossing of Yin soldiers and the legend of the Wushan goddess, and does not involve the Northern Expedition of the Liu Song Dynasty. , only this part of "Shishuo Xinyu" records Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition and his sacrifice to the Yin soldiers of Beifu."
"Coincidentally, the author of this book is Liu Yiqing, who is also the author of the "History of Scholars of the Southern Dynasties" we got from Jin Pavilion Lao. This person's identity is Liu Yu's nephew. This "Shishuoxinyu" records It describes the thoughts of the people and the situation of the ruling class in the Southern Dynasties, and shows the social style of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This story is included in the volume of virtue, and it affirms the achievements of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu through the theory of ghosts and gods."
"I guess!" Song Siyuan looked at them: "Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty offered sacrifices to the Yin soldiers of the Beifu. Liu Yiqing compiled this story into Shishuoxinyu. It was probably to build momentum for the second Northern Expedition, or he did it under Liu Yilong's order, or else, Just to please Liu Yilong, this person behaves like this just to save his life..."
This man is Liu Yu's nephew and Liu Yilong's cousin. In his early years, he followed Liu Yu to attack the north. He is considered a descendant of Liu Yu's clan who is treated with great courtesy.
After Liu Yu's death in the Northern Expedition, he left the country of Liu Song Dynasty in the hands of Liu Yifu, the young emperor of Song Dynasty. This man was young and liked to travel. He was not interested in state affairs, national funerals, or court affairs at all. He only liked feasting and entertainment, and he became more and more interested in it. Due to extravagance, the auxiliary ministers Xu Xianzhi and Tan Daoji had no choice but to use the empress dowager's order to depose the throne and at the same time support Liu Yu's third son Liu Yilong as emperor.
It was when Liu Yilong saw the young emperor's dethronement that he paid special attention to accumulating prestige. At the same time, he was also very taboo about deposing the throne again and began to kill the closest clan members, heroes, and court officials.
Liu Yiqing was in the capital at this time and was in good health. In order to avoid the disaster, he asked himself to leave the capital under the pretense of a conflict in the astrology. Then he left the capital to take up a post in another place to avoid Liu Yilong's suspicion.
It was also under this circumstance that Liu Yiqing invited celebrities and literati to compile "Shishuo Xinyu" in his foreign post. During this period, Liu Yilong's first Yuanjia Northern Expedition failed, and even directly changed the existing text Part of the territory was lost.
The failure of this Northern Expedition was a major blow to his prestige. If he wanted to organize a second Northern Expedition, he had to boost morale and make a name for himself.
This article appeared in Shishuo Xinyu, and it was based on the fact that Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty successfully offered sacrifices to the heroes of the Northern Expedition during the first Northern Expedition. In fact, it was serving the purpose of the second Northern Expedition. In the atmosphere where the Southern and Northern Dynasties talked about metaphysics, it was considered to be based on the theory of ghosts and gods. It created a reputation for the Northern Expedition, and at the same time, it also boosted morale by saying that heroic souls are waiting for good news.
After describing her speculation, Song Siyuan continued: "Based on the contents of Xuanshu Iron Paper, Xiangyang local chronicles, and Shishuo Xinyu, we can probably restore Liu Yu's intention to bury himself in Shennongjia, just for the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition. Rather than actually offering sacrifices to the heroes of Beifu, there is still doubt as to whether he really put the fish in the tomb."
"At least what is certain is that around the end of Liu Yu's reign, there was a large-scale crossing of Yin soldiers near Shennongjia. This incident was recorded in Xiangyang local chronicles. At the same time, this incident was also used by Liu Yiqing to use the theory of ghosts and gods as a Liu Yilong built momentum for the Northern Expedition, and this has been passed down to the present through historical records."
She paused and her tone became mysterious: "As for whether the Yin soldiers crossing the border are true, it is too far away from that era. The ancients were good at using ghosts and gods to explain the unknown. It is estimated that there are many embellished descriptions. If it really existed at that time, Probably, there is some special world in Shennongjia itself."
"Looking at it this way, our guess is completely wrong. Perhaps, the maze-like space in Shennongjia was not formed by the fish pendant, but existed before. Later, Liu Yilong's Feng Shui master observed this state and thought it was It was Yin Bing who caused trouble, and that’s why he set up an altar to sacrifice Yin Bing.”
"Afterwards, he probably brought the fish pendants into the Tomb of Heroes. These things partially changed the environment of Shennongjia, forming the landscape we hear today."
At this point, Liu Yu's Beifu Tomb of Heroes was basically confirmed in Shennongjia. Song Siyuan asked again: "So, have you found a way this time?"
Yue Guanchao took a long breath and shook his head: "There is no progress, the Fish God is nagging, he only said that Boss Hua is the disciple appointed by the Fish God himself..."
Yue Guanchao made a long story short and told her roughly about Yu Gu and their plans. Song Siyuan listened to the whole story and had to sigh: "Boss Hua still has this life experience, but is what Yu Gu said right? What did Tan Yanqiu say?"
Xu Xiake said: "Boss Tan doesn't really believe what Yu Gu said, but before she left, Yu Gu told us that if we want to verify what she said, we can see Master Luo Shen in person. Taoist Cui of Dragon King Temple is good at This, I guess, will notify us soon to watch Luoyin."
Song Siyuan listened to Guan Luoyin's introduction and asked curiously: "Guan Luoyin is also called Luoshen. Is the Luoshen technique recorded in Xiangyang local chronicles the same thing?"
Yue Guanchao didn't know this for the time being, and shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Sun Daqiao said that Guanluoyin is a way of asking questions south of the river, just like the dancing master in the Northeast. I think, since it has been passed down for so long The time is probably just a matter of title, but in reality it’s still the same thing as Wu Zhu’s channeling.”
"If that's the case, when these Feng Shui masters visited the Yin soldiers in the Liu Song Dynasty, it was probably the goddess who used Guan Luoyin to take them to the underworld or the underworld."
"Then, is it possible that the space where these Yin soldiers are located really is some kind of underworld?"
When Song Siyuan mentioned this, everyone couldn't help but feel numb. Combined with what Sun Daqiao said about the strange phenomenon in Shennongjia, everyone would move closer to the Yin soldiers.
"It doesn't have to be the underworld."
Sun Daqiao narrowed his eyes and continued to explain: "Do you know about the Paradise of Cave Heaven?"
"Although this thing is a myth and legend, some people have indeed seen such a place. When I was working as a concierge in Fengtian, I once heard a businessman from Yundian mention the sinkhole in their place!"
Everyone heard that it was related to the Cave Heaven Paradise, so they moved their benches and listened carefully to the old man's story.
Fengtian opened its port late, but its reputation is greater than other places. In addition, it is far away from Tsarist Russia, and many foreign merchants do business. Of course, there are also merchants from all over the world to gather goods and socialize.
This Yundian businessman was named Qiu Laishun. When he came, he brought Yundian's dry goods, mushrooms and furs. Seeing that he was in bad luck, he came to see Sun Daqiao to see what was going on, and the two of them met.
According to Qiu Laishun, this place in Yunnan is wild and primitive. The virgin forest is located in the tropics. It has many mountains and dense forests and is inaccessible. Few living people can survive in the primitive forest.
If you want to find out the reasons, firstly, there are few people here and the space is large. There are no places where people live, and wild animals are raging and causing mischief. Secondly, there are no roads, so it is not convenient to walk and buy. If you want to break the casserole, let’s ask the third point. There are many local people. I will tell you that people cannot compete with "Tiankengzi" for territory.
Tiankengzi, as the locals call it, actually refers to the blessed land of cave heaven. Such places are often inhabited by mountain spirits, wild monsters, gods, Buddhas and heavenly beings. They are not easily seen by the world, but at certain times, living people will appear in certain places. conditions, see these places.
When Naqiu Laishun was young, he was a gold miner in Yunnan and other places. There are many gold mines in the primeval forests along the Jinsha River. In order to make a profit, many mine owners will dig mining pits in deep mountains and old forests as much as possible. These places are far away from cities and towns. Of course, there are countless strange things encountered in Damilin.
The most amazing thing is undoubtedly the encounter with Tiankengzi!
These sinkholes are not fixed. Sometimes they may appear on the edge of a cliff, sometimes in the forest, or even beside the road.
People may inadvertently see the tiankeng and the many magical things that exist in the tiankeng. After a blink of an eye, and then take a closer look, they find that the tiankeng has disappeared. The surrounding areas should be mountains or mountains, or the earth. Still, it seemed as if the real feelings just now were all hallucinations.
If this is an illusion, it is unlikely that several people can see it. In fact, the places where these people saw the sinkhole are completely different. Some old miners are well-informed and will say that they have encountered a sinkhole.
If such a sinkhole appeared in a mine, it would be a big deal. No matter how big the hole the mine owner made, he couldn't even try to transport the gold sand out of the hole. As long as he dared to transport it out, there would definitely be mine collapse and ground collapse. There is such a thing as rising water.
There was once a mine owner who dug a mine in the deep mountains and dug directly into the underground river bed. When they entered the place, they found that there were many ancient pavilions scattered on the underground river bed, as if the town was in order, but this area The town has been abandoned for hundreds of years and is full of ruins.
As they walked along the town to the river, the riverbed was dotted with many large shiny beads, as big as fists and as small as eyes, just like stars scattered across the riverbed, which were even brighter than lanterns when held up.
I heard from the old miner that this thing is the sweat drop left by the dragon after it transformed into a dragon. Although it is not as precious as the luminous pearl, it is still a rare thing and can be used as a lampstand at night!
