Chapter 18 Golden Dragon Turtle
() The water from the pond poured into the iron gate. A long corridor was pitch black at the bottom of the deep water. Xiao Lianshan swam in first. Chu Tianci rubbed the pond for a long time, and the vague words of Gu Anqi kept echoing in his mind.
"Don't go in."
Perhaps the one who designed and arranged the Dujuan Crying Blood Bureau must be a master of Feng Shui and Geography. What is the altar below for? Chu Tianci's heart is like being caught by a cat. Curiosity sometimes has nothing to do with reason. Chu Tianci gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and jumped into the pond.
Swimming through the dark corridor, the light gradually became bright above his head. Chu Tianci swam towards the place where there was light. When he poked his head out, he just used up his breath. He took a deep breath in the water, wiped the water on his face, and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.
The pond and the underground altar are actually parallel, connected by a corridor in the middle, and the corridor layer is u-shaped, so the water in the pond will not flow back into the altar, and it covers the entrance very well. It can be said that the design is seamless, no wonder Liu Hao dug here for several months but still couldn't find the entrance.
Xiao Lianshan pulled himself out of the water. Slim iron sheets hung around the altar, filled with lamp oil, lit one, and the entire altar was brightly lit.
Chu Tianci used his fingers to dip a little lamp oil and smelled it, and his brows frowned.
"The altar is illuminated with corpse oil! What a great hatred is this."
The altar is so big that it is completely beyond Chu Tianci's imagination. The suburban villa that Yue Leiting has always been proud of is already big enough, with a total of more than 300 square meters. However, if it is placed here, twenty of them may not be as big as the altar.
The altar layer is rectangularly distributed, and a stone road directly passes through the main hall. On both sides of the passage are stone figurines holding swords and arrows. The costumes of the stone figurines should be soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. Although the stone figurines have stood here for thousands of years, they are still preserved and vivid, with majestic expressions and vivid shapes. Standing next to the stone figurines, you feel like you are back to the Ming Dynasty.
After walking through the passage, I came to the courtyard in the middle. There was a huge stone table with a picture carved on it. Chu Tianci took the torch from Xiao Lianshan's hand and looked carefully for a long time. It was the mountain topography map on the altar. One of the mountains was dyed red. The mountain topography map was a star map. Chu Tianci could easily identify that this was the star map of the Big Dipper. As he had speculated, the mountain behind the altar pointed to Wuquxing, and the mountain dyed red se, which is now Wangguya just faced Ziwei Emperor Star.
There is a line of characters on the carved picture. Chu Tianci wiped away the dust on it and saw eight large seal script characters soberly.
"The cuckoo weeps blood, and the country is defeated and the king is gone."
Xiao Lianshan smiled happily and said to Chu Tianci.
"Brother, it's really a Dujuan Crying Blood Bureau. You are so amazing. Just stand on it and look at it for a few seconds."
Chu Tianci patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Actually, I want to know who this unlucky emperor is now."
Walking through the main hall where he came from the courtyard, Chu Tianci and Xiao Lianshan were stunned. In front of them was a general holding a sword with one hand and sitting majestic with his right knee, sitting on the tiger's eyes and dragon beard without anger. The statue was as high as three floors, so Chu Tianci could only look up at it.
Two lines of words are engraved on the stone pillars on both sides.
After death, there is no worries about the brave general;
The loyal soul still guards Liaodong.
After reading these two lines, Chu Tianci suddenly looked up at the huge statue of the general and muttered to himself.
"Is this general... Yuan... Yuan Chonghuan!"
"Brother, there is a sign here, come and have a look." Xiao Lianshan shouted from the side.
Chu Tianci walked over and there was a pitch-black sign under the huge stone statue. The characters on it were already blurred because they were far away by the end of the year, and only a few could be vaguely identified.
"There is... I can't see the word clearly. Yuan... Jun still can't see it clearly. Zhi, Ling... I can't see the one behind me." Xiao Lianshan buried his head and looked at it for a long time before he could hardly recognize a few words.
"There is the spiritual throne of General Yuan of the Ming Dynasty!" Chu Tianci was shocked and involuntarily took a step back. "This is indeed a statue of Yuan Chonghuan, then...then this altar, worship...that is General Yuan Chonghuan."
Looking at the altar again and thinking about the Feng Shui pattern outside, Chu Tianci suddenly laughed. He wanted to know who this emperor was, who was punished, and who had such great resentment. He would rather destroy the country and the family than kill the emperor.
It turned out to be Chongzhen!
Anyone who learns numerology and physiognomy in the birth dates and horoscopes of emperors, generals and ministers in all dynasties is familiar with the birth dates and horoscopes. Chu Tianci calculated with his left hand and smiled faintly for a moment.
"What a powerful Du Juan weeping blood. Chongzhen can obviously survive for seven or eight years, but Wu Qu defeated Ziwei, Wu Sangui led Qing troops into the pass, Dorgon was Wu Quxing and approached the Forbidden City, Greedy Wolf is like the Palace of Life, Li Zicheng is Greedy Wolf, and conquered the capital and forced Chongzhen to death."
"Yuan Chonghuan! Brother, Yuan Chonghuan is a great hero, but he died too unfairly. When I was a child, I heard from the old man at the entrance of the village that Yuan Chonghuan was mistakenly believed in slander by the emperor and was cut into pieces and executed by Lingchi."
Xiao Lianshan has always respected heroes. After Chu Tianci said that the huge stone statue in front of him was Yuan Chonghuan. Without thinking, he knelt in front of the stone statue and kowtowed three respectfully.
Chu Tianci remembered Gu Anqi's advice again not to come in, and tried every means to dig out the books he was looking for here. He frowned and looked up at Yuan Chonghuan's statue in confusion, and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"Is that rumor...is that true? That book really exists?"
"Brother, you said that this emperor is a man, and there is no loyalty. If Yuan Chonghuan is not killed by accident, the Qing army may not be able to come in." Xiao Lianshan did not notice the strange expression on Chu Tianci's face.
"How many people are idiots who can be emperors? No matter how stupid Chongzhen is, he is not so stupid that he can only be outstanding if he kills Yuan Chonghuan because of a few rumors..."
"Brother, what do you mean? Is there any other reason why the emperor killed General Yuan?"
Chu Tianci smiled faintly and said in a low voice.
"I'll tell you when I go back, but it's just a rumor. I've been in Feng Shui and Nutrition for more than a thousand years, and I don't know if it's true."
Xiao Lianshan looked around, and the main hall was solemn and quiet. Apart from the huge stone statues and spirit cards, there was nothing else.
"Brother, there is nothing here. I don't know what it's use to dig in with such a big effort."
"This is an altar, not an ancient tomb. Of course, there is no thing Brother Ting wants. Let's look carefully and see if there are any books." Chu Tianci said.
Xiao Lianshan nodded and looked around Yuan Chonghuan's statue carefully but found nothing. Suddenly, he touched the stone statue and said with a smile.
"Brother, you really don't know that Feng Shui and numerology are really evil. Put down this cuckoo crying blood. According to the text above, cuckoo crying blood. The country will be destroyed and the king will be defeated. The emperor's old man not only failed to save the country, but also left the coal mountain alone."
"The cuckoo cries blood and is a Feng Shui bureau formed by the seventh game of the Shangyuan Qiufengyin in Qimen Dunjia. This bureau is extremely difficult to arrange, and it must have a coordinated terrain, and at the same time..."
When Xiao Lianshan heard the sound of Chu Tianci was gone, he walked out from behind the statue and saw Chu Tianci standing parallel to the statue. He looked back at the statue from time to time, then adjusted his position, imitating the statue of Yuan Chonghuan, holding a hand, just in the same direction as the sword that Yuan Chonghuan was holding.
Xiao Lianshan walked over and stood behind Chu Tianci. From this angle, Chu Tianci's hand was pointing at a stone wall.
"As soon as I came in, I felt that the statue was strange. The altar should be worshipped by Yuan Chonghuan, and it should be peaceful and solemn. How could there be weapons such as weapons in hand?" Chu Tianci smiled happily on his face.
When Xiao Lianshan walked to the front of the stone wall, there was a decorative stone sculpture with nine irregularly arranged dots on it, connected together in a straight line, shaped like a spoon, and a stone dragon coiled on the spoon and sang its teeth and claws.
"Brother, this spoon...I look familiar to me."
"Haha, this is the Big Dipper, of course you look familiar with it."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's the Big Dipper. I've seen it somewhere. Brother, what does this dragon plate mean on it?"
"This is called the Dragon Chain Seven Stars, which means that the stars in the sky assist the emperor in achieving hegemony."
Xiao Lianshan nodded, thought about it and frowned again.
"Brother, it's not right. You said this is the altar to revitalize the Dujuan Crying Blood Bureau. This is to want the emperor's life. Why are there any stone carvings with dragons entangled seven stars?"
Chu Tianci also realized when he heard this. The seven stars of Longzang are a good omen of the emperor, which means that the flying dragon is in the sky and that all things are convinced. This is Yuan Chonghuan's altar. There will be no stone carvings to pray for Chongzhen. I looked at the pattern on it carefully.
The stone dragon swayed around the seven stars and roared proudly in the nine heavens, and the dragon head faced eastward just facing the Ziwei Emperor Star.
"This is right, the dragon entangles the seven stars, the purple qi comes from the east..." Chu Tianci murmured to himself, and suddenly was stunned. "The purple qi comes from the east, the purple qi comes from the east...is not...haha, it's not the east...!"
Xiao Lianshan was shocked when he saw Chu Tianci's nagging look.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? What's the East?"
"The dragon entangled seven-star dragon head is going east, because purple qi comes east and just protects the Ziwei Emperor Star. The dragon head of the dragon entangled seven-star dragon is like the west, and the direction is opposite!"
After Chu Tianci said that, he put his hand on the dragon head and moved it gently. The dragon head was indeed moving. Chu Tianci tried hard to go east and turned the dragon head over. Suddenly, the earth in the main hall shook, the stone slabs in front of the huge stone statue slowly separated, and a disc rose.
"Brother, there is something!" Xiao Lianshan said excitedly.
Chu Tianci was also a little excited and walked over carefully. In the middle of the disc was a dragon turtle, with its feet as big as a palm, with a dragon head roaring at the sky, and its body was full of life, with golden yellow shining under the flames. You can tell at a glance that it was made of pure gold.
Next to the dragon turtle was something wrapped in oil paper. Chu Tianci carefully opened it. When he opened the last layer of oil paper, Chu Tianci was so surprised that he couldn't help but mouth a big mouth.
An intact, yellowed ancient book lies quietly in oil paper.
Chapter completed!
