Chapter 333 Long Live Yuanbao
"It was you who killed Zhang Mei!" Li Sumei, who had regained consciousness, opened her frightened eyes and yelled at Meng Chong.
Meng Chong quickly pressed Li Sumei's mouth, his face flushed, and he said anxiously: "Su Mei, speak softly, don't let outsiders hear."
Li Sumei was trembling, hiding her face and crying.
Meng Chong suddenly knelt in front of Li Sumei: "Su Mei, I love you! Everything I did was for you. After killing Zhang Mei, I also regretted it very much, but the big mistake has been made and I can't do it anymore.
Save it. Sumei, I beg you not to leave me, let alone expose me. The two of us beg dad to settle this matter, and then we can live a good life and love each other for the rest of our lives."
Li Sumei didn't answer, but just cried. Li Banxian sneered in his heart: "Meng Chong, you are so powerful, and now you come to act like this in front of me. It's a pity that even though the devil is as tall as the devil, you still fall into my scheme!"
Li Banxian pulled up the crying Li Sumei with a serious look on his face, and sighed: "Sumei, the matter has come to this, it is useless for you to blame Chong'er. I will try my best to drive away Zhang Mei's ghost. I am the only one."
Daughter, I didn’t want you to get married, and my husband will be taken away by the police as a murderer. What’s even more frightening is that Chong’er only has twenty-four days left before Zhang Mei’s ghost can seek his life.”
Meng Chong bowed to Li Banxian several times with tears in his eyes. With the persuasion of Weng and his son-in-law, Li Sumei finally calmed down and stopped sobbing.
Li Banxian pretended to calculate for a long time, beat his chest and said: "Chong'er, your dead daughter-in-law Zhang Mei had a very bad fate. After her death, the resentment lingered on, absorbing the essence of the moonlight in the mountains, and it has formed.
Evil spirit. You went to her grave and burned the paper computer, and then her innocent soul who was lost in Chenling found you."
When Meng Chong heard this, his face turned pale and he regretted it beyond words.
Li Banxian calculated for a while and said: "Twenty-eight days later, it will be the night of the full moon, when the Yin Qi is at its strongest. On this day, Zhang Mei's wronged soul will turn into a fierce ghost and demand his life from you. Even Daluo Jinxian
If you show up, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to save your life.”
Meng Chong was so frightened that he kept begging Li Banxian to show him a way out.
Li Banxian sighed: "Zhang Mei is the ultimate yin, and the five elements belong to wood. If I want to save you, I'm afraid I have to use yin to control yin, and metal to overcome wood. Only in this way can she disperse her soul and keep you safe."
"
Meng Chong was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly asked Li Banxian how to use yin to control yin and metal to defeat wood.
Li Bingxian said mysteriously: "When it comes to the destiny of Yin evil, no one can compare with Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. And using gold to overcome wood is the principle of the five elements restraining each other. Therefore, if we can find all twenty-eight coins minted by Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty,
This disaster can be resolved!"
Meng Chong was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why do you need twenty-eight coins?"
Li Banxian shook his head and said: "The number of twenty-eight, taken from the number of the twenty-eight stars in the sky, can drive away evil spirits and subdue demons. What's more, the number that Zhang Mei's innocent soul asked you to ask for your life is also twenty-eight. In this way, the number of the stars in the sky above,
It's just the right number to overcome the evil spirit of her evil spirit who asked you to take your life."
"Why are you looking for coins? That's because money itself has the function of suppressing evil and exorcising ghosts. Money can make ghosts grind. This proverb also illustrates the power of money. From ancient times to the present, whether it is buried or cremated, the coffin is
This is also the reason why some coins will be placed under the casket or urn. "What's more, in many places, wealthy families will stuff treasures such as luminous pearls into the mouths of the deceased to ward off evil spirits, while ordinary families,
Then put a copper coin into the deceased's mouth to replace it."
Meng Chong suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. Meng Chong, who had just relaxed his brows, soon became frowning again.
He said frustratedly: "Dad, I understand the twenty-eight, but what do the coins minted by Wu Zetian look like?"
Li Banxian felt ecstatic in his heart. He knew that Meng Chong, because of his eagerness to survive, had completely lost his guard and fell into his plan.
Li Banxian looked at the only small window in the small garage in ecstasy, and said leisurely: "It is said that before the Tang Dynasty, five baht coins were used as currency. In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan Wude abolished the five baht coins and began to cast them.
'Kaiyuan Tongbao' coin."
It turns out that after the Kaiyuan Tongbao was minted in the Tang Dynasty, Kaiyuan Tongbao was used as the currency for basically the entire Tang Dynasty, unlike after the Song Dynasty, the emperor's reign name was used to mint standard coins.
Even if Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, Kaiyuan Tongbao would continue to be used as currency.
Although Kaiyuan Tongbao was the main currency that always circulated in the Tang Dynasty, many different currencies also appeared due to the continuous private minting by private citizens and local forces and various historical reasons.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were very few coins minted with year names, such as the "Qianyuan Chongbao" minted in the first year of Emperor Suzong's reign. This was a large amount of currency issued by the Tang Dynasty to cope with the intensified currency depreciation at that time.
Wu Zetian actually took power from 684 AD, proclaimed herself emperor in 690 AD and renamed the "Zhou" dynasty. In 705 AD, she passed the throne to the prince Tang Zhongzong.
During these 21 years, Wu Zetian used a total of 17 era names, three of which were: Long Live Tianzhu, Long Live Dengfeng, and Long Live Tongtian. This shows that Wu Zetian had a special liking for the word "Long Live".
During Wu Zetian's reign, a well-made product with the same quality as Kaiyuan Tongbao was issued, which was called "Long Live Yuanbao".
Due to its small circulation, this currency is rarely seen and circulated in later generations. Therefore, it is of great cultural relic value and is favored by many tomb robbers and cultural relic dealers who steal Tang tombs.
When Meng Chong heard that Li Banxian said that the 'Long Live Yuanbao' was actually made by Wu Zetian, Meng Chong's heart moved, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Of course, none of this escaped Li Banxian's eyes.
Although what Li Banxian said about currency is indeed a historical fact, not all tombs in the Tang Dynasty were buried with long-lived ingots. Because after Wu Zetian handed over power, the few long-lived ingots were ordered to be taken back and destroyed by Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, and there are not many left in the world.
.
According to legend from generation to generation, Li Banxian's ancestors, the Li Tang clan, after fleeing to Qian County to avoid disaster, followed Yuan Tiangang's advice and built a mausoleum for himself and six loyal guards during his lifetime.
In the mausoleum, four "Long Live Ingots" from that time were used as a small four-elephant array, totaling twenty-eight pieces in the seven tombs, making up the number of twenty-eight nights.
Li Banxian made up a lie just to find out whether Meng Chong secretly held the seven tombs.
Meng Chong thought for a while and said to Li Banxian excitedly: "Dad, I have a copper coin at home with four words printed on it. I can't see it clearly, but it seems to be called Long Live Yuanbao."
Li Banxian deliberately pretended not to believe it and said: "Chong'er, stop bragging. How could you have such a treasure?"
Meng Chong said nonchalantly: "Dad, I accidentally picked this up from the mountain road when I was picking herbs. I didn't know this coin was so valuable. After I brought it home, I threw it into the tool box in the corner.
"Zhong. I'll go home with Sumei right now, and I'll take out the copper coins and come back tomorrow to ask you to appraise them."
