Chapter 269 Yuan Gongling

Lin Yi secretly winked at Fifth Brother.

Fifth Brother immediately understood his intention.

"I said, little master, we've almost finished looking at it. Have you finished the rubbings over there?"

"It's over, it's over, come and take a look!"

The accompanying monk walked up and took a look, and it was indeed unusual.

The remnant stele and the forehead of the stele were originally standing in the corner in disgrace, no one would give him a second look.

After Qian Sheng's instructions, he cleaned up all the dirt and dust on it, and then used red ink to rub the stone carvings on it. It does look a bit like an antique.

The little master looked at the rubbings and was full of praise. Qian Sheng took out a few and said with satisfaction:

"These are the rubbings that I am personally satisfied with. They are left in the temple. We will take away the remaining ones and this pile of scraps."

As he said that, Qian Sheng stretched out his hand to gather together the messy test objects on the ground, and put all his brains under his armpits.

"We will take away these rubbish, and we will resolutely not cause trouble to your temple."

The little master clasped his hands together: "Then I will trouble the benefactor."

The group of people left the Sutra Pavilion and strolled around the temple pretendingly. Then they said goodbye to the accompanying monks, walked straight out of the temple, and headed straight to the car.

Sitting in the car, closing the car door, Qian Sheng couldn't wait to take out four rubbings of the broken inscription from the pile of waste paper, and unfold them one by one.

"It really made me and my eldest brother guess. The handwriting has not been polished clean. In addition, it has been thrown in the ground after being smashed and no one cared about it. Except for some traces of weathering around it, the original text of the carving is basically intact. I can identify [-]% to [-]% of them.”

Seeing this, Bai Lu finally came to her senses.

"Oh, so you said you want rubbings of the monument's forehead, but you actually want to print the inscriptions! Why didn't you tell me in advance, I was kept in the dark."

"Maybe I still don't trust your acting skills." Lin Yi joked.

"My acting skills? Come on, I'm still making a living in the entertainment circle, so I've acted in a few plays, even though it's not an important role."

"Ah, yes, yes, stop talking. Next time you let me see your acting skills, I will definitely turn around for you! The kind that doesn't charge you, stop making trouble, talk about business, talk about business!"

Lin Yi smiled and picked up a rubbing and pasted it on the windshield of the car, the handwriting on it was faintly visible.

The font is very obvious Xingkai, which was also the most popular font for stele inscriptions in the Ming Dynasty.

"The calligrapher's writing power is very solid. You can see the trajectory of his calligraphy practice from the strokes. It has the charm of Dong Qichang. Most people can't write this calligraphy."

"The craftsmen who carved it were not ordinary. They could carve out the power of the original work that penetrates the back of the paper. It's a pity, if the handwriting on the stele has not been erased, it should be an excellent copy of calligraphy, a model."

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng were discussing when Fifth Brother suddenly interrupted:
"Why do you think this person wanted to erase the words on it?"

"Fifth brother, you don't know something. Our calligraphy in Huaxia is divided into two categories: stele learning and calligraphy calligraphy.

As the name suggests, this stele study is to learn the calligraphy of the ancients from the stele inscriptions, and the calligraphy study is to start with the ancient calligraphy and study the calligraphy of the old people.

It can only be said that each has its own merits, but there is a problem. There are very few ancient copybooks handed down to the world, but the number of surviving inscriptions is relatively considerable.

In the past, there were still people who made a living out of stele rubbings, especially the stone steles of some famous artists, such as Ou Liuyan and Zhao’s book inscriptions. In the era when there was no large number of printed materials, every rubbing was a priceless treasure.

In order to get a good price for their rubbings, these people would deliberately damage a few important words on the inscription, or even destroy the entire inscription after they finished rubbing it.

In this way, his rubbings become unique copies, and the price is entirely up to him. "

"How cruel!" After listening to Qian Sheng's story, the fifth brother couldn't help but be speechless.

"Then why is this piece in front of us?"

"In order to conceal the truth! I just said that this stone tablet looks a bit familiar. Do you still remember the scorpion we saw under the wellhead? This stone tablet should have been placed on that scorpion. "

As soon as Lin Yi said these words, everyone was shocked.

"Why didn't I think of that! I also think that the size of the monument, the calligraphy, and the carving are all top-notch. It can't just be a monument to the completion of a temple.

According to what you said, it's all right. Such a thick stele body is made of such good materials. The dragon pattern is of the same style as the auspicious cloud pattern on the back of the Bixi below. "

Qian Sheng slapped his hands abruptly, and leaned closer to the glass to carefully read the words on it.

Xingkaishu, except for a few traditional characters in it, is already a style that is very close to the current writing habits.

The text above is a bit shallow and difficult to read, but if you look carefully, you can still find some content.

It doesn't matter if you don't read the content of the inscription, after Qian Sheng read it, everyone in the car was shocked by the words on it.

The content of this inscription should be taken from the middle one, which reads:
When Zhang Xianzhong led his troops through Langzhong, he listened to the instigation of his adopted son Li Dingguo and went to great lengths to dig up Yuan Tiangang's mausoleum despite the obstruction of the locals.

No priceless gold or silver treasures were found in Gong Yuan's mausoleum. Instead, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang worked together to "steal" the "Qingzhou Ding" from the "Shuangzhou Tomb" in Xiqi. "!
Not only that, but a strange book "Book of Three Worlds" was also unearthed. This strange book collects what Yuan Gong has learned throughout his life and is a very important Kanyu work.

Zhang Xianzhong was a country bumpkin, and he couldn't read a lot of Chinese characters. He was not interested in these things, so he gave this book to his adopted son Li Dingguo.

At that time, Wang Zhaolin, a counselor under his command, suggested that since he had obtained the "Qingzhou Ding", one of the "King Yu's Nine Dings", it showed that he had the dragon spirit, so he might as well ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

It was precisely because of the appearance of this Qingzhou tripod that he firmly believed that he was the real dragon emperor, the chosen one.

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong enter Shu and establish the Daxi regime. From then on, the "Eight Great Kings" became the "Emperor of the Daxi".

The inscription also said that after Zhang Xianzhong dug Yuan Gong's tomb in Langzhong, that night, he dreamed that a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and three long beards gave him a dream.

He warned him that since he had obtained the "Qingzhou Ding", he should not harm the people of Langzhong, otherwise he would be punished by heaven.

Zhang Xianzhong woke up from his dream and ordered his men to set off overnight. Along the way, he strictly ordered his sergeants not to touch the people of Langzhong without permission.

If there is no compliance, beheaded to show the public.

After listening to Qian Sheng's narration, Fifth Brother patted the back of the car seat.

"That's right, that's right. I heard when I was young that this piece of land offered its loyalty to Sichuan. Everywhere it went, it would arrest strong men and enlist them in the army. If they dared to disobey, they immediately ransacked and killed the whole family. If they were a little unhappy, they would massacre the city. Langzhong City was the only city in central Sichuan that was not attacked." Survive the disaster.”
