Chapter 108 The Monument of the Emperor's Son

After dinner, Zhao Zhen, Guang Hui, and Ruan Xiaoqi called Zhao Ji and Li Liang, led a team of villagers, drove five fast boats, and headed straight for Liangshan.

On the way, Zhao Zhen looked at Li Liang who was on the same boat. He first repeated Ruan Xiaowu's words and asked, "Manager Li, do you know about this ruins?"

Li Liang said: "Township chief, I have seen it in Liangcun Village Chronicles. King Liang Xiao was hunting here. Someone from the local area presented a freak cow to King Liang. The cow's feet grew on its back. King Liang saw that the cow's feet were inverted. , feeling depressed. He died of illness in Liangshan within a few days. Because the weather was hot and it was inconvenient to transport, Liang Wang was buried in Liangshan. Two treasures were left in Liangcun, [Picture of Liang Xiao Niu’s Disaster], [Liang Wang Ding], [Picture of Liang Xiao’s Niu Disaster] 】That's what I'm talking about.

The villain vaguely remembers the village annals: Later Emperor Jing set up a rolling dragon coiled stele for the King of Liang. The tomb of King Liang was later moved to Mangdang Mountain in Shanzhou, present-day Jingxi Road, but there is no record of the location of the tomb of King Liang on Liangshan Mountain. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen thought for a while and divided a boat to Jinshatan Water Village. He asked Li You, the manager of the farm, to bring the village records. He then asked Sun Zheng and Tian Dasheng from Shangliang Village to also bring the village records and go to Qinglong. Take the Xiaoliang Peak at the northern end of the mountain.

The remaining four clippers went straight to Zhangzhuang. After a while, we arrived at Zhangzhuang Pier and were followed by Chao Ning, Zhang Wang, and Song Wan. Seeing Li, Zhao Zhen asked: "How far is the tomb from here? Who discovered it first?"

Zhang Wang said: "Head of the township, just climb over the mountain in front." He looked at Song Wan.

Song Wandao: "Master, I discovered it first. It was a sunny day today, and I was patrolling Liangshan. I saw a large area of ​​​​the mountain slope sliding down from a distance. When I looked closer, I found a cave and a stone tablet, so I asked people to find it first. Go to brother Han Bolong and move the sergeant to block it, and then send brother Ruan Xiaoqi to invite the owner of the village. I will wait for the owner here."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked Song Wandao: "Besides the tomb and the stone tablet, are there any other discoveries?"

Song Wandao: "Master, the place is now very messy with mud and rocks. When I was there, I found nothing else. Brother Han Bolong is cleaning up the surrounding area, leaving brother Du Qian to guard the front mountain."

Zhao Zhen said to Chao Ning and Zhang Wang again: "Is there any record in the village annals?"

Chao Ning took out the village chronicle, handed it to Zhao Zhen, and said: "When the owner of the village was still here, brother Zhang Wang and I looked through it first. There are some records here, but the words are vague."

Zhao Zhen took it and looked at the place pointed out by Chao Ning. He saw that it read: In the sixth year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, King Liang died and was buried. .

Whether intentionally or not, the burial site has been obscured and cannot be identified clearly. Zhangzhuang is the closest to the tomb of King Liang, and the records are vague. Tianzhuang is the farthest, and there is probably no record.

Zhao Zhen asked Li Liang and Zhang Wang again: "Brothers, do you have any other records or rumors?"

Both of them frowned and thought hard.

Zhao Zhen did not disturb the two of them, and only heard Li Liang say hesitantly: "I don't think I can remember the township chief. I heard it when I was a child. Someone once sighed: 'Although the ancestors of Liangcun were slaves, they lived a good life. Fortunately, now I am waiting for a thief, and I am in fear every day. According to legend, the king of Liang was rewarded for his meritorious service, and his treasury had hundreds of millions of money, and more jewels and jade than the capital. The Liang Kingdom where he was located was bounded by Mount Tai in the north. As far as Gaoyang in the west, there are more than 40 cities, all of which are large counties. Our ancestors lived a better life than these unworthy descendants like me.'"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Isn't it true that a lot of gold and silver treasures were buried with him?"

Li Liang said: "The tomb here is abandoned. I wonder if there are any remains?"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. As Li Liang said, the tomb was probably filled with little gold and silver. Said: "You have to do some testing to find out."

While talking, Li You, Sun Zheng, and Tian Dasheng arrived by boat and met Li. Taking out the village chronicle, everyone looked through it. There was no record of the tombs here. However, Zhao Zhen found an interesting record in the Liangcun village chronicle: Wang was fond of hunting and traveled extensively in the north and south. There is Dog Mountain, where the king keeps hunting dogs.

Zhao Zhen pointed to this record and asked: "Li Liang is in charge, do you know about Dog Mountain?"

Li Liang said: "I only heard that there is a Dog Mountain on the branch peak of Liangshan Mountain, but it is not here. It is past the water and heading west, separated by the mist. I have never been there."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "In that case, I will go and see this old tomb of King Liang later."

Everyone hugged Zhao Zhen and headed to Xiaoliang Peak at the northern end of Qinglong Mountain. The mountain road was slippery and muddy after the rain. Although it was not far away, Zhao Zhen and others walked for an hour before they arrived. Han Bolong came over to meet Li, and Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Han Bolong, tell everyone what's going on now."

Han Bolong said: "Master, the stone monument has been cleaned up now, and the way into the tomb has been cleared. Use the torch to put out the fire, so you don't dare to enter the tomb."

Zhao Zhen and others first went to see the stone stele. It has a base and a double dragon head. The stele is three feet tall, more than one foot and four feet wide, and four feet thick. The base of the stele is nine feet and five feet high. It is really impressive.

The stele of the emperor's son (a third-level treasure, built with Kun Ling's body on his back, the god of heaven is elegant and has a quiet household)

Effect one: ward off evil spirits. The son of the dragon, the divine beast of pure yang, can ward off evil spirits.

Effect two: majesty. The dragon has nine sons, one of which is Bixi. It is also called Baxia. It is shaped like a turtle and is good at carrying heavy loads. It carries a stone tablet with two dragons on it, the king's honor, a symbol of power and longevity.

Effect three: suppress the house, suppress and condense the luck, and increase the luck by ten points every year.

When Zhao Zhen saw this, he shouted in his heart, "I've made a profit. If I have this thing, I won't let a heavy rain destroy many pines and cypresses."

Everyone was looking around the stone tablet and heard a burst of cheers. When Zhao Zhen looked, it was the sergeant who was cleaning up the soil. A sergeant came forward and said: "Master, we found the tomb gate stone."

Zhao Zhen and others walked forward and saw a large stone leaking out of the soil, only less than three feet. Zhao Zhen signaled the sergeant to continue cleaning up. Sure enough, after a while, it was cleaned up. In addition to the tomb door stone, there were also several portrait stones. There is a relief sculpture of two dragons piercing the jade on the lintel of the tomb door. The portrait stone is carved using the ground-cut bas-relief technique. On the screen, phoenixes hold their heads high and flutter their wings, and auspicious beasts gallop and jump with different expressions.

They are all first-level treasures. The tomb gate stone has a solid property, while the portrait stone has a luck-gathering property.

Zhao Zhen looked at it and said to Guang Hui: "Brother Guang Hui, could this stone tablet, tomb gate stone, and portrait stone be used in the Xixi Village ancestral hall and cemetery?"

Guang Hui said: "Master, these are shiny and shiny. They are treasures. Although they are for the tomb, it is a pity not to use them. There is nothing special about this stone tablet, but it is too big and difficult to carry. The tomb The door stone is strong and can replace the Beishan gate. As for the portrait stone, it brings good luck. If the owner of the village is interested, he can use it to rebuild the tombs of his ancestors."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Chao Ning, Zhang Wang, you two will build a guardrail around the stone monument afterwards, so that people can watch over it every day."

"Zhao Ji, you heard it too. The tomb door will be transported to Beiguan for brother Tao Zongwang to use. The portrait stones will be transported back to the ancestral hall for temporary storage."

Everyone tried it again with torches, but they still died immediately after entering the hole. Zhao Zhen and others all stayed in Zhangzhuang.

In the next three days, Zhao Zhen also listened to reports from the stewards of three villages in Liangshan. The heavy rain had the greatest impact on Liangcun. More than 30 houses were destroyed, and fortunately no villagers died.

Zhao Zhen mobilized Tao Zongwang's team to help repair houses everywhere.

On this day, Chao Ning came to report that the tomb could be entered. Zhao Zhen and others came to the tomb. Zhao Ji entered first. Seeing that nothing happened, Zhao Zhen entered together with Guang Hui. As Zhao Zhen expected, it was empty inside and the underground palace had not yet been excavated. According to regulations, the entire underground palace consisted of a tomb passage, a corridor, a vestibule, a chariot and horse room, a corridor, a hall, a bedroom, a corridor, an ice cellar, a stable, and an armory. It was rough cut and not yet polished. The gouge marks are clearly visible and there is no decoration. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although it is extremely hot outside the mountain, it is cool and chilly inside. Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's really cool here."

Guang Hui also said: "It's a good place for a warehouse."

After hearing what Guang Hui said, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said: "It can be used as an ice cellar. When I come to Liangshan in the future, I can get ice to cool off in the summer."

Everyone laughed after hearing this, dispelling the disappointment of not seeing the gold and silver treasure.
