My years as a fortune teller

The big iron gate of the prison finally opened, and the senior brother came out with his luggage on his back.But when he saw us, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.He didn't expect that I would really come, let alone Four Eyes and Cui Erye.

But the brother quickly calmed down, and walked up to greet each of us with a smile.Then I got him into the car and drove towards a restaurant in the northern suburbs.When I got off the bus, the senior brother said nothing, insisted on eating Liangpi Roujiamo.

We dragged him in after arguing, and the senior brother said helplessly: "As long as we agreed, we only need Liangpi Roujiamo. It's really necessary to make such a big show. First of all, I just said that I will just eat later. If I don't have enough money, don't look for it." I'm in trouble."

"Haha!" I said with a smile, "You can eat at ease, I will never ask you for money. I am such a fat person, if I really can't do it, I can stay here and work for a few days and pay."

The senior brother gave me a blank look and said: "Forget it, people let you work here, and you won't be poor by you. Look at how fat you are, tell me about it. How did you eat it?"

I helplessly gave senior brother a blank look, and said to him: "It's not that you don't know that my body will grow flesh even if I drink cold water. What do you think I can do? Tell me now! Hmph!" said He made a deliberately angry look.

The senior brother burst out laughing, and just like that we finished the meal talking and laughing.Originally, I wanted my brother to rest at my side, but he refused to say anything.In the end, he listened to Cui Erye's arrangement and followed him back to the countryside.

But no matter what, I feel that the senior brother seems to be full of thoughts, and he is not as cheerful as before. I always feel that there is something in his heart that he doesn't want to tell me.I always suspect that there is something wrong with the senior brother coming out this time.Master's view on this matter is the same as mine, and he told me not to worry about it yet, and just take it one step at a time.

Now that Master has said so, it is not good for me to say anything else.Moreover, he promised to patrol the mountain Taoist priest, and it is time to fulfill it now.Otherwise, Master will blame me again.The good thing is that I got Master's permission to go there this time to wear four eyes.

I packed the silver slave in a small box and made it look like a handicraft.In this way, it was easy to avoid the security check, and I put the blood jade in my pocket.The reason for carrying these two things is entirely at the request of the master.

We took the train to Luoyang and got off, then took a taxi and drove towards the agreed place.After getting off the bus, I didn't see anyone who came to pick us up, and I didn't know how to contact them.Four Eyes and I were standing outside stomping our feet and waiting.

Someone slapped me on the back, and I turned around to see a young man.He looks like he is about 27 or [-] years old, with a pair of small eyes sparkling on his slightly darkened skin; his straight nose is as sharp as if it had been cut with a knife; the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he smiles when he doesn't speak meaning.

He looked at me and nodded, and said to me: "It seems that you are Brother Zhang! My name is Li Shouzhong, and you can call me Xiao Li. My teacher Xunshan Taoist asked me to come here to pick up the two, please follow me Let me go." I nodded, cupped my fists and performed a Taoist salute.

He also returned a gift to me and said: "Master has been looking forward to you for the past two days. I heard that you are coming today. I was so excited last night that I didn't rest all night. He said that he would make some delicious treats for you two."

I smiled and said to him: "Master Ling is too polite, we are all a family and there is no such need. In the future, just say anything, we will do what you say when we come here."

He smiled and said nothing, suddenly pointed to a mountain in front of him and said, "Look, brother, this is the famous Mang Mountain. According to the master, my master's Fengshui attainments are also second to none."

I just smiled and understood what he was going to ask me.But I didn't say it, because I don't know much about this place yet, and I haven't read the Feng Shui here carefully, so I won't make random comments.

Yes, the place we came this time is the famous Mang Mountain.Mang Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang City, Henan Province, on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains and a branch of Xiao Mountain.Bai Juyi's poem: "Beimang Tomb is high and steep".As the saying goes: "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, dead and buried in Beimang".Mang Mountain is also the ideal burial place for ancient emperors.

Mang Mountain was formerly known as Taibaiyuan in ancient times. Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty said in "Shuijingzhu? Gushui": "The valley water meets the Jingu water in the east and left, and the water comes out of Taibaiyuan (, flows southeast, Li Jingu, which is called Jingu water. The southeast flows through Jin The former residence of Wei Weiqing and Shi Chongzhi. The golden valley water flows into the valley in the southeast. The valley water flows eastward to the north of Jinyong City." Taibaiyuan here is the original name of Mangshan Mountain.

Beiman Mountain is majestic, with deep water and thick soil. The waters of Yi and Luo pass through Luoyang City from west to east.Setting up the tomb here fulfills the Feng Shui theory of "resting on the mountain and stepping on the river" advocated by the ancients.Moreover, in the soil layer 5-15 meters below the surface of Beiman Mountain, the water seepage rate is low, the bonding performance is good, and the soil is compact and dense. Therefore, Mang Mountain is regarded as a geomantic treasure place for burials. Wang Liuzhi was buried in Beiman Mountain. Later, princes, princes, and officials chose to be buried here. Even the king of Baekje on the Korean peninsula chose Mangshan as his burial place after he died abroad.Wang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said that "Beimang Mountain is full of old tombs of Luoyang people"

So far, there are the original tombs of Lu Buwei, Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, Sima Clan of Western Jin Dynasty, Empress Chen of Southern Dynasty, Empress Li of Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as the tombs of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing and other celebrities.

This is also one of the 36 caves and 72 blessed places of Taoism.Legend has it that in 5 BC, Lao Tzu left the Tibetan room of Zhou Wangcheng and quietly came to Cuiyun Peak on the top of Beimang Mountain. The eight directions mobilize the spirituality of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountains, wind, and lakes, and skillfully use the principle of internal and external harmony, and concentrate on refining for 81 days.Later, after Dan Cheng, he rode a green bull to the west of Hangu Pass.

The Shangqing Palace, located on the Cuiyun Peak of Beiman Mountain, is where the ancestors of Taoism were sacrificed to make alchemy.In the first year of Tang Qianfeng, that is, in AD 666, Gaozu Li Yuan respected Lao Tzu as Emperor Xuanyuan.In the 29th year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 741 A.D., the two capitals were ordered to set up temples for sacrifices. Therefore, the Shangqing Palace was also called the Xuanyuan Emperor Temple.

These are not the most important. The most important thing is the "Portrait of Five Saints and Thousand Officials" painted by Wu Daozi, the "Painting Saint", which is very magnificent.The literati of the past dynasties left many calligraphy treasures in the Shangqing Palace.

The poet Du Fu climbed to Emperor Xuanyuan Temple in 749 A.D., had a look at the mountains and rivers in Luoyang, and wrote a famous sentence "Mountains and rivers support embroidered households, the sun and moon approach and carve beams".

It was abandoned during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. It was rebuilt in the 14th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1535 AD. Because of the high mountains and strong winds, the small tiles on the roof of the hall were changed to large glazed tiles, which are commonly known as glazed tiles. Today, there are still several pieces of iron tiles from that time in the temple.The temple was destroyed by the earthquake in the 34th year of Jiajing. It was rebuilt in Kangxi, Yongzheng and other dynasties, and it was also renovated in the Republic of China.During the Anti-Japanese War, it was destroyed by Japanese bombs, and only Cuiyun Cave, the platform on the cave, and Laojun Hall on the top of the mountain with five ridges survived.There are also ancient buildings such as the Taoist temple Guanlu Zu'an, Empress Wu Zetian's Summer Palace, Zhongqing Palace, and Xiaqing Palace.

The Beimangshan Mausoleum Group is currently the largest national cultural relic protection unit in China, and it is also one of the areas in the world where the distribution of ancient tombs is relatively concentrated.There are more than a dozen tombs of emperors of the Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, and Northern Wei Dynasties, as well as the tombs of the royal family and ministers. The total number is more than 25. Therefore, the first ancient tomb museum in China, the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum, was created here.

Needless to say, I should know the purpose of my visit this time.It is for these ancient tombs, to be precise, not all the ancient tombs, but just one of them.It is neither the ancient tombs of the ancient princes and generals, nor the ancient tombs of dignitaries.But I did come because of this ancient tomb...
