Chapter 169 Nezha, the Eight-Armed Nezha in Western Hunan
The current layout of Beijing city originated from the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty seven hundred years ago. It was designed by Liu Bingzhong, a mathematician. It is said that there is an evil dragon and water monster hidden under the city site, so the city was built in the shape of the eight-armed Nezha to suppress the dragon. In order to keep the king's spirit safe, there are three heads, six arms and two feet hidden in the city's layout, as well as all the internal organs. This is also a complex Feng Shui layout, and many princes and nobles are buried in the shadows.
Mr. Qiao's ancestor was a supervisor in Qintian, and was later transferred to compile the Complete Library of the Four Treasures. Over time, he learned the "Five Essentials of Yin and Yang" and had considerable experience in Yin-Yang Feng Shui and celestial physiognomy. This was passed down to Mr. Qiao's generation. With my knowledge of Feng Shui and my ability to distinguish traces of grass-colored soil, I dug several ancient tombs one after another. When I found this ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, when the seal was broken, there were several black gases rising into the sky. I waited for two days to wait. Only when the black fog dissipated did he dare to enter. When he arrived at the door of the underground palace, he found that the door was embedded with rubies.
Overjoyed, I picked it up with my hands, but it was all broken into powder. The red dust seemed to be far away. After careful identification, I found out that it was cinnabar from hundreds of years ago. It is not surprising that cinnabar is often found in ancient tombs in the Yuan Dynasty, but I was disappointed and broke the door. When entering, the coffin is hung with iron ropes in the tomb, and the coffin is suspended in the air with large iron rings. This is to prevent rainwater or groundwater from seeping in and soaking the coffin.
But there was no water in the tomb, and there were many complete porcelain bottles and jars. They were all ancient blue and white porcelain. The porcelain paintings were about cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, and the coming of purple energy from the east. Mr. Qiao, because of his family Influence, I have an indescribable complex about these mysterious and mysterious things, and I am very convinced, but I can't stop believing, and I can't stop fighting. I raised the coffin, lifted the top, and saw only the inside of the coffin. Layers of clothes were gathered together, and the purple robe and gold belt were as good as new, but the robe and crown were empty, not even a trace of the dead man's armor or hair.
He has been doing tombs for a long time, so he naturally knows what "clothed tombs and empty tombs" are. But based on experience, he can judge that this ancient tomb is definitely not an empty tomb without the owner of the tomb. Then there is only one explanation. It is a Feng Shui treasure. Not long after the tomb owner was buried, he transformed into an immortal and ascended to heaven before he could rot and wither.
Later, I found out that there used to be an ancient temple from the Ming Dynasty nearby. When the temple was built, a stone tablet was excavated from the ground. On it was engraved: "Bury here, live here." I don't know which dynasty or generation was buried underground. Yes, Mr. Qiao was a superstitious believer in Feng Shui. From then on, he tried every means to live around here and refused to leave for the rest of his life. He even hoped that after a hundred years, his bones could be buried here and he would be able to achieve great success with the help of an immortal.
Not to mention, since he lived in this neighborhood, business has been booming, and the change of dynasties has not delayed his fortune. In addition, this run-down building is so inconspicuous that people who raid homes will go around here, so he is even more convinced that this place is now The park was to be demolished and built, and it was not something that could be reversed by manpower, so he asked me to help him see if there was any place with good Feng Shui in "Eight Arms Nezha" that he could move to.
After I understood it, I laughed secretly in my heart that Mr. Qiao was nothing more than that. No one who plays antiques in Sijiu City today knows his name. But although he is outstanding in appreciating and appraising antiquities, he has no knowledge of Qingwu Feng Shui and Yin Yang and Five Elements. The old man has not yet mastered the door. Although this old man has done some tricks, how can his two brushes compare to the giant tombs excavated by "Mojin Xiaowei". The ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been extremely It is difficult to find. Even the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" does not mention it much. It is said that the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty is not as old as the Qin and Han Dynasties. Even if the body rots and dissipates, it will not be in a good coffin. It was decomposed so completely, leaving no trace, so why were there no remains of bones in the ancient tomb he stole? I'm afraid it's not related to Xianjie. The ancient tomb has been leveled for many years now. I have no evidence and I can't speculate based on speculation.
But I still expected Mr. Qiao to pay a high price to take away "Qingtou". It was hard to tell. I just followed his wishes and said a few perfunctory words, and quickly returned to the business. Mr. Qiao is a great man in Feng Shui, so to speak. As for the art of antiques and epigraphy, he is quite an expert and has done many big deals. This time he wanted to make friends, so he told him the secret of panyu.
All the jade in the green head of Ming Dynasty ware has been eroded by soil and sea water, and has various refreshing colors. After storage, it is necessary to use "Pan Gong" to restore it to its original nature. Ancient jades are warm, pure, thick, crystal clear, especially all kinds of qin. The color is wonderful, just like floating clouds covering the sun, like dancing cranes flying in the sky, full of endless strangeness and uniqueness, which is pleasing to the eye.
However, if the pure color of ancient jade is not added with Pan Gong, it will be hidden and not visible. The color of jade is deeply hidden, and the nature of jade is like a stubborn stone. Pan jade has been divided into three grades since ancient times: urgent pan, slow pan, meaning pan, and urgent pan. Place it next to a woman with a beautiful face and nourish it with her popularity. After a few months, the jade becomes hard, wipe it with a soft old cloth. When the jade recovers, wipe it repeatedly with a new cloth. Be sure to use a white coarse cloth with color. The cloth must not be used. The more you rub the jade, the hotter it will be. It should not be interrupted. After a few days and nights, the dryness of the water and soil will naturally decrease, and the place where the water is exposed will naturally condense with the color of the jade. The color will become more condensed and brighter. The value of ancient jade is to lively and fragrant. It's all revealed.
However, the ancient jade has been in the water and soil for too long, and the air of the earth and the sea has penetrated deeply into the jade bones. Without sixty or seventy years of water grinding, it is not easy to find it. For those who rob the tomb, the jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties is old jade, and it must be "old jade". Jade from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties can be called ancient jade. If it is not played with and rubbed all year round, the light in the chalcedony will never be revealed. This is the saying of ancient jade.
The term "Yipan" is a bit mysterious. This method is a bit mysterious and many people cannot understand it. In fact, it boils down to eight words - "where sincerity reaches, metal and stone will open." In the fine room, burn incense and retreat, Isolate yourself from the world, and use your temperament to transform Yuqin. Within a few months, the ancient jade will naturally recover. This is the skill of sitting on the wall in front of the facade. In fact, it may be the use of secret medicines such as "human oil and human ointment" to simmer the jade. Understand There are very few people with this skill, but Mr. Qiao is the best at it. This is his unique skill, so he dares to offer high prices and collect these green-headed old jades that look like limestone. Once they change hands, he After all, he is an old businessman who has made huge profits several times over, and he is unwilling to do business at a loss.
The fat man and I were anxious to take action, and it would be too much trouble to find a group of big girls to plate the jade according to Da Jinya's method. Moreover, we were impatient and waited for three to five years of hard work. When we saw that the price was reasonable, we gave it to him. Mr. Qiao.
That day, Mr. Qiao left Fatty and I to have a meal, and then took out a book on Feng Shui called "Guo Zimi's Eye Map". This book is the key to Feng Shui of the Jiangxi Situation Sect. It came from the Song Dynasty and was written during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, which happened to be in Beijing. In the picture of the Eight-Armed Nezha, Mr. Qiao asked me to give him some advice on the layout of the "Eight-Armed Nezha" in Beijing so that he could find a good place to live in the future. However, the Yuan Dynasty monuments had already changed several times, so how could it be possible? Stay until now? I had no choice but to point at a few places at random, make up some bluffing words, and scare Mr. Qiao into a daze.
But I found that this book "Guo Zimi's Eye Map" looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. I suddenly remembered that I first met Chen Xiazi in Shaanxi Shibei Store. He wanted to sell this book to me, but he was I saw that it was an antique fake, and it seemed to be the book Mr. Qiao was holding now. I quickly asked him where this book came from.
Mr. Qiao said that a few days ago, he negotiated a business deal in Tianjin and collected ancient paintings. He heard that there was a blind fortune teller in Zhongshan Park who could tell people’s lives with great accuracy. He was known as the divine number. Mr. Qiao was the best. Superstitious, I immediately went to visit, and it turned out to be a worthwhile trip. It turned out that the old man was not only familiar with fortune-telling, but he was also proficient in asking for fortune-telling, looking at the sky to make divination, and touching bones to read words... There was nothing he was not proficient in, and every word of it was a reference to people's confusion. Good words of gold and jade.
Mr. Qiao had a good nose and could smell the earthy smell on the fortune teller's body. When the fortune teller claimed that he was not blind, he often showed people the Feng Shui signs of the shady house, so the earthy smell on his body was not due to bad luck. Now that I am blind, I can no longer distinguish yin and yang through Feng Shui. I only have the Earth Eye Map passed down by my family, so I made a deal with Mr. Qiao and exchanged this ancient Feng Shui scroll for Mr. Qiao. Ancient paintings just collected in Tianjin.
When I heard this, I felt enlightened. Blind Chen couldn't stay in Beijing anymore, so he hid in Tianjin. It was a hard job for me to find, and today I finally have some clues. Don't look at Mr. Qiao in the antique shop. There are some respectable people here, but they are fooled around by blind man Chen who has a pair of bad tricks. First, because Mr. Qiao is too superstitious about Feng Shui. He is obsessed with those in charge and is easy to believe in biased beliefs; secondly, there are hidden dragons and tigers in the world, and there are many real people. Most of the experts remain unknown throughout their lives, while these vulgar people who show off to the public mostly have a false reputation and do not have real abilities.
I was in a hurry to find Chen Xiazi. After dinner, I inquired about the affairs in Tianjin in detail. I said goodbye to Mr. Qiao in a hurry and asked the fat man to go home in the afternoon and bring all the ancient jade that he had not sold. I would like to talk to Mr. Qiao face to face. The deal was done with the goods from the opposite side. Fatty was also a stand-alone figure in Panjiayuan. He was always used to selling sesame oil products when doing business. He only wanted to take advantage and refused to suffer losses. He would inevitably make up some random reasons and make ruthless prices. I cut Mr. Qiao in half.
I went to find Shirley Yang first and rushed to Tianjin with her. Blind Chen was no different from ordinary people. His appearance, features, speech and behavior were unusual. According to the information provided by Mr. Qiao, after a little inquiry, it turned out that he was in Shenyang without much effort. I went to the antique market and found Blind Man Chen who had just resold ancient paintings.
Blind Chen was surprised to see me actually finding Tianjin, but he said to me: "That day when Tao Ranting said goodbye in a hurry, I was chased by a group of women from the neighborhood committee who were like wolves and tigers. I hid here and there with great difficulty. He had to escape, and he was expected to find it difficult to gain a foothold in Taoranting in the future. He would be arrested if he showed up. Now that he was old and weak, it would not be a piece of cake to be sent to the Yamen to spend time in the hot hall, so he pretended to be an old cadre and got on the train to Tianjin. This place in the lower part of the Jiuhe River is really a treasure. I am happy to be here and have no plans to go back to the important place of Gyeonggi with strict laws. When the spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, I still want to go south to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai. I think that Jiangnan is also a place to raise people. By the way I've made a lot of money in this way, and I wanted to find someone to give you some news, but after some calculations, I predicted that the two euphemistic captains from Populus euphratica would come to meet each other, and as expected, they met again unexpectedly."
I saw that Blind Chen was still keeping his old habit of making lies. As the saying goes, "A man is six feet long and it is difficult to hide him in the world." Let alone come to Tianjin, even if he went to heaven, I had to find a way to dig him out. Now I had no choice but to let him boast, because there were many important things to ask him about, so I first found a place to have dinner. In the restaurant, Shirley Yang briefly told the blind man everything that had happened recently.
After hearing this, Blind Chen laughed darkly: "If we talk about seniority, I and Miss Yang's grandfather, who is a Taoist priest in the mountains, are the same generation. It seems that we are so predestined because we met an old friend. It seems that we are the same generation." It’s time for the Gold-touching Captain Zhongxing. Even the descendants of the Banshan Taoist are wearing the Gold-touching Talisman. However, the Banshan Digging Armor has become extinct. I am an old friend of the leader of the Banshan Taoist, Partridge Shao. He got this nickname because he was good at ventriloquism and could learn thousands of sounds in the world. He was full of courage and had an extraordinary ability to move mountains. Unexpectedly, he later ended up living overseas and died in America. He was really... When you praise your superior means and your overlord has a dead end, you can't help but sigh when you think about it. In fact, those Taoists who move mountains are not Taoist priests at all. They neither cultivate nor seek immortality. They just go around digging graves and looking for pearls and pills in order to avoid trouble. , I often dress up as a Taoist, and in addition to robbing tombs, I also often do things like killing people in the dark and setting fires in the wind."
The blind man talked further and further away, but Shirley Yang wanted to hear the past events of her family, so she asked him to tell her in more detail. Chen blind man told her some stories about Taoist monks who moved mountains, all of which were rare and strange things. Strange things.
However, I was anxious to find out about the deeds of the Xiling warriors who robbed tombs in western Hunan, so I took the story of Mr. Qiao as a guide and asked him if he knew the secret of the ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty. The blind man nodded and said, "You have heard about the old boy named Qiao." Then I found this old man in Tianjin. In fact, Qiao Er was just a low-ranking thief in the gang, and he was unknown. But now he has made a fortune in the capital. What kind of scenes has he seen? Living on the site of a Yuan Dynasty tomb, I feel so complacent all day long that I think I have a shitty Feng Shui position..." After saying this, he sneered.
I said to the blind man: "It seems that the gold-touching captains of the past dynasties have never actually robbed several large ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty. Just because the technique of dividing gold and fixing caves is not applicable to them, the ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been relatively mysterious." of."
Blind Chen was about to show off his skills when I asked him about it. He happened to rub the itchy spot. With a proud look on his face, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The tomb of the Yuan Dynasty that that guy Qiao Er stole was just a tomb of an ordinary noble. It's really It's not worth mentioning. If there is water but no fish, it's all because they don't know the mystery of the ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty... If I continue talking like this without any clue, I won't get the point. Today is the day to have some free time. Life Gathering and dispersing are unpredictable. In the future, I will go south, thousands of miles away, and never come back. I don’t know if I will have a chance to tell you these old things again. Why not let me tell you from the beginning, so that you can understand the reason and spread it in the future. , and also teach the world that in addition to the secret technique of touching gold in your Wangzi Jue, there is also the earth-shattering act of our people moving mountains and unloading ridges."
