Chapter 110
Xuanqiuzi then wrote down the map in the seal and the seal and drew it on the brocade. He himself exhausted his yang life by forcefully promoting the exchange of yin and yang. After explaining his posthumous affairs to Sima Liang, he drove west.
Sima Liang endured the pain of losing his master, and after properly arranging Xuanqiuzi's funeral, he followed Xuanqiuzi's last wish and went to find the secret realm recorded on the map.
However, the map left by Xuanqiuzi did not contain any text except the terrain trend. For Sima Liang, it was impossible to locate the place drawn on the map. It felt like getting a puzzle, but
Without knowing what the whole picture is, it is impossible to locate where the puzzle pieces are.
When Sima Liang was at a loss what to do, an order issued by the imperial court suddenly gave him hope again. Although it had been decades since the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the internal chaos from Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan to Emperor Sima Rui of Jin Yuan had never stopped.
, it was not until Jin Ming Emperor Sima Shao ascended the throne that gradually
Stabilized the situation of the entire Jin Dynasty. Although Sima Shao was in power for only four years, he successfully checked and balanced powerful families with his talents, promoted the stable development of southern society, and successfully completed the aftermath of the "Wangdun Rebellion"
, stabilized the situation of Wang Chao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
This was Sima Shao's third year in power, and the internal situation was settled. For those in power, they finally had the time and energy to better understand the world's situation in order to better govern the world. Although Sima Shao did not
Really experienced his ancestor Sima
Yi, Sima Yan experienced the war, but he was well aware of the huge role of geography, hydrology, meteorology, and other information in military and civil governance, so he ordered to summon talented people from all over the world to compile geography, hydrology, meteorology, etc.
work.
For Sima Liang, this is simply a god-given opportunity. If he can successfully enter the relevant institutions, he will be able to consult the classics more conveniently, and maybe he will be able to find the exact location of the map left by Xuan Qiuzi.
Sima Liang had followed Xuanqiuzi since he was a child. He not only traveled to famous mountains and rivers, but also learned all the true stories of Xuanqiuzi. He was proficient in all kinds of magic and miscellaneous arts, and passed the selection of the imperial court without any accident.
However, what Sima Liang never expected was that it had been more than twenty years since he entered the court. Although the Jin Dynasty once again experienced the changes of several emperors, the related work did not stop. Sima Liang was the one who transferred all his
All the energy is focused on the search for historical materials and the compilation of relevant materials.
During this period, Sima Liang was appreciated and promoted by his superiors many times, but he politely declined them all in order to have more convenient access to those ancient books and historical materials and fulfill his master's last wish as soon as possible.
I don’t know whether it was due to God’s destiny or whether the Emperor paid off his hard work. Finally, on the eve of the twenty-fourth anniversary of Xuan Qiuzi’s death, Sima Liang looked up the relevant information about that incident from an ancient book he accidentally discovered.
Information about the puzzle picture.
It was a book left by the Mohist family, which recorded the techniques of mechanism. At first, Sima Liang did not take it seriously, but when he accidentally looked through it, he was pleasantly surprised. The book mentioned that a senior of the Mohist family had visited
He passed an ancient tomb, and he was amazed by the mechanisms in the ancient tomb. Although the ancestor of the Mohist family was a master in the art of mechanisms, he was still at a loss when facing the gate of the ancient tomb, and ultimately failed to enter.
And that ancient tomb
The place where it is located is even more unique, called the place where the golden crow embraces the moon.
It was a book left by the Mohists that recorded music and temperament. At first, Sima Liang didn't take it seriously. After all, for Sima Liang, music and temperament had nothing to do with his ambition.
But an accidental reading made Sima Liang ecstatic. The book records that a Mohist ancestor traveled around the world in search of inspiration for music. One day he passed through a wonderland valley, surrounded by mountains, only
One entrance is a deep pool. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a huge bird spreading its wings and embracing the deep pool.
There are many birds and animals in the valley, the vegetation is lush, and the environment is even more peculiar. During the day, the fog is so thick that it is difficult to see anything ten steps away. But at night, the fog disappears and it is extremely clear. It feels like you are wearing a gauze.
After the beautiful woman took off her clothes, she looked directly at her body, and everything she saw was beautiful scenery, which made people feel excited and amazed.
The ancestor of the Mohist family couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of all things in the world and the miraculous craftsmanship. He realized something in his heart and composed a piece of music called - Golden Crow Holding the Moon!
Perhaps he could not forget the stunning beauty of the valley, or perhaps he was very proud of the song "Golden Crow Holding the Moon", so he drew the location and topographic map of the valley.
Sima Liang's ancestor was originally a captain of the Mojin School, and he had heard about the place where the Golden Crow Holds the Moon. It was an excellent burial place, but the content on the map he obtained from Xuanqiuzi was relatively rough.
, and does not show the state of the golden crow embracing the moon.
Moreover, the content drawn in the book is much more detailed than the map Xuanqiuzi saw. The shape of the golden crow hugging the moon is so lifelike. With just one glance, Sima Liang recognized that the place drawn on the map was where he was struggling.
After searching for the mysterious picture for more than twenty years, I was so happy that I quickly copied down all the contents in the book about the place where the golden crow holds the moon.
At the same time, many years of compilation career made Sima Liang develop the habit of examination and research. Therefore, he spent almost another month looking through ancient books again, looking for relevant information and clues about the place where the Golden Crow Holds the Moon, and finally finally found it in
After paying homage to Xuanqiuzi on the twenty-fourth death anniversary of Xuanqiuzi, he resigned from his official position, said goodbye to his family, and went alone to fulfill their long-cherished wish shared by both generations.
Based on the information collected previously, Sima Liang quickly found the location of the place where the Golden Crow holds the moon. Everything was indeed as recorded in the Mohist classic.
The fog was too heavy during the day and the light was not very good at night, so it took Sima Liang another full month to finally find the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Relying on the skills taught by Xuanqiuzi and his own family knowledge, Sima Liang successfully entered the ancient tomb. Unfortunately, the mechanism in the ancient tomb was too sophisticated, and Sima Liang still could not open the main tomb chamber with his ability, but he never
The murals outside the main tomb tell us about the owner of this ancient tomb and the mystery of immortality.
Although Sima Liang was not able to get what he wanted, it was still a wish, so he painted the mural and planned to find someone who could crack the ancient tomb and then open the main tomb chamber, but Sima Liang didn't want to
I fell ill just after returning home.
Although Sima Liang was unable to search for agency experts during this period of illness, he still consulted a large amount of information.
He used it to interpret the content of the murals in the ancient tomb. When he finally died, he handed over the brocade recording about the ancient tomb to his descendants, hoping that one day his descendants could solve the mystery of the ancient tomb.
Seeing this, Chen Mutang and Qian Laomou finally understood the origin of the brocade silk, so they turned their attention to the murals.
The first mural depicts a man dressed as an emperor commanding the army to go out and finally unify the world. On the edge of this mural, Sima Liang only wrote a few strokes.
"The Qin Emperor rules the world!"
Seeing this line of text, Chen Mutang and Qian Laomou couldn't help being surprised. They didn't expect that the art of immortality recorded here was actually related to Qin Shihuang.
So I hurried to see the second mural. In the upper part of the mural, a man in Taoist uniform stood in front of Qin Shihuang, seeming to be making gestures and saying something. On the side, what was depicted turned out to be the six weapons.
In the lower part of the mural, Qin Shihuang ordered a pair of men and horses to find the whereabouts of the six weapons.
For this second mural, even without Sima Liang's annotation, Chen Motang and Qian Laomou already understood that Qin Shihuang should have heard about the Six Heavenly Weapons. According to the records of the Taoist priest's clothing and historical materials, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries.
After that, when it comes to the matter of seeking immortality, it turns out that these Six Bearing Heaven Weapons are indeed related to immortality as Blood Demon Luo said.
The upper part of the third mural shows a person kneeling on the ground, holding a tray in both hands, and the tray contains five of the six vessels of Chengtian, while the lower part shows the Taoist priest.
It looks like a dressed-up man is taking a group of people out to sea on a boat.
Obviously, Qin Shihuang should have obtained five of the Six Bearing Heaven Weapons, only one Hu was missing. Obviously, the purpose of the Taoist priest taking this group of people out to sea was to find the last Six Bearing Heaven Weapons.
Seeing this, Chen Motang and Qian Laomou couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Combined with Sima Liang's explanation, the Taoist priest who went to sea was Xu Fu, and what he helped Qin Shihuang find was Xu Fu.
Chengtian Six Weapons.
Although this conflicts with the historical records of helping Qin Shihuang search for the elixir of immortality, it is also very likely that because of the mysterious existence of the Six Heavenly Weapons, the relevant information was deliberately hidden and the elixir of life was told to the outside world.
Seeing this, the two of them believed most of what Blood Demon Luo told them before, and hurriedly continued to look at the fourth mural, which showed Xu Fu and another man in fancy clothes. Strangely, this man
The man's appearance is not as rough as the other tasks that appeared in the mural, but is very clear in comparison.
The expressions of both of them were ecstatic, and the thing Xu Fu was holding in his hand was the amber among the six weapons of bearing heaven. The place where the two of them were at this time looked like a tomb, and in one corner of the tomb was Li.
A statue of an old man with a beard.
It was obvious that Xu Fu and the others found Hu in the old man's tomb, but Sima Liang's annotation once again shocked Chen Motang and Qian Laomou. This annotation was still only a few words, but it made
Chen Mutang and Qian Laomou had to reconstruct their original historical understanding.
Chapter completed!
