Chapter 126: The Hidden Mountain Village, The Story of the Peach Blossom Land (6)
"When the first emperor died on the way, he castrated Zhao Gao and the traitor Li Si in embarrassment, and even concealed the news of his death, tampered with the edict, and set up the incompetent Hu Hai as the crown prince, and falsely passed the holy decree to give death to the prince of Su, and the ancestor was also imprisoned, and finally killed himself with a sword!
In order to prevent the persecution of traitors, the children of the Mengshi clan could only withdraw from the Qin army, take their families to the south to hide, and finally live in seclusion in the Peach Blossom Garden, which has been more than 400 years!
Even though they live in seclusion in the wilderness, they have never forgotten their duties, and have been training their children and familiarizing themselves with military books, hoping to restore the glory of their ancestors one day, but if they want to get out of the Peach Blossom Spring, they are faced with three major problems: "
……………………
As he spoke, the old patriarch picked up the sword on the shelf, stroked the tiger-shaped mouth with his palm, and the sword was instantly pulled out of its sheath, only to see the cold light shining and its blade dark red, obviously having drunk countless people's blood!
This is Meng Tian's sword, which was held in his hand in the past, swallowing the six countries in the east and chasing the Huns in the north, and the majesty is indispensable, and when Meng Tian committed suicide with hatred, he also used this sword, and the name of this sword said: Ask the sky!
Died unjustly, hated through the ages, this heart is leisurely, looking up to the sky: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers cannot escape death!" Since ancient times, traitors have been unable to escape death! Since ancient times, it is impossible to escape death! ”
"The first problem: Montessori has lived in seclusion for more than 400 years, and knows nothing about the affairs of the outside world.
"This matter is extremely easy, as long as the people of the Meng clan go out, they are willing to give good land for farmers, gold and silver for those who are willing to do business, and those who want to make meritorious contributions to join the army, everything is not a problem!
In addition, General Meng Tian's tomb is on the north bank of the Dali River in Guanzhong, and the surrounding land of 100 miles can be given to the Meng clan, so that you can worship your ancestors and incense! ”
With Xiao Yi's powerful position, it is effortless to place hundreds of people from the Mengshi clan, even if these people don't do anything, they can support them for a lifetime, and the right to repay the grace of saving lives.
Meng Tian's generation of famous generals, who have made great contributions to the country, is reasonable and righteous, and should also repair his cemetery, so that future generations can protect it and sacrifice it for eternity!
"The second problem: the Peach Blossom Paradise is surrounded by swamps - bottomless, dangerous everywhere, when the ancestors came in in the past, there was originally a road, but after four hundred years of vicissitudes, the original road disappeared!
If the tribesmen want to go out, they must find new paths, and they must also prevent poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, and miasma...... Can you solve it? ”
The first problem was easily solved, and the old patriarch hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, and at the same time secretly guessed, what is the identity of this mysterious outsider?
The huge family of hundreds of people was easily settled, hundreds of miles of land were given away in a word, and the tone was so firm that people did not dare to doubt what kind of powerful person they could have, at least rank in Jiuqing, right?
"The road problem is easy to solve, I have an excellent 'guide', who can lead the people of the Meng clan out of the swamp smoothly, and prepare some tools to ensure that nothing goes wrong!
As for all kinds of poisons, you can collect herbs and configure antidote pills, in addition to fighting on the battlefield, you can also use the art of Qi Huang! ”
Xiao Yi dared to slip away alone before, naturally there was a way to cross the swamp, although he couldn't find the way, don't forget the sentence: 'The old horse knows the way!' ’
The horse's sense of sight and smell is extremely sensitive, and all the roads that have been walked once can be firmly remembered in mind, when Qi Huan Gong conquered the lonely bamboo, the army was lost on the way to victory, and it was led by a few old horses to find the road again!
'Cabbage' is the king of horses, not only can remember the familiar road, but also find a new way, before Xiao Yi was in a coma, it was it through the swamp, get rid of the chasing soldiers behind, since it can walk in, naturally can also go out!
The two problems were solved one after another, which greatly increased the confidence of the old patriarch, and he was convinced of the answer, because between Xiao Yi's words, there was a peculiar charm that made people believe what he said, and he would definitely be able to do it!
However, there is a third problem, and it is also the most difficult to solve, which has plagued Montessori for more than 400 years, and no one has ever been able to solve it, can this mysterious young man do?
"Your Excellency, please come with the old man, the third question is ahead!"
"It's hard to walk at night, be careful!"
"Hehe-the old man doesn't matter, I hope Your Excellency won't disappoint Montessori, the last question is extremely difficult, extremely difficult!"
…………………………
The old clan raised the lamp and walked to the front of the ancestral hall, Xiao Yi followed closely behind, stretched out his hand to support carefully, no matter what the final outcome is, it is always right to respect the old and love the young!
The two came to the front, lit the lamps around the altar, and the old patriarch lay on the ground, first buttoned the heads of the ancestors and ancestors, and then prayed silently for a while, and then moved the futon under him and patted it on the ground three times!
In the rumbling sound of the friction of the mechanism, a bluestone slab was opened, and a large copper box rose inside, which was four feet square, engraved with simple patterns, and hung with three copper locks!
The old patriarch trembled, took out three keys from his body, and opened the copper lock in turn, inside was a two-foot-sized silver box, and there was also a silver lock!
"With the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors, the nobles can solve the problem, break the curse of the Mengshi Clan for four hundred years, and go out of this peach blossom paradise - revitalize the family and continue the bloodline!"
The old patriarch knelt down again, knelt three times and bowed nine times to the portrait above, then turned to the portrait, took out a silver key from the scroll, and opened the silver chest.
Inside is the third problem, a small box of pure gold, only one foot in size, but extremely exquisitely made, with tiger-shaped patterns on all sides, but there is no gold lock on it, only a feng shui compass!
The compass is divided into: Tianchi, Inner Disk, Outer Disk...... It is composed of many concentric circles, one circle is called one layer, each layer is divided into different grids, the least is divided into 12 grids, and the maximum is 360 grids, each grid is the same size, and can be moved back and forth, left and right.
The lattice is engraved with: Yin and Yang directions, 12 zodiac signs, sexagenary branches, and star patterns...... The inside and outside are divided into twenty-eight layers, a total of thousands of grids, and they are disorderly distributed, and people who look at them are dazzled!
"The ancestors are versatile, once invented the brush, convenient for writing, increased the five-string zither to the twelve-string, so that the Yayin spread all over the world, and studied the study of yin and yang, the Siyi Bagua compass, deduced into the twenty-eight star compass, it can really be said that the wisdom is as deep as the sea!
Before the ancestor died, he wrote a suicide note, sealed it in this compass, and let the Montessori family live in seclusion in the mountains to avoid the disaster of swords, and there were last words: 'On the day the compass is opened, when the Montessori returns, if there is no heavenly qualification, the generation will end up in the wilderness!'" ’
For more than 400 years, there have been many wise men in the Montessori Clan, who are studying the 28 constellation compasses, trying to put it back in place, take out the ancestral testament inside, and lead the people back to the world, but unfortunately no one can open this thing after boiling white hair and exhausting their hard work!
The old man was enlightened at the age of four, learned the art of yin and yang at the age of ten, and began to puzzle the compass at the age of nineteen...... Can you solve this problem? ”
The old patriarch stroked the compass in his hand, trembling all over, and his eyes were even more complicated, both proud and sad!
Proudly, the ancestor Meng Tian was a pedantic celestial man, deduced the twenty-eight star compass, leaving a problem, sad is that he thought hard day and night, spent countless efforts, and failed to solve this problem, what a waste of life!
If you see the suicide note in the compass in your lifetime, you will really be blind to death, even if you are under the Nine Springs, you will have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors, and the problem of more than 400 years of puzzlement Montessori can be solved?
Xiao Yi was also checking the compass, and he also dialed the grid on it, making a crisp slamming sound, and secretly admired in his heart: "The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, leaving descendants with good intentions!" ”
As early as the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the Chinese discovered the role of magnetic fields, as well as the tool for identifying the direction - Sinan, and combined with King Wen's gossip to survey feng shui and site layout, this is the earliest compass, called 'Bagua compass!' ’
Later generations had great wisdom and continued to deduce the theory of yin and yang, and invented the 12 innate compasses, the 16 compasses of yin and yang, and the 24 square compasses...... Meng Tian is one of the best, linking yin and yang, directions, and celestial phenomena together, and creating a compass of the twenty-eight stars!
Meng Tian put the suicide note in the compass as a difficult problem to test his descendants, which was also well-intentioned, because he had a premonition that the world would be chaotic and the outside world was too dangerous!
If one of the descendants of the Montessori clan can unlock the compass of the twenty-eight stars, it means that this person's wisdom level is not under Meng Tian, or even surpasses Meng Tian, and he can naturally deal with the troubled times and revitalize the family!
If no one can solve it, it means that the descendants are incompetent, then live in seclusion in the mountains and live a small life with peace of mind, otherwise if you go out randomly, you will only be swallowed up by the troubled times and cut off the bloodline of the Mengshi clan!
"Don't be sad, old man, this twenty-eight constellation compass, I can unlock it, and it's fast!"
"What--Your Excellency can really unravel it, how long will it take?"
Hearing that the compass could be unlocked, the old patriarch instantly came to his senses, and the whole person seemed to be twenty years younger, but Xiao Yi smiled and did not answer, and stretched out three fingers!
"It takes three years, it's really fast, Your Excellency is really a great wisdom!"
"Is this ...... And a little faster! ”
"Could it be that it is three months, Your Excellency has this wisdom, and you are really a man of God!"
"Actually...... And a little faster! ”
"Is it three days, Your Excellency is the reincarnation of a celestial being?"
"Three hours is enough!"
There's one more chapter, and I'm about to get out!
