There are different opinions among the people about the Guanshan Taibao sect. Outsiders only know that the Guanshan Taibao robbed the imperial mausoleum. However, many of these stories have gradually disappeared in the passing years, and some have been deliberately removed.
The person was deliberately buried underground, and what we want to tell is such a story.
The 30th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1904.
In a wild mountain forest in the southwestern part of Shanxi, a group of people dressed in suits were walking in a hurry, wandering under the dying moonlight. After confirming the place, they picked up the tools they carried and went to the ground.
"If you move a little more quickly, this place should be what is written in the ancestor's secret volume "Eight Sentences on Broken Mountain"."
The man who spoke was about fifty years old, with a deep face, a white beard, gray clothes, and a Ruyi hat on his head. There were blue mist beads on it, mixed with red blood mist-like crystals. It looked like
Worth a fortune.
Another man next to him was also wearing a gray gown. His appearance and age were similar to the person speaking. He asked: "Boy, do you think the treasure in this place is reliable?"
The second brother was named Feng Yuan, and outsiders called him Feng Er Ye. The person who asked him was called Feng Qing. The two brothers were not natives of Shanxi, but were from Yanshan, Beijing.
In the Yanshan area, the reputations of Feng Qing and Feng Yuan are known to everyone.
This Guanshan thief came thousands of miles away, of course for the treasure in his mouth.
Feng Er squinted his eyes, twisted his mouth and replied thoughtfully: "If the treasure here is not reliable, I will twist off the head and let you play as a ball. The records left by the ancestors will not be wrong, Daxingzi,
Erlinzi, if you buy your strength and keep grinding, do you think you want us two old guys to take action?"
Feng Qing had a bit of hesitation in his eyes, staring closely at Daxingzi and Erlinzi who were digging the hole, looking nervous and silent.
...
Guanshan Taobao first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was also known as "Guanshan Taibao". In fact, Guanshan Taibao was originally called "Coffin Mountain Taibao". It was named after Coffin Mountain and was given to Hongwu by Liu Bowen.
The name of the person who built the mausoleum recommended by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was given the title of King in the Coffin Mountain Ceremony.
The Feng family lives in the Coffin Gorge of Wushan. The hanging coffins in the Coffin Gorge have a long history. The Feng family was able to obtain this unique condition. In the hanging coffin, they obtained the artifacts from heaven and learned the witchcraft from ancient books.
, imperial tombs have been built for some emperors in the past.
Later, the Feng family built a mausoleum for Emperor Hongwu on the recommendation, and were favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. They were rewarded with iron coupons of alchemy books, real gold waist medals, and a first-class official residence. They were assigned to the emperor in front of the emperor and were ordered to do so. From then on, they were renamed "Guanshan Taibao".
Admitted as a citizen of Yanshan, Beijing.
The responsibility of the Feng family is to build the imperial mausoleum for the emperor. At the same time, they also use the secret skills of Guanshan in ancient books to excavate ancient tombs and collect gold for the emperor to fill the treasury. Therefore, the Feng family of Guanshan is extremely wealthy and is one of the first-rank officials in the court.
Officials can be said to be the pinnacle of family prosperity.
Since the Guanshan Taibao were robbers, they were naturally wary of their colleagues. In order to eliminate their inner worries, they suggested to Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang that if they wanted to protect the Ming Emperor's mausoleum from being robbed, they must eliminate other robbers here.
The gate refers to Captain Mojin, Xiling Lishi, Banshan Taoist and Faqiu Zhonglang General.
With the support of Emperor Hongwu, the Xieling lineage suffered a large-scale massacre. General Faqiu Zhonglang was almost extinct, and Captain Mojin only had three gold-touching talismans left in the world. As for those far away in the Central Plains,
The Taoist Banshan Taoist outside the country escaped this difficulty because he was born with golden blood and his life was short-lived.
But the ambitions of the Feng family’s Guanshan sect don’t end there. While they were robbing ancient tombs, they were also searching for the method of immortality in ancient books in Coffin Gorge, dreaming of attaining enlightenment and becoming immortals.
Back to the topic, things have changed. Hundreds of years later, the Guanshan sect of the Feng family declined. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Guanshan sect was not reused. In addition, the Feng family tried to eliminate other rogue sects, which attracted the attention of the Guanshan sect.
The reputation of stealing doors is not very good in the world.
They also had constant grievances with the other three sects of thieves, so that in the late Qing Dynasty, the Feng family came to the point of resting on their laurels. The four members of the Feng family learned about a buried place from their ancestor's ancient book "Eight Sentences on Broken Mountain".
He came to this treasured land day and night.
"Second...Second Master, it's not that I, Erlinzi, am slow. The noise is too loud. Aren't I afraid of attracting the officers and soldiers? Besides, the four of us have come all the way from the barren mountains and wild mountains to be caught by the officers and soldiers. It's not easy to explain, isn't it?"
"
Er Linzi was lazy and worried about Feng Er. He looked at Feng Er with clever eyes, fearing that his hard work would be in vain. There was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Feng Er snorted coldly, "You bastard, do your job well. I have never missed you, Second Master. Besides, this is the place where the ancestors hid the treasure in the "Eight Sentences from the Broken Mountain" in the ancestral hall. If it weren't for the bad times, it would never be possible.
I won’t go poaching others to rest on my laurels. If you say one more nonsense, I will kick your family out when I get back, and use the saved food to feed those who need it more."
Er Linzi saw that Feng Er's eyes were firm, and he was sure that there was something here, so he turned back and continued digging. Feng Er was a ruthless man, and what he said was true. He might really drive his family out of the Feng family. After all, this
Things have happened before. In times of war and chaos, having a stable place to live is better than anything else.
Feng Qing on the side remained silent. He was a little dissatisfied with Feng Er's actions. Digging up the things left by his ancestors was disrespectful to his ancestors. But at the same time, he was also curious as to what was buried underneath. If it was really gold and silver treasures.
, why didn’t the ancestor just go on his own and instead record it? Could it be that the ancestor had expected that the Feng family would have such a day and left some savings for future generations?
This is the reason why Feng Qing is silent. Only by calculating every step carefully can we ensure that nothing goes wrong. It is precisely because of the relationship between the two Feng brothers that the Feng family did not fall apart.
But what troubles the two brothers is not only the difficulty of survival brought about by the bad times, but also the fact that it is really difficult to support a large family by robbing tombs.
The current situation was turbulent. The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. The British and French forces entered Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace. They looted countless gold and silver treasures. Many cultural relics with historical value flowed abroad, so everything on the surface was not worth mentioning, let alone
The tomb robbing industry was really in crisis at that time.
In order to survive, many famous tomb robbers pushed carts and set up noodle stalls, some of them were skilled in martial arts and juggled, or they set up stalls on the roadside and made a living by telling fortunes.
For the sake of the food that feeds the family.
The Feng family of Guanshan Pirates also encountered this situation, but their ancestors' title of "Guanshan Taibao" could not be lost. Even if they sell iron, they could not throw away the craftsmanship left by their ancestors.
Secondly, what bothered the Feng brothers was the major issue of having no heirs.
Regardless of whether the eldest eldest Feng Qing or the second eldest Feng Yuan, the children they gave birth to all died in infancy without any reason, and none of them could survive. People knew in their hearts that the business of digging up human tombs would bring retribution. It was not that retribution was not given in the past, it was time.
Before they arrived, by chance, they happened to catch up with the two Feng brothers.
There are three so-called unfilial piety, and the worst is not having heirs. Under such a difficult environment, the descendants of Guanshan have not abandoned the craftsmanship of their ancestors and maintained this persistence. But if there are no descendants to inherit it, everything is in vain, and it is still equivalent to nothing.
In 1904, the second year after Emperor Guangxu and Lafayette fled Xi'an and returned to Beijing, the situation became somewhat stable due to the signing of various unequal treaties.
In order to survive, the Feng brothers found the location of a buried treasure from the books recorded by their ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Antiques from the prosperous times and gold from wartime, the two brothers couldn't wait any longer. If they didn't touch a few underworld artifacts and come back, Feng's view of the mountain would really be exhausted, so they rushed to "Eight Sentences from the Broken Mountain" without stopping.
To make money from a forest in the southwestern part of Shanxi Province.
Back to the subject, Feng and his four people dug under the moonlight for more than an hour.
Daxingzi and Erlin were covered in stinky sweat. They dug a pit seven to eight meters deep. The color of the soil turned deep red when it reached the ground. This was a sign of great disaster. It was also certain that there must be something underneath this place.
Where the tomb is located.
With the muffled sound of the shovel, they dug to the place they were looking for.
The faces of the Feng brothers did not change, and they did not show any joy. They took two steps forward and looked down.
