The Coffin Mountain people were originally an ordinary family. They lived in Coffin Mountain in the ancient town of Wuxi, relying on mountains and water.
Wuxi is a branch on the runoff line of the Yangtze River. There are continuous cliffs and mountains on both sides of the river. The runoff is calm, but the rapids in the dark bottom are turbulent. An ancient poem says: "The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Yes, it is actually here in Wuxi.
There is a sense of grandeur as you go down with the waves and see thousands of cliffs and mountains all the way.
Coffin Mountain in Wuxi Ancient Town was not originally called Coffin Mountain, but Wuxi Mountain. People who lived here had only one waterway to go in and out. But strangely enough, there were many hanging coffins on Coffin Mountain. There is no record of it. It seems that it happened overnight.
came out of nowhere.
Coffin Mountain is a long chain of mountains, from which Wuxi River cuts out. In this runoff, if you look up, you will see hanging coffins standing among the towering mountains.
The mountain watchers living here obtained the secret book from the hanging coffin on the mountain, and learned about Feng Shui metaphysics and the secret skills of the stars.
According to the records of the Coffin Mountain people, the Book of Heaven was the Book of Heaven that King You obtained from searching the world. Later, when he was buried, it was stolen by a slave who built the tomb and was hidden in the hanging coffin of Coffin Mountain. This is a legend after all.
, there is no way to trace exactly where this so-called heavenly book came from, but this is what it is.
The secret skills that Coffin Mountain people obtained through this have gained a small reputation in the industry. As people are popular, some things will naturally come to their doorstep.
Judging from the content recorded in the book, combined with Feng Yu's own experience, we can basically come up with a general process of the mural on the Tomb of the Fox Immortal.
Among the Coffin Mountain people, there is an extremely special being. His existence and even his birth are different from others. This has been recorded in many places. This was a sensational event at the time. This person's name is unknown because he is a witch.
People from Coffin Mountain in this stream call it Coffin Witch Creek.
As evidenced by many historical records, this person's birth was seen by many people. The light fell from the sky and the night was as dark as day. The scene was extremely strange. Even the emperor at the time thought it was a catastrophe coming from heaven and a catastrophe was coming. History books once wrote
Said: "In the Gengzi year, the stars will come to the world, and the day and night will be as usual, fearing disaster in the world."
This incident was seen by many people at that time, and the Fox Great Immortal was probably one of the many people at that time. As for why he wanted to paint this incident in the tomb, that is another story.
Coffin Witch Creek is considered to be the most talked-about person among Coffin Mountain people. He has always been a mysterious existence, including the so-called picture of a goddess sending a child, which is actually a mythical image of it, and the digging of mountains and tombs.
The picture talks about digging mountains in search of that ray of light.
...
During the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a 23-year-old relative, entered the officialdom. When he was promoted to Grand Sima, he was only 38 years old. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty died, Emperor Ai succeeded to the throne, and Wang Mang became the new capital lord. Not long after, Emperor Ai died.
, Emperor Ping succeeded to the throne, Wang Mang came to the throne and began to take charge of the government.
Why do you say Wang Mang? One of the reasons why Coffin Wuxi came out of Coffin Mountain was to assist Wang Mang. According to the book "Ode to Coffin Mountain", Coffin Wuxi was a strange person in the world. Wang Mang heard about it and asked him to come out of the mountain many times, but
Coffin Wuxi felt that the time had not come yet until Wang Mang came to court.
Some ancient people said that Wang Mang was the reincarnation of the White Emperor, the same white python that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, dreamed of killing. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself as an act of seeking revenge.
But Wang Mang was a man of great ambition. After he established the new dynasty, he began to vigorously reform the New Deal. The main participant and revisionist of the New Deal was Coffin Wuxi himself.
.
At that time, Coffin Wuxi's New Deal measures were not accepted for the following reasons. The content of his reforms was very different from the times and was incompatible with the times.
The specific content also roughly explains that the abolition of slavery was really not a good idea at the time. The Han Dynasty was a feudal slave dynasty, and the country's population was mainly slaves. Although freedom is what slaves yearn for, they should not be slaves, which means these
People will have no food to eat. Regardless of the ideas of the landlords, how should the slaves live their lives?
The second point is nationalized commerce. After the land was taken back to the state, it was distributed on a per capita basis, the sale of salt and iron wine was controlled, and the conditions for the use of currency were unified many times, which ultimately led to the result that the value of money and goods was not equal.
The most terrible thing is the third point, trying to change the official name of the official system, which offended many nobles in the palace, and it completely failed to work.
It can be said that the measures taken by Coffin Witch Creek are a little too advanced. The abolition of slavery was only just abolished on this day in 1923, let alone other messy things.
Coffin Wu Xi is indeed a man with wild and unconstrained ideas. If it weren't for his understanding from books, Feng Yu would have even thought that this person was his eldest cousin.
Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty did indeed have many jaw-dropping practices. Most of these came from Coffin Witch Creek, or in other words, it was Coffin Witch Creek that actually made Wang Mang who he was.
Just like the sentence written in "Ode to Coffin Mountain" about Wang Mang and Coffin Wuxi.
"The standard for measuring a leader is whether he or she will sacrifice principles for status. If he sacrifices principles for a higher status, he is not a good leader."
These words seem to be more in line with the current situation of warlords fighting. If it were not written in an ancient book, Feng Yu would have thought it was the words of the leader.
The records about Coffin Wu Xi in the book are general, and most of them are trivial matters. After Wang Mang was killed in the new dynasty, Coffin Wu Xi mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. It is said that he obtained an object from Wang Mang's treasury.
Long before Wang Mang's death, Coffin Wuxi had a conversation with Wang Mang, discussing the great ways of the world.
Coffin Wuxi's ideal is to establish a civilized capital with democracy and freedom, where the whole world can enjoy togetherness. Coffinwuxi is well versed in astronomy and geography, and knowing that Wang Mang's head will be dislocated when he dies, he asks Wang Mang: "Master, are you afraid of death?
"
Wang Mang replied: "Death? Why are you afraid? You are afraid of chaos in the world and the suffering of the people."
Coffin Wuxi knew that his measures would not succeed. It is not the times that create heroes, but the times that destroy heroes. In the present era of the Republic of China, Coffin Wuxi is definitely a remarkable figure.
Afterwards, the new dynasty collapsed, Wang Mang died, and the New Deal was declared to be completely over. Coffin Wuxi left there with the object obtained from the treasury.
The object taken away by Coffin Witch Creek should be the pressed dragon bones.
There is less information about Coffin Wuxi in the book. No one knows where he went with the dragon-pressing bones, and how the dragon-pressing bones got to the tomb of Fox Great Immortal. This is probably what Feng Qing said, the dragon-pressing bones are indeed
A place related to the Coffin Mountain people.
Although there is no mention of pressing the dragon bones, there are other contents in the records of Coffin Witch Creek.
As mentioned before, Coffin Witch Creek was born into an extraordinary world. His birth was inherently mysterious, and his life would not be spent in such an ordinary way.
In the past, people in Coffin Mountain did not fight upside down, and there was no tomb robbing industry before. The ancients were feudal and superstitious, and believed in Feng Shui metaphysics.
The hexagrams were often used to talk about. The emperor would read the almanac when he went out. Every year, he would ask someone to deduce the good and bad luck and pray for good weather.
Coffin Wuxi was extremely accomplished in Feng Shui, otherwise he would not have known that Wang Mang would be coming to court one day. In the same way, a carpenter who repairs straw sandals is not a good cook. Although the new policies implemented by Coffin Wuxi seem to be
It was very powerful, but he may not have thought of the circumstances at that time.
The Feng Shui achievements of Coffin Wuxi were recorded by later generations. It was the content in it that divided the Feng family into two factions. Later generations got information about immortality in Coffin Wuxi's book, which is also what is shown in the Dragon Language Picture.
In other words, Coffin Wuxi passed down his Feng Shui achievements to later generations through the dragon's language picture on the mountain.
Feng Yu saw this and roughly understood what was written in the first part. He was from Coffin Wuxi in Coffin Mountain. He was indeed a strange person. He didn't expect that even Wang Mang's new policy was written by him. It was his grandmother's. Feng's family in Coffin Mountain
There are really many talented people in this field. Look now, how can you have the dignity to meet your ancestors after death?
Compared with people's grand ambitions, he was complacent about going to two small tombs every day and stealing a few pieces of property. Feng Yu wanted to slap him twice right now. No wonder his father Feng Qing always had a serious face.
If I had read this "Ode to Coffin Mountain" earlier, I would have been bored without thinking about it. This is totally incomparable.
Feng Yu didn't read any further, he closed the book and put it away. The first part was enough for people to digest. If he looked further back, there might be some big events. He thought about watching the mountains.
After all, the Feng family has been around for thousands of years, and the waves behind will push the waves ahead. As a member of the Feng family, I have to look at the affairs of the Feng family with piety.
Time passed by at night, and the rain outside showed no signs of stopping. Feng Yu went out to take a breath and saw that the lanterns in the house were already lit.
The Feng family is far away in Yanshan, and there is no electricity in the entire house. They still use lanterns from before the Republic of China for lighting. There are not many Feng family members, so there are two lanterns lit at the corners of each corridor.
Rain pattered on the eaves, and the moonlight was obscured by clouds. Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Yu all went to the front hall to eat. When he felt his stomach, he felt a little hungry. Although he was reluctant, Feng Yu still went to the front.
The table in the front hall of the Feng family was full of people. Except for the father and the second uncle who were not there, the rest of the aunts and ladies were there. It was rare to see so many people sitting there, and Feng Yu came uninvited.
When the aunts saw Feng Yu coming over, they hurriedly asked someone to bring them a pair of bowls and chopsticks. In the Feng family, there is no reason why the waiters can't serve the table. They are all Feng family members, and there are no so many distinctions. In addition, the Feng family has very few heirs, with only two sisters.
, one is also married, and only one sister is still at home.
Feng Yu didn't know why everyone gathered together today. After sitting down, he asked stupidly: "Aunts, what day is it today? Why are you all so happy? The weather doesn't seem to affect your mood at all.
."
At this time, Er Xiaoniang, who usually doesn't talk much, said: "Two happy events are coming to my door, so I'm naturally happy."
"Happy event? Which two?"
Er Xiaoniang pointed at Feng Yu and Zhi Zhi. Feng Yu didn't know. His return from Shanxi was considered a happy event. When did these aunts regard his safe return as a happy event? Even Zhi Zhi's entry into Feng's family was a happy event.
Happy event, but what about one more thing?
"Which..., I said, Er Xiaoniang, although it is raining outside and the sky is dark, you still have to open the skylight and speak frankly. What do you mean?"
