The Lost Traces of Guide Chapter 4 Feng Family Ancient Book 'Eight Sentences of Broken Mountain'
The two Feng brothers gained more than they lost in Shanxi. There was a corpse buried in the place recorded in the "Eight Sentences of Broken Mountain" written by the ancestor of Guanshan, and the "Guanshan Dragon Language Picture" in the hands of the corpse was obviously buried deliberately by someone.
inside.
It was just an ordinary fight to make a fortune. The Feng brothers all thought that their ancestors would leave them some gold and silver treasures. They thought of digging up the things left by their ancestors first, and then start over again when life gets better.
Redeem the things and return them to the ancestors to save them from a temporary emergency.
Unexpectedly, there was no other property in the tomb, only a coffin with strange patterns and the corpse in the coffin.
The three escaped Feng family bombed the mountain, causing quite a stir in the local area. Although the Qing government was on its last legs in 1904, the local officers and soldiers were particularly concerned about the mountain bombing.
At that time, Emperor Guangxu had been under house arrest by Lafayette for many years, and he opposed Lafayette on many matters. Although Emperor Guangxu had no real power, his desire for change was still echoed by many ministers.
This mountain bombing incident naturally became a serious case, because the Qing court knew clearly that someone dug the mountain tomb. Lafayette took this matter seriously. What she hated most was the person who dug the tomb, so she was digging the tomb for herself.
When building a mausoleum, preventing theft is a top priority.
Assigned by the imperial court, officers and soldiers quickly intervened. Due to the confrontation between the imperial court and Emperor Guangxu, the efficiency of the work was not high. A group of thieves who blew up mountains and robbed tombs could not catch any of them.
In order to break away from the relationship as soon as possible, Feng Qing and several others escaped from Shanxi via a trail, bypassing the officers and soldiers. As for Feng Qing's left leg, which was injured by the corpse, he was left with a lifelong disability because he did not receive timely treatment.
After returning to Yanshan, Beijing, the Feng family kept to themselves and never mentioned what happened. Only in private, when the Feng brothers recalled the past, did they say a few words. They couldn't help but sigh with emotion. But this incident
There were too many fishy things seeping into the matter, and I couldn't figure them all out at the moment, so I had to leave it alone.
The retrieved half of the "Guanshan Dragon Language Picture" was directly placed in the ancestral hall of Feng's Guanshan Mountain. Because the content of the picture was deeply taboo, and there was only half of the picture left, the meaning of the picture was unclear.
, Feng Qing took this as a lesson, and threw half of the "Dragon Language Picture" directly into the "Eight Sentences on the Broken Mountain" without asking any more questions.
Lessons are always remembered with blood and tears. Feng Qing's leg became crippled. He was already deep and thoughtful, and his age made him more suitable for the name Feng Qingzi.
After the Fengqing Dynasty, due to inconvenience of movement, I never went to the tomb again, which was a waste of my good skills in digging for gold.
On the contrary, when the Feng family went to the tomb, Feng Yuan and Feng Er took the people there. Feng Qing sat at the gate of the house and entertained the customers who came to buy goods. Feng Laizi had a cold face and a sharp mouth, and he also occupied a foothold in the world of rivers and lakes.
The Feng brothers managed to survive the most difficult period of time.
...
A few years later, the situation of the Feng family in Guanshan improved a little. The fact that the Feng family had no heirs became a lot more glaring. Not only did the Feng brothers have no heirs, but also the brothers from the clan also had no heirs.
, the only two girls who were lucky enough to survive were both born with a weak body. The Guanshan sect cannot be passed down to this generation, and if these two weak girls are allowed to inherit it, how can they explain it to their ancestors when they get down there?
?
The Feng brothers are almost sixty years old, and they may not have much hope of having a child at this old age. They all know clearly, how can they, old melons, possibly have a child at an old age?
This is because the older generation has done too many bad things, and retribution is coming. Even if they find a few more 20-year-old girls, they may not be able to have children.
What's more, when the two Feng brothers are so young, it's tantamount to committing a sin by ruining a young girl. The lack of moral virtue in their ancestors is a lesson learned from the past.
Feng Er has been fighting outside all year round, and everything at home falls on Feng Qing. Regarding the issue of heirs, he is rather stubborn. He neither wants to harm innocent girls, nor does he want to adopt someone from outside. He says that his ability to watch mountains and steal doors cannot be passed on to him.
An outsider who is not related by blood.
Things remained at a stalemate, and just a few years after the Feng family had turned around, another major change occurred.
In 1912, the Qing government completely collapsed, overthrowing more than two thousand years of feudal rule and establishing the Republic of China.
For the old tomb robbing business, its status is embarrassing in the new era. The first two years were indeed not very prosperous. Fortunately, the Feng family has become accustomed to such a life. No matter how hard it is, they can survive it. These are nothing.
That is to say, in 1912, after several entrusted searches, Feng Er got news about the heirs of the Feng family.
Feng's cousin Feng Mingyi was entrusted by Feng Er to search for a boy for many years and brought back a boy.
When Feng Er saw that Feng Mingyi had brought someone back, he was still a young boy. He most likely guessed something, so he immediately sent someone to ask his eldest brother Feng Qing.
In front of the two Feng brothers, Feng Mingyi told the truth.
The child he brought back, who was twelve years old, was the son of the concubine of the previous generation, Mr. Feng, who was living abroad. In other words, the boy's grandfather was the father of the two brothers Feng Qing and Fengyuan. Although he was
Fortunately, the heir born to a concubine living outside the country is related by blood and is a healthy boy, which is very valuable.
Feng Qing knew very well that he knew that his father, Mr. Feng, had several concubines in the past, but who could prove that this child was a descendant of the Feng family? After so many years, there was no way to verify the matter.
Feng Qing held the lame leg around the child and looked at it carefully. There was a slight resemblance between his eyebrows and old man Feng. He asked, "How did you find this child?"
"Back to uncle, this child's father died in a fight and died in the tomb. His mother also died of illness last month. He took a jade plaque to the pawn shop and was recognized by my people. Uncle, you know this
What is the jade sign the child is holding?" Feng Mingyi answered beside the boy.
Second Master Feng asked: "What is it?"
Feng Mingyi carefully took out the jade plaque from the package in his arms and handed it to Uncle Feng with both hands.
At first glance, both Feng brothers were dumbfounded. The four words "Guanshan Taibao" engraved on the jade plate attracted people's attention. It was also a piece of fine white jade with a unique texture. Most people would never have such a thing.
.
Feng Qing pondered for a while, looked at the jade pendant and the child in front of him, and asked: "Child, let me ask you, what is your name? Who gave you this jade?"
The boy's eyes were innocent, and he looked at Feng Qing childishly and replied: "My name is Feng Yu. This thing was given to me by my grandfather. I wanted to use it in exchange for some money to bury my mother."
Feng Er muttered in Feng Qing's ear: "Brother, it's our jade plaque for viewing the mountain. There's a high probability that this will be correct. No wonder our father couldn't find this thing when he died."
Feng Qing raised his hand to stop Feng Er from continuing, "I know what's going on, so don't interrupt."
"Child, let me ask you again, what is your grandfather's name? Has he ever said anything to you?"
Feng Yu answered without thinking: "My grandfather's name is Feng Mengui. He once told my father an eight-sentence formula. My father asked me to memorize it in my heart since I was a child."
"Oh? Which eight sentences are they? Please recite them for us to listen to."
"The Golden Gate has three levels, one level and one level. Look from the outside around the mountain. Look from the inside for the fortune. Popularity is the opposite. All three levels are open. If the mountain gate is defeated, the gold will be cut off."
