Chapter 1,390: Three feet underground, bless me Ziyin
The "Hong Chuan" vividly described in the Tiandi Huihui book is actually located in Zhouhu Village.
Only when they see this ancient boat-shaped house do many people truly realize that they have seen a real "Hong Chuan".
What's more important is that there is such a code word in the meeting book.
"What material was the ship made of? 36 on the top and 72 on the bottom, a total of 108."
Think of the 36 patios, 72 floor drains, and 108 houses in the houseboat.
It convinced many people that this was by no means a coincidence, but coincided with the early "Water Margin" worship of the Tiandihui.
Later, in the county annals, records were found that the Heaven and Earth Society used Theravada Buddhism to spread.
So the repeated appearance of the Buddhist swastika in Zhouhu Village is related to this?
There is actually a very obvious explanation for the swastika.
Since Tiandihui respected Wan Yunlong as its ancestor, in the early days, the brothers of Tiandihui all called themselves Wan.
Just like the monks all have the surname Shi, the word ten thousand has a special meaning in the Tiandihui.
Perhaps this is the swastika, as more convincing evidence of the communication code between the Heaven and Earth Society.
After careful investigation and comparison with the Tiandi Hui's membership records, some people concluded that the Huang Ancestral Hall was probably built after the layout of the Renyi Hall of the Tiandi Hui.
Of course, the mystery behind it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to see through.
Even so, many experts have drawn preliminary conclusions based on various signs in the houseboat.
If this is just speculation, then the following stories and discoveries about the owner of the house have revealed an unknown treasure.
The "swastika" stone slab of Lichuanzhou Lake Boathouse is the key to this.
They used to be mounted on windows, and there were more than sixty pieces of them, large and small.
No one can imagine that these inconspicuous decorative fabrics can constantly reveal the secrets of treasures.
Nothing comes out of nowhere.
Coupled with the mystery of the boathouse, people have no doubts about the treasure hidden in Huang Huilou.
If a small businessman suddenly becomes rich and wealthy, he must have countless gold and silver hidden away.
Such a unique house must cost a lot of money.
In addition to the money earned from doing business, it is very likely that he also hid the gang's belongings.
It has been said in Zhouhu Village that a large number of Tiandihui treasures are buried in the boat-shaped ancient house.
The old people in the village still remember the acrostic poem left by the owner of the houseboat while searching for treasures for future generations.
Eight words selected from the poem: "Three feet underground, bless my son's shade."
These eight words are undoubtedly talking about the whereabouts of the treasure.
However, over the past 100 years, many people have "digbed three feet deep" in the courtyard of this ancient house countless times, but they are still looking for it, but no trace of the treasure has been found.
Where did the owner of the ancient house, Huang Huilou, hide his treasure?
In 1932, a plane bombed this place and blew down the wall behind it.
Later, the people discovered that there were a lot of cakes the color of cow dung inside, a total of 16 loads, and later found out that they were longevity ointments.
Each basket currently holds one hundred and sixty kilograms of rice.
One load is one hundred and sixty kilograms. Calculated this way, this batch of Fushou ointment is quite large.
In the past, when Fu Shou Ointment was produced in the Qing Dynasty, one tael of gold was worth about one pound according to the current ratio. According to the original price, the quantity was quite large.
There are a total of 2,560 kilograms of longevity ointment. Even if it is exchanged for gold, it can be exchanged for 256 kilograms.
Two hundred and fifty-six pounds of gold can now be sold for more than 47 million.
This was definitely a huge fortune, but for Hongmen at that time, it didn't seem that great.
If these longevity ointments are important to them, then there is no way to transport them and sell them.
It is because of the discovery of this batch of Fushou Ointment that many experts believe that the relationship between the treasures hidden in the ancient house and the Tiandihui is more obvious.
The rows of neatly arranged houses with the same structure in the houseboats are actually the "Hongmen Inn" where the Tiandi Society secretly communicates and gathers. It is also the base for the preservation and transfer of the Tiandi Society's wealth.
The unique design of having multiple doors in one house and connecting each household is to prepare for unexpected events.
When encountering a sudden change, you can escape at any time no matter where you are.
Historical records show that after the Fushou Drug War in 1840, armed uprisings by the Tiandihui against the Qing Dynasty occurred one after another, spreading throughout the southern provinces.
The Qing court's suppression became even more bloody and cruel.
According to the Records of the Qing Dynasty, in the 24th year of Daoguang's reign, which was the year when the Zhouhu boathouse was built, an incident occurred in Hu Jian, Xijiang, where the Tiandihui looted the government's salt and tea taxes.
Emperor Daoguang issued a decree and ordered officials from Xijiang and Hujian provinces to coordinate their efforts to suppress and punish him severely.
Perhaps, just before such an incident, Huang Huilou got wind of it in advance, so he abandoned the house and fled in a hurry.
This may be the reason why the beams in the old house have been painted, but the doors and windows have not had time to be painted.
It is conceivable that Huang Huilou did not go far at that time.
His eyes were always watching the houseboat silently. His figure appeared in various post roads connecting Xijiang Hujian, wandering between Shouchang Temple and Jinzhu Peak, secretly controlling everything that happened in the houseboat.
In the following ten years, he faithfully fulfilled his mission and guarded the wealth of this houseboat.
This can also be used to explain why this houseboat looks luxurious and elegant, but the owner is nowhere to be found.
Because he is the guardian of wealth, not the owner.
It is conceivable that Huang Huilou, who has gone through many trials and tribulations, must be a man of firm faith and guard his secrets throughout his life.
More than ten years later, Huang Huilou took these secrets with him and sank into the depths of history.
This old house, where he had devoted his whole life's efforts, had always kept the secret behind him.
Until one day in 2006, a bizarre thing happened in Zhouhu Village.
A secret that had been hidden for nearly two hundred years was finally revealed.
Every April, Xijiang enters the continuous rainy season, and the Huang Clan Ancestral Hall, which never leaks rain, actually begins to rain.
In order to prevent the gable wall from collapsing, the village committee decided to send people to repair it.
The hired craftsmen climbed up the ladder and gently opened the ceiling piece by piece.
Suddenly, he was so frightened that he ran down the stairs rolling and crawling.
The craftsman kept screaming: "Snake, snake, big black snake!"
How could there be a snake on the ceiling? Later, the village found some brave people and planned to go and take a look.
He held a flashlight in one hand and a harpoon in the other to catch the snake.
He climbed up carefully, under the light of a flashlight.
Sure enough, I saw two big motionless snakes on the wall.
He looked carefully and saw clearly that it was a mural.
There is a flying dragon on the left and right sides of the mural, and a tripod in the middle!
This is a painting, and it is a mural with a very profound meaning.
