"It's Ha Inkstone." Yue Qing said: "When Taoist priests want to do the Taoist temple, they need to write inscriptions or inscriptions. We have rules to use a cinnabar pen when writing. It takes a long time for cinnabar to dissolve in an ordinary inkstone.
But if you put cinnabar into this inkstone and breathe into it, the cinnabar will dissolve immediately, so you can write immediately. And it is said that no more or less is enough at a time. I also heard this from Boss Tang
.”
Su Bai was suddenly startled: "I have heard of this square inkstone. It is said that there are two natural patterns on the upper left corner of this inkstone, as thin as two small fishes. If you throw it into the water of the inkstone, the fish will swim in the water, and the shape will be lifelike.
It is very strange, and it is said that at noon every day, two small fish will naturally enter the inkstone pond.
After playing for a while, everyone will return to their original places without moving, so some people vividly call this phenomenon Ziwu Guitao."
The King of Hell nodded: "Yes, it was later said that when Zeng Guofan's son Zeng Jize came to Maoshan to view this treasure in the late Qing Dynasty, the old Taoist priest of Maoshan told him about the magic and wonderful uses of the Ha Inkstone. Zeng Jize was so amazed that he dropped the Ha Inkstone on the ground, making Ha
There was a scratch on the upper left corner of the inkstone. From then on, the two small fish could no longer return to the lake, and the whereabouts of Fang Yan were also unknown."
"Only two of the four treasures can be traced." Yue Qing said: "It seems that the first one went to Taizu's tomb to look for the jade seal."
"You don't have much time." The King of Hell said, "One month, you must find all the four treasures within one month."
"What are the benefits to us?" Suber asked.
The King of Hell and the King of Wheels exchanged glances, and the King of Hell said slowly: "Your grandfather, let me investigate for you. How about this exchange?"
Su Bai was speechless now, but also vaguely excited: "Is this true?"
"If you are serious, you must try your best." The King of Hell said.
Subai looked at the other three people for help, and Yue Qing nodded: "It has something to do with Maoshan Cult, so naturally I am indispensable. I will go with you. I think they think so too."
"Nonsense, we are already grasshoppers in the same boat, do we still have a choice?" Cui Ying said, "It just depends on Bai Moxuan's situation."
The Wheel King said in a deep voice: "If you want to act, you must act as soon as possible."
One month lasts, and time waits for no one. Now that he is starting from the jade seal, Su Bai thinks of someone else - Luo Tian. That Fang Ha Yan is mysterious and inexplicable. As a top appraiser, Luo Tian must have heard about it. If you please
He might gain something, Subama
He contacted Bai Yi on the phone and explained the matter. Bai Yi was away with the task of organizing the Yin people. It was inconvenient for him to come back and take him to see Luo Tian. Instead, he arranged a meeting with Luo Tian for him and asked Su Bai to go there on his own.
I went to explain and just happened to get back two repaired jade pendants.
These two jade pendants were smashed when the Khitan treasures were retrieved last time. Now they have been repaired by Luo Tian Restoration Company. They look exactly the same as before, with no cracks visible. Cui Ying looked at the jade pendant in her hand with mixed feelings.
: "It's almost the same as before."
"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there." Luo Tian said: "Something is broken or cracked. This matter cannot be undone. However, if the superficial repair can make people feel at ease, the result is not bad. How about you guys?
What happened this time?"
Cui Ying quickly put the jade pendant away, and Su Bai started to mention Ha Yan. Sure enough, Luo Tian's brows frowned slightly: "Ha Yan, all antique connoisseurs don't want to get it. Unfortunately, like Jiuding, the whereabouts of Ha Yan are unknown. Ha Yan's last
The story is related to the Zeng family. After that, I don’t know where it spread, but there is a saying that Fang Yan is no longer in the country."
"Mr. Luo, this matter is not trivial. You have to help us. We can pay." Cui Ying said anxiously: "We only have one month."
"So urgent?" Luo Tian said: "It seems that you are in trouble again. Let's talk about the money. Regarding this matter... I will try to contact the underground black market abroad to see if I can find its whereabouts."
Yingning was a little confused and tilted her head and said, "What is the underground black market?"
"The black market is an underground trading market that is not recognized by the authorities, and there are many types of transactions." Su Bai said: "This includes a lot of antiques, and they are all circulated to the black market through abnormal channels. Ha Yan is so famous.
If it had appeared in a regular antique market or auction, the news would have spread long ago, so the most likely remaining possibility is that it was lost, and no one knows its whereabouts, and now it is lying in a corner of the world.
Waiting to be discovered, there is also the possibility that someone got it and let it circulate on the black market, where it is now changing hands many times."
Luo Tian looked at Sub Bai with admiration: "Young man, I didn't expect that you know the market very well. Yes, I can only do my best in a month. My exchange conditions are very simple. If I find it, let Bai Yi take a painting."
Come and change.”
"What painting?" Su Bai's scalp tightened. Whether it was the world of the earth or the underworld, these guys were all very clever. They were unwilling to suffer any loss and would always exchange conditions.
""Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"." Luo Tian smiled, very proud.
Su Bai said with a bitter face: "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng of the Song Dynasty, one of the ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. Boss Luo, you are too heavy-handed."
"Don't worry, I dare to speak because I am sure that this painting belongs to Bai Yi." Luo Tian said: "I will look for Ha Yan. If I don't find it, this exchange will naturally not be established. If I find it, it depends on what you can do."
I can’t convince Bai Yi to exchange the painting, but it’s actually fair, isn’t it?”
Subai murmured in a low voice: "Can it be unfair? I have to rely on you now."
"Okay, then it's a deal." Luo Tian laughed loudly: "Remember to tell Bai Yi."
After leaving the antique street, Cui Ying shook her head: "Not all of us are fuel-efficient. It's a pity for those of us who rush to the front line and go through life and death. In the end, we all make wedding clothes for others."
"You can't say that. Didn't the King of Hell agree to find grandpa for Su Bai?" Yingning said innocently, "If we can really find grandpa, grandma's worries will be over."
"Silly girl, it's all a blank check." Cui Ying said: "Grandma spent decades, not counting the first. Later, grandma became a shady agent in the Netherworld. The King of Hell knows about her. If there are clues,
, why didn’t you tell her earlier? Now it’s clear that he wants to use this matter to stabilize us. When the time comes, whether there are any clues will be all decided by him, the King of Hell. Tell me, what is this if it’s not a blank check?”
Cui Ying explained clearly, but Yingning felt as if he was struck by lightning, with a small face full of grievances: "How can this be done?"
"Oh, if I don't say you are innocent, nothing in the world can be so fair." Su Bai looked away: "Little girl, let's just do our best. The King of Hell is Xu's empty promise, and so are we. Maoshan's Four Treasures
It's easy to say, but whether we can find it within a month is another question, so we didn't lose anything, it's a tie."
Only then did Yingning feel a lot more comfortable: "Yeah!"
Subai's eyes rolled: "Well, don't we notify Boss Bai for the time being?"
Cui Ying guessed Subai's thoughts and said happily: "You brat, you're starting to play tricks on me too."
Su Bai chuckled: "There is no way."
After negotiating with Luo Tian, the four of them began to prepare to go to Taizu's Tomb. Subai checked the information and found that Taizu's Tomb was one of the emperor's tombs that had not been stolen so far. It is said that on the day of the funeral, the four city gates were lifted up at the same time.
The coffin left the city and headed in thirteen directions. Shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, it was spread in Nanjing that he was not buried in Xiaoling. This was just a tomb for him. He was actually buried under the Sanqing Highness of Chaotian Palace.
Yue Qing also found in Maoshan classics that a strange thing happened in Xiaoling Mausoleum. After Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, every night, a woman's cry would be heard in Xiaoling Mausoleum, especially late at night.
It was desolate and miserable. Some brave people organized to go to the entrance of the underground palace of Xiaoling at night to hear what happened. Only when the woman cried intermittently did they know the whole story. It turned out that
Only a few pieces of Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes were placed in the Xiaoling Underground Palace, and his body was not buried at all. Empress Ma stayed alone in the underground palace. She was so sad because she missed her husband. Xiaoling Mausoleum was not stable, and nearby
The people were also frightened. Finally, a Taoist named San Xuzi, one of Maoshan's ancestors, went to perform a ritual ceremony, and the cries in the Xiaoling Mausoleum stopped being heard.
Things in Maoshan classics have never been recorded in official history, but if they appear in them, there must be some basis for it. It can be seen that the tomb of Taizu is not in Xiaoling, and it is rumored that Taizu's body was transported using a enchantment device.
The explanation of going to the underground palace is very convincing - go out through four doors and walk in thirteen directions.
Yue Qing found an ancient map from that time and marked the thirteen directions one by one. Subai asked: "Have you discovered anything?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang himself is well versed in astronomy and has a little knowledge of Feng Shui. The place he finally chose must be a Feng Shui treasure." Yue Qing pointed to thirteen directions: "You see, coming out of the capital at that time, these four directions were first of all inaccessible.
The ones taken are exactly the five ghost positions I mentioned before, and the four city gates correspond to the four five ghost positions, so these four directions can be eliminated, and there are still nine left."
"Choose one out of nine." Cui Ying took a breath: "It's not easy."
"Calm down, calm down." Yue Qing seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes fixed on the map, and suddenly he patted his thigh vigorously: "From the perspective of the burial site, the mountains and rivers of a thousand feet are powerful, and the mountains and rivers of a hundred feet are powerful.
The landscape is called shape. If it fits the situation, there is only one place like this!"
Yue Qing's hand pointed at a mountain: "This is it."
Suba took a blue pen and drew a circle on it: "Are you sure?"
"If the situation and shape are in harmony, it will be good; if the situation and shape are in opposition, it will be bad." Yue Qing said: "In the remaining nine directions, the situation and shape are always contradictory, and if the situation is bad, the situation is good, and only the original hundred kinds of blessings are left.
A kind of blessing can be retained. If the situation is auspicious in the distance but inauspicious in the immediate area, disaster will strike a few days after the burial. Therefore, only here is the best direction, and only here, the situation is auspicious."
The remaining three people exchanged glances, and finally Su Bai made the decision: "We believe you, so let's go here!"
