"According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, one day in the palace, he saw "a bullfighting complexion and a strange light in the sky" in the south. This means that there was a purple gas in the south shining directly in the direction of the Big Dipper where the Jade Emperor was, and the light was weird, like
The candles were lit and the sky was illuminated."
"At that time, a magician beside Qin Shihuang told Qin Shihuang that this was an imperial energy, and it might even have a sword. If the imperial energy in this place is allowed to condense, an emperor will inevitably appear in the next twenty years and overthrow the Qin Dynasty.
.”
"When Qin Shi Huang heard the news, he could not remain indifferent. So, in order to stabilize his family, Qin Shi Huang ordered the warlock to find a way to remove the imperial aura from that place."
"When the warlock found the place where the imperial energy appeared, he found that it was a big mountain. This put him in a bit of trouble. You know, at that time, the productivity of the ancients was low and the equipment was not good, and the imperial energy was buried deep under the mountain.
It’s impossible to destroy the entire mountain.”
Qin Yu was talking slowly, while Li Siqi held her white chin and listened. Both of them faced the Qinhuai River and looked at the passing dock.
"Finally, the sorcerer came up with a way. He sent people to spread the news around Nanjing, saying that there was a batch of gold hidden in that mountain, and the government decided that whoever dug up this batch of gold would get the gold.
Whoever it belongs to."
"This warlock wants to trick the villagers into helping him dig mountains." Li Siqi interjected and expressed her judgment.
"Yes, this was the purpose of the sorcerer. He used gold as a guise to deceive the villagers near Nanjing to dig mountains. After hearing the news, the people were eager to make a fortune. They carried hoes and took care of their children and their whole families went into battle to surround them.
Digging everywhere in the mountains, later literati once used this sentence to describe this matter: "
"Everyone has the desire to seek gold in the mountains, but they don't love their power to dig into the mountains. If they don't get what they want, they won't stop digging, and they won't wait to be driven away."
"This sentence aptly describes the hearts of people at that time. It can be said that people in the entire city of Nanjing, young and old, sick and young, all went to work to dig mountains with the desire to make money. In just one month, the mountains were
Half of it was dug out." Qin Yu nodded and said.
"But don't these villagers think that this is a scam? If there is really gold, why don't the government dig it themselves but give the opportunity to them?" Li Siqi asked with a frown.
"This is because the sorcerer asked Qin Shihuang to write a stone tablet and erected it at the foot of the mountain. You know, in ancient times, the emperor was the highest existence. Isn't there such a saying? Jun Wuxi said, since it is
What the emperor said will definitely not be false. For this reason, the people of Nanjing are convinced that there is gold in the mountains."
"What stone tablet did Qin Shihuang write?"
"The monument is called the Buried Gold Monument, and there are 24 words on it: "Not in front of the mountain, not behind the mountain, not in the south of the mountain, not in the north of the mountain. Someone gets it and makes a country rich."
"If we use our modern language, the words on this stone tablet are like some of the advertisements for real estate sales nowadays. They are extremely tempting. But the ancients were simple and believed Qin Shihuang's words easily, and they dug things for Qin Shihuang in vain.
Of course, the mountain worker, the warlock saw that the imperial energy was almost destroyed, so he secretly found someone to bury some gold to give some sweetness to the villagers who dug the mountain. Those villagers who dug the gold continued to dig desperately, and
Those who didn't dig up gold saw that others had dug up, so they dug too much themselves. They had to dig out some gold no matter what, and they dug day and night until the mountain was hollowed out...
…”
"This is a popular saying in Nanjing called Jinling. Of course, there is also another saying that is related to the Yue Kingdom, but this is too boring to talk about and has no meaning." Qin Yu finished his explanation.
"Buried gold, Jinling, so that's what happened. I still think the first statement is more acceptable. It makes Jinling more legendary this time." Li Siqi said, looking sideways at Qin Yu.
"Who says it's not?" Qin Yu thought of something and sighed: "Nowadays, there are many experts and professors who specialize in studying the origin of some place names, denying some folklore, or exaggerating some folklore
To debunk it, although from a certain perspective, this is an act of seeking truth, but I think that sometimes, it is a good thing to retain some folklore and let the mystery of these folklore still exist.
Phenomenon, if you seek too much truth, it may not be what the people want to know."
"Mr. Qin, why do you know so much about these things?" Li Siqi looked at Qin Yu curiously. In her heart, she really felt that this Mr. Qin was different from ordinary officials.
In today's society, most of the officials' children are busy making money and picking up girls. Most of them are unlearned and have no skills. How can they bother to understand these things? But this Mr. Qin, Li Siqi also found several
The official ladies asked about it, but none of them had heard of Mr. Qin's name. It seemed that Mr. Qin was a very low-key person.
Of course, it is normal that Li Siqi cannot get any information from Qin Yu, because Qin Yu is not from that circle at all. Of course, it is not that everyone does not know Qin Yu. The incident in Beijing caused a lot of uproar.
The name Qin Yu also entered the ears of people in the capital circle.
However, those are the top young men and young ladies. This kind of circle is not something Li Siqi can come into contact with at the moment. Of course, if Li Siqi is willing to sell her sex, with her charming appearance, it is still possible for her to interact with this circle.
"Because that's what I do." Qin Yu said truthfully.
"What do you do? Mr. Qin, you mean you are a Feng Shui practitioner?" Li Siqi's eyes wandered, "I didn't expect Mr. Qin that your hobby is so unique."
Li Siqi interpreted Qin Yu's words to mean that Qin Yu was fond of Feng Shui. Naturally, Qin Yu would not explain more and just smiled. Since Li Siqi had misunderstood, so be it.
"Mr. Qin, the ship has arrived. We will be at the restaurant on the ship at noon." A two-story shipyard decorated with antique style stopped at the port not far away. Li Siqi was happy when she saw the ship.
He said to Qin Yu: "This restaurant is very good. If you want to eat on the ship, you have to make a reservation in advance."
"Okay, let's enjoy it today too, and spend the night in Qinhuai near a restaurant."
…
After boarding the ship, Qin Yu discovered that the space in the ship was larger than he had imagined. The second floor was the private room, while the first floor was the hall. As for the kitchen, it was under the deck.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Yu and Li Siqi walked to the lobby. Li Siqi looked at the environment in the hall and asked the waiter: "Is there no private room?"
"Miss, I'm sorry, all four private rooms have been reserved in advance." The waiter replied apologetically.
"Mr. Qin, there are no private rooms here, how about we find another one?" Li Siqi asked Qin Yu's opinion.
Since becoming famous, Li Siqi has also come into contact with many second-generation rich people and second-generation officials. These people all have a common characteristic, that is, they have a big reputation. They usually eat in private rooms and are absolutely not willing to be in the hall with many people.
Eat together.
"The lobby is not bad, there aren't many people here." Qin Yu replied casually, it was just for a meal. He was not that particular. Besides, it would be more awkward if he and Li Siqi wanted to eat in a private room alone.
Not suitable.
"This gentleman is right. Our hall is also very clean, and the guests are all very well-educated, so there won't be any noise." After hearing what Qin Yu said, the waiter hurriedly said.
"Okay then." Li Siqi nodded, and she and Qin Yu sat down at a table by the window. From here through the window, you can clearly see the scenery along the Qinhuai River.
After Qin Yu and Li Siqi sat down, the waiter took the menu Li Siqi ordered to the kitchen, but Li Siqi asked Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, since you like Feng Shui so much, can you tell me again?"
Talking about Nanjing’s Feng Shui, I remember my grandma would often tell stories about this to my sister and me when we were young.”
"Most of the Feng Shui deeds were adapted by later generations and turned into stories. Since they are stories, they will naturally be more interesting." Qin Yu glanced at Li Siqi and smiled. He knew very well that Li Siqi asked this question.
Firstly, she was probably afraid that there would be no topic between the two of them and the atmosphere would become awkward. Secondly, she also wanted to let herself show off. I have to say that Li Siqi is also a very attentive woman.
"There are many Feng Shui stories in Nanjing. If you really want to talk about it, you can tell it about one day and one night. The most famous one is the "gold burying" scam. This can be said to be the first scam in the Feng Shui industry, but it is not Qin Shihuang's destruction of Nanjing's Feng Shui.
In order to destroy the feng shui of Nanjing, Qin Shi Huang tried his best to destroy Nanjing's feng shui. In the feng shui line, he called this allusion "The First Emperor's Journey to the East to Suppress the King's Qi."
"The First Emperor traveled eastward to suppress the king's spirit?" Li Siqi's eyes lit up, "I find this name very interesting. Mr. Qin, please tell me about it."
"Qin Shihuang had three methods to suppress the imperial power in Nanjing. One of them was to cut mountains, and the other two were to change the flow of rivers and change their names."
When Qin Yu began to explain to Li Siqi how Qin Shihuang suppressed Feng Shui in Nanjing, two old men walked into the hall with the support of a young man and woman, and sat not far from them.
"In the field of Feng Shui, these three methods of Qin Shihuang are called the three axes to suppress the king's Qi. I have already mentioned the first ax before. As for the second ax to change the course of the river, it is related to the Qinhuai River we are now in.
The river has something to do with it.”
The Qinhuai River, formerly known as "Zanglongpu", is an extremely important inland river near Nanjing City. It is also a river with solar terms. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a rebellion, and at that time, 3,000 people jumped into the Qinhuai River and committed suicide.
