Chapter 701

Lin Zhongxiu said, "In this case, let's make a plan. This map is a topographical map around Chengdao Palace that I drew. According to my observations, there are several general nodes in the circulation of Feng Shui and Earth Qi around Chengdao Palace. And The tomb of the living dead is at this location, and the other Fengshui nodes that are far away can be ignored. Because in ancient times, it was impossible to have any modern mechanical tools like we do now. Therefore, the location of the vent must not be too far away. "

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That's right. If there is indeed a vent, it must be around the tomb of the living dead. It may not even exceed the scope of the Taoist Palace."

Lin Zhongxiu took a pen and drew on the blueprint, "Hong Jianguo has already judged the approximate scope of the underground building of the Tomb of the Living Dead. And I studied architectural design. According to my guess, there is more than one ventilation hole. So the most It might be here, here, and here." She circled a few points on the drawing with a pen. "Now all we have to do is determine where to start."

Hong Jianguo thought for a while and said, "I personally think it's more certain to start from this place."

"What's the reason?" Long Boldly frowned. "I think the location of this point seems to be far away from Chengdao Palace."

Hong Jianguo smiled and said, "The Chengdao Palace is four or five miles away from the Chongyang Palace. The Chongyang Palace and the Chengdao Palace were first built in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the decline of Taoism, most of the buildings in the Chongyang Palace and the Chengdao Palace were destroyed. Now, the buildings of the Chengdao Palace we see include the Jade Emperor Hall, the Chongyang Hall, the Yaowang Hall, the Tombstone of the Living Dead, etc. They were all restored later. And the building orientations are only roughly similar, but in fact they have been restored. away from the original location."

"So that's the case." Long boldly nodded.

"So this location, although it looks far away now, was the original site of Chengdao Palace. And the rest of the locations have been refurbished and constructed for many years, and the vents located underground may have been damaged long ago. Yes. On the contrary, this relatively far away place, because it is not within the scope of the newly built Daoist Palace, the possibility of damage should be relatively small. And because it is not within the scope of the Chengdao Palace, it is easier to attack." Hong Jianguo said.

"I think this method is feasible." Lin Zhongxiu nodded.

"In that case, I'm going to prepare. During this period of time, I will try to make an underground passage along the original ventilation opening so that you can enter the underground building of the Tomb of the Living Dead." Hong Jianguo said.

Fan Jiannan frowned, "What are you going to do?"

"That can't be disclosed." Hong Jianguo smiled slightly, "People like me naturally have some special methods. And this method cannot be disclosed to outsiders according to the old rules."

Fan Jiannan also smiled slightly, "Understood, then please."

"Today is Tuesday. I will definitely have news next week, and I will inform you at that time." Hong Jianguo smiled and said, "I won't delay you, I still have some preparations to complete." Long Boldly said goodbye to Lin Zhongxiu and walked out.

Fan Jiannan looked at Lin Zhongxiu and said, "Is this Hong Jianguo reliable?"

"Of course. He once learned feng shui in the Yin House from my second sister-in-law. Although he is not a member of the Kanyu School, or even a practitioner, this man is righteous and worthy of trust." Lin Zhongxiu said.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That's good. There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Long said boldly.

"You have been in Xi'an for a few days, haven't you noticed anything about King Marshall?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Long boldly shook his head and said, "No, everything seems to be peaceful. Apart from the troubles of the police, nothing happened. Why, are you still worried about King Marshall?"

"Things happen for a reason. He will not send me this ticket for no reason." Fan Jiannan sighed, "I met him once in India, and this King Marshall can become one of the directors of the council , by no means by chance."

"But he doesn't show up, no matter how much you worry about it, it's useless. As long as we are more careful, nothing major will happen." Long boldly said, "By the way, have you contacted Cang Yunxiao yet?"

"I've already found him, and his affairs are a bit troublesome, and a group of Japanese practitioners has been involved." Fan Jiannan said with a wry smile, "But now he should be fine and recovering."

"Japanese artist? It's Kisho Kikube again!" Long Boldly said in astonishment.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "This time it's not people from the Yin-Yang style. It's a more mysterious group of practitioners. They are Dongying Esoteric School, which is what we often call Dongmi. And I have a hunch that this group of practitioners seems to be in harmony with The Yishu Council has a deep connection. By the way, why did you think of asking Cang Yunxiao?"

"The thing is like this. The more I think about the Jin Guan Yu Suo Jue, the more I think about it these days, the more I feel a little wrong. I'm afraid Lin Zhongxiu wants to use feng shui to solve this puzzle or it's wishful thinking. I think it should be feng shui and inner alchemy." Combining with each other is the key to unraveling this mystery. Analyzing Wang Chongyang's geomantic omen from the structure of the cemetery of the living dead can only be used as a reference. To truly unravel the formula of the golden pass and jade lock, there must be someone who is familiar with Taoist inner alchemy " Long boldly sighed, "It's a pity I can't convince Axiu."

"Maybe, but we don't have a better understanding of this for the time being. Starting from the tomb of the living dead is a good choice. In any case, we can get some inspiration from it. Even as you said, several aspects need to be confirmed by each other .Then Fengshui must be one of them, don't forget. The Jinguanyu lock formula that locks the orifices of the earth is just a kind of Fengshui bureau." Lin Zhongxiu said.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "This Wang Chongyang, after so many years, still gives us descendants such a headache. He is really a strange person. But no matter what, the existence of the Golden Pass and Jade Lock Art must be the basis for it." However, the laws of spells have remained unchanged for thousands of years. According to these basic laws, we can still find out the truth. It just takes more time. It takes Hong Jianguo a week to find and open the vents of the tomb of the living dead. What are you going to do during this time?"

"What else can I do? Of course I'm waiting here." Long boldly said.

"Instead of waiting stupidly, why don't you take this opportunity to go out and have fun and relax completely." Fan Jiannan shrugged. I know Wang Chongyang. It’s not just the tomb of the living dead. Isn’t there the Chongyang Palace?”

"What we see now are all rebuilt in the later period. The style is imitated the Taoist architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The original appearance of the Chongyang Palace is long gone. And even if it is, it is unlikely to be from the hands of Wang Chongyang. Only living The tomb of the dead was really created by Wang Chongyang. That's why it is worthy of research." Lin Zhongxiu said. "I have collected some relevant information about Wang Chongyang here, and I don't know if it will be helpful to us."

After speaking, he took out a stack of written materials.Fan Jiannan picked it up and roughly doubled it.

His ancestral home is Dawei Village, Xianyang, Shaanxi. He was born in a common landlord family and moved to Liujiang Village, Zhongnan County.He was good at reading when he was young, and later entered a government school, and became a Jinshi in the middle school. He was a student of Jingzhao.In the first year of Jin Tianjuan, in response to Wu Quanzhen's teaching strategy, he was named Shixiong in the middle class.At the age of 47, he deeply felt that "the advancement of civil and military affairs sent by heaven will not achieve anything", so he resigned angrily, entered Taoism with great enthusiasm, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

In the fourth year of Jin Zhenglong's reign, he abandoned his home and traveled abroad, claiming that he met a stranger in Ganhe town and taught him the inner practice formula, and became a monk after enlightenment.In the first year of Jin Dading, he dug a tomb in Nanshi Village and named it "Tomb of the Living Dead", also known as "Xingxuan". He lived in it and devoted himself to practicing it for 2 years.Three years later, he made Danyuan and moved to Liujiang village.In the seventh year, he begged alone, left Tongguan in the east, and went to Shandong to teach and establish Quanzhen Taoism.

He is good at teaching randomly, especially good at persuading scholars with poems and songs, and shocking the world with magic and weirdness.In Shandong Ninghai and other places to preach the teaching method.At the same time, Ma Yu, Sun Bu'er, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, and Wang Chuyi were successively accepted as disciples, and the Quanzhen Sect was established.

It seems that before the establishment of Quanzhen Taoism, Wang Chongyang's life and deeds were not recorded much.Most of the later ones also belong to some legends and conjectures.There is no actual basis.This makes the life of the founder of Quanzhen Taoism even more confusing.

"Mysterious and weird, shocking?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes, this is the official history record. In fact, it doesn't matter if you think about it. This person should be a very capable practitioner, and he should also practice first-class Taoism in Shanshu. Because he was once in Jintianjuanyuan In the middle of the year, there are martial arts Jinshi, and the Quanzhen Taoism does not focus on talismans, does not practice alchemy, but emphasizes the cultivation of inner alchemy. This is also consistent with the emphasis on martial arts training in the Shanshu school." Lin Zhongxiu said.

"It seems that you did not miss your homework during this trip." Fan Jiannan said with a smile, "But I have not been a good student since I was a child, and I have never been too lazy to do my homework."

"I know you don't think so, but you should still read this." Lin Zhongxiu sighed.

"What?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Another book written by Wang Chongyang, "Book of Changes". It contains an in-depth exposition of Zhouyi, physiognomy, and nature in his middle age. Some of the contents are also extremely valuable in modern times. There are also outstanding researches on magic arts. If he is not a real magician, he would not be able to write this book at all." Long boldly said.

Fan Jiannan took the book suspiciously and flipped through it, the expression on his face became a little serious, "Where did this book come from?"

"I found it at an old book stall." Long Boldly smiled slightly. "Ordinary publications are not rare books, but it can still be seen from them that the Golden Guan Yu Suo Jue was indeed written by him. Because there are some idiomatic expressions in it." And the customary way of writing is exactly the same as the Jinguanyusuo Jue."

"An old book stall?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, "This book is still in vertical traditional characters, and it doesn't look like it was published in Hong Kong or Taiwan. Even if it is a modern publication, it must be before the popularity of simplified characters. It is quite old, and it will not be too common. How could there be such a book on an old bookstall?" He changed his expression and said, "Take me to that old bookstall to have a look."
