Chapter 019 The First Secret

In addition to this exquisite mural, I found that wherever the light of my flashlight reached, there were bookshelves full of bookshelves. Although these bookshelves were old, they were definitely not from the last three generations. If they were products of that era, I am afraid they would be It has long since turned into dust. The material of these bookshelves is quite exquisite, they are all made of huanghuali hardwood, and the rows extend to the end of the light. The nearly a thousand bamboo slips and 120,000-character silk books unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb were called by Guo Moruo "an unparalleled harvest", but they were just a drop in the bucket compared with those here.

"This is simply a library." The grandeur in front of me cannot be described as "shocked". "With so many books, what secrets are hidden here?"

There was so much life in such a big cave, and I felt a sudden chill all over my body. I roared "Ah", the sound was extremely loud, which emboldened myself, and I felt so happy after venting. I started my inspection from the left and walked along the stone wall. There were no murals on the stone wall, and the mottled spots were visible at a glance. At the end, turn to the other side and walk a few steps. A red wooden door reflects the light and is particularly conspicuous.

Push hard, shine the flashlight, and it feels like being struck by lightning for a moment.

I saw a well-dressed man with his back to me.

Subconsciously, my hands kept shaking as I stared at my mouth and spit.

The man was wearing Hanfu, his shadow was clear, and he was sitting at the table as if he was reading a book, motionless. Time seemed to stand still and my heart was about to beat out of my chest.

"Who?!" I shouted directly, my voice was trembling, and my palms were covered in cold sweat.

But the man remained motionless.

"Who the hell are you?!" I asked again, but still didn't move.

So, I turned the flashlight to the brightest, pointed it at his head, and slowly walked to the side, gradually revealing his cheeks.

"Fuck! It's actually a statue, made of stone!" Only then did I realize that it was just a stone statue.

I walked up to it and took a closer look. This dress was indeed gorgeous and beautiful, looking as new as after thousands of years. "How did the ancients do it? If it is said that the Mawangdui Xin Zhui has not decayed for thousands of years, it is already miraculous, and the plain yarn Zen clothes are exquisite." It’s unparalleled, but compared to the plain yarn Zen clothes, this dress is simply as good as in heaven or on earth.”

A scroll of letters is spread out on the stone table, with neatly carved small characters. Although it is in traditional Chinese, it is basically understandable.

"Is this the so-called secret?" I illuminated the table brightly and unfolded the letter from the top. On the first bamboo piece was engraved - "Golden Seal Script and Jade Letter".

"Damn, it turned out to be "Gold Seal Script"!" I couldn't help but be shocked.

It is said that this "Gold Seal and Jade Letter" is a secret book left by the Yellow Emperor, which has been hidden on the snow top of Kunlun Mountain. Later, he was accidentally found by Jiang Ziya. He used the alchemy in the secret book to help the Zhou Dynasty defeat Zhou, and the Zhou Dynasty prospered for 800 years. During the Warring States Period, it was passed on to Gui Guzi, who passed on the secret technique to his apprentices - Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan. These people all became outstanding generals and ministers in the annals of history. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang obtained the secret book from the old man Huang Shigong, which prospered the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. However, Zhang Liangliang was very clever. He split and deleted the "Golden Seal Script and Jade Letters" so that future generations would not be able to see the whole story. Later, it was added, subtracted and repaired by able men and gods of all dynasties, and what is now passed down to the world has changed beyond recognition.

According to the fragmentary texts, various factions have been formed over thousands of years, which are generally divided into the five arts of mountain, medicine, fortune, divination and fortune-telling, collectively known as the five arts of metaphysics. Among them, "mountain" is the most profound and mysterious, and is divided into five arts: immortality, Taoism, illusion, spirit, and military. "Mountain" is the most difficult state to reach in the secret arts. Strictly speaking, it is the knowledge of mortals cultivating immortals. Now it seems that this is an out-and-out "superstition". During the Ming Dynasty, a master of "mountain" magic named He Yeyun defected to Chen Youliang and was worshiped as a military advisor. "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that this person "knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and knows all the five elements of Feng Shui. He is known as the 'Flea Fairy' in the world. After Chen's death, he escaped from the world." Zhu Yuanzhang must avenge his enemies. After he ascended the throne, he crazily destroyed the "Shan" sect and burned the books. From then on, the "Shan" technique was lost.

"Why did our ancestors pass down this book? What's the mystery?" I read it carefully, but many places were obscure and difficult to understand. I couldn't figure it out, so I had to skip it.

"Pray for peace!" When I saw these two words, I was even more surprised.

The so-called "Qiu" refers to the method of praying. The essence of "Qiu" is "life extension". The "life extension" technique in ancient legends comes from here. This is similar to the fact that the dragon bone contains infinite "eternal life" power. The above is derived from the same source. "Three Kingdoms" records that Zhuge Liang observed the sky at night and saw that his natal star was dim and the end was approaching, so he set up the Big Dipper array and performed the prayer technique to renew his life to the sky. He had to do this for seven days and seven nights in a row. One year of life, twelve more years of life. But on the last day, the main lamp was accidentally stepped on by Wei Yan, and Zhuge Liang vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Su Shi lamented in his poem that "the soldiers have already worn the talisman, but the life is still lingering." Many people in the metaphysical community believe that "extending one's life" is a witchcraft and goes against the laws of nature and ethics. Nowadays, in the Northeast, there are still warlocks who are good at "extending life", which makes people sigh and sigh.

"It turns out that there is really a way to live forever in this world. Although this method of praying for life is a Taoist method and is not as evil as the dragon bone, this method may really be able to extend your life. The ancestors hid this book here as a gift. The most important thing is not to let this thing see the light of day and be used by people with bad intentions to cause catastrophe."

"This kind of 'life extension' technique is just as evil as things like 'opening ghost eyes' and 'black dragon making soup'. The so-called immortality does not exist at all. Even if it exists, it is not what this world really needs. . If people with evil intentions misuse the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", I would rather destroy the book."

"However, if it is really destroyed..." I still hesitated and thought to myself, "Considering how big the universe is, human beings are just a grain of dust in the vastness. There are many unsolved mysteries. Waiting for us to unravel it, this "Golden Seal and Jade Letter" is the crystallization of human command. If it is destroyed in my hands, it will be a big sin."

I looked at it for a long time until I was tired. I stood up and stretched, not realizing that I had been sitting for so long. At a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that the clothes were neatly worn on the stone statue. It was indeed strange.

"Look at this stone statue. It's carved lifelike. It's an old man... No, could this man be the Yellow Emperor?" A bold idea came to my mind.

"This mural and the "Gold Seal Script" cannot be a coincidence, there must be some connection."

It is said that when the Yellow Emperor was one hundred years old, he climbed Kongtong Mountain alone again. Go to the bottom of the mountain, use your knees to climb up the mountain. The sand and gravel are like blades, the knees are broken and bleeding, and the stones everywhere they pass are stained red with blood. This kind of stone can still be seen at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, and the locals call it "blood stone". When he reached halfway up the mountain, Guangchengzi sent a golden dragon to pick him up. When the Yellow Emperor saw Guangchengzi, he bowed his head again and asked for advice on how to cultivate one's moral character and cultivate one's character in order to achieve immortality. Guangchengzi said, "The essence of the Tao is graceful and graceful; the extreme of the Tao is dim and silent. Ignore and listen, embrace the spirit to be still, the form will straighten itself, and it will be quiet and clear. No need to work your heart, no wavering Your spirit, if you keep your mind and your energy calm, you can live forever. Your eyes can see nothing, your ears can hear nothing, and your heart cannot know anything. You will keep your shape, and your shape will lead to longevity." After saying this, he gave him a volume of "Natural Sutra". Huang Di kept every word in mind, and felt his heart and eyes brightened, and he bowed again and retreated.

After Huang Di asked Guangchengzi, he went to Wangwu Mountain and obtained the "Alchemy Sutra" from the immortal. Afterwards, he returned to Jinyuntang to rest in peace. When the Yellow Emperor was one hundred and twenty years old, he collected copper from Shou Mountain and cast nine tripods at the foot of Jing Mountain. "Historical Records" records: The copper from Shou Mountain was quarried and the tripod was cast at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the tripod was completed, a dragon with beard hanging down from its beard came down to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode up, and more than seventy people from the harem of ministers came up. Long Nai rode up. Yu Xiaochen was not allowed to go up, but he was holding the dragon's beard. The dragon's beard was pulled out and fell to the Yellow Emperor's bow. When the people looked up to the Yellow Emperor and ascended to heaven, they hugged his bow and beard. Therefore, the place was later named "Dinghu" and his bow was called "Wuhao". Li Bai wrote "Fei Long Yin" and praised "Flying in the blue sky is an indescribable joy."

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, known as the "No. 1 Mausoleum in the World", only contains a boot that the Yellow Emperor dropped when he ascended to heaven on a dragon.

"Whether the Yellow Emperor attained enlightenment and became an immortal or gained eternal life, one thing that is inseparable from all these legends is the dragon. The golden dragon, dragon beard, and flying dragon are all no coincidence. There must be an internal connection. To break the relationship between them Some mythical fabrications, could it be that the Yellow Emperor once obtained this 'dragon', and then gained the power of eternal life."

I was thinking about this while searching for clues on the mural. I saw that this mural was painted with majestic power, and the gods, mountains and immortals were so lifelike that it made people fascinated. Taking a closer look, there was nothing unusual about the murals, the ground was clean, and there were no scattered stones.

In the eyes of Fangxian Taoist priests, Huangdi not only had innate talents that were superior to ordinary people, but he was also eager to learn and was tireless in learning. With the dignity of an emperor, he asked questions in Kongtong and Limu, which can be regarded as a model for those who learn Taoism and cultivate immortality. "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" writes that "the alchemists of Qin and Han Dynasties will never adhere to Laozi. Even if they rely on Huangdi, they are not Taoists." Therefore, Huangdi was also the ancestor of Taoism. He was proficient in various magics and left behind many Taoist classics.

"The secret at the bottom of the dragon burial pit..." I was thinking about the mystery. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed out of the darkness. I never thought that there were other living creatures here. He was so frightened that he almost fell down.

Fortunately, there was a table to hold on to and I didn't fall. I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I quickly pulled out the short knife hidden in my shoe, turned around and swung the knife, and hit the approaching black figure.

I heard a flash of lightning, and I slashed the thing solidly. It roared, and I took advantage of this gap to fly up and kick it aside. Just as the thing was about to get up, I had already hit it with a knife, but I didn't expect that the thing was far more sensitive than I thought. I didn't swing the knife at it, and the thing had already turned over and stood up.

I hurriedly took a few steps back, and then my field of vision was dark again. I got closer step by step, panting. At this time, I used the flashlight to look around, and found that it wanted to become menacing and disgusting.
