The area around Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province, was the location of Ye City during the Three Kingdoms period. It was also the rumored burial place of Cao Cao. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he built Yedu and built three platforms, namely, the Bronze Sparrow Platform, the Golden Phoenix Platform (also known as the Golden Tiger Platform) and the Ice Well Platform. Until now, only the Golden Phoenix Platform was preserved. It was 120 meters long from north to south, 71 meters long from east to west and 12 meters high. Only the southeast corner of the Bronze Sparrow Platform was left.
Among the three, Bronze Sparrow Terrace was the most famous. The great scholar Cao Zhi had sung a poem called " Ode to Bronze Sparrow Terrace ", which said," Two bridges connect the east and west, like the vast sky." However, he did not want to fulfill Zhuge Kongming's wish. He changed this poem to " Take the two Qiao brothers to the southeast, and enjoy the day and night together." With this, he persuaded Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao and created three parts of the world. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was even a song that said," The east wind is not suitable for Zhou Lang, and the bronze sparrow locks the two Qiao in the deep spring." Poor Cao Zhi, who had the talent to write a poem in seven steps. His masterpiece actually had people changing it again and again. He could only blame his talent for being so high that it was difficult to stop the pirated version.
Ye City was bordered by Taihang Mountain in the west, Zhanghe River and Fuyang River in the north, Huan River and Qi River in the south. It was a place that must be passed from Shandong to the northwest, from the Central Plains to Youyan in ancient times. It was the throat of Hebei and had the reputation of "the waist of the world" since ancient times. In terms of Feng Shui, it was a place where one dragon and four water sources were located. The ancients built a city by relying on the mountain and looking for the dragon vein. The dragon vein was a mountain. The dragon vein of the Heavenly Dynasty all came from Kunlun, and Kunlun was also known as the " Dragon Ancestor."
Mount Kunlun was also known as Mount Sumeru. In the Dragon Shaking Scripture written by Yang Gong, it was written: "Mount Xu Mi is the bone of heaven and earth. Like a man's back and a beam. Four dragon limbs grew out. The four limbs were divided into four worlds, north, south, west, and east. Northwest Kongtong tens of thousands of miles, east into the three curtains is the dark. Only when the Southern Dragon entered the Heavenly Dynasty, the birth of the ancestral temple and the birth of the ancestral temple were strange. The Yellow River bends into the large intestine, and the Sichuan River bends into the bladder. Branches and veins crisscross, qi and blood hook connected to meet water. The big city is the emperor's state, and the small county is the duke. Secondly, there are small towns and cities, and there are also rich and noble people living in these places.”
The Kunlun Mountains had three great dry dragons in Huaxia, with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River as the boundary. The dry dragon south of the Yangtze River was called the South Dry Dragon, the dry dragon sandwiched between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River was called the Middle Dry Dragon, and the dry dragon north of the Yellow River was called the North Dry Dragon. The three great dry dragons were all branches of the southern dragon of Kunlun Mountain, while the Taihang Mountain to the west of Ye City belonged to the northern dry dragon. It seemed that Cao Cao might really have built the Yin House here.
Besides, Sun Weimin and the other three had come for treasure hunting, so they were very diligent. They had been in the mountains for a month in the cold weather. It was almost the first month, but they still didn't find any clues. Although they had touched a few ghost houses, they had all rushed to the "evening scene". They really fell into the saying that nine out of ten tombs were empty.
It was depressing to see that they had not gained anything after so many days of hard work. The food for the four of them had also greatly declined along with their moods. They could not see any big fish or meat, but there were still some carrots and cabbages. The fatty who ate all the time held a "complaint meeting" every day, and his tears often filled his clothes. He was bitter and resentful.
Old Hu and Hu Bayi, the landlord and the rich man (he was in charge of the money), were also depressed and reflected on their actions all day long. They thought of countermeasures and finally decided to move their 'entire army' to the grassroots level. They would rely on the mountains to eat and drink from the sea to save time. They would fight a beautiful battle before the first month and take down Cao Cao. Just like that, the four of them moved out of Linzhang County and lived in the Three Revolving Beams deep in the mountains.
Sanraoliang was a small village in the Taihang Mountains. As the name suggested, the road was definitely not easy to walk through. Otherwise, why was there no electricity? Usually, there were very few outsiders who entered the mountain, especially in this cold winter. Other than the four lunatics, there was no fifth person who entered the mountain. The villagers were very hospitable. They treated Sun Weimin and the others as if they were the " Eighth Route Army ". The young ladies surrounded the courtyard and pointed at them as if they were looking at a man. Old Hu had to give forty-seven packs of matches and sixteen bags of salt to calm the storm. He had to admire them. After all, they were people who had been to the countryside. They were prepared and were very good at buying people's hearts.
Old Hu and the village secretary told them that the four of them were writers from Beijing. They came to the old district to experience life and find inspiration. They would stay for a few days and pay for food, drink, and accommodation. It was good to have a place to stay. The secretary did not suspect anything and immediately went to make the arrangements. Money was always the best. Soon, the four of them found a place to stay. They lived in the secretary's house, and it was the largest main room. It seemed that the secretary's family had moved out. Their family lived in a side room. It was really convenient to eat and drink in his house. Of course, these had to be paid. After the reform and opening up, it was impossible to eat in the main room.
After settling down, the sky was almost dark. After eating a " fresh " dinner, the four of them had nothing to do because there was no electricity. They lay side by side on the brick bed as if they were lying on corpses, trying to find a sense of sleep. When they came, Old Hu had instructed that no one was allowed to mention the fight in the village. Now, there was not even anything to talk about. It was really depressing.
"Why don't we go into the mountains and take a walk? Fatty couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and suggested, but he didn't dare to continue. He didn't forget Old Hu's instructions.
When Old Hu and Jin Daya heard this, they both turned over and gave Fatty a backflip. Old Hu said unhappily,"If you want to go, you go. If you go, it's best not to come back. We can sleep more comfortably."
When Fatty saw that no one bought his words, he couldn't say anything more. He fell back on the brick bed and sighed," It's a bad year." As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He patted Sun Weimin beside him and said," Half Fairy, if you have nothing to do, tell me my fortune. Let's see when I, Old Wang, will make a fortune."
Sun Weimin ignored him and said casually," I've already checked for you. You're destined to be poor for the rest of your life. Sleep well."
How could Fatty fall asleep? He pulled Sun Weimin and asked nervously," Really? Don't scare me." Looking at him, he was probably extremely depressed. His eyebrows were furrowed.
Sun Weimin felt uncomfortable being pulled by the fatty. He explained while pulling the fatty's hand,"Fortune, wealth, and longevity are originally given by the heavens. Although it is fixed, there are also variables. How can this thing be explained clearly? I'm just spouting nonsense and lying to you. I never give people a divination. I only help people solve disasters and solve problems." Sun Weimin was half telling the truth. He really didn't want to give people a divination. Other than the reasons mentioned above, the most important thing was that these things could be called heavenly secrets. He didn't want to talk too much. The kidnapper's father had warned him before,"Accumulate more Yin Virtue and don't reveal the secrets of heaven." Now that he had already lost his Yin Virtue (by participating in the bandit fight), if he leaked the secrets of heaven, he would really be struck by lightning.
"You're talking nonsense. You have to tell me clearly today. Otherwise, my life will be over. Tell me quickly if I'm poor or not!”Fatty already had the intention to kill someone. It seemed that he had a heart disease. Sun Weimin really made Second Aunt narrow-minded and made people remember Shangxin.
" I didn't lie to you. Forget it, it's not allowed. I'll tell you a story and you'll understand." Sun Weimin had no choice but to tell the story again.
It was said that there was a person in ancient times who would tell fortunes and fortune every time. No matter which Yin or Yang he read, he would say that he was destined to be rich and noble. In this way, this person would be happy in his heart. Every day, he would think about how to make a fortune and become an official. He would not do anything to make a living. He would daydream at home every day and wait for good luck. Many years passed like this. Some of his family members died, leaving him alone. Because he was used to being idle, he naturally had no way to make a living. He starved to death before he was thirty. After his death, this person was very angry. When he arrived in the underworld, he cursed the heavens for being unfair and said that he was originally a blessed person. Why did he end up like this? When the judge saw this, he called all the immortals to reason with him. He heard the God of Wealth say,"He is indeed rich. I also sent money to his door, but he was too lazy to even leave the door. He can't blame me." Fuxing also said with grievance,"I have already let him enjoy more than 20 years of happiness, but later his family members were all limited, and he never went out to interact with others. I can't help him if he has no one to rely on." At this time, Lu Xing also came up and complained,"I am the same. I have kept an official position for him every year." However, he had never entered the house. He was lazy to reach out for something that was within reach. I really couldn't help him. In the end, it was naturally the old man who was old. He touched his beard and shook his head.”It was really pushing all the blame onto the first three.
After the story, Sun Weimin spread his hands and said to Fatty,"Now you understand, man can conquer nature."
" Haha, it's really f * cking interesting. Tell me a few more stories." Fatty didn't pursue the matter anymore. He pestered Sun Weimin to listen to a few more stories. Old Hu and Jin Daya were the same. They were interested and urged Sun Weimin to tell a few more stories. Sun Weimin couldn't keep them pestered, so he could only tell them stories. They were all stories about gods and spirits that the kidnapper's father had told him before. The content was more superstitious and scary, and the three men didn't dare to make a sound. In the end, the three men squeezed together and dared to sleep. Fortunately, no outsiders saw it. Otherwise, they didn't know how to misunderstand.
The next day, the four of them left early. The place was poor and they did not have the habit of eating breakfast. They could only follow the customs and climb the mountain with an empty stomach. After walking around, their legs were a little weak. They found a small hill to sit down and relax.
Jin Daya opened the military water bottle and poured cold water as he wiped his sweat. He kept spitting out the ice shards in the water. He was not young anymore, and his body rarely exercised. He had gritted his teeth and persevered for more than a month. It was hard enough for him. Old Hu and Fatty were fine. The hard work of the two of them drilling into the mountains all year round was nothing in their eyes. Although Sun Weimin also felt a little overwhelmed, he recovered quickly after all. He would be fine after a good night's sleep.
The four of them discussed as they rested. Jin Daya said,"Old Hu, it's almost the New Year. If it doesn't work, let's go back to Beijing first. We'll look for it again next year when the weather is warmer. It's the twelfth lunar month. We might freeze to death on this mountain." It seemed that Jin Daya had already decided to retreat.
Fatty and Sun Weimin looked at Old Hu when they heard that. They did not want to stay anymore, but if Old Hu did not say anything, they could not say anything. Now that Jin Daya had mentioned it, they were naturally tempted.
Old Hu didn't seem to have any intention of going back. He patted his military cotton gloves and thought for a while before saying apologetically," It's my fault. Actually, I didn't plan to dig in the middle of winter. I just wanted to step on the plate first and start next spring." This way, he might be able to make two deals next year, but he didn't expect that this time, it seemed that he would be busy for nothing. He looked a little disappointed. He didn't say anything after teasing her and started smoking alone. It looked like he was unwilling to leave just like that. After all, he had worked so hard for so many days. It was difficult to say who would accept it.
Sun Weimin was new and the youngest. He didn't have the capital to complain like Jin Daya. Although he didn't want to do it anymore, he couldn't say anything. He could only say nothing and look at the mountain as the cold wind blew.
Fatty was Old Hu's sworn brother. He would do whatever Old Hu said. Since Old Hu did not say to retreat, he naturally had to help protect him. He ran to Jin Daya's side and patted his shoulder to comfort him." Old Jin, perseverance is victory. Bear with it a little longer. After touching this brother, I will pay to change your teeth into gold lumps. When that time comes, all you eat will be gold dregs. How glorious will it be?"
Even though Jin Daya was so tired that he did not have any strength, Fatty's laughter brought him back to his senses. He scolded angrily,"You're the one with the teeth!" "Do you think these golden teeth are comfortable? If you lose your teeth now, I'll break them off and give them to you." As she spoke, she even stuffed her hands into her mouth and pretended to gesture, as if she was going to break them.
When Fatty saw this, he immediately looked like he had seen a ghost. He waved his hand as he ran and said,"Forget it. I don't dare to take what you pulled out of your big dumpling's mouth. I'm afraid it will bite my tongue."
This time, everyone laughed. Jin Daya symbolically threw a stone at Fatty as a form of protest.
After the joke, the few of them became spirited and continued to walk around the mountain. On the way, Old Hu would discuss Feng Shui with Sun Weimin from time to time. Sun Weimin was very surprised. He didn't expect Old Hu to be so knowledgeable about Feng Shui. What he said was not unreasonable. His opinion of Old Hu didn't change much. He was barely able to settle down in Liangshan.
The four of them started to head back when the sun was setting in the afternoon. They didn't want to spend the night in the mountains. It would be great if it was spring or summer. With the current situation, they couldn't spend the night in the mountains. It was difficult to find the place if they kept going back and forth.
When it was dark, the four of them still hadn't seen the village. This made them worried. If it was completely dark, they really wouldn't be able to go back. They could only spend the night in the mountains. Not only would they not be able to find the place when they climbed the mountain in the dark, but they would also be prone to accidents. If they fell down the mountain, they wouldn't be able to find it either.
" Brother Hu, it looks like we can't go back today. We should find a place to hide before it's too dark. Otherwise, the mountain wind will freeze us to death," Sun Weimin suggested worriedly. He was a person who traveled in Jianghu, so he had some experience in the wild. If he rushed back in such a situation, if the light was cut off halfway, he couldn't go back and had nowhere to hide. That would be the most troublesome.
Old Hu also agreed with Sun Weimin's words. He stopped and looked around, analyzing," Well, it seems like this is the only way. Let's cross this mountain first. It's leeward over there. Hopefully, we can find a cave to hide."
The four of them made up their minds and quickened their pace. Time was tight now. Winter was already dark early. It seemed that this night was destined to be difficult.
