Strange events in the imperial capital

The reason why Chu Han asked Xiao Qiantui to come out was based on Mr. Fang’s suggestion, and then contacted the known rumors of unofficial history. The national treasure that Fang Yizhi referred to that can affect the underground magnetic field of Fengshui in the capital may be the mysterious, A huge piece of "Shenmu".But as we all know, this legendary "sacred tree" was destroyed by the Cultural Revolution and should not have existed long ago.

The two shot back in the early morning.Chu Han led Fang San'er straight to the backyard of Fuxue Primary School, and found the oldest large building.This is a typical single-eave Xieshan-top hall in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with yellow tiles and red walls, and sixteen diamond-shaped windows, with a dignified and majestic shape.A horizontal plaque "Shuntianfu University Hall" is hung above the gate of the hall.Signs such as [National Cultural Heritage Building] are hung on the big red pillars at the door.

This hall is now the school's auditorium, where the opening and graduation ceremonies, literary performances and so on are held every year.

Chu Han was only interested in the old things of the past, and then found a large warehouse behind the auditorium exhibition hall.The lights were dark, and the room was full of dust. They held up miniature flashlights and searched among the unorganized piles of old things.There are a lot of old desks and chairs piled up in one corner of the warehouse, which are obviously old.Those cheap chipboard tables and chairs must be eliminated after being updated, and they will be sold as scrap products, so they will not be kept at all.And the things preserved here must have a long history, similar to cultural relics.

Chu Han suddenly became interested, and plunged into the pile of desks and chairs, looking for them with a flashlight, like digging for treasure.

Third Master Fang actually didn't understand, what is Mr. Chu looking for?

However, this person didn't understand and didn't open his mouth to ask, maybe he was afraid that the question would be too stupid, which would make the wise and mighty little Chitose lose face.Chu Han flipped over one thing, and immediately signaled the person behind him with his eyes, "Move it out of the way", and then started to flip over the next one.Grandpa Chitose followed behind to serve, silently carrying away an old table, and stretching out his feet to snatch away a broken chair...

Fang San'er couldn't help asking: "What's the difference between each of these things? Can you tell the difference?"

"Yes." Chu Han's face was full of ashes, and he knelt under a desk to take pictures: "Everyone looks different, can't you tell?"

Fang San'er tilted his head and looked at him...he really didn't see it.Our Fang Chitose is used to making big scenes, and usually doesn't care about details, and his eyes are not very good.

Fang San'er occasionally stretched out his hand suddenly: "Turn your face over and wipe it off for you."

The man then wiped the center of Chu Han's eyebrows, and the little red mole on the brows was stained with dust.

Chu Han almost opened up a passage among the piles of tables and chairs, and dragged out such a table in the innermost.With a small flashlight on, his face was almost lying on the table, and he hooked his hands at the people behind him: "Come here, you can see for yourself."

Fang San'er went over to take a look, and the small desk that Chu Han found was old. It is estimated that only people in the 60s and [-]s would use such solid wood to make desks and chairs.The entire table top is a solid piece of wood, and there is a large piece of wood boil hanging on it.The paint finish has faded.In the bumpy place on the upper right corner of the table, one can vaguely recognize that someone may have carved two characters with a pencil sharpener: [Wang Yu].

Chu Han pointed at the table, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you believe it or not? This is a relic of the 'Shenmu' back then."

They found this cultural relic-grade desk that they thought was used by the boy named Wang Yu.

Fang San'er didn't need to talk nonsense anymore, he probably understood why Chu Han was looking for these things.However, how could Chu Han figure out how to dig out treasures from these tattered desks and chairs?

Chu Han immediately explained his thoughts.

The logic of this matter starts from the beginning.The old people in this city all know that since the city of Beijing was formally established thousands of years ago, it has been inheriting the treasures of five towns and cities for so many years.These five artifacts are enshrined in the five directions of the city's east, west, north, south, and worship the gods of the heavens.In terms of the art of the five elements, the east, west, north, and south respectively refer to wood, gold, fire, water, and earth, and illuminate the spirit of heaven and earth.

Southern Bingdinghuo refers to a beacon-style building outside Yongding Gate that enshrines the Qianlong Imperial Stele, and its scientific name is "Yandun".

Western Gengxin Gold refers to an ancient bell built during the reign of Zhu Di in the Dazhong Temple. When you strike it for 3 minutes, it can be heard in a radius of hundreds of miles.

Rengui water in the north is the water in Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace today, the clear holy water flowing down from the western mountains.

The central Wuji land is Jingshan.Because it is said that the coal used for the imperial palace was piled up at the foot of the mountain. It was an official coal yard in the Ming Dynasty, and the common people called it "Meishan".

These four treasures have tenaciously survived the evolution of dynasties and the passing of time, but only the artifact known as "Oriental Jiayi Wood" that bears the brunt was destroyed decades ago.Water gives birth to wood, and wood gives birth to fire. This piece of "Eastern Divine Wood" is the first of the Five Elements artifacts. It is naturally very important to blend the fire eyes and water veins of the imperial capital in terms of Feng Shui.This thing is lost, is it possible to find it now?

To find the Eastern Shenmu, one must understand the origin and demise of this artifact.It is said that during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial palace was first built, and the officials who were ordered to harvest timber harvested a batch of huge and precious golden nanmu in the most remote and mysterious virgin forest in the west of Daliang Mountain, Sichuan.The holy dragon Yan was very happy, so he sealed this batch of wood as sacred wood, and hurriedly transported it to the capital.

These sacred trees were enshrined from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.During the Qianlong period, some officials wrote the "Shenmu Tablet" specifically for it.Among them is the largest tree, which is known as the treasure of the town. It is about tens of feet long, and the diameter of the tree is more than two people long.The sacred tree was brought down, and the two officials rode on horseback and stood across the tree, unable to see each other.This piece of treasure survived the knife, fire, carving, cutting, and was not made into the pillar of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. Instead, it was preserved and kept in the "Huangmu Factory" at that time.

The "salary" treatment of this huge sacred wood treasure is also very generous.The emperor specially ordered people to build an imperial stele pavilion to enshrine the steles of the sacred wood, and built a promenade with eaves to cover the sacred wood to prevent the sun and rain.Therefore, the great sacred tree of the Huangmu Factory was also considered a special tourist item in the capital back then!

The ruins of Huangmuchang are just a few streets away from the current Beibingmasi Hutong and Fuxue Hutong, and it is nearby.

This royal cultural relic-level tourism project was not spared from the catastrophe of ten years, and was destroyed in the massive wave of destroying the four olds.To completely destroy the legacy of the feudal dynasty, we must not only destroy its body, but also destroy the influence of these so-called artifacts in people's minds. It is best to allow these things to make some contributions to socialist production and give full play to their spare time .Therefore, it is rumored that young rebel generals rushed into the Huangmu Factory in groups, smashed the imperial stele, demolished the pavilions and corridors, and finally sawed the sacred tree.

"I think, the reason why your adoptive father, Mr. Fang, is so obsessed with this piece of sacred wood that he dare not forget it is because he has a guilty conscience. He must have done such things back then. Or, he himself was one of the people who participated in splitting the sacred tree and breaking the divine weapon. , so he knows the truth in his heart." Chu Han said to Fang San'er.

Moreover, such a large piece of high-quality wood has been split into strips, what can it be made of?Chu Han pointed to the old desk in front of him: "If the magnetic field in the prefectural school breaks down, it could be related to the Shenmu. What I can guess is that the piece of Shenmu was sawn open and used as a table for the students. .”

The simple wood, after many years of palm rubbing, the edges are smooth and smooth, without edges and corners.But if you look closely, you can also see that the wood exudes an aesthetic color similar to that of a gold-copper alloy, embedded with delicate veins of veins, dense and hard, and will not shatter when hammered by hand.

Chu Han raised his head and said, "Hey, do you think this wood looks familiar? There are many places in this school that use this wood."

Fang San'er looked at it and said: "It was the first time for us to explore the road. Last evening, the stairs of the main school building were all made of this kind of old wooden boards."

"So, what we stepped on that day was the 'sacred wood'." Chu Han shook his head and sighed: "The stairs are also made of high-quality golden nanmu. It's really a waste of money. A group of scourges back then."

Fang San'er sneered: "Well, it's earth-shattering when you step on it, the lingering sound will last at least a minute, and it must be heard within a radius of fifteen miles."

Chu Han stared at this man and laughed out loud, are you mocking me for walking clumsily like a big clock!

For some reason, now that Xiao Qiantose teased him casually, he also liked to hear it.The surname Fang didn't talk much, and he squinted his eyes arrogantly at ordinary times. It was rare to catch anyone's attention, and he took the teasing as a compliment and listened to the intimate words.This may be the subtle aura of contact between different people.

The following logic is roughly clear.Even if the body of this artifact is destroyed, the fragments of flesh and blood still have some kind of adsorption energy.There are all kinds of life in the world, either ordinary or amazingly talented, in fact, each one has its own biological energy and is unique.Even if it is a dead thing in the eyes of ordinary people, there is a weak magnetic field around it, and it has lived once, and it also has an indelible biological consciousness belonging to them.What's more, that huge sacred tree that gathers the essence of the beautiful mountains and rivers of heaven and earth has grown for millions of years in Daliang Mountain. Even if it is destroyed overnight, the energy accumulated over millions of years will not easily disappear in the world.That energy field is still there, but distorted.

Chu Han guessed that Fang Qiansui should have been absorbed by a little bit of energy carried by the fragments of the Shenmu, sealed in the boy's body, left Suolongjing, and couldn't go back for a while.Year after year, that mouthful of sea eyes has been abolished and started to turn black.In Fang San'er's own words, "Until I finally met you".They found another locked Dragon Well in Dali. Fang San'er must have borrowed the Dragon Well from the Buddha Building in Dali, which had the Buddha's Sanskrit spell, and regained part of his mana.

Chu Han slowly savored the words the other party said, tasting an extremely sad taste, which made him feel very distressed.

After all, Fang San'er shouldn't belong to this place.If the complete and huge "Oriental Jiayi Wood" exists, they should be able to unlock the passage of energy field replacement, find Chenghe who disappeared, and send Xiao Qiantose home completely by the way.

With such an important clue, Mr. Fang didn't have a particularly abnormal expression at that time, nor was he excited or disappointed.

There are some things that Chu Han never asked Fang Chitose, for example, do you want to leave here completely and forever, and return to the place you should go?

There will be no more scorching heat or severe winter, and you will never come back when you leave.

……

Chu Han casually patted Mr. Xiaofang on the shoulder: "If the legend is true, the oriental Jiayi wood should be tens of feet high. The giant sacred tree left by prehistoric civilization is definitely not just a few sets of desks and a staircase. This piece of artifact can be completely reduced to ashes! The Shenmu may not be completely destroyed, but only a part of it, or even a small piece, and most of it is still there. It’s just that we don’t know where this thing is now, or In whose hands."

Third Master Fang nodded, and thought of it: "Before your idiot friend disappeared, he took something he shouldn't have. Since the governor of Dongchang was a figure in the Wanli and Tianqi years, that person may have an imperial plaything in his hand, such as , a string of golden nanmu bracelets cut from which sacred tree."

Everything clears up.

"Yes, so as long as you find the Shenmu ruins, there is still hope." Chu Han said sincerely, there is still hope, not only talking about Mr. Shen, but also Fang Qiansui.

He does things with a sincere heart, never hypocrisy.When some thoughts crossed his mind, it was like tossing and rolling over his heart, but he still treated the person around him sincerely.

In the darkness, the two looked at each other, and Chu Han saw that the water lines in Fang Qiansui's eyes rippled inch by inch, his dark eyes looked at him, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.It's too cold in winter, no matter how warm your heart is, it will freeze back...

Before leaving, Chu Han simply disassembled the pair of desks and removed the table board made of sacred wood.

Third Master Fang wanted to stop him instead: "Don't take this thing casually. But all gods and objects must overcome the mortal body, in case it is not good for your body, hair and skin..."

Chu Han said: "Chenghe dares to take that golden nanmu bracelet, why can't I take this pair of table boards!"

He took the table board away himself, thinking that it would definitely be useful in the future.Maybe it can help Fang Chisui, as long as the other party still needs him.

It was almost dawn, and the two quickly left Fuxue Hutong.

Chu Han was driving the car, and suddenly suggested to the people in the car: "Tired? Are you in a hurry to go back? Otherwise, go to the third master's bathhouse to take a bath. It is more comfortable to take a hot bath in winter."

Fang San'er hesitated: "Forget it, I won't go."

"It's dawn, and there are many people and vehicles in the morning rush hour. It's all the exhaust fumes and the smoke from restaurants. I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable." Chu Han glanced at this person from the corner of his eye, and asked softly, "Would you like to come to my house?"

"Success." Fang San'er didn't hesitate at all this time, and then Chu Han's voice trailed off, and his temper was very straightforward, and there was even expectation in his eyes.

"Hmm..." Chu Han pondered.

He casually said an invitation, tried his best to be indifferent and easy-going, and he never thought that Xiao Qiantose would be able to readily agree.Chu Han's hand holding the steering wheel was slowly getting wet. It might be due to the moisture in the car, and it definitely wasn't his own sweaty palm.

He never invites friends into his home, purely personal living habits are the boundaries and bottom line he grasps for interpersonal communication.To meet friends, only make appointments outside.He can "hang out" in hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers, or any other places of the highest rank, but he doesn't make appointments to hang out in his own home.When he wants to see the two fathers, he will go back to the couple's home, and he will not bring the fathers to his own apartment, engage in parent-child activities or watch the two show their love as husband and wife.Shen Chenghe came out of the restaurant with him twice, got drunk, and stuck to him with a stern face and did not leave. He came to sit at his house, but did not stay overnight.In the evening, Chu Han directly called the driver of Shen's family to come over, and drag the psychopath who was moaning and saying nothing on the sofa away.

However, asking Fang San'er to sit at his house, Chu Han took it for granted.He didn't have any thoughts or ambitions, as if he felt that this person could cross the boundary in his heart and enter the life that really belonged to him.

Everything is very natural when he trusts and likes someone.
