Chapter 592 Scepter

597, Scepter

Since they decided to sell even Mr. Jiang's "birthday gift", the Wei brothers had no other concerns and arranged some "hot" things.

"Brother, are we going to sell this too?" Wei Cheng looked at what his brother was holding, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Anyway, we are already like this now, what are we afraid of?" Wei Zhong's eyes revealed a crazy look.

Wei Ben wanted to say something, but seeing his brother's "crazy" expression, he finally chose to pretend to be dumb and swallowed his words.

You have to know that what the brother in front of you is holding is not an ordinary thing. This stick made of gold is not ordinary.

The origin of this stick is not small. It is said that this thing was once the scepter used by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty for sacrifice. The whole scepter is made of gold and is carved with various Chinese mythical beasts. The most attractive thing is the nine dragons and nine phoenixes next to it, and the man wearing a crown in the middle, who is said to be Emperor Fuxi.

At the top of the scepter is a transparent white jade stone. If it were not for the old man of the Wei family to get this thing himself, they would all suspect that it was just glass. At the end of the scepter is a small tripod with three legs.

This thing was personally ordered by the old man of the Jiang family to get it from the old patriarch of the Wei family. At that time, the Wei family also sacrificed half of the family's good hands for this thing.

As for why so many people were lost, we have to talk about the Feng family.

The Feng family is said to have been passed down from the Tang Dynasty. The first ancestor was Feng Bugui, who was named "Guanshan Taibao" by the Empress Wu. This person has been obsessed with Feng Shui and cultivating immortals in his early years, but you have to know that in ancient times, if you want to cultivate immortals, you must first have enough food.

Forced by livelihood, Feng Bugui began to be in charge of the work of "Qintianjian" for Emperor Gaozong of Tang at that time. After Emperor Gaozong of Tang passed away, Feng Bugui's talent began to show.

However, although he had enough "pension money" at this time, he was still not reused. It was not until Emperor Wu summoned him that his life began to turn around.

After Empress Wu came on board, she knew that she had offended too many people. In order to avoid being retaliated in the future, she asked Feng Bugui to choose a tomb for her that would never be found.

Feng Bugui was also a great man. He found a mountain next to the Tang Mausoleum. In order to prevent people from finding Emperor Wu's mausoleum, he had people dig out the mountain and set up a "ground vein locking dragon" pattern.

This mausoleum is not ordinary. First, a large stone is used to compare the sun, moon and stars, and a huge stone is driven into the life gate facing the eight trigrams, and then it is dug down all the way to the death gate opposite the life gate, and then a stone tablet is erected to continue digging in the direction of the life gate.

Not only that, while digging, the surrounding tunnels were reinforced with stones taken from the mountains. The innermost part was filled with poplar trees that never withered for thousands of years, and then the underground river was introduced to make it rotate.

This project is so huge that you can imagine how huge it is. After the construction is completed. Except for all the supports of the main tomb, all the others are taken out and backfilled at the same time.

In this way, even if the tomb robbers can determine the direction, they can still find the tomb after digging half of the mountain. Because the tomb is not in the mountain at all.

The tunnel under the stone tablet can only lead to the suspected tomb in the center of the mountain. The real tomb needs to continue down along an inclined tomb passage of the suspected tomb.

So even if ordinary people dig out the whole mountain, they will not think that Emperor Wu’s tomb is actually in the center of the bottom of the whole mountain.

After inspecting his centenary destination, Emperor Wu was very satisfied. In order to keep it secret, all the personnel who completed all this were exiled to the southern barbarian land, just to make his resting place "a hundred years later" proud and peaceful.

Feng Bugui is a man of outstanding talent and meticulous mind. When he found out that Emperor Wu actually took the golden scepter used by the Zhou emperor to worship the heaven as a burial object, he immediately became selfish.

Let alone the importance of this scepter to him, Feng Bugui had already heard about Emperor Wu's "character". Once the mausoleum was completed, he would be the biggest "hidden danger".

So at this time, he became selfish, not to mention the origin of this scepter.

You should know that this scepter is said to be able to suppress "luck". The descendants of the Zhou emperor lost their ancestors' "kingdom" because of this loss. More importantly, the Taoists have always regarded this scepter as a sacred object. How could Feng Bugui, who was preparing to retire to "cultivate immortals", resist it?

So he sneaked into the burial room of Qianling Mausoleum, knocked down the guards, took the scepter and some rare treasures and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Feng Bugui returned to his hometown and quietly used his "savings" accumulated over the years to build the Fengjia Village, which was famous in the future.

For the so-called "immortal road", he gathered his relatives and friends to start promoting his "immortal cultivation way". After many relatives were bewitched, they began to build their own family's "immortal cultivation land", which consumed all the money he had accumulated for many years.

After the construction was completed, Feng Bugui left a map that no one could understand for his descendants, and disappeared in the mountains with the 1,000 hired men.

Until the old man of the Jiang family accidentally got such a map during a "bandit suppression" operation in Xinjun, he gave it to the old man of the Wei family, who was still his confidant at the time.

The old man of the Wei family brought all the good hands of the family, a total of more than 300 people, to Fengjia Village under the gimmick of geological investigation. At this time, Fengjia Village was already deserted.

Because the humidity here is very heavy and there is miasma all year round, many young people don't want to come back after leaving. After the old generation died, this village became a deserted one.

Relying on the map and some detection equipment given by the Jiang family, the old man of the Wei family quickly found a huge "karst cave" formed later.

Although it was a little uncertain, the direction given on the map and the shape of some mountains were similar to this place. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, the old man of the Wei family led more than 100 people down into the karst cave.

After groping in the dark and crossing the karst cave of several hundred meters with weak torches, they came to a waterfall with a huge drop and turbulent water.

Everyone was speechless looking at the waterfall in front of them. They turned around and around and encountered this? However, the sharp-eyed Wei family members soon found something wrong.

"Boss, do you see a stone sculpture over there?"

This voice sounded so "harsh" in the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction the man pointed. Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous sculpture on the far right of the waterfall. Old Master Wei walked up curiously and found that it was a sculpture of a Qilin.

Because it had been affected by the waterfall for a long time, most of the body of the Qilin had been washed away, and only the small part and the half face that looked like a cow could be vaguely judged.
