"There should be a total of eight treasures in this set," said Fang. The four were called the 'Land of Nations'. They were also in the same chest as this treasure chest. The four treasures were in the form of calligraphy and paintings, depicting the rise and fall of China from ancient times to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. "This treasure was created by a capable person in the Yuan Dynasty."
At the time of the reign of Emperor Kublai Kublai of the Yuan Dynasty," he said, sipping his tea, "the country was not yet completely united. The Southern Song regime was still struggling to survive. On the other hand, the borders of the country on all sides had already stabilized. The Southern Song was surrounded by the Yuan army. It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed. The Progenitor did not take it to heart. He sent people around to look for the best men to govern the state. Finally, the Progenitor invited a sage from Lhasa. This man was named Luo Zhuang Jian, and he was proficient in several languages and cultures of Han Mongol Zang Wei. He had all kinds of knowledge and knowledge, and had thousands of ingenious plans for governing the state. The Ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty had him as his Imperial teacher. This man came up with many good ideas for the reunification of the country and the long reign of the Yuan Dynasty. He invented and created this treasure in order to educate generations of Yuan emperors to love the rivers and mountains, diligently love the government and the people, and admonish them on their treachery. He inscribed the size of the Yuan Dynasty's territory, its marginal directions, and the general ups and downs of the previous dynasties in the form of pictures and texts on the treasures. While eating, the successive generations of emperors were able to see the boundaries and the marginal points of their country a few times a day; the emperors were able to unintentionally remember the boundaries and the marginal points of their country; and they were forbidden from paying attention to anything. Thus, the purpose of education for generations of emperors can be achieved. It could be seen that this person had spent a lot of time and effort in governing the Yuan Dynasty. It was enough to show that he was a prodigy of the state.
These treasures had never left Beijing since the three dynasties of Yuan Ming, Qing and Qing dynasties. Empress Dowager Xi pursued luxury so much, yet she couldn't bear to eat a meal with it. Empress Dowager Xi had always worshipped it as a national treasure, a tribute to the palace. For his own benefit, Yuan Shikai had dared to give it to the Japanese as a gift.
When Yuan Shunbei escaped from this treasure, it was said that he had already taken it with him. Before he came out of seclusion, he had sent someone to secretly send it back to Beijing. This treasure had an order: it was not allowed to leave the city. Even as an emperor, Yuan Shun Emperor would not dare to disobey the orders of the late Emperor Kublai. " He then placed the four treasures on the table and pointed to the crowd. "What do you all think the meaning of these words?" Everyone saw that the words "Central Region" were engraved on it. They didn't understand what he meant. "This is the year of Kublai Lie, and also the reason why the treasure is not allowed to leave Beijing," he said. The implication is that Chinese orthodoxy will always prevail.
This treasure had a far-reaching impact on future generations. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was the capital of Nanjing. He had made his fourth prince, Zhu Di, the vassal lord of most of the capital, and had changed his name to Yan Jing. After Zhu Di came to Beijing, he got to know a lot of Mongolian princes. One of them was a bastard brother of the Yuan Shundi, named Cheng Zhe. Some even said that he was Uncle Shun Di's brother. He gave the copy to Zhu Di. He also told Zhu Di in detail about the meaning behind the treasure not leaving most of it. Zhu Di was delighted to hear that Chinese orthodoxy was always in power. At that time, he had already made up his mind to fight for the throne. After Zhu Di had secretly built a palace in Beijing and built it, he went all out to march south and fight for the throne. Although the Yan Army is small, everyone believes that Chinese orthodoxy will always be in Beijing. They fought bravely, one against ten. In less than three years, the Yan King had overthrown the Jianwen emperor in Nanjing and won a national victory. Zhu Di moved to Beijing. He became emperor in Beijing and became a Chinese orthodox. From then on, Beijing became the capital again. "
Hearing this story, Fa Ming smiled and said, "It seems that Yuan Shikai is a complete fool compared to Zhu Di. How could he give away such a symbolic item? He will not be long. " Pu Xian said: "Martial Uncle, we have finished today. You can send the treasure to Yunnan tomorrow. "That means the orthodoxy is not here, and Yuan Shikai's reign will end soon." When the abbot heard this, he smiled and said, "This is only a legend. Yuan Shikai's rule over the country for a long time does not stop at these items. He stole the country to throw himself at the enemy, causing people to lose their prestige and oppose him. "
Everyone chatted and laughed. Farmer flipped over a treasure and looked at it again and again, then said, "Master Fang, logically speaking, there should be pictures and stories inside, but why aren't there any of these three people?" "That one has pictures and stories in it." As the four young Adepts heard this, they stared with wide eyes. The four of them exchanged glances and said, "There are no pictures in the white light. "What do you mean, yes?" The abbot only smiled, keeping his mouth shut. The monks began to argue as they examined the treasures. Some said, "There must be some mystery behind it." Some said, "There is no mystery in the white light. "Reverend, you must be trying to trick us."
However, Rufeng believed the words of the abbot. He scrutinized the treasure and said, "Master Fang, could it be that there is another way to look at the pictures inside the painting that requires attention?" "You guessed right," said the abbot. It's not easy for us to see the pictures here. " Pu Xian said, "How can we see it? We want to see it. " "I would like to see it too," said the abbot. It's just that we don't have the conditions we're looking at tonight. Even if he were to see it, he wouldn't be able to see it completely. Each treasure contained eight different pictures and eight stories. Of the four treasures, there were thirty-two pictures and thirty-two stories. Eight different colors of transparent dew will be needed before we can see those pictures. "
When everyone heard this, they said, "This is too difficult." "The color is easy to find," Pu Xian said. "Pure water from the well can be used by someone else." Everyone said happily: "That's great! I can see one of them. Let's take a look first! " "There are sixty-four stories and sixty-four pictures in the complete set of treasures. You may all see it in the future. I'm so ugly. We can only see one of the pictures in the treasure with clear water tonight. " The fourth young Daoist said, "Let's go buy some colors on the streets tomorrow." Look at one of them first. " The four of them happily went out to get water. The young Daoist said, "You guys go get some water, I'll go with you." He also ran out with his hands on his stomach. It turned out that the little Daoist took the opportunity to go on an excursion as he felt waves of pain in his stomach.
Very quickly, the four young Spiritual Masters returned, overjoyed. He placed a large bucket of water beside the abbot. Pu Xian placed a cup in front of the abbot and asked, "Can you look at the picture now?" Seeing that the little Daoist didn't come back, he asked, "Where did you throw my little Daoist out to?" Seeing that he had not returned, Reverend Fang waited eagerly. Pu Xian said: "Look at what his second master said, as if we don't care about him. The little Taoist wouldn't let us say that he had a stomachache. He had gone out to bed in the next room after the ceremony. He didn't come with us at all. " Pookie added, "We've been fetching water for a while before we went to the well. He should be asleep by now. He couldn't lose his master. Let's quickly continue watching the treasures. " Hearing this, Farmer and Abbot Fuming felt relieved.
The abbot took a sip of tea and said, "I have heard many stories about this treasure set from others, so I understand the profoundness of it all. I also want to see it for myself. " "Let's take a look at the first one," he said. The name of this treasure was precisely derived from this. It was the leader of these treasures. Its production was also the most exquisite. If the cabbage in the painting saw water, it would immediately turn green. It can measure the weather in three days. If it rains heavily in three days, the crickets of this cabbage will climb on top of the cabbage. If there was a strong wind within three days, it would hide on the lee side. If the weather becomes cold within three days, the katydids will hide in the heart of cabbage and lose sight of them. If the day is hot within three days, the krill spreads its wings and hides on the shady side. According to legend, when the Yuan Dynasty emperor travelled, it would often depend on him understanding the weather. Later on, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also decided to stop when he saw it. This cricket is simply alive, it's wonderful. "
After saying that, he excitedly scooped up a cup of water and said, "Listen carefully, the water will be inside, and the crickets will have to chirp a few more times. Let's all listen to its cries of beauty! " Hearing this, the fourth young Daoist Master was so happy that he started dancing with joy. Everyone gathered around to listen. "You can hear them now." Fang Dang said with a smile. With that, he poured the water into the treasure.
As the amount of water increased, the cabbages in the treasure gradually became a green leaved cabbage. It was even clearer and more lifelike. When the treasure was filled with water, it indeed let out the chirping sound of the crickets. It was as beautiful as a summer noon when it was hiding in the jungle. "What a miracle!" he exclaimed, clapping his hands. This scream is so ordinary! " Fa Tong was also elated. "In ancient China, we actually had such a capable person. It's really great to be able to create such a wondrous thing!" Ru Feng laughed. "This is simply a work of god. It's amazing!" If we do not see it with our own eyes, it would be hard for us to believe it. " The four young Spiritual Masters were all dancing with joy.
"The beauty is still far from here. It's still far from over." Pu Xian said: "This treasure is simply filled with endless mysteries, it's really amazing!" Absolutely! " As he spoke, he patted Puji, and the four of them began to clap again.
"It's a pity that tonight, we only have this well water. If we pour more faint yellow water into it, we will be able to see Kublai Lie sitting on the dragon throne, holding a precious decree: 'The international purplish-white plate will never leave the main hall!'" When everyone heard this, they didn't know if it was true or false, but they all lamented the lack of yellow water. "Don't be sorry," said the abbot. Tonight, after we finish telling the story of these four treasures and read the diagrams, it's time for us to rest. Tomorrow we will prepare colored water and continue to observe. Everyone can see what Kublai's orders are. " When the monks heard that, they all said joyfully, "That's great! It's even more fun to view the treasures tomorrow! "
Fang picked up the treasure and poured out the water, saying, "According to legend, our country is bounded by the four seas. He said that from the south to the south, from the north to the North Sea, from the east to the East Sea and from the west to the west. We'll know whether it's real or fake just by looking at the treasure. " Fang Dang then pointed to the word "Li" on the treasure and said, "This word represents the south. The map under this ion is the border map of the southern part of our country at the time of the Yuan Dynasty. " Everyone took a closer look. What they saw was a sea, in the sea were countless ink dots of varying sizes. The distance from the continent to the south was getting smaller and smaller. There are also many sailboats operating at sea. There were a few lines of Mongolian characters on the side. "This painting is of our South China Sea, and these ideas are our Changsha. It can be seen that the southern edge of our country was here during the Yuan Dynasty. Legend has it that Kublai Lie conquered all the countries of the South China Sea and assigned them to the Chinese territory. Kublai thought they were vassals and asked them to pay tribute to the Yuan dynasty. "
