Chapter 60 Chapter 1 Guanyin Tomb

Holding a black umbrella, I was walking alone in the muddy mountains, my shoes were already wet, and every step I took made a rattling sound.The rain curtain blocked the vision, as if the whole blue mountain field had been splashed with white milk, and I would get lost anytime as I walked deeper and deeper in the blue-white rain and fog.But I still found the place I was looking for. I stopped in front of a deserted tomb. There are many other tombs at the foot of the mountain. Except for the Ching Ming Festival, no one will come to worship here. I wiped the rain from my face, and my blurred vision became clear again, and the tombstone in front of me immediately came into view: the tomb of Mu Qingxiang.The rain was getting heavier and there was no intention of stopping at all. I stood in front of the tomb with a blank mind, pushed the weeds on the tomb, and finally cleaned the tomb.Looking at the tombstone, my thoughts were pulled back to a month ago, and everything that happened in that month came to my mind like a movie.

a month ago. After coming out of Mingling, I have been restless, because shopkeeper Wu died at my hands, as long as the conscience is still alive, I will always feel afraid.Zhao Shuai didn't care at all, he didn't even bother to think about it, seeing that I was depressed, he even said that I looked like Lin Daiyu.If you really feel guilty, you might as well turn yourself in, and you'd better sentence me to shoot immediately.Shopkeeper Wu also has no relatives. It is estimated that the crime is too deep. It is really on the typewriter. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Wu is alone. He is so missing. There are not many people looking for him, but one day someone will find him missing, so I still Can't let go of this.

Mu Qingxiang stayed with us for one night in Yixing, and that night Zhao Shuai was focused on exploring possible business opportunities, so he left Mu Qingxiang and me alone.I went to Mu Qingxiang's room, and she was reading carefully what I found from the bones. She had never read that novel. Since Jiang Hongyu really circled a few titles in that book, it must be because she was full and had nothing to do. , maybe some clues are hidden in that novel. After Mu Qingxiang opened the door and let me in, she closed the book and said, "I haven't finished reading it yet, so I don't know why Jiang Hongyu circled those titles. You came to me to ask about your father, right?"

I stood awkwardly, trying to find a place to sit down, but for some reason, my heart was so nervous that I didn't even move after standing for a long time.Mu Qingxiang ignored me at all, opened the door and sat back at the desk without looking at me.I sighed, stepped into the room, and closed the door.After thinking about it, it was the first time for me to run into a woman's room in the middle of the night. When I was in the basement in Beijing, it was Li Xiuzhu who came to my room on my own initiative. Mu Qingxiang saw that I didn't make a sound, she didn't bother to ask me why I was nervous, but told the whole thing about my father in a flat tone.According to Mu Qingxiang's statement, the reason why his father returned from Malaysia, squandered his property, and indulged in sex and sex was actually because he wanted to return to China quietly to find the ancient city of Yuequan.Back then, after the grandfather died, the family property was divided equally between the father and the uncle, but the uncle always denied that he had found the ancient city of Yuequan, even from his grandfather.

My father tried to negotiate with his uncle but failed, and then he pretended to be depraved and lost all his family wealth.In fact, my father just transferred his property back to his country. Otherwise, how could a person who was so poor that he couldn’t afford underwear easily immigrate back to his country? No country welcomes the poor.Father did this just to hide from his uncle and some unknown people, because he felt that his uncle didn't want others to go to Yuequan ancient city again. Regarding this point, I have a little impression. Not long after my grandfather died, my father had a quarrel with my uncle. I remember that my father seemed to want to go back to China to do something, but my uncle strongly opposed it.It is true that my father could only act in order to hide the truth from my uncle, because my uncle is a domineering man, and he will never allow others to change what he believes.It is very likely that there were other obstacles, so my father made such a bad move. No wonder he still had contact with Zhou Chalao and others after returning to China. It turned out that he was still an authentic tea man.

After his father returned to China, he continued to act, because his uncle's business was very big, and he also had his eyeliner in the mainland.After his father settled down in Wuhan, he secretly had contacts with other tea masters, and Zhou tea man was one of them.While pretending to continue to degenerate, his father secretly searched for clues to the ancient city of Yuequan.Unfortunately, there were no results for so many years. It was not until Mu Qingxiang appeared that my father rekindled hope, but at that time the family property was really spent by his father.Because I haven't done business for several years, I just eat the old man like this. Unless it is Bill Gates, I will even lose the coffin.

Hearing this, I thought of my uncle's family, and felt a little resentful in my heart. Since I have clues to the ancient city of Yuequan, I should tell my father, can I get rich by hiding it? It's a family, it's too selfish to do so.When Mu Qingxiang heard my complaint, she felt that her uncle's actions were understandable, and her words were very indifferent. I secretly felt uncomfortable, so I asked: "Why are they looking for the ancient city of Yuequan, and the Valley of the King of Tea? This seems to have exceeded the desire for knowledge, right? Is there a treasure?"

"Do you think your grandfather and your uncle will be short of money?" Mu Qingxiang asked back. I disagreed and said: "That's not necessarily true. I dare not say that my grandfather and the others are successful, but successful businessmen are never satisfied. They wish they could have all the money in the world." Mu Qingxiang stood up, walked to the window, she looked out of the window and said: "It is said that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, those prominent people had already started to transfer money. Do you think they are willing to leave things in the palace and let the big powers snatch them at will?"

I looked at Mu Qingxiang's back suspiciously, and asked, "What does this have to do with my father?" Next, Mu Qingxiang finally told me why everyone wanted to find Yuequan Ancient City.You know, the Qing Dynasty's preference for drinking tea was better than that of the previous dynasties, and it squeezed a lot of tea leaves and treasures from the hands of tea masters.Not only Pu'er tea, which was the favorite of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, but also all the famous teas in the world, as well as tea sets and unique secrets related to tea making, were all occupied by them.In addition to collecting gold and silver, Yangchishan, the last tea king, was also recruited by Cixi to transport the precious tea leaves, tea sets, and classics in the Forbidden City to a safe place. back.

It's a pity that the tea king Yang Chishan disappeared when he was about to return after collecting those treasures.Among those who transported them, Yang Chishan did not survive, so he was the only one who knew where those things were hidden.This matter was revealed by a court lady next to Cixi. That court lady was more conscientious. She couldn't bear the loss of national treasures. When the big powers invaded Beijing, she took the three night pearls from the palace and ran away. This incident is not typical, because the number of national treasures lost from the Forbidden City at that time is countless, because there are too many things and too many things, so few people care about the disappearance of the tea king.What they are looking for right now are things that are living among the people. Only ghosts are interested in finding the missing Tea King. After all, compared to the difficulty of these things, the matter of the Tea King is too difficult to do.

According to the palace maid, Yangchishan, the tea king, assured Cixi that the batch of things would be kept safe and put in an ancient city that is difficult to find, which is the birthplace of the tea king.With the ability of the tea king, it is not difficult for him to preserve the precious tea leaves for a hundred years, so after such a long time, not only the tea leaves have not spoiled, but the more fragrant they are, it has become a rare treasure.As for where the ancient city is and what kind of ancient city it is, the maids don't know much about it, and this is just a story circulated among a few old tea people.But my grandfather was different. After he got in touch with the tea master, he combined all the clues and believed that what he saw in the forest of Fohai that day must be Yangchi Mountain, so he firmly believed in this legend. In the end, what made this legend come true was the discovery of a Guanyin tomb.First of all, among the 6,843 cultural relics and historic sites preserved in the first general survey of cultural relics in Beijing in 1966, 4,922 were destroyed, most of which were destroyed between August and September 1966.In the name of breaking the "four olds", the Red Guards burned ancient calligraphy and paintings, smashed ancient porcelain, and melted ancient bronze wares. By accident, someone found a deserted tomb in the outskirts of Beijing. There were more than a dozen white jade Guanyin statues in it, and there was even a golden statue of Guanyin hidden in the coffin.At the beginning, some people superstitiously said that it was the tomb of Guanyin Empress when she became a mortal. Later, after checking, it was found that a collector secretly hid his treasures in the tomb, because he was reluctant to destroy the treasures. Lose.However, in that Guanyin tomb, someone found a teacup, and on the cup of that teacup, the appearance of the ancient city of Yuequan was depicted. The teacups were not confiscated because the teacups were inconspicuous and the statues of Avalokitesvara were too bright.The collector disappeared because of his private possession of antiques. It is not known whether he was criticized and killed, or where he was imprisoned.The mysterious teacup flowed from Hong Kong to the hands of Nanyang merchants after several twists and turns.After their identification, the teacup is a thing of the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty teacup was mentioned as early as in the book. If the teacup is from the Jin Dynasty, then the ancient city of Yuequan was at least handed down from the Jin Dynasty, hundreds of years earlier than the Tang Dynasty.It is said that this teacup was collected by the grandfather. When they found the Danchi in Mingling, they must have found the model of the ancient city. Naturally, they believed in the legend of the ancient city of Yuequan and the tea hidden in Yangchi Mountain.If those tea leaves were found, their value would be incalculable, and people's hearts would be greedy. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel that my grandfather was not so kind, and he actually sacrificed his life for worldly things. But how can those tea leaves be said to be worldly things? They are all made by tea people, and even took the painstaking efforts of several generations.If they just disappear in the dust of history, the tea people who made them will definitely not be reconciled.The perverted pursuit of grandfather can also be felt from another perspective.Either you don't let me know, if you let me know, you must find it, but the sky fails, and the grandfather never found it until he died, and even the father had the same fate. Mu Qingxiang helped us so much in Menghai, and she kept reminding me that there would be disasters in Manlong Village. I dare say she didn't do it for no reason, because she knew me and my father.Mu Qingxiang was still looking out the window, I asked her why she was looking for me, and tested whether I was up to the task of finding the ancient city.Mu Qingxiang told me that among the two groups organized by my grandfather when he returned to China in 1971, one group went to Mingling and the other went to Yuequan Ancient City.However, my father went to Mingling, but when I was 1 year old, I went to the ancient city with my grandfather and uncle. The group of people who went to find the ancient city of Yuequan didn't know where they went or what happened. In short, it seemed that only my uncle found the whereabouts of the ancient city, and even my grandfather didn't see it.Since I have been connected to the ancient city, maybe after a few years, I will have a chance to meet again, so Mu Qingxiang thought of looking for it with me.I thought about it, my uncle's business became so big later, even bigger than his grandfather's, maybe he really stole something from the ancient city of Yuequan.Uncle was greedy and selfish, so of course he refused to tell others that he had found the ancient city, and he definitely wanted to keep it all to himself. After hearing these stories, I couldn't help sighing. I was so persistent that I didn't want my life. It was no different from asking for money. The temper of a businessman is really scary.But few people know about these things, and even if someone knows, then this person must be too old to walk.Mu Qingxiang is so young, and she couldn't get her turn in the queue, so I was kept in the dark.Exactly as I thought, I asked Mu Qingxiang why she knew these things, and whether her grandma told her, but she still answered no reason, because she already knew. I walked a few steps, came to the window, and asked Mu Qingxiang: "Then you also want to find those things?" Mu Qingxiang turned her head to look at me, and said simply: "No." "What is that? Is there anything more precious than those things?" I was curious. Mu Qingxiang was silent at first, and then said: "You will know when you find it, it's too early to talk about it now." This night, I asked all my questions, took a breath, and threw out the last question: "Then what did I show my dad, so he went to the ancient city with you again, I think He was about to give up at that time, right? After all, after so many years, not only did he not find it, but he really exhausted his family property." Mu Qingxiang turned her head and stopped looking out of the window. Without saying a word, she took out something from her pocket and handed it to me.I took it curiously, and with the help of the fluorescent lamp in the room, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and stammered, "Where did you get this thing?"
