An ancient Feng Shui master discovered a "dragon's lair", and the emperor immediately sent people to destroy it.
Ancient emperors believed in Feng Shui. When building palaces and mausoleums, they would consult Feng Shui masters to select sites. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a Feng Shui master discovered a treasured Feng Shui land and praised it as the "Dragon Cave". However, this place was not the ancestral grave of the Pei family. There is no unventilated wall in the world. When the emperor learned about this, he was shocked and immediately sent people to destroy the Feng Shui of the place.
Qiu Yanhan was born in Wenxi, Shanxi. According to historical records, he was born in the late Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. However, there is no information available about when he died. By the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Qiu Yanhan had grown up and showed extraordinary talent. He regarded Guo Pu, the originator of Feng Shui, as his idol. As long as there were books about Guo Pu's Feng Shui, Qiu Yanhan would study them carefully.
Later, Qiu Yanhan met a strange man by chance and obtained his true biography. From then on, he became a Feng Shui master who knew astronomy, geography, and yin and yang. Qiu Yanhan came from a superior family and was not interested in being an official. He indulged himself in the mountains and rivers all year round and enjoyed divination and Feng Shui for fun, but he did not make a living from it. In the past few decades, Qiu Yanhan traveled to famous mountains and rivers, and returned to his hometown to hear news when he was over 80 years old.
At that time, Wenxi had a prominent family, the Pei family, which had dozens of prime ministers, as well as thousands of generals, queens and consorts. Looking at the world, there were almost no The family is comparable to the Pei family. One day, someone in the Pei family passed away. I heard that Feng Shui master Qiu Yanhan happened to be at home at that time, so I asked him to take care of the burial.
Qiu Yanhan felt that they were all fellow villagers, so he did not refuse and followed the Pei family to the location of their ancestral graves. After carefully observing the Pei family's ancestral grave, the well-informed Qiu Yanhan was immediately stunned and uttered three words in a row: "Jue, Jue, Jue." The people in the Pei family were confused, not knowing who Qiu Yanhan was. What does it mean? Ask him to explain. Qiu Yanhan said: "Ten miles away from the Pei family's ancestral tomb square garden, it is a geomantic treasure. The green dragon is soaring and the white tiger is majestic. It is a dragon's lair that is rare in a hundred years. The emperor will appear in your family in the future."
The Pei family almost They were all scared to tears. It was a great joy to have the ancestral tomb in a geomantic treasure land, but the master Qiu Yanhan actually said that this was a dragon's lair. If this was known to the emperor, the consequences could be imagined. As the saying goes, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. This news spread like wildfire and reached the ears of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. This kept him awake all night, thinking: "Can the country of the Tang Dynasty really fall?" At the hands of the ministers of the Pei family? I will never let this happen."
However, the ministers from the Pei family have always been loyal to the court. If you find any reason to kill them all. If so, not only the civil and military councils of the Manchu Dynasty will oppose it, but the people all over the world will also complain. After several nights of consideration, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came up with a way. In the name of road construction, he sent people to dig a spacious road. This way, a trench was dug from the navel of the dragon vein, destroying the feng shui of the Pei family's ancestral tomb. Since then, the Pei family has gradually declined, and there has never been a high official.
