The tomb of Marquis Wu is just the tomb of Zhuge Liang. Where is the real tomb? There is one theory that is most reliable
At the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Mian County, Shaanxi Province, there is a thousand-year-old tomb known as the "Tomb of Marquis Wu". The owner of the tomb is Zhuge Liang, the legendary figure of the Three Kingdoms. It is said that this is only Zhuge Liang's tomb, and his body is not in the tomb at all. If this is the case, where is Zhuge Liang's history buried? For nearly two thousand years, many people have been looking for Zhuge Liang's real tomb, but no one has succeeded, so it has become an eternal mystery.
Friends who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms know that Zhuge Liang’s life was extremely legendary. He farmed in Nanyang until he was 27 years old. He would talk about world affairs with Cui Zhouping and others when nothing happened, and compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. . On the recommendation of Xu Shu and Mr. Shui Jing, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit Zhuge Liang in the thatched cottage three times.
Zhuge Liang believed that Liu Bei, who was only half a century old, was quite sincere and had the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, so he gave up his life of seclusion and came out to assist him in establishing his empire. Liu Bei, who had been wandering for half his life, never had a stable territory and often lived a life of dependence on others. The appearance of Zhuge Liang gave him hope. Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action. With Zhuge Liang's assistance, Liu Bei quickly gained a foothold in Jingzhou.
Later, Liu Bei obtained the land of Sichuan and Shu, and a three-legged situation was formed. After Liu Bei died of illness, Zhuge Liang carried out several Northern Expeditions in order to fulfill his wish to help the Han Dynasty. However, due to various reasons, the Northern Expedition ended in failure. In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. He left his last words and asked his successor Liu Chan to bury him according to his last words. So, where is Zhuge Liang buried? There is a very reliable statement.
It is said that when Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, he could not give himself a hexagram. No matter what, he would not be able to escape this disaster. This was also destiny. So, he made arrangements for the funeral and wrote a letter to Liu Chan. The content of the letter was very simple. It asked him to stay close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and to govern the country well. At the end of the letter, Zhuge Liang wrote: "After I die, find four strong soldiers to carry my coffin and go south. The place where the poles are broken and the ropes are rotten will be my burial place."
Although Liu Chan's ability to govern the country is limited, he has one advantage, that is, he obeys Zhuge Liang's words. Now that the prime minister had spoken, Liu Chan made arrangements according to his last words without any hesitation. In addition, in order to express his respect and memory for the prime minister, Liu Chan personally picked several poles for carrying the coffin and the ropes needed for binding, and then arranged for four mighty soldiers to carry the coffin and set off.
The four of them walked for three days and three nights, and almost all of them were exhausted. At this time, the bar was not broken, and the rope showed no signs of breaking. Not to mention how hard it was. The four of them thought that if they continued like this, they would be exhausted long before the bars broke and the ropes broke. So, after a short discussion, the four people decided to bury the coffin containing Zhuge Liang's body on the spot, and then returned to Chengdu to resume his life.
When Liu Chan saw the four of them coming back, he was quite puzzled. Is the bar and rope he personally selected so unbearable? The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I turned the four of them around and interrogated them personally. Under severe torture, one of them told the truth, which made Liu Chan feel like he had been deceived, and he killed them decisively. Because Liu Chan was so excited, he forgot to ask them where they buried the prime minister. From then on, no one knew where Zhuge Liang was buried.
In fact, all of this was expected by Zhuge Liang. The reason why he did this was to prevent the tomb from being stolen after his death. Because there were wars at that time and tomb robbing was rampant, Cao Cao arranged dozens of fake tombs for himself during his lifetime. As the smartest Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, how could he not think about preventing theft? Therefore, through this approach, no one can find Zhuge Liang's grave.
According to unofficial records, in order to prove that he was more capable than Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, the great god of the Ming Dynasty, used his cheating knowledge of Feng Shui to find Zhuge Liang's grave and secretly dug it up alone. When Liu Bowen first opened the cemetery, he found a tombstone with the words "Only Bowen arrived" engraved on it.
After seeing these five words, Liu Bowen turned pale with fright. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times, and buried the grave again. After returning home, Liu Bowen also hung Zhuge Liang's portrait at home and had to worship him every day before going to bed to express his admiration for him.
