The seventh house is the control of the tomb-controlling beast.

This can basically be regarded as the process of animal taming, and it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, the tomb-controlling beast will backfire. Many craftsmen who have not learned skills in ancient times died at the hands of the tomb-controlling beasts they created by themselves.

In this process, we must learn to use "qi". Lao Qin said: "Qi is an extremely subtle substance that runs continuously in the human body. Qi maintains human life, and Qi stops it and dies. Qi is not only in the human body. The rise, decline, gathering and dispersing of Qi is all promoting the changes and development of all things in the universe. The strongest qi in the earth is the Qi of the Jinjing in the dragon's cave."

In the deep underground palace of the imperial tomb, Qin Beiyang followed his father to practice Qi, starting with the Qi sinking into the Dantian. He spent a whole year in the underground confinement, sleeping near Jinjing day and night, and his body was already filled with "earth energy". The qi of a person will not stop moving throughout his life, some will gradually retreat, and some will become more and more diligent, even looking at the mountains. The qi that Qin Beiyang understood also includes human thoughts, although it is close to metaphysics, it is also something that Westerners are studying. If your thoughts are weak, the qi will be weak, and it will also weaken when it comes to others or tomb-controlling beasts; if your thoughts are strong, the qi will be permeated with the long rainbow, and the other party will also be afraid of you.

When controlling the tomb-controlling beast, one is the energy, the other is the sound.

Tomb-controlling beasts also have hearing, but they must be expressed in words that can be understood. The languages ​​that each tomb-controlling beast can accept are different, because the soul of the tomb-controlling beast is related to the tomb owner. Each tomb-controlling owner lives in a different era, and the dialects they speak are also different. For example, the official language of all dynasties in the Qing Dynasty was Beijing, the Ming Dynasty was Nanjing, the Yuan Dynasty was Mongolian, the Song Dynasty was Kaifeng, and the Tang Dynasty was Luoyang, and then went back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The "Guanguan Juju, in the River Island" recorded by Confucius is very different from the Chinese pronunciation today.

Finally, Emperor Guangxu's tomb-controlling beast became obedient. As long as Qin Haiguan stared at his eyes or roared loudly, it would obediently return to its original place and gather its four legs like a livestock.

After the seventh palace, Qin Beiyang would feel strange as long as he approached the tomb-controlling beast, he would feel sick, lose appetite, unable to sleep all night, and even want to vomit.

"Beiyang, you shouldn't have any contact with this tomb-controlling beast." Qin Customs walked out of the underground palace and admitted under the starry sky of the imperial tomb. "Tell you a secret, how long the Qin clan members who made the tomb-controlling beasts lived short. Even if they did not die unexpectedly, they were only forty years old. Those who lived to be over fifty like me were rare according to genealogy records, and no one could live to be sixty years old."

"Is this the price of us stealing spirit stones, leaking secrets, and going deep into the dragon cave gold well?"

"When I die, you must take good care of yourself, but don't slack off on the craftsmanship, and keep the tradition of making tomb-controlling beasts until your descendants."

Qin Beiyang looked at Baocheng in the tomb of Emperor Guangxu and said, "What if there is no emperor in the future?"

"It is absolutely impossible for China to have no emperor! Even if there is no emperor wearing a crown in the Forbidden City, there will be an emperor who does not wear a crown outside the Forbidden City!"

The next day, Emperor Guangxu's Chongling suddenly stopped working. A few months later, the Qin father and son were idle again, but according to the rules of his ancestors, the tomb-controlling beasts were not accepted, and the craftsmen must not leave, so as not to waste all their previous efforts.

If the Qin family loses its successor and then cut off the incense clan succession, the two thousand-year-old emperor system will probably be shaken - this is the secret that Qin Customs told his son, and it can never be told.

Xiling, two hundred miles away from the capital, has not yet felt the strong wind before the storm - the Chinese emperor is really gone.

This is the third year of Xuantong, the 1911 year of Xinhai, and October 10, 1911. Two thousand miles away, clear rivers reveal the trees in Hanyang, and fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island. Under the Yellow Crane Tower, the two turtles and snakes, and the Wuchang First Agencies. In a blink of an eye, the fire of revolution burned all over China, and various provinces declared independence one after another.

On February 12, 1912, Empress Dowager Longyu (her husband was still lying in the coffin of the Xiling Palace waiting for burial) and six-year-old emperor Puyi issued an abdication edict in the Yangxin Hall - less than three years after Qin Beiyang's first night in the Guangxu Mausoleum of Emperor Guangxu, and the prophecy of running into an old eunuch in the underground secret room.

The Republic of China promulgated the "Regulations on Preferential Treatment of the Qing Dynasty", and the fifth paragraph stipulates that "if the project of Emperor Dezong Chongling is completed, if it is completed and repaired, its ceremony will remain the same as the old one, and all practical funds will be spent by the Republic of China."

This Dezong was Emperor Guangxu. Yuan Shikai sent someone to send funds, and the Chongling project was continued.

The eighth house of "Nine Beasts and Beasts": Acceptance - divided into three parts, the first is strength, the second is control, and the third is eating people.

Let’s talk about this first part first. It’s very simple. Use swords, guns, swords and halberds to attack the armored surface of the tomb-suppressing beast. Qin Customs controlled the tomb-suppressing beast well, and there was no damage to the bronze and stone slabs. The tomb supervisor sighed in his heart. If this guy was pulled to the battlefield with the revolutionaries, the Qing Dynasty might not have died, at least it would not have collapsed in such a mess.

Then there was control. Qin Customs turned on the switch of the tomb-controlling beast. The monster's four legs moved, and its momentum was like a tiger going down the mountain. The earth was shaking, which scared the tomb supervisor to the face as dust. When the tomb-controlling beast walked to the supervisor, Qin Customs shouted at it loudly, like a circus trainer, and asked the tomb-controlling beast to retreat obediently. After that, the tomb-controlling beast was like a puppet, following the Qin Customs command, and walked in line with the European training of the new army. It looked like a new army, and it was also cute.

Finally, "eating people". It is said that during the Han and Tang dynasties, the emperors had to throw a dead prisoner in when they were inspected. If they could be killed by the tomb-controlling beasts quickly, it would mean that they had the ability to shock the tomb robbers. Now they used beasts instead of living people. The soldiers pushed the wooden cage, which contained a big white-headed tiger. Everyone retreated and used a horse to isolate the cage and released the tiger. However, as soon as the tiger roared and had not yet approached, the tomb-controlling beast picked out a carved feather arrow. Qin Beiyang heard the vibration of the bowstrings. The pulling force was more than 700 kilograms, reaching the limit of the most brave general in ancient times. The sharp arrow pierced into the tiger's left eye. The poor beast monster screamed and wanted to pounce again. The tomb-controlling beast shot a second arrow, one arrow pierced the heart, and blood splashed five steps.

The tomb supervisor applauded and ordered people to carry the tiger out and reward everyone with tiger meat that night. Of course, the tiger whip must be left for him to make wine, which is said to have a miraculous effect of strengthening aphrodisiacs.

The remaining ninth house: the finishing touch.

In fact, this is the naming launch ceremony of the tomb-suppressing beast, just like the idiom "to add the finishing touch".

With the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Emperor Guangxu's tomb-controlling beast was named "Dayi" - the sharpshooter of Emperor Yao's era, Chang'e's husband, Houyi, who shot nine suns.

As a craftsman, Qin Customs personally finished the finishing touch of "Dayi". The brush was stained with vermilion paint and painted the eyes of the tomb-controlling beast.

Finally, it was to store the power for the tomb-controlling beasts. The Qin father and son took turns to turn the clockwork together, and they kept spinning for seven days and seven nights. This kinetic energy was strengthened by the "heart" spirit stone, coupled with the power of the golden well in the underground palace, which was enough to allow the tomb-controlling beasts to run a hundred miles for more than a thousand years without drying out.

At this point, the task is done.

In November 1913, Emperor Guangxu, who had been parked in the Lianggezhuang Palace in Xiling for four years and eight months, was finally buried in the Chongling Underground Palace. Empress Dowager Longyu, who died in February of that year, was also accused of being buried in the coffin of the emperor and empress. Concubine Zhen was buried in the next palace in the concubine cemetery. The national anthem issued before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, was written by Yan Fu and "Gongjinou" arranged by Fu Tong, played the last time-

Gongjinou,

Chengtian,

People's things are happy with ducks and algae,

Happy comrades,

Fortunately, I was in Qing Dynasty.

Zhenxie,

Empire Sky Guard,

The sky is high,

The sea surging.
