In short.

The process of the Sima family usurping the Wei Dynasty was by no means smooth sailing. There were several times when they were almost doomed, but due to various reasons and coincidences, they came back at the most critical moment and finally completed the change of dynasty.

There are many unexplainable elements of luck involved.

Of course, this does not mean that the Sima family and Sima Yi are not powerful enough. Wu Liang always believes that luck is also a part of strength. Boss Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao with a small number and a large number in the Battle of Guandu. Isn't there still a lot of luck involved?

Just looking at the current situation.

The luck of the Sima family is very likely to be related to the very rare pattern called "Hidden Dragon" in front of them. It seems that there is God's help in the dark.

But this time.

Because of Wu Liang's arrival, the Sima family's luck seemed to be coming to an end.

"..."

Wu Liang subconsciously glanced at Cao Chun, who was listening attentively, fearing that he would miss any word.

At this moment, Cao Chun heard Yu Ji's words clearly, and if he heard it, it meant that Boss Cao also heard it...

With Boss Cao's temperament, Wu Liang can completely imagine what will happen next.

In history, in order to win over the nobles in Hanoi, Boss Cao had repeatedly warned people of the Sima family to join the court as officials. From the current head of the Sima family, Sima Fang, to the "Sima Bada" including Sima Yi, almost everyone got it

The official position is not low, almost the level of a feudal official per capita.

But this time, after learning about the "Qianlong", Boss Cao will probably take strict precautions against the Sima family. At least he will not give them repeated warnings to become officials in the court, let alone entrust them with important positions.

in addition.

Boss Cao has great ambitions, and people in this era are generally superstitious about fate, so will he become interested in this "hidden dragon"?

If you are really interested.

I'm afraid that not only will the Sima family lose the opportunity to serve as officials in the court and later control the government, they may not even be able to preserve their own ancestral graves.

After all, according to the historical trajectory, as long as Yuan Shao is dealt with, Hedong County will be in Boss Cao's pocket. It certainly doesn't take much effort to do something on his own territory. Even if the Sima family refuses to follow, they will use some means secretly.

It is not difficult for their family to disappear mysteriously.

This way.

Instead of bringing any blessings to the Sima family, this "hidden dragon" will become their life-threatening talisman...

However, this is inconsistent with what Yu Ji said about the "Hidden Dragon" pattern. "Hidden Dragon" was supposed to be a wonderful pattern that made the Sima family take off, but now it is very likely to have the opposite effect. This is naturally a bit contradictory.

But if Wu Liang is added.

It seems that it is not so contradictory. After all, he is a "traveler" who does not belong to this era. For the original destiny and trajectory of the heaven and the world, his "traveler" is an unpredictable one.

Surprisingly, anything he comes into contact with may change.

In this way, he became the real disaster for the Sima family and the accident for this "hidden dragon" that was ready to take off...

"They must have been able to find this treasure cave with the help of experts, and they must have spent a lot of effort. The so-called three years to search for the dragon and ten years to recognize the master, without true talent and practical learning, without experience day after day, year after year

I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to accomplish despite the painstaking exploration.”

Looking at the group of people below who were holding sacrifices, Yu Ji said with a serious face.

"So, the location and construction direction of their ancestral tomb are both excellent choices. Will this 'hidden dragon' take off?"

Wu Liang asked following Yu Ji's words.

"That's right, there's no need for that place to be more suitable."

Yu Ji nodded and said.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Does this 'Hidden Dragon' need to lie dormant for hundreds of years after moving the ancestral tombs into it, or will it be able to take effect soon?"

Wu Liang then asked another question that was of great concern to him.

As far as he knew, the Sima family had a long history, and the earliest recorded figure could be traced back to the Mohist figure named "Sima Kai" during the Warring States Period.

Even if there may be gaps in the inheritance process later, the history of the Sima family moving to Wen County can be traced back to Sima Xing, the king of Yin who was conferred by Liu Gaozu when the Western Han Dynasty was founded. Therefore, if the Sima family's ancestral tombs have not been moved, at least

It should also be hundreds of years old.

From the earliest "Sima Kai", to the "Sima Xian" of the Western Han Dynasty, to today's "Sima Fang", there has never been a person who reached the top position.

This continues until the generation of Sima Yi’s grandsons and Sima Zhao’s sons.

When Sima Yan proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Wei Dynasty, he truly became a person who reached the top position, and finally succeeded Sima Yi and Sima Zhao as the first emperors.

Therefore, Wu Liangzhong doubted that "Qianlong" really needed to "hide" for so long?

"I can be sure that the 'Hidden Dragon' has been dormant for a long time and is ready to go. Therefore, once someone buries their ancestors into the main cave of the 'Hidden Dragon', the 'Hidden Dragon' will already take off.

Then two generations, or at most five generations, will definitely show their talents, how can they continue to lie dormant for hundreds of years?"

While Yu Ji was talking, he looked at the group of people at the bottom of the mountain and said with stern eyes, "If you don't believe me, please just watch. If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps you will have the opportunity to witness the family's rise step by step until they reach the top."

Bit."

"So, their ancestral tomb should have been moved here not long ago!"

Wu Liang already had a definite answer.

In other words, the Sima family should have had some adventures in recent years, or met some extraordinary people. Otherwise, the Sima family has been living in Wen County since the establishment of the Han Dynasty. How could they guard such a geomantic treasure?

It has been indifferent for hundreds of years, and it was only recently that the ancestral graves were moved?

For Wu Liang, this matter is naturally a secret worthy of further investigation.

…

After determining the Feng Shui pattern of this place.

Wu Liang did not tell everyone what he was thinking, and then he took everyone into the "Taiyi Temple" built during the Emperor Wu period on the top of "Taifeng" as if nothing had happened.

This "Taiyi Temple" has obviously only recently received a large-scale renovation.

The bricks and tiles seem to be relatively new, the paint on the walls, doors and clay sculptures also look relatively new. Even the slates on the ground look like new stones that have been laid recently. This is definitely not a building that has been built for hundreds of years.

What "Taiyi Temple" should look like.

In the main hall of "Taiyi Temple", the "Taiyi God" is naturally enshrined.

As far as Wu Liang knows, the "Taiyi God" in the history books should be related to vitality, water, and stars, and may also be the main god of the ancient Chu pantheon.

The clay sculpture of "Taiyi God" in front of us has obviously been completely "Eastern Han Dynasty".

He has the same bun as the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wears Hanfu adapted from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and sits cross-legged with a round fan in his hand. He looks like an old man of the Eastern Han Dynasty who is extremely close to the people. Of course, he must have that kind of social status.

Not a lowly old man.

And under His seat, on one left and one on the right, there was a boy making a gesture of salute.

The two boys are also wearing the same Hanfu, and they look similar to those in the Eastern Han Dynasty...

"this……"

Seeing these details, Wu Liang had reason to think that this "Taiyi Temple" had been abandoned for a long time.

So much so that the clay sculptures and building structures enshrined in it have been extremely severely damaged, so much so that only a building frame may have been left before, but now the so-called repair should be almost the same as reconstruction...

Anyway, all the details are enough to show that most of the things here are definitely not preserved from the period of Emperor Wu.

"Brother Youcai, there is a merit monument here!"

Zhuge Liang shouted to Wu Liang at the right time.

There are such things as "meritorious monuments" even in the later generations of Wu Liang. They are usually found in some temples and projects that benefit the people in various villages and towns. Because these projects often require many villagers to raise funds to build, so in order to commend and encourage the efforts of these villagers

, a "monument of merit" will be erected next to the project to let people know who contributed the effort and the money.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Liang also saw many such "monuments of merit and virtue".

For example, when he was in Chenliu, there was such a stone tablet next to the bridge that Wang Qing supervised the construction of. It was engraved with the amount of money and grain each of several aristocratic families in Chenliu City paid on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month...

…Yunyun content.

There is also Wu Liang's name on that stone tablet.

Because he had also contributed to that bridge, killing the "evil dragon" entrenched in Hanoi with his own hands, and also used the "immortal" who almost killed two children to build stakes for the bridge, making it

The bridge was successfully completed.

Of course, this was actually forcibly added by Wang Qing in order to please Wu Liang. Precisely because it was forcibly added, there were not many places for inscriptions on the stele, so there was no detailed record of his "killing the dragon" process.

It is generally recorded that he "laid the foundation" for the bridge with his own hands.

I've gone a bit far, so let's get back to the point.

"Let me see?"

After hearing this, Wu Liang came to the merit monument and took a closer look and immediately saw the word "Sima".

It turns out that the Sima family also took the lead in repairing this "Taiyi Temple", and spent a lot of money in manpower and material resources, and the time for the repairs to be signed was...

July of the sixth year of Zhongping!

That is AD 189.
