Liao was highly praised by Ming because he showed Feng Shui to the Ming Tombs' Chang Ling, and showed the miraculous effect of "calling mountains to meet mountains and stopping water" in front of him.
In the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Queen Xu died of illness. Ming Chengzu planned to move the capital to Beijing, so he temporarily put Queen Xu's coffin in Nanjing Palace, and then quickly sent people to all parts of the country to look for Feng Shui masters. Because Liao Sanchuan, Liao's ancestor, was a descendant of Yang, a famous geomantic master in Tang Dynasty, the court summoned Liao to see a mausoleum with excellent geomantic omen for the royal family.
Liao first saw the geomantic omen of Xiaoling in Nanjing, and then went to Beijing to look for a treasure trove of geomantic omen. He traveled all over the suburbs of Beijing and finally found Huang Tu in Changping. He thinks the geomantic omen here is better than all the places he has seen before. If the imperial tomb is located here, it is "the jade candle is clear and clear, and it will last for three days; The golden symbol is mighty and lasts forever: the country has no boundaries and the state-owned celebration. " Finally, Liao drew a map of this place and invited him to visit this treasure-house in person.
Chengzu has been anxiously waiting for news from Liao. He was very happy when he heard that Liao had found the treasure. He decided to go to Huang Tu with all the geomancers on the eighth day of the auspicious day of the zodiac. If everyone said this place was good, he decided to set the tomb in Huang Tu. On the eighth day of the eighth day, after seeing the mountain, Cheng Zu called together the Feng Shui masters he invited in the middle of the night and told them that he had comprehensively looked at the suggestions of the masters and finally decided to adopt Liao's. At that time, he gave Liao a sword and a silver hoe to get the acupuncture point, and soon he dug a golden well (the acupuncture point for burying the coffin).
Chengzu thought the name of the mountain was too vulgar, so he changed it to Tianshou Mountain, and then handed over the task of building the imperial tomb to Liao.
In the eighth year of Yongle, Cheng Zu remembered the tomb of Tianshou Mountain and asked what had happened. As a result, many ministers angrily stood up and reprimanded Liao, saying that Liao teased the imperial court and deliberately dug a vein, resulting in more than one spring in the site of the imperial tomb.
As soon as Cheng Zu heard this, the problem became serious. He immediately called Liao and asked you to repair the imperial tomb and set acupuncture points. How did you dig up the blood related to the fate of the royal family? Liao Junqing calmly replied, "I must be looking for a real dragon cave, so I can't dig it out." As long as your majesty goes there himself, the spring will stop. " When Cheng Zu saw that Liao didn't look like a braggart, he felt that Liao's statement was amazing. He can stop at once when he goes there. Really?
With great doubt and curiosity, he decided to give it a try himself. If he didn't succeed, he would punish Liao. On that day, Cheng Zu finally came to the construction site of Tianshoushan Imperial Tomb with civil and military officials. Chengzu stopped by the spring, and the spring still gushed out. Chengzu's face changed greatly, and he was immediately dismissed as how dare Liao tease him! Who knows that Liao said without fear: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm not drunk yet. As long as I shout a few times and take a photo with the compass, the spring will stop. "
Cheng Zu said, "I'll give you one last chance!" " "Liao shouted to the mountain:" The mountain clan is located in twenty-four directions, the earth, the dragon ancestors, the stars, the earth, and the twenty-eight nights, while the founders Yang helped the poor, Zeng Wenshan and Liao. Now Liao has established the foundation of the monarch for Yongle for thousands of years, and the imperial tomb and Wan Li mountains and rivers are all owned by the monarch. Now the emperor has come to inspect and wants to stop the spring water at once. If he doesn't obey, it's a big mistake.
It's strange that Liao's voice has just stopped and spring has stopped. Cheng Zu saw this, which is a great pleasure. Liao told me that there was a stone basin and a pair of stone carp three feet below Yongquan, which could be dug up. Chengzu was very surprised, so he sent someone to dig, and sure enough, he dug up what Liao said. Cheng Zu was surprised by Liao's geomantic omen, praised Liao, named Liao as a doctor with five qualities of Qin, and assigned Liao the task of selecting the site of Dahuang City Site site in the Forbidden City.
After the completion of Changling, Cheng Zu intended to give Liao a large reward, but Liao refused to accept it, so he gave him a paper fan. Since then, Cheng Zu has supported four champions in Jun Qing, Liaoning.
