Chapter 42: Encounter
Just when Su Chen was staying in this old ancestral hall, there was also a group of people walking towards the ancestral hall at this moment, led by the village chief of the village and the old man Lin who came here to find his roots and ask his ancestors.
Compared with the previous people, this time the team has grown a lot, and there are a few more old people chatting in front of Mr. Lin, who are members of the local Lin family.
The ancestral hall of the Lin family is on the side of the former village, and the old man Lin has already worshiped before, but the old man Lin said that he wanted to visit the whole village, and the village chief naturally agreed very enthusiastically.
After all, this old Mr. Lin was very generous, donating 200,000 yuan to the village and 300,000 yuan to the Lin family ancestral hall.
"Sister, what's so beautiful about this village. ”
The team was divided into two parts, Mr. Lin and the local Lin family walked in the front, pointing and chatting all the way, while Chen Jie and Chen Xin sisters walked behind.
"Sister, this old Mr. Lin is here to find his ancestors, what are you doing here?"
Chen Xin was a little curious, at first she had a sister of her who was interested in her classmate, but after observing along the way, she found that her sister was not interested in her classmate at all, which made her a little confused.
"Chen Xin, you don't understand this, we study archaeology not only to study ancient cultural relics, to be honest, cultural relics are dead, archaeological work is mainly through ancient cultural relics, to restore the history of that era, restore the level of economic and cultural development at that time. ”
Chen Xin did not answer, but another young man with glasses, who also studied archaeology at Jingcheng University, but was not an undergraduate student but a graduate student.
The Department of Archaeology is not a very popular department, so many teachers will also select good students among the graduate students for training, and Chen Xin and him are the same supervisor.
"Ancient people attached great importance to tombs, from the emperor to the common people, so many emperors and dignitaries would prepare a lot of funeral goods when they were buried, and through those burial goods, we can infer the economic and cultural level of that era, restore the social productivity at that time, and let us have a more correct understanding of the history of the country. ”
Huo Yuyong explained with a smile, and Lin Huai on the side pursed his lips when he heard this, what he said was so high, he was not a tomb robber, but he was just proven.
However, Chen Xin showed an interested expression on his face, and asked curiously: "Senior Huo, what do you want to learn from archaeology?"
"We have learned a lot, ancient words, ancient history and culture, and of course, Feng Shui. ”
"Learn Feng Shui, but isn't this a superstitious thing?" Chen Xin was a little puzzled.
"Feng Shui is superstitious and good, but the ancients believed in these, so some dignitaries and nobles will choose a place with good feng shui for burial, so if we archaeologists want to find ancient tombs, if we understand Feng Shui, we can reverse whether there are ancient tombs according to the feng shui of a place. ”
Huo Yuyong was very willing to answer the question, and at the same time glanced at Chen Jie secretly, but Chen Jie didn't seem to be interested in their topic, and Miaomu kept looking ahead.
"Our teacher once summed up a sentence for us, Tang Banshan, Song Wanwan, Han Tomb is on the tip of the mountain, and Shang and Zhou are on both sides of the river. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period buried on the top of the mountain, the Qin and Han Dynasty tombs buried in the mountains, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties selected the mountainside, and the corpses of the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties went down the slope. ”
"What do you mean?"
This is based on the tomb customs of various dynasties, and it is also caused by the different cognitions of feng shui in various dynasties, take the sentence Song Wanwan to explain, the people of the Song Dynasty are very particular about feng shui, and they must report water around the mountain, so generally there is water in the front case, and there are mountains in the back case, and this feng shui pattern of surrounding the mountains and water will have the tomb of the Song Dynasty. ”
"To put it bluntly, you archaeologists are no different from tomb robbers, the difference is that you are documented, and they are undocumented. Lin Huai on the side couldn't help but interject, he wanted to hit Huo Yuyong, he didn't want to see the other party selling his knowledge here, and deliberately brushed his presence in front of Sister Chen Jie.
But after saying that, Lin Huai regretted it, Chen Jie is also an archaeologist, and this sentence is equivalent to bringing Chen Jie in.
His eyes secretly glanced at Chen Jie, and found that the expression on the other party's face had not changed, and he was slightly relieved.
When Mr. Lin and his entourage walked through the alley and saw a pond in front of them, as well as the ancestral hall in front of the pond, the old man wearing a straw hat who was walking in front of Mr. Lin suddenly stopped.
Although Lin Ruosheng had been talking and talking with his fellow clansmen, he noticed it as soon as the old man in the straw hat stopped, and at the same time, his eyes followed the old man in the straw hat to look ahead.
After half a ring, Lin Ruosheng pretended to be curious and asked, "Why is there an ancestral hall here, which ancestral hall is this?"
"Mr. Lin, this is the old ancestral hall in our village, when each family has not built its own ancestral hall, everyone worships here every New Year's holiday. The village chief on the side introduced.
"In this way, then let's go over and take a look and worship, this is also the ancestral hall of the ancestors. ”
Lin Ruosheng would say this because he saw the old man in the straw hat nodding towards him without a trace.
At the same time, no one noticed that in the old man's sleeve, his right hand was holding a small disc, which was carved with many scales, somewhat similar to a compass, but much more complicated than an ordinary compass.
Hearing Lin Ruosheng's request, the village chief hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, anyway, he had already accompanied Mr. Lin to see a lot of ancestral halls, and it didn't matter if he saw one more, as for burning incense and worshipping it, it was just a passing thing.
"Hey, why did the ancestral hall open today, Liu Shanxi, what about the people?"
The village chief walked to the door of the ancestral hall and was a little surprised to see the open ancestral hall door, the key to the ancestral hall was in the hands of Liu Shanxi, a bachelor in the village, and he also knew that Liu Shanxi's ancestral hall was used to stock up on weekdays, so the door was almost locked for a long time.
Because the door was open, the group walked in directly under the leadership of the village chief, and at this moment Su Chen happened to be standing with Liu Shanxi, and the two of them were chatting without a word.
There was a person at the door, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the ancestral hall, and when they saw Lin Ruosheng and his party who walked in, it was okay for the three girls to leave, because they didn't know these people in front of them.
However, Su Chen and Liu Shanxi's eyes changed, when Liu Shanxi's gaze fell on the old man in the straw hat who was walking in front, his pupils shrank slightly, and Su Chen's eyes changed because he saw Sister Chen Jie.
Su Chen noticed Sister Chen Jie, Sister Chen Jie also saw Su Chen for the first time, Chen Jie's delicate face was surprised for a moment, but then it returned to a cold expression, but it was Chen Xin, the boss with his mouth open in surprise.
