0743 Four Spirits Mountain
Finding the crystal tower, Tang Ding did not rush in, but walked around the hall.
Tang Ding found that the fluorite above the wick of this ever-bright lamp was blackened by oil smoke and lost its fluorescence. And this lantern is at least seven or eight meters away from the top of the hall.
This distance can be blackened, which shows that the burning years of this everlasting lamp are not short.
But even if the burning years are not short, Tang Ding still can't imagine the everlasting lamp that can still burn for more than 2,000 years.
The merman, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is recorded as a human-faced fish body, with hands and feet, that is, we commonly known as mermaids, mermaids, this kind of animal, living in the deep sea, it is not easy to go ashore, but because they live in the deep sea, so the oil on the body is very thick, this kind of oil extracted from the merman body, burning very slowly, so it is said to be used as a raw material for the lantern.
But even if this lantern burns slowly, it still consumes air, so where does the air come from?
In the hall of this tomb, although Tang Ding could not feel the flow of air, he could feel that the air here was no different from the outside world. In fact, this was felt from the first breath of air before Tang Ding jumped out of the water.
After walking around the hall twice, Tang Ding looked intently to see if there were any mechanisms and formations around the crystal coffin, Tang Ding didn't want to be defeated in the final stage, although he really wanted to climb to the top of the crystal coffin to see who the woman lying in the crystal coffin was?
Around the crystal coffin, there should be no mechanism, at least Tang Ding didn't see the mechanism.
Even so, Don Ding was careful until he came into contact with the crystal coffin.
If it weren't for Tang Ding seeing it with his own eyes and touching it with his own hands, he would never have believed that more than 2,000 years ago, there was such a crystal carving process, and the carving was probably not enough, and it still had to be polished.
This crystal tower shape of the crystal coffin, carved beams and paintings carved extremely exquisitely, the details of the treatment is extremely perfect, the appearance is extremely smooth, just like the results of the current machining, not to mention the crystal coffin filled with funerary goods, not to mention the mercury inside, just say that this crystal coffin, is an extremely exquisite work of art.
Of course, such a large crystal coffin can no longer be called a work of art, but a miracle.
The more Tang Ding looked at this crystal coffin, the more he was amazed by its beautiful craftsmanship, so much so that Tang Ding temporarily forgot that he wanted to go to the crystal tower to see who the tomb owner was!
Tang Ding climbed the crystal tower and saw a scene that surprised him immensely.
Although, when Tang Ding didn't see the widow Qing in the crystal coffin, he imagined what she looked like.
Of course, Tang Ding's previous inferences all regarded this place as the tomb of the widow Qing, so he naturally regarded this woman as the widow Qing.
In Tang Ding's imagination, Widow Qing may have only a pile of white bones left, because after all, she has been dead for too long. Or even if there is still flesh and skin on the body, it must be shriveled, because after death, even if it is not decomposed, the moisture of the body will volatilize and become a dry corpse, of course, the human body to become a dry corpse, the conditions are very harsh.
However, when Tang Ding saw the woman in the crystal coffin, Tang Ding was greatly surprised.
This woman did not become a white bone, nor did she become a dry corpse, but a living person. Beneath her was a layer of mercury, like she was lying on a large silver bed.
Of course, it is certainly inaccurate to say that she is alive, because she is dead. No one can survive in mercury.
However, Tang Ding couldn't tell how long she had been dead, looking at the woman in the crystal coffin, many people would mistakenly think that she was asleep, her face was ruddy, her skin was white and red, and she was very watery, yes, very watery.
The appearance is not beautiful, but it is definitely not ugly, and the long eyelashes seem to be blinking.
Looking at her outfit, she is graceful and luxurious, saying that her appearance is not beautiful, that is because she is not young, about forty years old, the clothes are the clothes of the Bashu area, very ancient, although she does not have much jewelry and jade on her body, but no one doubts her strength.
Of course, there are unimaginably many funerary goods in the crystal coffin.
The transparent crystal coffin, a layer of silver mercury, happened to be in contact with her body, just enough to let people see her entire body and face.
Although Tang Ding didn't see the appearance of the body in this woman's clothes, it was basically certain that this woman's body was also as lifelike as her exposed face and neck, and it could be broken by blowing.
Tang Ding saw a jade plaque hanging from her waist.
Tang Ding is very familiar with jadeite, because he started by gambling on stones. He could immediately recognize the jade around her waist as a superb emerald.
Emerald, also known as imperial green, is the best in jadeite.
There is an ancient seal written on this emerald jade card, if Tang Ding is not mistaken, it should be a "Qing".
This woman is really a widow Qing!
After confirming the identity of this woman, Tang Ding was not too excited, because he had guessed this in advance.
Tang Ding looked up, it was the wall of the fluorite cave, as smooth as a knife, of course, Tang Ding was not looking at this, Tang Ding was looking at the qi, to see if the hole of the feng shui treasure cave outside the cave was directly above the crystal coffin.
The results once again confirmed Tang Ding's speculation, directly above this crystal coffin is the center point of the convergence of earth and qi, and this widow Qing is buried in the center of this dragon vein and dragon lair, including the position and direction of her body.
It seems that there must be a feng shui master behind this widow Qing!
Tang Ding's feng shui physiognomy can be said to be passed on from Guiguzi's "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the Benjing", Guiguzi lived in the Warring States Period, and the widow Qing lived in the Warring States Period, Tang Ding has always thought that many of Guiguzi's mastery are his originality, as for Fu Xi's creation of gossip, King Wen of Zhou deduced Zhou Yi, Tang Ding has always thought that this is a theory, and it is a theory that cannot be applied to practice.
However, when he saw it today, Tang Ding knew that the use of feng shui in the Spring and Autumn Period had reached the point of being so wonderful that the feng shui masters at that time could accurately deduce the most beneficial burial ground.
If you really push Feng Shui physiognomy forward to Fuxi, then it can be said that China had this thaumaturgy 7,000 years ago.
Although the date of Fuxi's birth and death is not known, for Tang Ding, who is proficient in ancient Chinese history, he feels that Fuxi should have lived more than 7,000 years ago.
It is hard to imagine that more than 7,000 years ago, in the society of Ru Mao drinking blood, people began to use yin and yang gossip to conquer nature.
However, Fu Xi only deduced the gossip after all, but the Nine Heavens Xuannu summarized Feng Shui into a formation.
Where are you?
Tang Ding's flash thought, suddenly had a kind of enlightenment, the Nine Heavens Xuannu made a feng shui formation into a feng shui diagram, so this Spring and Autumn era widow Qing tomb, what is the feng shui in her tomb based on?
Could it be that this widow who surveyed Feng Shui also learned the feng shui techniques in the Feng Shui diagram of the Nine Heavens Xuannu?
As soon as Tang Ding thought about it, he wanted to immediately open the crystal coffin of this widow Qing to see if he could find a trace of the Feng Shui diagram of the Nine Heavens Xuannu inside.
But this idea, Tang Ding just thought about it, if he didn't study archaeology and didn't learn archaeology with Professor Zuo Qingming, then Tang Ding would not hesitate to open the crystal coffin, but Tang Ding knew that even if he opened the crystal coffin, I am afraid it would be difficult to find the news of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Feng Shui diagram, because no one had ever seen anyone die, and she would leave the things she found for the feng shui master to accompany the burial.
Of course, this is one of them.
The second is that if Tang Ding opens this coffin, the corpse of the widow Qing inside will definitely change its current form, and maybe it will turn into ashes like Qin Mugong.
This is not at all beneficial for the study of ancient embalming.
This idea of Don Ding is the most principled idea of an archaeologist, to protect the monument and not to change its form of existence.
Of course, Tang Ding also hopes that one day this discovery can shock the world, of course, Tang Ding does not need this honor, but Professor Zuo is kind to himself, and Tang Ding knows that he would prefer to see the widow Qing in the crystal coffin with his own eyes.
Third, once the crystal coffin is opened, the mercury in the coffin will volatilize, and if there is no protective measure, if you can't escape in time, the volatile mercury will be fatal.
Of course, there is a fourth reason, that is, Tang Ding's preparation this time is too inadequate, whether it is anti-poison or opening the coffin, he does not have the necessary tools.
Of course, if the crystal coffin could be transported away in its entirety, that would be ideal.
This thought flashed in Tang Ding's mind, and suddenly a question came to mind, a question that he had ignored.
The tomb of this widow Qing, the feng shui is so good, and the coffin of the widow Qing, whether it is facing or the position, is extremely accurate, and with the feng shui of the dragon vein and dragon den outside, the secret technique of the four spirit mountain tricks, the descendants of this widow Qing do not say that they are the king and dominate, and they will dominate the country, but at least they should be prosperous and prosperous, and the family is endless.
But history is not like this, when the widow Qing was alive, she was rich and rich, and she once funded Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall, and also gave countless mercury to Qin Shi Huang, so she showed favor to Qin Shi Huang, but who in history has heard that the descendants of the widow Qing held any official position in the Qin Dynasty?
No.
Tang Ding is familiar with history books, and after this widow cleared the rich and colorful strokes left in Sima Qian's historical records, her descendants disappeared without a trace, as if they had disappeared into the long river of history.
And the country of Ba, where the widow Qing is located, was also destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, of course, this is before the widow Qing, let's say that the widow Qing is so kind to Qin Shi Huang, and her tomb has such good feng shui, why didn't she shelter her descendants?
This is absolutely unconscionable.
Tang Ding looked at the feng shui here, the orientation, and the furnishings again, and wanted to see if there was a formation to restrain the feng shui here?
No, absolutely nothing.
Thinking of the excellent feng shui of the dragon vein and dragon den outside, this situation is definitely not normal, there must be something that you have overlooked.
Tang Ding suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he knew why this was happening?
It turns out that the problem lies in these four spirit mountain recipes.
