Wang Zhong proved his strength with his actions, whether it was the picky Xiao Huang or the serious Li Lao, they were all impressed by Wang Zhong's ability, and they were full of confidence in their trip!

After all, the most difficult thing about the excavation of a tomb is positioning!

Usually the history of Guò records those places where there were too large burials, and then the local county records were checked to determine the general location.

The real professional tomb robbers are proficient in feng shui surveying and dividing gold and setting acupoints, and determine the direction according to the feng shui pattern of the yin cave and the direction of the dragon veins, because the feng shui level of the large ancient tombs is unique. Then use the Luoyang shovel to drive into the soil, pull it out, see if there is a rammed earth layer, if there is a tomb, but also look at the texture of the rammed earth layer, to determine the dynasty. Then plan the method of opening the tomb. Some ancient tombs are old and the mounds have been eroded by wind and rain, and they will be blinded by this judgment.

Although Li Lao and the others have passed the Guò County Chronicles and other materials to determine the general location of the woman's tomb, they do not have the ability to divide the gold and the acupuncture points in feng shui!

This is the difference between having a heritage and not having it!

There is a strange book in the tomb robbery world through guò secret inheritance, that is, "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", speaking of this book, it is very legendary, it is said that there are two very secret inheritances in the tomb robbery world, touch the gold school captain and the fat hill Zhonglang general!

Touching the gold school is a sect of tomb robbers in ancient China. According to historical records, the Captain of the Touching Gold originated in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei army, in order to make up for the lack of military salaries, set up the rank of Captain Zhonglang of Faqiu, Captain of the Touching Jin, etc., specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and subsidizing the military. The tomb robbery mainly relies on observing feng shui and distinguishing the weather, and takes the Book of Changes as the purpose to locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb.

"In ancient times, there was a special profession, called the captain of the gold school, they relied on the star bucket, as well as the knowledge of feng shui to find the tomb, and used the Luoyang shovel to dig and touch the gold!"

"Throughout the ages, most of the tombs have been patronized by them!"

Wang Zhong said with some emotion.

"Those people are tomb robbers. Sun Dianying of the Republic of China opened Cixi's tomb under the guidance of the captain of the school, and a large amount of gold and silver and art treasures were lost. This incident was a sensation at the time, and Sun Dianying also had the reputation of an aventurine thief. But no one knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes was Captain Touching Jin! It was they who used their knowledge of feng shui to find Cixi's mausoleum and destroyed most of the organs, otherwise how could they have stolen Tanglin with a single Qiu Ba warlord! The most regrettable thing is that Cixi's body was destroyed in one fell swoop, and it is said that when it was first unearthed, it was like a living person!

Li Lao gritted his teeth and said with a look of pity.

"That's not the real mausoleum of Cixi, and Captain Touching Jin also missed this time. All they found was a mound of righteousness!"

Wang Zhong thought of the Cixi he saw in the Zombie Dynasty, whose whole body was as hard as a golden stone, and Wang Zhong said with a wry smile.

At that time, not only Cixi's body was found, but also his phoenix seal, and many funeral goods, which are recognized by the historical community, how could it be a righteous mound!"

Li Lao said in disbelief.

"Because I saw Cixi, and I almost died at his hands!"

Wang Zhong said with a wry smile.

"This!"

"It's incredible!"

If it was before, Li Lao would definitely not believe it, and even thought that Wang Zhong was talking nonsense. But he had seen too much of the impossible with Wang Zhong.

"If that cemetery is fake, where is the real Cixi?"

Wang Zhong's mouth opened and closed, and in the end, no sound came out, he could see it. Li Lao is an archaeological maniac, as long as he sues him, who knows if he will heed the warning not to excavate!

If he digs up the broken dragon stone, it will be Cixi. And zombies are released, who knows if it will turn into a disaster!

So he didn't tell the secret, and the state didn't send anyone to dig it up. That's what I mean!

"Master, what is Captain Touching Gold!"

Xiao Huang didn't know what the two were communicating in a whisper, and asked with a smile.

"In the early days of the Three Kingdoms struggle, Cao Cao's sphere of influence was still small. Sometimes, the city that has been laid down is often replaced by a new owner before it has time to rest. The turf "Towards Qin and Twilight" is nothing new. No one knows how long they will be able to stay on the territory they occupy. As a result, the cities that were laid down were often looted. In such a situation, it is difficult for the army to achieve the purpose of rest and recuperation.

The warlord scuffle prevented Cao Cao's army from resting for a long time, and displaced peasants saw spring planting but could not wait for the autumn harvest. It's like a pot of rice that has just been made, but in the blink of an eye, it has become someone else's meal. As a result, raising military salaries in a short period of time became a prerequisite for the princes to fight everywhere.

In order to solve his own food and salary problem, Cao Cao set his sights on the ancient profession of tomb robbing. As we all know, in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, after the peaceful and prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, the social productive forces were fully utilized, and the economic prosperity made it a common practice at that time. This also provided conditions for Cao Cao to steal graves and dig graves, and steal gold and silver treasures to replenish military salaries. The official positions of "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching Gold Captain" who specialized in tomb robbery came into being in Cao Cao's army.

According to common sense, this is not a glorious business, but the so-called "big line does not care about the details, and the big gifts do not give up." "Cao Mengde, who has the world in mind, as long as the army can eat and win battles, where does he care about infamy on his back.

Lu Xun once said, "Cao Cao set up staff such as 'Touching Jin' to rob tombs." A more accurate record is that Chen Lin, a famous man under Yuan Shao at that time and one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", said in an article issued before Yuan Shao's attack on Cao Cao: "The special Faqiu Zhonglang General and the Captain of the Golden Colonel have passed through the abrupt and unrevealed. This text has become a famous text in ancient and modern times. It is said that Cao Cao, who was suffering from head wind, was shocked into a cold sweat after seeing it, and his head immediately stopped hurting.

According to Chen Lin's article, Cao Cao should have stolen the tombs of King Xiao of Han Liang in Mangdang Mountain, Yongcheng.

Cao Cao's soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period should have been the first tomb robbers to enter the tomb of King Liang of the Han Dynasty. Each tomb in the tomb group of the Han Liang King was sealed with a large number of thousands of kilograms of plug stones, so it was difficult for ordinary tomb robbers to enter the tomb even if they found the exact location of the tomb. In order to obtain the treasures in the tomb, Cao Cao used a huge military force. But even then, it was not easy to enter the burial chamber, and the soldiers had to chisel with a hammer and clean it up little by little. Chen Lin specifically described the scene of Cao Cao personally commanding his soldiers to excavate the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. The text said: "(Cao) Cao commanders and generals, come to excavate in person. Break the coffin and loot the golden treasure. It made the holy pilgrimage weep and the people sad. "Commentary on the Book of Water" said: "Cao led the troops into the Dang, sent Liang Xiaowang Mound, broke the coffin, and collected tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures." ”

It is difficult to imagine what Cao Cao's subordinates saw when they entered the tomb. According to historical records, Cao Cao used the treasures stolen from the tomb to feed his army for three years. The Western Han Dynasty prevailed in the style of thick burials, but those with solid family backgrounds. It is necessary to bring some treasures to another world, not to mention the eight generations and nine kings such as King Liang Xiao, who has 300 miles of rivers and mountains and is rich and rivals?

It is rumored that Chen Lin joined Cao Cao's group after Yuan Shao's defeat. Cao Cao once expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Lin's exposure of his ancestors in this article, but seemed to acquiesce in his criticism of the excavation of the tomb. The so-called "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching Jin Lieutenant" may indeed be true. From this point of view, Cao Cao's tomb robbery is an indisputable fact.

There were many tomb robbers, and Cao Cao realized that thick burials are easy to attract tomb robbers. As a result, Cao Cao became the first ruler in Chinese history to advocate "thin burial". In 218 C.E., he issued a final decree. It is proposed not to bury yourself after death, but to bury yourself on barren land, according to the original height of the ground as a foundation, and the mausoleum is not sealed with soil. No tree planting. Gold, jade, jewelry, bronze and other objects should not be buried with them.

You must know that although Cao Cao was not the emperor at that time, his power and status were no less than that of the emperor. Why did he not only advocate "thin burial", but also the body? Presumably, there are two reasons:

For one, he advocated frugality all his life. Reputedly. He was very strict with his family and officials. His son Cao Zhi's wife was ordered by him to "hang herself" according to the family rules because she was wearing ayaluo. The curtains and screens in the palace should be repaired and reused after they are worn, and they cannot be replaced with new ones.

Second, to prevent tomb robbing. Probably because he had robbed tombs in his early years, and had witnessed many graves that were stolen and the bones were strewn and everything was in disarray, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he repeatedly asked for a "thin burial". This statement is more credible, and his son Cao Pi once analyzed the reason for the theft of the tombs of the princes: "Since the funeral, all the tombs of the Han clan have been excavated, and the golden threads of jade boxes have been burned, and the bones have been burned. Empress Dowager Guo also said: "Since the funeral, all the graves have been excavated, and they are all buried by thick burials. ”

While advocating and practicing "thin burial", he also took the measure of "doubtful graves". Legend has it that on the day he was buried, all the gates of Yecheng were opened, and 72 coffins were lifted out of the gates from four directions, south, east, west, and northwest at the same time. Since then, the mystery of Cao Cao's tomb has been suspended. Which of these 72 doubtful tombs is genuine? For thousands of years, there have been countless tomb robbers, but no one has excavated the real tomb of Cao Cao.

In the face of the sigh that "Cao's tomb is gone", people have a deeper understanding of Cao Cao's treacherous and suspicious. But from another point of view, Cao Cao's life was frugal and took the lead in "thin burial", which is of positive significance. In that era of frequent wars and social turmoil, he was in a high position, and he was forced to deal with the aftermath in a secret way. In doing so, it is also a wise move to protect oneself and make it difficult for tomb robbers to do so. More than a thousand years have passed, and the real tomb of Cao Cao has not yet been found, and it may always be a mystery within a mystery.

After that, some tomb robbers robbed the tomb by touching the feng shui method of touching the gold school captain, all of which were called "touching the gold school captain".

When digging up the tomb, the captain should be good at finding the tomb, and when digging the tomb, he will point a candle in the tomb room, place it in the southeast corner, and then start to touch the gold. If the rooster crows and the candle is extinguished, the belongings must be put back in their place, respectfully kowtow three times, and go back empty-handed. The rooster cries and the lights go out, and the gold is not touched. The burial chamber is only allowed to enter once, and it is not allowed to enter again. If you meet peers, support each other, but the first to choose the Ming (Underworld) apparatus.

The captains worked, each wearing an amulet made from the claws of a pangolin, which was both a talisman and a status symbol. Whenever a large tomb is excavated, a candle must be lit in the underground palace of the tomb and placed in the southeast corner. Then open the coffin and touch the gold, the most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on the body, some tomb owners above the princely level, are all with beads in their mouths, covered with gold and jade, and there is a heart jade on their chests, and they have jade Ruyi in their hands, and even gems are stuffed in their anuses. At this time, do not damage the remains of the deceased, lightly touch from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and finally leave one or two treasures for the deceased, in between, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, you must put back the property in your hand as it is, respectfully kowtow three heads, and return the way it came. The scientific rationale for this is to prevent bad air in the tomb, and to ensure that people are not poisoned by bad air when the candle is extinguished and exited from the tomb. Because legend has it that there are ghosts in some tombs, as for why these ghosts do not enter the reincarnation and have remained in the tombs for thousands of years, it is difficult to say, it is likely that they are reluctant to live for glory and wealth, and after death, they still stare at their treasures every day.

This legendary profession did not disappear with Cao Cao's death, but was passed on, and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty!"

"Although the captain of the gold is a tomb robber, they are not unlearned, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, there is a famous gold basin to wash his hands of the gold captain, known as Zhang Sanlianzi, Zhang Sanye. It is said that the Touching Jin Xiaowei excavated the sixteen-character Heavenly Hexagram from an ancient mound, and combined with the patented product "Searching for the Dragon" of the Golden Captain, he wrote a "Sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique". But this book captures the secret of heaven and earth, fearing that it will damage Yang Shou, so he destroyed the half of the Yin and Yang Technique, and the remaining half of the book was passed on to Sun Guofu, the apprentice of the Touching Jin Captain, and even the biological descendants of the Touching Jin Captain were not taught.

It is this half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" that indicates the completion of the Feng Shui theory of Touching Jin Xiaowei, because this theory is for tomb robbery, so it is more accurate and vicious, otherwise it will not be destroyed by Zhang Sanye!

I have seen the record of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Secret Technique" in the records of my master, but it is only a few words, and there are also some records in the "Jianghu Whipping Method" left by Ancestor Ling!

According to the record in "Jianghu Whip Break", the world's first strange book - Feng Shui fragment "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", was created by the Qing Dynasty touching the gold school captain, which includes the art of Feng Shui Yin and Yang, although the name of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" is called Sixteen Characters, but more precisely, it should be sixteen volumes, each volume is represented by a word in the ancient hexagram of Zhou Tian, a total of 16 characters, so it is called 16 characters.
