Chapter 232: Professor Li's Worries

"Officer Iron, this kid has found some clues, maybe it will be useful to you, you might as well listen to them together. Li Mingguang pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said.

"Oh, is it about the loss of cultural relics?" Tie Zhongtang immediately became interested.

"You'll know when you hear it. Li Mingguang nodded, and then motioned to Zhang Tianyuan to play the previous audio again.

As the audio played, Tie Zhongtang's brows frowned, and sometimes he loosened, which showed that his inner struggle was also very fierce at this time.

After listening, Tie Zhongtang said: "This little brother's name is Zhang Tianyuan, the first time I saw you, I found that you were not simple, and the handling of the villagers and the archaeological team was also in good order, and it was indeed worthy of being a person who even Professor Li praised." ”

"Officer Tie don't praise me, how should I do this, can I help in any way? Although Liu Haiyang is cowardly and idle, he has not done any great evil after all, his parents were killed by wolves and dogs, which is miserable enough, and I don't want him to die because of this. Zhang Tianyuan didn't like to twist and turn, so he asked directly.

Tie Zhongtang glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, we are here to solve the case, not to harm people, the wolf dog gang not only smuggles cultural relics, but also involves human lives, which must be dealt with strictly." ”

"Then without further ado, let's do it as soon as possible, the wolf dog and his gang are now living in Liu Haiyang's house, and it is said that the stolen goods are also hidden there, you can do it now, you can catch it all, it is the best time." Li Mingguang said.

Tie Zhongtang nodded and said, "That's true, but at this time, my team is here alone, and I have to mobilize manpower." Don't forget, Professor Li, they have guns. The slightest carelessness can lead to the death or injury of innocent people. We cannot afford that. ”

"Then hurry up and call us, it's only an hour's journey from Xifeng here, it should be no problem, right?" asked Li Mingguang.

"Well, Professor Li, don't worry, I will immediately contact the bureau to send someone over and deal with this matter quickly. Tie Zhongtang nodded and took out a mobile phone, this is not the mobile phone he usually uses, this mobile phone is only used to practice his subordinates. Of course, this time it is necessary to rely on the strength of the armed police, so it is also necessary to mobilize the armed police from Xifeng to assist.

In this country, the safety of the common people is always put first, even if it is just a gangster with guns, it is possible for thousands of armed police to encircle and suppress it.

"This matter has to be done as much as possible, I see Liu Haiyang's audio, this gang seems to be going to do something to the tomb, that Hua Rong is a typical northern tomb robber. And the wolf dog is even more bullshit, if they rob the tomb, I am afraid that they will destroy the mausoleum underneath, and then the loss will be too great. Do you understand?" Li Mingguang said again.

"Professor Li rest assured, Xifeng's side has organized manpower, and he can set off tonight. And when they arrived, the gang couldn't escape. Tie Zhongtang comforted.

Zhang Tianyuan asked with some curiosity, "Professor Li." I've heard of this northern tomb robbery and the southern tomb robbery before, but what's the difference between the two?"

"Overall. The tomb robbers of the southern faction pay attention to looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and they basically do not use Luo Yang shovels, because the tombs in the south mostly use hard blue bricks as construction materials, and the focus and difficulty of the southern tomb robbers is how to find the brick chamber tombs hidden deep underground. ”

"Looking, smelling, asking, cutting, how does it sound like a diagnostic condition in traditional Chinese medicine?" Zhang Tianyuan asked in amazement.

"Well, it sounds like it, but it's actually different. Hope here refers to looking at Feng Shui. Li Mingguang explained.

"Feng Shui, this kind of feudal superstition, Professor Li, do you believe in it too?" Tie Zhongtang interjected.

"You say that feudal superstition is right, but the problem is that no matter whether the tombs in the south or the north are buried in accordance with feng shui in the past, this is called the wrong is wrong, for example, someone has set the wrong password, then you can't open the lock with the correct password, if you want to open, you can only use the wrong password, feng shui is the same, you don't care if he is feudal superstition, anyway, his role in archaeology is great. Li Mingguang explained.

Tie Zhongtang was not interested in these, obviously Li Mingguang's words could not convince him, he smiled and said: "You guys talk here first, I'll go and monitor the situation of Liu Haiyang's house, lest those rats escape." ”

And when he had said that, he went out.

When he left, Li Mingguang and Zhang Tianyuan chatted more happily.

"I just said, the location of ancient tombs is determined by feng shui, the general so-called feng shui treasure land, shade of the place of descendants, such as the place by the mountain and the water, must also be the place where the tomb gathers, and according to feng shui, you can also judge the size of the cemetery, you think this is superstition is not wrong, but no matter what, its role in archaeology is very large.

Of course, the word 'hope' does not all refer to looking at feng shui, you can also observe the surrounding environment, didn't we investigate and collect evidence before, the grass and trees and even the soil around the tomb can also convey important information for the tomb robbers of the southern faction. In fact, it is not only the southern tomb robbers, but now in archaeology, the word 'hope' is often used, and even some northern tomb robbers have begun to learn to observe, because this is really important.

Experienced tomb robbers, who are often good at feng shui, must first check the terrain to see where the ancient tombs that have been sealed and destroyed are located in each place.

According to the explanation of the Tufuzi, as long as it is a real feng shui treasure, there will generally be a large tomb with high specifications, and the burial treasures are many and fine, and many of them are important weapons of the country. Let's not talk about the tombs in the south, let's just say that the Qin Tomb, the Qianling Tomb, and the Dingling Tomb are all very good in feng shui, I think Tianyuan you, learn feng shui in the future, you won't be wrong, just don't be obsessed.

People who understand feng shui use their own skills to judge whether there will be tombs nearby, which is almost a guess, even more accurate than many modern instruments. ”

"It's so powerful!" Zhang Tianyuan had never heard of such a thing before, and in archaeological books, there would never be such a superstitious thing as feng shui. So now it sounds, naturally, very fresh.

"This 'smells'. Actually, it's just smelling, but this kind of ability. Ordinary people can't learn it, but they have to rob tombs for many years, and only people who are very sensitive to the smell of tombs such as soil can use it. ”

"By the way, when you were exploring the cave during the day, Professor Li, you smelled the soil, do you have the ability to do this?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"Haha, I can't do it yet, it's far from it, I'm just more sensitive to the smell of white plaster mud and five-flower soil. But the person who really has that mysterious nose can even distinguish the presence or absence of the tomb according to the different smells. Li Mingguang said with a smile.

"Can you practice this skill?"

"Of course, this is what you practice, do you think anyone will rob a tomb as soon as they are born?"

"Tomb robbers with this thaumaturgy specialize in the olfactory function of the nose. When stepping on the spot, if the location of the tomb is found, turn over the top soil layer of the tomb, take a pinch of tomb soil and put it under the nose to smell violently, and distinguish whether the tomb has been stolen from the smell of soil. And judge the approximate age based on color. ”

"What exactly is the accuracy of that way?" asked Zhang Tianyao curiously.

"It is said that the best kung fu can use your nose to distinguish the subtle smell difference between the tomb soil of the Han Dynasty and the tomb soil of the Tang Dynasty, and the accuracy of the Cheng dΓΉ is amazing, are you convinced?"

"Yes, yes. These people are too good, no wonder there are many tombs in history that even the official family can't steal, and these tomb robbers actually have a way. Zhang Tianyuan sighed with emotion.

"As for asking and cutting. This is more commonly used in archaeology today, and asking is investigative inquiry. And the cut is more complicated, so I won't go into details. In the final analysis, the cut actually relies on feeling, which is the same as cutting the pulse with the hand in traditional Chinese medicine, and experienced tomb robbers of the southern school, even putting their hands on the ground, and then knocking on the ground, can estimate whether there is anything in the tomb, as well as the location of the tomb and the tomb road, creating good conditions for the robbery hole. Li Mingguang said again.

"It's really amazing, if we have these four things, archaeology will be much easier in the future. ”

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a tomb robber named Qian Fuzi from the southern faction, and he was proficient in this kind of thing. When he was on a tour, he asked and learned that there had been an emperor's tomb here, and then he checked to confirm that the local feng shui was excellent, and if it was an emperor, he would be willing to be buried there. Then he went to the soil to smell the nearby soil and cut the guΓ² to determine the location of the tomb, and after seven days, he dug a hole and went into the ground. ”

"And then?"

Later, I really let this Qian master guess correctly. Sure enough, a brick chamber tomb was excavated. The tomb wall is painted with the life of the deceased, and there are hundreds of swords, treasures, jade, lacquerware, gold cakes, inkstones, bamboo tubes and other objects in the tomb. Mr. Qian transported these things in a horse-drawn cart overnight, and then sold them to a wealthy man at the time through an acquaintance, making a lot of money. ”

"Hateful!" Zhang Tianyuan originally admired this Qian master, but when he heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"So, this kind of ability, in the hands of archaeologists, that's a good thing, but in the hands of those tomb robbers, it's a disaster, you have to remember that. ”

"By the way, Professor Li, you just said that Hua Rong is a tomb robber of the Northern Sect, and I am afraid that he will destroy the tomb, what is the difference between this Northern Sect?"

"Whether it is looking for tombs or excavating tombs, the northern tomb robbery does not have much technical content, but simply relies on the sharp tools, so we call the northern tomb robbery 'extensive type', you probably understand the meaning of rough, to put it mildly, it is barbaric. Li Mingguang sighed and said: "When archaeologists excavate tombs, they can often find chisels, pickaxes, shovels, sickles, etc. in the tombs that have been stolen before, which are all handy tools for tomb robbers from the northern faction to steal tombs and dig tombs. The robbery hole of the northern tomb is generally opened in the middle of the tomb roof, and the diameter of the tomb robbery hole is about 0.4 to 0.7 meters, so sharp tools are indispensable for the northern tomb robbers. ”

"Luo Yang Shovel is a symbol of the Northern Sect's tomb robbers, right?"

"Sort of, Luo Yang shovel is the most commonly used tool for the northern tomb robbers, but in addition to these, the northern tomb robbers may even use explosives in order to excavate the tomb, so the damage to the tomb is very strict, this is why I will let the iron police officer do his best to arrest the wolf dog and others, if it is a little later, they are likely to destroy the tomb, then the loss will be great, this Dingling is a rare wealth for you here, if it becomes a tourist area in the future, it can also feed the people nearby, even if it is not as good as the Qinling Terracotta Army, it is always beneficial to the people, and the cultural relics in the tomb itself are a great wealth for the study of history, and they cannot be destroyed. Li Mingguang said with emotion. (To be continued......)
