"It was just speculation before, but now it's confirmative. Jiang Tao, you have indeed mastered some methods of combining vitality and spiritual power, but I think that is just a superficial appearance, a rough peek at the door, and you can't use it arbitrarily. Tang Ning's words make sense, the combination of vitality and spiritual power is the strongest means for monks like us who cultivate both art and martial arts, but that is the future, and we can't do it at this stage. ”

Tang Ning got up and walked over, and picked up Jiang Tao with Zhou Yu. said: "Zhou Yu's words are right. My aunt once said that the combination of vitality and spiritual power is the ultimate means pursued by monks who practice both art and martial arts. But the martial arts realm has to reach the half-step grandmaster of transformation, and the thaumaturgical cultivation must also be at the master realm. I don't know how you used to cast the kind of attack you used before, but it seems that for now, it seems that it is limited to a partial cast so that you don't take the backlash damage from the energy blast. In any case, you are ahead of me and Zhou Yu in this regard, and it is worth congratulating. ”

Jiang Tao's face turned pale, his previous excitement was gone, and he shook his head dejectedly and said, "What's the use of that, the door can't be opened, how can we get in?" ”

"Jin" Tang Ning didn't see Jin Xiaoxiao when he turned around, and when he turned around again, he found that he was lying on the ancient tomb and was afraid of beating, as if he was thinking about something. "Jin Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

Jin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand the things discussed by the three little bosses, and it was useless to be interested, the things in their words were too far away from his world to understand. I simply focused my attention on the ancient tomb. Take advantage of this opportunity] or ponder his old profession, and this is also the role of his coming here, since he came, he can't treat himself as an ornament. It is necessary to show the necessity of showing the storage zài. Only when you play a role at the critical moment can you make a splash. Or I always feel like I'm a burden, a dispensable kind of existence. Jin Xiaoxiao didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't have any ideas in his heart. Shy men also have self-esteem.

Hearing Tang Ning's greeting, he squatted down and held his chin thoughtfully.

Tang Ning and the three of them glanced at each other and walked to Jin Xiaoxiao's side together, no one made a sound, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.

For professional grave robbers, there are few burial chambers in the world that they can't enter.

Jin Xiaoxiao is not only professional, but also from the Jin family, and it is a professional among professionals.

About ten minutes passed. Jin Xiaoxiao stood up, turned his head to look at the three of them and asked, "You have been in here before, can you tell me about the general structure of the tomb?" ”

"It's in, it's in, but it's not too deep." Zhou Yu pointed to the tomb gate more than ten meters away and said, "After that door, there is a large space inside, which is estimated to be the outer layer of the tomb." Then go straight through a dozens of meters long internal Yongdao, Yongdaokou is also a stone gate, behind the stone gate is our destination. Everything is in there, and there's nothing else to do but that. We also don't know the exact structure of the entire tomb. There was no time for detailed exploration, and the tomb collapsed. ”

"Boss Xiao Tang, what about you, what do you remember?"

"It's similar to what Zhou Yu said, we were all together at that time. Oh, by the way, I remember that Brother Yao once mentioned it. This burial chamber has three entrances. In addition to that gate, it is estimated that there are two more portals to enter. ”

"It's weird."

"Strange there?"

Jin Xiaoxiao thought about it, rubbed his chin, squatted down, searched around, found a small stone next to it, held it in his hand, and drew a sketch on the ground, like a plan of some kind of building.

Jin Xiaoxiao drew while thinking, adding a stroke here, wiping that, frowning and thinking, repeatedly revising, and finally he threw away the small stone in his hand and said to the three of them: "You see, this is a popular tomb structure in the upper class society of the Song Dynasty. The tombs of many wealthy families and wealthy businessmen are basically built in this format, and the burial scope of the imperial magnates and royal families is larger than this and more luxurious, but the structure will not deviate from this bottom-up three-arch building model. ”

"And the brick-walled tombs were popular in the Song Dynasty. Look at this burial chamber, there are no green bricks, but whole stones and wooden rafters, which is unconventional. This is the first strange place. ”

The second point is that the Song people regarded death as life, and the tomb and the house where they lived must have the same carvings and items, so the Song tombs are mostly imitation wood buildings, with exquisite patterns and text carvings. In the Song Dynasty, there was a peculiar burial custom in which a husband and wife were buried in a two-chamber tomb, but the two rooms were separated by a partition wall, which the Song Dynasty literati Su Dongpo called 'the same tomb and different burials'. Three little bosses, as you said, there is a young girl buried here, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and must be a virgin without a marriage match, so the tomb after her death should not be separated by a wall and door, and the whole body is a big house. ”

Third, the shape of the Song tomb is like a house structure, with windows, gates, beams and columns, and the patterns on the tomb wall are carved in imitation of wood structure, which is also a major feature of the Song Dynasty tomb. The tombs of the Song Dynasty all sit in the north and face south, there are three kinds of vertical pits, slopes and ladders inclined tomb roads, and the tombs are rectangular with rounded corners, but the scale is not as large as that of the Han and Tang dynasties. The brick tombs are often decorated with carved bricks, and the tomb murals are exquisite and elegant, and most of the expressions are the life scenes of the tomb owner during his lifetime. In addition, the top of the tomb caisson well, located directly above the tomb, is also a typical feature of the Song tomb, which cannot be verified, because the current tomb is collapsed and not in place. ”

"The most important thing is that there should be a group of stone statues in front of the Song Dynasty mausoleum, which is a status symbol. If the girl's identity was not ordinary, there must have been this thing in front of her mausoleum, did you see it at the time? ”

"No, the front of the tomb was bare, just like now, nothing."

"The last thing that puzzles me is that this ancient tomb is contrary to common sense in the choice of the location of the tomb, the Song tomb is different from the previous dynasty, taking the imperial tomb as an example, the Song Dynasty emperor's tomb is very different from other generations in the choice of terrain. The imperial tombs of the past dynasties are either condescending, or facing the river by the mountains, while the Song Tombs are the opposite, it faces the Song Mountain and the back of the Luoshui, and the topography of each tomb is high in the south and low in the north. Because in the Song Dynasty, the 'five-tone surname Li' feng shui technique related to the Han Dynasty Tu Zhai technique was prevalent, and this feng shui technique divided the surname into five tones according to the five elements, and then selected the auspicious direction according to the sound. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, which belonged to the "horn" sound, which was conducive to the direction of non bing, and must be "the southeast dome and the northwest earth". Therefore, the topography of each mausoleum in the Song Dynasty is high in the southeast and low in the northwest. Look at this tomb again, is it as I said? ”

The tomb has not changed its position since it sank to the bottom of the lake. It's almost straight up and down, just moving the position. It is not the southeast dome at all, and the northwest earth hangs, but it indicates that the face of the Ninety-Five Venerable is south and north.

Jin Xiaoxiao said: "I don't know what the identity of the girl in the tomb is, her way of selecting the location of the tomb, if it is placed in the Song Dynasty, it will definitely be dug up." Facing the south and turning back to the north is a taboo, and it is a royal taboo. ”

"But this tomb has proven to be a genuine Song tomb?"

"I know, that's why I think it's strange, a lot of things don't make sense!"

"What if the girl is a princess?"

Jin Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Then she will be even more dead!" After the death of Wu Zetian, the only empress of the Tang Dynasty, only a wordless monument was erected in front of the tomb, and no one dared to comment on her merits and demerits. That's right, she usurped the throne and took away the society of the dynasty surnamed Li, but in the decades she has been in power, except for the remnants of the former dynasty who are loyal to the Li family, who has spoken ill of the emperor all over the world? Is the relationship with the Turks and other surrounding peoples more harmonious than when Li Shimin was emperor? How many battles have you fought? The frontier is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Removing her usurpation process and female status, in good conscience, she is not considered a qualified emperor"

"Wait, I'm talking about the one lying inside, what does it have to do with Wu Zetian?" Zhou Yu raised his own questions.

"Of course it matters, I didn't mean it, if the girl inside is a princess, let's not talk about how to build the tomb after her death, but if she dares to choose such a location, it will be equivalent to pushing the family behind her under the butcher's knife. Facing south and facing north, there is only the emperor, whether alive or dead. Because only the Ninety-Five Venerable has this qualification, this right, the Heavenly Gate faces north and south, which is just the opposite of the symbol of the emperor in the world, because this is the direction where the real dragon is preparing to ascend to the sky. In the feudal society headed by the emperor, what is it that she dares to do not look for death? ”

"Brother Jin, you have a set of principles, but you ignore a fact, that is, the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. Half of the country was lost, and both emperors let the Jin people take it away. Who cares? Besides, if the one in it is really a princess, it must be one of the many princes and princesses who were taken away by the Jin people. Later, she was rescued or what, anyway, she escaped, but unfortunately her life was too short. The construction of the tomb dared to use this kind of rebellious way at the time, even if she couldn't oppose it during her lifetime, it was not the Zhao family of the Song family who wanted to rebel after her death, but the Wanyan family of the Jin family. ”

"Well, you seem to have some truth in that."

"It's not a bit of a truth, but it's definitely like this, and also, you babble about such a big bunch, very professional, and have a very thorough understanding of the history of tombs in my country, I admire it, but does this have anything to do with whether we can go in?"

Jin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't bear to be questioned about his professionalism.

"Of course it matters, or it matters. I'm a professional, and there is no tomb in the world that my Jin family can't enter. But before that, if I don't figure out the problem, won't I go in and look for death? ”

"But we don't know much, so we can't help you, I'm sorry." Tang Ning dragged Zhou Yu and said to Jin Xiaoxiao with a sincere face.

"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a pot that can't be avoided. I'll go in first, and then I'll see if I can get the guy blocking the door out of the room. ”
