Chapter 84: Li Zhaodi
"Sir, what do you say?" Thinking that Wang Lei was going to ask about the tourist route, the owner of the small restaurant wiped it on his apron, sat on the stool next to Wang Lei, and asked.
"Boss, do you know that there is a Taoist temple on the nearby mountain?" Wang Lei asked.
"Taoism?" The owner of the small restaurant touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Yo, I've been working here for a few years, and I really haven't heard of any famous Taoist temples nearby?" ”
Knowing that the boss may have misunderstood, Wang Lei explained: "Boss, it's not a very famous Taoist temple, it's just that there used to be an old Taoist who lived in seclusion on a nearby mountain and built a simple Taoist temple. ”
"Let me think about it."
The owner of the small restaurant pondered for a while, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "When you say this, I really remember, before, when I was chatting with people, I heard that there was an old Taoist priest nearby, who lived on the mountain in front of him, and it was said that the old Taoist priest had the ability, and he was proficient in observing the sky, knowing geography, and telling fortunes in face-to-face, but then the old Taoist priest had no news, and gradually no one mentioned it." ”
"Boss, do you know where this Taoist temple is?" Wang Lei asked.
"That old Tao, no one has mentioned it for a long time, and it is estimated that it is no longer in the Taoist temple, and you probably can't find it when you go to the Taoist temple." The boss said.
"Boss, you don't have to worry about this, this brother next to me is the apprentice of the old Tao, and he came here according to the instructions of the old Tao, so he wants to find that Taoist temple." The big guy on the side interjected.
"Yo, that's what happened."
The owner of the small restaurant showed a look of surprise, and then pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said, "Do you see the mountain peak in the distance?" I've heard people say before that old way used to live on that peak, you can look around there. ”
"Boss, that Taoist temple shouldn't be inhabited by people now." Wang Lei asked.
"I haven't heard of this yet." The boss shook his head and said.
"Okay, thank you very much." Wang Lei nodded and thanked him, with the confirmation of the owner of the small restaurant, and with the guidance of the Taoist Xuanyun Chief, it was easier for Wang Lei to find the Taoist temple.
"Boss, your snacks are really good, especially this bowl of plum wine, authentic." The big one gave a thumbs up and praised.
"That's my craft of winemaking, but my ancestors have passed it down, and these plum wines are all made by me." The boss patted his stomach and said proudly.
The big one glanced around, and found that there were many people in the small restaurant, basically filling the table, showing a curious look, and asked:
"Boss, I see that you have a lot of guests here, and you have to earn a lot of money a day."
After graduating, the eldest man has not had a suitable job, and it is not a problem to be idle at home all day, and he has also considered opening a restaurant with others, so he wants to ask the boss.
"The small business can't make much money, and there are not many people who travel in this season, but a few days ago, some people came to the county, saying that there are some ancient tombs nearby, and many cultural relics bureaus and archaeologists have come, so the business is not bad these days." The boss explained.
"It's a tomb again, I've heard it for the second time today, boss, do you know what dynasty it is?" The big one asked curiously.
"Those archaeologists came to eat with me, and when they chatted, they mentioned two sentences, saying that it may be the tomb of a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the tomb may not be small, and the burial goods should be very rich, with great historical and archaeological value." The boss said.
"Boss, have you found that tomb? What's in there? As soon as I heard about the funeral goods, my big eyes lit up and I became interested, and said.
"I heard that the specific location of the tomb has not been found, this is just their speculation, I heard that as soon as the news came out, there were many tomb robbers in the vicinity, and they would make holes in the vicinity at night." The boss muttered quietly.
"Leizi, aren't you a feng shui master? Can you find the tomb? The big man squeezed his eyes and asked curiously.
"I'm afraid it's going to be empty, and there's not much chance of a large tomb around here." Wang Lei shook his head and said.
"How do you know?" The big one was surprised.
"In ancient times, people's concepts were relatively backward, believing that the 'soul' was immortal, and death was just a change of living environment, so the preservation of the corpse was very important, forming a unique, traditional tomb culture, up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people, as long as they are capable people, they will do their best to build tombs for themselves, among which the location of the tomb is particularly important, and will ask the feng shui master to choose a feng shui auspicious place, which can not only ensure that the body of the deceased does not decay, but also can bless the descendants and the incense Yongchang, And the feng shui terrain near here does not have a good feng shui auspicious land, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries will not build the cemetery here. Wang Lei explained.
"This little brother is talking about the Tao, I don't know what to call it?" At this moment, sitting not far from Wang Lei, there was an old lady in her sixties who asked with a smile.
"My name is Wang Lei, what do you call my aunt?" Wang Lei asked.
"My name is Li Zhaodi." The old lady said.
"You're here for a tour?" Wang Lei looked at the other party, and didn't know why the old lady took the initiative to talk to him, intending to find out the identity of the other party.
"No, I'm here to work." The old lady laughed.
"Auntie, what do you do?" The big man on the side couldn't help but ask, the old lady was wearing very fashionable clothes, she didn't look like a local, what kind of work could she do here?
"I am one of the archaeologists who are looking for Ming Dynasty tombs this time." The old lady explained.
"You're an archaeologist, don't you look like you?" The big one asked.
"Why doesn't it look like it?" Hearing the big man's words, Li Zhaodi asked with interest.
"I see that your hair is meticulously combed, your clothes are generous and decent, and your skin is quite white, not like a person who does archaeology." The big one questioned.
"The era of the little brother is changing, and now the farmers are beginning to mechanize, you can't always look at our archaeological industry with old eyes, right?" Li Zhaodi smiled, although she was old, she had a kind of elegance in her gestures.
"Aunt Li, my brother doesn't have much knowledge, don't mind." Wang Lei took over the conversation, this old lady is in her sixties, and she can still stay in the archaeological team, so her status must be low. The power class, the generals are mostly sitting in the rear.
"Mr. Wang, I just heard from you that it is unlikely that there is a tomb near here?" Li Zhaodi brought the topic back, and was afraid that Wang Lei would misunderstand himself and eavesdrop, so he explained: "I was sitting next to you, so I accidentally heard it." ”
"In ancient times, the more people with status, the more important they paid to their tombs, some emperors just ascended the throne, began to build tombs on a large scale, so the ancient status of the dignitaries, will ask the feng shui master to find a piece of feng shui treasure land, the nearby feng shui terrain is general, ordinary civilians may be buried here, but the possibility of dignitaries is not large." Wang Lei shook his head and said.
"Mr. Wang, you are so young and you also understand Feng Shui?" Li Zhaodi asked.
"I'm a feng shui master." Wang Lei said.
"No wonder." Li Zhaodi muttered, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wang, which direction do you think is more suitable for building tombs near Bajiao Village?" ”
"Aunt Li, do you believe in Feng Shui?" Wang Lei asked.
"I believe that it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the key is that the ancient dignitaries believed it." Li Zhaodi smiled and said meaningfully.
"Hehe, your point of view is quite novel." Wang Lei said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, you haven't answered my question yet?" Li Zhaodi asked.
"I look at the feng shui terrain, but I have to collect money." Wang Lei replied to the question.
"Little brother, the archaeological work is for the national interest, to prevent the theft of ancient tombs, and to preserve historical relics more completely, you young people in the new era should have a spirit of dedication, isn't it vulgar to talk about money?" Li Zhaodi said with a smile.
