"Brother Fang, what do you mean by this is that those eight round mounds were very likely to be pitfalls like villages a long, long time ago, and then they were filled in and buried to form mounds?" Sanger understood, shocked and incredulous. ⊙Top] ⊙ point] ⊙small] ⊙ said, ↗ .. co☆m

"There's at least a nine-in-ain-one chance of that." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Don't you think it's strange, those eight hills are not only very similar in height and size, but also in the same mountain range, there must be some connection between them." ”

"I believe there's a connection, but ......," Sanger was still a little skeptical.

"No, but." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to take the Luoyang shovel and hit a shot to go in and see what the situation is inside." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan showed a somewhat meaningful smile: "Of course, if your ancestor scolds you as an unfilial descendant underground, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." ”

"What?" Sanger froze again.

"That's normal." Fang Yuan reminded: "You have forgotten, the ancestors of this village lived in the mountains, and I heard the old people in the village say that this village has existed for at least one or two thousand years. In this long period of time, the number of burial tombs should also be relatively large. But these days, as we wander around the mountains, how many graves have you found? ”

"It doesn't seem like much......," Sanger wasn't sure, after all, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's not much, it's very rare." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "I paid attention to it and found that the tombs were all concentrated on the hills near the village, and from the inscriptions on some tombs, we can get the answer." ”

"The earliest tombs. It was about two or three hundred years ago. Of all these graves, none came earlier. You don't think so. Isn't that weird? ”

Fang Yuan pinched his fingers and calculated: "The ancient village that has been inherited for more than two thousand years is actually only two or three hundred years old. So what about the previous tombs, where did they go? Even if there are some ancient tombs that have been forgotten by the people of the village due to the passage of time, it is impossible to forget them all, right? ”

"Of course, there is also the possibility that two or three hundred years ago, the form of the village tomb was not the later burial. And what cremation, sky burial and the like. It wasn't until later that the people changed their customs and customs, and there was the current burial. ”

Fang Yuan analyzed: "But when I researched, I found that this is not right. Because judging from the form of Nu dance performances that have been passed down in the village, their ancestors have respected burial for generations, otherwise they would not inherit this complete set of sacrificial rituals......"

"Sacrificial rituals?" Sanger was a little surprised: "The dance that those uncles and uncles danced is a sacrificial ceremony?" ”

"That's right." Fang Yuan confirmed: "When Xiao Meng went back, I asked him to bring back the video of the dance by the way, and then asked his grandfather for advice. His grandfather was a well-known cultural scholar, and he was very sure after studying the dance. This is a set of rituals for sacrifice, which is used to worship ancestors. ”

"Brother Sang, do you remember that on the night of the wild boar banquet, a big brother in the village told us. When he was young, the men, women, and children of the village had to spend the whole day in action. Let's go to those eight altars and pay homage. ”

Fang Yuan Zhizhu said, "That night, I had already begun to doubt. They probably did not worship the mountain gods, but the ancestors of the village two or three hundred years ago. And the eight round mounds. Not only are there eight dirt hills, but also eight grand cemeteries. At the bottom of the hill, the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the village should be buried for thousands of years. ”

"Therefore, as soon as the people in the village catch any prey, they will carry it to the altar and worship it, thanking the ancestors for their protection and grace!"

Fang Yuan suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that today, the people in the village have forgotten the meaning of their worship, but this set of old rules has been passed down from generation to generation, which can be regarded as a kind of luck!" ”

"Is that so?" Sanger's expression froze, he had accepted so much news at once, and he needed to digest it well.

"It's something that's easy to verify." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "If you don't shy away from it, then you can really dig up a round mound to inspect the situation inside." ”

"No need." The old man settled down and said solemnly: "I believe Master Fang ......"

"It's not a question of believing or not believing." Fang Yuan waved his hand and said: "This is speculation after all, even if I am very confident in my speculation, but after all, it is just speculation, and it must be confirmed, so that everyone can rest assured." ”

At Fang Yuan's insistence, the old man also pushed the boat down the river and instructed his subordinates outside to go to Luoyang Shovel to explore the internal situation of several round mounds. But it will take a while for this matter, after all, everyone doesn't have this thing in Luoyang, so you need to buy it separately.

It will definitely take half a day to buy things back.

After instructing people to do this, Sanger walked back again, still a little confused: "Brother Fang, I can understand that you said that Yuanqiu is a big tomb, but why do the people in the village do this?" ”

"Didn't you say it, it's to transform feng shui." Fang Yuan was also a little amazed: "Actually, I also admire the people who arranged this feng shui situation back then, they were not for themselves at all, but for future generations." It took thousands of years and a little bit of accumulation to be able to lay out such a princely land, and such perseverance is comparable to Yugong moving mountains. ”

"So I also think it is very strange what kind of reason the ancestors of the village will persevere and renovate in this way. A transformation, at least more than a thousand years, such a long time, if there is no common belief to unite people's hearts, I am afraid that many people will choose to give up. “

Fang Yuan pondered: "Anyway, after I noticed the feng shui situation here, my first reaction was incredible. You must know that a feng shui renovation project like this is generally a royal family in ancient times, and it will take more than ten years to complete the task with the power of the whole country. ”

"But it's a small village, and even if it had a population of a few hundred or thousands in its heyday, it was just a drop in the bucket. It is unimaginable that such a huge project can be completed with the help of a small village, which is no different from ants shaking a tree. ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed: "But then again, there should always be such a reason, so that the people in the village are willing to suffer and be tired, and move mountains and fill pits day and night, right?" After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and if the people in the village are driven to work in the way of slavery, I am afraid that they can be enslaved for a while at most, and they will definitely not be enslaved for hundreds or thousands of years. ”

“…… Right! Sanger felt it made sense: "So what could be the reason?" ”

For a moment, the room fell silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Daoxin spoke: "Fang Yuan, looking at your appearance, there should be some guess. There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to hide it, just say it happily. ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please also ask Master Fang for advice." ”

"Old man, you must have some guesses, why don't you say it?" Fang Yuan was a little helpless, he also wanted to throw bricks and lead the way, lead the topic to this aspect, and listen to Zhang Daoxin's opinions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Daoxin was really an old man, and he saw through his thoughts at a glance, and in turn defeated him.

"Hehe, it's not a good thing for young people to think too much." Zhang Daoxin smiled and said: "You are not very old, why do you have so many twists and turns." You should be pure, and you can say whatever you want, right? ”

"Yes......" Can Fang Yuan say that it is not right?

"If that's right, tell me what you think." Zhang Daoxin smiled: "Didn't you see that Brother Sang was in a hurry?" ”

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment before he spoke: "That's right, I have a guess. But this speculation may be a little bizarre, I'm afraid everyone won't believe it. ”

"What speculation?" Sanger was curious: "You say it first, believe it or not." ”

"I feel that this village is ...... It's not simple. Fang Yuan muttered: "The identity of the ancestors of the people in the village should not be ordinary civilians, maybe a certain ...... Descendants of the Kingdom! ”

"Descendants of the Kingdom!" Sange's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Which kingdom! ”

"Yoro Country." Anyway, Fang Yuan didn't hide it anymore, and said bluntly: "I feel that the ancestors of this village should be a branch of the Yelang royal family tribe that was destroyed. ”

"At the time of the fall of the Yoro Kingdom, this tribe fled to the mountains, but they never forgot to restore the country. However, the strength of the Han Dynasty was strong at that time, and it was undoubtedly more difficult to restore the Yelang Kingdom than to ascend to the sky. ”

At that time, the leader of the tribe should also understand this truth, so he simply went incognito and waited for the opportunity to move. And the best way to defeat the enemy is undoubtedly to learn from the enemy. As long as the leader is not stupid, he will definitely send people to the Central Plains to inquire about the enemy's situation, and by the way, learn advanced cultural experience so as to take precautions. ”

"When the clansmen come back from learning, the leader knows the strength of the Han Dynasty, and then raises troops to restore the country, I am afraid that most of it will be extinguished. In the case of discouragement, perhaps the leader pinned his hopes for the restoration of the country on feng shui. ”

Fang Yuan speculated irresponsibly: "After all, in the Han Dynasty, the atmosphere of feng shui was very strong, and the funeral place was very important. Especially for the royal family and nobles, it is not uncommon for them to be buried thickly, occupy mountains as mausoleums, and seize lakes as seas. Affected by this atmosphere, it seems that the idea of the leader to fight the feng shui dragon vein is also normal. ”

"Then, by chance, I found a piece of feng shui land with defects near the village, and the vigorous feng shui renovation project naturally began."

Fang Yuan sighed: "This project has been done for hundreds of thousands of years, during which I think most of the villagers should be unaware, maybe they just treat the pit as a tomb, and the accumulation of soil from generation to generation naturally forms a round mound." ”

"But there must be some people who know the secret, who have been fueling the flames and constantly guiding them to be able to carry it on from generation to generation. But it may be due to some accident, what accident happened to the person who knew the secret, and he didn't have time to tell the secret to future generations, which led to the project being abandoned halfway......"
