Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 009 Yin Yang Compass

Ding Sicheng's words made Bai Yang a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do? You can't just leave those treasures underground and let the tomb robbers dig them up, right?"

"So I just told you that in our archaeological community, a big event has just happened!" Ding Sicheng said, his tightly knit brows also relaxed.

"What's the big deal?" asked Poplar again.

"Just because many of our country's precious cultural relics have been auctioned in the international market in recent years, there is an American billionaire and a respectable patriotic overseas Chinese, who took the initiative to contact our country's cultural relics bureau some time ago, and is willing to spend a huge amount of money to help our country develop archaeology and protect undiscovered underground cultural relics. However, at present, there is a serious shortage of archaeological manpower in our country, and the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau have repeatedly considered and listened to the opinions of this patriotic overseas Chinese, and decided to organize a special task force to search for tombs throughout the country according to some existing clues in the archaeological circles. Strive to focus on the protection of these tombs before the tomb robbers, and wait until the future to free up manpower and slowly excavate them. In light of this, I thought of a treasure in your grandfather's possession. ”

Ding Sicheng finished speaking, and looked at Poplar with a smile.

Seeing that Poplar was very uncomfortable, he had to ask tentatively: "Since it is...... If you want to find the tomb, the treasure that Uncle Ding said should be helpful in finding the tomb, right?"

Seeing Ding Sicheng nodding with a smile, the heart hanging by Baiyang suddenly fell into place.

Because it was obvious that the jade pendant around his neck would not be the treasure that Ding Sicheng wanted.

"I don't know what the treasure Uncle Ding wants, but the things that my grandfather left me are all in a wooden box, I'll take them out, Uncle Ding, you can find them yourself!"

As Bai Yang spoke, he had already stood up, dragged out the small wooden box left by his grandfather from under the bed, opened the lid of the wooden box directly, and pushed it to Ding Sicheng.

"Uncle Ding, let's see if there's anything you want here, anyway, the things my grandfather left me are here!"

Ding Sicheng couldn't hold back the joy on his face, and immediately squatted in front of the wooden box, put aside other things, and only took out a small wooden box placed inside with his hand, holding it with one hand, and carefully opening the lid of the wooden box with the other.

He only glanced at the wooden box, and then he couldn't help but exclaim: "That's it, this is the treasure of the tomb robbery world, the yin and yang compass! It is not the same as the ordinary feng shui compass, the feng shui compass can only determine the good luck of feng shui, but this yin and yang compass can directly find out where the tomb is! I didn't expect you to be so well preserved, there is not even a trace of rust and dust!"

Poplar is naturally very familiar with this so-called "yin-yang compass", which is a palm-sized disc with two hands on it, and many scales on the edge of the disk, which looks like a clock.

In fact, when you open the back cover, you can see that there are a lot of gear-like structures inside.

But because Poplar's father hated the identity of the "tomb robber family", the old man Bai never explained to Poplar in detail how to use this yin and yang compass and what it was for.

"Uncle Ding, how does this yin-yang compass look like a clock?" asked Bai Yang.

"This is not a clock!" Ding Sicheng looked back at him in surprise, "When Old Man Bai was alive, didn't he tell you about the use of the Yin and Yang Compass?"

"No!" Poplar smiled awkwardly, "I was young then, and ...... Uncle Ding, you should know, my dad is very unhappy that my grandfather told me about these things in the tomb robbery world!"

"Yes, I know!" Ding Sicheng nodded, "It's because of your father's character that the old friendship between our two families will slowly become alienated!"

Ding Sicheng sighed softly, and hurriedly changed his mouth.

"You see, this yin-yang compass is very similar to a clock, in fact, its two hands will only keep rotating when they encounter the tomb. And according to the direction specified by his two pointers, the specific location of the tomb can be found. ”

"How is it so amazing, and how is it made?" asked Poplar again, genuinely curious.

"I don't know! This yin-yang compass has been around for hundreds of years, but it's a pity that many of the wisdom of our ancients can't even be understood by us modern people!"

Ding Sicheng's words do not sound exaggerated, in fact, not only in China, but also around the world, many fine cultural relics, in the era of backward technology, how to make it, is still a mystery.

For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng invented the "Wind Ground Motion Instrument", which can accurately determine the occurrence of long-distance earthquakes.

It was in the Eastern Han Dynasty nearly 2,000 years ago, and now 2,000 years have passed, and with the modern level of science and technology, this kind of ground motion instrument cannot be copied.

"By the way, Uncle Ding!" Bai Yang suddenly remembered, "Aren't you looking for an ancient tomb? There may be an ancient tomb hidden in this forest, but it's just ...... It's not huge, but it's very evil!"

He recounted the day when the Iron Bull fell into the crack in the ground and was bitten by something.

Later, it is said that he brought explosives to blow open the cracks in the ground, and two blood-red monsters burst out of the cracks in the ground, almost killing him.

He didn't mention the "Blood Wolf Guarding the Tomb", but Ding Sicheng was already full of surprise when he heard it, and couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "What do those two blood-red monsters look like?"

"It's disgusting to watch, it feels like ...... Skinned like a hungry wolf!" said Poplar.

Ding Sicheng stood up suddenly and blurted out: "Skinned wolf, do you see it?"

"Look at it, I almost died, how can I not see it?" Bai Yang nodded affirmatively, pondered in his heart, and still said, "I looked through one of my grandfather's notebooks, it seems to be ...... Blood Wolf Grave Guard!"

"Blood wolf guards the grave! Blood wolf guards the tomb!"

Ding Sicheng muttered in his mouth, but he was wandering around in the house.

"Dad, what the hell is a blood wolf guarding the tomb, are you so shocked?" Ding Lingling couldn't help but ask.

Ding Sicheng didn't answer immediately, but sat down again, took a sip of the wine glass first, and then said, "Blood wolf guards the tomb...... It was a legend, and I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his face to look at Bai Yang, and said, "You still remember that place, take me to see it tomorrow!"

"But that place has been blown up by me, and...... It's just a small tomb!" said Poplar.

The reason why he told Ding Sicheng about this was of course because he was moved by Ding Sicheng's affection for ancient relics.

But a more important reason was that he wanted to ask Ding Sicheng to help him translate the meaning of the words on the parchment.

He believed that it would reveal whether the dark red pill was the antidote to the blood wolf's poison.

But the question is, he has already given that pill to Tie Niu to eat, with Ding Sicheng's attitude towards ancient relics, will he be blamed for destroying ancient relics?

While pondering in his heart, Ding Sicheng said: "I know that the tomb will definitely not be very big! The blood wolf guarding the tomb is not something that ordinary people will use, so according to my inference, it should be an ancient tomb built for himself by a Taoist who practiced in the mountains and forests!"

"Why should a Taoist go to great lengths to use this kind of evil art when he built an ancient tomb for himself? Could it be that there are any valuables in his tomb that he is afraid of being stolen?" Ding Lingling said.

"That's the problem!" Ding Sicheng nodded, "If it is really a Taoist tomb, then in the hands of this Taoist priest, there must be a very precious item, but the Taoist priest has limited financial resources and cannot set up a mechanism in the tomb, so he can only use the spell of the blood wolf to guard the tomb to protect his tomb from being coveted by tomb robbers!"

Bai Yang listened to the discussion between his father and daughter, feeling more and more ashamed, and finally stood up and gave Ding Sicheng a deep bow.

Ding Sicheng was very strange and said, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Yanghong's face was flushed, and he said, "I'm sorry Uncle Ding, I once went into that ancient tomb and took out a small wooden box from it, and ...... Destroyed the wooden box and found two pieces of parchment and a pill inside!"

Ding Sicheng and Ding Lingling looked at each other and asked what was going on.

Poplar then went into the tomb, found the wooden box, sawed it open, and found a pill and two pieces of parchment from inside, and told him honestly.

Ding Sicheng was very surprised and said, "You show me those two pieces of parchment!"

Bai Yang hurriedly took out the two pieces of parchment from his own suitcase and handed them to Ding Sicheng.

Ding Sicheng first looked at the parchment that resembled a map, and said, "How does this look like half a map, did you take it out of the wooden box and do it like this? Or did you cut off the whole map when you sawed the wooden box?"

"I'll take it out and leave it at that!" replied Poplar.

Ding Lingling took the other piece of parchment and looked at it, suddenly jumped up, and said, "Dad, this seems to be ...... That legend about immortal medicine in the tomb robbery world!"

Bai Yang was startled and blurted out, "Immortal medicine?

Ding Lingling didn't answer, but handed the parchment in her hand to Ding Sicheng, and she stood behind Ding Sicheng and watched with her father.
