"Today, I am honored to announce that the 16 volumes of the unique book of Splendid Wanhua Valley in Guoyunlou were officially donated by Comrade Wu Tianyuan to our Nanjing Library! Since then, all 56 volumes of the Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers have been successfully collected! ”

A grand press conference was held in the Chiang Kai-shek conference room, and more than a dozen media reported that Director Cui and Wu Tianyuan had officially completed the handover ceremony and would send the ancient books home together tomorrow.

"There are still a lot of books lost in Guoyun Building, please pick up more leaks in the future and let them all go home as soon as possible!"

The two shook hands, and the flash lights were witnessing the moment of history, Wu Tianyuan really became the headline of major newspapers this time, and the scenery was infinite.

"Xiaoyou, let's go back to Nanjing together tomorrow, I'll take you to the warehouse, just look at it!"

Director Cui is very happy that the Splendid Wanhua Valley can be collected in his hands, which is also a good thing for future generations to become famous. This time, thanks to Xiao Wu, I don't want money, just go into the warehouse and look at it, and choose a Qing Dynasty painting to finish.

"This is a list of all our existing Qing Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, this time thanks to you, I am in charge, I choose whatever you want."

Wu Tianyuan took over the list, more than 100 masterpieces, this is also the limit of what the museum can do, if it weren't for the fact that Wanhua Valley is too precious, even this benefit would not have it.

"Huh? This ......"

"Oh, you said Wang Shimin's album of Ten Views of West Lake?" Director Cui smiled: "You kid is very ruthless, the true works of the Four Kings of the Qing Dynasty, the album of ten views of the West Lake." One hand, two albums, three middle halls, four screens, five couplets, six facets! Do you want to choose an album right away? ”

"Hey, the main thing is that I like the collection in series, you see?"

Director Cui has a higher evaluation of Wu Tianyuan, the album is a rare collection, representing the author's style and strength, nodded and said: "No problem, leave this matter to me, you have to be sure that this is it!" ”

The Ten Views of West Lake is the favorite of painters of all dynasties, and they have been painted since the Song Dynasty until the Republic of China. At its peak during the Qianlong period, Wang Shimin and Wang Yuanqi among the four kings were both painted and included in Shiqu Baoji.

The next day, Wu Tianyuan and his party returned to the library, and entered the storeroom of the museum for the first time accompanied by Director Cui, and quickly went through all the Ming Dynasty paintings and calligraphy. Lao Cui is very strange, Wu Tianyuan just swept it with a dragonfly and water, and he was done, and he didn't study it carefully?

This matter is over, the sixteen ancient books exchanged for the landscape albums of the four kings of the Qing Dynasty are already making a lot of money, not to mention that they are also famous and absorb a lot of energy from the Ming Dynasty. Wu Tianyuan returned home satisfied, sorted out the calligraphy of the famous Qing Dynasty, and rested for two days to continue the treasure hunt in Japan again.

"It's good to get up early in the morning to visit the stalls!"

Wu Tianyuan has developed an early habit, especially when he visits the stalls in the antique city in the morning, and now he can hear a lot of things, and he can always pick up some small leaks.

"These Kangxi Tongbao are good, they can be sold for thousands of yuan." Wu Tianyuan was a little excited, the pleasure of picking up leaks from the stall has little to do with money, mainly because you can see pearls in the crowd, which is very refreshing in itself.

"I'm Qing Dynasty jade, come and save me!"

There are a few new faces in the stall today, it is estimated that they have just come back from shoveling the land in the field, according to experience, the probability of picking up leaks in their hands is higher, and sure enough, Wu Tianyuan heard a voice in a young man's stall.

"Boss, what do you say about this little jade shovel?"

The young man looked up, Dushan jade, the material is very ordinary, carved is a small shovel, very strange thing. He remembered that fifty was collected, and three hundred were directly quoted.

"I want two hundred!"

Wu Tianyuan casually returned the price, paid the money and left, and returned to the store to inquire about the news with the jade shovel.

"Tufuzi?"

Wu Tianyuan was shocked, he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary little jade was actually a token of the tomb robbery group?

"Of course, my master is the famous Tufuzi in the late Qing Dynasty, Jiao Si! The master of the ancient Faqiu sect is definitely the highest level of the people. ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, he had seen a lot of information about tomb robbery, and he knew Jiao Si because of the record in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes".

"Qing Barnyard Banknotes" was compiled by Xu Ke at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and the content involved in the book is extremely extensive, starting from Shunzhi and Kangxi, down to Guangxu and Xuantong. The book is divided into 92 categories, more than 13,500 articles, from military affairs, rules and regulations, to thieves and hooligans, folk customs, all remembered, can be said to be a compilation of the Qing Dynasty's historical anecdotes.

Although the Qing Barnyard Banknotes is not an orthodox history book, Xu Ke's compilation attitude is relatively strict, and many materials can completely correct the shortcomings of history, which is of great reference value for the study of Qing Dynasty social history. It can be said that Jiao Si, the tomb robber recorded in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes", is by no means fictional by Xu Ke, but a real person.

Ancient Chinese tomb robbers, divided from the region, there are two factions, north and south, with the Yangtze River as the boundary. There are many factions in the northern faction, such as the Luoyang Gang and the Guanzhong Gang, each of which has its own "scope of activity", and it is difficult for foreign gangs to enter. Under normal circumstances, each gang does not interfere with each other, and each does its own thing.

The northern faction is known for its "ingenuity", such as where is the thief hole? The shape of the excavation is exquisite, and it is very weird. The square-shaped robbery hole is created by the northern faction, because it is more common in the loess in the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi, and it is commonly known as the "Guanzhong-style robbery hole" in the circle. The northern tomb robbers are particularly particular about the use of tools, such as the Luoyang shovel, which was invented by the northern tomb robbers, which is not only their tomb robbery use, but also their tomb robbery skills.

The Southern School is known for its "skillful skills", and their means are superb, using their own or ancestral experience, combined with their mastery of Kanyu theory to explore caves and steal treasures, and they have a unique study of ancient Chinese feng shui knowledge.

The northern faction invented the Luoyang shovel, and the southern faction was good at using the four methods of "looking", "smelling", "asking" and "cutting", which was summarized by the "Changsha Gang" tomb robbers in the southern faction, which was their usual means and of course a stunt.

Jiao Si belongs to the "Guangdong Gang" in the southern faction of tomb robbers in the Qing Dynasty, he can use the ancient "white things" used in feng shui, wang qi and other means, to the fullest, is a magical gold master, modern tomb robbers should be out of reach, willing to bow down.

"Awesome, right? My master has the ability to "watch the wind", "look at the air", "listen to the sound", and "see the soil". He not only has a pair of "eyes into the ground", but also a pair of "ears that listen to the wind". Through guò "three listens and one look", you can know whether there is a tomb underground, and whether there are gold, silver and jade treasures in the tomb, whether there are more or less. ”

Wu Tianyuan listened to the jade shovel tell Jiao Si's experience like a legend, and he admired it very much, and he had heard his predecessors say in his early years that real masters don't need any tools at all. Grab a handful of soil directly on the ground, and know what tomb is down there when you smell it? What are the burial goods?

The so-called three listens are "listening to the wind", "listening to the rain", and "listening to the thunder". Of course, in the actual operation, it was not Jiao Si who "listened" alone, nor did everyone stand stupidly and randomly somewhere together, pointing their ears together, but scattering his accomplices to different directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The time to "listen" is generally chosen on a rainy day, especially when there is wind and rain, lightning and thunder.

It is said that one day, Jiao Siye took his accomplices to the northern suburbs of Guangzhou to look for ancient tombs. It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and suddenly there was a heavy thundershower. The thundershowers in the south are not as affectionate as in the north, and they don't talk about face at all. Suddenly thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, and rain poured down. ”

The jade shovel told like a storyteller: "Generally, tomb robbers will split up to hide from the rain at this time, but Jiao Siye does not allow it, no matter how fierce the thunder and lightning are, no matter how urgent the wind and rain are, they can't retreat." He instructed his companions to run in different directions, to listen carefully, and to write down what he had observed. He ran to the top of the highest mountain and observed the danger of lightning and lightning. ”

"Thundershowers come and go fast. It won't be down for a long time. At this time, the accomplice in the eastern direction came back to tell him, and when the thunder was the loudest, he faintly felt that his feet were in turmoil, like a slight earthquake, as if he had heard a corresponding sound from the ground. ”

When Jiao Siye heard this, he was overjoyed and knew that there was an ancient tomb underground. Open the tomb and there are a large number of treasures! ”

Some people may think that Jiao Si's trick is very mysterious, but there is actually a certain scientific truth. Because ancient tombs such as the Spring and Autumn Tomb, there are generally a large number of bronze vessels, metal carriages, and some treasures that symbolize status and status, these are conductive metals, and when encountering strong lightning currents, there will be a reaction, and he is using this to hunt for treasures.

Wu Tianyuan naturally believes in this, there must be something strange about the great strange people, he himself has special abilities, and there must be many people like the same in history.

"What good do you do me if you talk about it for a long time? Do you know the location of the tomb? Wu Tianyuan asked while cleaning up the jade shovel.

"As long as you treat me well, it will naturally be good!"

Jade Shovel said proudly: "Although I can't know the location of the ancient tomb, I can perceive other tokens in the team, and you are equivalent to half a person in the line!" ”

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, this is really good, since Jiao Si is respected by the people in the industry as Tufuzi, it is the highest honor. Tomb robbery has been repeatedly banned since ancient times, and now ancient tombs are stolen every day, and many cultural relics are smuggled out of the country.

With the help of the jade shovel, he has another treasure hunting route, and the chances of finding the treasure are much greater.

"Okay, I'll take you little shovel with me in the future!"

Wu Tianyuan strung up the jade shovel with a red rope and put it around his neck, which will be a small encyclopedia of tomb robbery in the future, which will be very useful.

"I now perceive a token nearby, just to the northeast."

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly drove to lock the direction according to the instructions of the jade shovel, and the car drove all the way to a small village in the suburbs.

"Keep walking, it's not far ahead!"

Wu Tianyuan looked around vigilantly, the village was not big and there were very few people. He walked to the innermost dilapidated courtyard before the jade shovel locked on to its position.
