You Fang cleaned up the scattered earth and stones around, took out nine spars of various types from his body, and placed a special formation around the bronze tree. Then he sat down quietly in front of the bronze tree, took out the scroll and spread it out in front of him.

He was already vigilant, You Fang naturally couldn't make the same mistake again, he didn't use his divine sense to stimulate this tree, because this bronze building tree was at the moment equivalent to the position of the spirit of a huge feng shui magic circle in operation, this formation was the vitality of the entire feng shui bureau of the mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, and it was self-initiated.

In front of this bronze tree that was about the same height as himself, You Fang felt that he was so small, a person naturally could not compare with the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, and he did not have so much strength to disturb it.

This time he sat down, still integrating the primordial spirit into it, but using the formation to restrain the spirit, not to participate in and stimulate this ritual, but to quietly feel its operation. He had a profound understanding - why is Jianmu in myths and legends regarded as a bridge between heaven, earth, man and god?

The sacred relics of the ancient tribe in front of me cannot be sensed by the divine consciousness at this moment, or it is integrated with the mountains and rivers of this place, and the freehand inlays on each stretched branch are the mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, plants and trees here, and the branches are like various tentacles, through which the divine consciousness can extend to the entire valley, and the sense is extremely clear.

You Fang began to use his divine sense to activate the spirit surname of the nine spars, and slowly operated the spirit array, beginning to end this ancient ritual. This is a rare opportunity for a thousand years, it is equivalent to condensing the feng shui spirit of this huge mountain and river to nourish the soul, it seems that a long time has passed, in fact, it is just an hour, the most incredible thing is that You Fang's divine consciousness is fully restored, and even faintly stronger than the previous peak.

When the spirit pivot slowly disappeared, the ancient ritual finally ended, and the nine spars also underwent some refinement, and the spirit surname reached its peak of purity. He stood up and put away the spar, and also rolled up the mountains and rivers in the scroll, and his divine sense finally clearly sensed the bronze tree in front of him.

It is indeed an ancient magic weapon, but it cannot be easily stimulated, the spirit surname it contains is too strong, too complex, with the divine sense to urge him, it can spread to the surrounding heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, to the extreme, and even can operate the entire mountains and rivers of the earth qi spirit center, but also contains a strange heart plate.

What's even more special is that when the heart disk was activated just now, You Fang clearly remembered that he had seen it, and when Liu Li dealt with Xiang Zuo Fox at the southern foot of Xiangshan, he had launched almost the same heart disk technique, but the power and scope were not as great as Fang Cai. You Fang knew very well that with his current realm, even if he glimpsed its subtlety, he would not be able to use it at all, but when his kung fu reached the point one day, he could try.

You Fang was at the peak of his physical strength and energy at this time, and he also wanted to try how to use this magic weapon, so he stepped forward and grabbed the lower part of the trunk with one hand and lifted the bronze tree up. Using it as a spiritual guide to operate the divine consciousness, he carefully controlled it within the reach of his own power, spreading the divine consciousness through the branches, experiencing the subtle sense between the entire mountain and the earth, and then pulling the rope to send a signal to the above.

"Xu Kai, do you want to come up?" You Chengyuan shouted from above.

"Sister Cheng Yuan, you get out of the way, lock the rope tightly, I want to go up with something, there are two people's weight." You Fang reminded him below.

This bronze tree weighs more than 130 catties with his hands, and it is usually very difficult to hold it in front of him with one hand, and You Fang uses it as a spiritual guide to run his divine sense, and the mountains, rivers, and earth qi are all stimulated, and even his body seems to be able to fly. Of course, he can't really fly, but he can use his divine sense to move the earth's qi up, and his body becomes very light with one force, and he floats up along the rope.

The way You Fang came out startled everyone, and he landed steadily with a tree-like object more than one person tall in his hand as if it had flown out of a hole in the ground. As long as the light that could be turned shone on him, then everyone let out an amazement, and then they were all deeply shocked by this thing like petrification, and they couldn't react for a long time.

For the master of the arcane arts, it is the artifact that runs the magic circle, for the tomb robbers, it is a great treasure, but for the cultural relics worker, it is a priceless national treasure, one of the most memorable moments of the archaeological discovery of this life! Who would have thought that at this excavation site full of thieves, such a treasure that is difficult to find in the world can be seen, which can be called a valuable discovery in the archaeological history of Southern Chu.

After a full five minutes, Chi Mu Duo reacted from his stunned state and shouted, "Chengcheng, why don't you wear gloves?" If you hold it like this, you will damage the cultural relics! ”

At this moment, he forgot that You Fang had assumed the pseudonym Xu Kai, and even called out his nickname, but fortunately, the rest of the people didn't pay attention to this detail. He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hands to pick it up, but You Chengyuan grabbed him and said, "Don't take it, you can't take it." ”

She could see clearly, You Fang jumped out lightly, landing very steadily, but his feet were trapped in the floating soil layer, this thing was probably more than a person, and Chi Mu Duo couldn't hold it when he stretched out his hand.

You Fang also shouted: "It's very heavy, don't move, find a place to put it down." ”

The archaeological team members were very nervous, excited, and excited, and hurriedly cleaned up a special tent, laid out felt mats, and walked in with the bronze sacred tree in their hands like the stars holding the moon, as if they wanted to support him at any time, lest he accidentally fall while walking.

When you put down the bronze tree, everyone circled around it with magnifying glasses and various portable instruments, their faces flushed and their eyes glowing, as if they had been stimulated.

"Jianmu, Jianmu, this is Jianmu, Sanxingdui has been unearthed!" Jiang Xiafei shouted loudly.

"Yes, this is the Bronze Divine Tree, the legendary Jianmu!" Everyone spoke up and agreed.

After discussing it for a long time, they remembered to turn around and ask You Fang what happened in the tomb, and there was even a hint of blame in his words, such a big and precious artifact could climb up with one hand so casually. Even if the force is amazing and can be moved, even if there is a slight deformation of the force during transportation, it will cause huge losses to the national treasure.

You Fang didn't say anything, just smiled and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." ”

Chi Mu Duo asked, "What else is down there, why have you stayed for so long, have you restored this building tree?" It's also too risky! He could see that the branches of the bronze building could be removed, but to put it together with his bare hands in the tomb was indeed at the risk of damaging the artifact.

You Fang shook his head: "I haven't recovered, it's like this." There was no tomb underneath, but an altar with timber, and it was empty and there was nothing else. …… I've been here for a long time because I've had a very strange dream, do you want to hear about the history of this thing? ”

Jiang Xiafei leaned over and grabbed You Fang's arm and asked, "Is it a hallucination on the spot, you have encountered a mysterious phenomenon, tell it and listen to it!" ”

You Fang: "If you want to hear the story, just sit down." …… Director Chi, do you recognize the inscriptions on those two swords? ”

Chi Muduo replied with a little shame: "I know one Chu character, the other two words can be recognized but I am not sure, and there is one word that I have never seen." ”

You Fang: "I know now that the male sword is engraved with 'Chuyang', and the female sword is engraved with 'Nan Xi', which is very interesting, this place is now called Chuyang Township." These two swords have been the symbolic guardian of the tribe for generations, and have been held by two people, a man and a woman, who are both priests of the tribe......"

You Fang briefly recounted the story of this ancient tribe, and finally said: "The traces left by the burial tombs on the left and the right are actually an ancient ritual, and those people wanted to leave behind such a vanished lineage history and their sacred relics before leaving, and tell future generations." …… Director Chi, you can include this story when you write the excavation report. ”

Chi Mu Duo frowned slightly: "This is a bit like speculation, it's hard to explain." ”

You Fang: "This is a legend, which can add to the appeal of cultural monuments, the story of the ancient city of Pompeii, didn't Professor Wu Pingdong tell it?" There are also remnants of frescoes in the burial chamber, which are also precious monuments, and you can go down and see for yourself, and this information is recorded, but unfortunately the upper part has been damaged. ”

Jiang Xiafei said with a smile: "In addition to the archaeological report, you can write another work, which is really a good subject." ”

Chi Mu Duo said thoughtfully: "Xu Kai, are you saying that this valley was buried more than two thousand years ago, and the terrain we see now is nearly a hundred meters higher than back then?" ”

You Fang: "Yes, haven't you done a probe for a while?" ”

Jiang Xiafei continued: "Why not, in the valley to explore the shovel, the shovel rod is put on the head, more than ten meters deep or the soil layer, there is no bottom bedrock at all, this is simply incredible in our mountainous area." …… Originally, we were shoveling in the field, so that the villagers saw that they would extort 500 yuan, saying that we had dug up the crops, but fortunately I was a local and did not let them extort it. ”

Zhang Renyun also explained: "This phenomenon is indeed relatively rare, and the mountainous area is not the Guanzhong Plain. "Luoyang shovel is widely used in the flat area with thick soil layer, but in this mountainous area to do large-scale exploration, often a shovel can touch the rock formation, the effect is greatly limited.

You Fang blinked his eyes and asked again: "What are the living conditions in Feiju Village today?" ”

Zhong Yi: "Feng Shui treasure, of course it's good." ”

Jiang Xiafei: "I can't say that, this valley is prone to waterlogging, and the harvest of crops is not good. However, this village has always had plenty of food and clothing, and there are not many people who go out to work, and there are many specialties in the surrounding mountains, so it is completely possible to develop a variety of operations, which is enough for the development of this village. If the road is repaired, it is not difficult to become rich, and the natural conditions are much better than the surrounding villages. But these people are lazy and greedy, and they are not willing to work so hard, and they don't even repair the road after robbing the tomb and making a fortune, lest it be too convenient for others to enter the mountain and find out about their illegal activities. ”

Chi Mu Duo interjected in a deep voice: "According to the archaeological conclusions, looking at the information left by this tomb, this place was very rich more than two thousand years ago, not only the agriculture was developed, but also the level of handicraft was quite high. I found traces of textiles in the tomb, and the fine lines could not be cotton or linen, but only silk fabrics, which were so exquisite that people were suffocating! ”

Zhong Yi also said: "The large mulberry forest that entered the valley is likely to have been planted by the ancients, and there is only silk in mulberry, but now that it is abandoned, these villagers have not thought of using it again, what a good condition." Alas, the silk weaving process of Nanchu is probably lost a lot now, but I hope that this research can rediscover some and see if it can be used and improved with modern technology. ”

Zhang Renyun asked on the side: "No, could it be that two thousand years ago, this place was not flooded, how is it suitable for the development of agriculture and the formation of the accumulation at that time?" ”

You Fang stretched out his hand and drew a pattern on the ground: "Two thousand years ago, this place was not what it is now, at least most of the time it could be harvested in drought and flood, and thousands of acres of fertile land can be planted not only with crops, but also in modern times, there are many cash crops on the surrounding mountains, and the value is no worse than this valley." …… There are two streams here, and there is an artificial embankment at the top, which is the oldest hydraulic project. ”

There are two draining streams on the left and right sides of the valley, originating from the left and right passes of the central valley, and there are artificially enclosed dams at the source.

Jiang Xiafei was very surprised and said, "Oh, you also know about water conservancy engineering?" This is the planning idea for the transformation of this mountainous watershed! A small artificial reservoir was built on the left and right, and two flood drainage canals were excavated, and irrigation and flood control facilities were available. ”

You Fang said modestly: "I don't study water conservancy, but I know a little bit of feng shui, and this arrangement is a near-perfect feng shui wall." It's a pity that the villagers here don't want to really build their hometown better, how to make use of this natural feng shui treasure? All day long, I will do those things that are the annihilation of criminals! …… Sister Xia Fei, what major are you studying? ”

Jiang Xiafei: "I originally graduated from Hohai University in Nanjing, studying geology and water conservancy, but after graduation, I was interested in archaeology and changed my career to study archaeology. …… With these water conservancy projects, the road into the mountains must be repaired. …… Director Chi, it seems that when you submit an archaeological excavation report, you should not only attach an ancient legend and story, but also a report on the management of small watersheds in mountainous areas to guide the villagers to do something serious. ”

Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Isn't it enough for us to suffer from those villagers?" We're just an archaeological team, just do our job! It's obviously a beautiful place here, and even if there are no these, there is plenty of food and clothing, but they want to do that! Don't they understand it themselves? This kind of person does not deserve kind sympathy, and it is only to my liking that a village should be arrested. ”

Chi Mu Duo sighed: "Even for the sake of future generations, I will provide such a report to the local political axe and villagers, Xia Fei, you are professional in this area, you will write it." As for whether they adopt this kind of advice or not, it is their own business, as the old saying goes, it is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you cannot live if you do sins yourself! ”

Then he said hatefully: "But! Those tomb robbers and criminals can't let go of any of them! My mentor, Professor Wu, told me that if you are a human being but don't know how to be a good person, the world is full of poor mountains and bad waters. ”

The more they chatted, the more lively they became, and after talking for a long time, they remembered what they should do, and it was not too early, Chi Muduo ordered: "This bronze building tree is too important and precious, it must be sent away as soon as possible, and it will be sent directly to the provincial museum, it is definitely not safe here!" …… Zhong Yi, Lao Zhang, Xia Fei, and Dayou, you disassembled it and packed it separately, it is not easy to transport it. I'm going to go down to that altar and examine the frescoes that are still there, to see what conditions are preserving, and I'm going to record them at once. ”

The four members of the archaeological team stayed in the tent, preparing to dismantle the branches of the building wood and protect them with special packaging for transportation, this kind of work is not to dismantle the computer at home and pull it down if it is broken, but almost as meticulous as peeling raw egg shells, and it will take at least one or two days to complete it all.

Chi Mu Duo and You Chengyuan walked out of the tent and were about to go down to the "tomb" again, when You Fang came out and whispered: "Brother-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you." ”

They came to a secluded place, and You Fang pointed to the flat ground at the foot of the mountain in front of him and said: "With the eye of a tomb robber, even if you are a master, the big tomb where you can find traces in this place has basically been touched, brother-in-law, are you disappointed?" ”

Chi Mu Duo's tone was so distressed that he was about to drip blood: "Yes, none of the nearly 100 tombs have been spared, almost nothing can be stolen, if it weren't for the survival of the most precious building tree in the end, I almost wanted to cry for three days and three nights, to tell you, I even have the mind to cut people with a knife!" ”

What kind of situation is this, so that a well-mannered scholar like Chi Muduo wants to cut people with a knife, but You Fang smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are a person with status, and you also work in the public family, and now my sister is the same." Don't mention that kind of thing like setting fires or cutting people, don't even ask, and leave it to a Jianghu person like me to deal with it. ”

You Chengyuan smiled: "Your brother-in-law is just an analogy, if you really want him to cut people with a knife, I can't even dream of what it looks like." ”

Chi Mu Duo was shocked and said: "Chengcheng, listen to your tone, you blew up the village committee?" ”

You Fang shrank his shoulders: "Brother-in-law, I didn't say anything." ”

You Chengyuan also rushed to speak: "Mu Duo, Chengcheng didn't say anything, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Chi Mu Duo sighed again, simply stopped talking, and You Chengyuan said again: "I'm also a little afraid, if I come one step late, I'm afraid this priceless national treasure will be lost, and it will become a rootless thing again." ”

You Fang added: "I'm afraid it's not just the loss, I'm afraid that these greedy and stupid villagers, in order to share the spoils and get more money, have dismantled the entire bronze tree and sold the leaves, and one tree has become a hundred ancient bronzes, and it is inlaid with gold with inscriptions!" So this ancient building tree will disappear forever and will never be found again, is this kind of thing still rare in recent years? ”

The sisters and brothers have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and they chatted very casually, but Chi Muduo's face became darker and darker, and when he saw that he obviously didn't like to listen to this topic, You Fang quickly changed his tone and said: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, I called you out to tell you good news, in fact, less than half of this tomb group has been found, and the rest are buried under this slope, and the shallowest is at least dozens of meters deep." ”
