Hong Tianbao did not participate in this game between China and Japan, he received a call from Professor Fang, and immediately rushed to Luoyang, it is said that not long ago, someone found the figure of the tomb robber, forcibly broke into an ancient tomb, and stole a number of precious cultural relics, from the cultural relics, it can be seen that this is an emperor's tomb, and has to attract Professor Fang's attention

Professor Fang learned that Hong Tianbao had returned, and immediately notified him to come over, and since he accepted Hong Tianbao as a disciple, he had never imparted knowledge, so he took this opportunity to teach on the spot, and the effect was better

Luoyang is an important cultural ancient city in our country, the thousand-year-old imperial capital, the peony flower city, the birthplace of Heluo culture, one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, as the political and economic center of China for more than 1,000 years, it is known as the hinterland of Kyushu, and the myths of ancient Fuxi, Nuwa, Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu and so on are spread here

When he came to the destination, Hong Tianbao found that there were already many people present, archaeological experts, people from the cultural department, etc., and there were soldiers guarding outside, Professor Fang took a certain helmet and handed it to Hong Tianbao

How is Teacher Fang's situation, Hong Tianbao asked

This tomb is a little strange, it seems to be divided into two layers, the periphery has been broken down, part of which has stolen a lot of cultural relics, and we are now stuck outside a mechanism door, which still belongs to the outer layer, the inner layer is in the belly of the mountain, and the professor said

Hong Tianbao asked puzzledly: Teacher, how do you know that this big tomb has two floors

Professor Fang smiled and patiently explained: "It's very simple, we see deep ventilation holes in the outer layer, which means that there is another layer inside, which is not uncommon in ancient tombs, especially in the emperor's tomb, but many ancient tombs are vertically distributed from top to bottom, and this one is distributed horizontally from the outside to the inside

Teacher, whose grave do you think this ancient tomb will be Hong Tianbao said curiously

Hehe, it's still hard to say now, according to the information you get now, this should be an imperial tomb of the Han Dynasty, you also know that Luoyang is the imperial city of the Han Dynasty, and there are countless ancient tombs, and Professor Fang doesn't think it's strange

Hong Tianbao nodded, the Han Dynasty is a famous dynasty in the history of China, and has a far-reaching influence on later generations, otherwise there would be no Han people, Han people, Chinese characters and other terms, it is a sustained, stable and strong dynasty, creating a brilliant civilization, some people call the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire and the Mauryan Empire in India at the same time as the most advanced civilization in the world at that time

Alas, what these tomb robbers hate the most is that they destroy it casually, Professor Fang said with some sadness

Almost none of the five stone doors opened in this ancient tomb were intact, and all of them were forcibly broken by some miniature blasting methods, and some written records and some exquisite reliefs were destroyed in this way

Hong Tianbao didn't say anything, tomb robbers don't have these archaeologists, it's a matter of course, archaeologists may have more advanced means, now science and technology are developing rapidly, digging tombs often adds some modern scientific and technological means, such as ground penetrating radar, metal detectors, gas analyzers and so on

The real folk tomb robber is subject to various restrictions, he can't take the radar to rob the tomb, and even a Luoyang shovel has to find a way to disassemble and hide it, so they can only solve it with brute force

Tomb robbing also has a long history in the country, and has almost developed into a profession

According to historical records, the phenomenon of tomb robbery has prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the wind of tomb robbery in the following dynasties has been endless, and the custom of thick burial and the differentiation between the rich and the poor are one of the reasons for tomb robbery, and the relaxation of moral constraints has made tomb robbery more and more widespread, and most of the tomb robbery in history has been initiated for money

In ancient times, there was a funeral custom of death as a life, and the favorite and precious things were all buried with the emperor, and the nobles as the main possessors of wealth must be buried in their mausoleums and tombs, so they became the main objects coveted by tomb robbers, and the tombs of emperors and nobles of various dynasties were stolen and excavated, and there are countless examples of stolen and excavated tombs

Tomb robbery is also very knowledgeable, Hong Tianbao from Professor Fang gave a book to read the relevant introduction, generally from four aspects of looking, smelling, asking, cutting, this means and the old Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment methods sound very similar..., Hope is to look at the feng shui, the old tomb thieves are experienced and good at feng shui, so every place must first look at the terrain to see where the ancient tomb on the ground has been flattened, as long as it is a real feng shui treasure, it is generally a big tomb, the treasures in the tomb must be more, with feng shui to guide the determination of the tomb site without a mark, no more than a hundred shots

Speaking of this, there is also a story, it is said that it is said that during the Republic of China, a tomb robber surnamed Cai was very good at feng shui, if he went out to choose a point, the servants would gather around

Once, when he went to the countryside, his relatives went to a place with a very beautiful scenery, pointed to a paddy field, and said to his companions, that there must be a big tomb under this field, and the treasures in the tomb will surely make you and me rich, and the companions will not believe this person, so they made a bet with them: if there is no ancient tomb, he loses a thousand dollars, and on the contrary, if there is a treasure in the tomb, he will have seventy percent of the treasures alone

The crowd gambled and made a big deal, so they secretly asked dozens of villagers to excavate at night until midnight, and sure enough, they dug out the brick chamber, the tomb wall painted the life picture of the deceased, and there were swords, treasures, jade, lacquerware, gold cakes, inkstones, bamboo tubes and other things in the tomb, and later they sold them to the missionaries of the United States to get a large amount of dollars and became rich

Smell and smell the smell, the tomb robber with this thaumaturgy specializes in the olfactory function of the nose, he turned over the top soil layer of the tomb before the excavation, took a pinch of tomb soil and put it under his nose, sniffed violently, from the smell of the soil to distinguish whether the tomb has been stolen, and according to the color of the soil to judge the era, it is said that the best kung fu can use the nose to distinguish the subtle smell difference between the tomb soil of the Han Dynasty and the tomb soil of the Tang Dynasty, the degree of accuracy is amazing

Ask is to step on the point, good at this way, often pretend to be Mr. Feng Shui or Xiang Shi to travel in all directions, especially pay attention to the beautiful scenery and the place where the general has been a high-ranking official, they can generally speak the Tao, good at talking with the elderly, the old man, talk about the ancients, everywhere as a fortune teller or Mr. Feng Shui to visit the local elderly, from the conversation to obtain the ancient tomb information and direction

This kind of person has some skills and eloquence, and it is easy to gain the trust of the other party, and once he finds out the exact location of the ancient tomb, he will immediately gather a group of thieves to dig at night

The meaning of cutting the pulse has three meanings: the first layer refers to how to find a good hole after the discovery of the ancient tomb, enter the coffin at the shortest distance, this kind of kung fu not only requires rich experience in tomb robbery, but also has a keen sense of things, good at this way, often according to the topography of the direction of the veins, such as giving people the pulse, quickly cut the position of the coffin, and then from the slope to the head and tail of the coffin in the tomb, steal the burial goods, a few years ago, the tomb of Zeng Guofan was used to steal and excavate

The second layer of meaning refers to the feeling of the treasure on the deceased's body after the coffin is opened, from the head to the mouth, to the anus, and finally to the feet, as if to cut the pulse of the patient, to be meticulous and calm, pay attention to calmness, and be accurate without omission

The third layer of meaning refers to touching the unearthed cultural relics by hand, because the masters of the hands of the cultural relics are countless, so often do not need to use the eyes to examine, as long as the items are slowly touched, that is, to know what the value of the thing is geometric, they often use this technique to bet with people to win or lose, often the odds of winning

The knowledge of these tomb robberies is staggering because of the experience accumulated over thousands of years

In the past, in Hong Tianbao's heart, tomb robbers are a very mysterious identity, just like pirates in the eyes of foreigners, their hearts actually do not reject this profession, on the contrary, many of their methods are amazing (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
