Looking at Fang Ming, who was calling Sun Ming not far away, Zhao Matie took a sip of wine and said to Niu Ping: "Old Niu, this kid seems to be really a terrible person." ”

Niu Ping nodded and said, "Yes." You also know that Xie Peng's old boy has very poisonous eyes, not to mention Sun Ming, Liang Bo and others, they are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, they are all optimistic about this kid, and they are definitely not far behind. ”

"At such a young age, he has already made such a name, give a little more time, it's amazing!"

No matter which industry he is in, youth is always the biggest capital, like Fang Ming's age, it is quite rare in the antique industry, as long as he does not make mistakes, in a few years he will be a master of "famous all over the world".

Niu Ping nodded lightly, scooped up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, this mutton stew was so bad that even an old tooth at his age could eat it.

After chewing for a long time, he slowly put down his chopsticks, and as if the old god was on the ground, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, saying, "This kid, I am very optimistic about him." There are more capable young people, but there are very few popular people like him. ”

"It is said that this kid belongs to the halfway monk, and none of the people in the family are playing antiques, and they have not learned from the master, such a person must be talented if he can get out in this industry."

"And this kid is indeed very popular, he has the support of many peers in Ningdong City = one = book = read = novel xstxt, which is rare."

Zhao Matie raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? That's why you're willing to take him along? ”

Niu Ping nodded and said: "Yes, such a person will achieve great achievements in the future, so just send carbon in the snow, my ability to rob tombs is also one of the best, it's a pity that I can't pass it on at all, take this kid with me, let him see, at least he can know what's going on, it's rare that he doesn't have any aversion to our industry." ”

Tomb robbery is associated with thieves in the eyes of ordinary people, stealing things, destroying ancient tombs, etc., but these Niu Ping didn't feel it in Fang Ming's body, but he felt that Fang Ming respected himself very much, which was quite rare.

"Well, this kid is pretty good at that, too."

Fang Ming's phone call lasted for about twenty minutes, and his ears were already hot when he put it down.

"I called Sun Lao, and he said he knew."

On the phone, Fang Ming told Sun Ming about the matter, and he could hear that it had just begun

At that time, Sun Ming was very disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood, and discussed with Fang Ming about how to operate next, he knew that tomb robbers like Niu Ping had been looking for the imperial tomb all his life, and he said that the place he was digging would not be the place where the imperial tomb was located, so it must not be.

Although he had already guessed this result, the disappointment in his heart when he heard Fang Ming say it clearly could be imagined.

"Hmm."

Niu Ping responded softly, and then stopped talking about it, and said to Zhao Matie: "What do I want?" Got it? ”

"Aren't they just two Luoyang shovels? It's been ready for a long time, pillars, go get something. ”

Zhao Ma Tie shouted to Zhao Zhuzi, who had not spoken, Zhao Zhuzi nodded, stood up and walked to the back room, and took two things out after a while.

Fang Ming looked at the shovel in Zhao Zhuzi's hand, and his heart suddenly became excited.

Luoyang shovel, this thing is really famous! As long as you play antiques and know a little about tomb robbing, who doesn't feel like thunder about this thing?

There are a lot of cemeteries on the mountain in Luoyang, Henan, and then it is that the funeral goods are extremely rich, according to legend, since Zheng He went to the West seven times, China's ancient cultural relics and exquisite handicrafts have become hot-selling items in the West, so it has driven the tomb robbery industry, Luoyang shovel is invented to facilitate tomb robbery.

After the appearance of the Luoyang shovel, in more than 100 years, many ancient tombs in Luoyang Bishan have been stolen and dug up, so there has been a result of "ten tombs and nine emptiness" and a large outflow of ancient cultural relics, and the "Luoyang shovel" has become infamous. However, later archaeologists also slowly began to use the Luoyang shovel, because when it is not known whether there is an ancient tomb underground, if a large-scale excavation is time-consuming and laborious, the key is that it is likely to be empty in the end, and the use of Luoyang shovel can roughly determine whether there is an ancient tomb underground without large machinery. In the 50s of the 20th century, when Luoyang was built, a large number of ancient tombs were used to explore Luoyang, which can be seen in its efficacy.

Fang Ming hurriedly stood up and took the shovel from Zhao Zhuzi's hand and looked at it carefully.

At the front end is the shovel clamp, only about two inches wide, in a U-shaped semicircle, with a hollow handle about 5 cm in diameter and 20 cm in length, but it looks unremarkable.

"Huh? This thing is the legendary shovel? ”

Fang Ming looked at the shovel in front of him, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, he had heard too much about this thing, in the legend, this was an artifact of tomb robbery!

But now it seems that it is different from ordinary shovels, but it is not surprising.

"Humph! It's really unknowing. It is not surprising to look at this shovel, but just in order to create a good Luoyang shovel, there are more than 20 processes, such as billet making, calcination, heat treatment, molding, sharpening, etc., this thing should be made by hand. One of the most critical is the arc when forming, this must be careful, if it is not handled well, the shovel will not be brought out of the soil when it is driven into the soil, then the whole is a waste. ”

Fang Ming scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "Hey, I don't know much about this thing, but I heard that it can hit ten or twenty meters underground, and then the analysis of the soil brought out by the shovel head can determine if there is an ancient tomb below?" ”

"Yes, with such a shovel, you can make a deep hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters by human hands, but generally speaking, if there are antiques in the ground, it is basically at such a depth. Of course, if there is a longer stalk, it can be driven deeper, but generally speaking, there is not much need, because there may be groundwater below this depth, and it is impossible to bury the burial chamber so deep with ancient technology. ”

Zhao Ma Tie said and pointed at Niu Ping and said: "Lao Niu is a master in this area, and he can hit a depth of thirty or forty meters through special techniques. ”

"Ahh

Fang Ming shouted in a low voice, thirty or forty meters deep? This is too exaggerated, you must know that this is purely manual, even if you use a drill bit to drill it now, it is not an easy thing.

"Huh. Luoyang shovel can be mastered by ordinary people, but to fight deep, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and there is always a chance to see when you go out with Lao Niu tomorrow. ”

Zhao Ma Tie had seen Niu Ping's skills back then, the shovel head, the wooden handle, and the rope combined with the corresponding secret techniques, he could easily hit twenty or thirty meters underground, not to mention Fang Ming, even he was dumbfounded.

In this way, Niu Ping can analyze different soil layers, such as structure, color, density, etc., to determine whether there is a tomb below, for example, if there is "cooked soil" below, then there must be an ancient tomb, and then you can make a large hole into it. If not, then give up.

The real masters are familiar with all kinds of soil layers, and through the porcelain, gold, iron, silk, etc. contained in the soil, they can even infer the number of burial goods in the tomb, and those who are the most proficient, and even some people can judge it just by virtue of the sound and feel of the impact of the soil when the Luoyang shovel hits the ground

Here's what happens.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at this."

Fang Ming became excited, now there are fewer and fewer people who rob tombs, no, it should be said that there are fewer and fewer people who rob traditional tombs, and the masters among masters like Niu Ping are even more like rare animals, it is really one less time to see it. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can you not cherish it?

"Old Niu, how about letting the pillar go out with you this time? I'll give you a bag. ”

Zhao Zhuzi also became excited when he heard this, and said: "Grandpa Niu, let me follow, let's see, I'm tired of striking iron all day." ”

"Okay."

Niu Ping did not refuse, but immediately nodded and agreed.

Zhao Matie glanced at Niu Ping deeply, he had made such a request before, but Niu Ping never agreed, this time he just asked with the intention of trying, but he didn't expect Niu Ping to agree.

"It seems that I really plan to stop after going out this time."

Zhao Matie had such a thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, thinking that it was finally time for his generation to "retire" and quit the rivers and lakes.

This meal of wine and meat has been eating and drinking for nearly three hours, Zhao Matie and Niu Ping don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but they have said a lot of things about the rivers and lakes, which makes Fang Ming feel that he has benefited a lot, and he even feels that this should be Zhao Matie and Niu Ping are inheriting something to themselves and Zhao Zhuzi, and this is definitely very beneficial for him to "walk the rivers and lakes" in the future.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Zhao Ma Tie and Niu Ping had already gone to sleep, Fang Ming had already lay down, but he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up, and when he walked to the yard, he found that there was still one person who had not slept, and that was Zhao Zhuzi.

"Oh? You didn't sleep either? ”

Fang Ming walked to Zhao Zhuzi's side and sat down opposite him, finding that he was actually fiddling with a set of Luoyang shovels.

"Well, hey, Brother Fang Ming, if you hadn't come this time, Grandpa Niu wouldn't have agreed to let me go out with me!"

Under the moonlight, Zhao Zhuzi's face was full of excitement, obviously as he said, he had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Looking at Fang Ming, who was calling Sun Ming not far away, Zhao Matie took a sip of wine and said to Niu Ping: "Old Niu, this kid seems to be really a terrible person." ”

Niu Ping nodded and said, "Yes." You also know that Xie Peng's old boy has very poisonous eyes, not to mention Sun Ming, Liang Bo and others, they are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, they are all optimistic about this kid, and they are definitely not far behind. ”
