Chapter 392: Cao Cao's Tomb

Hong Tianbao followed Professor Fang to the tunnel, the tunnel was very dry, strangely, there was no feeling of stuffiness inside, it seemed that the ventilation measures were relatively good. net

"This is the essence of the ancient emperor's tomb, which is that there are no vents, but the air can be kept open. Many cultural relics could not have been seen, but they can be kept intact in the ancient tombs. In fact, many things in this are still a mystery, and many of their things are beyond the reach of modern people. Professor Fang said.

Hong Tianbao nodded, and the two continued to walk forward, and soon arrived at the place where the archaeologists worked. When everyone saw Professor Fang, they greeted each other. Professor Fang introduced Hong Tianbao to everyone, and when he learned that Hong Tianbao was Professor Fang's disciple, everyone cast envious eyes. In their eyes, Professor Fang is an authority in China, and being able to join Professor Fang's disciple can be described as a promising future.

"Is there a catch?" Professor Fang asked.

"Not for the time being, this is a trap door, and our personnel haven't been able to crack it yet, it seems to be related to the five elements of gossip in Feng Shui." One of the leaders replied.

Professor Fang nodded, and he stepped forward to observe. This door is like an elevator door, with a mechanism next to the door. It was a disc with a compass on it.

I saw that the top is also divided into heavenly pools, the inner disk and the outer disk.

Tianchi is a long black needle, fixed in the inner plate. There are many concentric circles printed on the inner plate, layer by layer. Each layer is divided into different equal parts, some have more layer grids, some have fewer layer grids, and the least is only divided into eight grids. Each grid is printed with a different character. The outer plate is a square block of stone that clings to the stone wall.

There is also a pulley on the side that can rotate to control the rotation of the disc mechanism.

However, the content on the disc mechanism is the content of the gossip, which records the eight directions and manifests itself in eight forms. Each hexagram represents a certain thing. Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Kan represents water, and Li represents fire. Zhen represents thunder, Gen represents mountain, Xun represents wind, and Dui represents swamp. The eight trigrams are matched with each other to obtain sixty-four trigrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and human phenomena. It is discussed in detail in the Book of Changes. According to legend, the gossip was created by Fuxi. Later it was used for divination.

"The combination of gossip and the five elements? This is not unusual. However, this invisibly increases the difficulty of cracking dozens of times, not only to correct the gossip in the inner layer, but also to correspond to the five elements of the outer disk. Professor Fang said.

He scrutinized the odd combination, hoping to find out how it patterned.

The outer plate depicts the five elements, and the five elements of gold, wood, fire, water, and earth are divided into five directions.

The Five Elements is a material concept in ancient China. It is mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine, and divination. The five elements are: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is believed that nature is made up of five elements, and with the rise and fall of these five elements. The changes in nature not only affect the fate of people, but also make all things in the universe circulate.

"I remember as if it were a thunderstorm of nature for wood, located due east; The nature of Dui Wei Ze is gold, located due west; The nature of the fire is fire, located due south; Kan is water in nature, located due north; Kun is the nature of the land, which is located in the southwest; Gen is a mountain, and the nature is earth. Located in the northeast; Xun is windy in nature wood, located in the southeast; The nature of the dry sky is gold, and it is located in the northwest. Hong Tianbao remembered the introduction in a book that Professor Fang had shown him.

"Not bad! In principle, this is true. But here is an extra pulley. When the pulley is turning, there may be some unforeseen dangers. Professor Fang said.

He turned his head and asked, "Are there any dangerous facilities such as arrow holes found around?" ”

"No findings, there doesn't seem to be any anti-theft measures." One person answered. …,

Hong Tianbao looked around and didn't find anything unusual. To be on the safe side, he used his divine sense to look through the surrounding passages. As soon as his divine consciousness unfolded, he immediately discovered the hidden crisis here, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

He found that the passage was overtaken by square boulders the width of the passage. As long as you touch the mechanism indiscriminately, the boulders hanging above it will fall one by one. It can definitely crush the people below to pieces.

Hong Tianbao simply continued to deepen his divine consciousness and found that this ancient tomb was very strange and dangerous. There are several major passes inside, and each pass has great dangers, but every time a pass is opened, there are certain treasures. It's like encouraging people to beat the test. The ancient tomb is not only divided into two layers, but also two floors.

"It's actually the ancient tomb of two emperors?" Hong Tianbao was shocked in his heart. He found that there was an emperor buried above, and there was an underground palace on the lower floor, which was more complicated, grander, and more precious than the one above.

"No, how can this be? It was actually his mausoleum, and it is no wonder that the world has never discovered his mausoleum. Hong Tianbao realized that something was wrong again.

According to Hong Tianbao's observation, the upper floor is indeed the tomb of the emperor, which should be the cemetery of Liu Bao of the Han Dynasty. But the cemetery below is not an emperor, but a famous king in history. In ancient times, the emperor and the king were two different concepts. The emperor is the son of the world, and the king is just a local territory.

Emperor Shun Liu Bao himself was gentle but weak. Later, the eunuch and his cousin Liang began the Liang dictatorship for more than 20 years. Eunuchs and relatives colluded with each other to exercise power and arbitrariness, the politics of the Han Dynasty became even more acute, the class contradictions became more and more acute, and the people complained about it.

Under the tomb of Emperor Shun, buried is actually Cao Cao, a very famous leader in the Three Kingdoms period.

Everyone knows that Cao Cao was the founder and founder of the Wei state. He eliminated many separatist forces in the north, unified most of the northern regions of China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, laying the foundation for Cao Wei's statehood.

Until then, Cao Cao's mausoleum had been a mystery.

Cao Cao was different from the emperors of previous dynasties in funerals, and he proposed a "thin burial" for his posthumous affairs. He was the first emperor in the history of China to propose a "thin burial".

At that time, although Cao Cao was not called the emperor, his power and status were not lower than that of the emperor, why did he not only advocate "thin burial" but also practice it?

It is said that Cao Cao advocated frugality throughout his life, and he was extremely strict with his family and officials. His son Cao Zhi's wife was ordered by him to "self-judge" according to family rules because she was wearing ayaluo. All kinds of used cloth in the court should be repaired when it is broken, and it should be mended and reused, and it should not be replaced with a new one. There was a period when there was a famine in the world and there was a shortage of property, Cao Cao did not wear leather uniforms, and in winter, the officials of the imperial court did not dare to wear leather hats.

It is also rumored that Cao Cao had robbed tombs in his early years. He witnessed the stolen bones and messes of many graves, and in order to prevent such a tragic situation after his death, he repeatedly asked for a "thin burial".

In order to prevent tomb robbery, while advocating and practicing "thin burial", he also took measures to "doubt the grave". The arrangement of the grave of doubt, of course, is also related to his suspicious nature. During his lifetime, he killed many people by mistake because of his suspicion; After his death, his paranoia was no exception. Legend has it that on the day he was buried, 72 coffins were lifted from four directions, south, east, west, and west, and from various gates at the same time.

Which of these 72 doubtful graves is real? The mystery of Cao Cao's tomb was then suspended.

For thousands of years, there have been countless tomb robbers, but no one has excavated the real tomb of Cao Cao.

Legend has it that during the warlord war, an antique dealer of the East India Company hired migrant workers to dig up more than a dozen doubtful graves in order to find Cao Cao's real tomb. Except for clay pottery, clay pots and the like, nothing was found. ..., no one expected that Cao Cao would hide his tomb under the tomb of an emperor. Using someone else's tomb as a cover in front is completely using someone else's as a shield. I have to say that this trick is indeed superb, and almost nearly two thousand years of the world have fooled it.

It seems that the thin burial advocated by Cao Cao is also a disguise, and his mausoleum has countless wealth, and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry Hong Tianbao are found to be piled up as high as a hill. A coffin is also made of the finest golden silk nan wood, inlaid with various precious gemstones, and hanging on it are seven fist-sized night pearls, distributed in the seven stars of the Big Dipper, exuding a soft light.

What excites Hong Tianbao the most is that he discovers a treasure that has been lost for more than 1,700 years: the geokinetic instrument!

The geodynamic instrument is an instrument made by Zhang Heng, a scientist in the Han Dynasty to measure earthquakes, and the geodynamic instrument is made of fine copper, and the appearance is engraved with seal inscriptions and figures such as mountains, turtles, birds, and beasts. Inside the instrument, there is a copper pillar; Eight dragons are cast around the exterior of the body, arranged in eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest.

The faucets are connected to the engines in the internal channels, and each faucet has a small copper bead in its mouth. On the ground aimed at the dragon's mouth, there were eight copper toads, with their heads held high and their mouths open. When there is an earthquake somewhere, the pillar will fall to that side, touch the tooth machine, and make the dragon in the direction of the earthquake open its mouth and spit out copper beads, which fall into the mouth of the copper toad, making a "dangchang" sound, and people will know which direction the earthquake occurred.

On December 13, 134 A.D., one of the dragon machines of the geokinetic instrument suddenly activated, spit out a copper ball, and fell into the mouth of the toad. At that time, the people in Beijing did not feel any signs of the earthquake, so some people began to talk about it, blaming the ground motion device for not working.

Within a few days, Long. Someone in the west quickly reported that there was an earthquake there a few days ago, so people began to admire Zhang Heng's brilliant skills. Longxi is more than 1,000 miles away from Luoyang, and the geodynamic instrument is correctly marked, explaining that its seismic sensitivity is relatively high.

More than 1,700 years ago, the geodynamic instrument mysteriously disappeared, and its appearance and working principle became a mystery for the ages.

But I didn't expect that Cao Cao would take it for himself. This also explains why Cao Cao sought Liu Bao's mausoleum as his own sacrifice. During Liu Bao's reign, it was the time when Zhang Heng invented the geodynamic instrument.

Figuring out this, Hong Tianbao really sighed for Cao Mengde's scheming, if it weren't for his divine sense, it is estimated that Cao Cao's tomb might sleep underground forever.
