I smiled and said, "You have to ask about the tomb robbing genre." ”

Tanzi wondered: "Ask him what he does, he is an archaeologist." ”

I said, "You don't know, he has a lot to do with tomb robbing." ”

Tanzi stared at the glasses with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "Glasses, when did you join the tomb robber gang?" The glasses glared at him, and said angrily: "When did I join the tomb robber gang?" I don't share them with them! ”

The altar muttered, "That poor ghost said you ......"

I smiled and said, "I said that the glasses have something to do with the tomb robber, and I didn't say that he was the tomb robber...... Hey, do you know who are the three types of people who are most closely related to tomb robbing? ”

"I don't know."

I said, "The first category is the middlemen who make the difference—those who buy artifacts from tomb robbers and then go out to resell them; the second category, the police; The third category is archaeological. ”

The altar said: "I understand the first two categories, but what does this tomb robbery have to do with archaeology?" ”

I said, "After the tomb robbers finish their underground work, which time is not the archaeological staff to clean up the aftermath!" They and the tomb robbers are not compatible. They are fighting a war without gunpowder, so it is very important to know each other and know each other. You see, often the people who know you best are not your best friends, but your enemies. But ......"

"But what?" Jar asked.

"The phrase 'one foot high, one foot high' has never been said in vain, and every time they do archaeology, they start later than tomb robbers, which also fully illustrates the fact that the power of the masses is great, and you should never want to walk in front of the masses." I say.

"And that's a fact...... said.

"What does it mean?"

"The master is in the folk!"

I immediately gave the jar a thumbs up: "What a hit!" ”

"Get out!"

Glasses thought about it for a long time and didn't have any ideas, so he told me and Tanzi about the school of tomb robbing he knew.

Glasses cleared his throat and said: "My country has a vast territory, with a distance of about 5,500 kilometers from north to south, and there are huge cultural differences. It is due to the huge cultural differences that the forms of tombs are different, so that the ways and methods of tomb robbery are also different, and they are roughly divided into two factions: the north and the south. The striking feature of the 'Northern School' tomb robbers is the tools they use, and the 'Luoyang Shovel' has heard of it, which was invented for the characteristics of the northern region. The soil in the northern region is sticky, so except for some large tombs, most of them are earthen tombs, and the Luoyang shovel is made for this characteristic. Therefore, most of the tomb robbers in the north will use the Luoyang shovel for accurate positioning, which is very convenient and effective, and even we archaeologists are now using this tool invented by tomb robbers. ”

"This 'Luoyang shovel' was invented by tomb robbers?" Jar asked.

"Hmm!" The glasses nodded.

"Listen to this name, you know that it was invented by a tomb robber in Luoyang." The jar must have said.

"Indeed!" The glasses smiled, "It is said that it was invented by a Luoyang tomb robber named 'Li Yazi'." This is because the backfill in a tomb is fundamentally different from the undisturbed soil. The soil quality of each soil layer in the original soil is different, and the color is also very different, so it is easy to distinguish. However, most of the soil in the tomb is backfilled by mixing the soil of each soil layer that has been excavated, so it is a kind of mixed soil, also called five-flower soil. So if you dig up a certain amount of five-flower soil in the ground, it means that there is a tomb underneath. ”

The altar shook his head and said, "I said that the master is in the people!" The wisdom of the masses is indeed boundless. ”

"What about the Southern Sect?" I then asked.

"The Southern faction is more technical than the Northern faction, and they do not rely too much on tools, but use the techniques and experience handed down from their ancestors to find tombs," the glasses said. Some people use the steps of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment to describe the tomb search technique of the southern school, that is, 'looking, smelling, asking, and cutting'. ”

"What is looking, smelling, asking, and cutting?" Tanzi couldn't help but ask.

The glasses explained: "Wang, the main thing is to look at Feng Shui. In ancient times, the location of tombs was determined by feng shui. The ancients believed that those so-called feng shui treasures must be a place where spiritual energy gathers and can shade their descendants, so they attach great importance to it. And these places became the gathering places of tombs. Smell is divided into two aspects: listening to sound is to listen to sound, and taste is to smell smell, according to the difference in the smell of the earth to distinguish whether there is a tomb. ”

"Dirt? And the smell? "I've smelled the dirt too, and it's not all the same?" ”

The glasses smiled: "Doesn't that sound incredible?" But that's just the way it is. The soil of tombs in different eras will be mixed with different things, such as mercury and cinnabar in the tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties, and green plaster mud after the Tang and Song dynasties, these special things will make the smell of the soil a little different. Ordinary people may not be able to notice, but they can't escape the noses of those veteran tomb robbers. ”

"Isn't it more powerful than a dog's nose?" The altar glanced at Lao Bai and said.

I suddenly remembered something: "I remember hearing a story about a tomb robber who found an ancient tomb by the sound of thunder,"

The glasses said: "There is such an incident, which is recorded in the book "Qing Yu Banknotes" compiled by Xu Ke in the Qing Dynasty. It mentions a tomb robber named Jiao Si who found an ancient tomb by relying on the vibrations from the ground during thunder, and this is the use of listening sounds. ”

"Qing Yu Banknotes? As soon as you hear this name, you know it's not a good book! Jar said.

"What's wrong?" I asked him with a smile.

"Money-like? As the name suggests, isn't it similar to a banknote! This is obviously a book that teaches people to make counterfeit money! The altar nodded deliberately and said, "You still teach people to rob tombs?" At first glance, it's not a good book to guide people to goodness! ”

"Then according to what you say, what should be written in "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang"?" Glasses asked him.

"Notes, of course, I wrote down my experience and recorded when I was studying and reading, which shows that Ji Xiaolan still loves to learn." The jar said nonsense.

"Okay, I also know that "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" was written by Ji Xiaolan, at least the TV series was not watched in vain!" I said with a smile.

The glasses told Tanzi: ""Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" is actually a short story in Wenyan, just like "Liao Zhai Strange Chronicles", and "Qing Yu Banknotes" is about the Qing Dynasty government and the opposition, recording a lot of socio-economic, academic, and cultural things, which is also very helpful for studying the history of the Qing Dynasty, and is not a book about counterfeit money as you say. ”

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about, I don't plan to look at these kinds of bills......" Tanzi said impatiently, "what about Q and Che?" ”

"Asking, which is very easy to understand, is to ask the locals, look for clues, what history, legends, monuments and even place names, etc., may reveal clues about the tomb. Cutting, on the other hand, is an in-depth and detailed survey of the earth's surface, which can not only judge the reality of the ancient tomb, but also judge its age, scale, and the condition of the burial goods...... Although I don't want to praise them. Glasses smiled wryly.

He looked around the coffin, as if he had to see something from it.
