Chapter 20: A Bizarre Way to Enter the Tomb
I looked around and had to sigh again, the feng shui here is indeed superior. The approximate range we speculated yesterday should be good, the dragon veins come from north to south, the mountain we are standing on, there are high mountains in the north, three rivers converge in the south, and the open plain in the middle of the mountain and water should be the place where the cave is knotted. What's more, there are mountains on the east and west sides of this mountain at the foot of the mountain, and there are mountains echoing each other in the southwest and southeast directions opposite the reservoir, and the green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and Xuanwu are all available, which is the treasure land of the Tibetan wind and gathering qi.
But it is the so-called three years of dragon hunting and ten years of pointing. I only started for ten months at most, and most of the time I was self-taught, so it was not easy to talk about it. I tried to recall all kinds of feng shui theories and burial theories, although I have read a lot of books on the acupoints, and I also remember the twenty-four mountains or something, but I am not a strange person who has never forgotten, I only see that I can have a rough impression, and there is no compass in my hand, and I am not sure of the direction, and after almost turning over all the knowledge that has an impression in my mind, I know that this road is not working.
I was about to give up, but I had an idea to try to determine the direction of the knot by observing the trend of the earth's qi. So I carefully observed the direction of the mountains here, noticed the changes in the hills and dragons, and thought quickly while observing the contents of the book I was most familiar with.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and Mr. Shen was waiting for me without saying a word during the process. I identified three places that I thought were most likely, pointed them out to Mr. Shen, who recorded the general direction in his notebook, and then we went down the mountain together, we went back and ate something, and continued to work with the two seniors.
We first went to the first place that I think is the most likely, using carpet control, drilling a probe every 10 meters, six rows of horizontal and vertical, a total of 36 probe holes, so that it covers 2,500 square meters. But everyone went from hopeful to exhausted, and we found no trace of the tomb in this area. The three of them were so tired that they all sat on the ground to rest, but the atmosphere was very dreary and obviously disappointed. I also felt very uncomfortable, knowing that I was not good at learning, and I felt a little guilty about hurting them.
But after resting for a while, Mr. Shen was the first to stand up and said, "Since we have all come, let's continue, anyway, we know the approximate location, and it doesn't matter if we can find it or not." If these three places don't work, let's go back, find a large army to come and investigate, come, and work harder! ”
So we came to the second place again, and designed the point according to the method just now, and Mr. Shen was the first to go up. One probe hole, two probe holes, when Mr. Shen was panting and hitting the third hole, he brought a shovel of soil up, and he suddenly stopped moving, I know that if he has this reaction, it means that there is a play!
Sure enough, he froze for a moment and whispered, "Found it!" ”
He poured the earth on the ground and told us that it was obviously rammed earth, and that the entrance to some tombs was usually blocked by rammed earth, and that there would be no other place in the grassland where rammed earth would be used. So this place should be very close to the location of the cemetery.
The two seniors also immediately got up and ran, looking at the rammed earth, the four of us were very excited, these days of hard work have actually received such a big reward!
After Mr. Shen recorded the direction, he looked around, and I guessed that he was keeping the location firmly in his mind. The two seniors took over the exploration shovel and continued to explore the approximate extent of the surrounding rammed earth.
Teacher Shen said happily: "The location of the mausoleum is determined, but its orientation is also very particular, finding the location of the tomb does not mean that we have found the location of the tomb, but we are enough, we can go back after packing up." ”
I said to him, "I want to give it a try, because books like the burial method talk about the choice of the location of the mausoleum, and if the owner of this mausoleum believes in the theory of feng shui, it must also be according to the burial method." ”
Teacher Shen agreed: "It's nothing more than to make a few more probe holes, and you will find the right direction when you hit the masonry." ”
So Mr. Shen and I planned to look around the terrain and guess the direction of its burial chamber based on my knowledge.
At this time, we were a little high-spirited, and even carried away, because we found a large tomb by listening to thunder and watching feng shui, and determined the exact location, no matter what, it is a great achievement, and it can even be said to be a unique miracle in the history of gold and stone.
I walked in front of Mr. Shen, the two of us were talking and laughing, looking up at the surrounding peaks, and when I wanted to point to the peaks and blow some burial principles with Mr. Shen, I suddenly felt that my feet were empty, and the person fell down, I exclaimed, and subconsciously raised my arms to grab the ground. Teacher Shen also reacted quickly, rushed up and dragged me, although he pulled my arm, but his weight was much less than mine, and he was directly taken down by me.
In the process of falling, I quickly calmed down, and I knew that now I was landing with my feet down, so I was not so panicked, as long as it was not a bottomless pit, this position was not the most dangerous to fall. But you can feel that the heart rate is still extremely fast.
I have a pretty good physique, and I used to play wild, and I often jumped into the square from a place higher than a person at the internship site, so I practiced a certain landing technique. The moment I hit the ground, I subconsciously found that this height is not very high, as long as the person squats down, leans forward, or even does a forward flip to cushion it, it should not be too much, and for a moment there is even a little pride.
What I never expected was that almost at the same time as I was squatting steadily, Mr. Shen smashed directly into my back in a lying position, and I was pressed down by him, my face fell directly to the ground, and my brain began to be confused.
But he wasn't too much of a problem, at least not dead, and in a few moments he climbed off me on his own, and I could tell in the dark that he was lying next to me, as I heard his moaning voice.
My mind was very confused, I only felt a lot of pain in my feet and back, especially my ankles, neck and knees as if they were about to break, but I tried to move, it was okay, it didn't fall apart. I wanted to speak, but I didn't have the strength, or my brain was a little out of control, so I had to lie down and rest on the spot.
But I felt that the ground on which my face and hands were pressed against me was cool, hard, and obviously not dirt, and it felt like either bricks or polished stones. Even if I fall in a daze, I know this fact - we're in.
After a while, I heard the two seniors above shouting at us, but Mr. Shen did not answer, and he may have been a little confused.
I rested for a while, took a breath, struggled to turn over, and found a shiny round hole about a story or two above my head, and two men holding their heads out to block the sun.
I took a full breath and said in a loud voice, "Go find the oil lamps and light them for us." The voice echoed in the darkness, and it was terrifying.
When they came back, my consciousness gradually sobered up, and I slowly got up and pushed Teacher Shen beside me with a sharp pain in my ninja's back. Mr. Shen was also a little sober at this time, and regained some strength, and I dragged him to sit up and confirmed that there were no serious external injuries, so I was a little relieved.
He looked up at it and said, "Damn, this is a thief hole, right?" I didn't expect this kind of place to be found by tomb robbers first. But it looks like he's been a bit old, and he's still an ancient tomb robber. ”
He rubbed his legs and said to me, "Why don't you look at the sky and the earth when you kid walks, don't you see such a big hole?" ”
I don't know what to say, but I think back to just now, the ground was full of wild grass, and I looked at the sky, and I really didn't pay attention to the ground. I asked him, "Don't blame me for this, how are we going to get there?" ”
Teacher Shen slowly stood up, stretched out his arms and legs, and looked up.
After a few moments, he said, "Fuck, I didn't expect this to happen again, this time we don't have ropes or ladders in our gear." He shouted to him, "Bring them with two shovels and try them to see if they are long enough!" ”
I thought to myself, even if it's long enough, how can we catch the iron handle? But no matter what you say, it's a glimmer of life. But the length of the probe shovel is not enough, and Mr. Shen asked them to let go, and it may be useful to leave this guy to us. He pulled me back a few steps, and with the clatter of iron hitting bricks, the shovel fell in, followed by a tingling and creepy echo of the scalp.
Teacher Shen thought for a moment, and then shouted to the above: "You two pack up, bring the necessary dry food, hurry back to our station in City C, and hurry up to find Master Wang and ask him to save us." The rest of the food is packed in a bag and thrown to us, by the way, there are also oil lamps, wrap your clothes and throw them away, and throw away all the equipment you don't use in a while. ”
The two seniors left, and the surroundings were dark again, although there was light at the entrance of the cave, but it was useless in this kind of place.
We didn't speak until the two seniors came over and threw us two bags full of things, and Mr. Shen shouted for them to hurry up and told them not to let too many people know about it.
So, the two of us were left in this place. Wrapped in the darkness around me, I felt for the first time a sense of fear, but it was also exciting. But if Mr. Shen hadn't fallen, I might not have dared to move here.
Mr. Shen took out the oil lamp in his bag in the dark, and the moment he turned it on, the light shone on the wall next to him, and I turned my head just to see that there was actually a person on the wall!
I shuddered and jerked backwards.
Teacher Shen smiled and said, "You kid is too timid, take a closer look, it's a mural." ”
I glanced at it, it was indeed a mural, but it was too much like a real person, no matter how big or small the color was, the craftsmanship of this craftsman was also amazing.
