Chapter 13 Luoyang Shovel
Ning Wan'er was praised for her beauty, and her attitude towards us instantly improved a lot, but when she faced Tony, she was still a little secretive and showed a look of shame.
Although she was a little shy, she walked up to Tony and asked, "Why didn't you call me?" β
Tony never looked at her, and said, "It's just a meeting in the water." β
Ning Wan'er was not angry at all in the face of such a cold Tony, and said, "Then what are you doing at my house today, don't tell me that you are here to propose?" It's presumptuous, but it's a bit presumptuous, and I'm not entirely unacceptable. β
I almost fainted, the eldest lady of the Ning family, who is above 10,000 people under this person, what is she thinking about all day long? Really a womanizer.
Tony was a little helpless, opened the folding fan and fanned the wind twice, and then stopped talking.
Ning Wan'er still muttered to herself: "It's so handsome, I just like your cold appearance." β
She asked again, "You haven't said it yet, why are you coming to my house?" β
Looking at this Ning Shanyue's appearance, it seems that he loves this brutal daughter very much, if we can get involved with this Ning Wan'er, then wouldn't it be half the matter.
I hurriedly glanced at Tony, meaning that he should hurriedly sacrifice his hue and quickly win over Ning Wan'er in front of him, otherwise this cooperation will not be negotiated.
Tony gave me a blank look, sighed and said, "We came to your house to talk to your father about cooperation, but he politely refused. β
As soon as Ning Wan'er heard that Tony was actually talking to her, and it seemed that she was still in trouble, she immediately came to her senses, walked up to Ning Shanyue, and said in a reproachful tone, "Dad, what's the matter?" People come all the way and talk to you about cooperation, can't you talk about it? Why reject people? β
Ning Shanyue looked aggrieved, and the unruly daughter in front of him came up indiscriminately to give him a beating and said, he immediately frowned, but he suppressed his anger and said kindly: "You crazy girl, what do you know?" This matter is not trivial, how can we let outsiders get involved in our own affairs, don't make trouble here, hurry back to the house! β
Ning Wan'er pouted and said, "I don't care, I owe them a favor, you have to help me pay it back, you quickly promise them!" β
Ning Shanyue was very helpless, covered his face and said, "You hurry up and let me go!" This matter is not negotiable! β
Ning Wan'er pointed at Ning Shanyue and said, "Okay! That's what you said, and you actually scolded me...... Woo woo, you ruthless father actually scolded me...... I can't get by, I'm going to run away from home with my sister...... You'll regret it! β
Ning Shanyue became more and more helpless, shook his head and sighed: "What did I say? Are you going to toss me to death every day? Besides, what does this have to do with your sister, you must not take your sister with you, okay......"
But before Ning Shanyue's words were finished, Ning Wan'er ran out angrily.
Only the boss of this Guanzhong region was left here to sigh empty.
We were going to say something, but no one could say anything in this embarrassing scene at the moment, after all, Boss Ning, who was full of majesty in front of this person, let me see his unknown side today.
I guess he must have felt disgraced today, so he waved at us without raising his head and said, "Let's go, don't come back." β
Dong Lao didn't want to give up, and said, "Boss Ning......"
"Let's go! I don't want to see you again! β
It seems that Boss Ning's mind has been decided this time, and if we stay here any longer, I'm afraid it will be really annoying.
The middle-aged man in a suit walked over, still politely gestured to please, and led us out of the door.
We sat in the car and headed back to the hotel.
During the meal, I asked: "Old Dong, why don't we find a spy by ourselves and secretly probe on the top of that Saga Mountain, anyway, at this juncture, he Ning Shanyue doesn't give us face, and we don't need to give him face." β
Dong Lao thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not advisable to find a spy here, after all, in this Guanzhong area, there are all the brothers in the Dao
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Listening to Ning Shanyue, he Ning Shanyue didn't speak, and no one dared to help us. But without the spies, we wouldn't be able to do it at all. I know a little bit about Feng Shui, although I can't compare to those professional spies, but I can barely top it. Let's set off tonight, and when the time comes, we will dig in some places that look good at feng shui, and if we are lucky, we will be able to find Wen Tao's tomb. β
Speaking of which, our motivation suddenly soared, it was really unpleasant to see that Ning Shanyue's face just now, now that Dong Lao agreed to let us go it alone, it couldn't be better.
At ten o'clock in the evening, we drove to Mt. Saga.
But when we got to this Sagayama, I realized that we were really naΓ―ve.
It's a big mountain.
I asked, "Elder Dong, this mountain is so big, where do we start?" β
Dong Lao also made a mistake for a while, and he couldn't say anything when he stood at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Tony suddenly said: "According to the customs of ancient tombs, people will definitely not be dirty at the foot of the mountain, so the bottom of the mountain can be excluded, and there is a Chongling on this mountain, which is the mausoleum of the ninth emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Since Wen Tao wants to choose his own tomb and doesn't want to be discovered by the world, he will definitely stay away from Chongling, so we can also rule out an area near Chongling, and let's find the rest slowly. β
When Dong Lao heard Tony's analysis, he hurriedly gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "What Young Master Wang said is very reasonable, we can drive to the farthest place from Chongling and start looking for it from there." β
So we drove around again and went around to a hill far away from Chongling.
It took us some time to climb up, and Dong Lao really looked like a feng shui gentleman.
But after looking at Lao Lao for a long time, Dong Lao rubbed his eyes and sighed.
Zhang Genhuo couldn't bear it at first, he said: "Old man Dong, what are you rubbing?" When I started digging, I was sleepy. β
Dong Lao sighed and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult." β
I asked, 'Can't find a place with good feng shui?' β
Dong Lao said: "It's not that I can't find it, but I have found a lot, there are too many dragon veins that are not in the climate, if you bury the emperor, it will definitely not work, but it is more than enough to bury ordinary people, where can you start......
I said, "Okay, if you want me to say it's the same as buying a lottery ticket, dig it first, and then say, if you really win, it's our luck, and if we can't win, we will change places." β
Dong Lao thought for a while, pointed to a mountain, and said, "Let's go there first." β
We carried large bags and small bags up and down, this is not yet the weather of May, and the cold in the mountains is heavy, but we did not do the slightest chill, because this over the mountains and mountains really makes people sweat profusely.
When we arrived at the mountain, Dong Lao asked us to put our bags on the ground, and then said, "Big Tiger Dabiao, pack up the shovel, and let's explore the ground." β
After hearing this, Da Hu and Da Biao opened the handbag and rummaged through it, making a sound of metal crashing.
I was very curious, when I was in Jincheng before, I wanted to open these handbags to take a look, but the old horse stopped me at that time.
Now I am willing to let go of this opportunity to feast my eyes, I poked my head into the hands of the big tiger.
I saw that the big tiger was holding a thing about 30 centimeters long, similar to a tube.
I asked, "This is the Luoyang shovel?" Why is it so ugly? β
Dahu nodded and said: "This is the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel, don't look at this ugly shopkeeper, this thing is very useful, now even the national archaeological team uses this thing to explore the ground." β
I asked thoughtfully, "Then what can you find out about such a head, then wouldn't you dig down thirty centimeters at most?" β
Dahu smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, you don't understand this, you see in this bag, isn't there a lot of irons, you see these irons, there are screw buckles at both ends, let's first connect an iron rod to the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel, and then make a hole down, this Luoyang shovel will bring the soil directly up, and clean up the soil in the shovel head."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After falling, hit it down, and when the hole gets deeper and deeper, and the length of this iron is not enough, then connect a new iron and hit it down. β
As he spoke, Dahu took out one of those iron rods, screwed it onto the Luoyang shovel head, and began to dig down.
I looked at the handbag, one of which had only one shovel head, and the others were iron rods of uniform length with screws at both ends. Each iron is only about half a meter long.
I frowned and asked, "Just hit it like this, when will it be a head?" How do you know if there's a tomb down there? β
Dahu said: "We generally go down more than ten meters to twenty meters, look at the soil layer, as long as we dig up the cooked soil, it means that there is a tomb below." β
At this time, Zhang Genhuo hurriedly said: "What kind of cooked soil, this soil still has a format of raw and ripe?" Who has nothing to do to cook the soil? How can you still eat it? β
I asked, "yes, what is cooked soil?" β
The big tiger scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Cooked soil...... Cooked soil is cooked soil...... How do you explain that......"
After that, he looked at Dong Lao with a pleading look.
Dong Lao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, look at the soil that the big tiger is digging up now." β
The big tiger has now hit three or four meters deep, and he has turned down a cylindrical clod of soil from the Luoyang shovel, I grabbed a handful and looked at it, but I didn't see anything famous.
Dong Lao said: "The soil you see now is raw soil, in other words, it is the soil layer that has not been disturbed by humans, it is uniform and loose. If you smell it again, it has a very fresh earthy smell, unmixed with any human scent. β
I actually took it under my nose and sniffed it, and said, "Soil is soil, where does it come from, isn't it all fresh and new?" β
Dong Lao smiled and said: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, this matter is in a hurry, and you will find your way out of the door slowly." β
I threw the handful of soil aside and asked, "Elder Dong, what does that cooked soil mean?" β
Dong Lao said: "This cooked soil, also known as five-flower rammed earth, is the soil when people backfill the tomb, these soil is often mixed with some gypsum or wood ash, and will be compacted very tightly, the soil is hard. After digging it out with a Luoyang shovel, it is very easy to identify. Na, this is the benefit of Luoyang shovel, you see this shovel head, every time you bring up a shovel of soil, it will retain the original structure of these soil in the ground, it is really very convenient. β
I heard it in a fog, but I probably understood, and I said, "After talking for a long time, what you want to express is that the sealed soil of the tomb is different from the ordinary soil. β
Dong Lao nodded and said: "Yes, the sealed soil of each tomb has been tamped, and the sealed soil of some tombs has been covered by raw soil after many years of changes, so we have to go to explore one shovel after another." But if you are lucky, you can still come across the kind of soil exposed to the sun, because the soil is too compact, so there will be no grass, you can see it from a distance, and the outline of the burial chamber can be roughly judged by looking at the outline of the surrounding vegetation. But most of those tombs have been dug up because they are too conspicuous. β
I asked, "That Ning Shanyue said, Zhang Tianqi and they are looking for a collapsed place in this area, what's going on?" β
Dong Lao said: "Just like a place where there is no grass, but where there is a large area of collapse, most of them have tombs underneath, because of groundwater erosion or other reasons, those tombs have collapsed to a certain extent, so the surface above is sunken, so that the outline of the tomb is revealed." β
"The outline of the tomb is very easy to distinguish, but how can we distinguish the outline of the tomb with a shovel and a shovel?"
Dong Lao said: "Like them, they poke down with a shovel head at a time, and when they dig into the five-flower rammed earth, they will move half a meter and continue to go down, and just move out little by little, until they can't dig the five-flower rammed earth, so that you can judge the outline of the tomb underneath." β
I listened to it with relish, I really didn't expect that the business of tomb robbery from the beginning of the rough digging and chiseling, has now evolved into such a deep doorway, I really don't know if it is the world or people are really so creative.
