Chapter 6: In the Tomb
The compass handed down by my ancestors is different from the compass of other schools, the disc surface of the compass of other schools is composed of eight trigrams, ten heavenly stems, and twelve earthly branches, and then twenty-four mountains were added to the compass after transformation, and it was divided into one hundred and twenty parts, three hundred and sixty degrees.
And the compass master hexagram handed down from my ancestors, the yin and yang center, the eight trigrams, the sixty-four trigrams, the seventy-two pacing, and the three hundred and sixty eons.
The upper part of the 360th eons should be circumferential circumferential, and the lower part should be a total of 360 bone joints in the human body, corresponding to many directions, a total of 360 degrees.
Seventy-two pacing is out of Yang Gong Feng Shui, which should have been seventy-two dragons, which belong to the three major hexagrams and four major bureaus, corresponding to the distance of the eight directions.
Taking advantage of the water law of the mountains, find the intersection of the robbery position and the number of paces to locate the specific location of the tomb.
Sixty-seven calamities and eleven pacing!
I walked about twenty-seven or eight paces, and saw the polarization of the hands slowly stop, and then stopped at my feet, half-crouched, and twisted a little dirt under my feet.
The texture of the soil is a bit sticky and grainy.
"This is it, dig down the perimeter!" I raised my head, looked at the people around me, unwrapped my backpack, pulled out a folding shovel, spread it out, and shoveled it into the dirt on the ground.
"Brother Li really has two brushes, just this hand compass to fix the acupoints, and few people in the circle can do one hand, it is really promising, but this kind of rough work is still left to us people." Qiu lame laughed, and took out a folding shovel from his hiking bag.
The shovel looks about the same size as the one I bought, but there are several notches on the side of the shovel surface, with serrations, rounded edges, and a polished shiny blade on the other side, which looks like some kind of composite steel rather than iron.
The rest of the people took out different models of folding spatulas from their bags.
Near the ground I pointed out, the shovel surface flew up and down for a while, and ten people dug quickly, bringing out pieces of loess, but I threw the shovel in my hand and found a piece to sit up and rest.
Although Tufuzi is holding a folding shovel, this is not a special tool for tomb robbery, and the special tool for tomb robbery is the Luoyang shovel.
Luoyang shovel, also known as exploration shovel, is an archaeological tool that is a half-cylindrical shovel. It was widely used for tomb robbing at the earliest.
A section of ash rod with a handle that can be attached to a long ash. When used, it pokes vertically down on the ground, which can be more than 20 meters deep, and the use of a semi-cylindrical shovel can bring out the soil underground, and gradually dig a deep well with a diameter of about ten centimeters, which is used to detect the soil quality of the underground soil layer to understand whether there are ancient tombs underground.
It's just that although the Luoyang shovel can be lengthened, it is not as portable and diverse as the folding shovel, and the current folding shovel is integrated and folded, which can be lightly stuffed into the bag.
Not long after, a man came down with a shovel, and his voice was not quite right, as if he had touched something hard.
The lame mound told him to pull it out quickly, and the tip of the soil on the shovel shone a little golden in the sunlight.
Qiu Cripple was suddenly overjoyed, grabbed a handful of soil on one side, took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag on the other hand, poured out half of the mineral water, stuffed a little soil into the mineral water bottle, and shook it quickly.
Pointing the bottle of mineral water at the sun, golden particles can be faintly seen under the black soil and sand.
"It's Sands! Quick, ready to be nailed! As if he had been beaten with chicken blood, the lame man took out a small bundle of combined rebar nails from his hiking bag.
The golden sand was like a powerful stimulant, and everyone was boiling with blood, and each pulled out of the bundle of rebar nails.
Five groups of steel nails are pulled up with ropes, and two people are responsible for one group of steel nails, pick up the folding shovel, and slap the back of the rebar nails.
"Sonorous sonorous ......"
With power, the efficiency is amazing, and after two or three clicks, the steel nail does not go in a large section.
After five or six sections, all five groups of steel nails touched a hard object, and each group was marked.
"Zuo Yun, Zhang Yu, it's time for your senior brothers to get out!" The lame man spoke.
After deciding on the tomb, the next step is to hit the robbery hole, Zuo Yun Zhang Yu nodded, and chose the center of the five poles.
The robbery hole is dug in pairs in turns, and when it is the turn of Zuoyun and Zhang Yu's brothers, the progress is obviously much faster.
After two rounds, I finally smelled the smell of copper and iron in the soil seven or eight meters underground, and in the soil turned out, the flickering golden particles gradually became more, and everyone was very excited.
"There's a slate here!" Zuo Yun shoveled a few more times and screamed.
Everyone suddenly got up and hurriedly chiseled open the slate, and the slate was cut into a hole that was not in the middle of winter.
"Tie the ropes, all go to the grave!" Qiu lame shouted, and the rope was put on the rebar nail under the previous one, and he slipped down first.
We followed the ropes pulled down by the lame mound, and one by one we went inside.
It was a tomb about two meters wide, and there was no light, and the lame man in front of him took out a flashlight from his bag to see some of the paths.
Immediately after that, I turned on the flashlight in my bag and shone it on the walls around me.
The entire tomb is made of one-foot-long, three-inch-tall blue bricks, and there are no potholes in the stone walls on both sides, which looks like a new tomb that has been built for several years.
"Damn, you won't be pitted, how does this feel like a new pit, not like an old pit?" I don't know who complained.
For a while, we were a little excited and handed a basin of cold water.
"This is not a new pit, it is an old pit, there are words on the wall here, not like simplified or traditional characters, at least the tombs before the Ming and Qing dynasties." Ling Sanzhi touched the wall and shook his head.
"Can you read what's written on the wall?" The cripple leaned over, and the light of the flashlight in his hand hit the wall.
Ling Sanzhi sighed and shook his head, "No, I can't see clearly, I haven't seen anything that I can see clearly." ”
"Old Man Qiu, then it doesn't matter, this should be the main tomb road, and you can get to the tomb by walking inside."
I stayed on the sidelines and didn't say a word, I had the feeling that something was terribly wrong, but I couldn't say anything about it.
Vaguely, the right eyelid jumped twice, and my hands and feet were a little cold.
"Seniors, be careful, I always feel that something is not quite right in the tomb."
