Chapter 55

In addition, there are some sporadic records, all from the side to confirm the matter, this by the tomb robbers painstakingly built, hidden in the Shu "ancient tomb museum", which collects the ancient tombs of the past dynasties in the rare treasures, not only that, it is very likely that there are ancient hexagram secret weapons in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

So Professor Sun made a report and asked his superiors to approve him to organize an expert group to go to Sichuan to find "Dixian Village", but many people said that he was whimsical, and that "Guanshan Taibao" was nothing more than folklore. This is not in line with our working principles.

Every time he went on a business trip to Sichuan, he would always squeeze out time to go to the countryside and villages, and to inquire and investigate in many ways, but with the gradual in-depth contact, he found that the specific location of the "Guanshan Ancient Tomb" was nowhere to be found.

It is said that the "touching gold school captain" who dominates the traditional Chinese industry is good at "searching for dragons and mountains, dividing gold and setting acupoints", and the way of "looking at the mountains and pointing to the mystery" of the Guanshan Taibao is also out of the ancient art handed down by the generation of "hair mound touching gold" in the Later Han Dynasty, and the mastery of Qingwu Kanyu is unfathomable, and the "Guanshan Taibao" is a master in the tomb robbery line, and the anti-theft means of the mausoleum they built are certainly not imaginable by ordinary people, and even people can't even find the exact location, maybe even if it takes thousands of years, the mystery of the "ancient mound of the earth immortals", It's still just a folklore.

Professor Sun in order to find the "Dixian City" this ancient tomb museum, quite a lot of hard work, but in the end but nothing, he will these years from the folk to collect and sort out, about the Ming Dynasty tomb robber "Guanshan Taibao" information, all recorded in this work notebook, in the end is a little frustrated.

However, in the process of studying the "Guanshan Taibao", he learned a lot of secrets about ancient tomb robbery activities from the countryside and various historical materials, and knew that there were no immortal people in this world since ancient times, and there were no graves, as long as it was an ancient tomb, sooner or later there would be a day when the tomb robbers were excavated, and the art of tomb robbery was nothing more than "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting".

"Wang" refers to watching the feng shui situation, and determining the location and layout of the ancient tomb by "looking at the stars from above and examining the leylines from below", which requires insight into the pulse of mountains, rivers, and the sun, moon and stars. In addition, this method of "looking at the tomb" can also observe the difference between "surface, soil, and vegetation" to find the tomb, also known as "looking at mud marks and distinguishing the color of grass".

The word "smell" can also be divided into two methods, there is a person with extraordinary talent, extremely keen sense of smell, can distinguish the special breath in the deep mountains and old forests through the nose; "Smell" also refers to the keen ear sound of tomb robbers, and when you practice to the realm of "chickens serving the morning and dogs keeping vigil at night", you can infer the situation underground by listening to the sounds of nature.

It is said that the word "ask" is to "consult" with the local people to understand the information and location of the ancient tomb from the side, and when you are lucky, you will have unexpected effects; It is said that ancient tomb robbers can determine the structure of the ancient tomb and the good luck and evil in the tomb through divination, but this technique has been extinct a long time ago, and no one understands it anymore.

Finally, there is the word "cut", mainly the various methods of tomb robbers to dig ancient tombs, how to "avoid the real and the virtual" use various tools to dig the robbery hole, there are gold points, straight to the middle palace, there are also long hoes and shovels of the collapse of the mountain to reveal the zenith, and there are more "cave armor" to drive away beasts.

Professor Sun knows that he knows, but this "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting" technique is mostly passed down for thousands of years, and these things may be heard by the people, but if you really want to learn these skills, it is completely impossible to master them if you don't teach them truthfully, not to mention that most of the tomb robbery techniques have been lost for a long time.

It is said that to this point, it is almost time to die, but Sun Xuewu has a paranoid personality and is particularly persistent in the things he recognizes, he "does not die until he reaches the Yellow River, and he does not cry when he does not see the coffin", and he still wants to find the "earth immortal" without black and white, and wants to spy on the ancient hexagram hidden in the "Xuanji Tower".

Maybe it's really "Huang Tian pays off", Professor Sun in the process of sorting out ancient books, accidentally learned a secret history, in the period of King Mu of Zhou, there was a statue of the South China Sea dragon fire forged ancient Ding, there are hexagram mirror hexagram charms on the tripod, the ancient Ding comes from the ruins, its material is a rare artifact in the bronze, due to the condensation of the sea gas in the Ding, its copper has lasted for thousands of years without loss, the older the copper color of the dark green is.

The hexagram and hexagram mirror inlaid on the ancient tripod are the essence of the candle performance hexagram in the Western Zhou Dynasty, you can use the sea gas contained in the bronze to deduce the funeral image, the ancient people were superstitious in the feng shui in the "situation rational qi", which is the most important thing is the "qi", that is, the so-called "vitality" in the dragon vein, the "mirage" vision on the sea, most of them are born due to the changes of the sea and air, and the sea air in the ruins is the "dragon vein and dragon gas", any piece of fragment on the ancient tripod of the ancient ruins can turn the ordinary tomb into a "feng shui treasure land of vitality condensation" , and the hexagram mirror on the tripod can be used to peek at and deduce the location of the ancient tomb.

Professor Sun did not believe that there was really a "Guiru Ancient Ding" at first, but after a little research along the vine, he knew that this matter was not groundless, but this tripod was buried with King Zhou Mu as a burial object, and later when the tomb of King Zhou Mu was dug up, it was found that the copper tripod had been shattered by lightning, and the hexagram mirror and four ancient talismans were taken away and scattered in all directions.

In history, the tomb robbers "ask the heavens to divinate the hexagram" to find the legend of the ancient tomb treasure, it is likely to come from the "Guixu Guding", it is said that the Guixu hexagram mirror on the machine refutes the mysteries, through the guidance of the hexagram, it can be according to the surrounding vitality and dispersion changes to present different hexagrams, Professor Sun knows that the Zhou Tian hexagram, a total of 16, the ancient Ding only "dragon, ghost, human, fish" four, specifically for the observation of yin and yang air cavitation, want to crack the Western Zhou Dynasty dragon bone hexagram although it is not practical, but this is an important breakthrough, With his decades of painstaking study of the accumulation of ancient ciphertext symbols, he is still a little sure that he can interpret the hexagrams presented by the four hexagrams, as long as there is this bronze mirror with infinite mysteries, there may be a chance to find the "Earth Immortal City".

But up to this time, these ideas are only a "pavilion in the sky" in Professor Sun's mind, after the ruins of the ancient tripod were broken, the copper tripod was melted and recast into a Dan furnace, and the hexagram mirror is missing, they are all "feng shui secret weapons" in the eyes of the ancients, God knows whether it was taken by the tomb owner who knew the goods to sleep underground, Professor Sun has no wealth and no power, only by himself, want to collect them again, how easy it is to say.

Two years ago, Professor Sun went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia, and when he stayed overnight, a herdsman talked to him about a very strange thing, when the Inner Mongolia grassland had been seriously desertified, but there was a piece of green grass on the sandy grassland that was extraordinarily luxuriant, and it looked like a green meadow from a distance, the area was not very large, about dozens of meters in range.

There are many weasels hidden in this meadow, in groups in and out, the demeanor is extremely sneaky, the local herdsmen rarely saw weasels in the past, thinking that this omen is ominous, they met with a large number of herding dog hunting rifles to kill, the herding dogs on the grassland are the best at catching gophers, catching weasels is not inferior, less than a day's effort, it bites to death hundreds of weasels of all sizes, and the corpses are messily placed all over the place.

After the clean-up, the herdsmen began to peel the weasel skin, and some people set fire to the grass, one of them saw that there was a bronze dragon-shaped artifact in the soil nest inside, which did not look worth anything, and did not know that it was an antiquity, so he hung it on the mount as an ornament, and wanted to go to the flag in a few days to catch up with the market, and take it to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange some paper cigarettes.

Professor Sun is a person with a heart, hearing the news, without saying a word, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives overnight to buy a cigarette, asked the herdsman who picked up the eyeless dragon talisman, and exchanged it back without waste, secretly collected it, and the first hexagram talisman was obtained by his blind cat like a dead mouse.

Since then, Professor Sun has been more concerned about the matter of the ancient hexagram mirror, but there has been no whereabouts of the remaining secret weapons, until not long ago there were some eyebrows, it turned out that the "hexagram mirror" had already flowed abroad at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in a smuggling journey, with the ship sunk into the sea, Sun Xuewu knew that his old friend Professor Chen had overseas relations, so he made up a lie, telling Professor Chen that it was one of the eight mirrors of King Qin, the "King Qin Bone Mirror", which was a priceless national treasure, and asked Professor Chen to find a way to find someone to salvage it.

The back of the hexagram mirror is densely packed with symbols, very fine and complex, the collector is worried about being worn, and in addition, in order to make the sea gas in the bronze mirror condense for a long time, it is sealed and stored with fire paint. ”

Sun Xuewu knew that the wreck was in the vast sea, not easy to salvage, he used Professor Chen's relationship to salvage the ruins of the hexagram mirror, but also saved the idea of "planning things in people, success is in the sky", did not have much hope, I didn't expect to really retrieve the ancient mirror intact from the South China Sea, it was a surprise, after getting the hand did not hand it over, but secretly hid at home, secretly analyzed the hexagram on the back of the mirror, Professor Chen delayed a lot of work during the treatment in the United States, and was always busy after returning to China, and he was convinced of his old friend, He willingly gave Sun Xuewu the credit for finding the national treasure, and never asked him if he had donated the national treasure, let alone that the ancient mirror of the South China Sea was not the "King of Qin's bone mirror" at all.

The bronze fish in the four ancient talismans, which lasted thousands of years, is still embedded in the ancient mirror and has not been separated, Sun Xuewu did not even dream that the two talismans and one mirror have arrived in their hands, and it seems that they should be "not screaming, a blockbuster", now there is only one person and one ghost two bronze talismans, these things are all together, you can enter the Sichuan to open the ancient tomb of Guanshan, the secret of the number of Zhou Tian hexagrams seems to be close at hand.

Professor Sun recently learned that before the liberation someone bought a batch of cultural relics from the hands of Hunan tomb robbers, in the folk for many years, fortunately not mutilated and lost, not long ago donated by patriotic overseas Chinese, is currently touring all over the country, including the Dan furnace recast by the ancient Ding of Guixu, and two other bronze hexagrams, and when casting the Dan furnace, the ancient Ding from the tomb of King Mu of Zhou unearthed process, as well as the original shape of the tripod body, one by one cast on the Dan furnace into a graphic record.

Professor Sun happened to be back in Beijing at that time, and when he saw that these antiquities were on display in Tianjin, he couldn't bear it anymore, he was already withdrawn, and he didn't even ask for leave, so he rushed to the museum to see what was going on, but how could he enjoy it when he was far away from the exhibition room of the museum? And he didn't want anyone to know that he had been studying Guixu Guding for many years, so he couldn't contact him through formal channels, so he simply slipped into the museum in the middle of the night and copied the inscriptions and graphics on the Dan furnace, hoping to get a glimpse of the use of "hexagram charms and hexagram mirrors".

The last few pages of the notebook are all inscriptions and patterns on the Dan furnace, but only half of them are cut off, and there is no further content in this notebook that records Professor Sun's secrets.

Thinking that I happened to bump into him at that time, Professor Sun fled the museum in a hurry for fear of revealing his identity, but he left his most important notebook at the scene.

After reading it, I closed the work notebook, snorted coldly, and scolded: "This old boy usually pretends to be serious, but in fact, the whole thing is a dark backstage, hidden deeper than the Guanshan Taibao, it's really a fucking old traitor, he actually used Hu Ye as a gun, I have never let people play like this in my life, and walked back and forth with his head in the stormy seas, and almost lost his life in the South China Sea. But he can hide his fart, but he can't hide the smell, and when the conspiracy to cover the sky with one hand is finally revealed, now that I know the truth, I will definitely let him walk around without eating. ”

Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, I don't think this matter is necessarily so simple, I'm afraid there is still a hidden secret." ”

I pointed to the notebook and said to Shirley Yang: "Now that the facts are there, there is no need to find Professor Chen to confront him face-to-face, as long as this work record is brought to him, he will not dare not tell the truth, what else can he hide?" ”

Shirley Yang said: "Professor Sun has not been smooth in his career, he secretly studied the hexagram mirror hexagram, most of it is a helpless move, I am afraid that he just does not want others to interfere with his research results, in addition to the antiquities on display in the museum are all antiquities, although you and I did not know about this matter, but Professor Sun should have known for a long time, he took advantage of the late night no one, sneaked into the museum to see the fakes, it seems that it is not a big deal, the bronze man and the bronze ghost two real ancient talismans, have been stored in the warehouse by the cultural relics department, I think that even a scholar of Professor Sun's status would have difficulty accessing those national treasures without formal authorization, and the idea of using four talismans and one mirror to explore Dixian Village would not be realized after all, and sooner or later he would return the bronze mirror and bronze talisman in his hand to Zhao. ”
