In Huanglong County, in a densely forested mountain, Xiao Ling and Luo Ziyan's family are on their way.

According to the information in Luo Yi's hand, the land where the red sandalwood box came out is located in the south of Panshan Town, in Huanglong County, at the intersection of the north side of Hongmiaogou and the west side of the Jiumian kiln.

A group of four people first detoured to Yan'an, and after playing for two days, they rented a car and rushed to Panshan Town.

After that, we took a night in the town and went straight into the mountains the next day.

Unlike the surrounding loess slopes, which are crisscrossed by ravines, Huanglong is a thriving scene, with a forest coverage rate of more than 70 percent, like a piece of jade embedded in the northwest land.

Although the vegetation in this area is abundant, the altitude is not too high, and the terrain is gentle, so even if you walk through the dense forest, you can still eat for four people.

From Panshan Town all the way to the south, it only takes about four kilometers to reach the destination, and the GPS prepared by Luo Yi is relatively accurate, and in less than two hours, everyone saw a bulge similar to a step on the west side of the mountainside.

Luo Yi looked at the GPS in his hand again, pointed to the step-like bulge and said, "It should be there." ”

"Dad, aren't we really going to rob the tomb?" Luo Ziyan gasped slightly.

"Kid, you've seen too much tomb robbing!" Luo Yi said with a smile: "In the real tombs, how can there be such an exaggeration, there are very few imaginary super large tombs, usually a coffin is buried directly." However, the tombs of the rich are buried very deeply, and even if we are allowed to excavate, we will never be able to do it in a few months! ”

"Didn't I tell you earlier, let's just go over and see if we can find something like a tombstone, mainly to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb!" Zheng Keke wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "By the way, let me take you out and have zero contact with nature!" ”

"Uncle, your information is really accurate, you can even find out such a specific place!" Xiao Ling sighed.

"In these years, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is still no big problem with general things." Luo Yi snorted.

"This man doesn't know who it is, and how he buried his tomb in such a deep mountain!" Luo Ziyan muttered.

"We, the ancestors, pay attention to death as life, and there has always been a style of thick burial." Luo Yi explained: "Since it is a thick burial, of course the burial goods are more attractive. In order to prevent it from being stolen by others, of course, the more secret the repair, the better. ”

As he spoke, the ten-minute journey was quickly over, and what appeared in front of Xiao Ling and the others was a small piece of flat land with relatively sparse trees, about 100 square meters.

To everyone's surprise, the imaginary cemetery didn't even see a mound.

However, there are some broken stones looming among the weeds in this area.

"Are you sure the information is correct?" Zheng Keke glanced around, and said suspiciously: "There is not even a grave pile!" ”

"Exposure to the sun and rain, the years are deep, isn't this the result!" After Luo Yi casually answered, he said to Xiao Ling: "Let's go, go over and take a look." ”

Xiao Ling folded a branch from his side and took the lead, pulling the grass with the branch as he walked.

To the disappointment of the two, after turning around, they found no shadow of the tombstone except for some stones half-buried in the earth.

"Didn't the ancients have the habit of erecting monuments, how can there be no here?" Xiao Ling asked Luo Yi.

"It's not so absolute, some people may deliberately not stay!" Luo Yi glanced at the stones around him, and said slowly: "Judging from the distribution location of these stones, the largest vacancy should be Luo Quankou!" ”

"Luo Quankou, what do you mean?" Xiao Ling heard this word for the first time.

"Hehe, this is the local dialect of my hometown, usually those buildings surrounded by stones around the tomb are called Luo Quan, and Luo Quankou is the place to worship for future generations." Luo Yi explained with a smile: "The burial of the deceased is, generally with the feet rushing to the mouth of the Luo circle, and the corresponding position on the top of the head is the burial place of the tombstone!" For those graves that do not have a loop, the tombstone is erected directly on the grave. ”

"What do you mean, the tombstone is likely to be sold in the location directly opposite Luo Quankou?" Xiao Ling said.

"I'm not sure about that, but one thing shouldn't be wrong!" Luo Yi said.

Xiao Ling didn't answer, waiting for him to continue.

"Regardless of whether the owner of this tomb has erected a monument or not, the only place where a monument can be erected is this place!" Luo Yi said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll dig!" With that, Xiao Ling took out a portable pickaxe from his backpack and dug it up at the position with the largest gap.

Seeing this, Luo Yi was not idle, and went straight to the opposite position, and also moved.

Luo Ziyan's mother and daughter were bored, and they were busy looking around for a thief hole, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't find it, so the two had to gather around Xiao Ling and watch him dig the soil.

Xiao Ling moved extremely fast and had a lot of strength, and in a moment, he dug up that area, and then there was no tombstone, not even a decent stone.

The three of them were depressed, but Luo Yi on the opposite side heard a surprised voice: "Found it!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling was overjoyed and immediately ran over with Luo Ziyan's mother and daughter.

However, what Luo Yi dug out was not a tombstone, but a stone carving, and that thing was not big, about three centimeters wide, about fifty centimeters in length, and about five centimeters thick.

"This is a tombstone, it's clearly a stone carving!" Luo Ziyan said.

"Whatever it is, let's see the content first." After that, Luo Yi beckoned Xiao Ling and said, "Come on, let's get it out." ”

Xiao Ling smiled, motioned for Luo Yi to dodge, squatted down and lifted his hands lightly, then picked up the stone, and saw Luo Ziyan's mother and daughter on the side smacking their tongues.

Luo Yi didn't care, as soon as Xiao Ling stabilized, he immediately began to clear the soil on the stone carving, and within a moment, the entire stone carving was completely revealed.

As soon as he looked at the words on it, Xiao Ling frowned: "What kind of words are these, I can't understand them!" ”

"I don't know either." Luo Ziyan echoed.

"I don't know how many years this thing has been buried, not to mention that the stone is so well preserved, even the words on it are still so clear, almost the same as the newly carved ones!" Zheng Keke sighed.

"Maybe it's been buried here all along, untouched!" Luo Ziyan said.

Luo Yi didn't care about his wife and daughter's words, and only said to Xiao Ling with a smile: "This is the early Jin Wen, which began in Yin Shang, flourished in Zhou, and declined after Qin and Han. ”

"Looks, it's about the same as hieroglyphs!" Xiao Ling laughed at himself: "No wonder they know me, but I don't know them!" ”

"What did you say?" Zheng Keke frowned.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look first." With that, Luo Yi began to read the words on it carefully.

It took more than ten minutes for him to finally raise his head.

"What is said above is not directly related to the owner of the tomb itself, but to their entire family."

"Isn't that an epitaph?" Luo Ziyan said in surprise.

Luo Yi shook his head: "I have never seen this kind of epitaph, because its content has nothing to do with the owner of the tomb himself!" ”

"What's that?!" Luo Ziyan was anxious.

Looking at the monkey's anxious daughter, Luo Yi said with a smile: "My daughter's family, how can I be more anxious than a man!" I'll have to wait for Daddy to finish! ”
