Chapter Seventy-Four: Darkness Under the Light
Although Feng Weiguo saw a general idea, he still didn't understand what the specific place was, so he asked Zhang Gong: "Zhang Gong, this is a hexagram, what does it represent?" ”
Zhang Gong took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Actually, what this hexagram tells us is 'dark under the lamp!'" ’”
Hearing Zhang Gong say this, not to mention Feng Weiguo was taken aback, even the experienced Professor Chen was also very surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Lao Zhang, how do you say this?" ”
"This is a hexagram in a hexagram, the first meaning is simply to get lost, implying that we have come back after turning around randomly, and the second meaning is to directly tell us that 'it is dark under the light'."
Feng Weiguo asked puzzledly: "Since it is said to be 'dark under the lamp,' then where exactly does this place refer to?" ”
Zhang Gong smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "It's nothing more than two places, you will know in a few days!" ”
After saying that, after Zhang Gong tore up the drawings and put them in his pocket, he asked Feng Weiguo to call the other two waiting deputy curators and asked them to lock the golden dragon into the drawer where the copper box was placed.
After solving the problem of the treasure map, as soon as everyone was happy, Feng Weiguo took a few of them to the cafeteria, and the dinner that was originally going to be eaten in the office was temporarily changed to a sumptuous dinner party with a lot of food and drink.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, the overtime cook had already prepared three simple dishes, and at Feng Weiguo's request, he continued to be busy.
Feng Weiguo took two bottles of wine out of nowhere, and after filling all the cups in front of the five people, Feng Weiguo stood and said, "Professor Chen, Zhang Gong, today I can be regarded as an eye-opener!" Without saying anything, I'll salute you first! ”
After drinking the first glass of wine, Feng Weiguo sat down and continued to say to the two deputy curators beside him: "You two don't know the Taoism of Professor Chen and Zhang Gong, the ancient tomb almost knows the approximate situation at a glance, Zhang Gong knows where it is when he counts the hexagram, look at the cooperation of others, it is too amazing and tacit." ”
A deputy curator wearing glasses immediately took over the topic and said: "Oh, a few days ago, I heard that Professor Chen roughly judged the entrance to the ancient tomb when he arrived at the foot of Gadfly Mountain, and I thought it was very amazing at the time, but then I heard that Professor Chen is distinguished by vegetation density and color and feng shui, so I admire it even more, not for anything else, but for Professor Chen's carefulness; Zhang Gong is even more magical, it is said that two days ago in the cave where you are now working, he detected several positions through metal detectors, people can judge the location of the coffin and burial goods, but also calculated that the official position of the tomb owner is not high and depressed, these are not acceptable. ”
Zhang Gong heard that he was rumored to be so magical, coupled with the foreshadowing of wine, he said in a low-key manner: "You really don't praise me, my acquired gossip and Qimen Dunjia are just scratching the surface, we can't play too deeply, now that science and technology are developed, some people use what software to engage in this gossip and Qimen Dunjia, but they can't, the hexagram is alive, the software is dead, according to the ones they play, then we must be their masters, but there are many folk masters, I am far from the real masters." ”
"Now there are a lot of people who study "Zhou Yi", but they really use the so-called superstitious set before, look at feng shui, calculate the past and measure tomorrow, they don't have you these two times, our neighbor still blows what he has seen how amazing the master of Qimen Dunjia, said that everything that happened to him before is very accurate, I don't know too much about those, I think those good things inherited in ancient times cannot be abandoned or deified by later generations, the founder of "Zhou Yi" is not Mr. Feng Shui, let alone fortune telling, It's sad that such a miraculous thing has been so absurd so-called research by later generations. ”
"Hehe, don't sigh, this is a product of the progress of the times, whether it is metaphysics or mathematics, the wisdom of the ancients is still not understood by many people today, what are we doing in archaeology, isn't it just to find a way to get close to the past, understand the past, and tell the world about the past? Just like charlatans, some people are wary of them at first, but they are curious, as long as they are curious and contacted, those liars have a real chance, and as soon as all kinds of discourse and pseudoscience appear, they will be fooled, so don't blame those social diseases. ”
Feng Weiguo saw that Zhang Gong had a good chat with them, Curator Feng, so he leaned towards Professor Chen and asked in a low voice: "Professor, what could be in that 'dark under the lamp'?" ”
When Professor Chen heard that Feng Weiguo asked this when there were two deputy curators present, his brows furrowed, and he hinted softly: "'It's dark under the lamp' means that you can't turn on the light to see, and now the light is too bright." ”
Feng Weiguo was not stupid, he knew that Professor Chen was referring to the inappropriate occasion, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "Professor, what do you say will happen in our hometown?" I've been thinking about it for so many years. ”
"With today's technology, the underground maze in your hometown is very easy to solve, whether it is with ground penetrating radar or a three-dimensional imager, you can see the Tao inside; But in the labyrinth you said, you must have missed something, there must be a mystery there, otherwise there is no reason to build that one under a good town, and the whole town will be abandoned after the construction is completed, which doesn't make sense. ”
"So, the people of that town didn't disappear for no reason, did they?"
"Well, in ancient times, if you were doing some hidden projects, there would usually be bloody scenes."
"Professor, you mean that the town was abandoned because it was all slaughtered?"
"It's very likely, the biggest possibility is to use some people there to participate in the construction of the secret project first, and then slaughter all of them when the construction is almost there, and then release rumors about the plague and so on, so that people believe that all the people there died because of the plague, so that outsiders do not suspect that the people who disappeared inexplicably were killed, and so that outsiders dare not approach."
"And what might be down there?"
"The possibility of an underground stronghold or ancient tomb of some kind of cult is on the large side."
Feng Weiguo was about to ask how the ancient tomb could be built at that time, when Professor Chen's phone rang, and Sun Ju called.
"Hey, Sun Ju, what's the instruction?"
"Haha, how dare I instruct you, report to you the situation, the ghost next to you is already in force, but we didn't catch him, we use him to fish, you alone know about it, how to work and how to work."
"Okay, thank you then, I'll eat first."
After hanging up the phone, Professor Chen continued to say to Feng Weiguo: "It is impossible to say that there is nothing below in your hometown, according to your information, the following will still be inhabited, and it has perfect sewage and drainage functions, which shows that the construction at that time was to meet the living conditions, from which it can be confirmed that it is worth visiting!" ”
