Chapter 5 The Ancient Tomb of Sifang Village

This story belongs to the second uncle and grandfather, and the second uncle's grandfather was the most capable in that generation, but because of that tomb and that secret, the second uncle and grandfather decided to live forever and never go to the tomb again, and the children in the family were not allowed to inherit this craft. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At that time, the second uncle and grandfather came to Sifang Village with the convoy, which was built in the early Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of the village, there were three surnames of Teng, Wang and Xu, and there were pedigrees. It is reported that the surname Xu is the earliest resident of Sifang Village, and his pedigree says: "The ancestors sent Yunnan, and Yongle of the Ming Dynasty settled in Wenfeng Society, Renhua Township, Jimo County, Shandong Province in the early years, and lived in the ...... after the wind and Ming Mountain".

The life of the second uncle and grandfather in the countryside began like this, in fact, there is not much farm work to do in ordinary times, and the main task is to reclaim the wasteland. Living in a simple cowshed, eating radish porridge, and having a few cents of vegetable money every month, such a life is really leisurely compared to being killed and executed. Because this village was far away from the central place at that time, the village was poor and dilapidated and had not yet begun to be developed, and most of the people in the village were eating the ancestral books, so basically no one came to check it, so that the life of the second uncle and grandfather was even more leisurely. At that time, there was a saying in the village that there was a demon river in the east of the village, and it was said that when it rained, something shiny appeared in the river, and there were bones that seemed to be something, and many adults and children in the village had seen it.

On this day, the second uncle and grandfather came to the river alone, and saw a big white butt from a distance, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a fat man peeing on the river. Looking at the fat man's dress, it is estimated that he is also an educated youth who came here. In fact, two days ago, the second uncle and grandfather came to the river and squatted on the small mound to observe, and judged that there must be a big tomb here according to the experience of the ancestors and the surrounding vegetation. Although the second uncle and grandfather basically belong to the northern faction of tomb robbery, he doesn't know anything about the southern faction at all, he loves to tinker with things and study books since he was a child, so some of the unique skills of the southern faction have been drummed out by him, plus he has experienced a few times with the elders before, it is not unusual.

Although the so-called "grass color mud marks" is only a short five words, its technical content is very rich, and it cannot be learned and mastered overnight. "Look at the grass color", is to observe the vegetation growth on the surface, if the nearby above-ground vegetation does not grow well, the grass color is yellow, you should pay attention, if there are ancient tombs underground, especially the tombs before the Qin and Han dynasties, this situation often occurs, this judgment is basically not doubtful. Because the groundwater level in the place where the ancient tomb is located is very low, it is difficult for groundwater and rainwater to seep into the tomb under normal circumstances, when the ancients buried the coffin, they did not use ordinary soil, but used dry charcoal, viscous white plaster mud, lime-based triple soil, from bottom to top, from the inside and outside, layer by layer covering, backfilling, and tamping. Moreover, the tomb used too much cinnabar, stone gall, realgar, alum stone, magnet, and stone and other toxic gold and stone things. The ancients often used these "poisonous stones" to refine elixirs, and people in the Wei and Jin dynasties and previous eras were particularly fond of taking them, called "Wushi San", which was elegantly said to be "elixir", and the "elixir" that Qin Shi Huang was looking for may also be this thing. After a long time, the toxins of these "poisonous stones" buried with the burial will also be dispersed to the surface with the gas, affecting the growth of vegetation on the surface, and even "burning" the vegetation to yellow, causing death. And the vicinity of the "demon river" in Sifang Village is in line with these judgments.

But now the second uncle and grandfather can be stumped, if you want to go to the tomb, you have to need tools, not to mention professional tools, even the tools that usually do basic farm work are not enough in Sifang Village, not to mention the Luoyang shovel, folding shovel, pickaxe, box cannon, waterproof searchlight, rebar pipe, saber or something self-defense weapons for the tomb, first of all, there is no way to do it with enough food. The second uncle and grandfather were pondering how to go to the tomb here, maybe the fat man saw that the second uncle and grandfather had not moved, so he came over to see what was going on.

"Brother, what are you looking at here?" The fat man said.

"I didn't look at anything, I watched the fish"

"You're funny, where are the fish in the river here? You won't also study that bone here, I see that you are also a knowledgeable youth, let me tell you, there is a big baby here, do you know? Boss, boss, big baby, if we can find it, we'll get rich, ahhahahaha" The fat man said loudly.

"It seems that this brother is an expert, what are you going to do, brother?" When the second uncle and grandfather heard it, they asked tentatively.

"Of course it's a tomb, it's not a melon if there's a tomb," the fat man said.

"But brother, do you have the equipment to go to the grave?" The second uncle and grandfather said.

"Hahaha, big brother, I won't tell you, I really have it, this village, I have relatives, I hide a lot of things here, oops, it's not good, why do you still say .........."

"Brother, don't worry, I also judge that there must be an ancient tomb here, or do you and I have a companion? , You have the tools, I have the technology, if you have a baby, you six and I four, do you think it's okay? The second uncle and grandfather said.

The fat man was also refreshing, "Okay, what I'm six and you four, don't talk about it, dig out the baby, let's divide it equally, hahaha, I've been studying this tomb for several days, since our brothers are fated, it's better to worship a brother "so that the tomb can rest assured, and each other can take care of each other." In this way, the fat man and the second uncle and grandfather worshiped their brothers, and made an appointment to set off into the ancient tomb in the morning three days later.

In the past, the northern faction was called Mojin Xiaowei, the southern faction was called Taojiaqiu, and the Changsha area was called Tufuzi. The captains of the gold school worked, and whenever the tomb was dug up, a candle would be lit in the underground palace of the tomb and placed in the southeast corner. Then open the coffin and touch the gold, the most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on the body, some of the tomb owners above the princely level, are all with beads in their mouths, covered with gold and jade, and there is a heart jade on their chests, and there is jade Ruyi in their hands, and even the ** is stuffed with gems. At this time, do not damage the remains of the deceased, lightly touch from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and finally leave one or two treasures for the deceased, in between, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, you must put back the property in your hand as it is, respectfully kowtow three heads, and return the way it came. The southern school is mainly bold and bold, and there is no taboo. The "Southern School" is known for its "ingenuity", such as stealing holes in front of the coffin or at the end of the coffin. The square-shaped robbery hole is created by the southern faction, and the tomb robbers are also particularly particular about the use of tools, such as the Luoyang shovel is invented by the southern tomb robbers, which is not only their tomb robbery use, but also their tomb robbery skills. Whether it is to find tombs or excavate tombs, the "Southern School" does not have much technical content, and simply relies on tools to excavate. In fact, whether it is the southern faction or the northern faction, the ultimate goal is to take out the treasures in the tomb, so later, few people in the faction are still abiding by the rules, and even the faction is not so clear, as for what the second uncle's grandfather found in the ancient tomb in Sifang Village later, and how he survived, he never told the second uncle, maybe he himself couldn't say clearly, and then when he got old, he couldn't remember anything, and this memory was sealed like this, but at this point, the story of the second uncle and grandfather has to continue to be told.
