Chapter 11 The North is Less Idle

The most fascinating treasure in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is that the pearl of Suihou and the bi of Bian and Bian are all treasures, so they are easy to say.

As for He's Bi because there are a lot of rumors, so everyone knows, even children can tell the allusions of returning to Zhao, but with Hou Zhu is little known, the description of Sui Hou Zhu in the ancient book is more detailed, the pearl is full of inch, pure white, and the night is bright, such as the light of the moon, can be candle room, so it is called with Hou Zhu, and it is called the bright moon pearl.

But what is missing is often more precious, this may be the truth that rare is precious, no matter how valuable the easy-going double treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States are, I think what really makes these two antiquities valuable is because of the reason that they cannot be recovered.

Needless to mention, the treasures that King Qin was willing to exchange for fifteen cities can be imagined, but unfortunately He's Bi was annihilated in the long river of history, and no one knows its whereabouts.

Suihou Zhu was taken by King Wu of Chu after attacking Suihou, but Chu was destroyed by Qin soon after, and Qin Shi Huang owned Suihou Zhu and He's Bi.

This can be verified from the literature, and this can be fully confirmed in Li Si's popular "Book of Exhortations to the Guest".

It is mentioned in the book: The jade of Kunshan is the treasure of easy-going and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon......

It is rumored that Hou Zhu was buried with Qin Shi Huang and was buried in the tomb instead of anointing candles.

Gong Jue and I glanced at each other, and Gong Jue said that if the clues recorded on the note in the Chongming Ring were true, then this rumor would be completely overturned, and even going back further, the Suihou Zhu that Qin Shi Huang got was very likely to be fake.

If the clues that reappeared with Hou Zhu were known to Ye Zhiqiu, she would definitely haunt me all her life, and she couldn't let her come out to make trouble at this juncture.

I hesitated to compare an inch of distance between the two fingers, this is the size of Suihou Zhu in the record, according to the description, Suihou Zhu is likely to be a night pearl, but the problem is that in the Sifang pawnshop over the years, although I have not participated in the tomb robbery organized by Ye Jiuqing, I have seen countless antique treasures.

Don't talk about the one-inch size of the Night Pearl, no matter how big it is, I've seen it, it's not a rare thing, and Ye Jiuqing won't take a second look.

The great effort to hide an ordinary night pearl is estimated to be related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, which shows that the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace had traces of existence as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Early the next morning, Gong Jue and I immediately set off to Luoyang, Bishan is also known as Beibi Mountain, located in the north of Luoyang City, Henan Province, on the south bank of the Yellow River, is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, the branch vein of the Kuoshan Mountain, hundreds of miles from east to west Hengdan.

The mountain in the north is stretching, such as the giant dragon horizontally, the momentum is majestic, the south overlooks the Yi and Luo two rivers flow slowly from west to east, the north looks at the Yellow River like a belt, stretches for thousands of miles, this place is called the pillow mountain and the river in the feng shui.

Therefore, Beibi Mountain has always been regarded as a feng shui treasure of funeral mounds, and the leylines are unique to the dragon, and all have always been born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and buried in Beipi.

I and Gong Jue rushed to Luoyang Beibi Mountain at noon three days later, climbed the main peak of Beipi Cuiyun Peak, the trees on the peak are lush and green, as far as the eye can see, the mountain is full of hundreds of thousands of ancient tombs of all sizes and sizes, hundreds of tall and majestic ancient tombs, dotted on the soil ridge of the mountain, the forest is magnificent.

I squatted down and picked up a handful of soil from the ground and rubbed it in my hands, the soil was hard and dense, the bonding was just right, and more than ten meters below the surface of the Beibi Mountains were such soil layers, it was basically difficult for water to penetrate and it was extremely easy to dig, it was simply a unique burial place.

I looked around thoughtfully and said to the palace lord, the tomb on the north rose in the Eastern Han Dynasty, according to the clues we got in the Chongming ring, Suihou Zhu was hidden here, and the Sui Hou Zhu disappeared at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and there were more than 400 years from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I didn't see the palace lord answer for a long time, and when I looked up, I saw that his eyes had been staring at a few people not far behind us, I turned my head to look over, and saw those people holding a compass in their hands, looking at the posture should be looking at feng shui.

Presumably, the feng shui master who chose the cemetery here, after a few more glances, he immediately understood why the palace lord paid so much attention, the compass in the hand of this feng shui master was reversed, but he looked around with all his attention, and he never looked at the compass from beginning to end, and followed the people next to him from time to time squatting down and rubbing the soil on the ground.

I and the palace lord glanced at each other, to the north of the mountain to explore the tomb of the people are not the only us, stood up and walked a few steps ahead, surprised to find that the mountain is full of such people, a few ragged beggars, pestle with bamboo poles and broken bowls wandering in the mountains, if you meet come to worship and sweep the tomb, want to accumulate virtue for the ancestors, how much will send some money.

The beggars looked around with roe deer eyes and thief eyes, and after walking a few steps, they stopped, as if they were resting, and the bamboo poles in their hands were randomly inserted into the ground, and when they walked further, the bamboo poles they lifted were attached to the soil.

I frowned, and when these beggars walked past us, I stopped them, and I took out a piece of money from my body, and the beggar was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded and thanked them, and I put the money over and watched them go away.

"Today, this Beibi Mountain is really lively, and there are so many earth rats at once." I said to the palace lord.

"It should have been someone who looked at feng shui before." The palace lord nodded and looked at the backs of the beggars in the distance and asked. "They're too?"

I nodded, I gave the beggar a five-yuan pen and paper, it was not a small amount of money at the time, I didn't even look at it, and the lower end of the bamboo pole in their hands was split, the soil layer on the north side is easy to penetrate, the bamboo pole inserted into the ground and brought out of the soil can distinguish the location of the tomb, the role of the bamboo pole and the Luoyang shovel have the same effect, when I gave them money, intentionally or unintentionally touched their palms, and I knew what was left with my eyes closed.

The general has beaten me for ten years, and he has the same calluses on his palms, which are traces of long-term grave digging.

"Although there is little idle land on the north of the mountain, and there are all the old tombs of the Luoyang people, but the ten tombs in the north are empty, even the tomb robbers will not be interested in this place." Gong Jue lowered his voice and said calmly. "Why are there so many grave robbers all of a sudden?"

"There is no shortage of big tombs on Beibi Mountain, and there are more than a dozen places that can be named, but these people are obviously not coming for the big tomb, they seem to be visiting the tomb." I patted the dirt on my hands and replied worriedly. "It's not a good thing that so many earth rats gather in the north......"

"You mean it's the same as our purpose?" Gong Jue asked with some vigilance.

"It's not clear, but it's very strange, these tomb robbers have arrived before us, and I'm worried that if the news is leaked, it will be a big trouble."

"The clues on the Chongming Ring mention the place where the Xuanwu seal was hidden in the north with Hou Zhu." The palace lord walked up to me and said seriously. "You're good at visiting the tomb, what does the Xuanwu hanging seal mean?"

I shook my head and signaled to go down the mountain first, Luoyang is not Chengdu, this is not Ye Jiuqing's territory, you can do whatever you want, before coming, Ye Jiuqing also specially told you that when you arrive in Luoyang, you must understand the rules, and you have to visit Chen Wen first.

He is the head of the mouse in this area of Luoyang, and Beibi Mountain also belongs to Chen Wen's land, those who just met to see feng shui or ask for food, listening to the accent are not locals, so many foreign tomb robbers are blatantly exploring the tomb in Beibi Mountain, presumably they must have informed Chen Wen.

"This hill is almost full of disguised tomb robbers, even if we have clues, most of the people who visit the tomb without permission will be discovered, in case Chen Wen investigates it, the two of us will be picked on the tendons." I said to the palace lord.

"With so many tomb robbers suddenly appearing here, doesn't Chen Wen feel that something is wrong?" The palace lord was a little worried, looked around and said.

"He doesn't care about these, there are ten tombs and nine empty tombs on Beibi Mountain, and he can't dig up any famous halls, not to mention those people before, all of them are veterans of tomb visits, it is impossible not to understand the rules, he should have informed Chen Wen, but this movement is inevitably a little too big, it seems that something is wrong." I replied disapprenanently. "Going to visit Chen Wen is a courtesy, and secondly, maybe I can hear some news from him."
