The woman turned around Lu Qiao's mausoleum and walked forward, we followed behind us blankly, and continued all the way to the west, getting more and more barren, I couldn't help but stepped forward to stop her.

"Who the hell are you, you have to tell us a name."

"Ling Zhihan."

"Ling? Are you from the Gusu Ling family? Gong Jue asked.

Ling Zhihan nodded, and Tian Ji asked with a humble face: "Didn't your Ling family say that you wouldn't rob tombs, how could you help us?" ”

"The Ling family has been building for hundreds of years, I don't want to hand it over to me, so you smashed the lintel and steps of the Ling family." Ling Zhihan looked at me as she said this.

Ling Ran ...... Who are you, Ling Ran? "I was stunned, I said this in Yinxiang Zuiyue Building, it seems that Ling Zhihan was also there at that time, but he didn't come out.

"Father."

...... "The three of us looked at each other, and I didn't understand it for a long time, so I asked in surprise." The ancestor of the Ling family can't rob the tomb, although you didn't rob the tomb, but you help us, it's ...... In your words, it can be regarded as aiding and abusive, your father has no choice but to abolish his clan registration, it stands to reason that he is not a member of the Ling family now, it doesn't matter if he helps us, why did he let you come? ”

"My dad had no choice but to make this decision, since he is not a member of the Ling family, he can't use the Ling family's feng shui secret technique, he abolished the clan for me, not to mention that I didn't help the abuse, I only look at feng shui, not to mention anything else." Ling Ran replied.

I suddenly realized that Ling Ran asked her daughter Ling Zhihan to help us, but in order to protect Ling Zhihan, he accepted it on his behalf and expelled himself from the ancestral hall so that Ling Zhihan would not be implicated.

"What kind of trouble is your Ling family going through, so reluctant to get involved with us?" Tian Ji asked Ling Zhihan with a smile.

"The affairs of the Ling family have nothing to do with you, in short, I only look at feng shui, I don't care if I can find what you want." Ling Zhihan replied with a solemn expression.

"Why don't you just visit a tomb, as for that, let's talk about it now, it's a grasshopper on a stick, don't expect you to take care of each other, at least we have to be in the same boat." I shook my head and looked at Ling Zhihan with a wry smile. "Lu Qiao is from Suzhou, your Ling family has been in Suzhou for generations, you should know about this person, is the place you took us to be related to Lu Qiao's burial place?"

"Lu Qiao's ancestral home is in Tiger Hill, he was buried by the scenery after his death, Lu Qiao is a eunuch can not enter the ancestral hall after his death, if he wants to return to the roots, he must be buried near the ancestral mountain, but the mausoleum area given by Sizong does not talk about feng shui, and Lu Qiao's ancestral home is located, so it is impossible for Lu Qiao to be buried in it anyway." Ling Zhihan replied calmly as he walked.

"Where is Lu Qiao buried?" Tian Ji asked.

Ling Zhihan in front of him didn't make a sound, and Gong Jue pulled Tian Ji back with a smile: "Don't force people, if she tells you, the Ling family will have one less person." ”

At dusk, Ling Zhihan stopped on a hillside, in the lower fields, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the rice fields, and the golden rice grains rose and fell like waves in the wind.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, a bay stream passes through the middle of the rice fields, I see Ling Zhihan stopping, presumably this is where Lu Qiao's ancestral home is, but after hundreds of years of changes, except for the endless undulating rice fields, nothing can be seen.

"This hillside under our feet, although the terrain is not high, can be seen from a distance like the back of a turtle, if it is a case mountain, it is the turtle's back in the feng shui of the Vermilion Bird, which is called the Taiyin Hill in the public opinion, and the Tibetan wind gathers qi and will live long in the future." Ling Zhihan pointed to the place where we were standing.

Then he raised his hand and let us look at the undulating mountains opposite, which were two Zeyuan hills, one large and one small.

"The ups and downs of these two mountains are like the official hats of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, this is called the Shamao Mountain, there is an official hat in front, and there is a turtle's back in the back, and the ancestors buried this is unspeakably expensive." Ling Zhihan continued.

"Look at the ...... on both sides"

"On both sides, the two mountains of green dragons and white tigers, the mountains are stacked and green, and the ridges of the mountains are very neat, just like the strings of the guzheng are arranged neatly." I took Ling Zhihan's words, although I didn't dare to get an axe in front of her with feng shui attainments, I was still amazed to see such a good feng shui. "This is a rare rolling shutter case pattern, also known as the noble pressure of thousands of officials, and the generals will enter the phase!"

"You also know Feng Shui?" Ling Zhihan looked at me in some surprise.

"This is a long story, in the final analysis, the feng shui I know should also be your Ling family." I replied with a faint smile.

"That's right, here is the Gui Pressure Thousand Officials Bureau, the former noble officials here are Fu Zhong, the back of the Guigui turtle is round and abundant, there is a green dragon Fuqin platform on the left, there is a white tiger pressing a thousand officials on the right, the dragon is high and the tiger is in the middle of the four rivers to return to the court, the vast screen of the Ming Hall is a horse, and the best feng shui treasure land within a radius of fifty miles is here." Ling Ran nodded and accentuated his voice. "It just so happens that Lu Qiao's ancestral home is nearby."

The three of us looked at each other, of course we understood what Ling Zhihan meant, she had words first, only looking at feng shui and not saying anything else, she was hinting to us, since this is the best feng shui treasure land for thousands of officials, it also coincides with Lu Qiao's identity, he was the power of the government and the opposition during his lifetime, and he must want to continue the scenery in the next life after his death, this is his ancestral hometown, if Lu Qiao is buried, it must be here.

"Right here?" Tian Ji looked up at the endless rice fields. "With such a big land, who knows where it will be buried, you can't explore it next to each other, then you have to explore it to what year and month."

"There is a saying in Feng Shui, three years to find a dragon, ten years to point points, you can see the difficulty of points." I took a deep breath and smiled helplessly. "That's what people say, and we have to do the rest ourselves."

Although I said this in my mouth, I still had to admire Ling Zhihan in my heart, three years of searching for dragons, but she only took less than half a day, the Ling family's feng shui mystics seem to be really extraordinary, needless to say, with Ling Zhihan's attainments and skills, where Lu Qiao is buried, she must know it now.

It's a pity not to expect her to tell us obediently, this rice field is in the middle of the noble pressure of thousands of officials, Lu Qiao's tomb should be somewhere here, I squatted on the ground to check the soil, the rice field here has been dug many times, it can be seen that Lu Qiao's tomb must be buried deep below, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago.

Moreover, Lu Qiao was in a high position before his death, and at that time, the eunuchs were in power and the opposition, and they all had the habit of purchasing a tomb temple, and the meaning of the tomb temple was to choose a place with beautiful scenery, build a mausoleum first, and then build a temple. The eunuch served the Buddha here to recuperate during his lifetime, and was buried here after his death.

But Lu Qiao didn't seal it, it can be seen that he didn't want others to find his mausoleum, this is a secret burial, and it is even more troublesome to find.

"Anyway, it's night, the three of us are separated, and we will make a straight hole at a distance of five meters, just use a stupid method, if you can't come back tonight and tomorrow night, you can find a place sooner or later." Tian Ji took out a probe shovel and said to us.

"You can only use this method for one day, we dig so many holes in the ground tonight, and we will be discovered tomorrow, not to mention that this is a rice field, and the water will seep down with the shovel, and the soil on the shovel will not be brought up." Gong Jue shook his head and said.

"It's not so troublesome, climb the mountain to see the water mouth, enter the cave to see the Ming Hall, Lu Qiao has chosen to take a fancy to this piece of Feng Shui Bureau that oppresses thousands of officials, the most important thing is in this press, if you want to suppress it, you have to sit firmly, sit on the wrong side of who he presses, if you want to press thousands of officials, Lu Qiao has to sit in Mingtang, and his tomb must be in the center of Mingtang." After speaking, I glanced back at Ling Zhihan and asked playfully. "Yo, I forgot that there is a master next to me, you give me some pointers, I'm right."

"I see that your feng shui attainments are not low, you have such skills, if you devote yourself to studying feng shui, you will definitely make a difference in the future, why do you have to go to rob tombs?" Ling Zhihan was noncommittal, and asked with some regret.

"You really asked me this, your father also asked my shopkeeper like this, he didn't want to sweep your father's face, so he didn't answer, today I help him say, this is called everyone has their own ambitions, I don't have the life of a local teacher, but I really have the ability to dig up the dead." I smiled triumphantly and patted the palace lord and Tian Ji. "Let's go, let's go and see what the eunuch's tomb looks like."

Walking to the middle of the rice field, I found that it was a deserted clearing, on which discarded agricultural tools were discarded, and it was incompatible with the dense and vigorous rice fields around it.

I squatted on the ground and picked up a piece of soil, rubbed it in my hand and found it black.

"The black soil is good, you see that the northeast is full of black soil, how well the crops grow." Tian Ji squatted down and looked at the soil in my hand and said. "This land is not small, why is it so barren?"

"Where did the black soil come from in Gusu, not to mention that if you look at the rice fields around, the soil quality is completely different from here." Gong Jue squatted down carefully and held the soil of the rice field next to him.

"Gui pressure Qianguan is a rare feng shui land, generally speaking, the acupuncture points of the Feng Shui Bureau, the soil quality is different, the rich land must have a different light, if you dig deep, you will appear like Tai Ji Tu like the soil, and the soil is fragrant and light, it is called the five-color soil." I frowned and looked up at Ling Zhihan. "The five colors are red, yellow, green, white, and black, with red clay and loess being the best, followed by purple clay and white clay, and black soil is unlucky."

Ling Zhihan hesitated for a moment and took the soil sample from my hand, looked at it for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "This is indeed the black soil of the five-colored soil. ”

"It doesn't make sense, this is the cave of wealth, why is the soil black?" I was puzzled, stood up and said to Gong Jue and Tian Ji. "Dig first and see what happens to the soil underneath."

We dug down a shaft, about three meters deep, the more we went down the soil became darker, and the black was abnormal, I had dug many graves with the general, I had never seen such soil, and it smelled a pungent smell.

"It's changed, the color has changed." Tian Ji said next to him with a probe shovel. "The color is starting to turn white, but it seems that the soil below seems to be seeping water, and the shovel can't bring it up."

I took the shovel in the hand of the field chicken, and found that in the soil sample I brought up, there was a white thing turbid inside, flowing like water droplets, and I rubbed it with my hands without feeling that it was not water.

Gong Jue grabbed some sample soil from Tansho Mountain and put it in his hand, and just glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened: "Don't dig it!" ”

Looking at Gong Jue's reaction, he knew that there was trouble, and Tian Ji held up the shovel and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's mercury in the soil!" The palace lord replied in horror.

"What are you doing with mercury in the soil?" Tian Ji asked blankly.

No wonder the soil here is black, it turns out that this is the reason, I already know why the palace lord is so nervous, this is a kind of mechanism for anti-theft in the tomb, the tomb is covered with a flap, covered with sealed soil, the mercury is wrapped in a very thin skin bag and placed in the sealed soil, when someone digs the skin, the mercury inside will slowly penetrate downward.

We see mercury in the soil samples, indicating that the trap has been triggered, but the mercury penetrates the flaps, and these flaps pull the whole body, and any slight change in weight will cause the flaps to open.

"Step back, light steps." I slowly turned my head to look at Ling Zhihan and said seriously.

Ling Zhihan probably didn't realize what was happening, but he didn't dare to ask more when he saw my grim expression, and as soon as he took a step back, I felt that the soil layer under my feet was loosening, and it was getting faster and faster, and before we could react, I only felt my body suddenly fall down.

It was pitch black below, and the triggered flap made all four of us fall at the same time, and then there was a split second that the mercury in the soil would re-cover the flap with the flap, and the chance would return to its original state again.

When my body fell heavily into the water, I heard three successive impacts in the darkness, and I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, from the time of the fall, we should be seven or eight meters underground by now, if it wasn't for the water here, we would have fallen to death on the spot.

I called Gong Jue and Tian Ji, their voices came from the dark, it sounded fine, my name was Ling Zhihan, it took a long time to hear her voice full of pain, she was not far from me, I followed the sound and touched it, and grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"When I fell, my foot hit a stone in the water." Ling Zhihan supported me and couldn't stand up at all.
