About this article Chapter 6 The Three Major Sects of Inverted Buckets (2)
Since the end of the 80s of the last century, China's archaeologists have carried out protective excavations on the tombs of King Xiao of Han Liang, and in the tombs that have been stolen in the Three Kingdoms era, more than 20,000 precious cultural relics such as golden jade clothes and large jade bi have been excavated, and many cultural relics are of great value. It can be imagined what a great temptation this huge treasure was for Cao Cao's army, which was short of food and clothing at that time. There were many tomb robbers, and Cao Cao realized that thick burials are easy to attract tomb robbers.
As a result, Cao Cao became the first ruler in Chinese history to advocate "thin burial". In 218 A.D., he issued a "Final Decree", proposing not to bury himself after death, but to bury himself in barren land, according to the original height of the ground as a foundation, no soil on the mausoleum, no trees. Gold, jade, jewelry, bronze and other objects should not be buried with them.
You know, although Cao Cao was not the emperor at that time, his power and status were no less than that of the emperor, why did he not only advocate "thin burial", but also practice it? There are two reasons for this: First, he advocated frugality all his life. It is said that he was extremely strict with his family and officials. His son Cao Zhi's wife was ordered by him to "hang herself" according to the family rules because she was wearing ayaluo. The curtains and screens in the palace should be repaired and reused after they are worn, and they cannot be replaced with new ones. Second, to prevent tomb robbing. Probably because he had robbed tombs in his early years, and had witnessed many graves that were stolen and the bones were strewn and everything was in disarray, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he repeatedly asked for a "thin burial". This statement is more credible, and his son Cao Pi once analyzed the reason for the theft of the tombs of the princes: "Since the funeral, the tombs of the Han family have all been excavated, and the golden wisps of jade boxes have been burned, and the bones are exhausted. The cause of the disaster is the thick burial of the tree. Empress Dowager Guo also said: "Since the funeral, all the graves have been excavated, and they are all buried by thick burials. ”
While advocating and practicing "thin burial", he also took the measure of "doubtful graves". Legend has it that on the day he was buried, all the gates of Yecheng were opened, and 72 coffins were lifted out of the gates from four directions, south, east, west, and northwest at the same time.
Since then, the mystery of Cao Cao's tomb has been suspended. Which of these 72 doubtful graves is real? For thousands of years, there have been countless tomb robbers, but no one has excavated the real tomb of Cao Cao. In the face of the sigh that "Cao's tomb is gone", people have a deeper understanding of Cao Cao's treacherous and suspicious. But from another point of view, Cao Cao's life was frugal and took the lead in "thin burial", which is of positive significance. In that era of frequent wars and social turmoil, he was in a high position, and he was forced to deal with the aftermath in a secret way. In doing so, it is also a wise move to protect oneself and make it difficult for tomb robbers to do so. More than a thousand years have passed, and the real tomb of Cao Cao has not yet been found, and it may always be a mystery within a mystery. After that, some tomb robbers robbed the tomb by touching the feng shui method of touching the gold school captain, all of which were called "touching the gold school captain".
The second is to touch the gold captain of the inverted fighting technique, touch the gold captain to be good at finding the tomb, when digging the tomb, in the tomb to point the candle, put in the southeast corner, and then start to touch the gold. If the rooster crows and the candle is extinguished, the belongings must be put back in their place, respectfully kowtow three times, and go back empty-handed. The rooster cries and the lights go out, and the gold is not touched. The burial chamber is only allowed to enter once, and it is not allowed to enter again. If you meet peers, support each other, but the first to choose the Ming (Underworld) apparatus.
The second type is the alternative characters in the inverted bucket, they are the mountain movers.
This mountain movers, descendants of the ancient tribes of the Western Regions, are generally no more than 60 years old due to some kind of curse. It refers specifically to those who take tomb robbing as a profession, are good at the art of restraint, their whereabouts are hidden and difficult to find, and they rarely communicate with outsiders for many years, but what they do is only to obtain "Danzhu" and not for property.
The origin of the mountain movers is even more mysterious to the extreme, and it is more like a legend to say it.
The "Zagrama Mountain" in the depths of the Taklamakan Desert, under the black mountain range, there are countless secrets buried, perhaps really the same as the name of the mountain, Zagrama means "mysterious" in the ancient Wei language, and some people interpret it as "sacred mountain", in short, it is difficult for mortals living around Zagrama to find out the mystery.
In ancient times, the nameless tribe that was once born and was called the "Sage", let's call it the "Zagrama tribe", the tribe of the tribe migrated from the distant European continent, and lived in the Zagrama Mountains for many years, until people inadvertently found the bottomless "ghost cave" in the belly of the mountain, the sorcerer of the tribe told everyone that in the ancient East, there was a golden jade giant eye, which could see the truth of the ghost cave, so they imitated and built the same jade eye, It is used to worship the "ghost cave", and from that moment on, bad luck befalls this tribe.
After that, the Zagrama tribe was abandoned by Allah, and the calamities continued, and the sages who were the leaders of the tribe believed that this must be related to the "ghost cave", and once the door of the calamity was opened, it would be difficult to close it again, and in order to avoid these terrible disasters, they had to abandon their homes where they had lived for many years, migrated to the far east, and gradually integrated into the civilization of the Central Plains.
What is the so-called "calamity"? From the current point of view, it seems that it is a virus, a virus that is infected through the eyes, and anyone who has seen the ghost cave with their own eyes will have a red lump in the shape of an eyeball on their body after a period of time, which cannot be eliminated for the rest of their lives.
People who give birth to this kind of red scar, after the age of forty, the concentration of iron in the blood of the body will gradually decrease, and the reason why the blood flow of the person is red is because the blood contains iron, if the iron in the blood slowly disappears. The blood becomes thicker and stickier, the oxygen supply to the brain decreases, it becomes more and more difficult to breathe, and finally by the time of death, the blood has turned yellow.
This painful process will continue for ten years. Their descendants, although they no longer have red scars on their bodies, will still suffer from iron deficiency, and in the end, like their ancestors, they will take great pains to go to the extreme pain, because they are not like the later elites, only a few clergy have seen the ghost cave, but most of the people in the tribe have seen the ghost cave with their own eyes, so they have to leave their homeland.
After moving to the Central Plains region. After several generations of observation, they found a pattern, the farther away from the ghost cave, the later the onset of the disease, but no matter what, this symptom is always there, generation after generation, dying of miserable suffering, no words are enough to describe the pain of blood turning yellow clotted.
In order to find a solution to this pain, everyone in the tribe tried their best. Many years later, in the Song Dynasty, an important clue was finally found, and a huge bronze tripod was found in the silt of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which was a product of the middle Shang Dynasty.
This tripod is deep belly concave bottom, there are four legs under it, majestic and dignified, and cast with exquisite cicada pattern, tripod is an important ritual vessel in ancient times, especially in the Bronze Age, bronze mines are controlled in the hands of the government, the level of bronze smelting technology, marking a strong process of a country, the emperor cast tripod used to sacrifice the ancestors of heaven and earth, and cast inscriptions on the tripod, report some important things to heaven and earth, in addition to the items used to reward the princes and nobles, also often represented by bronze, the person who received the reward, in order to record this great glory, When he returned, he ordered people to use the bronze they received as raw materials to build utensils to commemorate these important events at that time.
The descendants of the Zagrama tribe found such a bronze tripod that recorded a major event, when the 32nd monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Wu Ding, once obtained a gold-stained jade eyeball, which is said to have been found by a collapsed mountain peak, and a red robe was also found.
Shang King Wu Ding thought that this ancient jade eye was left after the Yellow Emperor became immortal, extremely precious, and named it "Yun Chenzhu", so he ordered someone to cast a tripod to commemorate, and the inscription record on the bronze tripod was limited to this, and there was no superfluous information to protect it. (Yun dust beads, dust beads, red pills, is the three major Chinese god beads that have appeared in the history books many times since ancient times, among which the dust beads are made of mysterious materials similar to jade, according to legend, they are obtained by the Yellow Emperor to sacrifice to the sky, and the legend is that they were later used to accompany the burial of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Maoling Tomb was destroyed by farmers, and its whereabouts are still unknown; Probably the world's first radioactive material, the bead was discovered in Shaanxi, China, and disappeared due to a vicious looting incident. Chidan is the most legendary, legend has it that the Dan comes from Sanshen Mountain, has the miraculous effect of rebirth, has always been the secret collection of the palace, lost in the late Northern Song Dynasty. )
The descendants of the Zagrama tribe, there are many who are good at dazzling, they think that this ancient jade eyeball dyed with gold is the eye of the gods, only with this ancient jade eyeball to sacrifice the ghost cave, in order to offset the disaster caused by the previous sorcerer in the clan to make the jade eye to spy on the secret of the ghost cave, this ancient jade that was once owned by Wu Ding, changed hands several times in the war, and now it is very likely that it has been buried in the ancient cemetery palace of a royal noble, and has become a burial object, but the scope of the dazzling is limited, and the exact location cannot be known.
At this time, the Zagrama tribe has been reduced from 5,000 people when they migrated to the mainland, to more than 1,000 people, they have long been assimilated by the Han civilization, and even the surname has been sinicized, in order to get rid of the shackles of the disease, they had to disperse to various places, looking for "dust beads" in the ancient tombs, these people became a branch of the four major tomb robbery systems at that time.
Since ancient times, professional tomb robbers, according to different means of action, are divided into four factions, hair hills, touch gold, move mountains, unload mountains, descendants of the Zagrama tribe, most of them learn the "moving mountains and dividing the armor", usually disguised as Taoist priests, and call themselves "mountain movers".
The predecessor of the mountain movers has a slight relationship with Maoshan, but because of the concept, they are also mutually exclusive. Because of the relatively late creation of the school, there are not many inherited feng shui spells, and the traditional rules are completely ignored, and they are rejected by other sects, so they rarely show their true identities, and travel around the country as a Taoist priest, without too strong good and evil and national concepts.
The mechanism formation is its strength, and it is very good at cracking all kinds of mechanisms in the tomb. Feng Shui is only a rough doorway, but it is far from the other three schools. The mountain movers are often loners and never cooperate with others. Traditional martial arts are stronger than touching gold, but to deal with zombies, they mostly use pre-set formations and various homemade small handmade weapons. Most of them are dressed as Taoist priests, and it is precisely because of their costumes that they add a lot of mystery to them, and many people think that they excavate the ancient mound's "moving mountains and dividing armor", which is a kind of spell similar to Maoshan Taoism. "Mountain movers" are very different from "touching gold school captains", it can be seen from the title, "moving mountains" takes a trumpet-type tomb robbery, which is a means of mainly using external forces to destroy, while "touching gold" pays more attention to technical links.
Although they are through organs, they have always been mainly sabotage, and unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, but for personal safety and channels for selling stolen goods, there are also various routines that have been naturally formed and handed down. Details are not available at this time.
Finally, it's the unloading of the Lux team.
It is said that the founder of the Jieling faction is a bandit leader, and the immortals taught him "the method of making people powerful", so the bandit leader is invincible in shaking the mountains, and later he did the work of robbing the tomb, and taught this method to his proud disciples, and his disciples called themselves Jieling Lux. Slowly, the people of the Jieling faction began to flourish
In terms of the means of robbing tombs, the unloading wrestler is not as good as Captain Jin, but he also has his uniqueness.
Hair mound, touch gold, move mountains, unload mountains, its technique is nothing more than "look, smell, ask, cut" four tricks, four words are divided into eight methods, each has two up and down, such as "looking" on the word above the law, is to look at the stars above, under the vein; Under the law to view the mud marks, distinguish the color of the grass, in the meantime, although they are far apart, but they all have the way, not the ordinary art industry can be compared. Therefore, as the saying goes, "Seventy-two lines, tomb robbery is the king".
They use an iron drill to drill into the ground and draw it out to identify the smell of the soil, and then make judgments according to the different types of odors in the soil, in addition to the difference in the feel of the iron drill and the difference in the color of the soil are all matters for them to consider, but the most important thing is to rely on the nose, so in order to maintain the sensitivity of their nose, they avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy things.
It is close to the technique of touching gold, and it is slightly inferior in technology, but it pays more attention to the cooperation of everyone. In ancient times, it was often disguised as a pawnshop's pilgrimage, antique dealer, etc. It is not easy to make a move, and occasionally acts mostly against some large mausoleums, and is the only one of the four factions that does not shy away from cooperating with the government. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the persecution of foreign peoples, they went into exile overseas, and were mostly active in Southeast Asia and the Americas, and they have been found in many large-scale ancient tomb excavation teams. Most of the remaining branches in China are mixed in government departments as archaeologists.
The Jieling faction should be the most controversial of the tomb robber sects, because the multifaceted nature of the Jieling faction makes many people love and hate them. On the one hand, the people of the Jieling faction, which is usually called the Jieling Lux in the green forest, are free to roam between heroes and tomb robbers, and no one can figure out whether it is their main business to rob houses or rob tombs. When they have tombs, they rob tombs, and when there are no tombs to rob, the leader gives an order, and everyone starts to block the road and rob for a living, because there are many people and great strength, so whether they rob tombs or do bandits, they are extremely destructive.
There are many rules and regulations of the Jieling faction, which are listed below:
The Jieling faction mainly smells with the nose, and in order to maintain the sensitivity of the nose, they all avoid spicy things such as tobacco and alcohol. Punch into the ground with an iron drill, and smell it with your nose after pulling it out, the various smells brought up by the iron drill from the underground soil, as well as the feel of the ground when beating the soil, the ground is empty, or there is wood, masonry, these feelings must be different
The real experts are disdainful of those things in Luoyang, because if the underground soil is not dry enough, the effect will be greatly reduced, especially in those rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, where the rainfall is heavy, many ancient tombs are flooded by groundwater, and the underground soil layer is washed into a mess.
The Xieling faction has been hunted down and killed by the Mongolian people for a long time, and many of the people are precarious, in order to protect themselves, the rules of the predecessors have changed for thousands of years. And evolved all kinds of new rules, such as never shooting at the mausoleums of Han people or even Chinese, and so on. Details are not yet available.
Finally, let's talk about the development history of Xieling Lux, which can be regarded as a legend.
The sheer is an extreme nationalist. During the Yuan-Mongolian period, they were hostile to the Yuan-Mongolian regime, so they were retaliated and persecuted, and it can be said that they could be arrested and killed as long as they revealed their identities at that time. Therefore, after the release of Ling Lux, he will try his best to hide his identity, and even the closest people will not tell him.
During the Yuan and Mongolian dynasties, they tried to excavate Genghis Khan's mausoleum and destroy its feng shui to restore the Han people's mountains and rivers. Therefore, the Yuanmeng regime spared no effort to attack it, and even organized killers to assassinate the people of Jielingmen. Perhaps because the Yuan and Mongolian periods were forced too hard, the Xieling wrestlers gradually faded out of the Central Plains.
It can be said that the Jieling faction is the most complex tomb robbery sect.
The above are the three major schools that everyone knows, and next, the popularization of black words and tools in the inverted bucket.
Inverted bucket: that is, tomb robbery.

Flares: It can be used when pouring a large bucket, and can be used to illuminate a wide range in a short time
Glowsticks: Can be thrown on the ground in large quantities to see the condition (flares are limited, this is a supplement)
The above is the basic black words and tools in the inverted bucket, and other more remote ones will be slowly popularized in the future, I hope it will be helpful for everyone to understand the inverted bucket.
