Professor Sun worked hard to find the ancient tomb museum in Dixian City, but in the end he found nothing. He collected and sorted out the information about the tomb robbers of the Ming Dynasty Guanshan Taibao from the people over the years, and recorded all of them in this work notebook, and in the end he was a little disheartened.

However, in the process of studying Guanshan Taibao, he learned a lot of secrets about ancient tomb robbery activities from rural conversations and various historical materials, and knew that there were no immortal people in this world since ancient times, and there were no graves, as long as it was an ancient tomb, there would be a day when it would be dug up and stolen. The art of tomb robbery is nothing more than the four doors of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting".

"Wang" refers to looking at the feng shui shape shì, looking at the stars from the sky and the earth's veins to determine the location and layout of the ancient tomb, which requires insight into the pulse of the mountains, rivers, and the sun, moon and stars, which is extremely profound and majestic, and is not something that ordinary tomb robbers can grasp; In addition, this method of looking at the tomb can also observe the differences between the surface, soil, and vegetation to find the tomb, also known as "looking at mud marks and distinguishing grass color".

The word "smell" can also be divided into two methods, there is a person with a different talent, an extremely keen sense of smell, can distinguish the special breath in the deep mountains and old forests through the nose; "Smell" also refers to the keen ear sound of tomb robbers, and when you practice to the realm of "chickens serving the morning and dogs keeping vigil at night", you can listen to the sounds of nature and infer the situation underground.

It is said that the word "ask" is to "consult" with the local natives through guò to understand the information and location of the ancient tomb from the side, and when you are lucky, you will have unexpected effects; It is said that ancient tomb robbers could use guò divination to determine the structure of the ancient tomb and the good luck and evil in the tomb, but this technique was extinct a long time ago, and no one knows it anymore.

Finally, there is the word "cut", mainly the various methods of tomb robbers to excavate ancient tombs, how to use various tools to dig the robbery holes in a way that avoids the real and the virtual, there are gold and fixed holes, straight to the middle palace, there are also long hoes and shovels to collapse the mountain and reveal the zenith, and there are also the pan mountain cave tomb armor that casts magic to drive away beasts.

Professor Sun knows that he knows, but this "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting" technique is mostly passed down for thousands of years, and these things may be heard by the people, but if you really want to learn these skills, it is completely impossible to master them if you don't teach them truthfully, not to mention that most of the tomb robbery techniques have been lost for a long time.

According to the point of the factory, it is almost time to die, but Sun Xuewu has a paranoid personality and is particularly persistent in the things he recognizes, he does not die when he does not see the Yellow River, he does not cry when he does not see the coffin, he still wants to find the earth immortal without sleeping and eating in vain, and he wants to spy on the ancient hexagram hidden in the Xuanji Tower.

Perhaps it is really the emperor who lives up to his wishes, Professor Sun accidentally learned a secret history when he was sorting out ancient books. In the period of King Mu of Zhou, there was a statue of the ancient tripod forged by the dragon fire of the South China Sea, there is a hexagram mirror hexagram on the tripod, the ancient tripod comes from the ruins, its material is a rare utensils in the bronze, due to the condensation of the sea air in the tripod, its copper nature has lasted for thousands of years without loss, and the older the copper, the deeper the green of the copper color.

The hexagram and hexagram mirror inlaid on the ancient tripod are the essence of the candle performance hexagram in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the sea air contained in the bronze can be used to deduce the funeral image. The ancient people were superstitious about the shape of the feng shui, and the most important thing was the "qi", that is, the "vitality" in the dragon vein, the mirage vision on the sea. Most of them are due to changes in sea and air. The sea gas in the ruins is the "dragon vein and dragon energy". Any fragment on this ancient tripod can turn an ordinary tomb into a feng shui treasure land of vitality and condensation, and the hexagram mirror on the tripod can be used to peek and deduce the location of the ancient tomb.

Professor Sun didn't believe that there was really a Guiru Guding at first, but after a little research, he realized that this matter was not groundless. However, this tripod was used as a burial item with King Mu of Zhou to be buried, and later when the tomb of King Mu of Zhou was dug up, it was found that the copper tripod had been shattered by lightning, and the hexagram mirror and four ancient talismans were taken away respectively, and they were scattered in all directions.

In history, the legend of tomb robbers asking the sky and looking for the ancient tomb is likely to come from the ancient ding. It is said that the Guixu hexagram mirror refutes the mysteries, and through the guidance of the guò hexagram, different hexagrams can be presented according to the changes in the surrounding vitality, gathering and dispersion. Professor Sun knows that there are a total of 16 Zhou Tian hexagrams, and there are only four dragons, ghosts, people, and fish on the ancient tripod, which are used to observe the yin and yang air holes, and although it is not practical to crack the dragon bone hexagram of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this is an important breakthrough.

But up to this point, these ideas were just a castle in the air in Professor Sun's mind. After the ruins of the ancient tripod were broken, the copper tripod was melted and recast into a Dan furnace, and the whereabouts of the hexagram mirror were unknown, they were all feng shui secret weapons in the eyes of the ancients, and God knows whether it was taken by the tomb owner who knew the goods to sleep underground. Professor Sun has no wealth or power, and it is not easy for him to collect them again on his own.

However, there is a way that is unpredictable, the most coincidental opportunity, and it is also a coincidence, and it really made him wait for the opportunity. Two years ago, when Professor Sun was on a business trip to Inner Mongolia, a herdsman told him a very strange thing, at that time, the grassland of Inner Mongolia had been desertified, but there was a piece of sand meadow where the grass was particularly lush, and from a distance it looked like a green meadow, and the area was not very large, about a few tens of meters.

There are many weasels hidden in this meadow, coming and going in groups and looking extremely sneaky. In the past, the local herdsmen had rarely seen weasels, and thought that this was a bad omen, so they agreed to bring a large number of herding dogs and hunting rifles to kill them. The shepherd dogs of the grassland are the best at catching gophers, and they are not inferior to catching weasels, and in less than a day's work, they have bitten to death hundreds of weasels of all sizes, and the corpses are scattered all over the ground.

After the clean-up, the herdsmen began to peel the skin of the weasel, and some people lit fire to the grass, one of them saw that there was a bronze dragon-shaped artifact in the soil nest inside, which did not look worth anything, and did not know that it was an antiquity, so he hung it on the mount Bu as an ornament, and wanted to go to the flag in a few days to catch the market, and take it to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange some paper cigarettes.

Professor Sun is a person with a heart, hearing the news, without saying a word, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives overnight to buy a cigarette, and exchanged it effortlessly to the herdsman who picked up the eyeless dragon talisman, and secretly collected it.

Since then, Professor Sun has been more concerned about the matter of the ancient hexagram mirror, but there has been no whereabouts of the remaining secret weapons, and it was not until not long ago that he had some eyebrows. It turned out that the hexagram mirror had already flowed abroad in the late Qing Dynasty, and sank into the sea with the ship during a smuggling trip. Sun Xuewu knew that his old friend Professor Chen had overseas connections, so he made up a lie, telling Professor Chen that it was Qin Yuzhao, one of the eight mirrors of King Qin, that he was sinking into the sea, and it was a priceless national treasure, and asked Professor Chen to find a way to find someone to salvage it.

The back of the hexagram mirror is densely packed with symbols, which are very delicate and complex, and the collector is worried about being worn out, and in order to make the sea and air in the bronze mirror condense for a long time, they are sealed and stored with fire paint. Sun Xuewu had already learned about this in advance, but he concealed it and told Professor Chen: "That's because the bone mirror has been looking at the corpse for thousands of years, and the obscurity in the mirror still exists, and it cannot be seen by people." ”

Sun Xuewu knew that the wreck was in the vast sea, and it was not easy to salvage, so he used Professor Chen's relationship to salvage the Guiru Hexagram Mirror, and he also had the idea of "planning things in people, and achieving things in the sky", and did not have much hope, and he didn't expect to really retrieve the ancient mirror intact from the South China Sea, which was really an unexpected joy. After getting his hands, he didn't hand it in, but secretly hid it at home and secretly analyzed the hexagram on the back of the mirror. Professor Chen delayed a lot of work during his treatment in the United States, and after returning to China, he was always busy, and he was so convinced of his old friend that he willingly gave Sun Xuewu the credit for finding the national treasure, and never asked him if he had donated the national treasure, let alone that the ancient mirror of the South China Sea was not the bone mirror of King Qin at all.

The bronze fish in the four ancient talismans, which lasted thousands of years, is still embedded in the ancient mirror and has never been separated, Sun Xuewu never even dreamed that the two talismans and one mirror have arrived in his hands. Now there are only two bronze talismans for one person and one ghost, and if you get all these things together, you can open the Guanshan Ancient Tomb in Renchuan, and the secret of Zhou Tian's hexagram seems to be close at hand.

Professor Sun recently learned that before the liberation, someone bought a batch of cultural relics from the hands of Hunan tomb robbers, and they were not lost in the folk for many years, but fortunately they were not mutilated and lost, and they were donated by patriotic overseas Chinese not long ago, and are currently on tour throughout the country, including the Dan furnace recast from the ancient Ding of Guixu, as well as two other bronze hexagrams, and when the Dan furnace was cast, the ancient Ding was unearthed from the tomb of King Mu of Zhou, and the original shape of the body of the Ding -- a graphic record was cast on the Dan furnace.

Professor Sun happened to be back in Beijing at that time, and when he saw that these antiquities were on display in Tianjin, he could no longer bear it. He was already withdrawn, so he didn't even ask for leave, so he rushed directly to the museum to see what was going on. However, how can it be enjoyable to see it from a distance in the exhibition room of the museum, and I don't want anyone to know that he has been studying the Guixu Guding for many years, so he can't contact through the official channels, so he simply sneaks into the museum in the middle of the night and transcribes the inscriptions and graphics on the Dan furnace, hoping to get a glimpse of the use of hexagrams and mirrors.

The last few pages of the notebook are all inscriptions and patterns on the Dan furnace, but only half of them are cut off, and there is no further content in this notebook that records Professor Sun's secrets. Thinking that I happened to bump into him at that time, Professor Sun fled the museum in a hurry for fear of revealing his identity, and he left his most important notebook at the scene.

After reading it, I closed the work notebook, snorted coldly, and scolded: "This old boy usually pretends to be serious, but in fact, the whole thing is in the background, hidden deeper than the Guanshan Taibao, it's really a fucking old treacherous and cunning, and he actually used Hu Ye as a gun." I've never let people play such a trick in my life, walking back and forth with my head in the stormy seas, almost throwing my life in the South China Sea, if I hadn't seen this book of changing books at this time, I would still have to be kept in the dark by him - like a fool who thinks he is doing national merit. But he can hide his fart, but he can't hide the smell, and when the conspiracy to cover the sky with one hand is finally revealed, now that I know the truth, I will definitely let him walk around without eating. ”

Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, I don't think this matter is necessarily so simple, I'm afraid there are still hidden secrets." ”
