12. Find a needle in a haystack

Approaching the destination, during the noon break, a majestic mountain peak in front of him obscured the view, Zhang Xuan had already set the mountain when he made the plan, and discussed the specific route with Xia Wenjie while eating.

Judging from the map, the goal this time is about two kilometers away from the location of the Tai Sui in a straight line, in a small mountain basin on this side of Yunnan, what we see in front of us is the second main peak of Niuerling next to the basin. There have been sporadic fine gold and jade artifacts found in the basin before, and the period is also highly consistent with the age of King Luodian, and the source is still unknown, and it has long been suspected that there are high-standard tombs. But even if the original King Luo Dian accepted a lot of Han customs in the Central Plains, the Miao tombs did not completely follow the laws of the Han people, and had their own set of systems, which was very difficult to find, and the structure of the tombs was not accurate.

The mood is very contradictory, thinking of Bai Lu makes me feel confident and courageous, and when I think about the mysterious King Luodian, I feel a little panicked, tired of swapping back and forth, I simply don't think about anything, and I count a day as a day, while gobbling up food, while looking at the original ecological scenery around me.

When I touched the cigarette, I touched the two bamboo tubes that the patriarch gave me in my arms, and I wanted to open it for a while, but after all, I felt that it was inappropriate, and the oath I had made could not be counted, but the patriarch's trusting eyes made my conscience uneasy, Miao people are simple, I can still not deceive people, I can not deceive people, I can endure my curiosity and press it through my clothes, and my heart said don't lose it, maybe it is really useful.

There was plenty of time in the afternoon, it took only three hours to walk into the basin along the bank of a stream, when a dry camp was selected and the camp began to be busy, the sun was still hanging above the head in mid-high, this time I don't know how long to station, everyone cleaned up the grass around them, dug a half-meter deep snake-proof ditch around the camp, sprinkled realgar, and the steel drill that was pierced into the ground was also very deep, and the tent was firmly supported by a strong thick nylon rope, and the next few days or even half a month will pass here, and no matter how big the wind and rain are, they are not afraid of overturning.

After resting for so long, I looked left and right at the uneven basin, long and narrow from north to south, small in area, surrounded by several high and low mountains, several streams and waterfalls drooped down from the mountains, converging to the valley in front of me and extending into the distance, which was also the only way to enter and exit. If Gao Tong comes, he will probably be able to say that he is ugly, but that doesn't work, the ancient Miao people will not place the dragon's lair according to the feng shui veins of the Han people.

As soon as Lao Wu sat down, he took out a large notebook silently, wrote and drew on it, constantly changed angles to observe the surrounding environment, and tinkered for more than an hour, until he was still watching intently with a notebook during dinner, and everyone was slowly eating, while discussing the topic of how to find a tomb.

Lao Wu's idea is to use the elimination method to screen out impossible places everywhere, first of all, to deny all the positions of the middle basin, this basin has been washed by mountain floods for more than 1,600 years, I don't know how many times, the tombs of the ancient Miao people are strange, if you want to preserve it for a long time, you must avoid such places.

After listening to this, Chen Blind said noncommittally: "I'm afraid that not only this depression in front of me, as long as the tomb is repaired in the place where the water veins are taken in the open and secret, the tomb will collapse in a few hundred years at most, and even the coffin will be crushed and difficult to find. ”

Several of us shook our heads secretly, the information at hand showed that King Luo Dian had the same large-scale mausoleum repair as the emperor of the Central Plains during his lifetime, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake, Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked around the reckless mountains, and he probably didn't know where to start for a while, frowned and said: "In this way, if the tomb of King Luo Dian is really nearby, it should also be a mountain higher than the ground of the basin." ”

Lao Wu nodded, opened the notebook, pointed to a few sketches of the mountains just drawn, and highlighted seven or eight locations to say a bunch of reasons, from the necessary geographical conditions for the construction of large mausoleums, to the evolution of the terrain eroded by feng shui for more than a thousand years after the formation of the mountains, involving very complex professional archaeology, I have been listening to it in a daze, I only know that Lao Wu said that it is best for everyone to run these points together tomorrow, and nodded with everyone blankly.

I felt quite tricky when I arrived at the scene to find the tomb, and now I can only rely on Lao Wu and Chen Blind to try their luck in a haystack, no matter how big the power of 083 is, the geographical environment in front of me is not suitable for large-scale exploration. Everyone sat together, you and I said everything that could be thought of for the time being, and it was getting late.

Everyone chatted for a while and went back to their tents, Bai Lu and I were easily free, and sneaked to the bushes near the camp to talk, Bai Lu was worried that her aunt was worried about it, and the two of them didn't have much time to make love.

Beginning early the next morning, according to the plan, everyone began to investigate, but whether it was Chen Blind's geoauditory technique, or the stupid method of using an archaeological shovel to observe the soil samples to a certain depth, nothing was found, and the road up and down the mountain was full of wild vegetation, and the road was also very difficult, and everyone was tired and scattered after two whole days.

Fortunately, according to the reason for the exclusion of inference, you can save some places that can not be climbed, Lao Wu said that a large mausoleum in the coffin of the burial coffin transportation and placement conditions, determines its location can not be on those cliffs, in other words, the location of the mausoleum is regenerate, but also to people can climb up as the bottom limit, this is not too embarrassing for our good news.

In the past two days of busyness, I have run all over the possible places around, and there has been no progress at all, and I have unconsciously discouraged. And Bai Lu and I, although we see each other all the time, we never have the opportunity to be alone together, except for the many people and miscellaneous eyes, every day we are tired and have a sore back and legs, and when we come back, we lie in the tent and don't even bother to eat. I complained secretly, and my heart said that this was really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.

Three days had passed since we set up camp, and the climate in the mountains had changed, and that night there was a sudden night of heavy rain, and in the morning the rain did not stop, and the water flowed along the mountain in the basin, and the position of the camp was relatively high, and we escaped the fate of being flooded, but the only stream in and out was full, which was equivalent to trapping us in the same place. Although the water will recede sooner or later, and we don't need to panic when we have enough supplies, it still makes people feel upset.

It was at this time that there was a turning point that no one expected.
