Chen Ziyang's grandfather's old house is not the bungalow that Chen Ziyang thought before, but an old house in the northern region. There is a big ravine more than ten kilometers west of Da Walnut Town, this ravine is the big walnut ditch where the mining organ of the big walnut iron mine is located, from the big walnut ditch to the north, the area of dozens of kilometers is one of the main iron ore producing areas on the mine, which is called the northern area.

Chen Ziyang's grandfather settled in the only small village in the northern region after liberation, and later moved to Dahetao Town. Chen Ziyang vaguely had an impression of that place, as if he had been there when he was four or five years old, Chen Ziyang vaguely remembered that there were only two rows of bungalows and more than a dozen families. Chen Ziyang thought to himself, nine times out of ten, the starting point of the dragon search is there.

Chen Ziyang borrowed an electric three-wheeler, took a compass, a shovel and a pickaxe, and went straight to the northern region. There is only one road from the iron mine to the north, and although this road is not walked all year round, and the road is full of weeds and gravel, you can still see the outline of the road, so you will not get lost.

It took more than an hour, and Chen Ziyang finally arrived at the place after stumbling on the electric tricycle. Chen Ziyang looked at the two rows of abandoned adobe houses and the surrounding barren mountains, and couldn't figure out why his grandfather lived in such a shabby place back then, probably to avoid the Zhang family's pursuers. Chen Ziyang took out the compass and searched for the past according to the location recorded in the dragon search formula.

"Chen to Chuan, Ding Xinglong, Shen to Ding Shui, cross the stream to ......", Chen Ziyang knew that he might have found the right place, and the only path in front of the village pointed to the "Chen" position. It wasn't until "Shen Zhi Ding Shui" that Chen Ziyang encountered a small river, and two small streams converged from different directions to form a small river, which was the "Ding Shui" in the Dragon Hunting Formula.

After climbing the mountain for nearly an hour, Chen Ziyang finally reached the end of the dragon hunting record, looking at the landform here, it turned out to be a broken mountain. There are many particularities about burial in Feng Shui, and the Nine Songs and Ten Recipes record that there are ten important in Feng Shui, ten non-burial, ten rich, ten expensive, ten poor, and ten cheap. There are twenty-eight wants, twenty-six fears, and twenty-two good. Among them, ten non-burials mean that there are ten landforms that cannot be buried, and five of these ten landforms are not buried.

The five unburied dragons refer to childhood, brokenness, stone, solitude, and passing. That is, Tong Mountain, Broken Mountain, Stone Mountain, Dushan Mountain, and Over Mountain. Tongshan refers to a bare mountain with scorched soil and no vegetation. Tongshan is a lifeless place, and it is not allowed to be buried; Broken mountain refers to the mountain is traversed here, and the vitality in feng shui is used to travel with the earth vein, and when the pulse is broken, the angry is cut off, so the broken mountain cannot be buried. The stone mountain is born of the resentment of the earth, and it is so evil that it cannot be buried. There is no knot in the life of crossing the mountain, and it is not allowed to be buried. Dushan refers to the mountain range of the dragon lonely, there is no frontier to protect the arch, the mountains and rivers do not meet, such a mountain shape, can only be a temple temple, if as a tomb, the descendants must be scattered, so can not be buried.

Now the place where Chen Ziyang is standing is a broken mountain, Chen Ziyang took a compass to measure the direction, and dug it up at the place where the mountain is separated.

While digging, Chen Ziyang remembered a story that his father Chen Nianzhong had told him before. Chen Nianzhong told him that Chen Ziyang's grandfather used to be the foreman of the mine, and it is said that he made a lot of money when he contracted labor for the Japanese. When the Red Guards raided the house, his grandfather was afraid that the property would be turned out, so he put the whole family in the hat of a landlord, so his grandfather put all the silver dollars and gold bars in the family overnight, and found a secret place on the mountain to bury them while it was dark.

Later, when his grandfather went up the mountain to look for the place where the family property was buried, he forgot where he was buried and could not find it again. Now that I think about it, although it is impossible to bury gold, it would be good to be able to save my life by working for the Japanese, so how can I earn gold? But it seems that this matter is not groundless, his grandfather did bury something in the mountain, it should be those ancient books.

Chen Ziyang dug while thinking. After digging a pit more than a foot deep, a black leather pocket was found at the bottom of the pit, Chen Ziyang opened the leather pocket to see, and there were several old yellowed books wrapped in several layers of tarpaulin. "Found it!" Chen Ziyang thought about it, but he didn't have time to take a closer look, so Chen Ziyang packed up his things and went home.

After arriving home, Chen Ziyang was excited and took out the ancient books to look at them, only to see the words "Civil Engineering Collection" written on the ancient books. What is it? Is this a textbook for the Department of Civil Engineering?

Turning the next page, the book reads: Tuji, Tuji is divided into four methods: looking, smelling, asking, and cutting. Chen Ziyang scratched his head, how did the textbook of the Department of Civil Engineering become a medical book of Chinese medicine again?

Continue to watch, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized.

Lookout, look at the mountain to know the shape of the dragon, watch the dragon and point the dragon's eyes. Hope refers to the technique of finding dragons and points in Feng Shui.

The smell of the nose and the smell of the wood, refers to the size of the tomb and the location of the tomb by the soil around the tomb and the growth of trees.

The questioner uses the stories and legends passed down by people to determine where there are ancient tombs.

Cutter, refers to the way to play the hole and the direction of the hole, how to make a reasonable hole according to the structure of the tomb, so that the hole can be saved and can achieve the goal.

After roughly flipping through all the books, Chen Ziyang was shocked, this is really not an ordinary book. This is simply a collection of ways and means of tomb robbing for more than 1,500 years.

The whole set of books is written in traditional Chinese and is divided into three parts: earth, wood, and engineering. The earthen collection records the methods of finding tombs and digging holes; The wooden collection records the structure of various tombs and how they were destroyed. The Gongji details the arrangement of the common mechanisms in the tomb and the methods of cracking them.

In the next two months, Chen Ziyang read the contents of the book without sleep and food. Two months later, Chen Ziyang has basically mastered the content of the book, and his level of traditional Chinese characters has risen rapidly.

This book was originally written by a Tang Dynasty feng shui master named Zhang De, who was proficient in tomb construction and feng shui, and during the construction of the Qianling Tomb in the Tang Dynasty, this Zhang De was selected as the foreman of a certain district to be responsible for the construction of part of the Qianling Tomb.

The Qianling project is huge, lasting more than 20 years, in these 20 years, Zhang Dejie got to know feng shui masters from all over the world, these people all have unique skills, all have unique views on feng shui and construction. Everyone wants to see each other late, supervise the work during the day, and exchange experiences at night. Zhang De is like a fish in water here and has benefited a lot. So Zhang De secretly recorded some of the essence of feng shui and architecture, wanting to pass it on to future generations.
