After a week of blowing, the wind finally stopped.

The sun rises in the east, the sea of sand is golden, and the grains of sand shimmer with dazzling light.

The sand ridge is like a dragon, stretching from east to west, boundless, empty and silent.

The ancient city is isolated in the middle of nowhere.

As soon as the wind stopped, the floating sand gradually tamped down, and the road was much easier.

"Slippery", Lu Benzhi fell and climbed down the sand slope.

Li Dingan hurriedly bypassed the sand beam and helped him up.

"You said you, old arms and legs, what are you making a fuss about?"

"If you don't make it clear, you blame me? I thought it was the kind of feng shui site that Lao He said......"

Lu Benzhi sighed, "I've studied antiques and architecture for half a lifetime, how have I ever seen this?" ”

That's right.

Before going to Qinglong Mountain, Li Ding'an had never seen ...... Oh no, I guess no one has seen it.

At first glance, Li Ding'an found another feng shui array, not far from the capital, and the old man came non-stop.

Not only did he come, but he also brought a large group: Xiao Jianzhi, director of the Ancient Buildings Repair Center of the Forbidden City, and Cheng Ming, director of the Research and Management Office of Ancient Architecture Engineering.

These two are all members of the expert group of ancient architecture of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, as well as the person in charge of ancient architecture-related topics.

There are more researchers who are not in charge of the project, and there are more than a dozen of them.

When the result came, I realized that it had nothing to do with what they thought: it was not a big array, it was just an ancient city.

This thing has been studied and vomited for a long time.

Forget it, it's all here......

After a week of wind, the dunes flattened and the area was much larger.

Looking further down, the ruins of the ancient city seem to be much larger?

Li Ding'an spread out the small horse and let Lu Benzhi sit and rest, and the people behind him also came up one after another.

Experts, researchers, photography groups, technicians, explorers.

The leaders are at the rear.

The local leader in charge of cultural tourism is a female leader, and Shu Jinghao is an alumnus, graduated from the Department of Archaeology of the National People's University, and is still from a professional class.

It's beautiful, but it's also very weak, and you can stop for a while when you walk for a while. Panting and sweating.

Yan ...... Yan Hall ...... Teacher Li said that it could be Wang Cheng...... But I look at ...... Not quite like that? ”

"It's okay, it's not, it's good to come and learn!"

"That's right!"

The female leader smiled reluctantly.

After that, Wang Yongqian and Zuo Peng, the two glanced at each other.

Speaking from the heart, they don't feel like it either.

But it's already good.

Li Ding'an did not carry out the investigation and excavation at the same time as in Qinglong Mountain, and did not let the local people transfer machines, which is already conservative enough......

Turning his mind, a group of leaders also went to Shaping.

Lu Benzhi held up the telescope, as if observing the topography of the ancient city.

"It's built in a boxy way, but the royal city is ...... Can't see it? ”

The point is that it is too small, and it doesn't even look like 10,000 square meters......

Suddenly, Wang Yongqian's heart "banged": Dean Lu can't even see it?

Li Dingan pointed to the north: "Don't just look at the city, you look out first!" ”

"See what?"

"Mountains and water?"

Lu Benzhi was stunned for a moment, and shoved the binoculars into his arms, "Come on, you find it for me!" ”

Others also opened their eyes wide: the yellow sand is boundless...... Where are the mountains and the water?

"Really!"

Li Ding'an swore an oath: "I saw the pit in the northwest direction, it is the former site of Chagan Lake, and there is a Baogeda Mountain two kilometers to the east, which is directly north of the ancient city, and the local herdsmen call it a holy mountain...... But it's not high, it's only thirty or forty meters above the ground! ”

No wonder you can't see it...... Thirty-four meters high is also called a holy mountain?

Lu Benzhi couldn't help but smile, "Okay, what about the mountains and water?" ”

"Yes, but before!" Li Ding'an pointed around, "It is the Xi River, the main trunk is due south, and then it goes around the city, and it merges into three lakes in the southeast, northwest and east of the city, but after the founding ......of the People's Republic of China, it intercepts the flow and repairs the reservoir, and it is dry."

"That's it?"

"Of course it's more than that...... Lu Yuan, do you recall, the terrain around the Forbidden City? ”

After studying for half a lifetime, why do you need to recall?

Sitting on the mountain and looking at the water, the mountain is both Jingshan, the Forbidden City is north, the water is thistle, the Forbidden City is south, and there are lakes in the southeast, east and northwest......

Well...... Sitting on the mountain and looking at the water?

Look here again...... Can not see. But according to Li Ding'an: the mountain is due north, and the water is due south......

Lu Benzhi raised the telescope again: The mountain is too short, I really can't see it, I don't know if there were three lakes before, but there must have been one in the northwest of the ancient city.

Pretty big?

Compared with the Forbidden City, that location happens to be the largest of the three seas in the Forbidden City......

"Anything else?"

"Look at the side length...... It is 92 meters long from north to south and 74 meters wide from east to west. ”

Xiao Jianzhi gradually became suspicious: "If you don't care about the error between Tang and Ming, just count 'zhang', here is more than the Forbidden City...... A hundred times smaller? ”

Lu Benzhi also reacted: The Forbidden City is 300 zhang long from north to south, and 240 zhang wide from east to west.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, look at the terrain: dry (northwest) high, kun (southeast) low...... Exactly the same as the Forbidden City! ”

Li Ding'an pointed to the southeast and northwest corners, "Look at these two corners, are they missing corners?" ”

Lu Benzhi raised the telescope...... That's right, the southeast and northwest are not sharp corners, but oblique flat angles, like a knife each.

Coincidentally, the Forbidden City was also built like this?

But one place is a coincidence, and everywhere can it be a coincidence?

Lu Benzhi turned his head in surprise: "How do you see it?" ”

Li Dingan smiled: "These are not enough? ”

Of course not enough.

If you rely on these three points alone, it is at most an image, not an exact one.

So, after the wind had stopped, he sat on the top of Mount Baogda and watched the stars for two whole nights, and then took a probe to explore the inside and outside of the ancient city and around it.

The left and right two feudal stars are fifteen, and the two bows are combined, embracing the wall......

There are one hundred and eight stars in it, thirty in the north and south, twenty-four in the east and west, one hundred and eight stars in the middle of the sky, and a total length of one hundred and eight zhang in the palace wall.

Turning over the geographies, restoring the former site of the Xilin River, and then calculating: the water is out of the kun, the confluence is in the dry, the Gengzi belongs to the soil, and the water and soil are the same hexagram...... The feng shui pattern of Mingtang in this ancient city is: Xin Ren will gather and gather Chen.

It happened that the wind was strong enough to blow out the missing corners of the southeast and northwest, and Li Dingan was even more sure:

"Su Wen: Yin and Yang should be like the Great Treatise": The sky is not enough in the northwest, and the earth is not in the southeast......

"Huainanzi Tianwen Xun": The former worked together and fought for the emperor, and they were angry and could not touch the mountain, the heavenly pillar was broken, and the earth was overwhelmed...... Therefore, the sky is tilted to the northwest, and the earth is overwhelming to the southeast......

At this point, it is all right: Ziwei is missing in the south and trapped in the north...... The purple micro wall of the three major walls.

Guo Pu's "Funeral Sutra" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Yang Yi's "Shaking the Dragon Sutra" of the Tang Dynasty are available, also known as "Dragon Water Lianzhu".

However, it was used to build the imperial city in the Ming Dynasty: after the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital, the design and supervision were Yao Guangxiao......

Therefore, I can't figure it out: a small broken city from the Tang Dynasty to the Fifth Dynasty uses the feng shui layout of the forbidden cave in the imperial capital?

What's weird is that it can not only be in harmony with the heavens, but also down to geography?

What's even more strange is that since there is a royal city, there must have been big people here, but Li Dingan didn't find it after rummaging through the materials......

After thinking about it, Director Xiao pinched his chin: "It doesn't feel right, there are no three doors and five floors in the south, and there is no central axis?" ”

He refers to the noon gate directly south of the royal city, if compared with the Forbidden City, the three doors should be opened, and the fifth floor should be built, which is the "Ninety-Five Honor".

The central axis is the meridian, and all "cities" in ancient times must have it.

"We have to dig it."

"What do you mean?"

Li Ding'an pointed down: "What we see is not the foundation of the wall, but the head of the city...... The rest is buried under the sand! ”

What's that?

This place...... Is it a dungeon? (End of chapter)
