Chapter 396: Six Ritual Jade Instruments of the Tang Dynasty
People are like weaving, cars are like dragons.
Bustling, shoulder to shoulder.
A huge windbreak fence rises from the ground and encloses the ancient city in the middle.
The archaeological cabin was built outside the east gate of the ancient city, and the time was in a hurry, and it was not very large, but it was basically enough.
There are a lot of people in it, the people from the investigation team and the CCTV team are there, as well as local departments, and there are a lot of related and irrelevant ones.
A group of people looked left and right, very excited:
"Nearly 10,000 square meters, this city is not small, how can it be buried under the sand?"
"This is a desert area, and the wind is so strong that it's normal for us to be buried...... I've always heard of the ancient city of Loulan and the ancient city of Gaochang, right? ”
"That's XJ, it's different!"
"It's not much worse, and there are many such ancient cities in our province: the black city of Ejina, the bayan city of Bayan...... Alxa is more, and a Xixia ancient city will be blown out at every turn......"
"What about this one, why didn't the League Cultural Relics Bureau find it before?"
"There is no way to blame this, the archaeological technology level of our bureau is indeed limited, and the experience is not enough......"
This one tilted his chin towards Li Ding'an, "Don't think that people are young, and they just turn around casually a few times, and they think this thing is very simple?" He is an authoritative expert on the right things......"
Meaning there must be a few brushes.
But how many?
As soon as I remembered that at the meeting last week, the district reported that Tongliao had discovered a new type of site, which had been officially excavated and planned to apply for the construction of a large-scale scenic spot.
As a result, within a few days, the investigation team came.
When I heard it again, it was the one who discovered the Tongliao ruins who led the team, and I was even more looking forward to it.
As a result, they lived up to expectations and found the ruins of a royal city.
It is not comparable to the large feng shui array, and it is located in a desert area, and the geological and environmental resources are incomparable with Qinglong Mountain.
Don't think about scenic spots, but it's better than nothing.
"There should be artifacts down there, right?"
"There must be, it depends on the number and how much research value there is."
"That's ......"
A group of people talked about it, and the expert group was silent.
At the front, Li Ding'an took a pen, drew a left and right, and with little effort, he constructed the layout of the main buildings inside and outside the royal city.
Of course, it was just drawn according to his conjecture, whether it was the same or not, and you will know when you dig it out.
"Zhou Li, Examination of the Gongji": Guozhong (Imperial City) nine longitudes and nine latitudes, nine tracks of warp Tu, left ancestor and right society, the front and the back of the city...... But looking at this fart big place, don't think about it anymore, and the city definitely doesn't have it.
But there are still three halls and meridians of heaven, earth and man in the city...... There must also be Sheji altar and Taimiao outside the city, and it is estimated that there are also moats and outer Guo...... Let's dig in these places first......"
"Good!"
Lu Benzhi nodded, handed the map to Director Xiao and Director Cheng, and after a while, the roar of the machine came from outside the fence.
The technician led the workers into various areas of the ancient city one after another, divided the exploration side, and arranged personnel.
It's quite troublesome: for fear of damaging the building, the city will definitely not dare to use machinery, and will not dare to let it in, and most of it will have to rely on manpower. Large machinery and the like can only be used as auxiliaries.
Fortunately, there are enough workers, and the division of labor among each group is clear and orderly.
The side was lively again, discussing how many halls could be dug up and how many cultural relics could be dug up.
Li Dingan held his chin and frowned.
I just thought that he was worried that there were not enough things dug up, but Deputy Yan patiently enlightened: "It is an empty city, and it is also an empty city in the Tang Dynasty, it must have research value, and Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about it......"
Li Dingan shook his head: Where would he worry about this?
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, no matter how small and simple this city is, there are still three halls and two temples.
Nine times out of ten it is rammed earth and bricks, but the preservation should not be bad, enough for local research for a period of time. It is also possible to dig up some small types of cultural relics, and it is easy to build a museum.
He was worried about the magic circle.
"Don't be discouraged!" Lu Benzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Since it's not here, it's somewhere else, and sooner or later you can find it!" ”
Other places...... No way.
In the land of the ocean, the water is the real dragon...... The Xilin River leads straight to here, and it "gathers water into a lake" here, indicating that the place where the dragon vein is knotted is here.
Look at Yanshan and Yinshan again, the branches and feet of the southern dragon are entangled, and the northern dragon looks back at Gu Zu, which is 100% of the place of "double dragon sand crossing, surrounding and hugging acupoints" in feng shui.
And this small ancient city also confirms this: the Tang people of unknown origin know that this is the dragon's lair, and the royal city is built here, so there is no reason why the Yuan people who drive feng shui and lead the dragon vein can't see it?
So Li Ding'an is nine out of nine, and the magic circle is here.
But he was afraid that the people who set up the formation would really take advantage of this small city to set up the formation according to local conditions.
All kings are arrays, and they should be in the way of heaven, and they should be transported to the earth and neutralize the hearts of the people.
What if one of the conditions is not met, such as geography does not correspond to celestial phenomena?
Easy to do, artificially created.
For example, the Forbidden City: According to the geography of feng shui, the former site of the Yuan capital is the most suitable for the heavens, but it is not in line with the number of Ming Qi. So, Zhu Di demolished the Dadu Palace, cut off the remnants of the Great Yuan, forcibly changed a piece of land with nothing, and built a Forbidden City that should fit the geography of the heavens:
The backing mountain (Jingshan) is piled up with soil, the dragon pond (three lakes outside the palace) is dug out, surrounded by double dragons, and the feng shui pattern of jade belt wrapped around the waist (moat and river in the city) is all man-made......
To put it bluntly: Wangcheng is originally for the dragon to draw qi, will inevitably be the application of celestial phenomena, geography, feng shui knowledge to the fullest, the layout is absolutely reasonable, the halls, the building, the inner city, the outer Guo and so on are absolutely in line with the celestial phenomena and geography.
If you use this to drive the dragon to draw air, you don't need to set up a new formation at all, you only need to make a little key arrangement.
For example, let the qi vein turn and let the dragon vein turn around...... There is no need to bury any magic weapons, even if you have them, there are only one or two pieces to support your head.
But there is no way...... How useful are the ruins?
Do I really love to carry forward the style and make contributions?
Li Dingan touched his face that had just been scabbed, and his mood was like the north wind outside the cabin, inexhaustibly desolate.
Simply?
……
Human creativity is limitless.
Q: How long does it take to dig 8,000 square meters of sand to a depth of five meters?
The answer is two days.
As soon as the basketball-thick pipe is inserted into the sand, the sand is sucked in, and then pumped through the pipe into the square bucket truck outside the windbreak.
Only those who can't be sucked are dug by people, and the dozens of meters long conveyor belt roars, and baskets of gravel and clods of soil are transported out.
The royal city is gradually clear.
Li Ding'an wants to cry without tears: the nine gates of the inner city are the respect of the ninety-five, the fifteen gates of the outer Guo should be the fifteenth star of Ziwei, and the twenty-eighth floor should be twenty-eight stars......
Look at the city again: the son is straight at noon, the sky is dry, the sun is away, the sun and the moon, the former father and the stepmother, the left and the right...... Nothing less.
Moreover, this city was built more positively than the Forbidden City (the meridian of the Forbidden City is offset by two degrees and ten).
The key thing is that the thieves are intact, not to mention the collapse of the main body, even the spine dragons of the three major halls are complete. So, why do you need any magic weapons?
Others were delighted.
The experts grinded their fists: they don't like to study the Forbidden City, but the "Forbidden City" in the Tang Dynasty has really not been studied.
The leaders were elated: It is so well preserved, if you check the origin, it is more than enough to build a "Tang Dynasty Wangdu Ruins Park".
The investigation team was also very impressed: Li Ding'an was just looking for ancient tombs before, but now he has begun to look for the "ancient city"?
After a while, will he be able to find some "ancient capital" or something?
It's not an exaggeration, with his ability to rob the tomb world, he is definitely a figure at the level of "Master Zu......
The three families were happy and one was sad, and Li Dingan could only force a smile.
"Li Ding'an, look ......"
Yu Huiyin ran over with her mobile phone, "What is this?" ”
He looked: it was a photo, and in the photo was ...... A bouquet of silk flowers?
The white ones are like narcissus, the yellow ones are like lilies, the red ones are like the moon, and the ones are yellow-brown, and they are long like sticks, and they look like water candles.
There are branches and leaves, lifelike, and at first glance, there is no difference from real flowers.
Li Dingan pretended to be curious: "Where did you come from?" ”
"Guess?"
Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Yu Huiyin was extremely happy, "Digging out of the apse, we were startled at the time, and we thought we had entered the curtain thieves." Later, Mr. Zhu (an expert in the Forbidden City) explained that we learned that silk cloth had been used to arrange flowers during the Sui Dynasty...... And ......"
Yu Huiyin flipped through it and pulled out a photo of a colorful tall bowl, "This is dug up from the Taimiao Temple outside the city, Teacher Zhu said that this is a tall bowl used to hold ice cream in the Tang Dynasty, and it is cream ice cream...... Tang Dynasty? ”
"Ah, was there cream ice cream in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ding looked surprised, "It's really amazing!" ”
"I think it'...... too"
Yu Huiyin was even happier, and left in a hurry, "I'll shoot you a little more!" ”
When she walked away, Shu Jing looked at Li Dingan with disdain, with a look of disgust.
Can he not know that in the Tang Dynasty, there were silk flowers and cream ice cream?
No kidding......
He just coaxed Miss Yu to be happy.
"Impolite?"
Li Ding'an glared at her: "This is Tang Sancai's high-footed cup, the sacrificial vessel of the Eight Classics, ask me, have you found anything similar?" ”
"I asked before, and together with the tall cup, I also dug up a three-color plate and a remnant of a Qi (sacrificial water vessel)!"
"Huh, bronze?"
"Bronze!"
"Does Tang Sancai have it again?"
"Yes, there are nearly hundreds of fragments unearthed, but this one is intact!"
"Hundreds of Tang Sancai porcelain pieces, put them together, how can there be more than a dozen pieces...... The identity of the city lord is not simple, huh? ”
Even in the Tang Dynasty, three-color porcelain is also a treasure, and it is not available for non-princes and nobles......
"Then why don't you take a look?"
Li Dingan thought for a while: "I'm not going." ”
Tang Sancai is indeed rare, and bronze ritual vessels in the Tang Dynasty are even rarer. But when he thought that there might not be a feng shui magic weapon here, and he didn't know where the next feng shui array was, he couldn't be interested at all.
Shaking his head, Li Dingan pointed to the location of the middle hall again: "Xiao Fang, go find Director Xiao, if there are enough people, clean up this piece as soon as possible!" ”
"Good!"
Zuo Peng walked away quickly, and Wang Yongqian looked through the glass: "Is there any mystery?" ”
"If the Feng Shui Circle is built using the royal city, it is estimated that it will be near the left side of the central hall, but it will not be much."
Li Ding'an sighed, "It's enough to erect a few pillars." ”
"Bronze pillars?"
What good do you think?
You can't even use an iron pillar, or even an iron-clad stone core.
"Stone at most!"
Wang Yongqian nodded: "It really doesn't mean much!" ”
Look, even Director Wang can't look down on it?
Secretly sighing, Fang Zhijie hurriedly entered the cabin again: "Teacher Li, Director Xiao said that he dug up something from the Taimiao again......"
"What did you dig up?"
"More than 100 pieces of Tang porcelain remnants, including celadon bowls, Xing kiln plates, and seven bottles of three-color ladies...... Among them is a three-color printed figure water urn, 60 centimeters high, 30 base diameter, 45 abdominal diameter ......"
"So big?" Li Dingan was stunned, "It's not broken?" ”
Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such a large porcelain is already a large vessel in the shape of a large vessel, not to mention a Tang Sancai ritual vessel?
If it goes to auction, 350 million is easy.
"It's broken, it's broken into five or six pieces!"
Li Dingan just stepped forward and took it back: What can I see if that?
"Keep digging!"
"Also, Director Cheng cleared out a few pieces of jade from the Sheji altar, and preliminarily inferred that they should be Bi, Cong, Qi, Zhang, Amber, and Huang...... And it's all in perfect condition......"
Good fellow, the gift of heaven jade...... And a whole set?
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, this kind of ritual utensils, there are very few in the Ming Dynasty, and only the jade of the Qing Dynasty can be put together into a complete set.
And thanks to Li Ding'an: if he hadn't retrieved Amber and Huang from XJ, the Qing Dynasty wouldn't have been able to make it up......
Li Ding'an finally had some spirit: "Go and see!" (End of chapter)
