Chapter 60: Concealment of the Sky from the Sea
In addition, there are some sporadic records, all from the side to confirm the matter, this by the grave robbers painstakingly constructed, hidden in the Shu “tomb museum”, which collects the dynasties in the ancient mound of the rare and exotic treasures, not only so, which is very likely to exist in the Western Zhou period of the ancient trigrams of the secret weapon.
So Professor Sun on the report, requesting approval from his superiors to organize a group of experts, specifically to go to Sichuan to look for “ground immortal village”, the results were many people duty that he is whimsical, “Guanshan Taibao” is nothing more than folklore, at present, manpower and funds are very tight, how can At present, manpower and funds are very tight, how can we rely on some catching news, spend manpower and resources to find a non-existent tomb? This is not in line with the principles of our work.
Professor Sun touched the nail, was said to be a psychopath, had to bear down, secretly collect information, every business trip to Sichuan, will always make time to walk the countryside, to inquire about the investigation, but with the gradual in-depth contact, he found that the “Guanshan Tomb” of the specific location is simply nowhere to be found.
It is said that China’s traditional industry dominates the “gold touching lieutenant”, skilled in “searching for dragons, searching for mountains, gold fixed points”, and Guanshan Taibao’s “Guanshan finger fans” way, but also out of the latter Han Dynasty! “Fachu touch gold” generation handed down the ancient art, the mastery of the Qingwu geomancy is unfathomable, and “Guanshan Taibao” is originally a master in the grave robbing line, they built the tomb burglary prevention means is certainly not common people can not imagine, and even people can not find the exact location, probably even after thousands of years, they will not be able to find the exact location. Even after thousands of years, the mystery of the “Ancient Mound of the Earth Immortal” is still just a folk legend.
Professor Sun in order to find the “Earth Immortal City” this tomb museum, quite a lot of hard work, but ultimately nothing, he will be over the years from the folk collection and collation, about the Ming Dynasty grave robbers “Guanshan Taibao” information, all recorded in this working notes, and finally a little disheartened. At the end of some discouragement.
But in the process of researching “Guanshan Taibao”, he learned from the countryside, as well as a variety of historical materials on the square, many ancient tomb raiding activities of the secret, know that the world since ancient times, there is no one who does not die, there is no mound that does not hair, as long as it is an ancient tomb, sooner or later there will be digging grave robbers to open the day of the tomb raiding, the art of grave robbing, is nothing more than The art of grave-robbing is nothing more than “looking, smelling, asking and cutting”.
“Look” refers to the geomancy situation, through the “upper view of the stars, the lower review of the earth’s veins” to determine the location and layout of the tomb, which requires insight into the mountains, rivers and the sun, moon and stars of the pulse, extremely esoteric Pang refutation, is not an ordinary grave robbers can master; in addition, this In addition, the method of “looking at the tomb” can also observe the differences in the “ground surface, soil and vegetation” to look for the tomb, also known as “observing the mud marks and recognizing the color of the grass”.
The word “smell” can also be divided into two methods. There is a kind of person who is gifted with a special talent and has an extremely sharp sense of smell, so that he can recognize the special smell in the deep mountains and old forests through his nose; “Smell” also refers to the sharp ear of the grave robbers who have practiced to the point that “chickens wait for the morning and dogs keep watch at night”. If you have practiced to the level of “chickens wait for the morning and dogs keep watch at night”, you can listen to the sounds of nature and deduce the situation of the underground, and for those who have an ordinary ear, you can also make use of tools, such as burying urns in the ground and recognizing the acupuncture points by ear, “urn listening method”.
It is said that “ask” is through the local natives “consultation”, from the side to understand the information and orientation of the ancient tombs, good luck, there will be unexpected results; and “ask” another way There is a more mysterious way, it is said that ancient grave robbers can be deduced through divination to determine the structure of the tomb and the fate of the tomb, but this technique was extinct a long time ago, and no one knows about it anymore.
The last is the “cut” trick, which is mainly about the various ways for grave robbers to excavate ancient tombs, how to “avoid the real and avoid the virtual” by utilizing various tools to excavate the robber’s holes, and how to divide the gold to determine the points and attack the central palace, and how to use a long hoe and a big shovel to uncover the roof of the sky, and how to apply the art of driving away the beasts. “through the mountain cave mausoleum armor”.
Professor Sun know to know, but this “look, smell, ask, cut” art, more than a few thousand years of the rummage tips, perhaps in the folk can inquire about these things, but really want to learn these skills, not real teaching, is completely impossible to master, not to mention most of the tomb raiding skills are lost for a long time.
According to this point, almost should die heart, but Sun Xuewu character paranoia, to recognize the things extra persistent, he “not to the Yellow River heart will not die, do not see the coffin will not fall tears”, is still no black and white sleep and sleep want to look for the “Immortal”, want to peep! “Xuan Gui Lou” in the ancient trigrams hidden in the sky.
Maybe it is really “the yellow sky is not responsible for those who have a heart”, Professor Sun in the process of a collation of ancient literature, accidentally learned a secret history, in the period of King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a South China Sea dragon fire calcined ancient tripod, tripod on the trigrams mirror trigram symbols, the ancient tripod from the return to the ruins of the material is a rare artifacts in the bronze, due to the tripod in the sea gas condensation, its copper The nature of the millennium and not lost, the longer the age of the copper color of the dark green deeper.
Ancient tripod inlaid on the trigrams, trigrams mirror, are the essence of the Western Zhou period of candlelight trigrams, you can use the bronze in the sea gas, deduction of the funeral, ancient superstitious feng shui in the “situation of gas”, which is the most important is the “gas”, that is, the so-called dragon vein of the “Anger”, the “mirage” phenomenon on the sea, mostly due to the sea gas changes born, the sea gas in the ruins that is the “dragon vein dragon gas”, the ruins of the ancient tripod on any one of the fragments The ancient tripod of the ruins of any piece of debris on the tomb, can be ordinary tombs, into the “angry condensation of feng shui”, and the tripod on the trigram mirror, more can be used to speculate on the direction of the tomb.
Professor Sun began to not believe that there really is a “ruins of the ancient tripod”, but the slightest examination of the trail, only to know that this is not empty talk, but this tripod had been buried as a companion with the king of Zhou Mu Wang, and later Zhou Mu Wang mausoleum was dug up, found that the tripod has been shattered by lightning, trigrams mirror and the four ancient symbols were taken, and then scattered all over the place.
Historically, tomb robbers “ask the sky divining trigrams” to find the tomb of the legend, probably from the “ancient tripod”, it is said that the ruins of the trigrams on the mirror on the machine barge complicated Austrian, through the trigrams of the guide, will be able to according to the surrounding changes in the gathering of anger to present different trigrams, Prof. Sun knows that Zhou Tian trigrams, a total of sixteen, the ancient tripod only “dragon, ghosts, people, fish” four, specifically to view the yin and yang qi points used to want to use this to crack the Western Zhou’s dragon bone trigrams, although not very practical, but this is an important breakthrough, with his decades of dedication to the study of the accumulation of the ancient secret symbols, I asked myself how much more certainty can be deciphered four trigrams! Presented the trigrams, as long as there is this ancient bronze mirror with infinite mysteries, there may be a chance to find the “Earth Immortal City”.
But up to this point, these ideas are only Professor Sun’s mind a “pavilion in the air”, after the ruins of the ancient tripod shattered, the copper tripod was melted and recast as a furnace, trigrams mirror is the whereabouts of the unknown, they are ancient people in the eyes of the “feng shui secret weapon”, God knows whether it is By which knowledgable tomb owners with long sleep underground, Professor Sun no wealth and power, only by their own strength, want to re-collect them, and how easy it is.
However, there is “the will of God is unpredictable, the most coincidental”, but also coincidental, but also really let him wait for the opportunity, two years ago Professor Sun to Inner Mongolia on business, lodging time, a herdsman talked to him about a very strange thing, at that time, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia have been sandy and serious, but there is a piece of sandy grass on the ground of the grass but exceptionally lush, from afar look like a green meadow, and the grass was very thick, and the grass was very thick, and the grass was very thick, and the grass was very thick. Like a green meadow, the area is not very large, about dozens of meters.
This meadow hides a lot of weasels, groups of in and out, extremely sneaky manner, once upon a time the local herdsmen rarely seen weasels, thought this omen is ominous, on the appointment with a large number of herding dogs and shotguns to go to kill, the grassland herding dogs are the most skilled at capturing gophers, catching up with the weasels are not inferior, less than a day’s work, the size of the bite dead hundreds of weasels, the body is littered all over the place.
After the cleanup, the herdsmen began to peel the weasel’s skin tube, there are also some people light a fire to burn the grass, one of them see the inside of the earth nest, there is a bronze dragon artifacts, does not seem to be worth anything, and do not know is an antique, casually hung in the mount as a decorative accessory, and would like to think of a few days to go to the flag to catch up with the market, brought to the supply house for a bit of paper cigarettes.
Professor Sun is a person with a heart, heard the news, without saying a word to the supply house overnight to buy a cigarette, ask the herdsman who picked up the eyeless dragon charm, no effort to change this thing back, secretly collected, the first Gua Rune, was his blind cat hit on the dead rats like to get his hands on.
Since then, Professor Sun Gua mirror of the ancient talisman more attentive, but has not been the whereabouts of the rest of the several pieces of the secret weapon, until not long ago there were some eyebrows, it turned out that the “Gua mirror” has long been in the late Qing Dynasty into the outside world, and in a smuggling route, sunk into the sea with the ship, Sun Xuewu know his old friend Professor Chen has overseas relations, made up a lie, told Professor Chen sunk into the sea, the first time, he was a good man, but he did not know that he was a good man. Told Professor Chen sank into the sea is one of the eight mirrors of the King of Qin “King of Qin mirror”, is a valuable national treasure, let Professor Chen find ways to find someone to salvage.
That behind the trigram mirror are dense symbols and graphics, very fine and complex, the collector is worried about wear and tear, but also in order to make the bronze mirror in the sea of lasting cohesion, it is stored in a fire paint cover, Sun Xuewu has long been informed of this matter in advance, but hidden from the sky and the sea, told Prof. Chen said: “that is due to the mirror of the bones of a thousand years to suppress the corpse, the mirror of the hidden especially exist, not to illuminate the face of the human being. ”
Sun Xuewu know shipwrecked in the middle of the sea, not easy to salvage, he used Professor Chen’s relationship to salvage the ruins of the trigram mirror, also stored “plan things in people, into is in the sky” idea, did not hold too much hope, I can not think of really from the South China Sea intact to retrieve the ancient mirror, it is an unexpected pleasure, did not hand over the hand, but secretly hidden in the Home, secretly analyze the mirror back of the trigrams, Professor Chen work in the United States during the treatment delayed a lot of work, always busy after returning to China, and his old friend convinced, willingly find national treasures of credit to Sun Xuewu, never asked him whether he has been offered to the national treasures, and do not know that the South China Sea mirror is not at all the “King of the Qin Dynasty mirror”. “.
Four ancient symbols of the copper fish, after thousands of years, still embedded in the ancient mirror has not been separated, Sun Xuewu even dreamed that the two symbols of a mirror has come to their own hands, it seems that they should be their own “not a sound, a sound of surprise”, now only one person and a ghost of the two copper symbols, to get all of these things, you can go into the river to open the Guanshan Tomb, the Gua Gua of the week The secret of the number seems to be close at hand.
Professor Sun recently learned that, before liberation, some people from the hands of Hunan grave robbers to buy a number of cultural relics, in the people for many years, fortunately not crippled and lost, not long ago by the patriotic compatriots donated, is currently traveling around the country exhibition, including by the return to the market of the ancient tripod into the casting of the furnace, as well as the other two bronze gua symbols, and in the casting of the furnace, but also will be the ancient tripod from the tomb of the king of Zhou Mu excavated, as well as the tripod body The original shape, one by one in the Dan furnace cast a graphic record.
Professor Sun happened to return to Beijing at that time, see this batch of antiquities on display in Tianjin, will no longer be able to hold back, he would have been withdrawn, even did not even ask for a vacation, rushed directly to the museum to see exactly, but in the museum’s exhibition room from a distance to see how can be addictive? And also do not want to let anyone know that he has been studying the ruins of the ancient tripod for many years, so can not be contacted through the official channels, so I do not do it, do not rest, in the middle of the night to sneak into the museum, the inscriptions on the furnace and the graphics are transcribed, and would like to peep from the “Gua Fu, Gua Mirror,” the use of the method.
The last few pages of the notebook are all the inscriptions and patterns on the furnace, but only half of it stops, and this notebook, which contains the secrets of Prof. Sun, has no further content.
I think at that time happened to be I bumped into, Professor Sun fear of exposing his identity, hurriedly fled the museum, he was negligent, but his most important notebook was left at the scene.
I read after closing the work record book, cold snort, scolded: “This old boy usually pretend to be a serious, in fact, the whole on a black background, hidden than the Guanshan Taibao also deep, really fucking old treacherous and slippery, and even take the Hu master as a gun to make, I have never let anyone so played in my life, in the waves and waves in the head of the head of the birth of the dead to go back and forth, and nearly threw his life in the South China Sea, if not for this moment to see this, I would not let people so play, in the waves and waves in the head of the head of the death, and almost throw the life in the The South China Sea, if not this moment to see this change of day account, up to now still have to be in the dark by him – with the stupid child like to think that he is for the country’s success, but he fart to hide the loud, but can not hide the stink, only hand to cover up the sky of the conspiracy and trickery will eventually be exposed when, since I know the truth, will let him eat and take a pocket to go. ”
Shirley Yang shook his head and said: “You do not rush to anger, I see this matter may not be so simple, I am afraid that there is still a hidden meaning is not known.”
I pointed to the notebook to Shirley Yang said: “Now the facts are all there, also do not need to find Professor Chen to confront him face to face, as long as the work of this record to get in front of him, the amount of he would not dare not to tell the truth, but also what is hidden?”
Shirley Yang said: “Professor Sun in the career has always been unsuccessful, he secretly research trigram mirror trigrams, mostly helpless, I’m afraid that just do not want to let others interfere with his research results, in addition to the museum exhibits of antiquities are all anti-products, this matter you and I did not know that Professor Sun should have long been aware of the fact that he took advantage of no one late at night to sneak into the museum to look at the fakes, seems to be not a big deal. It seems to be no big deal, copper man copper ghost two real ancient talisman, have been the cultural relics department income warehouse, I think even if Professor Sun this status of scholars, in the absence of formal authorization, it is also very difficult to access those national treasures, would like to use the four talismans and a mirror to explore the concept of the Earth Immortal Village can not be realized in the end, sooner or later, he will be in the hands of the copper mirror copper talisman intact to Zhao.”
