The whole distance is not too far, a few hundred kilometers away. We drove all the way five or six hours before we arrived at the place. At that time, it was not Qiyang City, but just a larger county town.

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.

After driving all the way, I discussed it for a long time. Qiyang is a place with lush trees and undulating hills. The most important thing is.

There is water.

It is surrounded by water on three sides, with Baijiang River in the south, Qi River in the north, and Qingjiang River in the east. The mountains account for about half of the total area of ​​the county town. With such a good Feng Shui trend, there will naturally be no fewer ancient tombs in the territory, but most of them have been stolen.

I stayed in a small hotel in the county town to rest in the evening. Tomorrow morning, my head and I would go to check the spot first. If we confirm that there is no problem and can do it, the fish brother Douyazi and the others will go there later.

“Oh, comfortable”

With hot water scalding your feet, most of the fatigue of the day suddenly disappeared.

"Fengzi, look! Is that OK?"

"No, it's still far from it, keep wiping."

Douyazai frowned and continued to work hard to wipe my Luoyang shovel.

I promised to give Douyazai two hundred yuan and ask him to help me maintain the Luoyang shovel. The Luoyang shovel is like a car. It must be maintained regularly or comprehensively whether it is used or not.

My shovel was made by Kong Lao Xie, Luoyang. I dare say that it is the number one in the world, and it is more than ten times stronger than the Luoyang shovel used by provincial archaeological teams, so I have always maintained my shovel regularly.

Maintenance is mainly about scrubbing and then applying oil. I have always had a small bottle of "No. 26 white oil". This No. 26 white oil is said to be cosmetic grade white oil. Using this oil to maintain the Luoyang shovel can make it never rust.

"Okay! This is so bright that it can even show human faces!" Dou Yezai said loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Ya Zai, why are you so impatient in your work? Take it to me and take a look."

"Come on, my little baby!"

I took the shovel and kissed it. As Douyazi said, there was no dirt at all, and the shiny one could indeed reveal the face.

I unscrewed the mineral water and poured it a little on the shovel, and the water droplets almost instantly fell to the ground.

This phenomenon shows that the white oil forms a smooth protective layer on the metal surface. I nodded with satisfaction and took out two hundred yuan from my pocket and handed it to Douyazai.

"Oh! Thank you Brother Feng! I'll find me next time I'll do this job! You'll be satisfied with my job!" Douyazai immediately took the money, and his face was filled with joy.

I sat on the sofa and danced the shovel twice, and saw that under the light, it was like a sword and a sabre shadow, and the cold light flashed.

The more I play, the more I like it. I used to call this shovel a Xiangshao. I don’t think it’s good now. It should be called “Qinglong shovel”, just like the second master’s Qinglong Yanyue Sword, the god blocks the gods and the Buddha blocks.

If you kill Buddha, I won’t sell anyone who can open a million dollars for me.

"Put your head."

"Yunfeng, why are you still so playful like a child?" He sat down next to me and said, "I thought about it, let's try not to attract the attention of the villagers tomorrow, it's better to disguise yourself."

I told me carefully, and I put down the shovel and kept nodding when I heard it.

The next day, I rode a broken tricycle and pulled my head and a truck of hay to Chaozhushan Village, Lijia Town. The grass we pulled was called "mat grass". It is used to weave straw mats. Qiyang cool mats are a local specialty. They lie on them in summer and don't sweat at all. It's very cool. Nearly twenty years ago, there were still many people planting mat grass. Unfortunately, no one seems to plant it now, and the straw mat field in the town has long been closed.

"Sister! Is there any grass sold at home?"

"Grass?"

"Yes! We're the mattress!" I laughed.

"Then you collected it too early. Even if the new grass comes down in October, what month will it be?"

"Haha, sister, you misunderstood. We collected the old grass from previous years. Didn't we order it at home? I'll give you six dollars per pound if I do it!"

The village woman was eating melon seeds and said, "My hay has been sold out long ago, but you are low on the six dollars. In previous years, it was at least eight dollars."

"Sister, you also know that the market has fallen a little this year. By the way, Sister, where is that Mercury Bridge? Let's go and take a walk."

My elder sister pointed in the direction, thanked me and rushed over.

As we walked and stopped, we collected dozens of kilograms of hay in the village, which did not arouse the doubts of the villagers at all. If there were people from this village, we might have some impression of me and Jae Tou.

There has always been a legend in the local area that after Chen Youliang was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, he was reincarnated as a baby with the help of a Taoist priest. The woman who was pregnant with this baby lived in Chaozhushan Village.

After Liu Bowen calculated, he calculated that in order to eliminate the roots, he sent someone to kill the woman, peeled off the unborn baby from his belly, poured the body deep into the ground with mercury, and built a stone bridge on it to suppress it, hence the name "Mercury Bridge."

After doing this, Liu Bowen knelt down and worshiped his lord Zhu Yuanzhang, so this place was originally called "Chaozhu Village". To this day, there is still a deserted and dilapidated temple on the mountain called "Chaozhu Temple".

Of course, these are all unofficial histories and legends that are circulated among the people, and they are not very credible. As soon as Chatou and I arrived here, we saw the Mercury Bridge. Under the bridge was a small river, on the left are several villagers' homes, and on the right are a large forest.

It was noon at this time, and the villagers basically took a nap at home after dinner, while they were not

People noticed that we quietly entered the woods and began to carefully search for the marks left by Renhuye.

Soon, we saw a circle of small stones placed on the ground under a big tree, which were obviously placed by man.

I looked around, looked up again, frowned and said, "It should be here, but why can't I see any sign of the seal here?"

"This is why we survived here." Frown his head and said, "It is likely that the tomb owner deliberately did not leave a seal on the surface for safety. Yunfeng, you can use this tree as the middle boundary line, and I will take a look at a few pits."

"good."

Putting my head aside, I quickly picked up the Luoyang shovel and started to look into the pit underground.

soon.

"Hey head, no! It's seven or eight meters!"

"Let's go! Master Hu doesn't sell that kind of fake one. The earlier the time, the deeper the tomb is buried."

I naturally know this principle. Now I am afraid that I can buy the head a little fake, so that we will lose a lot of money!

After going down one meter deep, I lifted the shovel and saw the soil layer brought out, and I was immediately overjoyed.

Have performed!

Among the soil blocks brought out, you can clearly see some "little white spots" and I got closer and smelled them.

That's right, this is 100% white paste mud.

I continued to look down again, and when I saw it, I brought large pieces of white paste mud.

I was shocked.

White paste mud was expensive in ancient times. It was extravagant to protect the white paste mud in ordinary tombs. Unlike this, they were all large pieces of white paste mud. I observed that the thickness of the white paste mud underneath would not be less than ten centimeters.

What does this mean?

Two words.

Big tomb!

Moreover, it may be that a prince was buried here

I concluded that this was definitely not from the Western Han Dynasty. Some large tombs in the Western Han Dynasty sometimes produced white paste mud, but remember that there were small stones in the white paste mud in the Western Han Dynasty, but there was no white paste mud in the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was very pure.

I squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette. After resting for a few minutes, I shot eight pits around me. I wanted to determine how big the actual area of ​​this tomb is and where its boundary line is.

After finishing the pit, my heart was pounding when I saw it.

If all the pits are connected by wire, it is obviously a "A" shape.

This confirms my guess. There is a large tomb of the princes and kings underground, but this tomb is rare without a mound of seals.

I don't know how the person who sold the spot found it here. In short, if the underground is a pit, then our 190,000-yuan flower is worth it! You can return the book by making a decent bronze ware

!

There is a saying in the story, "The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are not divided," which means that the Spring and Autumn Period tombs and the Warring States Period tombs are somewhat similar in regulations.

Remember this feature I mentioned.

If the overall shape of the tomb is "sub-shaped or Ar-shaped," this is the tomb of the princes or kings or great nobles.

If it is in the shape of "Chinese characters", it is the tomb of the king! The tomb of the emperor!

If it is the shape of "Pin", it is the tomb of ordinary well-off families.

If it is a "convex shape", then it is a slut tomb.

That is, Asian, Jia, Middle, Cate, and Convex. Remember these five words, then you can probably know the identity and status of the tomb owner during his lifetime without digging down.

Once you have determined the overall shape of the tomb by looking for the hole and finding the boundary line, you will know which point you should go down from.

It’s like “A tomb”. The vertical below is the tomb passage, and the top is the “field character”. The character “field character is divided into four small grids, right?

According to the situation, under normal circumstances, the coffin is in the small grid in the upper left corner of the character "天". OK, just dig it down from here, and you can accurately hit the main tomb with rich burial objects.

For example, "Chinese-shaped tomb", both ends of this tomb are tomb passages, and there is a stone gate in the middle. If you enter through the tomb passage, you will be blocked by the stone gate. But if we find a point above the character "叶" and hit it, we can perfectly avoid the stone gates at both ends of the tomb passages.

The only abnormal thing about the tomb in front of me is that there is no blockade mound. Everything else is as we expected. At this time, I was already fantasizing about what kind of bronze ware would appear in my mind. I dare not think about things like the Four Sheep Square Zun. I would be very happy to have more square and round tripods with inscriptions.

At this time, he said, "Yunfeng, I see an empty house on the east side of the bridge. You go to the village to find the owner's house. We rent that bungalow as a base. If the other party becomes suspicious, what do you know what to say?"

"I just said we will collect hay here and rent a house as a warehouse to use the hay collected."

"Yes, just say that. After you rent it, call Wenbin immediately and ask them to come over quickly."

"Put your head, then do it tonight?"

"Yes," nodded his head and said, "Soldiers are more important than speed."

He immediately said, "This time two geotechnical workers are enough. Let Douyazai and Wenbin dry. I have seen that there are a lot of white paste mud underneath. Yunfeng, you should mainly dry loose soil."

After hearing this, my face collapsed, and I immediately frowned and said, "Put my head, I don't want to dry the soil."

"Why?" asked.

I said tough and said, "No reason! I just don't want to do loose soil!"

After saying that, I thought to myself.

"Just! I want to be the head, how can I still be able to disperse the soil? If I really do it, I will get back."
Chapter completed!
