When we arrived at Weizhuang, it was almost dusk, and some scattered cave dwellings appeared in front of everyone. Along the way, we saw many such cave dwellings that were built on the mountain, or on the flat ground, or sunk into the ground to form a large well-style courtyard. One hole, one row, as far back as 4000 years ago, people living on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi Province had the custom of digging holes to live.Because the loess on the plateau is sticky and hard, it is not easy to collapse.The cave dwellings are all built on the mountain, and the soil is dug horizontally on the natural soil wall to dig holes. The construction is simple, convenient for self-construction, low in cost, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The cave dwellings are attached to the loess, and there is a sense of desolation. The six people in front saw many rows of cave dwellings, which were built in a concentrated manner. It was slowly getting dark, the six of them needed to find a place to live, after some discussion, they decided to find a place to live in the newest and most respectable family in the cave dwelling, when they came to the cave dwelling, the door was ajar, Xiao Ning took the lead Called: "Is there anyone? We want to stay overnight."

There was no response from inside, Lei Zi said: "It seems that there is no one, let's find another one."

At this moment, there was a rustling inside, and the sound of fine footsteps came over, and Tang Sancheng couldn't understand a word of Xi'an dialect, but he heard Lei Zi talking to the people inside, using the It was actually a standard Xi'an dialect, which made Bai Yi look at Lei Zi differently. The people inside heard what Lei Zi said, and walked out quickly. This is an old woman in her sixties, with obviously bad eyesight. Squinting his eyes and looking at the few people in front of him, his face was a little flustered.

Lei Zi slowed down his tone and talked with the old woman, and finally turned around: "She agreed, she is the only one in the house now, and his wife and son and daughter-in-law are out to visit relatives."

Bai Yi took out a ten yuan bill and stuffed it into the old woman's hand: "Old man, this is our accommodation fee."

There was a smile on the old woman's wrinkled face, and she rubbed her hands again, looking embarrassed, although the place is remote, but the folk customs are still simple, the old woman led six people into the cave, Tang Sancheng raised his head, this The cave is more than three meters high and three meters wide. This cave should be newly built. The earthen cave is reinforced with stones to form a stone cave door. When I first came here, I saw that the cave was reinforced with bricks. of.

The cave dwelling extends in all directions, and there are single caves on the left and right, that is, rooms. There are dried peppers, some bacon, and some corn hanging on the wall. The atmosphere of the farmhouse is very strong. The old woman brought six people into a room. There is a kang on the left and right inside, Xiao Ning's expression changed, isn't this letting him live with five big men?

Lei Zi smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, you sleep alone on a kang, let's squeeze together five of us, even though we are in the same room, don't worry, we won't do anything to you."

Xiao Ning threw the bag on the kang: "Dah, stop teasing me!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Bai Yi asked Lei Zi, "You can speak the local dialect. Find out for us. This old man is a bit old at the place where Tang Dynasty porcelain was dug up, so he must know about it."

Lei Zi led away, Tang Sancheng took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, took a map and studied it, the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he was, and when it was over, he patted his knee: "No wonder this is the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties."

"How?" Qixie asked.

"On the map, there are a total of eight rivers surrounding the city in a strange pattern. Do you think it looks like a Bagua map?" Tang Sancheng pointed to the map and said, "Also, between the Qinling Mountains and the Weihe River, there is a clear It is a dragon vein, with its head facing north, drinking the water of the Wei River, and its tail facing south, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, rushing out of the Qinling Mountains, the place we are in is the belly of the dragon vein."

Wu Tong took a deep breath: "So, we are already in the dragon vein now?"

"That's right." Tang Sancheng said, "It's no wonder that you can find porcelain from the Tang Dynasty just by digging here."

Xiao Ning regained his energy: "I think that if you dig a hole here, you can lead to the underground palace."

"No," Bai Yi said, "I think that when the porcelain was dug out, the relevant departments spent manpower and material resources on the excavation, but after a lot of trouble, they didn't find anything. What other mystery? Could it be that a big oolong was made back then?"

"Isn't it? Let's go and find out." Tang Sancheng said disapprovingly. At this moment, Lei Zi came back with a subtle expression on his face. He sat down, and Tang Sancheng was about to ask, he said: "Don't Noisy, let me speak slowly."

This old man not only knows what happened back then, but it was her husband's nephew who discovered it, so he knows all the details. What happened is a bit strange. It is not a miracle to dig a canal to dig out porcelain. Here, you can even dig a field. From ancient coins, the people here know that the place where they live is a geomantic treasure land, and there are many treasures buried in the ground, so the folk tomb robbery is also very popular.

At the beginning, after the Tang Dynasty porcelain was discovered, the relevant departments mobilized a lot of people and horses, and they dug more than 20 meters into the ground with great arrogance. There was nothing but gravel, and two corpses were dug out in the middle, but according to research, the two died only five or six years ago. Hearing this, Bai Yi said: "These two people should be traveling together. They brought it out."

"Yes, that was the common understanding at the time, so it was very exciting at the time. Everyone thought that there must be an ancient tomb underground. The excavation work was carried out for a week, and finally gave up." Lei Zi said: "That place is just behind the place where we live. .”

The cave was dug against the mountain, Bai Yi understood: "Is it the backside of this mountain?"

"That's right." Lei Zi said, "I told the old lady that we are traveling from another place. She has no doubts. When will we go there?"

"Leave early in the morning." Bai Yi said, "Try not to disturb other people."

"It's really strange. You see, the imperial palaces of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are symmetrical. One is on the east side and the other is on the west side. Both are near the 'Dragon Head', which is the highest place in Xi'an. The whole city is a geomantic treasure. Well, it’s no wonder that all the capitals are chosen here. This Tang and Han, one east and one west, occupy the two best positions in the dragon veins. The Han and Tang Dynasties are really not built.” Tang Sancheng was very happy to study with the map: “Southern There are hundreds of valleys, which are the river channels after the mountain river splits the mountain. The ancients meant that all the essence of the mountains and rivers were gathered in the city. In ancient times, Xi'an was called Chang'an, with long-term peace and prosperity, and the existence of this entire city is rare in the world. .”
