Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 355 Trapped Dragon Plate

Wei Jimin smiled sincerely and enthusiastically, with a hint of heartfelt gratitude.

Li Ding'an was a little confused.

Think about the things he has done before: coaxing and deceiving...it is indeed a bit unethical.

Put yourself in your shoes, what should I thank you for?

It was polite enough not to beat him out with a stick...

"Director Wei, what's going on?"

"Teacher Li, you don't know?"

Wei Jimin was stunned for a moment, then kept laughing.

“After the National Day, leaders of Baoli Culture Group and Cultural Tourism Group came to inspect, and then met with provincial leaders to conduct in-depth discussions and long-term planning on the development of our province’s tourism economy. The final decision was that we would take the lead and Baoli Investment would , jointly established the 'Liao Province Tourism Culture Group' and formulated a series of strategic plans..."

good guy?

Tourism investment is notoriously heavy on capital and slow to produce results, not to mention that it is a provincial tourism development plan, and “tens of billions” is just the beginning.

But what does it have to do with myself?

"Well...Mr. Wan said that before Teacher Li developed thin-bodied porcelain, they did not consider coming to Liao Province..."

Therefore, the local government must be grateful to Li Ding'an. Without him, it would be a pile of junk.

So far, he still holds several records in China's judicial circles: the largest and most tomb robbing cases before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the leader of the largest tomb robbing gang.

The performance is much higher than that of the Luoyang shovel, and it is truly a new archaeological technology.

It happened to be just after the regulatory committee visited the laboratory.

More than a thousand tombs were robbed and nearly 50,000 cultural relics were unearthed...

Early the next morning, several people went straight to the first prison.

Now it's good. Not only has it received a huge investment, but it has also established a long-term relationship with Baoli. The locals are probably going crazy with joy.

Before he was arrested, he had twelve tomb-robber gangs, each with a few to dozens of people, and a total of more than 200 gang members.

Because the timing is too coincidental: after National Day.

After sitting down, Yao Yuzhong didn't speak and glanced back and forth.

Among all state-owned tourism investment groups, this one ranks third. Just a little bit of the seam of your hands can lift the local economic value by several percentage points.

After explaining their intention, the ward director and guards came together to communicate with Yao Yuzhong.

Just as the guard was about to say something, Li Dingan waved his hand.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, he has basically unified the tomb robbing community in Northeast China and is truly the "King of Tomb Robbers Outside the Customs".

If it weren't for this, a proper death penalty...

The meeting was in a conference room in the Education Department, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Yao Yuzhong was brought in, and Li Dingan looked at him subconsciously.

Is the direction so clear?

He also made innovations on his own: he invented several new archaeological tools, one of which is called a Zazi, which does not lift the soil directly, but digs it into the soil and pulls it out, and then determines whether there are tombs underground by observing the color change of the tip. .

It's probably: setting up a deal--taking advantage of others--collection.

Baoli, on the other hand, spends money to buy Ping An: you invest wherever you invest, there is no difference. But voting for Liao Province can at least avoid a lot of wrangling.

There wasn't much drinking, but the atmosphere was lively. After the banquet, Wei Jimin personally sent Li Ding'an back to his room.

What is this concept?

In addition to stealing, he also robbed.

Super-standard reception was only the second priority. What he didn't understand was: Li Ding'an was engaged in research, archaeology, and cultural relics. How could it be related to tourism investment and economic strategic plans?

Or Baoli Culture and Tourism?

At least you can no longer ask what technology I developed from that pile of imitation porcelain...

Wei Jimin called the Justice Bureau and arranged for a deputy director to accompany him. The Bureau took it seriously.

This was after he had a premonition that something was going to happen and restrained himself extremely.

Zuo Peng was stunned anyway.

Looking at it now, who would have thought that this old man with an unattractive appearance was once the "King of Tomb Robbers" outside Zonghengguan?

It is no exaggeration to say that regardless of the number of tombs robbed, the number of stolen and smuggled cultural relics, the size of the gang, the number of people, etc., brothers Wen Youquan and Wen Youlun could only carry his shoes.

At first glance, it seems normal?

But Li Ding'an always felt like he was wiping his own butt.

I have to report it to my boss when I get back...

Just use that pile of imitation porcelain...oh no, it was replaced by technology.

During Yao Yuzhong's craziest two years from 2013 to 2014, there were more than gang members directly and indirectly controlled by him, and a total of more than tombs were robbed in the two years.

And every year.

A pile of imitation porcelain, if left here, will still be a pile of imitation porcelain in ten years.

He is thin and has gray hair, but he is in good spirits, elegant and gentle.

Not asking for his opinion, but asking him to cooperate unconditionally.

Subconsciously, a familiar figure appeared in his mind: Yu Sicheng.

……

The standard of the banquet was very high, and every detail was arranged. It was almost a one-to-one reception.

Tomb robbing technology is also very high-tech: geoelectric, geoacoustic, geomagnetic, three-dimensional imaging... He has all the exploration equipment that the National Museum archaeological team has.

This man was too stubborn: after he was arrested, the police took him to identify the scene. When the police were not paying attention, he almost hit his head on a rock and died.

It won't work if you try to be tough with such a person, and you might even be led astray...

"Don't be nervous, we are just here to ask a few questions and have nothing to do with your case!"

"It doesn't matter!" Yao Chuzhonghun didn't care, "I can't get out anyway, so just ask!"

It really is.

His death sentence will be reduced to a reprieve only if he has performed major meritorious services. Even if it is further reduced, it will not be less than twenty-five years.

Counting the time, it has only been seven years since he came here, but he is already sixty-three now. In eighteen years, he will be eighty-one...

"That's OK!"

Li Ding'an nodded and took out a box of cigarettes. Ma Xianming volunteered to deliver it to him.

Yao Yuzhong looked at the cigarette box in front of him: Huazi, it's soft.

Before he came in, he smoked until he vomited.

But now... I can’t even pick up the cigarette butt!

He sighed and stared at Ma Xianming: "The one who studies porcelain... is the provincial doctor or the national doctor?"

Ma Xianming was stunned.

How did you recognize this guy?

"It seems to be Guobo... What about you?" He looked at Li Ding'an again, "His leader?"

"That's it!"

"young and promising!"

Yao Yuzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's worth it to be consulted by experts from the National Museum... What do you want to ask?"

"compass!"

Li Ding'an spoke concisely, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the guard, who then handed it to Yao Yuzhong.

It was a plan view of the compass on the top of the mountain. Li Ding'an asked the surveying and mapping team to draw a new one based on the existing information.

Ten layers of concentric circles are divided into twenty-four equal parts, with a total of more than two hundred grids, but only one-fifth has content, and the rest are blank.

Since it hasn't been dug out yet, it hasn't been filled in yet.

"There are no needles in Tianchi, and the four images are outside... One, three, seven, nine are in Yin, two, four, six and eight are in Yang... Kan, one, and nine are combined in ten, Kun, two, Gen, and eight are combined in ten, Zhen, seven, and three are combined in ten. They are all in the innate position. Qian Yi Kun eight combines with nine, Kan six separates three combines with nine, zhen four, sunda five combines with nine, but it is in the post-heaven position? Why is this compass so weird, where does it come from? "

Ma Xianming replied casually: "I picked it up!"

"Pick it up?"

Yao Yuzhong looked at him with a strange expression on his face, "This thing is not on the top of the mountain, but on the top of the temple. The smallest one is ten feet, which is about thirty meters in size... How do you pick it up?"

Ma Xianming was dumbfounded again: "It's just a piece of paper, and it's not all drawn. How do you know the thing is on the top of the mountain?"

Because of professionalism.

Li Dingxin sighed with satisfaction: We found the right person!

"This is the same as when you look at a piece of porcelain and you know that the complete shape of the vessel is a bottle, a jar, a statue, or a basin!" As he spoke, Li Ding'an stood up and handed the second piece of paper to him before.

This time it is a complete compass diagram, but it was derived by Li Ding'an himself.

Yao Yuzhong looked at it carefully: "Everything else is correct, but the seventh floor should not be a star map, but the five elements... This compass should be built on the top of the mountain!"

"Correct!"

"There are many mountains nearby, but they are shorter than here, and they circle back and forth... like this..."

Yao Yuzhong raised his palms upward and gathered his five fingers together, "like a group of dragons gathering together!"

"I don't know what dragons are gathering together, but the terrain does match the twists and turns of mountains and rivers in the Suspicious Dragon Scripture!"

"They're all the same, one kind of mountain, two names... Is there a temple near Luo Pan?"

"Yes, it is built on a cliff halfway up the mountain. To be precise, it is a hanging temple!"

"The earthquake position means there is water in the east?"

"Yes, there is a reservoir, it should have been a lake before!"

"Xun position has valley!"

Li Ding settled for a moment and nodded again.

Xun is located in the southeast, and there happens to be a gorge.

He thought it was a natural formation before, but now it seems that it must be man-made...

"That's right... this is the dragon locking bureau. Basically, the court was afraid that an earth dragon's dragon energy was too strong and would rebel against the king, so it was built to suppress the dragon and lock the energy... Well, it should have been built in the Liao Dynasty... …Nine times out of ten it’s Si Tianjian!”

Li Ding'an was also shocked: So powerful?

Yao Yuzhong has studied Feng Shui and played with the compass all his life. For him, the compass is even more useful than those high-tech instruments, so what he said above is easy to understand.

But how did he infer this Liao Dynasty?

"You'll understand if I explain: This dragon-locking tactic comes from the Feng Shui secret book "Qing Nang Shu", which is an undisclosed secret of the Yelu family of the Liao Dynasty. The original book was lost after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, so the following dynasties Even if I want to create this kind of Feng Shui situation, I don’t know how!”

"Then how do you know?"

"I robbed Yelv's tomb..."

okay!

I forgot for a moment that all the Liao tombs in the capital of the Liao Dynasty were stolen by him.

It is normal to find some stolen materials related to Feng Shui...

Ma Xianming lowered his voice: "The Liao Dynasty also paid attention to Feng Shui?"

More than just Feng Shui?

When Shizong of the Liao Dynasty obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Northern Song Dynasty had not yet been established. But at that time, the Khitan had already been completely Chineseized, including writing, systems, and even customs.

If it hadn't been for the fact that later Jin Zhangzong felt that "the Song Dynasty lived in the Central Plains, it should be regarded as the correct one, and the Liao Dynasty lived in the north, it should be regarded as the leap", so he did not compile the history of the Liao Dynasty. Otherwise, it is not certain who is the orthodox one, Song or Liao.

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "Is there a tomb nearby?"

"Yes, nine times out of ten it will still be a big tomb!"

Yao Yuzhong nodded, "But not too much."

Zuo Peng's eyes lit up, "Why?"

"It's just locking, not beheading, which shows that this clan plays a great role in the Yelu clan and must be helped... If the clan leader dares not to rebel immediately, he can only move the clan away... As expected, it should be Xiao, Han, and Liu Which of the five surnames are , Ma, and Zhao!"

Zuo Peng and Ma Xianming were dubious, but Li Ding'an sighed: Yes, they just moved away.

The Yelu family belongs to the imperial family, and the Xiao family belongs to the descendant family, and they belong to every generation.

The four surnames Han, Liu, Ma, and Zhao were only married to the Xiao family, and they became the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth major Khitan families after Yelu and Xiao.

This shows Xiao's political status and influence in the Liao Dynasty.

Naiman is the fiefdom of Xiao Shaoju, and the tombs of Princess Chen and Xiao Shaoju are also in Qinglong Mountain. It stands to reason that the descendants of this Xiao family must also be buried here.

But two generations later, the Xiao family moved to Faku County, Liao Province, and were buried in Yemaotai for generations?

It can be explained now: he was forced to leave by the Yelv clan.

In other words, there must be a large tomb nearby, a tomb larger than the tomb where Princess Chen and Efu were buried together.

All that's left is to find...

Li Ding'an thought for a while and took out the third picture, an aerial picture of Qinglong Mountain.

“There are sand snails in the hook, water fills the bright hall, houses are surrounded on all sides, water gathers around the mountain...a great place!”

Zuo Peng stretched his neck: "How good is it?"

"There are auspicious caves everywhere, and there are even dragon caves. If there is no Dragon Suppression Bureau, there will be at least two ways to rebel against the king... The Xiao family has experts, but the Yelv family is even higher!"

"You just said there was a big tomb, where is it?"

"It's useless to just look at the map. You need to observe the situation on the ground, and you also need to correspond to the celestial phenomena..."

Zuo Peng's eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again.

You are a death row prisoner and you want us to get you out?

What good things are you thinking about?

"Trouble!"

Li Ding'an said politely as usual and took back the three drawings.

Yao Yuzhong reluctantly let go of his hand: "This is the big tomb!"

"I know!"

"It's hard to find!"

"I know it too!"

"Take me for a spin and give me a compass. It will last for three days and three nights at most..."

Am I out of my mind?

Li Ding'an shook his head: "I'll find it myself!"

“Without formulas and algorithms, you can’t find them!”

"Then don't look for it!"

I'm not a professional tomb robber. If I can't find it, I can't find it...

"A cigarette, two bottles of wine..."

Yao Yuzhong let out a long sigh, "I'll teach you the formula of "Qing Nang Shu"... it's enough to find the tomb."

Li Ding'an was startled for a moment: A generation of thief kings has fallen to this level?

Being considered a secret by the royal family of a dynasty, the value of the "Qing Nang Book" can be imagined, but is it used to arrest a cigarette or two bottles of wine?

But think about it again: where is this place?

Now he is not a tomb robber outside the customs, he is just an ordinary old man. Not to mention smoking and drinking. If he has a piece of meat in his rice bowl, he may have to pay homage to the prison boss first...

Of course, what he wants is not just cigarettes and wine, but to ensure that every cigarette and every sip of wine reaches his mouth.

It is not impossible.

Li Ding'an thought for a while and looked at the prison district chief.

The superintendent nodded slightly, meaning it was okay.

"You write it down, and I'll take my time when I go back...how long!"

"Half a day is enough!"

"Okay...I'll pick it up tomorrow!"

Li Ding'an nodded and stuffed the drawings into his bag.

Just as he was about to stand up, he saw the copper plate in the bag again.

It’s already here anyway, so I might as well let him take a look.

Li Ding'an took out the compass: "Look at this for me, and I'll give you another cigarette!"

Yao Yuzhong nodded quickly and took a few glances.

"This is the trapped dragon plate!"
