Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

If you already have a crutch, what kind of bike do you need?

That’s what they say, but when a mountain looks high, who doesn’t want more?

Zuo Peng was excited and disappointed at the same time. One moment he sighed sadly, and the next moment he was cheerful.

It's cold in the mountains, and it's dark in the cave, silent and eerie. There are murals, copper pillars, runes and star maps in the tomb. It is mysterious and terrifying, and a slight chill seems to penetrate into the pores.

What's more, there's a bottle of monk's mummified body sitting in front of him?

Coupled with Zuo Peng's night owl-like smile, Su Xiu and Yu Huiyin were so excited that they had goosebumps all over their bodies.

Li Ding'an waved the flashlight: "Zuo Ju, can you smile more normally?"

How do you want me to be normal?

"Teacher Li, I just can't figure it out: How can the remaining two formations escape outside the city?"

Zuo Peng grimaced: "I feel like I have lost hundreds of millions..."

People like you are really hopeless...

Not to mention overseas ones, at least one is in China, right?
What's going on outside the city? Do you know what win-win means?

Of course, it was also because he didn't realize the importance of this place...

Li Ding'an shook his head: "Go out first... Then you arrange for someone to come over and be on duty, and we will conduct a formal inspection tomorrow..."

Oh yes……

Zuo Peng perked up: First, let’s investigate this part of his home clearly.

Of course, other people’s homes can’t be spared either.

Whether you can get some advantages or not, you have to at least think about it first...

Thinking about it, he quickened his pace and followed behind Li Ding'an:
"Teacher Li, can you find out the specific identity of the Golden Buddha?"

"It's difficult to investigate, but it's not hopeless. The premise is to find the other two formation points...at least one must be found so that we can make inferences and check historical data."

"Is it hard to find it?"

"It's hard to say, but it's also simple..."

What is this statement?
"Roughly, it depends on the direction of the dragon's veins, which is the mountain topography."

"Looking along the mountain?"

"if not?"

While talking, several people came out of the cave.

Li Ding'an pointed to the peak on the west side: "Zuo Bureau, look carefully, what does that mountain look like?"

"Horns?"

This place was originally called Woniu Mountain, the mountain ridge we drove from was called Niujiang, and these two peaks were called Niujiao Peak.

Because they are twenty miles apart, they are called East Twenty Mile Peak and West Twenty Mile Peak.

"Whose horns are split? Look at it..."

Oh yes……

"Antelope, deer antlers...um, no, dragon antlers?"

"Look at the mountain peak where the car is parked. What does it look like?"

"The local name is Niu Yang Gu (a harness used when pulling a cart with oxen). As for what it looks like..."

Zuo Peng looked at it for a long time and asked, "A bridle?"

Li Ding'an gave a thumbs up.

"One way of saying it, two meanings, isn't it still the same thing?"

"no the same!"

Li Ding'an pointed his fingers again and said, "Look at Qinglong Mountain now. What does it look like?"

Zuo Peng squinted his eyes carefully, his expression gradually becoming strange.

He finally knew what Li Ding'an wanted to say: Looking down from the main peak Laodao Peak, Qingfeng Dragon looked like a grouped sleeping dragon, or like a group of small dragons swimming around a point.

But standing here and looking at it: the dragon's body is gradually relaxing, as if it has woken up and is about to leave?

The dragons gradually dispersed, and it seemed they still wanted to leave?

What’s even weirder is: the two Twenty Mile Peaks look too much like dragon horns, this place looks too much like a dragon’s head, and the mountain ridge where the pickup truck is parked looks too much like a halter around a dragon’s neck.

Moreover, the mountains are thicker in the north and thinner in the south, and are compared to dragon veins: it feels like... the dragon is about to turn around and go north?

Thinking about it this way, the copper stake, the monk, the runes, and the dragon bone in the cave are more like a piece of meat hanging on the dragon's horn, coaxing the dragon to move forward...

"The dragon veins were really driven away... No, they were taken away?"

"Theoretically, it seems like this... Of course, it's just a theory!"

Zuo Peng opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

Now not only Su Xiu, but also he felt that Li Ding'an was telling myths.

This is a mountain, and the terrain may not change for thousands of years. How can we control it?
"Actually?"

"Actually, it's not that mysterious... There is a saying in Feng Shui terminology, which is called Thousand Eyes to See Thousand Mountains, which means that from a thousand angles, one can see a thousand different terrains, as well as a thousand different directions of dragon veins and dragon auras. The place of knots...that's what it is here..."

Li Ding'an pointed at Laodao Mountain: "Looking from here, Funiu Mountain looks like a dragon's head with a bridle, but looking from the higher Laodao Mountain, it looks like a split dragon's tail...

Therefore, it is not the warlock who sets up the formation to change the mountain topography, but the warlock imitates the mountain topography and then sets up the formation according to Feng Shui, hoping to change the direction of the dragon vein... To put it bluntly, there are only eight words: adapt to local conditions and make the most of the situation. …As for whether it’s accurate? "

Li Ding'an paused for a moment: "Anyway, I think it's more like seeking a kind of psychological comfort!"

Almost fooled?
Zuo Peng took a breath, "Then why are the mountains thick in the north and thin in the south, high in the north and low in the south? It looks like the dragon's head has turned around and ran to the northwest?"

Turn around?

"Qinglong Mountain is a branch of Nuru'er Tiger Mountain, and Nuru'er Tiger Mountain is part of the remnants of Yanshan Mountain. Therefore, the direction of Qinglong Mountain is from northwest to southeast. Doesn't it mean that it gets higher and thicker toward the northwest?"

Haha...Is that so?
Zuo Peng smiled dryly: "If we deduce this, the second formation is in Nuruerhu Mountain in the southeast?"

"No!"

Li Ding'an pointed to the northwest, "It's in the northwest!"

Because there is Yinshan Mountain there.

Yinshan Mountain is the main vein of Beilong. Liu Bowen's "Kanyu Manxing" said: Beilong is the best place to tie up, and thousands of hectares of mountain peaks can be seen as far as the eye can see. The Yalu Yellow River embraces it from front to back, and Jintai is the home of emperors through the ages.

This means that among the three dragon veins of South, North and Middle, the North Dragon has the most imperial aura.

I don’t know whether it’s accurate or not, but if you look at all the dynasties in China, 90% of them started from the north.

Including Liao, Jin, Yuan, Qing...

"It means going to the northwest...when?"

"As soon as possible!"

Li Ding'an thought for a while, "After New Year's Day, I will definitely return to the capital. By then, I will have to rely on you to find it..."

"I see!"

Zuo Peng nodded fiercely, "I'll report it now!"

He ran to the side to make a phone call, and Li Ding'an asked Fang Zhijie, the scouts, and the guide to pack up the instruments and equipment.

Su Xiu stood aside, silent.

She didn't say much during the whole process, but to be honest, she felt regretful and a little doubtful.

Feng shui, dragon vein?
Formation, driving dragon?
It feels very fantasy, like watching a ghost blow out a lantern?

But she couldn't explain why there was a tomb in the deserted mountain... Oh no, the ruins of the formation?

Still so strange?
The giant tomb in the belly of Gufeng Mountain, the copper pillars weighing several tons, the lifelike Buddha, and the magical weapon that is suspected to be made from the emperor's spine... No matter what, it can cause an uproar in the archaeological and historical circles.

The key thing is that the burial was so tight and the cover was so solid. It had never been discovered by anyone before, and there was no mark. There was no trace of historical records or anything like that. How did Li Ding'an find it?
And from beginning to end, he just relied on a compass?
A large group of Liao Dynasty tombs including more than a dozen tombs...Li Ding'an also only relied on a compass?
Doesn’t it make sense with logic?

"Lesui, the Department of Archeology at Beijing University also teaches Feng Shui?"

The more Su Xiu thought about it, the weirder she became. She looked at Li Ding'an who was not far away, "Maybe the Department of Chinese and History of the First Normal University has this major?"

How can this be taught specifically in college?
At most, it involves a little bit of majors related to geography and architectural design...

Yu Huiyin shook his head: "It's not taught in the university, and he hasn't learned it before!"

Is that weird?

"He learned it now!"

Yu Huiyin thought for a while, "In mid-October, he asked me to help him search for information in the national library. They were all the basic theories of Feng Shui. It should have started from that time..."

Su Xiu suddenly paused: "Mid-October?"

"Well, it's mid-October!"

Does this mean that after only two months of learning, he can take a compass and run into the barren mountains to find tombs and ancient ruins?

There are more than a dozen of them when you look for them... Is it more fantasy?

I feel like I can’t figure it out...

She sighed, and Yu Huiyin also sighed.

"What's wrong, you can't figure it out..."

"No..." Yu Huiyin shook his head, "He has always learned things very quickly... Just like identification, like archeology, no one else has taught him much, he has learned it by himself..."

A breath choked in Su Xiu's throat.

If it weren't for Yu Huiyin, she would have to scold him: Even if he is your boyfriend, there must be a limit to praise?
"Then why are you sighing?"

"I just thought that he would have to go to the northwest...it might be even harder!"

It's really hard, but worth it
The ancients said, "Working behind closed doors will make the same progress when going out." They also said, "Putting what you have learned into practice, and integrating knowledge and action." No matter how high the theoretical level is, if there is no practice, it is called a weak army on paper.

The same is true.

Relying on what he learned, Li Ding'an discovered the first large-scale family tomb in the Liao Dynasty other than the imperial mausoleum, and the first large-scale Feng Shui-type site...

Especially the latter, it is the first time in the country that such a unique and novel type of site has been discovered. The cultural relics department and the media department will definitely write a book about it, and Li Ding'an's name will inevitably appear in every publicity and record.

What does this mean?
visibility, professional capabilities, and influence.

The so-called authority is accumulated bit by bit in this way...

Of course, I have to admire it: the environment and working conditions are no better than surviving in the wilderness.

It's really amazing that Li Ding'an can persevere...

……

In a short time, most of the instruments were sent down the mountain, while the remaining impact hammers and other tools were left on the mountain for tomorrow's use.

Li Ding'an took them down the mountain via a shortcut, chatting while walking.

"Teacher Li, the Cultural Relics Bureau will not approve the project of excavation of Liao Dynasty tombs, right?"

"almost!"

"Then can you give us some ideas!"

Let me provide some ideas?

It's not impossible, but it doesn't make sense.

This is a planning program. If you put aside the cultural relics, I am basically a layman. CCTV is full of talents, and if you pick anyone at random, they are more professional than you...

Li Ding'an thought about it for a while: "Director Su, who gave you the idea?"

Su Xiu paused for a moment, her eyes particularly complicated: No...why did you react so quickly?

She sighed: "It was Director He... He suggested to us that Huiyin could draft this plan..."

Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

He wanted to curse.

He Anbang, in order for me to go back as soon as possible, you don't even want to lose face?

Just wait for me...

Cursing secretly, he thought again: "It's certainly okay to provide ideas, but I don't quite understand CCTV's process, nor do I quite understand the nature of your program..."

"It doesn't matter, please help me first... Oh no, help Huiyin analyze it: if we interpret history and culture, show the stories behind cultural relics, and let the audience understand the spiritual core of civilization and the continuation of Chinese culture carried by cultural relics... if we start from this From this perspective, how should we plan this program?”

Are you asking for a lot?
"Can you be more specific?"

"Okay!" Su Xiu nodded, "I think the Liao Dynasty cultural relics are novel, but Feng Shui relics and cultural relics may be more attractive and contagious..."

Of course.

There are many tombs in China, so there are also many cultural relics. If we photograph ten cultural relics, nine of them may be related to tombs. CCTV doesn’t like to photograph them anymore.

Although Liao tombs are relatively rare, they are not without cultural relics handed down from generation to generation. The key point is that the Cultural Relics Bureau is unlikely to agree to the local excavation of Xiao's tomb, so the planning of the program is much more difficult.

But now that she had a better choice, Su Xiu naturally wanted to change her thinking: Why not plan a program around "Feng Shui ruins"?
At least there are cultural relics to display, and they are rarer and more novel: the first large-scale Feng Shui-type ruins discovered in the country... Oh no, no matter how big or small, this seems to be the first one.

When the audience took a look, what a surprise: the big compass on the top of the mountain, the copper pillars weighing several tons, the golden bodies of eminent monks, and the emperor's keel... they would definitely take one look at it and be reluctant to change the channel.

The ratings are absolutely stellar, which is what Su Xiu calls attractiveness and appeal...

And considering what Su Xiu said about "exploring historical heritage," "interpreting historical culture," and "carrying forward the spiritual core of cultural continuation," the Feng Shui site is also deeper than Xiao's tomb...

Don't tell me, do you really need to help Yu Huiyin plan it?
If this episode becomes popular, Yu Huiyin will not say that she is walking sideways on CCTV, but no one will ever say that she is a eldest lady, a well-connected person, and uses the back door.

That’s why I won’t work overtime every day just to prove myself...

Li Ding'an nodded: "Let me think about it!"

"Thank you, Teacher Li!"

Su Xiu was very happy, "I will start from tomorrow, can we follow the team for filming?"

"can!"

Collecting first-hand information is most important, and the scene is also the most realistic...

While talking, several people descended the mountain peak and arrived at Niu Yang Gu.

Zuo Peng just finished making the call and caught up with him in three steps and two steps at a time.

"Teacher Li, Minister Ai said that Secretary Mi and Mayor Qin may also come!"

"Oh..." Li Ding'an said calmly, "Just don't drink!"

"No... Teacher Li, don't you think it's strange?"

Anyway, Zuo Peng felt: The leader came too frequently?
The deputy secretary and the mayor came two weeks ago, and today it’s Minister Ai again?

The sun hasn't even set yet, and the official leader is coming again, and both of them are coming together?

It just felt like the leaders paid more attention to him than the director...

Li Ding'an nodded: "Strange, why not? The leaders are a little too enthusiastic..."

Do you look weird?
In fact, Zuo Peng hadn't turned a corner yet. His mind was full of cultural relics, scenic spots, publicity, investment and other issues. He might also be thinking about how to take advantage of his neighbors, so he didn't realize that "the first Feng Shui-type ruins were discovered". ” specific concept.

Just like Su Xiu, after walking around, you will know that compared to tombs, Feng Shui ruins have more publicity.

Don't underestimate the word "first time", it means unique and breaking historical records.

Just like the "Tomb of Princess Chen and Her Consort" dozens of kilometers away, it was a sensation in all walks of life when it was discovered.

Because it was the most complete, largest, and most unearthed tomb of the Liao Dynasty to date, it was known as the only example of Liao Dynasty culture in the country and was listed as the "New Archaeological Discovery of the Year" that year.

The popularity remained for several years, and it was not until several Liao Dynasty imperial tombs were rescued that the popularity slowly declined.

At that time, Tongliao had not yet been established as a city. The district cultural relics department and the National Museum jointly excavated more than 3,000 cultural relics. The National Museum took the majority and the district museum kept the smaller ones. Because of the construction of a reservoir, most of the ruins were destroyed. Basically, it can be said that they are of little value.

But this does not prevent the leaders from knowing how to pay attention to and develop similar ruins if they are discovered again.

Anyway, it can no longer be robbed by the cultural relics department and tourism department at the higher level. Even if it is robbed, the local area must keep most of it.

So it’s not surprising that the two leaders rushed over after hearing the news...

Li Ding'an pointed to the steering wheel: "Are you driving or should I drive?"

Others are not good, such as Fang Zhijie: It's OK on flat roads, but my legs tremble as soon as I drive up the mountain...

As soon as there was an interruption, Zuo Peng couldn't think anymore: "You're too tired, I'll drive... you come up too, I'll take you down and then pick up Xiao Fang and the others..."

It's a bit tiring indeed.

"also!"

Li Ding'an was not polite and got into the passenger seat. Su Xiu and Yu Huiyin got into the back seat.

The pickup truck made a steady U-turn, descended from Guling Mountain, and then climbed up the mountain ridge.

As they were driving, Zuo Peng let out a sigh: "How do I feel that Yao Yuzhong didn't tell the truth?"

No, he said there were dragon-repelling stakes, and he did dig six of them, but the biggest one was not at the top of Laodao Peak.

He said there were tombs, and indeed they were found, but it was not like he said "not many."

Instead, not too much.

Think again about his tone at that time: maybe, estimate, should, maybe... and "If you can't find it, come find me again"...

The more I think about it, the more I feel like this old bastard is playing tricks?
Li Ding'an sighed: Director Zuo, you just want to understand?
After returning from Shenyang, Li Ding'an always felt a little strange: Since the Feng Shui Bureau was established by an official agency such as Si Tianjian with the purpose of drawing away the dragon's energy, how could it be limited to one mountain?

Or even limited to the area around Laodao Mountain?
Zuo Peng took the excavator up the mountain and dug more than ten meters without finding any hair. Li Dingan understood: Yao Yuzhong had played a lot of tricks in order to see the sun outside the prison.

Locking the dragon is locking the dragon, and driving the dragon is driving the dragon. According to Feng Shui, the two formations are not a system, and it is impossible to build another formation within the formation.

What about cattle pens, driving cattle, dogs, eagles, and knives... I just want to mess with my brain, and finally I have to beg him again.

Can you fool me?
Fortunately, I woke up in time and learned quickly enough...

"I told you not to listen to his nonsense... drive well..." (End of Chapter)
