Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The morning sun is rising, the sand sea is bright, the sky is as blue as a mirror, and the clouds are as gorgeous as the clouds.

The mountains are scattered and nestled together. The mountains are shaped like horseshoes, but the top of the mountain is as flat as an axe. The morning light shines down like rouge.

The helicopter rumbled by, and Yu Huiyin pressed the shutter quickly, eager to capture all the beautiful scenery in his camera.

Shu Jing was mesmerized by her beauty: "So beautiful!"

So pretty?
The cold wind kept pouring into the cabin. Li Ding'an shivered from the cold and wrapped himself in his coat.

I just don’t understand the brain circuits of these two women: They are almost frozen to death, but they still have the time to enjoy the scenery?
After patiently finishing Huiyin's photo shoot, Li Ding'an quickly closed the cabin door and signaled to the driver: Come back.

The fuselage tilted slightly, and the helicopter turned around and flew west.

This place is far away from the camp, with a straight-line distance of more than 170 kilometers, but it is very close to the city of Xishi, only more than 30 kilometers away.

It is also one of the few places with mountains in Ximeng.

Unfortunately, the geographical basis for the Hetu Array to "become an image in the sky and take shape on the ground" is not here.

As soon as the cabin door was closed, the noise was much quieter, but Yu Huiyin still had more to say, overlooking the mountains through the glass.

"Li Ding'an, why are these mountains red and the tops of them so flat?"

"The red color is because the deposited volcanic rocks have weathered and turned into red soil. The reason why the top of the mountain is flat... you know Mount Fuji, all volcanoes have this shape."

"It's so beautiful...is this the place you are looking for?"

"No!" Li Ding'an shook his head, "The arrangement is too chaotic, there are no rules at all."

Secondly, it is too far from the ancient city.

"What should I do?"

What else can I do?
"Keep looking."

As he spoke, the plane flew back to the camp. Upon hearing the noise, Deputy Director Yan, He Anbang and Lu Benzhi all left the office.

"How about it?"

"It's not Pingdingshan!"

He Anbang spread his hands: "But there are no more mountains nearby?"

Li Ding'an also felt strange: If the formation was laid out according to the flat ocean terrain of "the ups and downs are mountains, and the flowing ones are Qi", it would not be Hetu and Luoshu.

On the contrary, if you can use the five elements of He and Luo to set up an array, there must be mountains. Even if there are no naturally formed mountains, a few must be built artificially.

The question is, where are the mountains?
If we can't find the terrain basis of this magic circle, we can't infer the approximate direction of the next magic circle. We can't just run into each other in the Yinshan Mountains, right?
"Let's talk after we get in!"

Li Dingan entered the office and took off his cotton coat.

Fang Zhijie hurriedly came over and handed over the folder: "Teacher Li, take a look!"

Li Ding Ontario scanned: There are quite a lot of ancient rivers, one in the east, one in the west, one in the south, and one in the north, like a "well", surrounding the ancient city in the middle.

But still no mountains.

Scroll further forward, it’s almost the same...

Starting a week ago, Li Ding'an arranged for his assistant team to check the geographical records around the ancient city. The time span was from the Han Dynasty to modern times, but there was very little useful information.

There is no way to criticize this, because since the Han Dynasty, this place has been a desert. Even the Huns did not come here to graze, so there was no need to survey the geography at all.

Li Ding'an closed the folder and took out his mobile phone: "Hello, Vice Mayor Wei, what do the herders nearby say...haven't seen the mountains? Oh, okay, trouble!"

He sighed.

its stuck.

Lu Benzhi thought for a while: "Is there any other way?"

"Have!"

The old dean's eyes lit up: "What!"

"Try your luck!"

what's that?
Let’s not talk about the big ones, let’s just talk about the Hunshan Desert, which is three to four hundred kilometers from east to west, north to south, how can you touch it?
He Anbang didn't find it strange: Li Ding'an said it was a matter of luck, but it was definitely not a random chance.

Just like when he first came to Inner Mongolia to inspect the kiln site, everyone from top to bottom, including the curator, secretary, himself and Ma Xianming, as well as everyone on the project team, thought he was just fooling around.

You may not come across any useful clues for several months, let alone several years.

But what about the results?

From beginning to end, it only took Li Ding'an a month to find the kiln site. No one dared to say that he was trying his luck anymore...

"Is there any basis for it?"

"A little, but not much: I suspect that there must be mountains, but it is very likely that they were buried by sand like the ancient city!"

Li Ding'an pointed to the north again, "I want to find it based on the Feng Shui pattern of the ancient city and the direction of the Five Elements and Bagua: the north of the Five Elements is water, which happened to be Chagan Nur Lake before, and the northeast of Bagua belongs to Gen. That direction is just right. It’s the mountain on top of the ancient city, Baogada Mountain…so, maybe there’s a mountain next to it.”

Deputy Director Yan was astonished: "How high can a mountain be buried by sand?"

"It should be twenty or thirty meters long...Isn't Baogeda Mountain just over thirty meters long?"

Deputy Director Yan suddenly became silent: Baogeda Mountain is not high, but this is now, in the past, it was respected as a holy mountain by the surrounding herdsmen.

It is precisely because it is nearly half buried in sand that it is so short.

Thinking about it this way, if there is a hill 20 to 30 meters high nearby, the possibility of being buried by sand is very high.

"Then look for it. When will you go?"

"Tomorrow, I will make further calculations." Li Ding'an looked at Deputy Director Yan, "We will need more manpower and instruments then, and we need to trouble Director Yan to coordinate!"

"no problem."

……

The sun is red on a pillow, the clouds are clear and the sky is clear. The desert is vast, with off-road vehicles and pickup trucks constantly passing by, and the dust rises and falls like wriggling earthworms.

Dozens of people were scattered around the lake site, sparsely and scattered, like many tiny beetles.

The helicopter kept circling, and Li Ding'an stretched his neck and searched carefully with a telescope.

After flying back and forth for seven or eight times, he sighed and patted the back of the driver's seat: "Get off!"

The helicopter stopped on a flat ground, and two off-road vehicles drove over. He Anbang stuck his head out: "How are you doing?"

Li Ding'an shook his head, meaning he didn't find it.

"How's it going down there?"

He Anbang also shook his head: "Aside from sand, it's still sand."

Have you seen a ghost?

"Is it possible that it's not in this area?"

impossible.

Adapt measures to local conditions... If you are too far away, what is the point of "forming on the spot"?
"Director Xiao, let everyone take a rest!" Li Ding'an announced through the intercom and opened the door of the car behind him, "I'll think about it some more."

He Anbang sighed: It means that there is no need to probe. Is it just a waste of time?
After thinking about it, he also got out of the car.

Li Ding'an took out his computer and asked Shu Jing: "Take out all the aerial photos, satellite maps, and ancient geography maps around the ancient city!"

Yu Huiyin also came to help. In a few minutes, seven or eight drawings were pasted on the hood of the off-road vehicle and pressed down with magnets.

Li Ding'an looked at it for a while, then changed the order back and forth. After adjusting it once, he would pick up a pen and record it. From time to time, I would pick up the compass and compare it, chanting while turning it.

He Anbang was dazzled: "What are you looking for?"

"Axis!" Li Ding'an kept moving, "The old magic stick... Yao Yuzhong said: The magic circle on the main peak of Qinglong Mountain is to reverse Yin and Yang, top the Five Elements, and reverse the Eight Diagrams, so I want to see if the same logic is followed here. "

"Didn't you say that was the smoke bomb set off by Yao Yuzhong?"

"Yes, it is indeed an old fool who is fooling around, but it is not unreasonable!"

Li Ding'an fiddled with it for a while, then held his chin, "But this city is following the trend of 'Xin Ren meets and gathers Chen'... It stands to reason that another Feng Shui formation based on it cannot be Dian Tiao. The pattern of yin and yang?”

Then you have been fiddling and analyzing it for a long time, isn't it all in vain?

He Anbang pointed to the aerial photo of the ancient city: "Is it still in this city?"

"Impossible!" Li Ding'an took Luo Shu's star map and pointed at the red dots on the ancient city map, "Look, are they exactly the same?"

Several heads came closer: Luoshu has forty-five stars, and the red dots in the ancient city map are also forty-five, with exactly the same orientation.

Each red dot represents a magical weapon similar to the "Dragon Exorcist Stake". No more, no less, forty-five places have been unearthed.

"It means this corresponds to Luo Shu, and Hetu is somewhere else?"

"Correct!"

"Could it also be an imperial city?" He Anbang suddenly thought, "A city that is exactly the same as the ancient city is buried in the sand in the Hunshan Desert?"

"Ha ha……"

Are you braver than me?

Theoretically, it is feasible: gathering dragons to attract energy is related to the prosperity and sorrow of the dynasty, so it is not surprising that the battle is larger.

But the actual possibility is unlikely: according to the dating dates of several unearthed architectural relics, the formation on the main peak of Qinglong Mountain is the earliest, followed by Funiu Mountain, with a difference of about one to two years between the two.

It will be a little later here, about two years later than Funiu Mountain. How long will it take to build a capital as big as the ancient city of Hunshan?
It can take as little as ten years or as long as twenty or thirty years: because this is not an ordinary city. You can just find a place to build it. It still has to "match the sky above and the geography below"... Just like the Forbidden City, even if it is man-made, it must be Create a corresponding Feng Shui pattern.

But according to the speed of throne change in the Yuan Dynasty, there were seven or eight emperors in twenty years. With the emperor and his courtiers, combined with the economic conditions of the Yuan Dynasty, could the foundation be laid, let alone building a city?

"It is impossible to build a city. It is possible to build a few mountains according to the feng shui pattern of the imperial city."

"According to the feng shui pattern of the imperial city?" Shu Jinghao tilted her head and thought hard, "The ancient city of Hunshan is the Tang Dynasty and corresponds to Luoshu... Will the feng shui pattern corresponding to the Hetu correspond to the Daming Palace in Chang'an? Or Luoyang Shenjing?”

"The paper was not written in vain, has it made a lot of progress?" Li Ding'an gave a thumbs up, "I thought so before, but couldn't find it?"

"You were searching around Chagan Lake before..." Yu Huiyin looked at the map: "But is it possible... that it has nothing to do with this lake?"

"The Burial Sutra: Qi is the mother of water, and where there is Qi, there is water..."The Sutra of Suspicious Dragons": When you go to the plains, don't look for traces, but if you look around the water, it is a real dragon... There are no mountains, but there is no water. You can’t gather dragon veins!”

"Is there water?" Yu Huiyin pointed to the ancient geography map around the ancient city, "In addition to Chagan Lake, weren't there many rivers here before?"

Many rivers?

Li Ding'an thought for a while and picked up the picture: Xilin River passes around the city and leads to four tributaries, one in the east, one in the west, one in the south and one in the north, surrounding the ancient city in the middle.

This is a moat, which is a must for any big city, but most of them are in the shape of "口". There don't seem to be many that intersect with each other to form the character "well" like this.

If you don't think of it as a moat, but as a Feng Shui pattern... huh?

Li Ding'an was stunned: "Hello Shu Jing, what did you say before?"

"Ah? I said, the layout of the ancient city corresponds to the Luoshu, and the Fengshui bureau corresponding to the River Map, will it correspond to the Daming Palace or the Luoyang Shenjing?"

Ouch...couldn't it have nothing to do with this lake?
Li Ding'an excitedly patted the hood, hugged Yu Huiyin's face and kissed him.

Then subconsciously, he stretched his hands to the side... In an instant, He Anbang's eyes went straight.

Suddenly, Li Dingan came back to his senses, turned his hand and rubbed Shu Jinghao's head.

"Thank you...thank you...if you hadn't reminded me, I would still have to go into a dead end!"

He said that he couldn't find it no matter what, it turned out that he had positioned the starting coordinates wrong...

"It has nothing to do with this lake, but these four rivers... He Guan, look at the directions of these four rivers, do they look like Yihe, Luohe, Jianhe, Xianhe..."

"Yihe, Luohe...Luoyang?"

"Yes!" Li Ding'an clapped his hands, "I found it: the river map corresponds to the Feng Shui pattern of Luoyang City, the sacred capital of the Tang Dynasty: the rivers and mountains control the wear, and the shape is the best in the world!" (End of this chapter)
