golden escape

Fang You looked at the soil on the ground, recalled what Elder Wei said just now, and picked up a little soil from time to time to observe carefully. Finally, he said with a smile: "Old Wei, the soil is uniform in color, not too big at all. It is compact and pure, without any debris inside, it must be what you always call raw soil."

Old Wei nodded and smiled, "Xiaoyou, your eyesight is very strong. Distinguishing between raw soil and mature soil is only the first step. If there is mature soil below, we need to judge the overall distribution based on the distribution of raw soil and mature soil. The scope and specific location of the tombs, some tomb robbers who are very familiar with the tombs of various dynasties can directly break into the main tomb or the accompanying burial room, this is the effect of their rich experience."

"Of course, if what they encounter is not a tomb with an overall land structure, but rocks or mountain stones, then it will take more effort, but this way, there is no need to distinguish between raw soil and mellow soil, and they can determine the absolute depth of the earth below. There is something."

Mr. Wei picked up the Luoyang shovel and made four more holes around the previously dug hole. These five holes are connected together like a plum blossom. He pointed at the five holes and said to the other party: " In order to ensure accuracy, we will not miss any underground tomb, so when we drill with Luoyang shovel, we need to drill five holes per square meter, which are called plum blossom holes by people in the archaeological field. We will not miss the traces left behind."

Fang You nodded, so that he could accurately analyze the overall structure of the soil by watching the soil drilled by the five holes.

No wonder some tomb robbers can find tombs deep from the ground in barren mountains and wild ridges. This Luoyang shovel is very powerful, which is equivalent to letting the soil speak for itself, telling users where there are tombs.

Looking at the different models of Luoyang shovels in Old Wei's tool bag, Fang You asked with some doubts: "Old Wei, why are these Luoyang shovels different in size?"

Old Wei smiled, "The tombs of each dynasty have their own specific customs, so the depth of the tombs and the materials used to build the tombs are also different, so according to the tombs of each dynasty, many Luoyang shovels have been derived. , For example, this is a heavy shovel, which is used when exploring the Han tomb, which is about ten meters away from the surface, and a heavy shovel can bring more soil up."

"And what we are excavating are the tombs of the Ming Dynasty. We can use this small model, and the same is true for exploring the surrounding area, because some tombs are not isolated alone. Sometimes a large tomb group will be explored because of one tomb, so , what we are doing now is to find out if there are any connected tombs around this tomb." Wei Lao said with a smile, Luoyang shovel has developed to the present, and has formed a faction. It is improved from the first Luoyang shovel.

Fang You nodded as if he had realized something. Due to many factors such as family and Feng Shui, it is not surprising that there are other tombs next to some tombs. Just like the Qinling Mountains, there may be countless The tombs of the Qinling Mountains can cover almost all dynasties in China, just because the Qinling Mountains are respected by many people as the dragon vein of Chinese civilization.

Everyone, after their death, probably wants to find a geomantic treasure land so that future generations will be able to glorify their ancestors. This is the main reason why there are many tombs in the land of dragon veins.

After studying with Mr. Wei for a whole morning, Fang You became very proficient in using the Luoyang shovel, so he separated from Mr. Wei and continued to dig holes and explore the surrounding land.

During this period, he used the escape technique to look at the underground about four or five meters away from him, but it was the same as when Luoyang shovel was exploring. The bottom was empty, and there was no trace of tombs.

What was absorbed from the ground was still a faint trace of aura. If there were tombs below, no matter how ordinary the antiques were, there would be much more than this thin aura.

Wang Chao and Li Qing bored drilling holes, and their weak appearance really made people feel a little helpless. The fun they had at the beginning was gradually replaced by boredom and physical exhaustion. Looking at Fang You next to him, he was still playing tirelessly. Looking at the hole, as if it was so interesting, they couldn't help raising their spirits, they couldn't be defeated by this kid who just started.

It's a pity that when it was time to eat at noon, the few of them didn't gain anything. Old Wei was used to it. Sometimes he spent more than a month exploring the tombs in the barren mountains without finding anything. "Don't be discouraged, archaeological work is like this." , Be persistent, because you don't know when the surprise will come, maybe at the moment you persevere, the surprise will appear in front of you without hesitation."

Li Qing and Wang Chao felt the same way, especially when they explored the tomb of the late Ming Dynasty that was being excavated. They dug holes for several kilometers around and almost gave up, but they gritted their teeth and persisted, but not for a while , they found the cooked soil brought out from the hole by the Luoyang shovel. At that time, they shouted excitedly, and their hearts were full of unspeakable excitement and surprise.

Fang You didn't feel discouraged either, because he had inspected the area around the tomb for a few miles yesterday, and there was no trace of the tomb. What he was doing now was just learning about Luoyang Shovel And some knowledge of burials.

Although my evasion technique is powerful, finding a tomb depends on luck. A master archaeologist and an experienced tomb robber can judge without a Luoyang shovel. Whether there are tombs in a place, their size, and the age of the tombs are, of course, somewhat exaggerated.

However, if you have a good understanding of the feng shui customs of the tomb, you can break the stupid way of finding the tomb by luck. Now Wei Lao also judges a place and then analyzes it with a Luoyang shovel, not where he hits.

It's like a mountain stretching for hundreds of miles. Five holes are drilled per square meter. It will take until the year of the monkey to drill. This is what Fang You needs to learn.

In the afternoon, I continued to follow Mr. Wei to learn the most basic knowledge of tombs, and before I knew it, I spent another night in the tombs.

The next day, after studying all morning and having lunch, Mr. Wei said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, the basic knowledge is almost explained, and there is still plenty of time. A young man can't just stay in the cemetery. If you are suffering from illness, if you stay in this cemetery for a long time, you will become lifeless, you and Li Qinghe Wang Chao go back to the city for a stroll, relax, and come back tomorrow morning."

Fang You readily agreed, even if Mr. Wei didn't say anything, he was going to take a leave of absence and go to the city to have a look. After all, in his subconscious mind, he was still thinking about Xu Mengyun and the three of them. He didn't know where the tomb robbers were now. Did you leave the city and come to the boundless Qinling Mountains?

The introverted Dynasty and his personality cheered, but Li Qing hesitated, because he also suffered from motion sickness, and the bumpy mountain road was a painful torture. Stomach, vomit on the road.

"Old Wei, I won't go, I'm motion sick." Li Qing said with a wry smile, but he was a little surprised that Wang Chao, who had always been afraid of riding in a car, was so cheerful this time.

Elder Wei smiled helplessly, "Xiaoqing, you have to overcome this weakness, you have to face it, not escape it."

"Brother Qing, don't be afraid, our brother You has a way to cure motion sickness. Last time I came back by car, did you see that I vomited? I am full of energy." Thinking of having another companion on the journey, Wang Chao smiled Said to Li Qing.

Elder Wei couldn't help but look at Fang You, "Old Wei, you don't have to look at me like that, it's just to stimulate some acupoints to regulate the nerves of various organs. I also learned from my master." Fang You couldn't help but said with a wry smile.

"My old man is convinced, as if there is nothing in this world that you don't know." Elder Wei sighed, and scolded with a smile. He is very accomplished in antiques, has a good harvest in rough jadeite, and can also practice Tai Chi Boxing, now he even knows how to cure diseases, he is both civil and military.

"Coincidence, just a coincidence." Fang You said with some shame, there are so many things in this world that he doesn't know, it's really a coincidence.

Li Qing's expression was still a little hesitant. He could face the dead in the tomb without any fear, but this motion sickness seemed as terrifying to him as a wolf and a tiger. Does it work?"

"Brother Qing, I guarantee it will work. It can cure motion sickness and vomiting. After you try it once, you will know the effect. And now I have learned it. Even without Brother You, I can relieve the pain of motion sickness." Wang Chao patted his chest to assure Li Qing, but the words he said made Fang You a little helpless, mother, you think this is selling rat poison, and you have tried everything.

Thinking of how the dynasty looked alive when he came back, Li Qing nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I'll go with you."

After Li Qing agreed, the three of them got into an off-road vehicle, driven by a soldier, and headed straight for the city. In the vehicle, after walking for a while, Li Qing frowned tightly. It seemed that he had already started to faint before the car had gone far.

Fang You smiled, this is the psychological effect of the fear of motion sickness, this psychological effect, no matter how flat the road is, only he is sitting in the car, smelling the smell of gasoline mixed in it, he can't help but feel Symptoms of motion sickness will occur.

Seeing this, Wang Chao couldn't help pulling Li Qing's arm over, and lightly pinched the Neiguan acupoint with his fingers. Seeing that Li Qing was still in some pain, his expression changed, and he turned his head to the panicked opponent and said: : "Brother You, look, it doesn't work."
