Chapter 476 [Canopy Ruler]!
Having such an understanding of the things in this small closet, Zuo Yang felt a little more relaxed.

However, he was not in a hurry, but waited patiently for the aura gushing out like a flood to slow down a little, and then said to Bu Ya, who was next to him who felt nothing, "I'll illuminate, and you can help me clear these wood. Take it out, be careful when taking it out."

Although he knew that this kind of breath was not harmful to him, he was not completely sure that he would not be affected by other things, so he still had to leave a little way out.

But Bu Ya is different, he doesn't feel this kind of breath at all, he shouldn't be affected by it, and even if there is any effect, he can help him in time with him by his side, on the contrary, Bu Ya is There was no way to help him.

"No problem, brother, leave it to me."

Bu Ya was originally an active person, and standing behind the lighting already made his whole body itch. Hearing Zuo Yang's words, he naturally agreed and moved forward.

One, two, three...

This guy didn't know anything, and he didn't have any precautions or fears in his heart. He was quite quick to pull up those wooden sticks.

After a while, as the wooden strips became less and less, the arrangement of each other naturally became looser and looser. When they got to the back, Bu Ya simply pulled them out one by one, and the speed immediately became a few faster. point.

Soon, more than half of the wooden strips were taken out, revealing a wooden board standing inside, as if it had come to an end.

"Brother, look, how to deal with this piece of wood, I will also remove it together to see what else is behind?"

Bu Ya saw that the wooden stick was almost obtained, so he subconsciously turned around and asked, this guy is actually a rough guy, and he doesn't just act recklessly in any situation.

"Get out of the way, let me take a look first."

Zuo Yang had already seen this piece of wood, but in order to take a closer look, he stepped back from Buya, and leaned closer to think about the piece of wood behind him.

This is also a piece of cypress, judging from the grain on it, this is no longer a cross section of the tree, but a vertical section.

In addition, if you look inside, you can see that on the left and right sides of this board, there are already some wooden sticks similar to those small cypress sticks just now.

But the difference is that the small cypress sticks taken out before are displayed in the north-south direction, while the small cypress sticks on the left and right sides of the board are displayed in the east-west direction... This way of arrangement makes people feel that these small cypress sticks seem to be For something that encloses a certain cube?

"This is……?"

Zuo Yang suddenly thought of something, and quickly picked up the small cypress stick that Bu Ya picked up before to check.

I saw that these small cypress sticks all had the bark removed from the trunk, and all of them showed a light yellow wood color... These are not ordinary cypress, but a unique yellow-heart cypress!

"Yellow sausage problem!?"

The idea was confirmed, and the four words in Zuo Yang's mind instantly became clear.

The so-called "Huang Chang Ti Pu" is a popular form of burial between the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and only the royal family is eligible to use it. Even some princes and important officials who have made great contributions must receive special favor from the royal family Only then can it be regarded as a kind of honor to be buried in this form of burial.

Even so, the princes and important ministers are still unable to use the same yellow heart cypress as the royal family, and can only use pine or other miscellaneous wood.

The characteristics of this form of tomb are the same as what Zuo Yang sees now: one is that the layers are tiled and stacked, and tenons and tenons are generally not used; (or wooden slats) are all perpendicular to the wall panels of the coffin chamber on the same side. If viewed from the inside, only the ends of the square wood can be seen on the four walls. The name of the coffin is derived from this specific method.

This form of burial also has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is: cypress wood contains a unique resin, the wood dries slowly, has strong corrosion resistance, and can emit a unique aroma. In addition to the good smell, this aroma also has the effect of repelling some insects, ants and scavengers. effect.

Just like the pangolin that Zuo Yang met in this cellar, don’t doubt it, although the pangolin looks harmless to humans, but as a master of burrowing, it often digs into some graves and cuts open the coffin It is used for the corpse of the owner of the tomb. From the looks of it, does this little animal suddenly look a little scary?

And the unique smell of cypress wood can play a very good role in driving it away, which is why until now, the coffins sold in coffin shops have to use cypress wood at least at both ends of the coffin...

Of course, these are only the conclusions drawn by some historians and archaeologists from historical materials and found tombs.

As far as Zuo Yang, a descendant of the physiognomy master, knew, "Huang Chang Ti Cou" was not just a simple form of burial, it was actually a very simple and practical formation that ordinary people could complete.

This kind of formation is also known as "Huang Chang Ti Pu". When it first appeared, it was not used as a tomb. It was also created by some special people to store and hide some precious items with special aura. I didn't know it later. What's the matter, this kind of formation has flowed into the secular world, because members of the royal family have to bury a lot of rare treasures when they are buried, so this kind of formation is particularly favored by the royal family, and it is even used as an exclusive form of burial.

This is another benefit of "Huang Chang Ti Ga", it can effectively prevent the special aura emanating from some rare treasures in the sacrificial objects from leaking out, so that it is easy for some people with special talents to pass through the aura. Find the burial place of the tomb owner, or attract the attention of such people, which will lead to the disaster of violent corpses on the streets for the tomb owner.

After the advantages are finished, it comes to the disadvantages:
The disadvantages of this form of burial are also extremely obvious. Because of the structure and materials, once the cemetery suffers from fire or flood, no matter how well it is repaired, it will be completely destroyed.

In addition, the anti-theft effect of this form of tomb is not good. Although it is not easy to be found by people with special talents, it is inevitable that some ordinary people will come across it by chance. In addition, most of the royal tombs are built in On top of the fixed dragon veins, the target range is much smaller. It's okay to say that there were guards when the royal family was in power. Once the dynasty changes, all the mausoleums will inevitably be looted.

It is precisely because of this that since the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao established the official position of "Mojin Xiaowei" with great fanfare. It was completely discarded by later generations.

just now.

The "Huangchang Tibao" that Zuo Yang found in this cellar obviously cannot be a mausoleum, after all, the scale of this "Huangchang Tibao" cannot even hold a child's corpse.

Therefore, this may just be a simple array used to store and hide special items.

And the reason why Zuo Yang didn't feel the existence of these auras at all before is naturally also related to the characteristics of the "Huang Chang Ti Pu" formation. its existence.

"I'm afraid the things inside are not trivial..."

Thinking of these, Zuo Yang's heart jumped again unconsciously.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Seeing the different expressions on Zuo Yang's face, Bu Ya thought Zuo Yang was bewitched by an evil spirit, and asked worriedly.

"Oh, it's all right."

Only then did Zuo Yang come back to his senses, shook his head at him with a smile, then reached out and took out all the small cypress sticks left in front of him, then tapped the cypress board with his fingers.

"Dong dong!"

It was indeed empty inside, and after taking out these small cypress sticks, the board was already a little loose.

He was already completely sure that what he was facing was the "Huang Chang Ti Pu" formation, and Zuo Yang was sure that there would be no danger, so he stopped wasting time on it and directly put his hand into the gap on the edge of the cypress board , pulled it out hard.

"Chicha—!"

With the sound of wood rubbing against each other, the cypress board was directly pulled out by Zuo Yang, revealing a small cuboid space.

This space is probably slightly larger than an ordinary shoebox, and when the light from the mobile phone light shines in, you can see a long strip tightly wrapped in faded red linen.

Also this time.

"Meow--!"

The black cat Chi hiding in the corner suddenly let out another strange cry.

"I'm going, can you stop being startled, it scared me to death!"

Bu Ya was already a little nervous, so he was startled by the cry again, and couldn't help but complain back.

However, Zuo Yang heard a hint of weakness from this cry, and looked back at the black cat, and sure enough, he saw that the poor guy's legs were weak, and he was curled up in a corner, almost unable to stand up.

"Master, I...I'm very sad, can you let me go out first?"

The black cat said weakly to Zuo Yang, feeling a little weak when talking nonsense.

"Go, don't go far."

Zuo Yang could see that the black cat was not pretending, and he had injected a ray of life energy into the black cat, and he was not worried that it would run away, so he waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, master."

The black cat quickly thanked him, then used all his strength to jump up the ladder, and hurried out of the cellar in a gesture of fleeing for his life.

"Alas? Brother, this cat has escaped!"

Bu Ya thought that the black cat was going to leave and never return, so he quickly called out.

"It's okay, it won't go away."

Zuo Yang smiled confidently, then looked again at the long strip wrapped in red in "Huang Chang Ti Pu", carefully took it out, weighed it in his hand .

It's a bit heavy to hold, but it shouldn't be metal, and it's still much lighter than metal.

Hold it through the outer layer of red linen, and you can clearly feel that it is a rectangular strip-shaped object, about the same thickness as the legs of the wooden square stool you used to sit on when you were in school.

"Brother, what the hell is in here?"

Bu Ya's attention was also attracted, and he leaned over and said curiously.

"..."

Zuo Yang was not in a hurry to answer, he calmed down and unhurriedly uncovered the outer layer of red linen, finally revealing the true appearance of the thing - that is a short square wooden stick.

But the difference is that this short wooden stick seems to have been used for a long time, just like the bracelets and walnuts that many people are still playing with. It can even reflect light under the illumination of the lamp.

In addition, the four sides of this short square wooden stick are engraved with some very cumbersome mysterious symbols that even Zuo Yang can't understand, so densely packed that this short wooden stick looks like a Root Pocket Totem...

On the edge of the side of the short wooden stick, there is a horizontal and deeper imprint at the same distance, a total of 9 imprints, which divide the short wooden stick into ten identical sections. Like the scale on a ruler?
"Is this..."

Zuo Yang quickly stretched out his hand, spread his thumb and middle finger to measure the length of this short wooden stick.

One span, two spans, two spans and a little more than an inch?
As a physiognomist, it is the most basic ability to measure the size of some mansions and yin mansions with bare hands. Without any measuring tools, your own hands are of course the most convenient and reliable tool.

When grandpa was alive, he also specially trained Zuo Yang in this area. Zuo Yang is a person with relatively large hands. As long as his hand comes out, it is the most standard 6 inches. One point cannot be more and one point cannot be less, otherwise grandpa The stick in his hand will fall into his hand without mercy.

And the length of this short wooden stick is two 拃 and a little more than an inch, that is, a little over 13 inches, and with the 9 very even scales on the side of the short wooden stick...

"This is a magic weapon commonly used in Taoism, called the canopy ruler!"

Zuo Yang stared at the short wooden stick in his hand, as if introducing it to Bu Ya, and said as if talking to himself, "The canopy ruler is divided into Yin and Yang."

"The yang ruler is also called the Wengong ruler. It is one foot four inches long and divided into eight grids. Each grid is one inch and eight cents, representing different meanings. It can control many affairs in the sun world."

"And the one in my hand is the Yin ruler. The Yin ruler is also called the Dinglan ruler. It is one foot three inches long and divided into ten divisions, which respectively represent Ding, Harm, Prosperity, Bitterness, Righteousness, Officials, Death, Xing, The ten meanings of loss and wealth can control many affairs in the underworld."

"Usually, the two rulers of yin and yang are complementary and inseparable, but here we only found a ruler of yin, which is a bit strange..."

Speaking of this, Zuo Yang's gaze once again fell into the "Huangchang Tigou", but he didn't find anything else.

"Uh……"

Bu Ya was stunned for a long time, but still said in a dazed manner, "Brother, what you said is too profound, I don't quite understand it, but I seem to understand one thing, what you mean should be Say, there are two sets of this kind of ruler in total, and we only found one now, which is not perfect, right?"
