I opened my eyes sleepily and stared at the military green tent in a daze.

My temples are swelling and painful, and I wake up every time I dream about it. Because what happened after that is what I really don't want to face.

In my memory, Erpang and Nizi fell down a deep pit near the hill. After waking up, what appeared before us was a majestic underground palace. We went deep into the underground palace, and then we saw a terrifying scene in the center of the hall.

Countless corpse figures in armor stood there, maggots and flies drilled in and out of the corpse figures' eye sockets.

When we approached and looked, the corpse figure dressed as a general on the platform in the distance suddenly moved. It raised the long spear in its hand heavily, making a creepy giggle, and then all the corpse figures came alive!

Thousands of corpses rushed towards us with a stern claw, and the three of us shouted and fled.

Then, we were lost.

When I finally found the exit and escaped. When I returned to the village, both Nizi and Erpang were missing. Later, Nizi's parents blocked my doorstep and wandered around with knives every day.

So much so that I had to climb over the window and escape from the vegetable field behind my house.

I have never returned to my hometown since then.

After graduating from high school, I applied for archaeology without hesitation.

Because I always think that one day I can find the underground palace, maybe there will be the whereabouts of Nizi and Erpang. Even if it is a corpse, I will explain it to their family.

"Hey, Siyu, Professor Jiang is looking for you." When I was addicted to the guilt of the past and couldn't let go for a long time, the outer curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted open.

The person who spoke was Liu Sa, who was in charge of geological exploration in the archaeological team. He was one year older than me and majored in geology in college. He was my senior and senior brother. He was very cheerful and took good care of me.

Professor Jiang, who he mentioned, is real name Jiang Zhehu. He is the oldest scholar with the richest archaeological experience in Xi'an Institute of Archaeology. During his college years, he served as my professional tutor.

We were very close to each other. In private, Teacher Jiang always talked to me that his name sounds free shipping.

In fact, generally speaking, it is difficult for a rookie like me who just graduated from college to have the opportunity to participate in the field inspection. But for some reason, Teacher Jiang asked me to participate in this field exploration by name.

By chance, the destination this time is not far from Xichuan. It is just outside Nanyang City, which may be the reason why I have been worried.

"Come here." I packed everything and followed Senior Liu Sa to the high slope one kilometer away.

Professor Jiang was standing on the high slope and looking into the distance with binoculars. The members of the same team were conducting exploration and measurement, which was quite as if the general was commanding and supervising the battle.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Hearing my voice, Professor Jiang put down the telescope in his hand. He did not look back at me, but pointed to the land beside him and signaled me to go to him.

Senior Liu Sa nodded at me and left.

I felt uneasy. It felt like I was called by the teacher in the office in middle school. You could always think about whether you didn’t do your homework well or dozing off in class.

I came to Professor Jiang tremblingly. He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. I just let go of my energy and looked into the distance.

We were silent for a long time, and finally Professor Jiang asked me: "Siyu, how about the terrain here?"

I looked around.

This is a small basin, surrounded by mountains, and there is a winding river in the south of the mountain. The woods on the mountain are nourished by the river for a long time and are very dense.

The place where we worked was on the outside of the basin. At the beginning, we did dig out a few pottery slices, but then we didn't get any more.

I said, "The scenery is beautiful, the grass is lush, it's pretty good..."

"I'm not going to listen to this." Unexpectedly, Professor Jiang shook his head, turned his head to face my surprised gaze, and showed a meaningful smile, "Do you understand Feng Shui? Tell me about it?"

I was stunned.

I remember that I never revealed the fact that I understand Feng Shui in front of anyone. The reason is that in today's era of scientificism supremacy, few people believe in the theory of Feng Shui.

Whenever you talk about Feng Shui and numerology to others, you will treat you as an alien or a charlatan.

"I don't know much, I just read novels occasionally, and I know a little bit..." This is not humble. I haven't studied the things my grandfather taught me when I was a child.

When I was in college, I also thought about picking up those things again because of my studies in archaeology. But after I really studied it, I realized that I knew very little about the real Feng Shui knowledge.

At this time, several team members had already brought back the samples from the soil layer and were preparing to take them for testing and analysis later.

When I heard Professor Jiang ask me to talk about Feng Shui, I came over.

Someone teased: "Professor, you are also interested in these erroneous things."

"Yes, isn't this something that only tomb robbers has? What are the things that divide gold and acupuncture points, dragon veins, etc. I said, Xiao Siyu, don't fool people with the things in the novel!"

"Yes, don't you also want to say a mantra like finding dragons and dividing gold to see the mountains, right? Haha."

Look, this is the ridicule that the metaphysics will attract in front of people.

Professor Jiang waved his hand and signaled them to be quiet, then smiled gently, "It doesn't matter, you just say it casually, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong. Just listen to the story when everyone is resting."

I sighed, so I had to slowly talk about it: "In fact, Feng Shui is different from other things, and it has a certain scientific basis. Guo Pu, a scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote "Burma Book", which is known as the three major architectural books in ancient times."

"The Feng Shui of tombs in China emphasizes the 'Ling Zhong Dongying', which means that after people die, they must be able to interact with the heavens and man in order to bless future generations. Therefore, Feng Shui is the so-called Feng Shui. Feng Shui is wind and water. It uses wind to regulate qi and generates water to produce storing water, which is called Feng Shui treasure land."

"Scientifically, the trend of water flow can ensure that the tomb is not damaged by moisture, while the stable wind direction can ensure that strong winds cannot erode the soil of the tomb."

I opened my phone and looked at the map: "The so-called 'dragon vein' refers to the veins of the mountain, symbolizing 'qi'. Often, the mountains are related to the geographical environment. As for this type of geology, I believe senior Liu Sa knows better than me."

Liu Sa nodded.

I continued: "The Ming Dynasty picture book "Sancai Tuhui" records that there are three 'gan dragons' in our country, with Kunlun Mountain as. Asxs., divided into three 3, south, north and middle. The place where we are is Zhonglong, a branch of Taihang Mountain."

I pointed to the map to show it to everyone, and used the mapping software to standardize the Taihang Mountains. The entire mountain range was like a giant dragon with five claws spreading, and we were under one of its dragon claws.

I put away my phone and looked around: "In Feng Shui, the best tomb treasure land emphasizes the correspondence between sand and water. Sand refers to the mountains around the tomb, and water refers to the direction of the water flow in front of the tomb. Similarly, through these two, we can also push the location of the tomb passage."

I pointed to the flatter mountain on the top of the farther mountain: "Sand has four momentums, and the four momentums protect each other so that the wind can be blocked outside and cannot be blown in. There is Xuanwu."

I pointed to the hill below us, which was relatively low compared to the opposite side: "Blue Dragon, White Tiger."

Finally, he pointed to the mountain on the other side: "Surpriser Bird."

There was a winding river under the protection of the Vermilion Bird: "There is a river at the foot of the mountain. I noticed it when I came. The river channel was winding and long, and the place where the main is located. The only bad thing is that the inlet is too small, which means that the tomb owner is not incense."

"According to what you said, there must be a large tomb nearby?"

Before he finished speaking, the team member who was still working under the hill suddenly shouted loudly: "Professor! Captain Zhao! There is a thief hole!"

Even I was stunned. Unexpectedly, my knowledge of the half-small fur actually hit a dead mouse, and I was right.

Others also showed excitement and complex expressions.

We followed Professor Jiang all the way down the slope.

Professor Jiang is also an old man in his sixties. He usually looks old, but when he hears there is a hole, he runs very fast. If he has a few collapsed poles in front, he might be able to break Liu Xiang's record.

A few minutes later, we came to the thief hole. At this time, the construction site was crowded with people, some were members of the archaeological team, and some were local farmers who assisted in the construction.

Everyone was very nervous. After all, Henan has not known how many large tombs have been buried since ancient times. Each of them has made amazing discoveries. There is even a saying in Henan that one tomb will be one step at a time.

Professor Jiang put on white gloves and gently pushed away the soil around the thief hole. He twisted it with his fingers, then looked over.

I was observing by the side and couldn't help but sigh that the tomb robber's body was really thin. The hole was only as big as a human head. Could it be that there was really any bone shrinkage in this world?

Professor Jiang looked at it with a flashlight, then shook his head helplessly: "I can't get in at all. I really don't know how the tomb robbers who dug holes got in, and there was no residue around them. And judging from the soil, the excavation of this hole has been at least nearly a hundred years."

Is this cave a cultural relic?

Professor Jiang turned to look at me: "Siyu, can you continue what you just said?"

I know what the professor means. We worked here for three or four days and basically got nothing.

Not to mention the intersection of the tomb passage, there is not even the remaining information or tombstones.

Now, if you really want to talk about the method of hope, Feng Shui may be more reliable. Although this science is too metaphysical, it is more targeted for the ancients who believe in metaphysics more.

I pointed to the surrounding wasteland: "It is open and bright, and I estimate it is at least 10 hectares in size. This tomb must be quite large. The method of positioning the tomb in Feng Shui is called pointing acupoints, but it is not based on finding a dragon ruler, but on the eyes to observe."

"Observe the 'Mingtang' to determine the location of the tomb. The so-called Mingtang refers to the flat and open area in front of the tomb, which is divided into small Mingtang, inner Mingtang and outer Mingtang." I pointed to the land under my feet, "The one under our feet is called Nei Mingtang. According to the nearby sand and water trend, we can basically confirm that this is Mingtang."

I looked back, and the others looked back with my eyes: "The entrance of the tomb should be right behind me."

"Oh?" Professor Jiang's eyes lit up after hearing this. He personally picked up the shovel and took the archaeological team and migrant workers to the place where I was talking about, and started digging without saying a word.

As we digged, we heard a clang sound.

Suddenly the whole basin valley became quiet, and someone raised his head and shouted: "Digged! Digged!"

Everyone ran over to see that white stones were vaguely exposed under the thick layer of soil.

The construction site suddenly exploded, and everyone started digging with the hole with white stone exposed as the center.

However, an hour passed and there was nothing but Shiraishi.

What is certain is that there is indeed a large tomb hidden below, but obviously what we just dug is not the entrance of the tomb passage, but the top of the tomb.

"You're not very accurate, kid." Captain Zhao patted my shoulder and smiled, "But I admire you very much, I have a lot of knowledge."

Others passed by me one after another, showing the same expression.

It’s like a child who got the first place in the whole grade, and the others just said: Ah, you are not bad, you are lucky.

That grievance and unwillingness aroused my competitive spirit more and more.

It was getting dark soon.

Everyone should go home and go home if they should set up camp and eat.

I sat on the high hill where Professor Jiang stood in Bai Tian, ​​looking up at the sky gradually entering the dark night.
To be continued...
