"Haha, Brother Xiang, this is my daughter, she is spoiled by me."
Boss Xing had a smile on his face, and it could be seen that he loved his daughter very much. The girl did not shake my hand, but politely said "Hello", and then continued to pester his father about traveling abroad.
Boss Xing became impatient and left on the pretext of going to the toilet. The fat girl immediately curled her lips and made a face, which was quite cute.
"What's your name? Xiang Yunzheng? My name is Xing Zhenhong."
"Hello, Miss Xing, my name is Xiang Yunfeng." I corrected her.
She looked me up and said, "I see that you and I are about the same age. We are the same generation, so how can my dad call you brother? Isn't this confusing the seniority?"
I smiled and said, "No matter your age, it's just a term in the world."
"What's it called in the world? What does it mean?"
"What kind of job do you do? I rarely see my dad bring other people here. He usually values these bottles and jars of rags and won't let me touch them."
"I work in civil engineering, and these things your dad has are not junk. These are treasures that are thousands of years old."
"Eh...it's so dirty. What a shabby treasure. Look at this thing. It's completely black and rusty. It's probably even thrown into the trash can and no one picks it up." She pointed at a Warring States bronze and said with a frown.
I smiled and said: "This thing is divided into two parts. The upper part is called Zhi, which is used to put meat or pasta. The lower part is called Li, which is used to put water. It is equivalent to the steamer we modern people use."
"What about this big iron bowl?"
"This is not an iron bowl, this is a bronze gui, used to hold rice."
"I know this one! You can often see it in this TV series! It's used for drinking. It's called a jue cup, right?"
I nodded and pointed to another strange-looking bronze vessel and introduced: "This one was also used for drinking in the past. It is more advanced than a jue cup. It is called "斝" and is equivalent to the goblet used by modern people to drink high-end red wine."
"Oh, how much is that worth? Five thousand dollars?"
"More than that, at least six digits."
"Six figures? One hundred thousand, that's not very valuable."
I shook my head. A girl from a wealthy family doesn't have a strong concept of money. In her eyes, spending 100,000 yuan is about the same as spending 10 yuan for ordinary people.
She smiled and said: "You are so awesome, you seem to know everything. Come on, add QQ."
"Say what you say and I'll add you."
After adding each other's contact information, her profile picture looked like a bouquet of roses, and it would change color in a flash.
"Why are you still using the default avatar? It looks so much better with animated pictures."
I didn't say I won't change it, I said I just like the default avatar.
This big villa in Shuozhou is usually mainly occupied by this girl and her mother. Boss Xing may stay here for at most one week a month. This time I was lucky enough to catch him at home.
"Honghong! Come down for dinner!"
"My mother asked us to eat."
"This...how embarrassing is this? I plan to go back."
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Come on, my mother is very good at her crafts."
At the dinner table, I don't know if it was because of my presence as an outsider, but the girl ate very little. Her mother gave her a piece of meat and had to put it back, saying that she wanted to lose weight.
Boss Xing immediately put down the soup bowl and said with an unhappy expression: "Girls are too thin and don't look good. In the Tang Dynasty, fatness was considered beautiful. My daughter, you are just right like this. Brother Xiang, don't you think so?"
She bit her chopsticks and looked at me secretly.
I said yes, that's right.
What else can I say?
She is indeed fat. At a height of over 1.6 meters, I think over 100 pounds is suitable. She weighs 140 to 50 pounds by visual inspection, but she is only slightly fat.
Tingting is the really fat one, 1.5 meters tall and 200 pounds. She looks round when you look at her standing, lying down, from the front, or from the side.
After dinner, Boss Xing asked me to go to the study room to have a cup of tea before leaving. I thought it was just for a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, he suddenly pulled out some photos from a book for me to look at.
These photos were taken of a large mountain with very good scenery. Some were taken from a distance and some were taken at a close range. He asked me what I thought after seeing them.
I'm not a local, so I don't know what kind of mountain this is, but when I took a closer look at the "panoramic photo", I felt something stirred in my heart.
"This place... has such good feng shui."
"Three mountains and two highs, these two places are obviously the place of four images."
The land of four images is like a pen stand, an ingot, a camel's hump, and a saddle.
"Then do you think this mountain is suitable for burying people in a tomb?"
I frowned and said, "The Land of Four Images is not good for everyone. Those who are not rich and lucky cannot be worthy of it. If you force yourself to be a match, it will depend on how well the experts tap the acupuncture points."
Boss Xing nodded: "As expected of a professional, this is the mountain here, called Black Camel Mountain. There is a large tomb on the mountain that has never been found."
"Big tomb?"
I picked up the long shot and looked at it again, then raised my head and asked whose tomb it was?
He whispered: "People in the local area and neighboring cities basically know that the tomb of Li Qi, the third son of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, is the ancient tomb of King Feng."
"Oh? Is it a legend or is there a clear record?"
"There are records, whether it is the new Pinglu County Chronicle or the old Datong Prefecture Chronicle, that the big tomb is on Heituo Mountain. We also have a saying here that if the water scrapes the tomb of King Feng, the eighteen counties of Jiuzhou will be prosperous."
"This is quite interesting. In the first few years, Shuozhou wanted to develop tourism, so they just circled an area on Heituo Mountain and said it was the general area of King Feng's Tomb."
"Brother Xiang, can you tell the approximate location of the ancient tomb?"
"How long is this mountain?"
"If you include the area to the north, it's almost twenty kilometers."
"How can you tell? You can't tell. Besides, there are many masters in Shanxi. Even if there are, I think the chances are high."
Boss Xing nodded and said, "Indeed, it's okay. I'll just ask."
After returning to the hotel, I took a shower, pulled the box out from under the bed, put the money in piles on the bed, and lay down naked on it, staring at the ceiling.
How much money is enough?
At this moment, I feel that no amount is enough.
I searched online for the Black Tuo Mountain mentioned by Boss Xing, and found a lot of related stories, such as the tomb of King Feng that was opened after a thousand years, and the shepherd who accidentally broke into the ancient tomb and saw a piece of gold made of gold.
The golden boy and the everlasting lamp, and so on.
Putting on my clothes, I ran to the front desk of the hotel and asked for two pieces of blank paper.
First I drew the outline of the "far-sighted photo" that Boss Xing showed me. Then I turned on my phone to look at the map. By comparing it, I drew the direction of the Luliang Mountains in Shanxi.
The two pictures came together slowly, and at first glance I didn’t think there was anything wrong with them.
well....?
I turned around the "distant view photo" and then looked at it, and I suddenly discovered that... this damn Shuozhou Heituo Mountain is the starting point of the entire Luliang Mountains.
I frowned subconsciously, this is not a coincidence, there is a saying.
Daxing Taihang Wuwu Mausoleum was formed by the Yellow River in Luliang. Among the Wuyi Snow Peaks in Changbai, Tainan Dragon Vein is located in the east.
The more I read, the more shocked I became, because the branches of the dragon vein outside Yanmen Pass in Luliang Taihang can be regarded as "small dragon veins", which means that the black mountain in Shuozhou is the "leading head".
Another point is that Feng Shui masters in the Tang Dynasty were best at making use of the semi-raised four-image land, such as the location of Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum, which was sandwiched between the two "Rufeng Peaks" on Liangshan Mountain.
I was thinking about it when my phone suddenly vibrated and someone sent me a message.
When I saw it, it was Boss Xing's daughter who had just joined me this afternoon. She sent me a smiley face, followed by a line of text.
"I'm at the Internet cafe, come over and play Audition."
I replied: "Your father doesn't care about you?"
She quickly sent a message saying:
"He just returned to Datong because of something. Are you coming? My classmate is also there, a beautiful woman."
