Apart from the later water diversion projects built along the way, we actually didn’t see a few natural rivers. This shows that the land here is not very fertile, especially in the absence of irrigation facilities in ancient times. It is estimated that this place can only rely on heaven’s harvest, that is,
Counting on rain for irrigation.
Judging from the topography, this place is an alluvial plain. The entire hills are alluvial from the river, and now the river is dozens of miles away. The mountains are dragon bones and the water is dragon blood. This place has bones but no blood. It is not the first-rate.
It is a treasure of Feng Shui. But since the fiefdom of the Zanhou family is buried here, is it possible that the terrain has changed so much from ancient to modern times? This is viewed from the perspective of Yangzhai Feng Shui, which is now the so-called human settlement environment.
Looking at the burial site, Ding Li admitted that he had underestimated the feng shui of this place. Especially here, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, including a mountain and a bright hall. Although the mountain is not high, it has the power of a python, which is suitable for a prince.
Buried. If the mountains here are majestic, it is possible to get dragon veins, but it is no longer suitable for burying princes and nobles.
But now, a water channel flows through, like a jade belt, just split open. No matter how good the wind and water are, it has already vented all the earth's energy.
But then again, Feng Shui only lasts for one lifetime. The Western Han Dynasty has been two thousand years since now, and this Feng Shui spirit has already finished its development.
The remaining two tombs had already been buried by loess. The last time Ma Boyuan and others came here, they dug a hole before they could see it. The two mounds that had been invisible for a long time were covered with sparse crops.
It doesn't grow well near water channels.
According to Professor Ma Boyuan, one of the methods in modern archeology is to observe the growth of crops to determine the size of the ancient tomb remains underground. This is because whether it is the remains or after the tombs, the soil is different from the natural soil and different from the surrounding soil.
Crops grown on natural soil are also different.
After bending down and getting in, he saw that the tomb was quite large, but it no longer had any eerie and mysterious feeling. The murals on the walls had long faded and could not be seen clearly. This made Ding Li feel a big difference in his heart. He originally thought that
What would it be like inside the ancient tomb? It was nothing more than that, with no valuables at all. It was so empty that it looked like a cellar.
In fact, Ding Li was ignorant of Mount Tai, and Ma Boyuan and the others didn’t say anything about it. The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles, these tombs are authentic Han bricks!
Ding Li took a look at these murals. Although they were faded, he could still see them clearly. He originally thought they were carved, but then he realized that they were actually fired.
It is said that the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty was supervised by Xiao He. Thousands of years later, people found those exquisite Han Dynasty palace bricks on the original site of the Weiyang Palace, and they were collected by people. They were even made into inkstones because of their excellent texture. This is
The famous Chengni Inkstone. Especially in modern times, there are fewer bricks and tiles from the Qin and Han Dynasties surviving, so they are even more valuable.
It is said that the method of making Qin bricks and Han tiles is to first float a silk bag in flowing water, open the mouth of the bag against the waves, and let the running water pass through, filtering the sediment in the water. After about one year, the bag is full of mud, take it out and air-dry, and then make Qin bricks and Han tiles.
.After firing, the texture is like pottery, and then it is made through a series of nine classic processes such as roughening, carving, and polishing. The stone is fine and smooth, and when pressed, it has the sound of jade!
Don't look at this tomb as empty, but since it is the tomb bricks of the Xiao He family, you can imagine that they are well made. You must know that Changle Palace was built by Xiao He himself. If these tomb bricks are sold, it can be
That’s a lot of money!
However, Ma Boyuan and the others are real scholars, and they hate the destruction of ancient monuments. They would rather leave these tomb bricks with loess than let others destroy them at will. So they didn’t even say a word to Ding Li.
As mentioned before, Ding Li didn’t know what he had missed until much later...
He looked at these vivid murals, which were fired directly on the tomb bricks and then put together. The portraits were very rich in content, including gate buildings, various figures, music and dance, carriages and horses, hunting, animal taming, and shooting.
Thorns, animals, myths. These are not the incomprehensible abstract paintings that Ding Li saw in Kejia Cave or Shennongjia Ghost Cave in western Hunan. Even Ding Li, who has no artistic talent, can appreciate them. Moreover, these murals
There is also a faint air of energy on it, which almost makes Ding Li feel like he is actually there.
"Is this the star map?" Zhou Qing's words interrupted Ding Li's wandering mind in the murals. Just now, Ding Li was in the qi machine and these vivid visual effects, as if he had personally experienced the life of the Western Han Dynasty nobles.
I just couldn't get enough of it.
I didn’t understand before that why so much effort was put into building such a big project inside the tomb, so that everything is alive and dead. It turns out that if the soul of the tomb owner is still there, it can almost match the murals or the energy in the tomb chamber.
The opportunity to interact with the tomb owner allows the soul of the tomb owner to linger among these murals and utensils, and live the same life as before his death.
However, large tombs that can reach this level are rare after all, because only master artists who can achieve certain artistic attainments can pour their spirit into their works. Such works of art that can be handed down are extremely valuable works of art.
In ancient times, these people were just craftsmen and painters with low status.
"Is this a star map?" Ding Li's eyes widened and he almost cried out. A vast aura almost rushed towards him. Ding Li almost thought he had seen the bronze mirror-shaped star map in Kejia Cave again. Fortunately,
The thing is that the energy contained in this star map is far inferior to the one in Kejia Cave. And Ding Li's own cultivation level has also grown a lot. Otherwise, if his spiritual sense is rushed by this energy, he will not die.
Crazy. There is no black beauty here to save him!
"I finally know what happened to Zhang Yu!" Ding Li took a deep breath.
"What's wrong?"
"Can we save him?" Several people stared at Ding Li nervously, fearing that Ding Li would say bad words, and hoping that the words "can save" would come out of Ding Li's mouth!
"How do you feel when you look at this star map?" Ding Li asked. He was also a little curious about how ordinary people would feel when they saw this star map.
"I'm a little dizzy and want to vomit!" Xiang Yang said honestly.
"My eyes are dazzled after looking at it for a long time, as if the stars inside are moving!" Ma Boyuan exclaimed: "It's amazing that the ancients had such high artistic achievements! This painting has a 'god'."
Zhou Qing still asked anxiously: "Mr. Ding, please stop being so secretive. If you have anything to do, you'd better tell me earlier!"
Ding Li smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I can save your girlfriend!" At this time, he was confident.
Zhou Qing blushed and said hesitantly: "She is not my girlfriend..."
