The ancients believed that a person should be buried in peace, so they were basically buried in the ground.
And burial requires a coffin. In addition to protecting the bones, it also has the intention of getting promoted and making a fortune, and it also contains the wish to protect future generations.
Except for very special circumstances where gold, copper, stone and other materials are used, coffins are mostly made of wood.
Princes, generals and ministers sometimes used precious woods such as sunken wood, nanmu, and rosewood as coffin wood.
Wealthy people who are more particular will use pine, elm, catalpa, willow, paulownia, etc.
The poor have no choice but to buy good wood and can only make do with whatever is available.
If you're worried, there are some who use locust wood.
If there is really no other way, it is common to dismantle the bed and piece together a coffin with jujube, peach, or pear boards, or even bury it directly with a broken straw mat.
There is no coffin in this ancient tomb, which is very detrimental to Lin Yian's situation.
Heizi has two fake Xuande furnaces on his body, which were made by Mr. Feng himself. Lin Yian secretly hid them a few years ago, hoping that one day they would be put to use.
Unless an old collector who has studied Xuande furnaces for decades does not personally identify it, Lin Yian believes that others will not be able to tell it is a fake.
Although he betrayed Mr. Feng, Lin Yian was still very confident in Mr. Feng's ability to make old mistakes, and he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Although the key to making the game is there, the current situation is full of uncertain variables.
Originally, Lin Yian felt that there must be a few pieces of rotten wood and broken coffin boards in this tomb, but the reality was that there were none!
This is a bit difficult to handle.
Just imagine, the toppler took away all the coffin boards, how could he leave behind two priceless Ming Dynasty xuan furnaces and not take them away?
This is totally unreasonable.
The other party is also a seasoned veteran, which can be said to be a fatal flaw.
It is impossible for Lin Yian to bring in another coffin now, so he is very annoyed.
Of course, Lin Yian could use force to keep the other party, but this would be a life-and-death situation, and he would not be able to get his own money back.
To punish the other party and get the money is Lin Yian's real purpose this time.
Woo!
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew up in the tomb, making Lin Yian's back feel chilly.
He was shocked. After many years of fighting, he didn't believe anyone, "No, is it Blackie who wants to suddenly attack?"
In an instant, Lin Yian's right hand touched his waist, where an imported folding engineering shovel hung. It was made of alloy and was extremely sharp. It could easily break bricks, let alone people.
But he immediately let go of his hand, because Heizi's roaring voice came from a few meters away, "Brother Lin, why don't you step on my shoulders and take down these porcelain figurines?"
Lin Yian calmed down and said with a smile: "Heizi, those things will be in our pocket sooner or later. There is no need to worry about this. You can get my compass first."
"Compass?" Heizi was a little confused.
"It's that square plate."
Xiling warriors don't use compasses in reverse fighting, but have special tools for finding graves, so Heizi is really not very familiar with compasses.
With the compass in hand, Lin Yian's energy and spirit changed.
Gently touching the mellow, simple and elegant Yang Gongpan in his hand, Lin Yian suddenly showed a trace of solemnity on his face.
Lin Yian bought this compass at a large price from an old Feng Shui master who washed his hands in a golden basin.
It is much smaller than an ordinary compass and can be held in one hand.
The history of this compass is said to date back to the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This family has been passed down from generation to generation for nineteen generations, and of course it cost Lin Yian millions to buy it.
Lin Yian basically takes this compass with him wherever he goes.
As we all know, the compass was originally a measuring tool in ancient times, and later became a special prop for Feng Shui masters.
The compass is divided into Tianchi, inner disk and outer disk.
There is also the theory of heaven, earth and human beings.
That is, vertical direction, grid dragon, incoming water, outgoing water, eliminating sand, blocking evil spirits, etc.
For many people, the compass is too complicated and seems like a heavenly book.
But it’s actually not difficult for people who are familiar with it.
Where the sky is round, the circle in the center of the compass is called Tianchi, which is the position of the magnetic needle. To put it bluntly, it is the compass.
There is an old saying: The magnetic needle points to the meridian point, and the nine palaces and eight trigrams are divided here.
Mainly based on the turf, a deviation of 7.5 degrees clockwise is the celestial disk.
An error of 7.5 degrees counterclockwise is a human chart.
Today's compasses are indeed too complicated, with more than fifty layers. I wish I had to add everything that has anything to do with metaphysics.
But the old compass is different, because the layers of the old compass are not customizable.
Generally speaking, the outside of Laopan Tianchi is the Xiantian Bagua, and the outside is the Twenty-Four Mountains. What is further outside depends on what the Feng Shui master likes.
For example, the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the twenty-four stars, the seventy-two dragons, the sixty-four hexagrams, the sixty years, the sixty cents of gold, the hundred and two cents of gold, the twenty-eight constellations, etc. are all engraved according to the wishes of the Feng Shui master.
p>
In fact, Lin Yian still hasn't fully understood the calculation of bad and bad positions based on the various calculations on the compass.
But the best thing about this old plate is that it is easy to use.
It can be said to be extremely simple.
Lin Yian only needs to look at the magnetic needle of Tianchi on this plate, because this plate can actively sense evil spirits.
Tombs are divided into five elements.
Yinwuwu is the fire bureau.
Shen Zichen is the water bureau.
Siyou Chou is the golden bureau.
Haimao is not a wooden position.
Among them, water and soil are in the same situation.
For example, this Ge Lao Tomb is a fire station.
Now it's full of water, especially cinnabar water for no apparent reason.
The conflict between water and fire has caused the magnetic field in the tomb to be very unstable. Now the magnetic needle of the compass in Lin Yian's hand is spinning constantly, which is reminding Lin Yian to get out of the tomb quickly.
The so-called magnetic field instability must have referred to invisible things such as ghosts in ancient times.
It's just that Lin Yian doesn't believe this and thinks it's superstition.
In Lin Yian's fighting career, the random rotation of this compass needle mostly reminded the user that there was insufficient oxygen in the tomb, or there was a sudden change in the terrain, such as a landslide.
Normally, Lin Yian would have turned around and left long ago.
Cinnabar was not cheap in ancient times. Who knows what the tomb owner did for putting so much cinnabar in the tomb?

After all, no matter how important money is, it is an external possession, far less important than life. But now that Lin Yi'an is so poor that he can only wear pants, he must use this ancient tomb as a tactic to get back the lost wealth.
So he can't leave!
You can’t leave even if you die!
"Damn, there are variables in Feng Shui and numerology. It is said that wealth can be obtained through danger. Even if there is any danger in this tomb, I must give him a hand today!"
But whose tomb belongs to it?
Is it a tomb or a tomb within a tomb?
The coffin is filled up and used as a tomb.
Then build a mound of earth into a tomb.
It is a tomb that is sealed with bricks and stones and then erected with a tablet inscribed with the person's name and life story.
The ancients put less emphasis on life and more on death. They paid attention to poor maintenance and rich burial, and they wanted to die with dignity.
There is another level: Feng Shui treasure land can bless future generations.
Judging from Lin Yian's metaphysical knowledge, he believed that this ancient tomb had good Feng Shui, facing south, with water in front and mountains behind.
The water in front guides the air, and there is a backing behind to gather the air and store the wind, which can ensure the prosperity and safety of future generations.
The terrain is also good, it should be said that the previous terrain was good.
From ancient times to the present, most areas close to river embankments are highlands. If they are not highlands, water cannot be stored.
Some places are also places where wind and energy are stored, but because of the poor terrain, they are not considered Feng Shui treasures.
The preferred terrain for burials is high ground or flat land, not potholes.
Water will inevitably enter the tomb in a potholed land, and even the best wood in the coffin will rot if it is soaked for a long time. The ancients believed that a corpse should be buried in the ground, and it is not good to soak it in water.
It's a pity that there is no stone tablet outside this so-called Ge Lao's tomb, and there is no stone tablet inside. There is no life story of the tomb owner at all, which gives Lin Yian a headache.
Since the other party dares to come, he must have asked about something. If the conversation cannot be reconciled, then there will be no way to negotiate.
"Heizi, does the owner of Ge Lao's tomb have any descendants in your village?"
After thinking about it, Lin Yian asked Heizi.
"It has long since disappeared. It is said that it was extinct at the end of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise it would not have become a barren tomb with no one worshiping it."
The descendants of such a good Feng Shui treasure land are extinct?
