Chapter 542 The further you go, the more wrong you become
Ta, da, da!
The footsteps of the two people were very clear in this silent cave. Because they were reluctant to waste battery power, the two of them tacitly lowered the brightness of the strong flashlight in their hands.
As the bodies of the two swayed as they walked, the faint light swayed left and right in the dark and deep tomb passage, as if it would go out at any time.
After hearing Li Jinyong's words, Lin Yian let out an unexpected sigh. At this moment, his face was full of surprise, "Brother Li, do you still know this?"
Li Jinyong chuckled twice, with a somewhat humble look on his face, "I just heard about it!"
In the darkness, his eyes flickered in the dim light, as if he was recalling a few words he heard elsewhere, and there seemed to be some other purpose.
Lin Yian did not answer immediately, but asked instead, "Brother Li, in your opinion, do you think the southern faction is stronger or the northern faction is stronger?"
Li Jinyong did not hesitate at all and answered decisively, "In Li's opinion, the southern school of tomb robbers focuses on technology, while the northern school focuses on brute force. Generally speaking, the southern school is stronger. Personally speaking, I am more interested in technology."
Like some.”
When Lin Yian heard this, he immediately laughed. Although the laughter was not loud, in this extremely silent tomb passage, it was like a sharp whistle that cut through the dull air and spread far away, "Wrong, very wrong, the Northern Sect
An expert, with just a pair of naked eyes, can determine the location of the tomb within a hundred meters based on the trend of the landscape, sunrise and sunset, and the growth of vegetation!
"If they are highly skilled, they can even be accurate to within thirty meters. With their keen perception of nature and years of experience accumulation, they can often accurately find the ancient treasures hidden underground among seemingly ordinary mountains and rivers.
Tomb, how can this kind of ability be suppressed by just a few words from the Southern School about technique?"
Li Jinyong was not angry when he was rebuffed, but instead asked with great interest: "So, Danshan Taibao belongs to the northern sect?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lin Yian, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
Lin Yian shook his head, and the expression on his face became serious, "The four major sects of tomb robbers are no longer divided into southern and northern sects, at least we can't distinguish between them.
"Whether it's the southern faction or the northern faction, it's just a division made by outsiders!
"Strictly speaking, in fact, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there was no distinction. For example, during the Daoguang period, Captain Mo Jin produced a very famous gravedigger named Zhang Jiuzhi.
"This man can not only observe the stars and detect the earth's veins, but he can also fly into the sky and escape from the earth to defeat hundreds of enemies. It can be said that there is no tomb that he cannot steal! He is from the north, but he has been active in the south for most of his life.
, his skills are also very complex, do you think he is from the southern school or the northern school?" Lin Yian said while recalling those legendary figures, and his heart was filled with admiration.
"Also, Danshan Taibao produced a very capable shopkeeper during the Xianfeng period. This man used a pair of meteorite Luoyang shovels to rob thousands of ancient tombs one after another. He was from Dongjiang, but he had been in the north.
Activities and learning skills are both from the southern and northern schools, but it is impossible to say whether they are from the southern or northern schools!
Although he has left Danshan Taibao, Lin Yian's face is full of excitement when talking about this. Whether it is his expression or body movements, he seems to be proud of his origins in the Northern Sect, and even more so as a Danshan Taibao of the four major sects.
I am proud to be the great shopkeeper in the country.
"Oh, do the four major sects refer to Captain Mo Jin, General Faqiu Zhonglang, Taibao Danshan and Xiling Lishi?" Li Jinyong asked again.
Lin Yian put the bright flashlight on his shoulder, then folded his hands on his chest, "Captain Jin and General Faqiu, in the eyes of outsiders or people who robbed tombs in small places, they are typical southern sects, and they are technical.
In fact, these two veins come from Xiangmen, one of the nine gates in the world. You can find the ancient tomb by looking at the stars and the ground veins. There is no need to look at the mud marks, the color of the grass, or the sealing soil. There is no need to use ancient iron awls or modern Luoyang shovels.
Go dig some five-color soil.
"These two schools of tomb robbers have mastered the essence of Feng Shui metaphysics. When General Mojin Xiaowei and Faqiu Zhonglang go to a place, they can tell whether there is a tomb or not with just a few glances."
At this point, Lin Yi'an remained silent. Maybe he was thirsty. He took out the water bottle from his waist, unscrewed the lid, and took a careful sip.
This is experience. It is not to quench thirst, but to relieve hunger and thirst. Fighting upside down is a dangerous thing. Anyone who drinks too much will go to the toilet and urinate in other people's tombs. After all, it is disrespectful. In addition, if you drink too much water, your own
Excessive weight will affect your body's agility!
Hanging the kettle back on his waist, he continued: "Actually, this is not a very complicated matter. All ancient tombs, no matter how powerful Feng Shui masters in ancient times chose them, are ultimately inseparable from the places where winds are hidden.
, these eight words are the place to get water.
"As long as future generations are proficient in identifying the stars in the sky and detecting the veins of the earth, they will naturally be able to find this kind of geomantic treasure.
“In a geomantic treasure land, if there is no Yangzhai, there must be an ancient tomb!
"It seems like a mysterious thing, but to put it bluntly, that's all it is!
"Go to the site and take a look at the treasures that have been passed down through county magistrates or word of mouth. If there are no houses built, it is basically the burial place of ancient people!"
"Then why do we need to light candles in the southeast?" Li Jinyong asked again.
Lin Yi'an: "This is mainly because of the theory of the four images, the four directions, the four spirits, and the four saints.
"The Four Sacred Beasts that everyone often mentions are the Eastern Azure Dragon, the Southern Suzaku, the Western White Tiger, and the Northern Black Tortoise.
"The green dragon belongs to wood and governs vitality.
"Suzaku belongs to fire and governs good luck.
“The white tiger belongs to the metal element and is mainly for killing.
"Xuanwu belongs to water and is mainly for protection.
"The southeast corner of the tomb belongs to the Suzaku position. This position is a place of vitality and good luck. The Suzaku is reborn from the fire, which symbolizes the immortality of the tomb owner!
"Look at the tomb robbers who robbed the tomb! Well, the local masters like to light a burnt-out tallow candle in the southeast corner of the tomb.
"Actually, this is not like the so-called "people light candles and ghosts blow out lamps" as in the legend.
"There is no such thing as keeping the candle burning if the master is happy, and blowing out the candle if the master is unhappy.
"Just think about it, which tomb owner would be happy for someone to mess with his resting place?
"Lighting candles is for lighting.
"You must know that the tomb is often dark, and you can't see your fingers. You can't see the surroundings clearly without lighting a candle. In a gloomy and dark environment, even a weak candlelight can bring a sense of comfort and security to people.
"besides……"
At this point, Lin Yian, who was speaking very fast and with great interest, suddenly stopped talking. He looked around with a gloomy face, and then asked Li Jinyong: "Brother Li, how long have we been walking in this robbery cave?"
