Chapter 50
Zhongdu Township is very close to Pingyao County. Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Cheng and Wu Hai found a place to live in Pingyao County and had some food. They set off for Zhongdu Township early the next morning.
Although Zhongdu Township is a township, it is still developing very well because it is close to Pingyao County. Qin Cheng took the topographic map of Pingyao and carefully recalled the mountain map that Su Jingmo had drawn for him, and delineated two kilometers north of Zhongdu Township. That mountain range.
Although it is not as continuous as Su Jingmo's description, this should be the reason why the short peaks among them were leveled to build villages and towns.
Those who study archeology will definitely learn the theory of Feng Shui and read the ancient Book of Changes. In the terminology of Feng Shui, there is a common saying: "Go into the mountains to find the water mouth, climb the cave to see the bright hall." That is to say, when a Feng Shui master goes into the mountains to look for the cemetery of the Yin Mansion, he must first look at where the water comes from and where it goes; at the same time, he must pay more attention to the condition of the water in the clear hall in front of the cave. Although atheism dominates society in China, Chinese people still attach great importance to Feng Shui, let alone the ancients who believed in destiny.
As the saying goes, "Mountains manage people, water manages wealth." That is to say, when choosing a cemetery, the quality of the water around the cemetery determines the wealth of future generations, while the quality of the "sand" around the cemetery determines whether the future generations will prosper. . Therefore, if the place where the water comes from is relatively open and wide, it indicates that future generations will have good financial luck. If the place where the water goes is blocked by layers of mountains, it indicates that the future generations will be able to keep their wealth, which means that the wealth will not flow out. Shuikou is like the front door of people's homes. If there are two towering mountains in the direction where the water goes, and the water flows between the two mountains, it is called a water sandwiched between two mountains. Water is wealth. Being sandwiched by two mountains is a barrier. The meaning of "Ban Jia Gong" is that one is sentimental and does not want to let money go away. Such a cemetery is a place of great wealth, and future generations will be rich and powerful.
"The dragon is true, and the acupoints are true. To hide the wind and accept the water, the mountains and rivers have feelings, and the mountains and rivers are for my use. The mountains, dragons, and water dragons must meet, so that the bright hall can be righteous, and the bright hall's acupoints can be righteous."
What Qin Cheng and Wu Hai were looking for was the intersection of mountain, dragon and water. Looking from the mountain dragon to where the water flows, there should be mountains blocking the place where the water flows.
And it is even more difficult to determine which of these thousands of mountains is most likely to be a tomb.
While observing and climbing up another mountain, Qin Cheng panted slightly and said, "I only have a limited understanding of Feng Shui. I really don't understand the issue of astrological acupoints included here."
Wu Hai, who was walking behind Qin Cheng, was exhausted after walking for three or four hours. He simply shouted: "Let's rest for a while. I'm really exhausted."
The mountain road was rarely walked by people and was overgrown with weeds. As he spoke, Wu Hai found a relatively flat ground and sat down, taking off the hat he was wearing and fanning himself.
Looking overhead along the gaps in the trees, it was really noon, the sun was shining overhead, and occasionally a small breeze swept by, and the leaves that were beginning to turn yellow swayed gently and made a rhythmic sound.
Wu Hai squinted his eyes and frowned, "It's still so hot in October."
Tan Cheng was actually sweating profusely, so he simply sat under the shadow of a tree and took out a few gulps of water from his backpack.
"Huh..." The cold water entered his stomach, making Qin Cheng feel much more comfortable. "Have a rest for a while. Let's take a general look when we reach the top of the mountain, and then go down the mountain. To be honest, we didn't have any plans. , both of them are unfamiliar with this place, so they should ask a local to show them the way."
Wu Hai nodded and smiled when he heard this, "That's true. If you don't know the place, you just wander into the mountains. What if something happens and you get lost?"
"It's better to wait for a local who is familiar with the road. Otherwise, how can we find such a large mountain?" The so-called climbing up and looking into the distance means that although we haven't reached the top of the mountain yet, we are halfway up the mountain and our field of vision is much wider. Wu Hai looked into the distance. Qun Shan sighed, "Some time ago, I saw a news report about the arrest of a tomb robbing group in Jilin. It was said that the leader of the tomb robbing group didn't need a compass and could only rely on water flow, mountains, and stars to make decisions. He is an expert in the location of ancient tombs. Now that I think about it, I am really not even one percent as good as him. Without equipment, I really can’t find the ancient tomb.”
"Indeed, every time we do archaeological work, we wait for others to find something before we dig it. When it comes to looking for ancient tombs in person, this is my first time." Qin Cheng shook his head and smiled, "I have to look for ancient tombs myself. After the tomb, I realized that I should have studied treasure appraisal instead of archeology."
If Su Jingmo hadn't told him the location, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this place. With so many emotions in his heart, Qin Cheng took out a pen and paper and simply drew the landscape in front of him.
Wu Hai glanced at it and then stood up and looked around the surrounding peaks. After a while, he suddenly said: "If you follow Feng Shui theory, don't tell me, I think that mountain over there is a good piece of land."
After hearing what Wu Hai said, Qin Cheng put away the pen and paper and walked to Wu Hai and asked: "Which one?"
"Over there," Wu Hai pointed to the right, "Look over here, in the two o'clock direction. The direction of the dragon water matches, and the direction opposite the mountain is open and has no big obstruction. The field of vision is wide, but the water over there The flow direction is also blocked by mountains."
Qin Cheng observed carefully for a while and nodded, "Did you bring a compass?"
"I'm not a Feng Shui master, how could I remember to bring a compass?"
Qin Cheng remembered that Su Jingmo told him that Su Jingmo's father's mausoleum was facing a vast mountain peak, and that mountain peak was shaped like a crouching tiger. According to the saying at the time, although it was a treasured land in Feng Shui, but... The mountain like a crouching tiger was located on the back. It happened that Daxu was fighting the powerful barbarians in the north at that time. This indicated that Daxu had a tiger on his back, which was really ominous. But when the officials discovered this
When asked this question, Su Jingmo's father died. The emperor's mausoleum had been built long ago but he didn't know whether he should bury it. Su Jingmo, who ascended the throne at that time, only said one sentence: "My mausoleum was chosen to the north of the late emperor. Mountain."
The Crouching Tiger Mountain in the north was not a barbarian but the son of the late emperor. The minister also understood this meaning and buried the late emperor.
However, why Su Jingmo was later buried in Ninghua Village in Xi'an is unknown.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng looked at Wu Hai and said, "I think we should go down the mountain first to find a local and ask him to lead the way."
"That's fine, let's find someone to lead the way first," Wu Hai said, pointing to a small village near the water at the foot of the mountain, "How about we go there and ask, they must know if this village is closest to the mountain."
Tan Cheng nodded, "Okay."
However, the mountain looked close, and it was only two or three kilometers away. In addition, the mountain road was not easy to walk, so it took the two of them almost more than an hour to actually reach the village.
The village is not big, the transportation is not good, and there is no tourism development. This village should be the poorest village in Zhongdu Township, because it only has a village of twenty or thirty households, and almost half of the households are made of wooden tiles. There are still old wooden houses from decades ago, and a few families have built small bungalows.
It is estimated that there are not many outsiders coming and going in the village. Qin Cheng and Wu Hai were very conspicuous among a group of farmers carrying large travel bags, wearing hiking boots and mountaineering clothing, and holding instruments and cameras. Many farmers came to ask them where they were. Whatever he does, he looks very enthusiastic.
"Ah, we are students. We were looking around during the holidays, so we came here."
"Come to play? Then why are you bringing something like this with you?"
Originally, the purpose of his and Wu Hai's visit was not simple. If others knew that they were here for archeology, it would be a lot of trouble. Qin Cheng simply replied: "Oh, we are studying geography, and we just want to take advantage of this opportunity to take a look." See if there are any coal fields in this area.
"Let's see if there is a coal field in our village?" The thin man looked to be in his mid-thirties, short and wearing a yellow vest. He picked up a load of grass and said with a squinted smile: "If we have Wujin here, That would be great! If we become the second Datong in Shanxi, we will be rich!"
Wu Hai glanced at Qin Cheng who had told lies, turned back and smiled at the man: "Yes, Shanxi's coal resources are indeed rich."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the man's family over there shouted to the man to go back and eat.
The man waved to his wife who was not far away, turned around and said very enthusiastically: "I see you guys are coming from out of town. It's already noon. If you don't mind, you can come to my house for a quick meal. It's better to have a meal here." It’s relatively remote, it’s not like there are restaurants in the town.”
Tan Cheng and Wu Hai looked at each other, nodded and smiled: "Then I'll bother you, brother."
"Hey, what's the trouble! Our village has nothing but hospitality! My surname is Tang and my name is Tang Jie, but I don't know what the names of these two little brothers are?"
"My name is Qin Cheng, and his name is Wu Hai."
The eldest brother named Tang's house is also a wooden house that has been built for decades. There are still some electrical appliances in the house, but they all look like old things that were acquired many years ago.
Farmers are hospitable, so they killed a chicken to entertain guests. The three of them drank some wine and chatted while eating.
"Our village has few people. Many young people have gone to work in Zhejiang, and the only ones left are those in our thirties and above."
"Brother Tang, are all the people in this village surnamed Tang?"
"Where are they?" The man took a sip of liquor and said with a smile: "On the other side of the river are more than a dozen families with the surname Yue, and here we are all scattered households with scattered surnames. There are three families with the surname Tang and three families with the surname Liu. , as well as the Qi family, the Zhang family, the Luo family, and the Zhou family, the Yue family has the largest number. Every time they vote for the village head, the Yue family gets it! Hey, this suppresses the other surnames among us!"
"Then Mr. Tang, did you move here from other places?" There are so many Yue family members in this village, it must have been just the Yue family here before.
"No, no, no." At this point, Tang Jie said bitterly: "We, the Tang family, are the original residents of this village for many years! It's just that the Tang family is not united and has to move their share. Not many are willing to live here. Guarding in the ravines... Sigh... If we were more united, how could we be suppressed by the outside Yue family like this now."
"Many years?" Hearing what Tang Jie said, Tan Cheng's heart moved, "How many years have you been here?"
Tang Jie drank so much liquor that his face was all red, "I don't know much about this, I guess the older generation knows..."
