Chapter 115

Yang Xiaobao and Mei Zi came to the orchard and saw Professor Cao on the mound. That day, Yang Xiaobao and Mei Zi walked excitedly around the place where they filled the mouse hole.

Meizi's light body was like a swallow. She walked quickly to meet her“ Teacher, what do you find? "

Professor Cao was holding a piece of soil in his hand and said excitedly, "look at this!"

Meizi's eyes widened in surprise: "this... Looks familiar!"

"Yes! This kind of sealing soil is also around the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in Mancheng city! Look at this again

Professor Cao's other hand is holding a handful of dry clay particles. Mei Zi frowns when she looks at it. Compared with the standard of the teacher, she is still a little bit worse. She doesn't understand why the teacher is very interested in this kind of soil.

At this time, Yang Xiaobao also came to see Professor Cao's nervous and excited appearance, which made him laugh secretly.

"What's so rare, old man. This is red clay. We have a lot of it here. When someone builds a house and digs the foundation, they always lay the foundation on this kind of soil. After the lime is sprinkled and tamped, it will not be damaged by the flood! "

Professor Cao said happily: "yes! It turns out that there is only half or six points to be sure whether there is a royal tomb underground. After seeing the earth and the Dragon sand, it can be basically determined. "

Yang Xiaobao was stunned: "this thing is called Longsha?"

Professor Cao nodded, then raised his arm and began to point Jiangshan with interest.

"Look at this place, with its back against the Taihang Mountains and surrounded by the Zhanghe River, which is just in line with the theory of geomantic omen that storing wind, accumulating Qi and getting water is the most important thing. In addition, this kind of Dragon sand also appears here. It would be unreasonable to say that there was no royal tomb, unless the Fengshui masters at that time were blind. "

Of course, there is something in Yang Xiaobao's mind. The most valuable treasures in the grave are in my hands

Mei Zi and Professor Cao were both in a good mood. They began to murmur and discuss for a while. Then Professor Cao took out a sharp iron tube like object from the canvas bag and hollow stainless steel tubes from the bag. Three or two of them are connected end to end and become a long spear like pole.

Professor Cao walked out of the range of the mound, tied the pole on his hand to the ground, and then held the steel pipe tightly with both hands to rotate and let it drill down. When the steel pipe goes down to a certain depth, it is pulled out again, the soil carried out from the tip is buckled down a little, and it is placed in the palm of the hand for careful observation. From time to time, it is also sniffed.

When Yang Xiaobao saw the thing in the professor's hand, he thought it was very strange. He couldn't help asking, "what is it in your hand, old man?"

Professor Cao said with a smile: "it's called Luoyang shovel. It's invented by tomb robbers to determine the location of tombs. But it's also very useful for archaeology. "

Yang Xiaobao's eyes widened: "there's no need to excavate. Just this can determine where the tomb is? That's amazing

Professor Cao sold a pass: "sooner or later, you will understand, that young man, I have to ask you a favor. Help me get some ash from the construction site and add water. Mark the place where I made the hole with white ash

Yang Xiaobao is very cooperative, according to the professor said to get white water, with the old man behind to watch the excitement.

In the process, Yang Xiaobao also saw some signs. Every time Professor Cao inserts the Luoyang shovel, once it can't be inserted, he brings out the hard sealing soil and asks him to mark it with white gray water.

"Sir, is the location of the lime water still above the sealing layer?"

Professor Cao was quite surprised: "the young man has a bit of eye power. Indeed, as you said, I am determining the scope of this tomb."

When Yang Xiaobao saw that the old man was panting for breath and the frequency of getting off the pole was getting slower and slower, he began to worry about the progress of his project again

"Old man, I think it's a strenuous work, or I'll do it, and you'll watch it?"

Professor Cao was really a little out of breath. He immediately nodded and said with a smile, "it's hard for you, young man."

Yang Xiaobao took Luoyang shovel from his hand and took it as a rare toy. But he didn't know it was an individual work until he made it by himself. At first, it was OK. After digging dozens of holes, he was tired with sweat.

"Ha ha! It's a young man. But it's very tiring. It's not easy for you to dig so many holes at one time! Take a rest and drink water before you dry it

"Old man, when can we determine the general location of this tomb?" Yang Xiaobao wiped sweat on his forehead and asked with a tired grin.

"Depending on the size of the tomb, it won't take long. Generally, ten and a half days is enough."

Yang Xiaobao said: ten days and a half is not too long? It seems that we have to think of something else

At night, while his parents and Professor Cao are sleeping, Yang Xiaobao quietly sneaks back to his courtyard.

Under the hibiscus tree, there is a big water tank in the corner between the wall and the West Wing room. It was originally used to catch the rain from the roof of the West Wing room, wash clothes and water the tree.

Yang Xiaobao moved the big stone slab on the top of the tank. With the faint light of his mobile phone, he could see that there was a big hole at the bottom of the tank, connecting with a dark underground cave. Yang Xiaobao knocked a few times on the wall of the water tank, and soon Huang Wulang's head came out of the hole.

I haven't seen you for a few days. This guy has been fattening up for a while, and even his moustache is greasy.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

This beast is aware. These days, those who eat Yang Xiaobao and drink Yang Xiaobao quickly nod their heads and bow down after meeting him.

"Do you know the exact location of the tomb below?"

Yang Xiaobao immediately told Huang Wulang about locating the tomb with Professor Cao during the day.

"That old man is a stupid B, that hard shell soil mixed with pig blood, even if buried in the ground a few meters deep, I can smell it." Huang Wulang said to Yang Xiaobao with pride.

Yang Xiaobao thinks about it. No matter how knowledgeable Professor Cao is and how skillful he is, he can't match this beast's natural talent

"Come with me and mark the position of the grave."

So Yang Xiaobao and Huang Wulang came to the construction site. Huang Wulang ran in front of him. Yang Xiaobao scooped lime water in the back with a broken ladle and drew a line in the back. Within two or three hours, he marked the location of the tomb.

Looking at the lines drawn, Yang Xiaobao began to worry again. What a hell of a grave!

Yang Xiaobao murmured in his heart that the princes and Marquises in ancient times were too extravagant. When they died, they spent too much money on such a big project. The key is that it's in my way!

"This is the hole dug by the tomb robbers. I was the unlucky one who found the three treasures in him."

Yang Xiaobao was overjoyed. With the ready-made cave robbers, tomb robbers and archaeologists could enter, which saved them the time of searching.

"Well, that's all for today. Huang Wulang, you have made great contributions today. I'll give you some young chickens. " Yang Xiaobao did not forget to give Huang Wulang the reward he deserved, so that he would work hard when he used it later.

The next morning, Yang Xiaobao came to the construction site and found that Professor Cao and Mei Zi had already started working. Professor Cao, holding a Luoyang shovel, is drawing and inserting it near the white line he drew. He looks surprised

After seeing Yang Xiaobao, he said to him: "come here, young man."

Yang Xiaobao quickly ran a few steps to get close to the front: "what do you always say to me?"

Professor Cao's eyes were almost staring out. He pointed to the white line on the ground and asked, "do you know who drew it? This is an expert. It's the first time I've seen someone find out the location of the tomb overnight that I've been working with for 40 years. "

It turns out that Professor Cao was just verifying the white line drawn. It seems that Huang Wulang is really talented.

Yang Xiaobao said modestly: "well, of course I painted it!"

Professor Cao holds Yang Xiaobao's shoulder and shakes it. Looking at his excited expression, it's really worrying that the old man will suffer from high blood pressure again because of over excitement.

Even Mei Zi's beautiful eyes blinked, staring at Yang Xiaobao tightly. Her surprise was beyond expression.

"Well... How on earth did you do it?" Professor Cao can't wait to ask.

"Well, in fact, it's like this. There are a few geomantic omens in my family. They have a lot of research on the art of Canyu. In my generation, they passed it on to me..."

Can have the opportunity to show off in front of the beautiful woman, Yang Xiaobao has a little complacency in the heart, took out the speech made up last night.

"There were a few thunders in the middle of the night yesterday. After I woke up, I remembered the skill handed down by my ancestors. So I came here and drew these lines based on the slight echo of the ground

"Listen to thunder? It's really such a secret skill. It's really an expert among the people. I didn't expect that there were such gods in your family, young man. I'm so disrespectful Professor Cao was filled with emotion, and his attitude towards Yang Xiaobao became different.

Yang Xiaobao's heart is secretly funny. He really had a geomantic omen gentleman in his Yang family, which is Yang Xiaobao's second grandfather.

The second grandfather was only half a dozen years old. He didn't have a few bottles of ink in his stomach. He was flexible with his head and his mouth. After reading two books of geomantic omen, he dared to show people his house face to face. Nine times out of ten he was not allowed to do so. At that time, he claimed to be a Banxian in the village. In fact, few people bought him

As for the ability to listen to Lei's positioning, it's not Yang Xiaobao's casual nonsense, it has a source. Two years ago, he saw a movie called "the tomb of the princess at night"

Professor Cao was very excited: "it's a wonderful skill. I've found a treasure this time. Young man, it's too humble to do business with your ability. Do you have any interest in developing archaeology? "
