Chapter 33 Retreat practice
The national power of the Tang Dynasty was strong, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty created the burial system of "surrounding the mountain as a mausoleum", so most of the tombs in the Tang Dynasty were huge projects.As the joint burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Qianling Mausoleum can be called a national tomb. It was built at the time of the Tang Dynasty. The construction of Qianling Mausoleum can be said to cover all aspects of top-level architecture and geomantic omen.
Zhang De absorbed all kinds of knowledge frantically, until the Qianling Mausoleum was built, Zhang De had already recorded a lot of knowledge.
Since ancient times, the secrecy of tombs has been dominated by hiding, and many outstanding craftsmen were killed because they participated in the construction of the tomb.But I didn't expect that the burial system of "surrounding the mountain as a mausoleum" in the Tang Dynasty not only made the tomb structure strong, but also saved the lives of many tomb craftsmen like Zhang De.
Tang tombs are strong, especially the national tombs like Qianling, which occupy a large area, took a long time to build, and used many builders, so they cannot be hidden. People can't do it even if they want to.
In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords fought in melee, and robbery and excavation of ancient tombs became common.The Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong once led his subordinates to station in Qianling under the guise of protecting Qianling, and used real guns and cannons to cover a division's troops to steal Qianling.The soldiers blew up many places with explosives, but they couldn't even find the entrance to the tomb, which shows the strength of the Qianling Mausoleum.
Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as the death of craftsmen in tombs.After the construction of the Qianling Mausoleum was completed, Zhang De was not only not killed, but was also appointed to serve in the construction office of the Tang Dynasty because of his meritorious service in the construction.After returning home, he compiled the knowledge he had learned over the years into two books, named "Civil Collection".The collection of civil engineering is divided into two volumes, the collection of soil is about geomantic omen, and the collection of wood is about architecture.
But later, for unknown reasons, although Zhang De's grandson also learned Zhang De's skills, he did not inherit his mantle, but started the business of tomb robbery.In the eyes of tomb robbers, the civil engineering collection written by Zhang De turned out to be a guidebook for tomb robbers.
With the technical guidance left by Zhang De, Zhang De's grandson did the tomb robbery smoothly.Later, Zhang De's grandson also recorded the mechanism techniques in the tomb that he encountered during his years of tomb robbery, and compiled it into a work collection.So far, "Civil Engineering Collection" has roughly taken shape.
In the following 1000 years, these three books fell into the hands of many people, most of whom were grave robbers.Almost every generation of book owners will rewrite these books, adding their own unique insights on the three aspects of the book and some of their process of stealing tombs, and recording their experience of obtaining ancient books.
Some of the owners of these books in the past were tomb robbers and became masters through this set of ancient books, and some people became monks halfway after getting the ancient books, and started tomb robbers with the help of ancient books.Because of this, for thousands of hundreds of years, although the characters are not in common use, these books have changed their old appearance from generation to generation, and have been handed down from generation to generation of tomb robbers.The person who wrote it last time was Chen Ziyang's grandfather.
At the end of the book, Chen Ziyang's grandfather recorded in detail the structure of the tomb of Qishang Huling in Shandong and the process of his father's tomb robbery.It records how they discovered the tomb, the environment around the tomb, the angle and length of the robbery hole, the placement and shape of the sarcophagus in the tomb, and the whole process of his father's tomb robbery, the iron bar mechanism at the end and the mercury infiltration. out of the situation.
Although Chen Ziyang's grandfather didn't know how his father found the real sarcophagus, judging from the corpses and burial objects in the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus that Chen Zhongde opened was the real one.But since the real coffin was opened, why there is later mercury, when the mechanism was triggered, and where is the mercury hidden.Chen Ziyang's grandfather analyzed all these questions hidden in his heart in the book.And he made notes on various analysis results that he thought were possible.
Among them, Chen Ziyang's grandfather thinks that the most likely explanation is that the mechanism that triggers the mercury is hidden under the real coffin. When Chen Zhongde opened the sarcophagus with the "back-lifted coffin", he exerted force with his feet and triggered the mechanism. It's just because he was too hard at the time and didn't notice it.And the mercury was hidden in the stone pillar in the middle of the tomb. With the opening of the mechanism, the mercury flowed down and seeped out from the gaps in the floor tiles.
After reading this, Chen Ziyang thought that although his grandfather's guess seemed reasonable, but after thinking about it, there were many loopholes. The density of mercury is very high, and so much mercury must be very heavy. Mercury, it’s okay if the tomb exists for a short time, but the mechanism will become invalid after a long time. As long as the mechanism fails a little and even a slight gap is opened, the pungent smell of mercury will definitely be overwhelmed by your own too. Grandpa Chen Zhongde found out ahead of time.
Therefore, Chen Ziyang thought that either the tomb had not been built for a long time, the mechanism hadn't failed, or his grandfather's analysis was wrong.As for the real cause of Chen Zhongde's death, it seems that he has to go to the tomb to have a look, but he doesn't know what happened to the incorruptible body in the coffin.There are still a lot of treasures in the coffin, so take out one and give it away.
Chen Ziyang was dreaming of getting rich, but he slapped his head, thinking too much, now he can't even afford a train ticket to Shandong.It seems that the time has not yet come, let's put these things aside for the time being.
Two months of study turned Chen Ziyang into an otaku completely. Yang Lei's office manager was doing a good job, but he had nothing for two months.Life is hard.
The time of more than two months was not wasted in vain. After Chen Ziyang thoroughly understood the contents of the book, he learned a lot about the art of tomb robbery.Chen Ziyang was originally a maoshan magistrate, and his ability to find dragons and point acupuncture points is better than what is recorded in the book. However, how to judge the structure of the tomb and the position of the tomb passage based on various information, how to dig the hole and how to decipher and prevent the tomb Chen Ziyang doesn't know the knowledge about the organs in the hospital, but it is much easier to learn than searching for dragons and acupuncture points.
In the past, Chen Ziyang learned the orthodox geo-teaching techniques from the old Taoist master, but most of what he learned in the books were partial, but it was these partial knowledge that made Chen Ziyang feel that he had benefited a lot. Like the front and back of a coin and yin and yang, Chen Ziyang has a strange feeling through the study of these ancient books, as if he should have known these knowledge, but now he has learned it and feels that he has become complete.Chen Ziyang felt very strange about his feeling.
After more than two months of retreat, Chen Ziyang decided to go out to play and let the wind go.Last time Yang Lei said that he wanted to go to the Weizi River in the lower reaches of the Yalu River to play with him.Weizi River is next to Jinyin Gorge, the most beautiful place on the Yalu River. Now it has been developed into a summer resort. It is a good place, and it is the end of July, the hottest time of the year. Clear your head and think about how you should go about your life in the future.After Chen Ziyang made up his mind, he picked up the phone.
