It is a very old courtyard, with bare ground on both sides, and only a stone-paved path in the middle leads to the main house, and there are corn cobs and the like hanging under the eaves of the wings on both sides.

Zhang Mazi hurriedly walked to the front first, and said to Dong Ce: "My lord, please wait a while, my mother is old and can't see the big scene, I'll ...... first."

Dong Ce waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

He looked at the courtyard with his hands, and the ground in front of the square was divided into two furrows, and although it was empty at this time, it was conceivable that in spring and summer, some wild vegetables would be planted here.

There are a lot of things in the whole yard, but they are all cleaned up quite neatly, which is obviously the credit of Zhang Xiang'er.

Shi Jin didn't tell him about Zhang Mazi and Zhang Xiang'er, Dong Ce glanced at her, and felt a little strange in his heart. This woman is already married, but it seems that she is mostly living in her mother's house, which is rare.

The old Taoist priest walked up to him, and the two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

After a while, Zhang Mazi came out of the hall and beckoned, "My lord, Master, please come in." ”

The hall is not small, and it is paved with terrazzo bricks, but it is not the furnishings of ordinary people who have seats on both sides, but only a round table and three chairs. Zhang Mazi said embarrassedly: "The family is simple, and I have always been a servant, just for convenience, some things have been withdrawn......"

In fact, when his family was defeated, he took it out and sold it.

Dong Ce didn't care, and the old Taoist priest didn't care, he sat on the chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and said loudly: "Hurry up, I'll make tea for your master, I'm dying of thirst!" ”

Zhang Mazi answered, went to make tea, and served it to Dong Ce and the old Taoist.

The two drank tea, and Dong Ce glanced at him.

The old Taoist priest understood and smiled bitterly: "Say it, please don't laugh at it." The location of the old man's vein is the depths of Taihang Mountain, the big bamboo peak is out of the clouds, and the old man also has a road name, called Qingyunzi. The old man and the ancestors of the past generations before the old man, every time they walked the rivers and lakes, they were shown as Taoist priests. But in fact, the old man's vein, no incense, no tea, no homework, no worship of immortals, no taboo of meat, no lack of love between men and women. ”

Dong Ce smiled: "It turned out to be a fake Taoist? ”

"Let's lie it, but I can't say it." Qingyunzi said: "The Taoist priests will, we will all know, astronomical stars, watching the wind and water, fortune telling and divination, these, more proficient than them." The other miscellaneous studies are even more coarse. ”

"It's like teaching it to Xiao Er, but it's just the most superficial ability, Xiao Er, your master and my skills, you have learned less than one out of a hundred!" The old man glared at Zhang Mazi, and sighed a little: "In fact, what we are best at in this vein is to diagnose the pulse of the mountains and rivers in the world, find the treasure points of feng shui, and the treasure hall of the dragon tower......"

When Dong Ce heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately remembered something, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing the hint of clarity in Dong Ce's eyes, Qingyunzi couldn't help but be a little surprised, this adult is really knowledgeable, he even knows this?

"Yes, the old man's vein is one of the four gates of tomb robbery, and the vein of Xieling Lux is the vein!" Qingyunzi took a deep breath and said slowly.

Unloading Lux!

Dong Ce couldn't help but feel a fierce jump in his heart when he heard these four words, when Qing Yunzi said those words, he had already guessed a few points, but when these four words were spoken, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

This is a group of strange people who are very famous in later generations and have been written about!

In fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a tomb robber.

Tomb robbing has existed since ancient times. Deliberately excavated tombs can be seen in Stone Age tombs, which means that tomb robbing has already occurred at the dawn of human civilization. After the Xia, Shang and Wednesday dynasties, tomb robbery has always existed, but it has not developed much.

The reason why there was no development was not because of the high quality of the people at that time, but because there were not many tombs worth digging up. In those three dynasties, there was a strict etiquette system, that is, even the specifications of the tombs were very clearly regulated. What was your status during your lifetime, how many funeral goods you have after your death, and it is absolutely not okay to have more, it is a violation of etiquette and a crime. For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, according to the Zhou ceremony, the nobles accompanied the funeral, and the types and quantities of tripods and guis used were strictly regulated, Zhou Tianzi used "nine tripods and eight tripods", the princes used "seven tripods and six tripods", and the doctors used "five tripods and four tripods".

At that time, thick burials were not very popular, so the phenomenon was that there were oily and watery, fat enough tombs, that is, so many songs, and all of them were heavily guarded and had huge goals. What is in the tomb of ordinary people? Besides, it was the oldest dynasty at that time, and to put it bluntly, people didn't recognize antiques very much. It's only a few hundred years old, and the one you dug up from the summer tomb is no different from the Zhou Dynasty's own use, it's worthless!

Tomb robbing really developed and grew in the late Spring and Autumn Period, when the etiquette was broken, the nobles and scholars no longer followed the previous rules, and at the same time, the trend of thick burials rose, so tomb robbery became more and more popular.

There are historical records that clearly record the earliest stolen tomb, is the tomb of the first king of the Shang Dynasty, Shang Tang, the king of Shang Tang overturned Xia Ji, what a feat, but in the end it fell into such a fate, and I can't help but sigh.

What causes tomb robbing to endure for so long? In fact, to put it bluntly, there are only four words - profitable!

After all, tomb robbery is a very unrecognized and humiliating thing by society, and all dynasties have severely punished those tomb robbers. Moreover, the realm where the tomb is robbed, after all, is in the tomb, where it is the territory of the dead, and China is where the theory of gods and ghosts is prevalent, so naturally there are many terrifying and terrifying legends, which is a spiritual danger. Putting that aside, among the tomb robbers, there are those who kill each other because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, those who are buried in the ground and suffocated to death because of the collapse of the grave, those who die because they have poor breathing or poisoning after entering, and those who are killed by the organs in the tomb, and so on.

Why are there still people in such an undignified, high-risk, poor working environment, and mentally stressful profession who are still happy to do it, isn't it because of the high rewards?

The rampant tomb robbery is inseparable from the custom of thick burials in the national dynasty, which first started in Xia Shang, but there were too few people who were qualified for thick burials at that time. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the killing of people and animals and the burial of bronzes showed a decreasing trend, and by the time of the Warring States Period, wooden figurines and terracotta figurines were used to replace the burial of slaves and livestock, and pottery was used to replace the bronze, which was a relatively thin burial period. However, from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, thick burials began to prevail again, and Qi was especially good at thick burials, and liked to kill people and animals.

Qi is a good burial, the cloth is all in the clothes, and the wood is all in the coffin. Like Qi Huan Gong, his tomb is on Niu Mountain in the south of Linzi City, also known as Dingzu Mountain, a cow head gang, a second grave. At the end of Jin Yongjia, people sent it, the first version, the second time to get the mercury pool, there is no gas to enter, after a few days, it is to lead the dog into the middle, get dozens of foils of the golden silkworm, beads, jade boxes, increase color, and military weapons are innumerable. and he was buried with men, and his bones were in disarray.

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty system, the Son of Heaven ascended the throne for one year, and built the emperor's tomb with one-third of the world's tribute. Even Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, who was known as "simple" in history and explicitly ordered that he was not allowed to be buried in his edict, "won many treasures" when his tomb was stolen in the Jin Dynasty. And not only the emperor and nobles are popular for thick burials, but also for thick burials all over the world, and the law has no restrictions on this. Ordinary officials, merchants, and small and medium-sized landlords also dug large burial chambers, greedy for more burial goods, and buried a large amount of copper coins and gold.

The custom of thick burial is rooted in the traditional etiquette of the dynasty, the ancients believed that the soul is immortal, and talked about respecting the monarch, talking about filial piety, and very much to save face, thick burial can meet this kind of mentality. As the saying goes, "If you want to bury extravagantly, your heart is not worried about the dead, and the living are still respectful."

It's not just for the sake of the deceased, it's actually more for a face.

Therefore, digging a grave, even if it is not the kind of large tomb of a prince and general, but only the grave of a low-ranking official, or even a rural landlord, is often very profitable, and the enemy can afford to work hard for decades. Talent and wealth are moving, gold and silver are dazzling, and for this benefit, it is naturally worth the risk.

There are two kinds of people who rob tombs, one is official thieves, like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty, Wen Tao in the fifth generation, Sun Dianying in the Republic of China, etc., are very famous, they often use a large number of soldiers, and they do it with open fire and sticks, and they are not taboo against others at all. This kind of people often dig up such famous tombs, after all, they have many people, high status, and high vision, and idle tombs are not eye-catching. Among them, the most famous is the tomb of Cixi in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty dug by Sun Dianying, and countless treasures have been issued.

There is also a kind of people's thieves, who are distributed all over the country, both north and south, and have different names. The people are the most numerous, and there are any dynasties, but they dare not be open, they are all secretly carried out in private, digging up tombs and coffins, taking out the treasures and treasures of the burial, and making a fortune. Most of these people are concentrated in places with more ancient tombs, such as Luoyang in Henan, Guanzhong in Shaanxi, and Changsha in Hunan.

These thieves are basically not large-scale, generally two people are partners, and many people form gangs are a minority, and even fewer are done by one person, and the reason is very simple, one person can't take care of it. The allocation of two people is more reasonable, and the division of labor can be cooperated. At the beginning, one person digs a hole underneath and the other clears the earth while watching the wind from above. Later, one digs into the burial chamber, and the other receives the pit soil and goods on it, and most of the two men are blood relatives or close friends, but there is little father-son relationship. Maybe it's a tomb robbery after all, even if Lao Tzu does this disgraceful deed, he has to maintain the image of being a father, and he is embarrassed to pull his son to do it, and he pretended not to know when he found out later. The reason why we are looking for blood relatives is to prevent the people who take the work at the entrance of the cave from killing them for money. When the person under the cave has finished his work and passed all the belongings up, he will slap his face or pull the rope and signal the person at the entrance of the cave to pull him up. If the people at the entrance of the cave see the intention of wealth, when the people under the cave come up quickly, they suddenly loosen the rope, and the people under the cave fall from a distance of more than four or five meters, and they are broken and injured and cannot move, and the people at the entrance of the cave hurriedly pour the soil from the pit that they have brought up to the hole, and the people below will definitely die.
