Mr. Zhangyan also needs to examine folklore from various places and historical records of past dynasties, such as which places and dynasties produced important figures, which townships and villages were buried near, and whether the tombs have been robbed or excavated in history? Investigation results and field surveys

Combined to determine the location of valuable tombs.

After confirming that there are tombs underground and that they are valuable for excavation, it is necessary to determine the distribution structure of the tombs and determine from what direction to start excavation? How long will it take and how to enter the tomb? The method must be accurate, rapid, and concealed. Because in ancient times, wealthy families

When choosing a Yin House, you must ask a Feng Shui master to determine the acupuncture points and orientations, so Mr. Zhangyan must also be proficient in Feng Shui.

In short, you must master various aspects of knowledge such as archeology, geology, history, folk customs, intelligence analysis, traditional Feng Shui, etc., in order to become an excellent palm-eye master. What can you do if you have this knowledge but want to rob tombs? It can only be said that it is due to interests and expansion.

Their greed makes many people trample on everything.

But You Fang himself did not come here to rob tombs. When his fifth uncle taught Feng Shui, he strictly prohibited him from participating in such things and warned him that if he broke the rules, there would be endless troubles. Today was a trap set by You Fang. He spent three months

He set up a trap at a certain time to let this gang find him on his own initiative, and made these people believe that there was a tomb of an important figure from the Ming Dynasty here, and that there were a large number of precious ancient porcelain buried with him.

You Fang is only twenty-one years old this year. This is the first time that he has truly put "theory into practice" and cracked the feng shui of the ancients. It is also the first time that he has used the tricks he has known since childhood to set traps and lure people into despair.

He was so nervous that he felt like a hand was reaching into his chest to grasp his heart. The blood flow throughout his body almost stopped, and he couldn't even take a big breath.

But he must remain calm, and he must not reveal any flaws at this time. The group of people who came with him are not some believers. The four of them, Kuanghu, Big Baldhead, Decadent, and Mao Er, are all desperadoes with blood debts.

More than one person who was a threat to them disappeared inexplicably, with no one alive or dead but no corpse.

This game has reached the final step. Success or failure will be known before dawn, but it's too late to turn back now. If we just give up on the original plan, we don't have to risk our lives tonight, and we can still make a fortune. Even if we choose a better one in the future.

It's okay to strike again if the opportunity arises, since you have already gained the trust of those people.

After planning for three months, when the time came, You Fang hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. "Mr. Wu, if you have a spirit in heaven, can you tell me what to do?" As soon as this idea came up, the magnetic needle in the compass suddenly appeared.

Strangely, it stopped beating up and down, but it was still trembling left and right. You Fang adjusted his breathing gently, his expression dull.

At this moment, a figure came out from the corn stalks. The figure had been nearby and could hardly be detected in the shadows when he was not moving. He walked to You Fang's side, glanced at the compass intentionally or unintentionally, and handed over

He came over with a cigarette and said: "Mr. You, let's have a cigarette to relieve our fatigue. This kind of life is boring after a long time."

You Fang said nothing, picked up the compass and took the cigarette. Before the other party came over to light the cigarette for him, he had already taken out a windproof lighter and lit it for himself. The man smiled silently and lit a cigarette.

The green flame of the windproof lighter is very light. When lighting the cigarette, the man holds his hands together. The man's smoking posture is very special. Most people smoke with their index finger and middle finger. The outside of the first joint of these two fingers of old smokers is often smoked yellow. But

The man smoked with his index finger and thumb held upside down, with the lit cigarette butt hidden in the palm of his hand. The other three fingers were slightly folded, with the palm facing his chest.

Holding the cigarette like this, the light of the cigarette butt cannot be seen in the distance. Even though there is no one nearby, the tomb robbers still instinctively remain cautious. This has become a professional habit, and they can't help but adopt this posture when smoking. You Fang and this group of tomb robbers

The thieves had been together for a month, and they discovered that they were both heavy smokers, and their palms and thumbs were smoked yellow, which was a characteristic that was different from ordinary people.

You Fang didn't smoke before, but he quickly learned after joining this gang that lighting a cigarette was also a way to relieve his mood when he was nervous. His smoking posture was exactly the same as that of the person next to him.

The man was about thirty years old, wearing a dark bodysuit with many pockets of various shapes on his body. He had a strong figure, and the wind blew the clothes against his body, and you could see that he was strong but not exaggerated.

The outline of his muscles seemed to have strong and explosive power. He was an expert and had practiced martial arts for several years, so he was not easy to deal with.

You Fang didn’t know the other person’s real name, but he only knew that his surname was Li. He was nicknamed Mad Fox in Beijing’s underground antiques community, and was also known as Master Fox. If you saw him during the day, you would find that this person’s appearance was very upright, with his face and hands

They are well maintained, just like a small boss living a comfortable life.

Mad Fox is the boss of this gang. This role requires not only being able to rob tombs, but also having various connections on the road. He is responsible for coordinating organizational actions, selling stolen goods afterwards, laundering cultural relics, distributing stolen money, etc.

Generally speaking, bosses with status in the industry rarely participate in small-scale tomb robbing operations, and are often covered by their identities as antique dealers or collectors. The specific work is done by a trusted "team leader" who recruits buddies, and he only

Responsible for receiving the goods, paying according to the quality of the goods, and then assigning money to the clerks by the shift leader. If something goes wrong, you can also excuse yourself by saying that the goods were collected from the market, and you don't know the origin.

The bosses of some small gangs often serve as team leaders themselves, leading their crews to fight on the front line of excavations.

Most of the ordinary guys in the gang have little education and are only responsible for digging holes and touching things. They need to be tight-lipped, courageous, good at craftsmanship, and reliable. Although the guys earn a lot from tomb robbing, it is far from being comparable to the huge price of cultural relics flowing into the market.

For example. For example, a piece of Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain in good condition may be worth a million if it is sold at auction. However, when it is taken out of the pit, the clerk will only be paid about a thousand, usually only based on the complete utensil.

Pay according to the shape and size of the utensils.

The profits and tricks of this industry chain are mainly in the intermediate transfer process. The real money-makers are not the thieves digging holes in the soil.

Kuanghu rarely comes to the "site" in person, but today's situation is a bit special. The three people who came with him are all his team leaders who usually work alone. At this moment, the key people have gathered together to do it themselves, which shows that Kuanghu is very interested in this business.

of attention.

The smoke was inhaled into the lungs, and then slowly came out from the nostrils. You Fang felt that his mood was relieved a lot. After extinguishing it, the two of them did not throw the cigarette butts away, but put the cigarette butts into their pockets. Crazy Fox looked ahead as if

He said to himself: "Mr. You concluded that this is a large tomb from the Ming Dynasty. It seems a bit deep. The top of the tomb I made last night is less than seven meters."

You Fang replied calmly: "Master Fox is indeed a great expert. The Ming tombs in this area are generally no more than six meters deep, but the location where we are standing has experienced more than one flash flood in the Qing Dynasty. It is recorded in the local annals that the mountain floods

The sediment layer that came down was very thick.”

The mad fox nodded: "You made the diagnosis very accurately, and the result of the shovel exploration was the same." Then he pointed to the river in the distance: "I know a little about Feng Shui, but the river is too straight and too fast.

, I committed a crime, the crypt here is not a feng shui treasure, what do you think of it, Mr. You?"

Know some Feng Shui? Kuang Hu is too modest! As the boss of such a tomb robbing gang, it is impossible not to master all kinds of visual skills, including Feng Shui knowledge. Kuang Hu is definitely an expert, and he is good enough to be a Feng Shui master.

Already.

The distribution of geological accumulation layers in this area has been clearly explored, and everything that needs to be said has been explained clearly, but Kuang Hu still wants to mention it again. You Fang also understands the other party's intention, and Kuang Hu is still exploring his details. For the first time

Mr. Zhangyan is worried about working together to do big business. This is no wonder, even You Fang feels that he is too young and does not look like an old man on the road.

When you first started to deal with this group of people, You Fang was worried. Although he was proficient in various Feng Shui theories, it was his first time to actually put them into practice. But when the crazy fox came to his door, he simply calmed down and boldly deceived him.

.He is proficient in not only Feng Shui theory, but also all kinds of martial arts. In the eyes of Jianghu people since ancient times, sometimes it is easier to deceive an expert than a layman. Many people do not understand this truth.

For those who are not knowledgeable, no matter what you say is true or false, the other party will be skeptical. But an expert has his own experience and judgment. As long as you point out to him what he wants to see, he will be involuntarily involved. Do this

There is a prerequisite for this, that is, your level is higher than the opponent's and your methods are more refined.

"Master Fox, have you ever heard of mind reading?" You Fang didn't answer the question just now, but asked another question.

Mad Fox looked slightly startled: "I heard it vaguely, and I thought it was just a legend. Is it really true?"

You Fang calmly talked about it: "Since ancient times, the way of geography is also called Feng Shui. You need to know that the wind, flow, and water are changing, and you must also pay attention to the word 'vivid' in the ins and outs. In the eyes of ordinary people, the earth is not

Things remain unchanged, but that is not the case. Feng Shui masters should see the changes in the landscape since ancient times where they stand, and even deduce the movement of the earth's atmosphere in the next hundreds of years.

The riverbed in front has swayed, and it has curved more than 300 meters in the direction where we were standing from 500 years ago, so it has become the current pattern. Only the "Shuikou" has remained unchanged from the direction of the river back then.

The position between the two hills downstream can be determined by the water mouth in ancient times. This tomb was built according to the Feng Shui Yuan Yuan five hundred years ago, and the topography at that time was different from now."

In Feng Shui, the open area in front of the house is called "Mingtang", the back is called "Xuanwu" or "backer", the left side of the Mingtang is called "Qinglong", the right side is called "White Tiger", and the opposite side is called "

"Suzaku" or "Chaoan". The nearby mountains and rivers can be called "Lailong" and "Qumai" according to their direction. The location where the water source near the Mingtang flows away is called "Shuikou". If there is no river nearby, the direction in which the water flows away on rainy days

Also called water mouth. Of course Kuanghu understands these terms very well.

After answering this, You Fang smiled and continued: "Many people don't understand why the robbers in the wild can dig holes so accurately, as if they saw the tomb owner buried hundreds of years ago? Generally, archaeological excavations only explore the tombs.

It’s just me, but I don’t know that the guild of Dou Dou will explore the strata of nearby mountains and rivers, make calculations before starting, and not just shovel around the tombs. Mr. Fox is also an expert, don’t I need to explain more?”

Kuanghu shook his head: "I understand what you are saying, but I don't understand what it has to do with mind-disc magic. According to legend, it is so magical!"

Not to mention that Kuanghu couldn't figure it out, even You Fang, who just picked it up from words, didn't know the true meaning of mind reading. He only heard it mentioned by uncle Mo Wu. It is said that it is the supreme secret of ancient Feng Shui masters in surveying geography. Mastering it

There are two minimum entry requirements for the Heart Pan technique. One is to be familiar with the changes in various Feng Shui bureaus, and the other is to be able to enter a state of so-called "Heaven and Human Induction" before being able to operate the "Heart Pan".

It is said that after truly mastering the art of mind-disc, one can even use the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth for one's own use, and achieve incredible wonders such as seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, maintaining health and prolonging life, and exorcising ghosts and gods. It sounds very mysterious, and it is already similar to a kind of cultivation.

Miraculous legends are unbelievable, but the art of mind-disc itself is not completely without shadow. Many Feng Shui masters who have studied geography and geology have also touched the entry-level state of mind-disc. For example, when you stood here, you suddenly had an illusion.

, the soil beneath our feet disappeared layer by layer, the river in the distance receded step by step, and the erosion of the surrounding mountains and rivers was refilled, slowly returning to the topography of five hundred years ago.

It's not that you can really see it, but the stratigraphic distribution that you picked out in various places around you in the past few days, pieced together a complete "big territory" in your mind, and then peeled off or filled in layer by layer, changing into

The topography and landforms of previous eras are similar to the results of computer three-dimensional dynamic simulations made by geophysical exploration based on a large number of sample data.

There seems to be a compass in my heart that is constantly turning. As history goes back, various Feng Shui bureaus naturally appear one after another, showing the changes in Feng Shui's good and bad luck in various eras. This is a strange state of emptiness and selflessness, and You Fang is just distracted.

I had a vague feeling for a moment, but I couldn't get that feeling back afterwards.

The two were chatting in the field, their voices were so low that only each other could hear them clearly. Although You Fang didn't know the real secret of mind reading, he still stunned the other party. This is the most profound content of Feng Shui and Geography. After You Fang

Fang knows that talking to a mad fox is enough. If he only talks about Feng Shui theory and ancient secrets, he is no weaker than anyone else.

Kuang Hu sighed softly: "Mr. You is very young at a young age, but he is very knowledgeable! Talent, rare talent! So you have mastered the art of mind reading?"

You Fang shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the secret of the mind-panning technique lies in the movement of the earth's energy. It has nothing to do with tomb robbing. I only know a little bit about it, and there is no mastery at all." Be humble when you should be humble, and don't overdo it.

It seems more real. In fact, You Fang's "humility" has been exaggerated. He only understands some concepts of mind reading and has not even scratched the surface.

Kuang Hu continued to sigh: "It is very important to be professional. For example, it is difficult for me to get the exact location of this tomb. If it doesn't work, I can only uncover the top directly."

You Fang said calmly: "As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain, and a school is like a mountain. The Feng Shui learned by Mr. Hu belongs to the Shangluantou School. There is generally no problem in digging Han tombs and Tang tombs, but the Feng Shui style was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the Xuan Dynasty."

The Flying Star Sect has a great influence and pays attention to the rotation of Yuan Yun, the transformation of flying stars, the combination of fortune chart, mountain chart and astrolabe. It is very complicated. The larger the tomb, the more it pays attention to."

Kuanghu nodded repeatedly: "You are right. I used to specialize in Han tombs and Tang tombs, and all I sold were jade, bronze, and pottery. In the past few years, foreign devils have been causing trouble, and the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Prices are so high, we have to keep pace with the times!"

"You're good at keeping up with the times!" You Fang snorted, but you couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a criticism.

Kuanghu tentatively said again: "If I have a chance, I would like to ask Mr. You for some real skills in this area."

You Fang bluntly refused: "General exchanges and discussions are fine, but I can't break the rules and teach you the secrets of learning." His current identity is similar to that of an undercover agent who has broken into this gang. A good undercover agent does not just listen to what the boss says, but

All performances must be in line with the identity one pretends to be, and one should give the boss a hard time when appropriate. This is also the essence of charlatanism.

In the Feng Shui world, secrets have been passed down from master to master since ancient times, and outsiders cannot easily learn about them. Moreover, these skills are the basis for "long-term cooperation" between You Fang and Kuang Hu in the future, so it is normal not to teach them. According to the rules of the Tao, Kuang Hu's demands are too much.
