Chapter 173 Science and Superstition?Find Fang Dahai again!
Ancient tombs pay great attention to Feng Shui.
As the saying goes, if the ancestors are buried vertically, the descendants will be prosperous.
According to Taoism, after being buried in a geomantic treasure land, you can not only enjoy the glory and wealth underground.
It can also bless future generations with peace.
Therefore, when ancient people were buried, they usually asked a Feng Shui master to study Feng Shui.
Even in later generations with advanced science, Feng Shui remains timeless!
This is not a feudal superstition, but a real inheritance and cultural science!
For example, "The Number of Plum Blossoms" contains academic principles and statistical knowledge that can definitely stand the test!
What's more, our vast collection of Chinese classics is even more vast!
The most important thing is that people who understand Feng Shui are not only Feng Shui masters, but grave robbers are also masters of it!
In Lin Ran's impression, there was a tomb robber known as Mr. Li in later generations who destroyed the 2000-year-old ancient tombs in Qufu.
In Qufu, there are ancient tombs of the princes of the Lu State, with a total of more than [-] tombs.
Among them, 26 tombs were stolen by them.
And their tomb robbing methods are extremely barbaric.
After finding the location of the tomb, he directly used a detonator to blow up the gap in the ancient tomb and open the gap in the tomb chamber.
After the structure of the tomb was severely damaged, they entered the tomb, packed up all the gold, silver, jade and other items, and then sold them to cultural relic dealers through the ghost market to make profits.
When they were arrested, they made a profit of 500 million yuan by reselling cultural relics.
But research by archaeologists shows that the actual value of the cultural relics they sell is definitely over [-] million!
Moreover, most of them have disappeared, and the history of Lu State has finally lost a piece of the puzzle, which has become a regret in the hearts of archaeologists at the National Museum.
The reason why I think of this is because the information about this tomb group is clearly recorded in the "Book of Lu Ban".
If you want to open the tomb, you need to be extremely cautious.
Because there are two false doors at the entrance of the tomb. As long as one of them is opened, the real door will be completely covered with soil, burying the tomb forever.
Lin Ran was also shocked by this ingenious design.
Unfortunately, the craftsmen back then still misjudged the strength of later generations of tomb robbers. Since they couldn't find the entrance, they used bombs to blow it up.
The trend of tomb robbing has not yet flourished, and at present it is still dominated by Tufuzi.
Of course the authorities are aware of the existence of Tufuzi, but they just turn a blind eye. There will also be some underground cooperation with "uncertified" experts from the private sector.
Because there were no Tufuzi, they could not obtain a large number of cultural relics for exhibition.
Lin Ran thought to himself, rather than being wreaked havoc by future generations of tomb robbers, it would be better to strike first.
With this tome in hand, as long as he finds the location of the tomb, Lin Ran can use the above description to find the mechanism to crack the tomb without damaging the structure of the tomb!
When grave robbers obtain cultural relics, they often end up overseas.
This can be regarded as a curve to save the country.
Even though the treasure inside was priceless, Lin Ran was more concerned about its historical significance.
It is our duty to protect cultural relics!
Lin Ran made up his mind to dig out the cultural relics before the tomb robbers, and keep his ancestors' things in the country and pass them on to future generations!
He was hesitant in his ambition, and he had already read the entire series by flipping through the pages.
When Lin Ran was feeling poor and happy, there was a knock on the door, which startled Lin Ran.
After all, what he was reading now was an evil book, and it was a mountain village at night, so he would inevitably feel scared.
Fortunately, it was his mother who knocked on the door.
Mother Lin walked into the door and saw Lin Ran sitting at the desk and said, "Xiao Ran, it's time to eat."
"Okay, I'm here." Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, then folded the book and put it in the drawer.
Before I knew it, an all-nighter had passed!
He was humming a little song, and the family was waiting for him to come for dinner. Lin Wanjun saw his arrogance and glared at him: "What are you doing in Silly Music?"
"Secret." Lin Ran said mysteriously.
"Tell me about it?" Lin Wanjun's interest was aroused.
"Don't tell you."
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"
"How dare you bully your brother in front of your parents?" Lin Ran refused to be outdone.
Since Zhang Mazi's crisis was resolved, the atmosphere at home has become more and more harmonious.
Lin's mother thought that Lin Ran was just secretly happy because he had built the temple, so she didn't take it to heart.
Instead, he persuaded Lin Wanjun: "Wanjun, don't bully your brother all the time, and love each other, you know?"
"He was the one who provoked me first." Lin Wanjun stuck out her tongue.
But seeing Lin Ran looking at him with a victor's expression, he could only stare back.
"Xiao Ran, what are the things you brought from the temple today?" While eating, Mother Lin suddenly remembered that Lin Ran had brought things back from the temple.
"They're all antiques."
"You can't take things in the temple randomly, you know?" Mother Lin said seriously to Lin Ran.
"Mom, they were all given to me by the abbot, and they are not from the temple. They were left behind by members of the imperial court who used to worship in the temple." Lin Ran explained.
He knew that if he didn't explain clearly, his mother would only become more worried.
So he told everything about the abbot's insistence on giving things to him.
"Since it is given to you by the abbot, you should accept it well and keep it well. It will be a blessing."
"I will, don't worry." Lin Ran agreed on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart.
These things were all left by Prince Teng, whom the abbot disliked very much. Prince Teng would not end well in the end. It was unrealistic to keep them here to attract blessings, but it was possible to invite disaster.
……
After finishing the meal, Lin Ran went out with the gilt Feihong's silver cage and glass saucer.
He is going to find Fang Dahai.
I had promised Fang Dahai before that even if I became successful in the future, I would never forget him. This can be regarded as a kind of relationship marketing!
Taking a rickshaw, we arrived at the door of Fang Dahai's shop. As soon as the store clerk saw Lin Ran, he ran out to greet him.
Fang Dahai was still receiving other customers in the shop and was bargaining.
Seeing Lin Ran appear, he seemed extremely happy. He didn't even bother to negotiate the price and accepted it directly according to the final price offered by the other party.
He wants to leave more time to Brother Lin!
The waiter had already figured out Fang Dahai's temper, made tea in advance and served it.
"Brother Fang, has business been good recently?" Lin Ran asked. Every time he came, he saw Fang Dahai sitting on a chair and resting. Today he actually saw a customer.
"Haha, this is thanks to Brother Tolin. Since I sold a few treasures in my store, I have become somewhat famous in the neighborhood." Fang Dahai replied with a smile.
Lin Ran smiled and said nothing, so Fang Dahai looked for a topic and said: "Brother Lin is a celebrity recently. I heard that people in Panjiayuan call you the little master. Is this relevant?"
Fang Dahai also heard from hearsay that Lin Ran was highly appreciated by experts from the Palace Museum, but the specific reasons were ominous.
He was particularly curious about this.
Lin Ran told Fang Dahai what happened in Panjiayuan, but concealed his agreement with Wei Chengbin.
Fang Dahai was stunned for a moment.
"You said that both Zheng Xueming and Mr. Qin were mistaken?" Fang Dahai couldn't imagine what kind of fake could make both masters mistaken.
The most amazing thing is that Lin Ran actually found a way to spot fakes!
The only adjective he can think of is "bold" as a skilled artist.
After some pleasantries, Lin Ran put the red cloth on the table and spread it out without talking nonsense.
"Is this?" Fang Dahai's eyes widened.
One looks like a birdcage and the other looks like a saucer.
But what Lin Ran brought could be a mortal thing?
