Chapter 172 Save the country through curves!The secret of the imperial mausoleum!
The "Book of Lu Ban" in my hands is exactly the legendary lost volume!
And Lin Ran can be sure that this is the original Luban book!
Definitely not those templates that have gone through several "bans" and lost a lot of precious content!
Looking at the content above, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little mentally unwell.
It is completely different from people's impression of Luban's ingenious craftsmanship. This book does not explain the construction craftsmanship at all, but describes various talismans in large sections.
When you open the first page, you are advised to read the book to be mentally prepared before reading down. There is also a drawing of an eye that seems to be bleeding.
No wonder it was called an evil book. Even a person like Lin Ran, who had no faith in superstition at all, felt a little chill down his spine after reading it.
Continuing to scroll back, it has deviated from Luban's original intention as a craftsman, and it is all about Feng Shui and spells.
For example, it can make people cook rice that will never be cooked, turn paper into fish, and even draw symbols out of thin air, turn machine beasts into pigeons, and so on.
No wonder this book has been banned by successive dynasties. If this thing spreads, I am afraid it will become another cult book.
The same was true in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to Buddhism and naturally could not tolerate such books about demons and ghosts. Only a deviant like King Teng, as a member of the royal family, still read this book in the temple.
Looking at the contents of the book, the following things are all about curses.
Even the legendary paper-tying man came from this book. Lin Ran closed the book and completely lost interest.
First of all, having received higher education from later generations, he did not believe in the talismans in the book, which was completely ridiculous.
Secondly, Lin Ran had never thought of harming anyone, and was even less interested in the curse method above.
He turned the book directly to the last few pages, that was what he was interested in!
Rumor has it that the last chapter of Lu Ban's book is about the construction method of crypts.
According to folk rumors, during the Song Dynasty, the emperor once ordered people to study the "Book of Lu Ban" and create a tomb according to its final method so that they could move in a hundred years later.
In order to keep the secret secret, all those involved in the construction of the tomb were eventually executed.That's why there are rumors that reading Lu Ban's book will bring misfortune.
In the crypt chapter, there are not only the construction methods of tombs, the content of Feng Shui, but also the acupuncture skills.
"Is there really a secret method of acupuncture in the world?" Lin Ran looked at it and wrote down the acupuncture skills. However, he had never learned Qigong and did not know whether it was useful. He just kept the acupoint map in his mind.
Perhaps these are not acupoints, but are used to describe the mechanisms in the tomb.
After Lin Ran's identification, this book was rebuilt during the Song Dynasty. It not only recorded the positions of tombs in the Song Dynasty and the structure of imperial tombs, but also included the design of ancient tombs in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The emperors of that time believed that even if they died, they could still rule and rule in the underground world.
Therefore, they attach great importance to tombs and often start building them before they are alive.
Although the specific location of the tomb was not recorded, Lin Ran was filled with emotion after having the general structure diagram of the tomb.
From ancient times to the present, the government has always followed the tomb robbers.
After all, one is active exploration and the other is rescue excavation, so the efficiency is naturally different!
In other words, after the tomb robbers discovered the ancient tombs, they would not report it to the state immediately. Instead, they would use their own methods to violently open the tombs and steal the artifacts inside.
Most of them don't understand the structure of the ancient tombs, and they don't care whether it will cause damage. They just need to pry them open. As a result, when most of the ancient tombs are discovered, they are full of holes, and it is even difficult to identify the true identities of the corpses inside. .
Moreover, most of the transactions of the tomb robbers were carried out secretly, and no one knew where they sold the things.
After the relevant laws and regulations were clarified in later generations, only a few people in twos and threes handed over the cultural relics they bought from tomb robbers to the National Museum.
However, there are still a large number of cultural relics buried among the people and their whereabouts are unknown.
The most distressing thing is that a large number of cultural relics have appeared in the hands of museums in other countries and overseas collectors!
For example, the imperial sword of Emperor Yongle was lost overseas, which is simply a scandal in the world!
If Emperor Yongle knew about it, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin!
This is the pain that can never be erased from the hearts of all Chinese people!
What Lin Ran cares about is not the value of these cultural relics, but the loss and destruction of these cultural relics, which has caused a historical gap.
A country cannot be without history, and this is especially true for China, which has a heritage of 5000 years.
There are too many gaps in the 5000-year history because of the wanton destruction by tomb robbers and the occupation by foreign invaders.
This has become an eternal regret for historical researchers!
Moreover, they also found that most of this damage occurred around the 80s.
As the so-called gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
It is precisely because life in this era gradually began to get better and material conditions gradually became more abundant, so antiques gradually came to the stage.
Tomb robbers found that the price of antiques was rising, so they naturally worked harder to steal ancient tombs.
Fortunately, the government does not blindly suppress tomb robbers. For example, local masters from various places are very familiar with the soil. After being recognized by the government, a large number of people were recruited to join the government in exploring ancient tombs across the country.
Officials can only let go of the damage they have caused, creating a delicate balance.
This can be regarded as a way to save the country. After all, if they blindly suppress the tomb robbers, they will only keep the secret in their hearts forever.
Blocking is worse than sparing, this is an eternal truth!
Lin Ran came back from his thoughts.
He began to read the introduction about the tomb in the Crypt Chapter of the Book of Lu Ban. He wanted to write down every detail. He would definitely have the opportunity to inspect and excavate the tomb in the future.
Qin Mausoleum, Han Mausoleum, Tang Mausoleum...
Sure enough, there are records of the tombs of various dynasties, and the designs of the tombs each have their own merits.
The wisdom of the ancients is indeed not something to be boasted about. Most tombs were designed with the risk of being stolen in mind.
Especially for the founding emperors, they were worried that when the time came, their enemies would exhume and whip their corpses, causing them to have no rest at the foot of the spring.
But they never thought that the dynasty in their eyes would collapse suddenly and be replaced by a new dynasty.
It was originally a night in a mountain village. Looking at the knowledge about tombs, there were strange birds chirping outside the window from time to time. It should have been a very strange atmosphere.
But Lin Ran's face revealed excitement.
Lin Ran was very excited as he looked at the tombs one after another.
"Is this the design of ancient imperial tombs?" He closed the book and began to recall every detail.
In his previous life, he had actually visited many tombs for investigation and research, but he only stayed on the surface.
Only now did it become clear that many of the tombs he had visited before had been damaged, but they didn't notice it at all.
Some tomb robbers are very clever. They are afraid of being held accountable or being haunted by evil spirits. After stealing items, they will try their best to restore the tomb to its original state. This will also cause archaeologists to seriously misjudge the tomb.
Lin Ran clenched his fists. Now that most of the tombs have not been stolen, it is not too late!
Since God has allowed me to live another life, if I can get ahead of these profit-seeking and unscrupulous people and reveal the original appearance of the tomb through protective excavation, I can be regarded as a responsible person for the yizh era!
At the very least, I can guarantee the authenticity of the historical truth, and I can sell the items directly to the authorities through some special channels, and I can also ensure that the cultural relics are not lost overseas. It can be called a curve to save the country!
