National treasure

Uncle Gao and Zhong Zhe shook their heads together, and they said almost at the same time: "That's the tomb of suspicion."

Then Zhong Zhe explained: "Many emperors would set up suspicious tombs for themselves. For example, Cao Cao had 72 suspicious tombs, and the more famous Genghis Khan had so many suspicious tombs that no real tomb has been found so far. This kind of funeral Under the system, most of the tombs that are usually placed in the open are suspicious tombs, especially when it is deduced that the Nuwa Mausoleum is likely to be the location of the altar that opened the Hetu, so it is even more impossible to be easily exposed in front of people."

Uncle Gao added: "I have been the curator of cultural museums for so many years, and I have visited so many places. Naturally, it is not in vain. Now the few Nuwa mausoleums that are rumored on the surface, no matter whether the Emperor Wa is actually buried or not, at least there is no one. There is a speculated huge project underground."

He turned and said: "About the specific location of the altar, Zhong Zhe, have you noticed that the other party has collected a large amount of Ming Dynasty documents in the file folder about Hetu?"

Zhong Zhe nodded, "I have noticed this unusual phenomenon. But I haven't figured out a conclusion. Uncle Gao, don't hold your breath, just say it."

"Have you ever thought that even with today's exploration technology, it is very likely that the real altar is not found.

I have been working in cultural archaeology for so many years. I am not only familiar with the major underground archaeological discoveries in China, but also the known tombs of emperors.Over the years, Huaxia's underground has been explored all over, but I can't find any underground projects above the level of Wangling that meet our inferences.

There is also the place name 'Tang', do you know 'Tangyi'?It is the ancient name of Liuhe. "

Cheng Ling was much more familiar with the divisions and place names of Huaxia than Zhong Zhe, so he blurted out, "Liuhe is just around here."

"That's right, right here, it belongs to Jinling."

"Liuhe," Zhong Zhe's attention fell on this term, "'Liuhe refers to the four directions of heaven and earth.'Liuhe refers to the world and the world. Liuhe also has metaphysical meanings, Zichouhe, Yin Hai He, Mao Xu He, Chen You He, Si Shen He, Noon Wei He are collectively referred to as Liuhe.

Could it be that Liuhe is where the altar is located?It sounds very in line with the needs of the ancients in the meaning of heaven and earth. "

"Whether there is an underground altar in Liuhe, it doesn't matter for the time being. Jinling has an imperial tomb. Have you ever thought about the possibility that the reason why this huge underground project can't be found is that it may have been misidentified. Hidden within some larger, more visible project."

Zhong Zhe was surprised and said: "Uncle Gao, you mean that you suspect that the altar is located in the known emperor's mausoleum, so it can cover up the traces well and not be discovered? Tangyi, Liuhe, Ming Dynasty literature. Uncle Gao, don't you It must be pointing at Zhong Shan."

Speaking excitedly, Uncle Gao, who was dancing with arms and legs and whose eyes were shining brightly, raised his voice slightly: "Think about your own inference before, if Hetu is protected by official power, then the altar will be protected. It was built with the support of successive dynasties.

Do you remember the legend of the Zhongshan Mausoleum? The emperor who founded the country was not buried in the mausoleum, but the scale of this mausoleum can be regarded as the forefront among the mausoleums of the emperors of all dynasties in China.The entire mausoleum took three generations of emperors, and it took more than 30 years to finally complete it. All the mausoleums built with such huge sums of money and all the power of the country in the past are almost impossible to be vacant as suspicious tombs. The waste is too high.From the point of view of Feng Shui, the treasure hole should not be left empty, as it will be harmful to future generations.

So, who is buried in the imperial tomb? "

Zhong Zhe followed his train of thought, a flash of inspiration flashed across his mind, and suddenly said: "Before the Ming Dynasty, it was the Yuan Dynasty. According to the dynasty at that time, it was ruled by a foreign race. For the ancestors, for the orthodoxy, come to seek for generations to come, and bless the emperor to continue..."

"It doesn't seem impossible, does it?" Uncle Gao smiled smugly when he said this.

This guess is too bold, but there is an intuition in his heart that tells Zhong Zhe that this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. If this conclusion is ignored and not confirmed, it will even make him sleepless.

"Is there any way to verify this conjecture? Or provide more evidence to support it?" Obviously Cheng Ling's question was much more straightforward.

"This involves another important point, the issue of sacrificial rituals.

I have deduced from the documents collected by the other party that this ceremony must be performed on the new moon, which is the day of the new moon.The theft of the river map happened before the last full moon, and we are now a few days away from the next new moon.In other words, at the earliest before this, they will not perform any rituals. Even if the thieves want to give up Luoshu and venture to open Hetu alone, they must wait until the day of the new moon.

If you want to ask for my suggestion, I think the sooner you apply to the relevant department, the better. It is a special case, and it is best to confirm my guess first.

If it's really what I think, the other party probably hasn't entered the sacrificial place yet.The original intention of the thieves is to use the sacrificial site intact, but entering and exploring rashly may cause unexpected damage, which the thieves cannot afford.

They may have more information, and even touched the entrance and the way to enter the ground, but they should not enter before the new moon arrives. They will strictly follow the procedures of the ancients to ensure that the river map can be fully opened. "

After listening to Uncle Gao's suggestion, Zhong Zhe looked at Cheng Ling, who said to him, "It shouldn't be a problem to get approval to investigate the imperial mausoleum. This operation has the highest priority. But before that, I need Confirm your opinion, you are the designated expert for this mission."

Under the light, Cheng Ling looked serious, and Zhong Zhe felt the pressure of decision.He nodded solemnly, "I think it is necessary to visit that place before the new moon."

"Well, I will arrange the rest. Afterwards, you will jointly draft a report and explain it clearly."

Uncle Gao laughed, "Don't worry, I'm better at reporting to the superior than either of you."

Out of the study, Zhong Zhe was in front and Cheng Ling was behind. The two returned to the guest room in silence. When they were about to enter their respective rooms, Zhong Zhe said, "I want to take out the tortoise shell and bring it with me. Since the priest Most of the places can be used for common use, if you want to explore the place, Luo Shu will bring it with you, maybe it will be useful, and it can also be used for verification."

Cheng Ling looked at him, "Where did you put the tortoise shell?"

"Mr. Zhong has an old house in Zhenjiang. After we left, I asked him to take the tortoise shell back to China first. I guess we made a circle and eventually came back, as expected. We attracted the main attention, the people who stared at him Less, and besides, it's safer with him than anywhere else in my name.

Tomorrow, I will trouble you to take it out with me. "

Zhong Zhe spoke politely, but anyone could tell that the polite tone was full of alienation.

"Zhong Zhe," Cheng Ling's face was completely hidden in the dark of the corridor, making it impossible to see his expression clearly, "You don't have to worry about my attitude. In my eyes, there are only tasks.

Protecting you and assisting you are all my missions, the ultimate goal is to get 003 back.

As long as you do your part well and I do mine well, we can continue to cooperate happily. "

"Very good. Now that we have reached a consensus, I believe that the cooperation will enter a new stage of success." Zhong Zhe smiled indifferently, turned around with gloomy eyes, and pushed the door into the room.

Cheng Ling looked at him, and didn't open his own door until the door was completely closed behind Zhong Zhe.
