Chapter 820 Against the Wind and the Current

? Zhong Kaiyuan was about to turn around and arrange the sacrificial objects in the sarcophagus, but when he heard Liu Lang's words, he stopped suddenly, frowned and said, "You doubt my judgment?"

"No doubt." Liu Lang shook his head, "I don't believe it at all."

Seeing Liu Lang confronting his teacher tit for tat, Chen Sheng wanted to die. What the hell did he hire? Just work and get paid. What's so much nonsense!

Chen Sheng has followed Zhong Kaiyuan since he was an undergraduate, and he knows Zhong Kaiyuan's temper best.

Zhong Kaiyuan’s most taboo is that someone doubts him, especially in the professional field. Before, an archeology expert from Beijing University questioned his thesis. When this matter was heard by Zhong Kaiyuan, Zhong Kaiyuan immediately I flew from Jiangnan Province to the capital, found that expert, and debated with that expert for three days.

If it wasn't for that expert who took so much trouble and gave in, Zhong Kaiyuan would not have come back.

"Hurry up and work, do you still need a salary?" Chen Sheng hurriedly pulled Liu Lang.

"Chen Sheng, just stay and go!" Zhong Kaiyuan said in a deep voice.

Chen Sheng's body froze for a moment, he knew that he couldn't stop the volcano from erupting, "Brother, please pray for yourself!" Chen Sheng whispered in Liu Lang's ear, and then obediently withdrew to the side.

The members of the other archaeological team also heard Zhong Kaiyuan's voice, stopped what they were doing one by one, and looked at Zhong Kaiyuan.

"I wish I was lucky? Could it be that this old man beats people even if he doesn't agree with him?" Thinking back to Chen Sheng's words, Liu Lang was a little skeptical. The teacher Chen Sheng looks quite educated, he shouldn't be such a violent person, right?

While Liu Lang was thinking, Zhong Kaiyuan said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Who?" Through the eyes of truth, Liu Lang only knew that the name of the old man in front of him was Zhong Kaiyuan, but the specific identity and background could not be seen with the eyes of truth.

Zhong Kaiyuan snorted coldly: "My name is Zhong Kaiyuan. I am a professor at the School of History of Jiangnan Humanities University, a director of the Huaxia Archaeological Association, and the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Archaeological Association. I have been studying ancient tombs since I was eighteen, and it is almost five years old now. Ten years, who gave you the courage to doubt me?"

Liu Lang came to the ancient tomb as a migrant worker to see if there was anything related to "Exorcism". He didn't intend to target Zhong Kaiyuan. The sentence just now was not meant for Zhong Kaiyuan. I just feel like it's a waste of time digging the soil in that corner.

However, now that Zhong Kaiyuan is being aggressive and showing off his identity and qualifications to himself, Liu Lang naturally can't say nothing.

"Professor Qian, right? There is a saying that there is no priority in learning, and those who have achieved it come first. Sometimes seniority and age can't represent everything." Liu Lang laughed.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth." Zhong Kaiyuan nodded, "Tell me why you insisted that there are no funeral objects there. If you can make sense, everything is easy to say, and if you can't make sense, you don't have to do it. Already, leave early."

"I definitely have a reason." Liu Lang said confidently: "However, before I say my reasoning, I want to hear why Professor Zhong thinks there are funeral objects there."

"Okay, then I'll tell you, and everyone else is listening, don't know it every day but don't know why!" Zhong Kaiyuan shouted to the others.

The other members of the archaeological team immediately surrounded them.

As a university professor, Zhong Kaiyuan is specialized in lecturing. The more people listen to him, the more excited he is.

Clearing his throat, Zhong Kaiyuan said: "The ancient Chinese mausoleum system is an important content of traditional Chinese culture, and it is also an important materialized form of Chinese traditional ritual and music civilization. The mausoleum system of different eras reflects the cultural thoughts and social styles of different periods. , and the tombs of different ages also have obvious differences in composition. According to the existing unearthed objects, we can judge that this tomb is about a thousand years ago, and the burial objects of that era all have a features,

It was placed in one or two corners of the main tomb. Judging from the tombs that have been excavated so far, most of the unearthed burial objects are located in the southeast corner. funeral objects. "

After Zhong Kaiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Lang with some complacency.

The members of the archaeological team, after listening to it, nodded again and again, thinking that the professor is a professor, and what he said was reasonable, but everyone still felt that Zhong Kaiyuan's competition with a migrant worker was a bit of a fuss.

But everyone knows that Zhong Kaiyuan likes to be serious, so it's hard to say anything.

After Liu Lang listened, he stretched out his hand, patted it a few times, and gave Zhong Kaiyuan a round of applause. After the applause, "Professor Zhong has extensive knowledge and experience. Tomb, most of the funerary objects are located in the southeast corner?"

"this……"

Zhong Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why it had to be the southeast corner, it was just his past experience that the southeast corner was the most, so he chose to let Chen Sheng and Liu Lang dig the southeast corner first.

Seeing that Zhong Kaiyuan was speechless, Liu Lang smiled faintly, "Professor Zhong was still saying just now that he couldn't know it but he didn't know why, and he made the same mistake in the end."

"Say it as if you know why." Zhong Kaiyuan said with an ugly face.

"Of course I know why!" Liu Lang walked to the sarcophagus and said loudly: "The ancients cared about good and bad luck the most. Whether it is the placement of coffins or funeral objects, there are rules. , Under the general terrain of mountains and rivers, the coffins are placed with their heads facing southeast and feet northwest. But look at the orientation of this sarcophagus, which is completely opposite to the normal situation!"

"I've noticed this a long time ago." Zhong Kaiyuan said in a deep voice.

"You noticed it, but do you know why it's placed like this?" Liu Lang asked.

"I..." Zhong Kaiyuan got stuck again.

"This is because the terrain of the mountains and rivers here is completely different from other places. It is both a fierce place and an auspicious place. It all depends on how the owner of the tomb manages it."

As soon as Liu Lang stretched out his hand, he took out the compass of immortality. Of course, this time it was not to locate someone's position, but to use it as a real compass.

"Although this place is a mountain ridge, it is much lower than the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the river passes by it, which can be regarded as gathering wind and water, but the wind has the direction of the wind, and the water has the direction of the water, but the geomantic omen of this place is reversed. Qian is a horse, Kun is a cow, Zhen is a dragon, and Qian is, Kun is the abdomen, and Zhen is the foot. Therefore, the southeast direction is really the most ominous position, so when burying the coffin, the direction is specially adjusted to let the wind and the water It has become smooth sailing, the positions of the coffins have been adjusted, and the funerary objects can still be placed in the southeast direction of the big murderer?"

"Are you really a migrant worker?" The others were confused, but Zhong Kaiyuan had studied burials for many years, and he knew something about yin and yang, five elements and eight trigrams, as well as the art of geomantic omen.

Hearing what Liu Lang said, he immediately realized that he had made a serious mistake.
