Four hundred and eighty-ninth chapter gold points fixed point
Late at night, the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.
——"Snowy Night" by Bai Juyi
…
(Today I am rewriting the previous chapter, adding more than 700 words.)
After inspecting the outer house, the three of them walked towards the inner house.
There is also a snow wall between the outer house and the inner house, with an arch in the middle, also called the "Second Gate".
The outer house is where the male master meets guests, discusses official matters, and entertains guests. Women and children are not allowed to come and go at will.
The "second door" of the inner house is usually guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to enter indiscriminately, and the maids of the inner house are not allowed to leave at will.
Pass through the "second gate" and go from the outer house to the inner house.
Like the outer house, the inner house is also a square courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard is a two-story building, which is the inner hall in charge of the hostess, used to receive the female family members and take charge of housework.
The swallowing beasts at both ends of the main ridge of the inner hall roof are also "dragon kisses", but there are no squatting beasts on the four vertical ridges. Each vertical ridge has two hunched dragons back to back.
The first floor of the small building has walls on all four sides. The second floor has no walls. It is an open attic with a curtain as a wall, supported only by wooden pillars, like a pavilion. Under the eaves on all four sides, there are bamboo roller blinds, rolled into a bunch and hung on the
above.
The three of them went upstairs and lowered the bamboo curtain. Through the bamboo curtain, it not only blocked the figures of the people upstairs, but also did not hinder the view. The pavilions, lakes and mountains in the back garden had a panoramic view.
Sitting upstairs under a bamboo curtain to shade the sun, the three of them could enjoy the cool breeze and take a rest.
…
Bai Fu asked: "I wonder how you can judge the situation and determine the location of the treasure when you are looking for a dragon in the underground palace? In addition, will Mrs. Guo hide her belongings in a manor outside the city?"
Tu Xingsun said: "According to the formula of 'deterrence', my eldest brother can distinguish the gold points and determine the acupoints without the cooperation of a compass and a golden needle, and accurately confirm the dragon, sand, acupoints, water, and directions in Feng Shui, thus confirming the ancient times."
The location of the tomb.”
Sun Dashan smiled and said: "I'm still somewhat sure about the tomb, but where would a living person hide the treasure? It's my first time to search according to the map. I can only give it a try. Find out the secret of Jin Xiaowei's method of dividing the gold deposit.
It may not work.
It is said that Mrs. Guo's treasures were accumulated in mountains and mountains. I speculate that she would hide valuables such as jewels and jade in the palace, and store stables, sheep and horses in the manor. Therefore, if her treasures are not found, they must be hidden in Chang'an City.
at home."
Bai Fu said: "But Mrs. Guo's mansion is so big, how can we find the precise location?"
Sun Dashan smiled and said: "The layout of the organs in the ancient tomb and the location of the burial tunnel can be used to calculate the outline and orientation of the ancient tomb palace and other details through the ground sealing, open towers and other structures.
Another way of thinking about hiding treasures in the living person is that there are traces to follow.
Mrs. Guo Guo had many houses in the city, but this house occupied the largest area. The ground outside the house was solid, which was suitable for building secret passages and secret rooms.
The back garden has an undulating terrain that hides wind and gathers energy. It is not only a prosperous house, but also a good place for wealth, and it is also a good place to hide treasures.
According to Brother Bai, the construction of the roof of the main hall is not in accordance with the etiquette. Mrs. Guo Guo dared to risk going overboard and designed this style. It is very likely that the clues to the secret room are found in the main hall.
Bai Fu thought about it and said: "In the middle of the main hall, to the north, it is said that there was originally a large landscape screen, inlaid with jewels and framed by red sandalwood. There was an Arhat bed in front of the screen. There were several tables under the bed.
Cases and tables. In front of the big bed, there are rows of small couches on both sides. There are also several tables on the bed.
There are various incense burners, heaters, lamps and candles standing in the corner of the main hall. The whole room is divided and decorated with tents and curtains. The ground is covered with a thick Xuancheng carpet.
Nowadays, the main hall is empty. I knocked on the walls and floor tiles on all four sides, and they are all solid. It doesn’t look like there is a mezzanine or a dark room. According to the records of Sun Xiaozhe’s staff, they searched Guo Guo’s Lady’s Mansion no less than five times and found it.
There were many secret rooms and hidden compartments, but no mountains of treasure were found.
How can I find the mechanism that opens the darkroom? Can you please teach me, senior?"
Sun Dashan smiled and said: "The mechanisms in the ancient tombs are ambush, and there are deep Yi principles hidden in them. If you are not proficient in the changes of the five elements, it is difficult to get a glimpse of them.
In addition to the commonly mentioned 'Four Symbols and Six Gods, Eight Gates of Dunjia, and Nine Stars and Nine Palaces', there is also the most basic method: 'Hidden in the public, hidden in the dust, revealed in the special'."
Bai Fu humbly asked for advice, "How do you say this?"
Sun Dashan said: "In other words, the most sublime mechanisms are often hidden under the eyes of the public, so that when you look at them, you won't feel anything strange, and there is no sense of being inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
However, the mechanism has a unique triggering mechanism and will not be triggered easily. Even if it is discovered, the mechanism cannot be activated.
As the saying goes, those who know are easy to know, and those who do not know are easy to be confused.
Let me ask you, based on this rule, are there any corners in the main hall that you haven’t noticed? Which places do you feel are strange, but you have not gained anything after inspection?”
Bai Fu patted his thigh and said: "There are ordinary things in the main hall that I couldn't think of at the moment. But the special thing, apart from the ridge of the roof, is the caisson directly above the famous hall!"
…
The three of them returned to the outer house again and came to the famous hall.
The top of the famous hall is a Douba caisson, which is gradually formed from the eight sides of the Liangfang towards the center with layers of Dougongs. The Dougongs are gilded and concentrated towards the core, arching the Dragon Well like the sky. The top mirror is painted with the sun and two dragons, symbolizing
"sky".
Four more gate towers were erected on the beam squares on the four sides of the ceiling at the entrance of the well. Although they are small in size, they are complete with roofs, brackets, beams and columns, and flat platform foundations, just like a mandala and pavilions suspended in heaven.
This caisson is divided into two sections, the upper and lower sections. The lower section is just a general bracket, while the upper section has a spiral bracket. When you look at it, it seems like the sky is spinning.
Sun Dashan narrowed his eyes, stared for a moment and said: "The upper and lower sections of this caisson are distributed according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, which coincide with the astrological signs."
After that, he took out the compass from his arms and adjusted it to the same position on the upper and lower sections of the caisson. The dragon-seeking ruler trembled slightly and pointed outside the house.
The three of them came out of the house and took a look. The position pointed by the dragon ruler was exactly the bracket in the southeast corner of the eaves.
Dougong is the most wonderful structure of palaces and pavilions. It can break the stressed beams and columns into hundreds of small components. These small components can then be combined into one large component using the relationship between the vertebrae and the vertebrae, thus creating many nodes and solving the problem.
External force and transmitted weight.
The main hall of Mrs. Guo Guo is huge in scale, with thousands of brackets!
Bai Fu's scalp felt numb when he saw it, and he said: "What should we do? Is it possible to dismantle the house and put it together piece by piece for testing?"
Sun Dashan pointed at the Dou Gong and explained one by one: "A set of Dou Gong has at least four types of parts: 'Dou', 'Gong', 'Ang' and 'Fang'.
'Dou' is divided into big and small, 'Gong' is divided into long and short, 'Ang' is divided into true and false, and 'Fang' is also divided into length and thickness.
Divided according to their positions, 'dou' includes 挌 Dou, Qixin Dou, Interactive Dou, Scattered Dou, etc.; 'Gong' includes Hua Gong, Gua Gong, Ling Gong, Xiang Gong, single Qi, double Qi, etc.; 'Ang' has
Shang'ang, Xia'ang and Zhen'ang, false'ang; 'Fang' includes Zhengxin Fang, Luohan Fang, Jingkou Fang, etc.
In terms of shape, the dou has the lines of 'plate bucket', the raised mouth can be cut into 'splitting bamboo' and 'qin face'. The arched head can be carved into a grasshopper, and the arched body can be carved into curves such as dragon, phoenix, and elephant."
…
"Stop, stop!" Tu Xingsun, who had been silent just now, jumped out quickly and stopped his brother from continuing.
Sun Dashan smiled sheepishly and said: "Sorry, sorry, I am very interested in the manufacturing and assembly of equipment. The art of building brackets is the soul of Central Plains architecture. I can't help but show off! Haha."
Tu Xingsun replied to Bai: "These brackets may seem complicated, but in fact they have a 'king' position. As long as you find it, you can decipher its secrets.
