Chapter 475 [Canopy ruler]!

With this understanding of the things in this small closet, Zuo Yang also felt a little relaxed.

However, he was not in a hurry, but waited patiently for the breath that was like a flood discharge to slow down slightly, and then said to Bu Ya, who had no feelings at all, "I'll light it up, come and help me take out these wooden strips, be careful when taking them."

Although he knew that this breath would not harm him, he did not dare to be completely sure that he would not be affected by some other effects, so he still had to leave a way out.

But Bu Ya is different. He has no feeling about this aura and should not be affected. Besides, even if there is any impact, he can help him in time with him. On the contrary, Bu Ya cannot help him.

"No problem, I'll leave it to me."

Bu Ya was originally an active person, and standing behind the lighting made him itchy. When he heard Zuo Yang's words, he naturally agreed and came up.

One, two, three...

This guy didn't know anything, and he had no defense or fear in his heart. He pulled up those wooden strips and moved quite quickly.

After a while, as the wooden strips became fewer and fewer, the arrangement between them naturally became looser and looser. When they arrived at the back, Bu Ya simply pulled out one by one, and the speed immediately became a little faster.

Soon, more than half of the wooden strips were taken out, revealing a wooden board standing up inside, as if it had reached its head.

"Brother, look, how to deal with this wooden board? I will also open it together to see what else is behind it?"

Seeing that the wooden strips were almost finished, Bu Ya subconsciously turned around and asked, "This guy is also a thick and thin guy, and he doesn't just do anything directly when he encounters any situation."

"You get out of the way, I'll take a look first."

Zuo Yang had already seen the wooden board, but in order to see more carefully, he still gave in to the cliff and stepped aside, leaned closer and thought about the wooden board blocking the back to look at it.

This is also a piece of cypress. Judging from the texture above, it is no longer a cross-section of a tree, but a vertical section.

In addition, if you look inside, you can see that on the left and right sides of the wooden board, some wooden sticks that are the same as those little cypress sticks just now have appeared.

But the difference is that the small cypress sticks taken out were displayed north-south, while the small cypress sticks on the left and right sides of the wooden board were displayed east-west... This way of placing makes people feel that these small cypress sticks seem to be to surround something of a cube?

"This is……?"

Zuo Yang suddenly thought of something and quickly picked up the small cypress stick that had been dug out by Bu Ya to check.

I saw that these small cypress sticks all removed the bark outside the trunk, and all showed a light yellow wood color... These are not ordinary cypress trees, but a unique yellow-hearted cypress trees!

"Huangyan topic!?"

The idea was confirmed, and the four words Zuo Yang's mind became clear in an instant.

The so-called "yellow intestines" is a form of tombs that was popular between the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and only the royal family is qualified to use. Even some princes and important officials who have made great contributions must obtain the special approval of the royal family to be buried as an honor.

Even so, the princes and important officials were unable to use yellow-hearted cypress wood like the royal family, and could only use pine wood or other miscellaneous wood.

The characteristics of this tomb form are the same as what Zuo Yang sees now: one is that it is laid layer by layer and stacked, and generally does not use mortise and tenon; the other is that "the wood is inward", that is, the beams (or strips) built on the four walls are all vertically facing with the wall panels of the coffin chamber on the same side. If you look at it from the inside, you can only see the ends of the beams on the four walls, and the name of the tutor is derived from this specific method.

This tomb form also has its pros and cons.

The advantage is: cypress contains unique resin. The wood is slow to dry, has strong corrosion resistance, and can emit a unique aroma. In addition to being good, this aroma also has a driving effect on some insects and ants and scavengers.

For example, the pangolin that Zuo Yang encountered in this cellar. Don’t doubt that although the pangolin looks harmless to humans, as a master of hole digging, it often digs into some graves and cuts open the body of the tomb owner. So it looks like this little animal suddenly becomes a little scary?

The unique smell of cypress can help it very well, which is why until now, coffins sold in coffins shops still use cypress at least at both ends of the coffin...

Of course, these are just conclusions drawn by some historians and archaeologists from historical materials and the tombs they discovered.

As far as Zuo Yang, the descendant of the Master of the Confucianism, "Huang Yan Te Tuo" is not just a simple form of tombs, but in fact it is also a very simple and practical formation that ordinary people can complete.

This formation is also called "Yellow Intestine Tisco". When it first appeared, it was not a tomb, but was created by some special people to store and hide some precious objects with special aura. Later, for some unknown reason, this formation flowed into the secular world. Because royal members had to bury a large number of rare treasures when they were buried, this formation was particularly favored by the royal family and even regarded as an exclusive tomb form.

This is another advantage of "Yellow Intestines" which can effectively prevent the special aura emitted by some rare treasures in the burial objects from leaking out, so that some people with special talents can easily find the burial place of the tomb owner through their breath, or attract the attention of such people, thus causing disasters to the tomb owner on the street.

After talking about the benefits, the disadvantages are:

The disadvantages of this tomb form are also extremely obvious. Due to the structure and material, once the cemetery unfortunately suffers fire or flood, no matter how well it is repaired, it will be completely destroyed.

In addition, the anti-theft effect of this tomb is not good. Although it is not easy to be found by people with special talents, it is inevitable that some ordinary people will encounter by chance. In addition, most of the royal tombs are built on fixed dragon veins, and the target range is much smaller. It is okay if someone guards them when the royal family is in power. Once the dynasty changes, all the tombs will not escape the fate of being looted.

It is precisely because of this that since the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao made great efforts to establish the "Golden School Captain" as a magistrate to explore the Han Dynasty's imperial tombs to subsidize military salaries, the shortcomings of the tomb form of "Huangyan Tutu" were exposed, so it was soon completely abandoned by later generations.

Now.

The "Huangyan Tuan" that Zuo Yang found in this cellar is obviously impossible to be a tomb. After all, the scale of this "Huangyan Tuan Tuan Tuan" cannot even be left with a child's body.

So, this may be just a formation used to store and hide special items.

The reason why Zuo Yang did not feel the existence of these auras at all before was naturally related to the characteristics of the "Huang Yan Te Tuo Coo" formation. These auras were completely hidden, but instead, the aliens like Black Cat Chi discovered their existence.

"The things in it are probably extraordinary..."

Thinking of this, Zuo Yang's heart unconsciously became excited again.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Zuo Yang's expression appearing again and again, Bu Ya thought Zuo Yang was caught in evil and asked with some concern.

"Oh, it's okay."

Zuo Yang came to his senses, shook his head at him with a smile, then reached out and took out all the small cypress sticks left in front of him, then raised his fingers and knocked on the cypress board.

"Dongdong!"

It was indeed empty inside, and after taking out these small cypress sticks, the board was already a little loose.

He was already completely sure that the "Huang Yan Te Tu" formation in front of him was the "Yellow Intestines" formation. Zuo Yang was sure that there would be no danger, so he no longer wasted time on it. He directly reached into the gap at the edge of the cypress board and pulled it out with force.

"Swish!"

Accompanied by the sound of wood rubbing, the cypress board was directly locked out by Zuo Yang, revealing a small rectangular space.

This space is probably slightly larger than an ordinary shoe box. When the light from the mobile phone light shines in, you can see a long strip of objects wrapped tightly in faded red linen.

It is also this time.

"Meow!"

The black cat demon hiding in the corner suddenly let out another strange cry.

"I'll go, can you not be shocked, scared me to death!"

Bu Ya was a little nervous, so he was naturally startled by the scream again and couldn't help but complain.

However, Zuo Yang heard a trace of weakness from the scream. He turned around and looked at the Black Cat Chi. Sure enough, he saw that the poor guy had his legs weak and he was curled up in the corner and was almost unable to stand up.

"Master, I...I'm very sad. Can you let me out first?"

Heimaochi said to Zuo Yang weakly, and he was a little weak when he talked nonsense.

"Go, don't go far."

Zuo Yang could see that the Black Cat Chi was not pretending, and he had already injected a wisp of life into the Black Cat Chi's body, so he was not worried that it would escape, so he waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Master."

Heimaochi hurriedly thanked him, then used all his strength to jump up the ladder, and panicked out of the cellar in a sprinting manner like an escape.

"Ahhhhhh? Brother, this cat ran away!"

Bu Ya thought the black cat monster was going to go and never return, so he started shouting.

"It's okay, it won't leave."

Zuo Yang smiled confidently, then looked at the long object wrapped in the red in "Yellow Intestines" again, carefully took it out, and weighed it in his hand.

It's a bit heavy to buy, but it shouldn't be anything like metal. Compared with metal, it's still much lighter.

Holding it on top through the red linen cloth outside, you can clearly feel that it is a square square object with four edges and a thickness of about the same as the legs of the wooden square stool I sat on when I was in school.

"Brother, what's the matter here?"

Bu Ya's attention was also attracted, and he leaned over and said with a curious look on his face.

“…”

Zuo Yang was not in a hurry to answer, calmed down and slowly uncovered the red linen outside, and finally revealed the true appearance of the thing, which was a square square wooden stick.

But the difference is that this short wooden stick seems to have been used for a long time. Just like the bracelets and walnuts that many people are playing with, there is a layer of very shiny brown patina on it, which can even reflect light under the light of the mobile phone lighting.

In addition, the four sides of this square square stick are also engraved with some very complicated mysterious symbols that even Zuo Yang cannot understand. It is so dense that this short stick looks like a pocket totem...

On the edge of the side of this short wooden stick, there is a deeper horizontal mark at every same distance, with a total of 9 marks. The short wooden stick is divided into exactly the same ten segments, which looks like the scale on the ruler?

"Is this..."

Zuo Yang quickly reached out his hand, spread his thumb and middle finger to measure the length of the short wooden stick.

One swipe, two swipe, two swipe and one inch more?

As a physiognomy master, measuring the size of some yang houses and yin houses with bare hands is the most basic ability. Without using any measurement tools, your own hands will of course become the most convenient and reliable tool.

When my grandfather was alive, he specially trained Zuo Yang in this area. Zuo Yang is a person with relatively large hands. As long as he swipes out, he will be the most standard 6 inches. No point can be more or less. Otherwise, the stick in his grandfather's hand will fall into his hands and he will never show any mercy.

The length of this short wooden stick is two swipes and one inch more than one inch, that is more than 13 inches, and then paired with 9 very average scales on the side of the short wooden stick...

"This is a magic weapon commonly used in Taoism, called the Tianpeng ruler!"

Zuo Yang stared at the short wooden stick in his hand, as if introducing it to Bu Ya, and said as if he was talking to himself, "The Tianpeng ruler is divided into two feet of Yin and Yang."

"The Yang ruler is also called Wen Gong ruler. It is one foot, four inches and six minutes long, divided into eight squares, and each square is one inch and eight minutes long, representing different meanings, namely the eight kinds of meanings of the foundation, harm, disaster, official, righteousness, freedom, disease, and wealth, and can control many affairs in the Yang realm."

"And the one in my hand is the Yin ruler. The Yin ruler is also called Ding Lan ruler. It is one foot, three inches and three minutes long and is divided into ten squares, representing the ten meanings of Ding, harm, prosperity, suffering, righteousness, official, death, prosperity, loss, and wealth, and can control many affairs in the Yin realm."

"Usually, yin and yang are inseparable from each other, but only one yin ruler is found here, which is a bit strange..."

Speaking of this, Zuo Yang's eyes were once again put on the "Yellow Intestine Title" but he did not find anything else.

"Well……"
