I know the snow is heavy late at night, and I hear the sound of broken bamboos.

——"Night Snow" Bai Juyi

...

(Today I added 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, and there is an archway in the middle, also called the "Two Gates".

The outer house is where the male host meets guests, discusses official duties, and invites guests. Women and children cannot enter and exit at will.

The "two gates" in the inner house are usually guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave, and maids in the inner house are not allowed to go out.

After passing through the "two gates", you will come from the outer house to the inner house.

The inner house is like the outer house, and it is also a square courtyard. The center of the courtyard is a two-story building, which is the inner hall under the supervision of the hostess, used to receive female family members and to take charge of housework.

The swallowing beasts at both ends of the main ridge of the inner hall are also "dragon kisses", but there are no squat beasts on the four hanging ridges. Each hanging ridge has two bowed dragons on the back to back.

The first floor of the small building has walls on all sides. The second floor has no walls. It is an empty attic with curtains as walls. It is only supported by wooden pillars, like a pavilion. Under the eaves on all sides, there are bamboo roller blinds, rolled into bunches and hung on them.

The three of them went upstairs and put down the bamboo curtains. Through the bamboo curtains, they covered the figures of the people upstairs without hindering the viewing. The pavilions and pavilions in the back garden were all in sight.

With bamboo curtains covering the sun, sitting upstairs, the three of them were just in the wind to cool off and take a nap.

...

Bai Fu asked, "I wonder how you can observe the plate and identify the location of the treasure when you are looking for dragons in the underground palace? In addition, will Lady Guo hide his wealth in the manor outside the city?"

Tu Xingsun said: "According to the 'death' technique, my elder brother can divide the metal into a certain acupoint without the cooperation of a compass and a golden needle, and accurately confirm the dragon, sand, hole, water, and direction in Feng Shui, thereby confirming the direction of the ancient tomb."

Sun Dashanren smiled and said, "I am still sure to see the tomb, but where will the living people hide the treasure? Following the map, I will also be the first to go. I can only try it. The method of touching the gold lieutenant to divide the gold and determine the acupoints may not be effective.

It is said that Lady Guo’s wealth and goods have been accumulated. I speculate that she would hide valuable items such as jewelry and jade in the mansion, and store sheep and horses in the manor. Therefore, if her treasures were not found, they would definitely be hidden in her home in Chang'an City."

Bai Fu said: "But Mrs. Guo's mansion is so big, how can you find a precise location?"

Sun Dashanren smiled and said, "The layout of the mechanism in the ancient tomb and the location of the burial tunnel can be used to calculate the details of the contour and direction of the ancient tomb palace through structures such as the ground cover and the Ming Building.

Living people hide treasures, and if they change their ideas, there are traces to follow.

Lady Guo Guo has many houses in the city, but this house covers the largest area and has a compact floor area for the outside house, making it suitable for building secret rooms for secret passages.

The back garden has a continuous terrain, hiding wind and gathering energy, which not only boosts the house, but also brings wealth, and is also a good place to hide treasures.

According to Brother Bai, the construction of the main hall ridge is not in line with the etiquette. Mrs. Guo dared to take the risk of overcoming this style, and it is very likely that the clues of the secret room were found in the main hall.

Bai Fu thought for a moment and said, "In the middle of the main hall, it is said that there was a large mountain and water screen, with jewelry inlaid and red sandalwood frames. In front of the screen was a Arhat bed. There were several tables and several tables on the bed. In front of the large bed, there were a row of small seating beds on each side, and there were also several tables on the bed.

In the corner of the main hall, various incense burners, warmers, candles, etc. are placed. The whole room is divided and decorated with tents and curtains. There is a thick layer of Xuancheng carpet on the ground.

Now, the main hall is empty. I knocked on the walls and floor tiles on all sides, all of which are solid, unlike mezzanines and dark rooms. According to the records of Sun Xiaozhe's aide, they searched the Lady of Guo State's Mansion by no less than five times and found many secret rooms and dark rooms, but they did not find the treasures piled up like mountains.

How to find the mechanism to open the dark room? Please teach me how to teach me?"

Sun Dashanren laughed and said, "The ambushing mechanisms in the ancient tombs are hidden in them. If you are not proficient in the changes in the five elements of generation and restraint, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the path.

In addition to the commonly known as the "Four Symbols and Six Gods, Eight Gate Dunjia, Nine Stars and Nine Palaces", there is a most basic method: "Hide in the crowd, hide in the dust, and open in the difference."

Bai Fu asked for advice humbly and said, "How do you say this?"

Sun Dashanren said: "In other words, the most wonderful mechanism is often hidden under the eyes of the public, so that you can see nothing unusual and feel nothing is 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, while those who don’t know are easy to be confused.

Let me ask you, according to this rule, what other corners in the main hall have you not noticed? Where do you think it is strange, but after inspecting it, you have no results?"

Bai Fu slapped his thigh and said, "The ordinary things in the main hall are unexpected. But the special things are the caisson directly above the roof!"

...

The three of them reappeared and returned to the outside house and came to the hall.

At the top of the famous hall is a Douba caisson, which gradually moves from the eight sides of Liangfang to the center with layers of brackets. The brackets arches and gold are gathered to the core, and the dragon well is protected, just like the sky. The mirror at the top of the roof paints the sun and the two dragons, symbolizing the "sky".

On the beam fang on the four sides of the ceiling of the sea trunk in the wellhead, four gate towers are built. Although the scale is small, the roof, brackets, beams and pillars, and the platform base are all complete, just like a mandala, and the pavilions are suspended in the sky palace.

This caisson is divided into two sections, the lower section is only a general bracket, and the upper section is made into a spiral shape, and the dynamic feeling of the heaven and earth turning when looking at it.

Sun Dashanren narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment and said, "The upper and lower sections of this caisson are distributed according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, secretly integrating with the astrological signs."

After saying that, he took out the compass from his arms and trained it to the same position as the upper and lower sections of the caisson. The dragon ruler shook slightly and pointed outside the house.

When the three of them left the house, they saw that the position where the dragon ruler pointed was the bracket in the southeast corner of the eaves.

The bracket is the most wonderful structure of a palace building. It can transform the beams and columns under force into zeroes and transform them into hundreds of small components. Then, these small components are combined into one large component using the relationship between vertebrae, thereby generating many nodes to resolve external forces and transfer weight.

The main hall of Lady Guo State is huge in scale, with as many as thousands of brackets!

Bai Fu looked at his scalp and said, "What should I do? Could it be that the house was demolished and spliced ​​and tested one by one?"

Sun Dashanren pointed to the brackets and explained one by one: "A group of brackets has at least four types of partitions, including 'dou', 'arch', 'ang' and 'fang'.

There are differences in size, 'gong', 'gong', 'ang', 'ang', 'false', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang

According to its position, the ‘Dou’ includes the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou’, the ‘Dou

In terms of shape, the bucket has a 'dish bucket' line. The mouth can be cut into a 'spear' and a 'piano face'. The arched head can be carved into a grasshopper, and the arched body can be carved into a curve of dragons, phoenixes, and elephants."

...

"Stop, stop!" Tu Xingsun, who had just been silent, jumped out quickly and stopped his brother from continuing to talk.

Sun Dashan Man smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I'm very interested in the manufacturing and assembly of equipment. This technique of building brackets is the soul of Central Plains architecture, and I can't help but show off! Haha."
Chapter completed!
