Chapter 162 Why are you learning this?
At this moment, Zhang Yang, who was far away in Qingzhou, had no idea that his work was causing trouble in Egypt.

It was even selected by Hawass, who is known as the "Guardian of Egyptian Cultural Relics", and sent to the Egyptian Museum for research.

Now, he was in the factory prepared for him by Li Zi, modifying the relief stone slab in front of him with a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other.

Party A has made additional requests.

It was originally agreed that the only statue needed was for tomb guardian beasts, and Li Hong would figure out the rest.

So what Zhang Yang originally wanted to make was a few pieces of Tang Sancai, plus a pair of bluestone statues with human faces and lion bodies.

But Li Zi's second brother was a bit of a scoundrel, showing his father ancient tombs from past dynasties, such as the "Horse Trampling the Huns" in front of Huo Qubing's tomb, and successfully fooled the old man on the bed, who added a temporary demand:
Not only stone statues like stone lions and winged horses are needed;
There will also be relief painted images of warriors, which will be pasted on the inner walls of the main tomb chamber.

The most infuriating thing is that they didn’t even charge any extra money, which was equivalent to forcing Zhang Yang to meet additional demands.

In order to compensate Zhang Yang, Li Zi arranged the venue and raw materials, and also hired several local stone carving masters to help Zhang Yang.

However, Zhang Yang did not feel much relieved because of this.

He now watches the firing of Tang Sancai in the porcelain workshop every morning; comes to the factory in the afternoon to instruct the stone carving masters in their work; and goes home in the evening to fire bronze burial vessels with Shen Yiyi.

In comparison, the smaller the ability of Zou Tianshi, the smaller the responsibility. He is very leisurely and even has time to chat with Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, now that you're done with your work, come and chat with me for a while? Look, I've been here for an hour, and you've been typing away non-stop."

"Wait a minute, still a little bit."

Nowadays, stone carving masters basically do not know how to do hand-relief, and they all learn to carve using machines.

This resulted in Zhang Yang having to make complete revisions to ensure that the effect was similar to what Party A wanted.

At least it doesn't look like it was stolen from the park.

"Okay, done!"

Zhang Yang took off his gloves, patted the dust off his hands, took a bottle of mineral water, and sat next to Master Zou Tianshi.

"Master, have you finished your work? Do you want to come and do some voluntary labor for me?"

"How can that be possible! I just finished writing the thirty-six rebirth talismans, and I haven't even started carving the land purchase certificate yet."

"I see. You want to borrow my people to help you carve the land purchase certificate, right?"

Zhang Yang thought he understood the old Taoist's intention, but Master Zou smiled and shook his head.

He looked at Zhang Yang in a funny way and asked:

"I came here to ask you, when will you come with me to visit the tomb?"

"I'm about to carve a land purchase certificate. You have to help me confirm where it is buried."

"You mean it? The descendant of the tomb raider?"

"So that's what it is." Zhang Yang made an OK gesture and promised, "It can be done the day after tomorrow morning. I will go to the prison tomorrow to ask the master about anti-theft."

The cemetery prepared by the Li family is a 500-acre orchard, plus a large area of ​​woodland around it.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is a rare Feng Shui treasure land.

Originally, the specific location of the tomb should be determined by Zou Tianshi, who works part-time as a Feng Shui master.

Take a compass and turn it around, and dig wherever it points.

But when the old Taoist priest arrived at the orchard, he asked a question:
"Do we need to use the river water nearby to prevent theft in the tomb?"

Zhang Yang felt that it was not necessary, because Mr. Li’s requirement was to be able to prevent theft for 500 years. After so many years, the river water might have changed its course.

But Li Zi's second brother, with the Feng Shui knowledge he had found from somewhere, said that there must be an underground river near the big river.

Generally, large ancient tombs make use of underground rivers. Haven’t you heard of the Zidu underground river in the Jingjue ancient city?

All the references were taken out, and Zhang Yang really didn't know anything about tomb robbing, so he couldn't argue with them. In addition, considering his previous promise to Mr. Li, he could only agree to come back and think about it carefully.

In fact, just ask the master for his opinion.

Now that Zou Tianshi had come to urge him, Zhang Yang made an appointment on the spot for a visit tomorrow.

"You're going to visit the prison tomorrow, right? Can you take me with you?"

The old Taoist priest asked expectantly, "I have never been to prison, so I don't know what it is like inside."

"Is it easy to go to jail? Go and cheat the elderly in the families of our city leaders, take their money, and say you can help their children get promoted and make money. Just wait and see whether the police will catch you or not."

"Wow, that's real beer."

The old Taoist priest gave a thumbs up. He was impressed by Zhang Yang's imagination, but he also knew that this was a polite rejection, so he tactfully did not say anything further.

Zhang Yang really didn't want to take the old Taoist priest with him.

Apart from the relationship with the old Taoist priest, no one is as close as Xiao Shen and Anna.

The main reason is that this topic is quite sensitive and may involve the true inheritance of the master.

……

The next morning, Zhang Yang went to Qingzhou City No. 2 Prison alone.

Feng Yao was shocked to see that Zhang Yang was the only one there.

"What happened? My dear disciple, did you fall into poverty so quickly? Did both of them run away?"

"No, Anna has returned to Germany and will be back next month. Shen Yiyi is helping me burn bronze ware."

"No, why should I explain all this to you? I came here alone, is that not okay?"

"Sure, of course." Feng Yao responded with a smile, "I'm just afraid that you'll get yourself into trouble."

"When you are young, you don't know how precious your body is. When you are old, you will only shed tears when you look at beautiful women!"

"Master, are you still feeling sentimental? You're not licking..."

"No, no, no, don't expose my shortcomings. Just tell me what you are here for today!" Feng Yao asked leisurely.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask, Master, do you know any anti-theft mechanisms for ancient tombs? Teach me."

Zhang Yang looked at Feng Yao intently.

He didn't know whether this information could be leaked out, so he gave up the idea of ​​recording it with paper and pen and decided to memorize it by heart.

Hearing his words, Feng Yao chuckled.

"Shit, if someone else had asked me that, I would have thought you were sent by the police to fish for me."

"But you asked the right person this question. I do know a lot about the mechanism."

"But before I tell you, you have to tell me first, has someone found you a job building an ancient tomb? And also asked you to make burial objects?" Feng Yao asked, staring at Zhang Yang's face.

"Yeah, otherwise it could be tomb robbery?"

"Okay, then you listen carefully."

Feng Yao nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat and said:

"The best anti-theft agency is the public security agency."

"So we can set up a camera outside the tomb and call the police if we find any problems."

"Uh..." Zhang Yang glanced at his master.

I thought, is this the change that comes from being in jail for nearly a year?
It feels a bit strange.

But this was not the answer he wanted.

"What if there's a power outage, or the camera breaks down? Or what if human civilization regresses a thousand years due to some force majeure?" Zhang Yang continued to ask.

"My goodness, who is the boss who asked you to work for him? And you still need to use the ancient method to prevent theft?"

"A rich man with time to spare."

"Okay, let's go directly to the Quicksand Tomb."

"Don't you have money? Just bring in sea sand to fill the tomb. That stuff has good liquidity, and tomb robbers will not make a sound once they dig it up."
