Chapter 16 The Two Joys of Gossip
Zhao Shucheng and the others escaped from the pursuit of the black and black man, but Ma Dadan and the others were not so lucky.
After all, they entered the cave after following Zhao Shucheng and the others. In the gathering place where people were covered in black and thorny, they fell into chaos because of the attacks of spiders.
The way I came was blocked by the spiders, and the caves of all sizes made them unable to tell where the exit was when fighting with the spiders, and they were in danger for a moment.
Although the third brother took the bomb he made himself, facing hundreds of spiders, he didn't know which one he should blow first.
Although Ma Dadan has a gun in his hand, facing so many spiders, he can only be a drop in the bucket. In other words, because the people who are traveling with them lack flashlights, they use torches to illuminate them. When they waved, they saw the spider retreating, and then they got together and were not instantly swallowed by the spider.
But if they cannot find a way out, they will be trapped for a long time and will sooner or later become a spider's supper.
Zhao Shucheng and the others didn't know that Ma Dadan and others were in trouble later, and this was even something that Zhao Shucheng was happy to see. After all, Ma Dadan and others had been rude for a long time, but no news had been heard, which shows what the antique merchants who came here before ended up.
Zhao Shucheng knew that there were piranhas in the cave under Ma Dadan's coffin, and those people had been eaten up.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng didn't think that Ma Dabang and others could catch up with them. After all, the cave was complicated and it would be difficult to get out if it weren't for people who were familiar with the terrain and who could distinguish the directions and running around in the cave.
When Zhao Shucheng and the others were moving forward, they could hear gunfire and screams from time to time. It was obvious that there must be a miserable situation behind them. And they also encountered many corpses hanging in caves along the way, one by one, like mummies.
Zhao Shucheng and the others saw things scattered on the ground. Based on the diary and work permit, they found that this was the members of the expedition team that had fallen into the cave.
They have their own guess that there should be uranium ore here, because uranium ore will naturally undergo nuclear reactions and emit nuclear radiation, which makes the spider so big.
However, several people didn't have time to study why the black hair became bigger and how to solve their problems, and continue to move forward.
More than ten minutes later, the group finally left the hunting range with black faces and wild thorns, and no longer saw the existence of spider silk. This is a narrow and deep tomb passage, and there are several statues at the end of the tomb passage.
Shirley Yang said: "There is a human-faced statue..."
"Human-faced statues are extremely rare, but they were popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Look, they also had cloud and thunder patterns on their ears, which is unique to the Western Zhou Dynasty. Along the way, we also found that the tomb passage was made of whole stone."
"But since the Han Dynasty, most of the tomb passages have been made of burnt bricks, and most of the entire stones were before the Qin Dynasty. From this we can see that this is indeed a tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it has little to do with Li Chunfeng."
Shirley Yang expressed her guess, then looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Did you guess wrong?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Ms. Yang is right. This is indeed a tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty. But Miss Yang, have you ever thought about a situation where you occupy the magpie's nest? It is not impossible for Li Chunfeng to find this place in order to hide it and then occupy the magpie's nest, right? Besides, if this is the case, the person who is looking for his tomb may turn around and leave after seeing it as the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and instead let himself not be disturbed?"
The group followed Zhao Shucheng's footsteps and came to a wall. There was a door hole on the wall, but for some reason, there was a wall inside the door hole, which seemed to be deliberately blocking it and not letting people enter.
"Master Zhao, there is no way here? Are we going wrong? Or is there any mechanism here? You need to open the mechanism before you can get in?" Hu Bayi said and looked around with a flashlight.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Old Hu, don't look for it anymore. There is no mechanism here. But we can't get in now, so we need to wait for a while."
The fat man said strangely: "No, Mr. Zhao, what are you asking us to wait here? Can you say something we can understand?"
Zhao Shucheng said: 'Ghost Tomb, have you heard of it?'
Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this and said, "Do you think this is a ghost tomb? Will Li Chunfeng's tomb and the Western Zhou tomb appear alternately?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, this is the ghost tomb. It was originally a tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Li Chunfeng built his own tomb on this basis. Because this is a feng shui bureau, the internal springs have enough water to push the tomb chamber to move, showing the alternation of the tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty and Li Chunfeng's tomb. Therefore, the entire cave will undergo certain terrain changes, which is why tomb robbers cannot afford to come in."
Hu Bayi nodded immediately, understanding why the Jin Abacus, who was so powerful, could not get out of the cave. It must have been that the terrain of the cave changed when he came in. He did not guess that this was a ghost tomb, so he was trapped here to death.
Half an hour later, the group watched helplessly as the wall inside the stone door moved away little by little, revealing a tomb chamber.
Zhao Shucheng looked at the time on his watch and said, "This place should be the Palace of the Underworld. We waited here for nearly half an hour. The door appeared, but this door was not big, so it would close in more than ten minutes and turn it into a wall again. Everyone should go in quickly."
Hu Bayi guessed: "Whose tomb is this? Li Chunfeng or..."
Zhao Shucheng said: "It's useless to think so much now, just go in and take a look. Besides, even if it's not Li Chunfeng's tomb, we have to go in to know. Let's go!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After entering the Underworld Hall, the group found that the coffin was not placed in the center, but a huge armillary sphere.
"Army celestial sphere? Isn't this right? Shouldn't there be a coffin inside the tomb?" Wang Kaixuan asked, looking around.
Yang Xueli nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao, you should guess correctly. This place may be Li Chunfeng's tomb. This armillary sphere is not something that could be discovered during the Western Zhou Dynasty. The earliest records said that it was invented during the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty made improvements."
"However, according to records, in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng improved and invented a new generation of armillary spheres, which might be the case."
Zhao Shucheng ignored Yang Xueli and Hu Bayi, and shone the murals around the Palace with a flashlight. He looked at them one by one. He soon stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground, as if he wanted to meditate and practice.
Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others were a little curious and asked, "Master Zhao, didn't you say we only had more than ten minutes, why did you sit down?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "I need to understand the things on the murals, you can do it at your own discretion!"
Big Jinya noticed Zhao Shucheng's actions just now and said, "This is the Tuibei picture?"
"Not bad! Push the picture."
The fat man had heard Zhao Shucheng mention the picture of Tuibei before. He regretted that he had never seen the original one, but he didn't expect to see it here.
But Dajinya soon discovered something wrong. There are 64 Tuibei pictures in total, and there are only 60 Tuibei pictures circulating now. I think this should be the complete version of Tuibei pictures.
Hu Bayi and the others did not disturb Zhao Shucheng, but instead looked for clues in the tomb, hoping to find any mechanism.
These sixty-four Tuibei pictures appeared in Zhao Shucheng's mind. After rearranging and combining, he had his own understanding. This was based on Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, so it was not only a prophecy, but also a understanding of the Bagua of Zhouyi and a unique arrangement and combination.
When everyone sees the Tuibei picture, they will give their own unique solutions based on the picture and their own understanding. For example, some people will think that they are going to marry their mother and give birth to a bunch of babies.
However, Zhao Shucheng quickly stood up and did not continue to comprehend the Tuibei Picture. After all, this cannot be fully understood overnight. Just write it down now and explore it slowly in the future.
After searching for a while, the others found no useful clues. Although Shirley Yang saw the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book on a mural, it was just a portrait. While worried, the fat man came to a statue with a humble hand, looked at the brush in the statue's hand, and picked it up curiously.
"Old Hu, this pen can be picked up, and it is quite heavy, it should be iron!"
After seeing this, Hu Bayi said nervously: "Fatty, don't move, who made you move around? I didn't tell you, don't move around the things inside."
At this moment, I heard the sound of mechanism turning from the tomb. Following the entrance where they had entered before, a huge rock of thousands of kilograms blocked the door. It seemed that the group could not get out at all.
Seeing that the exit was gone, Dajinya immediately collapsed on the ground and said, "Fatty, now, the only exit is gone."
"What's the matter? We can't wait half an hour to get out?" The fat man said indifferently.
"Pang Ye, that is the original mechanism of the ancient tomb, but this is not the original wall, but a thousand-pound dragon-breaking stone. Unless it is used to use explosives, even if the wall is opened in half an hour, the dragon-breaking stone will still exist, and we can't get out." Da Jinya shook her head helplessly and said.
Hu Bayi also looked at everyone apologetically and said, "Let's think of a solution again, there must be other ways out."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Old Hu is right, Fatty is wrong, right? Everyone has seen the situation in the Underworld Hall, just this tomb, so unless the mechanism is opened, nothing will be found."
As he said that, he saw the statue on the other side. Suddenly the statue retreated and a hole appeared, which seemed to indicate the direction for everyone to move forward next.
Hu Bayi frowned and said, "Master Zhao, don't you think it's too easy for all this to come?"
"There are so many murals in this Nether Hall, and only the pen on the mural that the fat man touches is real, and it is exactly where the mechanism is. You must know that Li Chunfeng is a Feng Shui master. Will he let others find their own tomb so easily?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No matter whether it is, you can tell if you go and take a look. Sometimes don't think too deep, return to the essence and simplify the complex is the easiest and fastest way."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng came directly to the door and looked inside the tomb, and saw a huge coffin located in the center of the tomb.
The fat man also saw the coffin in the tomb and was excited to walk in, but was grabbed by Zhao Shucheng.
"No, Mr. Zhao, you have seen the coffin, what are we waiting for?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fatty, I'll ask you, are there many burial objects in the tomb of this noble official?"
"Then you have to ask, of course there are too many. If you don't talk about anything else, there will definitely be porcelain, pottery, gold, silver and jade." The fat man said excitedly.
Zhao Shucheng stopped Wang Kaixuan, who was still trying to enter, and said, "Okay, you can return the pen and don't need to go in this room anymore. It's fake at first glance."
"Why is it fake again? Didn't you say that it's simplified? Am I wrong?"
"Simplifying the complex into simplification is not what you mentioned before, but the clue given by this is the real simplification of the complex into simplification. There is only a coffin here, and there is nothing else. Do you think Li Chunfeng would be so simple? Anyway, he is a fifth-rank official, but he, an official of the fifth-rank, is really a bit extravagant with such a luxurious layout. He can't get to his real palace and is reluctant to put things, right?"
Zhao Shucheng said as he looked at the coffin inside the tomb, chuckled, and looked directly at the armillary sphere that had not been carefully looked at before.
Several other people followed Zhao Shucheng's gaze and looked at the armillary sphere and said, "Are you talking about the armillary sphere?"
"Yes, who is Li Chunfeng? A famous Feng Shui master, and Miss Yang also said that he has a historical record of improving the armillary sphere. So the real mechanism is naturally on the armillary sphere."
After hearing this, Hu Bayi followed him to the edge of the armillary sphere, looked at it and said, "Don't say, this is the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and it looks like a password system."
Fatty Wang asked curiously: "What is the password? How can we guess?"
Hu Bayi said: "Li Chunfeng was from the Tang Dynasty, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches should represent the year."
Shirley Yang said: "In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng transformed the armillary sphere in the seventh year of Zhenguan."
Hu Bayi was about to take action when he suddenly thought of something and said, "No, it should be the 22nd year of Zhenguan. When Li Chunfeng was named the Grand Tu, it should be the most glorious time in his life, and it was also the same year for Tuibeitu?" He said that, looking at Zhao Shucheng on the side.
