Chapter 13: The Secret Forest
In the dense primeval forest of the Qinling Mountains, a team of six people is slowly walking through thorns and thorns. www.biquge.info This team was formed by Chu Bingyan to find the place of the seal, in addition to Chu Bingyan and Feng Han, there are also two archaeologists, a woman from the Ministry of Security and a driver.
Although it was daylight, the forest was still very dark, and the towering trees blocked most of the sunlight, and only the sparse daylight cast by the branches and leaves left dappled light and shadows on the ground, and the unknown insect chirp made the atmosphere look solemn and eerie.
"Miss Chu, can you tell us exactly what we are looking for? We have been in this ghost forest for three days, and now the compass and compass have failed one after another, and I suspect that we have lost our way. One of the archaeologists, Mo Yuan, said. He is just over 40 this year, and he spent the first half of his life as a tomb robber who made a fortune from the dead, and later lost a finger when stealing an ancient tomb, and then he found out that he specialized in archaeology and contributed what he had learned to the country.
"Does Professor Mo think that our archaeological team's actions are too secretive, not like archaeology, but like tomb robbers?" Chu Bingyan asked rhetorically.
"Don't dare, as Miss Chu, she would never engage in this kind of trail, and as far as feng shui is concerned, the ancients would never build a cemetery in such a place where the compass fails, which is a big culprit. However, I am indeed a little strange, Miss Chu's whereabouts this trip are secretive, and she came to this barren land, which is really not like any archaeological operation I have participated in over the years. Mo Yuan said.
"Professor Yang, can you still hold on?" Chu Bingyan turned to another archaeologist, Yang Mingyang, and asked. Please Baidu black-rock + pavilion is our greatest support, thank you!
Different from Mo Yuan's halfway monk, Yang Mingyang is an authentic professional background, especially in the field of ancient writing, and is one of the top experts in the field of oracle bone inscriptions in China. Hearing Chu Bingyan ask herself, Yang Mingyang, who was nearly half a hundred years old, replied: "I can still hold on to this old bone, but if I stay in this forest for a few more days, it will be difficult to say, after all, it is not as good as you young people." ”
Chu Bingyan nodded and said, "Then everyone will rest here first, and then we will study it carefully." ”
Hearing Chu Bingyan say to rest, Yao Qingpei, the woman from the Ministry of Security, and Huang Ge, the driver, hurriedly took out a multi-functional blanket and spread it on the ground, and everyone in the team found a place to sit down.
Chu Bingyan took out her laptop, called up a series of photos of the stone wall, and said: "Based on the above words, we deduced that it should be in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, Emperor Yao once held a sealing ceremony to cure floods, and invested a lot of treasures to realize the seal. ”
"I have carefully studied these photos with Professor Yang, and their authenticity is not verifiable. Miss Chu, you should know that the ancients have always deified the rituals, in the past, Qin Shi Huang Feng Zen Mount Tai is said to be to emulate the ancient Holy Emperor, and Confucius, who has been 'self-denial and revenge' all his life, has climbed Mount Tai many times to find the relics of the great gift of Feng Chan, so that when he taught his disciples the six arts, he was embarrassed to say, 'It is difficult to speak'. Even Confucius, who was quite close to the ancient times, could not find the remains of Feng Zen, which shows that the ancients were not sure about the ceremony. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is really a festival for Emperor Yao to seal the flood, how many of these records on the stone wall are accurate?" Mo Yuan said.
"In fact, the main thing is that the words on these stone walls are incomplete, and all we can infer is that there seems to be such a thing, but we don't know the cause and effect of this event, the specific place, the person, and the process. We know that the original flood was finally cured in the era of Dayu, and Emperor Yao may have only held a festival to pray for God's blessing for the flood, and it is difficult to say that such a festival really has anything of value left in the world. Yang Mingyang explained.
"Both professors have a point, but I can say for sure that there is such a festival, and it is of a very high standard. Unfortunately, in the Americas, I couldn't capture the entire description of the rock wall. Chu Bingyan couldn't really explain the two of them, and to find the place of sealing, she had to rely on their expertise, but the truth of the facts couldn't be appealed to the world.
After a month of special training, he became much darker and stronger, and his whole mental outlook has changed significantly. He quietly touched the pendant around his neck and didn't speak, Chu Bingyan had already greeted him before he came, and he must not reveal anything about his pendant.
The other two people in the team never interjected in this kind of conversation, Yao Qingpei of the Ministry of Security had the same duties in the team as the overseers in the army in ancient times, and the driver Huang Ge was more to protect Chu Bingyan's safety.
"Miss Chu, I don't think it is tenable to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to find such a thing that may have happened in the rigorous field of archaeology. Aside from the unknown stone wall you provided, there is no known historical record of the festival as to describe it. Although the site of this festival will bring about a major change in our understanding of ancient culture and even our understanding of history, this is just an idealism. Mo Yuan felt that this eldest lady was taking things for granted.
"I said, it's a real festival. Chu Bingyan did not back down from her words.
"Okay, okay, since Miss Chu insists and the above agrees with this action, let's look for it again. Yang Mingyang started a round.
"Then we'll look for another three days, and if there are no valuable clues within three days, I'll withdraw from the operation. "Mo Yuan gave an ultimatum.
"Actually, I think we are not far from the ruins, many thaumaturgy recorded in ancient times seem unbelievable to today's people, but we can't deny the wisdom of the ancients, such as the formation derived from the Hetuluo Book and so on. Professor Mo is an expert in this area, and it depends on your judgment. Chu Bingyan's tone slowed down.
"Miss Chu means that our compass is out of order because the ancients may have laid some kind of formation here?" Mo Yuan felt a little funny, could this eldest lady have seen too many mysterious stories, and according to what she said, how can any formation survive for thousands of years.
"It's not out of the question. Chu Bingyan nodded cautiously.
"Okay, then I'll follow Qimen Dunjia to find out if Miss Chu's so-called formation exists. Mo Yuan laughed angrily.
"If there is really a formation, it must be related to the innate gossip. Chu Bingyan pretended not to hear Mo Yuan's angry words and reminded her.
Mo Yuan stood up, shook his head helplessly, first began to pinch his fingers to calculate the direction, and then arranged the markers for positioning according to a certain rule. As he set up, he began to move, and everyone got up to clean up behind him.
After about half an hour, Mo Yuan, who had been walking, suddenly stopped, frowned and said, "This place is a bit strange. ”
"Old Mo, what's wrong?" Yang Mingyang asked.
"The location is wrong, it is said that I guessed that we were going to the Shengmen along the Middle Palace, but now I find that we seem to have come to the Surprise Gate. Mo Yuan replied.
"Is it dangerous?" Yang Mingyang asked again.
"It's okay, I'll calculate it carefully, maybe what Miss Chu said has some truth. Mo Yuan waved his hand, although he was sometimes very angry, he never had a hard mouth in front of the facts.
This time, Mo Yuan drew and drew on the ground, pondered and meditated for nearly an hour before he took a long breath and stood up.
"Do you have eyebrows?" This time it was Chu Bingyan who asked anxiously, she had invested too much in the search for the sealed place, and now she was most afraid of hearing disappointing news.
Mo Yuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to say, this place is either the best formation formed by nature, or the superimposed suspicious formation laid by a real master." The whole terrain is linked one by one, with the help of dense forests, fog, light, water potential, and wind direction, people are deeply immersed in it and cannot be noticed, if it were not for my calculation this time, it is estimated that we will get lost here. And the most powerful part of this formation is that when you walk back to the place you have been, you will see a completely different picture due to different angles, so that you can't even realize that you are walking in an endless loop. ”
"Old Mo, just say whether you are sure to find a way out. Yang Mingyang listened anxiously.
"Honestly, less than five points. Mo Yuan sighed.
"Less than five points?" Yang Mingyang gasped, he knew that Mo Yuan was one of the few experts in this field in China, and he had never heard him say that he was less than five points in the study of Yixue Qimen Dunjia.
"It's already quite a lot, let's try our best, and if we can't find a way out in three days, I'll find a way to call for help. Chu Bingyan understood that she might really be in the right place, and if she really couldn't break this formation, she didn't mind using crowd tactics to achieve her goal.
Two days later, just when everyone was in despair, the team walked through a thorn forest and along a stream to a strange place.
It is strange because at the end of the stream, there is a deep valley under the shade of trees, and the plants in the valley are quite different from those outside the valley, and the wind direction at the mouth of the valley is not the same as outside. When they turned the stream and found this deep valley, they all had the feeling that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.
Looking at Taniguchi, Mo Yuan sighed with emotion: "It's really a fluke that we found here." ”
"How do you say it?" Although Yang Mingyang's body was almost unable to withstand the pain of running around in the primeval deep forest, his mood at the moment was no less than overcoming a scientific problem.
"You see how the traces of these rocks differ from the rocks over there. Mo Yuan pointed to the stone in front of him, and then pointed behind him.
"Well, it seems that there are some different shades of color. ”
"Yes, if I am not mistaken, it is because of the frequent earthquakes that have occurred for thousands of years that have caused the rocks here to crack or displace, and this has caused a slight difference in the color of the two stones. In other words, if we had come here a thousand years ago and all we saw were mountains, rocks and trees, who would have thought that there would be such a canyon hidden behind the rocks and trees, and we would probably not be able to enter through its gate at that time. If this place is really arranged in this way, I can only say that the magic of nature is beyond the reach of man. Mo Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Chu Bingyan and Feng Han glanced at each other, the joy in their eyes was obvious, and after listening to Mo Yuan's words, it was very likely that the sealing place they were looking for was really hidden here.
"Let's get in quickly. Chu Bingyan greeted and took the lead in moving forward.
Everyone walked slowly behind Chu Bingyan, the valley was full of strange flowers and plants, the mountain spring was clear, and the bees and butterflies were dancing. As Mo Yuan walked, he sighed again and again: "Feng Shui Treasure Land, the real Feng Shui Treasure Land." ”
After the group had walked for a while, two huge stone pillars appeared in front of them, and something was faintly carved on the pillars.
Seeing this situation, Yang Mingyang couldn't help but rush forward and casually brushed away the moss and other things on the stone pillar, and under the moss, the handwriting was visible. Yang Mingyang immediately took out a magnifying glass from his bag, and carefully studied it according to the words on the stone pillar. ”
"Your Majesty?" Mo Yuan, who heard Yang Mingyang's words, exclaimed.
Yang Mingyang, who was dedicated to research, didn't feel anything, he didn't look back, and responded: "The word is too eroded by the wind and rain, look at this oblique fold, what you said is also possible." ”
Feng Han couldn't help but say to Chu Bingyan: "How can I hear these words and be a little familiar. ”
"The void of Kunlun in the sea, in the northwest, the capital of the emperor. Chu Bingyan couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes and reminded.
Hearing Chu Bingyan's words, Yang Mingyang's body was shocked, and he couldn't care about continuing his research, he took two steps back, turned his head and said to Chu Bingyan in disbelief: "Could it be that this is the legendary Kunlun?"
