They were exploring the legendary sword mound, and they had already seen Zhengang before the collection office, indicating that this sword mound was likely to have been in a long time ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But even so, the three of them were more careful, because the passage they found seemed to be not the passage that the previous people had entered, and it was something else that they should have taken.

Moreover, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if. What if, this isn't a sword shrine, but somewhere else?

The distance between the two people who entered was about two meters, which not only took care of each other, but also facilitated the convenience of retreat.

As a result, the tunnel was crooked, but not long, and after two or three turns, a tall and wide passage soon appeared, and it was possible to walk upright.

"According to their description, after passing through the passage, they entered an octagonal burial chamber, and no mechanism was found, but there were many white bones on the ground, and many of them were broken, as if they had been cut off by a sharp weapon." Jiang Yingnian introduced.

In the center of the octagonal burial chamber is an octagonal bluestone coffin. Originally, it seemed to be hanging from the stone wall of the tomb with bronze chains, but when the exploration team entered, the coffin was already on the ground, and all the bronze chains were broken.

This octagonal coffin is actually a set of coffins. The large coffin on the outside is a coffin, made of bluestone, and the small coffin on the inside is a coffin, made of bronze. Whether it is a coffin or a coffin, there is no lid, it should be hanging in the air as it was.

The reason why there is no lid is not only because the investigation team did not find the lid, but also because judging from the structure of the coffin, there was no lid in the first place.

Moreover, above the tomb, there is a group of figures, which are Fuxi gossip symbols. It is expected that these eight swords should be placed corresponding to the Bagua symbol. In the octagonal bronze coffin, there are eight sword slots.

After discovering this, the members of the exploration team who were proficient in the art of Xuanmen realized that in fact, the eight swords, the gossip symbols, the octagonal bluestone coffin and the bronze coffin formed a formation. This tomb seems to be easy to enter, but it is extremely difficult to retrieve these eight bronze swords! The accumulation of white bones in the tomb also illustrates this point, after the formation is activated, the eight swords give birth to the eight directions sword qi, but the sword qi in the tomb must be vertical and horizontal, and there is no way to avoid it.

The origin of Fuxi's gossip is that Fuxi "is on the square altar, listening to the eight winds, and painting gossip". Eight groups of symbols, with "―" for yang and "--" for yin. Divide Qian, Kun, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Xun, Li, and Dui.

The tortoise shell that Tang Yi first came into contact with had gossip on it, which also made Tang Yi not understand the art of Xuanmen, but the most studied knowledge in this area in his free time was gossip.

According to Jiang Yingnian's account, there should be a certain correspondence between this gossip and the eight swords, and the arrangement in the sword mound is like this, and Gou Jian's original supervision of the eight swords should also be used as an opportunity.

However, from the perspective of gossip, dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, Kan is water, Gen is the mountain, Xun is the wind, Li is the fire, and the exchange is Ze; However, the characteristics of these eight swords are not easy to summarize. Don't talk about Tang Yi, it's Wen Jia, and I can't figure out how to correspond for a while. It is expected that this correspondence is certainly not a simple and direct correspondence, nor is it necessarily one-to-one.

After thinking about it roughly, Tang Yi and Wen Jia didn't continue to think about it. After Jiang Yingnian paused, he spoke again.

The place was discovered, and after a brief investigation, the team members withdrew.

Later, the collection office redeployed personnel to conduct a comprehensive study of the sword mound.

Judging from the age of the bones, it can basically be determined that it should be the tomb that entered in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the passage into the tomb is not the passage found by the exploration team. And the passage discovered by the exploration team was the original passage, that is, the passage in and out of the sword shrine. The mountain wall excavated by the exploration team was originally a stone gate, which was irregular and very close to the mountain wall, and the outside was refilled and covered with sand and gravel soil. However, the stone wall was later revealed.

In the Ming Dynasty, someone entered the tomb and opened up two passages, one was to dig into the belly of the mountain from the underground outside the mountain and dig the entrance upward; One is to dig into the upper part of the tomb from the mountain and open the entrance downward. In both passages, the exploration team can see the entrance to the tomb.

And the original passage was not destroyed, which means that they didn't take this passage when they left, presumably because they were frightened by this gossip sword array, afraid that there were still mechanisms in the passage.

The bones in the tomb are all from the Ming Dynasty, and they are relatively consistent. This shows that the sword mound was built at that time, and no one was buried with it. At the same time, the collection office did not find any organs later; In other words, the only mechanism is the Bagua Sword Formation.

This gossip sword array, the people who stole and dug the sword mound in the Ming Dynasty, must have not cracked it at the beginning. After entering the tomb, the sword array was activated, and because of the effect of the invisible sword qi, many people died.

As for how the sword formation was broken later, this is no longer clear. However, in the tomb, the collection office also found some clues, including fragments of monks' robes and fire fragments of wooden talismans.

There are fragments of monks' robes, indicating that people from the Buddhist sect were invited to crack the sword array at the beginning, but they failed, and I don't know how many people there are in this Buddhist sect, because it is impossible to tell from the white bones whether it is a monk or an ordinary person, but since the sword qi has cut through the monk's robe, it is very likely that there will be casualties.

The fire fragments of the wooden talisman, which shows that later I invited the people in the Daomen, this formation should be broken by the people in the Daomen, but only according to the incomplete fragments of the wooden talismans, it is not possible to judge who the people in the Daomen of the Ming Dynasty who broke the formation.

Since the sword formation was broken, it was that the eight swords were taken away at that time. As for the later dispersion, it shows that not all the people who got the eight swords remained.

"This, it's a bit close to Tang Yi's previous analysis." After listening to Jiang Yingnian's narration, Wen Jia said, "Inferring from the age, it is very likely that Xu pirates dug up the sword mound, but only the broken water and the startled salamander were left, and the others were sold or sent, so they were shot." ”

Tang Yi then introduced the process of getting the two swords, and then analyzed: "Xu Hai has been in Zhejiang Province for a long time, and it is not surprising that he can find the sword mound. And he later became a professional pirate, and the broken water and the startled salamander were the most useful, and it is quite possible to keep only two. He used to be a monk, and it made sense to find someone from the Buddhist sect to crack the sword formation at the beginning. It's just that he couldn't crack it, and later found someone in the Daomen. ”

Jiang Yingnian nodded, "So, the two swords you brought are very helpful in explaining who stole this sword mound." ”

"If it's really Xu Hai, it further shows that he is indecisive." Wen Jia smiled, "How could a real Buddhist master help him steal something?" Presumably, they were looking for some wild monks who didn't know where, but not only could they not break the sword formation, but they lost their lives! ”
