Chapter 1224: Thoughts
Lin Xiaohu said: "Now there are no clues on the ground, and there are no holes, the only possibility is on these three mountain walls, the wall where the iron gate is located is made of marble slabs, and the wall is also thin, which can be ignored." "www.biquge.info Long Huafeng said: "Well, everyone knows this, and then what?"
Lin Xiaohu said: "Then ...... If it were him, how would we hide the treasure in the cave wall where the stone tablet had already been inlaid with it?" Long Huafeng said: "I must take off a certain stone tablet first."
Lin Xiaohu said: "Well said, continue."
Long Huafeng thought about it again and said: "Assuming that there is a natural cave behind a certain stone stele, if I hide the treasure in it, it is definitely not that I will re-inlay the stone tablet after stuffing it in." For if I can take off the stele, so can others. Once someone else picks it off, won't they find the treasure I've worked so hard to hide?"
Lin Xiaohu praised: "Smart, just like I thought." In other words, after the abbot hid the treasure in the hole, he would use stones and other things to plug the hole and repair it to make it look like a normal cave wall. In this case, if you put the stone tablet back in, there will be no problems. Moreover, the most important thing is that in the spirit of wanting to cover it, he will also make the gap between the stone tablet and the cave wall as small as possible, so that when people hit the stone tablet, it will produce a real sound, not a hollow void sound, and no one will notice any difference. ”
Long Huafeng was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Yes, that's it, it must be like this, he must think so and do it."
Lin Xiaohu said with a smile: "So next, we don't need to pay attention to the stone tablets that are knocked into the hollow, just look for the kind of real sound." Long Huafeng jumped up from the ground and said, "Look for it immediately, speed speed!"
When the three of them struck the stele just now, there were many steles that made a hollow sound, which also made it difficult for them to continue. But now that it has been replaced by a stone monument to find the real sound, the target has immediately decreased a lot. Often, there are only one or two pieces in the mouth, and the entire cave wall is only three or four pieces. In this way, the three walls of the cave add up to only a dozen stone tablets, whether they are removed or inlaid back, they are extremely simple, even if they will be bad, they will not be damaged on this. Everyone quickly became relaxed.
This time the exploration process was still dominated by the three of them, and Lin Xiaohu used chalk to mark the stone tablet they found. When he had found them all, he counted them, and there were twelve in all.
Twelve pieces, not much, but not too little. If you look at it all, it must be extremely inefficient. But if you pick it randomly, you are afraid that it will also waste time. What to do?
Lin Xiaohu decided to use the substitution method: If I am the abbot, how should I choose in the face of these twelve places? But he soon realized that this was not possible, although from the perspective of the four people, there was a probability that these twelve places were where the treasure was hidden. But in reality, for that abbot, it was impossible for each of these twelve places to have natural caves. Perhaps there was only one place for him to hide his treasure. So the substitution method cannot be used here. So how do you deduce the only correct place to hide the treasure?
Lin Xiaohu began to recall the origin of the Leiyin Cave: in the middle of the Sui Dynasty (605-617 AD), the Venerable Jingwan lived in Zhiquan Temple in Youzhou (Hebei), in view of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty were engaged in the extermination of Buddhism, fearing that Buddhism would be annihilated in such a huge movement, he wanted to engrave all the Buddhist scriptures on the stone (not easy to destroy), so that future generations could learn after the annihilation of Buddhism

Place. Then in the first year of the Sui Dynasty (605 AD), he came to the foot of Baidai Mountain (the ancient name of Shijing Mountain), led his disciples to grind the natural stone cave, and inlaid one hundred and forty-six stone Buddhist scriptures on the four walls, this hole is the fifth cave Leiyin Cave (also known as Huayan Hall, Shijing Hall). There are also other caves such as "Prajna" and "Treasure Accumulation", which correspond to the current caves No. 1 to No. 9.
The key point here is the following sentence: "Lead the disciples to smooth the natural stone cave and inlay one hundred and forty-six stone Buddhist scriptures on the four walls."
Smoothing refers to polishing the uneven places on the wall of the cave and the ground in the cave to smooth and flatten. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the ground is flat or not, if the cave wall is uneven, the more than 100 stone tablets can't be inlaid at all, and they can't do the plane effect of going straight up and down. What does this mean? It shows that during the Sui Dynasty, this hole was already polished very smoothly, not to mention that there were no natural holes, and even if there were, it had already been filled with a quiet bowl. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost a thousand years had passed, and when the stone tablet on the wall did not fall, how did the younger brother of the head of the Zhu family, who was the abbot at that time, know that there was a natural hole behind a certain stone tablet and use it?
This is not logical at all!
But when I think about it, it doesn't have to be, but he is an abbot, who has lived near this Shijing Mountain for decades and most of his life, and may have seen the stone tablets on the wall fall. After all, none of the sources say that the stone tablet in the Leiyin Cave has not fallen, and it may have been glued again.
Maybe it was a certain time, the abbot was reading Buddhist scriptures in the Leiyin Cave, and suddenly there was a snap, and a stone tablet fell from the cave wall. But he didn't care about it at the time, but just sent someone to re-inlay the fallen stele and paste it back. It wasn't until later, when the Ming Dynasty fell, that he was asked by the head of the family to hide the family wealth, and he thought of the natural hole behind the stele in Leiyin Cave: the hole is natural, the mouth is small, but the inside is very large, can hold a lot of jewelry, and after hiding, the outside can be covered with the stele for cover. What a treasure spot! So, he borrowed his identity as a monk and led his close disciples (and may even be modified by heartfelt servants), took advantage of the chaos to drive out of the capital, and hurried all the way back to Shijing Mountain, hiding all the treasures in that hole...... After that, the head of the family surnamed Zhu waved his pen and drew the Lei Yin Cave on the scroll...... This...... Wait, Lin Xiaohu suddenly thought that he had thought of so much, but it didn't seem to solve the problem. Which of the twelve pieces is the entrance to the treasure cave?
Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "Let's use the elimination method." Long Hua Fengqi said: "How to rule it out?" Lin Xiaohu pointed to the four pieces at the top and said, "Those four pieces are too high, first exclude them." Long Huafeng asked: "Why is it too high to exclude?"
Lin Xiaohu said: "It's too high to put things inconvenient." Long Huafeng said: "You can throw it in, it's all gold and silver jewelry anyway, and you don't need to place it neatly."
Lin Xiaohu was stunned, yes, what he said made sense, it seems that it is really not possible to rule it out like this, sighed, and said: "Then I have no choice but to dismantle the stone tablet." For the sake of efficiency, let's work in a team. Long Huafeng smiled and said, "I'm in a group with Sister Huo."
Huo Xiang didn't say anything.
Lin Xiaohu smiled: "Then I'll be in a group with Brother Li." First left and right, then interior walls. Let's get started. ”
While talking, the four of them took out the prepared expedition camping tools, including knives, hammers, hooks, tongs, cones, and sapper shovels, and after picking out the handy tools, they aimed at the marked stone monument and began to dismantle it

Still.
First, insert a word change cone into the gap between the steles, and if you can't insert it, you will use a hammer to smash it in, and then use the lever principle to gently part, and the stele will move. The left and right gaps moved back and forth, and the stele slowly sled out. It didn't take much effort during this period.
Lin Xiaohu and Li Bing quickly took off a piece and began to carefully inspect the real cave wall behind the stele. After a while, Long Huafeng and Huo Xiang also picked off a piece, carefully put it at their feet and leaned against the wall, observing the rocks on the cave wall.
In this way, Lin Xiaohu and the others checked the cave walls behind the eight stone tablets in a row, but they found nothing. Seeing that all the stone tablets with marks on the cave walls had been checked, and Long Huafeng and Huo Xiang were also looking at the last inscription near the corner of the two stone walls, Lin Xiaohu was a little disheartened. Isn't the treasure hidden in the Thundersound Cave? Or has it been dug up? But even if it is dug up, there should be a hole, why is there not even half of the hole? Could it be that the treasure should be placed on the inner wall?
"Yikes!" Long Huafeng suddenly exclaimed.
Lin Xiaohu and Li Bing were both taken aback, and it happened that they were okay here, so they hurriedly stepped over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Surprised? Be quiet. ”
Long Huafeng pointed to the mountain wall and said excitedly: "This ...... There is a ...... for this There was ......"
Lin Xiaohu said curiously: "What's there?" Leaning over to look, Huo Xiang turned sideways and pulled him closer.
Under the illumination of three strong flashlights, the mountain wall was reflective, and Lin Xiaohu could hardly see anything in his eyes. It was easy to adapt to the light, but I heard Long Huafeng shouting, "Did you see it...... Xiaohu, did you see that? Here...... Look here, ......,
Lin Xiaohu stared at it, and in the direction of Longhuafeng's finger, there was a strip of mountain stones, with uneven surfaces and many edges and corners, which appeared horizontally on the mountain wall. Compared to the smoother mountain walls in other places, the appearance of this strange mountain rock here is really very abrupt.
Lin Xiaohu subconsciously shouted: "There is a problem!" Long Huafeng also said: "Yes, other places have been smoothed, and this stone stands out." But Lin Xiaohu looked at it, frowned, and said: "But this doesn't explain the problem, maybe because it's in the corner between the two mountain walls, it's not easy to grind." You see, this rock seems to have grown out of the mountain, so it's natural. Long Huafeng shook his head and said, "No, it's still a foot away from the angle." Wait, I'll take down the fast stone tablet next to me. ”
Hearing this, Li Bing went over with him and took off the stone tablet on the left. Both of these steles are located on the first floor, and everyone is taller than it even if they are squatting. After the two steles were removed, the horizontal rock was completely exposed, and the stone quality was exactly the same as the cave walls in other places, and the growth was also natural. The only oddity is that it doesn't seem to have been polished too much.
Long Huafeng suddenly raised his foot and kicked it, with a lot of strength, and made a muffled sound. The mountain rock was motionless, and under the illumination of the flashlight, the rock ash powder drifted endlessly.
"No problem?" Long Huafeng said suspiciously, his tone slightly lost.
Li Bing said: "I'll kick it." As he spoke, he stepped forward.
His strength is much greater than that of Long Huafeng, if he kicks it up and this mountain rock doesn't react, he will be completely disappointed.
A muffled "thump" sounded, followed by a soft sound of Kala.
