Chapter 480: Three-legged Golden Crow

"Yin Yin, you don't really want to kowtow, what is wrong with the elders of your Kui clan, it is too hasty to make people kneel and kowtow at every turn. It's been so long, I'm afraid there's nothing wrong with it, you think you better not take it seriously. Dazhe said.

"Hundred virtues and filial piety come first, since there are ancestors here who left ghost texts, how can they be perfunctory." After speaking, I fell to my knees with a thud and solemnly kowtowed three times to the wall with ghost texts.

"Okay Yinyin, hurry up, you make us all want to kowtow like this, and then kowtow this too, did the ancestors of your family tell you how we want to go? Could it be that this tomb is like this? That's it? Dazhe asked.

"Yes." I say.

"What? Did your ancestors manifest themselves? Dazhe was startled, and began to talk nonsense again, "The ancestor of the Kui clan, the younger generation has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it's really sorry, I'm sorry, the adults don't care about the villain, don't count the villain." ”

"The ancestors did not manifest, but the words of the ancestors appeared, and there are ghost inscriptions on the ground here." I say.

"Is there any way to enter the tomb?" Yun Ximing also asked anxiously.

"There is only one word written on the ground, turn." I say.

"Turn? Turn? Turn? Turn? Dazhe read it in all four tones, "Yin Yin, what does this mean, could it be that we are going around this central stone tomb?" Or else... Spin it up? Dazhe asked.

"I don't think it's about turning us, it's about turning us... This one. "I pointed to the wall of the central stone tomb.

"This? It's made of stone. How do you move, this thing has eight sides, let alone turning, we can't hold it. Yun Xian said.

"If you don't try, you will know if you can't do it, people who come here will definitely try their best to find the entrance, but ignore the outer wall itself, the mechanism is mysterious, maybe these eight sides of the outer wall were originally a huge mechanism." Yun Ximing said.

"So what are you waiting for, come on. Try it first. Uncle Lu said and put his hand on the wall. He used all his strength, and before everyone could come up to help, he pushed it up alone. Who ever thought, no one helped. Uncle Lu alone. It actually turned the huge façade. Everyone was amazed. The sound of a huge mechanism running can be heard from the chamber of the ancient tomb. Uncle Lu pushed the outer wall and turned it around before stopping. But the sound of the mechanism didn't stop, and something seemed to be awakened beneath the ground. The outer wall actually began to move outward, opening in eight different directions, revealing an entrance inside, a staircase that led to the underground.

"Oh my God, this thing is hollow this year, and it can still be opened, it's amazing." Dazhe said.

"It's not just magical." Yun Ximing said, "These eight exterior walls are connected to each other and enclosed together, but such a large wall is so tightly combined, and the enclosed outer walls do not let us see that they can be separated, and we can't find any flaws." Looking at the ground, the wall moves outward, and it is necessary to follow the track, but there is nothing to see on the ground, and there is no trace at all, which shows the subtlety of the designer's design. ”

"The young master of the Yun family is an expert in the field of organs, and if you say so, it can be seen that this organ is really extraordinary." Uncle Lu said.

"It's really worrying that an entry-level mechanism is so exquisitely designed, and there won't be a more powerful mechanism down there." Sister Wang Na said worriedly.

"Sister Wang Na's worry is right, where is this, this is Zuo Ci's tomb, Zuo Ci has learned so many spells, don't be afraid that they are all used here." Min Lan said.

"No matter what it is, it's Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to break through." I said, "Let's go, let's go down." ”

The group followed me as we walked down the stairs down.

The staircase leads to the ground, and it is pitch black, and we are about to use some handy lighting tool, when suddenly our eyes light up.

"What's going on? Where does the light come from. Yun Xian said.

"On the wall." Yun Ning pointed to the surrounding walls, and sure enough, there were a lot of lampholders in a place as high as a person, but I don't know what the reason was, they actually lit up by themselves.

"Hey, this Zuo Ci is quite advanced, and he even uses sensor lights." Dazhe said.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense, this is an ancient tomb, and it's not a good thing that the lights suddenly turn on here." Yun Ximing said.

"Really? Could it be... Ghosts? As soon as Dazhe heard Yun Ximing say this, he began to be scared again.

"It's not some ghost, don't scare Dazhe, it's science." I said, "But it was not easy for the ancients to master such a science." Inside these lampholders are fish oil, which is actually the fish oil of baby fish and giant salamanders, and the fish oil is phosphorus, and there is a very thin layer of lime powder on top of the phosphorus. The ancient tomb is dry, the lime powder is not easy to get damp, someone walks by, the air shakes, brings the wind, blows the stone powder, the white phosphorus comes into contact with the air, burns, ignites the fish oil below, and the lamp is on. I said.

"My God, this process sounds simple, but the amount in between is really difficult to control, and the person who designed this is really clever." Yun Xian said.

"Just—" I hesitated.

"Just what?" Yun Ximing asked.

"Forget it, let's move on." I say.

There are two turns on the downward staircase, and we reach a flat and open place, but it is clear that this is far from the bottom level, because in the left front, there is also a downward staircase.

"How come there are so many floors in this place?" Dazhe said.

"Come and see, what is this?" Min Lan pointed to a stone platform in the middle of the platform and said, the stone platform was almost more than a meter, and there was a sculpture on it, which looked like it was gilded with a copper base, Dazhe walked over unequivocally, and reached out to take it, but was taken down by Yun Ximing.

"Don't move, there's a mechanism." Yun Ximing said.

"Brother Childe, you scared me again." Dazhe said.

"I didn't scare you this time, you take a good look at the stone platform." Yun Ximing said.

"It's... This... What's on this? Dazhe pointed to the stone platform and said. I saw that the stone platform was in the shape of a square, and there was a circle of grooves around it, and the grooves were filled with mercury.

"It's a balancing mechanism, the position of this bronze sculpture is precisely calculated, and if it is moved, it must trigger the mechanism." Yun Ximing said.

"I look at this bronze sculpture, it looks like a bird, but how can this bird have three legs?" Yun Xian said.

"Brother Li family, don't be mistaken, how can there be a three-legged bird, it must be... Ay?! It's really three legs. Dazhe said.

"And this wall, this wall is full of murals." Yun Ning said. Now the lampholders in the whole tomb have been lit up, and the whole tomb is brightly lit, and now you can see it clearly, and the walls of this tomb are all frescoes.

"This is the kind of three-legged bird over there, what are these, people are not ghosts, and strange trees." Min Lan said.

"Here's the three-legged golden crow." Yun Ximing said, "The three-legged crow, also known as the three-legged golden crow, is a kind of sacred bird in ancient Chinese mythology. It is said that the ancient people saw the sunspot and thought that it was a black bird that could fly, that is, a crow, and because it was different from the crow in nature, add a foot to distinguish, the three-legged black is a sacred bird that drives the Japanese chariot in Chinese myths and legends. According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other ancient books, the ten days in ancient Chinese sun myths and legends are the sons of Emperor Jun and Xihe, who have the characteristics of both humans and gods, and are the incarnation of the golden crow, which is a three-legged crow and a flying sun god bird. In ancient myths and legends, the Ten Days rose from the Fuso Sacred Tree in the east every morning, turned into a golden crow or sun god bird and flew from east to west in the universe, and at night it landed on the western Wakagi sacred tree. The crow comes from fire, and the ancients had this understanding, so the crow became associated with the sun and became a sacred bird that flew with the sun. ”

"It's so mysterious, we still think that the crow is some kind of hoodoo thing, but now it seems that it has become a divine beast." Dazhe said with emotion.

"It's not just a mythical beast, the Goguryeo people once worshipped the three-legged black, a sacred object that originated in the Central Plains. Think of it as a symbol of supreme power. Goguryeo is what was later called Goryeo, the Goguryeo people worship the three-legged black like a dragon and a phoenix, and the murals of the people are mostly painted with images of the sun and moon gods, indicating that they have the sun, moon and stars to worship. Even the ancient Chinese portrait themes and myths and legends also have traces of the three-legged golden crow, the ancient gods mainly include Fuxi Nuwa, the East Prince, and the West Queen Mother, etc., and the three-legged black and the nine-tailed fox are often listed next to the West Queen Mother as a red bird and beast. Yun Ximing said.

"This bird is so powerful." Yun Xian also sighed, "Should you also worship the crows when you go out in the future?" ”

"The Queen Mother of the West, who is this Queen Mother of the West sometimes, is it the same person as the Queen Mother we know?" Min Lan asked.

"The Queen Mother of the West is the Queen Mother, and she is also a god of ancient times." I say.

"Speaking of the Queen Mother, I know it, I have watched "Journey to the West" many times, what kind of peach conference the Queen Mother held, Sun Dasheng was not invited, this is the fuse of the Heavenly Palace." Dazhe began to show off again.

"You remember reading the novel clearly, why didn't you see that you memorized history so well when you were in school." I say.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh at me, the Queen Mother of the West is my idol, think about it, if your mother is the Queen Mother of the West, how good it must be, with mana, and rights, and most importantly, there are so many fairies under your hands, you won't have to worry about finding a partner." Dazhe began to talk nonsense again, and Min Lan pinched him hard, making him scream in pain.

"That's because you didn't see the Queen Mother of the West, and you won't think so when you do, you see, this is." Yun Ximing pointed to the mural and said. (To be continued.) )
