Chapter 55: The Wonderful Mystery of the Compass

When the third child shouted that someone was there, I felt a slight chill on my body.

And it was at this time that without thinking about it, another sentence came to my mind. Whenever a person felt an inexplicable chill, or felt something very terrible to him, or a lonely soul that had been dead for many years was passing by him.

Poetic, is there any!

What, didn't feel it? That's because you're not young enough.

Well, back to reality, the chill passed, and with a bang, there was no hair that dissipated.

Looking up, the scene in front of me was quite shocking.

The large compass, which is nearly two meters in diameter, resembles a cut pizza, split into twenty-four pieces. Each piece is raised high with a sharp tip in the center.

Twenty-four pieces of white crystal, cut in such fine detail, each with a sharp spire.

Not to mention anything else, as far as such a handiwork is concerned, it is estimated that it is difficult to manufacture it if it is modern.

After looking at it clearly, Fang Xiaomei and I jumped up in three or two steps.

Holding the white crystal in my hand, I took the flashlight and looked in the direction of the old three fingers.

In the center of the crystal, in a small hole with a radius of nearly sixty centimeters, there are clearly layers of stairs made of marble, and on the stairs, there is a human being dressed on his stomach.

This human ...... At a glance, you can see that it is the ancients of the previous dynasty, why, because there is a big word 'soldier' on his clothes behind him.

Hey, this is a Qing army.

And it's still the early Qing army, why do you say that? The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were divided into two words, soldier, and brave according to the division of time. The former was the national army in the early Qing Dynasty, so the word soldier was printed on the back.

In the later period, the power of the Eight Banners gradually declined, and the strength of the township regiment and the Hunan army rose, and these rising forces did not directly obey the orders of the state, but obeyed the orders of the commanding generals, such as Zeng Guofan and so on...... Therefore, they have a brave character printed on their backs.

This unlucky soldier brother, he obviously belongs to the national power, and he was a human in the early Qing Dynasty during his lifetime, so he has a soldier on his back.

The third child twitched his nose at this time and said, "Hey, Leizi, are you weird?" It stands to reason that this thing has been dead for hundreds of years, and this boundary is not ventilated, so how can it be opened without any strange smell? ”

I swept it with a flashlight, and instead of watching my brother, I looked at the structure of the passage.

On a scan, I found that the entire passageway, including the staircase, was made of hard marble. And the cutting angle is sharp like a knife, extremely sharp and precise.

After looking at the structure, I looked at the staircase, and there were obvious traces of dust turbulence and pushing on the staircase.

I thought for a moment, looked up and said, "This former Qing soldier brother didn't die here, he died in another place." And, if my reasoning is correct, the whole underground itself is a fine and massive stone pin! ”

The third child suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "Leizi, according to what you say." The bottom of this was originally solid. No way, we inserted the broken jade knife into it, touched the pin, and as soon as it moved, it not only moved Dao'er, but also transported the dead soldier brother, right? ”

Without waiting for me to come back, Qi Dao swished, moved up and said, "The son can be taught!" The appropriate little friend explained it, and it was very in place. This underground is an integrated pin mechanism. Of course, this is not an ordinary human activity. Therefore......"

Zhu Lao Dao continued: "Don't enter rashly." ”

Then all the people gathered around.

Li Qingfei swept the flashlight a few times, and said in surprise: "This ...... It's amazing, is this a masterpiece left on Earth by aliens? ”

Zhu Laodao heard this, and laughed twice.

I looked at Fang Xiaomei helplessly.

Earthlings are indeed like that! Whenever something suspicious is encountered, it will basically become two sets of arguments. One is demons, monsters and immortals. Or say yes, the legendary alien Xiaoqiang!

Aliens do exist, but! They really haven't been to Earth.

Yes, that's the idea in my head again, and although I don't really agree with it, it exists.

Daoist Qi read: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable is also!" This was done by a real man of antiquity! That is to say, the legendary Dao Ruins are also, but this ruins are visually measured by the poor Dao, and they are a mechanism formation! ”

Qi Dao Chang crow's mouth, a sentence of the mechanism formation, suddenly, boom...... Rumble!

Under the ground, it sounded like a boiling pot again.

I secretly said something bad, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, get out of the way." ”

I wish the old man is really fast!

Before I could speak, Mr. Man, whoosh, had already escaped into the corner.

At this speed, tsk, Bolt was embarrassed when he saw it.

In the blink of an eye, the friends who came to see the excitement all left far away.

The ground shook for about four or five seconds.

Suddenly! Bang!

Another crash without warning.

After the ringing, I looked up and said, "Fuck you!" The compass was closed again, and the broken jade knife was still stuck straight in the center.

Zhu Lao Dao scolded: "What is this, this, this thing ......"

Everyone was a little confused by this scene, so they got together and started talking.

After a long time of rambling, there was no unanimous opinion in the end.

So, I decided to try again.

The third child took the initiative to ask for help, and put on gloves to twist the handle of the knife.

Left rotation, right rotation, let's do the exercise together.

Spin over, escape.

Bang!

The compass opened again.

It was the third child who was the first to jump up, took out a flashlight and aimed it at the bottom and swept it down, he turned his head and replied: "Brother Qianqingbing doesn't see a bird." However, it seems that it is his weapon lying down there! ”

I listened, jumped up and took a look, and sure enough, on the steps below, there was a big knife with a thick rust!

Hey......

This is weird!

After thinking about it, the partners jumped up again, squatted around the hole, took a flashlight, and repeatedly shone it down, but no one jumped down.

Nonsense, no one is a fool, and if you jump down if you don't know what's going on, isn't that looking for death?

I studied it for a long time, but I didn't figure out a reason for it when I got old.

So, feeling hungry, I started eating.

During this period, Li Renhou asked Zhu Laodao: "Dao Chief, if we go deep here, will there be anything wrong with the people above, and will their people chase in?" ”

Zhu Lao Dao replied: "Those murderers outside will never come in easily, because they are still waiting for us to be cannon fodder for them." Otherwise, this realm is so evil, you can't figure out what's going on, how do you get in? ”

Li Renhou was stunned, and at the end he hated and said: "This group of people is too bad, too ......."

Qi Daochang said: "No, if he doesn't move, how can we know the mystery hidden in this place? But if you find the mystery, you may encounter the disaster of killing again, but if you get through the danger of killing, how do you know that you will not be blessed by misfortune? ...... for some reason"

Zhu Lao Dao is staring fiercely, staring at Qi Daochang.

The Taoist waved his hand: "That's it!" Let me wait, and then make a decision. ”

So, the discussion began again.

I don't know how long I begged, everyone was drinking small beer, chewing beef jerky, and eating.

Suddenly, the ground boomed again, rumbling!

Then, bam!

Well, the crystal plate is closed again.

I squinted at the closed plate, and a thought suddenly appeared in my heart, the next second, I swooped two steps to grab the compass, looked down for a while, and then everything I saw in front of me was exactly what I thought!

Immediately, I turned my head and said to my friends, "All the mechanisms are on this compass!" By the way, the third child, the last time you rotated the jade knife, do you remember how many degrees the jade knife rotated? ”

The third child raised his neck, thought for a while, and said, "It's almost thirty degrees." It's just a small spin, and then it can't be twisted, it seems to be strong, and it makes you twist it back. ”

I clapped my hands: "That's right, the compass is 360 degrees, 360 divided by 30 and so on 12." And from the compass opening to closing, I estimated that it should be exactly two hours. In ancient times, two hours was an hour. ”

The third child was slightly confused.

Fang Bingrong resolutely replied: "If you analyze it like this, you can explain why the elder brother of the former Qing soldier disappeared." Because! Under this compass, there are twelve different passages! ”

I clapped my hands again, pointed to the compass and said, "You see, the twelve passages, corresponding to each other, the direction of the eight trigrams, and the twenty-four mountains of feng shui. ”

"For example, just ......"

I turned around and looked at the compass and said, "What the third child is spinning is the hexagram in the eight trigrams, and the twenty-four mountains of feng shui correspond to the three mountains, Geng, You, Xin, and Sanshan. ”

Speaking of this, I found that Daoist Qi was staring straight at me.

At the end, he clapped his hands violently: "Good! Wonderful! Hahaha! Sure enough, a young hero! This inference is very much in line with what Poor Dao thinks. Error-free, really error-free! ”

Zhu Lao Dao lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly said: "No, if it's just a hexagram, why can't a hexagram come to an end?" ”

At this time, Fang Bingrong, who was staring at the compass, spoke: "Look, this compass is slowly rotating by itself. ”

Hearing this, everyone gathered around, and sure enough, on the compass, the hexagram was a palace, as if it was slowly rotating at a very slow speed.

Bagua has only eight directions, and the eight directions are in the compass, each of which is forty-five degrees. The third child only twisted the jade knife thirty degrees, and the remaining fifteen degrees were rotated by the compass and slowly reset. At the same time, presumably this huge mechanism deep underground is also slowly resetting and adjusting!

Wonderful! Such a thing is simply calculated.

Everyone watched it and was speechless.

Especially Li Qingfei and Gao Mingzhi, a pair of modern youth.

The two of them couldn't stop saying, "Is this what the ancient people did?" How did the ancients be, how could they ...... This technology, impossible, absolutely impossible. ”

Now is not the time to popularize Taoist knowledge for this couple.

Now that we have figured out a general pattern of compass operation, we began to discuss a specific course of action.

The compass is guided by a jade knife, and the first twist of the compass is to fully activate the compass and the mechanism connected below.

Once activated, the mechanism will always be running.

Next, it's a question of how to get in!

After some discussion, it was decided that I, Bingrong, the third child, and Zhu Lao Dao, these four people went to check in first. Qi Daochang has a weak body, and he takes care of the people of the Li family outside.

With our minds decided, we gathered in front of the compass.

This time, the third child is still in charge!

Last time, the third child twisted the 'dui' palace in the gossip.

And this time, we are going to the 'Qian' Palace.

In the gossip, dry is the sky!

There is such a sentence in the hexagram explanation.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!

All right! Let's uphold the way of heaven, with the posture of a gentleman, and explore this mysterious ruins underground!
