Volume 2 Xuanwu Mystery Burial Chapter 102 The Snake Belly Cave (II)
Shen Yifan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't pay attention, he felt that if he went down further, he might encounter some unexplainable things, but there was no way back, and the only way to get them out was to go all the way down the snake belly cave.
Jin Zhuyu said on the side: "Are you worried about the next journey? ”
Shen Yifan said: "According to the records on the bamboo slips, you may encounter some unclean things. It can be dangerous to go forward. ”
Jin Jiyu took out a cigarette from Shen Yifan's cigarette case, lit it and took a puff and said, "Actually, I am also very addicted to smoking. When I was in the United States, a friend who was a doctor always advised me to quit smoking, saying that smoking too much would cause cancer. I didn't listen, and in the end, the doctor friend died of lung cancer. ”
Shen Yifan smiled and said, "Your joke is not funny at all. ”
Jin Zhiyu said: "I'm not talking about a joke. What we're doing now is no different from smoking. I feel that smoking will kill people, but who knows if smoking will kill people until the end? Ordinary people may be hit by a car while walking on the road, how does anyone know that he will be hit and killed? So you don't have to think about it, only when you get to the front, can you know what problems we will face? ”
Shen Yifan looked at Jin Jiyu with a very surprised gaze, and felt that what she said was particularly philosophical, he pinched the cigarette butt hard, and said, "Okay! Let's go. ”
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Shen Yifan's words, and suddenly the motor said: "Where is the news from Gujie." ”
Jin Zhuyu said jokingly: "This kid, this time it's really fast enough." ”
The motor handed the tablet to Shen Yifan, who looked at the content of the blurred text on the piece of silk after demobilization, and read it word by word: "The snake belly is nine songs and gossip, and the plum blossoms are blooming in the Zhang family's house." This goes to the Three Hundred Styx River, and there is no way back to cross the river boat. ”
Then the following is a long text, roughly recording an incident that happened after Zhang Wenchuan entered Yubei, Shen Yifan read the text on it, and fully understood why Zhang Wenchuan wanted to stay in Yubei with his disciples and disciples and take refuge in the king of Xichuan.
The content on the silk is actually very simple, probably meaning that there was a very serious rebellion in the Ming Dynasty at that time, which led to a disagreement between the Feng family and the Zhang family of the Guanshan Taibao family, and the Feng family began to retreat to the Wuxia area, and the Zhang family thought that they must also be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at that time the Zhang family actually had no way out, and many people in the Zhang family were officials in the court, so they stayed to assist the court.
Zhang Wenchuan was still looking for the elixir of immortality, and when he came to Yubei to find the clues, he immediately sent a pigeon to inform the imperial court, but what he didn't want was that a month later, the news came from the imperial court that the emperor died violently after taking the elixir of immortality. At this time, Zhang Wenchuan realized that their family could no longer return to the imperial court, so he took refuge in the king of Xichuan.
That's what is written on the silk, but Shen Yifan has always regretted one thing, that is, the timeline doesn't seem to be right, according to the clues along the way, Zhang Wenchuan appeared in the Yongle period, and many of his clues here have been extended to the middle and late Ming Dynasty, if this is the case, his age has become the only question.
According to the limerick mentioned on the silk, the cave of the snake belly should lead to a place in the shape of a bagua, but the terrain in the cave should be very complicated.
In the gossip-shaped place, Shen Yifan's first thought was the dragon vein Baoyan hill in Longbow County, the shape of the hill is the gossip shape, and the plum blossom map of the Zhang family seems to have other mysteries, if this is the case, Shen Yifan will continue to study the plum blossom map.
Shen Yifan guessed that the correct way to follow the road should be a waterway, but it is unknown what kind of danger this waterway has.
At the end of the silk, there is also a sentence: "After peeking into the mountain, you will enter the mountain, and if you know the whole picture, you will look for a hexagram." ”
Shen Yifan put away the tablet and said, "If you want to know Zhang Wenchuan's secret, it is estimated that you have to enter the dragon vein treasure eye to know it." I guess Zhang Wenchuan must have found the mystery of eternal life, so he has been guarding this mystery, if so. In the end, when the Xichuan Kingdom fell, he felt that Luoquan Mountain could no longer hide these secrets, so he used this snake-belly cave to transport the secrets to the center of Longbow County, under the gossip-shaped hill. ”
Everyone is also shocked when they hear this, it seems that there is not much way to get a glimpse of the secret, if you can find the dungeon of the dragon vein treasure eye, you should be able to know the mystery of eternal life.
Saying that, everyone was full of energy, ready to do everything and continued to go towards the depths of the snake belly cave, walking all the way for about two hours, and there was no danger along the way, but when they came to a cave with a very large space in the middle of the cave, the whole person was dumbfounded.
The cave was about the size of a basketball hall, and there was a circle of identical caves around it, and the entrance to the cave was in the shape of an arch, and there were ninety-nine entrances, all of the same length and width, and only one person could lean in.
The expert said: "Ninety-nine is just in response to the ancient saying that ninety-nine is great, if so. And then we had a headache. ”
Shen Yifan nodded and said, "It's indeed a headache. This is really the first time I've encountered this situation, and there are no hints, no hints. That's what exactly the ninety-nine entrances are for? ”
The poppy was bold, a person had already looked towards an entrance, and after reading it, his mouth also made a 'huh', this sound completely aroused the curiosity of Shen Yifan and others, and everyone came to the side of the poppy and looked towards the entrance.
At the end of the cave, there is a stone table, and there is a big golden toad on the table, there is no mechanism on both sides, and there is a night pearl illuminated on the top of the cave, so the cave can be said to be unobstructed.
Fang Zi said on the side: "I'll pack the ticket." It must have been a golden lump. ”
Everyone was confused, and they didn't know what the situation was, and the experts and the stone people looked at several caves in a row, and they were all like this. After looking at all the ninety-nine caves, I found that all of the ninety-nine caves were arranged like this, but I don't know why.
Shen Yifan took a turn in this huge cave, and suddenly felt that he seemed to ignore a place, he looked up and saw that he had already understood in his heart, he hurriedly circled around the cave, and then said, "This cave." There is a key in this cave. ”
Everyone listened to the clouds, and they all looked towards the top of the cave, and they all looked at it in amazement. It turns out that the cave they are in should have been artificially modified, the cave is a standard circle, ninety-nine small caves are artificially dug out along the circular mountain wall, the huge circular cave is about four or five meters high from the ground to the top of the cave, and there is a stone sculpture of a five-clawed golden dragon on it.
The height of this stone carving is indescribable, at first glance it looks like a real dragon hovering in the sky, the dragon's head looks down, its eyes are vivid, and the front two claws enter the clouds and come out, wanting to fly to the ground.
The expert was very meticulous, and soon found that there was a dragon whisker missing from the dragon's mouth, strictly speaking, it should be half a beard, and when he came to Shen Yifan's side and looked at the small cave, he also understood.
It turned out that the golden toad in this cave actually had half a dragon's whisker in its mouth, and that dragon's whisker should be the key to open the dragon-shaped cave roof above its head.
Shen Yifan smiled slightly and said: "This snake-belly cave was originally built according to the specifications of the mausoleum, no wonder I always feel very familiar when I enter the cave." ”
In this way, everyone looked around carefully, and felt that what Shen Yifan said was very reasonable, some mausoleums in ancient times had examples of tomb entrances above the corridor, so everyone also understood what the key Shen Yifan said at the beginning was about.
Hearing this, Fang Zi said with a big grin: "It's not simple. As he spoke, he swaggered into the cave in front of him.
Before Shen Yifan could stop Fang Zi, he heard a deafening sound of insects coming from the cave, and then the same insect chirping came from the ninety-nine caves.
This kind of insect chirp is very powerful, the sound is very harsh and sharp, and the sound waves are like steel needles straight into people's ears, and everyone feels a sharp pain in their ears.
Shen Yifan looked at Fang Zi in the cave, and suddenly collapsed on the ground, his eyes were white and foaming at the mouth, he rushed into the cave with luck, and dragged Fang Zi out, and the two collapsed in the middle of the circular cave at the same time.
After a minute, the insects stopped chirping, but everyone's ears were still buzzing, all of them were sweating profusely, and Fang Zi was unconscious.
Sanniu gasped and said, "What exactly is in this cave?" ”
Shen Yifan patted his ears and said, "This is going to ask Miss Jin." ”
Jin Jiyu was inexplicably said by Shen Yifan, his eyes widened and he replied: "Ask me?" I don't know? ”
Shen Yifan said: "The Five Elements family is a businessman; Wood is an insect; Water is Ze; Fire is refining, earth is digging. ”
Jin Zhuyu was reminded when he heard it, and suddenly realized: "Could this be the long-lost autumn insect song technique of the Mu family?" ”
Shen Yifan said: "In addition to this thing, what other little bugs can have such power?" ”
At this time, Fang Zi was relieved, and said with a sad face: "My mother! What kind of worm is this, it is simply going to kill Lao Tzu. ”
Jin Zhuyu said: "I once heard Uncle Mu of the Mu family say that the Mu family has a long-lost insect cultivation technique, called the autumn insect song technique. The situation in this cave is very similar to that of Autumn Bugs. ”
Since ancient times, there has been no separation between building and thieves, and if there is construction, there is theft, and the same is true for ancient tombs. The prosperity of the Five Elements family was in the late Tang Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil and there was almost no law and discipline at all, so the wind of tomb robbery was also quite rampant, and it is said that there were nobles at that time who were buried today A week after the tomb has been stolen and excavated.
The Five Elements Family was a very famous school of tomb building at that time, and it can be said that from site selection to tomb building, and finally the installation of the mechanism, the Five Elements Family could provide one-stop service, and this autumn insect song technique was one of the very powerful mechanisms at that time.
It is rumored that the autumn insect is a kind of cicada, the size is much larger than the average cicada, it is very lazy and likes to lie dormant in the cracks of the mountains on weekdays, the autumn insect has a very strong sense of territory, once something invades its territory, it will emit a high decibel insect song, to deter the invader, and even the invader chirps to death.
Autumn insects generally do not move when they are dormant, as long as they do not move, they can survive for a long time, and they are hermaphroditic insects that can lay eggs on their own. Therefore, the autumn insects in the ancient tombs can ensure the safety of the ancient tombs for a hundred years.
However, although the chirping of autumn insects can deter intruders, it is not enough to curb the decibel chirping of autumn insects that tomb robbers enter the wild tombs, so the ancient Mu family specializes in studying autumn insects and found that its chirping decibels can be increased by more than 100 times, and the concept is that the ordinary cicada calls are increased by more than 100 times, then this power is comparable to the sound wave power in martial arts.
Hearing this, everyone all stared at the gold inlaid jade with wide eyes, and the expert asked on the side: "Is there a way to crack it?" ”
Jin Zhuyu said: "I heard Uncle Mu say that this autumn insect song technique is incomprehensible. ”
As soon as Fang Zi heard this, he jumped eight feet high, and was about to scold when he raised his throat, and suddenly thought that there were extremely powerful autumn insects in the caves around him, so he lowered his voice and said, "How do you play this?" ”
Jin Zhuyu felt that Fang Zi was a little funny, and he smiled and said nothing.
"Bugs are generally afraid of smoke, and we smoke these little things," the expert said. ”
Shen Yifan was thinking about something, and didn't join their conversation, Jin Zhuyu saw that Shen Yifan was a little wooden, so he pushed him and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Shen Yifan said with a puzzled face: "It seems that I have also been exposed to the autumn insect song technique in my memory, but I don't remember it very well. ”
Fang Zi said on the side: "I said boss, your current memory can't flicker. It's about our ears. I can't stand this autumn insects, if I do it again, I'll really be in place. ”
The stone said on the side: "Is this just enough to plug it with your ears?" ”
Fang Zi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted the stone and said, "Stone, is your kid's little head still quite smart sometimes?" ”
After Fang Zi finished speaking, he tore two rags to plug his ears, and tried to enter the cave with autumn insect chirping again, everyone didn't have time to persuade him at a glance, so they all covered their ears, and Fang Zi took a step in the cave, and the insects in the whole cave screamed, and the sound went directly into the ears, no matter how tightly everyone blocked their ears, it was useless, and the sharp sound still went directly into the ears.
Everyone feels that this kind of sound does not enter the brain through the ears, but directly into the brain, making the whole person have a splitting headache, Fang Zi can be regarded as becoming smart this time, he did not rush in directly, but just slowly rubbed in the pace, and the insects chirped together, and he was actually one step away from the outside of the hole.
Fang Zi jumped out of the cave directly when he heard the insect chirping, but the whole person was still like white paper by the insect chirping, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall.
Shen Yifan had some internal strength, stabilized his mind and waited until the insect song was over, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, this time the insect song was even more powerful than before, Jin Zhuyu and the others were all called to sit on the ground and have no strength in their bodies.
Sanniu said: "This ghost thing is really powerful. My head hurts, and my heart is about to fall out of my throat. ”
Shen Yifan was still thinking about it, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "That's right!" Xiangyang group of thieves meeting. ”
"The Bandits?" Everyone asked in unison.
The group thieves meeting is actually a gathering of thieves on the rivers and lakes, similar to the selection meeting of professional competitions. It is opened once every ten years, and it will be opened in Xiangyang City. At this rally, the masters of door thieves from all over the world gathered, to put it bluntly, they are first-class pickpockets, but they generally do not invite people from the tomb robbery world to participate, so few people in the tomb robbery world know that there are such gatherings in the world.
Shen Yifan naturally didn't remember why he went to this party, but a scene came to his mind, that is, the 'bag and fetch' skill performed by the head of the Swallow Gate, which is famous in the skill performance, is related to the autumn insect song.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, and no one could figure it out, what does this anti-tomb mechanism have to do with pickpockets?
Everything in the world can be integrated, just because the autumn insect song technique is an extremely powerful thing to prevent theft from tombs, so some people have thought of using this object for indoor anti-theft.
The master of the natural pickpocket world has to find a way to crack the autumn insect chirping technique, but this kind of mechanism is still powerful, and there are so many thieves in the rivers and lakes, that is, the swallow gate has come up with a way to crack it.
The expert said on the side: "Swallow Gate." This sect has been in existence since the Qing Dynasty and is known for its light achievements. If Yanzimen can come up with a way to crack the autumn insect song, it will naturally have something to do with the light exercise method. ”
As soon as the expert said this, everyone's eyes looked directly at Shen Yifan. Shen Yifan was still thinking about something, and suddenly saw that everyone was looking at him, and his heart was also a hair, and he didn't know what was going on?
Can Shen Yifan and the others crack the autumn insect song technique? Get half a dragon's whisker to open the door to the top of the cave. What will they encounter next in the snake belly cave? Is there really a secret about immortality in the Dragon Vein Treasure Eye Dungeon in Longbow County?
