The fat man who was carrying Xu Qing on his back sighed and said, "Since it's all in front of you, it's not like a problem if you don't take him with you, and it won't save us from coming back for another run." ”

As soon as the fat man turned his head, he motioned for us to follow him, and the door of the main hall was facing the city gate, and we were still at the back of the main hall, so we had to follow the fat man along the edge of the tall foundation to the front.

The front of the main hall is also extremely magnificent, a stone staircase with a width of dozens of meters, and if you look closely, there is no gap between the stairs, which seems to be carved from a whole boulder.

I was horrified to see it from afar, but when I walked in, I found something that stunned me even more. When I first saw the stairs from afar, I had already noticed that there were two tall towers in front of the stairs, about four or five stories high, and the towers were all black, but they looked a little strange from a distance.

Now I walked to the bottom of the steps, and one of the black towers closest to me, I was about ten meters away from it, and it looked even more strange at this time.

At this time, it was only afternoon, and the Sunshine Black Tower was exactly in the same line as me, and I was looking at the Black Tower from this position, the tower body blocked the sunlight, and the light spread out from the edge of the tower, a strange and mysterious scene.

I shielded my hand from the glare of the light, and walked to the edge of the Black Tower, and walked around the base of the tower, and I realized that it did not seem to be a tower. After looking closely, I finally knew what it was.

When I got to the direction of the backlight, the huge black tower body completely appeared in front of my eyes. I'm familiar with this thing, and I've seen it not long ago, but it's much smaller at the time.

At that time, in the deciduous swamp, it was this kind of big-headed portrait that we salvaged from the mud, and the fat man and Professor Hu in the expedition team said that that thing was called the boundary stone. Now it seems that their words are not false at all, these two things that I mistook for tower-like buildings are exactly the same things as the big-headed stone figures of the time.

Just standing under the huge big-headed stone statue and looking up at it, you can feel an invisible sense of oppression, being able to make such a huge artifact, and it is still a carving, and the construction method is not shoddy, all of which show how strong the national strength of the Rongyu country was at that time.

I am now beginning to be a little interested in the cause of the fall of the Rong Domain, the fat man called out to me, they had already gone up the steps, I waved my hand to catch up, and a few times I looked back at the huge stone statues standing on both sides of the steps.

The staircase was carved out of the kind of black rock I was already familiar with, and I deliberately leaned over to see if there were any gaps between the steps, and sure enough, they were all one, without any seams that could be seen with the naked eye.

There are no weeds on this huge black staircase, and there is a vacant piece, which is staggered with the surrounding environment, and it looks very abrupt.

When I was at the bottom of the steps, I already had a thought in my heart, and I don't know if it was more than a day before there was a stimulus thing, which gave me something wrong, and I counted how many steps there were.

Up to the top of the stairs, there are exactly one hundred and eight steps, a lot of the first step, and not much of the first step.

It may be that when I counted, my voice was a little loud, and the fat man put down Xu Qing on the steps and said to me, "What are you counting with a whine." ”

"Steps." I'm back.

Then the fat man looked at me in surprise, looking like he was crazy, but immediately said very seriously: "Then little comrade, have you counted the flowers?" ”

At this time, I was a little speechless, so I had to give him a blank look. I went to ask Xue Ning: "Do you know what the special meaning of one hundred and eight is?" ”

He asked me why I asked this suddenly, and I told him about the fact that I had counted exactly one hundred and eight steps.

After listening to Xue Ning's pondering by scratching his head, at this time, the fat man preemptively said in the back: "One hundred and eight, one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, haha." ”

"Are you serious?" I was a little angry, I didn't even look back, and I replied to him in a somewhat unkind tone.

"Oh, just kidding to relieve your anger, look at you, it's boring."

"If you want to talk about the number one hundred and eight, there are some related things, one is one hundred and eight constellations, there is actually no problem with what the fat consultant said, didn't they all say it in the Water Margin, aren't all the reincarnations of the stars." Xue Ning said, and by the way, he also relieved the fat man.

I didn't care about that, I seem to have only heard of the one hundred and eight constellations in the Water Margin, but I heard more about the twenty-eight constellations. Where did this one hundred and eight constellations come from, and it involves my blind spot in knowledge, as if there is a hundred and eight trigrams or sixty-four trigrams in the I Ching. But whatever this one hundred and eight refers to, it touches on a question that has been bothering us throughout this trip. - Where am I?

I'm on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, just like the lyrics say. In an instant, I realized that I wanted to go astray, so I quickly smoothed out my thinking, no matter what this one hundred and eight refers to, no matter how it is said that it is the culture of the Central Plains, and it is unlikely that there will be masters who abandon Buddhism and follow the Tao in Tibet.

I sighed, my mind was confused, my thoughts were constantly going off topic, I couldn't control it at all, and it seemed that I would have to go back to my neurology classmate when I went back.

"I don't know what to say or not." The fat man raised his hand in motion.

When I heard what he was going to say, I had to sigh and hold my forehead again and again, and said in my heart, I see what else can come out of your dog's mouth. With a wave of his hand, he let him speak.

Sure enough, the fat man's mouth can still spit out ivory.

"The statement of one hundred and eight constellations is actually not very rigorous, the Fengshen List, the Water Margin, and even the Taoists have mentioned it, but they are all some side balls, which are too general. The number one hundred and eight is actually quite special, and it appears frequently. We have a saying in Huaxia about the Zhou Yi hexagram, which mentions this number. Buddhism has a hundred and eight sons, and it seems that foreign monks also have something like that, in short, what I want to say is, you don't need to dwell on this problem, maybe it's a coincidence. ”

Maybe I'm really too sensitive, but I always feel that there is something wrong. The royal building, such a grand scale, is a very important part of the building, I don't think it will be messy about the quantity. There is no doubt that the degree of superstition about numbers is still very deep today.

Modern people can't completely avoid the problem, let alone the feudal society that is still in their dreams. I've heard the saying that if you eat from the sky, you may starve to death at any time, and if you take a few sticks of incense, you can exchange it for a good night or a good night, which is always a good deal.

It is said that the superstition of numbers, from the generation of personal characters or building regulations, to the fortune of the world, and the momentum pattern, are inseparable from digital algorithms. It's just that I thought about it, and the human factor of such a big thing as numerology and situation is still too big.

You say that he was rich and noble in numerology, but died tragically when he was young? You said that this magnificent hall was built according to some seemingly non-existent feng shui figures, and he could not fall for decades, and that was not just a matter of man-made fire.

Now that I think about it, my thoughts at that time were indeed a little too superficial, I thought that man was still victorious, but I forgot that the power of man was still too small, these things that I looked very ridiculous at the time, maybe there was really a destiny.

My thoughts were forced back by me, and I couldn't figure it out, so I just thought it was a coincidence, after all, the relationship with us was not very big, and there was not much meaning in tracing the source.

In front of the main hall, there is a large open space paved with smooth stone slabs, and in the open space there are more than a dozen huge stone pillars, which are inserted into the top of more than ten meters high, and I can't think about how these pillars weighing dozens of tons are placed here, so I can only marvel again and again.

There are some patterns on the pillars, and I don't know what the lines are, but Xue Ning studied them carefully, and praised the craftsmen for their superb skills and superb artistic attainments.

I can't see at all which of these lines have anything to do with art, and then I think about it, the works of those masters seem to have the same effect as the patterns on the pillars, in short, they are the things of your circle, and I don't understand it as a vulgar person.

In order not to show me that I have never seen the world, I also looked at it a few times and shouted a few words of goodness, but then the fat man looked at me and I felt a little weird, I guess it was probably contempt.

Xu Qing coughed a few times at this time, woke up, looked weak, I saw that his movements were to speak, but his lips moved, and finally he didn't make a sound.

The main hall gate is also two huge stone walls, and the huge stone door is closed, and when I saw it, I thought to myself, this thing can only be opened by Dwayne Johnson's physique.

We checked every corner around the door, I was poisoned by the adventure treasure hunt novel, and I kept fantasizing about whether there would be a stone mechanism, and when I pressed it, the door would open automatically, and it turned out that reality was not fiction.

Everyone knows about the tricks and tricks of ancient Chinese institutions, but there are almost none of them that have survived to the present day, which makes me a little suspicious of the authenticity of them.

The conjecture of the mechanism of the slate gate was quickly denied by myself. If I really want to open the stone door mechanically, I can think of at least installing a hydraulic system, but this is obviously impossible. So how do you open the door? And how did Rabah get in?

There was no sound coming from inside the door, and I pressed my ear to the stone door, and it was still silent. I patted it again, and found that the sound coming out was very dull, and most of the stone doors were quite thick.

Xu Qing was slowly placed on the ground by the fat man, looking at us with his eyes, a little uneasy, but most of them were still blurred, which made me very worried about him. Is there any hope that he will get out alive? I can't answer in the affirmative. In fact, the hope we are talking about is only to comfort our hearts, after all, out of the rainforest, you have to ride a horse for three days.

As soon as I thought about this, I became more and more impatient, and there was no warning at all to get to this point, and all kinds of feelings were mixed.

I fed Xu Qing some water, but he didn't spit it out this time, which also gave me some hope that his condition was getting better.

The fat man is still looking for it, and he has almost searched all the patterns on the entire stone door, in his words, don't underestimate the skills of the ancestors, some things at that time can't be reproduced now.

He searched for it, and he should have found that his ancestor might not have been here. There was no progress in the search, and he was tired of searching, so he sat on the ground with my ass.

Now our mental state is very delicate, and it is not to go, nor is it to go. If you don't go, Xu Qing may have problems at any time, let's go, I'm already here again, and I'm separated from Raba by a door, so I'm unwilling to leave like this, in fact, most of the time I don't want to come back and go like this.

As soon as the fat man sat on the ground, he wanted to take the kettle to drink, and the moment he sat down, his body leaned towards the stone door. What happened next was something we didn't expect at all, the heavy stone door was just gently leaned by the fat man, and the door opened with a whole creaking sound.

In fact, we made a huge mistake at the beginning, for anyone, seeing two huge stone doors like this, the first reaction is that the stone doors weigh a thousand catties, and manpower must not be able to open. Although I think so, most people will still come forward to give it a try, and we are all very tacit, and no one has tried to move the stone door.
