Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 11: Mirror Feng Shui
I secretly figured it out, the ancient tomb in Chongling is definitely not as simple as it seems, and the Miss Luo family has spent a lot of thought on the preparation in the early stage, which means that they know the deeper situation, maybe she and Professor Wu are just exploring the way, and there is no need for them to prepare so many weapons and dry food just when they go in.
Cai Geng set Guo Tong's tomb inside, and Cai Geng must have entered the Yue Guoqun tomb under Guo Tong's tomb, and Cai Geng actually set up an iron lock hanging coffin in the abyss? Is it really to stop the snake sparrow?
Cai Geng's period has been hundreds of years now, why are the snake sparrows still there? Is there such a long-lived animal? Cai Geng's means can't get rid of snakes?
And the corpse that looked very similar to me later, he also went deep into the abyss, why did he choose to sleep in the coffin?
Was the orb of fire found in the burial goods of the ancient tomb, or was it brought out by the man who looked like me under the abyss? If it was a funeral item, why didn't Cai Geng take it away? And the person like me didn't let anyone take it away, so they wouldn't all die inside, would they?
There is only one explanation for this, that is, Cai Geng went down to the bottom of the abyss, found the fire bead, and learned a certain truth, which he couldn't take out, and he went down like me, and he knew the truth, and he didn't dare to bring it out.
And when we touched the fire bead, we alarmed the snake finch, which means that the fire bead and the snake finch are related.
Leaving the fire bead has become the key, maybe Miss Luo, the purpose of their lead is to find out the situation of the fire bead, and they can retreat when the goal is achieved, in fact, their purpose is to be under the abyss.
Thinking of this, I wondered, could the bizarre passage from the dungeon to the dark room also be done by them? They didn't want me or my second uncle to go back to the dark room, but they wanted to trap me or my second uncle and force my grandfather to come to their rescue, so that they could get on their boat. In other words, to enter the bottom of the abyss, you must rely on my grandfather, or their future ring plan is indispensable to my grandfather.
It's just that there is a variable here, that is, I, no one thought that I would be the Yang family's supreme yang physique, and I didn't expect that I would be able to smoothly bring out the fire beads, which means that their plan can come to an end, and they don't have to stay in the tomb for the time being, so they took us out.
Otherwise, we couldn't get out after climbing so many times before, so why did it go so smoothly? And every time they climb the secret passage, she or Applejack follows them, with their professional ability, it should not be difficult to disguise a passage that seems impossible to get out, just like the secret door in the dark room in the mine, the second uncle has been in and out so many times without finding it.
Obviously, Miss Luo is hiding a lot of facts, but I don't think this Liu Sanyan is a simple person.
His questions won't be a matter of a day or two, Chongling must have thought about a lot of things after he went back, but he still dared to come alone, so what did he rely on? I'm afraid that Miss Luo will be hacked and stay here forever?
Liu Sanyan I don't have much contact with, and I don't know much about it, but he is definitely the kind of person who always leaves a way out for himself.
Thinking about it again, Lao Gen definitely wouldn't have been lying in it by himself, the guy who disappeared with Lao Gen was already dead, and that guy had been corpsed before he died and was finally killed by Xiao Mu, and it couldn't be that guy. The only ones who are suspicious are Xiao Mu and Miss Luo, and Xiao Mu has no motive to do this, and his style of doing things is also different, so it will be very direct to kill Lao Gen. Then it can only be Miss Luo.
What about Miss Row's motives? If there is a hatred of Lao Gen, he will not follow, with Miss Luo's skills, there is no need to create this kind of unsolved case for revenge, and no one can suspect her if Lao Gen is completely missing. There is only one possibility, Miss Luo wants to use the old eradication of corpses to get rid of some people.
The person Miss Luo wants to get rid of should not be me, nor will it be marijuana, because the two of us are not a threat to her, and obviously Liu Sanyan is also aware of this, and feels that Miss Luo is very likely to target him, so she simply pierced this layer of paper, which means that Liu Sanyan is going to have a showdown, so what is his backhand?
Before I knew it, the atmosphere in the tomb became tense, and the scene became a little weird, and I was a conservative and the most passive one with marijuana.
Liu San's eyes were cloudy, and I could see that his spirit was very concentrated, and he was in a state of riot at any time.
Miss Luo also had a hard time making a choice, leaning on a stone pillar. Her guys also deliberately kept their distance from Miss Luo, if it was really Miss Luo who attacked Lao Gen, no matter what the reason was, it would chill their hearts somewhat.
Only Xiao Mu seemed to be out of the way, sitting on a statue behind me.
He patted me, pointed to Lao Gen's body not far away, and said, "It's petrified." ”
I didn't understand what he meant, I knew before that after being bitten by a bloody corpse, the corpse poison would make the corpse petrified, and finally become like a stone, like the bloody corpse killed by Xiaomu, the body is similar to a stone.
This old root has also been poisoned by corpses, and it is normal for corpses to be petrified after death.
Seeing that I hadn't understood yet, Xiao Mu patted the statue under his buttocks again, and I suddenly realized, that is to say, these are not statues at all, but are all made after the death of the bloody corpse?
In other words, the blood corpse is petrified into a statue after death, and the same is true of the old root. That is to say, the original seven statues here were killed here after the corpse transformation, and the old root corpse was not killed, but was put in a coffin.
Assuming that all this was directed by Miss Luo, she should know that if I saw the coffin, I would definitely not open the coffin alone, and if it was Xiaomu who opened the coffin, Lao Gen would not be able to help Xiaomu. Excluding me and Xiaomu, other people are likely to open the coffin without authorization when they see the coffin, and then when they see Lao Gen and see that he is still breathing, they will subconsciously pull him out, then they are likely to be injured by Lao Gen, the same corpse poison.
If it weren't for Xiao Mu's presence and knowing that I could detoxify the corpse, the person behind the scenes would have thought that he would definitely die if he was poisoned by the corpse.
The premise of this guess is that the person behind the scenes must know the blood corpse poison very well, and use the corpse poison to get rid of someone, but Miss Luo obviously didn't know this just now, otherwise she would not have risked the corpse poison herself, jumped on Lao Gen's back, and was injured by Lao Gen.
Even if Miss Luo entered the tomb and knew that I could detoxify the poison of the Hell Ants, I could also detoxify the corpse, and there was no need to hurt that sensitive part.
That means it won't be Miss Luo, but there are so many people, who will it be?
It's not Miss Luo, it's not Xiaomu, it's not Liu Sanyan and his gang, could it be that someone else secretly followed up?
I shuddered at the thought of this, if it was someone behind the scenes, this person must have been following us for a long time, knowing exactly where we are going, and should know the tomb well.
I secretly made up for it, if someone hid in the shadows and saw us enter the tomb, and then followed us, they immediately attracted the hell ants to fill the hole and block our retreat.
When he drove away the Hell Ants and hid in the labyrinth, when we took the bait, it was very likely that the man released the bloody corpse, and then the two of them were unlucky.
After he saw that Lao Gen was injured by the bloody corpse, he subdued Lao Gen and finally stuffed Lao Gen into the coffin.
If this speculation is true, then the person in the dark should know this ancient tomb very well, hell ants, labyrinths, blood corpses, burial chambers, etc., as if everything is in his hands, and we are invisibly dragged here by him.
If that person knows our destination, he should also know our purpose, then what is his purpose?
Kill us? If this is the case, there are two possibilities: the first is that he can't do us on the surface, that is, his strength does not allow it, so he can only secretly attack and weaken our strength one by one. Second, he can attract hell ants, but he can't drive hell ants, otherwise he will directly drive hell ants to pounce, and it is estimated that few people will not survive.
So he can't accomplish this goal for a while, which means that we don't have to be too afraid of him.
Since he can't kill us, then his goal will be to prevent us from finding the Flower Pattern, and as long as we can't find the Flower of the Other Bank, this trip will be in vain.
I remembered that Miss Luo had told me to pay more attention before going to the grave, it should be that she had a premonition, but she was not sure to find out the person in the secret.
With this premise, it can be deduced that the person in the secret should be someone known to Miss Luo, and the secret report of Miss Luo's father Luo Zhenghua cannot be seen by many people, and the people who have seen it should be from Miss Luo's family.
In this way, it is easy to deduce the true purpose of the person in the secret, he just wants to prevent Miss Luo from finding the other side of the flower map to save Luo Zhenghua, it would be better if he could easily kill Miss Luo, this kind of family power struggle plot is basically whoever gains the most is suspicious, I am not interested in guessing the identity of that person.
I have some sympathy for Miss Luo, her father's life and death are unknown, but there are still people in the family who prevent her from saving her, this kind of coldness and anger must be uncomfortable, if it is an ordinary woman, she will probably cry angrily.
What I'm worried about now is that since that person is so familiar with the ancient tomb, will he have already destroyed the flower map on the other side?
When I explained the matter to them, Miss Luo said with certainty: "No, my father doesn't know the specific situation, he only knows that this tomb should exist, and it is impossible to find it easily." ”
Although Miss Luo's tone is very sure, I am not very relieved, judging from Miss Luo's performance all the way, she knows a lot about the situation of this ancient tomb, and compared with the person in the secret, she obviously knows too little, maybe the thing has been destroyed.
There is also a possibility that she knows a lot, and damn it is that she refuses to explain everything, although this possibility is low, but on Miss Luo, I maintain my attitude, this woman is too deep.
Anyway, it's all here, and you must look for it, maybe that person is not completely destroyed? Maybe the man really didn't find it?
Someone threw a few cold light sticks into the tomb, and the tomb was much brighter.
But this tomb is really empty, judging from some traces, there should have been a lot of burial goods, but unfortunately all of them were emptied, which made Liu Sanyan and the others extremely annoyed and frustrated.
The whole burial chamber is in the shape of a "convex" character, the upper part of the coffin is slightly smaller, eight meters wide, and the lower part is about ten meters wide.
The tomb road we came in was in the lower half, and the tomb door was sealed and covered with a tap stone, which means that the labyrinth was dug through later, so it was a little strange, why did the tomb robbers dig a hole into a labyrinth? Could it be that digging a thief hole and digging out a sense of ritual?
If it wasn't dug by tomb robbers, why did the owner of the tomb go straight to the main burial chamber when he repaired the tomb?
After investigation, Liu Sanyan concluded: "The labyrinth was dug by the owner of the tomb, but it did not go directly to the main tomb, but was later dug directly through the labyrinth by the predecessors. ”
"There is a saying in this labyrinth called 'Nine Tricks Exquisite Turn', which encloses the main burial chamber and is not connected to the main burial chamber at all. It is difficult to find the way to enter the labyrinth, so you have to dig to find the main burial chamber. Think about it, you can't even feel the direction, how can you dig? The more you dig, the more likely it is to collapse. Liu Sanyan patted me, gave me a thumbs up, and said: "But the predecessors who dug this thief hole are amazing, and they can accurately find the place closest to the main tomb in the maze to shovel, and they are definitely masters." ”
I said, "Then it seems that the owner of this tomb is more merciful, and he can still get out safely if he can't dig up the tomb." ”
"Kindness fart." Liu Sanyan snorted and said, "We are fateful, haven't you heard that many people died more than 30 years ago?" It is estimated that the traps in the maze have been unplugged by them. And just like that, there are hell ants and blood corpses, do you say there are such merciful ones? ”
Also, people have been dead for hundreds or thousands of years, and we still want to pick him out so unvirtuously, can we kindly let us go?
The walls of the tomb should be full of murals, but after the last batch of people opened them, the paintings have been seriously oxidized, and now there is nothing to see, only some traces remain.
I also learned some common sense about ancient tombs, and the general murals are about the glorious deeds and activities of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and some more mysterious beliefs, worship totems or something. The frescoes are the main and direct clue to the identity of the tomb owner, and no one will scribble something strange and inconsequential in their tomb.
Usually when the tomb is closed, the tomb builder will light the lantern, and when the lamp burns out the oxygen in the tomb, it will automatically extinguish, and the tomb will become a vacuum, and the contents can be kept for a long time.
It is obviously impossible to find a breakthrough point from the mural, but since Miss Luo's father asked us to come here to find the flower map on the other side, that is to say, the group of people more than 30 years ago did not take it away, and it is impossible for Luo Zhenghua not to know that after the tomb is opened, without professional protection, the mural will be seriously damaged.
That is to say, the flower picture of the other side is not painted, but carved.
A few people searched for it in detail, and they didn't even let go of the top of the tomb in the corner, but unfortunately there was nothing.
"Could it not be in the main burial chamber?" Liu Sanyan asked.
Miss Luo shook her head and said, "I don't know, the secret report only says to go to the 'Nine Turns of the Underworld' to find the flower pattern on the other side." ”
"Nine Turns of the Underworld?" I asked curiously, "Is that the name of this ancient tomb?" ”
Miss Luo nodded and said: "Generally, the name of the ancient tomb will be named after the first person to find it, more than thirty years ago, that group of people said that this place was too dangerous, encountered nine major dangers, and suffered heavy casualties, so they called this place the Nine Turns of the Underworld." ”
I can't help but think that the hell ant is one, the blood corpse is two, and the labyrinth is three, so what will be the sixth? Are they all broken?
Fortunately, we were not the first batch of people to come in, otherwise we would not have enough teeth for this ancient tomb, and we really deserve the name of "Difu".
Saying that, Miss Luo handed us a secret report, which was indeed very brief, and did not write what they had experienced, only said that they were trapped in the water city, and asked Miss Luo to take people to the Nine Turns Difu to find the flower pattern on the other side within a week, and then go to Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang to find a person named Tamuti, and leave a phone number, saying that he would guide Miss Luo.
This is really a fatal task, the clues provided are too sketchy, we don't know what the other side of the flower looks like, how to find it?
After reading the marijuana, he suddenly said: "Do you think that the other side flower will be engraved on the coffin and burned by us?" ”
This crow's mouth is really possible, the other side of the flower usually has two metaphors, one death and one new life, it is very possible to depict it on the coffin, and it is also strange that we were too anxious at that time, and we burned it without paying attention to it.
But the coffin hasn't burned all yet, we quickly put the rest together, the more we look at it, the more cold it becomes, the inside of this damn coffin is really carved something, but it's already incomplete.
However, the coffin should not be engraved with a map, from the incomplete, it should be a map, Liu Sanyan excitedly said that it must be a treasure map.
But even a treasure map is useless, not to mention that it is now very mutilated, from the Han Dynasty to the present thousands of years, the landform has changed very seriously, even if the map is complete, it may not be found.
Hemp angrily threw away the wooden board in his hand and said, "Do you say that the owner of this tomb is lacking in heart, and carved the treasure map on the coffin board, do you want people to end his coffin board one by one?" ”
Liu Sanyan scolded with a smile: "Everyone is gone, and you are still worried about the coffin board?" No matter how powerful the mechanism you set up, as long as people come in, they will leave you pants? ”
His words sparked a flash of inspiration and gave me an important reminder.
People are gone?! What about the owner of the tomb lying in the coffin?
The corpse statues on the ground here are all wearing modern clothes, and it is impossible for them to be the owner of the tomb, if the person secretly hid the old roots in the coffin, what about the original corpse?
"It may have been taken away thirty years ago." Liu Sanyan said.
I said negatively: "Impossible, the people here are all petrified by the corpse poison, and it is very likely that the owner of the tomb is also corpsed, what are they doing with a bloody corpse?" ”
Miss Luo said, "Could it be the bloody corpse you killed earlier?" ”
She was talking about the first bloody corpse we had encountered, but it wasn't possible, it was really old, it was the kind of armor-like garment, but it was badly rotten, and at first I thought it was a small iron chain, which should be corroded chain mail-like armor.
If the bloody corpse is the owner of the tomb, then according to Xiao Mu's speculation, he should subconsciously return here after eating that guy, instead of going to the coffin in the ear chamber.
It can't be the whim of the owner of the tomb who wants to change the coffin to sleep, right?
We hurriedly ran to the coffin, Liu Sanyan scraped some gray powder with a shovel, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is an empty coffin, you see, this is antiseptic sand, it is fine sand soaked in sheep brains, and then fried with mercury, sprinkled on the corpse can have an antiseptic effect, but the antiseptic sand will gradually turn black after absorbing the corpse gas, and there is no one in the coffin, indicating that no one has been lying down." ”
Marijuana asked suspiciously: "Since it is an empty coffin, why are you sprinkling antiseptic sand?" ”
Liu Sanyan scolded with a smile: "Maybe it's to show off your wealth, I'm not the owner of the tomb, I'll help you ask after the third master I'm a hundred years old." ”
Xiao Mu looked at it and said, "This is not antiseptic sand, it is the powder of the corpse falcon." ”
Dead Falcons? I almost forgot about it.
This kind of thing is so evil that Uncle Ercai crawled out of his stomach at the beginning, and Professor Wu, who had always been calm and comfortable at that time, was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he ordered us to shoot directly with guns.
And Professor Wu also said that of course, he found this time because the villagers picked up the corpse cocoon of a corpse falcon, and a corpse falcon almost wiped out a village.
Then this is obviously a fake coffin, and when the tomb robbers arrive here, opening the coffin will alarm the corpse falcons, and the consequences will be unimaginable. And these statues may have been tricked.
So since it's a fake coffin, where is the real coffin? Did those people find the real coffin?
Miss Luo said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the grave is thousands of miles away, and the truth and falsehood will always accompany each other', the fake coffin is here, and the real coffin must also be in this tomb." ”
This tomb is so big, I have found all the places I can find, and it is impossible not to see such a large coffin.
Xiao Mu frowned, reached out and touched the tomb wall, and walked slowly along the tomb wall, and we all couldn't help but hold our breath and look at him. When he opened the thief hole, he saw his ability beyond ordinary people, and he knew where the weak point was when he touched it with his hand.
But when Xiaomu touched it, he finally shook his head, and we let out a sigh of loss, it seems that there is no dark room or anything like that.
I remembered that Miss Luo just said the sentence "The grave is thousands of miles away, and the truth and falsehood will always accompany you", as if I had seen it in the Feng Shui base set recorded by my grandfather, but I was not impressed, and the things in it were too obscure and difficult to understand.
It seems to say that there is a mirror image in Feng Shui, that is, two opposites, one yin and one yang, one death and one life.
This burial chamber is also divided into upper and lower, but it is large and small asymmetrical, which does not conform to the theory of mirror image. Did the owner of the tomb not bury him according to the mirror feng shui?
Will the main coffin really be pulled away by the upper batch?
I have a problem with thinking about the problem, that is, I will walk involuntarily, accidentally walk to the steps, and the center of gravity is unstable when I step on the empty foot, and I fall and eat. The patio was so close to the steps that I rolled straight into it.
"Yuanwa, are you okay?" Marijuana reached out worriedly to pull me.
I waved my hand and said it's okay, got up and sat next to the patio, still pondering, this mirror is not right, the patio is in the lower half, the size is asymmetrical, if you want to establish a mirror feng shui, then you have to dig a patio in the upper half, but how can there be two patios for construction? Doesn't this leak?
Thinking of this, I slapped my head, I really fell into the pit and my brain was stupid, I can't go up and down, but the left and right are right.
As soon as the thinking changes, everything is clear, if you draw a vertical line from the middle, this mirror feng shui will be right.
Since the mirror feng shui is right, then we need to find the dividing line of yin and yang, since there is only one coffin here, if there is another coffin in this tomb, it must be the same as this fake coffin.
The coffin is not large and can be transported through the labyrinth, but the outer two layers of coffins will definitely not be transported out unless they are dismantled.
If the last batch of people pulled out the real coffin, the two outer coffins must have remained in the tomb, and it is impossible for them to dismantle the two outer coffins of the real coffin, and the two coffins of the fake coffin remained. And the golden silk nanmu is indeed precious, but after all, it is a wooden thing thousands of years ago, and it must rot quickly when it is pulled out, and no matter how precious it is, it will become rotten wood.
Then, there should be a burial chamber like this one, and it is impossible to build another tomb with the same tomb next to it. Not to mention whether the tomb owner has the financial and material resources, this is a crime with mirror feng shui, and the truth and falsehood will always be accompanied by the same tomb.
