Chapter 49: The Passage
"I also thought this thing was very important at the time, so I helped you keep it."
Seeing Chen Xiaodonkey standing under the oil lamp and starting to fiddle, Monk Xiao explained more.
Chen Xiaodonkey ignored him.
There was a little problem with the compass, the Tianxin pointer in the middle kept circling, and the plate surface of the middle and outer disks was dialed so that the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, and then he saw the soil sticking to it, he estimated that Monk Xiao was rubbing it like this when he was drilling a hole.
It took a while to restore the two disks, and the Tianxin pointer was set in one direction, Chen Xiaodonkey thought about it, adjusted it again, and temporarily turned it into a directional pointer similar to a compass.
Monk Xiao was amazed when he looked at it.
After solving this problem, the two talked for a while, and Chen Xiaodonkey tried to guide him with words, so that he could remember some of the process of climbing here with the pangolin, but it was all in vain.
"There's one of the dumbest ways to do it." In desperation, Monk Xiao took the initiative to mention, "No matter where you are now, find a direction and make a hole in the slope, you can always dig it out." ”
What a stupid way to do it! Chen Xiaodonkey rolled his eyes and said: "This is a mountainous area, although the mountains here in Shanghai are not high, but the mountains are very thick, the idea is a little back, and we will die of thirst or starvation before we go out." ”
Monk Xiao touched his bald head, of course he knew this, otherwise he would have started to do it in the current situation.
"Punching the staircase hole should be able to avoid it to a certain extent?"
The staircase hole is straight up and down. After punching it out, the thief hole looks like an upward staircase, so it is called a stair hole.
It's just that if it's in the north, this method is certainly a good method, but this is in Shanghai.
"Do you want to try how rich the underground water system is in Shanghai?" Chen Xiaodonkey said to him.
You must know that they are now about 40 meters underground, and in Shanghai, how rich the groundwater is, Chen Xiaodonkey has taught, the north is to find a place with water to dig a well, and here in Shanghai, it is to find a place without water to build a house.
There is also a folk joke here that a family made a fortune and wanted to hide treasure, so the man dug a two-meter pit in his backyard, and drowned in the last shovel.
Therefore, the probability of hitting the staircase hole, the probability of hitting the water system at the bottom will be greatly increased, once the water seeps, it will really die in the thief hole, and there is no place to run!
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then Brother Chen, you can come up with a solution?" Monk Xiao sighed again and again.
Chen Xiaodonkey ignored him, sat on the ground and closed his eyes and thought about it, and began to draw, drawing the place and direction they passed by following Jia Xibei from the lower robbery cave, and even the underground dark river was drawn, and he didn't stop until he turned into the hall.
"Hey, Brother Chen, what are you painting?" Monk Xiao came over curiously.
Chen Xiaodonkey stared at the painted pattern without raising his head and said, "Part of the structure of this tomb." ”
"Uh, so what is this dotted line that you're drawing?" Monk Xiao pointed to the part representing the dark river and the pool of the corpse pit, Chen Xiaodonkey replied impatiently, Monk Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, looked at it for a while, and said, "Tell me what kind of place this is?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey sighed, his heart was really troublesome, but he still pointed to the drawn structure and began to talk.
"This is a hall, there are mechanisms and eight burial chambers in it, and the evil man wearing the cheongsam of the former dynasty that you pretend to be in the tomb passage ran out of here, and then there is the tomb road, here is a cliff of about forty meters, and down is the river beach."
"It's not clear what is going on in the lower reaches of the dark river, but here are pools and corpse pits upstream, and behind the stone wall is a tomb road, connected to a burial chamber----- huh?"
Chen Xiaodonkey stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, rested his fingers on the burial chamber where the children's coffin was placed, and let out a soft 'huh'.
Monk Xiao listened and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey didn't speak, his fingers moved to the position of the hall at the beginning, and he drew it again before he scolded in a daze: "Deflated calf, is this really a fucking tomb?" ”
"What's the point?" Monk Xiao also seemed to see something, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "This is the Jiaolong Water Bureau, the hall above is the dragon head, I am damn it, this tomb owner has a brain problem, is it because he is afraid that he will be reincarnated?" ”
Monk Xiao said strangely: "Why do you say that? It's true that when you draw it like this, it looks like a dragon, and when you say the name, it sounds like a big picture. ”
"Big fart! Jiaolong came out of the water to cross the catastrophe and was struck by lightning, this Nima is a murderous situation! Look at this hall, although I don't know what will be in the future, but I'm sure that this is the location of the dragon's spine, from here on, it should be a tomb road through it, but there are three tombs, this is called the lock dragon spine, and the other two tombs are the locks of this dragon! ”
Chen Xiaodonkey struck twice in the direction of the three tombs, and his eyelids jumped violently.
In itself, the Jiaolong came out of the water to cross the catastrophe, as long as it could resist the past, the Jiaohua Dragon would fly out of the water completely, but as soon as the dragon's spine was locked and couldn't go up, it had to be struck by lightning all the time. From the perspective of feng shui pattern, the longer this kind of place lasts, the more fierce it will become, and the tomb owner will be so pressed that he can't reincarnate, and no one can say what it will become in the end-----
Although I know why there are three tombs in that hall, it is better not to know.
Monk Xiao should have also thought of this stubble, staring at him for a long time, "Amitabha Buddha Nenniang, this tomb should not be built by someone who has an enmity with the tomb owner, right?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey thought of another thing, and wondered: "Where did you come from?" ”
Monk Xiao shook his head and said, "It's all in the mountains, how can I describe this?" ”
I obviously don't want to talk about it.
Chen Xiaodonkey didn't ask, but this tomb is really weird. Monk Xiao said strangely: "Then again, Brother Chen, what's the point of you drawing this picture?" ”
"Of course, you want to make sure where we are now, and we can't wait here all the time to die?"
Chen Xiaodonkey drew a circle at the position of the tomb chamber and the transfer hall connecting the tomb door, and Monk Xiao mentioned it before, saying that he himself was made a hole in the tomb wall, but he didn't know which direction he came from, and after knocking himself unconscious, he went in and continued to dig, and ran here.
Drawing an upward dotted line on the side and back of the tomb, and drawing the approximate location of the possible existence of this secret room, Chen Xiaodonkey followed and asked Monk Xiao: "Can you find a way for me to get a lump of dirt?" ”
"Lumps?" Monk Xiao was puzzled.
Chen Xiaodonkey just nodded and didn't explain much.
Now to avoid the evil cult that blocked the entrance of the cave, and then find the right direction from this secret room to dig the tomb, first of all, we must determine how Monk Xiao came through the hole, whether there was a turn in the middle, and how many times he turned around.
He had just thought of a way to be roughly sure.
And the only hope of Chen Xiaodonkey is that even if he turns in the soil, he must not turn too outrageously, otherwise everything will be in vain. The only thing to be thankful for at this time is that the hole is diagonally upward, which means that the location of this secret chamber is higher than the tomb below.
Monk Xiao dug out a clod of soil on the rammed earth wall with a short knife, and rounded it as much as possible according to Chen Xiaodonkey's request, Chen Xiaodonkey walked to the entrance of the hole blocked by the big evil, forcibly looked inside with horror, and threw the clod of soil into the top of the thing's head, and then immediately closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sound of the clod rolling in the hole.
It's a bit of a turn, but the arc of the turn is not very large, and there is a falling sound before the clod finally stops.
Chen Xiaodonkey had a number in his heart, and immediately went back to re-locate the secret room on the drawing structure drawing, and by the way, he traced the direction of the hole.
"Amazing, Brother Chen, are you listening to the mountain technique?" Monk Xiao knew what this unattractive guy in front of him was doing, and he was amazed.
"What is the Listening Mountain?" Drawing a route that should be able to enter the burial chamber of the child's coffin, Chen Xiaodonkey asked strangely.
Monk Xiao said: "Just by roaring in the mountains, you can hear where there is a dungeon and where there is a crack." ”
"Stop!" Chen Xiaodonkey shook his head, he didn't know how to pick up this bull brag. Walking to the other corner of the secret room, he kicked the wall with the compass and said, "Dig from here, the slope should be the same as the slope of the dug up, and I will correct the direction." ”
