Chapter 40: Distant Speculation
This voice is Mo Daoshi.
"You, what's wrong with you?" I didn't know how to speak, and he asked, "What about the others?" ”
"Didn't they get ahead of us? And the three-seven point called the Army, what's the matter with you? What does it mean to quietly cut off the rope? Jia Ren's face was full of doubts.
I was also very puzzled in my heart, and Mo Daoist washed his face with a kettle and told us in detail about the previous events.
After we entered the cave first, he encountered the same situation as us at the staircase, and he couldn't go up or down, but Daoist Mo had his own way, and the voice-activated staircase didn't trap him for long.
After a few minutes, he quickly found the reason through the Feng Shui term 'qi'.
He told us that any qi is in spiral motion, because it is conducive to accepting the large field qi, and any local qi at a certain level is the field qi in spiral motion, which is a natural rule.
And the staircase spiraled down, according to the normal situation, the field qi should naturally be spiraling, but after his careful observation and study, he found that the qi was actually hedged in convection, which means that someone artificially changed the field qi in this place.
And according to this, he soon understood that in order to restore this place, he had to change the field qi back, and then when he sat quietly and took out the compass, because there was no movement, the compass was on the pointer and moved on its own, and then he discovered the mystery of the stairs.
That is the principle of static braking, which was expounded by the Mohists in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, adding a certain mass to change the field qi and start a certain mechanism.
After he went down the stairs, he found that his rope had been quietly cut at some point, and he was going to go up to meet us first, but at this moment he heard a scream from inside the cave, and the sound seemed to be Jia Ren's.
That's why he didn't go up to look for us, and we went to the cave next to the big spider.
"Stop, stop, my screams? The passage next door? Jia Ren frowned and asked, and Daoist Mo nodded: "Well, what I heard was indeed your voice, but when I chased it in, I found that something was wrong, because I remembered a key piece of information that I had missed before." ”
"What's the message?"
"The souls trapped on the walls of the caves."
Sure enough, I nodded and said to him, "Sanqifen was frightened crazy by those ghost shadows on the cave wall, I guess, those are the people he brought here to die unjustly." ”
"Not really, the number of human lives devoured by this hole is not something you can count with your fingers."
Daoist Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "I mentioned a conjecture to you before, there is another force here besides the Sanmiao tribe and Emperor Shun, and now it seems that it should be correct, this group of forces is indeed from the Western Regions. ”
"Sure? Tibetan? Loulan? Or is it some kind of Dawan resting in peace or something? Curious, Daoist Mo shook his head and said, "I think it should be the Western Night Kingdom." ”
Jia Ren looked confused, let alone him, even I, a person with a little ink in my stomach, was confused about this term, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I had a mention in extracurricular reading materials in high school.
The West Night Kingdom is a small country in the south of the Silk Road, also known as drifting sand, located in Yecheng County, Uygur Autonomous Region, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country's national power reached its peak, with a population of 10,000, equivalent to the population of several villages now.
"But the pinnacle was the end, and then it was destroyed by a country called Shache." I spat out all the information about the Western Night Country in my head without reservation.
Jia Ren smiled, "The name in ancient times was too casual, a country called brake, does it have to have a clutch?" ”
"You've suffered the loss of no culture in your life." I didn't bother to talk to him and said to Daoist Mo: "Even if our current location is not Jiuzhi Mountain, then it can be regarded as the Central Plains or Ancient Shu, right?" The Western Regions are far away from here, can the Western Night Kingdom get their hands on this place? ”
"There is nothing impossible, Zhang Qian can spend decades to open up a Silk Road, and it does not rule out that the people of the Western Night Kingdom have migrated here, after all, the Central Plains is a fertile land, which is the most important thing for the tribe."
I'm not engaged in history, and I can't agree or refute Daoist Mo's words, so I thought for a moment before I said, "Okay, even if the Western Night Kingdom migrates here, then what are they doing with these ghosts?" ”
"Cut, it's not simple, of course it's an invasion." Jia Ren stood up and patted his ass and said, "You think, there is already a group living in this place, and now another group wants to come here to develop, there must be conflicts."
If there is a conflict between the two barbarians, they will not sit down and sign any agreement like us, then they must just go straight to work. ”
"I think that's not only the case, but the Sanmiao tribe may have fallen into the disadvantage in the face of foreign invasion, and as a group of forces dependent on the Shun Emperor clan, their own subordinate races were attacked, so Emperor Shun naturally would not stand idly by."
Daoist Mo's addition made me gasp, "Are you saying that Emperor Shun's death in Jiuzhi Mountain was not actually to crusade against the Sanmiao tribe, but to help the Sanmiao tribe repel the invasion of the Western Night Kingdom?" ”
"This is my speculation, whether it is the Western Night Country or not, thousands of years ago this was indeed the place where the three forces fought, one group was Emperor Shun and the Sanmiao tribe, and the other group was the force from the Western Regions."
Mo Daoshi came to the final conclusion, I just feel that all this is incredible, and these things he said are not recorded in the history books at all.
"If we continue to explore, there will definitely be clues, but now the top priority is to find a few other people, Zhang Qian and that Yan Liye, how did they lose it?" He asked.
I told me what had happened before, and Daoist Mo let out a long breath, "It's not good, according to what you said, they entered this cave, but I didn't hear any movement.
There must be something hallucinating buried in the rocks of this place, and I fear that the two of them will do something fatal to kill themselves after being deluded, and besides, the man who cut my rope is still hiding in the shadows, which is dangerous. ”
By the way, the rope on Mo Daoist's waist is cut off, and the person who can do it quietly under his nose must not be careless, at least the other party's skills are very good.
"So what now?" Jia Ren asked, and Daoist Mo pondered for a while and looked at the cave wall, "Follow me to the opposite passage first, where I found some clues before." ”
