Chapter 466: Strange Iron Plate
I have heard of this Yuwenkai, who was an expert in urban planning and construction engineering in the Sui Dynasty, who presided over the construction of Daxing City, the new capital of the Sui Dynasty, and Luoyang City, the eastern capital, which set a model for the architecture of the capital city of later generations. Covering an area of 84.1 square kilometers, Sui Daxing City can be called the world's first city, and the focus is that it took only 9 months to build, which is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.
And not only urban architecture, Yu Wenkai is also proficient in water conservancy engineering, he dug the Guangtong Canal, a total length of more than 300 miles, connecting Daxing City, Weishui and the Yellow River, which not only facilitates the transportation of water, but also irrigates farmland.
However, the most powerful is not Yu Wenkai, but his great-grandson Yu Wenmao, it is said that this person is studious and inquisitive, set the strengths of each family, in the early years he visited famous teachers around the world, not only proficient in all kinds of building techniques, but also has a deep attainment in the skill of the mechanism, and proficient in feng shui, and has also repaired a lot of ancient tombs.
Looking at the stele in front of us, we were silent for a while, for the Yuwen family, the tomb robbers have always been in awe of three points, there are six non-thieves in the jargon of the inverted fight, the first three of which are that Lu Bangong loses and does not steal, the Mo family does not touch, and the Yuwen family does not enter.
The reason is that if you encounter the tombs built by these three families, they generally don't go back to steal them, the reason is that these three families are too proficient in the tricks of the organs, and the ancient tombs built by their hands are mostly dead, and they can get in and out.
And for the Yuwen family, the seventh master knows more than me, only to hear him say, "I remember when I was in the northeast, I also encountered the ancient tomb built by the Yuwen family, several old-timers went in the morning and came out in the evening, all of them returned empty-handed, more than a dozen people went in, only three came out, these seniors are all good hands in the inverted fighting world, among which Zhang Wuxing's grandfather and uncle are also among them, the construction method of the Yuwen family is ......"
The seventh master told us a lot in one breath, but the most important thing is the nine-character mantra at the back, which is also the tradition that the Yuwen family has been adhering to when building the ancient tomb.
Can't find it, can't open it, can't take it away.
All the ancient tombs that the Yuwen clan is responsible for building are definitely built around these nine words, and there are so many hidden crossbows during the period, not to mention that there is no need to say more.
The seventh master slowly stood up, shone around with a flashlight, and found that in the northwest direction of us, about less than three meters, there was a stone wall with lines.
This attracted our attention, and walked towards the stone wall, and when we arrived in front of the stone wall, we found that the raised pattern on the stone wall turned out to be an iron disc! The patterns carved on the stone walls around the iron plate are very intriguing.
Judging from the carving method of relief, the relief of the whole stone wall can not be regarded as a fine product, that is to say, it has little artistic value, many lines are not even completed, this relief must be just a blank, not after fine polishing, but it is such a stone wall full of reliefs, the iron plate inlaid in the middle, the workmanship is very exquisite, almost every line on the iron plate, have been repeatedly polished and carved, not only that, the iron plate is also coated with a thin layer of butter to prevent corrosion, so carefully arranged, and the carvings around the stone wall, it seems incompatible.
I approached the iron plate, looked carefully, and found that the iron plate was divided into three parts from the inside to the outside, each part of the carving is different, the outermost part is a relief technique, carved with a strange animal!
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, in the traditional Chinese relief animals, I can almost recite out, what Pixiu lynx, I remember, but this animal, but very rare, the carving technique is also relatively abstract, for a while I can't see what it is.
"Seventh Master, what do you think this thing is?"
The seventh master leaned over and took a closer look, and soon said, "犼".
"Huh?" I was surprised.
This kind of thing is not common, there are many sayings about it, there is a record of one that it is the nemesis of the dragon family, good to eat borneol, and there is a folk saying that "one can fight three dragons and two Jiao", the saying.
However, the place where such a thing appeared should never be in an ancient tomb! This kind of ancient mythical beast should appear on the Huabiao of the palace, and there are two stone slings sitting facing south on the Huabiao in front of the Tiananmen Gate Tower that I have seen, which is called "Wangdi Gui". It is said that they watched the emperor's foreign tours, and if the emperor did not return from a long tour, they called the emperor to return quickly and take care of political affairs.
And the two stone slings behind the city tower, then sit facing the north, called "looking at the emperor out", their division of labor is different, is to monitor the emperor's behavior in the palace, if the emperor lives deep in the palace, ignoring the government, they will urge the emperor to go out of the palace, and observe the situation.
It is a sacred beast that can compete with imperial power, how can it appear in the ancient tomb?
At this moment, the Seventh Master's eyes lit up, and he said, "This iron disc is not from the ancient tomb!" ”
His words made me a little confused, and he said, "Not from the ancient tomb?" What do you mean? ”
The seventh master looked at the surrounding environment, then shook his head again, and said to himself, "No, it shouldn't be." ”
The seventh master's back and forth words confused me, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Seventh Master, you said. ”
The Seventh Master thought for a while and said, "This iron disc really shouldn't be something in the ancient tomb, in other words, we shouldn't be in the ancient tomb, but in a huge underground palace, but ...... But the surrounding layout is clearly the same as the ancient tomb, who would build the palace like the ancient tomb? Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless this ancient tomb is built according to the appearance of the palace, this ancient tomb should be exactly the same as the palace that the owner of the tomb made during his lifetime!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp, the ancient tomb is the same as the palace before I was alive? Isn't that big?
If so, where would the main burial chamber be?
The seventh master frowned, lowered his head and thought about something, I saw that he looked more serious, so he didn't say anything more, for fear of interrupting his train of thought.
At this moment, the abnormal noise started again, and I didn't have to react, I just felt that my feet were empty, and the whole person chased down.
"I'm rubbing! Ah......h
I kicked desperately with my hands and feet, trying to grasp something that could support my body, but I found that it was pitch black, and the surrounding stone walls were extremely smooth, and just when I was desperate, suddenly a thin soft object fell on my chest.
At this time, I didn't care much, so I quickly grabbed it in my hand, and at this moment, my falling body suddenly stopped, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be a climbing rope.
"Lao Bai, are you okay?" Huzi's voice came from overhead.
I looked up and saw Huzi pulling a climbing rope in one hand, half-cut through a square stone cave.
"It's okay, the fuck scared me to death!" At this time, I reacted, it turned out that the position I was standing in happened to be the entrance to the grotto, and I didn't know what mechanism I had encountered, the cover of the grotto entrance suddenly opened, and I fell in without a quick reaction.
Huzi pulled the rope upwards and pulled me up from the grotto with great effort.
At this time, I sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and the feeling of falling just now had not eased up, and I saw that the seventh master had begun to study the patterns on the iron disc.
"Seventh Master, have you found anything?" I stood up, quickly came to the side of the seventh master, stretched out my hand and touched the iron plate.
The Seventh Master shook his head and said, "This pattern is too strange, I've never seen it before." ”
At this moment, I suddenly smelled a smell of blood, and quickly took out a flashlight and shone it around, but I didn't find anything strange.
But the smell of blood is getting heavier and heavier, as if it is wafting in front of me, and it can't be dispersed.
"Do you smell blood?" I asked hurriedly.
Huzi and Wang Chuyi nodded again and again, and said, "I heard it just now, but I couldn't find where it came from." ”
I looked around carefully, and finally my eyes fell on the iron plate in front of me.
Could it be that the smell of blood is coming from this iron plate? So I put my nose close to the iron plate and sniffed it carefully, only to feel an extremely pungent smell of blood coming from the iron plate, and inhaling such a violent smell of blood made me nauseous for a while, and I almost vomited.
"It's this iron plate, and the smell of blood comes from this iron plate." I covered my nose and pointed to the plate.
As soon as my voice fell, the seventh master's body suddenly trembled, and then quickly approached the iron plate, and slashed on the iron plate with his hand.
Seventh Master: "Not good! What blood! ”
"Blood!?" Wang Chuyi and Huzi asked in surprise at the same time.
The seventh master put the finger that crossed the iron plate under his nose and sniffed it, and said with a gloomy face, "Yes, it's blood, someone has poured a lot of blood on the iron plate, and more than once, this blood is a layer of dry, and another layer is poured, so I don't know how many times it has been poured to accumulate so thick." With that, the Seventh Master took out his saber and scraped off a layer of black-brown paint-like blood on the surface of the iron plate.
Then he pointed to the lines on the surface of the iron plate, and said, "No wonder I haven't seen this kind of pattern!" These are not lines at all, but blood grooves! It's for blood drainage! This is not an ordinary iron plate, it is a sacrificial plate! ”
As soon as the words fell, the seventh master took out the kettle and began to pour water on the iron plate.
The seventh master poured very carefully, under the light of the flashlight, the water just poured on the iron plate immediately turned dark red, and there seemed to be some yellow dots on the surface of the iron plate in the antique flashing, the lines around the iron plate quickly began to expand, and the water turned around the iron plate.
Seeing this, I am almost certain that these lines are the blood grooves that the seventh master said, and they are all designed, and the way the water flows on the blood groove simply has a strange and harmonious beauty.
Just when I couldn't take my eyes off the direction of the water flow, I saw that the water seemed to have life, blooming a wonderful pattern of peony on the iron plate, and then after rotating three times, it quickly gathered to the middle of the iron plate, and then disappeared, as if there was some special suction in the middle of the iron plate, and the water was sucked in without a drop falling on the ground.
