Volume 1 Kurosawa Domain Chapter 112 The Sealing God Opens the Coffin
Lu Wuyang finished the matter with three strikes and five divisions, and then ran outside the city gate, followed by everyone. I saw him come to the statue of the ghost woman in the underworld holding a bowl in one hand and a snake in the other.
At this time, there were still some scattered snakes crawling into the trench, probably the snakes were all flocking to the trench where the underground mechanism was hidden, and those human-faced monsters were extremely angry, roaring and digging holes with their claws in the tunnel entrance of the burial cave, digging the hole that was blocked by the crowd with bricks and stones.
Although they are infinitely powerful, they are also flesh and blood after all, and without these tools in everyone's hands, they should not be able to dismantle the bricks and stones on those seals for a while, so everyone is too lazy to pay attention to them.
Lu Wuyang saw that the snakes had burrowed into the ground at the other end of the trench, and there was a certain safe distance from here, so he climbed up to the statue of the ghost woman with confidence, measured the diameter of the big bowl with an iron bar-like tool, and then excitedly said "almost" on it, and asked Niu Gang to hand him the sledgehammer.
As the "pioneer" of Niu Gang, this eighteen-pound sledgehammer has always been in his hand, and when he heard Lu Wuyang asking for a sledgehammer on it, he asked disapprerovitously: "Don't you just want to knock down the rice bowl of this mother-in-law, right?" ”
After getting Lu Wuyang's affirmative answer, he didn't hand it to Lu Wuyang, and asked everyone to unload the backpacks and put them on the ground under the sea bowl.
Then I saw him standing under the sea bowl, exhaling loudly, and with a few sledgehammers, he broke the arm of the ghost woman in the underworld.
The bowl fell and fell on the rucksack.
At this point, everyone understood that he was going to use the big bowl of this ghost woman to seal the entrance of the cave.
But Lu Wuyang was not at ease, saying that the materials in the backpack were almost consumed now, so they got together and saved a backpack, if the coffin was really opened safely, they all used this backpack to hold the spiritual weapon, and they couldn't use anything else.
But the top priority is to use the aluminum alloy plate in this backpack, he is afraid that this sea bowl is not tightly stuffed when blocked, and it is easy to be destroyed by those Tocharians from the inside, so he must use this aluminum alloy plate to make the shuttle firm, and then use the iron drill to make a "railing" outside, which can be safer.
Listening to his thoughts, everyone was very impressed, but everyone studied it again, and it was necessary that after all the Tocharians entered the cave, they should also approach lightly, and then block it with lightning speed.
Otherwise, once there is a mistake and fails, they will see through the purpose, although it is not yet known how high their IQ is, but it is estimated that there will be no such opportunity.
So everyone shared the things in Li Yulan's backpack, and hammered the aluminum alloy plate in her backpack into several folds to make a shuttle shape, adjusted the equipment, took a deep breath, and walked towards the city gate with the big bowl.
The huge bronze coffin in this "Bagua Palace" still echoed with the sound of fire, and everyone walked to the entrance of the door, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tocharians were indeed no longer on the "S" shaped corridor as the dividing line.
Han Debang saw that there was no threat to his life, so he joked: "Hey, why is there no one?" It seems that these buddies may go home to sleep, or engage in some chess * card games such as 'fighting the land * master'. ”
Anyway, this is a great opportunity for everyone.
Everyone listened to the sound of the accelerating heartbeat in their chests, tiptoeing forward with the big bowl, and in front of them were Bai Yunfei, Niu Gang and Lu Wuyang, who were in charge of defense and response.
The three of them were waiting for each other, holding tools in front of them to "go to the thunder", and when they reached the edge of the island, Bai Yunfei's heart was already beating wildly as if he was about to rush out of his throat.
But nervousness was nervousness, and the planned plan of action that had been studied did not dare to be out of shape at all, and everyone first stepped lightly onto the island in one big stride, and then stood on both sides of the cave entrance.
Lu Wuyang made a gesture, and the people on the road quickly handed over the big bowl, and everyone took it and stuffed it into the cave in an instant.
Listening to the muffled sound of "dong", the large bowl was stuck into the cave by everyone, and the shape of the hole was just irregular, so that it could be stuffed more than half a meter away, but it was blocked by the uneven stones on the side wall.
At this time, they heard an angry roar from the depths of the stone cave, and everyone immediately shuddered with fright, thinking that the Tocharians had found out, so they hurriedly stuffed the treated aluminum alloy plate into the gap between the sea bowl and the stone wall, and then used a sledgehammer to nail it in, squeezing the black stone bowl firmly.
Then I saw flames suddenly rise from the gap between the bowl of the sea and the stone wall, and it must have been the Tocharians who spat fire out of the cave and attacked the people.
Niu Gang, who was wielding a sledgehammer in front of the sea bowl, immediately ignited all the clothes and pants on his body, igniting a flame, and the instant pain made him howl non-stop, and immediately turned around and jumped back to the "S" shaped corridor, constantly slapping the flames on his body.
Fortunately, his clothes and pants had just been sprayed on fire, and before they could burn, everyone helped him extinguish them.
By this time, the Tocharians had begun to attack the bowl with their hands and feet, and from time to time they were spitting fire outside, and they were roaring incessantly.
Bai Yunfei was afraid that the stone wall would not be fixed strongly, and once they knocked it open, it would be troublesome, so he desperately picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it at the iron hammer that Lu Wuyang was standing outside the stone bowl.
I don't know what the material of this blood-red rock is, it is like gentle nephrite, although it is also tight and solid, but it is much softer than ordinary granite, marble, etc., and there are many small cracks at the entrance of this round of stone caves.
More than a dozen hammers went down, and it was already nailed into it more than a slap long, but at this time, flames erupted from the cracks, and Bai Yunfei's clothes were also ignited, so he had to jump back to the road to extinguish the fire.
Then Wang Ziming and Han Debang also jumped up, picked up the sledgehammer and continued to smash the newly buried iron drill at the entrance of the cave.
In this way, the clothes of several people were burned to tatters, and only then did they nail three iron chisels to the outside of the stone bowl, making the stone bowl much more stable.
I saw the Tocharians roaring and pounding inside in a frenzied and angry way, but it seemed that they could not get out for a moment.
The crowd breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the risk of being burned to ashes by a mouthful of flames, the people finally sealed the extremely dangerous Tocharians in the cave.
But now was no time to rest, and the people, fearing that something would change over time, hurried back to the coffin again.
Everyone tried their best to stand on the side of the corridor, avoiding the high temperature of the "red fish" steaming up, and the flames that kept spinning and spewing in all directions, facing the huge bronze coffin, and began to study how to open it safely.
After studying for a long time, Old Ghost Su shook his head and said very resolutely: "This coffin, you must not open the lid directly like other coffins, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”
He firmly believes that the vicious nameless will never allow others to open the lid easily, and even if it does, it will be a trap to release great danger.
He pointed behind the big ghost sitting on the lid of the coffin and said, "That 'Kui Xing Kicking Dou Zhan Palace Life Chart' is probably the mechanism that safely opens the coffin, or the key mile." Otherwise, how could this thing be installed on the coffin? What kind of fate does it matter if everyone is dead? This is the tomb palace, and it is not a stall set up by charlatans who rely on fortune tellers to cheat money. ”
Everyone thought about it and was convinced of what Old Ghost Su said.
After all, the coffin lid can be carved with a star map, which is in line with common sense, and even that not only the star map, but any picture can be depicted on the coffin.
However, putting the astrogram plate used for fortune-telling on the coffin has no meaning, and it can only make people suspect that there is a problem.
So everyone climbed up the coffin cover, lying on both sides of the "Kui Xing Kick Dou Zhan Palace Life Chart", so as not to be injured by the flames that spit out from time to time, and then studied the so-called "Kui Xing Kick Dou Zhan Palace Life Chart", what is it used for, what is the mystery in it?
Cao Longxuan gave everyone some pointers.
It turns out that this kind of "fortune chart" is generally used in ancient times to ask for lots, play hexagrams, witch divination, divination or sacrifice, and is commonly used to deduce fortune plates.
Of course, this kind of deduction, prediction of the fortune plate can be a lot of variety, there is no fixed style, as long as you "Zhou Yi", "Bagua", "Five Elements" and other thorough research, you can make different forms of utensils according to your own needs.
And this "life chart" is obviously a deduction tool made by the anonymous person, but he depicted the Big Dipper chart here, and marked the name of this "life chart" here, it must have its deep meaning, and it may be difficult to achieve it without thinking through the subtleties and meanings of it.
Old Ghost Su said undoubtedly:
"Don't say yes, this plate must be used to open this coffin, the key is how to play with it, how to play it right, how to play it wrong, I believe you also know. But this one has no formula, and the other has no easy reasoning, arithmetic, hexagrams, and life talisman signs, and this is the same as the wrong one. ”
Everyone racked their brains and couldn't figure it out, which is in line with the saying "interlaced lines are like mountains," and the layman can only stare dryly. So the gang gathered around the plate, frowning.
Bai Yunfei looked closely, and saw that there were seven stars engraved with the Big Dipper, the "life chart" headed by Kui Xing, and the whole disc of the carved star map in the middle, the Big Dipper was in a panic, and the Kui Star was even more prominent and dazzling, and it jumped out of the posture of "Kui Xing kicking and fighting".
Below the star palace map, it is the relief of those quaint and vigorous big characters: "Kui Xing kicks the Dou Zhan Palace Natal Chart".
Around the star palace diagram, there are dense blocks of runic characters, which are obviously independent of each other, and can adjust the orientation and relationship with each other, and under it is the root pin, which is stuck in the rotatable groove of each circle, just like each block of clay movable type printing, which can be toggled vertically and horizontally at will.
The combination of several parts is a fortune teller that casts the mechanism of this life palace.
The two "experts", one old and one young, are discussing from you and me non-stop, but what makes Han Debang and Su Lao Ghost the most headache is the word "Zhan", because the specific intention is unknown, so there has been no sense of direction.
According to the literal meaning of "昝", one is a surname, but it is not appropriate to use it here, is it possible that the descendants of Yelang Kingdom in that year, the cruel tyrant who succeeded in usurping power and became king, his family is actually surnamed "Zhan"?
Although there are possibilities, the second possibility is more likely in Han Debang's analysis, that is, "the ambiguous position of time".
For example: How many people are you from? How many people eat? In the context of this word, it means "when".
As in the sentence "How many are you from?" It means, "When did you come?" It's not hard to understand.
However, the relief inscription in such a conspicuous position on the lid of this coffin must have far-reaching practical significance.
Perhaps, like the tombstone, the surname of the tomb owner can also be engraved on the coffin, in order to imply and highlight the domineering spirit of the king, and have a superstitious sense of belonging to the cycle of life.
But at this time, it seems that it should be judged more according to the interpretation of "the vague position of time", because the meaning of the word appearing in that string of names is to be combined with the "horoscope", and it cannot be to indicate the surname.
However, it is not known how the location of the time will be blurred, why it is blurred, and what the relationship between the vague time and the tomb and its owner is unknown.
