Chapter 119: The Five Floors Are Special
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds before they reacted.
Brother Long was the first to rush over and said, "No, why did you see the stone pillar in the middle of this layer here again?" β
You ask me, who do I ask? I looked around, and this layer was a bit strange indeed.
First of all, there is the space on this floor, which seems to be larger than the one below, and there are windows open all around, which is strange to look at.
Wait, take a look around, and then I'll come over, it's not just a big problem, this layer is a circle.
The ones below are all square, and the squares in the circle will shrink by a large amount no matter how you calculate them.
But this floor is different, it just feels bigger than the bottom because it is made in a circle, and there are windows on the surrounding stone walls.
Damn, I knew there were windows here, and I might have climbed up directly from below, although this is a five-story height, but I think Brother Long and they must have a way.
After thinking about it for a while, forget it, there are many such mechanisms, each of which is interlocking, and if one is not clicked, then maybe what's going on.
"Brother Wen, what do you want?" A pair of gentle hands took my arm.
It was Zhang Siqiao, I smiled at her and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable, this layer has become like this, there must be some reason, everyone be careful." β
After everyone answered, I saw that Fourth Master Wang had already walked towards the window.
There shouldn't be anything over there.
But I still have to be careful, I looked around, and the height of this floor is about five meters, which looks quite high.
There is a huge Bagua figure overhead, and when you walk to the edge of the Bagua circle, you can also see a stone crevice, which indicates that this Bagua map is very likely to rotate.
Looking further down the ground, the ground is also a gossip shape, but it corresponds to the top.
And at the poles of yin and yang, it is also made into the shape of a rotating button, which is the same as what you see from the outside.
I immediately called Brother Long and Brother Tiger, and asked them to keep an eye on those two dots first, so as not to be stepped on, this is the key, in case something is released again, it will be troublesome.
Brother Long and Brother Tiger immediately went over to guard it in person.
I walked towards a window, and there was a window here, and through the light outside, I should be able to see what was going on outside.
But when I walked to the window, I realized how naΓ―ve my idea was.
Although there is some bright light, this is under the stone mountain, and it is pitch black outside, and you can only see the mountain in the distance.
"You can't see anything when you look at it this way." An old voice came from behind him.
Fourth Master Wang, he came behind me.
I glanced back at him, and he actually smiled at me and said, "Now we are still in a state of cooperation, although your strength in mechanical skills is stronger than mine, but you are still almost good at this kind of formation tomb style, you can find it from the window over there." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the window where he had first looked.
I nodded, Wang Siye is right, the so-called ruler is short, and the inch is long.
If I just say that these organs correspond, because I have the I Ching left by my father, coupled with my own understanding, I can indeed be higher than Wang Siye.
But this is the first time I have come down to the tomb, and more importantly, this special tomb is different from what I imagined.
Wang Siye is higher than me in this regard, and he can also use the technique of skillful springs, and when combined with these things, the natural level is a little higher than mine.
This is also something that Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao do not have.
I walked over to the window he was pointing to, and as I looked out of the window, I immediately gasped.
From here, you can clearly see the situation outside.
The sight we saw below at the beginning was completely wrong.
From below, the stone pillar in the middle is the largest and the highest, and according to my guess, it is divided into nine layers.
The stone pillars around are all smaller and shorter, and I just roughly calculated them, that is, the height of the four floors.
So at the beginning, I thought that the eight formations of the mechanism were four layers, and the left and right ends were symmetrically formed into eight formations.
Because if you go up any further, there is nothing left from the fifth floor.
In this way, where did the eight formations come from?
Although this does not conform to the real nine-layer eight-array layout, because of the limited space, it is impossible to really achieve that kind of eight-array.
But now that I look out the window, I realize how wrong I was.
The reason why the wisdom of the ancients did not dare to imagine it was because they really made eight arrays, and not only the eight trigrams were assigned, but also made the nine-palace number formula that amazed me.
The position we are standing in now is the position of five, and the level is divided into nine layers, which is the number of ninety-five.
Five is the middle point, and when I stand here and look out, I can clearly see the short stone pillars below.
Those stone pillars are divided into eight in total, but according to the route we have taken, these eight stone pillars, that is, the number of the four trigrams, are only divided into yin and yang, and they are symmetrically opened.
We walked four floors below, and we were all among the eight stone pillars.
And this layer, our periphery, should be a large rocky mountain.
I don't know what is special about this stone mountain, but if you look up, you can see eight short stone pillars, which should be the same height as the one in the middle of us.
We are below, because of the obstruction of the mountain, we can't see this above, but we can see it from this fifth floor.
"Amazing, this is the real Nine Layers and Eight Formations. Ninety-five counts the middle of the sky, and the eight formations are divided into two sides. Fourth Master Wang said behind me.
That's right, there is also this sentence in the Father's I Ching, and I didn't know what it meant at first, but now I understand.
The nine layers in the middle are the nine houses, so five is in the middle, and from the bottom to the top, there are the other eight numbers from one to nine.
And the eight stone pillars around are divided into yin and yang, plus two layers of gossip pillars, this is sixty-four hexagram statues.
The outer gossip and the inner nine palaces once again formed the number seventy-two.
I wiped the sweat from my head, are these Song people so ingenious in building a tomb?
"Brother Wen." Lu Xiaodan called me at this time and said, "We don't seem to have much time, what are we going to do?" β
"If you don't have to wait, you have to wait." I had no choice but to reply, "The current situation is unknown, we can't rush forward, I'll discuss it with Fourth Master Wang, see it clearly, it's really not good, even if we go back, it's too late to retreat now." β
Fourth Master Wang also nodded, judging from the current situation, we know the most terrifying part of this tomb, so we have reached an agreement.
I called Zhang Shihong again, he is also a master in this area, but Wang Siye said that Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao and the two people he brought with him all have experience in going to the tomb, let them listen, but don't talk yet, if there is anything to add, summarize it, and finally ask questions.
I thought it would be a good idea, so I took everyone to the other side and sat down.
This time, it was impossible to map the situation here, so we had to take out the paper and draw it ourselves.
"Xiaowen, is there something wrong?" Watching me draw, Brother Long also asked anxiously.
I nodded, and when the picture was just drawn, I told him about our current situation, and then said, "In this way, this fifth floor should be a threshold, that is, there should be some special places here." β
Wang Siye nodded, he didn't speak, other people here really didn't dare to say anything, everyone looked at me, hoping that I could continue to speak.
"In other words, this fifth layer, what we want to open is not the position of yin and yang gossip, as for what to open, I don't know yet."
"I think I know." Wang Siye said.
Now everyone looked at Wang Siye, and when I saw that Lu Xiaodan wanted to speak at this time, I immediately gestured at her and asked her not to squeak.
In this regard, I am indeed inferior to Fourth Master Wang, I still have to admit it, as soon as Lu Xiaodan speaks, sometimes he will resist Fourth Master Wang.
Fourth Master Wang obviously saw my movements, and glanced back at Lu Xiaodan.
"Don't look at me, I just want to ask Fourth Master Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it, we're in a hurry." It seems that Lu Xiaodan's reaction is quite fast, at least this sentence is not aggressive.
Wang Siye snorted lightly and said, "Little girl, you must listen to me in this regard." β
I immediately nodded and took over: "Fourth Master Wang, I am not as good as you in the affairs of the tomb, listen to you in this regard, you just say it." β
Wang Siye is probably a little more comfortable at this time, he was pressed by me in the early stage, and now that I am soft, he will naturally say it.
Sure enough, Wang Siye pointed to the open space next to him and said, "Xiaowen has observed it very carefully, but have you observed anything yet?" β
As he spoke, he took the pen from my hand and made a few more strokes on it.
I was stunned for a moment, no, I didn't pay attention to what the other people thought, but rushed straight to one of the windows, then grabbed a wolf-eye flashlight and shone it in that direction.
It's a passageway, at least it looks like this.
This passage is more like the kind of passage that is commonly used in airports to get on the plane directly.
It's a big square tube-like thing.
I gasped, I really didn't notice that there was a way into the stone wall on one side.
Sitting back again, I looked at the three passages and said, "Fourth master, there are only three here, isn't it the right way?" β
Fourth Master Wang immediately shook his head and said, "No, there is no wrong way, this is the right way, don't forget, we are now on the fifth floor, if we want to make up the number of eight with five, it must be three places." β
"Why not nine?"
"Ninety-nine will be one, and only eighty-nine is the number of seventy-two, which is the boundary between seventy-two and seventy-two."
My head immediately exploded, thousands of worlds?
