Chapter Fifty-Six: One of the Nine Palaces
Everyone was looking at me at this point, probably trying to ask me if this thing was the mechanism that led to the next level.
I had to smile wryly, how do I know, but now it seems that this is possible.
I took a few steps forward, and the shadow immediately blocked the painting, and the place immediately darkened, just an ordinary stone wall, and I couldn't see any special color when I shone it with a flashlight.
It seems that monochrome light like a flashlight is not allowed.
I took a few more steps back to let the light shine overhead, and immediately saw that the colored gemstone was exposed again.
I stared at the place and walked forward slowly, not daring to blink my eyes for fear of losing it.
When I got to the front, I touched it with my hand, and sure enough, I felt that the small piece of stone was different, as if it could be pressed inside.
I pressed down hard, and I heard a "click" sound on the top of my head, which was coming from above, and I looked up and saw that the crystal on top actually turned.
I immediately dodged away, let the light hit the wall, and printed out some words, those were ancient seal characters, I couldn't understand it at all, but Zhang Shihong immediately rushed over.
The guy was holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, and quickly traced down the words, but said nothing. I asked, "Do you know how to translate?" ”
Zhang Shihong said: "This must be done in accordance with the translated books, because this kind of ancient character, if you are short of one word, the meaning may be much worse." ”
I know this, because from the ancient text, their speech is sometimes really simple, some words are formed in just a few words, and the meaning of the ancient text is even more difficult to guess, for example, the wife in the ancient text refers to two people.
Of course, I'll only go so far, and I don't understand any more profound knowledge.
Zhang Shihong's speed was very fast, but the crystal seemed to turn faster, and when he just roughly copied it, the crystal light changed again.
Finally, it turned into a red light, and as soon as the red light shone on the stone wall, the stone wall immediately changed, making a "boom" sound, and a gap appeared in front of our eyes.
The gap grew bigger and bigger, like two sliding doors, slowly opening, and a cold wind blew in, and it was late at night outside, and at this time, we were in a doorway.
After the stone wall was fully opened, it was enough for two people to enter, and Brother Long quickly stepped forward, reached out and touched the stone wall and said, "This stone door seems to be moving." ”
"I said there is a time limit, we have to speed up." I said.
Brother Long looked at it and said, "Ruhu, Shihong, you take two people to stay, in case the stone gate is closed, we still have someone who can find a way to rescue." ”
I nodded, this is also a good way, Brother Long judged the current situation in such a short period of time, and made the most reasonable arrangements.
The four of us were left, and immediately moved forward, only to see the opening of the stone wall, and there was a stone path about ten meters long outside, and through the stone road, a thick cable chain appeared in front of us.
The ropeway really rises into the stone house on the left side of the cylindrical shape in the distance, but it is not far away.
I've had experience last time, and this chain is much thicker than the previous one, so I think it should be able to withstand a few of us going up together.
Brother Long had already taken the lead, and I was following closely, and we didn't know when the stone gate would close, so we had to hurry, so we were all very fast.
When this kind of rope chain is thickened, it is better to climb, because the hand grabs down, and it is just in the ring of the rope chain.
It would take about ten minutes, and we rushed to the opposite side.
This place is also a stone corridor first, there is a black hole in it, I don't know what there is, Brother Long took out a gun, and at the same time the flashlight turned on and poked inside.
I followed his example.
Lu Xiaodan crawled over at this time, only flashed, came to the front of me, and said, "You go back a little, in case there is something, I am more useful than you." ”
I nodded, this is the truth, I can't help it, in this team, the worst person to deal with those guys is probably me.
And it's a special bit of back, otherwise I wouldn't have been injured a few times, and they all came to me alone.
Brother Long rushed quickly, rushed in a few steps, and then shouted: "There is no danger, experts come quickly." ”
I was stunned for a moment, until Zhang Siqiao in the back pushed me, and then I remembered that in this team, I am an expert.
I immediately rushed in a few steps, and everything in front of me suddenly became clear.
It was very bright in this room, because now the starlight was shining in from outside, and there were windows in this place.
The whole space is not large, but there are about 400 square meters, and the whole room is circular.
In the middle of the room, there was a huge circle, and around this circle, there were nine sarcophagi, which were called coffins, but here they were very small, only half a man high, and they all looked like they were all sealed, and nothing should come out of them.
Brother Long smiled and said, "This place seems to be much easier to manage, and there are no organs." ”
I looked at the nine coffins and said, "Not necessarily, I think these nine coffins must be put here for a purpose." ”
Brother Hong immediately said: "What is the intention, is it still like the gossip coffin outside?" Unlikely, you look here, there is absolutely no possibility of something. ”
As he spoke, he slapped twice on a sarcophagus with his hand, but he didn't expect two "dong dong" sounds to come out, hollow.
Brother Long was stunned for a moment, immediately jumped out of there, raised his gun at the same time, and said softly: "Damn, it's empty inside, there can't really be anything, so isn't it rude for me to knock on someone's door just now?" ”
I'm really depressed, it's all this time, and he still has the heart to joke.
But when he said this, a few of us who were already nervous relaxed a little.
There was no movement at all in the sarcophagus for a long time, and it seemed that the guy inside should have slept to death, and he didn't hear Brother Long's knock on the door just now.
Lu Xiaodan said at this time: "Brother Wen, what's the situation? Do you know? ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, so let's see what the situation of these nine sarcophagi is, and whether there are any marks on them." ”
After saying that, I walked towards the nearest sarcophagus, and as I expected, the back of the sarcophagus was engraved with something like the river map dot matrix, but this one was different.
Because I'm seeing a four-point diagram now, these four dots, enclosed in a rectangle, and it's engraved there.
Lu Xiaodan said: "Is it really gossip? ”
I looked up, it was indeed nine sarcophagi, unlikely, if it was gossip, how could it be nine.
Just thinking about it, Brother Long over there shouted: "There are also here, there are actually five of them." ”
Five? I was shocked, there is no five in gossip, I rushed over in a few steps, and sure enough, it was five, this five was very thoughtful, and there was a dot in the middle, which was divided into all directions, each with a point, forming a five.
"No, if it's gossip, there shouldn't be five, so to speak, this should be the Nine Palaces Luoshu." I said immediately.
"Nine Palaces Luoshu." Brother Long said on the side: "It sounds a bit like a bull's fork, what is the Nine Palace Luoshu." ”
In this regard, it is difficult for me to explain, because it is not clear in one sentence or two, but in fact, Vena should be regarded as a kind of wisdom of the ancient Chinese people for mathematics.
Later, it developed and also formed the Hongfan Nine Domains.
I looked at Brother Long and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Brother Long looked at his watch and said, "It's less than a little, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay with the time, in this way, it's not the time to talk about this matter, let's get this thing done first, and then say it's okay."
Brother Long immediately nodded and said, "That's right, let's talk about it first, by the way, what are you going to do, how do you need our help." ”
"You don't need to help, you're responsible for telling me where we're now." I asked.
Lu Xiaodan was stunned for a moment and said, "What direction, what does this mean?" ”
I pointed to the nine sarcophagi inside and said, "As I said just now, this is the Nine Palace Luo Shu, then it should be a Nine Palace Grid, this thing is actually very simple, and the position in the center is five." So among the nine sarcophagi, the number five is actually a fiction at all.
Of course, for the ancients, there were many people who did not know this design, and maybe they really used the number five. ”
I looked at several people looking at me blankly, obviously not understanding, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I'm not a teacher after all, and I really don't know how to explain such a profound question to them.
I had to say: "Forget it, I can't understand it for a while, give me the direction." ”
"No problem." Brother Long immediately took out a compass from his backpack, looked at the position below, and then said, "This direction is easy to do, the position we are where we are now is due east of the position in the middle." ”
I nodded, as long as I had a good idea.
I walked towards a sarcophagus carved with three dots, which was supposed to be the location of the mechanism, but I didn't know how to activate it.
I tried to knock on the sarcophagus, and found that it was also hollow, but the sound didn't sound like the one Brother Long had just knocked on.
"No, it won't." Brother Long immediately ran to another sarcophagus and knocked lightly, and that sarcophagus was almost solid and completely motionless.
"The sound is different here, what's going on?" Brother Long asked.
I also had doubts in my mind, and at the same time, I looked towards the circle in the middle, but found that in the middle position, it looked like a square mark.
Is it something like that? I thought to myself, and then I said, "No, it's a pressure mechanism." ”
"What do you mean?" Brother Long immediately asked.
I didn't answer him, but my heart was churning like the sea at this time, damn, the pressure mechanism, ancient, can it really be done?
