Chapter 183: The Wen Family Ancestral Hall

Of these two techniques, Lu Xiaodan and I glanced at each other, and everyone looked at us.

Zhang Shihong patted me and said, "You are right, they are the ancestors of your two families, so in this way, you are also world friends." ”

I smiled bitterly, this was something I never expected, here, I actually met my ancestors.

"That, Brother Shihong, what about the other Zhang family?"

Zhang Shihong looked at the anxious Zhang Siqiao and smiled, and said: "The words of the Zhang family are more complicated, here it is only said that the Zhang family went to the emperor, and did not bring a jade axe, but brought back the secret, if I guess correctly, the Zhang family, I'm afraid it has also branched." ”

I was very much in line with the situation at the time, and the craftsman did half the family at the beginning, just to prevent his family from being wiped out once the secret fell into the hands of the emperor.

Now the Zhang family will help the Song Dynasty tide over the difficulties under that kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers, but if you want to really protect your family, the best way is to hide that secret again.

It seems that the Zhang family has maintained the tradition of craftsmanship.

"Wait, if that's the case, then who built this tower? Won't it be made by craftsmen anymore? ”

"Sort of, it is written on it that the emperor let the Wen family inherit the name of the craftsman, but he still takes Wen as his surname and makes this Yangming Tower."

Damn, it turned out that the Wen family made this themselves, I don't even know about it.

"Is there anything else?" Brother Long asked.

Zhang Shihong shook his head and said: "There are so many things recorded in the past, but some things are recorded now, saying that they kneel three times and bow nine times to the stone statue, and you can enter the Wen family ancestral hall." ”

After speaking, he looked at me and said, "Since it is the Wen family's mechanism, then Brother Wen, it will be up to you next." ”

I laughed dryly, this place still has property rights, the property rights of our Wen family, but it's really a headache to think about.

I'm now equivalent to taking some people to my home to pick up things and hand them over, how can I feel so lost?

Talking about my feelings, everyone laughed.

And Brother Long patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, in this way, if we get something this time, we will still keep it in your name, go back and tell the dean about it, there is no problem." ”

It doesn't matter, what can there be here?

But now the more important thing is to find the exit to go down, Zhang Shihong also said, three kneels and nine bows.

After looking at the stone statues, and then at the bricks in front of the stone statues, I finally chose one.

The reason why this place was chosen is because the color of this brick is slightly different from the other places.

When we first came in, we didn't notice the color change, but now that we look closely, we can see it.

I had to come to this matter by myself, so Brother Long asked the other people to stand around me to prevent any accidents from happening.

They made a human wall for me, leaving only a stone statue in front of it.

Anyway, it's also his ancestor, and it's not a shame to kneel down and knock down, right?

If it were someone else here, I really didn't have that in mind.

The big gift of three kneels and nine bows is not difficult, requiring three kneels and three stands, and every kneel and three kowtows, when everything is over, I feel a slight shaking under the stone bricks.

Immediately after, the sound of "rumble" came from ahead of us.

Looking up, the stone statue of Wen Jiazu on the front actually moved to the back at this time, and then pasted it with the stone statue made by the craftsman.

And under the stone statue of the Wen family, a downward passage appeared.

It's so ingenious, I sighed in my heart, and now the records we have left behind are not at all half a star worse than before.

You know, it's impossible for me to make such a mechanism now.

I know the principle, but if I want to make it, it will take a lot of settings, and I can't do it alone.

And the ancestors of the Wen family actually succeeded in making such an organ, although it relied on the power of the whole country, but it was also very remarkable.

Brother Long leaned forward first and said, "It's a stone ladder, let's go down, I'll take the lead." ”

Everyone immediately formed a team and followed Brother Long slowly towards the bottom.

I calculated, the lower layer is the fifth layer, the two arrays above, a snake pool, and a mechanism here, just fall on the fifth layer, but what does the Wen family ancestral hall mean?

The passage was not very long, but after a few minutes of walking, we came to a flat floor with a stone gate in front of it.

This stone gate is even more exquisite, and there are two white stone pillars next to it, and there are dragons coiled on the stone pillars.

My God, this is in the past, but it was a big taboo, except for the emperor, if someone dared to use the words of the dragon, it was a great crime of rebellion, and it was to destroy the nine clans.

And above the door, there are eight or nine hundred and seventy-two protrusions.

This is a door nail, which is also exquisite, and it can be done seventy-two, how high is this status?

The threshold of this door is very high, it is made of white jade, look at this frame, this should be the Wen family ancestral hall that Zhang Shihong said just now.

Zhang Shihong pointed to it at this time and said, "Really, look over there." ”

We looked up together, and directly above the gate, there was a plaque, which looked like it should also be made of stone, and there were four big characters on it.

I actually know this word, although it is in traditional Chinese, but I can still understand it.

The ancestral hall of the Wen family, it is really here, and a sense of sacredness and solemnity arises spontaneously.

Zhang Siqiao and Lu Xiaodan had already stepped forward, probed on the stone gate for a long time, and said, "If there is no mechanism, there should be no problem." ”

Brother Long nodded, and then he stepped forward with Brother Hu to push open the two stone doors.

As the stone door opened, the whole room lit up.

That's too much space, isn't it?

I felt that this space should be similar to the one above, and when I looked around, there were many stone pillars around.

In front of us, there is a long passage.

The passage was paved with jade bricks, about fifty meters long, and on both sides of the road, there were countless stone figures, all of whom were holding long swords and supporting the ground.

The reason why it is certain that those people are stone people is because those stone people are covered with those silver plants, and the stone people have no facial features, which can be seen at once.

Further on, you can see a huge thing towering in the distance, but it is not clear at the moment, the light over there is very dim.

"Come in, pay attention to crossing this threshold, this is exquisite."

Anyway, I know that the threshold cannot be stepped on.

I remember there was a saying in the past, that is, there are too many people coming, and the threshold is flattened, which is pure nonsense.

You know, in the past, if you entered someone's house and would step on the threshold, it was very likely that someone would beat you out.

If you really have to step on the threshold, this family will be hated, I guess I borrowed too much money, right? Those who come to the door are accountable.

Brother Long led us across the threshold, and then slowly walked towards the front.

It was so quiet that there was no sound except the sound of our feet on the stones.

Brother Long walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of stepping on the mechanism, but I always felt that there should be no such things here.

"Look both sides." Lu Xiaodan said suddenly.

I looked to both sides, and there were pillars and stone figures blocking me just now, so I couldn't see the situation on either side, but when I came in, the situation on both sides was clear at a glance.

Sarcophagus.

I'm having a cold war, that's a little too much, isn't it?

The sarcophagi were arranged in a neat row, row upon row, and it felt like a neatly designed cemetery.

But the sarcophagi we're walking through now are all open-lied, and the lids are turned on one side.

Empty? I thought to myself, but I didn't think to look at it.

Lu Xiaodan glanced at me, obviously having something to say, but he endured it and didn't say it.

"Are you looking to see if there's something in the sarcophagus?" I asked.

Lu Xiaodan laughed embarrassedly twice and said, "Yes, I hope to judge the purpose of these sarcophagi by the things in the sarcophagus, I really haven't thought about taking something out of it." ”

When she said this, I had to smile, and it was not a difficult thing, so I signaled that there was no problem with her.

Lu Xiaodan immediately pulled Zhang Siqiao and walked over there.

Brother Long told him to be careful, but he didn't say anything, after all, they should not be easy to have an accident in a place like this.

Sure enough, they just went over to take a look and came back immediately.

"Empty." Lu Xiaodan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no one in the sarcophagus, it seems that this is just a place of suspicion." ”

It's also possible that there are empty coffins all around, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

So we kept walking.

Slowly, the huge thing in front revealed its true face.

It was actually an archway-like thing.

On a stone platform, there are many tablets, and under these tablets, you can see that there are some things on the lowest level.

Brother Long immediately took a few steps forward, and then said, "It looks like this is like a mourning hall, be careful." ”

We all nodded, and followed him slowly forward, and soon we got closer, and I could see the whole design of the tablet.

This thing is a bit like a pyramid, with a tablet at the top, but I can't see what it is, because it's too high.

And down, there are several layers of stone steps, a bit like a staircase, but there are stone plaques on them, and we have here, those stone plaques have been placed on the sixth floor, this position, just at the level of our eyes.

As you can see, there are some names on it.

However, my eyes quickly settled on a tablet, because the words engraved on it: Wen Jianguo's tablet is father.
