Chapter 37: Stone Ghost Formation
This is the bell of the Golden Tower, which is a treasure during the Qing Dynasty and a favorite thing of Emperor Qianlong.
In the 80s of the 19th century, industrialization rose, and at the same time, a large number of mechanized production was slowly formed, from small clocks to large railways.
The advanced culture of the West has also led to the learning and development of the Chinese people, especially during the Qing Dynasty, more and more advanced projects from the West were introduced.
Clocks are an example of this.
"Ninth Master, I saw that you have been talking for most of the day, this Golden Mansion bell is still a copycat?" I wondered.
Knockoffs, of course, cannot be compared with the real thing, they are completely incomparable.
"I can't say that, although it's not made in Swiss, at least it has a sense of age, not to mention the value, it should be no problem to change it for hundreds of thousands," Xihe smiled.
"Pay back the money, I see that you are full of food and support, this is a national relic, you have to move it, I think you are tired of life, and you want to go to the prison cell," Jiu Ye glanced at him, and his tone was a little heavier, Jiu Ye never jokes, some things can't be joked, but some things are another matter.
Xihe closed his mouth and carefully pondered the ancient bell.
Jiu Ye used a hand lamp to shine on the surface of the ancient clock, and the outer frame of the ancient clock was a golden dragon pattern, spiraling upward, with the majesty of the supremacy of imperial power.
"Da-da-"
The hour hand in the ancient clock is still moving......
Long......
Anyway, I stayed here for more than ten minutes.
Suddenly, there was a "click-" sound,
On the right side of the dragon pattern of the ancient bell, that is, the side of the outer frame of the ancient bell, it is opened.
"Ninth Master?" I leaned in and asked.
At that moment just now, I also accidentally touched something, in short, I heard a "click-" sound, and the frame on the right side opened.
Jiu Ye turned around, his eyebrows tightened, he took the ancient clock in my hand, and then slowly opened the outer frame, until the outer frame was all turned over, I was surprised.
There is a hidden dragon pattern inside, which should be an ancient dragon, and there are a few numbers faintly distributed on the dragon scales of the dragon, which is more like the number symbol of the ancients.
“1021…..” I said silently.
The Ninth Master glanced at me and asked, "Do you know?" ”
At this juncture, I can't possibly pretend, but I do recognize the ancient number on the scales of the Divine Dragon in front of me.
I nodded and said, "Yes 102112 it's six digits." ”
Xihe gave me a thumbs up, which was a different look at me.
The Ninth Master didn't care so much, he got up directly, returned to the Xuanshi Gate, and turned the number above, "Crunch-crunch-" Anyway, I heard the sound of the chain turning.
It wasn't until I got to the last digit that my heart tensed.
I closed my eyes even more, as if suddenly, I heard a "click-" sound and opened it.
At this time, the door was opened, and the stone that had been deposited in my heart finally fell.
"Ninth Master, could it be that this is the secret base of the watchmaker?" I asked.
"It's hard to say what's in there, I don't think there's any good sign in there," Xihe said, patting his body.
I exhaled, not daring to ask more.
Jiu Ye gently pushed down the stone door, and after that, he heard a "creak-" sound, and the stone door was pushed open.
Push open the stone door, but there is a smell of aroma, the aroma makes people smell refreshed, smell carefully, the fragrance with a trace of lotus fragrance.
Walking inside, there is still a stone cave inside, but this stone cave is different, it is more like a primitive ecology, surrounded by large and small stones, and in front of me is a large stone Lei with a width of two meters, more like a stone carving.
On both sides of the stone carving there are two entrances, which cross left and right, and finally form a large avenue.
I looked up and saw that there were many sharp cones of stone, all of which hung above the stone wall, and they were a little seeping to see.
However, there was still a faint light in the cave entrance, and the light flickered and dimmed......
My heart was pounding, I patted Uncle Mu and said, "Uncle Mu, I think this stone cave is a little weird?" ”
Uncle Mu blinked and said in a low voice, "This is a natural stone cave, or even more so, a karst cave!" ”
"Caves?" My eyes widened.
"The cave is formed by itself for a long time, generally speaking, it is under the ground, as for what is inside, it is not clear," Uncle Mu couldn't say why.
I retracted my words.
The Ninth Master bent over, bypassed Shi Lei, and entered the fork.
I followed, too.
Walking up the avenue, there is no mud or anything underneath, there are some potholes and bare rocks underneath, and some of them have sharp openings.
Seeing this, Nishiwa picked up the scimitar in his hand and flew forward.
"Whoa—"
Some of the rocks on the ground were smoothed, and then, Xihe gestured to the Ninth Master, "Be careful! ”
The Ninth Master nodded, bent over and touched it.
Stepping on the bare rocks, some of them were unsteady, anyway, I almost fell down several times, but fortunately, Uncle Mu was by his side, pulling me all the way.
Circumventing this layer of bare rock, we came to a slope.
But when I climbed up the slope, especially when I looked down, my mother, I was so frightened that I sat on the ground and jumped a few times.
"Ninth Master, look! What is that? Da Dun shouted, pointing down with one hand.
Below, almost more than 50 meters high, overlooking it, there is a pile of stone figures below, like the terracotta warriors and horses in the tomb of the Qin Emperor, the momentum is very huge, there are thousands of them.
However, those stone figures are carved in different forms, including people, birds, and man-eating wolves, tigers and leopards......
This is the first time I have encountered such a large scale of underground stone figures, comparable to terracotta warriors.
My mouth trembled and I asked, "Ninth Master, is this...... This ......."
Jiu Ye frowned, and said in a low voice, "This is a stone ghost array made by someone in ancient times, and it doesn't need to be related to those watchmakers. But is it because it was able to appear here unexpectedly? Speaking of this, the ninth master's eyes also wrinkled.
I asked in a low voice, "Ninth Master, did you find anything?" ”
Xihe clenched his scimitar and said gloomily, "I think eighty percent has something to do with it?" ”
I don't understand, and I don't know what Xihe and Jiu Ye are talking about, the two of them are eyebrows.
I pushed Uncle Mu down, but Uncle Mu shook his head at me and signaled, "Don't make trouble, why don't we all have to shit here now?" ”
"Ahh
At this time, Jiu Ye waved his hand towards Xihe, and then, Jiu Ye squatted down and shone it towards the other side of the slope with a hand lamp.
