Volume 1 Eight Coffins Corpse Field_Chapter 37 Auxiliary Stars
In other words, after Ma Tan and I entered the passage, another person cleared the tomb monkey, and then followed us into the passage.
I shuddered and wanted to greet Ma Yan. As a result, when I turned around, I found that something was not quite right with Ma Tan.
Ma Tan stood stiffly on the ground, his eyes straight and his eyeballs turned up slightly. His arms rested stiffly at his sides, and his legs were shaking.
Oops.
I secretly said that it was not good, his state was similar to that of the third uncle and Liang Yue who were controlled by the sound of the flute. I also remembered that this flute can control people. And the reason why I was not controlled was only because of the lack of a yang fire.
I saw that the strange professor Ma Yan's eyes were getting more and more confused, and I panicked in my heart.
I knew it would be too late by the time he was completely controlled by the sound of the flute. But what can I do to save him now?
I was so anxious that I was so anxious that I groped my hands around my body.
This is completely a subconscious behavior, but I didn't expect to let me touch the kind of door sealing cream that the third uncle gave me.
This kind of door sealing ointment, according to the third uncle's explanation, can not only invigorate blood, dispel stasis, remove poison and replenish yang, but also stick it on my shoulder, which can also prevent lonely ghosts and wandering spirits from taking the opportunity to enter. The so-called sealing of the door is to seal the passage of the body and soul.
I don't know what the principle of the flute control is to control people, and now I can only give it a try when I grasp this door seal.
Ma Jian listened to the sound of the flute, his body moved, and he had already walked towards the passage where we found the coffin and the body of the Taoist priest.
Without saying a word, I rushed up, tore off Ma Yan's clothes, and put a door sealing paste in my hand on the ground.
I was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I never expected that this door sealing ointment would be very effective. I put the plaster on it, and Ma Yan's steps stopped. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked me, "Li Yang, why are you filming me?" ”
I can't cry or laugh, why am I filming you, don't you have any numbers in your heart?
I pointed to the plaster: "It seems that you are awake, if I don't give you this plaster, you will follow the flute like the third uncle and Liang Yue." ”
Ma Tan turned his head to look at the plaster on his shoulder, very curious, and muttered: "This plaster has such a miraculous effect?" What is it made of? ”
Seeing Ma Tan's meaning, he actually wanted to reach out and take off the plaster to study it.
I hurriedly stopped him: "I said old horse, you want to study it, and we will study it when we go back." You'd better not move this thing now......"
Ma Tan was stunned for a moment, and when he listened to it, the sound of the human bone flute was still continuing.
I pointed to the passage that Ma Tan wanted to walk in just now, and said, "This is the passage, and you were led by the sound of the flute to enter just now." ”
Ma Jian nodded: "The trip we just walked through was too hasty, there must be something in it that we didn't find." ”
We looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and followed the grave path to get into it again.
The sound of the flute, the tomb, the hanging Taoist priest, the Modra on the coffin, the footprints of the third person......
It's all an unsolved mystery, and although I know that there are a lot of risks ahead, I'm determined to do it at this time
What's more, the third uncle and Liang Yue didn't know whether they were dead or alive at this time.
We searched all the way, and the coffins and hanging Taoist priests we passed by did not change much. We searched the chamber carefully, but found nothing.
Until we came to the last burial chamber.
Ma Tan looked around, suddenly squatted down, took out a pen and paper from his body, and drew something.
I wondered what else the professor was thinking about painting at this time, so I crouched down to look at him.
The traces of Ma Tan's sketch are clear and simple. I saw that Ma Jian just used a pen to point seven stars on the paper. Look at the shape of a spoon, it is somewhat similar to the direction of the Big Dipper.
In the end, Ma Jian woke up like from a dream and muttered, "Sure enough." ”
I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked him what he meant.
Ma Tan shook his head and only said one word, follow me.
As he spoke, Ma Tan turned around and walked back.
I knew he must have found something, so I followed him back to the grave.
Circling around, Ma Tan led me back to a burial chamber, which I couldn't remember anymore. The ancient asphalt lamp is very resistant to burning, and after such a long time, it still emits a fairly bright light. This burial chamber is no different from several other burial chambers, we should have checked it many times, but apart from an ancient coffin and a hanging Taoist priest, we can't find anything else.
But Ma Tan stopped in this burial chamber, and he took out the paper and looked at it for a while.
I finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Old Ma, is this the Big Dipper?" What is the name of your painting this? ”
Ma Tan pointed to a few stars on the piece of paper and said: "The seven stars of the Big Dipper are connected from the mouth of the bucket to the dipper, and the order of the line is Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, and the first four are called "Doukui", which form the dou of the Big Dipper; The last three are called "dippers" and form the handle of the Big Dipper. I have determined that these seven burial chambers happen to be in the shape of a Big Dipper, and our location is the star in the center of the dipper, called "Kaiyang". ”
I nodded, "What does that mean?" ”
Ma Tan continued: "As far as I know, the stars in the sky and the geography on the earth have a very close correspondence, since this place is arranged according to the orientation of the Big Dipper, then here, there must be another star, that is, there is another tomb, we have not been to, that is, this is it. ”
As he spoke, Ma Tan drew another star next to the Kaiyang Star where we were, connecting Kaiyang with the star.
I was stunned: "Eighth star? ”
Ma Yan nodded and said, "That's right." If you look closely at the celestial body, you will find that there is a faint star very close to Kaiyang, and this dark star is called Ursa Major 80. The ancients saw that it was always very close to the Yang Star, just like the guardian of the Yang Star, so they called it Fu. The Kaiyang star and the auxiliary star form a pair of binary stars......"
At this moment, I have admired Ma Jian so much, he is a strange professor who has not insulted this strange word at all, this thing may have been studying knowledge all his life, and his stomach is like an encyclopedia, let you
He can say a thing or two about any kind of knowledge. And his memory is simply very human, and many sources can be clearly explained.
Sure enough, before I could ask again, he began to quote the scriptures again: "According to the records of the Historical Records of Heavenly Officials, the auxiliary stars are near, and the auxiliary ministers are strong; Repulsion of small, weak. "Jin Shu Astronomical Chronicles" also said that the auxiliary star Fu is Kaiyang, so Zuodou succeeds, and the prime minister is also like a prime minister. Seven political stars, its national prosperity, auxiliary Xingming, then the ministers are strong. And the ...... of the Song Dynasty"
I hurriedly stopped Professor Strange, good fellow, when he talked about these classics, Professor Strange's eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten his environment, and I guess he looked like this in the lecture hall of the university.
I waved my hand and said, "Old Ma, I know you are very knowledgeable. But these things, you just tell me the results, we're running out for time. ”
Seeing that I had interrupted him, Ma Tan smacked his lips and said, "I mean, there must be another tomb next to this Kaiyang Star's tomb, which is the tomb of the auxiliary star." ”
"How is this possible? We've searched this place several times, so could it be that we're going to dig up the walls here? ”
Ma Tan pointed to the coffin: "Push it away." ”
I understood what Ma Tan meant, indeed, if there was any place in this tomb that we hadn't looked for, it was the space under the coffin.
I know that judging from the current distribution of labor, I am the main force in this coffin pushing work.
I followed Ma Tan's instructions and pushed the tail of the coffin. The coffin was already very broken, with cracks and chips of varying degrees in many places, and I was afraid that I would push the coffin apart with a single force.
Ma Jian saw what I meant, waved his hand and said, "I've seen it, these real ancient coffin building techniques are very exquisite. Despite their simple structure, they are definitely made by the hands of skilled coffin craftsmen. So even though it's broken, it won't fall away easily. I'm pushing in the back, I'm holding on to the side, and it shouldn't be a problem. ”
I nodded, holding the coffin with my hands and my feet on the ground. From the crack in the coffin, a faint black gas kept coming out, and it was estimated that the smell would be terrible. Fortunately, I was wearing a mask soaked in sheep urine, and my nose was full of urine smell, and I couldn't smell anything else. But the strange professor this mask also works, except for the smell is unpleasant, the use is still quite large, after going down this tomb, I have not had any uncomfortable reaction.
But the coffin was sticky and uncomfortable to the touch. I gritted my teeth and just wanted to push it away as quickly as possible, so I pushed it with seven or eight points of force.
To my surprise, the coffin looked very heavy, but I pushed it a few times harder, and it began to slide slowly.
Soon, the coffin was pushed out by me more than half a meter away.
In the coffin's original place, a smooth stone slab appeared.
It turned out that the coffin had fallen on this stone slab, so it was no wonder that I didn't have much effort to push it.
Ma Jian instructed me to keep pushing until I had completely pushed the coffin some distance away.
A complete stone slab appears at our feet.
Ma Tan took an oil lamp
and crouched down to look at the slate.
On that stone slab, there are many words densely engraved. Those fonts are all the same official scripts, very neat. But those contents seem to be sparse, and I don't have the slightest patience to read them.
Fortunately, there is a strange professor Ma Tan here, and these things are not my turn to study at all.
Although I am anxious, I still have to take it one step at a time. My gut tells me that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. The third uncle and Liang Yue may be on the other side of the wall away from us.
I also pinned my hopes for breaking through this wall on Professor Strange.
Ma Tan held the lamp in his hand and looked at the stone slab very carefully.
After a quarter of an hour, Ma Jian finally stood up and rubbed his old waist with grinned teeth.
I hurriedly asked, "Old Ma, what does this mean?" ”
Ma Tan said: "It is to explain the identity of the owner of this tomb, something like an epitaph." Looks like I'm right......"
