Chapter Twenty-Four: Behind the Rock Wall
But when it comes to this, I have no choice but to nod.
But speaking of which, the three of us are really ridiculous, obviously I don't know if we will be able to leave alive, but we are already discussing the matter of sharing the spoils.
This can be regarded as a kind of vision and plan for the future, I have to say, but it is quite effective in relieving our tension and anxiety in a certain sense.
"Okay, now that I've rested enough, it's time to continue looking for an exit, I've already looked for all the hexagrams centered on the previous square hexagram and polarized by 100 degrees, and the other hexagrams with 80 degrees of polarization are left on this side of the river, and there are about eighty hexagrams, no matter how Feng Shui turns the world upside down, it must meet the fixed number of three hundred and sixty on Sunday, and the hexagrams are all at a positive angle."
"Bang bang....." When he searched for the remaining twenty-two hexagrams, Zhang Yu knocked a few more times.
"It's not quite right here! The rock walls are thin and more like hollow, and there is an echo! ”
This is it!
My face was happy, and there is a high probability that this is the direction of the Gengong Shengmen after reversing the polarization.
"Do you want to chisel it open?" Zhang Yu turned his head to look at me, I breathed a sigh of relief and lowered my head to think for a moment.
I calmed down a little bit, but I felt a little wrong, if it was built by a feng shui master during the Warring States period, there was no reason why it would be so simple.
To be honest, although we are looking for a lot of work, it is just a rather stupid method, and it does not have much technical content, will this method be reliable?
"Let's open it, there is no other choice for the path, no matter what, this place is hollow, and it is always faster to chisel through the stone wall." I nodded, and Zhang Yu immediately took out a 30 cm long iron nail with an end radius of three centimeters wide from the package, and pressed it straight against the rock wall.
He took out another hammer and slammed it into the end of the nail.
At this moment, the iron nail smashed into a sharp point, and it was firmly pressed against the wall, and then another hammer, and the iron nail went in another inch.
"I'm two inches in now, and I should have seen through the stone wall." Zhang Yu pulled out an iron nail, leaking a hole, the size of a coin, black and not in the middle of winter.
"Sure enough, it's hollow! My brother handed me a firework for lighting, and I went in to see it! Zhang Yu crossed his hand, and Zuo Yun immediately nodded and handed over a 15-centimeter-long red cylinder and a lighter.
The lighting fireworks were lit, and the bright flames shone all around, although there was no bright miner's lamp overhead and the strong flashlight in his hand, but the light was very even, showing a four-way shape.
Zhang Yu put the lighting fireworks in his hand into the hole, and for a while, there was a faint red light in the hole.
I nodded secretly, worthy of the old rivers and lakes, vigilant enough.
"The space inside is very small, like a room, but there seems to be no furnishings, and there seems to be a stone mural on the middle wall, and I can't see what is depicted."
Zhang Yu lay on the rock wall and saw the scene in the stone chamber through the hole.
"Murals? Nothing else? "I wondered what kind of mural could be left alone in such a secluded place.
"There's nothing else, it looks like it's supposed to be safe here, why don't you dig it open?" Zhang Yu shook the chiseled nail in his hand.
"It's been chiseled, and many of the tomb doors are set up behind the murals, and the murals are hanging alone in this hidden secret room, there should be another mystery!"
I nodded, and I didn't think it was possible to say that there was nothing mysterious about this mural.
Zhang Yu nodded, and the steel nails in his hand were chiseled along the edge little by little, and the fragments of the rock and the uneven stone walls on the wall were scattered on the ground little by little.
The speed of excavation was not fast, after all, it was a rock, not tofu, and the stones on the side of the river had been washed away by the waterway for a long time, and they became very solid.
It took an hour or so to dig a hole the size of a basin, not enough for one person to pass through, but enough for me to see inside.
As Zhang Yu said, there are no ornaments in it, and there are no coffins or anything like that, the only thing is the relief murals on the opposite wall.
When Zhang Yu's strength was almost exhausted, Zhang Yu and I changed handles, and I continued to dig, Zhang Yu's size was very large, and the hole to be chiseled should also be very large, at least let Zhang Yu go in.
It took two or three handles in turn, and it took more than four hours to dig for a full time before a hole was opened that was enough to pass through.
"I'm tired, go in and have a look." I rubbed my sore arm and collapsed first.
Only when you enter the inside can you see the scene inside.
There are obvious traces of carving around the stone chamber, and the walls around the stone chamber are of the same material as the rock wall on the edge of the river.
This stone chamber should have been taken out of the stone wall directly, but how was the seal sealed?
The whole thing is a huge rock, and the stone chamber in the middle seems to have been conjured out of thin air.
Although this stone chamber looks simple, the craftsmanship and technology contained in it are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
While marveling at the confusion, my gaze shifted to the mural in front of me.
I pointed a flashlight at the mural on the wall, and for a while, the whole mural was clearly visible.
The mural is made up of thirty-two small frescoes, which seem to tell some story, and the last mural has some words engraved on it.
"There are words on it, I have seen it in the book, it is indeed the text of the Warring States Period, Yan Kingdom, but I don't know how to translate."
"It doesn't matter what the words are on it, since most of them exist in the form of murals, let's see what is painted first." Zuo Yun spoke, and my gaze fell on the thirty-one murals in front of me.
Looking at these murals, I smiled, I have actually seen these paintings, although they are not exactly the same, but the style and carving are very similar, so to speak, almost identical.
It was seen in the "Tomb Biography", which recorded a stone mural in the tomb of the Dingguo Hou of Qi in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that the mural and the mural printed on the book were painted by one person, and in the book, the meaning of the mural and the carver of the mural text are exactly interpreted.
"This mural should be carved by Ju Lizi during the Warring States Period."
"Ju Lizi is a feng shui master of Qi State, and I estimate that this tomb should be supervised by Ju Lizi."
While I told me what I knew, I also previewed one of the murals, and the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and this time, it seemed that we had discovered something unbelievable.
Zuo Yun and Zhang Yu didn't say a word, they were also looking at the murals, I believe that old rivers and lakes like Zuo Yun and Zhang Yu should be able to understand some.
