The nine-square grid originated from the Hetu Luoshu, which is two mysterious patterns handed down in ancient China. The pattern on Vena corresponds to nine numbers from 1 to 9, and the sum of the three numbers on three lines, whether it is vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or three, is equal to 15.

In this stone wall, the numbers are defined by different small pieces of each stone brick, and the same is like a river map, with black and white colors to distinguish the arrays. Just looking at the approximate, I feel that this technique is very difficult, and just now Sheng Shiyao was still hitting and filling in the movement, there can be no slightest mistake, we look at his eyes with admiration.

After his eyes flashed over us, he said lightly: "It's not as difficult as you think, just remember the mantra." Wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four have shoulders, eight or six are feet, and five are in the center. ”

Black lines appeared above everyone's heads, and Zhou Tong coughed twice and said, "Brother Yao, you don't have to explain to us, because we can't understand the explanation." Jian Ning smiled unceremoniously and took my hand. In front of Sheng Shiyao, I was embarrassed to laugh, so I could only forcibly hold back.

Fortunately, Sheng Shiyao didn't care about us, walked back to the lamppost again, raised his hand and pressed it gently, and the rumbling sound came immediately. But not in front of us, but behind us......

Reflexively, he turned around and saw that the black stone was sinking and the rumbling sound was coming from it. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what would happen next, and this mechanism was so ingenious, layer after layer, there must be a mystery inside.

We looked at Sheng Shiyao at the same time, and no one dared to rush forward to investigate. When the black stone collapsed and sank into view, the sound continued for a while before stopping, and then it was silent. Zhou Tong picked up his foot and looked at it, but we were standing at the bottom of the steps, and we were so far away, where could we see the stone platform above. He hesitated and said, "Brother Yao, do you want to let this woman go and explore first?" ”

Jian Ningyi's face turned white, and I didn't want to shake my head and refuse: "No, she has no power to restrain her, she is just an ordinary woman, if there is any danger, she can't hide at all." ”

"Little sister, she is Zhuang Yu's woman, how can you help her speak?"

I choked, bit my lip and said, "She's my friend." "Maybe Jian Ningyi once deceived me because of Zhuang Yu, but she still recognized her as a friend in her heart. Zhou Tong didn't speak anymore, but looked at me with disapproval. Jian Ningyi took my hand behind me and turned her head to look at her, with a warm feeling in her eyes.

In the end, it was Sheng Shiyao who spoke: "No one needs to explore the way, there will be no other organs for the time being, let's go over and have a look." In order to break the rigid atmosphere, Zhou Tong deliberately raised his voice and said: "Brother Yao, you said it earlier, since this is the case, let me take the lead." After speaking, without waiting for Sheng Shiyao's consent, he took the lead, and the six sons followed silently.

Sheng Shiyao glanced at us sideways and said lightly: "You go in the middle, and I will be behind." Jian Ningyi and I didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly walked in front, listening to the footsteps behind me, Jian Ningyi suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered: "He is good to you." I couldn't help but curl the corners of my lips and said in my heart: It's really good, he may not be good at words, but he often proves it with actions. As long as he is there, my ups and downs and confusion can be settled.

When we walked up to the platform again, we immediately saw that the place where the black stone collapsed had become a deep pit, but the wall of the pit was only more than one meter high, and the bottom was about two meters high, and the fire was shining from the inside. Zhou Tong was eager to jump down, but was softly stopped by Sheng Shiyao, only to see him bend down and touch the pit wall, and press lightly somewhere, suddenly an iron chain-like simple ladder hung down from the top, and the distance was just about a foot above the black stone collapse.

The ingenuity of the design is truly breathtaking.

It was still Zhou Tong who took the lead, and he went down to explore the way first. After I defended Jian Ningyi, no one proposed to let her do the experiment, but I knew that this was undoubtedly transferring the danger to Zhou Tong and Liuzi, and every time the two of them charged forward, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart. In fact, I really wanted to propose that I explore the way, but I knew that if I proposed it, no one would accept it, and Sheng Shiyao would not allow it.

After we went down to the bottom one after another, we found that the space below was not inferior to the top, which was equivalent to the fact that this underground palace was divided into two floors. But the lower layer is relatively rougher than the top, there is no carved jade workmanship, surrounded by ordinary stone walls, and the lampstand is not located in the wall, but is divided into four platforms before and after.

Compared to the upper floor, the lights here are much dimmer. This is a rough impression, and when we look inside and take a closer look, we can't help but be surprised. The stone walls around here were densely carved with characters, and there were also pictures of people, but the characters were not ancient Chinese characters, and they did not look like the Khitan script I had come into contact with before. It is inferred from Zhuang Yu's Dian Island and his previous life that these characters belong to the ancient Dian Kingdom itself two thousand years ago.

I quietly approached Sheng Shiyao and whispered in his ear, "Do you know these words?" Seeing that he hesitated slightly, he nodded slightly, "What is recorded above is the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom, as well as the biographies of the kings and princes of the past dynasties. ”

As soon as my heart moved, I immediately went to look for the tail part of the history of the Dian Kingdom, and it can be roughly seen that the order of arrangement is from left to right, and the last history of the Dian Kingdom should be at the end of the right. When I turned to look back, I found that Jian Ningyi's gaze was also fixed on it, and she was staring at one of the figure paintings, the person was wearing a black robe and a feather crown, and at a glance I could see the outline of Zhuang Yu. Especially when he was also wearing a black ring and a black jade bracelet on his hand, I saw her unconsciously rubbing the beads on her wrist.

I lingered on it for a moment, then searched for the side, and finally fixed my gaze on the mural at the very end, which was different from all the previous paintings, with no human figures in it, only a mask and a knife. I'm no stranger to both, the mask is the one worn by the wizard and the Khitan king, and the knife is the shadow moon on my waist, which is what they call the Warrior King Blade.

Sensing that the aura beside me was approaching, I turned my eyes slightly sideways, and saw that Sheng Shiyao was also staring at that place, and couldn't help asking, "How does it describe you?" Undoubtedly, although there is no him in this painting, it must refer to Wu Wangyao. He shook his head lightly: "There is no record, it is blank. ”

"Isn't there text engraved on the bottom and side of the painting?" I asked curiously, how could he say blank?

"That's the origin of the Mask and the Shadow Moon. The mask is made of thousand-year-old fine iron, as thin as a cicada's wings, and after being worn, it can gather the qi of heaven and earth. Shadow Moon is made of the same material as it, and with this blade, it can reach the sky at the top and the earth at the bottom. ”

I looked at the figures before and after King Dian again, and asked suspiciously, "Is there you in there?" ”

"No, I'm not among them."

Zhou Tong, who had sharp ears, asked with a puzzled expression: "Little sister, what are you talking about with Brother Yao?" Why can't I understand a word? I was hesitant to explain to him, but I heard Sheng Shiyao scolding in a deep voice: "Hugh asks more!" Take a look inside. ”

"Which is inside?" Zhou Tong looked around and asked stunned.

Sheng Shiyao took the lead in the first step, walked to the stone wall in front of him, raised his hand and pressed, and a stone door brush shrank upward, revealing the door shape. We looked at each other, this underground palace really has countless mysteries.

Seeing them enter the stone gate one after another, I was about to follow, but Jian Ningyi gently pulled it down, and she asked quietly: "Cheng Xiao, tell me honestly, why is Zhuang Yu so similar to the person in the mural on the wall?" I groaned slightly, and didn't hide it from her: "The person in the painting is the last king of the ancient Dian Kingdom two thousand years ago, and he is Zhuang Yu's previous life. ”

Janine froze in place, and I patted her on the shoulder, in fact, the first time I heard it, it was like her.

"Little sister, what are you rubbing, come on." Zhou Tong called us in front of the door, I hurriedly pulled Jian Ning and trotted over, and when I arrived, I heard Zhou Tong say with deep meaning: "Little sister, keep your own snacks." ”

Knowing that he was a kind reminder, I smiled and didn't refute it. After walking inside, she was stunned, and Jian Ningyi's exclamation was heard in her ears, no wonder she reacted so strongly, in fact, anyone who saw a whole row of stone coffins lined up there would be shocked and frightened.

The stone coffin is a stone coffin, the ancients put the body into the wooden coffin, and then put the coffin into the stone coffin, mainly to avoid the wood from rotting over time, is a symbol of status.

In other words, the inner floor of this room is actually a tomb!

At first glance, there were a total of ten bottles, and at this moment, Sheng Shiyao was standing in front of one of them to inspect. The volume of that bottle was relatively larger than the others, and seeing that he glanced at Zhou Tong and Liuzi, the three of them each wore gloves and stepped forward to push them to the side. I didn't care about Jian Ningyi, whose face was pale, and walked up to take a look, and saw that the stone cover was heavy and abnormal, and it was very difficult for the three of them to push together. I noticed that there seemed to be words engraved on the stone cover, and this kind of text was usually a record of the life and deeds of the tomb owner.

It's the same special text symbol just now, and I can't understand it. As they pushed the coffin, I looked around, and when I glanced around, I saw that the coffin on the edge was higher than the others, like a stone slab on top of it. When I looked closer, I saw that there seemed to be a crack between the stone slab and the ground, as if it had risen from the original flat ground.

Standing in front of me, I saw that there were also engraved words on it, and it was very small, because the light was too dim, I could only get closer and squint carefully, and the first sense was that these words were not the Dian characters I saw just now, but the ancient Chinese characters that could be recognized. But when I read a passage, I froze in place like a lightning bolt.

That was actually the engraved Huang Xingyuan secret technique! And it was one of the passages that my grandmother copied in the stone room of the tree hole. I couldn't help but want to touch the slate, but before my hand could touch it, I heard Sheng Shiyao shout: "Don't touch it!" ”

Because my attention was focused on the stone slab, I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my hand, and my heart beat violently.
