Chapter 100: Seventy-two Dragons
Sure enough, the ground immediately collapsed, and all of them fell into a big pit, and the coffin was right in the middle of the big pit, dozens of meters away from the ground where it had just fallen.
The seven big pits that Gang Wenbin walked through just now were all flowing metal sand, and when Gang Wenbin fell, there was sand that kept rolling down into the big pit where they were, and the sand was still rolling, like quicksand that could swallow people.
“
Grandma's, I understand, it turns out that the poison in the columbarium is used here, if people in the past saw the jar and thought that it was full of ashes, so they would avoid it."
"Whoever digs the ground and buries the earth rat still carries a lot of rope, we don't have this thing now, this time we all died in seven big pits".
"People are not as good as heaven, this is the last organ,
When we all stand together, this place will collapse, and those jars will be broken, and the poisonous insects inside will definitely bite us to death, but luckily we have broken a lot of jars, otherwise we would have almost died by now."
"Even if someone can avoid the poisonous insects, they will die in this big pit, because the sand is made of the soil in the mass grave, and the original yin qi is very heavy", Yan Wenbin is sure, in less than half an hour, they will die because of the yin qi entering the body and the yang qi declining.
"Don't move, or we'll be unlucky, and no one can say anything if we touch the mechanism",
Yan Wenbin saw the nine stones suspended in the air on their heads, and after removing the two on the side, the remaining seven stone balls formed the state of the Big Dipper, plus two, which happened to be the layout of the Big Dipper.
The nine stars of the Big Dipper are greedy wolf, giant gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, broken army, left auxiliary, right Bi.
In Chinese Taoist culture and ancient Han astronomical books, the nine stars of the Big Dipper have names, in order: Tianshu Star, Tianxuan Star, Tianji Star, Tianquan Star, Yuheng Star, Minyang Star, Shaking Light Star, Cave Star, and Yinyuan Star.
The Big Dipper also has the existence of auxiliary stars and Bi stars, which are called the Big Dipper Nine Stars. The poem "Step Void Words" of the fifth generation of Xu Xuan said: "The whole service is multiplied by three elements, and the nine stars are rotated", and later the two gradually disappeared and became "seven appearances and two hidden", so there is now a saying of the Big Dipper.
Some ancient books, which will mention not the seven stars, but the "Big Dipper", where did the extra two stars come from? It turned out that the ancients believed that the Beidou was actually nine stars, but it was just "seven visible and two hidden", that is, seven stars could be seen, and the other two were hidden.
Relative to the human body, it corresponds to the nine orifices, and the seven orifices that Gang Wenbin generally knows are the seven orifices, that is, the eyes, ears, nostrils and a mouth, and the other "two hidden" are the urethra and anus.
Because the Big Dipper corresponds to the nine orifices on the human body, people say "the Big Dipper is dead, and the Six Stars are alive", but here is not for them to find the nine stars, but to turn the Big Dipper into a state of nine stars, so that they can leave here.
The alignment of the nine stars is an extremely rare celestial phenomenon. The nine planets orbit the Sun in their respective orbits, with different orbits, speeds, and periods, and are usually scattered throughout different regions of the solar system.
After a certain period of time, nine planets will orbit to one side of the sun at the same time, converging in a fan-shaped region with a small angle, a phenomenon known as "Zhuzhu".
Generally speaking, the greater the number of planets, the less chance there is to gather or line up, as long as the nine stars are lined up, it is considered to break the mechanism here.
"But after the nine stars are aligned, the self-destruction device here also activates with it."
"We have nine big iron balls on our heads, and the iron balls can be in the air, which means that there is something here that can hold up the iron balls, but when the nine iron balls are together, the power here is the weakest, and when the iron balls fall, they will definitely smash a lot of things."
"Maybe after this force disappears, the buildings above will collapse, this is the self-meeting device of the dungeon, if we don't crack the mechanism, we will never be able to get out."
Yan Wenbin looked at these star maps on top of them, and knew that this was the key to cracking the mechanism here.
"Uncle, do you see what is famous", Yan Wenbin looked at Yan Wenbin's uncle and said.
Uncle Yan Wenbin fell from a height of dozens of meters, and now there is no problem with his body, it is indeed a miracle, if everyone above follows them, this place will become very crowded.
If the mechanism is cracked, they will either be killed by falling stones, or they will be seriously injured, and there will be many people, and people can squeeze people to death.
"I'm not familiar with astronomy, and my cultivation in feng shui is not very high, this is your strength, you don't need to look at the feng shui compass, I admire" Uncle Tong Wenbin knew that this time Yan Wenbin was in trouble, without the compass, it was equivalent to a ship at sea without direction.
Generally speaking, people who help people see feng shui without a compass are masters, it can be said that the heavenly master watches the stars, the earth master looks at the water mouth, and the human master compass walks all over the place This statement is affirmed by many people, but now they don't have time to study those things at all.
Yan Wenbin looked at the starry sky map on the top, the original top of the main hall was a spherical vault, and there were seventy-two gold-cast dragon heads on the vault, although Yan Wenbin didn't know what it meant, but on the stone wall in front of them, there were twenty-eight constellation star maps.
The 28 constellations are the 28 star regions divided by ancient astronomers to observe the movement of the sun, moon and five stars, which are used to explain the position of the sun, moon and five stars.
The 28 Nakshatras are divided into four regions: Canglong in the east, Xuanwu in the north, Vermilion Bird in the south, and White Tiger in the west.
Oriental Canglong Seven Residences: Horn, Kang, 氐, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei (jī)
Northern Xuanwu Seven Residences: 斗 (dǒu), Ox, Female, Void, Danger, Room, Wall.
Western White Tiger Seven Residences: Kui, Lou (lóu), Stomach, 昴 (mǎo), Bi, 觜 (zī), 参 (shēn),
Southern Suzaku Seven Residences: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, 轸 (zhěn).
As one of the important parts of the traditional culture of the Han people, it has been widely used in astronomy, religion, literature, astrology, astrology, feng shui, auspicious selection and other magic numbers.
Its original origin, there is no conclusive conclusion at present, with the cultural relics to examine, Suixian unearthed in the Warring States period Zeng Marquis B tomb lacquer box, the first time recorded the complete name of the twenty-eight houses.
Historiography recognizes that the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras were first used in astronomy, so its position in the history of astronomy is quite important.
"Now that the compass has been destroyed, I can't even determine the direction, so it's better to start with where to start," said Yan Wenbin, looking at the star map on the stone wall in front of the stone wall.
And the quicksand that keeps rolling down on the edge will soon drown this place, and although many people are in a hurry to flee for their lives, they have no way to get out of here, so they can only pin all their hopes on Yan Wenbin.
"Now we are in a large pit dug by hand, the bottom and the wall are very flat, all are carved in stone, the front and back are smooth stone walls, there are many small holes in many stone walls, I guess right, if we touch the mechanism, a lot of hidden weapons will shoot out of the stone hole, and I will be shot to death in the tunnel."
"Since you all know the twenty-eight constellations, but ......" Uncle Yan Wenbin stopped talking, because the compass was broken, and Yan Wenbin couldn't determine the direction.
"Although there are twenty-eight constellations on the stone wall in front, distributed on four sides, the order must be disrupted, if we climb up, we must be in the center of the square, and the surrounding area will collapse, and the lower level of the square will occur."
"We're at least 20 meters above the ground, and even if we have ropes, we can't go up," said Gang Wenbin, looking at the few people around him, feeling more and more that time was slipping away.
Now they can't climb up at all, the walls are polished very smooth, even if there are some stone holes that can be borrowed, but who knows if there are darts hidden weapons in the stone holes, or poisonous liquid or powder.
"You see the underground stone slabs, they are all one by one, twenty centimeters of square is a piece, why not use a large block, is it using the effect of gravity" Yan Wenbin suddenly seemed to have discovered something.
"The slate is full of mercury underneath, and the slate is on top of the mercury, which is the use of the principle of gravity, and now as soon as someone leaves here, the slate will immediately float up and touch the mechanism" Lao Hu now knows that they are above the gravity device by virtue of his own senses.
"To get out of here, you can only get the nine large iron balls above your head in a straight line, and the mechanism can be stuck, but as soon as the nine iron balls are in a straight line, the self-destruct device will be activated."
"Originally, I thought it was a stone on it, but I was wrong, there was a solid iron ball on it, which can make the iron ball float in the air, and I can only say that there is a big magnet underneath us."
"Now I can't figure out why there are seventy-two golden dragon heads above the vault, what does this mean, there are no seventy-two dragon heads in the twenty-eight stars, even if it is thirty-six in Tiangang and seventy-two in the earth, it should be one hundred and eight, and it is divided into two layers."
Yan Wenbin really thought about it, and he couldn't figure out why, what do the seventy-two golden dragon heads represent" Yan Wenbin has hollowed out everything he can think of, but he can't find a countermeasure.
"Can we sit on the ground?" The Demoman looked at Gang Wenbin and said, now Gang Wenbin needs to calm down.
“
Yes, but you can't leave the slate, and it's better not to move, otherwise you can't guarantee what will happen."
"Give you beef jerky, think slowly", Leng Bingyan gave Yan Wenbin a box of canned beef, which was hard beef jerky.
"Uncle, give me a piece of paper" As soon as Yan Wenbin finished speaking, his uncle didn't say a word, and directly took a talisman to Yan Wenbin.
Yan Wenbin pinched the paper into a ball and threw it around the corner in front of him, and immediately the paper ball burned, and the speed of the paper ball burning was very fast, if people accidentally let them touch the place where the paper ball battle was located, they would also be burned to death by the sudden flames of people.
“
Uncle, use my method, try the area in front of you, and I'll see what happens in the area in front of you."
Uncle Tong Wenbin's paper ball had just been thrown out, and white powder was sprayed out of the stone hole in the tunnel in front of him, and the powder fell on the stone slab, and the surface of the stone slab was corroded and bubbling.
"Now we are trapped in a pentagonal tunnel, if we move around, we will touch the corresponding mechanism, and the five passages are the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It seems that this place is built according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and we are trapped in the Five Elements Pit, and the magnet should be in the middle of the Five Elements Pit, that is, inside this wall behind us."
"If we were in the outermost part, I would be able to know our location, but according to my inference, since we are now in the water of the five elements, our current area, if we move, venom should flow out of the stone hole, and there is mercury below, that's right", Yan Wenbin already knew how to get out of this big pit.
