161 Nanzhao Iron Pillar
"Nanzhao Optimus Prime? Are the Transformers buried here? Or is it the brother of Dinghaishen Needle Iron who came here? Liu Shuya looked at the name and suddenly had this kind of joking thought.
Under great psychological pressure, after a little decompression in his heart in this way, Liu Shuya's heart was more surprised. Nanzhao Optimus Prime is actually an elegant nickname, and this thing is more popularly known as Nanzhao Iron Pillar. The matter of Nanzhao Tiezhu, Liu Shuya has seen it in ancient books.
This Nanzhao iron pillar, in the folk is also called "Tianzun Pillar", widely distributed in the territory of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom, the age is long, generally in the ancient Nanzhao era casting, that is, the Central Plains Tang Dynasty.
The Tianzun pillar in folklore is cast by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and it is really a treasure with the same name as the sea god needle iron cast by Taishang Laojun. Dinghaishen needle iron was first used by Dayu to control the water, and then was taken by Sun Monkey to rebel in the heavenly court, and it was very famous. This Tianzun Pillar does not have a great reputation, but it is said that the supernatural power is also comparable, and it is recorded in the documents that have not been handed down in the Nanzhao Kingdom that this Tianzun Pillar has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and it has passed through the thirty-three heavenly realms and sent down to the eighteen layers of hell. This divine pillar that runs through heaven and earth is different from the Dinghaishen needle iron, the Dinghaishen needle iron is solid, and the Tianzun pillar is hollow, it seems to be a passage through the Three Realms.
At that time, the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom somehow set off a wave of imitation of Tianzun Pillar, everywhere erected all kinds of iron pillars, they do not exist much, but there are records in ancient books, there are some known Nanzhao Iron Pillars, their common feature is that the times are similar, and they are all called Tianzun Pillar, and then I don't know when, and there is a nickname of Optimus Prime. The most famous Nanzhao iron pillar in the world is in Yunnan, in order to protect this pillar, I don't know when, but also with the pillar as the center, built a temple called the iron pillar temple, the iron pillar in the temple is black, iron, weighs about 2069 kilograms, 3.3 meters high, 32.7 centimeters in diameter, is made of five sections of casting, is considered to be the most famous existing Nanzhao iron pillar. The top of the column is a conical pit, 7 centimeters deep, there are three mouths, each with a wooden carved dragon on it, covered with an iron hat (shaped like a pot). Official scientific research institutions have determined that the iron pillar was indeed cast in the ancient Southern Zhaoguo period, that is, the Tang Dynasty, which is consistent with the folk theory.
Although the iron pillar built during the Nanzhao Kingdom is also called the "Tianzun Pillar", it is obviously not the Tianzun Pillar in myths and legends, but "counterfeits".
Liu Shuya naturally knew that the Nanzhao Iron Pillar in front of him was also a fake Tianzun Pillar. But it is much taller and thicker than the Yunnan Iron Pillar Temple, and it is much more beautiful, if it can be made public to the world, it must be the largest Nanzhao Iron Pillar in the world, only this one, this giant iron pillar is a priceless treasure! It's a pity that no one knows about it for thousands of years, and it doesn't appear in the world until today.
Liu Shuya circled around this huge iron pillar, turned around a few times, and after carefully examining this huge iron pillar, he did not find anything unusual, and the discovery of this pillar can only show two things at most: First, the golden bottle and the sacrificial skeleton on this pillar show that this is indeed one of the secret cemeteries chosen by the Dali royal family. Second, although this tomb does contain members of the royal family of Dali, it is likely that the tomb was not originally built by the Dali people in the Song Dynasty, and the real owner of the tomb may be traced back to the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom in the same area of the Tang Dynasty. The purpose of Nanzhao to build this underground palace is not necessarily to use it as a tomb, but to place this imitation of the giant "Tianzun Pillar". I think it may have been the Dali royal family who discovered this place, so they transformed it into a royal tomb. Therefore, apart from the tomb outside, the internal structure of this underground palace does not look like a tomb with a coffin at all, but more like an entrance to another world through an iron pillar.
Thinking about this, Liu Shuya's understanding of this underground world has deepened, but this is not helpful for Liu Shuya to improve the current situation.
The most important thing Liu Shuya should do now is to find a way to go further underground and be able to go down to the underground dark river, so as to find Weiwei, Liu Fatzi and Yue Lin. If you can't find a way to continue going deep into the ground in this iron pillar tomb, then Liu Shuya basically has no way out, so he can only go back and see if the abyss after the collapse of the original tomb can try to dive into the underground river again, but according to previous experience, it is a dead end.
The only thing that gives Liu Shuya hope is the underground zombie army that mysteriously disappeared. He believed that Liu Fatzi was not mistaken, and the situation of corpses strewn all over the ground after entering the tomb also proved that there should be such a death warrior haunting the ground, so where did they go?
Liu Shuya's intuition convinced him that after the soulless team left the tomb entrance, it should have come to this iron pillar tomb and disappeared. As long as this inference is correct, there must be another exit from this tomb.
Liu Shuya took his eyes off the iron pillar of Nanzhao and began to look for a way out in the tomb.
But there was no way out, and at a glance, the tomb was full of closed walls.
The experience brought by the previous experience of the tomb shows that the people who built or renovated this ancient tomb like to use the mechanism, so Liu Shuya doesn't care whether it is dangerous or not, he gropes around in the tomb, tramples, kicks, and wants to trigger the mechanism, but all this seems to be in vain, the existence of the mechanism seems to stop at the tomb road, and no secret door is found in the tomb.
After tossing for a while, Liu Shuya was exhausted and depressed. He sat helplessly on the ground, leaning against the wall and staring at the iron pillar in the middle of the tomb in a daze.
At this moment, he missed his comrades-in-arms who had lost not long ago, if Yue Lin was here, with her knowledge of history, maybe she would soon be able to think of a way out. If Weiwei is here, it won't take long for her to find the answer with her carefulness. Even the most coarse Liu Fat Man can provide some advice with his rich experience in visiting tombs, but unfortunately at this moment, they are not there.
Liu Shuya has never felt so lonely and helpless as he did at this moment. I have never experienced the importance of a team as much as I do today!
In the past, when I was an ignorant and ignorant fool in Xiatou Village, I didn't have so many troubles, so people really can't have ties, and with things they care about, people are easy to fall into the psychological trap they set.
However, if Liu Shuya is allowed to choose again, he will still choose his current life, with friends and relatives, it's good! But where are you?
Liu Shuya looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed. It's just that you can't see even the sky here, and you can only see the top of the iron pillar.
The top of the iron pillar was three feet from the roof of the burial chamber. The diameter of the pillar is up to three meters! The inside of the legendary Tianzun Divine Pillar is hollow, and it reaches the sky, penetrating the earth......
Don't?
The scene in front of him collided with the information in his mind, and Liu Shuya suddenly woke up, and he jumped up, rushed to the huge iron pillar, and used the branches sticking out of the iron pillar to climb to the top of the column.
Under the great temptation of new hope, Liu Shuya climbed extremely fast, and climbed to the top of the iron pillar after three times and five divided by two, and looked inside the pillar, ecstatic!
The pillar was hollow and looked like it was going to go deep underground. What made Liu Shuya especially happy was that there was a faint light at the far bottom of the column, and the sound of water flowing came from below.
There is a high probability that there is an underground river on the other side of the pillar! In such a deep underground, there can still be light, and it can only be the light of the everlasting lamp. There must be a hole on the other side of the pillar!
Now the question is, how do we go down?
I don't know how deep it is at the other end of the passage inside the column, and it is estimated that there are at least five burial chambers in height, which is still a conservative estimate.
You can't just jump down in a daze, you must first find out the reality in the column.
It's a pity that the middle of the pillar is pitch black, and I can't see the specific situation clearly.
The flashlight that Liu Shuya brought down from the ancient tomb has long since disappeared after a period of tossing just now.
Seeing that there was a road in front of him, he was anxious, and he turned around and jumped directly from the top of the iron pillar back to the floor of the tomb, although the shock hurt his ankle, but he couldn't care much more.
He rushed to the ever-bright lamp on the wall of the tomb, unceremoniously and directly held the handle of the ever-bright lamp with both hands, stepped on the wall with one foot, leaned back, exerted force with both arms, and pulled suddenly, where can this thousand-year-old thing withstand such destruction? The everlasting lamp was directly pulled off the wall by Liu Shuya. Unfortunately, with too much force, the lamp overturned, the Changming lamp oil knocked over the ground, and the wick fell to the ground. Perhaps it was separated from the lamp, the lamp oil volatilized very quickly, and the lamp oil on the wick on the ground also volatilized in an instant, and the lamp oil was lost, and the wick seemed to have lost its soul, and it quickly decayed in an instant, turning into powder, and the lamp naturally went out.
It can be seen that the wick is nourished by the lamp oil and does not deteriorate for a long time, and the lamp oil is stored by the lamp and does not fade for a long time. In this way, it seems that the lamp of this ever-bright lamp is also extraordinary, and it must be a little exquisite, but Liu Shuya has no time to pay attention to the details.
There is more than one ever-bright lamp in the room, Liu Shuya took the lamp in his hand, scooped up some lamp oil from other lamps, and carefully moved a Changming wick to the lamp in his hand, this wick sucked the lamp oil, gently pinched and did not decay and extinguish, Liu Shuya held an ever-bright lamp, naturally no longer worried about the darkness in the iron pillar of Nanzhao, he relied on another empty one-hand, quickly climbed to the top of the iron pillar, and looked down with the lamp in his hand. The inner wall of it was actually made of a "ladder".
It's a bit reluctant to say it's a ladder, but it's definitely a deliberate structure for people to climb.
The outer diameter of the iron pillar is about three meters, the inner diameter is also two meters, and there are many iron bars that stretch out inward on the inner wall regularly, each one is not more than 40 centimeters long, the thickness of three fingers, and the spiral is arranged downward, and the distance between the adjacent two iron bars is very uniform, and they are all obliquely about 30 centimeters downward. The columns are cast with these iron bars from top to bottom.
Walking down from the "ladder" formed by these iron bars, I'm afraid it's easier than climbing on Mount Hua, as long as it's a normal person, with a little guts, I believe you can climb down, let alone Liu Shuya?
But the iron pillar was built for a long time, Liu Shuya cautiously stepped on the nearest iron bar with his foot to see if it was firm, and stepped on it, the iron stripe did not move, and the sole of the foot added some strength, or did not move, Liu Shuya felt curious, and then used a little more force, the force on the foot was increased to seventy, and the iron bar was only slightly bent, and it was not broken, indicating that the construction process of this Nanzhao iron pillar was excellent, and the internal and external structures of the iron pillar were cast very tough, even if the time was long, there was no change.
This iron bar is cast much stronger than the lantern embedded in the stone wall! According to Liu Shuya's estimate, let alone his well-proportioned Liu Shuya, even if it is a bloated person like two Liu Fat people climbing on the iron bar on the inner wall of the iron pillar, it should not matter.
