Chapter 4: The Rubik's Cube Tomb (2)

They continued on their way, passing through one fork in the road, one step after another, and no longer daring to open the door of the tomb.

Along the way, a few skeletons were occasionally found, and one place was actually in groups, as if it was a huge team of tomb robbers, all of whom were wiped out by the tomb beasts.

"Nine colors, did you do it?"

Qin Beiyang lowered his head and asked, the small town tomb beast shook his head, looking innocent, neither wanting to take the blame nor asking for credit.

Judging from the belongings and coins of the bones, the earliest ones came from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the latest was the Republic of China, but the most were the former Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that for tomb robbers, this is a big hell, and it may not be more difficult to dig than the Qianling Tomb and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Sure enough, Ah You walked to the next fork and saw the marks he had left behind - this means that they have come full circle and returned to the old road.

It would be nice if the origin point was reversed, at least it could be returned the same way, but this is again a point in the middle. But along the way, Ah You and Qin Beiyang were extremely careful, just to avoid getting lost, and they couldn't understand why this happened?

Unlessβ€”the path they've traveled has changed.

Qin Beiyang immediately checked the gap in the corner of the wall at the fork, and sure enough, there were traces of the mechanism, and there were also traces between the dome and the stone wall. If it was the original appearance 1,200 years ago, even if there were cracks, it would be full of dust, dirt and even sealed. But the joint in front of me is brand new, and there are traces of constant friction and rotation, which is almost like lubricating engine oil.

He pressed his ear to the wall of the tomb again, right at the intersection of the three forks, and sure enough, there was a rumbling sound from the depths of the earth. Qin Beiyang chose the stone wall on the other side of the tomb again, this time the sound did not come from the ground, but from above his head, as if from the cosmic firmament.

"Oh my God!"

Only then did Qin Beiyang realize that the tomb itself was alive!

Between the top and bottom, left and right, interspersed with countless burial chambers, intricate tomb passages, like a huge Rubik's Cube, rotate in various directions.

The Rubik's Cube, invented in 1974 by Hungarian El no Rubik. However, when Qin Beiyang was in high school in Japan, he drew a sketch of the design of the Rubik's cube on the floor of the school library, in order to make it easier to understand the composition and structure of the space cube.

He did calculations on scratch paper that the number of changes in the second-order Rubik's Cube was about 3.67 x 10^6.

If it is a third-order Rubik's cube that was popular in later generations, it is 4.3X 10^19! That's an astronomical amount.

Theoretically, the order of the Rubik's Cube can rise infinitely, which can accommodate almost infinite variations.

In a way, the Rubik's Cube is a bit like the Chinese game of Go.

Perhaps, this huge underground Rubik's Cube is borrowed from the calculation method of Go?

The big tomb that Qin Beiyang is in now is equivalent to how many levels of Rubik's Cube, and how many tombs and tombs there are, I am afraid that only the designers of Wu Zetian's era can know.

And who is this genius mausoleum designer? A certain ancestor of the Qin Clan's tombsmith clan? Qin Beiyang is unknown.

However, he remembered a tomb.

"Sister Ayou, do you remember? On the banks of the Mudanjiang River in the three eastern provinces, the seven-story stone tomb of the Bohai Kingdom that we explored together. ”

"Well, the Goddess of the Eagle's Head Tomb Beast."

"I mean, the shape of that mega tomb is very special, and it is also a collection of many different burial chambers in one tomb, like many rooms in a skyscraper." Qin Beiyang touched the stone wall and said, "The Bohai Tomb was also built by one of my ancestors of the Qin family, and it was only more than 20 years later than the time when the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, King Zhongnanjun, was buried. ”

"What does my brother mean - the shape of the Bohai Super Tomb is derived from this Rubik's Cube Tomb?"

"Coming from the same family, almost the same era, it is likely that it is a craft passed down from father to son."

Ah You thought thoughtfully: "For the dead souls in the tomb, it is like the past life and this life?" ”

That's a good analogy! Twenty years, in ancient times, was two generations. However, the difference between the two tombs is that although there are dozens of burial chambers in the Bohai Tomb, they are all fixed and dead; And the Bailuyuan Tomb where we are is is still alive - it can automatically change the position of the tomb and the tomb road, like a huge Rubik's Cube, which is much more advanced than the Bohai Tomb. ”

"A tomb that breathes and has a heartbeat?"

Another text came to Qin Beiyang's mind: "I remember, the text in the Bohai Tomb records that the Bailuyuan Tang Dynasty Tomb is an imperial tomb!" It's far more than the little prince Zhongnan King Li Longqi. ”

"The level of this tomb is even higher than that of the emperor!"

"Hence the Nine-Colored ......"

He looked down at the snow-white antlers of the town's tomb beasts, and the glass-colored eyeballs that were wide open......

Since it is unspeakably expensive, it is not spoken!

But this sentence reminded Ah Yu, and her shakuhachi pointed to the crooked tomb and said, "You are stupid! Wouldn't it be okay to let the nine colors lead the way! ”

"Why didn't you think of that?" Qin Beiyang patted his thigh, squatted down and said to Jiuse, "Go home!" Take us back to your original home! ”

Jiuse has lived for a long time in the twentieth century, and has long been able to understand the language of this world, not only the official dialect of Beijing, but also Tianjin, Shaanxi, Henan, Northeast and even Anna's Shanghainese.

Eighteen-year-old Ah You sneered and thought to himself - my brother is sometimes genius, and sometimes he is much more stupid than ordinary people, I am afraid it is the way of thinking of craftsmen.

The young Qilin Town Tomb Beast who returned to the door of the house had already seen that the two of them were constantly lost and unpleasant, and immediately became majestic and high-spirited, passing through the tomb roads, climbing up and down, simply going over the mountains and mountains, shuttling at many forks in the road.

Looks like a detour? Qin Beiyang kept reminding Jiu Se not to kill the master.

Finally, at the end of a straight tomb passage, the tomb door on the King Kong Wall appeared.

It's still a tomb beast!

There is a pair of deer carved on the stone gate, with quite exaggerated antlers, and the shape is very different from the current sika deer and red deer, quite a bit of the taste of the ancient deer.

Could it be the prehistoric fawn in the Nine Colors body that has long been extinct?

Without Qin Beiyang pushing the door with his hands, the town tomb beast used its snow-white antlers to quietly open the door of the tomb. Since the catastrophe four years ago, this door has been closed, and no one has ever stepped into it.

The real underground palace of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, the core of the entire Bailuyuan Tomb.

Taking a deep breath, the breath in the dungeon suffocated ordinary people, but it made Qin Beiyang's heart relaxed.

Qin Beiyang is in front, Ah You is behind, and Jiuse is wandering around, like a child who has been lost for many years, and finally returns to his own home, which is both excited and curious, wanting to find old memories, but also difficult to adapt to the changes over the years.

Change is looted!

The warlord of four years ago was tantamount to a robber who killed people and crossed goods. They forcibly broke into the underground palace, knocked down the tomb beast with twentieth-century weapons, and opened and transported the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. As for the gold and silver treasures here, the jars and jars are long gone......

Jiu Se bent his knees and knelt in front of the only intact mural, his expression sad, and he even shed a few tears.
