Chapter 6: The Sealed Gate (1)
Bailuyuan, the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, under the golden well of the little prince.
Daylight Fantasy? Near-death experience? Netherworld? The endless process of falling, like a book of twenty-four histories, stretches endlessly, endlessly.
Fortunately, he did not fall into the world of eternal nothingness, but the floor tiles flying in the dust. He lay flat and fell, except for the pain in his bones, he did not miss an arm or a broken leg. Immediately afterwards, Ah You fell on his body, fortunately, the girl was lightweight, and it would be really unbearable if Qi Yuanshan pressed it.
Then, the Nine Colors came.
The bronze shell of the Tomb Beast of the Young Kirin Town is not affordable. Qin Beiyang and Ah You rolled left and right respectively, and the nine colors smashed heavily between the two of them, and the floor tiles shattered into several pieces.
Nine colors can't be broken. It rolled around again with agility, rolling over to its feet, its scales stained with a lot of broken brick powder.
Qin Beiyang was about to wave his arms, thinking that he could still spread his wings and fly high, only to find that the feathers on his body were gone, only his smooth body. He is no longer a crested ibis. Ah You also walks swayingly, and it seems that he can't get used to walking on the ground.
"Brother, it feels good to fly to the Tang Dynasty with you just now!"
"Good ......" Qin Beiyang was slightly embarrassed, flying with a girl was equivalent to taking away her heart, "Where is this?" ”
He looked around into the darkness, and the nine-colored glazed fireball spit out, but he couldn't find the border, nor could he see the ceiling, only the black Tang Dynasty floor tiles.
I think that back then, on the first night Qin Beiyang came to the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu's mausoleum, his father told him the ins and outs of Jinjing. Isn't it just digging a deep well in the place where the aura is the most powerful to gather the dragon vein and Yuanyang qi. Later, he followed his father to build Yuan Shikai's Hongxian Emperor's Mausoleum, and dug the golden well with his own hands, but he could only barely fit an adult, how could there be such a vast underground world?
Qin Beiyang was just about to move forward, but was dragged by Ah You, but her mind was still meticulous, and she made a big mark at the place where she fell just now. lest you walk in the darkness without reference and end up lost.
Beneath the gold well, they heard a roar, it was the gears, the clockwork, the springs, the cross turntable that kept the horizontal position forever, the conveyor belt mixed with steel and leather, more like the factories that used steam engines and even electricity in the twentieth century...... In the ancient and backward Republic of China, this voice represents the great dream of civilization, modernity, progress, prosperity and strength and 40,000 people.
Finally, in the midst of the blazing fire and steam, Qin Beiyang saw a huge machine that had never been recorded in "Heavenly Creation". Strictly speaking, this is not a machine, but a complete system, composed of countless machines, power system, transmission system, motion system, control system, shift system...... As sophisticated as a Swiss clock, as ingenious as a German car, as large as a Soviet Russia's vast state apparatus.
When Qin Beiyang was studying at Kyoto No. 3 High School, the first thing he learned was the word "mechanical" in Japanese, and today's Chinese Chinese language also directly adopts the Japanese word "mechanical". THE OLD LATIN IN THE WEST CALLS "MACHINE" "MACHINA", WHICH IS SAID TO COME FROM THE GREEK ROOT, AND GOD KNOWS WHY THE SECOND HALF IS "CHINA"? How much does it have to do with China?
Returning to the huge mechanical system under the golden well, Qin Beiyang's guess about the "Rubik's Cube" is correct, it is this mechanical world that is more than a thousand years ahead of the West that supports the ever-changing interior of the Tang Dynasty Tomb in Bailuyuan, countless tombs and tombs, including the tomb beasts in it, are like Rubik's cubes constantly rearranged and combined, like a kaleidoscope. Only those who have mastered the password of this system can twist the four sides of the Rubik's Cube into a uniform color.
It's an endless new world, both for time and space.
"We said that this is a living grave that breathes and has a heartbeat." Qin Beiyang and Ah You walked between the moving machines, "Finally, I saw its breathing and heartbeat with my own eyes!" ”
Jiu Se couldn't hide his excitement and surprise expression, I am afraid that it is the first time to see this strange scene, and it is under the floor where he has lived for 1,200 years!
They keep their heads down to avoid whirling machines, lest they be smashed into patties by a pendulum, or roasted by heat and flames.
There was a light ahead, and this light led Qin Beiyang forward. Numerous tall mechanical bodies stand on either side, leaving a tunnel-like space in between.
At the end, he saw a door.
Just like the tomb door of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, a pair of sacred deer are carved on the surface of the stone, emitting a faint dark cyan reflection.
There's a seal on the door!
Is this a seal of the Tang Dynasty? Qin Beiyang saw it clearly, this is a seal made of hemp paper, why has it not fallen off after a thousand years? There are also no traces of yellowing corrosion.
Because there is a seal on the seal.
Incredibly, the seal turned out to be a golden pentagram.
Pentagram!
The pentagram on the tomb of Abe Qingming, it is obvious that this pentagram, like the Yin and Yang Dao, was transmitted from the Tang Dynasty to Japan.
I don't know what material it was drawn from? It looks like a pile of reliefs, located exactly at the center point of the seal, with two stone door panels connecting the gaps.
Ah You said faintly on the side: "If you don't take off this seal, you can't open this door." ”
"I bet it's not a tomb door."
Qin Beiyang carefully looked at the fly-headed small block on the seal, and first looked at the text on the first half of the seal-
"The world is vast, and I don't know where to go. The cycle of the sun and the moon repeats itself. ”
Look at the second half of the seal -
"Since Pangu to Xiyi, the tiger and the dragon have been fighting for things. Realize the true meaning of the cycle, and try to discuss the yuan machine after the Tang Dynasty. Qin Beiyang read these two passages repeatedly, "Could it be that this is ...... "Tui Bei Tu"? ”
"Tang Taizong Li Shimin ordered Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang to calculate the national fortune with Zhou Yi gossip. Unexpectedly, Li Chunfeng was out of control, not only calculated the fall of the Tang Dynasty, but also launched the fate of China a thousand years later...... Until Yuan Tiangang pushed his back and said: The heavenly machine must not be leaked, so it was named "Pushing the Back Picture". These words on the seal are the first image of "Tui Bei Tu": Jiazi, dry under dry, dry. The first half of the sentence is a prophecy, and the second half is an ode. ”
"Ah You, why are you so familiar with this?" Seeing that Ah You didn't answer, Qin Beiyang could only continue to talk to himself, "Just these few paragraphs, the prophecy in them is all-encompassing, and it cannot be peeped at by mortals. ”
"There are a total of 60 images in Tui Bei Tu, and each image has 'Sayings' and 'Songs', predicting major events from the Tang Dynasty to the future."
"Coincidentally, there was a great prophet in the French Middle Ages, Nostradamus, who also had a prophetic book called "The Centuries", but it was far inferior to "Tui Bei Tu".
Qin Beiyang carefully examined the words on the two lines of seals - the authentic handwriting of Li Chunfeng, a great feng shui master of the Tang Dynasty? And the five-pointed star seal that locks the seal and the gate also comes from Li Chunfeng's hand?
The eyes of the man I saw on the construction site of the Bailuyuan Tomb in the illusion of falling into the golden well just now and incarnating myself as a crested ibis soaring came to mind.
Even if it is Li Chunfeng's seal, it can be broken! How could an Odyssey that had already traveled in Inner Earth be afraid of a mere pentagram?
"Brother! Don't reach out! ”
Ah You warned, but he couldn't stop Qin Beiyang.
Qin Beiyang, who was naked, had a golden well-like heat in his body, and the craftsman's right hand was like an arrow from the string, grabbing the seal on the stone door, and he was about to tear off this five-pointed star......
