Chapter 137: The Tragedy
The grave keeper stood at the entrance of the passage and said to Professor Chen: "After entering from here, you will go directly to the peerless town, the exit is at the blacksmith shop at the end of the middle street, you go first, I still have to deal with something." ”
Professor Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to the peerless town to find the Three-faced Buddha first, thank you for your guidance." ”
"You're welcome, after you find the Three-Faced Buddha, you still came here from the original way at the exit, I'll wait for you here, and then I'll take you to Shimen."
Situ Fang took the lead in the passage and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he nodded to Professor Chen and said that there was no problem, and the group went in.
After walking in the passage for three minutes, there was a sudden violent shock under everyone's feet, and they were so frightened that they quickly squatted down against the wall. After a while, seeing that there was no movement, Situ Fang said: "Maybe this is the movement of the gang of tomb robbers who used explosives to blast the place, and there are really a lot of explosives used." ”
Zhang Gong gasped and said, "If, if that's the case, it means that they won't be killed easily, let's speed up." ”
Professor Chen stood up and said, "Yes, their way of tomb robbers is rough and savage, we must find the key to open that stone door before them, and let the police come in and arrest them." ”
When Team Fan heard that the topic was related to them, he immediately followed: "Well, you can't just arrest on the periphery, you must take the initiative!" This group of tomb robbers is too arrogant, and they think that they can be willful with such strong firepower. ”
And so you walked for a few more minutes, and they arrived at the peerless town, and indeed came out of the backyard of a blacksmith shop.
At this point, the air quality is much better, and everyone's spirits are gradually returning to normal. Professor Chen looked at the brilliant lights of the peerless town and said to Zhang Gong: "Old Zhang, where do you say this three-faced Buddha will be?" ”
"The information I got from the grave keeper seems to be telling us that everything here is dominated by the Three-Faced Buddha, and it seems that almost every family here has flaws, and I think the message of the Three-faced Buddha can only appear through the integration of the flaws of each family, otherwise this peerless town will have no value and meaning."
"If you're playing Scrabble, it's too much work."
Situ Fang stood in the middle of the street and looked around and said, "Professor, I don't think the workload will be too much, it shouldn't be that every family has information, maybe the three-faced Buddha you mentioned is hidden in a specific place." ”
After what happened in the past few days, Professor Chen had some trust in Situ Fang's intuition, so he asked with interest, "Then if you follow your intuitive opinion, where might the Three-faced Buddha be?" ”
"Since it's a Buddha, it should be in the temple, otherwise where else can it appear?"
"If the Three-Faced Buddha is placed in the temple openly, then there is no sense of mystery, and there is no need for chance, which should be unlikely."
"Since it is said that the Buddha is the key, that is, it is not too big, maybe the three-faced Buddha is hidden under the nose somewhere?"
"It's dark under the lights? It's a bold idea, maybe we're overthinking it, so there's a temple on the other side of the street, so let's stop by and have a look. ”
After the group came to this two-story temple, they inspected the large and small Buddha statues in the entire temple, and did not find the three-faced Buddha they were looking for, so they turned over the corners and corners of the temple, but there was still no result, and everyone dragged their tired bodies to eat.
After the meal, Professor Chen got to know Chen Zhijun and them, but they found no trace of the Three-faced Buddha. In the end, they discussed, and from tomorrow they would search the peerless town one by one.
Since the police force has been strengthened now, after communicating with the above, the Fan team decided to arrange more than 100 police forces tonight to do control along the place where they walked. On the issue of the guns left behind by the tomb robbers, the Fan team also reported to the authorities, and under the instructions, the Fan team collected all the guns on the expedition team, put them into his backpack, and kept them for the time being, depending on the specific situation, and then decided to use them temporarily by the expedition team.
At the same time, tonight, electricians and monitoring technology followed up synchronously, extending power security and technical defense to the burial pit.
Early the next morning, Professor Chen divided the archaeological team and the expedition team into three groups, with Professor Chen leading the team to be in charge of the middle street, and Zhang Gong and Zheng Suo being in charge of the left and right streets, respectively, and each group was followed by seven police officers to prevent accidents. After assigning the task and scope, they searched the three streets.
But after a whole day of wandering around the peerless town, they didn't find the three-faced Buddha. Seeing that the time was almost six o'clock, Zhang Gong decided to take a look at the previous store, and if there was no more, then call it a day. This shop is different from others, it is a theater, the decoration inside is very unique, Zhang Gong at the door to the signboard and wait for a meeting, then take the lead to step in, just when he just stepped into the threshold, unexpected things happened: the oil lamps inside suddenly lit up, the flames gradually became larger, illuminating the inside; Then, the wooden yong playing on the central stage also slowly moved, and after a while, the percussion and orchestral instruments on the stage sounded.
After Zhang Gong waved his hand and ordered people to stop, he leaned in and looked inside, but he didn't find anyone moving, so he retreated to the door and called Professor Chen and them through the walkie-talkie.
After Professor Chen hurried over, he asked the others not to follow, and all of them stayed outside the door to standby, and pulled Lao Zhang inside alone. After entering, Professor Chen immediately took out his mobile phone to record everything that happened here, and when the music played by Mu Yong appeared in more than two loops, he turned off the mobile phone recording and looked around himself.
There is nothing special about this place except for the wooden yong, which is still playing mechanically on the stage. A few wooden yongs who were listening to the play sat excitedly, with a very intoxicated expression, and at the same time shook their heads with the wooden yongs on the stage.
Professor Chen looked at it and asked, "Lao Zhang, how did you say this wooden yong moved?" Also, how do they play it? ”
"There must be a mechanism under this platform and the collapse, and the mechanism is used to provide power to the wooden yong, I don't understand the performance, but it is not difficult to beat the gong and drum after having the power."
"So those who play the flute, there were no blowers or anything in ancient times, how did that happen?"
"The principle of the bellows, don't you hear it, the rhythm of the wooden Yong blowing is shaking and shaking, it should be such a principle."
"Oh, that is, under the force of gravity and other forces, the bellows are circulated, so how is the power realized?"
"I guess it's similar to a clockwork, as long as you have a long enough travel, and then control the speed in some way, it's not difficult."
"And what do you think is the hardest thing here?"
"If it should be easy to play a certain instrument alone, I think it is the most difficult for these wooden yongs to play a complete melody now, and the music played here seems familiar!"
"I feel the same way, I think I've heard this melody a long time ago, but I can't remember it."
Suddenly, Lao Zhang slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Lao Chen, I remember!" It's a tragedy! ”
