Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Gate of Life and Death in the Nine Palaces
Originally, Village Chief Yao's sudden illness made all of us fall into passivity, but we never thought that such an ancient book would be found on him.
Judging from the name alone, "The Complete Solution of the Ancient Tomb Mechanism" is an ancient book that records and deciphers the ancient tomb mechanism, and with it, maybe we can really open the remaining tomb doors without relying on Village Chief Yao.
Of course, I also know very well that it is not so easy to crack the mechanism of the tomb, and the mechanism in the tomb is so cleverly designed that even with this book, we may not be able to understand it.
That being said, it's better to talk than nothing than to stay in the graveyard and do nothing.
"The tomb mechanism is completely solved? This...... This is used to crack the tomb mechanism? Seeing the six big characters on the front of the ancient book, Li Huiyan couldn't help but be a little moved, and a trace of joy flashed on her face.
"Nine times out of ten, I used to hear the elders of the family mention this ancient book, it is said that it was written by a very famous tomb robber in the late Ming Dynasty, which recorded in detail most of the mechanisms of the tombs before the Ming Dynasty, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it." Yang Baichuan also said with a smile.
"Aren't we, then, saved?" Xiao Yue's face was full of excitement and said loudly.
"I just glanced at the content of this book a few times, and it does record the methods of cracking various ancient tomb mechanisms, almost down to every tiny step." I said.
As soon as the words fell, Li Huiyan impatiently snatched the ancient book I was holding in her hand, and directly turned the first page to read it.
Li Huiyan read the book very quickly, and after reading about six or seven pages, her whole eyes lit up, and she was indescribably excited.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue and the Yang family brothers and sisters also leaned their heads over with curiosity.
"Sure enough, it's a good book, the records of the ancient tomb organs are too detailed, even a person who doesn't know anything about the ancient tomb organs can easily crack these ancient tomb organs according to the ancient books." Yang Baichuan only glanced at it a few times, and then he was amazed.
"Well, I can read that, too." Yang Yuqing also said.
"Why can't I understand it at all?" Xiao Yue cried and said very unhappily.
"Don't look at it yet, now that Village Chief Yao is in a coma, let's break the mechanism of this tomb gate first, and if it continues, we will suffocate here." Seeing that a few people were still looking at it non-stop, I reminded me next to me.
When everyone heard this, they realized our current situation, so they began to look for a way to crack the mechanism of the third tomb door in the ancient books.
After about half a minute, Li Huiyan's fingers that kept turning the pages stopped, she glanced at the contents of the book a few times, raised her head and looked at the tomb door a few times, and then showed a smile after repeating it a few times.
"That's it, this organ is called the Nine Palaces Life and Death Gate, and the above records say that it was derived from Fuxi gossip." Li Huiyan pointed to an illustration in the middle of the page.
I stepped forward to take a look, and nodded secretly, the nine-square grid pattern drawn on the page was indeed exactly the same as the one on the tomb door, except that the eight small square stone pillars in the middle were arranged differently.
There are two patterns in the book, the first is the initial pattern, and the second is the final pattern, which is the final step that must be completed to unlock the tomb door mechanism.
"It seems that there are only steps to unlock the door of life and death in the Nine Palaces, and the disrupted Nine Palaces have to be restored by ourselves." Li Huiyan frowned.
"Well, I'm not good at this, and I've never done it." I said.
"My sister and I won't either, we've been practicing martial arts since we were kids." Yang Baichuan also said the same.
"If you don't, then I won't." Xiao Yue hurriedly expressed his attitude.
"Then I'll try it, I used to play this little game when I was a child, but I don't know if it's useful." Seeing that all of us said no, Li Huiyan had no choice but to say.
"Sister Lizi, come on, you will definitely do it." Xiao Yue hurriedly cheered Li Huiyan on.
Li Huiyan glanced at the Jiugong grid on the page again, then took a deep breath and walked towards the tomb door.
originally thought that Li Huiyan would immediately move the nine-square grid, but who knew that she walked to the tomb door but did not move, looking intently at the nine-square grid on the tomb door.
Except for the faint sound of breathing, there was no sound in the tomb, because for fear of disturbing Li Huiyan's train of thought, all of us didn't even dare to breathe.
After about a minute or so, Li Huiyan finally moved, and she stretched out her hand to move the eight small square stone pillars on the nine-square grid.
To the surprise of all of us, Li Huiyan's speed was unbelievably fast, moving one stone pillar followed by another, barely at a distance from each other.
I was a little stunned, I originally thought that Li Huiyan would move and think about it when she moved the Jiugong Grid, but I didn't expect the speed to be so fast, as if all the steps had already been imprinted in her mind.
In less than a minute, Li Huiyan successfully restored the nine-square grid on the tomb door to its original position, without the slightest error, exactly like the pattern drawn on the page.
"Wow, Sister Li Zi is so powerful, you are my idol." Xiao Yue was dumbfounded, and immediately said with a smile after reacting.
"It's very powerful, if I want to come, I guess it will take at least half an hour, and I may not be able to recover." I couldn't help but sigh.
When the brothers and sisters of the Yang family heard this, they also nodded again and again, if you want to compare kung fu, the people present can't compare to them, but when it comes to intelligence, Li Huiyan is also the first.
"You guys have won the prize, I just didn't have any friends when I was a child, and I played this a lot." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.
"Now that the nine-square grid has been restored, the next step is to crack the tomb door mechanism.
Colonel Flower, you're all right? Gathering my thoughts, I asked Li Huiyan.
"Fortunately, I'll try it first, there are detailed steps in the book, and it shouldn't be a problem to follow it." Li Huiyan said.
After speaking, Li Huiyan lowered her head and glanced at the ancient book a few times, and began to move the eight small stone pillars on the nine-square grid again.
"Left, no, no, it should be right, down and down, hmm......" As soon as she moved a few times, Xiao Yue began to command blindly, and when I saw this, I hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth.
As the minutes passed, the atmosphere in the tomb gradually became tense, and everyone knew that success or failure was here, and if we failed, there was no time to start over.
As the oxygen content in the air drops, it becomes a little difficult for us to breathe, everyone's face is red, and the sound of breathing becomes heavy.
"There's one last step left." Li Huiyan's hand moved, turned her head and said to us, it seemed that she was a little afraid to start.
"Well, don't hesitate, there's no time." I hurriedly said.
Li Huiyan nodded, and pushed the small stone pillar left in the middle to the right, and a nine-square grid pattern that was exactly the same as the one on the page of the book was presented in front of everyone.
After doing all this, Li Huiyan was already sweating profusely, and her whole person looked a little prostration.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Li Huiyan's speed is very fast, and it seems that the difficulty of this nine-square grid is nothing more than that.
In fact, otherwise, the mental effort consumed in this is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people, and the next steps are okay, all of them move according to the steps written on the page, but the restoration of the nine-square grid in front really depends on Li Huiyan's own brainpower.
In the absence of oxygen in the tomb, it is really not easy for Li Huiyan to maintain such a clear mind.
Click......
Thundered......
While the last small stone pillar was restored, there was a slight crunch from the tomb door, as if some kind of bracket had been connected.
Immediately afterward, the entire tomb door began to move slowly. Probably because it hadn't been opened for a long time, the tomb door seemed to move a little slowly, but it only took half a minute for it to be completely opened.
No one needed to remind us of anything, but as soon as the tomb door was opened, all of us poured in.
Entering the new tomb, everyone was obviously relieved, the environment just now was simply not for people.
Village Chief Yao still didn't wake up, and the Yang family brothers and sisters worked together to carry him in. Although the symptoms of Village Chief Yao's illness have disappeared, the two episodes in a row and the time interval is so short, Village Chief Yao's body is already a little overwhelmed, and the whole person has fallen asleep.
"We're up to us for the next step." I squatted down and pinched Village Chief Yao's acupoint, but there was no reaction, and I couldn't help but say helplessly.
"Well, I expected it, but it's okay, as long as this ancient book is there, it shouldn't be too difficult to unlock the mechanism on the tomb door." Li Huiyan nodded and said.
"Well, without further ado, let's see what kind of mechanism is on this tomb door." I said.
After saying that, everyone began to observe the tomb door.
This tomb gate is roughly the same as the other tomb gates, but when I saw the mechanism on the tomb door, I couldn't help but jump to my feet and scold my mother.
The mechanism on the tomb door in front of me is simply a copy of the previous tomb door mechanism. But it was such a mechanism, but it was played by the ancient tomb builders.
There are three nine-square grids on the tomb door in front of me, arranged in a zigzag shape.
As before, the three nine-square grids seem to be artificially disrupted, looking disorganized, and it is almost impossible to find a companion pattern.
To the left of the tomb door, there are four dusty skeletons, presumably robbers who once broke into the ancient tomb.
Seeing this scene, I wanted to curse a little, why should I learn from others to rob tombs if my skills are not good, not to mention that I hurt others.
A tomb gate mechanism that was originally good was messed up by these people, and I don't know how much effort it will take to restore it to its original state.
"Found it, it's this organ." After rummaging for a while, we finally found the mechanism map corresponding to the tomb door mechanism in the middle of the ancient book. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
