Chapter 9: The Big Dipper
In the path of the shrewd, the barren smoke and vines, and the tall weeds, Long Ziyan unintentionally kicked a stone figurine, and took a closer look at the stone figurine falling to the ground, and the head of the stone figurine did not know where it went.
"Brother Kan." "Little Dragon King." Both shouted at the same time.
"Brother Kan, I found a headless stone figurine."
"Me too, I also have a headless stone figurine here, you can take a quick look."
Long Ziyan looked for the sound, and also found a headless stone figurine that fell to the ground, which seemed to have been vandalized, and the head was smashed off somehow, and where was the smashed head thrown away?
Long Ziyan was thinking when he heard Brother Kan shouting: "Little Dragon King, come here, there is another one here." ”
"Also," Long Ziyan immediately ran over, and sure enough, it was another headless stone figurine that fell to the ground, "Brother Kan, someone should have been here before us." ”
"You mean my dad and Uncle Long."
"No, they don't have to get along with the stone figurines, I mean, have you seen the terracotta warriors earlier?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it in books."
"The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are made of clay, and these are carved in stone, although the overall shape is indeed a few points worse, but it is still godlike, this is what I don't understand?"
"What don't you understand?"
"I concluded that the corpse of the Hu people found in the corpse ditch was after the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the stone figurines do look like they were from the Qin Dynasty, which is a bit far away."
"Could it be that this Qin Dynasty tomb was stolen when the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms were stolen?"
"No, the Qin Dynasty didn't rule the world at that time, and the tomb may have been built earlier, so it is not ruled out that the tomb was stolen," Long Ziyan closed his eyes and thought about these stone figurines, and inadvertently realized something and said to Brother Kan: "Look for if there are any stone figurines nearby?" ”
After some exploration, there are a total of nine headless stone figurines here, and the two of them took a knife to clear the weeds next to the nine stone figurines, and found that the stone figurines were not placed randomly, but should be placed by the Big Dipper.
Brother Kan looked left and right and was puzzled, "Why are there two more according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”
"That's not wrong, the Big Dipper we often talk about is actually nine stars, located on both sides of the spoon handle on the left auxiliary, the right two stars are not easy to detect due to their low brightness, they are called hidden stars, and they look like seven stars."
"Nine stars are nine stars, what does this mean?"
"This Big Dipper Nine Stars is one of the Qimen Dunjia, since the tomb is here, then this Big Dipper Nine Stars is likely to be the mechanism that opens the tomb door, as long as he is broken, he doesn't need to hit the hole, and he will enter the tomb directly."
Brother Kan was excited when he heard this, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and break it." ”
"Wait patiently, I'll check." Long Ziyan took out the "Legend of the Dragon Bag" to find the relevant records.
"Alas, big brother, what are you doing in battle?"
"You know a yarn, I have read this "Legend of the Dragon Bag" hundreds of times, I have read some things from the book, and I have really seen it is the big girl on the sedan chair - the first time, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, you don't know what to shout."
"As long as you know how to do it, Young Master Long, what do you see?"
It is recorded in the book: According to legend, when Dayu, a turtle emerged in the Luo River in Luoyang West Luoning County, carrying a "Luo book" and dedicated it to Dayu. Dayu succeeded in controlling the water according to this, and then drew the world into Kyushu. The Big Dipper Nine Stars are as the solution according to the number of the nine palaces of the five elements of Yin and Yang, one, three, seven, and nine are odd numbers, also known as yang numbers, and two, four, six, and eight are even numbers, also known as yin numbers. The number of yang is dominant, ranking four positive,; Yin number is supplemented, located in the four corners; Five in the middle, rustic, for the ancestor of the five elements of life, in the middle of the palace, Jiwang four corners, five for the Yuheng Star, also known as the bird star, in charge of the sacrifice, Brother Kan, you and I work together to push away the stone figurines where the fifth star Yuheng Star is located. ”
The stone figurines were pushed away, and there was indeed nothing underneath, "How can there be nothing?" The entrance to the lower tomb should be here, and Brother Kan took Luoyang to explore below. ”
Brother Kan took out the Luoyang shovel and rubbed it into the ground, and just poked out more than three meters before he encountered a hard object: "It seems right, it's not deep, there is indeed something underneath." ”
"Here's the sealed entrance, hurry up and dig the soil off."
In less than a few minutes, Brother Kan sapped a bluestone slab about one meter long with a sapper shovel, knocked it lightly twice, it was empty, Brother Kan took out a pickaxe to warp the bluestone slab, and a square entrance appeared in front of him, Long Ziyan took a flashlight to shine inside, only to see rows of stone steps extending downward, bottomless.
Just as he was about to go down, Kan Ge grabbed him, "Wait, let the tomb be ventilated first, so as not to have poisonous gases, and eat a full stomach before going down to the tomb." ”
Brother Kan ate bread and asked, "Little Dragon King, are you sure you want to go to the tomb, there are black blood hairs in it." ”
"Of course, after I said it, you are alone, I am more worried about it above than below, and when I see the black blood hair, let him taste the power of my little dragon king, I am a true dragon son descending to earth."
"Take this." Brother Kan handed over a black guy.
"What is this?" Long Ziyan leaned into his nose and sniffed.
"The black donkey's hooves are made of glutinous rice, shaped like donkey hooves, and their color is black, so they are called black donkey hooves. Like a magic weapon to restrain zombies, tomb robbers usually prepare them, and the black donkey's hooves are only useful to zombies for more than fifty years. ”
"You gave it to me, what about you?"
"There is also a spare one in the bag, you also carry this dagger, self-defense, this wolf's eye flashlight you also hold the irradiation distance of fifty to one hundred meters, in case of danger to irradiate the human eye at close range, it can make it blind for about three minutes, at most it can only continue to irradiate for three hours, you don't shine on me, I don't want to be blind yet, I will take the lead and go ahead, you must follow, everything below is under my command."
Brother Kan was ready, shoveled down the stone steps with sappers in his hands, and Long Ziyan followed down the tomb with a black donkey's hooves in his left hand and a wolf's eye flashlight in his right hand.
The light shining through the tomb was shining on the stone steps one by one, and for the fear from the darkness, Long Ziyan nervously held the wolf's eye flashlight and shone around.
"Little Dragon King, don't be afraid, the darkness is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no courage and faith to challenge it! We haven't entered the dungeon yet, so there won't be much danger, so be careful not to shake your hands. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone steps that Brother Kan stepped on suddenly collapsed, and all the stone steps that ran around collapsed, and Long Ziyan fell down the tomb with Brother Kan.
"Didn't you say there was no danger? Swindler! Alas? How can a fall not hurt at all? ”
"Nonsense, I don't hurt when I fall on you, use me as a cushion, and don't pull me up?"
Long Ziyan helped Brother Kan up and muttered, "Even if you pay me back at the corpse ditch." ”
"Stinky boy, you're quite vindictive." Brother Kan reluctantly choked back.
Long Ziyan picked up the flashlight and was suddenly shocked by the image in front of him, "Brother Kan, look back." ”
Brother Kan looked back, only to see the place where the light shined, where it looked like a tomb, it was simply a palace, two rows of stone figurines stood opposite each other on both sides of the tomb door, there were seven stone figurines in one row, and the heads of these stone figurines were still there, and there was a stone horse in the middle of each figurine, kneeling and standing. With the light shining upward, the tomb door is a stone door, there are eight stone steps in front of the door, the left and right tomb doors are engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, the tomb door is about six meters high, the total width is about ten meters, the tomb top is also covered with a layer of black tiles, condescending, majestic.
"Brother Kan, look at your feet, is it a stone figurine head?"
Brother Kan looked down and saw that there was indeed a stone figurine head at his feet, and there were quite a few of them, "This is the head of the headless stone figurines above, and there are a bunch of skeletons next to it, go and see." ”
Long Ziyan stepped forward to observe, "These white bones are piled together in armor, it looks like soldiers, some have several long arrows in their bodies, and some skulls are broken into several pieces, they were discarded here after death, if it is a corpse of a tomb robber, will not so many of them all thrown together?" I don't want to, I can't find a clue, the answer is all in the dungeon, let's go in. ”
Brother Kan slowly walked to the stone steps in front of the door, picked up the sapper shovel and knocked a few times, confirmed that there was no danger, and boldly walked to the tomb door. In order to save electricity, Long Ziyan changed to his own flashlight for lighting, and followed Brother Kan to the tomb gate.
Closer to find that there are a few flat big stones in front of the tomb door, some have been broken in half, Brother Kan saw that this is the mechanism in front of the tomb door, once the person opens the tomb door, the stone will fall from the top and kill the tomb robbers, I don't know if it is the age of the organ failed, the stone actually fell, God blessed. After careful inspection, there were no rocks above the tomb door, and he turned his head to open the tomb door.
Long Ziyan shone on the tomb door behind him, Brother Kan stretched out his hand to push it, but stayed where he was, and asked quietly: "Zijing, have you just touched the tomb door?" ”
"No, I've been behind you all the time, and I haven't touched the tomb door." Long Ziyan's voice trembled a little.
"I haven't touched it either, so take a look at the tomb door."
