Chapter 34 The Cave Thief and the Qimen Dunjia
I don't know if it was haunted by the psychological hints left by the stone man, but Lao Qiao's smile gave Mr. Zhao an eerie feeling. Mr. Zhao secretly kept a heart www.biquge.info his eyes, and yelled at him: "Old Qiao, why did you come here?" ”
"If you can find here, Lao Tzu can't find it, discriminating against the uneducated soldiers." Old Joe's words were still ugly, but listening to his frivolous tone, he was in a good mood, and he was so angry last night that he was almost like two people. Mr. Zhao then asked, "What are you climbing up there for?" ”
"I said you, don't mess with your compass, it's useless. There is a hole in the pile of stones, and from the inside it will surely be able to get out of this damned woods. It's really time for you to come, Lao Tzu, I was thinking about going in to see what holes were inside, and when I looked down, I saw you walking around with a compass. If you're a few minutes late, I'll go down. ”
"I remember you had a nylon rope in your bag, give it to me."
"Hold on." Mr. Zhao grabbed the nylon rope that Lao Qiao threw down and climbed up little by little, and when he climbed up, Lao Qiao sighed, "Your physical fitness is not good, it is so hard to climb a stone." ”
"Just climb up." Mr. Zhao answered lightly, stood up straight, relaxed his limbs, and went with Lao Qiao to look at the entrance in the center of the stone, "This is the thief hole." ”
"Cave thieves?" Lao Qiao repeated, "What is the grave of the emperor Lao'er underneath?" ”
"You don't know?" Mr. Zhao's face was full of surprise, "Didn't Mr. Sun send you here?" ”
"It's true that the boss sent me, but he never told me...... No, what the fuck does this have to do with you? ”
"I don't know much, but I heard Xiao Ji roughly mention that there is an imperial mausoleum underneath here, where the monarchs of the previous dynasties are buried. There are many organs in the imperial mausoleum, which is strange and inexplicable, because it is a mausoleum built by a foreigner, and the traps and traps cannot be measured by the Central Plains tomb method. Your boss's strange physical condition now has nothing to do with this imperial tomb. ”
"Why does your subordinate named Xiao Ji know so much?" When he went down to the thief cave, Lao Qiao asked in a weird way.
"Who knows." Mr. Zhao's eyes flickered and replied briskly.
The cave has been robbed for quite some time, and many places are blocked, and Mr. Zhao has to clear the road again and again. Lao Qiao helped Mr. Zhao to transport the soil out again and again, and said, "I feel that you are very skilled in these jobs, have you done it before?" ”
"People, in order to support themselves, they don't have to do everything." Mr. Zhao replied noncommittally.
"Hey, too." Lao Qiao whistled, and saw that Mr. Zhao's movements in front of him gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, and he was a little puzzled, "Why did you stop?" Go on. How to rest in such a place that is not embarrassing. ”
"If you look at the surroundings, it's familiar." There was a tension in Mr. Zhao's voice that the bowstring was taut. Old Joe also put away his hippie smile and looked around: "Don't you say that I haven't noticed, you really mention it, it looks like you've been here." ”
"We're back to where we started." I saw Mr. Zhao drop the shovel and stare at the thief hole in front of him, frowning.
"How is this possible," Old Joe smiled, "we have been walking forward, how can we come back in a circle." ”
"I was completely mistaken, I thought that the gravel and dirt blocking the road was caused by the collapse of the old thief cave, but it was not like this at all. This is a Qimen Dunjia. ”
"I heard that Zhuge Liang used stones to set up a formation by the Yangtze River and trapped Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, inside. If this is that kind of thing, we won't be like fish in a fishing net, and we won't be able to get in or out. ”
"Not really, Qimen Dunjia sounds mysterious, but in fact, it is all about using human psychology to set up a situation. When walking in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, people will instinctively choose to walk in the direction of a wide field of vision when they encounter a fork in the road. In this way, when you encounter a blockage, you will adjust the angle, and over time you will fall into a dead circle and the people in the formation will not be aware of it. Mr. Zhao muttered, "I believe my first instinct is not wrong, this is a thief hole, just a modified thief hole that is not easy for people to find their destination, if you go right, you will go down to the mausoleum." ”
Qimen Dunjia, "Qi" refers to three odds, B, C, and D; "Door" refers to the eight gates, "open, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, surprise", which is said to be a mysterious number handed down from the Yellow Emperor. At first, there were a total of 4,320 bureaus, but most of them were lost due to historical reasons and later generations, and few people know about them in modern times. People who can use Qimen Dunjia to put themselves in battle, even if they are not masters of Chinese studies, must not be bad, and they should be inseparable from the accident ten years ago.
Mr. Zhao silently deduced the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, and continued to move forward. He wasn't particularly nervous about this mutated version of the Thief Hole, since he could see that it was Qimen Dunjia, he just had to pay attention to the angle where he had walked crookedly before. Sure enough, after three hours, instead of returning to the original point, the road went straight down, and there was a black hole at the bottom, and there was quite a lot of open space under the dimness of the flashlight.
Mr. Zhao took out the cold fireworks from his backpack, lit them and threw them down, saw a few beams and pillars and the carved reliefs on them, and said happily: "It's here." It's still the old rule, old Joe, you give me the nylon rope, I'll go down first, and then you will come down. ”
Old Joe had no objection. Mr. Zhao tied a nylon rope around his waist and was put down by Lao Qiao little by little and fell to the ground, and he was immediately sneezed by the bad air. He could have overcome the rotten smell caused by the long-term lack of air circulation, but the air here had a strong fishy smell, which was as good as the snake cave, and it could almost make people vomit.
The entrance to a normal robbery cave shouldn't look like this...... Mr. Zhao quickly went through the road he had traveled before in his mind, and suddenly realized the crux of the problem, and a cold sweat came down all of a sudden.
The biggest mystery in the Eight Gates of Qimen is the setting of the "Door of Life" and the "Gate of Death". Because the birth gate is the core and life gate of the formation, it is related to the success or failure of the entire formation. The clever magicians created a special murder hole to protect and cover it, and the mechanism of this murder hole was often fatal, so it was called the "Death Gate".
The door of life and the door of death complement each other, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish. The so-called last darkness before the dawn, right will be born, wrong will die, there is no third option.
Now in this situation, it is clear that Mr. Zhao made a fatal mistake in the last choice and entered the door of death.
"Old Joe, I'm going the wrong way, you pull me up!" Mr. Zhao yelled at the top, but there was no response. When I went to pull the rope around my waist, I found that the other end of the rope had broken and hung limply on the ground.
Damn. Mr. Zhao's mind was blank for three seconds, and then he heard the sound of rustling getting closer and closer to him. He threw out another cold firework, and saw countless living dead disappearing from the woods emerging from all directions of the hall, staggering towards him.
The person at the front had dull eyes and a green face, and it was Lao Qiao.
