Chapter 555: Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
The arched tomb road and the square tomb road have been walked before, and now only the circular tomb road has not been walked, Senior Brother Geng probably thinks that the road we chose in front of us is wrong, and the remaining one may be the right choice.
I shook my head: "Don't rush to act yet, wait and see." ”
After saying that, I beckoned to Dawei again: "Dawei, shoot again." ”
David used his sniper rifle to make a new hole in the ground, and I sank the glass egg into the yin soup, and it moved towards the solid wall directly opposite the three tomb entrances.
We'll have to wait and see, hoping that the next time the ground shakes, another graveyard will appear on that wall.
I asked Liu Shangang: "Thin monkey, how long have we been in the tomb?" ”
Liu Shangang looked at his watch: "Ten minutes and less than four hours." ”
I took out the dry food and water from my backpack and said to the people around me, "Eat something, drink some water, let's rest here for a while before leaving." ”
For me and them, going to the grave is not an unusual thing, and we have also had the experience of eating in the cemetery in the past, dry food with jerky, and I don't think the taste of the two foods is any different from usual. But when Senior Brother Geng and Dawei were chewing jerky, their expressions looked like they were chewing wood, and both of them had bitter and bitter hatred on their faces.
I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Is it the first time Senior Brother Geng has gone to the tomb?" ”
Senior Brother Geng took a breath and said with some embarrassment: "I followed Master once when I was a child, and since then, there has been a shadow in my heart. ”
I asked Dawei again: "Dawei, what about you, the first time you went to the tomb?" ”
Dawei: "It's not the first time I've been around, and none of the tombs that I can go through are as evil as they are now. ”
I can interpret what he meant by that he had been to an ancient tomb, but he had never been to such an evil tomb.
Liu Shangang is right, Dawei came to assist me fake, his real task is to monitor our every move and help the organization confirm whether we are ghosts. Even my Senior Brother Geng also came with a surveillance mission.
Thinking of this, my heart was panicked, after this, I didn't communicate more with Senior Brother Geng and Dawei, I didn't even want to look at them, I always felt that their eyes when they looked at me became a little strange.
After eating, everyone's physical strength was restored, and I sat in the center of the tomb, silently staring at the solid wall opposite, silently waiting.
I don't know how long I waited, but the long-lost "click" sound finally came from the tomb behind me, the ground shook, and a large amount of dust fell on the top of the tomb, and even a large number of ghost-eyed shovels also fell.
The dust gradually cleared, and finally three tomb openings appeared on the solid wall opposite.
I still chose the square mouth directly opposite, and the direction of its straight extension is consistent with the direction pointed out by the glass egg.
As soon as I entered the tomb, I felt that the evil aura in the air had become a little thicker, but this concentration was always maintained within the range that ordinary people could bear, and Senior Brother Geng and Dawei would not be affected too much.
I walked silently, and Senior Brother Geng retreated to the middle of the group, followed closely by Xian'er and Luo Fei.
After less than ten minutes of walking through this tomb, cracks and footprints appeared on the floor, and under the light of the fox fire lantern, those cracks cast dark green shadows, which looked very strange.
Soon, however, there was a large and complete stone pavement ahead, and every stone slab on the ground was intact, and the behemoth lurking in the tomb had apparently not appeared here.
I shone the bronze walls on both sides with fox fire, all of them were solid walls, and there were no holes in them. I don't know how the monster got out of this graveyard.
Later, we encountered a three-way entrance at the end of the square tomb road, and I stopped, measured the source of the Qi field of the Yin Measurement Soup with a glass egg, and chose the arched tomb road opposite the three-way entrance.
Walking in such a tomb, I can't see any other colors around except the faint green of the fox fire lantern, which makes me feel that everything in this space is repeating itself.
In such a place, the perception of time becomes very numb, and I don't know how long I walked to the end of the arched tombway, beyond which there is a small burial chamber.
The furnishings in this chamber were identical to those of the first two chambers, but I noticed that the lid of the middle coffin was much less grease, and there were two shallow depressions in the ground next to this coffin.
I couldn't help frowning, this coffin should be the one I had opened, and the depression in the ground was smashed by me with the hilt of the green steel sword.
It seems that we made a big circle in the tomb and finally returned to square one.
Luo Fei, who didn't speak much all the way, also muttered behind me: "Why did you turn back again?" ”
yes, how did you turn back again?
I asked David to make a hole in the ground and re-test the source of the Yin Measurement Soup with the glazed eggs, and the direction in which the glazed eggs moved showed that we had indeed made a mistake along the way, but we did indeed return to the original burial chamber.
Could it be that the source of Yin Soup is also constantly changing, so that we have been chasing this source for so long, and finally we are still going around in circles.
At this time, there was a "click" sound in the tomb, I quickly led everyone into the tomb, when the ground shook, I carefully paid attention to the connection between the tomb entrance and the tomb, and found that when the dust was splashed, the top of the tomb seemed to have signs of moving.
Three new tomb openings appeared on the solid wall opposite, and I was not in a hurry to choose the way, so I let Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai carry me up, and carved a trace on the top of the tomb with a green steel sword, there was no ghost eye shovel in this tomb, and the top of the tomb was a layer of soil.
When he put me down, Liu looked at his watch.
After a while, the clicking sound was heard again, the ground shook, the dust splashed, and the tomb crossing on the left wall disappeared, and a new tomb crossing appeared on the solid wall on the right.
Liu Shangang looked at his watch again and said to me, "The interval between the two shocks is twenty-four minutes. ”
I nodded, and when the earth was no longer falling above my head, I looked up and saw that the mark I had carved with my bluesteel sword had moved a long distance to the left, and it had been facing the center of the burial chamber, but now it had moved to the base of the wall.
The layer of soil above our heads does not move, it is the burial chamber itself that is displaced.
Later, I tested the direction of the source of the yin soup again with the glazed eggs, and the glazed eggs still pointed to the solid wall that had just disappeared at the entrance of the tomb.
I'm not sure how the burial chambers moved, if they were simply moving left and right, then when I probed the source of the Yin Soup, the glazed eggs should have moved in an oblique direction to the left or right, but it was straight forward several times, indicating that the position of the source of the Yin Soup and the relative position of the burial chamber had not changed much.
Of course, the premise is that the source of the yin soup did not move with the burial chamber.
After waiting for a long time, the ground shook again, and the three tomb entrances reappeared on the bronze wall on the left.
Liu Shang looked at his watch and said to me, "The time interval has not changed, it is still twenty-four minutes." ”
I put away the glazed eggs and walked straight into the square entrance of the tomb, and this time, the evil spirit in the tomb was gone.
When I first entered the entrance of the tomb, I heard Liang Houzai ask Liu Shangang: "What time was the vibration just now?" ”
Liu Shangang: "Two o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Liang Houzai pinched his fingers and counted for a while, carved a "E" character in the tomb with a sapper shovel, and after entering the tomb, he carved a "戌" character at the entrance of the tomb.
Seeing his actions, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, and asked him from afar: "Houzai, what are you doing?" ”
Liang Houzai didn't explain much, but responded: "I suddenly have some ideas, but I need to verify them." ”
After a while, he added: "Yesterday and the night before yesterday, the Qi field of the forest changed in Hai, and if my speculation is correct, what we are looking for should be in Guihai." ”
Hearing him say this, I still don't understand what he's thinking, except that he probably thought about something related to the sexagenary branch through some clues.
Every time I walked in the tomb, there was no abnormal sound, and the ground did not shake, and I went along the tomb road, and soon it was a fork in the road, and I didn't plan to use the glass eggs to detect the source of the yin soup, and wanted to go straight into the square crossing that was facing us, but Liang Houzai ran over from the back of the team and suggested that I measure the direction of the source of the yin soup again.
I didn't know what he was thinking, but I did it.
This time, the glass egg did not move straight ahead, it moved diagonally to the left for some distance, pointing towards the arched tomb.
I asked Liang Houzai: "How do you know that the direction has changed, have you found something?" ”
Liang Houzai shook his head: "I'm not sure if my speculation is right now. However, if my assumption is correct, we should be able to return to the burial chamber at six o'clock tonight. ”
I put away the glazed eggs and led everyone into the vaulted tomb.
When he came out of the tomb, the time on Liu Shangang's watch went to 4:10 p.m., and as soon as Liang Houzai entered the tomb, he carved a "A" character on the floor, and carved a "Chen" character in the tomb we passed.
After ten minutes, the ground shook, the tomb entrance behind him disappeared, and three new tomb entrances appeared on the bronze wall in front of them. ”
I used the glass egg to turn it sideways, and the source of the yin soup was indeed in that direction. So he asked Liang Houzai: "How do you identify the direction?" ”
Liang Houzai beckoned to me, motioning for me to go over and look, I came to the entrance of the tomb, and I saw a "Chen" character appear on the ground, this word is Liang Houzai just carved.
I stared at the inscription on the ground, and Liang Houzai said to me on the side: "Brother Dao, if nothing else, the next tomb we encounter should be the one engraved with the word 'E'." ”
I asked him, "How do you speculate?" ”
Liang Houzai: "I also heard Liu Shangang say that the time interval between the two vibrations is twenty-four minutes, so I thought that the person who designed this tomb should have divided the twelve hours of the day into sixty equal parts, and one Jiazi is also sixty years, and he divided the time of the day into sixty equal parts, which may deal with the way of dividing the heavenly and earthly branches." The tomb road is the earthly branch, and the tomb chamber is the heavenly stem, and the structure of this tomb should correspond to the scale plate of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch. ”
After finishing Liang Houzai, he added: "But I'm still not sure, what we are looking for corresponds to the time when the forest moved, if it can correspond, combined with the nature of the yin soup, it is basically certain that we will find the tomb and tomb road corresponding to Gui and Hai at 0:00 a.m. tonight, and the thing we are looking for is either in that tomb or in that tomb road." ”
I chewed on what he said carefully, and shook my head helplessly: "Damn, I don't understand, let's go." ”
