Chapter 40: The Hole in the Wall
This hole should be a key point in the whole incident, the memory of the stuffy oil bottle is interrupted here, and the future thing is a mystery, what is in the cave, how did he get out, whether other people have lost their memories like him, and now it is still speculation that there is no basis at all.
I looked at this hole carefully, from the appearance alone, this can only be said to be an artificial door hole with a very unreasonable position (except in the tunnel war, I haven't seen who will open the door in this place), the place that can be seen inside the door, are made of the same yellow mortar bricks as the outside, very ordinary in structure, such holes I have seen in the charcoal factory in Shanxi I don't know how much, are used to make brick kiln patios, but open here, in the pattern of the tomb is very abrupt, I don't know what it is for.
As far as I can remember, almost all burial chambers were symmetrical, and it was rare for a passage or an extra room to be opened in one place for no apparent reason, unless the owner of the tomb had this habit of doing so. If this is not the reason, then there are only two possibilities: my first thought is that there may be some secret burial goods placed inside, which is not surprising, on the grandfather's notes, there are many people who design dark rooms in their own tombs, but these dark rooms are generally very well camouflaged, this hole, that is, there is no trap door, there is no camouflage, just a mirror is placed outside, it seems too child's play.
The second possibility is related to feng shui, the reason I infer is that the mirror is a very important prop in feng shui, so there should be a kind of ** here, generally speaking, to open a door in a room, it is the manifestation of "through" in feng shui, that is, to bring something in, or let it out.
This is small feng shui, which is very different from the great feng shui of ancient times, just like the Mahayana and Hinayana in Buddhism. Small feng shui pays attention to change, that is, through certain means, the small range of bad changes to good, for this piece of knowledge, because it is more interesting, I know that it is more than big feng shui.
I followed the diagonal of this mirror and walked away to look elsewhere, hoping to find some hints for me. The whole room here is exactly the same as the stuffy oil bottle said. However, because it still retains its appearance from 2,000 years ago, there is a night pearl illumination in only four directions, and the model of the heavenly palace in the middle is hidden in the darkness. You can only look at a few parts with a flashlight. After scanning around a few times, my eyes were drawn to the shadows on the walls.
I have already described the content of these four pictures before, but at that time, I also heard the description of the stuffy oil bottle, which was very vague, and now I can see it myself. I found that these paintings are actually very realistic, as long as you are careful enough, you can also see a lot of specific things.
First of all, I noticed at a glance that the snow-capped mountains in the painting were most likely the northern slopes of the Changbai Mountains in Jilin. It's not that my memory is amazing, it's just that the main peaks of Changbai Mountain are very distinctive, and everyone who has been there should be able to distinguish them.
The second is that I noticed it in the second painting. The funeral procession was wearing Yuan clothes, which means that the person in this coffin should be a prominent Yuan Dynasty magnate. Then the construction time of this Genting Heavenly Palace is very likely to be the end of the Yuan Dynasty at the turn of dynasties, in such a troubled era still has the ability to build such a huge mausoleum, this tomb owner is definitely not simple.
The third thing that surprised me the most was that all the funeral processions were women, which was really unreasonable, I don't know how the Mongolian burial rituals were, but all of them were buried by women, which was really unheard of.
There are so many other small details like this that I don't know if it's a deliberate clue from the engraver, or if it's just their own way of doing things.
When I saw this, I already knew very well in my heart that with these clues, as long as I found a local mountain man who was familiar with the terrain, it was absolutely possible to find the location of this palace, but it was buried under the snow layer for hundreds of years, and the frozen soil was very soft, once the excavation was not careful, a small avalanche was enough to make you sleep in the snow forever.
But these hints should have nothing to do with the hole in the corner, I went to check the mirror in the other corners and the wall behind it, and found that there was nothing special, it seemed that all the questions, only by entering the hole, had a chance to find the answer.
When I returned to the cave, I saw that the bottle was still staring, and there was a rare hesitation in my eyes, as if I was considering something. He saw me coming and suddenly said to me, "I might have to go in again." ”
"Nope." I was taken aback, "Aren't you going to die?" If you lose your memory for another twenty years, everything is meaningless. ”
He said lightly: "I am different from you, for you, what happened here is just a bizarre experience, and for me, it is a huge knot, if I don't untie it, even if I remember everything, this life will not be easy." ”
I was anxious when I heard this, and even said no, in fact, I didn't understand him, but the environment we are in now does not allow for extraneous branches, and going out as soon as possible is something we should consider. Otherwise, even if I knew all the secrets of the world, the air ran out, all the people would suffocate to death, and the secrets would immediately lose their value.
When I told him about my concerns, he was a little ambivalent and asked, "How sure are you that we can get out?" ”
Hearing him ask like this, I remembered that I hadn't looked closely at the top of the treasure here, and I hurriedly looked up to take a closer look.
In all the notes I have read, the top of the Ming tomb is described as very strong, the so-called seven horizontal and eight vertical, according to my thoughts, this treasure top in order to resist the pressure, should be with an arched structure, the center is high, the sides are low, but now it seems that it seems to follow the land and underground palace method, made into a flat roof. So in any place to open a hole, it doesn't matter that the top of the treasure is more than ten meters high from us, there is nothing to step on here, you can only make a fuss from the pillar on the side, knock out a few pits on it with temples, and then climb up, knock the white plaster on the surface, and then start to deal with the green bricks, we don't need to be too careful, as long as the time is calculated, destroy the pressure-bearing structure above, and the top will naturally collapse a hole. We waited until the sea filled this tomb and we could easily escape.
The most important thing in this plan is to grasp the time, if it is not at low tide, once the pressure structure is destroyed, maybe the entire treasure top will be washed away by the rushing sea water, crushing us to death inside.
I told him about this and the stuffy oil bottle, and I emphasized to him that we actually had a very good chance of going out. It's just that as soon as you go out, this tomb will be completely destroyed, but this tomb will not disappear. Everything that should be in it will still be there. He could have come back in a few days with his equipment ready, and he wasn't in a hurry to do so.
He nodded, and was finally persuaded by me, and the fat man couldn't help it, and said, "Since that's the case, what are you waiting for." Let's just do it now and get this pillar done first. So as not to be in a hurry."
I glanced at my watch, there were still six hours before the low tide, and there was still plenty of time, so I looked up and said, "We have been very physically exhausted just now, and we haven't eaten at all, and the state of the person is very low, we should have a good rest at this time, and wait for us to go out." I don't know what will happen, maybe the boat above has already sailed away, if you don't have the physical strength, go out and drown, it will be a great loss. ”
The fat man was originally highly motivated. Listening to what I said, it made sense, scratched his head depressedly, and said, "What the hell do you have to wait?" Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and call me when the work starts. ”
I also found a place to lean on, but my mind did not stop, I calculated if the sea began to pour in, probably how to walk, now the passage to the bottom of the pool stone tablet has been closed, although it is not sealed, but the water must be slower than the water, a large amount of water will definitely pour into the strange wall hole first, but it is not as good as the road to this low hole to go somewhere, if he is connected to other rooms, it will be very troublesome, here will form a whirlpool, encircle us all in.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the depths of the hole, thinking about what could be done to plug the hole, and then I thought that I could pile those models together, and I estimated the height and width of the hole, and thought about how to plug it properly.
However, the moment I concentrated my attention, a very strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart.
In the darkness of the doorway, there was a force that was strongly attracting my attention. This force is not only strong, but also has a certain compulsion, and I tried to turn my head, but I found that I couldn't move my neck, and I couldn't even move my eyes.
At the same time, I immediately felt anxious, which is difficult to describe, like a person who is extremely hungry and gets a bag of food and can't tear open the package. This anxiety soon generated a strong urge in my heart to enter this door and have a look.
It all happened almost instantaneously, without warning, and by the time they sensed something was wrong, it was too late, and I pushed away the bottle of stuffy oil in front of me and rushed into the hole. Because I was so close to the mouth of the cave, I rushed into the darkness in a few steps, and he couldn't pull it even too late.
At that time, I didn't think about what I was doing, I just wanted to run to the deepest part of the hole, and I didn't even have a flashlight, I just ran forward in the dark, not caring about my feet. I didn't notice if I was catching up behind me.
But after only a few steps, suddenly there was a strong wind behind him, and then there was a huge pain in the knee joint of his left foot, and the whole foot could not exert his strength, and he fell to the ground.
The fall was so hard that my forehead hit the floor, my brain was buzzing in pain, and my nose was bleeding. But after taking a step like this, the anxiety in my heart suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
I chuckled in my heart, I only felt an indescribable strange feeling, this cave is so powerful, just seeing a cloud of black, can make people lose their minds, I just looked at it, and I fell for it.
When I looked back, I saw that the stuffy oil bottle and the fat man had chased after me, and there was a flashlight lying on the side, and it seemed that this was the thing that hit me in the knee.
The two of them walked up to me, and without saying a word, dragged me out, but I was injured in one knee and couldn't stand up, and they couldn't lift it after a few hugs, and the light was dim here, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
The fat man saw that one hand was too inconvenient, so he put the flashlight in the nest and hugged me with two hands, his movements were very violent, and I was almost shocked by him.
At this moment, the light of his flashlight swept over a place, and my eyes flashed, as if I saw a person squatting in the darkness.
The speed of the light was too fast, I didn't see it clearly, but I was very sure that it must be a person, I immediately thought of the third uncle, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, there is someone in front!" ”
The fat man listened, looked back, and swept a back, but he had already stood up and was running quickly towards the hole.
At this time, the three of them saw it very clearly, we were all in a row, but we didn't see who it was, the stuffy oil bottle reacted the fastest, and immediately shouted: "Chase!" After saying that, he chased after him, and the fat man scolded and had to follow.
I exerted a few efforts, but I could only barely stand up, limping to follow, at this time, the stuffy oil bottle had been twisted with the man, and then the fat man also pounced, and the two people one after the other, directly pressed the man to the ground. The fat man took a flashlight, "ah", and shouted, "It's A-Ning!" ”
I went up to take a look and was taken aback to see that she was unkempt, her wetsuit was torn, and she smelled bad. There were blood stains on the nose and the corners of the mouth. I really don't know what happened to her to make it like this. But then I found out that in fact, the three of us were no better, especially the fat man, who was simply covered in wounds, and it was miserable.
When the fat man saw this woman, he pointed at her nose and started scolding, but after a few curses, the stuffy oil bottle suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, something is wrong with her!" ”
