"Deep Lake Tomb Chapter 23 Bagua Maze"
After crossing the previous river, I also felt a kind of exhaustion that I had never felt before. The things I have experienced along the way have made my nerves completely tense www.biquge.info the pen "Fun". If I were given a bed at this time, I guess I would immediately pounce on it and sleep until I woke up naturally.
Ren Ke may have also seen my tiredness, and after stopping, he said to me: "If you feel tired, just take a rest here." ”
I nodded, and then quickly leaned against the stone wall next to me and gasped. Look at what I look like now, and look at what he looks like like heaven and earth. It's been such a long time, and Ren Ke's physical strength has obviously consumed more than mine, but there is no fatigue in his body at all.
I handed the kettle to Ren Ke and asked, "I really don't know what kind of monster you are, such a proud physical strength is simply not like what you have at this age." ”
Ren Ke glanced at me with some confusion, and then quickly turned his head and said, "It's nothing, it's always been like this." ”
I looked at him and continued, "Actually, I asked you a long time ago, why do you know so much about the things under the ancient tomb? ”
Ren Ke's movements were a little stunned, as if he was asking a question he didn't want to answer. He paused for two seconds and then said, "I used to do this business, and the more I did, the more I naturally understood." ”
After that, I sat down far away from me, and I was stunned for some reason. It's possible that these words are just casual words from him, and I've known him for so long, and I don't think he's a person who can talk to others.
After a break of about ten minutes, the two of us immediately walked forward. Although I don't know what the situation will be like after that. But I always feel at ease when I have Ren Ke by my side.
Now the cemetery we are walking is much larger than the previous one, because the cemetery we walked before is very narrow, and it is very difficult to even pass through one person, but this cemetery is different, Ren Ke and I walk side by side There is still a large empty space.
After turning a corner, a burial chamber appeared. Strange to say, since we came to this ancient tomb, we have seen no less than two tombs alone. I didn't expect there to be one here.
The decoration of this burial chamber is much more formal than that of the previous burial chamber. There are many bronzes scattered around the corners of the tomb, and there are also a lot of jade objects mixed in them. There is also a coffin in the center of this burial chamber, but this coffin is a complete sarcophagus as seen in the previous burial chamber.
A few years ago, I saw in the materials of the school's library that the burial goods of the tombs of the Shang kings and nobles at all levels were extremely rich and exquisite. Including all kinds of bronze, jade, pottery, lacquered wood, bone and horn ware, etc. More than 460 pieces of bronzes, more than 750 pieces of jade tools, more than 560 pieces of bone and horn tools, and nearly 7,000 pieces of seashells were buried in the tomb of the woman. Triple Ringing, ? Even Fang Yi, ? Jade Dragon, ? Yufeng, ? Jade Eagle, ? Jade? Jade, ? The Jade Dragon and the Strange Bird? Ivory cup with flowing tiger (business)?).
These funerary goods are basically only on the scale of princes, but so far China has not found any tombs of Shang Dynasty monarchs, and if they are found, they will inevitably be several times more than the above.
And the tomb in front of me, whether it is bronze or jade, is far more than several times. And the identity corresponding to such a number of funerary goods must also be equivalent to a mausoleum of a monarch during the Shang Dynasty.
Ren Ke walked in with a flashlight, picked up a bronze and looked at it. These bronzes are very old, and the workmanship is far more elaborate than what you can see at auction. The value of this is immeasurable, both monetary and archaeological.
However, Ren Ke didn't seem to be a greedy person, but after looking at it for a while, he casually threw it aside and said, "Someone has come in this tomb before." ”
Hearing Ren Ke say this, I also chuckled in my heart and then said, "Has anyone come in?" ”
Ren Ke stood up, clapped his hands and said, "This tomb should be the burial goods of the tomb owner, but according to the rules of the Shang Dynasty, the burial items should be placed very neatly." ”
Speaking of this, Ren Ke pointed to the pile of things piled up in front of him and said: "But now, these things are all placed here in a disorderly manner, bronze and jade have not been mixed together, and there is no dust on these thousands of years of things, isn't it strange?" ”
Speaking of which, it also occurred to me that there was a mysterious person in front of us who had never met, and it seemed that he had already entered this tomb in advance, and at his rate, maybe the contents of the main tomb would really be taken by him.
Ren Ke's brows gradually furrowed and then said, "There is not much time left, we have to catch up quickly!" ”
I looked at Ren Ke with some surprise, I have known him for so long, he has always been very calm and calm, and I have never seen him so anxious. I think he also cares about the things in the tomb very much, and he doesn't want to give it to people like this.
When it comes to physical strength, this Ren Ke is the best of all the people I know, not one of them. I was already out of breath, but he was like nothing. But according to the current situation, I can only grit my teeth and follow closely.
On this road, Ren Ke also found a lot of traces of people passing, and we also followed these traces along the way. And when he came to a fork in the road, Ren Ke suddenly stopped.
I looked at Ren Ke who stopped, and then looked ahead with some puzzlement, there were many forks in the road ahead, but this fork in the road gave me a sense of déjà vu. Immediately, I looked at Ren Ke, and suddenly the previous scene appeared in my mind.
I looked at the fork in front of me and then said with some confusion: "Isn't this the eight-way fork we encountered before?" ”
Ren Ke's expression was a little solemn, and then he said: "No, this is not the previous one, but it is just a little different." ”
I pointed to the seven graveyards on the ground and said, "Could it be this grave road?" That's the way we walked when we came in. ”
Ren Ke shook his head and said, "This matter is not as simple as we imagined, and the owner of the tomb should not fix the correct tomb path." ”
I looked at the graves and got a little dazed, and then I muttered, "There are eight more graves, what does that mean?" ”
Ren Ke seemed to hear what was coming out of my mouth, and stood there a little stunned. But after a few seconds, he stared at the fork in the road ahead as if he remembered something.
"Eight grave roads, eight."
"Could it be, gossip!"
"Gossip?" I repeated in my mouth, I don't know much about gossip, I just know the origin of this gossip.
According to Chinese folklore, gossip originated from Fuxi, the head of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, who began to draw gossip in Tianshui Hexagram Taishan, and opened the sky with a painting. Bagua represents the yin and yang system of things that change themselves, using "one" to represent yang and "-?-" to represent yin, using these two symbols to combine in parallel according to the changes of yin and yang in nature to form eight different forms, called Bagua.
And the fork in the road in front of him happens to have eight tomb roads, and it is really like what he said, it is formulated by gossip.
Ren Ke walked to the first tomb and looked at it and said: "If I guess correctly, this should be the 'Bagua Maze', only one of the eight roads is a way of life, and the rest are all dead ends." If you take the wrong step, you'll be stuck in an endless loop. ”
I gasped and said, "This is a little too evil, isn't it?" "In addition to this, I have redefined the engineering of this ancient tomb. It's a miracle that there is an ancient tomb of this magnitude underneath the ground, and now it is possible to set up a labyrinth of endless loops here. I really don't know how big this tomb is!
Ren Ke walked to the entrance of the cave we had just passed and stopped, then closed his eyes and didn't know what he was muttering.
"One represents the Kan hexagram, located due north; The second represents the kun hexagram, located in the southwest; The three represent the trigram, which is located in the east; The four represent the Xun hexagram, located in the southeast; Five represents the Middle Palace; Six represents the dry hexagram, located in the northwest; Seven represents the hexagram, which is located in the west; Eight represents the Gen hexagram, located in the northeast; Nine represents the departure hexagram, located in the south.
”
He looked at the hole behind him, then pointed to the second tomb and said, "Southwest, go here!" ”
I nodded, and then quickly followed. Now in such a situation, I can only believe him, and for so long, nothing has happened after him. But after walking for nearly five minutes, the same fork in the road appeared in front of him, and it seemed that what Ren Ke said was not wrong, this was indeed a gossip maze.
Ren Ke used the previous method with a mantra I didn't understand to find a tomb passage, and after experiencing six more such tombs, another tomb appeared in front of our eyes.
Ren Ke looked at the entrance in front of him, and then said to me: "Be careful, the front should be the main tomb, and..."
"The mysterious man from before is there, too!"
