The sun was setting in the west, only a little bit of the sun was still rising above the clouds, and the whole ice had gradually turned black, and the huge shadows inside were blurred.

The shape of the shadow is very strange, nondescript, very weird, like some kind of frozen animal fetus, the head is terrible, and there are long thorns all over the body, and the heart is hairy when you look at it.

Ye Cheng opened his mouth wide and asked me, "Damn, I didn't worship the Bodhisattva when I came out, I always bumped into evil spirits, what the hell is this?" ”

The fat man and I shook our heads, we have never seen each other, look at the size, this thing is the size of a five-story building, frozen in the depths of the glacier, if it is a burial mausoleum, how can it be cultivated? Or is it a creature from ancient times?

Legend has it that the Changbai Mountain area was still an ocean hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it was uplifted from the sea by the eruption of the main volcano.

It's not right to think about it, when the ancient glacier was formed, the mountains were already there, and the corpses were already fossilized.

Although it has experienced a thrilling avalanche, but in fact, such an avalanche can only be called a snow landslide, and there is no thunderous momentum, and the speed of going is fast, although several people also have palpitations, but at this time they have recovered, and when they see the shadow in the ice, their curiosity is aroused.

We used icicles, made a foothold on the glacier, put on ropes, put on skates, and went down to the surface of the glacier to see the eerie black shadow of the glacier frozen, but a few people couldn't see the doorway.

At this time, Chen Pi Ah Si also regained consciousness, Monk Hua and Ye Cheng helped him to come down from above, and we carefully helped him to the front.

Chen Pi Ah Si was still unhappy, rubbed his eyes, squatted down, stared at the shadow in the ice cap for a long time, and suddenly hummed: "This shadow... Could it be a 'Kunlun tire'? Then he shook his head again.

"What is a 'Kunlun tire'?" None of us had heard of him, and it was inexplicable to see him so excited.

"The 'Kunlun fetus' is a strange natural phenomenon. It refers to the source of the dragon vein, which is the place where the aura of heaven and earth is gathered, as the saying goes. Often, in rocks, glaciers, and trees, some strange baby-like things will come out of their own, which are called 'terrestrial fetus' in these ancient books. Legend has it that after 10,000 years of evolution, some 'earthly births' will become jīng, such as the Monkey King in Journey to the West. "Monk Hua explained to us." I remember mentioning it in one of the notes of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, legend has it that under the giant ice cirque in Kunlun Mountain, the local Tibetans found a giant ice tire, as big as a mountain bucket, the facial features have been possessed, and it is still a baby girl, lifelike, so the "ground birth" is called "Kunlun fetus", and later a temple was built on the belly button of the baby girl, called Kunlun Tongzi Temple. In Feng Shui, the 'Kunlun Fetus' is a treasure point of heaven, which is different from the Feng Shui acupuncture points inferred by artificiality. It is impossible to find a place where the 'Kunlun fetus' may be generated in a dragon vein, only to wait until the 'Kunlun fetus' begins to form, accidentally discover, and then dig out the fetal shape, and then build the mausoleum in it. Such a treasure cave is hard to find. Legend has it that only those who have reached heaven are eligible. The only person buried in the 'Kunlun fetus' position recorded in history is only one person, and that is the Yellow Emperor. ”

"And such an evil thing?" The fat man crouched down and looked at the shadow. "However, this 'Kunlun tire' is not a human fetus."

Chen Pi Ah Si also didn't seem to be sure, nodded and said: "I also guess, the 'Kunlun fetus' is a god-determined fetal position, and the earth is a divine object, if this is the 'Kunlun fetus', then the burial mausoleum will inevitably be built in the 'Kunlun fetus' position, but in this case......" He looked at the Sansheng Snow Mountain in the distance, and his eyes showed extreme confusion.

I knew his concerns, and continued: "This is the natural treasure cave 'Kunlun fetal position'. But this is just a burial mausoleum, so in this way, the Sansheng Mountain, where the main mausoleum of Genting Heavenly Palace is located, how good is the feng shui to be finished? No matter what, it can't be worse than the 'Kunlun tire'. ”

"Yes, there is no better feng shui than the 'Kunlun Fetus', the 'Kunlun Fetus' is the place where the earth's aura gathers, if it is better than here, there is only one possibility." Chen Pi Ah Si was very puzzled and sighed, "Heavenly Palace, it is really built in the sky!" ”

Chen Pi Ah Si's expression when he said this was very real, I saw that it was not a joke, I said to him with chills. The fat man said, "How is it possible! ”

"It's impossible, so there is a 'Kunlun fetus' here, there is definitely a problem, could it be that the trend of the mountains and rivers has been changed for him, and Wang Zanghai has reached such a point?" Chen Pi Ah Si looked around at the surrounding mountains again.

"No, it shouldn't be that way." I suddenly had an idea and asked. "Could it be that the shadow of this fetal shape is fake? Artificially repaired? A technique that symbolizes xìng, which is common in the design of ancient tombs. Like the city shape of Wu Zetian, just like a woman's yīn household, maybe this shadow is just the shadow of the funeral mausoleum. ”

It's natural for me to think this way, because we work in antiques, and our normal job is to fight against fake things. When we were purchasing, the first impression of everything was fake, so when I heard Chen Pi Ah Si say so powerful, my first impression was: Will it be fake? This is also an occupational disease.

Moreover, freezing the entrance of the mausoleum in the soil and cultivating it into a baby-like shape is indeed in line with the xìng character of Wang Zang Maritime who does not stop being frightened to death.

Chen Pi'a Si was so focused on the surrounding mountains that he didn't listen to me at all. I turned my head to look at the stuffy oil, who also had a puzzled face, staring at the shadow with a complicated expression, and did not squeak. However, Monk Hua agreed with me very much (it seems that he should also be a front-line person in procurement, and he has the same occupational disease as me). He said: "It is possible that what you said, looking at the 'fetal shadow', there is also a light difference, obviously it is not a simple thing, it seems to be high and low, and there are thorns all around, I can't explain what it is, it may really be a building." ”

I had a wonderful feeling in my heart, Wang Zanghai built the mausoleum into the shape of a fetus, did he hope that this mausoleum would become a jīng like a 'Kunlun fetus'?

If this thing is true, it would be unbelievable.

The fat man said: "Don't guess, anyway, if you don't dig it out, no matter how you guess, it's all guessing, with this idle time, it's better to find a way to go down." ”

"Then if you dig down, you won't see a burial mausoleum, but a real giant ice-" Ye Cheng was a little scared. Knotted teeth: "What then?" ”

The fat man patted him: "Then you stay on it, we will go down to confirm, and then call you down." ”

I also said, "If it's really an ice tire, it's a miracle made in heaven, and it's worth seeing it." ”

Monk Hua patted Ye Cheng and said, "You are cowardly, learn to order these big brothers...... The question now is not whether to go or not, but how to go down? He visually measured the thickness of the ice. Said: "Dig with a pickaxe, and you may not be able to dig there in half a month." ”

We are not ice masters, and working on ice is completely different from ordinary ground. There are a lot of factors to consider, and I don't have any better skills in normal times.

The fat man stared at the huge shadow in the glacier beneath his feet, waved at us, and said, "What's so hard about this?" It's on my fat man. ”

I saw that he seemed to be a little eyebrows, and I was curious, the fat man has always been the vanguard of the team, and rarely expressed his opinions on technology, but as soon as he expressed his opinion, what he put forward was very crucial, indicating that this person's mind was actually quite delicate. I have felt this deeply at the bottom of the sea, and this is probably one of the qualities of him who is so greedy for money and can still turn danger into a disaster many times. But Yu Fatzi needs skills to speak, he belongs to the kind of person who does not eat soft and hard, and most of the time, it is much more useful to provoke him than to flatter him. So he said to him, "What can you do?" ”

He was really a little unhappy and said to me, "What words, you college students are allowed to have ideas?" I have been to Kunlun Mountain, there is a lot of ice on Kunlun Mountain, there are more glaciers than this, and the experience is much richer than yours. ”

I laughed and said, "Then you can tell it." ”

The fat man hummed and told us what his guide had told him. Lots of stories about ice. The altitude of Kunlun Mountain is much higher than here, it is a real alpine glacier, where large ice crevasses will frequently crack due to temperature and mountain movements, and sometimes strange remains of ancestors will be found in the cracks, and some people have even found houses frozen in the depths of the glacier, but these things are collapsed, just wreckage.

He asked why these ancient ruins could not be preserved in such a cold environment, and the guide told him that it is impossible to freeze a building in ice completely, especially a wooden house, which will definitely collapse first when it encounters an ice avalanche or avalanche.

Now the buildings in the glacier under our feet must be built on the cliffs, and the black shadows in them look so complete, and the silhouette is very baby-like, which means that there is no sign of collapse below, otherwise the overhead buildings will not be at all like this. Therefore, unless the burial tomb in the glacier is not a burial tomb but a stone, otherwise, the burial tomb frozen in the ice is definitely not an avalanche, but a man-made cause.

The fat man's reason was very good, and I nodded in agreement, but the others did not hear the significance of the fat man's hypothesis, and Panzi asked him, "So what?" ”

The fat man waved his hand and said: "If it wasn't an avalanche, then the mausoleum was built more than nine hundred years ago, according to the reason, the snow accumulated in nine hundred years of ice pressure ice is absolutely impossible to be so thick, so these ice must be man-made, we must have a very thick artificial ice wall under our feet, and this ice wall cannot be directly pressed on the building, then there must be an arc, forming a natural ice dome, pressing on the slope, protecting the building below." Similar to the mound made of ice, the ice is not as thick as we think, you see, the ice here is very transparent, which is also a proof. ”

As soon as the fat man said this, everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at him with admiration, and at the same time, they suddenly felt a lot more unstable under their feet.

The fat man was still worried about the fact that I had just looked down on him, and knowing that I was studying architecture, so he asked me that what he said might not be possible.

I nodded, and said that the explanation was theoretical, and that it was feasible. The use of ice to frame houses has been around for a long time. During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cāo was built with ice and straw, and the Eskimos have long used ice to build their houses, and recently there seem to be modern ice buildings in Denmark, which shows that the hardness of ice is absolutely no problem in architecture.

However, Cao Cāo One Night City is on the plains, and it is really possible to build such a magnificent ice dome on the cliffs. I have some reservations, after all, it was around 1,000 years ago, and even if Wang Zanghai could surpass their time by a lot, it shouldn't have been bullish to this extent.

When the fat man heard that I agreed with him, he immediately became proud, shook his hair, and said, "Look, the fat man, I am called a talent." ”

Ye Cheng asked me, "Young Master of the Wu family, can you calculate the possible thickness of this ice dome based on architecture?" ”

Most of what I learned in college was returned to my teachers. But I still know the weight of ice per unit volume. Silently calculated in his heart, he applied a few formulas and came up with a number, and said to him: "If we use a wooden support structure as the fat man said, then the thickness of the ice under our feet will not exceed ten meters, otherwise the weight is too heavy, and it will collapse on its own, and it will not be able to hold up with anything." ”

"Ten meters." Several people looked at each other, and Pan Zi said: "**, that's enough to choke." The ice here is different from other places, it's much harder, and we don't have professional equipment. Just now, Lang Feng and I used a shovel to hit the ice picks hard, knocked a few times, and our hands were numb, and only a few white marks were knocked out, and it may take a little time to penetrate ten meters, and a week may not be enough. ”

Gravity ice is different from other riverbed ice, which is made from river water, which contains impurities and a lot of bubbles. The temperature of the riverbed is not too low, but the gravity ice is pressed layer by layer of thousand-year-old snow, not only there are few impurities, but the ice temperature under the snow layer may be more than minus 50 degrees, at this temperature and purity, the hardness and density of the ice is very terrible.

The fat man said, "Don't we have explosives?" Let's just climb up to the rocks and put a cannon hole. ”

Monk Hua and I immediately shook our heads, thinking that I almost died in the snow just now, and said to him angrily: "You really don't remember xìng for a long time, you haven't tasted enough just now?" Moreover, if the glacier is hollow, no matter how small a powerful explosion is, it may blow up the entire ice dome - if your assumption is correct, the method of making a hole with too much destructive power cannot be considered, and digging into a critical place may not even be able to use an ice shovel, and if it is not done well, it will be a chain reaction. ”

The fat man was very disgusted with theoretical science, and said: "You are fundamentalistic, and you can't use the ice shovel, so what should I do?" Do you use a spoon to dig up? Don't pretend that you are a college student, make alarmist statements here, and artificially create problems for us. ”

I said I'm more anxious than you, but the facts are the facts, and if you don't believe it, you can test it.

After figuring out a problem and another problem came up, all of a sudden the atmosphere became dull again, and everyone stopped talking and began to think of solutions. Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly came to us with a smokeless stove for cooking tea with a straight oil, and put it on the side, and the hot stove immediately reacted with the cold ice surface, making a snapping sound, and asked me, "Is this okay?" ”

When I looked at it, I said in my heart, yes, his mother is freezing the donkey, I didn't expect this method, can't I just use fire.

The hardness of ice is directly related to temperature, as the temperature rises, the hardness decreases, the surface of the ice wall begins to become brittle, and the chain reaction caused by the impact of the ice shovel will be weakened. We can take it step by step, first bake the ice on the surface to soften, then knock off the whole piece to reveal the tight ice core that is frozen inside, and then continue to roast in a smokeless oven, repeating until it is smashed through.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and we will do the test immediately. Take out your own smokeless stove, light it and put it on the ice, and after a minute use a shovel to cut the ice. Sure enough, the book is right, the brittle, high-temperature ice will crack the whole piece.

However, because the temperature around us was too low, the progress of this was very slow, and we took turns to try, until it was nearly three hours, when it was almost completely dark, the wall made a depression half a meter wide and seven or eight meters deep, and the face of the ice below changed significantly, and the purity of the ice was also much clearer.

The fat man tied a rope around his waist and supported his feet on both sides of the ice well, and finally roasted the ice at the bottom of the well with a smokeless oven, and then smashed it with a short-handled hammer, wanting to smash another piece, but unexpectedly, the ice dome cracked a crack, and suddenly we felt the air outside rushing to the hole, blowing a gust of wind, and the temperature suddenly became much cooler.

The fat man smashed it again, smashing the ice underneath, and the broken ice fell down, and sure enough, a hole appeared, and the bottom was empty!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even the fat man himself was surprised and exclaimed, "I really guessed correctly." ”

We pulled him up, and everyone gathered around the hole, scrambling to grab a flashlight and shine it inside.

Inside the ice well, there is a huge gray space, the whole ice dome is like a transparent bowl buckled on a cliff, countless wooden beams hung with ice ridges are erected from the cliff rocks, staggered together, forming a structure similar to scaffolding, supporting the outside of the 'ice bowl', these are the thorns on the body of the fetus, under the cliff is the bottomless, pitch black abyss.

And on the mountainside of the cliff under the drop of about 100 meters, we saw the real body of the black sè fetal shadow, which was a huge fetal-shaped cave, and I don't know whether it was artificially built or naturally formed, the entrance of the cave was as big as a standard swimming pool, at first glance, it looked like a huge baby of the black sè.

We were stunned, several of us could barely speak, and the fat man, with poisonous eyes, grabbed my flashlight and moved it in one direction. "Look here!"

Under his guidance, we squinted our eyes and looked carefully, only to see that in the cave, there was a huge palace with eaves and beams, and some of the buildings poked out of the cave and were supported on the cliff with wooden porches, like hanging pavilions in the air, and most of the buildings were built in the cave, and the whole picture could not be seen.

Because of the perennial low temperature, ice chips are condensed everywhere, and the part of the building that exposes the entrance of the cave looks gray and miserable, and it is not obvious, so it is not easy to find it at a rough look.

This is the spiritual palace that accompanies the burial mausoleum, that is, the dragon tower treasure hall often mentioned in the mouth of the captain of the touching gold, the part of the 'mausoleum' in the mausoleum, and the tomb of the owner of the tomb should be under the bottom of the spiritual palace, within the mountain.

I couldn't help but sigh, I thought that there was only one hidden entrance to the underground palace at most, but I didn't expect that the pomp and circumstance of the King of Wannu was so big, and such a huge spiritual palace was set up in the funeral mausoleum. So what kind of spectacular scene would it be if Genting Heavenly Palace was not covered with heavy snow? It is really impossible to imagine that the wisdom of the ancients could not help but make people feel intimidated.

The fat man reacted first and laughed, then everyone else laughed, everyone high-fived each other, and I hit the fat man's ass and almost slipped off the ice.

Monk Hua hurriedly stopped us, he pointed to the snow cliff above his head, meaning be careful to collapse again, we are all on the ice cliff, and none of us can escape.

Only then did we hold back the excitement in our hearts and quiet down, but the faces of several people were full of unbearable ecstasy.

Now think about it, tomb robbers, even if they are big tomb robbers, how many people can steal and dig up the imperial tomb of this grade, if they can enter the imperial tomb once and be born in peace, they will no longer care about what treasures are inside, just this wrist you are big, not to mention how many years you can brag about, your mentality must be different, this kind of attraction, no one can resist. Even I, who hadn't yet identified myself as a tomb robber, had an extreme urge in my heart, and I couldn't wait to go down and take a look.

Monk Hua patted his face, trying to relax himself, and then turned his head and asked Chen Pi Ah Si, are we going down now or tomorrow.

Chen Pia Si yīnyīn glanced at us and asked, "If you go down tomorrow, can you bear it?" ”
