Chapter Twenty-Nine: Eight Gates and Eight Images
"Kobold. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yang Gang on the ground saw the jade statue in front of me and said.
"As you can see." I should say to Yang Gang.
Yang Gang pondered for a moment and then asked me, "You said there are eight doorways and eight stone statues?" ”
"Well, that's right, eight doorways and eight stone statues, evenly spaced on the circular jade wall." I have already told Yang Gang about this before, and he probably didn't believe it before.
"What's inside, let's go in and take a look!" The bearded man glanced at the jade statue in front of him, the light shone all over the stone statue, there was no gap, it was like it grew on the ground, and the ground was one, and this stone statue was as tall as us when it was sitting, even if it was valuable, it could not be taken away, and it was impossible to use large machinery to rob the tomb, so he was helpless, so he put the target into a large space in the dark.
"Don't be impulsive, the situation is unknown, it's best not to take risks, if you're not careful, you will fall into the trap set in the tomb." The pangolins stopped it immediately, not wanting the tragedy to happen again.
"The structure of this tomb is quite simple, we will walk through this circular corridor, see the stone statues, and then make the next plan." I propose.
"That's right, for now, these stone statues are definitely not just stone statues, maybe there are other functions, take your time, tomb robbery is a delicate job, you can't rush." On the ground, Yang Gang also reminded us in time.
"Okay, that's it, things here can't run anyway." Shangguan Yaxiong shone his flashlight ahead and motioned for us to probe forward.
A consensus is reached, and everyone moves forward.
All the way forward, I walked through the door frames without doors, and the jade statues in the door frames.
When I walked in front of each jade statue, I would stop for a moment to carefully observe the appearance of the jade statue, so that Yang Gang on the ground could see it clearly.
After passing the road and returning to the starting point, I asked Yang Gang on the ground: "Have you seen it all?" Eight. ”
"See." Yang Gang replied, and then there was silence in the headphones, and Yang Gang seemed to be meditating.
Pangolins were also meditating beside me.
"Eight statues, what do you mean?" Shangguan Yaxiong asked after seeing us lost in thought.
Lao K didn't care about the eight stone statues, because the stone statues couldn't be moved at all, and he was concerned about the dark space behind the stone statues, which was a tomb, and no dead people had been seen so far, not even the coffin, and these and Ming artifacts were naturally in the unknown dark space.
"It's certainly not your average eight stone statues, what does that mean?" The pangolin thought of it, "Could it be gossip?" ”
"That's right, it's gossip, each hexagram represents an animal, and the eight animals can just correspond to one of the eight trigrams." Yang Gang on the ground told us through the microphone.
So I counted the eight animals: "cows, dogs, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, birds, and dragons." ”
Yang Gang on the ground then reported the animals in the gossip: "They correspond to cows, dogs, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, pheasants and dragons, and not only that, but even the order is the same." ”
"That's true, and it's obvious in comparison." Pangolin echoed Yang Gang said.
Listening to our gossip, the bearded man became very impatient: "What does gossip represent, go inside and find out the result." ”
"Qin Qi, be careful!" Yang Gang did not stop us, but told us to be careful.
The pangolin didn't know what this gossip represented and the purpose here, but he knew that the tomb would not have eight animals to guard the door for no reason, perhaps to prevent the tomb from being stolen.
"Qin Qi, you've been in, where did you get in?" Pangolins for insurance, ask me.
I shone my flashlight in the direction of the kobold and said, "If you enter through the door guarded by the kobold, the kobold's body is a little more careful and easier to enter." ”
"Alright then, let's get through the dog's head jamb." The pangolin swept the sides with a flashlight, and finally pointed to the position of the dog's head.
At this time, Yang Gang on the ground spoke again: "The gossip is arranged according to the direction, Mo Dao is arranged in the north direction, and the door frame of the dog head is in the northwest direction. ”
"This has been discovered a long time ago, and there is no need to say it anymore, wait for our news!" The pangolins are already moving forward, and we are walking slowly forward with them.
In the circle, everyone's attention was attracted by the door frame and the stone statue in the door frame, and there was no time to pay attention to other places, and at this time, the attraction of the stone statue faded, and the curiosity was diverted.
The dark space surrounded by the eight beast heads is very large, how big it is, no one can judge just by walking this circle, and it is dark everywhere, but the distance between the stone statues is indeed very far.
In this environment, the five-person team formed a tacit understanding that it should have, and moved forward almost back to back.
I don't have the same curiosity about the beast head as before, but the mirrored jade wall on the other side has attracted my attention, and I only took a general look at it before, but now it is necessary to look more carefully.
If this is a tomb, there is no doubt that this structure is rare, and it is very simple, a circular burial chamber.
The light of the flashlight shines on the mirrored jade wall, reflecting a faint light, and it is hard to imagine how this tomb was built, and why it took time and effort to polish the wall to be as bright as a mirror.
Fingers caressed on the jade wall, and a cool breath was immediately transmitted, not the luster that jade should have.
If you can't see the seams on the wall with the naked eye in this situation where there is only flashlight, you can feel it when you touch it with your fingers, unless the gap is too small to see and the stitching is almost seamless.
However, until we walked in front of the dog head, my fingers kept touching the jade wall, but I never felt any gaps in the wall, just like the wall of modern industrial decoration, seamless splicing.
Not only is the wall seamless, but even the wall and the ground, the wall and the top side, their corners are also one, which can be identified by the color of the Lantian jade, not spliced, but from a huge piece of jade dug out of the space.
Let's assume that this is a mountain, a mountain carved out of the tomb, a mountain that can be placed on a bookshelf, and we are a scene in the mountain.
"The koe-headed stone statue has arrived, is that where it entered?" The pangolin's flashlight shines on the dog's head and asks me.
I shone a flashlight behind the dog's head and nodded, "Well, that's how I got in from here, a few times." ”
"Alright, let's go in from here, everyone, be careful." After the pangolin reminded, he had already bent down, ready to drill into the dark space behind the dog head through the gap of the dog head.
Standing in the back, we were leaning against the jade wall, lighting the way for the pangolin's palm lamp. (To be continued.) )
