Chapter 65: The Seven Nights of the South

What do these spiders represent in the minds of Xiaowan people? They value these spiders so much that they not only know how to summon and drive, but also use living people to sacrifice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info How these spiders survived thousands of years in a glass cage is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of energy.

As he walked, Gu Tong explained, and when he came to the last painting, Gu Tong stopped, where nine eggs of different colors were painted, and directly opposite it was a fierce and vicious bird, which looked like a phoenix.

Emma said to Gu Tong, "Do you think this is the legendary Phoenix Nine Chicks?" ”

"It's very likely, it's not wrong in terms of color and quantity, but it's just an ancient myth, so what can it represent here?" ”

I remember that there was a story about the phoenix in the ancient seal, what "King Wen dreamed of the sun and the moon on his body, and there were eagles singing in Qishan" The eagles in this are the phoenixes. In my mind, I have always thought that this is a beautiful myth made up by ancient people in order to beautify the ruling class, but now looking at the murals before and after, could it be that I am wrong? I can't help but be a little skeptical.

Li Guohua said: "After all, it is a myth and legend, maybe Xiao Wanguo admires the phoenix, believes that the phoenix is the source of all power, and he is also the people of the phoenix." ”

Emma said: "This is a possibility, in ancient times, various tribes and ethnic groups had their own totems to worship, some would worship animals such as wolves and bears in reality, and some were not, for example, many totems in the Central Plains were imagined." ”

The fat man smiled: "If you want to say that, the people of this Xiaowan country regard themselves as the people of the phoenix, so aren't they all birdmen?" ”

Emma turned a deaf ear to the fat man's gibberish and added, "If that's the case, then it would explain why the whole ancient city is covered with glass, which, when illuminated by the sun, has the effect of reflecting light, giving people an auspicious omen." It coincides with the meaning of the phoenix. ”

Gu Tong nodded: "This is not a bad explanation, there is also a possibility, the phoenix may have appeared in this ancient city in some form, leaving a deep imprint in the hearts of the people, the ruling class in order to better rule the people, so they used a certain means to achieve the effect of the original phoenix, so they will not hesitate to spend huge manpower and material resources to build this ancient city, and the real secret of the phoenix may be under this ancient city, as long as we have enough time, we can understand the secret of this ancient city." ”

The fat man listened to Gu Tong's words, nodded convincingly, and praised: "It's still an expert in our socialist country, Niu can see so many Taos with just one painting, and he is still the Tao, it is estimated that the poison-eyed dragon does not have your eloquence." ”

Gu Tong, a nerd, listened to the fat man praising him, lowered his head embarrassedly, and said modestly: "I'm also a guess, I can't count, whether that's the case or not, it depends on what we will encounter next." ”

I don't know why, I've experienced so many mysterious things here, and I always think of the tomb of King Dian I met in Yunnan, since I got this sword, it is a people who worship Chiyou. Now it is a people who worship the phoenix, and the common denominator between the two, the phoenix and the chiyou, are both people and objects in ancient mythology. What happened in the primeval jungle of Yunnan is still vivid, and the danger in this place is no less than that of that time.

To be honest, a non-existent bird is none of our birds, and if it weren't for the lack of water, I would have wanted to pull them back. In any way, our trip to the desert has achieved very good results.

If Li Guohua has to find something, he can re-address people in the future and come back when he is ready.

I said to Li Guohua: "Boss Li, this, let me say, it is not easy for us to come to this point, and after we find the water source, you will make a mark on the G and what S, and then organize people in the future, and if you are ready, it is easy to find this." We also have some casualties in our personnel now, and we may not be able to have any good results any further down. ”

Li Guohua stared at the black hole in front of him, shook his head, and said nothing. For generations of the Li family, they have been looking for the ghost thing I don't know what it is, and now they are getting closer and closer, if he wants to give up like this, no matter what, he can't do it. Emma's attitude has always been a mystery in my heart, this Nizi even coaxed and deceived the old port farmer to contribute money, and she herself risked such a risk to follow into the desert, for her as a girl, if it was purely for academic research, I really don't believe it.

Alone and helpless, I had to take them on, thinking that good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, I have said all the good words, you have to go on, in case something really happens, I have a clear conscience.

The road is not long, and there is no way to the end, and a wall blocks the way, so you can't see any portal.

The fat man held a shovel in his hand and shoveled it on the ground and on the wall: "Hey.. There is no previous spirit pattern, and there is no pattern, what are you going to do this time? ”

I said, "The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and it is certainly not as simple as painting these paintings to build such a mausoleum at such a large cost." ”

The fat man said, "Didn't you say that Feng Shui should have a reference? This bare thing, where to find the reference, in my opinion, it really can't be done, explode it, save time and effort, and convenient. ”

I said, "It's okay to blow it up, let's all go out, you blow it up here alone, and I can't see if I'm going to bury you alive." ”

The blank wall, without the watch, nothing, maybe just we don't see it. Taoism says: "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." "Everything comes from nothing.

There is a method of creating something out of nothing, which can be applied to the secret passage of the organ, and its key is to master the "life" word decision in the "life" in the "Qimen Ancient Seal", which is intended to break the existing balance pattern, generate new changes, and generate laws from chaos and disorder.

It is contrary to the Taoist Taoist law of nature, and the rule of inaction. I took the sapper shovel, according to the direction of the yin and yang gossip, found the right point, and tapped on the stone wall, the stone wall in front of me clicked a few times, and the dust on the wall floated everywhere, fortunately, there was a gas mask to block it.

When the dust settled, a relief painting appeared on the wall. A firebird was carved into the wall, surrounded by dots of the same size, connected by very thin lines, divided into seven small pieces.

Everyone looked at the relief that appeared and asked puzzledly what it was?

I said, "This is one of the four spirit beasts, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and these connected points represent the Seven Southern Wells, Ghosts, Willows, Stars, Zhang, Wings, and Zhen. Untie this thing and you should be able to open the door to the back. ”

Gu Tong asked: "Mr. Zou, these four spirit beasts, I also know about the Seven Residences in the South, how do you know that there will be something behind this?" ”

I smiled and shook my head and didn't speak. How do I explain this, tell him the truth, he will think that I am blind, and it is not good to tell lies, so he will simply keep silent. Silently trying to figure out how to unravel the thing on the wall.

The south belongs to fire, and the Vermilion Bird is also called the Vermilion Bird, which is also a fire, is it possible for us to burn it with fire? The more I look at these dots representing the stars, the more I feel that something is wrong, and in each of the seven nights, there will be a dot that is about to be closed, which is said to be closed, but in fact there is something inside.

I found a stick, folded it into seven sections, and divided it among them, except for the weak Li Mei, the rest of the people, each with one hand, inserted it into each hole, I counted one, two, three, and at the same time forced, inserted it.

After waiting for two seconds, the stone wall opened, and the fat man didn't say a word, but rushed in with a rifle, and the rest of the mermaids rushed in.

Everyone walked into the stone gate, the flashlight shines around, the light seems to be magnified several times, although it is a building under the seat, the surrounding grand space, the carved beams and painted pillars have long been peeled off, but the surrounding glass walls are enough to realize the gorgeous and vast of the year, there is indeed an underground palace here.

The position we are in now seems to be the main hall, and the exit of the brick wall that comes out, behind these glass walls, if the door is closed, there is nothing unusual at all, and this secret door is cleverly installed.

Finally came to the place of his dreams, Li Guohua was more excited than anyone else, and took out all the equipment that could be used for lighting from his bag. The dungeon is extraordinarily bright, not because of the lighting, but because of the reflection of the glass.

There was a chain on the ceiling that held the lamp, but it had long since decayed and broken, and the lamp had broken to the ground, and there were a few gerbils crawling in the corner, and it seemed that the air here was circulating. In addition to these glass products and jade, there are also some decaying bronze, wood, iron and other objects.

For us, this situation is a mixed blessing, the good news is that the air circulation, and the animals survive in the underground palace, indicating that the water source is not far away.

Worrying about nature is the antiquities in the underground palace, the damage is serious, the wood and iron tools scattered everywhere on the ground seem to be able to remain the same, just afraid that they will be broken into powder when touched, the history of casting steel in the Western Regions is much longer than that of the Central Plains, but even if it is the current stainless steel technology, it is impossible to preserve it for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, no one cared about it here, and animals such as gerbils would grind their teeth when they encountered hard objects in the dungeon, and even some tooth marks could be faintly seen on some iron tools.

In the middle of the main hall against the wall, there is a glass platform, on which a colorful phoenix is placed, just as described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, five colors" are exactly the same, lifelike.
