This kind of flip mechanism has been encountered several times before, but this one is the most surprising, because the copy mechanism encountered before is usually set up at the front of the corridor in order to block the way of tomb robbers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Like this time, it was unexpectedly placed in the middle of the corridor, which is simply unguardable.

Qiangzi's death was just a small episode in the third uncle's tomb robbing career, and he didn't pay much attention to it, he was more concerned about the number and scope of the flap mechanism now, so that they could find a way to crack it.

Led everyone to the flap mechanism, and the third uncle asked people to use a steel pipe to push against the flap to break its balance. Immediately, the stone flap stood on its side under the force, and below it was a huge crater three meters wide and long.

The pit is five meters deep, and it is covered with at least a hundred cones of metal, with a length of more than ten centimeters, and the hadron is like a tofu skewer, hanging on those metal spikes, and those who are already dead can no longer die.

Looking at the metal shaft on the flap, the third uncle said to the board: "There is only a little rust on this shaft and the cone below, it can't be something left over from the Warring States Period." Liu Bowen said in his own statement that this Warring States Tomb had been altered by him, and this serial flap mechanism should be his handiwork. ”

Ban Cuntou nodded and said: "It must be the case, and only a geek like Liu Bowen will put the organ in this position in the Yongdao, which is impossible to guard against." ”

The third uncle pondered for a while, and said to the board inch: "It is not difficult to break this mechanism, we only need to find a large number of long wooden planks to spread on these flap mechanisms, and we can pass unharmed." ”

Ban Cuntou smiled: "It's not easy to get wooden planks, there are trees in the forest outside, and they are all ready-made materials." ”

The third uncle looked at his watch and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to make a plank today." It's better to go back first, get the planks ready, and come back tomorrow to break this mechanism. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Bancuntou ordered people to cut down eligible trees near the camp, and a total of eight were cut down.

Because the tools are limited and I don't want to delay too much time, I only cut the front and back of the tree into a plane, which can be placed firmly on the ground, which is easy for people to step on, that is, the meaning of the plank.

The eight planks are about 30 centimeters wide, four meters in length, and 20 centimeters thick, because there is a lot of moisture in the wood, so the weight of these planks is more than 100 catties, and two people feel a little difficult to carry.

Early the next morning, the third uncle ordered eight heavy wooden planks to be lifted to the flap mechanism.

The flap mechanism is only three meters long, and the four-meter-long plank can be erected on the partition wall at both ends of the mechanism, so that the heavy plank is equivalent to a single-plank bridge, which can be stepped on.

There were a total of six flap mechanisms in the corridor, and all of them were broken by the third uncle in the same way, so it didn't take long for them to enter the stone chamber they had seen earlier.

The stone chamber is circular, at least ten meters in diameter and six meters in height, and is made of huge stones, just like the previous corridors, and on the stone walls, there are seven doorways, but there are no doors.

The seven doorways are the same size, they are all one meter wide and two meters high, and they look very deep inside, and there are bends in the corner, and I don't know where they lead in the end.

Looking at the seven door openings in front of him, Ban Cuntou was a little confused, so he asked curiously to the third uncle on the side: "Third brother, what are you doing with seven door openings, is it a maze game, let us choose one of the seven, and if we choose the wrong one, we will enter and exit?" ”

The third uncle sneered and said, "Plus the door hole when we came, it's exactly eight door holes." From the perspective of layout, these eight door openings are set up according to the location of the eight directions, which should be the eight gates of heaven and earth mentioned on Qimen Dunjia. ”

"The Eight Gates of Heaven and Earth?" Ban Cuntou was a little puzzled, so he asked again: "What's the mess, isn't it just deliberately making eight doorways for people to break into, is there anything else to say here?" ”

The third uncle nodded and said: "The Eight Gates of Heaven and Earth are not only set up according to the location of the eight directions, but also correspond to the eight hexagrams, that is, the eight hexagrams used to determine the direction in the eight trigrams. The eight gates of heaven and earth are actually the evolution of Qimen Dunjia and according to the direction of the eight trigrams, and each direction corresponding to the eight gates has a different meaning, among which there are those who represent auspiciousness and those who represent evil. ”

The eight gates referred to on Qimen Dunjia are: Hugh Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Du Gate, Jing Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Open the Door. Among them, the door open, the door of rest, and the door of life are the three auspicious gates, the door of Du and the door of Jing are the flat doors, and the doors of death, shock, and injury are the doors of the murderer.

The hexagrams and directions represented by each gate are as follows: Qiangua - Open the door - Northwest. Kan hexagram - Xiumen - due north. Gen hexagram - Shengmen - Northeast. Earthquake hexagram - wounded door - due east. Xun hexagram - Dumen - southeast. Leaving the hexagram - Jingmen - due south. Kun hexagram - the door of death - southwest. Hexagram - surprise door - due west.

Chinese Feng Shui, as well as tomb science, are inseparable from Zhou Yi and Bagua, but it is said that the mystery of Qimen Dunjia is even higher than Zhou Yi. The masters of metaphysics of all dynasties and generations have analyzed and believed that Zhou Yihe Bagua is only the general outline of metaphysics, and it is a deduction method based on the sixty-four hexagrams and the five behaviors of yin and yang.

However, Qimen Dunjia is based on the I Ching Bagua, and then combined with the astrological calendar, astronomy and geography, eight doors and nine stars, yin and yang five elements, three odds and six instruments and other elements to arrange a book. There are not a few people in the world who are good at Zhou Yi, but there are only a handful of people who know little about Qimen Dunjia, and these people are undoubtedly not a generation of strange people.

Because the third uncle often robs tombs, he also has a certain understanding of these things, but he is a little ignorant. Hearing that the third uncle said a lot of things he didn't understand, he said a little impatiently: "Third brother, don't talk about it, just tell us honestly, which one of the eight gates are we going to go through now?" ”

The third uncle thought for a while and said: "It stands to reason that as long as we enter any of the Sanji Gates, there will be no danger, but for the sake of insurance, we will only go through the Shengmen." ”

Ban Cuntou pointed to the seven door openings in front of him and asked, "So which door hole is the so-called Shengmen?" ”

The third uncle ordered someone to bring a feng shui compass and said, "Don't worry, you'll know when I measure the direction, it won't be long." ”

Picked up the feng shui compass and circled around the stone room a few times, and according to the arrow instructions on the compass, the third uncle quickly measured the direction of the eight gates, so as to find the location of the birth gate.

The third uncle pointed to the doorway when he came and said: "This doorway is the door in the Sanji Gate, according to the order of this door, the third doorway should be the birth door." ”

Ban Cuntou said with some disbelief: "Third brother, to be honest, you are only a half-person in Feng Shui, even you can find the existence of Shengmen so quickly, so is this eight-door formation too simple?" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. After hearing Ban Cuntou's words, the third uncle's heart suddenly moved, he thought for a while, and couldn't help but say, "That's right." Liu Bowen said in his own statement that the formation he laid out was extremely dangerous, and he was not a person who knew Qimen Dunjia very well, and he basically had no return. In this case, how could he arrange such a simple eight-door array, this is a bit unreasonable. ”

Ban Cuntou saw that the third uncle's face became heavy, so he smiled and said, "I just said it in passing, third brother, don't think too much." Now that we've figured out the location of the birth gate, no matter what, we still have to try, right? ”

The third uncle hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "That's right, since Liu Bowen designed eight door openings for people to break into, then one thing is certain, there must be a living door that goes straight to the depths of the ancient tomb, and we don't seem to have any other way than to break in." ”

Although according to the instructions on the compass, the existence of Shengmen was found, but whether this Shengmen was true or false, the third uncle and others did not know the bottom in their hearts, for the sake of safety, the third uncle let the two subordinates go in to find out.

Those two subordinates had robbed the tomb with the third uncle a few times, and they could be regarded as experienced, but in the face of that dark door, they still had fear in their hearts. But no matter how scared and worried they were, they still had to go in, and after checking the equipment on their bodies and making sure that they had all brought them, they stepped into the door one after the other.

The third uncle and the others stood guard at the entrance of the Shengmen, and shone a flashlight on the two people, and at the same time looked deeper into the Yongdao, and found that it was a very ordinary Yongdao, but there was a faint smell of rotting corpses inside, giving people a very dangerous signal.

After the two men entered the Shengmen more than 30 meters away, suddenly, there was a "click!" at the entrance of the Shengmen. Click! The sound came. Without waiting for everyone to react, a boulder door panel fell from the top of the corridor without warning, blocking the entrance to the living gate at once.

Everyone was really afraid that something would happen next, so they took a few steps back and looked at the blocked door from a distance, their faces full of vigilance.

At this time, two exclamations came from behind the stone gate, and everyone was trying to hear it clearly, but they didn't know what had changed behind the stone gate, and the exclamations suddenly stopped, as if the people inside had been choked by the neck, and they couldn't make any sound.

Ban Cuntou's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said to the third uncle in a skeptical tone: "Third brother, what's going on, could it be that you miscalculated the direction, this door is not a birth gate at all?" ”

The third uncle was also taken aback, but no matter how strange things were, he had seen them, so he quickly calmed down, and he said firmly: "If the compass is not broken, then the direction must be right, and this doorway must be the birth gate, there is no need to doubt it at all." ”

Ban Cuntou still couldn't believe it, he patted the heavy stone door and said, "But what if this stone gate blocks the entrance?" What's going on with the screams inside? (To be continued.) )
