In the era in which Zhang Hua lived, there was a man who lived on the seashore and often went to the beach, and he found that every August, there were floats floating on the sea, and every year, he never lost his time. This man thought, since the legend says that the sea and the heavenly river are connected, then I will sit on this raft and go with the flow, and after a while, maybe I will be able to go to the sky.

He was thrilled by this thought, and besides, this man was not a reckless man. He was bold and careful, and after making up his mind, he made ample logistical preparations. In August of that year, when the raft came down the river again, he moved his pavilion to the float, and he carried with him plenty of dry food and water to avoid hunger and thirst during the long journey.

It is difficult to predict whether he can come back or not, and when he returns. However, once he made up his mind, the man embarked on the journey without hesitation.

The sea slowly turned from blue to light green, and it became farther and farther away from the land, and the scenery on the shore kept retreating and retreating, until finally it became an indifferent shadow, and finally, even this shadow disappeared.

In the first ten days, you can still see the sun, moon and stars, and you can distinguish between day and night, but later, the surroundings are chaotic, and you can't tell whether it is dark or day. He didn't know where he had gone, but by his body's instincts, he drank water when he was thirsty, ate when he was hungry, and when he was sleepy, he hid in the pavilion and slept. In this way, after another ten days, I finally came to a place.

The place looks like a city, with rows of houses and very neatly planned. There is a magnificent palace in the city, and from a distance, there are many weavers who are busy around the loom, and the silk woven out of it is like floating clouds, and the beauty is incomparable.

The man was standing on top of the float, hesitating whether he wanted to jump from it to the shore. Suddenly, a man came to the river, with a cow in his hand, and went to the river to drink. He was about to speak when the man, sensing that someone was watching him, raised his head, and asked in amazement:

"How did you get here?"

The man briefly recounted how he had come here on a pontoon, and asked the Morning Glory what this place was. The morning glory didn't answer directly, but just said that after you go back, Yan Junping, who visited Shu County, will know.

This person felt that this place was very strange, and he did not dare to go ashore, and set foot on the way back on the floating chariot. After a few days on the surface, we returned to the place where we started. This day happened to be August of the following year.

In order to solve this mystery, he went through hardships and dangers, came to Shudi, and came to Yan Junping for advice. Shuzhong Yan's Ming Xi celestial phenomena, known for yin and yang divination, after this person saw Yan Junping, he told Yan Junping about his previous experience. After listening to this, Yan did not speak, and asked Xiao Tong to take a booklet, he opened the booklet, and read: "On a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, a guest star committed a morning glory. "Count the time, it was the day this man met Morning Glory by the river.

So far, the truth is finally coming out. It turned out that on that day, at the end of the water, he saw the Heavenly Palace, and the weaver women in the palace were the weaver girls, and the silk and satin they spun were used to dye the clouds in the sky. And the morning glory at the water's edge is the morning glory on the shore of the Milky Way.

Obviously, he really followed the sea, entered the Milky Way, and, finally, reached the Heavenly Court. And he himself, from the ground, turned into a guest star.

The so-called guest star is a general term for the new stars in the sky in ancient China. In astronomical terms, it mainly refers to novae, supernovae, and comets, and occasionally meteors and other astronomical phenomena. This kind of celestial body is like a guest, often rushing to and fro, so it is called a guest star.

This story is the earliest record of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in ancient China. The story seems absurd, but in fact it reveals a very important message: the person in this story, unlike the protagonist in the common myths of flying in ancient times, did not achieve the goal of ascension through intensive cultivation or with the help of some kind of elixir obtained by chance. Instead, through his own observation, he mastered the laws of the floating chariot, and after full preparation, he sat on the floating chariot and began his journey to the heavenly court. The sky he knew was dark, and there was no distinction between day and night. The cycle is exactly one year. “

I wanted to say it as I could, and my thoughts became clear: "As we all know, mankind's first manned spacecraft was launched by the Soviet Union on April 12, 1961. Before that, how could human beings know that the scenery in space was different from that on Earth? During the day, as long as there are no clouds, it is blue above our heads. At night, the sky becomes dark and dark. This is mainly due to the fact that there is air on the earth as a medium for reflecting light, and the sky we see is blue, which is mainly caused by the reflection of blue light. There is no such medium in the universe, so when we enter outer space, the sky we see is a dark color.

However, when the book was written around the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, how did its author, Zhang Hua, point out so close to the facts that space is dark and obscure? Let's not talk about this for the time being, will someone use this legend to create this miracle? ”

Long Sihai and Du Juan said in unison: "Is this possible?" ”

I said, "Theoretically, it's possible!" But I believe that it was formed by the changes in the earth's crust hundreds of millions of years ago - a large cave was formed, and then suddenly there was a surge of seawater, and the sea water sealed the air in the cave, and the sea water was also blocked by the air and could not enter, which formed that strange and inexplicable phenomenon! ”

Long Sihai shook his head: "No, theoretically, there is no such possibility, you dip an empty bottle in water-" He said this, I already know his words, not only can not overturn my hypothesis, but also, just to help my hypothesis, can be "theoretically true".

Of course, if a bottle with a large mouth is pointed upwards and put directly into the water, the air in the bottle will escape and the water will rush in. However, if it is a bottle with a small mouth, especially if the neck of the bottle is a little twisted, and it is placed horizontally into the water, the air will remain in the bottle, which is enough to stop the water from pouring in from the bottle.

That's what I assume!

The fifth brother still didn't understand these physics knowledge, Long Sihai explained it to him, and he muttered: "It's so strange, it's so strange!" ”

Long Sihai said: "The wonders formed by nature, even on land, there are many incredible, not to mention the bottom of the sea!" His words, logically, are difficult to hold, but they sound quite convincing.

I said: "After confirming this hypothesis first, and then listening to the fifth brother's narration, it will be much easier to understand, and there are many unsolvable mysteries that can be easily solved." ”

Long Sihai said: "For example, why is it so dark - the submarine cave, there is no day, and the natural darkness is so dark!" ”

I said, "Another example is why there is no barrier between the water and people, the water is blocked there by a vacuum, forming a wall of water. ”

Long Sihai also said: "I also understand the reason why the fifth brother is not allowed to light the light." ”

I nodded, and the rest of us couldn't understand for a moment.

The old god of Long Sihai said: "No matter how big the cave is, when it was formed, the air that was sealed in it will be eternal and unchanged, only less and less, not increasing." Many people live in it, consume oxygen, and if they only breathe, they can last for many years, but if you add to the widespread fire, the burning consumes a lot of gas, and people cannot live. ”

Long Sihai said: "Yes! Pole to the pole! There must have been a very strict rule back then, except for special groups, no one else was allowed to bring fire! And these people? ”

I said slowly: "It should be an ancient alchemist, the so-called dragon and tiger, which could have been used as a term for alchemy, the so-called dragon and tiger, dragon and tiger yuanzhi, dragon and tiger jiao, dragon and tiger string qi, dragon and tiger guan axis, dragon and tiger lead, dragon and tiger meeting...... What, they are a privileged class, holding the mystical inheritance. For example, the choice of left, the choice of land, the prohibition of moving, the Danjing, the soil, charcoal, licking water, incense, altar, lead mining, mercury extraction, tripod vessels, medicinal mud, keeping, middle tire, heat, furnace, food and other alchemy matters. Even...... That's where the legendary true water comes from.

"Lu Zuzhi Dongbin Ten Questions Cloud House" recorded, "There is gas in the water, which is called fire." The heart is also on fire, and the name of the liquid in the fire is called true water. The heart produces liquid, and the liquid is born in the heart and does not dissipate, so it is called true water. "The Southern Song Dynasty Wang Qizhen compiled the "Shangqing Lingbao*" volume 59, "The person who is true to the water is the qi in the yin, and it is the water for the heavens, and it is the emperor." Ho yes? In the Gai Taiji family, one of them is vitality, which is both cute and has a ...... It is the true essence of Taiyin, and this is the true water flowing into the heavenly river. "However, my assumption is connected with an even more terrifying fact, there are many people, thousands, maybe tens of thousands, maybe more, who have been living in that great cave under the sea! They lived in a dark cave under the sea...... Considering that the Manchu Qing Dynasty worshiped Buddha and destroyed the Tao, it was at least more than five hundred years! "

The cuckoo asked stupidly, "They live so long?" Could it be that there really is an elixir of immortality? "

The fifth brother said: "Who can live so long?" Of course, it is passed down from generation to generation! ”

Long Sihai also knew that if my hypothesis was true, it would be an earth-shattering discovery - a large group of people who have been living under the sea! And it's a remnant of the Ming Dynasty! Even if you don't have the technology of ancient civilizations, just the supplement of history and culture is enough to feed countless historians!

Long Sihai was stunned for a while before he said, "If you want to discover the alchemy pill room." Naturally, this group needs to be brought back to the surface. ”

I don't pay attention to those people because things are grotesque, they're complicated, and they have to be solved one by one.

I said, "How can you be sure that this is the site of the Alchemy Pill Chamber?" What about the magnificent buildings in the water? “

Long Sihai triumphant: "That's my inference." "

I said, "On what's the basis?" "

Long Sihai pointed to the fifth brother: "According to his narrative!" "

I snorted, there were two words that didn't have to be spoken, Long Sihai could also understand what I was thinking; Everything in front of him is inferred from his narrative, and it is not known whether it is true or not.

So Long Sihai encouraged him, "Fifth brother, you go down." The fifth brother nodded: "When I walked back, all the teams were not as neat as when they came, the teams were scattered, they could be interspersed, and there were people talking to each other-"

However, we all know that at this time, the fifth brother only thinks of one point, what should I do? What should I do?

He was really terrified in his heart, he didn't dare to be alone or with others, and when all around him became dark, he was even more helpless. Just as he was in a dilemma, and felt the people around him gradually thinning out, he suddenly felt something approaching his side very quickly, and he wanted to avoid it, but it was too late, and a big hand as strong as iron pincers grabbed his arm at once.

His surprise was really extraordinary, he wanted to scream, but before he could make a sound, another big hand came up and covered his mouth, almost making him breathless.

He wanted to struggle. But where did he make a contribution, he was already involuntarily dragged out, and he was dragged out of a few steps, and he was lifted up again, and he moved forward very quickly.

At this time, the fifth brother calmed down, because the man carried him, the distance of his body was naturally very close, and he already smelled a familiar body odor, which was the smell on the body of the beautiful girl that he had been familiar with these days.

Although he went out of the cave without permission and was inevitably blamed, as long as it was Na Yannu, his life could be guaranteed.

After being mentioned for a while, my hand holding his mouth loosened slightly, and he called the name of the girl, and heard only a low shout, which was the voice of the girl, as if ordering him to silence.

The fifth brother didn't dare to say anything more, so the girl let him down and dragged him along quickly, and after a long time, his eyes lit up and he had returned to the cave.

The glimmer in the culvert, from the glowing lichen, was faint at first, but it had been in the darkness for a long time. The fifth brother fixed his mind, and when he went to see the girl, he saw that she was angry and concerned, her forehead was full of sweat, and even her hair was attached to one side of her cheek, and she looked at herself, as if she didn't know what to do with herself. Coupled with the rapid journey all the way, panting and chest rising and falling, lining her snow-white face and neck, it was very moving.

The fifth brother didn't say anything, just hugged Yannu tightly, kissed and kissed, to show his joy to return to the cave.

Hearing this, I glanced at the man with disdain.

The fifth brother had a cruel look on his face, he said that the girl at that time sighed, pushed him away slightly, pointed to the curtain at the entrance of the cave, and said a few words, and the fifth brother understood that it meant that he should never go out again. In this case, the fifth brother naturally agreed first and then said - the situation outside is so weird and terrifying, in this cave, it can be said to be a comfortable nest.

In the following days, Na Yannu was better for the fifth brother, except that she did not see the light of day. The dried salted fish and unknown grassy plants are also gradually getting used to eating.

Moreover, the fifth brother was gradually learning the language that Yannu spoke, and he realized that that time he slipped out of the cave and participated in the public puja, and when everyone suddenly fell to the ground, he slowed down for a few seconds, and the Yannu happened to be not far from him, and recognized him, and since then, Yannu has been paying attention to him, so after the ceremony, you can come to his side at once.

He also knew that the ritual of that kind of gathering, which was held regularly, was to remove the seaweed and other appendages from the magnificent buildings in the sea, and he also knew that in this place where there was no light of day, there were many, many of these little holes, and that there were many people living here, and that all of them were unknown minorities, belonging to the tomb people, and everyone was of the same race.

When the fifth brother knew this, with his limited knowledge, he also thought that if they were members of the same clan and did not interact with the outside world, then how could they pass on the lineage?

He asked the question, but the girl covered his mouth with her big hand, and she expressed anything she didn't want to discuss.

——Come to "Pretend to be a Ghost" with the heroine to discover the truth of the world, you can collect votes, share WeChat to earn points——

She also told him that although this place was dark, it was very well organized, and there was no mercy for outsiders.

The fifth brother mentioned the situation of his own coming, and asked how he came, but he did not get an answer. When asked what the building was, Yeon's answer was: A thing sleeps there, a huge thing, it sleeps there forever and ever.

Yannu said it quite literarily, and the fifth brother could also know that it was a big man's grave. That's what we thought at first.

The people of Shiling told me one thing, if you don't follow the lord of the country, you won't make laws. This is the price of the ancient monks, and the later Buddhism and Taoism, and the Yin and Yang Mr. before the liberation all did this.

The ancient emperors pursued immortality the most, many monks and Taoists were closely associated with the court, and all this can be traced back to the era of the ancestral dragon Qin Shi Huang, the name of the Fang Shi began in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, at first it was just the name of the immortal family in the land of Yan Qi, Qin Shi Huang sought immortality, sent Xu Fu to the sea to find the three god mountains, and made Lu Sheng and other alchemy, view the king's qi, choose the emperor's mausoleum, and even later pit Confucianism and burned books, during which the protagonists were all Fangshi. Later, in the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu wrote "Spring and Autumn Dew", talking about the art of praying for rain and praying for sunshine, and Confucianism also regarded the study of the Book of Changes, the practice of magic, and the examination of good fortune as a fashionable thing. In later generations, most of the so-called divination, star divination, and public opinion flow were all alienated from Confucian scholars. And the Daomen's spitting, guiding, baiting, and outer pill techniques are inseparable from the immortal family among the hundreds of sons at the beginning.

Therefore, there is the so-called Qin Emperor Han Wu, which is slightly inferior to the literary style. In the content recorded in ancient books, it is described in detail that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked magic arts, but they never succeeded, leaving only a thousand years of ridicule for people. During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there were many people who died unjustly in the Western Regions of Dawan on the side of the wild road. Some birds put a kind of grass on the face of the dead, and the dead were immediately resurrected. The government reported this matter to Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang sent people to Beicheng with that kind of grass to ask Guiguzi for advice. Since then, Qin Shi Huang has never forgotten the way of immortality. Zhang Yimou's "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" is taken from the legend of immortal medicine, and similar legends abound. There is still the so-called finishing touch of the story is popular, most people think that Zhang Seng Miao from the Southern Dynasty Liang, in fact, as early as the first year of Qin Shi Huang, someone did a similar miracle, when Qian Xiao Kingdom dedicated to Qin Shi Huang a person who is good at carving and painting, his name is descendant. He can spray cinnabar and stone blue on the ground, and he can instantly conjure up the faces of all kinds of ghosts and all kinds of things. He was also able to carve all kinds of animals out of stone, and even the hair was as lifelike as the real thing. In addition, he engraved the time of the carving on the chests of the animals. He spread the silk cloth on the ground, and within a square inch, he drew a map of the four desecrations and the five mountains of the river, the river, the Huai, and the Ji, as well as the nations. The dragons and phoenixes he portrayed were fluttering and vivid, but they didn't have eyes, and if they did, they would really fly away.

Qin Shi Huang sighed: "How can this carved fake thing fly away? He asked the painter to paint an eye on each of the two jade tigers, and within ten days the two jade tigers were missing, and I don't know where they went. The people on the edge of the deep mountains and Daze said that when they saw two white tigers, each missing an eye, they were always inseparable, walking together, looking exactly the same, and there was no difference in even the color of their coats. People who often see these two white tigers are amazed. By the following year, the West offered two white tigers, both missing an eye. Qin Shi Huang ordered people to open the cart to take a closer look, and suspected that it was the two jade tigers that had been lost earlier, so he stabbed them to death. Checking their chests, there are small letters, and sure enough, they are the two jade tigers that were lost last year. Legend has it that at that time, after Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to ask for immortal medicine, he also built a stone bridge himself, wanting to cross the East China Sea and see the sun rising in the Tang Valley.

However, the stone bridge built in the sea was not completed by ancient artificial, so Qin Shi Huang used the whip of the world to drive eleven stone mountains down to the sea as bridge piers. These mountains now stand majestically at the bottom of the sea at low tide and slope eastward, as if they follow each other. And because the stone mountain was walking too slowly, Qin Shi Huang whipped it with a whip, and the stones flowed blood, and they are still like that. Among them, there is also the credit of Ryujinli. Qin Shi Huang later burned incense and prayed, asking to meet him. The dragon god said, "My appearance is very ugly, let's make an agreement first, don't draw me, so that I can meet you." Qin Shi Huang immediately agreed, and walked thirty miles from the stone bridge to the sea to meet the dragon god. However, the descendants of the emperor's subordinates secretly drew the appearance of the dragon god with their feet. When the dragon god found out, he was furious and said: "I can't imagine that you, the emperor, have also made a promise, please go back immediately!" Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to turn the horse's head. No sooner had the horse's front legs hit the ground than the stone bridge under the hind legs collapsed, and it merely landed him on the shore.

At the beginning of the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the vicissitudes of the sea changed, and the side of Qin Shi Huang's Wanghaitai became a swamp called Bei Hubo, and there was a fisherman named Zhang Yuzhou who built a grass house to live in. Once, a tiger suddenly walked into the grass hut and caught up with Zhang Yuzhou sleeping, and when it was about to dawn, Zhang Yuzhou felt that there was someone in the house. At first, I didn't know it was a tiger, but when I saw it at dawn, Zhang Yuzhou was so frightened that he lay there and didn't dare to move. The tiger slowly touched Zhang Yuzhou with his feet. Zhang Yuzhou thought that something might be wrong, so he sat up. The tiger lifted his left front foot for Zhang Yuzhou to see, and when Zhang Yuzhou saw it, he saw that there was a five- or six-inch-long thorn on the tiger's foot, so he pulled it out for it. The tiger jumped out of the hut as if it were bowing down. So he leaned close to Zhang Yuzhou, and after a long time, the tiger looked back and left. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a big thing fall to the ground in front of the house. Zhang Yuzhou went out to take a look, it was a very fat wild boar, almost 300 catties. The tiger also saw Zhang Yuzhou there, and leaned close to him to express his affection, and it took a long time to go. From then on, every night the tiger brought something, either a pig or a deer.

And rightfully so...... The people in the village thought Zhang Yuzhou was a monster, so they sent him to the county. Zhang Yuzhou elaborated on the beginning and the end. The county order sent someone to peek with Zhang Yuzhou. At the second watch, the tiger sent another elk. The county ordinance acquitted him. Zhang Yuzhou set up one hundred and one lent merits for the tiger. That night, the tiger brought another silk. One day, his grass house was suddenly demolished by the tiger, and it was estimated that Zhang Yuzhou would not be allowed to live here. Zhang Yuzhou knew what this meant, so he moved to live elsewhere. After that, the tiger did not come again, and this tiger was probably a descendant of the two tigers. In the end, Qin Shi Huang still got the medicine of immortality, but unfortunately he couldn't save his fate, but there was a hairy girl named Yujiang in the Western Han Dynasty recorded in the "Taiping Guangji", who lived in Huayin Mountain. Visitors to the mountains and hunters have seen her for generations. She was covered with hair, and she said that she was the palace maid of Qin Shi Huang. When the Qin Dynasty fell, she drank a sip of immortal medicine water and fled into the mountains, and the Taoist priest taught her to eat pine leaves, so she was not hungry and cold, and her body was so light. By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, it had been more than 170 years.

During the time of Qin Shi Huang, strange people and strange things happened one after another, such as a common man in Wanqu Kingdom, who came on a spiral-shaped boat that could sneak underwater. He said: "Our country is more than 100,000 miles away from the cemetery of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the sage in my country saw the black wind in Jizhou a very long time ago, and he concluded that there should be a saint in Jizhou, and sure enough, Yao appeared in Qingdu. This was undoubtedly the precursor to submarines in later generations. Also during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, twelve elders were found in Lintao, all of whom were dressed in the costumes of ethnic minorities. Qin Shi Huang then cast twelve bronze statues, all of which were made in imitation of the appearance of the twelve elders. Probably this is the current indiscriminate use of humanoid mechas. When Han Gaozu first entered Xianyang Palace, he traveled through all the treasury. There are too many gold and jade jewels in the library to describe them all. What surprised him the most was that there were five jade lamps, which were seven feet five inches high, and below them was a dragon, holding the lamp with his mouth. When the lamp is lit, all the dragon's scales will move, and the light will fill the house like stars.

and twelve men cast in brass, all three feet high, on a single seat. Each person holds a musical instrument, either a qin, a building, a sheng, or a zhu. All of them are colorful, just like living people. There are two copper pipes under the mat, and the upper nozzle is several feet above the ground and sticks out from behind the mat. One of the tubes was empty, and one tube had a rope in it, as thick as a finger. Let one person blow the empty pipe, one person twist the rope, and the piano will be played in unison, no different from the music played by a real person. The jade qin is six feet long, there are thirteen strings on it, and twenty-six strings are tied to the strings, all of which are decorated with treasures such as gold, silver, glass, agate, and roses, and the engraved name is called "the joy of the finn". The jade flute is two feet three inches long, has six holes, and when it is played, it can appear in the mountains and forests of cars, horses, and strange rocks. After blowing, it will no longer appear. The engraved name is "Zhaohua's Tube". There was a square mirror, four feet wide and five feet nine inches high, which was bright inside and out. When people come to take pictures directly, the image is inverted; If you cover your heart with your hands, you can see the five organs of the stomach and intestines, which are clear and unobstructed. If you are sick in your body, you will be able to know where the disease is. In addition, the woman has an evil heart, and her heart beats boldly when she takes a photo. I heard that Qin Shi Huang often used to take pictures of the beauties in the palace, and anyone who dared to beat his heart would be executed.

Han Gaozu sealed all these treasures and waited for Xiang Yu to come. Xiang Yu took all these treasures away. I don't know where these treasures have gone. There is also Wang Cizhong, a native of Shangjun, who had different ambitions from others when he was a teenager, and changed the old script of Cangjie into the current official script. During the time of Qin Shi Huang, there were many official affairs, and with the words changed by Cizhong, it was much easier to do things. Therefore he called him into the palace. Wang Cizhong has the idea of pursuing true knowledge in his heart, and exhaustively studies the mysteries of astronomy and divination. Qin Shi Huang was very angry that he was disrespectful to the emperor and ordered him to be sent to the capital in a prisoner car. According to the materialist point of view, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were emperors, and the emperor was in the position of saving people, and he had a way to save people and did not implement it, but went to find the magic of the gods, which is wrong. But even after death, Qin Shi Huang wanted to ask for immortality. According to the record of "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji", when the Lishan Mausoleum was built, "wear three springs, go down to the copper and cause the coffin, the palace looks at the hundred officials, and the strange weapons are full of strange migrations." With mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, the machine phase is instilled. The upper part has astronomy, the lower part has geography, and the mermaid paste is used as a candle, and the one who is not extinguished will last for a long time. "This exquisitely constructed, whimsical mausoleum is full of treasures, and everywhere embodies the majesty of the king and the honor of the dead country. In the Han Dynasty, there were five oak trees, all of which were connected to each other and embraced, and the branches on them were connected together, covering the shade of dozens of miles. There is a green Wu view in the west of the palace. There are three plane trees in front of the view. There are two stone unicorns under the tree. There are words engraved on both sides of the chest of the stone unicorn. This is what is on the tomb of Qin Shi Huang Lishan. The head is one foot high and three feet to the east. One of the left feet on the east side was broken, and there was red like blood in the broken place. The local fathers and elders said that there was a god, and they all had blood and tendons.

"Zongbei Biography" records that during the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan's subordinates of Eastern Wu obtained a copper box when digging the ground, which was two feet seven inches long, with a glazed lid and a pattern carved on the box. I got a white jade Ruyi, and the place where I held it was engraved with dragon, tiger, and cicada-shaped patterns. At that time, no one knew the origin of this object, and Sun Quan thought that Dr. Hu Zong was very familiar with the past, so he sent someone to ask. Hu Zong said: "When Qin Shi Huang traveled eastward, he thought that Jinling had the spirit of the son of heaven, so he changed the name of the county, dug the river, bulldozed the hills, and buried treasures in various places, using this method to destroy the spirit of the king's land, which was recorded in the "Qin Records". These things are the treasures that were buried back then. "Even Zhao Zuo, who taught the country in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, was often sick, and in a trance, two officials in yellow clothes arrested him and walked to the west of the Guanfeng Building of the Hot Spring Palace. There was another official mansion next to him, and the little official led him in, only to see a person like the emperor. Zhao Zuo stepped forward to pay a visit, and the emperor said to Zhao Zuo: "Do you know me?" Zhao Zuo said he didn't know, and the man said, "Have you heard of Qin Shi Huang?" I am. After asking a lot about the world, he told Zhao Zuo: "The world will soon be in turmoil, and you should try to avoid disasters by yourself, and don't live in the capital for a long time." After saying that, he sent someone to return him.

I thought about it, the fifth brother was still telling his experience, his years in the cave, day and night, I don't know how long it took, there was another party like the last time, this time, he asked Yannu to take him to participate, Yannu actually agreed.

With the experience of the last time, and this time there is a beautiful girl by his side, and he understands the other party's language roughly, so compared to the last time, he is very calm.

He heard that the shouting was all a command to the people, either to march to the exit, or to stop, or to bow down. The chanting in the wailing sound is full of eulogies, singing about how a "person" is majestic and great, and so on.

The fifth brother also looked more carefully, and those who were on the cage ladder were not hindered at all when they entered the water and were pulled back again.

He asked her why she was in this situation, and she only said that it was a godsend.

After having such an experience for the second time, the fifth brother had a thought, feeling that if he sought a way out of this place, the only possibility was to run into the water, float up, and as long as he kept floating upward, he would always be able to float out of the water.

To get out of the water, the Dragon Balls are naturally essential, at least one of those covers on the head. A hemispherical object that can be slightly breathable in water.

He didn't dare to ask Yannu, but he just paid attention to it. He saw that the people had cleared the seaweed from the building, and when they had swam back, as soon as they got up the ladder, they removed the hemispherical object and threw it downward, and some people below shouted and caught it, and put it together on one cart after another, and they were pushed and pulled forward, and after a while they disappeared into the darkness, and it seemed that they were stored up and used next time.

The fifth brother spent a long time planning to leave this place, and Long Sihai later estimated that it would be more than a year. Before, the fifth brother didn't understand how so many people could recognize the way in the dark. During this time, as soon as Yannu left, he stole out of the cave, and at first, he walked ten or so steps out and came back, and then gradually walked farther, at most a few hundred steps, and several times he could barely touch it.

When he left the cave, he also met people, heard people's voices, he approached, people also knew that he was close, and sometimes when he talked to him, he could also respond vaguely.

More than once, he felt that he was really no different from the people who came and went in the darkness of the underworld, weren't they like ghosts? He also knows why the skin here is so white - after birth, he never sees the sun, and his skin is not white.

He had pretended to be inadvertently several times and asked Yannu why the people here could move in the dark, and Yannu couldn't say why, but she knew that if she wanted to get to that large area of "upright water", there would be a leader to lead the way, and in normal times, no one could go, and as soon as she was discovered, she would be executed immediately. The people of this place are called Taoist soldiers, and the military rule is the family, and the order is forbidden.

The fifth brother kept all this in his heart, and he also studied the language spoken by Yannu more diligently, until he gathered in front of the large "upright water" again, which was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.

This time, Yannu was still advancing in the line with him, but the guard against him had been loosened a lot, and suddenly, the fifth brother took a few steps in the stab, and then immediately fell to the ground.

These days, he has already known that not only is he hiding here, but it is also a great sin for others to know, even if Yannu lets others know that she keeps herself, it is also a big sin.

Therefore, he expected to do that, and Yannu did not dare to make a loud noise. Sure enough, Yannu only let out an angry muffled snort, and in the future, by the side of the fifth brother, there was only the sound of footsteps.

The next moment, the fifth brother stood up, and some people passed by him. He quickened his pace, this time as close as possible to the "upright water", the first step in his plan.

When many people gathered in front of the water again and began to crouch, the fifth brother was only about three meters away from the water. He saw that the commander was wearing Taoist uniforms, the whole body revealed the inky blue water color of a deep pool in the mountains, the cuffs were narrowed like military uniforms, and the collar, sleeves and hem were all edged with goose yellow brocade...... Or the smell of the children of the family. At the hem, from the ink blue water color, a few traces of green jasper color are blurred, just like the water shining between the pond and the stream.

This person was dressed and looked very powerful, and gave an order. The wooden shelves, which had been covered with fur, were revealed, and the cage ladder rose to the sound of fire bells. Although it was the third experience, this time it was close, and the fifth brother still felt extremely spectacular.

What happened next was exactly the same as the last two, everything went according to the same pattern, meticulously.

When the ceremony was over and the formation began to be less rigorous, the fifth brother began to move forward. This time, because he was taller and closer to the upright water, he could see the magnificent buildings in the water more clearly, and before he saw the buildings, there was a large stone square, and above that square there was a set of stone walls, not high, but quite wide. On that wall, there are many Taoist soldiers and horses in relief, attacking a temple, the people on the relief, are almost as big as the real water, one of them is a middle-aged man in Taoist clothes, riding on a tall horse, heroic and inexplicable, it looks like a boss. The reliefs are very vivid, and the large stone statues are moving in the wind, as if you can hear the shouts and fighting sounds of thousands of troops.

The fifth brother moved until he was very close to the cage ladders, and then stopped, and saw the cage ladders retract back to the shelves, and the huge shelves, pushed by many people, pushed forward in the gradually approaching darkness.

Next, he cautiously followed the men pushing the cart to a large culvert. There was also a faint light in the culvert, and he couldn't tell how big the culvert was, but as far as his eyes could see, the culvert was full of all kinds of things, and it seemed that most of them were alchemy materials.

He was aiming for the kind of hemisphere, which was piled up in the culvert, and he succeeded in getting one.

The most challenging thing is how he will be in front of the "upright water" again, which is an important part of his escape plan.

Now I have a high opinion of his plan, because he actually thought of the most difficult hurdle to overcome.

The labyrinth simply existed along with the progress of ancient human civilization. Scientists generally believe that a labyrinth is a kind of place: a zigzag passage, separated by a wall. People perform ceremonies, dances, and performances here. When modern scientists teach animals to go through a maze to find food or avoid electric shocks, the mice must be able to fully document the success of the master plan for passing through the maze, and must be able to modify the plan to pass the maze effectively. This form of learning is certainly a form of feedback, but it is a higher level of feedback, the "logical type" of what Russell calls labyrinths, and humans have been building labyrinths for 5,000 years. During the different cultural developments of the world, these peculiar buildings have always attracted people to walk the winding and difficult paths in search of the truth.

To describe the first labyrinth in Greek mythology, one cannot fail to recall the words of the famous Argentine poet, writer and translator Hori Borges: "Build a house where you can't find an exit, and perhaps more bizarrely, there is a monster with the head of a bull and a human body." ”

If the Homeric myth of Greece is true, once upon a time the Minoan kings ruled Crete. One year, he did not send the promised sacrificial bull to Poseidon, and the god was furious and determined to take revenge. He possessed the bull and seduced Queen Parsiphae, the wife of King Minos. Soon after, the queen gave birth to a monster with the head of a bull and a human body, the first Minotaur of the Minotaur. In order to hide the monster from becoming a scandal, King Minos ordered Daedalus, the island's finest craftsman, to build a labyrinth: a strange underground house, with corridors getting farther and farther away from the light, and there was no way to find an exit. Daedalus was one of the most dexterous and intelligent artists, architects and sculptors in all of Greece. He built a huge labyrinth for King Minos to imprison the minotaur trolls. But the king imprisoned him on a desert island in order to hide the secret of the labyrinth. However, he was clever enough to make two pairs of handmade wings out of bird feather twine and wax, and Daedalus could fly away from the desert island with his son Icarus on his back, but this was another tragedy about the education of fathers and sons.

In short, the frenzied Minotaur wandered between the walls, rushing left and right, and feasting on the boys and girls that the king of Athens had paid tribute to. Finally, one day, the Athenian prince Theseus broke into the labyrinth with a sword. He retreated all the way from the thread that King Minoan's daughter Ariadne had given him, killed the Minotaur, and then followed the thread to find an exit and leave the labyrinth alive. The earliest labyrinth known to archaeologists is much later than the mythological labyrinth, and it was built in a royal palace in the capital of Crete during the Mycenaean period around 1600 BC. It bears a resemblance to the labyrinth painted on clay tablets from the 12th century BC found in Pylos, Greece.

The story of this clay tablet goes like this: behind the door of a royal palace in the city of Troy sat a courtier. His task was to register on clay tablets the number of goats paid by his subjects and the names of those who paid tribute. When the tribute had gone, he had nothing to do, so he turned the clay tablet over and drew a labyrinth on it. It was this clay slab that lay in the ground for about 3,200 years and miraculously survived intact to this day. During the Trojan War in the 12th century BC, many peoples invaded Mycenaean Greece, cities and castles were destroyed, traditions were lost, and the magic of the labyrinth seemed to be weakened. However, the neglect of tradition has not diminished interest in labyrinths. In the first millennium BC, by the Roman period, labyrinth motifs became the preferred ornament. In the mansions of the nobility, the vestibule and dining room were decorated with labyrinthine motifs. The center of these geometric patterns is usually a sight from ancient mythology: Theseus and the slain Minotaurus. At that time, people seemed to be more concerned with the form of the pattern, and sometimes did not care that their "labyrinth" was wrong – they could neither get in nor get out. And so this interest expanded, spreading from the Mediterranean to Syria and then to the countries of the East – today's Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Soon it spread to the West: Spain, England, Scandinavia and Rus'.

Archaeologists in Scandinavia discovered a human-high labyrinth made of stone and named it the "Trojan Fortress". An ingenious path leads to the central square. There was a girl waiting for her sweetheart, and she danced through the winding path to get closer to her. Especially in the Christian period, the divine power of the labyrinth returned. The whole life of man is like a labyrinth, and the center of this labyrinth is the turning point of life. Only through the arduous and winding pilgrimage path can one say goodbye to the sinful life and reach the center of the labyrinth, where the purpose of life is found. In the small motifs used to decorate manuscripts in the early Middle Ages, the shape of the labyrinth changed, and the priest Ottefried Weiselburgsky made the lines that made up the labyrinth form a Christian cross, thus giving rise to a variety of Gothic labyrinths. The motifs of these labyrinths are often used to decorate the entrance to the cathedral. Chartres Cathedral, for example, is a labyrinth. To get to the center of the church, you have to make 28 turns—the same number of days as a lunar month.

From the Renaissance onwards, labyrinths became mathematical problems. In medieval England, lawn mazes were popular, that is, lawns were planted in the style of a labyrinth. It's not hard to imagine what this is like. Young people love to come here for a walk; Craftsmen's guilds hold festivals here; Citizens also come here for religious celebrations. South Wales has a very old labyrinth that has been preserved, dating back to 1800. To this day, there are dozens of such labyrinths for tourists to visit. There are three similar labyrinths in Germany: the one in Hanover called "The Wheel". There are also two built by Swedish soldiers during the 30-year war of 1618~1648, one is north of Naumburg, called the "Swedish Wheel"; There is also one in Greitgen, called "Swedish Mowing Field". In Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea and Russia, there are more than 500 ancient labyrinths. These labyrinths were built of small boulders and boulders, and were called the "Trojan Fortresses" of the North. Most of the labyrinths range in diameter from 7~18 meters, and many are Cretan labyrinths with only one entrance, and only a few Baltic labyrinths have two entrances. Judging by the lichens covered in stone, all these labyrinths were built between the 13th ~ 17th centuries. Their use is still unknown, perhaps for sacrificial purposes, or maybe not. Because at that time Europe had entered the Renaissance, and people had become masters of their own destiny and had found a way to save themselves.

But the magic of the labyrinth is as good as ever...... Whether it is the Oriental folk Nine Palaces, Nine Links, Huarong Dao, or the cube and the matrix of Western film and television dramas. From Sword and Fairy to Harry Potter, it all stems from urban legends...... Or the psychological cognition caused by cultural traditions. In both the East and the West, it is believed that the walls of the labyrinth have magical powers: turning around the labyrinth can bring a good harvest to the fields, and those who have no children can have children, in short, they can fulfill their wishes, so in the past, people used to hold coming-of-age ceremonies in the labyrinth. Some ethnic groups even believe that labyrinths have the power to aid childbirth, such as in some parts of northern India, where bronze plates with labyrinths are used to hold water for mothers to drink. This custom continued into the eighteenth and ninth centuries. The emperors of the East built a labyrinth in the imperial tomb while using the mountain as a mausoleum, trapping tomb robbers in later generations. About the maze and the struggle to crack the labyrinth, it is enough to write 100 copies of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" or "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

Of course, the fifth brother is not a tomb robber and does not have professional skills. And in the thick darkness, it is impossible to recognize the way at all. But he knew that if he saw the light of the great "upright water," he could go to that water, and this became a favorable condition in the darkness. He carried dozens of small stones with glowing lichens with him, and whenever he felt a turn, he put one down.

The water stone is only the size of a finger, and the light emitted by it is naturally extremely weak, even in the thick black, it is not easy to attract people's attention, not to mention that there is this kind of lichen growing here, but it is only a piece of long, at least the size of a palm, unlike the one he put down only a little, so it is not easy to arouse suspicion, and he himself is easy to identify.

He also knew that it would take a long time for the "upright water" to shine out, so he carefully groped his way back.

This night can be said to be the longest night in the fifth brother's life, and when he finally saw a hazy light in front of him, he knew that he had hope.

Then, at last, he got to the "upright water".

When he came to the front of the water, he still didn't believe that he could walk into the water like this, he first stretched out a hand, and inserted it into the water without difficulty, bringing him a sense of coolness all over his body, and when he retracted his hand, he brought out some splashes, and the water in front of him actually flashed a ripple, and the fifth brother involuntarily took a few steps back—he was afraid that the large piece of water would suddenly pour down.

Of course, if that piece of water poured up, even if he withdrew a few kilometers, he would also suffer a catastrophe. It was a catastrophe that could not have been imagined. It was strange to him that there was no one near the "upright water".

He tried twice before he slowly descended into the water—a very strange experience, standing alone and entering the water sideways. If Jackson's space step.

When he was in the water, he calmed down, held his breath and put the hemisphere over his head, grasping the edge of the hemisphere with both hands.

When I heard him say this, he naturally showed a suspicious look, I didn't look at others, I just looked at Long Sihai, he was an old Jianghu, he should know what I was suspicious.

Long Sihai nodded to me, indicating that my suspicions were reasonable, but extenuating.

So I asked, "Fifth brother, do you know how deep the sea is?" "
